the
suspense
in the rko radio musical comedy music for madame lies in whether or not golden - voiced operatic tenor nino martini will be permitted to sing . en route to hollywood , tonio ( martini ) is hoodwinked into serenading a wedding party while a gang of jewel thieves clean out the place . the crooks head for the hills , but not before threatening to murder tonio if he ever sings again ( his voice , you see , is the only clue the police have to go by ) . while pondering the future of his career , our hero falls in love with beautiful jean ( joan fontaine ) and is sorely tempted to express his ardor in song . music for madame was jesse l . lasky ' s first rko production - - and very nearly his last when the picture lost $ 375 , 000 for the studio . ~ hal erickson , all movie guide
there are good reasons for the enduring popularity of madame butterfly - - and its status as a cash cow for opera companies . a story of innocent , unyielding love betrayed by an insensitive foreigner is told in puccini ' s soaring tunes and exquisitely detailed orchestral music . the opera most often programmed by the dallas opera in its six - decade history , butterfly opened its 11th company incarnation friday night at the winspear opera house , and it was a thriller .

anggun underwent a sitting in london with madame tussauds artists , where 350 photos and measurements were taken of the star to enable a truly flawless re - creation of her likeness . she will be depicted in her familiar judging chair in a brand new asia’s got talent experience at madame tussauds bangkok .

the outstanding feature of the music is its fitness to the stage picture . it emphasises the dramatic situation , intensifies the emotional expression of the text , and throughout gives the appropriate atmosphere to the work .
“madame sousatzka” was directed by john schlesinger , who plays it in a very particular kind of london household . the shabby rooming house is on a once - distinguished street that has now been targeted by realtors for gentrification . the house is owned by lady emily ( peggy ashcroft ) , a sweet - tempered old lady who lives in the basement and peacefully coexists with her tenants , who include madame , the model and cordle ( geoffrey bayldon ) , a somewhat decayed civil servant type with occasional furtive homosexual adventures . although the movie creates affection for the little community within the house , this is not a film about how the developers must be defeated - and you will be relieved to learn that the young pianist does not star in a benefit for lady emily .
a new wax figure of the multi - talented french - indonesian singer , songwriter , producer , united nations goodwill ambassador , world music award winner , and asia’s got talent’s judge panel , anggun will be joining the ranks of world class artists and performers exclusively at madame tussauds’ attraction in bangkok from this september . these include the likes of oprah , naomi , ann thongprasom and ken theeradet .
the indian boy comes every afternoon for piano lessons from madame sousatzka , who cannot disguise the love in her voice as she teaches him not only about music , but about how to sit , how to breathe , how to hold his elbows , and how to think about his talent . behind her , in the shadows of her musty london apartment , are the photographs of earlier students who were taught the same lessons before they went out into the world - where some of them became great pianists and others became just players of the piano .
the screeenplay , by ruth prawer jhabvala and schlesinger , takes the time to be precise about teaching ; we may feel by the end we’ve had a few lessons , ourselves . it is about discipline , about patience , about love of music . manek tells sousatzka at one point that when he goes on a stage , he will feel a small core of strength inside himself that she has given him . it is all , besides technique , that any teacher has to offer . “madame sousatzka” is an extraordinary movie that loves music and loves the people it is about , and has the patience to do justice to both .
nino martini was a italian tenor who tried his luck in hollywood . he was perhaps a little too european for the hollywood audience to catch on and this ended up being his last for a decade . he had one more attempt in the 1940s , but that was it for him . a good operatic voice , and a fairly energetic guy , he ' s alright . funny seeing him and erik rhodes together for the two sound so much alike ! could tell them apart by just listening to them . the plot is straight nonsense with a solid comic cast to heighten the enjoyment . good fun , if nothing more .

the full cast and creative team have been announced to join tony award winner victoria clark in the 2017 toronto premiere of the new broadway - aimed musical sousatzka ( formerly madame sousatzka ) based on the 1988 film starring shirley maclaine .
manek , her latest student , is played by navin chowdhry as a teenager who apart from his talent is a fairly normal young man . he travels by skateboard despite madame’s explicit orders that he is not to endanger his hands , he enjoys playing the piano and yet is not obsessed by it , and he has a lively interest in the model ( twiggy ) who lives upstairs in madame’s eccentric rooming house . his mother ( shabana azmi ) is divorced , and supports them by making gourmet indian pastries for the food department of harrod’s . she has an admirer , but manek is jealous of her boyfriend , and wants to make his concert debut so that he can support his mother - not some strange man . he is encouraged in his ambition by a predatory booking agent who overhears his playing and wants to use him immediately - creating a war of wills between madame and her pupil .

fontaine is second - billed to martini , who is really the star of the film . for fontaine , it was another colorless
the girl
role , as was her next one ,
cheri - bibi is an escape artist wrongly imprisoned for murdering the wealthy father of his admirer cecile . the real murderer is cecile ' s fiancé , so how will bibi escape his death sentence and win back cecile ?
maclaine’s approach to the role is interesting . she deliberately ages herself , and has put on weight for the role , so that there is relatively little of the familiar shirley maclaine to be seen on the screen . even those traces soon disappear into the role of a woman who loves music , loves to teach , loves her students and is crippled only by her traumatic failure on the stage . it might have embittered her , but it has not ; she holds onto her students not out of resentment but out of pride , and fear .

“madame sousatzka” is not a one - level movie in which everything leads up to the cliche of the crucial first concert . this is not a movie about success or failure ; it is a movie about soldiering on , about continuing to do your best , day after day , simply because you believe in yourself - no matter what anyone else thinks . madame believes this 16 - year - old boy can be a great pianist , and that she - no one else - is the person to guide him on the right path to his destiny .
the film is not about preserving the present , but about being prepared to change , and by the end of the film lady emily and cordle have found that they can live quite comfortably in a little riverside flat , while madame resolutely soldiers on in the house , undeterred by the noise and dirt of construction . but she has changed in a more important way , by being able to understand for the first time , a little , anyway , why a student must eventually be allowed to go out into the world and take his chances .
the musical has a book by craig lucas . it is directed by adrian noble , with choreography by graciela daniele . also on the broadway creative team : tony award - winning scenic designer anthony ward ( mary stuart ) , tony - winning costume designer paul tazwell ( hamilton ) , two - time tony - winning lighting designer howell binkley ( hamilton ) , olivier award - winning projection designer jonathan driscoll ( charlie and the chocolate factory ) , grammy award - winning sound designer martin levan ( phantom of the opera , sunset boulevard , show boat , cats cast recording ) , tony - winning orchestrator jonathan tunick ( sweeney todd , into the woods , titanic ) , grammy - winning musical supervisor david caddick ( phantom of the opera , sunset boulevard , les misérables cast recording ) , music director brad haak ( an american in paris ) , with additional music and vocal arrangements by grammy - winning lebo m . ( the lion king ) , and additional music arrangements by grammy - - nominated marius de vries ( the films moulin rouge , la la land ) .

the production will also feature tony award winner judy kaye and tony nominee montego glover . clark , who recently made her new york musical festival directorial debut with newton ' s cradle , is cast in the title role of the stern polish piano player and teacher , the part created on film by maclaine , who won a golden globe for her performance . clark won her tony for the light in the piazza . she was most recently on broadway in a tony - nominated performance in the revival of gigi .
madame sousatzka believes that this boy , manek , can be a great pianist , a virtuoso - but we , in the audience , have no objective way to know if she is a great teacher of great musicians , or just a piano teacher who is deluding herself and the boy . that doesn’t matter .
ruth prawer jhabvala and john schlesinger penned the screenplay for madame sousatzka based on the novel by bernice rubens . as described by the producers , the musical will be based on the rubens novel , sousatzka , set in london , england in 1982 . it tells the story of “a young musical prodigy torn between two powerful women from vastly different worlds : his mother , a political refugee and his piano teacher , a brilliant eccentric with a shattered past . these two proud , iconoclastic women must ultimately cross cultural and racial divides to find common ground , or else put the boy’s destiny in jeopardy . ”

“madame sousatzka” is a film about her efforts to protect the boy from all of the pressures and temptations around him , while simultaneously shoring up the ruins of her own world . as played by shirley maclaine , in one of the best performances of the year , she is a faded , aging woman who possesses great stubbornness and conviction .
not an opera fan , but this is cuter than a lot of these slight comedies . standard bmg , blg , bgg but some decent jokes , and martini has a beautiful tenor . fontaine isn ' t allowed to do much singing , but when she does , you should head for a snack .
the production will also mark the broadway return of garth drabinsky , who served 18 months in a canadian jail for fraud connected with the collapse of his production company , livent . the toronto - based producer had developed the show in a june 7 - july 17 , 2016 workshop there that featured a number of broadway veterans , including clark .
( 1934 ) , which was hugely popular and earned oscar® nominations for moore and for the film as best picture . french coloratura lily pons also made a few films , and the films of both featured the sopranos singing pop songs . with their success , and that of jeanette macdonald and nelson eddy , lasky was ready to try again to make martini a movie star . in a 1980 article about opera on film entitled
golden voices , silver screen ,
david l . parker wrote ,
five years earlier , at the end of the opera film ' s first musical cycle , lasky . . . had not renewed martini ' s contract . now he built three starring vehicles around him .
that humiliation is still in her nightmares , and still shapes her attitude toward her students . they must not be allowed to perform in public until they are ready . unfortunately , madame is hardly ever prepared to admit they are ready , and so sooner or later all of her pupils are forced to make a break with her . their departures have made her career a series of heartbreaks , and populated the shelves of photographs in her apartment .
florence lacey , whose broadway credits include the original production of evita , the most recent broadway revival of follies , and the 1978 and 1995 revivals of hello , dolly ! , plays madame armfeldt . the principal cast also features holly twyford as desiree armfeldt , bobby smith as frederik egerman , nicki elledge as anne , will gartshore as count carl magnus , sam ludwig as henrik egerman , anna grace nowalk as fredricka , tracy lynn olivera as countess charlotte malcolm , and maria rizzo as petra .
drabinsky and livent are known for a slate of lavish broadway productions including kiss of the spider woman , ragtime , show boat , candide , fosse and parade . but because of his unanswered u . s . securities and exchange commission indictment in the states , drabinsky risks arrest if he comes to the u . s . , so he will take the title ”creative producer” and leave the operation of the broadway production to a group called teatro proscenium limited partnership .
with two esteemed veterans in charge , though - - stage director john copley and conductor donato renzetti - - even said survivor was pulled deeply into the drama and deeply moved by it . with designer michael yeargan ' s traditional sliding - walls set and turn - of - the - 20th - century costumes , created for san francisco opera , this butterfly makes no point of novelty . but there was chills - down - the - back singing , and renzetti got finesse and nuance i don ' t remember ever hearing from the dallas opera orchestra . repeat performances are highly recommended .
visually , gianluca terranova is a bit of a scruffy pinkerton , and at the beginning i wondered if he ' d ever come down from relentless fortes and fortissimos . but in a role that has exposed many a tenor ' s raw top end , terranova ' s meaty tone never loses control even on high , and after that aggressive beginning there ' s lovely intimate singing where called for . to his credit , he plays the love - her - and - leave - her lieutenant less as a cad than as a thoughtless naif , finally horrified at what he has done .
, parker writes that
martini sang rudolf friml songs to joan fontaine , who portrayed an aspiring opera composer by walking around at parties holding a huge score sticking out in front of her . . . martini told interviewers that , for the movies , ' i sing exactly as i do onstage or in my studio . ' that , some reviewers felt , was precisely the problem : movies required something other than a regulation - opera - tenor approach . ' martini is little more than a voice , ' opined critic otis ferguson .
martini ' s thick italian accent didn ' t help , and after

1937 was the year joan fontaine ' s film career took off . signed to a contract by rko , she had made her film debut in mgm ' s
( 1935 ) , billed as joan burfield . by the fall of 1936 , she embarked on a string of productions , mostly at her home studio , at first in unbilled or supporting roles , but quickly in more important ones .
was the fifth of six films in which she appeared in 1937 , and she was by then a full - fledged leading lady .
, the difference being that in the latter she played opposite top rko star fred astaire , and had a top director , george stevens , and songs by george and ira gershwin . rko did not renew her contract when it expired in 1939 , but she finally became a major star when she played the second mrs . dewinter in alfred hitchcock ' s
martini had been discovered by producer and paramount pictures co - founder jesse l . lasky , who brought him to the u . s . to appear in musicals at the dawn of the sound era . martini appeared in the revue picture
and a few musical shorts in 1930 , but when lasky offered no appropriate roles , he devoted himself to an operatic and radio career . by the mid - 1930s , there was a flurry of films starring opera stars , beginning with the success of metropolitan opera diva grace moore in

consul , and descriptive of his kindly , sympathetic nature . after pinkerton has commented upon the elastic nature of japanese houses and contracts , he sings a suave strain characteristic of his easy - going , optimistic temperament . the opening phrase in the orchestra will be recognised as the melody of
the
star - spangled banner .
it is heard several times in the course of the work , when pinkertons nationality is referred to . that his convenient gospel may have fatal consequences , sharpless points out in a phrase that recurs in the last scene , where the consul is justified in his philosophy :
during goros absence , pinkerton describes how he has been fascinated by the little japanese girl in a dainty , piquant melody , set out with delicate touches of orchestration , suggestive of her grace and butterfly - like charm . a second time sharpless warns him , now in the following themes , also heard in the second act , telling him that this child is not to be trifled with . he drinks to pinkertons friends and relatives at home , to the accompaniment of the warning motive ( 3a ) , and when the lieutenant also raises his glass to his future american wife , the phrase ( 3b ) continues the timely advice . now goro returns , announcing the approach of the bridal party . he sings a quaint japanese phrase that forms an accompaniment to the first strains of their voices , heard in the distance , then nearer , and at last in full force on the stage . in this lovely chorus the girl - friends of the bride sing in praise of nature - - the sea , sky , and flowers , as seen from the path leading to the house , and butterfly at the same time reveals her anticipation of great happiness , supported by the delicious flowing melody of the orchestra . the broad themes of this movement are afterwards used in the duet at the end of the act , where the lovers declare their mutual passion , intensified by the beauty of the night and the surrounding scene . as the number closes with a burst of ecstasy , butterfly appears
on the stage with her friends , and the motive representing her is given out in the orchestra . just as the theme ( 2a ) seems to depict the light - hearted american ,
here incomplete , will soon be heard in a more developed form . refreshments are brought from the house into the garden to the accompaniment of the marriage theme , and the figure heard before , when goro enumerated the guests , announces the arrival of the commissioner , the registrar , and the relatives . this merry , fascinating measure is continued while the new - comers express their very candid opinions of the bridegroom . as the chorus proceeds , sharpless offers pinkerton his congratulations in a bold , striking phrase that stands our from the chattering of the other guests , with which it is cleverly combined . while the consul , with the other officials , gets the bond ready and the guests are regaling themselves , the bridegroom approaches the bride , and the
of the death motive in unison appears to presage that she will not survive the meeting . when the concluding symphony dies away , the consuls motive , and the marriage theme with its attendant strains , announce the arrival of sharpless in the company of goro .
during the scene between the consul and butterfly , the warning phrase ( 2b ) is repeated frequently , pointing to the fulfillment of sharpless prophecy in the first act . here also a theme
the plot revolves around nino , who is traveling to hollywood in search of fame . he falls in with a gang of crooks who use his talent to distract everyone at a party while they steal the jewels .
a naive opera singer ' s desire to perform at the hollywood bowl plays into the hands of mobsters who want him as a front .
beloved as it is , puccini ' s tear - jerker isn ' t foolproof . in our politically correct times , its national stereotypes - - the shuffling japanese either cloyingly naive or crudely exploitative , the american sailor coarsely insensitive to humans both singly and culturally - - seem increasingly noxious . at least one survivor of too many butterfly s to count sat down friday night with defenses up .
chinese soprano hui he starts out playing the title role ' s obsequiousness , but she increasingly summons determination , ardor and every fury . if there ' s occasionally a bit of edge to the voice , it mostly exudes great warmth , rising in thrilling climaxes .
lucas meachem portrays the american consul sharpless as a decent man who in the end cringes at the ugly news he ' s forced to deliver . he supplies a handsome , substantitive baritone , although sometimes settling on low sides of pitches . manuela custer is cio - cio - san ' s strong - willed servant suzuki , her sturdy mezzo too often relying on raucous chest tones . david cangelosi ' s powerful , pungent tenor and slimy manner perfectly represent the marriage broker goro .
reginald smith , jr . is imposing both physically and vocally as cio - cio - san ' s uncle , the bonze . will hughes and angela turner wilson fill out the cast as prince yamadori and kate pinkerton . alternating as the boy sorrow are asher baltensperger ( who took the role friday ) and grayson mcferrin - hogan .

how to spot a great southern restaurant ? look for loiterers . for gabrielle langholtz , who traveled to all 50 states in search of the food in her new book , america : the cookbook ( phaidon , out october 9 ) , the rule is :
if there is a group of people smoking outside…yes ! construction workers , farmers , and so forth , yes ! that & apos ; s the place .
a night at the restored north branch inn —part of the continuing brooklyn - ization of the catskills , a trend no one who & apos ; s ever been to the catskills will ever lament—goes like this : a few catskill coolers , iced and gingery , at the historic bar , a bar you never want to leave . until you step into the hotel & apos ; s tiny cinema with seats from radio city music hall , and then you never want to leave that . until you sit down and try the farmerific food . ( i don & apos ; t know any farmers who eat their charcuterie plates with spent - grain crackers and whiskey pickles , but i want to . )
dinner is served off the lobby next to a tiny bowling alley , and so you will keep thinking : this is delicious , but i can & apos ; t wait to bowl . the pins are so old they have to be set manually , and you will be overly catskill coolered , so you will spend the next couple hours learning the art of drunken pin - setting and hoping you don & apos ; t get hit by your friends & apos ; reckless attempts at a spare . give in to it . this is country life as it was never meant to be . —jim nelson
also try : brushland eating house , bovina , new york , just northwest of the catskills : a restaurant in an old two - story house , run by the former chef at prime meats and the grocery in n . y . c . ( who & apos ; s responsible for the burger up top ) .
you can hear the thrum of interstate 44 from olio , a modern israeli restaurant in st . louis & apos ; s botanical heights . it was a convenient location for the building & apos ; s former life as a standard oil filling station , originally built in the 1930s . the exterior & apos ; s neatly lined with red , white , and blue tiles now , and the garage door draws up in good weather . but only a few years ago , it was another decaying building in another forgotten strip of the city . the restaurant was part of the first wave of what has become a neighborhood renaissance , reclaiming design elements of the city & apos ; s past to move into the present . —jessie kissinger
in the archipelago of coves and points in gloucester , a narrow one - way residential street leads to a small marina . on the docks is a weathered old building that looks like it should be serving popcorn shrimp on paper plates out a window . instead , it houses the market restaurant , where chez panisse alums offer up a super - minimalist , super - local menu—the island creek oysters are a must—along with natural wine . parking is scarce , so be prepared to walk . —benjy hansen - bundy
also try : the marshall store , marshall , california ; abbott & apos ; s lobster in the rough , groton , connecticut .
regular drivers of the lightly populated 635 - mile interstate 5 corridor have historically been forced to eat at a gas station or have nothing at all . yaks , a burger paradise in yawn - and - it & apos ; s - gone dunsmuir , california ( pop . 1 , 574 ) , has changed everything . among the 20 - plus exotic concepts on yaks & apos ; bravura burger menu are entrées slathered in fermented garlic , beer - battered jalapeño chips , and roasted - duck chili . the cilantro bomb burger—you had no idea you could eat this much cilantro at one time—is a wonder . almost everything is local , including the beef from a closed herd that grazes on grass in the shadow of nearby mount shasta . —chuck thompson
on the one hand , gilhooley & apos ; s ( about an hour & apos ; s drive from houston ) is just what you & apos ; d expect to find in a speck of a gulf coast fishing town . fashioned out of weathered wood , with a rusty boxcar parked out front , this seafood dive is proudly unpolished , like many of its regulars , who start drinking icy longnecks at 11 a . m . and have no problem with the strict
no kids , no pets , cash only
policy . but then you start in on the oysters gilhooley—each simmering in its own pool of butter , garlic , and parm after being roasted over a pecan - and - oak fire—and you realize that the best bivalves in the country are being served in a no - bullshit shack on a road you & apos ; d otherwise never travel down . —jordan breal
the tiny fishing town of cordova , nestled between the rain forest and the coast , is the last place you & apos ; d expect to find food that seems more suited to the baja california peninsula more than 2 , 000 miles away . but at cordova & apos ; s baja taco , fish tacos are made with some of the world & apos ; s best wild salmon , fresh from the copper river , fried up in a rickety red school bus and served within a small cabin overlooking the harbor . —maddie gressel
also try : xiao bao biscuit , charleston , south carolina : in an old gas station , a husband - and - wife team whip up pan - asian dishes
inspired by kick - ass grandmothers everywhere ,
including the american south .
the tiny farming community & apos ; s main drag is all lit up again , thanks to rancho pizzeria , where the pies being pulled out of the brick oven are so astutely crafted—with calabrian chiles and genoa salami and crushed tomatoes—that a pit - stop town is now a destination . ( grab a rhône varietal or three from sister winery rancho loma vineyards across the street . ) —j . b .
every summer i load my children into the car along with five metric tons of cargo for the three - hour drive from the d . c . area to the brown - sugar shores of dewey beach , delaware . you might think i dread this car ride with every dad cell in my body , but i do not . for i know of a grand and delicious secret on tiny highway 16 : greenwood & apos ; s volunteer fire department cookout , which raises money every summer weekend by slathering half chickens in a mixture of cider vinegar and poultry seasoning . then they & apos ; re grilled over hot coals until the air is perfumed with a mouthwatering scent that floats over the train tracks and directly into your car . for seven bucks , you get a tray with half a chicken , a roll , a bag of chips , and the right to douse everything in a strangely addictive sauce . these firefighters are saving lives in so many different ways . —drew magary
one half of dai due is a butcher shop that chops up just about everything you could imagine—from wild boar to quail . and the other half , in the back , is a restaurant that texas food critics are calling the best in austin—which is saying a lot these days . jesse griffiths and tamara mayfield , proprietors of both , source nearly all their ingredients from within texas , olive oil included . pick from either à la carte dishes like beer - braised collard greens or venison hot dogs with kimchi , or a supper - club menu , with big , shareable family - style dishes of seafood on friday and fried chicken on sunday . so go on sunday . ( and then again on tuesday , when they serve the wagyu cheeseburger , the meat ground in the front of the shop . ) —b . h . b .
it & apos ; s restaurant abiogenesis : when non - human matter ( the maine woods ) burps up something barely sentient ( a kitchenette in an airstream ) that , after sprouting legs and a cookbook , saunters off to the james beard awards . for the lost kitchen , that took three years . but the evolution of the 40 - seater , now housed in a converted gristmill , is made more remarkable by where it happened . which is—where again ? as the locals say ,
ya can & apos ; t get they - ah from hee - yah .
the barely gps - able freedom , maine , is an inland rural town so small that the population swells five percent if the restaurant is full . no quaint lobster docks . no buoy wind chimes . just self - taught chef erin french and her months - long waiting list—and , buoy , is it worth going they - ah from hee - yah . —s . b .

finding the right mate is no cakewalk — but is it even mathematically likely ? in a charming talk , mathematician hannah fry shows patterns in how we look for love , and gives her top three tips ( verified by math ! ) for finding that special someone .
what can mathematics say about history ? according to ted fellow jean - baptiste michel , quite a lot . from changes to language to the deadliness of wars , he shows how digitized history is just starting to reveal deep underlying patterns .
we live in a world run by algorithms , computer programs that make decisions or solve problems for us . in this riveting , funny talk , kevin slavin shows how modern algorithms determine stock prices , espionage tactics , even the movies you watch . but , he asks : if we depend on complex algorithms to manage our daily decisions — when do we start to lose control ?
physicist geoffrey west has found that simple , mathematical laws govern the properties of cities — that wealth , crime rate , walking speed and many other aspects of a city can be deduced from a single number : the city ' s population . in this mind - bending talk from tedglobal he shows how it works and how similar laws hold for organisms and corporations .
math is logical , functional and just . . . awesome . mathemagician arthur benjamin explores hidden properties of that weird and wonderful set of numbers , the fibonacci series . ( and reminds you that mathematics can be inspiring , too ! )
by analyzing raw data on violent incidents in the iraq war and others , sean gourley and his team claim to have found a surprisingly strong mathematical relationship linking the fatality and frequency of attacks .
margaret wertheim leads a project to re - create the creatures of the coral reefs using a crochet technique invented by a mathematician — celebrating the amazements of the reef , and deep - diving into the hyperbolic geometry underlying coral creation .
' i am a mathematician , and i would like to stand on your roof . ' that is how ron eglash greeted many african families he met while researching the fractal patterns he ' d noticed in villages across the continent .

people looking for work often find that the best way to get hired these days is through a referral . so that means networking is essential . but don’t limit yourself to networking over a cup of coffee , through email or at networking events with people in your line of work .
the best way to think about networking is that it’s relationship building . networking works best when it happens through your trusted contacts . so try networking at some of the following activities you may be involved in . they may provide excellent opportunities for references and job recommendations or assistance in switching careers :
you never know where chatting up people you exercise with might lead . my wife , suzi howard , is part of a “boot camp” exercise group in georgia that also morphed into a running group . she happened to mention at one of her sessions that we needed to replace our roof and discovered that one of her boot camp friends is a roofer . he got our job ( and gave us a great deal ) . we were so happy with his work , we recommended him to our next - door neighbor and he replaced her roof , too . you might make connections at your gym or swimming at the y .
my wife is transitioning from the day job she has held for 10 years in georgia to a new career as an art teacher . she’s in a book club and found that one of its members is dating an art teacher . that teacher helped suzi navigate georgia’s professional standards website . he also advised her how to study for , and take , the educators’ certification test she needed to get employed .
marcy ullom , 63 , of south florida has been a member of rotary international for over 25 years . she calls the civic organization “one of my best networking tools . ”
says ullom , who has worked in curriculum publishing for grades k - 12 since 2010 : “i know people all over the world as a result of my involvement in rotary . ” ullom says that she has leveraged her rotary network to find subject matter experts and professional writers . she is also launching an online business and has found potential investors and business advisers through rotary international .
also , ullom adds , volunteering through rotary helps her extend her network and assist others in getting hired . “i’ve referred people to rotarians who offer the skills that someone might need , ” ullom says .
my wife is also involved in a nonpartisan political action committee dedicated to supporting women in georgia who are running for office for the first time . at the group’s initial meeting , each participant had a chance to introduce herself . suzi offhandedly mentioned that she’s an artist who does pet portraits , people portraits and something she calls “kid art , ” where she embellishes a child’s drawing with her own art . as a result , she has already received preliminary interest in new jobs from several people in the club .
networking through your church , synagogue , mosque or other religious facility can be tricky . sometimes , it’s frowned upon . in other cases , it may be encouraged . for example , the aspiring mormon women website seeks to support and celebrate the educational and professional aspirations of lds ( church of latter day saints ) women .
as with any group that’s not primarily about networking , adopting a passive approach is often wise . if someone there happens to ask what you do for a living or requests referrals for a product or service in your field , it’s okay to step up . but don’t be market yourself aggressively .

like finding change down the back of the sofa , except culturally rewarding ( and memorable ) .
the cloisters new york , new york atop its perch in fort tryon park , in the northern inwood district of manhattan , the cloisters museum houses the best of medieval europe ( well , that which could be transported ) . covered walkways connect a group of authentic medieval french cloisters , and their courtyards . ( on a sunny day , a visit really does make you feel like you ' re in france ! ) the beauty of the architectural anomalies are well matched by the tasteful landscaping of the cloisters ' 66 - acre plot and the gorgeous views across the river .
however , you might spend more time inside , as some of the greatest works of the period are on display . four works in particular display a level of skill and absorption that simply defy comprehension . both the detail in brushwork and narrative will amaze in robert campin ' s divine 15th - century altarpiece , as will the microscopic carving present in the 16th - century boxwood rosary bead . next , the mysterious story described in the famous ' unicorn tapestries ' will literally bemuse , as will trying to comprehend the level of concentration needed to create what is perhaps the most beautiful of all western books , pucelle ' s ' hours of jean d ' evreaux ' ( queen of france ) .
shunt vaults london , england most people , by now , know about the secret passage in london ' s king ' s cross station , thanks to harry potter . but do you know about the one in london bridge ? the shunt theater collective , a group of local artists , has taken over the row of vaults under a set of train tracks at london bridge station , and regularly stages a variety of performances , concerts , projections and exhibitions in them . the space , coined the shunt vaults and accessible through an unmarked door next to the underground station ' s ticket barriers , is huge and pitch - black inside .

kulturen sweden lund is an old swedish city . once a main religious center ( evident by the extant cathedral ) , it is now home to a thriving university and research community cycling daily along the quaint , charming cobbled streets . a peek over the pastel walls on either side of one such street will give you quite a surprise . you ' ll notice a jumble of rooftops - some ancient - all certainly very different .
these are the tops of the grand cacophony of buildings huddled together in the historic village ( the second oldest in the world ) of the kulturen , a ' living museum ' that tells the story of human society and practices , from the earliest peasant inhabitants of scandinavia through to the present day . in the rooms of the original buildings ( collected from all over scandinavia ) beds are unmade , fires flicker and radios blare - they are full of atmosphere . a range of temporary exhibitions accompany the superbly curated permanent ones . they cover such diverse themes as lund in the middle ages , women prisoners in ravensbruck concentration camp and modernism in lund .
the new york earth room new york , new york we ' re not sure what ' s more surprising : the fact that 280 , 000 pounds of earth are lying in a gallery space in new york ' s fashionable soho district , or that , in this city of flux and add , the new york earth room has been there for 30 years . the piece , which covers the room ' s floor and is about 3 feet high , is a sculptural work by walter de maria . it was commissioned and is maintained by the dia art foundation .

dr sun yat - sen chinese garden vancouver , british columbia chinese craftsmanship cropping up in chinatown isn ' t particularly surprising . however , it is stunning to realize that the only authentic , full - scale chinese classical garden built outside china is in canada . the sun yat - sen gardens are an oasis of serenity - the trickle of water , the tap , tap , tapping of bamboo and the soft rustling of reeds in the warm summer breeze - at the foot of vancouver ' s boisterous chinatown . to ensure authentic work practices while building the garden , the builders and artisans ( 52 of them flown in from mainland china ) worked with 950 crates of raw materials they brought with them - everything from the large limestone rocks to the tiny pebbles in the path .
they were forbidden to use power tools , screws , nails or glue , relying instead on their eyes to join the walkways and partitions precisely together . amazingly , it took just a year to complete . based on a 14th - 17th - century suzhou ming dynasty model , the garden adheres to the yin / yang balance of elements . it also features carved wooden seating beside the pool , which was traditionally intended only for women to use . the position requires the sitter to recline at a most agreeable angle to enjoy the sounds and reflections of the adjacent pool .

the smashing of a statue of lenin in kiev by protesters leaves the city without a monument to the leader of the 1917 revolution - but there are plenty left elsewhere . here are five .
the bohemian seattle suburb of fremont acquired a lenin statue in the early 1990s , with the help of an english teacher , lewis carpenter , who mortgaged his home to rescue it from poprad in slovakia . it stands outside a number of fast food shops , and is decorated on special occasions , with festive lights , occasionally drag , or just fancy dress .
in december 1958 soviet scientists responded to the us ' s construction of the amundsen - scott station at the south pole by building a research station at the pole of inaccessibility - the antarctic ' s most remote spot . they fixed a plastic lenin bust to the roof before they left , two weeks later . today it is the only visible part .
finsbury council in london commissioned a bust of lenin during world war two to celebrate the alliance with the soviet union against nazi germany . cast by the russian emigre architect berthold lubetkin , who worked with the council on housing projects before and after the war , it stood for a while in holford square , near one of lenin ' s former london homes . it was often vandalised , and eventually removed . it can now be seen in islington museum .
not far from kiev , but less easy for anti - soviet protesters to get at , is this bust of lenin in the
underwater museum
at tarhankut , crimea . a number of former soviet rulers are commemorated in the alley of the leaders , their statues and busts standing or lying on underwater shelves of rock .
one of the few western european towns with a bust of lenin in a public square is cavriago , near bologna . the town council website explains ( in italian ) that fierce debates raged in 1918 between moderates and
maximalists
within the local socialist party . the maximalists came out on top , and in 1920 lenin was named
honorary first citizen
. later the town came under attack from fascists and the administration resigned . the bust is intended to bear testimony , in a non - judgmental way , to the
strong civil and political passions of those years
.
