LABOUR TD Ciara Conway called on unions to get the best deal possible for the Bausch + Lomb workers.

But People Before ProďŹ t urged the workers to reject the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ultimatum despite the risk of losing all the jobs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If the workers are forced to accept this latest shocking attack, it would send a signal to all employers around the country that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s open season on workers wages, jobs and conditions,â&#x20AC;? said its Waterford branch in a statement.

Ms Conway described the news as â&#x20AC;&#x153;devastatingâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The company are being bullishly clear in their intentions â&#x20AC;&#x201C; so now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s down to the unions to get the best deal possible for the workforce,â&#x20AC;? she said.

She said she was meeting the unions and would â&#x20AC;&#x153;stand with them and the workers in the task theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re facing.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;?Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m also backing calls for funding from the Strategic Investment Fund to be earmarked for Waterford,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clear that we are in crisis and action is needed.â&#x20AC;?

People Before ProďŹ t labelled the B+l management â&#x20AC;&#x153;adventure capitalistsâ&#x20AC;? and accused them of trying to â&#x20AC;&#x153;blackmail the work forceâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These super wealthy individuals are using the economic crisis and recession to gouge its already hard pressed workers who have given many concessions on jobs and wages over the last decade,â&#x20AC;? it said.

It blamed the Labour Party and trades unions for â&#x20AC;&#x153;the mantra of the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC; Bosses are our Partners â&#x20AC;&#x2DC; â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a strategy that must be resisted, otherwise those remaining workers at B+L will effectively be paying for the redundancy exit package of the 200 workers joining the dole queues, as well as leaving themselves open to future attacks on jobs,wages and conditions,â&#x20AC;? said People Before ProďŹ t. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is therefore imperative that the B+L employees resist every job loss and ďŹ ght every cut and in doing so would have the support of all workers and ordinary citizens ,not just in Waterford but around the country.â&#x20AC;?

Hypnotist makes smokers forget they ever smoked!

W

hen most people think of hypnosis they think of a Keith Barry or Derren Brown style performance. Often on a stage show, the hypnotist makes people forget their names or chase after Leprechauns. Depending on the show, the volunteers often don’t remember what happened during the show.

Sometimes for hours afterwards, they are still chasing after Leprechauns, looking for their pot of gold.

And of course this is all harmless fun, after all, those people did volunteer for the show.

Clinical Hypnotist Nigel Brennan, claims the same methods that stage performers use to make people forget

their names, can be used to help people forget about cigarettes!

Brennan says: “The people who go up on stage for a stage hypnosis show are volunteers. It works for them because they are willing to do what the hypnotist asks them to do.

The rest of the people are spectators.

If someone wants to stop smoking, all they have to do is come to one of my events, and be a volunteer. Once they do that, I’ll show them how to use the power of hypnosis to stop smoking. Hypnosis is all about volunteering, once you understand that, you can make it work for you.”

If this is the case, it sounds like a godsend for people who have been struggling but want to quit. With the spate of recent statistics around

smoking related illness, and the cost of smoking, many smokers are willing to try anything to kick the habit.

The fact that people have to volunteer, does sound like it won’t work unless you are willing to engage with the process. Which kind of makes sense, but it means I can’t make “a certain relative” stop, because I know they don’t really want to quit.

Pity!

These events are held at different hotels around the country, take 90 minutes and cost just €99. There is a guarantee that if you feel you need to re-attend, it is free of charge. The next event is being held on Tuesday the 10th of June 2014, at the Tower Hotel Waterford. Registration is at 7.45pm.

Details for the event can be found at www.quittingsmoking.ie or you can call 087-3835993

Stereotypes rarely serve any positive purpose and here the negative stereotypes have been leading us to a false belief of homelessness being self-inflicted and hence somehow deserved.

Adequate housing is a human right, vital to human dignity, security and well-being. No one deserves to be homeless; least of all a child.

2B;NĂ&#x152;MĂ&#x2014;IHĂ&#x2014;NB?Ă&#x2014;G?HO RASPBERRY JAM Lately more and more of our customers in the cafe are following the recipe column. By far the most requested food is our homemade jam. I have always insisted on making our own as there is no comparison to shop bought. So here is the recipe and method to the easiest and most gratifying sauce you may ever make.

Before you start, sterilise your jars (see tip below) and put a saucer in the fridge to chill.

RASPBERRY JAM 500 grams caster sugar 500 grams fresh raspberries Simply bring the two ingredients to the boil in a thick bottomed pot, stirring

To test whether it is ready put a teaspoon of the jam onto the saucer in the fridge and leave for two minutes. If it wrinkles when you press it with your ďŹ nger itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ready.

The top of the jam may look like it has sediment on it, but if you stir it well as it cools, a little of this disappears. Pour into the jars and seal. It will keep unopened for a year, although the lovely bright colour will darken a little.

Once open, keep in the fridge.

Didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t I tell you it was simple?

The Granary CafĂŠ is on Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connell Street

occasionally. Reduce heat and let simmer for about 15 minutes.

Business of the week Heatons Heatons has currently been around for 67 years and for good reason, it is one of Ireland’s best department stores and one that is engrained in the Irish shopping experience, with over fifty shops across the island. The business is home to the latest fashions and styles for all the family as well as homeware and textiles for the house, on top of this there is also toiletries, toys, and the latest DVDs and CDs and lots of other stuff. It’s a great place to shop, time tested, and with enough variety to keep you returning again and again.

Hotel of the week Atheneum House Located at Christendom (Waterford), Atheneum House Hotel is an exceptional location, magical in its beauty and tranquillity and unique in its unsurpassed quality. The hotel is tucked away down a private road which gives the location a certain mystique, you won’t be listening to cars rattle by at 3 in the morning you are completely enveloped in the world of Atheneum, On top of this, the restaurant featured is excellent and serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, and the hotel is a perfect place for a wedding or an event. I highly recommend Atheneum House Hotel.

Film of the week A Millon Ways to Die in the West Back in 2012, Ted surprised most people by being a genuinely funny and inventive comedy, it was leagues above whatever season Family Guy or American Dad was on at the time and proved that Seth McFarlane could still put out a great content. His newest film can’t quite match the comedy highs of Ted but is still an insatiably fun movie and one worth seeing. The film stars McFarlane himself as well as Charlize Theron, Liam Neeson and Amanda Seyfried and is set in Wild West Arizona and has Macfarlane fall for a new woman who has just entered town, but with her gunslinger husband coming back home what will be the fate of our main character? To be fair, Ted has a stupid premise too.

Restaurant of the week Sabai Thai Restaurant Sabai is a great addition to the Waterford culinary experience, specializing in Thai food cooked to the highest of quality, the restaurant is one of the best in the city. Sabai is located at the Mall in an old fashioned and beautiful Georgian building and offers a highly diverse menu, showing every face that the world of Thai food has to offer; one of the most interesting choices is the four course tasting menu that gives you a little bit of everything on offer. Atmosphere and staff also are a large part of the Sabai experience; with the outdoor private garden being a great choice for Summer night meals, I highly recommend this restaurant.

Shop of the week Cleary’s Hardware Located on the Clonmel Road at Carrick on Suir, Cleary’s Hardware is an excellent shop for Waterford, selling a wide variety of goods with excellent and friendly service to boot, it is unquestionably one of the best places in the county for hardware. From cables and heating to pipes and tools to simple decoration like wallpaper and flooring, there is so much on offer here and I is all provided to you with some of the most friendly and helpful staff I have ever come across. I highly recommend this shop.

Watch Dogs has attracted much controversy since its launch last week: Along with a mediocre PC version and quite silly story, the game has been accused of false information in its trailers as well as trying to bribe game reviewers with Nexus 7s. I on the other hand, am satisfied, of course it wasn’t going to live up to the hype, the same hype that put it somewhere between Grand Theft Auto and Metal Gear Solid, but the game itself is highly enjoyable and one of the most fun experiences of the year. In terms of gameplay the closest comparison would be Deus Ex Human Revolution though even that didn’t give you a full open world to explore at will.

Watch Dogs

Pub of the Week The Munster Bar It’s always nice to see a pub with a bit of history to it; located on The Mall, The Munster is one of the final remaining family run pubs in the city and an excellent destination for anyone who enjoys a good pub experience.

The atmosphere of The Munster Bar is insatiably friendly and warm, you feel right at home from the moment you enter and the feeling never leaves for the entirety of your time. The food is one of the best aspects, it’s absolutely excellent and priced inordinately fairly. This is a great pub, one of Waterford’s best, and I recommend it wholeheartedly.

TV of the Week Fargo Fargo is a show that started out great and then just kept getting better and better with each episode, it now sits as probably the best drama currently on television. So far the show has established that it exists in the same universe as the 1996 classic film, has one tangential relation to it, and has characters that mirror the film versions (most notably Jerry Lundegaard and Lester Nygaard) but the show, while still leaning on the wacky surrealism that characterises the Coen Brothers, has its own unique voice and character and deserves to be watched.

Car dealer of the week George Corbett Motors Begun in 1994, George Corbett Motors is a car dealer of Mazda and Seat that has been one of Waterford’s seminal car dealers ever since it opened and is renowned for its quality of service. The business is located on the Cork Road and though specializing in new Mazda and Seat cars, also features a large variety of used cars from dozens of different brands at extremely fair prices; the website’s simple and elegant design allows you to find whatever car you could need in seconds and the staff at the location will help you to the same degree. I highly recommend George Corbett Motors.

Book of the Week Beowulf (JRR Tolkein) Beowulf of course, isn’t a particularly new piece of literature, nor is JRR Tolkien who died in 1973, but a Translation of the epic poem, written by JRR Tolkien in 1926, has finally been released. The epic poem, told in verse is about Beowulf, a Prince of Geat (now part of Sweden) who aids the King of Danes in destroying Grendel, a giant or monster of some description. That’s the start at least, there is much more to it than that, and Tolkien’s translation not only accurately portrays the course of events in a readable way but also personifies his clear fascination with the work, you can see how the events of Beowulf had a permanent effect on not only how Tolkien wrote but how he thought of his work, I highly recommend it.

CROSSWORDS Can you ďŹ nd the words then ďŹ t them correctly into the grid?

It may be time to put your observerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hat on. Note how youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re attracting original thinkers into your world. Note too how certain people dress and how some definitely complement your style. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s said that we are all just power and energy sources. It seems that these waves vary.

When you want to use it, you have an extraordinary ability to turn things around and to direct traffic so that everyone gains. A combination of charm and expertise is at the root of this - plus your natural talent for staying grounded and ensuring practicalities are dealt with.

By the end of this week youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re likely to be more in tune with yourself than you have been. True, that might also be because you realise youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve come to the end of the road as regards a working partnership. It may be that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve given this all the energy that you can.

You know that thing you do when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re upset: that withdrawal into your shell?

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a possibility you might want to do just that toward the weekend - but perhaps not for â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;negativeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; reasonsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Fact is that it seems youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on the threshold of a breakthrough (assuming you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t already crossed over).

Perhaps you recall that since October 2012 Saturn has been moving through another of the Fixed signs and across the base of your solar chart? On several occasions, this, the very back-bone of this chart has been illuminated with both property and family matters demanding significant attention.

By Thursday the Moon will be in your sign and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at this point that you may feel better able to voice disquiet at plans. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re being unnecessarily critical but rather more that you need to be clear as to what is planned, a time-frame and how it can best be managed.

Think back to August last year and the connections you made then. Which of these require attention? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very likely that an investment (probably of time) might now require a little cash too. If thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an issue here itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perhaps that a close colleague or partner doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t share your aim.

On Saturday, Saturn, still moving through your sign, opposes the Sun. You experienced this transit last year too. This represents something of a cosmic â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;full stopâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; moment when any matters not finished to satisfaction come back for those final touches.

It might help to think back to last August and September and what you and a colleague were planning. It may be time for review. True, you might simply end up discussing holiday dates. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as likely that your joint research and development ideas will push forward.

It may not be possible to work from home but it certainly seems that there is home-work to do. Ensuring you have adequate working space set aside could be a driving force this week. Actually, this might well build on plans made late last summer and which youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never quite got around to implementing.

It might help to think back a few months - perhaps to before the November solar eclipse. Though you may have consciously been reviewing every step youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve taken since then, this week could provide the first opportunity to make real and lasting amendments.

There are some signs who attract drama - and it seems youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re one of them.

Perhaps thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why those of your sign are viewed as chameleons - readily changing direction and style to accommodate conditions. It seems you might spend an increasing amount of time in your â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;dressing-roomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; this week.

:H DUH WKH %HVW When depicting stories about young girls, filmmakers have a tendency to glitz them up with vibrant colors, pop hit soundtracks, and leading ladies so pretty and polished in their look they seem custom-made to be fashion dolls. With We Are The Best!, Swedish writer-director Lukas Moodysson rejects these flashy facades, instead offering a story of girlhood and friendship that is refreshingly authentic, captivating and sincere, not to mention a hell of a lot of fun.

The heroines of We Are The Best! are true tomboys, not the Hollywood variety where a ponytail, glasses and paintsplattered overalls are all that separate them from being the prettiest, most popular girls at school. There will be no Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s All That makeover for Klara (Mira Grosin), Hedvig (Liv LeMoyne) and Bobo (Mira Barkhammar). Their story doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t demand one.

ing of age in 1982 Stockholm, they rebel against the selfimposed uniforms of their female peers---neon colors and long flowing locks--wearing instead oversized sweaters, dark leggings, and self-made haircuts of mohawks and soaped up spikes. The only makeover youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see here is Hedvigâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s transformation from quiet Christian conservative to giggling, spiky-haired punk girl. And rather than this transformation being the filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s climax, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big moment in the second act, signaling these girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; emerging friendship, where they begin to learn the tricky nature of peer pressure.

We Are The Best! has a wandering plot that leads the girls through arguments over music, their first drunken party, rivalries over boys, and the formation of a band that will bond them forever. Their story is loosely inspired by Never Goodnight, an autobiographical graphic novel by

Lukas Moodyssonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife, Coco Moodysson. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve not had the opportunity to read Never Goodnight, but its influence is felt in the care and tenderness given to capturing the complexity and unadulterated joy that ties together girl friends.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a celebration of youth and that dizzying time of selfdefinition that is teendom, but lacking the glossiness and nostalgia that so many coming-of-age movies slather on. We Are The Best! is something more truthful and thereby more poignant.

With its plucky heroines and their enthusiastic defiance, deep-set loyalty, and relatable anxieties, We Are The Best! gets under your skin, into your heart, and refuses to be forgotten. This is a classic coming-of-age story that embraces the messiness and stubbornness of adolescence, delivering a drama that is alive with attitude, humor and heart.

hy canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you just slip into a full splits?

What is it that actually stops you? You may think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the length of your muscles, the range of motion of your joints etc but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not entirely accurate. Technically, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the stretch reďŹ&#x201A;ex.

The Central Nervous System The Stretch ReďŹ&#x201A;ex is a builtin safety feature of the central nervous system (CNS). It is the central nervous system that decides what is the safe range of motion for each movement. It holds muscles at a pre-set length and stops them from stretching any further by contracting them when pulled beyond this level.

When you go past what the CNS considers a safe level, the stretch reďŹ&#x201A;ex sends back a message causing it to tighten the muscle and prevent any further lengthening.

So for example, if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re easing down into a splits, your central nervous system will stop you at the point where it has determined you can no longer continue with safety. A

lot of soft tissue injuries will occur when the stretch reďŹ&#x201A;ex doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have time to engage for example when falling or tripping. So the stretch reďŹ&#x201A;ex is a safety mechanism to stop us from over-lengthening muscles.

Stretch ReďŹ&#x201A;ex Set Too High However, sometimes the stretch reďŹ&#x201A;ex can be set too high. For instance, when we continually donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use muscles to their full range of motion, they will shorten. The central nervous system will consider this to be the new norm. When an opportunity to engage in a new range of motion presents, the CNS will consider it unsafe and tighten up to prevent the movement.

The secret to keeping muscles safe and healthy is by using them in a wide variety of movements. It can happen that we need to work on increasing the length of particular sets of muscles and there are various means of doing this.

The simplest is the adaptation method. If you want to stretch your hamstrings, this patient, coaxing method is a great way to re-educate the stretch reďŹ&#x201A;ex but requires that you are content to stretch only tiny bit more each time. For example, when doing a hamstring stretch, learn to relax the muscles, feeling a pleasant lengthening. But doing this over a period of weeks, months or even years will slowly teach the central nervous system that this slight increase in length is the new norm. It wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen overnight but the sense of ease and freedom will be worth it.

You may even get into that full splits.

Waterford Mail 05 June 2014

'D\V Waterford Mail

By Max Casey

Evoke- Things I do be Thinking is a new art exhibition at the Garter Lanes Art Centres made up of pieces from the Waterford municipal art collection and will be on for free admission from the 5th June to the 24th July.

If it hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t already sold out, The June Rodgers Summer show will be on this Friday and is definitely worth seeing, after twenty years June Rodgers is finally putting her show on the road.

Jack and the Beanstalk is a new play for all ages that adapts the old fairy tale and makes it an extremely fun experience, it will be on both Monday and Tuesday starting at 10:30am and 12pm.

Tickets are â&#x201A;Ź8 or â&#x201A;Ź7 if you are in a group of five or more.

Next Saturday from 8PM the Reg will have a trad session that should be checked out, also at Noc Noc there is a live band followed by a resident DJ from 11PM.

Fargo, a show adapted from the Coen brothers 1996 classic of the same name, will have its newest episode out on Sunday: The Heap. The show is excellent, my favourite drama of the year so far.

Briar Patch Born and Bred is a new art exhibition by Laura Gramzow that will be on at the Garter Lanes Art Centre with free admission from 9th June to the 24th July.

Sarah McQuaid is an English musician who makes simple and elegant folk music rarely with more than her voice and an acoustic guitar. She will be playing at the Theatre Royal next Wednesday at 8PM, tickets are â&#x201A;Ź18/16.
