Rajon Rondo all wrapped up and ready to go
|05.09.11 at 7:52 pm ET
With his injured left elbow in a heavy white protective wrap and brace, Rajon Rondo took the court Monday and started for the Celtics.
The Celtics All-Star point guard dislocated his left elbow when he was pushed to the ground by Dwyane Wade with 7:02 left in the third quarter of Game 3 Saturday night at TD Garden.
He left the game and had the elbow popped back in place and started the fourth quarter, inspiring the Celtics in a 97-81 win over the Heat. After taking part in the pregame shootaround Monday morning, Rondo was cleared to play in Monday's Game 4.

Former Marine to Run Across America to raise money for the Wounded Warrior Project
"I'm going to stick my foot in the bay in Coos Bay, Oregon and 100 days later end up in Baltimore, Md. at the Inner Harbor. I'm running across the country for 100 days, 3,500 miles, rain sleet, snow or hail. Whatever we have to do to get across the country," said Jamie Summerlin.
Jamie and his wife, Tiffany, are both former Marines and the idea to run for the Wounded Warrior Project seemed fitting.
"I just started thinking, what can I do to give back? I'm very fortunate to be able to be out here running and doing it injury free. So, why not make something of it? They've helped some friends of ours out in a great way and I've read a lot about them. I know some folks involved with them and being former military members, it just seemed to hit home," added Summerlin.
On March 26, 2012, Jamie's feet will hit the trail and there is no turning back.

Marty Cooper—maybe you've heard of him and his little invention, the cellphone—thinks modern smartphones are way too convoluted and that future phones will live behind your ear, under your skin. You think AT&T owns your ass now...
Just kidding. It wouldn't be your ass, it'd be your ear, but more on that later.
On a slightly more serious note, Cooper really did invent the mobile phone, way back in 1973 while working for Motorola.
It was a time when Zack Morris phone jokes weren't invented yet, but leaving a prototype phone in a bar would have still kicked your professional ass. You see, when Cooper was trucking around a cellphone in 1973, it weighed nearly two kilos and cost approximately $1 million for Motorola to produce. Battery life was a brisk 20 minutes. Order a pizza or do more QA testing?—choices!
Fast forward to today, and Cooper is put off by the size of a smartphone's instruction manual (often larger and heavier than the phone itself, he says), which he argues can require an engineer's expertise to figure out.
No bother though, as Cooper predicts that in the not-so-distant future tiny cellphone implants will deliver calls from Mom via the bony spots behind our ears—a vision that might fall into the "gadget singularity" category.

Yesterday Forbes ran a piece about "best-friend moms," and how "being an intimate rather than an authority figure" will totally screw up your kid. We're not sure we buy it.
Forbes dresses up the article with the obligatory Lindsay/Dina Lohan pic, and author Jenna Goudreau writes that the best-friend mom "dresses like her daughter, offers TMI about her personal life and tries to befriend her children's teenage friends." But watch out: "Moms who try to be befriend their teenage children end up leaving them motherless—at a time when they really need a mom most." It's pretty much common wisdom at this point that trying to be your kid's BFF isn't good parenting. But is this really such a huge social problem?
According to clinical psychologist Stephan B. Poulter, yes. He tells Goudreau, "This trend has become very popular. Just look at People magazine." Poulter claims 30% to 40% of moms are now best-friend moms, a number we hope he arrived at by some method more scientific than flipping through tabloids. So what's behind this "very popular" trend? Goudreau writes,
One theory as to why comes from Poulter, who suggests that there is a greater number of mothers who don't have the time or energy—due to long hours at work, financial stress or otherwise—to put into being a full-time mom. These women are pragmatists in that it's more emotionally rewarding—"easier" as Poulter puts it—to be a friend rather than a traditional mother figure. All that—plus the adage "40 is the new 20." Is anyone growing up?
The culprit is those selfish working moms who are too lazy to discipline their kids — and too skanky to act like proper 40-year-old women. Don't get me wrong — the pressure on older women to continue looking like high school students is upsetting. But articles like Goudreau's imply that it's their fault, that middle-aged women in America are just so into being sexy and having fun that they don't want to "grow up." This attitude — like many discussions of "age-appropriate" clothing — denies middle-aged women's sexuality and makes it sound like the only sensible thing for them to do is slice oranges for the soccer game. And it promulgates a pretty rigid notion of what it means to grow up.

- 82 farmers booked for stubble burning in Sonipat
ROHTAK: Sonipat deputy commissioner M K Pandurang on Saturday ordered registeration of a case against 82 farmers of the district for burning wheat stubble despite prohibitory orders. He also ordered a penalty on the farmers in compliance with the orders of the National Green Tribunal (NGT) after registration of cases. He said 82 farmers were booked under Section 188 (disobeying government orders) of IPC. Talking to mediapersons, Pandurang said the Haryana government had issued an order on October 5, 2016 to ban open burning of wheat and other crop residue which was causing pollution and posing a serious health hazard to humans and animals. He said the order had a provision of imposing penalty on the farmers for violating the directions. "If a farmer burns crop residue in two acres, then he can be fined Rs 2,000. If crop stubble is burnt between two and five acres, then fine is up to Rs 5,000 and for over five acres, the penalty is Rs 15,000," he said. Pandurang directed the tehsildars and naib tehsildars to ensure that village panchayat secretary and Haryana Pollution Control Board (HPCB) to report stubble burning incidents in their respective areas.

- Legal tangles hold up many lands in Bandlaguda mandal
CHARMINAR: Several land parcels, allotted to other government departments by revenue authorities in the Bandlaguda mandal, are stuck in legal tangles. Information obtained though RTI by researcher Kareem Ansari shows that even land allotted to the police is not free from court cases. The case in particular corresponds to the land parcel of around 400 square yard allotted to the Chandrayangutta police station in the area of the same name. The documents show that the land parcel was first classified as 'patta' land and later declared as ceiling surplus land. But the information furnished also reveals that the case of the police station is not an isolated one. There are 12 similar cases. These include other land parcels allotted for utilisation under the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission, one of the flagship schemes of the UPA government. The documents show this land parcel to be in Ghouse Nagar. While a 10,000 square metre land parcel allotted to the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) near the Mairaj Function hall in the same mandal has a pending court case, those alienated to the Road Transport Authority, National Academy of Construction and for housing too share the same fate. Meanwhile, another set of data shows that three complaints of land grabbing and encroachment of government land have been recorded by the revenue authorities. These are at survey number 303 to 306 in Kandikal village, survey numbers 53, 55 and 56 at Khalsa village and Town Survey Numbers 1, 8 and 17 also of Kandikal village. Speaking to TOI, the activist said that while only three cases have been registered, there are many more such cases of encroachment and land grabbing in the Bandlaguda mandal which go unnoticed. "People are unwilling to come forward and lodge their complaints against those who have encroached or those who have indulged in land grabbing. The government needs to be more proactive in land protection," he said. Pointing out the lackadaisical approach of officials towards protection of these land parcels, the activist said that when asked for a total number of land grabbing cases and encroachments, officials replied that the information was not readily available. "It took me nearly four months to get this data," Ansari said.
- Network operator to pay Rs 10,000 for wrong tariff plan
HYDERABAD: A district consumer forum has directed a mobile network operator to pay a sum of Rs 10,000 as compensation to a customer for activating 'wrong' tariff and failing to address the issue even after several complaints. The consumer, Shankerlal Agarwal, purchased a SIM card worth Rs 255 from Tata DoCoMo e- shop for which the base tariff for outgoing calls was priced at one paisa/second across all the networks, including landlines with some additional benefits. However, he submitted that the mobile network company wrongly activated another plan where the base tariff was priced at 1.6 paisa/second for mobiles and 2 paisa/second for landline. "I have made several complaints via emails, telephone calls, but still the problem was not resolved. I even approached National Consumer Helpline — Jaago Grahak Jaago — and registered a complaint at www. Pgportal.gov.in, but nothing has been done," submitted Agarwal before the forum seeking justice and compensation. The DoCoMo authorities, meanwhile, contended that the complaint filed against the branch manager of the company was not maintainable. "There is no such designation in our company, even otherwise he cannot be held personally responsible for the day-to-day affairs of the company. So, the complaint is liable to be dismissed for 'misjoinder' and 'nonjoinder' of necessary parties. Moreover, Tata DoCoMo is only a brand name and it is not a company. On this ground also the present complaint is liable to be dismissed," contended the network company. Not impressed with the contention of the opposite party, the bench said that the party failed to provide promised service, and directed them to pay Rs 10,000 as compensation and Rs 5,000 towards costs.

- Nationalism top priority for BJP: Amit Shah
JAMMU: BJP national president Amit Shah held on Saturday 'manthan' (deliberations) with the state party leadership and got feedback on prevailing political scenario in the state. He is on a two-day visit to Jammu. Shah issued guidelines to the party members to further strengthen the organisation at block and booth levels and added that nationalism was priority for the party. Party sources said that office bearers from Kashmir expressed their concern over prevailing situation in the Valley. "He reaffirmed that the state regime (BJP-PDP alliance) is focusing on development of all the three regions of the state and added that the Centre was aware of Kashmir turmoil and has framed strategy to handle it" a source said. Read this story in ગુજરાતી Talking to reporters, MP and in-charge of J&K Affairs, Avinash Rai Khanna, said the party president noted the concerns raised by the state leadership and issued certain directions in the interest and welfare of the party. Talking to civil society members, Shah said that people across the country have reposed faith in policies and programmes of the Narendra Modi-led government and made the party emerge victorious in recently held assembly elections. Shah is likely to hold meetings with 'RSS Pracharaks' on Sunday. "He will also hold special meeting with the party ministers on Sunday the party office besides meetings with prominent faces of the state," a source said.
- Innovation curator bids goodbye to institute
AHMEDABAD: The Shodh Yatra, a journey to unexplored places in search of grassroots innovations, begun by Professor Anil Gupta aptly depicts his work. Prof Gupta retired from the IIM-A, on Saturday. Prof Gupta, who was awarded the Padma Shri for his distinguished contribution to management education, was far away in Berlin, attending an international conference, when he retired from the IIM-A. Prof Gupta, who joined the institute as faculty member in the Centre for Management in Agriculture in 1981, was not restricted to classroom teaching and continued to absorb learning and innovations from far-flung regions of the country. Prof Gupta, a science graduate in Agriculture and MSc in Biomedical Genetics from Haryana Agriculture University and a fellow of The World Academy of Art and Science in California, stepped out of his classes to look for innovations. The Shodh Yatra was one such campaign, which he started in 1998. There have been 38 Shodh Yatras thus far. In 1988-89, Prof Gupta established the Honey Bee Network (HBN) to nurture grassroots innovations. Prof Gupta also established the Society for Research and Initiatives for Technologies and Institutions (SRISTI) in 1993 and Grassroots Innovation Augmentation Network (GIAN) in 1997 to scale up and convert grassroots innovations into viable products. In 2000, he set up the National Innovation Foundation (NIF) which has collated a database of more than 225,000 technological ideas, innovations and traditional knowledge practices from 585 districts of the country. Last year, Gupta played a key role in creating Prayas, a school for underprivileged children, which is now run by IIM-A students. Professor Ashish Nanda, director of IIM-A, hailed Gupta as a giant among academics. "His innovative thinking, action-oriented research, practice-sensitive teaching, innovative course development, and empathy to the capacities and needs of the grassroots together make him a unique individual. IIM-A acknowledged his contributions to the institute and society by recognizing him last year as the outstanding researcher on the faculty," Nanda said. "Retirement is but a signpost on life's journey. Nobody at IIM-A can imagine Anil retiring from his pursuits. As he continues with his multiplicity of projects, Anil has promised to maintain close ties with IIM-A. We are grateful and confident that the institute will be the richer from his ongoing engagement," added Nanda.
- Now, CBSE to hold Central Teacher Eligibility Test only once a year
NEW DELHI: The appointment eligibility examination for class I-VIII teachers or CTET will be held just once a year instead of the current practice of conducting it twice. The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has been conveying it to the HRD Ministry that it is overburdened with the responsibility of conducting multiple exams-- including the JEE-Main and the NEET for under-graduate engineering and medical courses respectively. The Board had recently proposed doing away with the practice of conducting the National Eligibility Test (NET), for recruitment of assistant professors, twice a year. "When all major competitive exams are conducted once a year, why Central Teacher Eligibility Test (CTET) or NET should be conducted twice? They are massive-scale exercises which require massive resources and in a way reduce seriousness of candidates since the fear of wasting a year isn't there," a senior official told PTI. Following consultations among officials from the CBSE, the HRD Ministry and the National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE), it has been decided that CTET should be conducted only once, the official added. At present, the exam is conducted twice every year-- February and September-- and approximately nine lakh applicants appear for it annually. It has, however, not been decided yet as to in which month the exam will be conducted now. "The arrangement of the CBSE conducting NET and CTET is likely to continue till the proposed National Testing Service (NTS) is set up by the government for the conduct of all exams," the official said. Proposed by the HRD Ministry, the NTS will be set up as an independent body dedicated to conducting entrance tests for higher education. "The proposal of conducting NET once is in a very nascent stage. No decision has been reached on it yet," he added.

- A city that rarely needed fans now depends largely on ACs
PUNE: Temperatures in the city have been hovering around 40°C for the past few weeks, making it impossible for people to step out in the sun. However, senior citizens who have lived in Pune for more than four decades remember they barely needed fans even a few years back. However, today a fan is not enough to keep oneself cool and an airconditioner has become a huge necessity. Madhukar Pawar (75), a retired professor who came to the city almost 40 years ago, today needs an AC to sleep peacefully. But he remembers a time when the houses were as tall as the trees or even less. "This ensured the houses remained under the shade. But today, buildings are much taller than trees and remain exposed to the sun, making it unbearable to stay without an AC or a cooler," he said. He also remembers that suburbs like Katraj, Aundh, Kothrud were like small villages, which had less population and more trees. This ensured there was breeze even during summers. Nirmal Mehta (76), a retired bank employee who has spent his life in Pune, said, "In the seventies, when I used to go to the bank on a bicycle, the tree canopies were so thick that sunlight hardly reached the ground. But today neither the canopies nor the pleasant weather exist." Back in the 1950s, Pune and Bengaluru were classified as "non-fan" stations, and fan was more a luxury than a necessity here, said Major General S C N Jatar (retd), of Sadashiv Peth. "These days it is impossible to even step outside during summer but then nobody stopped kids from playing in the sun," he said. Air Marshal Bhushan Gokhale (retd) recalls that during his days as a cadet at the National Defence Academy (NDA), there were no fans in rooms. Architect Avinash Sowani, who has studied the changing face of Pune, said it was a different world then. "There were more trees, less people and less traffic. There were 'wadas', traditional dwelling houses, that had thick walls and courtyards, which kept the houses cool," said the 61-year-old architect. He said the city has changed so much over the years that it has become impossible to recognise most areas. "Vitthalwadi on Sinhagad Road, which is on the bank of river Mutha, once had a beautiful landscape, which attracted a lot of artistes who sat on the banks to paint. Today, the green cover around the place has been torn to shreds. If this continues, temperature will increase more. We have evolved from a city that never needed fans to a city that cannot survive without ACs," he said. (With inputs from Neha Madaan and Sandip Dighe)

- BEd seats in IGNOU reduced by 98%: JD(U)
PATNA: JD (U) functionary and deputy leader in the state assembly Shyam Rajak on Saturday accused the central government of reducing the number of BEd seats by 98% at the Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) centres across the state. "The central government has reduced the B.Ed seats to only 25 at IGNOU's Patna, Bhagalpur, Saharsa and Darbhanga centres. We will not tolerate this injustice towards Bihar," Rajak said and added he would write to the Union HRD ministry and PM Narendra Modi, urging them to roll back their decision. Rajak said the seats were reduced on the ground that BEd course could not be run effectively in distance study mode. "It is just an excuse. The state needs quality teachers to improve the educational scenario," he said. According to IGNOU's Patna region assistant registrar Rajesh Sharma, there are only 25 BEd seats in Bihar and Jharkhand (Ranchi and Deoghar centres) for the past two years. "We had 1,000 seats, which were reduced in 2015 as part of reforms made by the National Council for Teacher Education," he said.

Point Gallery: Jennifer Davey: What You Believe Is What You See
Jennifer Davey, "What You Believe Is What You See," oil, chalk and collage on board.
Bob Compagna
An ambitious painting solo at Point Gallery, Jennifer Davey: What You Believe Is What You See, features a nice selection of recent abstract paintings by Jennifer Davey, a Loveland-based artist.
Davey's style references classic modernism — in particular, abstract expressionism and color-field abstraction. Most of these pieces sport wide swaths of paint applied horizontally and vertically, creating intersecting bars of color that alternately reveal or obscure the painted layers she's done below. Davey also incorporates scribbled automatist lines and spells out words across the picture plane with stenciled letters. Many of the works rely on pentimenti, the illusionary "ghosts" of under-painted passages showing through to the surface; some of this semi-hidden imagery suggests representational subjects like buildings or landscapes. But when when you look closer, it's apparent that the forms Davey creates are non-objective — in spite of the fact that she has written that, as a Colorado native, the Western scenery informs her work.
As is always the case at Point, the exhibit has been well laid out by gallery co-directors Frank Martinez and Michael Vacchiano. The show runs through September 30 at Point, 765 Santa Fe Drive. For more information, call 720-254-0467 or go to pointgallerydenver.com.

Our New Covenant
Having grown up as a Jewish kid on the east coast, people often ask me when did I "convert" to Christianity? Understand that there really is no conversion. Some people like to call it being a "completed Jew". I tend to think of it more as a progression.
One can never stop being Jewish. Being Jewish is not only a set of religious beliefs, but it's also a nationality, almost like a race. Besides, we have a very rich heritage and history. When people ask me what is my nationality, I tell them I'm Jewish American. When they ask me what is my religion, I tell them Jewish by heritage, Christian by faith! I remind my Jewish friends and family members that Jesus himself was Jewish and His disciples were all Jewish as was the apostle Paul.
And it was the Old Testament Jewish Prophet Jeremiah who first spoke of God's promise of the coming New Covenant, when he wrote:
"The time is coming" declares the Lord "when I will make a New Covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah. It will not be like the covenant I made with their forefathers when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt, because they broke my covenant…declares the Lord." – Jer. 31: 31-32
You see, that was the problem with that first covenant. It became a broken covenant.
And the prophet continues:
"This is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after that time," declares the Lord. "I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts" – Jer. 31: 33a
That first covenant was written on tablets of stone. This New Covenant is written on the tablets of our hearts!
"I will be their God and they will be my people" declares the Lord, "for I will forgive their iniquity and I will remember their sin no more!" – Jer. 31: 33b, 34
This brief, yet exciting passage from Jeremiah is one of my very favorite scriptures as it provides a clear link to my Jewish Heritage and our Christian faith. Please share it with any Jewish friends and family members.
On a more personal note, please accept my ongoing sincere gratitude for allowing me the amazing privilege of serving here at Cornerstone. I love you all!
Pastor Jeff

A simple family man is forced to take up arms after an evil sorcerer unleashes an army of bloodthirsty beasts that destroy his small village and capture his beautiful wife. As the marauding forces overrun the land in an effort to overthrow the king and his loyal magus, the once peace-loving peasant and his two companions venture into perilous, uncharted terrain on a daring rescue mission.

This Lord of the Rings wannabe gives fantasy adventures a bad name.
Based on the videogame Dungeon Seige, we enter another otherworldly realm, the Kingdom of Ehb, where an unspeakably evil army called Krugs rampages across what was an idyllic, peaceful world, destroying everything in its path. Controlled by an equally evil wizard named Gallian (Ray Liotta), it looks like the land, ruled by King Konreid (Burt Reynolds), is indeed in trouble. But when Gallian and his Krugs cross paths with simple family man Farmer (Jason Statham), kidnapping his wife (Claire Forlani) and killing his young son (don't worry, you don't see it), Farmer decides to get medieval on their asses. They never knew what hit 'em.
While Statham can turn any action movie into his own personal fight club (i.e. The Transporter, Crank), he is sadly misplaced in Middle Earth, er, In the Name of the King. It's like he simply walked off The Transporter set and into Medieval Times with a simple wardrobe change--and that's about it. Same man of few words. Same Cockney accent. Same kick-ass moves. Not that he isn't still effective with a sword, but we'd rather see him in Armani suits, driving fast cars. What's really surprising is everyone else in the movie. Reynolds as the king to rule them all? Liotta as the big, bad wizard, chewing up scenery and slinging books around like it's no one's business? Kind of embarrassing. There's also Ron Perlman (Hellboy) as Farmer's crotchety ally; Matthew Lillard (Scooby-Doo) as the weak-willed next in line to the throne; and John Rhys-Davies, who takes off the Lord of the Rings dwarf costume and plays a wizard this time. Obviously, they all wanted to be in LOTR and this was the closest thing they could get.
Again with the videogame adaptations--when are they going to learn their lesson? And why on earth do they keep letting director Uwe Boll make these adaptations, such as Alone in the Dark and BloodRayne--and now In the Name of the King? I suppose Boll has his own obsession with Lord of the Rings (or he wants to channel director Peter Jackson), stealing shot after shot from that glorious fantasy-adventure trilogy. The Krugs look like Orcs; Gallian's domain looks like Mordor; female forest warriors are oddly reminiscent of LOTR Elves, and so forth. There's even a shot of the protagonists walking on a mountain range, for heaven's sakes. Nothing about this movie is original. But oddly enough, it's the cinematography that gives In the Name of the King somewhat of a boost. Even if you're bored to tears, there's something to look at.

The magazine concept evolved into a major Canadian home decor brand. With the development of many successful brand extensions, including books, merchandise, a television show and website, Cobi's role expanded to Vice President of H&H Media. In addition, she acted as Editorial Director of Gardening Life Magazine.
After an enormously successful tenure at H&H, Cobi has now developed her own lifestyle brand. Her connection with readers and consumers is unmatched in the marketplace and she is thrilled about re-engaging her loyal fans with a vision of her own.

On Thursday night, coach Mike McCarthy said that the Packers were trying to trade the injury-prone wide receiver, but there were no takers. Instead, the Packers placed Ferguson, in his seventh season, on waivers, and cleared more room under their salary cap. Ferguson was due to count $1.7 million against the team's salary cap this season.
"We thank Robert for everything he has given to the Packers," Packers general manager Ted Thompson said. "In addition to his contributions on the playing field, Robert has been a positive influence in our locker room and a good teammate. As with any veteran player who has been here, we wanted to make this move early because this gives him the best chance to catch on with another organization in the NFL."
The Packers' second-round pick in the 2001 NFL draft, Ferguson played in 60 games for Green Bay over the past six seasons, catching 116 passes for 1,577 yards and 12 touchdowns.
Some reports have indicated that the Houston Texans have shown interest in Ferguson. Former Packers coach Mike Sherman is offensive coordinator for the Texans.

The Hour Glass Limited is a leading premier luxury watch retail group in Asia and an avid supporter of local heritage. At a fundraising auction organised by eminent Swiss watch manufacturer - Patek Philippe, The Hour Glass successfully won a closed auction bid for an exceptional hand- crafted cloisonné enamel dome table clock for S$1M. The "Farquhar Collection", a one-of-a-kind exceptional creation by Patek Philippe, was inspired by the William Farquhar Collection of Natural History Drawings, a treasured collection of the National Museum of Singapore (NMS). These works were commissioned in the early 19th century by William Farquhar, Singapore's first Resident and Commandant. Full proceeds from the auction were donated to the National Museum of Singapore to enhance the museum's exhibition offerings and programmes. In addition, The Hour Glass supported the Asian Civilisations Museum Gala with a cash donation, which would go towards funding the museum's exhibitions and programmes.
The National Heritage Board is honoured to have the support of The Hour Glass. The Hour Glass' donations have contributed to raising awareness of our nation's rich heritage, and have been greatly beneficial in strengthening the heritage efforts of NHB.
For more than 175 years without interruption, Patek Philippe has been perpetuating the tradition of Genevan watchmaking. Thanks to its exceptional know-how, Patek Philippe maintains a tradition of innovation hailed by an impressive repertoire of more than 100 patents.
In celebration of SG50, Patek Philippe created and donated three commemorative hand-enamelled dome table clocks to the National Heritage Board (NHB). The designs of these 3 unique rare handcrafts were inspired by aspects of our local heritage -- the William Farquhar collection of Natural History Drawings in the National Museum of Singapore (NMS), the Peranakan culture and the iconic facade of the Esplanade amidst a backdrop of fireworks which captures quintessential aspects of Singapore culture. In addition, Patek Philippe hosted a gala dinner, during which the three clocks were auctioned, fetching record bids. Full proceeds of the auction were generously donated to various divisions of NHB.
With a farsighted vision to preserve local heritage for future generations to appreciate, Patek Philippe's contribution has helped to further raise awareness of Singapore's heritage and culture through this unique tribute to Singapore.
The National Heritage Board owns and operates the following museums, interpretative centres, heritage institutions and precincts.
