Caber toss
The caber toss is a traditional Scots sport whaur kempers toss a big powl cried a "caber" (/ˈkeɪbə/), ordinar duin at the Hieland gemmes. The caber is uisually makit frae a larick tree an can be atween 16-20 ft tall an wechts atween 90-150 lb. The term "caber" comes frae the Gaelic cabar, a widden bauk.
The body tossin the caber is cried a "tosser" or a "thrawer".
It is believed tae hae come aboot frae the need tae thraw logs ootower nairie cleuchs in order tae cross thaim, lummerjacks needin tae muive logs bi thrawin thaim in burns, or bi lummerjacks haudin kemps atween thaimsels.
The record fur the maist nummer o caber tosses in three minties is currently haud bi Canadian Danny Frame. He did 16 caber tosses on 20 Julie 2018 at the Heart of the Valley Festival in Middletoun, Nova Scotia, Canadae.
Goal an wey
The main goal is tae toss the caber sae it turns end ower end, fawin awa fae the tosser. Ideally it shid faw directly awa frae the tosser in the 12 o'clock position. The range thrawn isnae important.
The tosser balances the caber upricht, tapered end dounwith against their shoulder an neck, the caber bein stellt bi stewarts an fella kempers while bein placed in position. The tosser then crooches, slidin their interlockit haunds doon the caber an unner the roonded base an lifts it wi their cupped haunds.
The tosser maun balance the caber upricht; this isnae easy wi the swaar end at the tap, an unskilly tossers mey be unable tae stap the caber fawin tae ane side efter liftin it. The tosser then taks a few paces forrit tae gain momentum, an flips the tapered end upwith sae the swaar end hits the groond furst, an, if weel tossit, the caber faws directly awa frae the tosser.
Scorin
The strachtest end-ower-end toss scores heichist. If the caber lands oan its end but faws taewarts the tosser, the score is lawer than fur ony end-ower-end thraw but is based oan the ootmaist upricht squint that the caber gaint.
End-ower-end tosses ur scored accordin tae the hours oan the clock, wi a 12:00 score bein heichist (fawin directly awa fae the tosser), doon tae a 9 or 3 fur cabers that reakit an upricht afore fawin tae the side.

Inglis uisage umwhile preferred the classicisin transliterations "Heraklion" or "Heraclion", but the form "Iraklion" is becomin mair common.
History

The toun o Kirillov eventually developit as the posad o the monastery. In 1398, St. Therapont o White Loch, who arrivit wi Cyril, muivit tae a separate location, which later became the Ferapontov Monastery. Baith monasteries wur subordinate tae Airchbeeshops o Rostov.

Týr
Týr (Auld Norse: Týr ) is the god o Law, the althing, Juistice, The Sky, an heroic glory in Norse meethologie, portrayed as a ane-haundit man. Correspondin names in ither Germanic leids are Gothic Teiws, Auld Inglis Tīw an Auld Heich German Ziu an Cyo, aw frae Proto-Germanic *Tîwaz (*Tē₂waz). The Laitinisit name is Tius or Tio.
In the late Icelandic Eddas, Tyr is portrayed, alternately, as the son o Odin (Prose Edda) or of Hymir (Poetic Edda), while the oreegins o his name an his possible relationship tae Tuisto (see Tacitus' Germania) suggest he wis ance considered the faither o the gods an heid o the pantheon, syne his name is ultimately cognate tae that o *Dyeus (cf. Dyaus), the reconstructit chief deity in Indo-European releegion. It is assumit that Tîwaz wis owertaken in popularity an in authority bi baith Odin an Thor at some point durin the Migration Age, as Odin shares his role as God o war.
Tiw wis equatit wi Mars in the interpretatio germanica. Tuesday is in fact "Tīw's Day" (an aw in Alemannic Zischtig frae zîes tag), translatin dies Martis.
