Beer

**Beer** is an alcoholic drink brewed frae maut, hops an baurley. Beer is the warld's auldest an maist widely consumed alcoholic drink; it is the third maist popular drink oweraw, efter watter an tea. The production o beer, brewin involves the baurmin o siccars, mainly derived frae cereal grain stairches—maist commonly frae mautit baurley, awtho wheat, maize, an rice are widely uised. Most beer is flavoured wi hops, that add bitterness an act as a naitural preservative, tho ither flavourins sic as yerbs or fruit mey occasionally be includit. The baurmin process causes a naitural carbonation effect, awtho this is eften remuived during processin, an replaced wi forced carbonation. Some o humanity's earliest kent writins refer tae the production an distribution o beer: the Code o Hammurabi includit laws regulatin beer an beer parlours, an "The Hime tae Ninkasi", a prayer tae the Mesopotamian goddess o beer, served as baith a prayer an as a method o rememberin the recipe for beer in a cultur wi few leeterate fowk.

Beer is sauld in bottles an cans; it mey an aa be available on draucht, pairteecularly in pubs an baurs. The brewin industrie is a global business, conseestin o several dominant multinaitional companies an mony thoosands o smawer producers rangin frae brewpubs tae regional breweries. The strenth o beer is uisually aroond 4% tae 6% alcohol bi vollum (abv), awtho it mey vary atween 0.5% an 20%, wi some breweries creautin ensaumples o 40% abv an abuin. Beer forms pairt o the cultur o beer-drinkin naitions an is associatit wi social tradeetions sic as beer festivals, as well as a rich pub cultur involvin activities lik pub crawlin, an pub gemmes sic as bar billiards.

In Canadae, the Canadian Govrenment’s Fuid an Drog Regulations states that beer shoud hae alcohol content that ranges frae 1.1% tae 8.6%. The regulation an aa includes that it coud be greater nor 8.6% an labeled accordinly. 

Beer in Sooth Korea shoud hae 25% (v/v) or less. That means that it haes tae be 25 mL o alcohol or less  per 100 mL o solution an  can anerly be conseedert ‘lite’ if thay hae less nor 30 kcal per 100ml. Mair specifically, major ingredients sic as Maut (baurley an wheat), Hop, Watter, Stairch ingredients hae tae be allaed bi the Sooth Korean Regulations in the brewin process.

Beers an ither seemilar variations in Singapore maun hae at meenimum o 1.0% alcohol (v/v) concentration at 20°C. It is eften brewed frae a mixtur o grains lik maut, succars or it's equivalent an hops or ither vegetables.

**The Septuagint** (or juist LXX) is the name gien tae the pre-Christian translate o the Jewish screepturs frae Ebrue intil Koine Greek. It is threapit bi mony buikmen & weemen that *The Septuagint* wis the version o *[[Auld Testament|The Auld Testament]]* uised bi at least some o the writers o the Christian *[[New Testament]]*.

## Oreegin o the Name
The translate taks its name frae the Greek wird fer "sieventy", syne gaun by auld-threapins wis translate bi seiventy-twa Jewish beukmen (weemen no alloued). Auld-threap hauds that the beukmen wrocht apairt frae ilk ither, ilkane wirkin at pittin the hail corpus o Jewish screepturs intil the Greek. Whan at the end o their darg they compeart their translates they fund that they haed aw written the exact same thing, an sae they kent that their darg wis tiftit bi God. Sieventy wis waled ower seieventy-twa syne it is a roond nummer an multiples o sieven is hauden tae be haly in Jewish thocht (c.f. the makkin o the yird in sieven days, sieven year o fouth an sieven o scant an want amang mony ither exemplars). *The Septuagint* is aften cried *LXX* in beukmens' (& weemen's) cutty jottins syne this is sieventy in Roman Nummers.

## History
Gaun by auld-threapins setten oot in *The Letter o Aristeas*, Ptolmey II Philadelphus o Egypt (285-246 BC) brocht ower the sieventy-twa beukmen tae his kinrick for tae wirk on pittin ower the Pentateuch - the first five beuks o *[[Auld Testament|The Auld Testament]]*. Mair likely, accordin tae modren beukmen & weemen, it wis pitten ower atween the third an first centuruies BC, an that there wisna ony ae translate that accoonts for slicht chynges frae the Ebrue texts as weel as slicht deeferences in early quotations frae *LXX*.

## Contents
*The Septuagint* haes aw the thirty-nine beuks o whit we nou ken as *The Auld Testament* an twa-three apocryphal beuks forby thon. Accordin tae ae wabsteid anent *LXX*:

::"The term "Apocrypha" wis cleckit bi the fift-century Biblical beukman, Jerome, an for ordinar refers tae the curn o auncient Jewish writins wrat doun durin the time atween the last beuk in the Jewish screepturs, *Malachi*, an the kythin o Jesus Christ."

Thir Apocryphal beuks includes the histories o the wars atween the Maccabees an the Greek Seleucid Empire in the beuks o the Maccabees, eikins tae the beuks o *Esther* an *Daniel* an a tait ithers.

Sport

A **sport** is an organised, competitive, entertainin, an skilful activity requirin commitment, strategy, an fair play, in which a winner an loser can be defined bi objective means. Generally speakin, a sport is a gemme based in pheesical athleticism. Activities sic as buird gemmes an caird gemmes are whiles classifee'd as "mind sports," but strictly speakin "sport" bi itsel refers tae some pheesical activity. Non-competitive activities mey an aa qualify, for example tho joggin or playin catch are uisually clessifee'd as forms o recreation, thay mey an aa be informally cried "sports" due tae thair similarity tae competitive gemmes.

Sports are govrened bi a set o rules or customs. Pheesical events sic as scorin goals or crossin a line first aften define the result o a sport. Housomeivver, the degree o skill an performance in some sports sic as divin, dressage an feegur skeitchin is judged accordin tae well-defined criteria. This is in contrast wi ither judged activities sic as beauty pageants an body biggin, whaur skill daes no hae tae be shawn an the criteria are no as well defined.

Records are kept an updatit for maist sports at the heichest levels, while failurs an accomplishments are widely annoonced in sport news. Sports are maist aften played juist for fun or for the semple fact that fowk need exercise tae stay in guid pheesical condeetion. Housomeivver, professional sport is a major soorce o entertainnment.
