The 2024 5-Bottle Buffalo Trace Antique Collection

KSO free Summer concerts on the lawn tie a variety of culture and entertainment, to family fun and memory-making via the distilled spirits of Kentucky.

COVINGTON, KY, UNITED STATES, May 13, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Kentucky Symphony Orchestra will hold its Annual Rare Bourbon Raffle on May 17 to help fund free concerts in Devou and Tower Parks this Summer (July - August). Great neighbor and long-time supporter — The Party Source — has donated a 6-bottle set (2024 release) of Old Rip & Pappy Van Winkle Bourbon, a 5-bottle Buffalo Trace Antique Collection, as well as 28 rare and pricey bourbons for the KSO’s annual fundraiser. These raffles help fund the KSO’s free education outreach concerts for 260 regional schools, and free, family-friendly park concerts, which have become a Summer tradition over 30 years.

The November 2024 release of Old Rip & Pappy Van Winkle yielded more 20 & 23 yrs, but fewer Rye than 2023, yet the complete “vertical set” still remains hard to find in 2025. Tickets are $100 per chance and limited to 750. One winner will be drawn on Saturday night, May 17th at 9:00 p.m. to win all six bottles.

A second tasty raffle will be held for the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection — George T. Stagg (15 yr), Sazerac Rye (18 yr), W.L. Weller (12 yr), T.H. Handy (6yr) and Eagle Rare (17 yr) — Tickets are $50 and limited to 900 chances (100 fewer than last year).

A third raffle brings back the KSO’s 20 Bourbons / 20 Winners. Hard to find and rare bourbons and lots include: Weller Antique, Full Proof & 12 year CYPB (3 bottle set), King of Kentucky (16 yr), Col. E.H. Taylor Single Barrel (Uncut), 13th Colony (15th Anniversary), Parker Heritage 10 yr Rye Cask Strength, plus 15 more delicious and scarce bourbons. Tickets for the 20/20 raffle are $25 per chance and limited to 1500. One ticket will be drawn for each bourbon or lot. View all of the bourbons and buy tickets: https://kyso.org/bourbon-raffle-tickets/

This year's bourbon raffle is more urgent, due to the NEA's (National Endowment for the Arts) rescinding of a grant it had already awarded the KSO for its 2025 free park concerts. "Though the KSO is not entitled to any public or private funding, remarked KSO founder James Cassidy, the $10,000 award and national announcement (made in January), and a follow-up inquiry in February, assured us that the 2025 award was still on track. So when we received an email a week ago saying that the funding had been withdrawn, it placed even more fiscal pressure on the KSO's only fundraiser.

The drawing will be live-streamed on the KSO’s website (kyso.org) and on Facebook Live beginning at 9:00 p.m. on Saturday, May 17, 2025. (Ticket sales end at 4 p.m. on May 17.) Winners need not be present to win, but will be notified by email and sent instructions regarding how to pick up their bourbon prize in-person or via a representative with proper ID. The KSO cannot legally ship bourbons (Northern Kentucky Symphony, Inc. Charitable Gaming License #2704). Give your “angel’s share” to bring free culture, nostalgic entertainment and great music to area schools and parks by buying a chance to win amazing bourbons, and supporting the Kentucky Symphony Orchestra.

Ikan International Wins Three 'Best of Show' Awards at InfoComm 2025

Industry Recognition Validates Company's Leadership in Integrated Studio Solutions and Power-over-Ethernet InnovationOrganizations that previously relied on external studios or accepted lower-quality presentations now have access to broadcast-grade capabilities that integrate with their existing IT infrastructure.”— James Tian, Ikan CEOHOUSTON, TX, UNITED STATES, June 24, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Ikan International, a leading manufacturer of professional broadcast and video production equipment, today announced it has received three prestigious "Best of Show" awards at InfoComm 2025, presented by AV Technology magazine. The awards recognize Ikan's innovative approach to integrated studio solutions and breakthrough Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) technology that is transforming how organizations deploy professional broadcast capabilities. The award-winning products demonstrate Ikan's commitment to simplifying broadcast technology deployment while maintaining professional-grade performance: • STUDIO ROVER– Winner, AV Technology Category Complete IP-controlled mobile studio featuring integrated 19" NDI teleprompter, NDI PTZ camera, motorized pedestal, and LBX8-POE low-profile LED panel • LBX20-POE– Winner, AV Technology Category Lyra PoE 1×2 Bi-Color Studio Soft Panel LED Light with ArtNet and sACN DMX control • LCX10-POE– Winner, AV Technology Category Lyra PoE 1×1 RGBWA Color Studio Soft Panel LED Light with ArtNet and sACN DMX control Addressing Critical Industry Pain Points The recognition comes as organizations across corporate, education, and government sectors increasingly seek professional broadcast capabilities without the complexity and infrastructure requirements of traditional television studio deployments. Ikan's award-winning solutions directly address key market challenges including lengthy permitting processes, complex multi-vendor integration, and the shortage of specialized broadcast technicians. Revolutionary PoE Technology Ikan's breakthrough Power-over-Ethernet lighting solutions eliminate traditional electrical permitting requirements that can delay projects by 4-6 weeks. By delivering both power and data through standard network cables, the technology enables rapid studio deployment in existing facilities without electrical infrastructure modifications. Recent deployments demonstrate the technology's impact: a 23-studio rollout for Gwinnett County Public Schools was made possible specifically because PoE lighting circumvented the district's stringent electrical permitting requirements. Similarly, the University of Missouri deployed a complete studio over Thanksgiving break—a timeline impossible with traditional electrical installations. Market Transformation The awards reflect broader industry transformation as broadcast-over-IP technologies converge with traditional AV systems. According to industry analysts, the broadcast-over-IP market is growing at 13% annually compared to 5% for traditional broadcast equipment, while AV-over-IP represents a $2.5 billion market expanding at 11.5% annually."We're witnessing the democratization of professional broadcast technology," said James Tian, CEO of Ikan International. "Organizations that previously relied on external studios or accepted lower-quality presentations now have access to broadcast-grade capabilities that integrate with their existing IT infrastructure." Strategic Partnerships Drive Innovation Ikan's integrated approach is supported by strategic partnerships with industry leaders including QSC for automation control systems, enabling non-technical users to operate sophisticated broadcast equipment through familiar AV interfaces. This partnership addresses the critical shortage of broadcast technicians by allowing existing AV personnel to manage professional broadcast workflows.

Bezpieczeństwo stało się w UE tematem numer jeden. Miała w tym udział polska prezydencja

Ostatnie dni czerwca to dobra okazja do podsumowania pół roku prezydencji Polski w Radzie UE. Z tej okazji w Łodzi odbył się Wielki Piknik Europejski w Łodzi, w trakcie którego również wiceprzewodnicząca Parlamentu Europejskiego podsumowała ten okres: w ciągu ostatnich sześciu miesięcy Polska była silnym i odważnym przywódcą i również nam dała siłę i odwagę, aby kroczyć naprzód w tych bardzo trudnych czasach. Zdaniem europosła Dariusza Jońskiego Polsce udało się odbudować swoją pozycję na arenie międzynarodowej.

Polityka

Nie brakuje przeciwników zwiększenia wydatków na obronność do 5 proc. Obawiają się, że paradoksalnie zagrozi to bezpieczeństwu Europy

W Hadze rusza szczyt NATO. Jednym z ważniejszych punktów ma być podwyższenie wydatków państw sojuszniczych na zbrojenia i obronność do 5 proc. PKB. Jeśli wniosek zostanie zatwierdzony, państwa członkowskie przeznaczą łącznie na ten cel ponad 500 mld euro więcej rocznie. – Zwiększając wydatki na broń, nie tworzy się warunków do pokoju. Dlatego jesteśmy temu zdecydowanie przeciwni – podkreśla włoski europoseł Pasquale Tridico z Ruchu Pięciu Gwiazd (M5S).

Ochrona środowiska

Gospodarowanie odpadami nieodłącznym elementem strategii firm. Brak jasnych przepisów utrudnia ich działania

Odpowiedzialne gospodarowanie odpadami stanowi integralną część biznesu, a działania w tym obszarze coraz częściej wchodzą w skład strategii ESG. Opóźniające się wdrożenie systemu rozszerzonej odpowiedzialności producenta (ROP) zgodnego z wymogami Unii Europejskiej stawia jednak przed polskimi przedsiębiorstwami wiele wyzwań.
