More stolen works of art discovered PARIS The recovery of a 15th century portrait and the capture of the man who allegedly stole it from an Italian museum led police to a cache of six other paintings snatched from museums in Paris over the summer. Police raided an apartment Saturday in a posh Paris neighborhood and found the portrait of the doge Francesco Foscari, stolen Friday from the Correr Museum in Saint Marks Square in Venice. The suspect, Richard Etoh-Mvondo, 21, provided information that led police to six stolen paintings that were being kept in Lyon, in southeast France, authorities said Sunday. The paintings, including a Renoir stolen from the Louvre, were lifted from their frames during visiting hours at various Paris museums.
Police did not say whether they believed Etoh-Mvondo was involved in those thefts. They gave no indication of whether there were other suspects. Vg Mf JtILU LiO I.J.. r-i ILjt c- cf a opportunity. If you cro thro ere to bmlevptry.

The almanac also forecasts a generally warmer spring and summer than normal, but a cool and wet fall. The almanac says its forecasts are based on a combination of a secret formula devised by its founder and the most modern scientific calculation based on solar activity. Hale also strays into earthquake forecasts, noting that the moon will be 221,545 miles from the Earth on New Years Eve, closer than its average of 251,000 miles. Some people would believe it would have an influence on an earthquake if an earthquake was thinking about happening, he said.
Believers argue that when the moon is closer and its gravitational pull is stronger, there is greater stress on rock layers that might rupture and cause a quake. The almanac even offers folk lore advice on babies. On conception, the almanac offers this folk wisdom: If a woman lays her hat or coat on a strange bed, she will have a child. To have a boy, she should hold a nickel in her mouth at the time of conception. To make the baby grow tall, folksters suggest putting manure in the childs shoes.
