![]() ![]() This simplicity lends the region to provide the base to many blends, though a few distilleries have been kicking out some peated options recently. Traditionally, Lowland Scotch was triple distilled using unpeated malt for a light, simple sweetness. Large in land but small in output, the Lowlands is home to only a handful of distilleries, with Auchentoshan and Glenkinchie being the most well-known. But in general, the north brings rich body and sweetness the west brings rich body and peatiness the south brings delicate drams with light body and the east brings similar lightness with a touch more fruit. ![]() The flavors of the Highlands are too diverse to pin down with a single broad stroke the region is so big that it’s home to distilleries that represent the entire flavor spectrum. Some consider the Islands (and distilleries like Arran) as their own unofficial region. Under the official Scotch Whisky Association guidelines, the Highlands region is made up of all Scottish islands (except Islay) and the mainland of northern Scotland (except Speyside). Because of this, Scotches from the region make great entry-level offerings. The region falls on the opposite side of the flavor spectrum (and map) from the peatiness of Islay. It’s home to the highest number of distilleries in Scotland, with well over 60 at present, including Glenfiddich, the world’s best-selling single malt Scotch. Speysideīisected from north to south by the River Spey, Speyside is a little pocket of land in the northeast of Scotland, surrounded on three sides by the Highlands and the North Sea. Expect peaty drams of some of the best whisky in the world. So, despite its small size, the area carries an outsized distilling resume, with heavies like Laphroaig, Lagavulin and Ardbeg residing there. Islay is a small island that’s believed to have played a major role in distilling crossing the sea from Ireland to Scotland in the 13th century. Blended Scotch Whiskyīlended Scotch whisky is a blend of single-malt Scotch whiskies and single-grain Scotch whiskies distilled at multiple distilleries. ![]() Blended Grain Scotch Whiskyīlended-grain Scotch is made by blending single-grain Scotch whiskies from two or more distilleries. To be considered a single-grain Scotch whisky, the juice must be made at one distillery from a single grain - like corn or wheat - and it can be malted or unmalted. To be considered a blended malt Scotch whisky, it must be made up of two or more single malt Scotch whiskies from multiple distilleries. Single malt Scotch is made from a mash bill comprising 100 percent malted barley and produced in a single distillery. When referring to Scotch, use the term "whisky" and not "whiskey." Types of Scotch Whisky Single Malt Scotch Whisky Scotch can only be called "Scotch" when it's made in Scotland in the same way that wine can only be called "Champagne" when made in the area of the same name. The spirit is made from water and malted barley or other malted grains and aged for a minimum of three years in oak barrels. Scotch whisky is produced in one of the five areas in Scotland. These are the best bottles of Scotch whisky you can buy. Whatever your tastes, we've got a recommendation. Meanwhile, distilleries from the Highlands, the largest region in Scotland, take cues from each of the other regions. Speyside, to the east, with distilleries like The Macallan or The Balvenie, is known for whiskies with a delicate richness that doesn’t rely on peat - so, expect a lot of sherry and rum casks for aging. Whiskies from the Lowlands (like those from Auchentoshan and Glenkinchie) tend to be light and delicate. In general, bottles coming from Islay, such as Laphroaig and Ardbeg, are the smokiest. While every distillery is unique, there are unofficial “regional styles” that can help cut out some of the noise when browsing a liquor store. Novices should start by exploring the regions of Scotland.įor starters, there are five Scotch regions: Speyside, Highlands, Islay, Lowlands and Campbeltown. ![]() From there, it’s easy to move along those two spectrums to find bottles you like. We recommend thinking of each bottle of Scotch as falling somewhere along two spectrums: from light to rich delicate to smoky. Peated or unpeated? Sherry-cask aged, ex-bourbon cask aged or some combination of the two? The tweaks and variations that go into each bottle of Scotch are intimidating, especially for bourbon and rye drinkers who may not be accustomed to the price of a whiskey that’s been aged for 18 years or more. ![]()

An entire rehaul of Austria was released as part of the version 1.44 update in May 2022. Update 1.37 brought changes to French cities of Dijon, Metz, Strasbourg and Reims, with reskin of Lille arriving in version 1.38, rebuild of Calais in version 1.39, and the rebuild of Lyon present in version 1.43. Several French cities received free updates. Germany was rebuilt in stages with Travemünde added in version 1.33, with overall improvements visible in versions 1.32, 1.35, 1.40 with Hannover rebuilt in 1.45. Update 1.30 prepared existing Italy areas for the Italia DLC. Update 1.26 included reworked parts of France, parts outside of Vive la France DLC. Early updates included the cities of Venice, Graz and Klagenfurt. As the initial game areas were mainly ported from older SCS Software games, these older areas did not stand up to the quality of recent expansion packs. The initial reception from fans and media highlighted that areas such as the UK appeared to be unrealistic. Part of SCS Software's recent development philosophy for Euro Truck Simulator 2, amongst releasing paid downloadable map packs, is to improve old areas of the map. ![]() ![]() There are seven items of map downloadable content (DLC) that expand the game to more countries and locations, and multiple other truck and trailer DLCs.Įxcluding downloadable packs, the base game features Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, north-eastern France, Germany, northern Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, western Poland, Bratislava in Slovakia, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. The base game features 71 cities in twelve countries, over twenty types of cargo and over fifteen fictional European companies. This progression allows the player to take on better-paying jobs. Skill points can be used to unlock deliveries that require different ADR classes, longer distance deliveries, special cargo loads, fragile cargo loads, deliveries that are urgent and eco-driving. A skill point is awarded after each level-up. The player gains experience points after each delivery. The skills of the drivers hired by the player also grow with experience and the player can create a huge fleet of the trucks, each with the option of having their own trailer, and drivers to drive the fleet, in turn, expanding the business across Europe. Money earned in the game can be spent on upgrading or purchasing new customizable trucks and ownable trailers, hiring non-player character drivers to take on deliveries, buying more garages and expanding them to accommodate more trucks and drivers. As the player earns money or takes bank loans, they can eventually afford to buy themselves a truck, acquire a home garage, and start accepting better-paying jobs by using their own truck instead of being a driver for hire with equipment being provided. At first, the player can only take what is known as quick jobs-these jobs involve making hired driver deliveries while employed by a delivery company, with a provided truck and all expenses (fuel, road tolls, ferry crossings) covered. When starting out, players choose their headquarters location in any of the game map's cities. Players will have to spend money on refuelling, toll costs in certain countries, and maintenance costs if damage is incurred. The payload must be delivered to the destination within a given amount of time, and with the least amount of damage to the goods as possible, in order to get the most money and experience points possible. Players drive articulated trucks in an open world rendition of Europe, delivering loads to a designated locations in order to be compensated with money and experience points.

Equality of outcome is in clear conflict with liberty. Everyone should have the same level of living or of income, should finish the race at the same time. Equality and liberty were two faces of the same basic value-that every individual should be regarded as an end in himself.Ī very different meaning of equality has emerged in the United States in recent decades-equality of outcome. Neither equality before God nor equality of opportunity presented any conflict with liberty to shape one’s own life. That is still its dominant meaning to most citizens of the United States. Equality came more and more to be interpreted as “equality of opportunity” in the sense that no one should be prevented by arbitrary obstacles from using his capacities to pursue his own objectives. The debate then moved to a different level. That conflict was finally resolved by the Civil War. The obvious conflict between the Declaration of Independence and the institution of slavery occupied the center of the stage. In the early decades of the Republic, equality meant equality before God liberty meant the liberty to shape one’s own life. It will shape our future as it has our past. This attempt continues to dominate our political debate. ![]() The attempt to answer them has shaped the intellectual climate of opinion, led to bloody wars, and produced major changes in economic and political institutions. Since well before the Declaration of Independence, these questions have played a central role in the history of the United States. “Equality, liberty”-what precisely do these words from the Declaration of Independence mean? Can the ideals they express be realized in practice? Are equality and liberty consistent one with the other or are they in conflict? Palm. This essay by Friedman originally appeared in the book Free to Choose: A Personal Statement. 2 Socialist revolutions and manifestations demand economic equality and a transformation of the capitalist system.Editor’s note: This essay is an excerpt of the new Hoover Press book Milton Friedman on Freedom, edited by Robert Leeson and Charles G. This is, again, due to structural factors that discriminate against people and that can be fixed through equity. If everyone is given the same opportunities, the outcome rarely will be the same for everyone. This pillar of equality often stands in contradiction with equality of opportunity. This is crucial for socialism and communism economic thought, as we will see later. It signifies that all individuals should have the same gains for equality to happen. Making it more difficult for disabled people to be unfairly screened out when applying for jobs, by restricting the circumstances in which employers can ask job applicants questions about disability or health 1 Equality of outcomeĮquality of outcome is the fourth pillar of equality. This status can be described as ontological equality. Ontological equalityĮquality is, as we have said, the status of two parts, or individuals in the case of social equality, being equal. These equality theories are ontological equality, equality of opportunity, equality of conditions, and equality of outcome. We will refer to how such pillars are translated into political, economic and philosophical thought. Let's now look at the main theoretical pillars of equality. In the next section, we will look at these in more detail to break down some of the theories. Social equality relates to four types of equalities or pillars of equality: This is a context of discrimination, usually encountered by people who are not societally equal because of their race, sex, gender, ethnicity, age, class, disability, or religion. Social equality stands, therefore, in opposition to societal settings where individuals face social barriers because of some component of their social identity. Social equality is a state of affairs where every person has equal status, rights, and liberties.

The BEP can be calculated for any type of investment. On the other hand, if Microsoft's share price exceeds £285 and reaches £300, you can exercise the option and make a profit in fact, you can buy Microsoft shares at £280, pay a £5 premium and sell them at £300 with a profit of £15 per share. The break-even point in this case is £285, which is the strike price plus the premium, so if the market price doesn’t exceed the BEP, it isn’t going to be profitable to exercise the option. That means we can buy Microsoft shares at £280 per share before the option expires and exercise this right at any time. ![]() Let’s imagine that we bought a call option on Microsoft shares with a strike price of £280 and paid a premium of £5. Let's look at an example with options to get a better understanding of how BEP works in trading. In the finance sector you can also calculate the break-even point of an investment, so you are aware of the price level which has to be reached before making a profit.įor example, in options trading, the BEP equals the price that the underlying asset must be at so that exercising the option doesm’t result in a loss. An investment’s BEP is the value that allows costs to be reset to zero and above which a profit can be generated. In finance, the break-even point is used to understand when the price of a security allows you to pay off transaction fees, such as broker's commissions, taxes and management fees. In addition to risk control and business planning, the BEP can also be used to monitor production activities so a business is in a position to intervene immediately if the break-even point isn’t reached.Īnother use of the BEP is in the real estate sector, where it shows the return a property must generate to cover the amount it cost. In other words, revenues have allowed all expenses to be redeemed. When the break-even point is reached, it means that profits are equal to losses. BEP is widely used in business, for example to understand how many products a company has to sell before its costs are covered. So basically, it’s the point of balance between expenses and revenues that indicates when the costs break even. The break-even point is a parameter used to identify the amount needed to cover costs. ![]() ![]() īeethoven was flattered by the adoration of Vienna, so the Ninth Symphony was premiered on in the Theater am Kärntnertor in Vienna along with the overture The Consecration of the House ( Die Weihe des Hauses) and three parts of the Missa solemnis (the Kyrie, Credo, and Agnus Dei). When his friends and financiers heard this, they urged him to premiere the symphony in Vienna in the form of a petition signed by a number of prominent Viennese music patrons and performers. ![]() Premiere Īlthough most of his major works had been premiered in Vienna, Beethoven was keen to have his latest composition performed in Berlin as soon as possible after finishing it, as he thought that musical taste in Vienna had become dominated by Italian composers such as Rossini. 222, written in 1775, contains a melody that foreshadows "Ode to Joy". Gutman, Mozart's Offertory in D minor, "Misericordias Domini", K. Going further back, an earlier version of the Choral Fantasy theme is found in the song " Gegenliebe" (Returned Love) for piano and high voice, which dates from before 1795. The vocal forces sing a theme first played instrumentally, and this theme is reminiscent of the corresponding theme in the Ninth Symphony. 80, basically a piano concerto movement, brings in a choir and vocal soloists near the end for the climax. The symphony emerged from other pieces by Beethoven that, while completed works in their own right, are also in some sense forerunners of the future symphony. The main composition work was done between autumn 1822 and the completion of the autograph in February 1824. Preliminary sketches (rough outlines) for the work were also made that year, with the key set as D minor and vocal participation also forecast. The Philharmonic Society of London originally commissioned the symphony in 1817. In 2001, Beethoven's original, hand-written manuscript of the score, held by the Berlin State Library, was added to the Memory of the World Programme Heritage list established by the United Nations, becoming the first musical score so designated. ![]() The text was adapted from the " Ode to Joy", a poem written by Friedrich Schiller in 1785 and revised in 1803, with additional text written by Beethoven. The final (4th) movement of the symphony features four vocal soloists and a chorus in the parallel modulated key D major. The Ninth was the first example of a major composer using voices in a symphony. One of the best-known works in common practice music, it stands as one of the most frequently performed symphonies in the world. The symphony is regarded by many critics and musicologists as Beethoven's opus magnum and one of the supreme achievements in the history of music. 125, is a choral symphony, the final complete symphony by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed between 18. ![]() Kärntnertor house orchestra, Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde with soloists: Henriette Sontag ( soprano), Caroline Unger ( alto), Anton Haizinger ( tenor), and Joseph Seipelt ( bass) A page (leaf 12 recto) from Beethoven's manuscript ![]() ![]() ![]() Steward was the fifth Clemson player chosen in the draft this year.
