Just how to prevent hazardous CBD products?
Lab checked With the increasing trend of CBD products, deceitful firms are being revealed for utilizing dangerous chemicals and dilutors in order to manipulate this spike in popularity. This causes higher profit margins for these firms while leaving the customer with a potentially hazardous item. However, not all companies are placing revenue prior to people; UrthLeaf has actually been recognized as a business that follows industry best practices by subjecting all of their items to strenuous lab screening. Recognizing that it is essential for their customers to get with confidence, UrthLeaf is excited to share the results from their newest series of laboratory testing: totally free of harmful chemicals generally discovered in bad quality CBD.
In the past year alone, three companies have been blacklisted by the FDA for unruly business techniques involving the manufacturing and sale of cannabidiol (CBD) products. In the past 5 years, a massive 48 U.S. business have actually been positioned on this exact list, receiving caution letters from the FDA to either abide or cease procedures with the laws and also ideal techniques that shield the customer. Urth Leaf CBD jobs made it clear that there is no area for damaging products in the U.S. cannabidiol markets, yet business continue to escape these shady organisation methods every day.
As Urth Leaf CBD wholesale of missing out” slips right into the CBD market, customers are unconsciously getting into these products while doing not have the proper tools required to determine the items most likely to consist of unsafe chemicals. With CBD casts having actually become the new trend in healthcare and medicine over the past few years, we have a look into what truly goes right into the products that have every person ranting as well as raving. According to Leafly, a preferred cannabis as well as cannabidiol magazine electrical outlet, two chemicals proceed to appear time and also time once more in laboratory examinations for specific CBD tinctures. These 2 chemicals are dextromethorphan (DXM) and 5F-ADB, which are 2 possibly dangerous chemicals in high doses. Dextromethorphan is an incredibly popular cough medicine recognized for its habit forming as well as violent actions, while 5F-ADB has a very similar chemical composition to the synthetic medication K2 (also commonly known as Flavor).
UrthLeaf firmly thinks that the public must not be left at night about these hazardous chemicals, which is why they have actually been completely clear regarding every active ingredient that enters into their items. In May 2019, extensive testing was carried out on UrthLeaf’s line of product by Cannalysis (Santa Clara, CA), a CBD/THC screening lab. After several tests, it was determined that UrthLeaf’s CBD line has NO toxic chemicals and is really 100% natural. No signs of DXM, 5F-ADB, or any kind of various other possibly hazardous chemicals were located, but instead pure CBD acquired naturally from hemp plants.
Why do firms still exist if they are marketing potentially lethal products to unknowing consumers? It is much a lot more successful to water down a CBD product with non-natural chemicals than it is to pursue the entirely organic route.
It is strongly recommended that consumers research the components in their CBD products prior to usage since it is really hard to see any type of temporary negative effects by utilizing pesticide or chemical-containing products, however the long term effects can potentially be fatal. The FDA is doing as high as they can to limit the variety of harmful firms entering this market, but ultimately it is up to the consumer to do their own research prior to choosing which item to buy.
Take the sure thing as well as acquire your next order of CBD products from UrthLeaf here.
Lab tested With the increasing fad of CBD items, illegal business are being revealed for making use of harmful chemicals and dilutors in order to exploit this spike in appeal. In the past year alone, 3 business have actually been blacklisted by the FDA for unruly service methods involving the production as well as sale of cannabidiol (CBD) items. As the “concern of missing out on out” slips into the CBD market, consumers are unconsciously purchasing into these products while doing not have the proper devices needed to determine the products most likely to include unsafe chemicals. It is a lot more successful to water down a CBD item with non-natural chemicals than it is to pursue the totally organic route.

Fleet Financial Group Inc. said it expects to report second-quarter earnings of $70 million, or 44 cents a share.
The results, which are above analysts' average 38-cent estimate for the quarter, compare with $50 million in profits reported for the first quarter and $27.9 million in profits earned in the second quarter 1991.
The Providence, R.I.-based company, which was $45.2 billion in assets, said it was particularly encouraged because results at all its subsidiary banks showed improvement.
It also said that it wuld post the first sizable decline in non-performing assets.
Although the company said earnings would include a $50 million gain from the sale of securities, up from the $17 million one-time gain it took in the first quarter, it said it would partially offset that with a $30 million addition to its loss reserve above the planned $100 million in chargeoffs.
"The bulk of [the $70 million in second-quarter earnings] are core earnings, reflecting a strengthening of the bank's net interest margin," Fleet chairman and chief executive Terrence R. Murray told the Dow Jones news wire on Tuesday.
Specifically, Mr. Murray said margins rose 0.1% to 4.7% in the second quarter.
He also said that nonperforming assets would decline $50 million to $70 million in the quarter, or 3% to 4%. They were $1.6 billion at the end of the first quarter, after a decline of $8 million.
Mr. Murray said Fleet is still thinking about selling a portion of its mortgage subsidiary through an initial public offering. However, he said it would not be more than 19.9%.

Read through the most famous quotes from Christian Dior
Time's obituary stated that he died of a heart attack after playing a game of cards.

Most Philanthropists Want to Remain Anonymous
30 May 2013 at 10:34 am
Most philanthropists would rather not publicise their giving or actively promote their causes, according to a report by Forbes Insights.
The BNP Paribas Individual Philanthropy Index: Measuring Commitment in Europe, Asia, Middle East found 77 per cent of survey respondents said they either insist on remaining anonymous or do not actively publicise their charity.
Described as the first index of its kind, the BNP Paribas Individual Philanthropy Index by Forbes Insights measures the commitment of individual philanthropists from Europe, the Middle East and Asia in terms of three main criteria: the amounts given, innovation and the effort invested to promote their causes.
The data for the index is derived from a survey of more than 300 individuals—divided equally among the three regions and with at least $5 million in investable assets—conducted by Forbes Insights between January and March 2013.
Additional interviews with ultra-wealthy philanthropists in these regions were conducted by Forbes Insights.
The survey found motivations for giving vary vastly by region, and are embedded in regional cultures and histories.
In the Middle East, religious faith is the top motivation (63%). In Asia, it’s the desire to give back to society (25%). In Europe, it’s equally family legacy, altruistic desire and a sense of duty (17% each).
The commitment measurement of individual philanthropists reveals Europe and Asia are at a halfway mark in their progress toward total commitment to individual philanthropy, while the Middle East is roughly a third of the way there, according to the BNP Paribas Individual Philanthropy Index.
“While the lower score in the Middle East presents an apparent paradox in light of the Islamic imperative toward charitable giving, this might be partly explained by the religious injunction to be discreet about one’s giving,” the report said.
Promotion is one of the factors measured by the Index.
The Index looked at promotion as a means to help the cause. None of the regions studied are even halfway there in terms of the reach of the maximum score.
The Middle East is the region where philanthropists are the most averse to talking about their philanthropy, scoring just 5.4 out of a possible 25 points. Europe is the most open region, scoring 10.4; Asia scores a slightly lower 9.8.
Sixty percent of survey respondents from the Middle East said that they insisted on anonymity about their giving, as compared with 38 per cent in Europe and 26 per cent in Asia.
Even though Europe has the highest promotion score, talking about your own giving is somewhat controversial.
“In Europe, for French, German or Belgian people, it’s still really personal. It’s bad manners [to herald one’s donations],” explains Nathalie Sauvanet, Head of Individual Philanthropy at BNP Paribas Wealth Management.
She says that people are just now beginning to feel more at ease when addressing peers about philanthropy, showing a bit less reluctance in this situation than in discussing their charities with the press or the general public.


The Asus ExpertBook B3 Detachable is a 2-in-1 Windows tablet designed for the business market, but it’s positioned as an entry-level device with an emphasis on portability over performance.
As such, the 10.5 inch tablet supports up to 8GB of LPDDR4x memory, up to 128GB of eMMC storage, and features a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7c processor.
Thanks to a detachable keyboard and support for an optional digital pen, you can use the tablet like a laptop or a writing & drawing slate. The pen supports Microsoft Pen Protocol 2.0 and slides into a garage in the tablet for safe keeping when you’re not using it.
So the tablet is versatile. It’s just not all that powerful, with the kind of specs you’d typically find on a Chromebook rather than a high-end Windows PC. In fact, the entry-level configuration looks even more Chromebook-like, with just 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage.
The tablet does have a few nice features including a 1920 x 1200 pixel IPS LCD touchscreen display, a 13MP world-facing camera and 5MP front-facing camera which should come in handy during Zoom calls, and a USB 3.0 Type-C port and 3.5mm audio jack.
Other features include stereo speakers, dual microphones, a 38 Wh battery, and support for WiFi 5 and Bluetooth 5.0. The tablet comes with a 45W USB-C power supply and there’s optional support for a keyboard with backlit keys.
The Asus ExpertBook B3 Detachable measures 260 x 172 x 9mm (10.2″ x 6.8″ x 0.4″) and the tablet weighs 630 grams (1.4 pounds), plus another 245 grams for the keyboard and 172 grams for the detachable kickstand which brings the total weight to 1.05kg (2.3 pounds).

Bitcoin showcased tremendous buying strength and potential during its recent push back from July 27. This action was short-lived as each attempt to breach key resistance levels based on previous pivot points and sellers are destroying the moving average. As its market capitalization nears USD 500 billion, selling action gets stronger as if whales have hedge bets on BTC remaining under the $24,000 mark.
Bitcoin’s first show of strength would be to trade above the May 2022 lows of $25,455. The emergence from this level would provide enough strength to buyers to take the value beyond the important moving averages and towards a higher target. The only shortcoming is the lack of buying rallies at the current resistance zone. Even the candle formations are strengthening the idea of another breakdown for Bitcoin, which would essentially mean a dark cloud for the entire cryptocurrency valuations.
Bitcoin price action shows dual possibilities: a positive breakout and another retracement to recent support levels of $20,000. Key levels are covered and explained in the price analysis below. However, if you need detailed predictions for the token, you can click here!
Bitcoin gained tremendously from its lows of June 2022. The profits got erased because of resistance, but despite higher selling action, the volatility is quite marginal, which indicates the buyer’s support for the price action. RSI is holding the sentiment between 50 to 60. It’s fairly neutral as per the sentiment, but buyers expect a repetition of the July 27 breakout buying trend. MACD is close to creating a bearish crossover, but strong buying action can create a bullish action.
Even on long-duration weekly charts, the BTC candle pattern is not strong enough to engulf the gains made on July 31, 2022. The broader trendline seems to be much more positive on weekly charts. The chart confirms the current week’s price action as the first clear and decisive positive candle. As such, the probability of a breakout towards a positive direction focused on the intent of reaching $24500 will restart soon.


Milan Lucic will not play tonight because of a broken finger. Lucic suffered the injury in last night’s second period when he threw a hit on Stephane Robidas in the corner. Lucic played sparingly in the third period. Claude Julien wasn’t sure, but he thought it was Lucic’s index finger on his right hand.
Guillaume Lefebvre will dress in Lucic’s place. Lefebvre will most likely serve as the fourth-line left wing, with Shawn Thornton switching to the right side. Blake Wheeler will probably switch back to left wing next to David Krejci, while Byron Bitz moves up to serve as the No. 2 right wing.
Lefebvre got the call at approximately 11:30 p.m. last night. Lefebvre drove from Providence to Boston, then took a direct flight to Phoenix that landed a short time ago. Lefebvre had been skating on Providence’s checking line with Drew Larman and Kirk MacDonald.

JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) – South African Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan has ordered an investigation into the tax collection authority, officials told parliament on Thursday, underlining rising tensions between the Treasury and the revenue agency.
Gordhan has expressed concerns at the leadership of the South African Revenue Service (SARS), saying earlier this week he could not vouch for the accuracy of the information it provided because of a lack of accountability and cooperation from its top management.
SARS said in a statement on Thursday it was concerned over the comments questioning the integrity of its leadership.
News of the latest investigation adds to the impression of a system in turmoil after months of tension between President Jacob Zuma and the finance minister, who himself survived a separate probe into allegations of fraud while he was the head of SARS.
The tensions have unnerved investors at a time when Africa’s most industrialized economy is stalling, with growth forecast at 0.5 percent this year by the Treasury.
An 8-member team set up by the Treasury to investigate governance at SARS said in a presentation to parliament, seen by Reuters, that it was studying whether the agency was sufficiently accountable and had the capacity to deal with illicit financial flows.
It was unclear when the probe was initiated, but Business Day newspaper quoted the head of the committee, Dennis Davis, as saying it had been carrying out its work for several months.
Davis could not be reached for comment at the number provided on the committee’s website. SARS spokesman Sandile Memela and Treasury spokeswoman Yolisa Tantsi did not immediately reply to telephone and email requests for comment.
“The implication is that he has a lack of confidence in the top leadership at SARS,” political analyst Daniel Silke said, referring to Gordhan.
Gordhan and SARS commissioner Tom Moyane, who was appointed in 2014 by Zuma, were at loggerheads earlier this year when Moyane refused to halt an operational turnaround plan that had been vetoed by the minister.
At the time, media reported that Gordhan had threatened to resign from the cabinet unless Moyane was removed from his role.

Barbados is often referred to as the Birthplace of Rum. You can make the case for cane spirits appearing elsewhere before Barbados–for example, in Brazil a century or so earlier, or even in India–but Caribbean rum as we know it today is considered to have started in Barbados, before spreading rapidly to other islands.
In October of 2018, I made my second spirited journey to Barbados. I’d learned a lot about rum in the five years since my prior visit, and I was determined to absorb as much rum knowledge as possible. On that front, it was a smashing success – I collected lots of facts, stories, and trivia, along with a radically reshaped perspective on how Barbados rum evolved over the centuries.
I have lots to share about the individual Barbados distilleries and their associated brands. But In keeping with my Cocktail Wonk habit of first creating island-specific “cheat sheets,” I wrote what follows to put as much essential history and other information out on the table first. I’ll link to specific distillery write-ups as they follow.
Elements of Barbadian Style
The essential character of current Barbados rums is frequently described as well-balanced and expertly aged; rums like Mount Gay XO, Doorly’s 12, and Plantation Barbados 5 are prime examples. This balance is achieved with a blend of pot and column distilled rum, with most blends having more column than pot.
Contrast this to Jamaica and Guyana, which are renowned for their pungent, heavy, pot-stilled rums. Likewise, in comparison to Spanish heritage rums like Bacardi or Havana Club, Barbadian rums offer a bit more heft and body, from the pot still components.
If you were to draw a rum flavor map as a triangle, with heavy pot still rums in one corner, light column still rums in another, and earthy agricoles in the third, the typical Barbados rum would sit somewhere in the middle. Classic Barbadian rums are refined and elegant, “middle of the road” rums, not hewing too far toward a particular extreme.
Barbados Rum History – The Early Years
Around 1627, the British colonized Barbados and were soon growing cotton and tobacco. By 1637, with the aid of the Dutch, sugarcane was introduced and turned out to be an extremely high value commodity.
By the 1640s, Barbados residents were distilling rum, or what was then called “kill devil,”–described as a “hott (sic), hellish and terrible liquor.” Theories differ about who first distilled on Barbados: Some say it was the Dutch arriving from Brazil, others contend it was the Scots and Irish. (I shall not attempt to reconcile that question here.)
After living on Barbados from 1647 to 1650, British author Richard Ligon wrote in detail about life in Barbados in 1657, including several pages on sugar cane processing and rum making:
The first time it comes over the helm, it is but small, and is called Low-wines; but the second time, it comes off the strongest Spirit or Liquor that is potable.
However, Ligon did not refer to the spirit as “rum,” but rather as “kill-divell.”
The earliest citable reference to rum on Barbados lands is found in a lease agreement for 150 acres in St. Phillip, dating to 1650:
four new strong mastick Indigo flats and four large mastick cisterns for liquor for Rum
Within a few decades, Caribbean rum was well underway. Production on Barbados boomed, as it did on neighboring islands like Jamaica and Martinique. As Foursquare master distiller Richard Seale says, “It is the scale that is important. Until about the 1680s, Barbados’ production of sugar and rum vastly exceeded the other islands.”
Distillation then was entirely using pot stills, as continuous distillation (e.g. the column still) wasn’t invented until the late 1820s. Even after the column’s introduction, distillation in the English Caribbean colonies remained resolutely pot-still based, for the most part. Why mess with a winning formula?
For the next 250 years or so, Barbados functioned like other Caribbean islands – primarily as a garden for crops and rum, traded for the benefit of their European mother country, in this case, England. Rum distillation was done on nearly every sugar plantation, utilizing the molasses and other materials from the plantation’s sugar mill. Put another way, rum making was small scale and highly distributed, rather than centralized the way it is in most countries today.
According to Seale, for most of the nineteenth century, the Barbados rum market was primarily for domestic consumption, with little spirit leaving the island. Exports picked up a bit around the 1930s; Seale believes this might have been due to U.S. Prohibition. Exports held steady for a few decades, and then escalated in the 1980s.
Barbados Rum History – Winds of Change
Up till the early 1890s, Barbados sugar plantations and their associated rum distilleries hummed along much as they had for many years. However, conditions were growing challenging in Barbados, as this excerpt from the 1897 Report of the West India Royal Commission lays out:
[Question] No. 2: How many stills have closed within the last five years, and to what cause is this ascribed?
Answer: Eight stills have closed during the last five years, all of which were small stills, producing from 3,000 to 10,000 gallons per year. Five of the above stills were plantation stills… Planters have also, for many years, found it more convenient to dispose of their molasses to the merchant for shipment to America than to make rum for which, except for a limited quantity, there was no market.
Another cause why the small distiller cannot compete is, that the West India Rum Refinery, which started in 1893, is gradually obtaining command of the rum trade of this Island, the class of spirit which this refinery produces at one distillation being purer than the other distilleries can produce, except by the process of redistillation. The small distiller thereby finds great difficulty selling his rum, except at a price that does not pay
Simply put, Barbadian distillers were facing falling prices for their rum, as production increased in other countries. They were further hurt by high duties leveled against them by their parent country.
However it’s the second paragraph that highlights a sea change to Barbadian rum: The West Indies Rum Refinery, or as it’s known today, the West Indies Rum Distillery.
Built in 1893 by a German engineer named George Stade, the West Indies Rum Refinery brought column distillation to the island. Stade had several sugar and rum production patents to his name, and a desire to showcase the most modern techniques of the time. According to Alexandre Gabriel, the current owner of West Indies, Stade’s vision was a facility dedicated solely to making safe, high quality rum in a more cost-efficient manner than existing plantation-based distilleries could. With a custom designed still of his own design, he set out to prove West Indies Rum Distillery could do just that.
By 1896, West Indies produced more than half of the island’s rum, and that percentage kept growing. Located just a few miles north of Bridgetown, the distillery had the largest capacity on the island. Whereas other distilleries were smaller scale, situated on plantations, and used output from the plantation’s own sugar cane mill, West Indies purchased molasses from the island’s sugar mills.
The interesting thing about the West Indies Rum Distillery is that it did not service a specific brand, and there was no West Indies Rum Distillery branded rum. Rather, the company sold rum to nearly all the Barbados blenders for their brands. In fact, for many years distilleries were prevented from selling their own rum direct to consumers. This is an important point I’ll return to later.
Unfortunately, and despite many customers, Stade was better at technology than business, says Gabriel. In 1901, Stade went bankrupt, and West Indies went into receivership. The company subsequently issued stock shares which many rum brand owners purchased, thus making West Indies partially owned by its customers, including familiar names like R.L. Seale and Martin Doorly. Thus, West Indies effectively turned into a shared resource collectively owned by a number of Barbados rum brands and other enterprises.
For modern readers, it’s worth noting that the West Indies Rum Distillery wasn’t just a column distillery; it acquired pot stills and a chamber still within its first few decades. Thus, the distillery could supply batch and continuous (pot and column) distillates, both of which remain important elements in premium modern-era Barbadian rum.
Very close to the West Indies Rum Distillery, another fairly large distillery popped up. The exact date of its founding is unknown, but occurred prior to 1938. The company, known as Barbados Distilleries Ltd., owned at least two stills, including a fairly large column. Not much can be found about this distillery; it was listed for sale in 1971, and a 1976 text implies that it was still active.
By the early 1900s very few plantation style distilleries remained. Mount Gay is the only well documented example, and even they added column distillation to their repertoire in time. This was as early as the 1920s, suggests Frank Ward, Jr., the last of the Ward family who owned Mount Gay for nearly a century before its acquisition in 2014 (more on this later).
It’s generally agreed that during the second half of the twentieth century, West Indies was the primary supplier of Barbados rum. That said, Mount Gay and Barbados Distilleries Ltd. (and perhaps a few others) also supplied bulk rum. So influential was the rum from West Indies Rum Distillery that Stades’s name became nearly synonymous with Barbados rum, appearing on many Barbadian rum labels.
Barbados Rum in the Modern Era
Fast forward to the 1970s, when the pace of Barbadian rum history picks up–beginning with big changes to Mount Gay, the iconic Barbadian brand.
The recent history of Mount Gay is murky, in part because of some confusing company names. The short synopsis is that in the early twentieth century, there were two companies related to Mount Gay rum:
- Fairfield and Mount Gay Ltd.: Owned the distillery in St. Lucy and a number of surrounding plantations, but did not bottle or sell rum.
- Mount Gay Distilleries Ltd.: Bottled and sold Mount Gay Rum; this company owned the Mount Gay brand but not the distillery and plantations.
In 1975, Fairfield and Mount Gay Ltd. split into two companies. Fairfield Investments took the plantations. The other company, named The Rum Refinery of Mount Gay, owned the St. Lucy distillery. Following the split, two companies became three:
- Fairfield Investments Ltd. – The sugar cane plantations
- Rum Refinery of Mount Gay – The St. Lucy distillery
- Mount Gay Distilleries Ltd. – The Mount Gay brand
In 1980, a majority percentage of Mount Gay Distilleries Ltd. (“the brand”) was sold to a foreign interest, and by 1989 it was in the hands of Rémy Martin (now Rémy Cointreau.) Put another way, Rémy owned the brand but not the means of production. This set the stage for Rémy’s eventual complete takeover, described below.
In the early 1990s, the Malibu brand contracted with West Indies to supply rum. Although initially a small brand, Malibu met with skyrocketing success, and with it the need to purchase more and more rum. This commitment to Malibu production made it harder for West Indies to supply all its customers until it added yet another column still in 1995.
Around the same time, the R.L. Seale company, one of West Indies’ biggest customers, concluded that it needed to take rum production into its own hands. They purchased the shuttered Foursquare sugar factory and converted it into the modern Foursquare Rum Distillery, which opened in 1996. It also increased the number of operating distilleries on the island from two to three.
In 2006, a fourth Barbados rum distillery entered the scene: Preservation architect and Barbados native Larry Warren purchased the St. Nicholas Abbey estate, including cane fields, with the intent to preserve it for future generations. Naturally rum was a part of historic sugar cane estates: To kickstart his rum offerings, Warren purchased already aged stock from the Foursquare distillery and continued to age it alongside his own freshly distilled rum, produced from a small batch still. Today the estate offers a gamut of rums, from unaged to twenty years.
In 2013, the Rum Refinery of Mount Gay ran into financial troubles and closed for a bit. Many press pieces erroneously reported that the Mount Gay brand was going under, which wasn’t the case–owner Rémy Cointreau had plenty of aged stock to work with. Nonetheless, in 2014 the Rum Refinery of Mount Gay was sold to Rémy Cointreau, thus giving them control of the entire Mount Gay supply chain. More recently the company acquired the Oxford Plantation, which was an original part of the Mount Gay holdings.
In 2017, another French company entered the Barbados rum story in a big way. After many years as a customer of West Indies, Maison Ferrand, parent company of Plantation Rum, purchased the distillery from Goddard Enterprises, the majority owner. Since Goddard also owned a one-third share of National Rums of Jamaica (including the Long Pond and Clarendon distilleries), Maison Ferrand assumed that ownership stake as well, providing a significant foothold in the Caribbean.
Barbados Rum Distilleries Today
Today on Barbados, four distilleries are operating – two locally owned, and two owned by French companies.
West Indies Rum Distillery – The largest distillery on the island, by far. Owned by Maison Ferrand. Data I’ve seen suggests it holds 82 percent of the island’s distilling capacity.
Mount Gay Rum Distillery – Owned by Rémy Cointreau. It represents somewhere around ten percent of the island’s capacity. However, in terms of aging stock it holds a much larger share (approximately 45,000 casks), which I’m told is the largest on the island.
Foursquare Rum Distillery – Independently owned by the Seale family (R.L. Seale & Co.). Reports are that its production capacity and aging stock are in the same neighborhood as Mount Gay’s, approximately 40,000 casks.
St. Nicholas Abbey – Owned by the Warren family. Its capacity isn’t well known, but it is assuredly a very tiny fraction of the other distilleries’ capacity and stock.
In terms of visiting the facilities, only Foursquare and St. Nicholas Abbey are currently open for public tours. If you have the right connections, you may be able to land a private tour at Mount Gay or West Indies Rum Distillery. I’m told that Mount Gay plans to do small group tours of the distillery on a limited basis in early 2019. Be aware that the Mount Gay visitor’s center in Bridgetown is not the distillery.
Barbados Blenders Of The Past
In 1906, a Barbados law forbade distilleries from selling rum in quantities less than ten gallons. Certainly not consumer friendly! This law helped usher in an era of Barbados blenders, buying bulk rum from distilleries, then blending, bottling, and selling to consumers.
These blenders were typically merchants who sold a variety of goods in a market setting. The rums they sold were sold under their own house brand name. As you’ll see below, some of these names live on today, despite a change in who makes them.
Interestingly, the rums being made by Barbados blenders eighty years ago appear to have been very different than what’s expected of Barbados rum today, i.e. straightforward, unadulterated rum. In his 1937 Foreign and Domestic Rum, U.S. Treasury chemist Peter Valaer describes it:
There is a tendency to remove as much as possible of the original character due to fermentation of cane products and substitute a new character with added ingredients. The analysis of true Barbados rum is not shown, but a formula of well-known brands consists of a mixture of distilled molasses spirit varying in proof from 145″ to 190°, sherry, Madeira or other wines, often spirits of niter, bitter almonds, and raisins.
Seale commented on these practices in a March 2018 PUNCH story:
“In the early days […] lots of additives were in play for local brands,” he says. “When we acquired the Doorly’s brand and learned the formulas, I was very influenced by the discovery that Doorly’s was pure.”
Barbados Brands Today
As of 2018, the operating Barbados rum distilleries are the following:
Besides the eponymous Foursquare brand and its Exceptional Cask series, the distillery also makes and sells the following brands directly:
- R.L. Seale
- E.S.A. Field
- Old Brigand
- Alleyne Arthur
- John D. Taylor (Falernum)
It bears noting that the R.L. Seale Company’s history includes acquiring the brands of other blenders. All of the above brands were once made with rum from West Indies, and possibly other plantation distilleries. According to Richard Seale, Doorly’s was known to have also sourced from Mount Gay. When the Foursquare distillery came on line, the brands transitioned to production exclusively at Foursquare.
Another well-known Foursquare rum made The Real McCoy. However, the brand is not wholly owned by R.L. Seale & Co. Rather, the brand is a partner brand and is bottled at Foursquare.
As best known, the Mount Gay distillery now focuses exclusively on Mount Gay branded rum.
West Indies Rum Distillery
Historically, many brands have been made at West Indies Rum Distillery, but few have been directly associated with it.
The Cockspur brand is one example to the contrary. Goddard Enterprises, which previously owned West Indies, also owned Cockspur. Around the time that Goddard sold West Indies, it also sold the Cockspur brand, however the brand was not part of the distillery sale.
Plantation Rum has long been a customer of West Indies for its Barbados releases, although it also purchased aged stock from Foursquare. With Plantation now owning the West Indies distillery, you can expect many more Plantation expressions to have some component coming from the distillery.
St. Nicholas Abbey
With its tiny size, St. Nicholas Abbey distills for only its own St. Nicholas Abbey rums.
Both Foursquare and West Indies Rum Distillery supply bulk rums to other brands, as well as to E&A Scheer. A full accounting of every brand using distillates from these two distilleries is well beyond the scope of this article.
This concludes the (not so brief) overview of Barbados Rum. Hopefully even the hardcore rum geeks have learned a few new facts. In future stories I will explore the various distilleries and their history in much greater depth. Pour a dram and stay tuned.

Re: musa velutina - first time!
I think I going to order some more seeds.
But if I put the seeds in water with 25-30C temprature, 2 in 2 days and 1 in 3 days.
Will it go faster then if they're in water.
Will it take like one month too see something?
I can put the seeds longer in water if it goes faster.
I have thing that keeps the temprature in the water stable( A thing that you have in aquarium).
So whats your advice?
Then I am going to plant 2 seeds directly in the soil.
You can see my "setup" further down on this page.

Hi folks a long time lurker and enjoy reading all the restoration threads and now possibly have one of my own.
First a bit of history about my bike;
I purchased this Gary Fisher Montare back in 1996 to go off road with my friends. It took a fair bit of hammer as we were younger back then (and therefore felt invincible) so did a lot of crazy things. We stopped mountain biking around 1998 and this bike just sat in my parent’s garage for a few years until my mate wanted a bike for commuting so I gave him this. I then pretty much forgot about it until the other month we were in the pub and he said he was thinking of taking up biking again but wanted a Hybrid and if he brought a new bike did I want my old GF back? I was totally surprised that he still had it. He said it had been sitting in his shed for the past few years and only used now and again as the shocks were gone.
I have managed to repair the shocks Q21R by using some Kronos springs. I took it out for the first time over the weekend and it was like getting back with an old girlfriend, very familiar and very nostalgic – it was great. It is however looking a bit ragged around the edges and this is what I want to resolve if possible, as i think it deserves a bit of TLC
Apart from the tyres and brake blocks everything is as it was when I first brought it 15 years ago (nothing else at all has been changed) and if possible I would like to keep it that way, also everything still works, I couldn’t believe it – even the gears change smoothly!!
Please have a look at the pictures and the main questions I have are as follows;
From the pictures you can see that the blasted aluminium frame has got some corrosion or pits in it, I don’t know if this is the lacquer or the frame itself, how would i go about removing this?
Could i do this myself or is it is professional frame restorer job?
If i have to have the frame restored where would i get the decals from?
Also what is wrong with the diacompe break lever? Is this also corrosion or lacquer? Again how would I remove this?
I will no doubt have other questions but these are the most immediate ones at the moment, Thanks

WTXF - The record Powerball jackpot has risen to $1.4 billion, or an $868 million cash payout.
The next drawing is Wednesday night.
The number had risen to $1.3 billion over the weekend, as there were no winners in Saturday's drawing, and the number was raised again Monday due to strong ticket sales in participating states.
Seven winning tickets for $150,000 were sold in Pennsylvania in the last drawing, the Pennsylvania Lottery said, but none of them were in the Philadelphia area.
Meanwhile, 29 people in New Jersey won $50,000 each in the weekend's drawing.
“Congratulations to all our winners in Saturday’s Powerball drawing,” Pennsylvania Lottery Executive Director Drew Svitko said in a statement. “As we get ready for Wednesday’s drawing, we want to remind players to please play responsibly because it only takes one ticket to win.”

But it seems the first images of their tot have been leaked online - at least, if fans are to be believed.
According to Liam Payne's supporters, a video posted by Cheryl's hairdresser over the weekend shows baby Payne.
In clip posted to Snapchat, Daya Ruci shared a video of a baby sat in a carry case, rocking back and forth.
While the lad's face is kept out of the clip, he can be seen happily shaking his feet.
Then in another adorable post, the unknown baby can be seen clutching onto someone's finger.
Gushing over the post one Twitter user wrote: "Aweh, how precious."
"Awww mini Chiam is the cutest. Still buzzin for his name," another added.
A third continued: "Made my life."
However, not everyone was so sure.
"It's too big baby for only 3 weeks," another fan questioned.
"I don't think it's him, I think he's her hairdresser's relative or something," a second wrote.
Liam is currently in LA working hard to complete his upcoming debut album.
The star has been locked in the studio for the past 12 months in a bid to make a name for himself outside of One Direction.
Last week Harry Styles released his first single Sign Of The Times.
Though despite it hitting the top spot in the UK charts the track under performed in terms of sales and is expected to drop from the No1 position this week.

The best weapons in Call of Duty Vanguard are those that are properly suited to their job and can quickly bring down foes with accurate and reliable fire, making them nearly must-picks for multiplayer triumph. Though weapon balancing is constantly changing as developers reduce the power of some guns while buffing others, there are still some remarkable examples of weapons that stick out among the rest. It’s crucial to realize that not every weapon will suit your playstyle, so you may discover that one of the weapons on this list falls short of your expectations.
In any case, we’ve compiled a list of the greatest weapons in Vanguard for each of the major gun categories, as well as some build and attachment examples for you to check out. On ogamesandroid.com, the best weaponry is clearly set out.
Right now, the best weapon in Call of Duty Vanguard is the Automaton, the second Assault Rifle you’ll unlock. It’s a versatile all-rounder with outstanding control and damage, capable of working at mid-to-long range and dropping adversaries as well as any Vanguard weapon.
The iron sights are a major flaw, and they’re almost as horrible a war crime as whatever you end up using the gun for. Fortunately, this is a simple fix: simply replace it out for any other attachment you choose.
Best Assault Rifle – STG44
The STG44 is the best starting gun when it comes to ARs. Despite being a little choppy, it packs a punch and has a lot of range, and it never gets out of hand. If the Automaton operates in the mid-to-long range, the STG44 operates in the short-to-mid range, with a trace of SMG in its DNA.
The STG44 is also versatile – that’s the main point of the Assault Rifles – but it suffers a little with high firepower, with adversaries occasionally escaping with only surface wounds. It will become a force to be reckoned with if its damage and damage range stats are increased: utilize the VDD 760mm 05B barrel, the F8 Stabilizer muzzle, and any of the more aggressive bullet types to give it more bite.
Best LMG – MG42
Despite being a starter weapon, this behemoth is arguably as good as LMGs get in Vanguard right now. The MG42 is the easiest gun of its sort to manage (albeit only by LMG standards, so it still leaps around like a salmon, albeit significantly less so), which is surprising given its fast rate of fire. It’s a powerful weapon, but one that’s a little easier to use in a fight. When you add in a 125-round beginning magazine, it’s a legitimate contender in its class, assuming you use it correctly.
Because LMGs aren’t designed to be run-and-gun weapons, make yours for defensive fighting, which means staying put and spraying fire from behind cover, usually while mounted on something. Stippled Grip or the Krausnick S91 Padded stock, as well as any other muzzle additions that aid in recoil management, may assist you achieve the goal of making a laser beam of gunfire. Allow yourself to burrow down somewhere safe and shoot down everyone who walks into your sightline, remembering that this is a rifle that excels at capturing goals.
Best SMG – MP40
In every game in which it appears, the MP40 appears to be a good choice, and it’s no different here. The MP40 is stocky and robust, with excellent handling and a surprising range that doesn’t prevent it from being lethal up close.
When you play aggressively, the MP40 thrives, and the attachments you attach to it should support that mentality. Accuracy of hip-fire, fire rate, and damage are all key factors in this game. Obtain the Mercury Silencer on the muzzle, a Krausnick 33mm Folding stock and the Quick kit, and Uncleared proficiency on it when you get them. Learn about the best Call of Duty guns and weapons at ogamesandroid.com.
Best Sniper Rifle – 3-Line Rifle
To play like a sniper, the 3-Line Rifle is for those who want to play like the terrifying speck in the faraway window that pierces the brains of anybody within a quarter-mile radius. To prevent the target from panicking and fleeing, a sniper should have the best chance of killing on the first shot, and the 3-Line provides the best stopping power in the game.
Put an MX Silencer on it for attachments, as the reduction to ADS speed shouldn’t be a major concern for this play strategy. In terms of optics, we prefer the 1913 Variable 4-8x, but it is largely a matter of personal preference and whether you
want night vision. You’ll also benefit from a 500-millimeter MN Custom barrel and Lengthened Ammo, which will help you pin down targets quicker and more effectively.


A level indicator is registering a liquid level that is falsely low.
The operator has hand-gauged the storage vessel with a tape measure and determined the actual level to be 9 feet, but the level indicator (LI) registers 7.5 feet.

Subject: [Boost-build] Status of b2 and all the python tools in the build directory?
From: Jess Peterson (jess_at_[hidden])
Date: 2013-12-18 21:41:19
I, like many others, have used b2 mainly to build boost libraries. I, like
many others, have looked at it over the years and not quite adopted it for
local projects. Once again, I am in the market for a build system (25,000
files and cross-compiling) and am trying to determine whether to use b2 or
try out SCons or something similar. My primary concern remains that I
don't want developers spending time on the build system; that is, I want
minimal information in far-down Jamfiles and I want magic to make all work.
Secondarily, it would be nice if it were easy to create the magic (write
rules, add features, and get done the special little things that always
seem absolutely necessary). B2 has always seemed very good at the former
and not so good at the latter.
So my question is, what are all the python scripts that have been
paralleling the jam files for a few years? Is this some sort of effort to
make rules and modifications easier to make? Is this an ongoing project?
Is b2 itself and ongoing project? How easy is it to get answers to
I can define a local or third-party lib in such a way that the far-down
Jamfiles only need to say /third/some_other_lib in a source list and b2
will correctly find the right one amongst the ten or so options depending
on toolset, target-os, variant, and so on. However, if I try to use that
name in a project requirements or use-requirements declaration (with
<library>, it never seems to find it.
Actually, just for the fun of it, I would actually like an answer to that
question in addition to the question about the question.
Thanks for your time.

Free wifi will be available to the public in Helensburgh town centre, councillors have confirmed.
The internet access will be a pilot project and, if successful, other hotspots may be created across Argyll and Bute.
The £6.6m CHORD work in Helensburgh included ducting to allow a broadband provider to install equipment ‘with minimum disruption’, Argyll and Bute Council’s policy and resources committee was told.
“If delivered correctly it could assist in making our town centres more attractive, support existing businesses, increase footfall and add value to capital investment already being delivered through our CHORD regeneration programme,” said a report by executive director of development and infrastructure Pippa Milne.
“The effect of the digital revolution on our town centres has been significant and has resulted in a different way of buying and selling.
“Promoting and increasing the number of those using our town centres for retail, business, recreation, culture and arts and social purposes is critical to the regeneration of our town centres and to ensuring that we maximise the economic benefit from the investment in our towns through projects such as CHORD.”
Free wifi was made available at Helensburgh Central station by Scotrail earlier this year.

Sitting alone in her kitchen on County Road in Gorham about 8:30 a.m. Tuesday, Patricia Perkins noticed signs of a fire and thought the woods near her house were burning.
However, when she went outside to investigate, she was shocked to see it was not the woods, but her barn and indoor riding arena that were on fire.
“Everything is gone,” Perkins cried afterwards.
Perkins quickly dialed 911 before rushing outside to lead her horses to safety. Quick action by two strangers driving past the scene also saved a horse that was trapped and scared in a corner of the barn. The strangers got out of their vehicle and rushed into action, assisting Perkins in the rescue.
Perkins said none of the 15 horses, which included one that was partially blind, were lost in the inferno that swept the combination indoor riding arena and barn.
Gorham Fire Chief Robert Lefebvre said the barn was “totally involved” when firefighters arrived. The barn was a wide-open building with no walls to stop the fire from spreading and fire already was coming out the side of the barn when Perkins discovered it, Lefebvre said.
Firefighters first concentrated on saving the farmhouse. “The house was smoking when we got there,” Lefebvre said.
The horses stayed calm after their evacuation, blissfully munching on hay scattered on snow in a corral while firefighters battled the blaze in freezing temperatures. Some of the horses watched the fire, raising their heads while they ate. At noon on Tuesday, Perkins said a friend was helping her find temporary housing for the horses.
Firefighters pumped water onto the fire from tankers and the water supply was augmented from a pond on the opposite side of County Road. Both travel lanes of the road were closed to traffic. “It was really going there for awhile,” said neighbor Connie Shiers. “Flames were way above the trees.”
Lefebvre said the fire originated in the wiring in the front of the barn. “We determined it was electrical,” he said.
In addition to Gorham, units from Buxton, Scarborough and Windham responded to the three-alarm fire. Units from Standish and Westbrook covered other stations in town.
Perkins said about $600 in hay and grain was lost in the fire and she had to order feed to replace it. She also lost all of the saddles, bridles, buckets and other equipment that was stored in the barn.
Lefebvre said the barn was a total loss, but he didn’t have an estimate of the amount of damages. “It could have been a lot worse,” Lefebvre said.
Perkins hopes to rebuild but didn’t know immediately just how much of the loss would be covered by insurance.

With only a few inquiries, she heard the news that the Carrot Demon was in retreat at a certain location.
Although she hadn’t figured out the feelings in her heart, Huan Qing Yan quickly rushed to the place where the Carrot Demon was in retreat with Xiaobao.
It was not too far from the Lion Demon Tribe’s imperial palace. It was one of the better cave estates of the tribe.
Before leaving the demon lands, Huan Qing Yan and Bai Chen Feng had displayed positive attitudes towards the Carrot Demon. His status within the Lion Demon Tribe, or even amongst the demon race, was not low.
Huan Qing Yan had thought up countless possible scenes of when the two met, but she did not expect it to be like this.
At the entrance of the cave, a familiar figure seemed to be waiting for the arrival of the mother and son. After approaching, he smiled slightly, as if he was greeting a friend: “You came!”
Huan Qing Yan, who was still feeling a little bit unsure of what to do, suddenly calmed down due to that familiar and gentle smile. It seems that at this moment, all that love, hate and infatuation have really become the past.
Her heart was extremely peaceful as she looked at Qing Luo in front of her, who was also Ji Mo Ya.
It was unknown if it was because of the reincarnation, Qing Luo’s appearance was now very similar to Ji Mo Ya, but it also seems to be a little different.
Ji Mo Ya’s eyes were now deeper, full of wisdom. His lips were slightly upturned and his smile was like a spring breeze. The temperament of his entire person was completely different from the previous Qing Luo.
Compared with Ji Mo Ya in the past, it was a little calmer with a kind of elegance and nobleness exuding from the bones that overlook life.
The eyes looking at her and Little Treasure were moving, tender, and considerate! There was also an illusion of standing high above, akin to the clouds that were beyond the imagination of mortals.
He is Ji Mo Ya, but also not Ji Mo Ya!
Huan Qingyan had a sudden sobering realization after seeing such an image.
She took a step back and pulled Ji Mo An Ning, who was very excited to rush over, behind her, and said vigilantly: “Who are you?”
Ji Mo Ya showed a mysterious smile, “I am Ji Mo Ya, but also not Ji Mo Ya!”
The words raised the vigilance within Huan Qingyan’s heart, “What’s the explanation for this?”
Ji Mo Ya made an inviting gesture, the posture was very elegant, like clouds and flowing water. It even possessed a slightly more indescribable suaveness than the previous Ji Mo Ya.
Huan Qing Yan hesitates a bit.
Ji Mo Ya smiled slightly: “Don’t worry, I won’t hurt the two of you. If you are still worried, we can talk here.”
He turned out to be very empathetic.
Huan Qing Yan gritted her teeth; the Ji Mo Ya in front of her was very mysterious, making people unable to see through him.
Except for the eyes that looked at her and Little Treasure, which was missing the joyful or moved feelings that she had imagined it would have, she could not feel any malice.
With her current cultivation base, apart from her biological parents and the Sky Devil Empress, she believed that no one was her opponent in the Spirit Treasure Continent.
There was nothing to be afraid of!
After thinking about it, she walked into the cave with Ji Mo An Ning.
The cave estate looked like a snow cave and without much decoration; only a table with a pot of Spirit Tea on it and a few stone benches.
The three of them divided themselves and sat down, Ji Mo An Ning looked at this strange yet familiar father, and then at his mother who had been vigilant, and the inexplicable atmosphere between the two. For a while, all of them did not know what to say…

Raccoons have an abundance of natural predators. Raccoons are know for inhabiting urban areas which is why hiring a professional raccoon removal service in Toronto is not only highly advisable, but necessary! where they can cause a great deal of damage to private and commercial properties, and in these environments they are often at the top of the food chain. However, many city dwellers are unaware that in their own backyard there are predators like coyotes, hawks and even owls, which will quite often kill and eat medium to large-sized animals, such as Raccoons. Additionally, nearby woodlots, valleys, meadows and fields in urban areas can provide nearly ideal habitats for apex urban predators.
Hawk species like Red-tailed, Rough-legged and Cooper’s Hawks are more than large enough to attack and kill full-sized adult raccoons, and Coyotes are well-known for hunting them as well. Nocturnal predators, like owls, will hunt raccoons as they forage for food along stream banks or in city parks during the night. Additionally, during breeding season, male raccoons have been know for engaging in brutal fights with females, determined to kill her babies. This is believed to be an evolutionary mechanism displayed by male Raccoons designed to eliminate the offspring of other males while allowing their own to pass on. However, if your property is infested with Raccoons, it’s more than likely that natural predators won’t do much to solve your problem, as attics, crawl spaces and garages, common places that raccoons invade, are well protected against Hawks, Owls and Coyotes. You need the Professionals!
Equipped with all the proper removal, exclusion and safety gear, our technicians will be on the scene to inspect your property and remove raccoons in a humane and efficient manner, as well as repair any damage done by the animals and take preventative actions to ensure the problem never arises again. If babies are present, the young and mother will both be removed, and our technicians will release them together, providing them with water and shelter for the time being. The mother will then seek-out a new den to relocate her babies, while our technicians begin to repair any damages the animals may have caused to prevent them from returning anytime in the future. If you’ve got raccoon problems, you can’t always rely on a Raccoons natural predators to solve the issue. Always remember that Raccoon Control is in your corner!

In the tradition of releasing its films early for limited engagements, Disney announced Monday that it will launch its 53rd animated feature, “Frozen,” five days before the Nov. 27 nationwide release at the El Capitan Theater in Los Angeles.
The exclusive run starts Nov. 22, with five showtimes each day; the El Cap engagement, which runs through Jan. 5, also will feature ice-carving performances and on-stage appearances by characters Anna and Elsa before the movie.
“The whole company is incredibly excited about ‘Frozen’ and can’t wait to share it with audiences this Thanksgiving,” said Disney distribution exec Dave Hollis.
The limited start for “Frozen” mirrors what Disney had done in the past with its hand-drawn animation events (usually at the El Cap or formerly at Radio City Music Hall in New York), a handful of which hold the industry’s highest opening per-screen averages, including “The Lion King,” “Pocahontas” and “The Princess and the Frog.”
“Frozen,” which is loosely based on the Hans Christian Anderson story, “The Snow Queen,” features voice performances from Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, Idina Menzel and Josh Gad. The film is directed by Chris Buck (“Tarzan”) and Jennifer Lee (screenwriter, “Wreck-It Ralph”), with songs by “The Book of Mormon” scribe Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez.
Disney recently released a trailer for the film here in the U.S., a sillier cut of the international trailer which bowed previously and was criticized by Disney fans.
The Mouse clearly is trying to duplicate the success it had with “Tangled” in 2010 by marketing “Frozen” more so to boys; whereas, girls already are sold on the concept. The strategy worked. “Tangled” defied industry naysayers, grossing a whopping nearly $600 million worldwide.

Hidden Histories - Rugby Art Gallery & Museum
New exhibition tells tales from Rugby's past
|OBJECTS which open a window on Rugby's rich history, from a Viking ring discovered in a field to a music magazine featuring psychedelic rock legends Spacemen 3 on the cover, take centre stage in a new exhibition.
Every Object Tells A Story delves deep into Rugby Art Gallery and Museum's social history and archaeological collections to present an Aladdin's cave of objects, each with a tale to tell.
The exhibition, which opens next month, also includes loans from residents and local history groups, revealing the personal stories, family histories and working lives of Rugbeians.
A section of an eighth century, carved stone cross discovered when St Andrew's Church was built features in the exhibition, together with the boots worn by Lady Dorothie Feilding, daughter of the Earl of Denbigh, while serving on the frontline in the First World War.
Lady Dorothie left the family estate in Newnham Paddox, near Rugby, in 1914 to drive ambulances which ferried wounded soldiers from the heat of battle in Flanders to clearing hospitals.
Her bravery was honoured when she became one of the first women to receive a Military Medal from the British Army.
Every Object Tells A Story also includes a Viking ring discovered in Kings Newnham and a stone shield dating from the 1670s, which belonged to the Skipwith family of Newbold Revel Hall and was found in a field in Whilton, near Daventry, in 2014.
A photograph of Rugby Portland Cement's original Crown House, built in 1936, features in the exhibition, an early example of the work of photographer Norman Parkinson.
Parkinson went on to become the most celebrated fashion photographer of the 20th century, a pioneer credited with creating the age of the supermodel with his work for Vogue and Harper's Bazaar, and who photographed the likes of the Royal Family, Audrey Hepburn, David Bowie and The Beatles.
And in the year Queen Elizabeth II celebrates her Platinum Jubilee, the exhibition has a GEC television set bought in Rugby in 1953 to watch her coronation - a television first which attracted a UK audience of 27 million.
Every Object Tells A Story runs in The Studio at Rugby Art Gallery and Museum from Saturday 12 February to Friday 16 September.
Cllr Howard Roberts, Rugby Borough Council portfolio holder for leisure and wellbeing, said: "The social history and archaeological collections at Rugby Art Gallery and Museum house a treasure trove of objects spanning hundreds of years, each shining a light on a chapter from the borough's history.
"This new exhibition features an eclectic collection of items, ranging from a ring dating back to the Middle Ages to an issue of Melody Maker from 1988, all revealing fascinating tales about Rugby and its residents."
