On the surface of the Sun, spots appear and fade in a predictable cycle, like a great clock in the sky. In medieval Russia, China, and Korea, monks and court astronomers recorded the appearance of these dark shapes, interpreting them as omens of things to come. In Western Europe, by contrast, where a cosmology originating with Aristotle prevailed, the Sun was regarded as part of the unchanging celestial realm, and it took observations through telescopes by Galileo and others to establish the reality of solar imperfections. In the nineteenth century, amateur astronomers discovered that sunspots ebb and flow about every eleven years--spurring speculation about their influence on the weather and even the stock market. Exploring these and many other crucial developments, Pierre Sokolsky provides a history of knowledge of the Sun through the lens of sunspots and the solar cycle. He ranges widely across cultures and throughout history, from the earliest recorded observations of sunspots in Chinese annals to satellites orbiting the Sun today, and from worship of the Sun as a deity in ancient times to present-day scientific understandings of stars and their magnetic fields. Considering how various thinkers sought to solve the puzzle of sunspots, Sokolsky sheds new light on key discoveries and the people who made them, as well as their historical and cultural contexts. Fast-paced, comprehensive, and learned, The Clock in the Sun: How We Came to Understand Our Nearest Star (Columbia UP, 2024) shows readers our closest star from many new angles.

Volexity founder Steven Adair joins the Claroty Nexus Podcast to discuss the Nearest Neighbor Attack, a unique attack carried out by Russia's APT 28 against a high-value target in an attempt to gain intelligence on Ukraine prior to the start of the war in February 2022. APT 28 was able to compromise the Wi-Fi network of its target without being in physical proximity of it. They did so by remotely compromising neighboring organizations, accessing their Wi-Fi networks—creating a daisy-chain of breaches and compromises—until they were able to reach their target.

The Power of Flocking: The Seven Nearest…   In this episode, Bishop Michael Hunn applies the concept of 'flocking' as described by adrienne maree brown in her book 'Emerging Strategy' to live in the Episcopal Church.  By examining how birds, bees, and fish use flocking for defense, energy conservation, and resource finding, the video draws parallels to church congregations. It proposes an innovative approach where each church member focuses on connecting with the seven people nearest to them, fostering a deeper, more connected community. The idea extends to diocesan levels, encouraging clergy and church leaders to maintain regular, intentional connections with their peers. This transformative model aims to strengthen the church's unity and efficacy, aligning with early Christian practices.   00:00 Introduction to Flocking 01:02 Flocking in Nature 01:33 Flocking and Energy Conservation 02:00 Flocking for Resource Finding 02:51 Applying Flocking to Church 03:00 The Seven Connections Concept 04:01 Implementing the Concept in Congregations 05:56 Diocesan Level Connections 07:53 Broader Implications and Conclusion 09:10 Preview of Next Video

This week a slight departure as Chris Diamond returns to take a leisurely meander through the world of British comedy, randomly choosing from a selection of topics (such as Who Was The Fifth Goon?) and pondering upon the genius (or otherwise) of such performers as Kenneth Williams, Michael Bentine, Bob Monkhouse, Arthur English, Hinge & Bracket, Bernard Manning and Spike Milligan, plus shows such as 15 Stories High, The Good Life, One Foot In The Grave, Blackadder, Nearest & Dearest, French & Saunders and Rising Damp.

At one point or another, every person in the spirits industry is almost certain to have their career altered, influenced, or shaped by personal relationships. On a business-to-business level, many brands the Park Street Insider Podcast has hosted over the years echo similar sentiments around the crucial role partnerships have played in their trajectory. No brand is constructed in a vacuum, and the long-term success of each is often tied to the quality of partnerships they form with the companies around them at every stage of development. The value of strong brand partnerships is perhaps no more evident than through the brand-building journey of Chris Montana, co-founder of Du Nord Social Spirits. Hailing from Minnesota, Du Nord's growth was boosted by its ability to carefully align with the right partners. Being the first business to graduate from the Nearest & Jack Advancement Initiative, a partnership between Jack Daniel's and Uncle Nearest to increase diversity in the American whiskey industry, Chris was able to leverage this partnership into another: a deal with Delta Airlines. So land a deal with the number one airline in the U.S. and you've made it, right? For Chris, Du Nord found itself in a scenario a bit like when the dog catches the car, having attained a major value-add and needing to learn on the fly how to navigate it. Chris is joined by Andres Correa to piece together how Du Nord was able to attract and navigate the challenges that came with a major partnership with Delta Airlines.

A Cruise leads to a Coastal meet-up with a gameshow babe.By BradentonLarry for Literotica -  Listen to the Podcast at Explicit Novels.“Well, boys, are you going to keep those hard-ons to yourselves?” Toshia chided.Unsurprisingly, the black guy led the way, taking the few steps and climbing up onto the bed, followed closely by the young man who had been waiting longest, and who Toshia now saw had a fairly long, thin cock standing out in front of him. These two had been closest to Toshia’s side of the bed, so they came toward her, while the two younger guys moved toward Shelonda, who offered them a friendly smile.Toshia found herself briefly wondering how so many guys had come into this room, but decided she didn’t really care. She crawled on her hands and knees toward the side of the bed a bit, to make more room for Shelonda, and found a hard black cock almost in her face. Smiling up at the two men who were in front of her; well, in front of her and a bit to her left; Toshia proceeded to lean forward and wrap her hand around that dark cock as she brought the head of it to her lips. She figured the men had all been teased enough already, so she didn’t hesitate to open her mouth to suck the dark purple head into her mouth. Playing her tongue over it for just a moment, Toshia leaned forward a bit more and let the flaring head slide deeper into her mouth and then down her throat a bit. She felt male hands moving over her back. One of them moved down to caress and squeeze her butt. Fingers slipped between her cheeks to stroke her wet pussy lips and then up to tease her asshole. She groaned her approval, and managed to catch hold of the long, thin cock to her left, squeezing and pulling on it. Toshia felt fingers pushing up into her cunt, and she moaned. Once those fingers were nice and slippery with her juices, they were withdrawn and then slowly pushed up into her butt. Toshia shuddered and pulled herself off the black cock she’d been sucking. She continued to pull and twist on that with her right hand as she began to suck on the long, thin cock in her left. She had little trouble taking this one down her throat even though it was the longest cock she’d had that night. While she was sucking his cock, the young man kept working his fingers in and out of her butt, while the black guy continued caressing the rest of her body.After several minutes of Toshia going back and forth from one cock to the other, she looked up at the black fellow and said, “Lie down on your back.” She then said to the other man, “You’re going to fuck my ass, OK?”His only response at the moment was vigorous nod of his head. Of course, the black guy had immediately managed to lie down along the side of the bed.As Toshia moved around and straddled her willing partner, she glanced over to see that Shelonda was sprawled, half-twisted, on her half of the bed. The Asian kid was between her legs, going down on her enthusiastically, while Shelonda was making a good effort at sucking on the other boy’s fat cock.Then, Toshia was pushing the thick head of the black cock up into her pussy. She gave a happy whimper as she settled down on him, letting his cock fill her nicely. She worked herself up and down a few times, grinding herself against the man’s rock hard abs, before nodding over her shoulder to the other fellow. She didn’t have to wait long for him to get into position behind her, and then to feel the head of his cock pushing against and then into her tight ass. Toshia braced herself with her hands on the black man’s chest as she felt that long, thin cock working its way deeper and deeper into her bowels. She smiled broadly and said, “Damn, this feels so good!”Toshia began to rock her hips between the men, who were doing their part to fuck their cocks in and out of her willing body. The black guy had her waist in his big hands, and the guy fucking her ass was holding onto her shoulders, pulling her back on their hard pricks. She heard Shelonda moaning loudly with what must be another orgasm, and heard herself calling out, “Fuck me harder!”The two men obliged with gusto, proceeding to shove into her almost violently. They had gotten into a good rhythm, and Toshia could feel her next orgasm coming on fast. As a result, she wasn’t too aware of what was going on elsewhere on the bed, so she was a bit surprised when she opened her eyes to see another cock in front of her face. Looking up and around, she saw that Shelonda was on her back with the big-cock fellow between her legs, filling her with that beautiful piece of man-meat. The young Asian guy had come over to get in on Toshia’s little group. As occupied as she was at the moment, Toshia couldn’t do much more than smile up at him and then offer him her open mouth. He didn’t hesitate, but inched forward on the bed, and pushed his very hard cock into her mouth. She closed her lips on his shaft and reveled in the sensations of being completely filled with cock. The Asian kid held her head in his hands, and Toshia relaxed her throat, letting him fuck her face steadily.Toshia came long and hard then, her body clenching and shuddering in the center of those three men who were fucking her so intently. As she slowly came down, she began to have an idea, which gradually coalesced into a plan. She managed to indicate to the Asian kid that she needed to say something, and he promptly, and politely, drew back. Taking just a moment to catch her breath, Toshia quickly explained to them what she had in mind. Giving her shoulder a kiss, the man who had been fucking her ass gradually withdrew and stepped aside for the moment. His place was taken by the Asian kid, who didn’t waste any time at all before pushing his raging hard on into her ass. After a few preliminary thrusts from each of the guys inside her, Toshia announced that she was ready for the third. The man with the long, thin cock got behind the Asian kid and bent his long shaft down until it was up against the black phallus in her pussy. The black guy pulled out almost all the way, and Toshia made every effort to relax, as the third cock pushed forward, entering her pussy with the black cock.Toshia was dimly aware of the sound of Shelonda having a rather loud and long orgasm, but was lost in the unbelievable sensations of having both her ass and pussy stuffed so full. Three cocks were moving in and out of her, stretching her; filling her! Then Toshia was coming again, in a shaking avalanche complete with a steady stream of “Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck…” All the while the men kept driving in and out of her steadily, and Toshia’s orgasm seemed to roll on forever.Except that it did eventually begin to fade, and Toshia could open her eyes again. She was happy, and a bit surprised, to see the fellow with the big cock who had been fucking Shelonda kneeling in front of her. She cast a glance over to the side to see that yet another guy had come into the cabin and had gotten Shelonda to roll over on her belly so that he could fuck her from behind. Turning her attention back to that beautiful, big cock in front of her, which was now all slippery with Shelonda’s juices and pearly with cum, and only a bit deflated, Toshia smiled and opened her mouth invitingly.It wasn’t easy to accommodate that sexy monster, but the young man was surprisingly gentle, and Toshia gave it her best shot. She doubted that he would cum that way, but he quickly became fully hard again for her.Toshia couldn’t believe she had four cocks in her all at once! The very thought; assisted by all the stimulation her body was getting, no doubt; pushed her over the edge into yet another orgasm. This one was less intense, but it was still enough to prompt the cock inside her ass to swell and pump what felt like quite a lot of hot cum up into her. After a few more strokes, the Asian kid began to pull himself out of Toshia’s butt and managed to extract himself from the tight little knot of bodies centered on Toshia. Since he’d had to pull out of her pussy to let the Asian leave, the fellow with the long, thin cock took his place, slipping easily into Toshia’s ass in one motion. Once there, he fucked her with short, hard, fast motions, until he too filled her with his cum.When her ass was once again free of cock; but had sticky, white cum leaking out of it and down over the black guy’s balls; Toshia managed to suggest that the guy with the big cock fuck her ass with it. Of course, he was quite willing to oblige. Toshia came yet again as his big head pushed up into her ass, while the black guy patiently continued to slowly fuck in and out of her pussy. She just kept coming as the two men sawed in and out of her, until, finally, the black cock swelled inside her and flooded her pussy with sweet cum. He stayed there inside her as his de facto partner continued to fuck the hell out of Toshia’s ass. When that thick cock got even thicker inside her, Toshia screamed a bit. She felt the welcome rush of his cum shooting up into her and then she was unconscious.When she eventually opened her eyes again, she was on her back and looking up into Don’s eyes. Don was brushing the hair out of her eyes and smiling down at her. He said, “It seems like you’ve had a good time, lover.”“Um!” she managed. Then she realized that Don was fucking her, slowly, steadily. Toshia smiled and said, “I’ve been very busy.”“I can tell,” Don laughed.Toshia knew that she must be quite a sight, and that there must be quite a mess on the bed and between her legs. She was vaguely aware that Shelonda was being fucked, or something, on the other side of the bed. Don was fucking her a bit harder, and she bit her lip.“Does it hurt?” he asked.“A little,” she smiled. “Do you care?”“Not really, no.”“Good,” she smiled. “Fuck me, Don.” She pulled his head down so she could kiss him while his cock moved in and out of her sloppy, very well-used pussy, until it too swelled inside her, jerking as Don groaned and added his cum to the rest.Don relaxed, propped up on his elbows a bit. He watched the action on the enormous blanket with an amused smile. Nearest to him, almost within arm’s reach, Toshia was on her hands and knees, being taken from behind by a fit fellow who looked to be Arabic, or possibly Persian, while she was rather enthusiastically servicing the thick cock of the young guy with light blonde hair who was kneeling in front of her. Don realized, quite happily, that he could watch her go all day – and, then, with a widening grin, that he pretty much had done just that several times here in Eros. He admired her sleek muscular body as she moved between the two men, particularly the way her thighs and buttocks flexed as she pushed back against the dark-haired man behind her. The afternoon sun shone on her tanned back and the spray of dewy white cum Don had left there only a couple of minutes earlier. Of course, the way Toshia was eagerly sucking and stroking on that big cock in front of her was quite impressive too. It didn’t hurt that he had come to be so familiar with being on either end of that wonderful, exquisitely responsive body over the last few weeks.Beyond Toshia and her two playmates, Don could see Shelonda moving up and down as the sexy young woman rode the prodigious cock of a black gentleman whose hands were squeezing her big tits tightly, eliciting additional happy sounds from her. Life in Eros is good! Don thought to himself. I’m going to miss this!Then, with a somewhat rueful shake of his head he slowly stood up and looked around. Around them, lightly checkering the pale, pinkish beach were other over-sized beach blankets, some of which were occupied by naked sunbathers, many of whom were engaged in activities much like those of Toshia and Shelonda. On Don’s left, the beach swept on until it gave way to a rocky tumble that gradually, over several miles, began to mount up to what seemed to be rather steep mountains that Don thought must march down from up near the Resort and the Sage’s tower. That rocky end of the mountains marched right into the body of water that spread out before Don. Just after the rest of the smooth sand of the beach and the occasional gleaming rocky outcropping, was the open sea, or ocean, or large lake. Don had never seen water so blue in his life, and he had seen some surprisingly blue water before, as for instance the Mediterranean off the coast of Greece. On Don’s right was a green, rocky area that separated the beach and the mouth of the river he and the girls had traveled down to get this far, several kilometers away. Behind Don, on a handful of small hills, was the strange “city” of Rendezvous.After they had disembarked from the riverboat, leaving behind the cheerful, lazy swinging atmosphere that had prevailed on their slow trip down from the Resort, the now very relaxed trio had made their way from the docks into the town, expecting to be able to make quick and easy progress through and to the water, when they would turn to the left and follow the waterline to the Grotto of Ishtar.As it turned out, though, Rendezvous had proven to be a harder to get through.The city seemed to be laid out on an almost non-Euclidean plan. Streets continued on in straight lines for no more than a block at a time, and two right angled turns did not equal 180 degrees. To make things worse, cutting through buildings utterly failed to achieve its purpose. Walls that were parallel on the inside of a building did not translate as parallel on the outside. Moreover, moving through a building frequently resulted in exiting in a completely different part of town. All of this resulted, somehow, in the city being, apparently, much larger than it appeared from an external viewpoint, as from the docks or where they were on the beach. The wide variety of sexual distractions to be had through every door and around every corner. It seemed that the harder they tried to make their way through Rendezvous the more they would go off track and get distracted. Toshia’s favorite place had been a little club that featured little rooms with various glory holes in the walls. They had spent several hours there, and Toshia had ultimately come out of her chamber with her face and chest splattered with cum and jizz running down the insides and backs of her legs. Shelonda had been quite partial to a building that was filled with a wild combination of padded jungle gym and what Don thought of as a human-sized cat playhouse. There were crazily varied platforms, like a maze laid out in three dimensions, serving as the surfaces of an ongoing orgy. Don had a hard time choosing favorites at the best of times, and there were so many options to pick from in this situation, but he thought he would probably have to say his favorite part of making his way through Rendezvous had been watching the two girls react and enjoy the whole experience. Of course, this was not to say that he had not also enjoyed all the sex he himself had had.Once they had finally reached the beach they were ready to take a nice rest. Seeing the rocky terrain that would keep them from easily proceeding to the grotto helped to take a bit of the wind from their sails as well. So they collapsed on the nearest empty beach blanket and quickly fell asleep in a cozy little pile. Perhaps because of the relatively high concentration of XYZ in the ocean, or sea, air, though, they were soon as randy as they had been at any time in Eros. They awoke very horny, and the nearby guys were more than happy to help out. Don was surprised at how thick and hard his cock was even after the vigorous orgasm he had just had – both in Toshia’s sweet pussy and all over her back. He thought he would go over to offer himself to Shelonda’s mouth, but just then was distracted as a woman sauntered toward them on her way down to the water.She was a leggy blonde, with long, wavy hair of gold, a phenomenal, curvy body with amazing tits, and her face… Don was certain he recognized her from somewhere. Noticing his attention, the woman smiled broadly at him and gave him a merry wink. Suddenly Don knew exactly where he had seen her. She was a model on The Price is Right back in what he thought of as the real world. He spent a long moment standing there stunned, before making the obvious choice and turning to follow the gorgeous blonde down to the water. He admired the way her hips swayed as she made her way to the water, and then continued to wade in. When she was up to her waist, which Don thought was a shame since he could no longer see her shapely ass, she dove forward and under the water.Don was up to his knees in the surprisingly warm water by the time she resurfaced, emerging from the water like Aphrodite, her thick hair darkened and hanging around her radiant face and water glistening as it ran off her shoulders and full breasts. She smiled again to Don, who hastened to wade in further. She waited for him, her nipples just above the water line. She batted her long lashes at him as he came up close enough to say, “Hello.”She unleashed that dazzling smile again, and said, “Hello there. Have we met?”“Not really, no,” he almost stammered.“Well, I’m Rachel,” she continued to smile, as Don felt her hand touching his hip under the water and then move directly to his cock, which was the hardest it had ever been. Don also felt quite sure that it was bigger than it used to be.“I know,” Don smiled back, moving closer and gently grasping her waist under the water.“You do?” She leaned in and kissed him lightly on the lips and then moved in even closer, brushing her lips over Don’s collar bone and then along the side of his neck. Her grasp on his straining penis was tight as she pulled on it.“Yes…” Don shuddered a bit. His hands moved around her waist to slide down her lower back and then to hold her behind tightly. “Someone told me your name.”Releasing her hold on his prick, Rachel slipped her arms around his neck and looked into his eyes. Her wonderfully full breasts were pressed against Don’s chest as she asked, “Who?”“It was a long time ago,” Don smiled, “and far away.”She cocked her head to the side a bit, her smile a bit thoughtful, before she said, “Well, it’s very nice to meet you…”“Don,” he said. He lifted her up as she pulled herself up and jumped a bit in the water, wrapping her perfect, long legs around his waist.Rachel managed to get her hand down between them, took hold of his straining prick, and positioned it just right. As she sank downward, enveloping him in her warm, welcoming embrace, she said, “Well, it’s very nice to meet you, Don.”Up to his chest in the XYZ sea, Don held on to the gorgeous Rachel, helping to raise and lower her as she slowly rode up and down on his thick and steely hard cock. Her lush, full breasts moved against his chest. His hands held her firm ass cheeks tightly. Their mouths met in a heated kiss that quickly grew in passion, their tongues slipping past each other’s lips and teeth. Rachel worked herself on Don’s shaft and against his body with increasing enthusiasm

Nearest Point of Complete Relief, Movable or Immovable Obstruction, What is a Club-Length and What is the Longest Club in your Bag - GOLF RULES SCHOOL https://golfrulesschool.com/⁠ Hosted by Marcela Smith and David Blake Welcome to the Golf Roll School podcast. If you've ever had a question about the Rules of Golf, a dispute, a disagreement, or maybe worse, you're in the right place to learn the Rules of Golf. For episode eight, we discuss a common situation about Nearest Point of Complete Relief from interference by a cart path. The player then hits their ball near an obstruction, to which they try and move, but it can't be moved, so now it has become an immovable obstruction. The player measures out their relief area, but only uses the iron in their hand rather than the longest club in his bag (except his putter), is this permitted? I hope you enjoyed this episode, very free to comment and ask further questions on the Rules of Golf that we can discuss on the podcast.

On the surface of the Sun, spots appear and fade in a predictable cycle, like a great clock in the sky. In medieval Russia, China, and Korea, monks and court astronomers recorded the appearance of these dark shapes, interpreting them as omens of things to come. In Western Europe, by contrast, where a cosmology originating with Aristotle prevailed, the Sun was regarded as part of the unchanging celestial realm, and it took observations through telescopes by Galileo and others to establish the reality of solar imperfections. In the nineteenth century, amateur astronomers discovered that sunspots ebb and flow about every eleven years—spurring speculation about their influence on the weather and even the stock market. Exploring these and many other crucial developments, Pierre Sokolsky provides a history of knowledge of the Sun through the lens of sunspots and the solar cycle. He ranges widely across cultures and throughout history, from the earliest recorded observations of sunspots in Chinese annals to satellites orbiting the Sun today, and from worship of the Sun as a deity in ancient times to present-day scientific understandings of stars and their magnetic fields. Considering how various thinkers sought to solve the puzzle of sunspots, Sokolsky sheds new light on key discoveries and the people who made them, as well as their historical and cultural contexts. Fast-paced, comprehensive, and learned, Clock in the Sun: How We Came to Understand Our Nearest Star (Columbia UP, 2024) shows readers our closest star from many new angles.

In this week's episode, we're re-airing one of our top episodes from last year with Fawn Weaver. Fawn is a serial entrepreneur and NYTimes bestselling author, and when she learned about the story of Uncle Nearest Green — the slave who taught Jack Daniel how to distill whiskey — she decided to create a company that would bring his legacy to life.After learning about Uncle Nearest and Jack Daniel's interconnected history, Fawn followed the story down to Tennessee, which led her to purchase the 300-acre farm in Lynchburg, Tennessee, where Nearest taught Jack how to distill. She initially thought of honoring Nearest's story with a book or movie, but decided the best way to preserve his legacy was with a bottle of the best Tennessee whiskey she could make. With no background in distilling, she threw herself into an industry mostly dominated by white men and a few major corporations. Since they launched, Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey has become the fastest growing whiskey brand in US history, and has over $100+ million in revenue.In our conversation, Fawn discusses the importance of confidence in leadership and success, and what we can all do today to build more confidence in our lives. She shares her early life challenges, from homelessness to suicidal thoughts, and how she overcame the toughest of times and the biggest learnings she had along the way. Fawn talks about the serendipity around her launching her business and the biggest factors that have helped create the incredible growth they've seen, and so much more.In this episode, we'll talk to Fawn about:* How Fawn has cultivated her confidence in the darkest of times. [03:09]* Faith's role in Fawn's confidence. [04:58]* Practical approach to how Fawn overcomes any fear in her life. [06:23]* Handling bad days; giving herself space and having a pray-first approach in everything. [10:16]* Fawn's most impactful experience: Leaving home at 15, third homeless shelter [15:55]* Fawn's perspective on boundaries and outgrowing people. [26:24]* The pivotal moment when Fawn learned about Uncle Nearest and Jack Daniel's interconnected history and how it inspired her journey. [30:46]* Fawn's whiskey venture epiphany without prior experience. [39:50]* Having an all-women leadership team in a male-dominated spirits industry. [42:10]* Early brand awareness tactics and business growth factors. [46:52]* Fawn's experience fundraising and how she managed the rejections early on. [50:41]* Finding the gem inside failure and how it builds confidence and strength. [57:07]* The importance of knowing your "Why” when it comes to starting a business.

In this episode of the Club + Resort Talks podcast, Editor-in-Chief Rob Thomas chats with Scott Lambert, Atlanta Country Club Superintendent, and David Birdwell, a member and former Club President, to talk about a major renovation project. The multi-faceted renovation included significant infrastructure updates and design alterations to the golf course as well as new and improved practice facilities and additional off-course amenities to enhance the experience for current members and future generations. The project was led by golf course designer Beau Welling and his firm, Beau Welling Design. Rob and Senior Editor Phil Keren also touched upon a New York town that's considering slicing into one of its golf course for a residential development. The 18-hole layout at Brighton Park Golf Course in Tonawanda, N.Y. may be converted into 12 holes if a plan comes to fruition. Town officials are eyeing this property because the town has limited land available for new, larger-scale residential development. “There will be a revolt,” warns Paul Wzontek, Vice President of the Brighton Park Golf Club Board of Directors, about the proposal. Lastly, Dobson Ranch Golf Course in Mesa, Ariz. has increased its tech usage by 30% in the first three months after partnering with Inrange on its driving range. Dobson Ranch has already utilized the gamification of practice to host Long Drive, Nearest to Pin and Shrinking Target (a skills challenge unique to Inrange) contests. “Numbers don't lie – we are killing it right now,” said Matt Stark, VP of Partnerships for Dobson Ranch.

March 10, 2024 • Faithfulness to Those Nearest: Commandments 5 & 7 – Aaron Hill by All Souls Anglican Church

In 2016, Fawn Weaver became fixated on a New York Times article telling the little-known story of Nearest Green, a formerly enslaved man who taught Jack Daniel—yes, that Jack Daniel—how to make Tennessee whiskey. After diving deeper into the story, Fawn ended up purchasing the farm in Lynchburg, Tennessee where Nearest had taught Jack how to distill; and she began meeting the descendants of both men. She eventually decided the best way to preserve Nearest's legacy was with a bottle of the best Tennessee whiskey she could make. With no background in distilling, she threw herself into the insular world of spirit-making, an industry mostly dominated by white men. In the eight years since Fawn first discovered his story, Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey has become one of the fastest-growing whiskey brands in the world, and one of the most awarded American whiskeys.This episode of How I Built This was produced by Liz Metzger and edited by Neva Grant.
