hile it s not unusual in this work-from-home era to roll out of bed in the sweatpants and T-shirt you ll wear the rest of the day, protocol was certainly

Downton Abbey, set from 1912 to 1925, the Lord and Ladies Grantham often went through more than a few wardrobe changes each day. A dressing gown worn over sleepwear during breakfast in bed would switch out for a stylish day dress.

Jake Schaefer reached the next level by merging hard work with his natural gifts.
The Baraboo High School senior secured his college future last week by signing with the menâs track and field team at the University of Wisconsin. Prior to heading to Madison next year, Schaefer will spend a lot more time in the family shed where heâs put in years of work honing his throwing ability.
âI started training around fifth grade and was seriously training by seventh grade,â said Schaefer, who kept working while the sports world shut down last spring due to COVID-19. âI am really lucky because my dad (Dan) has made space in our shed at home to lift weights and throw inside.â

It s one of the most violent spectacles in the natural world: Two bighorn sheep square off at 10 paces, rear up on their hind legs and rush, dropping their heads at the last moment to crash their horns together with maximum impact. And then they do it again, sometimes for hours on end, before walking away apparently no worse for the wear.
Bucknell Professor Benjamin Wheatley, mechanical engineering, occasionally witnessed these clashes in Estes Park, Colo., while he was studying for his doctorate at nearby Colorado State University. It sparked his curiosity. If such similarly violent head-to-head collisions result in concussions and even life-threatening injuries for football players, he wondered, how can these sheep avoid such trauma? What might we learn
