Chopin!?

Chopin Documentary – The Women Behind The Music

Fryderyk Chopin (1810-1849)

Chopin ImageOne of Poland’s greatest and most remembered musicians of Polish descent, Fryderyk Chopin, was born in Zelazowa Wola, Poland, near Warsaw. According to some, Chopin was born on March 1, 1810. However, his baptismal certificate, written several weeks after his birth, lists his birthdate as February 22, 1810. His father, Nicholas Chopin, came to Poland to secure a position teaching French. He met and married Justyna Krzyzanowska. Together in the city of Warsaw, Poland, they raised their son Fryderyk along with their three daughters.

One Love, One Heart
Let’s get together and feel all right
Hear the children crying (One Love)
Hear the children crying (One Heart)
Sayin’ give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right
Sayin’ let’s get together and feel all right

Let them all pass all their dirty remarks (One Love)
There is one question I’d really like to ask (One Heart)
Is there a place for the hopeless sinner
Who has hurt all mankind just to save his own?
Believe me

One Love, One Heart
Let’s get together and feel all right
As it was in the beginning (One Love)
So shall it be in the end (One Heart)
Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right
One more thing

Let’s get together to fight this Holy Armageddon (One Love)
So when the Man comes there will be no no doom (One Song)
Have pity on those whose chances grove thinner
There ain’t no hiding place from the Father of Creation

Sayin’ One Love, One Heart
Let’s get together and feel all right
I’m pleading to mankind (One Love)
Oh Lord (One Heart)

Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right
Let’s get together and feel all right

Formula 1 news!

Green machine: The grounds of the Williams F1 headquarters in Didcot feature this hedge has been trimmed into the shape of a Formula 1 car These spectacular hedges cut like a Formula1 car and pit lane mechanics will set the hearts of any motoring fan racing.

Gardeners at the Williams F1 headquarters spend hours every month trimming their topiary – which is positioned in a gravel trap.

The 11ft long car is made from six plants and each 6ft high mechanic is made from two.

Visitors to the HQ in Grove, near Didcot, Oxfordshire, are stunned by the work, which shows the mechanics changing the car’s wheels during a pit stop.

An Italian nursery made the model for Ferrari but Williams bought it and had the shape of the car changed to reflect their own car design.

It took two-and-a-half years for the plants to weave around their metal frames and they are now completely covered.

Tim Lightfoot, facilities manager at Williams, said visitors were always impressed by the work.

He said: ‘Our gardeners trim the plants into shape by hand and take a great deal of care doing it.

‘It is hard work but the result is really impressive.

‘The topiary has pride of place outside our conference centre and is popular with the many people who visit us each year.

‘Many guests are shocked by the size of it.

‘We often have people trying to sit in it but it’s not a very comfortable drive. It doesn’t go very fast either.’

Williams-Toyota are currently sixth in the Formula1 constructors’ championship on 30.5 points.

Driver Nico Rosberg has secured all their points and lies in sixth place in the drivers’ championship. Kazuki Nakajima is yet to score this season.

What would happen if not the fastest but the greenest car would win the Formula 1?
