USA, USA, USA!
If you were living under a rock and missed the USA’s match against Algeria yesterday… then you miss something thing truly special. I have loved soccer all of my life and have watched many games but… this… was… the most amazing game ever. USA who face certain elimination from the World Cup without a win, scored in STOPAGE TIME to win the game! With the emotion of a stressful game, missed chances, and two robbed goals… it all made for one magical moment.
Check out THE GOAL!

AMAZING Sand Art
Don’t dare to miss this amazing Video Clip . . but first read the following below.
The images, projected onto a large screen, moved many in the audience to tears and she won the top prize of about $130,000.00
She begins by creating a scene showing a couple sitting holding hands on a bench under a starry sky, but then warplanes appear and the happy scene is obliterated.
It is replaced by a woman’s face crying, but then a baby arrives and the woman smiles again. Once again war returns and Miss Simonova throws the sand into chaos from which a young woman’s face appears.
She quickly becomes an old widow, her face wrinkled and sad, before the image turns into a monument to an Unknown Soldier.
This outdoor scene becomes framed by a window as if the viewer is looking out on the monument from within a house.
In the final scene,a mother and child appear inside and a man standing outside, with his hands pressed against the glass, saying
goodbye.
The Great Patriotic War, as it is called inUkraine , resulted in one in four of the population being killed with eight to 11 million deaths out of a population of 42 million.
Kseniya Simonova says:
This video shows the winner of “Ukraine ’s Got Talent”, Kseniya Simonova, 24, drawing a series of pictures on an illuminated sand table showing how ordinary people were affected by the German invasion during World War II. Her talent, which admittedly is a strange one, is mesmeric to watch

The Great Patriotic War, as it is called in
Kseniya Simonova says:
“I find it difficult enough to create art using paper and pencilsor paintbrushes, but using sand and fingers is beyond me. The art, especially when the war is used as the subject matter, even brings some audience members to tears. And there’s surely no bigger compliment.” Please take time out to see this amazing piece of art.
