<br /> An intermediate science student at <keyword id="1404079" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="60" keywordseo="Khariar-College">Khariar College</keyword> in <keyword id="190801" type="CITY" weightage="60" keywordseo="Nuapada">Nuapada</keyword> district of Odisha, Lachman has used the silicon of the notes to create energy. He has exposed the notes to direct sunlight and that’s how silicon produces electricity.<br />
<br />
This is a proven theory in science. According to why-sci.com, silicon is a semiconductor. When sunlight strikes the cell, the cell absorbs some of the energy of the light. This influx of energy knocks loose electrons from the silicon atoms, allowing them to move freely. Photovoltaic cells also contain one or more electric fields that force free-flowing electrons to flow in a specific direction in order to generate an electric current.<br />
<br />
And that’s what Lachman has done. The exposure of silicon circuit to sunlight produces 5 volts of electricity. He has created a transformer with electric wire that can save the charge from silicon.<br />
<br />
If stored in battery, this can generate power for 24 hours, claims Lachman. Son of labourers manages expenses of studies by selling bulbs at local market.<br /> An inquisitive learner of science, Lachman thanks his teacher <keyword id="3971092" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="pravat-kumar-parija">Pravat Kumar Parija</keyword>, who taught him about this theory. After demonetization he thought of making use of Rs 500 note that was scrapped of circulation.<br />

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Justin Dowling and Ann Claire Crawford had a surprise wedding on March 3, 2023.</li><li>They documented the event with a video that was filmed like an episode of "The Office." </li></ul><p>Justin Dowling and Ann Claire Crawford never imagined getting married after they met online and fell in love in 2017.</p><p>As Crawford told Insider, both she and Dowling had been married before they met, so they didn't think it would be right for them. But when the pandemic hit, the Texas-based couple started rethinking things.</p><p>"We started talking more about entertaining the idea of getting married just in case we need to make medical decisions," Crawford said. </p><p>Over brunch on a trip to St. Louis in April 2021, they decided they would get married, but Crawford had one caveat: She wanted the wedding to be a surprise.</p><div type="image" title="A bride leans her head on her groom's shoulder in front of a floral archway." height="1105" width="1473" msid="99072584" hostid="261"></div><p>"Justin was immediately in love with the idea. We decided on a date right there in the restaurant," Crawford said.</p><p>They planned their surprise wedding for March 3, 2023, telling their loved ones they would be getting married at the courthouse on March 23 and inviting them to their "engagement party" on their actual wedding date.</p><p>Only their closest friend John Moore, who would officiate the wedding, and their friend Tye Shirley, who hosted the wedding at her venue <a href="https://towering-oaks.com/">Towering Oaks Event and Retreat Center</a>, knew what would really happen.</p><div type="image" title="A sign at a wedding." height="1554" width="2074" msid="99072585" hostid="261"></div><p>"Our families didn't know, the wedding party didn't know, and the guests especially didn't know," Crawford said. </p><p>After they welcomed everyone to the event, Crawford quickly changed into a wedding dress, and the couple surprised their guests with their wedding ceremony.</p><p>They even managed to have a wedding party, providing aprons with prints of dresses and suits on them to make the group look uniform. Crawford said her maid of honor uses it daily to cook.</p><div type="image" title="A bridal party poses with a kissing bride and groom." height="1333" width="1778" msid="99072588" hostid="261"></div><p>Although the event was a surprise to their guests, Dowling and Crawford had planned it painstakingly with the help of <a href="https://cmpromotions.co/">CM Promotions</a>. They also hired <a href="https://www.instagram.com/aprilpintophotography/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">April Pinto Photography</a>, <a href="https://babeschicken.com/catering/">Babe's Chicken</a>, <a href="https://www.andysfloralevents.com/">Andy's Floral Events</a>, <a href="https://www.picturethisdfw.com/">Picture This DFW</a>, and <a href="https://www.dallaseventaudio.com/">Dallas Event Audio</a> to make the wedding happen.</p><p>They also tapped <a href="https://virtureelproductions.com/about">VirtuReel's</a> Michael Perez and Rachael Burleson to document the surprise wedding, though they didn't want a traditional wedding video.</p><p>To go along with the fun energy of the day, Dowling and Crawford requested VirtuReel film a mockumentary-style wedding video inspired by "The Office." </p><p>"'The Office' is our favorite TV series. Justin and I have a tradition that every Christmas day we watch every Christmas episode of 'The Office,'" Crawford said. "We are constantly quoting it, and our absolute favorite episode of the series is Jim and Pam's wedding."</p><p>Crawford thought it would be fun to create their own wedding mockumentary, and Dowling loved the idea.</p><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/cD9XeVeesVs" frameborder="0"></iframe><p>VirtuReel released a trailer of the full episode, which includes clips of the couple talking directly to the camera, a montage of scenes of the wedding set to "The Office" theme song, and clips of their wedding party wearing their aprons.</p><p>During the event, Dowling and Crawford were also given awards for being the best actor and best actress at a surprise wedding, nodding to the <a href="https://www.insider.com/couple-gave-their-bathroom-a-makeover-inspired-by-the-office-2020-4">Dundie Awards</a> on "The Office."</p><p>"Justin, John, and I gave them a list of questions to ask the guests and they interviewed them throughout the night," Crawford said of how they helped VirtuReel create the mockumentary video. "We filmed scenes before the guests arrived for the episode."</p><p>VirtuReel had never taken on a project like this before Dowling and Crawford's wedding, the videographers told Insider. </p><div type="image" title="A bride and groom hold up trophies as they kiss." height="3000" width="2000" msid="99072590" hostid="261"></div><p>"They explained their vision, and we were honestly pretty nervous to attempt filming this way," Perez and Burleson told Insider. </p><p>"Luckily for us, Ann Claire and Justin absolutely delivered on the first scene we put together," they told Insider. "That set the tone for the day, and we knew then that this might actually work — and their video might actually be hilarious."</p><p>The teaser of the wedding video VirtuReel shared on <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@virtureelproductions/video/7213864127712841002?_t=8ayJB6h3JiU&amp;_r=1">TikTok</a> on Friday has already amassed over 1 million views, to Crawford and Dowling's shock. </p><p>"I never even dreamed our surprise 'Office'-style wedding would go viral," Crawford said. "We had so much fun planning and partying with our family and friends. We just wanted everyone to be surprised and have a great time."</p><p>Perez and Burleson said they plan to release the full episode on Dowling and Crawford's wedding on the VirtuReel social-media channels once it's finished.</p>

Suddenly, Jim admits to Pam that he's in love with her. Although she initially rejects him, he tearfully says, "I just needed you to know. Once."</p><p>Director Ken Kwapis decided that the crew should hide the cameras so that the two wouldn't be able to see them, making an already important scene feel even more vulnerable to the actors.</p><p> "I remember genuinely being extremely nervous," Krasinski admitted. "I think I had interpreted it as the biggest scene I had done on the show. Something to that level of intensity was like super terrifying to me and I remember being like, 'Hey, bro. Remember when you thought you were an actor? Tonight ruins that whole mirage.'"</p><p><div type="image" title="The Office PAM" height="718" width="957" msid="75741697" hostid="261"></div></p><p>He also joked that he was able to pull off the parking lot scene because he could relate to what Jim was going through in that moment.</p><p>"In my high school yearbook, I have every single girl in the school being like, 'Thank you so much. You were the shoulder to cry on. You were such a good friend when I was in love with Adam,'" he said. "So when [Kwapis] was like, 'Hey, do a scene about the love of your life having another guy instead of you,' I was like, 'Bro? It's called my default setting.'"</p><p>"People always ask about the kiss, but this was the scene we worked hardest on. And it makes sense to me," Fischer added. "Saying 'I love you' is such a vulnerable thing, and you do it so honestly, John."</p><h2>Fischer wrote in her script that Pam told her mom she thought she was in love with Jim</h2><p><strong><div type="image" title="the office pam" height="1282" width="1709" msid="75741700" hostid="261"></div></strong></p><p>After Pam initially turns down Jim in the parking lot, we see her in the office, discussing what has just happened with her mom over the phone. We never hear what Pam's mother is saying — Fischer said that she wasn't actually talking to anyone while filming the scene, but she prepared for it nonetheless.</p><p>"I invented in my head what the dialogue was, and I had written down in my script for what I thought my mom was saying to me so that I would have good reactions, and I was going through it in my head as I was doing the scene," she explained.</p><p>The actress added that many fans had written in asking what Pam's mom had asked her when she says, "Yeah, I think I am."</p><p>"I had written in my script that my mom asked me, 'Well, sweetie, are you in love with <em>him</em>?'" Fischer said. "And that I answered, 'Yeah, Mom, I think I am.'"</p><h2>The actors were purposefully kept apart before the scene, which Krasinski said was his first 'acting' kiss</h2><p><div type="image" title="jim and pam first kiss" height="717" width="956" msid="75741703" hostid="261"></div></p><p>The moment at the very end of "Casino Night" where Jim walks into the office and kisses Pam was strictly planned and choreographed during filming.</p><p>The two actors had multiple meetings with Kwapis and "The Office" creator Greg Daniels beforehand to discuss all the details of how the scene would play out, such as to what extent Pam would kiss Jim back.</p><p>Fischer also remembered that the crew purposefully kept her and Krasinski apart for an hour before filming the kiss, in order to build tension.</p><p>"We never rehearsed it on stage together," Fischer said. "And I remember they brought me to set. All the lights were dim, there was no one around, it was super eerie."</p><p>Although the kiss was undoubtedly a big deal for Jim and Pam, it also marked an acting milestone for Krasinski.</p><p>"That was my first acting kiss ever," he claimed.</p><p>"It's not even a big kiss, it's a little kiss," Fischer noted. "But it's the perfect kiss."</p><h2><strong>Fischer previously revealed on the podcast that she and Krasinski disagree about when the couple's actual first kiss occurred</strong></h2><p><div type="image" title="the office jim pam kiss season 2 premiere" height="939" width="1252" msid="75741706" hostid="261"></div></p><p>On the season two premiere ("The Dundies"), a drunken Pam accidentally kisses Jim on the lips, in what some fans believe was their first kiss.</p><p>The cast had varying opinions — Kinsey thinks that it is, but Fischer insisted that the couple's first kiss was in "Casino Night," the season two finale.</p><p>"The intention was that Pam was going for his cheek, and it was one of those moments where he moved his head in a way that I wasn't expecting and I just followed through," <a href="https://officeladies.com/episodes/2019/12/04/episode-7-the-dundies">Fischer said</a>. "That was what was in my head as Pam, so I wasn't thinking that I was intending to kiss his lips… Pam kind of doesn't register it."</p><p>"John said that Jim, who is not drunk, was very aware that they just kissed on the lips," she added. "This was a whole conversation that we had off-camera."</p><h2>The kiss scene was filmed so that viewers couldn't see Pam's reaction. The cast also had to wait to find out what would happen next in her and Jim's relationship.</h2><p><div type="image" title="the office jim pam" height="1200" width="1600" msid="75741708" hostid="261"></div></p><p>Citing the episode's DVD commentary, Kinsey noted, "[Cinematographer] Randall Einhorn said that he really wanted it to end so that you couldn't see Pam's face. So you never knew what her reaction was after that."</p><p>"We were not told what would happen to [Jim and Pam]," Fischer added. "It was a cliffhanger to the cast as well."</p>Read the original article on <a href="https://www.insider.com/john-krasinski-jenna-fischer-pam-jim-first-kiss-office-ladies-2020-5">Insider</a>
