This sketchnote is featured in Eva-Lotta's new book that gathers her sketchnotes from over 100 talks taken at design events and conferences in 2011. In addition, Eva-Lotta invited 10 of her favourite sketchnoters from all over the world to contribute to the book. They all sketched the same TED talk and created some stunning sketches that show off the wide variety of styles and different ways of summarising content. www.sketchnotesbook.com

Ancestry (www.ancestry.co.uk) has released another important Scottish collection which will be of immense use to those with connections to Perth and Kinross - the Perth and Kinross, Scotland, Electoral Registers, 1832-1961 records, as sourced from the A. K. Bell Library in Perth. From the site: About Perth and Kinross, Scotland, Electoral Registers, 1832-1961 Electoral records are useful for tracking individuals over time and place because they were created on an annual basis. This database contains electoral registers listing names of voters for Perth and Kinross in Scotland. Historical Background Prior to 1832, the vast majority of the Scottish population did not have the right to vote. In 1832, the Scottish Reform Act of 1832 sought to level the playing field when it came to parliamentary representation and lowered the property threshold, enfranchising much more of the population. The 1832 act allowed owners or tenants of residences worth more than £10 the right to vote provided the appropriate poor rates and taxes had been paid for the previous year. Further reforms in 1868 and 1884 added even more voters to the voter rolls. By 1930, voting rights became universal in Scotland. What You May Find in the Records Electoral registers may list an eligible voter’s name, address, occupation, qualifications for voting, and a place where the property that qualified a voter is located. These records were extracted using a new OCR indexing method. They were not transcribed. We encourage you to correct any errors you find in the data by going to the image and editing the name in the correction panel at the bottom of the page.

From Perth and Kinross Archives (http://www.pkc.gov.uk/archives): Culture Perth and Kinross From 1 April 2016 Libraries, Archives, Local and Family History, Museums and Galleries, and Arts Development services will be transferred from Perth & Kinross Council into a new Culture Trust - Culture Perth and Kinross. Moving to a new Trust will not mean any changes to the service you currently receive from the Council Archive. Services and opening hours will stay as they are now and you are unlikely to notice any difference when you use Libraries, Archives or Local and Family History services. The permanent collections held in the Council Archive and Local & Family History will remain in the ownership of the Council and arrangements for material held on loan will be with the Council, but administered on its behalf by Culture Perth and Kinross. You can continue to contact us in all the ways you do now, phone numbers will not change and service details will still be available on the Council website. (With thanks to Stephen Connelly at Perth and Kinross Archives) Chris For details on my genealogy guide books, including A Decade of Irish Centenaries: Researching Ireland 1912-1923, Discover Scottish Church Records (2nd edition), Discover Irish Land Records and Down and Out in Scotland: Researching Ancestral Crisis, please visit http://britishgenes.blogspot.co.uk/p/my-books.html.

by Mark, Wholesale Operations Manager and Coffee Roaster at Unorthodox RoastersI will start off by admitting maybe a controversial question! Personally, having tried for a while to make the leap into coffee roasting, I can tell you the struggle is real! Coffee is a massive industry that engulfs most of the globe whether you are a roaster, green buyer, barista, farmer or just a home warrior, coffee reaches us all. Despite this I and I’m sure many others with a passion for coffee can find it incre
