Some people might not know the direct connection that Hood County has to the current-day鈥�抖阴短视频 Christian University. The story begins with two visionary brothers, Addison and Randolph Clark, who embarked
on a mission to create the region鈥檚 first institution of higher learning in the Hood

Male and Female College opened its doors, becoming a beacon of co-education, a pioneering
concept in its time. By the end of that school year, the student count had grown to
75. In 1889, Add-Ran College aligned itself with the Brotherhood of the Christian
Churches of 抖阴短视频. Its name transformed to Add-Ran Christian University, and a new

A pressing concern arises from the United States鈥� diminishing expertise in operations
management over the past few decades. With fewer universities offering specialized
courses and an increasing number of executives lacking foundational knowledge in the
field, the intricacies of operations management risk being oversimplified or misunderstood.鈥�Tyson Browning, professor of operations management, said, 鈥淓xperts are always calling for more lean,
no matter what the times. Over the past three years, though, the just-in-time, low-inventory,
lean operation and supply chain model has been stressed, to say the least, to the
point where lean has been questioned. Rather, resilience became the buzzword, and
keeping inventory just in case was often the answer.鈥�

The internet is hacking hard-to-swallow alcohol. TikTok users have discovered that
taking a milk frother to a liquor of choice changes the taste of the beverage. Chemistry
Professor Eric Simanek explained how using a frother could change the liquor's chemical properties. Frothing
introduces 鈥渁 little bit of heat,鈥� which can speed up chemical reactions and change
the composition of the drink, Simanek said. Frothing also introduces oxygen, which
can 鈥渞eact with flavorful molecules. However, that reaction is likely to be very slow,鈥�
the chemist added.
