Nordhorn Baptist Church looks to Lynx Pro Audio for clearer voice reproduction German Baptist church Baptistenkirche Nordhorn recently enlisted the help of Pan-pro GmbH in order to improve sound reinforcement inside the church. The church needed to upgrade its sound systems for clear voice reproduction and the installer opted for the use of Ionic column speakers, which are designed for reverberant installations such as houses of worship. “It has been found that the Ionic series from Lynx Pro Audio delivers excellent results, especially in acoustically demanding rooms,” commented Pan-pro audio consultant Tom Fuhrmann. “Significantly improved speech intelligibility and a balanced sound image were decisive for the customer’s satisfaction.” Installed inside Baptistenkirche Nordhorn are three Ionic-100 for the main area, seven Ionic-50 for the senior space and under balcony area, and a single Ionic-18S subwoofer all fed by Yamaha MTX5D and RS4-4000 amplifiers.

This week's piece features Beth Nordhorn who at 6-foot-6 is the tallest player in Carolina volleyball history and is poised to continue a breakout spring this fall What feels better: getting a big kill or a big block A big block is just amazing because there is nothing better than shutting down a hitter across the net and helping your defense out I was assigned that number on my first club team and I kept it because I am the third daughter in my family At what age did you start to play volleyball and in what league or at what level I started by trying out for my middle school team in 6th grade I actually played club for the first time at 13 What part of your game do you want to improve the most this spring My blocking is one skill I've really focused on What other sports or sport skills are you good at but I've been told by another player that I remind her of Napoleon Dynamite I'm good at shooting volleyballs into carts and besides that What is one random fact we do not know about you What part of Carolina convinced you to choose UNC for college The overall combination of athletics and academics is amazing here Who is your closest friend who plays for another college volleyball team If you could go back and relive one match from your career we played an area rival (Timber Creek) to make it to district finals in the playoffs Our team had lost to this school twice before that year We beat them in that match in a five-set thriller and I still remember how incredible every point felt If you could choose one destination in the world for a vacation that you have never visited before because of how beautiful the huts in the ocean there look What was your favorite high school athletic accomplishment (game Our state championship was my favorite because the previous year we had made it to the finals and lost in 5 sets We worked for an entire year to make sure that did not happen again and winning my last year in high school was very satisfying If you could have a particular skill or ability of any current or former athlete The jumping ability of Michael Jordan Who is your pre-game "must listen to" musical artist What teammate and/or coach has given you the best advice about being a Carolina volleyball player and what was it One time in a drill I was struggling and Sheila Doyle said “Be confident I think that advice translates past the drill to all facets of being a Carolina student-athlete What is an essential part of your pregame routine The middle blocker/right side high fives after our pre-game passing warm-up Who do you call/talk to/text after every game because they always find a way to watch the games whether in person or through a live camera feed What TV show do you have to watch every week I look up to both of my parents and my older sister I feel so blessed to have such great role models so close to me I am still exploring which field of medicine I am most interested in but would love the opportunity to help people through my interest in human anatomy and physiology How is Carolina and Carolina volleyball helping you achieve your goals for after graduation Carolina and Carolina volleyball are both such well thought of in their respective areas of academics and athletics Being able to say I went to a school and played for a team of that caliber will be an immeasurable advantage when applying to medical schools after college being at Carolina in general is such a pleasure.  Animal keepers had collected the egg in the muddy ground under a tree where it had been dropped by a griffon vulture called Lisa, said national news agency DPA. "Lisa had made no attempt to build a nest," the report quoted Nordhorn zoo spokeswoman Ina Deiting as saying. The egg was temporarily placed in an incubator before being entrusted to the male couple, Isis and Nordhorn, who "promptly sat on it," said Deiting. The biological parentage of the egg is unclear, and zoo keepers also don't know yet whether it is fertilised. The story of Isis and Nordhorn is the second involving gay birds to make news in Germany this month. Several days ago newspapers reported that the gay king penguin couple Stan and Olli had been moved from a Berlin zoo to an all-male enclosure in Hamburg.
