A kind-hearted Atlanta couple made the best out of a bad situation by donating their daughter's canceled wedding reception to the homeless.Carol and Willie Fowler decided that the first-rate meal they had reserved for Sunday, Sept. 15 at upmarket Villa Christina restaurant shouldn't go to waste — so they invited 200 of the Atlanta's destitute to join them. Bosses at Hosea Feed the Hungry charity initially thought the offer to feed their attendees a lavish four-course meal was a practical joke.

But the Fowlers, who have not revealed why daughter Tamara's nuptials were called off just 40 days beforehand, insisted they were sincere — and the event went ahead, albeit with a new list of invitees.

"We prayed about it. And when he woke up the next morning, he said, 'We're going to call Hosea Feed the Hungry and ask if we can donate it to the needy,'" she added.Many of the guests were not accustomed to the gold plates and crystal stemware at Villa Christina, nor the formal presentation of the food. “The passed hors d’oeuvre were very interesting because the children were wondering, ‘could we take the whole tray, or do we just take one off of the tray?’” said Elisabeth Omilami, CEO of Hosea Feed the Hungry.  “So this was an educational opportunity as well, because now they all know how to eat at a four-course meal and the etiquette involved in that.”

Mrs. Fowler said that Tamara was in attendance and also ended up enjoying herself. "We're very pleased that she's handling it so well. She was delighted to see and know others had an opportunity to enjoy something, rather than allow it to go to waste," Fowler added.

Omilami hopes that others will learn from the Fowler's example, and contact charities before letting an opportunity go to waste. "The event on Sunday demonstrated how as a community when we come together and live in harmony, we can make a difference. Today is an example of harmony. Hosea Feed The Hungry is very thankful to the Fowler Family and their heart for the poor." Omilami said in a press release. "It is a blessing that this family provided an experience for those who are less fortunate to enjoy an afternoon with their family at one of Atlanta's premiere wedding venues. We are so thankful for their generosity."The family dubbed the meal as "The First Annual Fowler Family Celebration of Love" and plan to host a similar event, paid for by sponsors, next year.

法登山客執百萬珠寶
==========

誠實交警方
=====

　【明報專訊】2013年9月28日 (六)

法國一名年輕人本月初攀登勃朗峰一個冰川時，意外發現一批價值數十萬歐元的珠寶，相信是數十年前印度空難死者留下的。

　這名登山客在冰川發現一個金屬盒子，裏面有多個小袋子，裝有祖母綠、藍寶石和紅寶石等一批珠寶，其中一些包裝袋上印有「印度製造」的標記。當地珠寶商估計這批珠寶價值約13萬歐元至24.6萬歐元（約130萬至250萬港元）。

　警方表示，發現「寶藏」的是一名誠實的年輕人，他認為這批珠寶應屬於在山上遇難的人，所以很快就將它們交給警方。根據法國法律，若找不到真正物主，這批珠寶最終會屬於該名年輕人。

　料屬空難印度乘客

　當局懷疑這批珠寶與數十年前在勃朗峰墜的兩架印度客機有關，1950年11月和1966年1月各有一架印度飛機在勃朗峰墜，分別造成48人和117死亡，此前也曾有登山者發現過這兩架飛機的殘骸及遇難者的遺骸和遺物。當局說，冰川移動令被埋的飛機殘骸浮現。
