PANTHER FOOTBALL SEASON IS HERE
By Staff | Aug 21, 2015
The Rugby Panther football team practices for the upcoming season.
This year's Panther football team is a spirited group with no quit in them. By their swagger, you would never think that they have any doubt about the upcoming season.
But not only will this year's team have to contend with being in the shadow of last year's 9-1 season, they will be dealing with the loss of key leadership and playmakers to graduation. In addition, they will be playing in a new region.
The Panthers will be playing in a six-team region consisting of their rival, the Harvey-Wells County Hornets; playoff teams, the Larimore Polar Bears and the Park River-Fordville-Lankin Aggies, who were state finalists. Rounding out the six-team region will be Lakota-Edmore-Dakota Prairie and the Langdon Area-Munich Cardinals.
The offense will have junior Anders Johnson under center. He will have large shoes to fill, replacing three-year starter Brad Heidlebaugh, who was named the Region 3 Senior Athlete of the Year and first team All-State. Other key losses on offense are first team all-state offensive lineman Bennie Mygland and first team all-state wide receiver Zach Miller.
Johnson will have plenty of help on offense though, with senior Victor Gronvold returning as a dual-threat running back and return man. Gronvold rushed for an average 13 plus yards per carry last year to lead the team and finished with 585 yards. He was the only non-senior from the team to be voted first team all-region.
Also helping out on offense is returning senior wide receiver Ryan Michels, who was named second team all-region last year and has shown his moxie as a receiver.
The defense also had key losses, with second team all-state defensive lineman Devon Berg, and leading tackler and first team all-region on defense and first team all-state as an offense lineman Bennie Mygland graduating. Mygland ended his stellar career with 62 solo tackles. Other losses on defense are Tanner Bernhardt and Eric Hooker.
The void will be admirably filled with returning senior linebacker Hunter Hager, who was named second team all-region and had 49 tackles last year along, with fellow defensive standout classmate Blackhawk Jones, who was also second team all-region and had 45 tackles. Also adding to this year's defense will be ironman lineman Spencer Koehmstedt, who not only plays defensive tackle but is the starting center as well.
In speaking with the Panthers' Hall of Fame Coach Scott Grochow, he is excited about this coming year. He said, "It's going to be interesting. We have a lot of holes to fill from last year, but I know we have some guys that can step up and do the job." Grochow continued, "I am looking forward to see what happens this year, we have a scrimmage coming up this Friday and we will see if they step up like I know they can."
When asked if he felt his team's strength would lie on the offensive or defensive side of the ball, Grochow said, " I don't know. We have the same amount of guys coming back on each, I would like to think our strength will lie on the offensive but we will have to wait and see." He continued, "Filling in for Brad Heidlebaugh will be interesting but Anders Johnson was doing a good job last year before he got hurt so it will be interesting to see."
In talking with seniors Gronvold, Koehmstedt and Michels, they are looking forward to the challenges of the upcoming season, and as seniors they feel it is their responsibility to bring the underclassmen along to make sure that all on the team are ready to give it their all when the season begins. Their only bone of contention is whether the team's strengths lie on more on offense or defense. Koehmstedt believes that the defense may have the edge, where Gronvold and Michels feel that the offense will pick up where it left off last year and continue to be dominant.
With Gronvold, Koehmstedt, Michels, Jones and Hager as some of this year's leaders, the future of the Panther football program continues to look bright. The first step starts Friday, Aug 28, with their season opener against the Bishop Ryan Lions.

While much attention is focussed on how mobile can be used by retailers to work with consumers and improve the retail experience, mobile also has another role to play: within the retail corporation, making staff right across the organisation from senior managers to HR to the cleaners work better and smarter.
One of the chief advocates of this is leading UK network operator O2, which has devoted a lot of time to working with leading retailers to put mobile not only at the heart of the multichannel retail experience, but also at the core of corporate comms.
And nowhere is this more clearly illustrated than at John Lewis Partnership (JPL), where the network operator, already a comms provider to the company, came to its rescue when managers bemoaned the fact that, while their business ran on email, they couldn't get email on their frequent trips outside the office.
The John Lewis Partnership (JLP) is the UK's largest employee-owned business, operating 29 John Lewis shops and 225 Waitrose supermarkets in the UK, along with a successful online venture, johnlewis.com and Greenbee, a direct services company. Its staff, known as partners, total 70,000 and the company turnsovers more than £7.4billion a year.
In 2003, JLP's IT department was under strong pressure from partners to provide mobile email. Like all businesses, JLP was increasingly dependent on email to keep projects moving and communications channels open. But the moment Partners set foot out of the office they were cut off from email. As a result, several users began asking the IT department if they could connect their own personal devices to JLP's email server. In response,, the IT department organised a trial of PDAs that used pull email technology.
"The test enabled JLP to define more clearly the features it wanted in a future mobile email solution", says Steve Parker, Technical Architect at JLP. The first criterion was total compatibility with JLP's IBM Lotus Notes environment. Second, Parker wanted the IT department to support just one corporate-standard group of devices. Third, JLP needed a solution with strong security to ensure sensitive data didn't fall into the wrong hands.
JLP contacted its mobile operator, O2, to survey the solutions available on the market, and selected BlackBerry, which comprised of BlackBerry Enterprise Server for IBM Lotus Domino and BlackBerry smartphones.
After a successful trial, BlackBerry smartphones were rolled out to senior managers, where they quickly became an indispensible tool. They were then provided to merchandisers, buyers, divisional managers, Waitrose regional operational managers and John Lewis store leadership teams.
Today that initial 25 person trial now covers more than 2500 partners using BlackBerry smartphones for mobile access to email, calendar and contacts.
According to Potter and Parker, the advantages of the BlackBerry solution for JLP can be divided down into two main categories. The first is better communications for users. "If we didn't have a BlackBerry solution, a number of our operations would suffer," says Potter. "In any kind of project-oriented business such as ours, collaboration is the key – and BlackBerry provides shorter decision cycles, keeps projects moving and delivers immediate communications," comments Parker.
JLP plans to upgrade to BlackBerry Enterprise Server v5 later this year in order to take advantage of the built-in high availability meaning that planned or unexpected downtime can be avoided. "The BlackBerry solution is already very reliable. As a result it has become such an important operational system that we want to be able to take availability to the next level" says Parker.
Finally, JLP considers the BlackBerry solution to be highly cost effective. "Half an hour a week of time savings is sufficient to pay for the device and the subscription," he says. The next step is to identify applications that could allow JLP to provide mobile users with access to other corporate systems. "Getting even more value out of our investment in the BlackBerry solution is a high priority at JLP," says Parker.


Adkins, 84, is speaking of the aftermath of the Battle of A Shau when, in 1966, he and other survivors evaded the enemy after a team of 17 American Special Forces and about 400 of their South Vietnamese allies were attacked and overrun by a North Vietnamese division of 16,000 troops. In 2014, President Barack Obama awarded Adkins the Medal of Honor for his actions during that battle. Adkins and co-author (and Alabama Living gardening columnist) Katie Jackson tell his story in their forthcoming book, A Tiger Among Us.
Adkins' team had been warned that an attack was imminent, and the Battle of A Shau began about 4 a.m. on March 9, 1966, with a deafening North Vietnamese artillery and mortar barrage. Adkins ran to take his position in a mortar pit from which he and his crew fired illumination and high-explosive rounds.
Wounded 18 times, Adkins repeatedly risked his life during the battle. He was blown out of his mortar pit three times by direct hits from enemy mortars and lost several entire mortar crews. But he continued manning his position until the mortar pit was finally destroyed by RPGs (rocket propelled grenades). Disregarding enemy mortar and sniper fire, Adkins also rescued American and Vietnamese wounded and transported them to safety, and then – again under direct fire – loaded them onto evacuation helicopters. When a load of desperately needed supplies was inadvertently dropped into a mine field, Adkins rushed into the mine field to retrieve it.
After 38 hours of intense fighting – hungry, thirsty, and exhausted – the Americans were ordered to evacuate. In the chaos of the withdrawal, Adkins went back to rescue a badly wounded comrade. When they returned to the evacuation point, the helicopters had already gone.
Which is where the tiger came in.
Adkins and a small group of survivors had no choice but to evade the North Vietnamese in the dense jungle until they could be rescued. On their second night, Adkins and his men could hear enemy soldiers searching for them. They also heard another sound – something big rustling in the undergrowth nearby. Then Adkins heard a low growl and saw eyes glowing in the dark – a tiger, drawn by the smell of blood covering the wounded survivors. The war had given tigers a taste for humans.
The North Vietnamese heard the tiger, too, for they hastily pulled back, allowing Adkins and the other survivors to slip away. They were picked up by helicopter the next day.
Shortly after the battle, Adkins was nominated for the Medal of Honor. Nothing happened at the time. But in 2014, Adkins received a phone call from President Obama informing him that he was to be awarded the nation's highest military honor.
"Super humbling," is how Adkins describes it. "I'm very humbled to be one of the few living soldiers to wear this medal." He now speaks all over the county trying to inspire in people a love of country and the desire to be a good citizen.

Last year the foundation awarded the first scholarships; 25 will be awarded this year.
All of this was made possible by the 400-pound Indochinese tiger that saved Bennie Adkins all those years ago.
"That tiger was my friend," chuckles Adkins.


Are you one of those parents who really want their kid to be a musical genius? Do you follow America's Got Talent or X Factor and hope that your little one will grow up to be a star? Or perhaps, you notice that your little one loves music so much that you are almost sure that he or she is going to pursue a career in music?
Well help your little Ed Sheeran, Adele or Taylor Swift get a head start with these musical toys for young kids. Created for children but modeled on actual instruments that are used in a band, maybe they will show real interest in a particular instrument!
Famous guitar-playing celebrities include Ed Sheeran, Jimi Hendrix, and Elvis Presley. The guitar is one of the most versatile musical instruments in a band. With commitment, most music lovers without any formal music education can learn to play this instrument competently. It's also one of the best easiest instruments to learn "perfect pitch," which is the ability to recognize a tone without prior reference. Such a great talent to pick up!
The First Act DY285 Disney Dory Mini Guitar Ukulele is a really good beginning ukulele/guitar for young kids. It has real tuning gears and nylon strings. More importantly, it can take the rough handling of a young toddler. It comes in other patterns including the Avengers, Disney Princess, and Mickey Mouse. Once your child is able to handle toys with more care, you can graduate him or her to an actual guitar.
Or if your child is old and mature enough to handle the real thing, get him or her the Hohner HAG250P 1/2 Sized Classical Guitar which is half the size of an adult guitar but plays like a real instrument.
Top musical celebrities like Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, and Miley Cyrus are actually also comfortable on keys. As a standalone instrument, the piano is undoubtedly one of the best instruments to pick up as it can produce beautiful music without the need for other instruments.
If you would like to build a love for the piano with your child, we recommend the Melissa & Doug Learn-To-Play Piano because it looks and sounds so much like the real thing! Unlike electronic musical sounds, this piano actually only plays the exact note that your child presses. It has two whole octaves of notes and also comes with a songbook.
Is your favorite Beatle member Ringo Starr? If yes, you are probably a fan of the drums.
Most toddlers love banging stuff to make loud noises. You may already have discovered that they will use anything to create their 'orchestra'…like grabbing a spoon to attack your kitchen table legs, banging cooking pots together or using a toy to hit your face.
Drum toys, however, tend to be a dangerous mix. They can be your child's favorite toy but also, your least favorite toy. In fact, the more your child loves banging the drum, the more likely you are going to hate it too.
You could try to enjoy this phase by getting them something that plays actual melodies and not just construction-like banging noises like the VTech KidiBeats Kids Drum Set. This drum set not only allows free play but can also teach letters, numbers and keeping in tune to beats.
If they are a little older and want something that sounds like the real thing, you could get them the Junior Drum Set by Mendini but word of warning- you will want to soundproof the room!
The drum is also a percussion instrument but here, we are talking about someone who can play a whole range of percussion instruments.
Percussion instruments are a great way to allow your child to learn and love rhythm and beats! A percussionist plays an important part in adding rhythm to music and Innocheer Kids Musical Instruments is a great way to get your child started! It has 17 different pieces of instruments that all help a child to keep a beat. We love that this set comes with shaker eggs, maracas, finger castanets, bell stick, tambourine and even a kazoo! To keep things neat and tidy, the instruments fit nicely into a see-through backpack so that your toddler can carry them easily to any music class.
If you prefer to keep things simple, you can just invest in a good, quality xylophone with clear tones. Some xylophones are poor in design and quality which results in uneven tones but this set is built to last. It has two solid wooden, easy-to-hold mallets and also comes with a bonus eagle whistle (huh?). But we are not going to complain about free stuff! The finishes are also BPA, phthalate and lead-free.
For non-musical parents, an electric organ is NOT the same thing as a piano. Yes, they have similar black and white keys but they sound and feel very different. An electric organ's keys are a lot softer than a piano's but you require the same level of skills PLUS the ability to mix and match sounds, often mid-way through a song! Many electric organs have different features and it takes time to get used to the buttons, the sounds and how the electric organ operates. So if your child is serious about learning this instrument, it makes sense to invest in one that will last for a long time. The Sanmersen 61 Key Multi-function Portable Electronic Organ has a list of variable instrument sounds, beats, timbres and functions and will keep your child very engaged!
A violin is one of the harder instruments to pick up as an adult. Like the piano, it requires a lot of skill (imagine trying to produce an entire range of notes from only 4 strings!) If you want your kid to learn the violin, start them young! It will be so much easier than waiting till they are older. Mendini produces some good solid wood violins in different colors and sizes, to match the size, age, and interests of your child. A word of advice- your child will probably need professional classes to master this instrument!
Last but not least, consider getting your child a great microphone. Vocals are your child's natural instrument and as we all know, most musical celebrities can not only sing but eventually do establish themselves in their own right as a singer/songwriter. Think of Beyoncé, Justin Timberlake and Sting.
To help them get excited about growing their vocal strength and range, invest in some of their favorite music and resource them with a good microphone. The Anzor Microphone works well with an iPhone, iPad or home karaoke machine. Better yet, get two microphones and join in the fun!
If you lead by example, your child is more likely going to develop a natural interest for music. So start up your Spotify app and start singing!


Every fan of architectural art will be delighted to visit this amazing house. Journalists are not welcomed here so the question of who owns this palace is undisclosed.
The location has been a source of many gossip. Some sources claim that it's owned by Robert Mugabe, the president of Zimbabwe, while others insist that it belongs to Shahrukh Khan, an Indian actor. Also, one of the versions says that this is Ibrahim Babangida mansion. Did he really celebrate his 75th birthday here? Let's find out the answers together and learn more about this amazing house. Look at this splendid beauty!
This place is under serious protection. It's difficult for a simple passer-by to stick his nose here. If you want to see it, you probably need to have a patience and determination. But rest assured, you will be impressed!
In the mansion, you will enjoy the dazzling view of luxury. Everything here shines with greatness and wealth. There are many beautiful rooms for high-ranking guests. They are entertained, treated with tasty meals and refined drinks.
You just have to agree with the fact that whoever owns this mansion (General Ibrahim Babangida or Robert Mugabe or even Shahrukh Khan) has a great aesthetic taste. Every feature inside the building and next to it is perfect. You will find yourself impressed with the unusual designs and style. Only expert builders and designers were hired to create and decorate this mansion. We can clearly see that it took true architectural pros to pull this off.
When you look at the furniture, walls, ceiling, elements of the interior, and even the walls, you cannot help but marvel at the brightness and beauty. Everything here is strong and elegant. There are a number of golden detail strewn around the house. It's like a real royal palace. It is the kind of home where one can easily forget the stress and struggles that are going on outside.
Look at these magnificent chandeliers and chairs. Everything here is just glowing. We bet that every single visitor in this home simply will look around in awe.
Look at this delightful combination of colours. The rich burgundy perfectly blends in with the white walls, creating a magnificent effect. Just looking at the photo, you cannot help but want to sit on the soft armchair and put your feet on the padded stool. It's hard to walk past such elegant furniture and not touch it.
After a hard day, it's nice to relax in the bathroom and let the stress melt away. This is exactly what this place is built to do.
This home is great for tourist but also a very amazing place to relax.
The garden and surrounding are also very beautiful. They are created for long walks and deep meditation. The quiet rustle of palm leaves and glare on the water bring peace and reverence to the soul. A large number of interesting plants creates the impression that you are in the garden of Eden. We can clearly see that they are regularly being cut and taken care of – not a single extra leaf or twig.
After taking a tour of this great house, you realize that the wait is really worth it. So, you cannot help but envy the owner and praise his sense of beauty.
How likely that it's really Ibrahim Babangida mansion?
Well, let's study all the facts impartially. Journalists did not manage to take photos where the former president is posing against the background of the pool or sitting at one of the luxurious tables. The photos above were taken by a professional photographer, for sure. We can guess that the former president Ibrahim Babangida is less likely to let somebody take such photos at his home. Let's consider the actual photos of Ibrahim Babangida.
At this home in Minna, Ibrahim Babangida met with the guests who came to congratulate him on his 75th birthday.
Everything looks rather modest but with taste. However, the interior of this room can hardly be compared to the finery of the mansion in the pictures above. Although who knows, perhaps the former president has a special room, where he rests from the luxury that dazzles the eyes. It's a perfect place to meet important guests, so they are not distracted from business conversations, looking at interesting design elements.
Although this particular photo makes us wonder. You can see beautiful curtains in an obviously large room. Such beauty could be only be seen in chic mansions like in the one described above. To our regret, journalists did not photograph the rest of the house that day, so it's very difficult to identify it.
The truth will be probably be revealed soon enough. We will one day find out the owner of this mansion. In any case, it's hard to argue with its beauty and luxury. The proprietor, whoever he is, for sure is a very lucky person.


Each month, there is a new exhibit in the Gallery.

Prostate cancer: Doctor outlines symptoms you might experience
Following the death of journalist Bill Turnbull this week, many experts have been reiterating the importance of knowing the signs of prostate cancer. The former BBC presenter was diagnosed in 2017 but passed away aged 66 on August 31 this year. Speaking on BBC Breakfast today, Doctor Chris Smith shared some of the common warning signs.
He said a "change in the way" someone passes urine could signal the disease.
However, he warned: "This can be one sign but it's confusingly possible to muddle that up with the fact that for some people – in fact most men – as you get older, the prostate gland, which sits under the bladder, naturally enlarges just through the ageing effect and this can produce the same symptom.
"So if people notice that symptom it's easy to get it checked – get somebody to get an investigation done but don't necessarily worry, 'This must be prostate cancer'.
"It could be just natural enlargement of the prostate."
Cancer Research UK states that these changes could include urinating "more often", having difficulty passing urine and feeling an urgency to pass urine.
But Dr Chris said: "One of the big problems with prostate cancer is that for many people there are no symptoms."
Before his death, Bill Turnbull revealed in an interview how he experienced pains in his legs and hips that "didn't go away".
This is usually a sign that the cancer has spread to other parts of the body.
Dr Chris also explained how common prostate cancer is.
"Just to give people a sense of the scale of this there's an old saying which is if you live to the age of 80, 80 percent of the time you will have prostate cancer," he said.
"And that's absolutely true, it's very common and the vast majority of men will get it.
"But the wrinkle is that unlike some cancers, let's take pancreatic cancer for example, if you're diagnosed with that you have a really high likelihood that that's what you will die of, with prostate cancer only about 10 percent of the people who are diagnosed with it or have it will actually die of it rather than with it.
"Very frequently people will pass away from something else but incidentally they may have prostate cancer in the background."
He stated the importance of getting tested – usually with a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test.
Drr Chris added: "What we need to get much better at is spotting the people who do have the disease that is directly going to affect their longevity and directly impact on their quality of life.
"But you need to get it checked. One way to get it checked is to have the PSA test. This is a marker that is produced naturally by the prostate.
"When you have prostate cancer you can produce a lot more of it.
"So by having these tests over a period of time it's possible to work out whether someone has naturally enlarging prostate tissue or something has changed and suddenly pushed the level up and that would then trigger an investigation.
"But often this is a silent problem until it presents with some kind of onward consequence of the cancer such as bone pain because it's already spread and that's why it's so common."
Other symptoms that can occur if the cancer has spread include:
Back or bone pain that doesn't go away with rest
Weight loss for no reason.

Violations of coalescing in parametric utility measurement

The majority consensus in the empirical literature is that probability weighting functions are typically inverse-S shaped, that is, people tend to overweight small and underweight large probabilities. A separate stream of literature has reported event-splitting effects (also called violations of coalescing) and shown that they can explain violations of expected utility. This leads to the questions whether (1) the observed shape of weighting functions is a mere consequence of the coalesced presentation and, more generally, whether (2) preference elicitation should rely on presenting lotteries in a canonical split form instead of the commonly used coalesced form. We analyze data from a binary choice experiment where all lottery pairs are presented in both split and coalesced forms. Our results show that the presentation in a split form leads to a better fit of expected utility theory and to probability weighting functions that are closer to linear. We thus provide some evidence that the extent of probability weighting is not an ingrained feature, but rather a result of processing difficulties.

New Scania Outlet in Senai is Now Open for Business
Scania Malaysia recently announced the official launching of the brand's newest Sales and Services Centre in Senai (SMY Senai), Johor.
In conjunction with the launch, a new unit of Scania New Truck Generation was handed over to Tuan Haji Jaafar Abu Bakar, Group Managing Director of Scania's top customer down south, Chemtrax Sdn Bhd.
"Operations for SMY Senai started in May 2021 during the Movement Control Order and we continued to support the national and state transport and logistics industry, in particular the Southern region of Peninsular Malaysia even during the National Recovery Plan period. We loved to have been able to launch it then but to do it today just makes it even better. We have continued to be resilient for our customers who are part of the essential services sector," says Heba.

Working Men's Club – "Bad Blood"
by Andy on February 8, 2019 ·Bits & Pieces, Tracks
UK post-punks Working Men's Club act as a testament to the binge influence of the internet in 2019. Hailing from the tiny town of Todmorden, were it not for the heavy spread of access and rabbit hole drilldown of influences that pervades the tubes it seems unlikely that a group of seventeen-year-olds would produce a single that effortlessly echoes the rubber band snap of The Monochrome Set commingling with new wave keys and a touch of Medium Medium's dance freak streak. "Bad Blood" shouldn't sound like such a natural amalgam of the past while still feeling modern enough to drop in beside newer body shakers like Lithics, Future Punx, or School Damage but it does and we're all better for it. This single certainly puts the band on the list to watch, but first it puts them on repeat, domineering the speakers with a brittle beat.

Whisky's future lies in the everyday
25 December 2018 by Dave Broom
'So what's going to be new for whisky next year, Dave?' Alice asked me the other day. Given I had a glass of Madeira in front of me (and the remnants of a rather toothsome Rhone) you might have thought I had already abnegated any rights to comment, but it was a valid enough question. As writers – which Alice also is – we are hardwired to be dissatisfied with the norm, junkies seeking the next thrill, clambering over each other to be the one to catch the next wave just before it forms.
'I don't know,' I answered truthfully, 'but maybe that isn't a bad thing. Although there's plenty going on in terms of flavour development, maybe it isn't what's next or new, but looking at what we have now and seeing how it will evolve.'
She gave me a rather old-fashioned look, clearly believing I was just prevaricating. I continued, 'rather than looking for the new, perhaps it's best to look at the occasion – where and when whisky's being served, how it's being drunk and by whom and then make whisky a part of people's lives. That doesn't need something new – we have Highballs, we have cocktails, we have the liquid. It's the context that needs to be looked at.' I had another gulp of Madeira.
Top spot: Whiskies vie for space on the floor-to-ceiling shelves at The Ben Nevis in Glasgow
Her question nagged away at me, and over the next few days I began to think back about where I'd been drinking over the year, not just the high-end bars which you probably think are the only places I haunt, but the pubs (or dives as our North American cousins quaintly call them) as well. Of being ankle-deep in discarded peanut shells in a pitch-black bar in Victoria, BC talking about music with Mike Nicolson, that impromptu singing session in Wanaka, the late-night craziness of Melbourne's Hats & Tatts.
There was that late, late night when I was hunched over the bar clutching a Dewar's and soda, rambling to the barkeep in New York's Ear (which was once called the Bear before the B fell off the sign) as old-timey music played behind me, or hungover as hell the day after, sorting myself at McSorleys with fellow hacks, around a table full of beer mugs and cracker shards.
Or the summer spent filming in Scotland, which could also be considered a four-month pub crawl, that brought me back to Glasgow's Old Toll, Laurieston, the Pot Still, Ben Nevis and Heraghty's, as well as the afternoon calm of Edinburgh's Kay's. There were early morning drams in Bennet's listening to the Furrow Collective singing temperance songs, or chatting about literature and music with Ian Rankin over drams and pints in The Abbotsford and the splendour of the Cafe Royal.
Way-back when: Edinburgh's Cafe Royal offers grand interiors with a nod to its heritage All places where time stopped and conversation flowed, usually at times of the day where people relax and open their minds and hearts. Whisky times. Or rather, times where whisky seems appropriate, where it can play a role. That's the context.
The question is whether whisky is trying to play there. Is the whisky trade so obsessed with image and the top end that it's missing the late-night spots, the quiet afternoon sessions, the places around the world where its drinkers, existing and potential, go to sing and laugh, cry and swear?
I think back to sitting on plastic chairs in African shebeens with a bottle in front of me, to whisky-fuelled Taiwanese karaoke bars, and Japanese izakaya with half pints of ice-cold Highballs, of lazy Susans spinning in China, to bottles and ice buckets in Tunisia, or drams in a hot tub in the Arctic. Whisky adapts itself to all of these. It's a shape-shifter.
Widespread appeal: Victorian decor combined with over 150 whiskies makes Bennets in Edinburgh a cosy establishment It's this malleability which is the key. Everywhere whisky has touched down it's been absorbed in some way and adapted itself to fit, and yet it's these occasions which are rarely mentioned. Rather than being something to learn from, they are ignored. Yet, they are the contexts which should be explored. It's as if the industry has only chosen the choicest cut of meat and ignored the seething, reeking offal where true satisfaction resides.
It's appropriate to talk about food because in all of these contexts whisky has become part of the food culture. What we eat tells a story about place and people, and so does drink. It too is an element in the poetry of our lives, yet you wonder if whisky has forgotten this, that in the desire to elevate its reputation its role, its function, its qualities, its evolution and its sheer democratic nature has been pushed to the side.
It's time to learn from the dives and shebeens, the pubs, bothies and bars where whisky is quite simply enjoyed without pretension.
Have a splendid Christmas dear reader.

< Catholic Encyclopedia (1913)

Catholic Encyclopedia, Volume 15 (1913)
by Ulrich Schmid

108252Catholic Encyclopedia, Volume 15 — St. Wolfgang
Bishop of Ratisbon (972-994), born about 934; died at the village of Pupping in upper Austria, 31 October, 994. The name Wolfgang is of early German origin. St. Wolfgang was one of the three brilliant stars of the tenth century, St. Ulrich, St. Conrad, and St. Wolfgang, which illuminated the early medieval period of Germany with the undying splendour of their acts and services. St. Wolfgang sprang from a family of Swabian counts of Pfullingen (Mon. Germ. His.: Script., X, 53). When seven years old he had an ecclesiastic as tutor at home; later he attended the celebrated monastic school on the Reichenau. Here he formed a strong friendship with Henry, brother of Bishop Poppo of Würzburg, whom he followed to Würzburg in order to attend at the cathedral school there the lectures of the noted Italian grammarian, Stephen of Novara. After Henry was made Archbishop of Trier in 956, he called his friend to Trier, where Wolfgang became a teacher in the cathedral school, and also laboured for the reform of the archdiocese, notwithstanding the enmity with which his efforts were met. Wolfgang's residence at Trier greatly influenced his monastic and ascetic tendencies, as here he came into connection with the great reformatory monastery of the tenth century, St. Maximin of Trier, where he made the acquaintance of Ramwold, the teacher of St. Adalbert of Prague. After the death (964) of Archbishop Henry of Trier, Wolfgang entered the Order of St. Benedict in the Abbey of Maria Einsiedeln, Switzerland, and was ordained priest by St. Ulrich in 968.
After their defeat in the battle of the Lechfeld (955), a victory gained with the aid of St. Ulrich, the heathen Magyars settled in ancient Pannonia. As long as they were not converted to Christianity they remained a constant menace to the empire. At the request of St. Ulrich, who clearly saw the danger, and at the desire of the Emperor Otto the Great, St. Wolfgang, according to the abbey annals, was "sent to Magyars" as the most suitable man to evangelize them. He was followed by other missionaries sent by Bishop Piligrim of Nassau, under whose jurisdiction the new missionary region came. After the death of Bishop Michael of Ratisbon (23 September, 972) Bishop Piligrim obtained from the emperor the appointment of Wolfgang as Bishop of Ratisbon (Christmas, 972). Wolfgang's services in this new position were of the highest importance, not only for the diocese, but also for the cause of civilization. As Bishop of Ratisbon, Wolfgang became the tutor of Emperor St. Henry II, who learned from him the principles which governed his saintly and energetic life. Poppe, son of Margrave Luitpold, Archbishop of Trier (1016), and Tagino, Archbishop of Magdeburg (1004-1012), also had him as their teacher.
St. Wolfgang deserves credit for his disciplinary labours in his diocese. His main work in this respect was connected with the ancient and celebrated Abbey of St. Emmeram which he reformed by granting it once more abbots of its own, thus withdrawing it from the control of the bishops of Ratisbon, who for many years had been abbots in commendam, a condition of affairs that had been far from beneficial to the abbey and monastic life. In the Benedictine monk Ramwold, whom St. Wolfgang called from St. Maximin at Trier, St. Emmeram received a capable abbot (975). The saint also reformed the convents of Obermunster and Niedermunster at Ratisbon, chiefly by giving them as an example the convent of St. Paul, Mittelmunster, at Ratisbon, which he had founded in 983. He also co-operated in the reform of the ancient and celebrated Benedictine Abbey of Altach (Nieder-altach), which had been founded by the Agilolf dynasty, and which from that time took on new life. He showed genuine episcopal generosity in the liberal manner with which he met the views of the Emperor Otto II regarding the intended reduction in size of his diocese for the benefit of the new Diocese of Prague (975), to which St. Adalbert was appointed first bishop. As prince of the empire he performed his duties towards the emperor and the empire with the utmost scrupulousness and, like St. Ulrich, was one of the mainstays of the Ottonian policies. He took part in the various imperial Diets, and, in the autumn of 978, accompanied the Emperor Otto II on his campaign to Paris, and took part in the great Diet of Verona in June, 983.
St. Wolfgang withdrew as a hermit to a solitary spot, now the Lake of St. Wolfgang, apparently on account of a political dispute, but probably in the course of a journey of inspection to the monastery of Mendsee which was under the direction of the bishops of Ratisbon. He was discovered by a hunter and brought back to Ratisbon. While travelling on the Danube to Pöchlarn in Lower Austria, he fell ill at the village of Pupping, which is between Efferding and the market town of Aschach near Linz, and at his request was carried into the chapel of St. Othmar at Pupping, where he died. His body was taken up the Danube by his friends Count Aribo of Andechs and Archbishop Hartwich of Salzburg to Ratisbon, and was solemnly buried in the crypt of St. Emmeram. Many miracles were performed at his grave; in 1052 he was canonized. Soon after his death many churches chose him as their patron saint, and various towns were named after him. In Christian art he has been especially honoured by the great medieval Tyrolese painter, Michael Pacher (1430-1498), who created an imperishable memorial of him, the high altar of St. Wolfgang. In the panel pictures which are now exhibited in the Old Pinakothek at Munich are depicted in an artistic manner the chief events in the saint's life. The oldest portrait of St. Wolfgang is a miniature, painted about the year 1100 in the celebrated Evangeliary of St. Emmeram, now in the library of the castle cathedral at Cracow. A fine modern picture by Schwind is in the Schak Gallery at Munich. This painting represents the legend of Wolfgang forcing the devil to help him to build a church. In other paintings he is generally depicted in episcopal dress, an axe in the right hand and the crozier in the left, or as a hermit in the wilderness being discovered by a hunter. The axe refers to an event in the life of the saint. After having selected a solitary spot in the wilderness, he prayed and then threw his axe into the thicket; the spot on which the axe fell he regarded as the place where God intended he should build his cell. This axe is still shown in the little market town of St. Wolfgang which sprang up on the spot of the old cell. At the request of the Abbey of St. Emmeram, the life of St. Wolfgang was written by Othlo, a Benedictine monk of St. Emmeram about 1050. This life is especially important for the early medieval history both of the Church and of civilization in Bavaria and Austria, and it forms the basis of all later accounts of the saint. The oldest and best manuscript of this "Life" is in the library of the Abbey of Maria Einsiedeln in Switzerland (MS. No. 322), and has been printed with critical notes in "Mon. Germ. His.: Script.", IV, 524-542. It has also been printed in, "Acta SS.":, II November, (Brussels, 1894), 529-537; "Acta SS. O. S. Ben.", V, 812-833; and in P.L., CXLVI, 395-422.

Specifically designed for the Boeing 777, the GE90 is the world's most powerful turbofan engine.
The GE90 series of engines are built exclusively for Boeing's 777 aircraft. The GE90 first debuted in 1995 aboard a British Airways 777 and the early GE90 models boasted outputs between 74,000 and 94,000 lbs of thrust. GE developed the first carbon-fiber composite fan blade for the GE90 engine in 1995 and has since improved upon that with larger models (-110B and -115B variants). These larger variants are now built exclusively for Boeing's largest 777 models (777-200LR and 777-300ER). The GE90 us now the best-selling engine for that aircraft family.
GE introduced the first ever composite fan blade in commercial aviation on the GE90. Measuring more than four feet long and weighing less than 50 pounds, it's made from carbon fiber and a toughened epoxy matrix. This uniquely curved blade design is lighter, more aerodynamic and larger than traditional titanium blades. The lighter blades reduce the weight of the engine and help lower fuel burn. The aerodynamic design allows the blade to pull large amounts of air into the engine. The GE90-115B fan blade is a perfect example of cutting-edge engineering, design and beauty. In 2007, it was introduced into the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
During certification testing at GE's outdoor test facility in Ohio in 2002, the GE90-115B engine set a world record reaching 127,900 pounds of thrust. The engine ran for approximately 60 hours at triple red-line conditions (maximum fan speed, maximum core speed and maximum exhaust gas temperature) to evaluate the engine at its operational limits. The test is designed to demonstrate the engine's capability beyond the most extreme operating conditions.
Rated at 94,000 lbs of thrust, the GE90-94B builds on the proven success of the early GE90 engine models, powering the Boeing 777-200 and -300.
GE was selected by Boeing to develop a 110,000 to 115,000 lbs thrust engine, this GE90 derivative engine powers the longer-range 777-200LR, -300ER and 777 Freighter aircraft.

Video: Guess Who, Round Two with Chaps & Kate
Kate4/11/2020 3:33 AM
Tonight was the second go at the Chaps & Kate guessing game show, which we have decided will be called "Guess Who with Chaps & Kate: The Barstool Guessing Game....... With A Twist." OoOOooohhh, AAaahhhh!
To be fully honest, I know in my head the vibe of what we want it to be and how we want people to feel when they're hanging out on the stream with us, but there's still a lot of smoothing out kinks & ideas. That being said, both nights so far I've had a really good time with it, and seeing people interact in the chat has been a treat.
So here was tonight's photo from a mystery Barstool content person reenacting the pop culture/art/sports/whatever mystery thing they chose:
Which I then painted on the livestream for people to guess both 1) who it was and 2) who/what they were reenacting. (Livestream viewers are not able to see the photo, only Chaps & I can. They gotta go off the painting alone.) Here's the finished painting...
Any guesses who the person is & what they're reenacting before you scroll on??
If you're at a loss you're a big dum dummy dum because not even 8 minutes into it someone guessed what the Barstool person was trying to reenact, and this was all they had to work with at that point:
Yep - It turned out to be a painting called Christina's World by Andrew Wyeth, which currently hangs in NYC's Museum of Modern Art.
Wyeth's neighbor Anna Christina Olson inspired the composition, which is one of four paintings by Wyeth in which she appears. As a young girl, Olson developed a degenerative muscle condition—possibly polio—that left her unable to walk. She refused to use a wheelchair, preferring to crawl, as depicted here, using her arms to drag her lower body along. "The challenge to me," Wyeth explained, "was to do justice to her extraordinary conquest of a life which most people would consider hopeless."
That's a beautiful story. Powerful stuff. Is that why the person chose it? When asked they replied,
"I thought it was a good view of my ass."
So who is this thicc employee who chose an old painting to replicate just to show off their ass????!
There were lots of guesses…
Has to be KMarko!!!
But people finally got it…
VIBBS! Yep! Ol thicc ass head ass Vibbs!
Once he hopped on the chat to reveal himself Vibbs was shocked to learn that Chaps's truck got stolen:
"Read the blog for once, Vibbs, Christ!" - Chaps
AND he let us know that more new LOWERING THE BAR episodes are on the way!!
So big thanks to him for hopping on with us & be sure to check out his podcast with Large, Twisted History. Genuinely interesting stuff and probably the only time I am actually learning anything on quarantine thus far!
And thanks to everyone who tuned in & stuck with us as we still iron the details out. Appreciate it!
We'll be back on Monday for a full week with a different mystery content person & their recreation each night.

PLEA BARGAIN: JUSTICE OR PROSECUTORIAL DISCRETION
Authors: Anna Chighitashvili
Abstract: A plea bargain is an institution that allows a court to convict without a substantive hearing. Its main priority is that it promotes speedy administration of justice. The institute has been widely established in Georgia and, despite criticism, has been used in most criminal cases since its inception. As a result of the implementation of the principle of speedy justice in the modern criminal process, accelerated litigation will be actively resumed – the so-called Institute of Rapid Court. Due to the peculiarities of using the institution of plea bargain in Georgia and reviewing Georgian legislation in this regard, it can be concluded that plea bargaining has both positive and negative aspects. Specifi cally: the use of a plea bargain institution reduces court costs, speeds up decision-making, reduces the number of cases in the common courts. The institute of plea bargaining is not just about pros. In its application, there may be a risk of a violation of the right to a fair trial guaranteed by the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, which should be avoided by a court of first instance in a judgment of conviction without substantive consideration. It must be assured that the plea agreement does not prejudice the rights and legal interests of not only the accused, but also the victim. It should also be noted that the Georgian version of the modern plea bargain requires additional research, analysis, in particular: an international fo-rensic context, where statistics will examine international experience, a view of judicial practice in the fight against organized crime (drug abuse, trafficking, terrorism).
