coaster, fitted with sensors, measures the weight of the beer and sends a signal behind the
bar when it’s time for a refill. Anxious drinkers can also attract the attention of staff by wav
ing the plastic mat, thanks to a motion sensor.
It was invented by students Matthias Hahnen and Robert Doerr for a project at the
University of Saarbruecken in southwest Germany. The device has attracted the attention
of beer vendors in North America, including a leading Canadian brewer, according to
Michael Schmitz, one of the supervisors of the project. “They wanted to know if they could
use it or make it themselves,” Schmitz said. “The prototype cost about 84 euros to make
one but if mass produced, it could be done for around 10 euros.
Santa Claus gets code of conduct
LONDON (Reuters) — It’s the Santa Clause and its aim is to root out substandard Santas.
Jolly, bearded Father Christmas has been ordered to clean up his act or be forced to hang
up his trademark red suit.
“We are trying to eradicate shoddy Santas,” James Lovell of the Ministry of Fun agency
told Reuters the day after a secret summit of Santas drew up guidelines for girth, beard
length, attire, footwear and general demeanor. “Santa is a magical and cuddly man, not a
fat, smelly slob,” said Lovell, whose agency fills 500 Santa positions a year. “1 even saw a
Santa last year wearing trainers (sneakers).”
From this December, Santas — who only substitute for the real thing when he is busy
elsewhere - must be neatly presented, have a bushy white beard no more than six inches
long and a girth of no greater than 48 inches and no less than 46 inches. “He must not smell
of drink or body odor and his ‘Ho! Ho! Ho!’ must resonate deeply,” Lovell said.
