We were deeply saddened to hear of the death of Travis Stimeling. They were one of the great country scholars, whose books include a discussion of the Austin music scene of the 1970s, a collection of historical primary sources, a series of profiles of West Virginia songwriters, a co-written autobiography of harmonica player Charlie McCoy, the culture and politics of the opioid epidemic, and a history of Nashville studio musicians. This last one, the award-winning Nashville Cats, has proven essential to both of us in our own work: a remarkable examination of the musicians who made “Music City,” Nashville Cats reflects the mixture of close listening, deep research (including interviews with musicians), and big context that characterizes Stimeling’s work more broadly.

Share Right from the start, let’s remember that the most sustainable tree guard is always going to be no tree guard at all. However, guards are used because they perform an important purpose – to protect a newly planted tree from predation, usually from deer and rabbits.   When plastic tree guards were first introduced around 40 years ago, the sector saw a minimum 25% reduction in planting losses. They are still widely used across large planting projects and have become so ubiquitous that they are an easily identifiable sign of new tree planting schemes.

“I've yet to encounter anyone across the landscape of NFL media with the combination of knowledge and detail with regards to offensive and defensive line play as Brandon.

A previous edition of this article was published in Impact (Singapore).The “pre-tribulation” rapture makes better fiction than Biblical interpretation. Yes, sincere Christians today believe in and teach that we will be raptured, caught up to meet the Lord in the air, before the final “Great Tribulation” begins. I was even saved partly through a book that taught that very thing. But the doctrine stands on shaky grounds. No one for over 1,800 years of church history saw the pre-tribulation rapture in scripture because no scripture teaches it.

How much revenue has the x86 line of processors generated for Intel over the years? My best estimate is in 2023 dollars it’s at least $1 trillion by now. How many products, in any industry, that have come anywhere near this level of sales over a period of more than forty years? The great irony, of course, is that the first CPU in the x86 line, the 8086, was never intended to last more than a few years.
