That's nice. True beauty lies in the soul but an attractive lady is quite a sight!

Hmm. We have a saying Mexi here in England. The pot is calling the kettle black.

Here we say the frying pan calling the pot black. It is a matter of perspective I suppose.

Well, "the frying pan told to the pot: stay away or you'll blacken me", to be precise.

How André Rieu handled a very human crisis

December 20, 2016 by norman lebrecht

Now it can be told.

On Saturday morning at 5am, the trombonist Ruud Merx – a star of André Rieu’s Johann Strauss Orchestra – suffered cardiac arrest in his sleep.

Ruud was rushed to hospital in Leeds in a critical condition and Saturday’s concert in Nottingham was cancelled.

On Sunday morning, with no change in Ruud’s condition, André and members of the orchestra agreed to call off the rest of the tour. Ruud and his wife Alina Lin Jong are long-standing, popular members of the ensemble.

They have two children, both in their teens.

André arranged for the shocked family to come over from Holland. He then set in motion the procedure for Ruud to be transferred back to his home country, where Ruud remains in a coma.

The orchestra have been told that there is little hope of recovery, but they continue to pray for Ruud.

As do we all.

Ruud’s identity and condition have been published here with consent.

Iconic Moments In Women’s Sport That Made Everyone Cheer

 

Tania Cagnotto

She first made waves in Italy as a talented 15-year-old diver. She had qualified for the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games. The star only came in 18th but went on to win Gold at the FINA 2015 world championships. She wrote history as the first ever Italian to do so.

In the 2016 Rio Olympics, she took home silver and bronze. The 31-year-old diver is now retired and is a celebrity in her homeland. In 2013, she did a shoot for Playboy Italy, and her crowd cheered on even when she did a poor dive. This was overwhelming for her.
