Irish Fishing Fleets to Lose More Than One Quarter of Western Mackerel Quota Share in Post-Brexit Transfers to UK – Afloat
Posted: January 19, 2021 at 9:02 am
Irelands fishing fleet stands to lose more than a quarter of the quota of its largest fishery in transfers to the UK under the recent Brexit trade deal.
And the quota share for herring caught in the Irish Sea will be cut by a whopping 96%, according to figures published by the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine today, Wednesday 13 January.
In its primary analysis of the reduction of quota shares under the EU/UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement reached last month, the department estimates there will be a 26% reduction in the western mackerel quota share, Irelands largest fishery.
In Irelands largest non-pelagic fishery prawns the Irish quota share reduction will be 14%.
The other whitefish fisheries where there are notable reductions are hake (3% in Celtic Sea), haddock (11% in Celtic Sea, 16 in Irish Sea, 22.6% at Rockall), megrim (8% in Celtic Sea, 19% in West of Scotland), anglerfish/monkfish (7% in Celtic Sea, 20% in West of Scotland) and pollack (8% in Celtic Sea).
Several smaller whitefish quotas in the Donegal/West of Scotland area have seen sizeable quota share reductions, the report states, with the largest part 60% between 2020 and 2021.
The aggregate final quota transfer by Ireland after five years (in 2026) is estimated to be 43 million which amounts to a 15% reduction compared to the overall value of the 2020 Irish quotas.
Alongside Germany, this represents the largest transfer as a proportion of quota value among the EUs maritime states.
The report, which is attached below emphasises that it is based on a preliminary analysis of available data and should be used as a guide only.

Dave Grohl’s teenage obsessions: ‘I learned drums by arranging pillows on my floor’ – The Guardian
Posted: at 9:02 am
Punk rock
Before I was a teenager, I started playing music in my bedroom by myself. I fell in love with the Beatles, then began to discover classic rock. I went from Kiss to Rush to AC/DC, but in 1983 I discovered punk rock music through a cousin in Chicago. My world turned upside down. My favourite bands were Bad Brains and Naked Raygun; I listened to Dead Kennedys and Black Flag. My introduction to live music came when my brother took me to a punk show in a small bar in Chicago. I didnt have that festival/stadium/arena rock experience; I just saw four punk rock dudes on the stage, playing this fast three-chord music, with about 75 people in the audience climbing all over each other. It changed my life. One of the most prolific scenes in hardcore American punk rock was in Washington DC, just across the bridge [from Grohls home town of Springfield, Virginia]. So I started going to see bands like Minor Threat and Fugazi. By the time I was 14, I was cutting and dyeing my hair and wearing leather jackets. All I wanted to do was leave school, jump in a van and tour shitty basement clubs with my punk band.
My mother was a teacher at the high school I went to. She spent her career dealing with rebellious little assholes like me, but she was known as the cool teacher. She understood that every child learned differently, and having a difficult time at school doesnt necessarily mean that a kid cant learn. I think I was her most difficult student, but she saw the passion in my musical obsession. So when I hit that stage of rebellion, I just glided through it. My mother was entirely supportive, and she was encouraged by the independence and creativity of the underground punk rock scene, because everybody did everything themselves. There were no record companies helping anyone: you just started a band, wrote a song, played a show, got $50, went to the studio, recorded something, pressed your own vinyl and put out your own record. To see your kid that passionate about anything at that age must have been very inspiring. Its always the things that you most want to do that you do well. Really, all I did was listen to music.
At 13 or 14, I had a narrow-minded vision that everything could only be punk rock all the time. I scoured the record shelves for anything dissonant and subversive death metal, industrial music anything that wasnt on the radio or seemed rebellious. By the time I was 15 or 16, my friends and I had already made records, played shows out of town. I had learned to play drums by arranging pillows on my floor and my bed in the formation of a drum set and playing along to Bad Brains. We discovered Led Zeppelin just as I started progressing as a drummer and I became obsessed with John Bonham: what he played and why. Its hard to explain, but his feel and sound is unmistakable and undefinable. Anyone can take the chart of what he played, but it would never be the same because it was as unique to that human as a fingerprint. I became like a monk, listening to these records and memorising them. It was like poetry to me. I became so obsessed that I gave myself a three-interlocked-circles John Bonham tattoo on my arm with a fucking sewing needle and some ink. I was branded for life.
Like most musicians playing punk and underground music in the 80s, I didnt have aspirations to make a career of it. When. When I was in my later teens, the reward was just some sort of appreciation from the audience. At the most, I hoped that some day I wouldnt still have to work in the furniture warehouse that I was working in back then, and would have my own apartment. Going on the road at that age [with the Washington punk band Scream], its such a beautiful time in anyones life. Youre discovering identity, finding some freedom and youre becoming who you are. So it was the perfect window of time to leave home and start wandering around the planet. I started touring at 18: carrying my stuff in a bag, sleeping on floors, and if I was lucky, Id get seven dollars a day to budget on cigarettes and Taco Bell. I was open to experience.
If we were playing a squat in Italy, Id be learning about their sense of community, their political ideas and language. Then Amsterdam and ending up in a coffee shop every night. I saw America for the first time through the window of an old Dodge van. It was John Steinbeck shit. I had a five-year plan: to learn music and become a studio drummer, then with the money I made go to college and become a graphic-design artist. When Nirvana got popular, all that shit went out of the window. I still cant read music.
In later life, Ive realised how fortunate I was to be surrounded by really amazing creative individuals as a teenager. I wasnt locked into any high-school social scene. I was hanging out with people in the Washington music and arts scene: photographers and writers or musicians who had labels of their own. In reconnecting with them in more recent years, I realised that they all went on to do such great things. One of my oldest friends from the Washington DC punk scene became head of the Sundance TV channel and worked with BBC America. Another one became a chef in Brooklyn. Another became an editor of Bon Apptit. Everyone went on to do great things, I think, because we were raised in the community of free-thinking weirdos that decided we werent going to follow the straight path. We were cool when we were young.
In my teens, I also realised that I could record music by myself. When I was about 13, I figured out how to multitrack things with two cassette decks. I would record songs with my guitar on my little handheld cassette, then take that cassette and put it into the home stereo, then hit play as I was recording another cassette on the cassette recorder. So I would add a vocal. I could multitrack that way.
Eventually, I became close friends with another musician who had an eight-track in his basement, so by 17 or 18 I started recording songs by myself, playing the drums first, then adding guitars then the vocal. Really only as an experiment. I never played the songs for other people, but it was wild. I could do this and 15 minutes later I would have a song that sounded like a band but was only one person. I learned to write and record, and that turned into Foo Fighters.
Foo Fighters album Medicine at Midnight is released 5 February on Roswell/Columbia Records

IMPACT Wrestling’s Kiera Hogan discusses her team with Tasha Steelz, going for the gold at Hard to Kill, and more (Exclusive) – Sportskeeda
Posted: at 9:02 am
Kiera Hogan entered IMPACT Wrestling in 2017 and hasn't looked back since. Once known as the "Girl on Fire", she has since evolved into the "Hottest Flame",
In the process, she also changed her trademark colors, shedding her fiery red for a blistering blue.It was her subtle yet at the same timebold way of making a statement.
However, her boldness extends beyond the ring, as well. Several months ago, she bravely revealed many details about her personal life and has been hailed as a role model in the LGBTQ community. Kiera Hogan has been recognized by several organizations and even dropped the puck at the Chicago Wolves hockey game, on their first-ever "Pride Night".
In the ring, Kiera Hogan has become one of the top stars of IMPACT Wrestling's Knockouts division. In her four years with the company, however, she is yet to win a championship. That could all change on January 16th, when she and her partner Tasha Steelz will get a shot at the IMPACT Wrestling Knockouts Tag Team titles at the Hard to Kill pay-per-view
In an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda, Kiera Hogan discussed her career, her partnership with Tasha Steelz, their pursuit of the IMPACT Wrestling Knockouts Tag Team Titles, and much more...
Listen to Sportskeeda's full interview with IMPACT Wrestling's Kiera Hogan right below:
Kiera Hogan: I don't know. Not per se. I feel like we as a whole unit are very equal. I feel like we all respect where we all came from as wrestlers, and how far along we've come as wrestlers.
Kiera Hogan: It's been amazing. She's amazing. I met Tasha a few years ago at a show and we hit it off instantly. We were instant friends.
(IMPACT Wrestling) threw us together. And, from the beginning... instant chemistry, on TV and with everything. I feel like every time we work, we just get closer and stronger together.
I honestly think me and Tasha are the epitome of a tag team. The epitome of IMPACT Wrestling Knockouts tag teams. And that's why we're going to be the champions.
These titles have been made for us. At the end of the day, these titles are made for us, because like I've said, we started with nothing, and we made it into something. And, I think we have completely blown it out of the water and made it into something even bigger. And this year is going to prove even more what we have to offer.
Kiera Hogan: You know? I look up to someone very particular when it comes to titleholders. And, that is Ms. Gail Kim. Gail Kim held both the Knockouts tag titles and the Knockouts title at the same time.
That is my goal for this year. That is my goal for 2021. I plan to be the one that does that. All I have to do first is win these tag team titles on January 16th at Hard to Kill, and prove that I'm hard to kill.
And then, I'm gunning right for Deonna (Purrazzo) and that main title.
Because me? I have not once had a title opportunity in the four years I've been at IMPACT Wrestling. And I think it's about damn time that I get a title opportunity.
So, I think after I and Tasha win these tag titles, that is our next order of business. And you know, I'm just going to be a double champion, and we're going to rock all the gold and be the best. Just like we planned to be in 2021.

Ireland to net 1.05bn of EU Brexit Reserve Fund heres some of worst-hit sectors who can expect to benef – The Irish Sun
Posted: at 9:02 am
BUSINESSES across Ireland will be hoping for relief after it was announced Ireland will net 1.05bn from the EU Brexit Reserve Fund.
We are to receive almost a quarter of the 5.4bn war chest, given our position as one of the nation states worst affected by our nearest neighbours departure from the union, followed by Holland (760m), Germany (455m) and France (420m).
2
2
The cash will be given out over the course of this year but member countries who receive it will have to account for how it was spent in 2023.
Here, the Irish Sun examines some of the worst-hit sectors who can expect to benefit.
Irelands fishing industry is perhaps the biggest casualty of Brexit and could lose up to 35million per year.
As part of the haggling on quotas, the EU agreed to hand over 25 per cent of the catch from UK waters during the next five-and-a-half years.
Irish trawlers have also found themselves barred from areas they depended on for decades, with one Donegal vessel, the Northern Celt, recently ordered to leave the seas around Rockall by a Marine Scotland ship.
Its not yet been decided how much of the 1bn will go to the industry here and Government insisted it should not be seen as exclusively about fishing.
However, as the EU has announced an overall 600m for European maritime communities, those here can expect at least 150m on a pro-rata basis.
The hundreds of small agri-food businesses which have long sold their produce in the UK were always going to be one of the worst hit sectors.
More than 173,000 people work in the industry here, which generated 14.5 billion worth of exports in 2019, most across the Irish Sea.
This led the Government to allocate an initial 100m in funding at Christmas, but firms will be seeking more from the Brussels money.
Producers aware of looming trade problems had been diversifying into other markets such as China, the Middle East and North Africa, but the transport issues caused by Brexit and Covid also interfered with these exports.
But while bigger processors could weather the storm, it will be family businesses that take the brunt.
The Department of Agriculture has estimated farm incomes could drop by up to 13 per cent due to lower livestock prices, despite the deal to avoid tariffs.
Given the Common Travel Area the biggest Brexit-related threat to tourism here is the potential decline of the UKs economy and a resulting fall in the value of sterling.
A drop by the pound against the euro would affect the entire eurozone, but as one of the more expensive countries in the EU, Ireland can least afford it.
3.7m of the 10m visitors who came here from abroad in 2019 were from Great Britain and British tourists remain a vital support, especially outside the most attractive destinations.
Tourism Ireland says it has been preparing for Brexit since the vote in 2016, but could not have factored in the devastation caused by Covid-19 to the industry.
Any funding to accommodation and tour providers will likely come in the form of income supports and tax breaks, but the good news is that Tourism Ireland is adamant visitors can be won back with the right marketing.
Unless of course sterling plummets seriously in value.
A fall in sterling could also be disastrous for retailers already struggling with Covid-related issues.
While some stores such as hardware and home furnishings have enjoyed something of a lockdown boom from consumers with nowhere else to spend, not everyone has benefitted.

Prolonged closures of non-essential outlets have devastated incomes while leaving them with rent and other overheads to pay.
And with 75 per cent of online sales already flowing out of the country to web giants like Amazon, a stronger euro will make items under 22 which do not attract VAT even more attractive to Irish shoppers.
Like publicans, retailers are on their knees and Retail Excellence said it wants the Government to prioritise its members as key beneficiaries of the 1bn EU cash.

Mobile Groove’s Peggy Anne Salz on ‘the year that forced many to rewrite the marketing playbook’ – Pocket Gamer.Biz
Posted: January 3, 2021 at 10:00 pm
2020 will be a year that lives long in many people's memories, for better and for worse. Thankfully, there have been some fantastic experiences on mobile to help us all through these particularly trying times.
The games industry is thriving despite the devastating effects of COVID, and the mobile sector has also seen extraordinary growth this year. Games have undeniably been a force for good under unprecedented circumstances.
With that, we've reached out to several members of the industry for their insight, thoughts and personal experiences throughout 2020. We're on a mission to discover favourite mobile games, how has the industry coped under the pandemic, and what we could see in 2021 and beyond.
This time, we're catching up with Peggy Anne Salz, founder and chief analyst at Mobile Groove.
PocketGamer.biz: What do you think was the biggest news or event for the mobile games industry in 2020?
Peggy Anne Salz: The biggest event was the accelerated shift to baking retention mechanics and rewarded ad formats into the fabric of games from the get-go. The approach isn't new, but the urgency is. Confined to our homes, we may be playing games in record numbers, but we are also spoiled for choice.
Rising above the noise is about finding smart ways to acquire users and keep them coming back. It's here that companies, including Viker and Rovio, are shifting mindsets and building teams to design for retention, using narratives, storytelling and incentives to keep players engaged.
Which mobile game do you think had the biggest impact on the industry this year?
Fortnite and Epic Games but not for gameplay. They are the pioneers of a new approach that wrests the power of distribution from the app stores and puts it in the hands of smart games companies with the scale and vision to follow the blueprint. In an age of disruption, the decision in December of the Epic Games store to feature the Spotify app democratises access.
It also allows gaming companies to expand their business models and change the rules. We will remember 2020 as a milestone year in the battle to allow developers to process their own payments and circumvent giving 30 per cent of all in-app revenue to the store owner. It's a cut that developers won't want to pay and many won't be able to in a market sure to be hit by a global recession that will rock all industries, not just gaming, to their foundation.
In terms of your company, what's the thing you're most proud of during 2020?
This year forced many to rewrite the marketing playbook and learn new ways to set themselves and their teams up for success especially in a WFH environment. This is something you can't do alone. So, I am proud that through my interviews, articles and moderation on PGC panels, I could highlight best practices and spotlight the marketing ninjas leading the charge to a retention-first, product-led approach to making and marketing amazing games.
What are you most looking forward to in 2021?
I look forward to continuing to educate the market and elevate the discussion. Gaming isn't just about games anymore. The opportunities to deliver commerce, communications and more are astounding, and I want to help gaming companies understand and wield the tremendous influence and opportunities that are well within their grasp.

BLACKLOUD ties off 2020 with stimulating ‘Synesthesia’ EP – EARMILK
Posted: December 30, 2020 at 5:11 pm
Prague's melodic techno and deep house producer BLACKLOUD celebratesthe release of his 'Synesthesia' EP, making its way to all platforms on December 28th, 2020 viaWold Records. The set of three sensorially stimulating original mixes from the burgeoningproducer come as awarmly welcomed addition to hisdiscography and set the tone of what to expect from him come 2021.
Conceptually derived from the psychological phenomenonsynesthesia, where those affected experience a perceptual difference in the experience of the 5 senses, his EP aptly aims to associate color with sound.Across the EP's 3 cuts "Magenta","Teal" and"Anthracite"we see BLACKLOUD illustratively weave together compositions of melodic deep house andtechno that evoke an imaginative chromatic response.
The first of the triplet, and an essential primary colorinthe printing process, "Magenta"was inspired by the essential organic sounds of BLACKLOUD's studio:a cricket's chirp, the chatter of a cat and the collision of acoffee mug on his station's surface. Absent of direct external inspiration, "Teal" was the color envisioned by BLACKLOUD when building the production from break-beat rhythms. In likeness to the EP's namesake, the resulting track evoked the experience of the bright blue derivative.Driving in nature, the brooding hues of black and blue inspire the dark, atmospheric club-ready number "Anthracite". Structuredwith emotive chord progressions alongside sharp arpeggios, the track brings the EP to its conclusionwith energy and intrigue.
Having dedicated much of his life to contemporary electronic music, the Turkish born producer cut his teeth on the dance floors of all the major clubs of Turkey. Captivating audiences domestic and now abroad,BLACKLOUD'sforward thinking productions continue to evolve, pushing the boundaries and aiding inthe development of progressive dance music genres. Drawing inspiration from contemporary classical and post-modern rock, all of his tracks stem from a single piano progression. His thoughtful introduction of 4/4 bass lines alongside the infusion of organic sound elements result in an intelligent catalogue of dance music.
BLACKLOUD's 'Synesthesia' EP wraps what was nothing less than a whirlwindyear for the world with a sensorially stimulating anthology of songs that set the stage for a vibrant year sure to ensue with emergence from the current climate.Stay up to date with all of BLACKLOUD'ssocial channels for news on upcominginstallmentsin his catalogue.

Monday Night Football: Josh Allen, Stefon Diggs carry Bills to 38-9 win over Patriots – NBC Sports
Posted: at 5:11 pm
Getty Images
It was perfectly clear on Monday night as to which team was heading to the playoffs as the AFC East champion and which team will be watching the playoffs from home for the first time in 12 years.
Josh Allen and Stefon Diggs emphatically carried the Buffalo Bills to a 38-9 victory over the New England Patriots on Monday night. Allen tossed four touchdowns on the night, three of which went to Diggs, as the Bills earned a season sweep of the Patriots for the first time since 1999. It didnt even take four full quarters to do it as Allen and Diggs both earned a seat on the bench for most of the fourth quarter.
Allen completed 27-of-36 passes for 320 yards and four touchdowns while Diggs caught nine of those passes for 145 yards and three scores. In the process, Allen set the Bills franchise records for touchdowns in a season (34) and completions (375), surpassing the previous marks held by Jim Kelly and Drew Bledsoe, respectively.
The Patriots actually led 3-0 after a 45-yard Nick Folk field goal on the opening drive of the game.
It was all Bills from there. Buffalo would score touchdowns on four straight drives that didnt include a lone kneel down to end the first half.
After a 22-yard Tyler Bass field goal, Zack Moss scored on a 5-yard touchdown run to give Buffalo a 10-3 lead. Cam Newton scored on a 9-yard touchdown run to pull the Patriots back within just a point after a missed extra point from Folk.
Lee Smith caught a 4-yard touchdown pass from Allen as the Bills lead grew to 17-9 before Diggs hogged the rest of the scoring output. Allen and Diggs connected on a 50-yard touchdown as Buffalo took a 24-9 lead into halftime. Diggs would add touchdowns from 18 yards and 8 yards before the two took a seat on the bench for the remainder of the night.
Newton completed just 5-of-10 passes for 34 yards before being pulled in the third quarter in favor of Jarrett Stidham. Stidham finished with 44 passing yards on 4-of-11 passing in his limited action. Newtons 34 yards passing are the fewest for a Patriots starting quarterback since Scott Secules had just 16 yards passing against the Bills in 1993. Secules left the game with an injury after just seven attempts.

Total Bank Solutions and Rockall Technologies Collaborate …
Posted: December 19, 2020 at 8:14 am
TBS and Rockall Technologies to jointly offer a fully automated, end-to-end solution designed to support the unique requirements of Securities-Based Lines of Credit (SBLOCs)
HACKENSACK, N.J. and DUBLIN, Ireland, June 22, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) Today Total Bank Solutions (TBS), a privately held financial technology firm located in Hackensack, NJ, announced the introduction of their Loan Management System (LMS) integrated with FASTNET from Rockall, to deliver an innovative end-to-end securities-based lending platform that connects lenders seeking high-quality, collateralized loans with borrowers requiring convenient access to credit. Through this unique offering, clients will have access to a scalable, straight-through process that supports multi-lender origination, collateral evaluation, monitoring, and loan servicing on a modular basis.
We are very excited to be able to offer clients a true end-to-end solution to support securities-based lines of credit, said Kevin Bannerton, Partner TBS. With Rockalls proven expertise in collateral management and our executive teams experience in building SBL platforms and facilitating systems integration, it made complete sense for us to work together on this initiative. As wealth management platforms continue to evolve, there is an increased focus on liability management. Whether you are an independent broker- dealer or a registered investment advisor, there is a growing demand by financial advisors to offer complete lending solutions for their clients. Through this offering, we can now deliver the benefits of a fully integrated SBL platform that, until now, has only been available to organizations that have established a high level of connectivity with their affiliated banks.
For TBS, offering a securities-based lending product is a natural extension of its flagship FDIC Insured Deposit Program. The Liquidity Management System will connect banks that maintain excess lending capacity with financial intermediaries whose clients have borrowing needs. To ensure a leadership position in the SBLOC market, TBS has hired industry veteran Daniel Babayan as Managing Director-Securities- Based Lending to head the initiative. Dan comes to TBS after having founded and managed a successful consulting practice that specialized in advising both banks and broker-dealers in the design and implementation of SBLOC programs.
