BERLIN, Germany – Foreign visitors continue their love-affair with Germany, as the country’s tourism industry looks headed for a fifth consecutive record year. But critics warn that new industry taxes could reverse the trend.
Nearly 43 million visitors checked into one of the nation’s accommodation establishments in September – a four-percent uptick in overnight stays compared with the same month last year, according to new numbers released by the Federal Statistical Office on Tuesday.

“We are going through a transitional phase, shifting from entertainment music.to something more expressive. This means that the new music wave is different from the past one. We now deal with music as an art beyond song. The history of Arab music is that of song and is closely tied to the authority of discourse. However, with protest songs, we now listen to music pieces with specific themes. This has ushered in a new phase focused on voice as art. Our relationship with the word has therefore become inseparable from the musical act. Such a development will lead to a qualitative evolution in the history of Arabic music.”

RICHMOND â The Virginia Museum of Fine Arts has acquired a painting by German expressionist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, which was presumed lost or stolen by the Nazis and was recently returned to the original owners.
The oil painting, completed in 1916, is titled âTaunus Roadâ or âAutostrasse im Taunusâ in German.
Last year, a private collector in Germany was preparing to sell the painting at auction. But an attorney hired by some longtime VMFA benefactors, who has been on the hunt for the familyâs lost art, was able to halt the sale and return the painting to the family.

We all want to progress. No one wants their gravestone’s inscription to be, “This person existed for a while without making any changes, made no connections, and nobody noticed their absence.” We all want to grow, to overcome the obstacles we face, to touch others’ lives, to be significant.
