Boston Grand Piano designed by Steinway & Sons
At 163 cm, this grand piano is small enough to fit in any home, but possesses the sound of a much larger grand, thanks to its wide-tail design.

The only international law that can secure tribal peoples land rights is the International Labour Organization Convention 169. ILO 169 recognizes and protects tribal peoples land ownership rights, and sets a series of minimum UN standards regarding consultation and consent.
ILO 169 has been around since 1989, but only twenty-two countries have ratified it so far. At this rate, it will be another 170 years before every country has ratified the Convention. Every country that does so, strengthens its force, and gives tribal peoples a greater chance to survive and thrive.
Most governments refuse to ratify it. Quote

Historian Klaus Mller interviews survivors of the Nazi persecution of homosexuals because of the German Penal Code of 1871, Paragraph 175.
Active from 15 May 1871 to 10 March 1994, it made homosexual acts between males a crime. All in all, around 140,000 men were convicted under the law. The Nazis broadened the law in 1935; in the prosecutions that followed, thousands died in concentration camps as a widespread social persecution of homosexuals took place. East Germany reverted to the old version of the law in 1950, following the Soviet Union and its satellite states' policy of persecuting homosexuals as subversives. West Germany retained the 1935 version until 1969, and finally revoked entirely in 1994 after German reunification. Quote
