“Naturally the common people don’t want war; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in America, nor in Germany. That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.” / / Hermann Goering /
FREE Don’t close your hand / Just close your eyes / And I will stay right by your side / And if this world turns cruel & cold / Look to the skies / Don’t you see the truth? / The power of one, the power of two / The power of me loving you CHORUS: / Butterflies are free / Free to come and go / Free to spread their wings / Know that I know / You’ll come back to me / Cause love like butterflies are free You see a light / You hear the call / And if I don’t let you fly / I don’t know you at all So go on and roam / See all that you can / Born unto this earth a curious soul / You and you alone / can make you feel whole / But don’t I add truth / you’ve never known The tighter the grip / The more you’ll resist / It’s human nature I suppose / But I’d rather be surprised by a kiss / Then under your control Free to come and go / Free to spread their wings / Know that I know / You’ll come back to me / Cause love like butterflies are free Free to come and go / Free to spread their wings / You’ll come back to me / Cause love like butterflies are free

Baoding balls, also commonly known as Chinese Exercise Balls, Chinese Therapy Balls, Chinese Stress Balls, and Chinese Health Balls are believed to have originated in Baoding, China, a small town in the Heibei province, during the reign of the Ming Dynasty. In Baoding, the balls were once dubbed Chinese Iron Balls, since at first the Baoding balls were made from iron. / Nowadays, Baoding balls are made from many kinds of materials yet remain light to carry. They are usually hollow and made from chrome-plated steel, with most containing a chime within as well. People sometimes call these chime balls or harmony balls. You will find that Baoding Balls can come with many designs crafted onto them. These cloisonne balls usually have hand made designs which depict symbols or characters related to harmony, health, and other positive forces. Baoding balls are usually used for exercise and meditation, but are also good when employed for medical reasons.
