It has been a while since I last updated on my wedding preparation. We pretty much didn't do anything during this period. Then suddenly the floodgate opened, we check out three different wedding vendors in one Sunday afternoon - thus the name Super Sunday.
I found out that The Atelier Bridal is having a sale on Singapore Brides on Saturday night, immediately drop them an email and secured the last appointment available at 12:45 pm the next day.
I have been eager to check out The Atelier Bridal since I found out they are bringing in US-label wedding gown. As a bride-to-be who has been heavily bombarded by American wedding industry ( No thanks to Martha Stewart's Wedding, David Tutera and WE channel on Mio TV), of course I am influenced to see them in real person.
The Atelier Bridal is located at Ann Siang Road. Viewing is by appointment only, which is great as I got their full attention and didn't feel rushed or have to try out various gown in front of strangers. I find trying wedding gown is a very personal and intimate experience and having to try them in a small room full of unknown people really takes the charms away; not to mention the pressure from other brides who are waiting for your changing room. The shop is tastefully decorated with 3 panels of full length mirrors for you to look at yourself. The trying experience is one of the better ones I had so far, and comparable to Designer Bridal Room in KL.
There's around 20~30 dress on the rack during my visits. If I remember correctly, the gown ranges from $3,000 ~ $13,000. I tried 4 dresses from Alyne by RIVINI, Carolina Herrera, Marchesa and Amsale. Unfortunately, I didn't get the chance to try Oscar de la Renta. The first 3 dresses are in the range of $5k while the last one by Amsale is $8K.

The bodice of this dress is softer than my expectation. I felt a soft bra pad sewn into the lining, but I was advised to wear a bra while trying the dress. That's interesting. I half-expected that gown at this price point would have a built-in bra and corset, which is the case when I shop at Designer Bridal Room.
On a side note, the construction of bodice is very important for strapless dress. The proper placement of boning creates a beautiful bust line, gives the impression of small waist and most importantly hold the strapless dress in place (so you won't keep pulling your dress up throughout the night). A lot of people thought that the bust holds up a strapless dress, which is not true. A properly constructed strapless dress would have a bodice that keeps the form itself, and secured  by a waist stay that is strong but comfortable.
(Read here and here if you want to find out more about boning, waist stay and their importance for strapless dress)
Left: Bodice constructed with 19 bonings. Middle: Standalone bodice. Right: Waist stay
The third dress is from Marchesa Fall 2013 collection. This dress has no boning or sewn in-bra cup. I don't think it even has a lining. I must say I was pretty shocked when I first tried it on. Even the cheapest wedding gown would have these albeit they most likely will be very low quality. But very soon I realized that this is probably purposely designed this way.
As a result, the upper part of this dress is very thin. Good for hot and humid Singapore. But bad as you can see one underwear easily. It also feels like wearing a swimsuit, where every inch of your curve and lumps will be displayed clearly. Unless you are a super model, you probably need a special underwear with proper corseting that doesn't show through the dress, which I think it is an additional hassle and risk (of not able to get a suitable one).
Nevertheless, it is my favourite dress out of the four I tried. The pattern of the lace is beautiful and the lace itself is very soft and delicate. I love the luxurious amount of organza skirting at the bottom. But Alas, I don't have a super model body so this is out for me.
The final dress is Plaza by Amsale. Tried this dress because the beading on the bodies is beautiful, which is unfortunately not able to captured by photo. However, the cut of the dress just doesn't flatter me, which is weird since I thought a ball gown cut like this should be easy to pull off. I guess these wedding gown created in the west might not fit Asian body type perfectly, thus the dresses I found here doesn't not complement my body type as well as Lusan Mandongus or Annasul Y in Designer Bridal Room.
That's it for my Super Sunday update for now, I will continue with Tirtha Weddings and 1-Altitude in the next post.

The entrance is tastefully decorated with the used of antique-looking chairs and table. It is used as the restaurant reception area.

Staircase connecting the main building and the courtyard.
One thing that irks me about Alkaff Mansion is the feeling of "tentage everywhere". To be fair, there's only 3 addition of tentage: one at the right side of the building, which is partially hidden from sight and used as backup venue for solemnization; one at the left, which is the shelter for the bar; and the last one is the wedding tent that located at the courtyard, which is situated at a lower level away from the main building.
Inside the marquee were some display of vendor's services. Here are some table setting that was setup.
They also have wedding cakes on display, which is rare in Singapore!
The highlight of the show is definitely the bridal fashion show by The Atelier. I have been quite looking forward to this fashion show since I am considering buying a dress. The Atelier is one of the wedding boutique in Singapore that bring in designer wedding dress. Dresses showcased on that day includes collection from Marchesa, Carolina Herrera, Legends by Romona Keveza, Amsale and Alyne by RIVINI. Here are some of my personal favourites.

How to Choose Your Wedding Gown Part 2
Actually there isn't much I want to say about the body type, there are already so much written on this issue. Just pick up any bridal magazine you will bound to find some. Or if you are really clueless, here's an infographic to get you started. There's another fantastic one, but it is too long to paste it. Check it out at my pinterest and follow it if you want to keep updated.
Do you still remember how not long ago (ie. before the royal wedding of Kate Middleton to Price William) that almost every wedding dress you came across is strapless? Strapless is a difficult style to pull off. One must have beautiful neckline, tone upper arm, slender shoulder, decent bust size... the list goes on. Poor brides during that time have to choose either exposing their flabby arms or looks outdated. Thanks to Kate that now sleeves are back in fashion again and save us from all the pressure to tone up our arms. The key point is, fashion can goes against our body shape. And fashion won't last for next 20-30 years but your memory of wedding dress will. So when in conflict, choose one that complements your body, not the fashion, or what your idol wears.
The last point on body shape: buy a dress that looks good on you NOW, not after you lose X pounds or kilograms. Yes, in the ideal scenario we would work hard to loose that additional inches or that fat thighs that have been with her since puberty. Hey, it is still 6 or more months away, isn't it? The bad news is, when you are planning for a wedding, the last (and unnecessary) stress you want is to worry whether you can fit into that dress. And another bad news is, even you work very hard, your body type will probably remains the same - an apple shape is very unlikely to turn into an hour glass. But the good news is, it is always easier to take in a dress than take it out. So buy a dress that fits you NOW, then alter later. Don't buy a dress and hope to fit in it later.
Just a few days ago, it was reported that the median first marriage age for Singapore women rose from 26.3 in year 2002 to 28.0 in year 2012. This is hardly surprising as youngster (man and women alike) are spending more time on their education and wants to establish a career before they start a family.
Although this is an applaudable progress showing girls that taking but is also means that almost half of our brides are going to choose their dress at a more mature age of thirty instead of tender twenty. And if our fashion sense for normal clothes changes according to our age? Why won't the fashion sense for our wedding dress change? (Point to note: the following is just for suggestions, mainly for brides who are thinking of alternatives to full ball gown, layers of tulles, miles of veil and tiara. You can be in your 50's and still get married in full bridal regalia if that pleases you)
Dress for 20's, 30's and 40's. Left: Oscar de la Renta, Middle: Vera Wang, Right: Monique Lhuillier
If you are marrying at sweet twenties (marrying at sweet seventeen will requires parents consent in Singapore), you can pretty much get your dress inspiration from Disney Princess. You can have your full ball gown, long cathedral train, tiara, cathedral veil complete with blusher...  It is basically the bridal ensemble we have imprinted in our mind since young.
Brides marrying at thirties can still pretty much adopt what the twenty-something brides wear, but with more sophistication. You probably don't want a tiara (especially those cute small ones) unless you are related royalty. You probably want to find a tulle ball gown with a modern sophisticated twist on it a la Vera Wang.
At forty-year-old and beyond, the idea of Disney princess should have long passed you. However, not wearing a ball gown with trailing train doesn't means that you can't looks like a bride. You can still look bridal with a sophistically-cut sheath, A-line or mermaid dress, made in luxurious silk satin. You can have a small sweep or fishtail trail.
And be truthful to your body. Unless you are hitting the gym regularly and looks way younger than your age (some movie stars do), you might want to hide your flesh with beautiful lace sleeves and necklines.
Marrying Second Time? Or Third?
Divorce wasn't such a big taboo as it used to be and remarrying is increasingly common. As the society becoming more open, the second wedding can have as much fanfare as the first, or even more! How do one choose her second wedding dress? (Again, suggestion here is just an advice, if you wish to deck up in your full bridal ensemble, that's entirely your choice as the bride)
Veil and blusher will probably not be a good idea given their symbolism. Double think of wearing a white gown, which also symbolizes purity. The good news is pastel and blush gowns are so in vogue now that you can get away looking like a bride without wearing white and looking so chic at the same time.
PS:I got most of these advices from the book "Quest for the Dress: Finding Your Dream Gown Without Losing Your Sanity, Friends or Groom". Unlike typical pictures-filled wedding gown coffee table book, this book is filled of gems from bridal gown designer of 30 over years, Nancy Di Fabbio.

How to Choose Your Wedding Gown Part 1

Before you head out to all the bridal salons you know, or stroll down Tanjong Pagar Road if you are in Singapore, stop yourself, and ask whether you have answers to these questions?
Have you fixed your date and time of your celebration?
If you are based in Singapore, good for you. You don't need to worry about the chill in winter. For those who are more fortunate or unfortunate (depends on which point of view) who stay in temperate climates, the seasons of your wedding is going to determine the fabrics of your dress.Wearing a chiffon dress or even a tulle dress in the middle of winter is going to make you looks out of place, regardless how goddess-like you look in that dress. And the chill is going to make you freeze and it is going to show in the photos. On the other hand, wearing velvet or heavy satin in the middle of summer or tropical countries like Singapore is going to make you and your carefully-applied make up melt.
The time of the celebration is also important. If you are having an evening celebration, get something beaded or crystal-laced, use fabrics with luxurious shine. Or else you will seem under dressed-even you are clad in USD$12,000 Vera Wang Eliza. On the other hand, your bead-encrusted Zuhair Murad gown will makes you looks over-dressed for wedding lunch celebration. Plus, no one will able to see the bling under the bright sunlight which you paid so much for it.
Left: Vera Wang Eliza, one of my favourite from her collection. Right: Zuhair Murad 2011 collections.
Like real-estate, location plays more important role in determining the style of your dress then you would like to admit. Dreamy tulle gown is not going to give you the spotlight you need for ballroom celebration of 300 people. You need shiny satin, crystal, rhinestones... anything that scream bling. You might find it over the top when trying them in the bridal salon, but your photograph will convince you it is a good choice.
If you are having a beach wedding, stay away from train. I once saw a picture of a bride marrying on the beach wearing satin gown with 3 feet long train. It looks out of the place. And sea water, sand and god-knows-what on the beach will irreversibly destroy your dress. Definitely not how you want your dress to end up. Go for long cathedral veil to create the omph instead.
So off I went hunting for dresses.
And luckily I did. After a whole day of bridal gown shopping, I finally found dresses that I can consider them as gowns.
Back to Designer Bridal Room. The service is superb. The patience of the gown consultants are beyond imagination. They let me tried more than ten gowns during my visits and I think we spend a few hours there until their closing hours. And it is not just trying, they provided 2 gown consultants to help out with the dressing. After that they just ask me to think about the dress and bid us goodbye. Not a single hint of hard selling. In fact, I went back the second time and almost bought a dress there (that's before my mum's cancer). But after contemplating for a few hours I decided to say no (as it is not the style of gown I originally wanted, but it is just so beautiful), they just say "It is fine. We don't want you to regret your purchase."
Lusan Mandongus: Elegance in subtle details - lace appliques peeping out underneath layers of soft tulle
My mind now is so fixed with those luxurious fabrics and workmanship that I can take nothing less. It is definitely the place I will go back when I started preparing for my wedding next year. Although there is a few new boutiques in Singapore now selling designer wedding gowns, which I plan to check out soon. But Designer Bridal Room is still on the top of the list. Mr must have damn regretted for persuading me to go there. :D
PPS: The price at Designer Bridal Room is slightly negotiable. How much you can get depends on your bargaining skills. Or you can drop me a private email to find out more. :D

Enchanting Nicholette is the fifth installment from Dawn Crandall‘s The Everstone Chronicles series. I have loved all of the stories of the series, but I believe this one is my favorite. I instantly loved when Cal Hawthorne and Nicholette Everstone first met and enjoyed the instant chemistry between the two.
I give Enchanting Nicholette 5+ stars and I highly recommend it. Readers should not miss Cal and Nicholette’s beautiful story.

Websites With WIX (Pros)

The variety of categories offered on the WIX website speaks volumes regarding the work this company has done to fit certain styles & highlight relevant content. In other words, the web content for a bakery differs from that of a male salon. Hence, the templates should differ as well.
Here are some of the diverse categories and subcategories offered from WIX at the click of a button:
The other strongest pro of working with WIX is the ease of using your original content.
Websites With WIX (CONS)
Here’s my top two cons:

- It’s Still A Website Template

With that said, I want to say that I don't know why Rex bitch-slapped Barry the way he did. Personally I find Barry's comments a welcome reprieve from (some commenters') mindless ano-kissing.

The managers of this major repair project will liaise closely with the Landesdenkmalamt (Berlin Office for Monument Protection). The common goal is to preserve the visual aspect of the building and retain as much of the historical structure as possible..0. The building will reopen a few months after the finalised construction handover has taken place.


It truly was the wedding that we had always dreamed of. The staff were warm, friendly and efficient and made the day run without a hitch. I couldn’t have wished for better managers than Claire and Lynne and felt they were part of our day. I have already recommended St Audries Park to other couples.

As tensions arise amongst the chatter of the corona virus, it might seem a little difficult to remain positive whilst being confined to one’s household. Although, it may seem like a punishment to have to stay home, it is important to remember that it is a luxury to be safe when so many remain at work in order to keep daily life as normal as possible.
Here are five ways to “cope” with the quarantine.
With gyms and fitness centers forced to shut their doors, many have been providing daily workouts to do at home. With that, many personal trainers have online eBooks and have been instructing virtual classes online!
Florida weather has not been disappointing! Put on your walking shoes and go on a stroll– listen to a podcast or even enlist a family member or a friend to join you!
Break out some board games or even pop on your favorite movie! Try to enjoy this time – make some popcorn and even grab your favorite sweet treat.
Now is the perfect time to do all of the “things” you said you’d do when you had more time. Clean out your closet, garage, or car – it is Spring Cleaning after all!
Zoom is a great app that allows for a number of people to connect from across the world. Schedule a time with your closest friends and have a virtual party!
We hope that everyone is safe and we would also like to an extend a very deserving, "Thank You!" to all of the men and woman during their part to help get us through this time!

Registered author(s): AbstractLeast Orthogonal Distance Estimator (LODE) of Simultaneous Equation Models’ structural parameters is based on minimizing the orthogonal distance between Reduced Form (RF) and the Structural Form (SF) parameters. In this work we propose a new version – with respect to Pieraccini and Naccarato (2008) – of Full Information (FI) LODE based on decomposition of a new structure of the variance-covariance matrix using Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) instead of Spectral Decomposition (SD). In this context Total Least Square is applied. A simulation experiment to compare the performances of the new version of FI LODE with respect to Three Stage Least Square (3SLS) and Full Information Maximum Likelihood (FIML) is presented. Finally a comparison between the FI LODE new and old version together with few words of conclusion conclude the paper.

It's been about four years since I last read a Sarah Dessen book. I kind of want to hang my head in shame. Sarah Dessen is oneto reading young adult in the first place. This is another book that I've owned almost since it came out, but I'm only just now getting around to reading. Hopefully I'll manage to get her other newer book as well before her newest comes out next year.
I really did enjoy this book, which is what I was expecting going in. I think the idea of moving to new places and constantly getting to be new people always seems like something people want at a certain period in their lives, but it's not something most people actually get to do. I loved that aspect of the book, and I loved the idea of McLean finally getting kind of ambushed into being herself for the first in in two years. I think that provided a great story about being yourself.
Another favorite aspect of the book for me was McLean's relationship with her mother. I loved that that was part of the story. At the beginning of the book, I really did feel the same frustration with her mother that she did, but as time went on, my feelings towards her changed as McLean's did. I liked seeing that explored.
Then there's Dave. I don't even know where to begin with Dave. Dexter (from This Lullaby) has been my favorite Dessen love interest for a while, but Dave came him a run for his money. I still think Dexter wins if I'm being honest, but Dave probably beat Wes (from The Truth About Forever) out from second place. He was a lot of fun, as were his friends. This book had an all around great cast of characters.
Speaking of Dessen characters, we get cameos from various characters from other Dessen books. Heidi appears briefly as a friend of McLean's mom. Jason also appears throughout the book. Funny thing about that is, I hated Jason in the other two Dessen books he appeared in (it was just two, right?), but he grew on me in here. I think that's because he finally seems to have matured, so I was happy to finally see him being a like-able person. The funnest cameo though came from Annabel and Owen. Their names aren't even mentioned, but they're sitting on the wall when McLean sits down at lunch on her first day. Just Listen was my first Dessen novel, so I have a huge soft-spot for Annabel and Owen. (They're basically my favorite Dessen couple even if they're not actually my favorite Dessen couple.) I loved having them thrown in there even really briefly.
I think those who enjoy Sarah Dessen's other books will enjoy this one as well. I know the romance usually gets emphasized in her books, but for me, the story of McLean discovering who she is, finally making friends as herself, and repairing her relationship with her mom were really what this book was all about. Dave was just a really nice bonus to the story.

Morgan Larson is an inspirational student! With help and encouragement from her family and fellow students, what she calls the 60010 Feeds Kids Team, Morgan has carried out herhe last four years. She started her extraordinary goal in the 8th grade, raising funds all year to hold a meal packing event at Station Middle School. She has kept up this goal leading up to her senior year inviting other students, businesses, and individuals to join in making an impact.
This year’s event was postponed by COVID in April but as soon as Morgan heard about Serv@Home she eagerly began planning the mobile meal packing option. A month later, 30 families engaged in a curbside meal packing kit pick-up at Barrington High School. The families and volunteers truly demonstrated a heart to serve cannot be stopped as a torrential downpour rained on the parade of cars picking up supplies. 72K meals were packed over the weekend…making a significant difference now more than ever.

George “Mason” Thomson ’16 is studying law at the University of Virginia. In addition to pursuing his newly acquired passion for the study of torts, Mason recently passed a test to become a Certified Application Counselor. He can now help the Charlottesvill through the Legal Aid Justice Center during open enrollment. Mason also reports that, despite the heavy workload, UVA is known for being a “fun” law school. He is currently a first baseman on his section’s softball team, to give one example of the fun to be had between bouts of study and volunteer work. At Lafayette, Mason completed an honors thesis in History and German under the direction of Bob Weiner, Margarete Lamb- Faffelberger, and DC Jackson, on the topic of German repatriation after the defeat in World War II. He says that “Identifying, understanding, and empathizing with different perspectives during my study of history has been invaluable for my experience at law school, there is no shortage of arguments to be read, and the skills I obtained in undergrad help me effectively synthesize these debates as I prepare for my exams.”


Hillel’s statement can be understood on multiple levels.
Rav Chaim Volozhin2 understood Hillel’s statement as reminding us of our dependence on others. Though responsible for and able to accomplish much ourselves, we need others to help us maximize our potential. Rav Chaim focuses on our needing Hashem’s help in everything we do. In addition to Hashem’s help, we also need that of those around us.
The Midrash Shmuel understands that Hillel encourages us to think beyond ourselves. Our responsibility for ourselves should not cause us to think that we should care only about ourselves. If our lives are focused only on ourselves, “what are we?” A person whose life begins and ends with himself is of little significance.
People often see their care for others as a value that conflicts (or at least competes) with care for themselves. Rav Shimon explains that, in truth, they complement each other.
The Baal HaTanya5 uses a similar idea to explain Hillel’s response to the convert:; this is the whole Torah.”6 As important as this idea is, we still wonder how Hillel could present it as the entirety of the Torah?
The Baal HaTanya explains that the ability to care for others on the same level we care for ourselves hinges on focusing upon our spiritual, as opposed to physical, existence. On the physical level human beings are separate, independent entities. On the spiritual, soul level, though, we are all part of a larger whole. Because the Torah ultimately aims to focus us on the spiritual, caring about others as we do ourselves can be viewed as the core of the entire Torah.
The Sefat Emet brings the two sides of our mishnah together by summarizing that on the one hand, it is crucial that we appreciate that we are each unique, important and responsible for our own growth and success. On the other hand, we need to see ourselves as part of the broader picture of klal Yisrael and of Hashem’s full creation.
1 Avot 1:14.
2 Ruach Chayim, Avot 1:14. See also Talmud Bavli, Nidah 70a.
3 Sha’arei Yosher, Introduction.
4 Rav Shimon describes two levels of existential inclusivity. All Jews should see their existence as inclusive of the entire Jewish people. The “complete” person sees their existence as inclusive of all of humanity.
We can use this idea to explain another statement of Hillel. The Gemara (Sukkah 53) tells us that, when at the Simchat Beit Hasho’eivah, Hillel would exclaim: “If I am here, everything is here.” What did he mean by that surprising statement? Along these lines, he may have been saying that because he saw himself as inextricably linked to all of Hashem’s creations, his presence anywhere meant that all of creation was there as well.

Join Diane Cooper, from Surrey County Council’s Countryside team and Helen Cocker from Lower Mole Partnership to explore a part of the Thames Down Link from Ashtead station to Box Hill & Westhumble station. Take the 8 minute train ride back at the end of the day to Ashtead station.
The 15 mile Thames Down Link long distance trail runs from the Thames at Kingston to meet the North Downs Way at Westhumble, hence the route name. We will walk slightly more than 6 miles of this, which will take 3 hours plus and is longer than our usual free Sunday walks.
Meet us at Ashtead station, Woodfield Lane, KT21 2DR at 10.30am for a prompt 11am start. There is free roadside parking on Woodfield Lane as well as a large station car park, charge is £2.15 per day on a Sunday.
From Ashtead station we will walk towards Ashtead Park Local Nature Reserve, where we will join the Thames Down Link (TDL).  The first part of the TDL goes through this lovely public open space and is easy-going and flat.  The second longer section of the route from Stane Street is more rural with rugged terrain and some hilly parts. This will be slippery and muddy if the weather has been wet. There are no stiles, but some road crossings. Appropriate footwear is essential and a certain level of fitness is required to cope with this section of the walk.  We will stop for a brief break only, but there will be an option to stop for a drink at the Stepping Stones Pub at the end of the walk. We will catch a train back to Ashtead from Box Hill & Westhumble Station. Trains leave at 10 minutes past the hour on a Sunday and cost £3.60.
You can see the route by clicking here, from where you can view the route on Google maps or the latest edition of the Ordnance Survey Map no. 146.

Sports Home Cricket News I will be back promises Irfan Pathan
Irfan Pathan was in the middle of his comeback when a knee injury laid him low again, allowing a batch of young pace bowlers to move ahead of him in the pecking order. He hasn't lost hope, though. When Wisden India caught up with him at the National Cricket Academy in Bangalore, Pathan exuded the confidence that greater things are in store for him including, possibly, a place in the Indian Test team. Excerpts:
It must have been a disappointing season for you - you have been out of circulation since hitting that century in the first Ranji Trophy match for Baroda?
Is it that as you get older, you realise there is more to life than just cricket, unlike when you're 20-22 and feel that the world is against you?
Yes, but cricket is always very, very important to me. Even when I am 40 or 45 years old, cricket will be very close to me. But you're right, nothing comes close to my family, my parents ... building a new house, that feeling of moving in, getting my mother's health back on track - those give me great satisfaction.
It can't be easy to do that ...
In any case, when you are playing domestic cricket for Baroda, your brother (Yusuf) is always around.
This time it was the knee, but you have had quite a few setbacks over the years - both in terms of form as well as injuries.
In terms of returning to the Test team, I think it's been delayed, not hampered. I am pretty sure I am going to make a comeback soon in Test matches. In one-dayers, I was feeling very confident and comfortable. I had settled into the dressing room. The team was also getting used to me - Duncan (Fletcher) and the rest of the support staff. So I did feel a part of the team. But I will come back. There is a lot of cricket this season, so I think I can ease back.
Next up is the limited-overs leg of the Ranji Trophy and then the Indian Premier League. Are you in shape to be a part of them?
It's because I wanted to be a part of these tournaments that I took so much time off and trained at the National Cricket Academy. It's good that I will start with one-day matches and not four-day games. The idea is, of course, to make myself fit and available for selection in the Test matches. I haven't played Test matches for four years now. It's been a long time. So it will be good if I can make it. If I don't, then there is the IPL, the Champions Trophy, some other tours ... lots of cricket coming up. I should be 100% when I do return.
At 28, do you feel that a lot of younger bowlers have moved past you and you could have achieved more?
Not at all. In terms of achieving my goals ... I wanted to be among the top ten wicket-takers in one-dayers in India. I am in eighth place in that list. Batting-wise, I am in 26th place in terms of runs scored. I am among the top 20 wicket-takers for India in Tests too.
(Laughs) No, no, not at all. But I have had so much free time these last few days. I checked very recently. But yes, I would have liked to do more. I lost out on very important years of my cricket - both because of lack of performance and injuries. I had to start afresh. That has had an impact. But I am satisfied with where I have reached. I will do more though.
But what exactly went wrong? Why weren't you able to do what you could do so easily at the start of your career?
You know, I won't tell you the exact thing, but it will surprise you to know who helped me the most to rediscover my strengths - Yusuf, and Rashid Patel, the former India seamer. They agreed on what my problem was ... it was a very small thing, but it helped a lot.
You know, the media and everyone else keeps asking 'what happened to Irfan' and 'why is he not doing well', but eventually you learn to calm down. I used to get excited about those comments earlier, but now I realise that whatever is destined for me will happen. I can only stay fit, watch the diet - I don't drink or smoke - and train properly. Good times are just around the corner.

Duncan was t for the last half of 1987 and Minister for Employment and Education Services for over three years from 1988 to 1990. After leaving the ministry in 1990, he becamin December 1991, a post he held until Labor lost office.[1]
Duncan had a business career after politics, which became a source of controversy when he was charged in September 2007 with 'making an untrue statement in application for a Commonwealth grant and with dishonestly causing loss to a Commonwealth entity'.[2] It was reported that this had occurred in the wake of the failure of his plastics recycling business Omnipol.[3] He was subsequently ordered to stand trial on three counts in the South Australian District Court.[4] Duncan went on trial on 3 November 2008, pleading not guilty.[5] On 11 November, he was acquitted on all charges.[6]

Sakho out for up to eight weeks with thigh injury
3 Dec 2015	6 Views 0 Comments
Sakho limped out of the 1-1 draw at home to West Brom last Sunday with what the London club described as a “significant injury to his left thigh”.
And speaking in a media conference ahead of the away game against Manchester United this Saturday, West Ham manager Slaven Bilic said: “Diafra Sakho, we are still waiting for the results of his sca – four to eight, maybe longer Of course it’s a big blow. We are not bad in terms of quantity of injuries, but unfortunately they have happened to key players.”– including Enner Valencia – can fill the void.
Bilic added: “Es’ time. It’s a good chance for the guys to step in.”


The question you may ask yourself is, which platform do I use?Which one is better, or which one is right for me?

Definitions for "Line Conditioner"
A device which automatically corrects, cleans, and filters electrical current thus removing spikes, surges, and noise before they reach your components.
A device connected into the electrical power supply that provides voltage regulation for sags and swells. Can also reduce electrical noise. Also known as power conditioner.
A circuit or device designed to improve the quality of an AC line.
Any device with a primary function to condition the quality of commercial power received by a load. This term is not applied uniformly among power protection manufacturers. A Tripp Lite line conditioner employs the use of a tap-switching voltage regulator. Other companies refer to surge suppression products with active filtering as line conditioners, while still others refer to their isolation transformer products as line conditioners. Others could theoretically refer to UPS systems as line conditioners as well. When fielding a request for a "line conditioner," it's critical to learn what that customer is specifically looking to accomplish (surge protection alone, voltage regulation, line isolation or battery backup).
Device that regulates electrical power.
A is not always a UPS.

For several of the years I walked to elementary school, a very thin, tall-seeming woman in starched black uniform and military-structured white hat, orange neon belt, and disconcerting sunglasses walked to the intersection by my house to hold out white-gloved hands and say to the kids coming over across the field and from the other side of my street, "Cruss." It was really the "oo" as in "crook": "Cruss," she would say, and the few words she might add, "Get bahck" or "vait dere until I say" were inflected in what I later learned was German. I made fun of this, practiced making my voice like hers. She was terrifying. Gossip swirled, her origins becoming the stuff of myth. I think now that when she was a little girl in Germany, she never imagined herself at a suburban intersection in Virginia guiding kids across the street en route to school, and yet there she was.
This post is really about why so many people hate going to school. Shakespeare knew it, said it in his "Seven Ages of Man" ("All the world's a stage") speech growled by Jaques in As You Like It, as the second age, after infancy:
/ And shining morning face, creeping like snail
/ Unwillingly to school.
The trouble with school, of course, is that it's an institution. After a while, Ideas often become Institutions, so whether it's school or a corporation or a Republic or a Communist State, at some point we humans cease to remember the founding principles and begin instead to feed the Beast that is the Institution.
I was reading this morning a review of an American Masters documentary about Woody Allen, who when walking past P.S. 99 (in New York, public schools have numbers) said, "I still think of it as a curse." I had a student in my first year who told me the story of his mom taking him to kindergarten that first day, and when she picked him up asked him, "Well, how was it?" and he said, "Okay," and she asked if he had anything he needed to do for tomorrow. He paused, looked at her. "I have to go BACK?" He hated school for the rest of his life.
· The first are the Arts and Sciences Geniuses, those kids who are ready to observe, make experiments, listen, play, discover, much of it involving initial daydreaming time, and none of it wasted.
· The second are the Mechanical Geniuses, those kids who have a gift for building, making, fixing, planting stuff, and who want to get their hands dirty doing it.
· A third group—who may well also belong in the first two (or a fourth one, below)—are the kids who are physically, mentally, or emotionally "outside" the "norm," who, whatever their talents or energies, stand apart and are visibly "other."
School, as it is currently institutionalized, sucks for them.
A fourth group, Everybody Else, contains the people like me, in the hump of the bell curve, who get fairly solid B's and C's and really are pretty happy to be institutionalized. We just go with it. We don't stand out much. We are straight, or know how to fake it, even to ourselves. We like learning things, would never have the imagination to find this stuff out on our own, and for the most part enjoy our exposure to new people, literature, writing lessons, science, math, history, and even the standing broad jump challenge in P.E.
As the years go on, around 7th grade say, we in this fourth group may start to realize how weird we actually are, how much we are not really "of" the institution at all, and we find this out because we meet someone who says what we've always been thinking but had not articulated, someone who trains an imaginative lens, or a cynical eye, or an amused twinkle onto a typical school situation, and we look in their mirror and find ourselves. Possibly our own inner soul inspired this new friend to brave the observation. Then the institution loses its grip, in a good way.
What do you remember most about school? As an exercise before reading the rest of this post, write the first five memories—images, assignments, people—that come into your head. Don't judge them or censor them (no one will see it), and set it aside.
Take your time. I'll hum.
4. Cindy Sears, tall and gangly and large-toothed, merry-eyed and energetic, walking up to Miss Covington's desk to do a 4-count burpee as penance for saying "Okay" as a verbal filler, a tic repeated a half dozen times in any sentence, and agreeing to this exercise in self-improvement, and how I deeply admired her spirit for it.
5. This very nice woman, a young, sun-weathered jock of a gal—it's her face I see, very pleasant—who taught us square-dancing in the Multipurpose Room when I was in fifth grade, and the smell of old tater tots and sour milk enveloping me as the tinny fiddle sounds came from the record player, a man's voice commanding us to allemande right and left—her encouraging face against the light of the high windows.
Analysis: What I See in My List: It's what I don't see in my list. There's nothing here about reading. I can say with complete honesty that I remember absolutely nothing I read in school until I read "The Lady, or the Tiger?" in Mr. Rampley's 9th grade English class. There's nothing about math, science, history; no big concepts or giant breakthroughs; not even the playground. And yet all the listed memories as well as the unlisted ones are part of life experiences that helped to make me a teacher, actor, director, writer, editor; to live in the country in Virginia and in the wilds of New York City; to study Virginia Woolf at Oxford and perform comedy at the People's Improvisational Theater on E. 24th Street. Plenty of people who were part of the same institutions as I was took entirely different paths, will remember totally different things, and yet we are all part of the same story.
Aside: None of my memories appeared in the form of a multiple-choice question.
All this said, Woody Allen the Artist turned out pretty well. It's hard to imagine him becoming an even better filmmaker, whether or not his art is to your taste. Most of us turn out pretty well, my evidence for this being how well the vast, vast majority of 10 million people behaves in the New York subway system on a daily basis.
There is unhappiness, disappointment, and a feeling of profound confusion and worthlessness among many of us, even as we get up, shave and shower, make coffee, and remember to mail the goddamned bills. Can better schools preempt this?
So perhaps another question to ask about your own school life is this: What lessons, teachers, encounters, experiments, or academic moments can you point to, directly, and say, "Because of that, I am X"? What would you have wanted more of? Why?
Part 1 of this exercise: Before you or I spend one more ounce of brain energy and heart-squashing rage on the institution that is school, Miss O' asks that you expound on your political views of education as an institution. What do you believe? Write a tract. Why do you believe as you do?
Part 2 of this exercise involves reflecting on your own education: From the playground to the music room, from subject to subject, classroom to classroom, teacher to teacher, over all the years you attended, what do you remember? What stuck? Give yourself several days and pieces of paper to jot notes. It takes time. Write a while and then go back to whatever you were doing. It's amazing what a short walk to a new task will do to jog a memory.
Part 3 involves doing a bit of geometry: First, reread Part 1. Then reread Part 2. Now: How do you see your experiences leading to or informing your beliefs? Then turn out a theorem on What Education Should Be. If school could be whatever you had wanted, how would it work? What would it be?
A Guideline: Miss O' is asking you to use your own experiences, and she knows that for readers out there with children this may be impossible, since much of your view is now clouded by the experiences that your child(ren) appears to be having. I say "appears" because, well, look what I remember about school. You'd think with my B's and occasional A's that I was more academically minded than I really was.
To close, one more memory: I am in a skirt and knee socks, hair in pigtails, standing on the school loading dock (old bread smell, overcast skies, white light) during recess in 5th grade and telling my best friend at the time, Lori German, "I hate your guts."
SEND ME YOUR VIEWS
If you care to, send me a 100-word or so "Statement of School Belief" in the Comments of this Blog Post. I would love to read them, and I am challenging you to summarize.
Until next time, when we hear Miss O' say, "Don't go the direction I say, go where my hand goes."
BONUS TRACK: "The Seven Ages of Man" by William Shakespeare, As You Like It

William Thackery, "
Tthe dew on the top of a leaf."
I think it's fair to say that I have lived by these lines since I first wrote them down during my freshman year of high school, on papers I taped into the front of the three-ringed binder I would use all four years, adding many lines from my first literary muse, Oscar Wilde, whom I learned about when I watched the 11-part Masterpiece Theater series, Lillie, about the life of Victorian actress and Wilde muse, Lillie Langtry. (Eat that, Run-On Sentence Police!)
Being drawn to quotations is by most accounts I've read a characteristic of eccentric people. The people who hoard quotations the way others hoard seashells, or Singer sewing machines that don't work, or carnival glass, are easy to spot by the way they reach for paper napkins in the restaurant to write down what someone next to them said. Not that I'd know from experience.
In my first years of teaching (at my first school), I challenged myself every day to come up with an apt quotation each morning and put it on the board—first on this square chalkboard on the left side of my (actual own) classroom by the bulletin board. (I later began collecting these quotes in The Good Book, added to lovingly by students, friends, colleagues, and my own discoveries all the years of my teaching life.) This room was "my" classroom only for that first year, when the principal recognized that as I 1) was a first-year teacher; 2) was a teacher with three preps; and 3) had two classes of students who had most all failed English 9 the previous years (that's right, plural), maybe I could have a room of my own. The room of my own evaporated after that first year, and for the next two years (and for the first five at my next school), I changed rooms every single period, moving from downstairs, to upstairs, to across the courtyard, and back upstairs down the hall, giant canvas tote bag in tow (thanks, L.L. Bean!).
As I'd become "that crazy woman who writes quotes on her board," I felt okay going around the school each morning (with the permission of the classroom owners) to put my thought for the day in a corner of each chalkboard, thereby increasing my audience substantially. The eccentrics, therefore, crept out in greater numbers, too: There were at least three types: 1) the kids who'd casually take out their notebooks, as if exhausted or annoyed, and copy the quote; 2) the ones who'd read it, comment out loud, and may or may not copy it, but wanted to talk about it; and 3) the quiet, confident little scribes, who'd happily admit to saving them up like green stamps they'd get to cash in for a big prize.
How's your relationship with your muse? Don't tell me that you're not an artist so you don't h? I say it''t have a muse, I urge you to go out in quest of new candidates. (P.S. A muse isn't necessarily a person; he or she might also be an animal, an ancestor, a spirit, or a hero.)
From The Soul of Man Under Socialism:
· T· --OSCAR WILDE, The Soul of Man Under Socialism
WHAT OSCAR MEANT TO ME
He was a philosopher, dandy, wit, man of the theater, and also a socially conscious being with a huge heart for the ills of the world. People know Oscar Wilde's funny lines—," mostly from his plays and his one novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray—but the essays quoted above show a sober, reasonable citizen who while an artist first, was going after social questions (with love and with the soul of an artist). Wilde made me expand my world view (art is a political act, and isn't that a burden), and also made me aware of how the burden of political knowledge prevented me from pursing my theater arts life in full—the desire to be of use in a social contract sense took over (the opposite of what he intended). I have had more than a few friends think less of me for being politically noisy. Claire Booth Luces," and I often worry she was right.
· WhenVirginia Woolf wrote as I actually thought. Reading her novels; her diaries; her criticism: Virginia Woolf's words took paths that were a map of my own mind, if my mind had been capable of articulating and recording and depicting and expressing as brilliantly as her able, wild, imaginative mind had. Reading her was a relief, and a terror. The greatness of her empathy that was almost unbearable in my relative youth is a solace in my middle age.
Both were bisexual, both in the acting out of physical love and in their ability to get inside the heads of male and female characters. This is no small thing, I see now. Both were not only creative novelists and playwrights (he wrote mostly plays and stories, and only one novel; she wrote mostly novels and stories, and only one play), they were literary and social critics of the first order. They took their roles as geniuses seriously. They did not take themselves seriously. (Until they did, at the end.) Oscar Wilde used the past (as a Pre-Raphaelite) to show an unflattering mirror to the present (Victorian) age. Virginia Woolf, born only 13 years before Oscar's ruin, sloughed off the Victorians, ever looking ahead and helping to create modernism. Yet both were of their times, loved their countries, loved life. Both were social snobs, living the paradox of caring about the poor and uneducated, truly, while being unable to co-exist comfortably with them, indeed, while disdaining them. Both were the victims and agents of their own tragic ends—he for bringing about the lawsuit that exposed his illegal homosexuality, leading to his imprisonment and destroyed health, dying at 46; she—living through yet a second world war, losing her London home to a bomb, married to a Jew and therefore both on Hitler's blacklist, and a return of the "voices" and depression that she felt sure would hold everyone back from escaping England should an invasion occur—took her own life by drowning at 59. And still, they created so much, shared so much, lived so fully, in spite of it all.
While having no claim to genius or to the drama of these life stories, I do own that Oscar and Virginia give solace even to the lesser being. As an actor and director, as well as a writer, I have had to transform into genders that are not always easy to define as male and female. Oscar's characters are virtually interchangeable in the play The Importance of Being Earnest. Virginia's novel Orlando daringly grabbed the notion of gender and upended it to spoof not only biographers (it's a fake biography), but also property laws that excluded women from inheriting (this done for her friend Vita Sackville-West, who lost Knole, bequest of Queen Elizabeth I to her ancestor, because while she cared for it, cherished it, honored it, she was a girl, so the property went to a lazy, disinterested cousin, Edward, and eventually to the National Trust.) Both writers were and remain dazzling wits, Virginia shining not with the epigramic brilliance of Oscar, but with a slyness that penetrates to the heart more deeply.
The artist must be of her time and aware of her time if she is to be an artist. And yet politics always threaten to drown the art.
Oscar Wilde is one of my closest friends. Biographies of him were cruel and nauseating (I'd read two in high school) until Richard Ellmann's appeared in 1987, rescuing Wilde from the black muck of the haters and scorners, to have his genius restored and placed up front. It's his own words—his art—that matter, after all.
I think this is natural to do, when one is naturally solitary. And yet one must not live in this solitude. Oscar and Virginia are friends with whom I commune, and are not to be made substitutes for actual living.
A LITTLE CODA
Recently I came across this quote. I've read nearly everything VW ever wrote, from essays to diaries to novels to criticism, and never in my life would I imagine her saying, let alone writing, this:
As it turns out she didn't. Someone else queried the same thing, I learned, when I searched around and found a site called Quote Investigator—and while versions of it have been said by various artists for years, and even Woolf writes of losing her "virtue" by taking some writing jobs— that quote is so not my Virginia, and this attribution to her is a fairly recent mistake.
"A poet can suffer anything except a misprint." —Oscar Wilde
What is it about quotations that has fascinated and continues to send us off searching the Google and the Bartlett's? Quotations are companions, I think, for lonely people, or for moments when people feel alone. I was very much lonely in my youth, as are a lot of creative people, in that there are so few people we can actually share our thoughts with when we are young and our minds so wild and unwieldy and, well, terrifying. So until we meet our friends out in the world (our true friends), a kindred thinker's words—and they were safe, Oscar and Virginia, because they were famous and revered, and, I later learned, controversial and complicated, and so much the better for me—can be a life-sustaining gift, wrapped up in tidy quotation marks, easily stored in the mind.
"Forget about quotations. Tell me what you know." --Emerson

Goya and the Inquisition
Capricho No. 23
The Inquisition had been called into being by the Church during the Middle Ages, to pursue heretics and to maintain the purity of Catholic belief. Over the centuries, the Inquisition, the so-called Holy Office, held sway in Spain and other parts of Europe. Even the slightest suspicion of heresy or sin could mean someone being delivered up to the Inquisition, particularly as believers had the duty of denunciation, under threat of the everlasting torments of Hell. Those accused of witchcraft were forced to "confess" through torture, and burning at the stake was the inescapable punishment. In Goya's time, the despotism of the Inquisition was already more subdued - the last time a witch was burned in Spain was in 1781. However, heretics and critics of the Church were still threatened with exile, disgrace, and confiscation of property. There was strict censorship, particularly of the literature of the Enlightenment-banned books and caricatures. even the possession of them, was strictly prohibited. Goya went through the humiliating performance of an Inquisitorial trial several times. These autos-da-fe took place in public, in the presence of spiritual and lay dignitaries. No spokesman for the defense was permitted; the aim of these arbitrary courts was humiliation and a public admission of guilt from the accused. The latter had to wear the sambenito, the heretic's robe, and the coroza, a high, pointed penitent's hat. Many thinkers of the Enlightenment were cited before this spiritual court, among them some of Goya's friends; they were not, however, arraigned before the court because it was decided - after Charles IV and Manuel Godoy used their influence to support them - that there was a "lack of evidence." In 1797,Goya himself was obliged to withdraw his Caprichos from sale because he feared the unwelcome attentions of the Inquisition. On one of the prints he had depicted the humiliation of an accused person in the typical robe of shame. The seemingly ambiguous caption This dust is a reference to the trivial grounds for prosecution. Contemporary observers would be able to add to these words the rest of a well-known proverb," From this dust, what a morass we have," which means something like "To make a mountain out of a molehill." During the French occupation, the religious court was abolished, but in 1814 it was reinstated under Ferdinand VII.

Marketing today occupies an interesting role within the corporation. It is required to drive awareness and demand, create new opportunities for sales to interact with customers, develop relevant messagi, and provide fully qualified leads for sales. It’s also responsible for contributing to revenue.
Marketing also continues to fragment into more areas of ‘specialization,'uple these new areas of specialty with the multiple other marketing areas of responsibility, such as product marketing, marcom, and field marketing, and you have a sure-fire recipe for disaster. Or at least a guaranteed way for marketing to be seen as irrelevant and ineffective.
Most marketing departments are also stretched to the breaking point, trying to do too much with too little in too little time, all while trying to convince senior executives that they are still relevant to the business. Let’s face it, how many marketing departments do you know that are overflowing with budget, resources, and headcount?
It’s no wonder that marketers around the world are pulling their collective hair out – they’re doing so many things simultaneously that it’s hard to keep track of what their primary focus should be.

When families arrange a trip to Egypt, they always think about their children and what type of entertaining things they might do in the land of the pharaohs, where seniors are certain to have a good time!
In Egypt, there are many enjoyable locations for kids, particularly in Cairo, where there are several amusement parks and aqua parks.
Giza Zoo is a fantastic destination for children since it is large, safe, and green, allowing them to run around freely while observing animals and birds.
Cinema studios in Cairo are undoubtedly one of the locations you should consider taking your children because they provide a variety of activities and live performances.
A trip to one of Cairo’s large supermarkets is an excellent option since most of them include a beautiful, safe indoor park for the kids, and the same is true of the city’s large shopping malls.
This does not mean that your children will have a good time only in Cairo; there are amusement parks in all of the major cities, and so-called “animation teams” (also known as “entertainment teams”) can be found in all of the hotels in Hurghada and Sharm El-Sheikh on the Red Sea, and these teams always run a variety of fun activities geared toward children. You’ve been thinking about locations to add to your list on a regular basis, and in addition to the swimming pool as a wonderful source of entertainment for kids, all of the children’s activities are carried out in the large swimming pools found in all of Hurghada’s and Sheikh Al-Sheikh hotels.
On the other hand, when exploring the little cities “if it is in your plan,” your children will be in the company of other Egyptian youngsters, and they will undoubtedly have a great time.
The Pharaonic village should be included in your list of entertaining sites to see in Egypt as a summary of your vacation and also as excellent entertainment for the kids. It’s a large island in Cairo on the Nile, encircled by towering trees that obscure the view of contemporary life. People inside are impersonating pharaohs and reenacting Egypt’s past. Growing crops, building boats, and baskets, fishing using pharaohs’ old skills, sculpting statuary, mummifying corpse replicas, producing ceramics and perfume, and making Papyrus and linen. All of this is only a sample of what you and your children will see on an interior boat ride. In the tiny village, there are five museums, as well as a recreation of King Tut’s tomb and Karnak temples.
There is also a wonderful shopping center in the hamlet with all of the Egyptian items, such as papyrus, fragrances, leather products, Egyptian key chains, necklaces, rings, and book notes for kids, Egyptian tattoos, and your children’s names inscribed in hieroglyphic. A lovely open-air coffee shop and a garden with two restaurants, one for quick food and the other for meals, are also available.


How to Shoot an Interview
Published Tue, Mar 14 2023 10:57 AM EDT | Updated: 2 weeks ago
NBC News chief photographer Mike Simon teaches basic elements of a two-camera interview – camera placement, light and sound.
Simon, who has been shooting with NBC News since 1993, has traveled to 143 countries and has shot countless interviews of world leaders, celebrities and NBC News journalists. Watch the video above to learn his tips about photography, and learn more below. Comments have been edited for brevity.
“It’s important to learn how to shoot an interview because people have a lot of television that they can watch. And if it doesn’t look good, they’re going to go someplace else. People are not going to watch a badly lit interview,” Simon said.
Every locaBe aware of overhead ln’t shoot into a window, but you can use the light from a window.
Think about finding backgrounds that create texture and depth, and if seated, arrange the chairs accordingly.
Typically, we shoot with a narrow depth of field behind the person that’s being interviewed. Try to roll it out of focus just a little bit so that the interviewee pops out. The background will be blurry, but try to get some light on the background to accentuate the background if possible.
Place the cameras
When I shoot an interview, one camera has a tight shot and one has a wide shot that includes the reporter. Sometimes the reporters want you to bring it around, so that they have an over-the-shoulder shot of them.
There’s a 180-degree rule, also known as “don’t cross the axis.” On camera, you want your interviewee and your interviewer looking like they’re looking at each other. If you cross the axis, they’ll be looking the same direction, and not at each other.
Imagine a line between your interviewer and your interviewee. Make sure all cameras are on one side of that line. This will make sure that in the edit, the two people are framed in such a way that they appear to be looking at each other.
Lighting is an art form, and making people look good doesn’t come naturally. To appreciate good light, you also have to have a certain amount of darkness in every shot. So if you can turn off fluorescent lights, kill the outside light that’s coming in and somehow create some sense of contrast in a picture, that will help your lighting a lot.
Sometimes it’s efficient and quick to use available light and only accentuate the existing. You don’t want fluorescent light that’s coming from over the top. Turn that light off if you can because it creates very bad shadows. Many people have deep-set eyes, which create shadows down their face. It’s better to have your own light on the person you’re interviewing.
Everybody always asks: How long is it going to take to light an interview? I always tell them it takes as long as the time that you’re going to give me. If we’re given 20 minutes, it’s going to take 20 minutes to light. If we’re given two hours, it’s going to take two hours. We’re waiting until the last second, and sometimes even beyond that.
Don’t forget to white balance!
Audio is super important. I’ve had bad audio sink me much quicker than blue video. When you have good audio, you’ll have good video. Make sure you’re listening to what’s coming into your camera.
Just as with lighting, audio offers different tools for different purposes. For an interview, always put a lavalier microphone on your interviewee. A shotgun microphone on your camera that is 4 feet away will sound hollow. Get the mic as close to the person that is speaking as you can.

Kutná Hora, one of most important towns, from Czech historical point of view, is distant in one hour car drive from Prague. In the suburbs, a Monastery of Cistercian Order is to be found. The chapel inside is very attractive temptation for tourists, as its decoration is made with human bones.The ossuary chapel was originally founded as central cimitery building. Nevertheless, a conformity chance made such place from most interesting arguments of one section of Bohemian history. In 1278, the abbot of local monastery was sent to Jerusalem, to bring there a message of King Přemysl Ottokar II. The abbot took back handful of clay from Calvary, a place where Jesus Christ was crucified, and dispersed it it Kutná Hora cemetery. Within short time period, the cemetery got a fame of holy place, where the body rests of not only Kutná Hora citizens but also earthly remains from distant regions, (from all parts of Europe), especially from Bavaria, Poland or Belgium, were put to their „eternal sleep“. Anyway, the story of ossuary itself is joined, first of all, with another event of Bohemian history: The shocks of plague-disease, which attacked Bohemia at the beginning of 13th century, had, as a consequence, more than 30 000 victims. All such victims were buried on local cemetery. Nevertheless, Hussite wars (one hundred years later) brought main impulse for putting of body-rests into a chapel. At that time period, the monastery burnt out. All Saints´ Chapel, constructed on basement of perished church just existed. Its crypt was formed with ossuary, and it begun to be filled in with body-rests, as a consequence of Hussite wars in this region. In general, the earthly remains of 40 000 victims of Hussite wars are put there. This chapel, formed in unique Baroque-Gothic style, bears the decoration writing of an important architect Jan Blažej Santini Aichl. The skulls and bones, all objects of such type, got the chance to be used as an artistic elements. So, such decoration creates gloomy and mystic atmosphere of this frequently visited locality. A moment, when the monastery was closed (in 1784 - by a decree of Emperor Joseph II.) was another important event in a history of the locality. The whole property was taken over by Schwarzenberg Parentage, Orlík Branch. The works on decoration arrangement of the ossuary were placed to Frank Rint, wood-carver. This person took charge of this task in very radical way. He dipped (together with all members of his family) thousands of bones into chloride of lime. The objects undergone whiten and disinfection process at the same time. From originally six pyramides, he cancelled four, and the bones were used for another way of decoration. These works engaged him for three years.
The biggest interest from Rint´s works allures, no doubt, remarkable and, in some part, even morbid, chandelier, placed in ossuary centre, assorted from various bones and skulls. Below, on pavement, you can see the entrance into subterranean tomb, where several important Kutná Hora citizens were buried. In front of one from total four bone pyramides, you can admire another Rint´s work, i.e. Schwarzenberg escutcheon, created also from eartly remains. So, the ossuary became a joint tomb for several thousands of persons. Nevertheless, this unique work is not self-appropriate. The crypt is not only as a body-rest place but it serves as a testimony of passed times, emphasized, first of all, with meeting of life with death. No doubt, each visitor would realize a fact of death-existence and an eternity value. Such bones-arrangement in geometrical way could lead all visitor to pensiveness of our lives, leading us towards mutual harmony and staunchness of our own responsibilty, regarding our own or other lives.
At present, the ossuary forms a part of Kutná Hora Historical Monuments finished system: These sightseeings include the entry into several important churches, such as: Virgin Mary Assumption Church, St. Barbra Cathedral and another very interesting building - Jesuits´ Order College. All monuments, mentioned above, are to be visited within scope of one entry ticket, offering the entry into most attractive places of interest. So, everybody will choose the objects according to his wishes.
The object is well accessible by car (via Kolín) or from Prague via Říčany-Kostelec nad Černými Lesy. Railway station is approx. one kilometer distant, and a comfortable walk takes approx. 15 minutes.
