Some of these are among the most popular theatrical music in the classical repertoire. He was the first Russian composer whose music made a lasting impression internationally, which he bolstered with appearances as a guest conductor later in his career in Europe and the United States. One of these appearances was at the inaugural concert of Carnegie Hall in New York City in 1891.

Ie is the type of shirt of a typical gathered form of the collar, which exists since ancient times. It is also known as the 'Carpathian shirt', similar to the Slavic (Bulgarian, Serbian, Ukrainian, etc.) peoples. The three-part decor code of this pleated shirt is almost always the same: in addition to the underarm embroidery, the altiță (derived from Serbian ла̏тица), there is a single horizontal row on the sleeve, known as increț, and diagonal stripes below the armpit and shoulder, the râuri. The underarm embroidery characterizes the entire costume, it is traditionally seen as the culmination of embroidery and decoration. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanian_dress#Ie" target="_blank">Read more..</a></blockquote>

World War II (WWII or WW2), also known as the Second World War (after the recent Great War), was a global war that lasted from 1939 to 1945, though related conflicts began earlier. It involved the vast majority of the world's nations—including all of the great powers—eventually forming two opposing military alliances: the Allies and the Axis. It was the most widespread war in history, and directly involved more than 100 million people from over 30 countries. In a state of 'total war', the major participants threw their entire economic, industrial, and scientific capabilities behind the war effort, erasing the distinction between civilian and military resources. Marked by mass deaths of civilians, including the Holocaust (during which approximately 11 million people were killed) and the strategic bombing of industrial and population centres (during which approximately one million people were killed, including the use of two nuclear weapons in combat), it resulted in an estimated 50 million to 85 million fatalities. These made World War II the deadliest conflict in human history. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II" target="_blank">Read more..</a></blockquote>

ABOUT THE THEME</h3>

<tr><td style="font-size: small; text-align: justify;"><blockquote cite="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Year" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
New Year is the time at which a new calendar year begins and the calendar's year count is incremented. In many cultures, the event is celebrated in some manner. The New Year of the Gregorian calendar, today in worldwide use, falls on 1 January (New Year's Day), as was the case with both the old Roman calendar and the Julian calendar that succeeded it. The order of months was January to December in the Old Roman calendar during the reign of King Numa Pompilius in about 700 BC, according to Plutarch and Macrobius, and has been in continuous use since that time. In many countries, such as the Czech Republic, Italy, Spain, the UK, and the United States, 1 January is a national holiday. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Year" target="_blank">Read more..</a></blockquote>

The two subspecies, which differ slightly in size, breed in Europe (north to Finland), northwestern Africa, southwestern Asia (east to southern Kazakhstan) and southern Africa. The white stork is a long-distance migrant, wintering in Africa from tropical Sub-Saharan Africa to as far south as South Africa, or on the Indian subcontinent. When migrating between Europe and Africa, it avoids crossing the Mediterranean Sea and detours via the Levant in the east or the Strait of Gibraltar in the west, because the air thermals on which it depends do not form over water. <a href='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_stork' target='_blank'>Read more..</a></blockquote><span style='color: grey; font-size: xx-small; text-align: left;'>This article uses material from the Wikipedia article <a href='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_stork' target='_blank'>'White_stork'</a>, which is released under the <a href='http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/' target='_blank'>Creative Commons Attribution-Share-Alike License 3.0.</a></span></td></tr><!--this closes the container for the stamp text--><!--spacer row between stamps--><tr><td> </td><td> </td></tr><!--stamp row--><tr><td style='vertical-align: top; max-width: 335px;'><!--this is the container for the stamp image and caption--><table cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0' class='tr-caption-container' style='float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;'><tbody><tr><td style='text-align: center;'><a href='http://www.moldovastamps.org/catalogue-imageviewer.asp?issueID=1060&itemID=1302&classID=1&categoryID=1&iparam=stamp' target='_blank'><img alt='Zander (Stizostedion lucioperca)' border='0' src='http://www.moldovastamps.org/images/catalogue/stamps/large/885.jpg' style='border: 6px solid rgb(0, 0, 0); max-width: 320px; max-height: 320px;' title='Zander (Stizostedion lucioperca)'></a></td></tr><tr><td class='tr-caption' style='text-align: center;'><span style='font-size: x-small;'><a href='http://www.moldovastamps.org/catalogue-imageviewer.asp?issueID=1060&itemID=1302&classID=1&categoryID=1&iparam=stamp' target='_blank'>№ 885 | Zander (Stizostedion lucioperca)</a></span></td></tr></tbody></table><!--this closes the container for the stamp image and caption--></td><!--this is the container for the stamp text--><td style='text-align: left; vertical-align: top; font-size: small;'><h4 style='margin-left: -0px;'>Zander (Stizostedion lucioperca)</h4><ul style='margin-left: -0px; margin-top: 5px; padding-left: 20px;'><li>Michel Catalogue No: 885</li><li>Perforation Type/Size: Comb 14:14.50</li><li>Size: 46.00 x 27.50 mm</li><li>Face Value: 1.75 Lei</li><li>Quantity Printed: 120,000</li></ul></td></tr><tr><td colspan='2' style='text-align: justify; vertical-align: top;'><blockquote style='margin: 0px; padding: 0px;' cite='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zander'>Zander (Sander lucioperca, syn.

Zander are not, as is commonly believed, a pike and perch hybrid. In Europe, a second species (Sander volgensis) is limited to rivers in southern Russia and the basin of the Danube. These two species are suspected to hybridize occasionally where they are sympatric, as they produce fertile hybrids in captivity; no natural hybrids are known yet however, and while they are apparently hard to detect, it is suspected that the species are separated by strong prezygotic isolation.
