Sean Dunn is the head of digital at Astound Commerce, a private global digital commerce company headquartered in San Francisco, California. He has worked with some of the nation's most recognizable names, including Diageo, Treasury Wine Estates, Constellation, Hahn Family Wines, Kettle Chips, ZAGAT and Independent Distillers.
With online grocery sales surging and delivery services like Postmates and Instacart growing, it's clear that e-commerce has drastically changed the food and beverage space. Customers now expect the same convenience from supermarkets that they do from other retailers.
But there's one vertical that has been slow to catch up to these standards: wine and spirits. For a number of reasons, the industry is lagging behind rising consumer expectations — and it's a lose-lose for both shoppers and brands alike. Consumers want food and beverage providers that can anticipate their needs and personalize experiences, but they aren't getting that from the companies out there today.
To make real strides, leaders must understand the challenges that have impeded a flourishing e-commerce marketplace for wine and spirits providers, where the market stands now and how to get ahead of the curve.
It's easy to see why wine and spirits brands have adapted less quickly to e-commerce than those in other verticals. Alcohol regulations, many of which remain largely unchanged since Prohibition, have restricted the easy transportation of wine and spirits to consumers. For example, only five states today permit direct shipping of spirits to consumers. Additionally, each state regulates alcohol differently, adding further logistics challenges.
These regulatory challenges compound the struggles e-commerce companies already deal with when managing transactions and fulfillment online. The logistics of shipping high-value liquid products across the country, temperature control requirements, and the need for specialized couriers can create difficult barriers.
Additionally, the last mile is especially problematic for wine and spirit delivery considering the need for ID verification (and the fact that you can't leave wine outside on a doorstep in extreme weather). Today's solutions aren't great — for many brands delivering these products, home delivery fails almost half of the time. Though brands have more success delivering to business addresses, last-mile concerns are significant.
The challenges of marrying alcohol with e-commerce haven't stopped all companies from playing the game. But most brands that have ventured into this territory are limited in what they currently offer.
One-hour delivery players have emerged, like Mini Bar and Drizly, with convenience as their main selling point. These services get spirits to consumers quickly and easily. However, such companies offer little value when it comes to brand and relationship building. Brands delivered by them aren't learning anything about their consumers since they aren't able to collect the data.
The digital wine space is currently populated by weak players from software services, like VinSuite to Wine Direct, that specialize more in club fulfillment, often with outdated and inefficient platforms. These companies use almost zero behavior-based marketing tactics and struggle to maintain customer loyalty.
To succeed, brands need to take cues from the companies already mastering e-commerce. The same trends that have defined the past few years of e-commerce should be implemented here: seamlessly connected online channels, personalized and hyperlocal CX strategies and data-backed behavioral marketing tactics. The entire category presents an enormous opportunity for brands that can master these strategies.
Take companies like Vivino, an online wine community, database and mobile app where users can buy, rate and review wines, scan wine labels to learn more information about their favorite bottles and receive personalized recommendations based on past purchase history.
Companies like this offer the engaging experiences other brands must emulate to form real connections with customers, who need better reasons not to just buy from the liquor store on the corner of the street. That means providing more value than just a delivery service or a discount on wine.
The final piece of the alcohol and e-commerce puzzle brings together digital engagement and human nurturing. Because alcohol is a more unique product than other industries, the relationship cannot succeed if companies keep consumers at arm's length. Services need to focus on personalizing the digital experience by automating the early steps through one-to-one behavioral marketing and then engaging through white-glove service that is more human. This combination is the only way to win in the alcohol e-commerce space. For anyone who can build brand-centric relationships and deliver on a unique and ownable brand promise, the future looks bright.
Mastering alcohol and e-commerce is easier said than done. To deliver these experiences, brands require robust e-commerce platforms that can not only handle the challenges that come with traditional e-commerce but that are uniquely adapted to the hurdles of selling wine and spirits. Supported by this backend technology, wine and spirits brands might finally catch up to 2018 and deliver the experiences their customers crave.

Sports and Esports Betting Set to Come to Missouri After New Bill Introduced?
1 What betting does the new bill cover?
2 Could Missouri soon see esports betting?
As the new legislative session begins in the State of Missouri this week, House Bill 581, sponsored by Rep. Phil Christofanelli was introduced and with it, the opportunity for Missouri to finally repeal the laws that would then allow sports and esports betting in the state.
The not unexpected news comes a short time after an initial gambling bill, HB4, that was presented in 2022, but which failed to pass in time due to filibustering by Senator Denny Hoskins in April 2022.
After neighbouring state Kansas successfully changed its legislation to allow sports betting in the state in 2022, Missouri has missed out on potentially millions of dollars in tax (Kansas reported an increase of $8m in tax revenue, directly attributable to legalising sports betting in the state).
Furthermore, with hundreds of thousands of Missourians crossing the border to place bets in Kansas, it is a no-brainer for the state to try and pass the bill, repeal the laws and modify its legislation to allow betting in the state.
What betting does the new bill cover?
The new bill will alter the definition of 'games of skill' to include sports betting and esports betting. In fact, esports betting has been specifically included in the definition of what betting will be allowed in Missouri should the bill be passed.
By definition, when Missouri refers to sports wagering it refers to:
"Wagering on athletic, sporting and other competitive events involving human competitors including, but not limited to, esports, or on other events as approved by the commission."
This means that all your standard betting markets, pre-match and In-Play betting, should all be covered by the new legislation.
To clarify, the bill classifies esports as "athletic and sporting events in which all participants are eighteen years of age or older and involving electronic sports and competitive video games."
The amendments to the bill do not cover fantasy betting, which has been legal under separate legislation in the state since 2016.
Could Missouri soon see esports betting?
Given that the state was in a race with neighbour Kansas to introduce sports betting in 2022 (a race which it lost), the hopes are that natives of Missouri will soon be able to enjoy sports and esports betting.
A structure for how the sports and esports betting in the state would be organised involving licenses for real world and online operators working in partnership with sports teams based in the state, has already been proposed.
However, as has been the case in other states; when it comes to sports and esports betting in the USA, it will be the financial benefits to the state that will likely prove to be the most compelling argument.
With other states now bringing in multiple millions and in some cases tens of millions in additional tax revenue through the legalisation of betting on sports and esports tournaments, Missouri knows that to remain fiscally responsible, it needs to do something.
And the state needs to do something quick.
Otherwise the hundreds of thousands of Missourians who have popped over the border to bet in Kansas will instead be contributing to raising taxes in the neighbouring state, rather than their own.

"Our life with Zurie began in March of 2018. I was looking online for a possible addition to our family and there she was! I called my family together for their opinion and we concluded she was the dog we wanted. The next day I called the Wyoming County SPCA to set up an appointment to drive out. We were convinced Zurie was the dog for us and Zurie would be coming home as an official member of our family that very day. We are from Gates so the drive was no short haul, and worse yet it was a western New York infamous snow storm! After what seemed like miles we met Zurie.
She was perfect and we fell in love with her immediately. We finished the paperwork, got in the car and home we all went. During the first three weeks Zurie got tons of love and she loved all of us right back.
Those first three weeks were not without incident though. After multiple trips to the vet, Zurie was diagnosed with a cancerous growth on her leg which we are happy to say has been removed. Zurie also has ongoing allergies that she needs to take medication for as she developed serious welts and hives. Zurie is still under the care of Veterinary Specialists of Rochester for her drooping lip, ear, and cheek on 1 side of her face to find out what is causing this condition.
Thanks to donors like you and Bayer, Rochester Hope for Pets was able to help Zurie's family with a portion of their overwhelming veterinary bills, making sure that Zurie stays healthy and in her fur-ever home.
Clara, a lovely middle aged lady, was adopted in June 2018. Her new family provided preventative veterinary care and had her ear issues treated, but didn't expect her to need a dental cleaning so soon.
In addition to a cleaning, Clara needed eight teeth extracted; this type of procedure often ranges from $1,000-$2,000 and the family just couldn't swing the cost right away. A Rochester Hope for Pets award helped her family pay for this much needed service, and today, Clara is feeling much better thanks to supporters like you!
This Tail of Hope is generously brought to you by our friends at Ceva Animal Health.
Sweet Bailey here tore his cranial cruciate ligaments in both knees within 12 weeks of each other this winter. After having the first knee repaired and finding out he needed the second one done, Bailey's mom wrote to us, "I'm drowning in vet bills." Rochester Hope for Pets was able to help with the cost of the second surgery, from which Bailey is now recovering. After the surgery, his mom said, "thank you again from the bottom of my heart and also from Bailey's both hind legs." We're so happy you're feeling better Bailey!
PS: Our wonderful friends at Davidson Fink helped make Bailey's Tail of Hope possible!
Rosie the chihuahua was adopted two years ago from a local rescue. At the time of adoption, Rosie was 7 years old, but that didn't stop her new family from falling in love with her. Soon after bringing her home, they noticed that Rosie's breath smelled, and although they tried different solutions, her breath continued to smell really bad.
This Tail of Hope is brought to you by our friends at Javen Construction – thank you to this very talented team!
"First of all we would like to say how grateful we are to you guys. This grant help Alice get back to her self.
We ended up kinda rescuing Alice and her siblings. They were brought to us at 6 days old. So our whole family jumped in and we bottle fed them all (6 of them) and took shifts to make sure they were taken care of. Needless to say they all survived and are happy and healthy. Alice however would not eat for anyone but me. So I say she picked me. My family kept 4 of the puppies. Alice and her sister were born with shark jaws. However Alice at 3 years old needed surgery to remove what was only gonna be 3 teeth, which ended being 9 teeth and $1300. I gladly paid to make my baby better.
After Moeglie was hit by a car, his mom rushed him to Veterinary Specialists & Emergency Services. There he was diagnosed with hemoabdomen – blood was filling his abdominal cavity. He also needed to have his left hind leg amputated. The possibility of losing your best friend and the daunting bills from trying to save him would overwhelm anyone. Thankfully, a Rochester Hope for Pets award helped pay for a portion of the care – taking a giant burden off Moeglie's mom and allowing her to focus her attention on Moeglie's recovery.

Final Quiz
the other thing that I've seen works well in keeping quality over quantity is filtering and managing those new member requests who you allowed to enter your community will make a huge difference and impact with how engaged people are. If someone is just not interested in the topics that you're talking about, they're just not gonna engage, they're not going to post, they're not going to become valuable members. So keep in mind you want quality over quantity. It's better to have a smaller group of members who are engaging who relate to each other than a large community where no one posts, no one engages and no one is really interested in the content that you're publishing. How do you filter users or new requests is also a great way to protect your community, keeping it healthy and thriving and ensuring that only the right people join your facebook group. So this is where you're gonna be able to see all of your member requests on the tap. Here's what we're gonna see that all the list. I d...
on't usually don't recommend approving everyone automatically use the filters to your advantage to verify who's joining your community, learn about them. And also facebook now gives you a number of different filter options to go through the requests. So all these different filters are great. But these are the ones that I use and have helped me the most to filter new member requests. So the first thing and most important one is people who answer questions. Those are the ones the people that respond that you obviously want to accept because they're most likely to engage, relate to your content and you definitely want to approve those. So someone who took the time to answer the question is probably a better fit than someone that don't even bother to go through, read the question and answer them. They're most likely one to start engaging with your content to relate with your content and just become valuable members to your community. So you definitely want to approve everyone who's answering all of your questions or even some of the most important questions that you're asking to all new member requests. One of the other options I use within the filters is the joint date. You know, you have options of less than three months, less than six months over a year ago, over two years ago facebook has gotten better at identifying fake profiles, but this is also a good way to run every once in a while and see members and accept members who have been using facebook for some time so that you avoid accepting bots or fake profiles. So I usually try to filter people who have at least had a facebook profile for a year. If someone just opened their facebook profile a month ago, there's probably a high chance that it's going to be a fake user. So this is also a good way to weed out fake accounts and ensure that you're just bringing in real people, not bots. And the third one, I like to use the rules, People that have agreed to the rules. Again, if people have agreed to rules, they're most likely know what to expect when they join and probably behave better, not spam your group. So why agreeing to your rules? Because your rules are the foundation to healthy community. A person who actually read and agreed to your rules is basically accepting how you're managing your community, especially when it comes to spam managing conflict and also blocking users. And the last one that I would suggest is invited if someone is invited by a member, definitely accept them, they know what to expect. So play around with those rules because those are going to help you better filter. Who do you accept and who do you really? Or should you really allow to join your community? If someone was referred to you or invited by other members, this is a really good sign. And someone that you definitely want to accept, even if they don't answer questions if they were invited by someone, there's a bigger chance that they're going to be engaging because someone familiar to them already explained them how the community works, how the group works and how much value it's bringing to themselves and how much is going to help that new member and the last one. And this is an extra one because it doesn't work for everyone. But depending on the type of group that you're trying to build country is also a good filter for accepting new member request. This filter works great if you're actually trying to build local communities within your city region or even your country. So take advantage of these filters. Again, you want to focus on quality over quantity, especially when you're starting your group, a small, thriving community, It's gonna bring you better results, healthier conversations and in the long run, just keep your existing members happier and there's going to be a bigger chance that they actually refer to more people to your community if they're finding your content valuable and also engaging in really cool conversations with other members.

Most Reverend Greg Bennet
PLENARY COUNCIL NEWS: June 2020
Six Discernment & Writing Groups, one for each of the six national themes were tasked with writing papers to bring some major themes and issues into focus.The papers are an important contribution to the Church in Australia's ongoing discernment towards the Plenary Council.
They will be foundational to the next stage of discernment toward the Plenary council –the development of the working paper, or Instrumentum Laboris –and ultimately the agenda for the Council assemblies.
To read the papers, the fruits of the labours of so many throughout Australia, please go to https://cathnews.com/cathnews/38106-discernment-papers-help-sharpen-focus-for-plenary-council?
The second stage of preparation for the Plenary Council begins soon. Until Ash Wednesday next year, Listening & Discernment process from the faithful on the six National Plenary Themes, will help shape the agenda for the first session of the Plenary Council.
Wednesday November 27th – Prayerful and Eucharistic daytime session.

Plenary 2020 Discussion Parish Reading Guide
Reading Notes for St. Michael's Parishioners, December 2018
This record of Plenary discussions has been confirmed by several members of the Parish Plenary
Committee as accurate.
Over 200 parishioners have had a voice… the majority on the Plenary Wall. A smaller but significant
number entered into extended dialogue at the luncheon and afternoon tea meetings. The Prayer
Group was the largest group to have extended discussions.
A cursory glance reveals what is on the hearts of parishioners… some of the issues are
A welcoming church
Upholding the Traditions (large T)
The role of women
Broadening Sacramental authority (e.g. priesthood: who &how)
Centrality of Jesus and his Gospel
Parish Participation & Cohesion
Sunday liturgy… (e.g. language, music)
Ecology & the Christian response
Prayer & Sacraments
Perhaps there are no surprises in this list. I would point out that there are two distinct groups of insights and suggestions for further action.
There are some things we as a parish can do nothing about (e.g. Married priests)… we send these concerns and suggestions into the organising committee for national discernment and discussion. There are, however, many concerns and suggestions in the record which we can actually start working on or continue to strengthen right here and right now (e.g. Support for the Young of the Parish)
If we were to sum up the parish possibilities for action I suggest we could do no better than to check out the Plenary Wall Comment on the last page of the Plenary Discussions Record… go to the seventh dot point: Love within yourself & to others… compassion to others and to all… understanding of The Word… giving of yourself… assist more with charity.
I believe that this is a fabulously powerful tool for Parish Renewal… a central document for all of us to carefully consider and act upon. A prayerful reading of this record of what is on the hearts of our parish members will inform opportunities for personal action. We are all called to co-responsibility for the health and vitality of the life of the parish and the church community.

TACLOBAN CITY, Philippines (UPDATED) – "Ok lang, buhay ka pa naman (It's ok, you're still alive anyway)."
This was what President Benigno Aquino III supposedly told local businessman Kenneth Uy in a tense briefing where he reportedly walked out after another businessman, Jeff Manibay, recommended the imposition of martial law in typhoon-affected areas.
It was November 10, just two days after Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan) devastated Tacloban City and the rest of Leyte province, and relief had not reached the surviving residents. Local officials and businesmen discussed their urgent needs with Aquino, recalling one instance when Uy was fired at by looters in downtown Tacloban.
Uy vividly remembered the day Yolanda battered his city. "The day after the typhoon, I didn't want to wake up, I didn't want to stand up, because when I looked out of the window, I saw that it was true – that we've been really hit by a typhoon, that it is really going to change our life," Uy said.
Uy has recovered since then. By the time the President returned to the province on Monday, November 18, Uy was back in business. He has shaved his head to show that he has moved on and is ready to embark on a new beginning.
Yolanda has become every businessman's nightmare, even worse than bankruptcy, Uy told Rappler in a conversation in front of his hotel along Zamora Street.
It is now one of the safest streets in Tacloban City. Uy's hotel, the Asia Stars Hotel, served as the nerve center of the augmentation team sent by the Philippine National Police (PNP) to help restore peace and security in the city. Police generals, media, and international aid groups are staying there. A room costs about P2,500 a night.
Across the street from the hotel were remnants of panic and disorder: destroyed stores and restaurants. Broken bottles of medicines littered the front of a pharmacy.
A few blocks away, the grocery that Uy's family owned – one of the oldest in the city – was ransacked. It survived cutthroat competition from Gaisano and Robinsons malls but not the hunger and desperation of the typhoon victims.
"You have to be a little bit crazy if you want to start a business now. I think I'm crazy enough, and I think I can find a few more crazy people around to join me," he said.
He did. On Sunday, November 17, he started selling prepaid call cards that came from Cebu. On Wednesday, November 20, he will open a tiangge (flea market) with some local traders he invited.
The store will sell food, water, toiletries, fuel, and gas – scarce commodities that are badly needed in the affected areas.
Water is locally sourced. Canned goods, toiletries, and fuel will come from Cebu. Suppliers from Samar will bring in vegetables beginning Friday, November 22.
UnionBank and Banco de Oro will also have desks at the store to receive deposits and service withdrawals.
The two banks, together with government-owned Land Bank of the Philippines and the Development Bank of the Philippines, will open ahead of other banks, which will reportedly resume operations on Friday yet.
"We have to put the infrastructure for people to buy so that those who can afford will not line up for the relief goods. The people who really need help should get the relief goods," Uy said.
In a press briefing on Wednesday, November 20, National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) executive director Eduardo del Rosario said "we are happy that there is now economic activity" in the region.
Almost 80% of the local businessmen have left Tacloban City, according to Uy. He decided to stay, just as he did back in college when he had the option to leave and study in Manila or abroad.
"I told myself, if you go somewhere else, then I don't think Tacloban deserves that. She has been good to us. She has been good to our parents, to Lolo and Lola (to Grandpa and Grandma)," Uy said.
Uy's grandparents, traders from China, arrived in Tacloban in the 1930s. His grandfather, Uytingkoc, started a bakery that expanded into businesses that include a grocery, an ice plant, and a rice mill.
His Australia-based brother is coming home to help him rebuild their business.
Others may have left, but it doesn't mean they are not coming back, Uy said.
"They're eager to start again, to start their businesses, but there are questions that they (government) have to answer first," he said.
Security is top on the business sector's list. They were not only traumatized by the typhoon but also terrified by the looting incidents. Electricity and banking are other important concerns.
LOOTING IN TACLOBAN. Businesswoman Joy Uy captured how some people looted an appliance store near her house.
"They (businessmen) really blame the government. They move too slow. Puro salita lang. Nakikita naman, 'di ba (They're all talk. Isn't it obvious)?" Uy's cousin, Jojo Uy, told Rappler on his way to Manila.
Jojo temporarily left Tacloban to bring his wife and her family to Manila. They felt helpless when they saw their goods and those from other stores being looted. They no longer feel safe in the city.
Jojo said he will return to Tacloban after a week or two, depending on how the security situation in the city will improve.
Other businessmen also want to go back to restore commerce and help "their people" in need.
"We have no choice. We live there," he said.
He echoed what his cousin, Kenneth Uy, said back home: "I don't think you can move San Juanico Bridge. I don't think you can move the Sto. Niño Shrine. Those are the things that we have grown old with. And hopefully, we will die here."


This year, Literacy Week takes place Monday, February 25th through Friday, March 1st, culminating in "National Read Across America Day" on 3/1. Did you know? This national celebration of reading always coincides with Dr. Seuss's birthday on March 2nd.
At Bay Laurel, we want our Dolphins to know they all possess a superpower...the "Superpower of Reading"! In celebration of this week, we invite all of our Dolphins to stock their classrooms with copies of books from their teacher's wish lists. This year, we're doing it a little differently: you have the ability to choose a donation of one (1) paperback book, or one (1) hardcover book to help build your child's classroom library (or you can purchase one of each, if you like!).
Questions? Please reach out to Alexis Arinsburg.

Shakespeare Meets Tech: A Julia Tragicomedy
Ever wonder what Shakespeare would make of modern life? Better yet, what he would think of all the new ways of communicating that technology offers? Well, if the creative minds of the Julia meetup in Dublin are any indication, Shakespeare would have found plenty of inspiration in Ireland's thriving tech scene.
Machine Learning in Julia
Just ask Pedro Ecija, who took to the stage at the monthly Julia meetup to deliver his new work: Machine Learning in Julia: A Tragicomedy in Five Acts. Yes, you read that correctly! A quirky take on the dynamic programming language, Pedro laughs when asked about his inspiration for the piece.
He says: "It was frustrating at times. It felt like a Shakespearean work – there was tragedy and comedy in equal parts. I thought it would be a nice experience for people to come to the group and hear about the experiences I've had with Julia, and what I learned from it. I felt it would be helpful for people who want to start using Julia, and if you think about it – you learn better when you're having fun."
Joined by a host of Julia enthusiasts at Dublin's Chaplin pub on Hawkins Street for the occasion, he adds: "When we have a laugh, we're more likely to remember it rather than simply going through lines and lines of code."
Monthly Meetups
Along with Pedro, a host of Julia experts attended the meetup on the night. Held in the upstairs area of the Chaplin bar, the event was a relaxed affair where members shared learnings and their experience of using the programming language.
A friendly environment to network in, Kevin O'Brien – one of the organisers of the regular meetup – says of the occasion: "I learn a lot of what I need for my job from meetups. With computer languages, they're developing all the time, and the meetups really help you to keep up-to-date with current best practice."
He adds: "In this case, Julia is for numerical computing, so it mostly is focused towards mathematical machine learning and people who are used to math lab. It's numerical and scientific computing."
A data scientist and lecturer at the University of Limerick, Kevin notes that the meetup scene is vibrant around the country. He says: "I'm based in Limerick and we are looking at starting a Tech Limerick series of events to build up a tech scene there. There are grounds for great optimism down there."

Geelong teenager and budding sailor Nick Lee has grown up on the water and was one of almost 3000 competitors who took part in this weekend's historic 175th running of the annual Festival of Sails.
"My parents bought a boat when I was six months old and I reckon I've been on a boat ever since," the fifteen year old said. Nick has been sailing competitively for the past couple of years and was the youngest crewmember on the boat 'Bundaberg'.
Bundaberg was competing in the Division One Cruising with Spinnaker category, during the event which is the largest keel boat regatta in the southern hemisphere.
Nick is part of a growing trend of young sailors taking up what has traditionally been known as a sport for older men.
"It's really great fun and it doesn't matter what age you are you can enjoy it. I enjoy everything about it," he said.
Festival of Sails Chairman Peter Alexander said despite sizzling temperatures the weather didn't deter tens of thousands of people from flocking to the waterfront for the 2018 Festival of Sails, including a bumper crowd on Australia Day.
"The 175th anniversary of the Festival of Sails was a fantastic celebration of both our history and our future," he said.
About 100,000 people are believed to have enjoyed the atmosphere of Victoria's oldest event, which this year returned to the Australia Day long weekend.
The Festival of Sails injects millions of dollars into the local Geelong economy.
Last year's event attracted an economic benefit of $12 million. While this year's figures are yet to be finalised, Mr Alexander said the weekend had been another great success.
For the first time the Festival of Sails, which is sponsored by Rex Gorell Land Rover, coincided with the Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race.
Mr Alexander said it was great to see so many boats of all sizes out on the water and so many people getting into the spirit of the event both on the water along the waterfront.
This year's event attracted 300 boats of all sizes to Geelong with entries representing all Australian states and participants from New Zealand and Norway.
The Geelong Connected Communities Waterfront Festival at Steampacket Gardens and Transvaal Square had plenty on offer with the RAAF Roulettes precision flying team and the traditional Australia Day fireworks two of the crowd favourites.
At the close of competition, Sydney to Hobart winner Ichi Ban – skippered by Matt Allan – was the winner of the prestigious Rex Gorell Land Rover IRC Division 1 trophy.
The 2019 Festival of Sails will be held from Australia Day Saturday, January 26 to Monday, January 28.


Since running a fishing charter business previously on the Gippsland lakes, I found I could not always cater for the whole family if there happened to be a frail or disabled member of a group. I said I will do something about this one day.
I have therefore designed a very steady boat The Corio Princess with a flat deck and a handicapped capable toilet enabling wheel chairs to be used on board. This has been built to very stringent and strict marine safety requirements per Marine Safety Victoria's requirements.
The number one goal is to take people of all abilities and family groups fishing with Geelong Fishing Charter on Corio Bay including food. The most exciting part of this venture is the opportunity to employ people with a handicap.
A unique open-air restaurant on the water, day and night, and the beautiful view of the lights of Geelong at night. We have clear blinds to pull down along the sides if it gets too cold. Disabled people will be able to enjoy an outing on Corio Bay that has never been available before.
As well as the above, I would like to say that I aim to take out students that are studying Biology and marine sciences, we will be catering for some 30 secondary Colleges.
We will also be offering a service to those who wish to have their ashes spread on Corio Bay. This is a unique service that is needed in Geelong.

For Facebook users who don't have the heart to defriend that pesky poster, the social network is introducing an "Unfollow" button.
The change really just replaces the old "Hide All From User" option with the more concise "Unfollow."
"This means you are still friends, but updates from that person won't appear in your News Feed," Facebook said in an email to TechCrunch. "The goal of this change is to help people curate their News Feeds and see more of the content that they care about."
Facebook started rolling out the new button Monday. To "Unfollow" someone, simply click the small drop-down arrow on the upper-right corner of any post on your News Feed and select "Unfollow." Programmers also added a "Following" icon next to the "Like" button on pages and next to "Friends" on timelines.
Facebook assures users that the unfollowed person won't receive a notification that they've been hidden.
Many critics note that this new feature is a tiny step closer to the "Dislike" button that users have been clamoring for, albeit much more passive-aggressive.
"The 'Unfollow' option is the much the less confrontational way of making someone disappear, since they won't be notified of your secret vote of disinterest and will still see you in their friends list," NBC News reported.
Users are generally receptive to the "Unfollow" feature.
"Good. Great decision," one person commented on Mashable.com. "I love my aunt and only way to connect is Facebook but I don't want to read all of her political rants like I know she doesn't want to see all my postings of consumer reviews."

Modern stable systems place great demands to an effective bedding material regardless, whether it is in stables with egg or meat production.
The wellbeing of the animals in the stable connects closely to the fact that the bedding material must have enough absorption power to keep the environment dry throughout the required period without any dust emission. At the same time, it is a clear advantage if the bedding also supports the natural behaviour of the animal.
We recommend easy-way as bedding for poultry. easy-way comes in two different fractions. For layers we recommend easy-way and easy-strø.

laudisio
With taxes done, we decided to head out to review Laudisio, a restaurant that my supervisor (a foodie in her own right) raved about. [Note: We reviewed Laudisio when it was in its old location. It has since moved to the 29th Street Mall in Boulder and expanded into a larger establishment. We have dined at both locations. The old location had better, more personalized service. The food is still very good.]
This restaurant has been voted Boulder's top Italian restaurant 12 years in a row. We arrived early Saturday evening and within the hour and a half that we dined, the place filled up with diners ranging in attire from casual to funky to slick. Several groups were clearly regulars which speaks well of this restaurant. The staff was professional, friendly, warm, and most knowledgable about the food and particularly the wine. The overall atmosphere was cozy and casual with the unstated goal of really enjoying your time at Laudisio.
a comfortable and romantic atmosphere
The bread basket arrived with our water and the menus. By menus I mean the regular menu, the specials menu, and the wine list. There were three breads in our basket: a warm and fluffy focaccia, a small loaf of bread topped with asiago, and thin, crisp flatbread sticks. I was a huge fan of the first two with olive oil. The menu offers a nice selection of cold appetizers (and some warm), salads, pasta and risotto, red meat, fish, and poultry.
an assortment of breads
We opted for a flight of white wines ($7.50) to sample the oft-praised wine selection at Laudisio. The lightest was a 2004 Pinot Bianco (Tiefenbrunner). Light, crisp and incredibly drinkable, but not a wine that really leaves a big impression on me. The 2003 Pinot Grigio (Peter Zemmer) was fruity and slightly spicier with more presence. This was my favorite to drink on its own. Jeremy's favorite was the 2004 Portico dei Leoni (Alois Lageder) which was a fuller body tasting of apples and pears. I liked this one with the salmon appetizer most. Laudisio provides a nice chart with tasting notes and background information on the tray for diners. We quite enjoyed this selection of wines.
flight #2: trentino-alto adige bianco
One of our appetizers was the citrus-cured smoked salmon ($10) which was presented with capers, thinly sliced red onions, lemon confit, a hot mustard, a purée of garlic and capers, and a plate of crostini. The salmon is made in-house and had a firm bite with nice overtones of citrus peel. The flesh was fresh – not fishy at all. I think the mustard was pretty strong, which I liked, but I felt the salmon was better complimented with the capers, onions, and the garlic caper purée. The lemon confit was a nice touch too, but it did not add to the experience for me. I could have been fine with or without it. As for the crostini… see the next paragraph.
citrus-cured smoked salmon
The buffalo carpaccio ($9) and the salmon arrived at the same time. Because I was busy moving plates around to photograph them, I did not notice which plate the crostini accompanied. I tasted it with the salmon, and then I tasted it with the buffalo. I thought it was superb with the buffalo (oops!). Carpaccio is thinly shaved raw or cured meat. Talk about tender! It was served on a large plate with the slices fanned out and topped with a mix of baby spinach and arugula, with a mix of shredded horseradish in olive oil and perhaps lemon, set in a bowl-shaped tuille of parmigiano. The buffalo, horseradish and parmigiano were an incredible combination of flavors.
carpaccio di buffalo in a parmigiano basket
A second flight of wines ($11) was in order for the heavier entrées – reds. The first of this set was the 2002 Pinot Nero (Aloi Lageder). It smelled and tasted very strongly of hyacinth blooms in spring to me and overall it was my least favorite – weak with an odd combination of flavors I did not care for. The 2004 Lagrein (J. Hofstätter) was the most pleasing of the reds to drink in my opinion. It had nice fruit (I like fruity) with other richer flavors and it was not too heavy. The 2003 Teroldego Rotaliano (Zeni) sort of smacked me over the head after the first two. It had more oak and a much bigger body – a little heavy for me to take with my entrée but wonderful with Jeremy's steak.
flight #3: trentino-alto adige rosso
I ordered the gnocchi ($18) with wild mushrooms, garlic, and asiago cheese. The suggested wine on the menu to pair with it was the Lagrein 2004, which I didn't realize was our second wine in the red flight – it really did pair beautifully with the dish. The gnocchi itself was quite good, but just shy of that melt-in-your-mouth I'm-ready-to-die texture of Full Moon Grill or The Kitchen. Still, the combination was delightful and I was crazy about the heaps of different mushrooms. The ingredients are not only fresh, but full of flavor and masterfully combined. I should mention the portions at Laudisio are generous.
gnocchi della montagna
Jeremy told me that his filet mignon ($29) was cooked to perfection – as good as any he has had in a restaurant. The filet was cooked rare (by request) and served on a bed of "reason enough to become vegetarian" wild mushrooms in a madeira reduction and topped with a slice of melted brie. It was accompanied by pan fried potatoes (perfection) and steamed asparagus and broccoli with shreds of cheese and sea salt sprinkled on top. Jeremy felt the broccoli was the only unexceptional part of the meal. Jeremy mentioned the beef was especially good – some of the best flavor and texture he's tried. The bite I had with the 2003 Teroldego was the pinnacle.
filet mignon with melted brie
We specifically asked to box up our dinners so that we could sample Laudisio's fine dessert selection. Denver's 5280 Magazine rates the crème brûlée ($6.50) here as the best dessert in Boulder and I had to find out for myself. I probably wouldn't call it the best dessert, but I would certainly say it is the best crème brûlée. It is served in a shallow dish so that each bite has some of the incredible caramelized sugar (and I like that they use coarse sugar for the topping). The custard is rich and creamy with a subtle vanilla flavor. The volume, though shallow, is substantial – and I ended up taking half of it home.
classic crème brûlée
The chocolate bombe ($6) beckons to chocoholics. The base is a genoise of rich dark chocolate topped with a light, smooth, yet rich chocolate mousse accented with Grand Marnier. The whole thing is delicately covered in a luscious and sinfully dense dark chocolate ganache (my guess is Valrhona, but I could be wrong). Jeremy said this was the best chocolate dessert he has had in a restaurant to that point.
chocolate bombe
The coffee ($1.50) was Amante and very good (Italian espresso roast), but not the best. We truly enjoyed our dinner at Laudisio and rank it up there with the better of the Boulder restaurants (hmmm, there are a lot in Boulder…).

Hi, my name is Masha and I found your blog couple of hours ago and can't stop reading it! It's funny that it was recommended to me by online friend from Canada who had no idea that I live in Boulder too!
So, I just wanted to say hi and say how glad I am to find another Boulder resident who enjoys food and foodphotography as much as I do!

Masha – thanks and welcome to urb. I don't actually live in Boulder, but I'm close by. Cheers!
I had been to Laudisios a couple times sand it was decent. Nice Italian wine, satisfying, good meal. Tonight however I went by myself for dinner and the service was so bad, it ruined the whole experience, and I will never go back. Ever. It's a long list: Sat down, took the waiter 5 minutes to come by. He comes by and says water and bread are on the way. I order a beer, water comes, still no bread. I had to ask for the bread. Order meal, entree comes, waiter never comes by to ask how everything is, if I need anything else. I had ordered the "touristico" set menu, including a dessert. I am not much of a dessert person, so I kindly asked if they could substitute the cheap house wine I had ordered ($4.50) for the dessert. He acted like it was an outrageous request and said "no." So I asked for sorbet instead of the heavy dessert, that was fine, and the check. He brings the check, and had charged me for the dessert, and over-charged on the wine. At this point I'm laughing at how the experience had completely deteriorated. I had my credit card out and he said he would correct the bill, and he would take my card. He said "if you trust me I'll just take your card and correct the bill." I said "no, I don't trust you". And he said "Oooohh." Yet another big mistake. What planet are these people from? He then brings the bill, I look at it and give him my card, he comes back and puts it down on the table and says nothing and walks away. YOU CALL THIS SERVICE? UNBELIEVABLY RUDE. It's just low class to personalize the situation against me, when all the mistakes were on his part. I gave him a 9% tip – which was generous – and I will never go back. Ever.
Chris – that really sucks. Sorry about the bad experience. We haven't eaten there in… two years? I have to say the dining experience was very different for us after they moved to their new location. I liked the OLD staff in the OLD location – they were truly professional and very sincere.

While sitting at my computer, killing time before heading to a Good Time Girls meeting, I saw an e-mail from boss-lady Sara linking to an article about a message in a bottle found on a beach in B.C., originally dropped in the ocean by a guy named Earl Willard en route from "Frisco" to Bellingham in 1906. The find made news partly because it may be the oldest surviving message in a bottle to date. We also found it exciting that the message inside listed a visible Bellingham address. Sara mentioned that she'd love to know more about this bottle-tossing fellow, and I couldn't pass up the challenge….
As a Good Time Girl, I do a lot of research trying to look up documentation on rather "shady characters" from our town's past. Many of these folks (prostitutes, criminals, wayward types) can be difficult to research, because they often moved around a lot/used different names/avoided authority and so forth. Thanks to the inherent challenges in tracking such people, my research skills have been honed considerably, and I consider myself pretty good at it (and also fast).
To give you a feel for what town looked like during the early 1900s: Pantages Theatre in Bellingham, 1906. Found at the Center for Pacific Northwest Studies (photo ID 524).
It seems messages in bottles are cast for many reasons: from being someone's dying last words, to serving the study of ocean currents. As a child, I engaged in another form of this type of communication by "balloon mail" (tying messages onto balloons). No one ever found my balloons, or if they did, they never contacted me. Rain probably destroyed my ill-fated notes. My motivation was curiosity – where would it go, who would find it? Now we were wondering, who was this Earl Willard and why did he send his message?
First of all, I did a quick look-up to confirm the address of the Railroad Museum on Commercial Street, currently in Bellingham's "Parkade" building. That structure was built in 1969, so the building where Earl lived in 1906 is no longer standing (not surprisingly given Bellingham's sadly high rate of historic building loss).
A quick search on ancestry.com, as well as the Washington State Archives Online revealed that there were a couple of individuals named Earl Willard in Washington State records that seemed like candidates. I had to figure out which one lived on Commercial Street and threw the bottle.
I found an Earl Willard listed in Bellingham city directories (which were like phone books before there were phones) between about 1905-1908 at various addresses. The trick was to match this Earl Willard with an Earl Willard in census records to find out more about him. Unfortunately, Earl did not appear to live in Bellingham at the times of the recording of the Federal Census in 1900 and 1910.
I needed to find an Earl Willard in a census record whose birth date made him an adult at the time of the bottle tossing in 1906. That would put the birth date in the 1880s ballpark. At first, an Earl Willard born in California caught my eye, since the article mentioned coming from San Francisco to Bellingham. But after some quick digging on him I didn't see a strong connection and went back to the drawing board.
b) The listing of other people with the Willard surname in directories that proved to be related.
In particular, I noticed in the directories an individual named Leo Willard who at one point shared an address with Earl. This suggested they were potentially somehow related. According to the directories, Leo and Earl lived in various locations including Commercial Street, and worked for nearby businesses including Thiel & Welter and B&B Furniture Company.
I was able to discern from census, death and marriage records that Leo and Earl were brothers, and that their father, William C. Willard, and paternal grandmother, Arvilla Willard, were all living in the area as well. And so with this information, down the genealogy rabbit hole I went….
I found that Earl Willard was born 28 Aug 1888 (the year is debatable - give or take one or two) in Michigan to William C. Willard and Sarah Coffey. His older brother Leo was born around 1884. Earl and Leo's mother Sarah died in Michigan when they were very young. By 1904, Earl's brother Leo, his father and stepmother had moved to Bellingham, along with grandma Arvilla. Presumably Earl came too, but wasn't listed in directories. Earl's father and stepmother had two more children born in Bellingham.
So I knew that in 1906, when Earl Willard threw the bottle, he was en route home to Bellingham, where he lived. He was all of about 18. His whole family lived in the area including two wee little half siblings. Earl had worked various odd jobs in Bellingham, including as a laborer at the lumber mill, a teamster and "warehouseman" and clerk for Thiel & Welter/B&B Furniture.
In March of 1907, Earl married Lena T. Bruce in Bellingham, both were listed on the marriage certificate as being age 20. Lena was also born in Michigan. She had been living in Ferndale with her family according to the 1900 Federal Census.
Around 1910 Earl and Lena moved to Vancouver B.C., where they are listed in the 1911 Census of Canada on Granville Street, with Earl working as an electrician. By 1917 the couple was in Seattle. The marriage apparently dissolved sometime after 1920. Lena went on to remarry several times. Earl Willard moved to Los Angeles by 1930 and continued working as an electrician/contractor. At around age 47 he remarried to Mae Anna (Elkey) Bunker. As far as I can tell Earl never had any children of his own.
Earl died in Los Angeles in 1948, he was only 59. Wife #2 Mae was 60 at the time of her death. His brother Leo died at 56, in Portland, two divorces, no apparent children. These little details maybe points to the idea that Earl Willard was perhaps in with a bit of a "hard living" crowd... or something. The youngish ages at death suggest to me perhaps drinkers/smokers, poor nutrition, or just generally a hard life or something along those lines. Of course I say this very tentatively since there is no way to really know all that much about a person from just looking at census, death and marriage records.
Now that I had a life timeline on Earl Willard, I contacted Steve Thurber—the man who found the bottle—and shared the information with him. In turn, Steve mentioned me to Herald reporter Jim Donaldson who was covering the story. Several other researchers had also picked up the challenge of playing "who's Earl" and our findings corroborated each other.
I'd love to know more about what kind of a person Earl was. What was his motivation for tossing the message in the bottle? To me the real gem is having some kind of personal account or writing - the likes of which Steve Thurber perhaps has in the bottle... if it can be salvaged and read I think it would be very interesting!
I often do this kind of research in connection with historic buildings, researching the people who occupied a house or maybe operated a business, in order to tell the chronological story of the place. Mostly the families I research are a few generations removed, and I don't usually go into detail on recent/living occupants. But if I can find living children who grew up in a house, I do make an effort to contact them. Many people are happy to talk, but not all. If I'm really lucky I get someone who is very excited and wants to exchange information, and the real goldmine – photos!
In my experience, most people are excited to be contacted with something like this, but occasionally people get a little perturbed when you come at them with all this information about their family. I have come across some people who felt like I was invading their family's privacy, and wondered why on earth anyone would want to know all this stuff about people not related to them personally. Although the information I find is available to the public, it does take some work to track down all the information and some wonder why anyone would go through the effort.
I personally go through the effort because I feel more connected to my community the more I know about all the historic places and the families who lived here and helped shape the city Bellingham is today. This includes finding some skeletons in the proverbial closet of local history that some people would rather not remember… Which is why I love working with the Good Time Girls! We like to spotlight people and events that although were an important part of our past, have often been overlooked or swept into the closet.
From the records available, Earl Willard does not appear to have had any children, nor does his brother Leo. However, their half-brother Clarence Willard (who was born in Bellingham in 1904) married Lola Belle Landreth, and they had children who still live in the area. I passed some of these names on to Steve Thurber and Jim Donaldson.
Maybe some photographs or anecdotes about "Uncle Earl" will surface. Maybe Steve Thurber will get some archivist to help open the bottle and read the note inside. These types of things help flesh out the names and dates and such to bring the person to life, even though they are long gone. And part of me actually hopes Earl knows we found his message.

According to Verizon's report, State of the Market: Internet of things 2017, the global internet of things (IoT) platform market is set to explode by 35% per year, reaching an impressive $1,6-billion by 2020. IoT.nxt has spoken of the exponential growth curve ahead for industrial applications of IoT, and has noted that enterprises the world over are fast including IoT in their company strategies.
This ties in perfectly with IoT.nxt's industry experience, both in South Africa and abroad.
The best gauge as to understand business decision-makers and their readiness for IoT deployment, is in actual interactions with executives across all industries.Chief Sales Officer of IoT.nxt Andre Strauss said earlier this week that big business has accepted that IoT needs to be part of their digital transformation roadmap. And it has happened fast.
Of course, there have been obstacles to mass deployment. According to the Verizon report, standards, security and interoperability make up at least 50% of business concerns around IoT deployment. This certainly speaks to the same obstacle Jim Fletcher, of IBM Watson, highlighted about legacy systems and a difficulty with true interoperability. This has seen many executives lean toward simple use cases within particular segments of their enterprises, to track data and send status alerts.
According to Steyn, correctly designed and engineered edge technology enables edge interoperability and, more importantly, the ability to retrofit into legacy systems. This forms the core of IoT.nxt's solution to the problems many others in the IIoT industry are grappling with.

Home prices in China's urban housing markets were mixed at the city level last month, according to official data released on Tuesday.
Nationwide, prices of both new and pre-occupied homes in all tiered cities rose at a mild pace from a month earlier, as policies to either cool speculation or promote healthy development of the industry remained consistent, according to the National Bureau of Statistics, which monitors home prices in 70 major cities around the country.
New home prices in the four first-tier cities climbed an average 0.2 percent, easing from 0.3 percent growth in February. Prices gained 0.4 percent and 0.8 percent in Beijing and Guangzhou, and lost 0.1 percent and 0.3 percent, respectively, in Shanghai and Shenzhen.
In the existing housing market, prices in the four cities edged up 0.3 percent month on month, compared with a 0.1 percent increase in February. They were up 0.4 percent, 0.3 percent and 0.7 percent in Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen, and shed 0.5 percent in Guangzhou, according to the bureau.
In 31 second-tier cities, new home prices rose an average 0.6 percent last month, compared with 0.7 percent in February. Prices of existing homes jumped 1.2 percent, compared with a 0.2 percent slip in February.
New home prices in 35 third-tier cities advanced 0.7 percent on average last month, accelerating from 0.4 percent growth in February. In the pre-occupied housing market, prices gained by an average 0.5 percent, compared with a 0.2 percent rise in February.
Countrywide, new home prices in Dandong, in northern Liaoning Province, registered the biggest month-on-month increase of 1.9 percent, the bureau's data showed.
On a year-on-year basis, prices of new homes in all-tiered cities also increased in March. They climbed 4.2 percent, 12.2 percent and 11.4 percent, respectively, in first, second and third-tier cities. In the pre-occupied residential market, they climbed 0.5 percent, 8.2 percent and 8.4 percent from the same period a year ago, the bureau said.

The latest code that I've worked on is for an upcoming work project, in which I needed to make some diagonal edges for content containers. The page layout is separated into rows – much like many current web designs – and the designer defined that some rows may be enhanced by a diagonal "up-thrust" on the right-hand side. The screenshot at the top of the page shows you what I mean.
The centre "column" – <div class="inner"> – is set to a max-width of 768px for the sake of this example. Once the browser is wider than 768px, then the red "row" receives a diagonal lifting edge on its right-hand side. Anchored at the junction of the right-hand side of the centre column and the top of the red row, it slopes upwards – infinitely – at a fixed angle of 4°. This means that no matter how wide the browser window is, the angle remains the same. Given that the content will always be at least a couple of paragraphs tall, there's no issue with overlapping that I can measure.
So: how do we achieve this? By adding an block-level, absolutely-positioned CSS pseudo element using .inner:after. We used to need to add an actual DIV to the markup, but not any more. Since CSS 2, we can use pseudo elements, created directly in CSS, to achieve the same goal, then use CSS transformations to rotate it. Change the colour of the pseudo element to yellow, and you'll see the result.
The next problem to deal with is that the (currently yellow) element exceeds the width of the page by some way: it needs to be at least 1300px or so wide for the largest monitors on the market. As you can see in the screenshot, this means that it sticks out of the right-hand side of the page. A simple max-width: 100% and overflow-x: hidden on the overall content wrapper – to hide everything outside the horizontal bounds – does the trick. Then inherit the background-color of .inner and you'll get the result you're looking for.

Sea of Thieves update news, DLC, patch notes and more
By Techodom Stuff / April 9, 2019 April 9, 2019 / Smart Phones
Swashbuckling has come back in a big way with Rare's sandbox multiplayer pirate adventure, Sea of Thieves. Since first hitting Xbox One and PC in March 2018, the developer has been working on a host of post-launch patches and free DLC – with more staff working on the title now than in the run-up to its original release – and the seafaring title continues to attract more players by offering continual improvements and additional content to the game's community.
According to Rare, within the game's first year, Sea of Thieves players collected and cashed in almost 750 million chests, skulls and items of cargo to amass a collective fortune of 642 billion gold.
As an open-ended online service game, there's plenty more to come. To help you keep on top of what's new and what's coming up, we've put together this handy page which will be updated with all the latest announcements.
Sea of Thieves: the TechRadar verdict
Sea of Thieves is an excellent multiplayer adventure with an incredible amount of potential. It's an anecdote factory that gives players the freedom to craft their own stories:
Excellent multiplayer adventure
Refreshing reputation system
Engaging storytelling
Not as fun solo
Novelty can wear off quickly
Combat can be stiff
As we said in our full Sea of Thieves review:
"Sea of Thieves is still in its early days, but I think it's off to an extremely strong start. It's clear that the developers are willing to listen to the players, and I expect we'll see a great many interesting additions to the game in the coming months.
"It's worth saying, though, that the game will need these additions – your friends can only add so much variety to a Gold Hoarders' quest before everyone grows weary. As long as Rare is willing to add to this playground, I expect players will be happy to play in it. "
Sea of Thieves update news and patch notes
What's new? The Sea of Thieves Anniversary Update rolls out on April 30
To celebrate Sea of Thieves' one year anniversary, Rare has announced it is rolling out the game's biggest content update to date.
The Sea of Thieves Anniversary Update will add three key new features: The Arena, The Hunter's Call and Tall Tales.
The Arena is a new PvP competitive game mode that sees crews going head-to-head to collect the most loot. Meanwhile, the Hunter's Call is a new Trading Company that gives you more ways to play and progress towards Pirate Legend.
However, arguably the most exciting new feature is Tall Tales – a collection of story-rich quests that are played out in Sea of Thieves' shared world and can be fully experienced by yourself or with your crew. The first collection of Tall Tales will be the Shores of Gold.
Check out the Anniversary Update trailer below:
In addition, Rare is treating players to a host of celebratory rewards such as new Mercenary Voyages, a new Reaper's Run Voyage, Commendations and cosmetics. There's also a special Gilded Mercenary Voyage of Legends for Pirate Legends.
Not enough for you? There's a bunch of special rewards for those who played during the first year such as Captain Bones' Original Pirate Cutlass. While any player who attained Pirate Legend status during the first year will receive a Golden Legendary Tankard, a Golden Legendary Hurdy-Gurdy, a Golden Legendary Blunderbuss and Golden Legendary ship customisations including a Sail, Hull and Figurehead.
How to play Sea of Thieves
Sea of Thieves is now available on PC and Xbox One. It's possible to purchase the game outright, but you can also pick up an Xbox Game Pass subscription where the entire game is included.
If you're not sure whether Sea of Thieves is for you, picking up a Game Pass trial for free and playing the game for a short time through it is a good way to find out.
The game is not a port for PC or Xbox, it works equally on both and supports cross-play. While the console version has locked frame rates of 30fps, the PC version's are unlocked. Mouse, keyboard and controllers are all supported across console and PC.

Diners and drinkers can choose to sit inside or outside—though if you're here strictly for the beer, embrace the beer garden ambience on the patio (it's dog-friendly!). The beer menu is a who's-who of local breweries—Smog City, Ohana, King Harbor and Golden Road all made the cut—along with stellar nationwide brews. Dishes range from burgers to pizza to creamy mac and cheese. You know, comfort food at its finest.
