LONDON， Aug. 21 (Xinhua) -- The biggest project in the world to mark the 400th anniversary of the death of William Shakespeare has opened in the place where the famous playwright lived and died.
Shakespeare's New Place in Stratford-upon-Avon has been created on the actual site where Britain's most famous storyteller spent the last 19 years of his life.
The 8 million U.S. dollar project has transformed a World Heritage Site on the spot where Shakespeare's house stood until it was demolished in 1759.
When Shakespeare bought New Place in 1597 it was the biggest house in Stratford， the town that would become a world mecca for fans of the famous Bard.
Dr Diana Owen， chief executive of Shakespeare Birthplace Trust， said: ""We're delighted to be re-opening the most important， permanent Shakespeare anniversary project anywhere in the world. Visitors can walk in his footsteps and experience a wonderful new imaginative garden on the site.""
Shakespeare's New Place opened Saturday， when its splendid new oak and bronze gateway greeted its first fans of the playwright.
As well as allowing visitors to walk in Shakespeare's footsteps， it enables people to explore a dramatic new landscape and exhibition， and meet the man behind the famous works， according to the trust.
""This is the place where Shakespeare had his family home for 19 years， and where he died four hundred years ago. Now the trust has transformed this internationally significant heritage site into a window on the world of William Shakespeare for the 21st century， "" said a trust spokeswoman.
CEO Owen added:"" The re-opening of Shakespeare's New Place means we can now tell the complete story of Shakespeare's life from boyhood to father， husband， businessman and playwright and of his enduring ability to inspire artists today. New Place is a stunning and innovative addition to the precious landscape of our beautiful historic town.""
Shakespeare was just 32 when he bought New Place in 1597， and it remained his family home until his death there in 1616. As the largest house in the borough， a prestigious residence with 10 fireplaces， up to 20 rooms， and extensive gardens.
Today's visitors can trace the footprint of Shakespeare's lost house， discovered during an archaeological excavation of the site， outlined in engraved bronze inlaid in the spectacular stone paving.
A swathe of golden plants in a bronze-clad raised border link the three zones of Shakespeare's mansion and enfold his original well which supplied water for the mansion.
Around the new garden specially commissioned sculptures conjure up the world that influenced Shakespeare， and his enduring influence in the world today.
A dynamic new permanent exhibition brings to life the story of Shakespeare's New Place and the personal life of its most famous occupant and his family - casting new light on Shakespeare as a father， husband， citizen of Stratford-upon-Avon - as well as the famous playwright.

There are several situations in which people need to take out a loan. There can be a family emergency Kevin Long Nationals Jersey , a medical requirement or just to pay previous debt. There is another form of loan that arises for the reason of maintaining standard of living and this is generally a credit card debt. With a credit card in hand a person tends to purchase more than what he should be, of and all these things together account for a bad debt. In such scenario people look for debt reduction and seek help from debt reduction companies.
Now, what the debt reduction companies do?
The first thing that is done by the companies is to gain a thorough knowledge of the debts and the interest rates. In some cases they ask the person if they are interested in debt consolidation, which is a process of consolidating the total debt into one account, which charges lower interest rates and thus paying them becomes easier for the person. Not only that, it is easier to remember one account rather than too many.
In the case that the debt is due to credit cards and the person has been paying the card company for a long time and not seeing any major difference in the amount payable, they should consult with the card company for negotiating the amount. It is sometime seen that the person had to pay 40 to 50 percent less than the original amount due. Not only that, they are given a time period ranging from 12 months to 60 months to pay the debt at a lower rate of interest and in equal EMI. In extreme cases, the person may be asked to go for bankruptcy, which negates the total amount but may be frustrating and time consuming. It is always better to look for a debt reduction company that considers bankruptcy as the last resort as that may bring on other problems as well.
If you decide to travel Europe for a while, be sure not to miss Amsterdam. Contrary to many believes, it is not only Red Light District and stoner coffee shops that make the city what it is 锟?there are many cultural, romantic and historical aspects to the city as well.
The good thing about Amsterdam is the general ambiance of the place. The city part of town is very compact and laid back and all major streets are separated by canals which are ever present throughout the city. The canals also mean that the major part of town is spared from heavy traffic and you can easily (albeit thirty-five to forty-five minutes from north to south) walk everywhere. Somewhat complicated is the way the streets are arranged. They follow the canals in a kind of pentagonal way, which will most likely get first time visitors lost. Make sure you bring a good map with you when you travel here.
