Boys prepare for a swim at the base of the Statue of Civic Virtue Triumphant Over Unrighteousness at City Hall Park, July 8, 1932. Mayor LaGuardia disliked it; he resented being confronted with the male figure's bare posterior every day when he left City Hall. When Queens opened a new Borough Hall in 1940, LaGuardia seized the opportunity and gave the fountain to Queens, where it was moved in February 1941. He wasn't the only opponent: in 1987 Claire Shulman, the borough's first female president, said it should be moved because "A municipal building is not an appropriate place for a statue that portrays women as evil and treacherous." Eventually, in 2012, it was moved to Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn.

Unknown Mozart Music Discovered in Germany

A previously unknown piece of music likely composed by a teenage Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was recently uncovered at a library in Germany.

The piece, which dates to the mid- to late-1760s, consists of seven miniature movements for a string trio. It lasts around 12 minutes, researchers with the Leipzig Municipal Libraries said in a statement.

Researchers discovered the work at the city's music library while compiling the latest edition of the so-called Koechel catalog, the definitive archive of Mozart's musical works.

The piece is referred to as "Ganz kleine Nachtmusik" in the new Koechel catalog, according to the Leipzig libraries.

The Koechel catalog describes the piece as "preserved in a single source, in which the attribution of the author suggests that the work was written before Mozart's first trip to Italy", according to the municipal libraries.

The newly discovered manuscript, which consists of dark brown ink on medium-white handmade paper, was not penned by Mozart himself but is believed to be a copy made around 1780, the researchers said.

The young Mozart had been known to researchers up until now "mainly as a composer of piano music, arias and symphonies", Ulrich Leisinger of the International Mozarteum Foundation in Salzburg said in a statement.

A list by Mozart's father had alerted academics to the existence of "many other chamber music compositions" by the young artist, which were all thought to have been lost until the emergence of the string trio, Leisinger said.

"Since the inspiration for this apparently came from Mozart's sister, it is tempting to imagine that she kept the work as a memento of her brother," Leisinger said.

Born in 1756, Mozart was a child prodigy and began composing at a very early age under his father's guidance.

The piece was performed by a string trio at the unveiling of the new Koechel catalog in the Austrian city of Salzburg on Thursday. It will receive its German premiere at the Leipzig Opera on Saturday.

My indie animated show, cannibal pizza

Mentally ill patients from rehab sent to a mobile home assigned by the center but due to the rehab being shit quality—they’re soon informed they all have to live there till further notice.

Axe - loves thrash metal and self destruction

Jimmy - loves everything and everyone but is a little slow

Lola - loves paramore and heroin

Travis - just a guy….stuck….with these deranged idiots just because he’s Lola’s boyfriend

See what these deranged young adults get themselves into living together in a confided space !! Like cannibals consuming one another, instead they eat each others egos and passion ruining one another, and like pizza, they’re “fine” together but….are best as one

"Percurso Humano" - "Human Route". Acrylic on canvas. Painted in 1998, by one of my favourite artists: Malangatana Valente Ngwenya (1936-2011) - commonly known just as "Malangatana".

This amazing piece of art tells the story of the Portuguese colonialism and the oppression of the Mozambican people (Malangatana was from Mozambique). Take a second to pay attention to all the details and you will feel absolutely mesmerized.

I simply cannot tell you how much I love this paiting that I found in the Crato Municipal Museum.
