At first sight, this looks like the age old Cornwall / Devon debate, however I'm interested in the concept of adaptable thinking in the lifelong learning sector. What if, for example, you put half and half on each scone... What if you only had one topping, what if you had four... What if you made everyone a different version of toppings, according to their preferences #education #learnerneeds #innovate

Have you ever seen a dog’s reaction to the smell of alcohol? They’ll sniff and instantly recoil, as if thinking, "What the heck are you drinking that for?" It’s a raw, natural response to something that’s essentially poison for their bodies—and, frankly, for ours too. It’s funny because if you think back, our first reaction to alcohol probably wasn’t much different. That first sip? Bitter, sharp, and unpleasant. But we don’t start with straight spirits, do we? We usually start with the sweet stuff, the sugary cocktails or wine coolers that mask the burn with a heavy dose of sugar. Over time, we push through, getting used to the taste and convincing ourselves we actually like it. And let’s be real: clever marketing helps too, teaching us to "appreciate the botanicals" and other supposed subtleties in flavor. But at the end of the day, it’s still the same stuff your dog would turn their nose up at. Tomorrow is the first of October. If you’ve been waiting for a sign to get more of a handle on your relationship with alcohol, why not start now?

❔We often get asked “Why did you start an alcohol free brand?” Here’s why… 👀 17 years ago, our father passed away due to alcohol and although myself and my sister drink, we’ve always been conscious of over consumption and the negative impact it can have. House of Clarity is not an anti-alcohol brand, to be honest, we both love a sparkling glass of fizz when celebrating occasions with friends and family, however, when we were both pregnant, we became very aware of how alcohol free options were very limited and quite honestly, rubbish. This excluded us for many occasions, events, experiences and so on, making us think back to how our father must have felt when trying to quit alcohol all those years ago. We decided to try and test everything we could get our hands on, of what was in the global market and alcohol free. Now, we know that there are some terrible products out there that quite honestly don’t stand close to the quality that you would expect or want. This didn’t deter us, we decided to work alongside mixologists and sommeliers to find the best products that we could source internationally and put them all in one place for you. Tried & Tested! Taking away the risk of buying products that don’t meet your standards and ensuring that if and when you choose to opt out there are options available, at the spa, hotel, restaurant, music venues and where ever else you attend! We now work with hospitality venues across the country to ensure that the standards of AF beverages are improving day by day and month by month, for us this is an amazing achievement. We know we are not a solution for alcoholics, but who knows maybe we could be a preventative for future generations. If we can change the stigma around drinking alcohol making it easy to fluidly move between alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages during the same occasion without friends, families and social pressures influencing us and instead feel comfortable with simply choosing a beverage because it taste nice and makes us feel good, well then we’ve completely achieved what we set up to do. We can’t wait to see you more amazing major events this Summer and Autumn and if you haven’t already checked out our website www.houseofclarity.co.uk then please do. Here you’ll find our hand selected collections online, along with recipes, tasting notes and food pairing suggestions. 🥂 #alcoholawarenessmonth #alcoholfree #nonalcoholic #alcoholfreedrinks If you’re struggling with issues around alcoholism visit @nacoauk or @alcoholchangeuk https://lnkd.in/e_AMXsHk

Friends, beer is the nursery class of drugs. The journey of drugs starts from beer. Some people are running such companies in the name of organization. After giving some knowledge to new boys and girls 1-2 times, they make them understand that we all are members of one family. Then they take these boys and girls to the world of glamour, take them to beer bars and dance bars. And make them understand that along with work, fun and enjoyment is also important in life. Then these children become addicted to glamour. For those children who do not take drugs, these people repeatedly organize parties at such dirty places. Next time that child also becomes addicted to drugs. Earlier the slogan of these companies was (contact) that we all make contact with each other. And now the new slogan of these companies is (family) - that we all are one family.

Why aren’t these privileged fools getting the message? If only we could scream louder! Or maybe Trump will arrest them when he removes Mika Brzezinski, Joe Scarborough, and Rachel Maddow! After all, he hates alcohol and drugs. Of course so does Joe — just ask Hunter and his sister (likewise a rehab habituee). What IS my point? Bad rapping alcohol is like bad rapping porn. It ain’t going away, and most people find it fun (and even beneficial). [It’s Time to Talk About Pornography, Scholars Say: More adolescents than ever are watching it. What’s needed, researchers say, are frank conversations and “porn literacy.” https://lnkd.in/e5yffN_T As with alcohol, those who do worst with it are those who reject it utterly.] From Esquire: 2024 was a great year for spirits. Maybe that’s surprising; most of the news stories concerning booze lately have been about declining sales, after all. But many of the changes in the industry have been undeniably exciting and, even better, delicious. American whiskey is now being outsold by agave spirits here in the U.S., but there was certainly no shortage of fantastic new bourbon, rye, and American single malts, as well as new high-quality tequilas and mezcals. There was also some amazing Scotch, Irish whiskey, and other whiskeys from countries like Taiwan and Denmark hitting shelves. Rum is a category that has been touted as the next big thing for years.

The Papa Johns edible "Garlic Butter Candle" is an #InventionInPR Fail shared with me by Chris McMurry. What makes it a Fail? It was so frivolous, it barely earned coverage, and the few write-ups it received used phrases like "for reasons we cannot quite fathom," "reek with the stench" and likened it to a late April Fool's joke gone wrong. An Invention in PR needs a reason for existing. This one was pegged to National Garlic Day. Check. But a _good_ Invention in PR solves a problem. It can solve the problem in a ridiculous and celebratory way. That's fair game, and some of the best ones do. This one did it just to do it. A Type 2 RF that barely escaped the marketing trades before fizzling out. https://lnkd.in/eubCEQBx
