Notre-Dame, Paris's Gothic Masterpiece, Set to Reopen Five Years After Devastating Fire
The world gets a first look inside a resplendent new Notre-Dame on Friday, as France's President Emmanuel Macron conducts a televised tour to mark the cathedral's imminent re-opening. Five-and-a-half years after the devastating fire of 2019, Paris's Gothic jewel has been rescued, renovated and refurbished - offering visitors what promises to be a breathtaking visual treat. The president - accompanied by his wife Brigitte and Archbishop of Paris Laurent Ulrich - are kicking off a programme of ceremonies that culminates with an official "entry" into the cathedral on 7 December and the first Catholic Mass the next day. After being shown highlights of the building’s €700m (£582m) renovation - including the massive roof timbers that replace the medieval frame consumed in the fire - he will give a speech of thanks to around 1,300 craftsmen and women gathered in the nave. Notre-Dame's re-vamped interior has been kept a closely-guarded secret - with only a few images released over the years marking the progress of the renovation work. But people who have been inside recently say the experience is awe-inspiring, the cathedral lifted by a new clarity and brightness that mark a sharp contrast with the pervading gloom of before. As reported by the BBC. Full Story -

Creating a Savings Portfolio for Thai Wife
I understand your thinking in looking after her but when you are dead you are not going to worry about it. I am in a similar situation and will be leaving her cash and gold in small quantities, and real estate. I know her family will be after her when I am gone (they are doing it already) but she will have to make her own decisions and I only hope she takes regard to what I tell her now. -
