For a song takes on a meaning
When it beats in the veins
Of a man who will die singing
"A people united shall never be defeated." These were the words that united a movement of song that swept through Chile and brought in the first democratically elected socialist government. This movement, known as La Nueva Canción, "the New Song," had its roots in Argentina during the dictatorship of Juan Perón, when artists such as Atahualpa Yupanqui and Mercedes Sosa worked to reclaim the traditional music of their country. The well-known Chilean folksinger Violeta Parra brought these songs to Chile.
In 1965 Violeta's two children – Angel and Isabel – started a small café where folk artists could meet, sing, share ideas, and write songs. The Parras introduced songs from other Latin American countries, as well as the indigenous instruments of the Altiplano – the quenas, zampoñas, charangos, and bombos. The songs written at the Parras' café told of the difficulties the poor faced, but also of their hopes and dreams. One artist who visited their café was Victor Jara.
Jara was born in 1932 in a small village fifty miles south of Santiago, Chile's capital city. The village and all its surrounding land belonged to an estate – owned by a single family – on which his parents were laborers. In order to survive, peasant families had to work long hours. Jara remembered lying on the ground looking at the stars while the men worked and his mother played her guitar and sang, passing on to him the folk music of her country.
As an adult, Jara became a theater director in Santiago, writing music on the side. When asked by a journalist why he gave so much of his time to singing, he answered:
I am moved more and more by what I see around me … the poverty of my own country, of Latin America and other countries of the world. I have seen with my own eyes … the disintegration that war causes to human beings …
But I have also seen what love can do, what real liberty can do, what the strength of a man who is happy can achieve. Because of all this, and because above all I desire peace, I need the wood and strings of my guitar to give vent to sadness or happiness, some verse which opens up the heart like a wound, some line which helps us all to turn from inside ourselves to look out and see the world with new eyes.
After the election of Salvador Allende on September 4, 1970, it seemed to many Chileans that a window had opened for them to let in the light. At last the great majority of working people could take possession of and enjoy their own country.
The next three years saw a veritable explosion of culture in Chile. New Song artists, actors and dancers traveled to the poblaciones and villages all over the country to participate in enormous song festivals.
But such a dramatic political shift had its difficulties. Internally, there was an undercurrent of resentment from those who had lost much under the new government. Unrest, strikes, and rioting grew. Despite the idealism that had attended Allende's election, his new government did not have the means to quell the unrest, and the speed and radical nature of his reforms made him enemies among Chile's most powerful citizens.
Jara knew what he could expect if Allende were to be violently overthrown: his own death. This can be felt in all his last songs, but his wife Joan remembers that, far from being sad or depressed, he was full of energy and even happiness – as well as a sense of urgency.
Jara felt he had to finish a song he was working on before it was too late. It is his testimony to what he believed in and would die for:
I don't sing for love of singing,
Or because I have a good voice
But for the statements made by my honest guitar—
For its heart is of the earth
And like the dove it goes flying
Tenderly, as holy water
Blessing the brave and the dying.
So my song has found a purpose
As Violeta Parra would say.
Yes, my guitar is a worker
Singing and smelling of spring.
My guitar is not for killers
Greedy for money and power,
But for the people who labor
So that the future may flower.
For a song takes on a meaning
When it beats in the veins
Of a man who will die singing
Truthfully singing his song.
On September 11, 1973 tanks and trucks rolled through the streets of Santiago, as a military junta, led by General Augusto Pinochet took over the country.
Anyone who was known to have supported Popular Unity was rounded up. Thousands of people – workers, doctors, teachers and university students – were forced into the two large sports stadiums of Santiago. One stadium alone held between five and seven thousand people. Here people were beaten and tortured – among them Victor Jara.
In his last hours in the stadium, Jara composed a poem, which others memorized and smuggled out of the country:
There are five thousand of us here
In this small part of the city.
We are five thousand.
I wonder how many we are in all
in the cities and in the whole country? …
How much humanity exposed to hunger, cold, panic, pain,
moral pressure, terror, and insanity? …
O God, is this the world that you created,
for this your seven days of wonder and work?
How hard it is to sing
when I must sing of horror.
Horror which I am living,
horror which I am dying …
Silence and screams are the end of my song.
What I see, I have never seen.
What I have felt and what I feel
will give birth to the moment …
On September 16, 1973, as Jara wrote down the last words of this poem, for which he already had a tune, he was taken away to be tortured. He was kicked and beaten and his hands and wrists were broken. Then an officer gave him his guitar, taunting him to sing. Jara did sing, raising his voice to sing a verse from the Hymn of Popular Unity – Venceremos! – We shall overcome. Then he was shot to death.
Victor Jara was one among the ten thousand killed before December.
In her account of her husband's life, Joan Jara recalls going to the morgue to identify his mutilated body, and then leaving, with her two daughters, for England. She writes that, as she boarded the plane, "I was filled with a sense of an unfinished struggle, the struggle of people who were peacefully trying to change their society, obeying the rules that their enemies preached but did not keep. I felt as though I were not one person, but a thousand, a million … the agony was not only a personal one, it was a shared agony that linked so many of us, even though we were forced to separate."
But it wasn't only pain that bound all these people together. Most of all it was their love, for their country and for each other. Victor Jara's love gave him the courage to sing and speak out in the face of danger, and hope in the face of impossible odds. He died a horrible death, but his song lives on: "My song is a free song. / It waits to give itself to anyone who holds out his hand. / My song is a chain, without beginning, without end. / And in every link you'll find the song of all other people."

Exodus 35
Tree of Life Version
Parashat Vayakhel
Offerings for the Tabernacle
35 Then Moses assembled all the congregation of Bnei-Yisrael and said to them, "These are the words which Adonai has commanded you to do. 2 Work is to be done for six days, but the seventh day is a holy day for you, a Shabbat of complete rest to Adonai. Whoever does any work then will die. 3 Do not kindle a fire in any of your dwellings on Yom Shabbat."
4 Moses also said to all the congregation of Bnei-Yisrael, "This is the word which Adonai commanded saying: 5 Take from among you an offering for Adonai. Whoever has a willing heart, let him bring Adonai's offering: gold, silver and bronze; 6 blue, purple and scarlet cloth; fine linen and goat hair; 7 ram skins dyed red, sealskins and acacia wood; 8 oil for the light, spices for the anointing oil and for the sweet incense; 9 onyx stones, and setting stones for the ephod and for the breastplate.
10 "Let every wise-hearted man among you come and make everything that Adonai has commanded, including 11 the Tabernacle, its tent and its covering, its clasps and its boards, its crossbars, its pillars and its bases; 12 the Ark and the poles, the atonement cover and the curtain screen; 13 the table and its poles with all of its utensils, along with the bread of the Presence; 14 also the menorah for light with its utensils, its lamps and the oil for the light; 15 the altar of incense and its poles, the anointing oil, the sweet incense, and the screen for the entrance of the Tabernacle; 16 the altar of burnt offering with its grating of bronze, its poles and all its utensils, the basin and its stand; 17 the hangings of the courtyard, the pillars and their bases, and the curtain for the gate of the courtyard; 18 the pegs of the Tabernacle and of the courtyard, along with their cords; 19 the woven garments for ministering in the holy place, the holy garments for Aaron the kohen and for his sons, to minister as kohanim."
20 Then all the congregation of Bnei-Yisrael departed from before Moses. 21 Everyone whose heart stirred him and everyone whose spirit was willing came and brought Adonai's offering for the work of the Tent of Meeting and for all its service as well as for the holy garments. 22 So they came, both men and women, everyone whose heart compelled him, and brought nose rings, earrings, signet rings, bracelets, and all kinds of golden jewels—everyone who brought a wave offering of gold to Adonai. 23 Everyone who had blue, purple, scarlet, fine linen, goat hair, ram skins dyed red or sealskins brought them. 24 Everyone who could make a contribution of silver or bronze brought Adonai's offering, and every man who had acacia wood of any use for service brought it. 25 Also all the women who were wise-hearted spun with their hands, and brought what they had woven—the blue, purple, scarlet and fine linen. 26 All the women whose heart stirred them up with wisdom spun the goat hair. 27 Also the leaders brought onyx stones and setting stones for the ephod and for the breastplate, 28 along with the spice, the oil for the light and for anointing and for the sweet incense. 29 Every man and woman whose heart made them willing gave toward all the work that Adonai had commanded to be done by Moses' hand. So Bnei-Yisrael brought it as a freewill offering to Adonai.
30 Then Moses said to Bnei-Yisrael, "See, Adonai has called by name Bezalel son of Uri son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah. 31 He has filled him with the Ruach of God, with wisdom, understanding and knowledge, in all manner of craftsmanship, 32 to make ingenious designs, to work in gold, silver and bronze, 33 as well as cutting gemstones for setting, wood carving, to make all kinds of skillful craftsmanship. 34 He has also placed in his heart the ability to teach—both he and Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan. 35 He has filled them with wisdom of heart to forge all the works of an engraver, an artisan, and an embroiderer in blue, purple, scarlet and in fine linen, as well as weaving—they can perform every craft and ingenious designs.

The Drive
We stayed one night in Ohio during our drive from St. Charles, MO, to Grand Island, NY…and look who happened to be in the area! It's so nice to meet up with friends unexpectedly. Kit was visiting some family in the area and stopped by early in the morning to see our rig and say hi before we took off to finish our drive. She even brought us coffee!!
The Park
Branches is a beautiful campground. Every morning we walked the trail that looped around the outer edges.
The Family
We spent some most of our time with my Mom and Grandma. Grams is getting up there in age so it was so nice to spend a little time and just be present with her. There was also a rather large bar-b-que at my Uncle Dale's house where we celebrated my late grandfathers life and said our final goodbyes.

Our Pick of the Best Turbo Trainers
Turbo Trainers are not just for winter and offer you flexible training all year round. We bring you a round up of 5 of the Best Turbo Trainers 2023. With each of them we give you everything you need to know about the features available and how much to pay for them. Helping you go faster with indoor cycling to keep your fitness up. We share best prices for each along with any discount codes we have available to get you the best prices.
Originally published in 2020 we have refreshed all the content in light of availability, prices and product releases.
What is a Turbo Trainer?
A turbo trainer is essentially a stand to support your bike at the rear wheel and a resistance unit driven by the rear tyre. A smart turbo trainer has a resistance unit with built-in electronics that communicates your speed to a device. Some smart trainers also include power meters so you can train by that metric too.
What is a SMART Turbo Trainer?
The latest breed of smart trainers have the ability to be controlled remotely by software on a device. This could be your laptop, tablet or even your phone. The app on your device controls the resistance so you don't have to manually control the this with gearing. Below we provide a selection of the best trainers some that take full control and others that you need to manage yourself.
Unlike riding outdoors you can also gather a stack of data about your ride that you would ordinarily not have access to. The information can include your power output which would normally need a hugely expensive power meter.
What sort of connectivity do they have?
Key connectivity to ensure you have is ANT+ FE-C capability. The system was developed by Garmin. It is used for speed sensors, heart rate monitors and equivalent smart watch peripherals. The FE-C element stands for Fitness Equipment Control. This will enable control fitness equipment such as turbo trainers.
Which Turbo trainer to buy?
Tacx Neo 2T Smart turbo trainer
The Neo 2T is the latest trainer from Tacx replacing the original smart trainer that shared the same name.
It still is one of the largest trainers with regards footprint but the ability to fold it neatly away still makes it suitable for those of us who can't afford to have a dedicated training space at home. It's also easy to fold and set up quickly but it, like some of the other trainers, lacks some form of carry/hand hold so manoeuvring it around can be a bit awkward. It has lost weight compared to the original but still weighs in at just over twenty one kilos.
Weight: 21.5kg
Connectivity: ANT+, Bluetooth Smart
Max Resistance: 2,200W
Max gradient simulation: 25%
Flywheel: Electromagnetic
Compatibility: Campagnolo/Shimano/SRAM 8-12 speed
Thru-axle compatible: with adapter supplied
Best Prices for the Tacx Neo 2T
Saris H3
The H3 sits at the top of Saris's smart turbo trainer range and builds on the popular H2.
Reducing the noise levels was one of Saris's top priorities and it's certainly achieved good things with the H3. Ride feel is good, with the stout 9kg flywheel contributing to a very realistic experience. The H3 is capable of 2,000 watts of power and 20 per cent gradients. Power figures were within the claimed +/- 2 per cent accuracy, which should be more than enough for most riders.
Weight: 21.3kg
Connectivity: ANT+, Bluetooth Smart
Max Resistance: 2,000W
Max gradient simulation: 20%
Flywheel: Direct Drive
Compatibility: Campagnolo/Shimano/SRAM 8-12 speed

Flywheel: Magnetic

We reviewed the Elite My E-Training App that is recommended by Elite for their Smart turbo trainers. It is cheap. Really cheap. But is it any good and worth considering instead of the market leader Zwift?

Getting a therapeutic massage always feels good. But it also offers a host of benefits, including relieving stress. If you are wondering why this is the case, here are some of the ways that a therapeutic massage in Calgary can help you reduce your stress.
Four Ways A Therapeutic Massage Reduces Stress
Relax Tense Muscles
Being cooped up in an office and car a lot of the day subjects your muscles to unnatural strain. This increasing muscle tension aggravates stress levels, so it's not wonder you might feel more stressed at work or while you're driving. Massage therapy works to counter this tension by helping the muscles relax, reducing stress.
Aid the Release of Serotonin
Serotonin is a chemical in the body that helps regulate mood. The higher your levels, the better you feel. The lower the levels of serotonin in your body, the more likely you feel anxious and depressed. You can see how lower levels affect your stress. Getting a therapeutic massage in Calgary will help trigger an increase in serotonin levels, which helps to alleviate anxiety and stress.
React to Human Touch
It's a natural instinct for humans to respond to a caring touch. This is obvious in the way a baby quiets down when caressed by its mother, but it's truer in adults than most people realize. The sensation of being massaged by another person is soothing and helps lower blood pressure, promote circulation, and improve other bodily functions. These factors together also help reduce stress.
Improve Sleep Cycles
Therapeutic massage relaxes the body and helps trigger the release of melatonin. This hormone regulates sleep in humans; it helps the body fall asleep and increases the duration of the deep sleep necessary for the body to recover from injury and stress. Getting good sleep helps reduce the stress that tends to build up over time.
Dealing with stress is a part of life, but that doesn't make it easy. Thankfully, therapeutic massage in Calgary is a great option for helping you reduce stress and tension levels. If you're feeling stressed, schedule some massage therapy today; you'll be glad you did.

Law of the Land - Real Estate Litigation NewsletterMarch 3, 2022 – Publications / Mentions
Brossi, et al. v. Town of Grafton Planning Board, et al., No. 19 MISC 000551 (MDV), 2021 WL 5833935 (Mass. Land Ct. Dec. 9, 2021)
The Massachusetts Land Court recently held that a planning board improperly failed to explain the basis underlying a denial of a special permit and site plan approval when it was inconsistent with the board's own prior decisions.
In Brossi, developers sought a special permit and site-plan approval for a multi-family residential condominium consisting of eleven buildings on a 9.1-acre site at 41 Church Street and 14 West Street in Grafton, MA (the "Project"). The Grafton Planning Board (the "Planning Board") issued a decision denying the requested approval (the "Denial Decision").
The Planning Board, a municipal board authorized to issue special permits pursuant to the Town of Grafton's Zoning Bylaw (the "Bylaw"), determined that the Project did not comply with five subdivision regulations. The Planning Board voted to waive four of the five regulations, but decided without an explanation not to waive compliance with a regulation outlined in 126.96.36.199 regarding length of dead-end streets (the "Dead-End Street Regulation"). It then denied the Project for failure to comply with the Dead-End Street Regulation.
The developers challenged the Denial Decision on two grounds. First, the developers argued that the drives found by the Board to violate the Dead-End Street Regulation were not subject to that regulation. Second, the developers contended that the Planning Board's refusal to grant a waiver from the Dead-End Street Regulation was arbitrary and capricious in that it marked an unreasonable departure from the Board's prior practices in similar cases. Although unconvinced by the developers' first argument, the Court based its decision, vacating the Denial Decision and remanding the case back to the Planning Board for further proceedings, on the second argument.
The Land Court found that in 2003, the Planning Board waived the Dead-End Street Regulation for a very similar project, a multi-family development known as Hill View Estates I ("Hill View"). In reviewing the developers' application, the Planning Board was aware of its waiver for Hill View, but did not explain why it chose to treat the Project differently than Hill View. Although a local board generally does not need to provide detailed findings when it denies a special permit, the Land Court held that the board must do so in circumstances where the board "has taken one action with respect to one application, but is thinking of doing something substantially different with respect to a later application." The Land Court held that the board must explain why it is issuing a different decision with respect to a project "or risk that a reviewing court will remand the case to the board for an explanation."
Symes Dev. & Permitting LLC v. Town of Concord, No. CV 21-10556-NMG, 2022 WL 95945 (D. Mass. Jan. 10, 2022)
The U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts recently held that a temporary condition imposed by the Town of Concord Planning Board (the "Planning Board") on the approval of the subdivision plan for Symes Development & Permitting LLC ("Symes") may constitute an unconstitutional taking in violation of the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution.
In June 2020, Symes applied to the Planning Board for final approval of an 18-lot subdivision plan. The Planning Board conditioned approval of the plan on Symes' reservation office of the building lots for three years for possible future uses by the Town as a public park and sites for affordable housing. The Planning Board's decision meant that Symes could not use, disturb, or improve these lots in any manner for three years without further Planning Board approval. Symes sued, claiming that the Planning Board's decision imposed an unconstitutional condition for which the Town failed to provide adequate compensation, seeking compensation for the taking. The Planning Board filed a motion to dismiss, arguing that the reservation condition imposed on Symes did not constitute a taking because it was temporary. The Court disagreed and denied dismissal of the suit.
The unconstitutional conditions doctrine prohibits the government from requiring a person to give up a constitutional right, including the right to receive just compensation when property is taken for a public use, in exchange for a discretionary benefit from the government, such as zoning relief, where the condition has little or no relationship to the benefit. While the government may condition land-use permit approvals on mitigation of the impacts of proposed developments, "it may not leverage its legitimate interest in mitigation to pursue governmental ends that lack an essential nexus and rough proportionality to those impacts." Municipalities, are therefore, required to conduct an individualized assessment of the relationship between the proposed project and the conditions imposed. The Court found that by alleging that the Planning Board regulations do not require, nor did the Board make, findings of any nexus between the condition and impacts of the project, Symes adequately stated an unconstitutional taking. Furthermore, the Court held that the temporary nature of the reservation period did not negate the takings claim asserted by Symes, given that temporary takings are no different in kind from permanent ones.
Flemming v. Greystar Mgmt. Servs., L.P., No. 20-P-1274, 2021 WL 4998680 (Mass. App. Ct. Oct. 28, 2021)
The Massachusetts Appeals Court recently sided with a landlord and vacated a decision of the Massachusetts Housing Court, which found that animal rent charged by the landlord violated M.G.L. c. 186, § 15B, the "Massachusetts Security Deposit Statute."
Plaintiff Phoebe Fleming ("Fleming") sued her former landlord, Greystar Management Services, L.P. ("Greystar") claiming that Greystar violated the Massachusetts Security Deposit Statute and M.G.L. c. 93A by requiring her to pay an additional monthly "animal rent" for the right to keep dogs in her apartment. She also claimed that other provisions of her lease with Greystar, i.e. the authority for Greystar to charge late fees, reletting and buyout fees, and attorneys' fees, also violated these statutes.
The Appeals Court held that the Massachusetts Security Deposit Statute does not prohibit landlords from charging animal rent because it was neither charged in advance of the current month's rent nor constituted an additional security deposit intending to keep the apartment free from damage. Rather, it was additional rent, which the tenant agreed to pay, in exchange for the right to keep a dog in the apartment. Although Fleming provided a litany of reasons as to why it should be illegal for landlords to charge extra rent for pets, the Court stated that such arguments are best directed to the Massachusetts Legislature.
The Court also agreed with Greystar that Fleming lacked standing to challenge the lease provisions allowing the landlord to charge reletting and buyout fees because it was undisputed that Greystar did not charge Fleming these fees, and as such, Fleming sustained no injury. The Court noted that M.G.L. c. 186, 15B(1)(d) does not prohibit landlords from charging reletting or buyout fees as such fees do not constitute rent demanded in advance or an additional security deposit. The Court also noted, that the attorneys' fee provision did not violate M.G.L. c. 186, 15B(1)(d) and was not otherwise unlawful.

By guest contributors Brittni Mehlhoff, and Jenny Batt.
Similar to guest posting, being a freelance contributor can help you grow your blog – no matter the size of your current following. The difference between guest posting and being a contributor is frequency. Contributors write posts for sites on a regular basis, while guest posting is usually for a limited time.
As unique as individual blogs are, the types of things to write about when freelancing are vast. You can be a DIY/tutorial or recipes contributor, create roundups or inspiration collages, share your latest tales of adventure, and even contribute video or audio.
If you want to grow your blog's readership and/or turn blogging into an eventual career path, being a contributor for the right sites can help you do that. More importantly, it can help you grow faster than you would on your own. Here's how:
When you write for a site with a larger readership than your own, or even just a different audience than your own, you are being introduced to new readers. Most of these readers may have never found you otherwise. Make sure your post contains a link back to your site so that interested readers can click through to your blog, and bookmark your awesome site for later. Before you know it they will start pinning the original content they find, add you to their feed reader, and the visitors to your site will begin to multiply.
Your visibility on larger blogs is also helpful in landing more freelancing work and publicity. Large brands and magazines might not read your blog, but they are reading the heavy hitters. If you can get your name and work showcased on those large blogs, you will get your work in front of important eyes. If they like what they see, they will be contacting you for work or features in the future. This leads to more visits to your blog, and pretty soon you aren't so little anymore!

Cryogenic liquid piston pumps for cold liquefied gases like LIN, LOX, LHe, LH2, LNG, LAr
Industry and Research Institutes
Ulrich Zerweck-Trogisch
Feeding pumps for cryogenic liquid gases
The ILK has developed a modularly constructed pump that can deliver cryogenic liquefied gases like LN2, LO2, LHe, LNG, LAr and others. Thanks to the building block principle tailor-made solutions can be offered by the combination of pump drives of different power categories together with geometrically optimized pump heads to satisfy the individual requirements of volume flow, pressure build-up and conveyed medium.
Designed as piston pump it is characterized by comparably slow stroke speeds. That low pace eliminates or reduces the tendency towards cavitation as flow resistances and accelerating forces are reduced to a minimum.
Owing to its special design and the material combinations used the linear drive can be operated at deep-cold temperatures. It is mounted between the cylinders of the piston pump and is immersed and submerged directly in the cryogenic liquid gas. By avoiding rotating parts a conventional lubrication with oil and grease becomes needless, this allows for an almost maintenance-free operation.
The pumping cylinders are arranged on both sides of the linear drive. The valves are integrated into the cylinder heads. For each application they are customized for the required flow capacity and the physical properties of the medium to be delivered (regarding density, viscosity and cavitation tendency).
The design as double-acting piston pump facilitates an extraordinary high dynamism of the delivered volume flow. The (constant) speed of the linear drive can be varied in a wide range to generate an even volume flow. An intermittent operation is easily possible and allows for a high pump efficiency even at partial-load situation close to zero. Adverse effects like increased heat input or limited start-stop-cycles do not occur.
Due to the easy possibility to immerse and submerge in the cryogenic liquid to be fed, the piston pump is excellently suited to e. g. circulate the cryogenic cooling liquid along a superconducting power line in a hermetic piping system. Another application can be found in the dispensing of cryogenic liquid into transport dewars as the pump eliminates the need of artificial evaporation of the medium for pressure build-up during filling.

It's no secret that Bristol is one of the best cities in the world when it comes to graffiti.
With some of most recognisable pieces adorning various walls around the city created by the likes of Banksy and others, you could easily spend a whole day traipsing the city in search of the numerous creations.
And now, thanks to another local artist, some brilliant graffiti-based artwork can be seen right in the city centre, in a location chosen by shoppers.
Cabot Circus has unveiled the new art installation created by Paintsmiths in the shopping centre's upmarket quarter, Quakers Friars.
Spelling out 'Bristol' with the city's local landmarks and attractions inspiring the design, including the Clifton Suspension Bridge and Bristol International Balloon Fiesta, it's a welcome addition to the heart of the city and the ideal spot to sneak a selfie in while shopping with friends - a selfie which could earn you £100.
Shoppers are encouraged to post their selfies with the artwork behind them to social media using the hashtag #GertLushSelfie to be entered into the draw for the shopping voucher.
Amy Tout, marketing manager of Cabot Circus, said: "I am excited to see the Bristol Letters come to life, shoppers made a great choice in choosing their favourite design.
"Bristol is a diverse and vibrant place, and as a destination in the heart of the city we want to celebrate our colourful landmarks by creating something for people to enjoy."
The installation will be in place for a limited amount of time and can be found in Quakers Lane, between Broadmead and Quakers Friars.

Bartenders are on notice. So are dinner hosts, and anyone organising after-work drinks, dinner or early-evening catch-ups. The alcohol trend of the moment is about to break, thanks to Johnnie Walker, and it's going to shape the way we drink, eat, and socialise for the rest of 2021. And the word is: Highball.
You already know what a Highball is even if you think you don't. Basically, any combination of a spirit, a carbonated mixer and ice in a tall glass is a Highball. Think an Americano or an Aperol Spritz. But this year, it's all about the Johnnie Highball.
Some people don't think about Scotch whisky as a mixing drink – but that's old-school thinking. Practically Prehistoric. Whisky is the cornerstone of some of your favourite cocktails: Old Fashioneds, Manhattans, Whiskey Sours, Mint Juleps. But a Johnnie Highball is much simpler to make, and it's a drink that's perfect to start your evening with – pre-dinner, in a bar or at home – or even to pair with a meal.
Johnnie Highballs are easy to make at home, and your friendly neighbourhood bartender is more than happy to make you one. Simply take 30ml of Johnnie Walker Scotch Whisky – Black Label is best – add your mixer, fill to the top with ice (lots of ice) and garnish as desired. It's the ideal way to get acquainted with the world of whisky, liven the aperitivo moment and explore the rich, full flavours of Johnnie Walker Black Label.
There are four kinds of Johnnie Highballs you should know about.
Johnnie & Blood Orange Highball combines smoky, earthy Johnnie Walker Black Label with Pimm's No.1 (for caramelised orange flavours) and blood orange soda, topped up with ice and garnished with a blood orange wheel. It's the perfect balance of fresh tasting citrus that's not too sweet, with a smoky whisky cut through.
Johnnie Walker Black Label joins forces with lemon barley cordial (Bickfords cordial has a savoury edge that enhances the Scotch) to make the Johnnie & Lemon Highball. Top up with soda water and ice for a super-fresh, citrusy, smoky drink that's fruity and complex. Don't forget the lemon peel garnish – presentation is everything.
The crowd-pleasing Johnnie & Crisp Apple Highball is a mix of Johnnie Walker Black Label, cloudy apple juice, crisp apple kombucha, ice and a green apple slice for garnish. It's a delicious and fresh-tasting twist on the classic flavour combination of apple and whisky.
And the classic Johnnie & Ginger has the spice of ginger ale to balance out Johnnie Walker Black's smoke, plus plenty of ice and a chunky lemon wedge.
As a 'built' drink without any stirring, shaking or straining, Johnnie Highballs are simple to make, but impressive enough to earn you cocktail cred with your besties. They're crisp, clean and balanced, which makes them a prime palate cleanser, and they're not too sweet, which makes them great with food.
Johnnie Walker is the world's number one premium Scotch whisky – enjoy it at its best in a Johnnie Highball with friends and food. Keep walking.

Refinance: What Are The Differences?
Have you wondered what the difference between all the refinance options are? This report will break them down for you, so you can see which would work best for you.
With interest rates at record lows there has been a lot of talk about how right now is the best time to refinance. If you've looked into it, you might have heard of a few different types of refinances mentioned. The first being to just refinance an existing loan, or to do a "Cash-Out" to pull money from your existing home. Then there is the HARP program created by the government to help people who have tired to refinance before, but weren't able to. Depending on your situation or what you are looking to do with a refinance this report will help you understand the difference so you can figure out which one is right for you.
Refinancing Your Loan– When you refinance you basically obtain a new loan to pay off an older one. The main purpose to refinance your loan is to get a lower interest rate, which means you spend less money each month on your mortgage. When you purchase your current property there was a certain interest rate that you got. Now with interest rates at record lows, there is a big chance that the rate you got then is higher then they are now. Because of that you could be paying more for your home with that old loan then you could with a refinanced loan.
If you are looking to take advantage of historic low rates, so you can lower your monthly mortgage payments you need to look at a refinance loan. Here are few options for a refinanced loan:
- 15-year refinance loans. Fifteen-year refinance loans are a popular option if you've paid off part of your existing mortgage and don't want to restart the clock on a new 30-year refinance loan. Fifteen-year refinance loans generally offer a lower interest rate, but have a higher monthly payment than 30-year refinance loans.
- 30-year refinances loans. Refinance loans with a new 30-year term may be a good choice for you if you want to lock in a fixed interest rate, but don't want to commit yourself to a higher payment.
Whether you choose a 15-year or 30-year refinance loan, consider the total interest expense as well as the new interest rate and payment.
Cash-Out Refinance– If your home is worth more than you owe on the existing mortgage you can use a cash-out refinance loan to gain access to extra cash. You can't get a cash-out refinance loan if you owe more than your home is worth.
For example if you owe $80,000 on a home valued at $200,000 it has $120,000 in equity. That equity can be liquidated with a cash out refinance loan providing the loan is larger than $80,000.
If you need the extra cash to pay off debts, pay for home improvement projects, a child's college, or even a vacation a cash out refinance is for you.
HARP Refinance-The Home Affordable Refinance Program or HARP 2.0 is a newer program started in 2009 that can help you refinance if a traditional refinance hasn't worked for you because your home's value has declined. This is not a program for you have not been paying your mortgage payments. This is a program for you if you have been responsible with your mortgage payments and also not missed a payment in the last 12 months. Now because of the decline in the price of your home, you have been stuck and not able to take advantage of saving money on their mortgage with a refinance. Rates are at historic lows, so the HARP program has been created so more people can take advantage of them and lower their monthly payments.
Contact us today and we can figure out which refinance program will work best for you.

6 thoughts on "AP declares Golden State the winner"
I don't understand this one but if AP says it's so then it is so!
It relates to AP declaring Clinton and Trump the winners of their party's nomination before the official delegate counts at their conventions, per my earlier post.
I understand that what I don't understand is the punchline of the cartoon. It's meaningless to me
The finals of the National Basketball Association are in progress (best 4 of 7 games wins). The Golden State Warriors are playing the Cleveland Cavaliers. In the cartoon, AP is predicting Golden State will score enough to win the championship. Right now the Warriors are leading the series 3-1. (And it was only 2-1 before tonight.)
If super delegates were all like Donald Trump, to whom a promise is like a leaf in the wind, then the prediction would be a calamity. That's not true yet, but I somehow feel we're headed in that direction.
For the good of the country, I certainly hope so.

Thank you so much. It only took a moment to comment, but your words will last much longer than that. The money raised ( $78!) is enough for me to purchase several books from the Flying Horse Farms Wishlist. I will lovingly tuck a copy of all of your comments between the covers, and your words will trot off to find new friends.
Dear Campers,
Here's to books and horses and kids (young and old) who love both!
Because of YOU, I see horses everywhere I go, and every horse book I see, I want to buy and send your way. Keep smiling!
There's no such thing as too many horses, too many books, or too many books about horses.
May your love of reading and riding inspire you to create a story all your own! Happy Trails.
A book is a buddy you can take in the house when the horse stays in the barn! Ride on! Read away!
Giddyup libraries!
I read Black Beauty when I was very young and it broke my heart. I wanted to save every horse in the world. There is something about horses and books - or horse stories in books. You have Beauty and My Friend Flicka and National Velvet and The Black Stallion and Misty of Chincoteague and on and on. You could have a library just of horse stories! (Not that you have to, but you could.... :)
Campers, enjoy the horses and the books. Just not at the same time, no reading while riding.
When I was a teenager, my brother rode horses pretty seriously but I didn't. Sometimes I'd go along with him just to kill time - pet the horses noses and curl up on the hay with a book. Occasionally, I could ride and he'd teach me some basics. And it was fun. But one day, I got to gallop - to really let the horse loose on a big stretch of field. Wow! It was absolutely amazing being part of that speed and energy. I hope you find some of that excitement at camp and can take it home with you to remember for a long time.
May you find joy, laughter and the freedom of being yourselves at this wonderful camp. Hurray for horses and great books!
Campers, may the book you're meant to read find you! Enjoy the horses, the outdoors, and the world of the imagination.
Enjoy every moment! Ride like the wind. :~)

There is a beautiful story about gods and music. Apparently, gods became very unhappy with the earthlings because of strife, wars and general anarchy in the world. They came to earth and told earthlings that they will destroy them. However, gods wanted to give earthlings a chance so they asked them to give a single reason why they should not be destroyed. "We have produced great beings like Buddha, Christ, Mohammed, etc. who have given us great teachings", said earthlings. Gods retorted that maximum number of human killings have taken place in the name of religion. Earthlings then recounted the great technological inventions that mankind has produced to which gods replied that there are still some 2 billion people living in tremendous hardship and poverty despite these inventions. The reasoning and response of gods stumped the earthlings.
Then somebody said, "we have produced great music". "Let us hear it", gods replied. The world music including Indian ragas, and western classical music like Bach, Beethoven etc. was played. After listening to the profound music, tears started flowing down the cheeks of gods. "Enough", they said, "you have earned your freedom and right to live". Great music affects humans and gods alike in a deep way. It calms the mind and produces a great sense of well being and euphoria. One also gets a similar experience during deep meditation and samadhi.
In the beginning was the Word. Almost all the great religions of the world talk about it. In Patanjali Yoga Darshan, Ishwara is defined as a special Being who is expressed by the original word Pranav. What that original word was nobody is sure though in major Yoga commentaries it is called
Music affects brain at different levels. Our moods change with different types of music. However, at a very deep level its effect is similar to that of deep meditation. Probably it is a reason why all great religions have stressed music as a means for praying and meditation.
Indian classical music – one of the oldest musical systems of the world, has spiritual roots and is traced to Vedic hymns. Most of the Indian gods and goddess are shown to carry musical instruments. Similarly in other religions also, musical chants, hymns and other forms of music have been used since ancient times to sing the glory of God or to help focus the mind on the spiritual thoughts.
Why does music affect the brain in such a deep way and why does it help in meditation? Recent studies of brain using Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) have shown that some type of music activates neural pathways similar to those associated with euphoria and reward. These same pathways are activated in response to other pleasurable activities like eating and sex, which give emotional happiness.
Similarly in deep meditation, mind focuses on a single thought for a long time. Thus when contemplation, reflection and samadhi (together called Sanyam according to Patanjali Yoga Darshan) are done on a single thought for a fairly long time then it produces the sense of well being and happiness. In this process a major portion of the 100 billion neurons of the brain are being used in a laser like fashion for a single thought. This deep meditation process helps stimulate or "tickles" the pituitary gland, which gives the feeling of well being. The exact mechanism, though, is still not understood.
When we hear soul stirring music, we again get a feeling of well being. Thus, the soul stirring music and deep meditative thought has similar characteristics. The brain therefore appreciates and absorbs the soul stirring music by creating the same complex thought pattern as that during meditation. This is the principle of equivalence.
Similar effects are also seen for different types of music, which produce anger, sadness and other human emotions. It is therefore quite possible that neurological studies on effects of music will serve as a model for studying how brain works in general and at different levels of thought complexity. As we evolve intellectually and spiritually, we become increasingly tuned to emotionally satisfying music, since the brain becomes supple and is able to focus on a single thought for a long time. Then singing and poetry may become the major activities of vocal chords with speech being their by-product!
Even when we produce a great discovery or thought there is a general feeling of euphoria, happiness and production of goose pimples. There have been many celebrated cases in history like the cry of
Music can also play an important role in building a compassionate and creative society. In

Picture an azure lagoon, enclosed by a perfect crescent of powder white sand. Above you, birds sing and palm trees whisper in the soft breeze. No, it's not a cliché; you're thinking about one of the Islands of the Pacific.
Viewed from far above, the islands of the South Seas are mere specks – tiny morsels of heaven accidentally splashed across the vast blue canvas known as the Pacific Ocean.
Bora Bora, French Polynesia, Tahiti, the Cook Islands, Fiji – just the names alone conjure up images of deserted beaches, with thatched bungalows standing on stilts in turquoise lagoons. But if you talk to Gina – our expert consultant on the islands of the South Pacific - the dream destinations will suddenly come to life as reality. And, in reality, they are even more wonderful than you imagined.
Fiji with its scattering of gem-like islands populated by locals with flowers in their hair, welcoming you with their traditional 'bula' greeting. Can you really resist a cruise through paradise? Or Bora Bora, offering you lazy days, unforgettable evenings and world class resorts. Or the Cook Islands; a collection of 15 tiny islands where you can wonder at the natural flora both above and beneath the sea.
And perhaps the most famous of them all; Tahiti. A tropical garden with towering peaks, plunging valleys, cascading waterfalls and fabulous beaches.

Hello everyone, how're you all? I am down with terrible cold and irritated throat from last two days, Lesson learnt – Don't eat icecream when you can feel the cold coming. So today I am going to Review one more product from BBLUNT and it is their Climate Control Anti-Frizz Leave-In Cream.
BBLUNT Climate Control Anti-Frizz Leave-In Cream
This versatile cream ensures your hair looks great, however hot,dry or humid it gets out there. It enhances natural movement,smoothens and leaves you in charge, whatever the weather.
How to use BBLUNT Climate Control Anti-Frizz Leave-In Cream
Works best on damp, towel dried hair. Take a small quantity into your palms. Apply evenly, focusing on mid-lengths & ends, keeping away from the scalp. Style as desired.
BBLUNT Anti-Frizz Leave-In Cream comes in a pump style packaging, you have to twist the cap from 0 to 1 (shown in picture above) to make the pump work. It dispenses required amount of the product. I find the packaging quiet heavy, but no one can help it since it's a cream based product.
Price :- Rs. 175 for 50g | Rs. 450 for 150g | Buy it here on discount
My take on BBLUNT Climate Control Anti-Frizz Leave-In Cream
I have been using this product from almost a month now. I use it on my damp hair avoiding the crown area, I style my hair afterwards but never scrunch them because I don't like curls/waves. It makes my hair look sleek by eliminating frizz for initial hours though the effect doesn't lasts for long. The frizz comes back after my hair has dried completely. I won't say that I am disappointed with this product because somedays it really works but other days, it just doesn't. I actually loveeee its flowery smell, I'll give it a plus point for this! I hope that BBLUNT India will come up with a revamped version of this product which will have better lasting effects. If your hair isn't that dry or frizzy then it might work for you so try the mini version first and let me know about your experience with it. 🙂
The texture of this cream is a little runny but not problematic. It spreads evenly on hair and doesn't weigh 'em down. You need to be a little careful with the quantity otherwise you will end up with oily hair (and you will cry until next hair wash :P).
What I like about BBLUNT Climate Control Anti-Frizz Leave-In Cream :-
- Packaging is hygienic to use (and carry).
- Smells good.
- Doesn't weigh down hair.
What I like don't about BBLUNT Climate Control Anti-Frizz Leave-In Cream :-
- Its effect doesn't lasts for long.
- Doesn't help to control flyaways.
Final Words
Overall, it's a good product from BBlunt which can help you to control frizziness of your hair until a certain point.

We wear them as airy tops in the hot summer or under blazers and blouses. Halter tops are a real classic that should not be missing in any women's wardrobe. Thanks to a variety of cuts and designs, every lady will find the right model for herself.
Tops with narrow, frequently adjustable straps are just the thing for trendy summer looks. They match the airy summer skirt, modern shorts and long pants. When it gets cooler in the evening, just put on a matching cardigan. The offer ranges from tight-fitting tops to wide-cut variants and long models that can be easily combined into leggings.
For playful romantic outfits tops in soft pastel tones come into question. High quality lace fabric or crochet elements on Tank emphasize the girlish style. A white skirt and crocheted ballerinas fit in that. If you prefer a more purist feel, you can opt for straight-cut straps in subtle colors such as white or gray. Simple Bermuda shorts complete the casual look skillfully. For the cool streetstyle you can look at colorful patterned models. They harmonize perfectly with sneakers, boyfriend jeans and a casual hoodie. Also on tops are floral prints or ethnic motifs.
The practical tops are not only a good option for everyday wear. Models made of fine fabrics, such as chiffon or silk, can certainly be worn in professional life. Depending on the dress code, however, only in combination with a blazer or cardigan. Alternatively, you can do a simple one Tank wear under a transparent blouse.

We're back this week with a more action-oriented installment of The Clone Wars and probably my favorite episode so far of the Onderon arc. I really dug the direction they took with the opening, having the Rebels jump into action against the Separatist Droids patrolling the streets, making themselves known to the town folk. The gigantic holograph was a neat effect, allowing Steela to broadcast herself around various points in the town.
This time around, the Jedi aren't the only ones sporting some spiffy robes. Lux dons one towards the end of the episode, and a good chunk of the episode has Saw wearing one of his own, which allowed for some sweet animation as he scaled the side of a building Spider-Man-style. Major credit to Filoni and crew for bringing robes into the Star Wars animated universe. You don't really realize how much you've missed them until you see them here on The Clone Wars.
The fact that King Dendup didn't quite agree with the rebels' tactics was a nice touch, too. He knows they mean well, but for this to all be "in his name" is a lot to take in. Ahsoka seeking guidance from Kenobi and Anakin via holo-communicator only stressed the inner struggle she's having. She feels responsible but has to resist the urge to intervene. I got a lot out of this short scene mainly because for me, personally, I'd have a hard time sitting back and watching if I was in Ahsoka's shoes, or montrals, as it were. (You'll have to forgive me; I find any excuse to use "montrals" in my reviews.) Anakin once again refers to her as "Snips", the 2nd time in this arc, as a nice call back to Ahsoka's past as a Padawan and now in a position of leadership. I hated the playful "Snips/Skyguy" name calling from the first seasons, but I now love how it's used in this context. Our little Ahsoka is growing up, which, at this point in the series, makes me even more fearful for her future.
Without getting into specifics, the finale was intense and action packed. For whatever reason, it was hyped online as to who was going to jump in and help save the day. The message boards had hopes for Hondo, because, well, Hondo is awesome. But, alas, that wasn't the case. I was impressed with Onderan's rather barbaric callback to the guillotine, represented as, you guessed it, lasers! How do we make the guillotine more futuristic? Better make it a laser. Strange, yes, but I totally dug it.
The end left us with bit of a tease, basically reassuring the audience that the "real battle is about to begin." I'm reminded of the Umbara arc, which I loved, mind you, but felt as if the writers were forcing themselves to stretch it across four episodes when it could have easily been three. Nonetheless, I am pumped for the final installment!

RADP Meet Scrapbook
RADP Meet Scrapbook
Disney Internet Fans from All Over the World Gather!
What, you may ask,
is a RADP meet??!!!
stands for rec.arts.disney.parks. It is a newsgroup on the Internet
where Disney fans from all over the world share stories.
I have been
on the newsgroup since 1995 and seen lots of changes during that time.
People come and go…but one thing remains constant…and that's the love
for Disney and the Mouse and Pixie Dust that many of us share!
We began
having organized meets in December 1996. Little did we realize
that first meet of 20+ people would grow, in 5 years, to over 400! That's
right, counting all the individuals that participated in the 2000 Fifth
Annual Holiday RADP Meet, we believe there were over 400 of you!
RADP Meets
have been attended by persons all over the World – from places as far
as Japan and Australia, to the United Kingdom, Germany,
Austria, all parts of Canada and the United States.
While the
majority of RADP meets take place in Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida,
other meets take place around the United States and Canada.
The first large meet outside of WDW actually took place at Niagara
Falls, Canada, in 1997. Since that time, there is now an annual meet
in Las Vegas, Washington DC, and North Carolina, to name
a few.
For those
who have attended and want to relive the memories and for those of you

If I had a hundred bucks to bet (and Lord knows I don't, as property taxes are due at the end of the month), I'd bet that on March 31, when the Astros open the season in San Diego, the lineup that Cooper runs out there will be as follows:
Barring injury, of course, and maybe realizing that there might be some grey area between Everett 7 Towles 8 and Towles 7 Everett 8.
But beyond that, you can write it down.
I'm not saying necessarily this would be the best lineup, but it's the one Conventional Baseball Wisdom would put out there, the one that someone who begins his sentences with "in all my years in the game" would hand to the umpire at home plate.
It's kind of sad to realize this, because totally apart from some of the lesser offensive talent that populates the lineup, it's a kind of stupid ordering.
Like, why put Michael Bourn at the top? I mean, I guess he's fast, but don't you want to put the guy with the best chance of getting onbase at the top? Dan Szymborski at Baseball Think Factory, in his ZIPS projections, suggests that Bourn is going to have a .314 OBP in 2008. Yet despite this alarming low rate, dollars to doughnuts, he's gonna be leading off on March 31.
Shouldn't you lead off with the guy who's best at getting on? Shouldn't you lead off with Lance?
Never happen of course, but there's a certain mathematically-based methodology that suggests that's exactly what the Astros should do.
I won't get into the whole background here, because I did back in March of '06, but suffice it to say that Cyril Morong and Ken Arneson were involved in the production of a program that suggests most attempts at lineup optimization fall way short.
I took Szymborski's ZIPS projections for 2008 and ran the program, and listed here are its ten best lineups in terms of run production. The number at the left is runs/162 games.
712.49 Berkman Lee Matsui Pence Wigginton Everett Towles Pitcher Bourn
712.18 Berkman Lee Towles Pence Wigginton Everett Matsui Pitcher Bourn
712.03 Berkman Pence Matsui Lee Wigginton Everett Towles Pitcher Bourn
711.92 Berkman Lee Matsui Pence Wigginton Towles Everett Pitcher Bourn
711.80 Berkman Wigginton Matsui Pence Lee Everett Towles Pitcher Bourn
711.72 Berkman Pence Towles Lee Wigginton Everett Matsui Pitcher Bourn
711.50 Berkman Wigginton Towles Pence Lee Everett Matsui Pitcher Bourn
711.49 Berkman Lee Towles Pence Wigginton Matsui Everett Pitcher Bourn
711.46 Berkman Pence Matsui Lee Wigginton Towles Everett Pitcher Bourn
711.32 Berkman Lee Bourn Pence Wigginton Everett Towles Pitcher Matsui
Morong's math may be right, but that doesn't mean Cooper's gonna bat Oswalt in front of Bourn. So here are the top ten lineups with the pitcher batting ninth
681.52 Berkman Lee Bourn Pence Wigginton Towles Matsui Everett PitcherIf Morong's to be believed, it's only 31 runs given up to the cause of baseball convention. The program ranks the top pitcher nine lineup at 25,530th overall.
681.40 Berkman Lee Bourn Pence Wigginton Matsui Towles Everett Pitcher
681.06 Berkman Pence Bourn Lee Wigginton Towles Matsui Everett Pitcher
680.93 Berkman Pence Bourn Lee Wigginton Matsui Towles Everett Pitcher
680.91 Berkman Lee Bourn Pence Towles Wigginton Matsui Everett Pitcher
680.88 Berkman Lee Bourn Pence Wigginton Everett Towles Matsui Pitcher
680.84 Berkman Wigginton Bourn Pence Lee Towles Matsui Everett Pitcher
680.71 Berkman Wigginton Bourn Pence Lee Matsui Towles Everett Pitcher
680.44 Berkman Pence Bourn Lee Towles Wigginton Matsui Everett Pitcher
680.42 Berkman Lee Matsui Pence Wigginton Towles Bourn Everett Pitcher
And it ranks the top lineup with the pitcher ninth, Berkman third and Lee fourth at number 56,486.
Says it would score 670 runs, or 42 less than number one. A small price to pay for doing things the way they're supposed to be done, right?
And lastly, it says that the lineup at the top, the one I think is most likely to be used on Opening Day, and I bet you agree with me, it says that lineup would score 659 runs.
That's 53 runs less than first-rated lineup would supposedly score. 53 runs! That's 5 wins!
That could win you a division!
To be honest, I'm not sure whether to believe these results or not. I see some of the logic, but I'm a little rusty on my Markov chains, and I have no way then to check the math.
But in thinking about this, I'm a little saddened to realize that we'll never know, one way or the other, because baseball is not forward thinking enough to try some of the more radical-sounding ideas out to see whether or not they'd work.
Instead, we'll see a fast guy who can't get on bat number one and our best onbase guy stuck four spots lower, the way it's always been done.
