A bottle of Three Philosophers 2007 from Brewery Ommegang in Cooperstown, New York.
This 9,8% abv brew is a blend of 98% domestic ale and 2% cherry-lambic, making this a Belgian Style Blend of Quadrupel strength!
The beer poured a deep red-brown color with a small beige head. Aroma was fruity, with those cherries taking the lead but with an underlying sweetness. Mouthfeel was sharp in the first instant, from the acidic cherries, but very quickly caramel sweetness balanced the sourness and then the roasted bitter flavors kicked in. Wow, complex! A nice, long aftertaste where sour notes linger - washing out the almost caramel sticky sweetness from my mouth. A world class beer.

The philosopher's Walk is a cherry tree lined 1.8km stroll path between the Nyakouji Bridge and theGinkakuji Bridge.
The path is renowned as a favorite route for the famous Kyoto University philosophy professor, Kitaro Nishida (1870-1945), who used to take a stroll along this route to meditate.
It is said tht the path derives its name from Philosophenweg in Heidelberg, Germany, and that aKyoto Universty Professor, Iwao Kokusho who studied in Germany and later became the first president of Osaka University of Economics, named the path the Philosophers Walk in the early Showa Era.
The Philospher's Walk was once called the Philosopher's lane. After Kyoto City developed the path as a promenade in 1970, tourists began to visit there and the name 'the Phipspher's Walk' became established.

A road-side tea stall in Calcutta. The owner (the man on the right) is retired now; the shop now is run by his son. On this day, the son took the day off and took his family for a short tour of some places nearby and the dad took over. His mother can also be seen. The man on the left would come for a cup of tea every morning before going for his bath wrapping himself only with a towel and every morning means every morning. I had tea many times here while visiting Calcutta in the past and also during the latest visit in December, 2015.
Philosophers Walk winds its way by Trinity College and The Music Department of the University Of Toronto toward the ROM and the RCM at Bloor Street West.

It is just The Twist, except with a resistance band. But, it works for me. This is how I explained it on Quora
I got sore knees when I was 54, especially after running or cycling, as a lot of people do.
Now I appear to have cured my sore knees and feel thirty something again. I am not a doctor.
I was lucky because my right knee was sorer, on the side I had a spinal hernia 15 years ago. It was clear that while my sore knees were partly due to ageing, and thanks to my injury, it was also made apparent that my right knee soreness was related to the pain and weakness in my butt.
My right butt got worse, to the point I was getting a dodgy, slightly dislocating hip. Something had to be done. I tried squats, one leg Romanian squats (on a wobbly board and on a rotating platform), CARs, the McGill “big three” (hip abductions, flying dogs, side planks), hydrants, donkey and ninja kicks, and their combinations by the thousand, with varying degrees of success, but I was only just keeping instability at bay.
I gradually realized my problem was a lack of rotational strength. It took me a long time to grasp this because I didn’t think of my femur as being something that rotated. But the leg is like a drinking straw and needs rotational strength to remain straight and functional under load.
My particularly problem was internal rotation of the femur which was giving rise to bow legs, so common in older men. Cycling and running with legs only slightly bowed causes knees to rub in the wrong place, soreness, inflammation and eventually I hear, arthritis.
I figured out that I needed rotational strength because: golf-like swings (using a grass whip), grim-reaper scything, a bicycle pedal extender (which made me want to fight against the outwards turn of my foot and rotate inwards), the hydrant to donkey kick rotation, and The Twist (as in Chubby Checker) were helping, to an extent.
Even knowing that my problem was rotational strength there are not so many exercises that really focus upon it. The standards ones are
1) Split squats (so that was why my Romanian squats helped!)
2) Clamshells (for external rotation)
3) Reverse clamshells (for internal rotation) .
4) Sitting down and separating banded feet (again for internal rotation).
Reverse clamshells (and 4) were clearly really hitting the spot, but I needed the turbo version. I needed The Twist with resistance.
So I do Romanian standing reverse clamshells, or Stiwts, with one leg attached to a wall and an exercise band - about 60lb of load - 100 times a day. Two months of these and my knees, and hip, are feeling really good. I feel like I have found eternal lough. Leg youth.

'In loving memory of my husband John A Rimmer, artist & philosopher, born 21st June 1888, died 15th January 1968.
"We shall not see his like again."
And of his dear wife Dorothy I Rimmer, Actress, 1900-1975.
"Not the end of the play, just the end of the act."'
John Rimmer was a renowned Sudbury eccentric and local character. The Sudbury museum website notes that he was often seen on his bicycle around Sudbury and many local people possess his sketches and paintings. He had a collection of fossils and curios which he displayed above Wardman's shop on Market Hill.
You can see his photograph here.
