Makers of the world’s best-selling Cheese Advent Calendar roll out new Vegan Festive Cheeseboard

New Ilchester® Vegan Festive Selection features three brand new vegan cheeses alongside the award-winning Applewood Vegan

A stack of flyers on a tableDescription automatically generated A picture containing sitting, food, table, smallDescription automatically generated

The UK’s leading speciality cheese company and the makers of the world’s first and best-selling Cheese Advent Calendar is launching a Vegan Christmas Cheeseboard and is giving selected media a sneak peek at it, to get them salivating.

Norseland, which has won a number of awards for its Applewood Vegan cheese and is the brains behind the Ilchester® Cheese Advent Calendar (the UK’s first calendar of its type) , is launching the Ilchester® Vegan Festive Selection in response to a huge increase in the number of people becoming vegans and flexitarians* over the past 18 months.

The Ilchester® Vegan Festive Selection features three brand new vegan cheeses alongside its multi award-winning Applewood Vegan, the vegan version of the UK’s most popular smoky cheese Applewood. The new cheeses are:

➢ NEW – the Ilchester® Melting Mature Cheddar Vegan

➢ NEW – the Ilchester® Blue Vegan Cheese Alternative (with blue spirulina vein)

➢ NEW – the Mexicana® Vegan Spicy Cheese alternative

Norseland became the first major UK diary company to introduce a vegan cheese alternative with the launch of Applewood Vegan last October. It proved to be so popular with vegans – and flexitarians – when it launched, that 40% of the stores of the first major supermarket which stocked it sold out on the first day.

The Vegan Cheeseboard has an advantage over non-vegan cheeses at Christmas time because it has fewer calories, but still tastes as good – and some may say even better – as the traditional cheeseboard.

Lisa Harrison, Senior Brand Manager for the Ilchester® Vegan Festive Selection, said:

“”We are very proud of our fantastic tasting vegan cheeses: they taste, and melt, like traditional cheese. So, as the number of vegans in the UK are soaring – the Vegan Society says the number of vegans in the UK has quadrupled between 2006 and 2018 – we know that there is a huge demand for vegan cheese.

“But it isn’t just for vegans. Christmas is a time when people overindulge and huge amounts of saturated fat are eaten: in meat, cheese, cream – not to mention sugar! Swapping a traditional cheeseboard with a vegan cheese-board means that people can still have the taste of cheese in the festive period, but without raising their blood pressure, cholesterol, and salt levels still further.

“Our vegan cheeses are becoming increasingly popular with flexitarians as well as vegans – and we take this as the highest compliment.”

*Flexitarians are people who mostly eat a vegetarian diet but occasionally eat meat and fish.

Christmas Gift Guide 2020

After months of time away from loved ones during lockdown, it’s more important than ever to share family stories

StoryTerrace creates full-length biographies to help you and your loved ones reconnect after time apart

storyterrace.com/en-GB/

As lockdown comes to an end, and we start to resume aspects of our lives pre-pandemic – we look back on the past few months and reflect. The world came to a screeching halt, and millions were stuck at home – creating a globally-shared experience that will be discussed for generations to come. While we were at home, we desperately craved human interaction, as many of us were isolated from our loved ones.

Biography-writing service, StoryTerrace, is encouraging everyone to look inward at their own journey through COVID-19, and reach out to loved ones to listen to their experiences before, during and post-pandemic. By documenting and recording the stories of your loved one’s life, not only can you preserve their legacy, but you can achieve a better understanding of the person that you are in the world today through the people who helped shape you.

Storyterrace is a company that documents the life stories of every-day people by pairing them up with professional writers to curate full-length, beautifully crafted biographies to help you and your loved ones relive your life’s greatest experiences.

There are 3 options for StoryTerrace packages: Compact, Complete and Novella, with prices ranging from £1500 to £5250. To read more about pricing, as well as other services offered here.

Many of us have considered writing a biography – detailing the struggles we have overcome and successes we have worked hard to achieve, but ultimately decided against it. Why? The intrinsic feeling of not having an ‘extraordinary’ life to document. This is a personal barrier we all must overcome, because the backbone of our country is composed of the stories of unsung, everyday heroes – whose stories are no less extraordinary than the ones we read about in history books. StoryTerrace aims to document the epic tales of ordinary people across the nation, encouraging the sharing of stories that make up the fabric of British society.

Rutger Bruining, CEO and founder of StoryTerrace, discusses personal biographies and the people that bring them to life:

“StoryTerrace began with a simple idea – a biographer for every person. By matching ordinary people with these gifted professional writers, we’re ensuring that stories of the people that make up the fabric of our country will be preserved for generations. Each and every one of us has a story to tell and although many may doubt the value of documenting their life stories just for themselves, the gift of preserving family stories is invaluable.

Biographies are obviously about the storyteller, but their success ultimately comes down to how well the writer is able to connect with the subject and draw out the precious details of their stories. StoryTerrace writers are some of the most intuitive storytellers, and can truly capture the essence of their subjects.”

Come Again

By Robert Webb

Narrated by Olivia Colman

It’s been precisely 10,000 days since Kate met the most gorgeous man alive. The man she married. The man with whom she built a life. The man who died. Kate still sleeps with her husband’s T-shirt, but it doesn’t smell of Luke any more. She misses him every day.

One morning, Kate wakes up back at college. She’s 18 years old. She remembers everything. And she realises that this is the week that she will meet Luke for the first time. What if the man you lost could be found again?

But then, what if he doesn’t know he’s lost? And what if he’s still just a boy? The debut novel from Robert Webb, Come Again is a time-travelling romance about living in the moment, love before death and life before the internet.

The Tales of Beedle the Bard
By J K Rowling

Narrated by Warwick Davis, Noma Dumezweni, Jason Isaacs, Jude Law, Evanna Lynch, Sally Mortemore, Bonnie Wright

As familiar to Hogwarts students as “Cinderella” and “Sleeping Beauty” are to Muggle children, Beedle’s stories are a collection of popular fairy tales written for young witches and wizards. So, if you’re wondering what’s in store in this brand-new audio edition…well, your ears are in for a treat.

Once you’ve checked this fabulous Hogwarts Library book out, you’ll start by hearing the author’s introduction, read by Sally Mortemore (librarian Madam Pince from the Harry Potter films). Then it’s time for the tales to begin….

We’re told these five fables have been firm favourites in wizarding households for centuries, and now it’s your turn to experience these tales from the Wizarding World, as you’ve never heard them before.

Sherlock Holmes: The Definitive Collection

By Arthur Conan Doyle

Narrated by Stephen Fry

A lifelong fan of Doyle’s detective fiction, Fry has narrated the complete works of Sherlock Holmes – four novels and five collections of short stories. And, exclusively for Audible, Stephen has written and narrated nine insightful, intimate and deeply personal introductions to each title.

New York Times: “The pairing of Fry and Holmes is a bit of a marriage made in heaven.”

BuzzFeed: “Sherlock Holmes. Narrated by Stephen Fry. Need I say more? Honestly though, what a perfect way to get away from it all while you’re cooking dinner, commuting, or tidying up this weekend.”

The Sandman
By Neil Gaiman and Dirk Maggs

Narrated by Riz Ahmed, Kat Dennings, Taron Egerton, Neil Gaiman, James McAvoy, Samantha Morton, Bebe Neuwirth, Andy Serkis, Michael Sheen

Torn from his realm, The Sandman – Morpheus, the immortal king of dreams, stories and the imagination – was imprisoned on earth for decades. On escaping he must restore his power, descend into hell to face Lucifer, chase rogue nightmares, visit a serial killer convention and cross paths with characters from DC comic books, ancient myths, and real-world history.

Audible and DC present the first in a series of audio adaptations of Neil Gaiman’s best-selling graphic novels, adapted and directed by multi-award-winner Dirk Maggs, performed by an ensemble cast with James McAvoy in the title role, and accompanied by an original score by James Hannigan. As narrator, Neil Gaiman will lead you through this dark, literary world in a twisting fantasy journey of myth, imagination and terror.

Maurice

By E.M. Forster

Narrated by Ben Whishaw

Maurice by E.M. Forster is the story of a young man struggling with his sexuality at the beginning of the 20th century.

Written between 1913 and 1914, it was published over 50 years later, the author believing that due to public and legal attitudes to homosexuality, to publish it in his lifetime would signal an end to his career.

Maurice is now considered to be one of the most groundbreaking and significant novels of the LGBT+ canon, and in this brand-new recording Ben Whishaw (Mary Poppins Returns, Paddington, A Very English Scandal) gives an emotive and mesmerising performance.

Jane Eyre

By Charlotte Bronte

Following Jane from her childhood as an orphan in Northern England through her experience as a governess at Thornfield Hall, Charlotte Brontë’s Gothic classic is an early exploration of women’s independence in the mid-19th century and the pervasive societal challenges women had to endure.

AudioFile: “Narrator Thandie Newton gives a delightful performance of this beloved classic. She delivers the voice of Jane from childhood to adulthood with elegant conviction, breezing through the dense sentences as if they were part of a contemporary novel.”

SMALL MISTAKES, BIG CONSEQUENCES

FOR INTERVIEWS

HIGHLIGHTS THE MOST OFTEN MISTAKES MADE BY INTERVIEWEES

TEACHES THE 20 INTERVIEW SKILLS YOU NEED TO KNOW

Lehigh Valley, PA (May 20, 2020) Small Mistakes, Big Consequences for Interviews (Momosa Publishing LLC, ISBN 978-1-950459-00-1, September 1, 2020, $10.00) is the second book in the Small Mistakes, Big Consequences series.

Written by Anne Corley Baum, a well-known Lehigh Valley executive & vice president for Capital BlueCross, the book is a lighthearted look at the top 20 interviewing mistakes that people make without realizing the potential consequences. She also includes advice for the interviewer to assist them in selecting the best candidate for the position.

According to a 2013 survey from Harris Interactive and Everest College, as many as 92 percent of adults in the United States stress over one or more aspects of a job interview. Baum’s book simplifies the interview process and helps candidates hone their skills needed to get the job and walk in the door with more confidence.

Baum says she “wrote the book to inform readers how to avoid distracting behavior during an interview that will prevent them for obtaining the job.” She added, “her goal was to create short, insightful powerful points to highlight what not to during an interview and to show the interviewee how to present their best self.

She has spent years serving in leadership roles and teaching leadership to high potential employees on their way to the C Suite. She is a certified protocol and etiquette consultant and has run programs on perfecting your professional image, leadership and executive coaching, how to succeed in the international arena, and dining at the corporate table. She has also led programs for young adults including interviewing and job skills as well as etiquette and dining programs for children and teens.

In Small Mistakes, Big Consequences for Interviews

Readers will discover how to:

· Be perceived as sincere and trustworthy.

· Make a great first impression.

· Avoid common interview mistakes.

· Encourage others to meet the “real you.”

· Present your best, most professional self.

Baum states “first impressions take only a moment to form. In that short time, mistakes made can result in lost opportunities. Since perception is reality, it is important to make sure that from the first communication to the last moment of your interview your image is perceived as positive and professional.”

Fun Balancing Act for Players

in Endless Games New Dropsy Card Game

Matawan, NJ – (August 4, 2020) – Endless Games today announced the nationwide availability of its latest card game, Dropsy.

In this new game, all you have to do is get three of the same color. Sounds like a pretty simple card game, until Endless Games turned it into Dropsy, the game where players have to hold their cards in some unusual ways while trying to get their three-of-a-kind.

In Dropsy (MSRP $6.99 for 2 or more players 8+) players take turns drawing cards to try to get three of the same color. However, instead of discarding cards, players have to hold them in the manner directed on the card. Cards can command players to hold cards under their chins; on top of their heads; back of their hands; between their fingers; under their arms, and other odd positions. If a player “Dropsy” their cards, they have to start all over again trying to get the three-of-a-kind again.

The silly new game, designed by renowned game inventor, Howard Tarnoff, was originally conceived in 2004 under the title, “Don’t Drop Your Draws.” Brian Turtle, VP of Sales and Marketing for Endless Games, explained, “The game went through some design and graphics changes since it was presented in 2004. We’ve made it a quick and easy, affordable game that can deliver fast laughter which is always our goal, but may be particularly beneficial to people right now.”

Dropsy is one of the latest in Endless Games’ line of cool card games that already includes Red Light Green Light 1-2-3, The Name 5 Card Game, Jeopardy! and Jeopardy! Jr. Card Games, and the Wheel of Fortune and Wheel of Fortune Junior Card Games.

About Endless Games: Founded by industry veterans Mike Gasser, Kevin McNulty and game inventor Brian Turtle, Endless Games specializes in games that offer classic entertainment and hours of fun at affordable prices. The three have an uncanny ability for discovering and developing hit games, having been a part in past successes Trivial Pursuit™, Pictionary® and Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon™. The general principle of Endless Games is to produce high quality entertainment in board games that are quick and easy to learn but offer “Endless” play value. This theme runs through the line of classic games like Kismet and Mancala as well as home versions of the TV game shows Card Sharks, Password, Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy! Newer party games like AKA and That Was Awkward, and family games Name 5 and Everybody Knows also maintain this model for instantly addictive fun!

PSK Collective

As a lifelong athlete, Phaidra Knight, World Rugby Hall of Fame player, never had the “traditional” female figure, and as a result, was often forced to turn to custom clothing options to fit her tall, boxy shape. Identifying a blank space in the fashion market, Phaidra was inspired to create a fully inclusive, androgynous line that catered to athletic-bodied girls, women and individuals alike.

Bringing equity to young women athletes everywhere, PSK Collective is a fusion of activewear and streetwear designed to marry sports and fashion together for a greater cause – to empower and inspire the female athlete within each of us, and shift attitudes surrounding fashion and expression. And Phaidra isn’t alone. To further bring exposure and much needed recognition to female athletes around the world, Phaidra tapped many award-winning, trailblazing female athletes, such as Former WWE star Danielle Moinet and Olympian Aja Evans, to imprint on the collection and be part of the Collective.

Additionally, PSK Collective will be launching in partnership with Women’s Sports Foundation – a program Phaidra has been personally associated with for years. Coming full circle from her first days as an Advocacy Intern, to today as a Foundation Ambassador and serving on the Board of Trustees, Phaidra alongside other notable, international athletes aim to shine a light on women in sports and empower the next generation of athletes by donating 15% of all PSK Collective profits to the Foundation’s efforts.

Comprised of sustainably-minded essentials and trend-focused staples including tops, bottoms, dresses, sweat suits, outerwear and accessories (including everything from sneakers to surfboards), the collection strikes a balance of comfort and design perfect for every body type. The majority of pieces are priced $39 – $129 with sizes ranging from XS-3XL.

The PSK Collective is more than just a clothing line; it brings together talented women from all walks of life to empower and inspire the athletes within each of us. By shining a light on inclusivity and diversity, PSK Collective is ready to take on the world and serve women to be the best they can be on and off the field!

CELEBRATE INTERNATIONAL PROSECCO DAY WITH ALDI’S AWARD-WINNING FIZZ

If you ever needed an excuse to crack open a bottle of fizz on a week night, what better reason to celebrate the weekend early than International Prosecco Day (Thursday 13th August) – after all, they do say Thursday is the new Friday! If you feel passionately about this bubbly tipple you’ll be pleased to hear Aldi has you covered with everything from delicious organic bubbles to fruity Frizzante for every taste and style. Plus, with prices starting from as little as £4.99 who even needs an occasion? Let’s get fizzical!

But what is prosecco? Prosecco is an Italian sparkling wine originally made from Glera grapes. A firm favourite amongst Brits, the drink has evolved over time from being a cheaper alternative to champagne, the main ingredient in an Aperol Spritz and when added with peach nectar, it creates a delicious Bellini cocktail. Say no more!

Aldi has rounded up its award-winning and best-selling fizz bottles which are available online and in store now, so you can celebrate the special occasion.

Organic Prosecco (£7.99, 75cl)

Available in stores now and online nationwide now

For a second year in a row, Aldi’s best-selling Organic Prosecco has been awarded two silver medals at the renowned Drinks Business Organic Masters. The results come at a time when the popularity of organic sparkling wines continues to grow, with a forecasted growth of 8.2% between now and 2023[1]. Sourced from the Corvezzo family’s 150-hectare estate, 30km north-east of Venice, this eco-friendly fizz boasts classic notes of ripe pear and apricot. Grown with no pesticides or herbicides in the vineyard, this delicious bubbly tipple can be enjoyed as an aperitif or paired with a light fruity dessert.

Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG (£7.99, 75cl)

Available in stores now and online nationwide now

Another fan-favourite, this quality Italian sparkler is favoured for its light, creamy flavour and delicate floral touches, making it light and refreshing with aesthetically pleasing bubbles.

Castellore Prosecco DOC (£5.99)

Available in stores now and online nationwide now

With a scent characterised by its citrus fruit and flowery features, the Castellore Prosecco DOC provides the ideal partner for refined appetizers and delicate fish, white meats and fresh cheese dishes. The perfect accompaniment for a summer’s dinner in the garden.

Castellore Prosecco Frizzante (£4.99, 75cl)

Available in stores now and online nationwide now

This semi-sparkling wine has the same soft and fruity peach, pear and lemon zest flavours that you’d expect from our Castellore Prosecco DOC – just in a gentler Frizzante style. Serve as an aperitif or enjoy with any seafood dish which is enhanced by the soft citrus notes. Why not pimp your prosecco with peach or orange juice to make a sumptuous mimosa, or throw in some fresh or frozen fruits such as summer berries, blood oranges and mango to add a refreshing touch to your glass of bubbly. For under a fiver, you can’t go wrong.
