You’ll Be A Craft Beer Expert After Reading This

By Elise Cullen
31st Jan 2019

There’s a lot to learn when it comes to craft beer and sure, you might know a bottle of Young Henry’s from a Little Creatures, but do you know your pilsner from your pale ale? Your snifter from your stein?

We've all had that feeling standing a little too long in the cool room, stumped on picking not only a beer we'll like, but why we like it and what occasion (read: meal) it's best suited for. That's why we’ve teamed up with BWS to bring you all the brew know-how to impress your mates when your shout rolls around and so your next craft beer purchase is a no-brainer.

What is Craft Beer?

So, let’s start with the basics: the difference between beer and craft beer. Although there is no definitive definition, craft beer is usually produced in small batches at ‘micro’ breweries and is made from quality, local ingredients. New flavour combinations and hybrids are popping up faster than you can say 'cheers' and the taste of craft beer goes way beyond just a ‘beer-y’ taste. Depending on the type of beer, the fermentation process and the flavour enhancements, craft beers can be described as sweet, bitter, spicy, fruity, nutty, earthy, chocolatey, spicy, sour, malty—and everything in between.

Similarly to wine, craft beer is less about binge drinking and more about the overall beer experience—think a move from cellar doors to tasting breweries. As of June 2018, there were a total of 547 independent breweries in Australia and that number is on the rise, especially because of the demand for craft beers catering to speciality dietary needs and requirements, such as gluten-free or low carbohydrate. Everyone can be a beer drinker.

Tina Panoutsos, who is the Head Of Beer Knowledge at Carlton Breweries, says if the Australian craft beer industry is one thing, it's diverse: “The quality and consistency of craft beer continues to improve and although consumers may be spoilt for choice, we need to improve the way we communicate the differences between varieties and how the occasion or drinker's interests goes into making a selection.” So, let's break it down further.

When And Why Should You Drink A Particular Type?

There are four main and essential ingredients found in craft beer: yeast, malt, hops and water, and they each play a different role. But it's the varying fermentation process and the unique flavours and fruits added that dramatically alter and affect the overall taste, as well as the region where the craft beer is produced.

Everyone has different tastes, so, frankly, craft beer is about the drinker and not necessarily the beer. Consider craft beer like a fine wine; it’s full of body and complex flavours, and just like a shiraz versus a pinot, there are vast differences. The most common types of beers poured, bottled and enjoyed around Australia include Pale Ale, Pacific Ale, IPA, Double IPA and Stout. Pick your favourite and let’s begin.

Pacific Ale

Golden and slightly cloudy in appearance, the Pacific Ale is often regarded as a great Australian summer craft beer. Boasting big hoppy aromas, a Pacific Ale has notes of tropical fruits and a fresh finish. There are a variety of different hops used when creating craft beer and Australian Galaxy hops are used in a Pacific Ale. Internationally recognised for its particularly citrusy flavour, Galaxy hops, combined with additional flavours, give this ale its desired fruity finish. Summery dishes like fresh seafood or crispy fish and chips are wonderfully paired with a fruity ale.

Our Pick: 4 Pines Pacific Ale or Wild Yak Pacific Ale

Pale Ale

If you’ve ever uttered the words: “I can’t find a craft beer I like,” then a Pale Ale is a great place to start. Generally light and golden in appearance, one might consider Pale Ales as the entryway to craft beer drinking. Often described as fruity and hop driven, a Pale Ale is made for easy drinking and can be paired with almost any kind of food. If you’re out and about with your mates or stumped as to what beer to bring to dinner, a Pale Ale is your go-to. Lighter meat dishes, like chicken, or Italian-style cuisines (think: pizza and antipasto platters), is when a Pale Ale truly shines.

Our Pick: Fat Yak Pale Ale

A widely-popular beer across Australia, the Indian Pale Ale (IPA) is known and celebrated for its bitterness. The increased amount of hops used when producing the beer gives it a slightly more bitter finish when compared to other types of beer—and the results are delicious. But IPAs aren’t necessarily for everyone; just like how people develop their taste buds over time, bitterness can be enjoyed by a more refined palate. If you’re new to the world of craft beer or a little craft beer-curious, you might want to kick things off with a Pale Ale and ease into an IPA.

When it comes to food, the bitterness of an IPA has a slightly cooling effect. So if you’re tucking into rich, salty and even caramelised foods like fried chicken, sticky pork and spicy Asian dishes, an IPA delivers a real flavour rollercoaster.

Our Pick: Goose Island IPA or Balter IPA

Double IPA

If an IPA is for the more seasoned craft beer drinkers then you guessed it, a Double IPA, also known as an Imperial IPA, is for the true craft beer enthusiasts. Higher in alcohol percentage (generally between seven to ten per cent) and packaged in a bigger bottle or can, you can expect robust flavours and a hefty hop profile. Often described as intense, a Double IPA needs a big flavoursome dish to confront the strong aromas and flavours, so forget the light salad and team a Double IPA with spicy chicken wings, sharp, aged cheese or saucy ribs.

Our Pick: Pirate Life Double IPA or Balter Double IPA

When you think of a Stout, a thick, wintery Guinness often springs to mind—but the Australian craft beer industry has come a long way over the past few decades and is producing some diverse and experimental craft Stouts worth trying. Dark in appearance with a creamy and sometimes thick mouthfeel, this beer is perfect for the chillier seasons with its full-bodied and rich flavours. Made with dark roasted malts, a Stout can encompass notes of chocolate, milk, caramel and coffee.

Sometimes considered a meal in itself, you wouldn’t want to go to heavy with your food pairing; it’s all about compare and contrast. The creamy mouthfeel accentuates the silkiness of oysters and fresh fruity desserts pair perfectly with a chocolatey Stout.

Our Pick: 4 Pines Stout or Batch Brewing Co.'s Elsie The Milk Stout

Feel ready for a blind tasting? Next time you're with your mates and have a swig of craft beer, close your eyes and try to describe the aromas, taste and how it feels in your mouth. Make a game of it and whoever's wrong, has to buy the next round.

Ready To Pour?

So you've purchased your six-pack and you're ready to pour. Let's face it—craft beer is tastier and more enjoyable in the right glass.

Aside from some Stouts, Barrel-Aged Beers and Vintage Ales, craft beer is best consumed fresh, so when you’ve cracked a cold one and found the right glass don’t wait. “On a whole, the fresher the beer the better the flavour,” Panoutsos says. “Look after the beer too, remember to keep it in a cool environment out of direct sunlight and pour it into a clean, appropriate glass.”

According to Trevor Harris, who is a certified beer judge under the BJCP, the appropriate glassware subtly changes the taste of a beer, and goes far beyond being decorative. “The right type of glass to drink champagne out of is a flute and it’s very similar with beer; it’s all about the sensation, which includes the aroma, mouthfeel and the bouquet.”

If you like an aromatic craft beer, like an IPA, Harris suggests a bulbous glass like a snifter or a tulip to keep the aroma inside the glass. There are IPA glasses out there but in the absence of one, a tulip glass, with a round belly and curved lip, allows you to take in all the fruity aromas as you gulp it down. If you’re going to drink a really light and flavoursome beer, like a German Pilsner, he recommends a tall, tube-like glass (often referred to as a pilsner glass) so you can “appreciate the colour.”

Easy drinking beers, like a Pale Ale of a Pacific Ale can be enjoyed from pub glasses, like a pint or a schooner but when it comes to your darker ales, like a Double IPA or a Stout, snifter and stout glasses are your go-to. These type of glasses ignite your senses and allow you to experience the beer in its entirety. “You first start a meal with your eyes,” Harris says. “The same applies to beer.”

If you've been arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol in the state of California, it's natural to experience some degree of panic. After all, the penalties for this crime are potentially quite severe, and you may feel a significant amount of remorse regarding your actions. However, instead of becoming overwhelmed by the situation, the best thing that you can do when you've been slapped with a DUI is to find legal representation that can help you come away from the incident with the least possible penalties.

Our litigators are tactful and reserved by default, and they represent the details of the case objectively and calmly to ensure everyone present in the courtroom of their respect for the legal process. When the situation calls for it, however, they spring into action and represent their clients in an animated and spirited manner.

The Client Always Comes First

Here at Vista DUI Attorney Law Firm, we are committed to making sure that each client ends up with a courtroom experience that exceeds their expectations.

If you're not satisfied with the services that we provide, we always offer opportunities to hear your position and make things right.

Understanding legal theory is one thing, but actually defending a client's interests in the courtroom is another thing altogether. All of the members of our litigation team here at Vista DUI Attorney Law Firm have received excellent educations to help them better understand the law surrounding DUIs and related offenses, but they've also honed their skills in actual courtroom environments dozens of times. Book learning prepares you to deliver the defenses that you'll eventually use when the time comes to explain to a judge why your client deserves minimal sentencing, but real-life experience is the only thing that will allow you to stay on your toes and respond to any type of situation that the courtroom might throw at you.

Our litigators have invested endless hours of their lives into perfecting their ability to respond proactively to unexpected circumstances in court settings, and they know the best ways to behave in front of judges to represent you in a calm and confident manner.

Sweat and saliva aren't big requirements in white-ball cricket feels Jaydev Unadkat

     New Delhi, May 3 (PTI) There is a raging debate on whether the use of sweat and saliva should be banned once cricket resumes after the COVID-19 pandemic but seamer Jaydev Unadkat feels that these components won't make much of a difference with white ball.
     Unadkat, who has played 7 ODIs and 10 T20 Internationals for India, is a sought-after name in the IPL and plies his trade for Rajasthan Royals.
     "I think white ball won't be a problem as a whole. Even in ODIs, you will be using two new balls 25 overs each. Reverse swing has never been a big factor in white-ball cricket. Even the new ball doesn't require any sweat or saliva as far as white ball is concerned," Unadkat told PTI during an interaction.
     The Ranji Trophy-winning Saurashtra captain said the reason behind that is that the quote of white lacquer requires little or no sweat or saliva for swing.
     "White lacquer remains shiny even if you just rub it on your trousers while for red ball, the red lacquer and the red leather demands that we shine it more with saliva and sweat," the left-arm seamer said.
     That's the reason, he feels, that in limited over contests, it will be a lesser risk for bowlers and can be started before one gets to the Test and first-class games.
     "If we are starting with white-ball contests, we will surely have an advantage as saliva and sweat are as big a factor as it could be in red-ball cricket."
     Even for red-ball cricket, Unadkat feels that precautions will be necessary only if cricket starts before the pandemic have subsided completely.
     "If we start closed doors, then probably certain precautions will be mandatory."
     Unadkat says that a prolonged break also means that he will be on even keel with some of the other bowlers who would be vying for their places in the Indian team for the World T20.
     In fact, had the IPL started on March 29, Unadkat would have barely got three weeks rest after a gruelling domestic season where he carried the burden of Saurashtra bowling.
     "To be honest, the big break evens out a lot of things as far as team selection is concerned. A lot will depend on can carry the form through the break and who can can come out sooner.
     "You can't really judge now as you dont know how big the break will be. Even if I don't get match time sooner, if we get practice time sooner, it won't take much time to get back the rhythm."
     While remaining fit has been a requirement, Unadkat has taken time out to pursue another vocation, which is learning guitar.
     It was his fiancee Rinny who encouraged him to take up online guitar classes along with her.
     "I had done a a few classes in the past but then lost touch a couple of years back. Luckily my fiancee is also a guitar fan and has taken lessons in the past and both of of us decided to enrol for online classes.
     "Two notations that I am currently trying to pick up are Ben King's Stand By Me and John Legend's All of Me are some tunes that I am picking up. Still a little difficult," Unadkat said.
     While the fingers strum the strings of guitar, they also want to feel the seam of five and half ounce of hard cherry.
     "Now, after more than one month, I am missing being out there on the field and at the same time I know that we have not experienced anything like this before. I think we have to support each other as we go through this." PTI KHS KHS AH

Legendary hip-hop innovator and Grammy award winner Q-Tip is teaming up with current Wolf Of Wall Street co-stars, multi-Oscar nominee Leonardo DiCaprio and Oscar-nominee Jonah Hill, through DiCaprio’s production company Appian Way, to develop and create a new scripted TV series that is loosely based on Q-Tip’s experiences during the Native Tongue era. What I would give to have that era back though but I digress.

Jonah Hill is looking to direct the pilot of the dramatic series which will be loosely based on the community and the collective that was A Tribe Called Quest, whom Q-Tip was a founding member, and their experience and friendship during the Native Tongue era in the late 80s and early 1990s with other hip-hop artists. And incase y’all don’t know, Jonah Hill is a big hip hop connoisseur so recognize that man. The show will reflect on the stories of how their music played a part in the culture then and influenced the music of today. Who knows, this may just give way for another Native Tongue project. Watch out people.

I created this resource page to list recommended services, products, and companies that I use and love for everything from decluttering to simplifying motherhood to homeschooling to blogging.

This way you can find everything I love and recommend, all in one place!

The Best Books to Start Decluttering

I don’t believe you need a crazy expensive course to declutter (although the accountability offered in the often accompany facebook groups does help). I offer a ton of free content on this blog to help you through the decluttering process, but here are a few of my favorite, comprehensive decluttering guides to get it all in one place.

Resources to Simplify Mom Life

Capsule Pantry Blueprint {Meal Planning Course}

Meal planning is a huge source of overwhelm for moms! Capsule Pantry Blueprint by my friend Elisa at Meal Planning Blueprints walks you through how to declutter your pantry and streamline your meal planning, so you only need to do it four times a year. Woot!

Books to Help You Simplify Motherhood

Mom life is stressful and busy at times, but let’s take out the unnecessary stress and busyness, shall we?

These are my favorite books on how to slow down and simplify motherhood. I’ve reread them multiple times: they’re that good!

Grove Collaborative

I love, love, love minimizing shopping in every way. It’s one of my top recommendations on how to simplify motherhood.

Online shopping actually helps me spend less and only get what we actually need (shopping with multiple kids in tow doesn’t do that).

Grove Collaborative is one of the ways I do that! I purchase cleaning products and toiletries for our home through Grove and highly recommend you at least try them.

You can get 5 free items with your first purchase through my referral link HERE.

Relaxed Homeschooling Resources

Homeschooling as a Lifestyle Course

I absolutely love homeschooling and cannot imagine sending my kiddos to traditional school!

But when you first start homeschooling, you start with what most moms know: “real” school. If you try to replicate school at home though, it often doesn’t work out so well. It can lead to burned out, overwhelmed, stressed homeschool moms.

Enter relaxed homeschooling or “Homeschooling as a Lifestyle” as my friend Chantel at Intentional Homeschooling calls it.

A former teacher, Chantel created The Homeschooling As a Lifestyle Workshop specifically to introduce other homeschool moms to the concept of homeschooling as a lifestyle, because for most of us? It’s not very intuitive.

It takes a LOT of redefining a “good education” and what school is really for, anyway.

She walks you through what “school” looks like in their home and offers concrete examples for anyone looking to move into relaxed homeschooling.

benefits of homeschooling as a lifestyle

The Writer’s Jungle (Brave Writer Approach to Writing)

Brave Writer is an awesome resource for moms who want their kids to become natural and passionate writers (not the stilted, academic writers that traditional schools tend to turn out – I was one of them and had to relearn organic, natural writing when I started this blog).

Founder Julie Bogart, veteran homeschooling mom of 5 graduated and successful homeschoolers, offers so much wisdom and advice for free on her podcast. She also offers paid products to help moms who want step-by-step help implementing the Brave Writer lifestyle.

My favorite resource from Brave Writer is The Writer’s Jungle. It basically details Julie’s approach to teaching writing. It’s NOT a step-by-step guide, but more the overall philosophy.

It’s the only Brave Writer product I’ve purchased, and so far, it’s been all I’ve needed.

The Writer’s Jungle

Homeschool Resources We Use & Love

Just because we’re relaxed homeschoolers doesn’t mean we don’t use curriculum or books. Here are our staples, the things I keep coming back to.

Blogging Resources

While I have purchased a few expensive blogging courses, I don’t believe you need them to have a successful, income generating blog. Blogging does take an initial investment, but it’s so small and relatively risk-free compared to starting a brick and mortar business.

Below, I share two posts that tell you how to start a blog and the most affordable blogging courses I took as a beginner on a budget that I highly recommend! I’m also sharing a link to a series of blog income reports I wrote last year to chronicle my journey from $200 a month income to $1,000 a month income, which I hope inspires you that earning money blogging is possible.

Have you heard you can make money with a mom blog, but don't see how? Get answers to all your questions in this post!

Expensive blogging courses you can't afford getting you down? These are hands down the BEST blogging courses you can buy that are actually affordable (less than $100 each - some as low as $20!).

    As a lifelong Thornbury boy and lead reporter for the Thornbury Gazette, I like to think I have the finger on the pulse of what goes on in our community to bring you the headlines hot off the press.

    I became a reporter a little later than most in the profession. I left Castle School to pursue a career in Mathematics, but after University, I felt my calling was still waiting out there, so I eventually went back to study journalism.

    I've had experience in a range of newsrooms, from BBC and ITV to the Bath Chronicle and our very own Gazette.   I live for local news and I'm always off trying to unearth more!

    You can catch me on GLOSS FM towards the end of the week, giving us the latest updates on life in Thornbury and plenty of food for thought ready for the rest of our presenters to discuss.

Why 'South Park' Has Surpassed 'The Simpsons'

Comedy Central
Comedy Central

We need to have a serious talk about cartoons.

It is long established by consensus that The Simpsons is the greatest animated TV comedy of all time -- and from roughly 1990 to 1997, this is inarguable. But in the subsequent 20 years, the groundbreaking genre of the animated sitcom has experimented and evolved, and is now something entirely different, for better or worse.

For me, it's the latter: animated sitcoms are much better now than they were two decades ago. But this could be said of many genres. What is also true is that The Simpsons only gets interesting these days when it taps the mojo of outsiders.

This brings us to South Park, which just entered its 20th season. Quickly after premiering on Comedy Central in 1997 -- coincidently, around the same time The Simpsons began to drift away from its sitcom-with-a-twist roots -- South Park gave a generation with an insatiable hunger for fresh catchphrases such zingers as "Respect mah authoritah" and "Oh my God, they killed Kenny! You bastards!" while simultaneously prompting panic among the culturally prudish, just as Bart Simpson and crew had previously done with T-shirt-ready adages like "Eat my shorts!" and "Don't have a cow, man!" Like The Simpsons, which enters its 28th season on September 25th, South Park outlasted the hoopla that surrounded its rise to prominence. Unlike The Simpsons, however, South Park remains brilliant.

The 20th anniversary of Matt Stone and Trey Parker's satirical cartoon show presents me with an opportunity to present this argument: if South Park has been at least pretty good for twice as long as The Simpsons was great, doesn't that make South Park an overall superior program? And if South Park is better than The Simpsons, doesn't it logically follow that South Park is now the greatest animated comedy of all time?

The South Park-Simpsons rivalry is alive and aggro on the internet. Stone and Parker even confronted the issue in the notorious Season 10 two-parter "Cartoon Wars." But I'm ready to deliver my punch. And I'm not just a contrarian South Park devotee; I have actual, honest-to-gosh math to support my theory. Here's why South Park stands above the presumed champion.

Comedy Central
Comedy Central

South Park vs. Springfield, by the numbers

Tally up the Metacritic user scores for each of South Park's existing 19 seasons, then do the same for all 27 already-aired batches of The Simpsons. The resulting averages bode poorly for Matt Groening's nuclear family. South Park scores a solid 8.68 season average, humiliating The Simpsons, which barely musters a C+ at 7.84. The gap grows even wider when we yoink data from Rotten Tomatoes: South Park collectively scores a 90% fresh, next to The Simpsons' 75%.

The metrics aren't perfect. At least 20 new Simpsons episodes have aired every year since 1990. Meanwhile, no South Park season has ever surpassed 17 eps, and the creators have kept themselves to a tight 10 per year since 2013. Thus, Simpsons is about to crack 600 episodes, while Cartman and the gang won't quite breach 300 for a few more years.

Per-episode averages wouldn't be significantly different from the aforementioned per-season averages, but arguably, The Simpsons' network-mandated need to spread good ideas out twice as thin gives South Park an unfair advantage.

What about the other cartoon staples?

If we judge solely by numbers on review aggregator sites, we could hypothetically make the same case for any cartoon show that never shifted gears like The Simpsons. But those other programs lack either a sufficient sample size (Rick and Morty, Bob's Burgers) or comparable cultural impact (King of the Hill, Futurama, pretty much everything on Adult Swim), or the show is Family Guy. And if you think Family Guy belongs in the same stratum as Simpsons or South Park, please watch the second half of "Cartoon Wars."

The Simpsons will always be the Mr. Burns of animation

The Simpsons squashes South Park in what may be both the most and least important metric: cold hard cash. According to the latest estimates from Statistic Brain, South Park in syndication yanks down $25 million in annual advertising revenue, compared to the more than $5 billion The Simpsons pulls on primetime broadcasts alone. The Simpsons Movie did almost $530 million at the box office; the gleefully R-rated South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut racked up $83 million in ticket stubs.

By the same criteria, the notable success of Two and a Half Men bests the shameful failure of Arrested Development. Money isn't everything. But the fact that Bart Simpson's loose change could pay to have South Park canceled can't be overlooked.

Scott Tenorman vs. the Monorail

Though referential and easy to swallow in its current iteration, The Simpsons' high points are a notch or two above South Park's zenith -- or so the internet insists.

Time and Rolling Stone both declare "Marge vs. the Monorail" the best episode of The Simpsons, and for the sake of sparing ourselves an argument that could drag on for months, let's pretend to agree with them. The Season 4 tentpole offers 23 minutes of back-to-back-to-back gags written by bona fide comedy master Conan O'Brien. That's about all it offers.

The single greatest South Park episode -- according to my own instinct, and vindicated by a handful of "best of" lists -- is the fifth season's "Scott Tenorman Must Die." Penned by Parker and directed by longtime collaborator Eric Stough, "Tenorman" stays light and silly until a whiplash-inducing tonal shift in the final minutes. The big reveal masterfully blends hilarity with existential dread, all while providing Radiohead a legitimate reason to be on the show. It's magical. And while "Monorail" trounces "Tenorman" in terms of chuckles per second, The Simpsons hasn't mustered anything as clever as the Shakespearean twist of Cartman's ghastly victory.

Rose-colored nostalgia glasses be damned. "Scott Tenorman Must Die" provides a better-rounded, more satisfying viewing experience than "Marge vs. the Monorail," and enhances the case to declare South Park the greatest adult-aimed cartoon of all time.

Maybe that sounds borderline blasphemous. But just wait. I betcha in 10 or 20 years, television historians will talk about the unquestioned sovereignty of The Simpsons the same way we talk about people who believed the sun revolved around the Earth.

Regaining life after prison a burden with new struggles

Recently, the Department of Corrections and Community Supervision Acting Commissioner Anthony Annucci accepted the donation of my new memoir "This Side of Freedom: Life after Clemency," to be placed in all 54 general libraries in New York state prisons.

Annucci and several members of his staff reviewed the book and concluded that it would be a useful resource and guide for general population inmates as they contemplate the challenges that lie ahead when they are released to the community.

In 1985, I was sentenced as a first-time nonviolent offender to 15 years-to-life under the Rockefeller Drug Laws. I served time at Sing Sing Correctional Facility in Ossining. It was there I became part of the prison labyrinth and spent the next 12 years, until I was granted executive clemency by Gov. George Pataki in 1997.

I went on to write my first memoir, "15 to Life: How I Painted my Way to Freedom," a story that captured my prison experience. Now, with my new offering, I talk about my 19 years of freedom and the struggle I have trying to re-enter society as a taxpaying, law-abiding citizen.

Formerly incarcerated people re-entering society face a daunting array of problems that prevent them from successfully reintegrating. These include not being able to find employment or secure housing, dealing with substance abuse and mental health problems, and difficulties in re-establishing and developing relationships.

On top of this, they also must face counterproductive and debilitating legal and practical barriers, including state and federal laws that hinder their ability to qualify for a job or get a higher education.

Because of this, many communities have struggled to handle the astonishing increase of people from prison. At the policy level, lawmakers are forced into questioning the Draconian drug policies of the past and are calling for solutions to ensure released prisoners can become productive members of society.

Millions of individuals have been sent to prison under the incarceration boom of the 1980s and '90s that was largely the result of Draconian drug sentencing laws. The "tough-on-crime" era coincided with massive cuts to prison programs.

I was lucky enough to receive three college degrees while I was incarcerated, including a master's from New York Theological Seminary. I prepared myself for my eventual release.

My book stresses the importance of gaining an education and taking advantage of existing rehabilitative programs while in prison.

More Information

Anthony Papa of New York City is the manager of media and artist relations for the Drug Policy Alliance.

I wanted to write a book about the struggle one faces when released from prison. When I came home, I soon realized that I did not leave behind my 12 years of hard time. When you leave prison, you are not free. You are still doing time, just doing it on the other side of the bars.

I soon found out that prison life was deeply rooted in my present existence, a decade of life in an environment where survival mechanisms and behaviors were hardwired into my daily existence. Being hardwired for survival was a good thing in prison, but in the free world it was another matter, especially when those mechanisms would surface suddenly and without warning. The tools that were once lifesaving had become a tremendous burden as I tried to get my life back together.

In prison, I was beat down, piped and stabbed, but nothing hurt me more than my separation from my daughter Stephanie, who I left at age 7. When I tried to reunite with her, she was 19 years old and found me to be a complete stranger. I struggled with the most mundane tasks and realized that my support base was gone and I was alone in a new world that had drastically changed without me.

No longer guided by the paternal benefits of institutional dependency, I found roadblocks at every level of existence.

For many, including myself, carrying the stigma of being an ex-offender is often debilitating. "This Side of Freedom: Life after Clemency," is a much-needed book that will help those incarcerated know what they will face when they are released, and also help those who are free understand the struggle the formerly incarcerated face as they try to regain their roles as productive citizens.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Day to evening dress This is a fabulous dress for just about any occasion. It is darling with sandals or heels. I love a dress that goes for day or evening. I travel to Ft. Lauderdale a lot and it is just the right dress to travel with and because it is linen a slight touch up may be needed but as millennials think "there is no need for ironing" just a bit of steam.

PS5's speedy user interface could be its secret weapon against Xbox Series X

(Image credit: Djordje Novakov)

The PS5 wants to the gaming equivalent of Netflix. Not in the sense of streaming games over the internet like Google Stadia (read our full Google Stadia review), but in terms of the ease and speed of using the popular video streaming service.

This is based on two recent pieces of news: one being a patent found on the USPTO's database detailing Sony's latest brainwave for improving user interface (UI) design, and the other being a ResetEra comment by Kotaku's Jason Schreier on how Sony is convincing developers to work on games for its new console.

First, the Sony patent. Initially spotted by PlayStation Universe, the application for "Dynamic interfaces for launching direct gameplay" outlines a series of templates for a PlayStation's main menu. These templates could be filled with game-specific options by developers that would allow players to skip into specific parts of the game instead of just booting up the game menu or resuming from the last point they were at.

For example, a single-player game could let you replay a certain chapter of the campaign, or let you see what current quests you have open and their potential rewards. For multiplayer games, this could be used to select a specific game type, or watch a match replay without fumbling through menus.

Schreier's short comment on gaming-centric forum ResetEra tells us that Sony is trying to sell game devs on the PS5  with comparisons to Netflix.

"One of the pitches they’ve been making to developers is 'playing a PS5 game should be as easy as Netflix,'" wrote Schreier in his post.

"They want to make players feel like they can load up the game immediately and know exactly how much time a given activity is going to take them. They want people to feel more inclined to play in short bursts rather than only wanting to turn on the console when they have a few hours to spare."

Taken together (assuming that the patent will be implemented on the PS5 and not a later console), these two pieces of information point to the new Sony console encouraging a new way to play games. It looks as if PlayStation is aiming instead to get people to "snack" on their games rather than binge, playing the exact part they want to and then swapping to another section via these menu templates.

Given that we know the PS5 won't be able to keep up with the Xbox Series X on a pure hardware power level, it'll be ideas like this that could help the PS5 keep PlayStation's dominance of the market. Prettier ray-traced graphics are all good, but cracking open a game into parts you can easily choose between could be far more useful to the majority of players.

School Fees and Your Budget

Jump straight to:

Scholarships and Bursaries
Most schools have a bursarial fund to help lower income families, and merit-based scholarships for high-achieving students.

Financial and Tax Planning
For those UK parents considering an outlay totalling more than £100,000 over their child’s lifetime attendance at private schools, we suggest a detailed analysis by Independent Financial Advisers using tax planning techniques which can sometimes save up to 50% of school fee liabilities

Your Budget and Minimising School Fees

Private education is getting increasingly expensive in the UK. Indeed over the last 10 years school fees have risen faster than the rate of UK inflation in every year.

Day prep fees can range from £10,000 to £20,000 or more in London and day fees for senior schools can range from £12,000 to £25,000 per annum. The average senior boarding fees are around £35,000 p.a. but some senior boarding schools are now exceeding £45,000 per annum. Indeed if you do want to board your child from age 7 or 8, you can easily be looking at a total cost exceeding £300,000, making your children’s education probably the second most expensive expenditure in your life.

Fees can vary dramatically between schools. School fees are linked to factors like a) Location (and the demand in that area), b) Academic track record (being near the top of the league tables creates more demand and increased prices) and c) Facilities.

Fees increase by age in a child’s life stage of education, so you should ensure you can afford the anticipated fee rises. Having to withdraw a child on cost grounds just as they are approaching a key exam stage can be a disaster.

One thing is certain – everyone wants to minimise their school fees, whether they can afford them or not. We have written a unique eGuide for our bespoke advice clients “How to reduce your school fees”.

With the introduction of Council Directive 2018/822 effective 25 May 2018 (thee so-called DAC6 Directive), the EU creates mandatory disclosure rules for intermediaries and taxpayers with respect to potentially aggressive cross-border tax planning arrangements. This new reporting obligation is expected to play a critical role in the relationship of (tax) advisors and their clients.

The main objectives of the new DAC6 directive are focused on automating the exchange of information in the field of taxation in relation to reported cross-border arrangements.

There will be a considerable scope of discretion for the Member States as to which of the remaining provisions of the Directive, and in what form, they will implement into the national legal order.

Due to some discretion in the implementation of the DAC6 Directive (which only specifies the minimum scope of implementation), Member States have adopted various approaches regarding details of its implementation. For example, the implementation of the DAC6 Directive into the Polish legal system covered a much wider scope of provisions than the minimum indicated in the Directive (reporting obligation in Poland covers not only cross-border schemes, but also national schemes, including those covering VAT).

We encourage you to read the reports of selected EU member states, having its representative companies in the Baker Tilly International network, which present the conditions and scope of the implementation of the DAC6 Directive into national legal systems.
