Lake Superior East Shore Cellular/internet service
Does anyone have recent experience cruising the East Shore of Lake Superior from the Soo to Wawa regarding cell/internet coverage? I'm potentially planning a cruise there this summer, but will need to remain "connected" to accomodate some of the crew. Would purchasing a Canadian phone with a "hotspot" help in this manner. Last time I was in the North Channel, my cellphone bill was more than any other expense.
Thanks in advance for your response.

Push-and-Pull Dynamic Parametric CAD Design
Mar 16, 2018 |
Struggling with building parametric assemblies in CAD software and having to constantly work in an Excel-like environment to drive the design? Rethink the approach using IronCAD and push-and-pull handles that can dynamically drive an assembly parametrically.
IronCAD is designed to be more interactive and to be more intuitive than other 3D CAD systems and this extends to the complex world of parametric designs.
Parametrics offers the ability to define rules for a design so that when a model is changed, it will update to the new set of variables that are applied. It sounds complex and typically it has been since it has been exclusively under a CAD designers control or made available with specific value-driven fields in a configurator traditionally found on a company website. IronCAD takes this complex process and breaks it down to a minimum set of equations and offers push and pull handles that can ultimately drive the design in a way that suits a user's needs.
Watch our video below to see how we set up and run a vent model in IronCAD to get a sense of our new way for approaching parametrics.
In this video, we will show:
- An existing customer's design being driven with push-and-pull handles.
- How to recreate the design in IronCAD by adding parameters to drive the components.
- How to mate and align components in IronCAD.
- How to add all the components in a single scene environment without creating separate part and assembly files.
- How to add handles to a design to drive the created parameters.
Get started in building your own parametric designs by downloading IronCAD's free trial version below! Contact Us for guided assistance or to find a certified reseller in your area.

By Weng Yi Wong
Writer-director Mirrah Foulkes' ambitious feature debut delivers a delightfully absurd Punch and Judy origin story on steroids.
Attempts to describe Mirrah Foulkes' first feature film have been moderately successful. Variations of "batshit crazy", "offbeat feminist revenge tale", and "eccentric dark comedy" have all been valiantly offered by cast and critics alike, yet the film resists any attempt at an all-encompassing definition. Judy and Punch is all of these, and more.
Tonally, structurally, and aesthetically, Judy and Punch creates a unique environment to plant the origins of the traditional British Punch and Judy puppet show. The film's setting is the roughly 17th century fictional town of Seaside (nowhere near the sea): a generic kind of Hollywood medieval village, whose superstitious townspeople live simultaneously in fear and eager anticipation of the next witch hanging or "Stoning Day". Such executions are almost exclusively reserved for the old, poor, or unlucky women whose chickens might all drop dead one night, or who are caught staring at the moon for suspiciously long periods of time.
Amongst this motley crowd live our Judy (Mia Wasikowska) and Punch (Damon Herriman). Travelling puppeteers by trade, the charismatic wife and husband performing duo return to Seaside with their infant child, though not without loftier ambitions and dreams of bigger towns and theatres. Judy, the more talented and hard-working of the two, makes the most of the situation despite perhaps feeling stifled by the closed-minded town. Punch, however, struggles to resist the temptations of drink and old flames. Inevitably, his descent into drunk batterer (a disturbing real-life manifestation of his marionette alter-ego) leads to tragedy. In a dramatic scene so masterfully crafted that audiences are catapulted from relief, to shock, to tragedy and back again, the fate of our protagonist Judy seems sealed.
However, Judy refuses to play the victim of Punch's big, bashy stick. Her broken body is found dumped in the forest by a group of "heretics" – former Seaside misfits who have been cast out of the town – and is slowly nursed back to health by mystic-healer Dr Goodtime (Gillian Jones). Here, counselled by various members of the heretics, including young girl Scotty (Daisy Axon) (who will soon have everything she needs in life once she moves onto a bigger pony) and group leader Ma (Virginia Gay) (who packs up the heretics to move to a new camp, without really specifying where), Judy is able to plot her sweet, sweet revenge.
Foulkes' writing is sharp, slick and playful. Its balance of slapstick comedy and visceral drama carries across to the screen, and is superbly delivered by a strong ensemble cast. Their solid performances enable extreme tonal shifts and deliberate anachronisms to be pulled off deftly and un-jarringly, resulting in a truly original product. Additionally, Francois Tetaz's ingeniously kooky soundtrack is an unexpected highlight, complementing the film's peculiar tone suitably.
While Judy and Punch trades in caricatures that may not be recognised by viewers unfamiliar with the original Punch and Judy traditions, the premise of the film remains clear and its plot stand-alone. Those who do understand the nod to tragic baby mishaps, the sausage-stealing dog, treacherous crocodile encounters, and the Devil's ultimatum with Punch, are no doubt in for a satisfying added bonus.
It is inevitable that a film so boldly whimsical will not hit its mark with everybody. Some particularly outlandish scenes may leave audiences feeling alienated, or even plain disgusted. Judy's optimistically polemic speech at the gallows is not the subtlest statement on accepting differences and the perils of blind faith, nor the most realistic remedy for Seaside's social and judicial problems. However, it is difficult not to appreciate Foulkes' innovative take on such themes. In particular, her considered treatment of domestic violence and xenophobia should be applauded.
Judy and Punch appears to be part of a popular trend that sees re-interpretations of traditional myths and fairy-tales, or so-called 'speculative fiction' make their way to the small and large screens. Fans of Angela Carter or Margaret Atwood may indeed find their answer to the outdated, misogynistic Punch and Judy show in this twisted, fairy-tale-esque cracker of a film. Judy and Punch is brilliant, bizarre (in the best of ways), and an utterly compelling must-see when it arrives at a screen near you.
The reviewer watched Judy and Punch at a Melbourne International Film Festival screening. Judy and Punch is showing at Cinema Nova from 7 November 2019 and will be released nationally on 21 November.

Justin Herbert stuck around his hometown school for one more season in order to deliver on a few promises and lead Oregon back to conference and, hopefully, national glory. The senior quarterback took a step in that direction on Saturday night in Eugene, helping the No. 6 Ducks thump Arizona 34-6 and lock up the Pac-12 North title in the process.
It was a wire-to-wire victory too, with the home side delighting the Autzen Stadium crowd with a 73 yard touchdown reception by Johnny Johnson III on just the second snap of the ball game thanks to a busted coverage. That was one of four scoring tosses for Herbert, who finished with 333 yards through the air and an interception off a tipped pass in what was his penultimate game at the stadium just a few miles from his childhood home.
While that strike to Johnson was a heck of a way to get the game going, it was another Johnson, Penn State transfer Juwan, who led the team in receiving (93 yards) and had the highlight-reel throw from the potential first-rounder off a lovely reverse flea-flicker he took into the end zone.
UO's defense also continued their strong run of results in netting six sacks, nine tackles for loss and allowing just five third down conversions while keeping the Wildcats under 250 yards of total offense.
Grant Gunnell actually got the start at quarterback for Arizona but threw for just 82 yards and was mostly sitting on the sidelines during the second and third quarters. That was the time for UO's normal tormentor in Khalil Tate, who failed to get much of anything going despite some past performances full of big numbers.
While it was going to be a tough task no matter what to knock off a top 10 team at home, the 'Cats now face an even more difficult task of beating both No. 7 Utah and Arizona State in their remaining two games or risk missing a bowl game for the second straight year under Kevin Sumlin.
A postseason berth isn't something for the Ducks to worry about as they clinch their first division since 2014 and will be ticketed to Santa Clara for the Pac-12 title game against what they hope is a College Football Playoff quarterfinal against a similarly red-hot Utes team. Oregon has won nine in a row since their season-opening loss to Auburn and outside of perhaps Ohio State, Clemson or LSU, there are few teams in the country playing better football than this one.
That's just what Herbert and his fellow stars were hoping to do in returning for one last hurrah and they're certainly living up to those expectations with their play so far in 2019.

Academic blogging is a much more modern form of the traditional English or history paper. Blogging "what we learned and how we learned it" provides #PBL students the opportunity to practice real world skills. Academic blogging also allows us to share the work that we have done with a wide audience, which includes other historians as well as museums or historical societies. This type of "academic" writing is so different from our normal school experience because usually the only person who saw our work in the past was our teacher. Moreover, academic blogging also encourages us to think about our work from the perspective of someone who works in marketing. Researching potential readers and experts for our academic topics makes us revise our written work even more and reflect on ways to make it appealing to new readers. We students find this a useful skill to practice for our future.
Writing Tips
For support for our various writing projects, we rely on this great online source. They are a working writing center, and this site is updated well and provides great visual as well as written explanations. Enjoy!

Toon Zelda is a trepresentation of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker art style in The Legend of Zelda games. She has appeared in 3 games: The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap, and The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks. She appears in her first playable appearance in Hyrule Warriors Legends' Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks DLC. This specific title is derived from a cancelled character design in parallel with Toon Link, who was scrapped out of Super Smash Bros. Brawl for unknown reasons. Nothing much is known about this character except that Toon Zelda will be able to transform into Toon Sheik, another cancelled character who was scrapped out of Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Toon Zelda possibly would have acted in the same manner as Zelda would.

Normal Investment Practice
The strategies, securities, and other investment routines that a person or company usually conducts. For example, buying investment-grade bonds might be a normal investment practice for a risk-averse investor. Because normal investment practices are observable and often predictable, underwriters and investment advisers may use them to recommend securities to investors. However, FINRA prohibits underwriters from using normal investment practices when placing hot issues.

What Is a TABC Online Certification?
The Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) believes that trained sellers, servers and managers are more equipped to refuse sales of alcoholic beverages to minors, intoxicated individuals and non-members of a private club. The TABC offers certifications through authorized online courses (Texas Seller Server is an approved seller/server training school). TABC certification online courses go over Texas laws that relate to the sale and service of alcohol. They cover how to identify and refuse sales when necessary.
Who Should be TABC Certified?
All bartenders, servers (working in restaurants and/or catering environments) and anyone else who sells, serves, dispenses or delivers alcohol in the state of Texas should be certified. Texas also suggests that anyone who immediately manages, directs, supervises or controls the sale or service of alcoholic beverages should be approved as well. This covers managers, shift supervisors and even owners.
How To Get Your TABC Certificate Online
Texas Seller Server offers an online course that is 100% certified by the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission. Our course is completely online, and it is the simplest way to obtain a TABC certification available. We guarantee an affordable price for online seller/server training and once you're done, simply print your official TABC Certificate.
More importantly, we will also report your course completion to the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission for no additional charge. This means you can sign up for the course, complete it and have your results sent to the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission all in a few weeks. The entire course should only take you two hours, but it is completely self-directed and can be completed at your own pace.
More About Our Course:
How Long Does It Take?
Our two-hour course is 100% online, approved by the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission and it can be completed in one sitting. Of course, you are welcome to take as much time as you need—at your own pace. Our course is available 24/7, and we save your progress as you go along. All you need to do is sign back in using your username and password, which you create when you sign up, and you can complete the course in the time frame that works for you.
Course Curriculum Requirements
If you are interested in reading more about the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission's Administrative rules, you can download the document here. Chapter 58 is devoted to the ins and outs of TABC Certification.

What Does Our Course Look Like?
Our reading-based course consists of four main modules. At the end of each module, you will be required to answer five questions (this is a state requirement). As mandated by the state of Texas, you must answer at least four out of five correctly. If you miss more than one question, you will simply be required to take the module again. At the end, there will be a final exam, which you are allowed to take twice. In accordance with Texas state laws, you need to pass with a score of 70% or higher. We will give you questions throughout the material to help you prepare for the final.

Information for Bartenders and Servers—Why Get TABC Certified?
Most restaurants and bars in Texas require it.
Legally, you are not required to be TABC certified before you sell alcohol, but you will be a more attractive candidate to potential employers. If you are already certified before applying for a new position, you will be at a significant advantage.
You'll be a more responsible member of your community.
You'll learn about criminal and civil liability, you'll be better equipped to keep your customers safe and you'll learn when and where it is appropriate to stop serving a patron.
You'll learn how to protect yourself.
Criminal charges can be filed against you if you run afoul of the law. If you've overserved someone, served a minor or served an already intoxicated person and they cause personal injury or property damage, you can be sued. Our course teaches you to protect against ways in which you may be liable.
You'll be protecting your establishment.
There are laws that protect bars, restaurants and other permitted establishments only when their employees are TABC certified. Not only will you be armed with the knowledge that a certification entails but you will also have taken action to protect your employer.
Information for Restaurateurs, Bar Owners, Liquor License Holders
What Does TABC Certification Mean for You?
- Your servers and bartenders will know and understand Texas laws as they relate to alcohol sales.
- The course covers refusing sales to minors, intoxicated people and non-members of private clubs.
- When your servers and bartenders understand the law, they are less likely to accidentally break it. As retailer, this will ultimately protect you and your establishment.
- The Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission has the power to take administrative action against your liquor license. TABC certification will protect against this.
- This protection is known as the Safe Harbor Act.
What is The Safe Harbor Act?
The Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission can legally take administrative action against your liquor license if your employees break certain laws pertaining to alcohol sales. The Safe Harbor Act—also known as Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code §106.14(a)—ensures that TABC will not take action against your license or permits as long as:
- The person selling is not the owner or an officer of the company.
- All employees engaged in the sale, service or delivery of alcoholic beverages, as well as their immediate managers, are certified within 30 days of their hire date.
- The employer has written policies for responsible alcohol service and ensures that each employee has read and understands these policies.
- The employer does not directly or indirectly encourage the employee to violate the law.
- Three or more of these types of violations are in a twelve month period.
Your permit or license to sell alcohol can be suspended or canceled as the direct result of your servers' infractions. For a first offense, your license or permit could be suspended for up to 90 days. For a second offense, it could be suspended for up to six months (or canceled). For a third offense within three years, it could be suspended for up to 12 months (or canceled).
Finally, if an illegal sale is made to someone who is involved in a fatal accident, the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission will immediately begin the process to cancel your permit or license.
The TABC certification does not necessarily protect your server or bartender from legal action. He or she is legally responsible for refusing service to minors, intoxicated individuals and non-members of private clubs (they will learn their own responsibilities and liabilities during the course). Your permit, on the other hand, is protected as long as you meet the above criteria.
Which Employees Need to Be Certified?
According to the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission anyone who "sells, serves, dispenses or delivers alcoholic beverages under the authority of a license or permit, including persons who immediately manage, direct, supervise or control the sale or service of alcoholic beverages" should be certified.
Does Texas Seller Server Offer Group Discounts?
Yes. If you're interested in getting a group of your employees certified, inquire about our special group discounts. If you have two or more employees that need TABC certifications, Texas Seller Server offers discounts that range from 10% to 30% off.
TABC Certification Online and Food Handler Package
The Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) requires anyone in Texas who works with unpackaged food, food equipment and utensils and anyone who will come in contact with food to be trained in the proper techniques to reduce the risk of foodborne illness outbreaks. This covers all kitchen staff, bussers, bartenders, servers, hostesses, managers and even restaurant owners who may come into contact with food.
Texas Seller Server offers a Food Handler Course for only $9.99. This is a very simple course that covers all of the basic course materials as mandated by the state of Texas. There are no quizzes, tests or exams. Your food handler card will be instantly available for download once you've completed the course material.
If you need both the TABC and Food Handler Course, Texas Seller Server offers a discounted package that includes both courses. It is only $21 and meets all of the requirements by the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission and the Texas Department of State Health Services.
How can I find out whether or not I am certified?
If you believe you may have already taken a course that offers certification, if you've lost your certificate or if you need to prove to your employer that you are certified, you can access your information on TABC's website and print out proof of certification. Simply complete your certificate inquiry request.
How long does my certification last?
Your TABC certification is valid for exactly two years after the date that it is issued.
How do I get recertified?
There is no official process for recertification. If your two-year certification has lapsed and is no longer valid, you'll need to retake the course to get recertified.
Do all bartenders and servers have to be TABC certified?
No. You are not legally required to be TABC certified before you sell alcohol, but there are many benefits to being certified, especially before applying to a new position.
Can I be certified if I have had a DWI or other felony conviction?
Yes, but you may be required to report this information to your employer during the application and hiring process. While your criminal history will not exclude you from obtaining your TABC certification, it could potentially prevent an employer from hiring you.
Can I get TABC certified if I am under 18?
Yes. There are no minimum age requirements to complete your certification. Age restrictions exist for serving alcohol, though. To work in most grocery or convenience stores, there are no age restrictions. If you work at a bar or restaurant (this requires an on-premises license or permit), you must be 18 or over to serve/sell. If you work at a liquor store, you must be 21 or over.
What happens if I sell alcohol to an intoxicated person?
The Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission explains that selling alcoholic beverages to an intoxicated person is a misdemeanor punishable by a fine anywhere from $100 to $500. In some cases, the punishment includes up to a year in jail. Bartenders, staff and store employees are legally required to look for any indication of intoxication and to stop serving anyone who appears to be intoxicated. To learn more on this topic, consult section 101.63 of the Alcoholic Beverage Code.
What happens if I sell to a minor?
According to the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission, selling alcohol to a minor is a Class A misdemeanor. It is punishable by a fine of not more than $4,000, by confinement in jail for up to one year or by both.
What is the difference between a TABC certification and a TABC license/permit? Do I need both?
No, only businesses need TABC licenses or permits. As a seller (this covers bartenders, caterers, servers, etc.), you only need to obtain your TABC certification online.

Flintstones Slot
The Flintstones is an animated cartoon that many of you reading this review will have grown up with. Fred Flintstone was the main protagonist of the series, where you'd follow the exploits of him and his best friend Barney Rubble and their long suffering wives, Wilma and Betty. You might be surprised to hear that the series were made between 1960 and 1966, with no more episodes ever made, although the series has spawned a whole host of spin-off shows, as well as TV movies and live action films. You can even visit one of two Flintstones based theme parks. In fact, until now, the only thing missing was a Flintstones slot machine!
This live casino slot has two main screens – the lower one where the action on the main reels take place and the one above where you'll find parts of the bonus features of the game. The Flintstones slot has five reels with four symbols showing on each. When choosing your coin size you can add an extra twenty credits to gain extra features at the slot and this is highly recommended, as this game is effectively all about the features. You'll be able to play for a variety of coin values and win lines as is usual at the majority of WMS slots
WMS The Flintstones Slots Machine
Flintstones Slot Features
Bedrock Bowling Feature
You'll start this round by choosing one of a number of bowling balls, where each ball has a different multiplier attached. You'll then choose an individual to bowl the ball – this will be Fred, Barney or any other member of the bowling team (you might see more than one Fred in a variety of outfits). You'll see an animation of the ball being bowled and if a strike is fired, you'll gain a win with the multiplier attached.
Yabba Dabba Doo Feature
This is a round which sees you gain a series of extra wilds – these given to you the pet elephant squirting water down over the slot and Fred and Barney dropping wilds from above. During this feature, the size of the slot will actually expand, so each reel will first contain six symbols and then eight symbols as the wilds continue to grow in number. Eventually the reels will come to a halt and you'll hopefully gain a nice win with all of these wilds.
Bamm Bamm Feature
During this feature you'll once again gain many extra wilds, this happening when Bamm Bamm whacks the slot with her club. You'll not receive as many wilds as in the Yabba Dabba Doo feature, but this is offset by the fact that the reels do not expand during this round.
There are three other features at the slot. The Pebbles Beauty contest sees on-screen voting taking place and the more votes Pebbles gains, the more real money you'll win at the feature. The Dino feature sees Fred being continually licked by their pet dinosaur – the longer he licks him the more credits you'll win. The final, slightly different feature sees a wheel of fortune style wheel showing a variety of large multiplier values – some of these amounts are huge, with the two largest reserved for the segments that also host Fred and Barney. Land one of these and you'll have a very nice windfall.
Flintstones Slot Conclusion
With the Flintstones being such a successful series over the years, there was actually some pressure on WMS to replicate this success at the slot. It looks to me like they achieved it. The slot has a great variety of features, all of these interspersed with clips from the cartoons themselves. With such a mixture of features, this is a slot that will remain fresh for a long time as you'll continually strive to activate each one. As you would expect from a Flintstones slot, the game has a great sense of humor and is full of big and bold colors, making for a great experience overall. This is a job well done by WMS.

About The Flintstones
The Flintstones was produced by Hanna-Barbera and first aired on the 30th September 1960. The series would run until April 1, 1966 and in this time there were six seasons, with a total of 166 episodes. The Flintstones centered around two families – the Flintstones themselves and their neighbor's the Rubbles.
Fred Flintstone is the main character of the series and is a bronto-crane operator at the Slate Rock and Gravel Company. He is a keen bowler and a member of the 'Loyal Order of the Water Buffaloes'. Fred is married to Wilma and father to Pebbles, the daughter who was born at the end of the third season. Wilma is much more sensible than her husband, although she does like to spend money often. Dino is their pet and is continually knocking Fred over, while baby Puss is rarely seen during the show itself, but appears in the credits, famously throwing Fred out of the house.
The Rubbles live next door and Barney Rubble is the best friend and workmate of Fred. They enjoy an up and down relationship due to Fred Flintstone's notoriously short temper, but this is always resolved by the end of an episode. Barney's wife Betty is best friends with Wilma and they are continually seen gossiping and shopping. Bamm-Bamm is Barney and Betty's adopted son, after they found him in a turtle shell outside their door.
In 1994, 28 years after the last episode aired, the first Flintstones movie appeared. This film had a star-studded cast, including John Goodman as Fred and Elizabeth Perkins as Wilma. Kyle McLachlan also appeared as Fred's boss. A less successful sequel was made in 2000.

Some of the nation's top military memorabilia dealers will participate in the second annual Savannah Civil War Relic and Bottle Show this weekend, looking to sell from or add to their collections, said Rick Phillips, one of the event's organizers.
Walt Lineberger is known for his extensive cache of Palmetto State pieces, and George Juno always has some "super rare pieces," said Phillips, naming two of the collectors who will be manning the 170 or so tables spread across the Alee Shrine Temple on Saturday and Sunday.
The items generally date from the Revolutionary War through the Civil War, and some of the dealers specialize in buttons, some in muskets and swords, while others concentrate on coins and paper money, said Phillips.
Also this year, he said, there will be more bottle collectors at the show.
A member of the Coastal Empire History Hunters Association, Phillips will have his artifacts from his personal collection on display as well.
"Some of my favorite items are the personalized relics such as carved bullets, carved coins and inscribed items," he said. "They all tell stories of how these lonely soldiers passed time in camps so far from home."
He and the other dealers, added Phillips, will be happy to look at items and artifacts brought in by the public.
With the many experts on hand, he said, "we can help identify or authenticate what they think they may have."
What: Savannah Civil War Relic and Bottle Show. When: 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday; 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Sunday.
Where: Alee Shrine Temple, 10 Eisenberg Drive.
Admission: $5 for adults or teen-agers, free for children 12 and younger.
Details: The show will have about 170 tables and more than 100 vendors. Items on sale will include bottles, buttons, books, china, jewelry, swords, uniforms, coins, muskets, artillery, photographs, accouterments and more.
Information: Call 912-663-2382 or go to www.savannahcivilwarshow.com.

Food and drink is my first love. Well, I'd say it was one of them at the very least. The ways in which food and drink impacts almost everything we do has been something I have found greatly fascinating. I love learning about the different aspects of food and drink, especially when it involves tasting, and is something I have grown very fond of over the years. Within my job (my full-time job that is) I have met a number of extremely enthusiastic, creative individuals, who are even more passionate than I am about food and drink. Let's be frank, there's only ever going to be one type of person more into their food than me, and that ladies and gentlemen is a chef.
I first met Craig Wilson (the Kilted Chef) and his team at the Eat on the Green a few years back, working on an exclusive event with some famous faces from the TV show, Emmerdale. The two AA rosette Scottish restaurant situated in the idyllic village of Udny Green, is a decadent wee place, awaiting to welcome and spoil guests with some of the finest Scottish cuisine Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire has to offer.
Bumping into Craig and his team recently, I was kindly invited out to the restaurant one wintry Thursday evening to sample some new Laurent Perrier champagne they were launching for the exquisite champagne lounge. This event was set out to be something rather special indeed. Although the phenomenal showcase of Scottish cuisine was oh so divine, the underlying charitable message, and the launch of the Festival of Hope (#ropeofhope) was the real reason we had gathered in Udny Green that frosty night.
|Restaurant manager, Craig Rochester and myself
On arrival to the restaurant we were serenaded with seductive sounds from the bagpipes, bellowing beautifully out over the open green. In front of the restaurant, two large flames roared ferociously, and beside them stood a familiar friendly face, The Kilted Chef, greeting us with that cheshire smile we are all so familiar with.
Ushered into the restaurant out of the cold the fabulous (and when I say fabulous, I mean fabulous) duo, Craig Rochester and Craig Profeit, greeted my guest and I with a glass of ice cold champagne. The new range of Laurent Perrier was smooth, full of bubbles (without being overwhelmingly fizzy), and very refreshing on the palette. It seemed that I would be been dancing with the champagne devil that night, signing over my soul to the famous Laurent Perrier. Well, just for the evening that was.
Readers note: Just to keep you up to speed, there's three Craig's at Eat on the Green. You get used to it, I promise!
As an added extra to the event, Craig and his gorgeous wife Lindsay invited along two very dear friends of theirs; Scottish artist and fashion designer, Iona Crawford, and Scottish artist, Gerrard M Burns, who both displayed some spectacularly stunning work throughout the restaurant. On the evening, Lindsay sported a smashingly sensational dress featuring a elegant print of the famous Kelpies, designed by Iona herself. Sadly I didn't manage to capture any photos of her in the unique gown, but trust me when I tell you, the dress was like nothing I had seen before. Wow-factor indeed.
The Festival of Hope...
This year, Eat on the Green launched its Festival of Hope featuring the #ropeofhope initiative in partnership with Friends of ANCHOR. The charity, which was set up to directly support the ANCHOR unit at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary, helps make the North-east of Scotland's cancer and haemotology care be the best it can. The unit cares and treats patients with all forms of cancer, leukaemia, and benign blood disorders, and with the support of Friends of ANCHOR, can invest in the latest medical equipment, fund leading clinicans' research in Aberdeen in the fight against cancer, and also allows them to offer additional care, comfort and support to patients during their time in the ANCHOR unit.
Cancer is something which is especially close to my heart, as well as my friends and family, and is something which has effected many people I know in a number of different ways. When a project like this comes along, it really does make me think about the true meaning of Christmas, and how important our health, and life itself is. Strength comes in many shapes and forms, so go on, do something meaningful this Christmas.
- Visit Eat on the Green between Wednesday and Sunday up until Christmas Day and ask the reception for a Rope of Hope.
- Put a £5 donation in the gift aid envelope provided by the restaurant for Friends of ANCHOR. (One lucky donor will be selected at random from these envelopes to win a meal for two at Eat on the Green!)
- You can also decorate your Rope of Hope before placing it on the Trees of Hope outside the restaurant.
- When hanging your Rope of Hope on one of the Trees of Hope feel free to make a short dedication video of what you are hoping for this Christmas.
- You can upload your video to your own Facebook page tagging Eat on the Green, or you can send it to them to upload.
You can also get involved by texting ROPE15 £5 to 70070
Help make a difference this Christmas....#ropeofhope
For Now...

Chemical Nature of Thermoelectricity
On behalf of the Journal of Organic and Inorganic Chemistry, as Editor-in-Chief, it is my distinct honour and privilege to welcome you to the Journal of Environmental and Toxicology Studies.
The Journal of Organic and Inorganic Chemistry aims to disseminate knowledge and promote discussion through the publication of peer-reviewed, high quality research papers on all topics related to Chemistry. The open access journal is published by Insight Medical Publishing who hosts open access peer-reviewed journals as well as organizes conferences that hosts the work of researchers in a manner that exemplifies the highest standards in research integrity.
Thermoelectricity is a two-way process. It can refer either to the way a temperature difference between one side of a material and the other can produce electricity, or to the reverse: the way applying an electric current through a material can create a temperature difference between its two sides, which can be used to heat or cool things without combustion or moving parts.
Thermoelectric materials, i.e. materials capable to create electricity from waste heat sources, are an ideal solution to the search for sustainable energy.
The current challenge in this field of research is finding materials with a higher efficiency. One of the recent strategies of quest for more effective thermoelectric materials rely on minimizing lattice thermal conductivity without greatly impacting of the electrical conductivity. New materials with more complex structures enabling more independent influencing of the electrical and thermal transport are studied. The skutterudites (derived from CoAs3) proved to be a very promising class of such complex materials thanks to an existence of large voids inside of their structure, which can be "filled" with heavy atoms. Placing of such atoms in the interstitial voids of this crystal system would substantially reduce¸ by introducing phonon-scattering center, the lattice thermal conductivity without considerable influencing of electron transport (electrical conductivity).
Using high-temperature solid state reaction we have prepared some ternary skutterudites like CoSn1.5Se1.5 and Fe2Pd2Sb12, we determined their structure and transport properties.
We always welcome and encourage new research works on our Journal of Organic and Inorganic Chemistry. (Tap on the link to submit manuscript)

What's On Your To Do List?
Author: Shannon Miller
Working mothers have To Do lists about a mile long. I know this first hand.
Between getting the kids ready for school, getting yourself ready for work, spending the day at work, and then playing taxi driver and cooking dinner in the evening, the day seems to slip through the cracks of our busy lives.
Is it possible to find stillness amidst the chaos? It certainly is possible, and more importantly – it is to our benefit to do so.
Stress and anxiety are bi-products of the busy, productive lives that we lead.
A study investigating the relationship between exercise and anxiety sensitivity, or the extent to which one is fearful of stress, provided support for the notion that anxiety sensitivity can be effectively treated with exercise.* If something as simple as exercise can curb the effects of anxiety sensitivity, we should consider ourselves quite fortunate. The issue then lies in finding time to exercise – adding exercise to our To Do lists!
One type of exercise that is relatively simple to fit into a hectic day is stretching.
Stretching can be done anytime, anywhere, whether you sit at a computer for much of the day or you are out and about running errands. My Stretching To-Go books are small enough to fit in your purse, but they are abundant in information; numerous stretches are suggested for the upper body, the core, and the lower body. You will find that having these stretches on hand will help with stress, posture and energy throughout the day.
*J. Wayne Miller, Ph.D., A.C. Berry, M.A., D. Rosenfield, Ph.D., M.B. Powers, Ph.D., E. Behar, Ph.D., M.W. Otto, Ph.D., "Reducing Anxiety Sensitivity With Exercise," Depression And Anxiety 23 Aug. 2008: 689-699.

For further information write to:
Scottish Government Licensing Team Area GW14 St Andrew's House Regent Road Edinburgh EH1 3DG
telephone: 0131 244 7931
All Personal Licence Holders are required to undertake refresher training every five years and renew their licence before ten years elapses.
If you obtained your personal licence before the end of 2009 then you need to take action NOW, further details are included in The Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005 – Personal Licence Holder Communications Document.
Additional material in relation to Personal Licence Holders is available on the Personal Licences subpage.
The Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005 – Liquor Personal Licence Holder – Training Accreditation – This training accreditation document, issued by Scottish Ministers, sets out the appropriate training qualifications for Personal Licence Holders. Further details are available on the Personal Licences subpage.
The Scottish Government is responsible for regulating the powers of Scottish local authorities and Licensing Boards in relation to licensing the sale of alcohol.
Licensing is the responsibility of Licensing Boards. Local Licensing Boards have wide discretion to determine appropriate licensing arrangements according to local needs and circumstances and their own legal advice.
The Scottish Government publishes annual Scottish liquor licensing statistics on the number of premises and personal licences in force, applications and reviews/proceedings.
The main piece of legislation that controls the sale of alcohol is the Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005.
This Act balances the rights of the majority of people who drink responsibly against the need to protect local communities from nuisance and crime associated with misuse of alcohol. It is intended to provide a clear and consistent underpinning for the alcohol licensing regime in Scotland based upon the five licensing objectives:
Further Acts that impact upon the licensing regime in Scotland include:
Alcohol (Minimum Pricing) (Scotland) Act 2012
Air Weapons and Licensing (Scotland) Act 2015
As well as this primary legislation, the licensing regime in Scotland is also affected by a range of secondary legislation.
Applications for alcohol licences and more general queries about licensed premises should be made to your local Licensing Board, which can be found by consulting your local authority website
Scottish Government guidance regarding the alcohol licensing regime:
Minimum Unit Pricing - Guidance for retailers and businesses on the implementation of Minimum unit pricing for alcohol in Scotland is available on the mygov.scot website.
Disabled access and facilities statement for a premises licence: completion guidance – March 2018 – Guidance for applicants for an alcohol premises licence on completing the disabled access and facilities statement required by the Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005.
Public drinking can often be a nuisance to local communities and can greatly hamper the quality of life for residents in a particular area.
Local authorities have the power to make byelaws to ban drinking in designated public places under provisions contained in the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973, subject to confirmation by the Scottish Ministers.
Circular LJ/02/2014 provides advice to local authorities applying to the Scottish Ministers for the confirmation of byelaws prohibiting the consumption of alcohol in designated public places. It replaces the advice contained in circular JD/6/2007 and revises the advice in circular JD/08/2009.
If you are a member of the public and wish to know about alcohol byelaws that are in operation within your area or wish to suggest that an alcohol byelaw should be brought in, please contact your local authority.

State run TV station announced some satisfaction about conditions of the elections throughout most of the country. However also pointed out to different types of incidents that either disrupted the event or prevented people from voting at all. For instance, several offices were ransacked by unknown gunmen in Central Region and people were not able to vote. Absence of electoral agents prevented voting in 10 voting centers in Ségou and Timbuktu Regions. 61 offices never opened due to insecurity in Mopti and Timbuktu Regions. According to Malian authorities no vote took place in at least 644 elections offices due to different acts of violence. Furthermore announced that voting was disrupted in at least 3988 other offices. According to Morgane Le Cam, journalist who has been covering the elections, tweeted that 81 percent of closed voting offices due to insecurity were located in Mopti Region, 13.4 percent on Timbuktu Region, and 5.4 percent in Ségou Region. Refugees in Mauritania, Burkina Faso, and Niger were reported to have been able to vote according to impressive live coverage by sahelien.com.
This was expected, at least for observers following the Malian and regional conflicts very closely. Security situation in Mopti Region have deteriorated not only due to militant groups like JNIM (Jama'at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimeen), but also to tensions between local communities. No major incidents related to militant groups took place the day of elections with the exception of intimidation acts and rocket attack in Aguelhoc, Kidal Region. Alleged members of militant group JNIM threatened and warned local population from voting in different location in Mopti Region. JNIM also claimed responsibility of launching rockets on MINUSMA base in Aguelhoc during elections day. In the statement (see the claim #83) JNIM stated that this is an indication that the fight will continue against the French and its collaborators until Shari'a wins, and these elections don't mean anything.
At this stage it's too early to predict who is going to win, however; there is strong possibility of second round. Soumaila Cissé is the strongest challenger to current president Ibrahim Boubakar Keita. Again, this is just a prediction based on early counts coming in, remains to be seen. Overall, today's elections occurred in less violent conditions compared to 2016 municipal elections when several offices were burned and voting boxes destroyed. Also, no major incidents recorded in Ménaka and Kidal Regions where State has limited to no presence.
These are crucial moments for Mali and the Malian people, whatever the outcome of these elections is, the focus should be on what's ahead. Any elections related violence will further delegitimize state credibility not only in the north and center of the country but also in the south. The government will also lose credibility among the opposition and armed groups signatories of the peace accord. As a result causing further instability throughout the country and delay in implementing the peace process. Something militant groups, like JNIM will exploit further to its narrative highlighted by Iyad Ag Ghali, that these elections are useless and only used to serve the usual beneficiaries and not the Malian people. This is an opportunity for Malian political elites to show willingness and leadership to move the country forward and delegitimize JNIM and other spoilers.

On Palm Sunday afternoon the fifth annual Easter party, sponsored by VFW 673 and Auxiliary, took place. A large crowd of youngsters ages two to seven participated. In previous years an egg hunt was held but since some of the children fell short, it was decided to change plans, so all kids would be treated equally. "Easter Bunny" left an ample supply of eggs at the Post Home, and a group of ladies filled over 400 bags with eggs, candy and bubble gum. After the distribution, Easter treats were taken to the Sisters of Providence and to the patients and personnel at Memorial Hospital, Providence Home and Mary Lee's Nursing Home.

The town of Ferdinand these days is faced with two problems: a shortage of water and a shortage of electric current. The community is doing something about the water situation, but so far seems to have its hands pretty well tied so far as doing anything about the shortage of electricity. At a special meeting of the town board this week, sealed bids were opened on the construction of a dam to create a new lake for Ferdinand's water supply system.The successful bidder was Hasenour & Sternberg of Jasper, with a bid of $19,367. The estimated cost of the dam, as determined by Engineer Carl J. Heim of Jasper, who drew up the specifications, was $25,000. Hasenour & Sternberg said they can build the dam in 25 days.

Mayor Jack E. Newton and the Jasper City Council, meeting in a special session last Friday, agreed unanimously, but reluctantly, that the ruling of the Department of Transportation directing that certain counties in the state of Indiana should go on Eastern Daylight Time effective at 2 a.m. on April 27, should be obeyed. While the mayor and councilmen expressed the feeling that the change is inequitable and not in the best interest of the people of Jasper and Dubois County, as well as others in the state of Indiana, they, as the elected governing body of the city, felt it necessary and compelling that they follow the law as it is set down.

If you haven't picked up your free allotment of trash stickers at city hall, get a move on. After May 1, they won't be free any longer. "We think all the people of Jasper have had ample time to pick up their stickers," Mayor Bill Schmitt said at Wednesday's Common Council meeting. "Now we are running into situations where people are moving and taking their stickers with them and things like that." Some people have already come in to buy stickers, which are available in sheets of five for $3.75 a sheet.

Jasper coach Terry Gobert usually hands out game balls to his players who hit home runs after Wildcat victories. After Thursday's 3-0 win over Big 8 foe Washington, the Cats' Brad Schmitt received the game ball, but it wasn't for blasting a monsterous, game-breaking home run. Brute strength at the plate isn't everything. Schmitt tossed a complete game of shut out ball against the Hatchets, enabling Jasper to claim a 2-0 advantage in the Big 8 Conference, and up its overall record to 7-2. "I was pleased with what Brad did out there this evening," said Gobert. "He mixed his pitches well, threw strikes, changed speeds, and got us a lot of ground ball outs." Schmidt's marathon performance gives the Jasper rotation their third complete game in-a-row.

It will strive to bring the community up to date on current events, he says.

Pen Fight - Finalist !
Pen Fight , my entry to the 5th Casual gameplay design competition got selected as a finalist. I don't think it has the depth and complexity of some of the other entries but it is quite simple and fun to play. Winners will be announced by the judges at the end of a 3 week period. Till then, the games are up there at jayisgames.com for everyone to play. The theme of the competition was 'upgrade'.
Here's the direct link to my game
This was more or less the best I could come up with given work and time constraints. I think that the core gameplay mechanic is working well. I have some ideas on how to build on that so that there is more depth to the whole thing.
Expect a Pen Fight ! Redux in the coming weeks.

One of the wonderful things about being a writer is the stories and ideas that come my way. A common question that people ask when I give presentations is where do I get my story ideas? The answer: everywhere. I have come up with story ideas from newspapers, television, people I meet, friends and waking up in the middle of the night. A reader emailed me an idea that I used in one manuscript.
Also, when I give speeches, people occasionally share stories and jokes with me. Here's one. I was told about going on SKI vacation—Spending, Kids Inheritance.
Then one of my current projects, writing the story of a World War II veteran, came about because a mutual friend introduced us. After hearing his wonderful stories of being an infantryman in Europe, prisoner of war and liberated by the Russians, we began a collaboration.
What I've learned—keep the eyes and ears open and enjoy the discoveries.

Countdown to Brexit - Competition LawWednesday, 17 April 2019
With the Brexit deadline fast approaching, the ByrneWallace Brexit team address various issues which will impact upon businesses either trading with or through the UK, or with suppliers in the UK, and/or with UK staff based in Ireland or staff in the UK.
In the fourth of our spotlight series, we address Competition Law.
Critical issues for businesses to consider in a "No Deal" Brexit include:
Withdrawal Agreement/No Deal Brexit: If ratified, the Withdrawal Agreement will govern the UK's ongoing legal relationship with the EU. Part Five of the Agreement contains mutual obligations in relation to competition law which maintain EU law principles in the areas of antitrust, State aid and merger control. The Agreement also provides that the interpretation of those provisions will be in accordance with the EU competition law provisions and the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU), even where an independent UK Authority is assessing them. Therefore, the UK will have limited latitude to diverge from EU law in competition matters unless or until a negotiated future relationship agreement supersedes these provisions.
However, even in the absence of a Withdrawal Agreement, the UK's European Union (Withdrawal) Act will apply. This Act provides that the provisions of EU law, including competition law, will be crystallised into and form a part of UK law upon exit date. Even though the UK would then be free to depart from the EU position, practically it is unlikely to do so in the short term.
Regardless of whether the Withdrawal Agreement is ratified or there is a No Deal, businesses ought to consider the following at a minimum:
Merger Control:
- Some mergers involving Irish companies will no longer be able to benefit from the "one stop shop" in merger control matters. Such transactions may require notification in the UK to the CMA, as well as at EU level. Therefore, greater commercial planning may be required in carrying out certain mergers, acquisitions and joint ventures post-Brexit.
- The number of mandatory notifications involving Irish companies under the EU Merger Regulation (EUMR) is likely to decrease. Many of the mergers involving Irish companies requiring a mandatory notification under the EUMR meet the thresholds largely because of UK derived turnover, which will no longer be counted in post-Brexit threshold assessments.
Antitrust Enforcement and Litigation
- The threshold "effect on trade between Member States" in antitrust matters will be more difficult to establish where that trade supposedly takes place between Ireland and the UK.
- Irish companies can resist the disclosure of UK parent company documents in the event of any investigation or dawn raid be initiated by the European Commission.
- There is a possibility of an increase in the number of private antitrust "follow-on" cases being brought in Ireland in the absence of the UK as the forum of choice, albeit subject to the difficulties in 3rd party funding and class action lawsuits in this jurisdiction.
- There is a possibility of greater divergences in competition law and enforcement policy between the Irish and UK competition authorities, though this is more likely in the medium- to long- term.
State Aid
- There is a possibility of a more liberal regime in the UK post-Brexit affecting Irish competitiveness.
- There is a possibility of a "Brexit bonus" or less restrictive enforcement applied by the European Commission in respect of State aid schemes implemented by the Irish State.
For more information on the above or for general advice on this topic, please contact our EU, Competition & Regulated Markets Team or Gerry Beausang of our Brexit Team.
