Remember when Kansas State University alumni and student photographers spent a week capturing life at the university for the book "A Week at Kansas State: Photographs of College Life"?
It was 26 years ago.
Next week, from Oct. 1 to 7, that project will be recreated with a few twists. Instead of resulting in a book, the project will be Web-based.
"We may do a book in the future, but a website allows for video, audio slideshows and still photos, and it lets us reach people around the world," Steve Wolgast, director of Collegian Media Group and an assistant professor at the university's A.Q. Miller School of Journalism and Mass Communications, said.
The A Week at Kansas State project is sponsored by Collegian Media Group, which oversees student publications at Kansas State University.
"We want to show both the usual and the unusual, like students who are parents, veterans, students who work in labs, etc.," said Andy Nelson, R.M. Seaton professional journalism chair and digital media sequence chair at the journalism school.
Current students, staff and faculty who want to help with the photography project are encouraged to email their ideas to Wolgast at email@example.com or Nelson at firstname.lastname@example.com.
As students, both Wolgast and Nelson contributed several photos to the "A Week at Kansas State" book. Wolgast later became news design editor for the New York Times. Nelson became a staff photographer at the Christian Science Monitor, Kansas City Star and Register-Guard in Eugene, Ore., and worked as an independent photographer and multimedia specialist based out of Bangkok.
Co-editors of the project are K-State alumni Maggie Clarkin Spano, who grew up in Topeka and is senior director of operations at Universal Uclick in Kansas City, Mo., and Christopher T. Assaf, originally from Shawnee, who is the multimedia editor/video of the Baltimore Sun, where he has worked since 2003.
Photo editor is Gary Haynes, who retired in 1996 from the Philadelphia Inquirer, where he was assistant managing editor/photo and graphics, and also worked at the New York Times as its national picture editor. Wolgast will serve as publisher.
K-State students participating in the project are Tommy Theis, of Olathe, senior in information systems and photo editor of the Kansas State Collegian; Evert Nelson, Tecumseh, sophomore in pre-journalism and mass communications and photo editor of the Royal Purple; and Erin Poppe, of Burlington, Wash., senior in digital journalism and editor-in-chief of the Royal Purple.
If you know of a person, event or topic pertaining to northeast Kansas that might be of interest to our readers, please let me know. You can call me at (785) 295-1292, email me at jan.biles@cjonline or post to my Capital-Journal-related Facebook page.

So far in this series, we have been examining specific issues concerning the Catholic Church and its history during the Second World War. Through an examination of where the Vatican believed the Church stood, and by looking at the impact made on Catholic thought by the various ideologies that dominated the later nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, I hope to have painted a backdrop against which the history of the Church in individual countries can be explored.
Although Germany was the main instigator and protagonist of the Second World War, from a Catholic perspective it is arguably more important to examine Italy first of all. As we all know, Italy is a predominantly Catholic country. This was the case in the first half of the twentieth century, but there was a complication. During the long drawn-out process of Italian unification, the Catholic Church had proved a substantial opponent to the liberals who wished to create a new country. For once, this was mainly for non-spiritual reasons: the Pope was also the monarch of a substantial slice of central Italy, including Rome.
It was not until 1871 that the Italians managed to wrest control of Rome away from the Papacy, which saw itself henceforth as 'imprisoned' in the Vatican. In retaliation, the new Italian state was effectively excommunicated, which prohibited Catholics from participating in its political process. This caused numerous problems, and lasted until the outbreak of the First World War. For Pope Benedict XV, the war was a real headache, and never more so than with regard to Italy. This was his homeland, and yet he had to maintain the Holy See's strict neutrality. When, in 1915, the country joined the allies in the war, the Papacy made sure that its government realized that it had nothing to fear from the Pope.
The German-led coalition had already made promises to restore the Papal States in the hope of eliciting the Holy Father's support, but the Pope made it clear that he would not accept a solution to the Roman question without the consent of the Italians. It was tantamount to a declaration of support for Italy. Italian Catholics responded by a whole-hearted participation in the war effort, which ensured their re-integration into the Italian body politic. When the war ended in 1918, there had grown a wide consensus that some sort of solution to the problem of the Church's independence had to be found, well before the Fascists took over power in Rome.
In Italy, Catholics began to participate in politics, urged on by the Church's teachings on social justice and worried by the inroads made by Marxism and other radical political ideas. It will not do to over-emphasize the threats posed to the Church by these movements in the years before the Fascist take-over: Mussolini's supporters, including far too many Catholic bishops, used it as an excuse for his dictatorship. But some threats were real, and Pope Benedict XV knew all too well from what had happened in Russia that Communism proffered a very real threat to the survival of his Church.
The root-causes of the Fascist coup d'état are too complex to explore here in much detail. One element that may be highlighted is the brutal aspects of class struggle in Italy, both in the towns and in the countryside. In many ways, Italian Fascism tapped into the utopian ideals of Socialism, whilst at the same time exploring the strident nationalism of the country's liberal past.
For some in the Catholic Church in Italy, these were powerful incentives to at least tacitly approve of the movement. It appeared that Mussolini managed to curb the excesses of capitalism against which various Popes had warned, and at the same time provide an end to both the conflict between the classes and the conflict between Italy and the Church.
This is odd in many ways, not least in the virulent anti-Catholic stance of many Fascists, including Mussolini. He had frequently referred to the Vatican as "a nest of robbers" and called priests "black germs". Indeed, Pope Benedict XV had personally protested against the lies and blasphemy contained within Mussolini's newspaper, Popolo d'Italia. Yet for all that the initial Fascist epoch brought a few small-scale benefits to the Church, culminating in a big price: the granting of a sovereign territory to the Church on the Vatican Hill.
Once they gained power in 1922, the Fascists quickly worked to ensure that the Church did not become too much of an obstacle to their grab for power. "The Fascist's state", wrote Giovanni Gentile on behalf of Mussolini in La dottrina del fascism, "does not attempt, as did Robespierre at the height of the Revolution, to efface God from the soul of man". This was a clear peace offering, written by those at the very heart of the new ideology. And so it proved in reality, for the new regime required the support of the Church to consolidate its hold on power. One particularly helpful element was the abolition of the Italian Catholic Party, a major obstacle to Mussolini, in 1923.
There is no getting away from the facts: to many in the Church Mussolini and Fascism were an attractive option. We may even include Pope Pius XI amongst these, at least for the first decade or so of Fascist rule. To these men the sacrifice of Catholic political freedom in Italy was worth it if it brought the Church security and stability. Many were no strangers to nationalism either. The episode of Bl. Cardinal Schuster of Milan praising the invasion of Ethiopia in 1935 as being a great Italian adventure and a great Catholic crusade are emblematic of this strand of thinking.
The price was a great one: the Lateran Treaty of 1929, in which Italy returned the tiny Vatican enclave to the Holy See as sovereign territory, and the concordat of the same year. This made Catholicism the religion of state in Italy, and gave the Church control over RE in schools. That, in particular, proved a great victory as the Fascists had tried to exclude the Church from the education of the young of Italy. It appeared as if the losses of the past century had been wiped out. It is in this context that one has to read Pius' exclamation of Mussolini as a "great Catholic statesman", the "man who gave Italy back to God and God back to Italy" and as "the man of providence".
The Pope was, of course, being short-sighted – we have to remind ourselves that his infallibility does not extend into the realm of politics! He also did not have the benefit of hindsight. One of his concessions was that the state could control the appointment of bishops, which would horrify the modern papacy, as witnessed by the situation in China. Yet another major problem was the attempt by the Fascists gradually to remove all Catholic organizations from public life. This culminated in 1931 with a closing down of Catholic newspapers and an attempt to end Catholic Action, the non-political social organization.
This first conflict between Vatican and Mussolini since the concordat showed that both Church and Fascists were rather disappointed by what the 1929 agreement had brought, regardless of what was said in public speeches. The Duce tried to suppress the youth wing of Catholic Action, which led to a de facto break in diplomatic relations. Only the services of the fervently pro-Fascist, Fr. Tacchi Venturi S.J., working for Pope Pius XI, kept negotiations going. Mussolini, of course, was sorely disappointed that the concordat had not delivered a quiet and submissive Church, and vented his anger by hitting the Church where Pius felt it most: the young.
The Holy Father's Non Abbiamo Bisogno, the encyclical of 1931 on Catholic Action, would have enhanced his disappointment. In the end, Mussolini backed down, but the honeymoon was over. The Church, her position in Italy consolidated, would from henceforth battle to maintain that position. As we shall see, she would also increasingly criticize elements of the regime believed to be in conflict with Catholic teaching.
Harry Schnitker, Ph.D. was born in Holland to a secularized family with Catholic, Calvinist and Lutheran roots. He moved to Scotland at the age of 18, and attended the University of Wales, College Cardiff (then the Jesuit University of Antwerp, Belgium), and the University of Edinburgh, where he gained a masters. Schnitker completed his Ph.D. in medieval history at the same university. During college and through the study of the Middle Ages, he regained contact with his own Catholic roots.
Since graduating, Schnitker has taught at the universities of Edinburgh and Glasgow, before moving to the Maryvale Ecclesiastical Institute, where he is the senior supervisor of Ecclesiastical History. The institute specializes in long-distance learning, and this allows Schnitker, his wife, son and daughter to live in the countryside of Perthshire, Scotland.
Besides supervising Ph.D. students, he also teaches the history module for those training for the permanent diaconate, and is developing a new course of R.E. for primary education throughout the English-speaking world. He has written for a number of Catholic newspapers and magazines, both in Britain, North America and Holland.
In the past Schnitker has been involved in curating exhibitions, both at a local and national level, and was responsible for the historical St. Ninian's pageant in Edinburgh in 2010 for the state visit of the Holy Father to the United Kingdom. He recently completed a book on the culture of the devotion to Our Lady, and is currently finishing a book on the memory of the saints in Scotland.

Many people would be surprised to know that women assumed combat roles during the time of the Prophet Muhammad and are even credited with saving Muhammad's life. Less surprising is the fact that, today, women in the Middle East make up only 28 percent of the labor force, considerably lower than other regions. Yet, a new and fascinating picture of these women is emerging.

This concise, content-rich volume provides an overview of women's roles in the Middle East and North Africa from the advent of Islam to the present.
Recent research shows that women in the Middle East and North Africa have played much larger roles in society than previously acknowledged. Women's Roles in the Middle East and North Africa explores these roles from both historical and contemporary perspectives, describing and analyzing the lives of women in the regions from the advent of Islam through contemporary times.The book begins with an introduction that examines the pre-Islamic Middle East and North Africa. The balance of the chapters are organized thematically and provide detailed country studies for 19 nations. Chapters discuss work, law, religion, family, politics, and culture, exploring the changes women have undergone over a period of roughly 1,500 years.
Ruth Margolies Beitler, PhD, is professor of comparative politics in the Department of Social Sciences at the United States Military Academy at West Point, NY. Dr. Beitler is the author of The Path to Mass Rebellion: An Analysis of Two Intifadas and coauthor of The Fight for Legitimacy: Democracy vs. Terrorism.Angelica R. Martinez is a U.S. Army officer who teaches international relations and comparative politics at the United States Military Academy at West Point, NY. She served in Iraq and Kuwait as an operations officer in 2003 and as a company commander in 2005.
"Beitler (Comparative Politics, U.S. Military Academy, West Point) and Martinez (International Relations, U.S. Military Academy, West Point) explore the historic and present-day roles of women in Middle Eastern and North African societies. Providing detailed information for 19 countries, chapters examine work, law, religion, family, politics, and culture, showing how the lives of women have changed since the rise of Islam. Revealing how women have played a much larger role in the region than had been thought, this interesting and well written book will appeal to readers wanting to know more about women's lives in this increasingly important part of the world."—Reference & Research Book News

We investigated a nonlinear model of the interaction between nutrients and plankton, which was addressed using a pair of reaction-advection-diffusion equations. Based on numerical analysis, we studied a model without diffusion and sinking terms, and we found that the phytoplankton density (a stable state) increased with the increase of nutrient density. We analyzed the model using a linear analysis technique and found that the sinking of phytoplankton could affect the system. If the sinking velocity exceeded a certain critical value, the stable state became unstable and the wavelength of phytoplankton increased with the increase of sinking velocity. Furthermore, band patterns were also produced by our model, which was affected by the diffusion and sinking of phytoplankton. Thus, the change in the diffusion and sinking of phytoplankton led to different spatial distributions of phytoplankton. All of these results are expected to be useful in the study of plankton dynamics in aquatic ecosystems.

"Worth the time"
This is different material from the original "Prayer of Jabez." Bruce's style of writing and delivery is easy to listen to. If you have seen the Jabez videos, then this is a repeat of them with a few new stories. If you haven't seen the videos, then I really recommend this download. I consider this to be one of the best downloads that I've purchased from Audible.

A group of Crescent High School seniors are engaging in a new career pathway program designed specifically for them to achieve a Tri-County credential by the time they graduate from high school. Pictured from left are (standing) Justin Parnell, Trent Hill, Grant Harbiin, and Nathan Burdette, and (seated) Cheyanne Davis, Ian McCraw, and Blake McDonald.
Crescent Students Get Head Start on College through Tri-County's New Career Pathway Program
CONTACT: DOUG ALLEN, 646-1408 or firstname.lastname@example.com
(By Lisa Garrett)
ANDERSON --- Crescent High School seniors who signed up for a new career pathway program through Tri-County Technical College knew it was a great opportunity to get a head start on college credits. They just didn't realize it posed the potential of earning 20 hours of college credits - giving them more than a semester of college during their senior year.
In addition, if they maintain their LIFE scholarship status, their education at Tri-County for the next two years will be free.
"It's a good deal," said Ian McCraw. "For a small fee, we can a earn a maximum of 20 college hours and a credential during our senior year. It's great to get started early with college," he added.
They're talking about a new career pathway program designed for Crescent High School students to achieve a Tri-County credential by the time they graduate from high school.
Students receive Technical Advanced Placement credit for electricity classes taken in high school; then dually enroll at the Anderson Campus for four Engineering and Industrial Technology classes during their senior year. The program culminates with students receiving a Basic Electronics Certificate by the time they graduate from high school. They also accrue 20-plus hours of college credit towards an associate degree in either Mechatronics or Industrial Electronics.
This innovative career pathways model is the first of several being developed with school districts in the College's service area. These career pathways will provide the employer-defined skills needed in advanced manufacturing, business and other disciplines.
These Crescent seniors travel to Tri-County's Anderson Campus four mornings a week and spend three hours in two classes -- AC DC Circuits II and Digital Electronics.
In the spring they will take two more classes for a total of 20 college semester hours.
"My goal is to finish Tri-County in just three semesters," says Justin Parnell, who plans to major in Industrial Electronics Technology.
Like all of the students, Cheyanne Davis plans to enter Tri-County next fall. "When the College presented this program to us, I saw it as an opportunity, not as more schoolwork. It really reinforces what we have learned in classes at Crescent."
"They are a great group of students," said instructor Doug Allen, who is Industrial Technology department head at the College. "They are well prepared with basic concepts. We take what they have learned at Crescent and use it to do advanced problem solving in preparation for a career as a multi-skilled technician."
Instructor and Tri-County alumna Lisa Nabors, who teaches the Digital Electronics class, agrees. "They are very engaged and prepared beyond their interest and skills. They take initiative, are self-starters and are eager to learn. They come in and get the work done and can solve problems on their own because they had a good background coming in. They will be excellent Tri-County students. I wish I'd had this opportunity when I was their age."

GUILDERLAND The Guilderland boys' track-and-field team finished up a solid season with some good efforts by some young athletes.
The Dutchmen finished the season 7-4 in the Suburban Council, strong enough to win the Gold Division of the league.
"Our losses were to Shen, Colonie, and Shaker who are phenomenal teams right now," Guilderland Coach Dave Kosier said. "We were hoping to beat Saratoga but things did not go our way that day. The 4x100 relay that had been running well all year dropped [the baton on] a hand-off and we were disqualified."
The sprint relays were one of the strong points of the team this year.
The 4x200-meter relay team set a school record in the Eddy Meet in Schenectady with a time of 1:32.46. Yifan Chen, Mike Edmonds, Ethan Doak, and Mike Hieserman ran for the Dutchmen.
"The guys ran very well," Kosier said. "We have a good group of sprinters. They stepped up and we got a lot of points there."
The 4x100 relay team finished third at the sectional meet with a time of 44.52 seconds. The team featured Jeremy Bend, Hieserman, Doak, and Chen.
"We had to change it up a little bit," Kosier said. "We put different guys in there and they would do pretty well."
The Dutchmen as a team finished in seventh place at the Class A sectional meet which they hosted.
"Shen was way ahead with 148 points," Kosier said. "Next was 68 by Shaker. Then it dropped quite a bit. We could've finished third if we got a few more points."
Guilderland's tradition of having a good distance runner continued with senior Roland Graves.
Graves had a best time of 4:21 in the 1,600-meters.
"That's fourth all-time in Guilderland history," Kosier said.
Graves ran 9:35 in the 3,200-meter race at the state qualifier meet in Johnstown but did not qualify for the state meet.
"He's fourth or fifth in Guilderland history in the two miles," Kosier said of the 3,200-meter event. "We got two good performances out of Roland."
Edmonds also did well in the pentathlon.
"He didn't run the 4x100 because he was competing in it," Kosier said of the five-disciplined event. "He won the pentathlon at the Suburban Council championships and was in fifth place in the finals at sectionals. It's neat to have a person be able to do five different events."
Ian Tapler was impressive running the hurdles for the Dutchmen late this spring.
"He finished second at sectionals in the 110 hurdles," Kosier said. "He did a nice job at the qualifier. He didn't qualify, but he finished third. We got a very good performance out of him. He's a junior so he's coming back to us. He'll keep moving up on the all-time list."
Joining Tapler next year is a group of young runners who show tremendous promise for the future of the program.
"The freshman group, I'm excited about," Kosier said. "We took every opportunity to run them and they kept breaking the freshman record. We've got a pretty exciting future. We have a lot of good guys coming back. They'll move up in the ranks and help us move up in the section.
"We want to place a little higher next year," Kosier added. "Overall, it was a good year."

At the entrance to the City Council Chamber early Friday, Rodney Leon Harrison II launched his campaign for Vacaville mayor.
Dressed smartly in a gray suit and red tie, the 18-year-old announced his bid to lead.
"This campaign is basically a unity campaign," he said. "We can work together, fight together to achieve one goal."
Harrison said he would be a collaborative leader that would seek out partnerships and invest in relationships to get things done.
His concerns center around preparing today's youths to be tomorrow's leaders. Scholastically and economically, they're behind, he said.
To address the matter, Harrison plans to create youth centers to help bolster academics and close the wealth gap by creating more jobs and opportunities for youths.
"I am the best choice," he emphasized. "I am the only candidate that can force both parties (Democrat and Republican) to cooperate."
Harrison's family has lived in Vacaville for four generations. He attended both Fairmont Elementary and Vaca Pena Middle School before relocating to North Carolina. The family returned to Vacaville this summer and he began attending Solano Community College, where he studies political science.
His grandfather, V'doe Varnedoe, said he couldn't be happier for him.
"I'm very proud of him. He's an articulate young man," Varnedoe said. "He'll do good for the community and he'll do good for the state of California and his country."
Following the announcement, Harrison filed his paperwork to run for mayor.
City Councilman Ron Rowlett was the first to file and former mayor Len Augustine pulled papers for the position Friday. Deadline to file is Wednesday.

Other than the nursery, this is the only room we have painted. We chose to paint it the Benjamin Moore match to Restoration Hardware's Silver Sage.
This room used to be our second guest bedroom. It had a queen size four-poster bed in it and it was so great to have a second room where guests could sleep. Then we found out we'd be turning our former study into the nursery. We considered not having a study, but because Todd has to work so often on the weekends and because blogging has become such a big hobby of mine, we knew that we needed a space for all of these activities other than a nook in our bedroom.
So we turned the study into the nursery and the second guest bedroom into the study. Our house has four bedrooms, but we just use one as a study/home office.
The desk was mine in high school and I still love it. I bought the file cabinet to match last year. They're both from a company called British Traditions and we found them at Market, of course. Can't beat the wholesale prices.
On my desk, I have the computer, the baby monitor, a return address stamp, two mail sorters, a lamp, and my Junior League binder.
The cafe shelves above the desk are from Ballard Designs and allow us to get some of the junk off of the desk. Desk clutter stresses me out– like any clutter does– so I'm loving these shelves. I wish they'd had an antique white to match the desk and file cabinet, but I like having a few different finishes in the room.
When we installed the shelves, I finally had a place to display all of my wedding coffee table books that Todd loves so much!
The little round table is the Terrific Table from Ballard Designs and I recently purchased the Terrific Table Burlap Fringe table cloth. Ballard is such a great resource for these items because the table cloths fit the tables perfectly and you don't have to have something custom made.
Because we weren't too excited about losing our second guest bed, we decided to get a chair and a half. So we have this large, super comfy chair and ottoman. We can wheel the ottoman out of the way and the chair unfolds into a twin bed. The mattress is paper thin, but it does work for an extra place for someone to sleep when we have lots of overnight guests. (Last fall we had 11 people in our house at once — not including Todd and me– so we were so thankful to have that four-poster bed.) The mirror and lamp came from a company called Uttermost– also found at Market in Atlanta.
We picked up the sisal rug from Strobler, a local furniture store.
The two stacked baskets hold all of my wedding binders and resources, but keep them hidden nicely.
The chifferobe has been mine since I was 2 years old and moved into my first "big girl" room. It has moved approximately 9 times (between family moves and my apartment to house moves), so I had it refinished and repaired right before we got married. It is an excellent source of storage and currently holds all of my scrapbooking materials, ribbons, markers, and all of my wedding-related coffee table books. There is also a tiny TV in the small cabinet and it is so cozy to sit in that big chair to watch TV on a rainy day.
So now you've seen our study/home office. And now you know where I'm sitting when I write all of these posts! Where do you do your blogging?

The extreme thrill ride
It is possibly one of the most terrifying amusement rides you'll ever see.
However, it doesn't seem to stop people from strapping in and riding the Sling Shot.
"90 per cent of the ride is getting into the seat. Once the seat belt is latched, like the ride's over for most people," said Will Willis, who operates the ride.
The Sling Shot was introduced in 2001 by the infamous Thrill Masters, a family owned company based in Calgary. It is the only one of its kind in Canada.
Willis said his favorite part of his job is the reaction he gets to witness each day when people finish the ride.
"You go out on other rides and it's kind of that same thing, you go in a circle. There's not much else out there that can begin to touch it for the extreme's that this meets."
As the saying goes, fear is just fun you haven't had yet.

TALLAHASSEE — The Florida State crowd never gave Greivis Vasquez a break. Boos rained down every time he touched the ball. But he ultimately left the crowd grumbling.
Vasquez scored 23 and Maryland overcame a late rally to beat FSU 71-67 Thursday.
The Seminoles fell to 10-2 at home this season. They had beaten the Terps four consecutive times in Tallahassee.
Maryland (15-6, 5-2 ACC) led by as many as nine in the second half. But FSU (16-6, 4-4) tied the score twice over the final three minutes and had the ball with 38 seconds left, trailing 66-64.
Freshman Michael Snaer drove to the hoop and made a runner but was called for charging with 14.5 seconds left.
"I can't say enough about our team just having the heart to do what they did in the second half," said Maryland coach Gary Williams, whose team beat FSU 77-68 in College Park on Jan. 10. "I was proud of Greivis for keeping his composure."
Vasquez, who added seven assists and seven rebounds, went 4-for-4 from the free-throw line over the final 14 seconds.
"They were talking about deporting me," said Vasquez, a senior from Venezuela. "It was pretty bad. I showed up and was the best player on the court."
The Terrapins outscored the Seminoles 18-7 over the first 5:21 of the second half, turning a four-point halftime deficit into a seven-point lead. Vasquez punctuated the run with a 3-pointer from the wing, his only 3 of the game.
"I thought in that period, we showed a little bit of immaturity and frustration," FSU coach Leonard Hamilton said. "Once we seemed to get back into playing mentally, I thought we played hard and got ourselves back into a position to win. We just couldn't get the stops we needed."
Junior guard Derwin Kitchen scored a career-high 29 for FSU. But the Seminoles shot just 37.7 percent as a team. Starters Deividas Dulkys and Chris Singleton went a combined 1-for-14 for five points.

In honor of those lost and hurt in the Boston Marathon, a small group of runners in Augusta decided to hold a special run at the Augusta Canal Monday evening.
The group ran 2.5 miles to mark the time the bombs went off in Boston during the marathon.
Some of the runners who showed up didn't even know each other before the run.
"Absolutely. You know, when one runner needs help…even on a trail or in a run you'll see people stop and help them despite them trying to make their personal best. People are just there to help, I saw that some of the runners continued on after the marathon and ran to the hospital and donated blood. That is the kind of community you are talking about," says Kristen Lovell, of Evans.

42 Below vodka has taken bartender grumbles on board and reduced the height of its bottle so that it fits on more backbars.
The new bottle also features a re-designed transparent label, and simplified names and clearer differentiation for its fruit flavoured varieties.
The revamp follows the results of the 42 Below Cocktail World Cup, which saw the USA team (pictured) scoop the top prize with a drink snappily entitled 'I have too much thyme on my hands right now at this point in my life' made with 30mls 42 Below Pure, apple bitters, 45ml lime thyme syrup and 15ml Cynar with a garnish of 'compressed apple thyme balls'.
The brand has also announced details of a new Vodka University tour with Jacob Briars. It will visit 8 cities in the UK between 6 and 20 May. Online entries for the 2011 Cocktail World Cup will then be open from 25 May for only one month.
