Lyonya Shilovsky performs the Galop Infernal from Jacques Offenbach’s Orpheus In The Underworld with the Novosibirsk Symphony Orchestra, then rounds it off with a nifty solo.
Soon he will learn to give the crowd the finger and leave the stage swigging on a bottle of Chivas Regal.

The bank says among those affected are payments to staff at the Department of Justice and Department of Education should be processed tomorrow morning.
It is still working to resolve the problem.
It apologised to any customers affected and said the credits will be in their accounts by first thing tomorrow morning.

Ireland’s Robert Heffernan competing at the European Championships in Barcelona, 2010
Robert finished fourth in both the 20km and 50km walking races at the European Championships in Barcelona in 2010. Russia’s Stanilov Emlyanov won the 20km title but his medal has now been taken off him due to irregularities in his biological passport. Robert will now receive the bronze medal.
Meanwhile, Ian O’Riordan, in the Irish Times, recalls:
Last month, Athletics Ireland began seeking the European Indoor bronze medal now due to Roisín McGettigan after Russia’s Anna Alminova was also banned retrospectively for a doping offence.
Alminova won the 1,500 metres at the European Indoors in Turin back in 2009, with McGettigan finished a close fourth. Alminova was stripped of all performances from February 2009, as well as being handed a 30-month suspension, due to irregularities in her biological passport.
Derval O’Rourke is also due a bronze medal from the 60 metre hurdles at last year’s European Indoors in Gothenburg, after gold medal winner Nevin Yanit from Turkey was also later handed a two-year ban.

This changes everything.
The EU Commission writes:
“There are only a few minutes before your flight check-in closes, or before your train departs, but you now have to spend precious time hunting for a free space at the airport or station car park. Imagine leaving your vehicle at the main entrance and letting the car do the rest on its own. Researchers from Germany, Italy, the UK and Switzerland are working on this, and successful tests took place at Stuttgart airport earlier this year. €5.6 million of EU funding is invested in the system which will be available in the coming years.”
“Drivers will be able to leave their car in front of the car park and use a smartphone app to trigger the parking process. The vehicle will connect with the car park’s server and drive itself to the designated space. While in the garage, the car can also be programmed to go to a charging station. Upon returning, the driver uses the same app to summon the car – fully charged and ready to go.”
