Due to popular demand this miracle tea arrived in Ireland this summer, exclusive to Therapie Clinics nationwide. ChĂĄ Yi Tea instantly became the fastest selling weight loss tea in the world, and the response has been no different across Ireland.

Clinics have reported waiting list around the country as Therapie have been struggling to meet the demand for tea both in store and online with many customer eager to boost their weight loss using a more holistic approach. Commenting on its unprecedented success, Therapie Clinic MD Phillip McGlade said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The response to ChĂĄ Yi Tea has been fantastic, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ&#x201A;ying off the shelves at Therapie Clinic locations nationwide and we are

struggling to keep up with its demand. The great thing about ChĂĄ Yi Tea is itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 100% natural, certiďŹ ed approved and has proven to be effective in losing weight in a short time frame and more importantly in a safe way.â&#x20AC;?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no wonder weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re mad about this tea, according to reports itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been tried and tested by many health conscious celebrities including Jennifer Lopez, Sophia Dahl and Victoria Beckham.

ChĂĄ Yi Tea has a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;certiďŹ cate of approval for health food made in Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, stating that the ChĂĄ Yi Tea brand of slimming teas has a proven weight loss effect.

It has a number of other beneďŹ ts, apparently; from boosting the metabolic rate and increasing energy levels, to supporting internal organs as you lose weight. The ChĂĄ Yi Tea system is simple; just drink two cups a day. Its premium ingredients are high in natural anti-oxidants

â&#x20AC;&#x201C; if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re already trying to lose weight, drinking ChĂĄ Yi Tea can help you increase your weight loss by as much as 50%.

ChĂĄ Yi Tea is far from your average brew- itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s full of specially selected herbal ingredients to facilitate what scientists call â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;fat oxidationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; - burning the bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fat reserves as fuel.

ChĂĄ Yi Tea helps your body to get rid of the fat rather than store it, while reducing your bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to absorb fat from your food at the same time.

Coupled with a sensible diet and light exercise, ChĂĄ Yi Tea targets the fat stored in your body, doubling the results than you would get from diet and exercise alone.

The ingredients hold all of the answers. In addition to premium oolong tea, it includes a blend of traditional herbs and plants to help purify the bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cells and support the essential organs through the digestive

process. Among the 100% natural ingredients youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll ďŹ nd lotus leaf to optimise digestion and Cassia seeds to support the internal organs. One of the key ingredients is Gynostemma Pentaphyllum (also known as Jiaogulan). It has powerful anti-oxidant properties; helps to regulate the digestive

system and helps to cleanse the body, leaving you with brighter eyes and skin.

ChĂĄ Yi is available from Therapie Clinic Waterford.

Call 051 870 910 or visit www.therapieclinic.com to avail of the October 3 for 2 offer on ChĂĄ Yi Weight Loss Tea.

• Max Casey takes a look at the best of music, film and literature •

),/0 2Q WKH :DWHUIURQW

In 1952, film director Elia Kazan identified eight former communists in the film industry before the House Committee of Un-American Activities and was an act that left him alienated from the art world and brought him many a critic. In response to those critics, Kazan adapted a screenplay by Arthur Miller and turned it into this piece of cinema, a story about a man who decides to bring a corrupt and violent longshoremen union to justice in Red Hook, Brooklyn, a man who is initially made a pariah but eventually seen as a hero by his fellow workers. Miller, who was a critic of Kazan, responded to this with A View from the Bridge, a play also about longshoremen in Red Hook but this time having a man ruin the life of a duo of poor Italian immigrants who had come to the country illegally, in that play he tells the police of the immigrants for purely selfish reasons and is a pariah once more. The two make an interesting double act and help build context for each other. On the Waterfront is a film is full of great actors but the stand out is most definitely Marlon Brando as our main character, Terry Malloy, he’s great for reasons that our difficult to understand today. Before this time, the majority of actors came from the stage, and acting in plays is wholly different from films, plays require you to emote with your body, to keep your voice

loud no matter how quiet the scene is, in cinema the emotions that a stage actor would need to portray with their entire body can be condensed into the face, actors on camera are afforded the convenience of increased subtlety but it took until Brando for this to happen. His subtlety is his strength; he could never have played on the stage. The arc of Terry is traditional, he begins the film not evil but working for the union, falls for a woman and then decides to renounce his old ways, thankfully the character is so well written that you barely notice this tired arc, he is a man brought low by his brother and the mafia, brought down to their level and forced to survive. The cinematography is excellent and requires multiple viewings to truly appreciate: pay attention to when the film uses POV shots.

One of my favourite shots is its final one, its use of sharp angles and large unmoving spaces feels like a true closing, the film is stopping now. I may not agree with Kazan’s decisions and the reasons why he made this, but that doesn’t make it any less of a superb piece of art, On the Waterfront is one of the best and most influential films ever made.

Sometimes it’s easy to forget how far art has come in the last 100 years, when this poem was first released in 1915 it wasn’t even considered poetry, poetry has structure and metre said the critics, and nowadays Eliot and many of his contemporaries are considered some of the greatest and most influential poets of all time. Hysteria was written in free verse, a style of poetry with little to no rhyming, the structure is erratic and spasmodic, it makes use of then innovative techniques like incorporating speech into poetry and can be cacophonic to read; Eliot was only 27 when he wrote this poem and it is clear he is still developing his signature style. Now despite all this, Hysteria is actually quite simple for modernism, which I’m aware is like saying Tipperary is easy to play in hurling because Kilkenny exists but there really isn’t that much that’s difficult here. The poem simply describes a moment of hysteric laughter. The narrator is in fact so enamoured by this that he doesn’t even hear the

waiter, instead hearing him as an echo as the line ‘If the lady and gentleman wish to take their tea in the garden’ is repeated twice in a row.

The poem starts with ‘as she laughed’ which is a strangely jarring way to commence, as

7KH 3KDUF\GH %L]DUUH 5LGH ,,

if it had been already going on for a few lines before we started reading; she laughs and then Eliot begins to laugh as he is ‘becoming involved in her/ laughter and being part of it’. Eliot goes on to describe how he disappears down her throat (figuratively, probably) as the poem progresses, he becomes the laughter, telling the story from the perspective of personified laughter; this poem seems to describe what may have been simply a few seconds that resonated deeply in Eliot. It is unclear whether it is the woman, the narrator or both who are undergoing this hysteria, both the start and the end could imply any of these three possibilities, though in 1915 hysteria was still considered by some to only affect females. 1915 saw many of Eliot’s most wellknown poems being released but Hysteria has always been one I particularly enjoyed, its modernist but accessible, full of depth that can be analysed but also so simple on its surface; simply a fantastic piece of work.

Bizarre Ride II: the Pharcyde is a sort of deadend album, one with a unique sound in a unique place that could have been highly influential if anyone else had bothered to copy it but instead just exists as something that’s brilliant and has a somewhat important point in the genre’s history.

Bizarre Ride was an alternative hip-hop album that came from Los Angeles California in 1992, East and West coast divides were still highly pronounced by this stage and Alternative was almost completely an East coast genre, the West coast was living in the shadow of NWA with G-Funk in its earliest stages. Bizarre Ride didn’t fit in with Alt staples like A Tribe Called Quest or De La Soul or with West coast groups; in many ways the sound sits in between the two and in other ways it’s wholly separate.

The album’s producer was J-Swift who decided on beats that were certainly poppy but not obviously so, the type of sounds that take a listen or two to really start appreciating; this could be attributed to the fact that there is always a lot going on, different samples and skits entering and exiting, different emcees, until you get to grips with it the album can be almost disorientating. The number of emcees is four, all are *wildly* unique to a fascinating extent; I mean I’ve listened to 36 chambers dozens of times and still have trouble identifying who is performing on this song or the other, on Bizarre Ride I could tell the various members apart from the

first time listening. The album has a lot of quirk going for it and is incredibly silly and playful; full of jokes, bursting with character, there is just no album that sounds like this. Bands like The Pharcyde could have been where the Westcoast Hip-Hop was heading, instead, Dr Dre released The Chronic three weeks after this and completely changed the areas direction; G-Funk was probably the biggest hip-hop trend of the 90s. Maybe this was for the best, Pharcyde were definitely different from other Alternative groups but G-Funk simply could not have been produced in New York; regardless Bizarre Ride II: The Pharcyde is an incredible album, possibly the best to come out of the alternative hip-hop genre, and I highly recommend it.

CROSSWORDS The first letter of each answer is written next to its clue in alphabetical order.

One letter has already been entered.

Can you find the words then fit them correctly into the grid?

It may be time to put your observer’s hat on. Note how you’re attracting original thinkers into your world. Note too how certain people dress and how some definitely complement your style. It’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 you’re likely to be more in tune with yourself than you have been. True, that might also be because you realise you’ve come to the end of the road as regards a working partnership. It may be that you’ve given this all the energy that you can.

You know that thing you do when you’re upset: that withdrawal into your shell?

There’s a possibility you might want to do just that toward the weekend - but perhaps not for ‘negative’ reasons’. Fact is that it seems you’re on the threshold of a breakthrough (assuming you haven’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 it’s at this point that you may feel better able to voice disquiet at plans. It’s not that you’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.

'RZQ O. Taxing (7) P. Monetary (9) R. Parts of a ladder (5) S. Hallowed (6) S. Time of year (6) S. Creep (5) T. Mock (5) T. Betrayal (7) T. Shudder (6) T. Branch of a river (9) U. Common (5) V. Planet (5) Y. Units of time (5)

Think back to August last year and the connections you made then. Which of these require attention? It’s very likely that an investment (probably of time) might now require a little cash too. If there’s an issue here it’s perhaps that a close colleague or partner doesn’t share your aim.

'RZQ E. Malevolent (4) K. Rope fastening (4) L. Departing (7) R. Dried grapes (7) R. Responded (7) R. Majestic (5) S. Fusillade (5) S. Vicious (6) S. Scandinavian buffet (11) T. Topic (5) T. One of three (7) V. Assorted (7) W. Author (6)

On Saturday, Saturn, still moving through your sign, opposes the Sun. You experienced this transit last year too. This represents something of a cosmic ‘full stop’ 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. It’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 you’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 you’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 you’re one of them.

Perhaps that’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 ‘dressing-room’ this week.

SLIEVERUE TYRES

09 October 2014

ABBEYLANDS BUSINESS PARK, ABBEYLANDS, FERRYBANK 087-3699699 No matter how good the car you’re driving is, its overall performance is directly governed by the quality of its tyres and the grip they provide. Yet, it is not uncommon for many road drivers to continue to drive on bad or worn-out tyres.

Your tyres play a vital role in your driving safety and their importance cannot be understated.

Nobody understands that better than the professional people at Slieverue Tyres.

The Ferrybank company know that it is absolutely essential that your tyres have good, deep-tread channels to deal with wet conditions, as autumn folds and winter starts to bite. If your tyre is worn out, the remaining tread cannot adequately disperse the water at the contact patch. What happens next is that a film of water is sandwiched between the tyre and the road surface. Once this

happens the grip totally disappears, this is known as aquaplaning.

Bald tyres are extremely dangerous and you are taking your life and the lives of your passengers in hand because there is no tread to pump the water away and the car will be slipping and sliding as soon as the rain arrives.

So when should you replace your tyres? That’s a good question and an easy one to answer.

Tyres have wear indicators that tell you when the tread is too low. Look closely at the shoulder of the tyre and you’ll notice a number of marker arrows. These are about 30cm apart around the edge of the tyre and point to the indicators location. The wear indicators are raised bumps, around 1.6mm high, in the main channels of the tread itself.

A new tyre has about 8-9mm of tread depth, but as we drive the tread wears down. Once it wears down to the top of the wear bars it’s time to fit some new rubber.

When this time arrives it pays to talk with a tyre specialist like Slieverue Tyres about the type of tyre that will best suit your motoring needs and keep you and your passengers safe.

Also, David Purcell points out at Slieverue Tyres, you’ll need to ensure that your car has its wheels correctly aligned. An incorrect wheel alignment will greatly reduce the tyre’s life.

Driving a car with a bad wheel alignment will just scrub off the tread and wear the tyre unevenly.

You can have a situation where the tyre has quite good tread on the outside shoulder but the inside is down to the canvas.

Watch out for things like steering vibrations or the car tracking to one side.

David Purcell says it is very important to check your tyre’s pressure on a weekly basis, say when you fill up your tank or having the car washed, and inspect the tyres regularly for any sign of uneven wear or damage. If you suspect that something’s not right, get it checked by the professionals at Slieverue Tyres as soon as possible.

Buzz of the week Sex And The City 3?

Fans can breathe a sigh of relief It looks like a third film in the series is on its way. Jennifer Hudson, who played Carrie Bradshaw’s assistant in the first film, confirmed at the weekend that a third film is under consideration. Speaking to Dish Nation.

“Somebody just came to me talking about that, so if it’s in the talks, it might happen”. Hudson’s news is the latest to come out of the Sex And the

City 3 camp, after producer Michael Patrick King told Entertainment Weekly back in February that they had “one story left”. Just days later, Sarah Jessica Parker said: “Michael and I know what that story would be but, when and if it is ever told, there has been no concrete discussion about it ever.” It looks like a lot has changed over the past few months.

Will keep you posted.

TV of the week Love/Hate (RTE1, Sunday, 9.30pm) It has to be, for by now you will be well and truly sucked in after last Sunday’s kick-off of Season 5 and know that good ol’ Nidge didn’t succumb to the assassin at the end of last year’s cliff-hanger but slunk off, like the best of them, to join the Oirish mob on the sunny costa-what-have-you. Having regrouped, he is back on home turf looking after Darren, Linda and the gang, know what I mean like...

Meanwhile, all his old enemies are out for their pound of flesh – and coke - and no hiding place seems in sight. Stuart Carolan’s writing has been ace from the offset, the acting superb, production values spot-on and, after last week’s opener, there is little doubt that this run will be one for our money. There is already talk of season 6. The best thing RTE has done, bar none. Nidge, Nidge, know what I mean...

Album of the week Stevie Nicks, 24 Karat Gold Songs From The Vault (Warner Bros) The ‘vault’ aspect of the title refers to this fine collection of songs from the former frontwoman of Fleetwood Mac that, although only now released, were written back in the day when Mac ruled the turntable for a lot of young post-hippie rock heads. A very fine collection it is too, with more than a tinge of past hits like Rhiannon and Landside. Starshine, the hypnotic opener, is full-throttle Mac-style but the outstander has to be Hard Advice, which is a beautiful lullaby about lingering love, more than a passing nod to Nicks’ former boyfriend and band-mate Lindsey Buckingham. Rumours (sic) has it, they were the best days of their lives. Nicks and the band are back on the road to mark the 35th anniversary of Rumours.

THOUGHT OF THE WEEK Help make Irish roads safer With National Road Safety Week upon us, here’s a few sobering thoughts regarding driving and the Irish. Ever wonder why the 50kph spped limit came about as 30mph? A pedestrian hit by a car at 50kph has a 97.5% chance of survival; at 60kph that goes down to 50% and at 70kph that falls to just 10%. Statistics last weekend showed

Film of the week Dracula Untold (15A, nationwide) In the same week that authorities say they have found the grave of the real Dracula, Vlad The Impaler, comes this piece of enjoyable hokum-pokum. It’s a very different scenario from the old Hammer Horror outings.

Here we have Luke Evans getting his teeth into the part of Prince Vlad of Transylvania, the original of the species, and given the moniker The Impaler because of his appetite for skewering his

enemies. Debut director Gary Shore bleeds, I mean milks, this for all it’s worth with heaps of style and not without wit. When not busy with the skewer, Vald is a thoroughly decent sort of skin who adores his wife and son and gets on with his army of mates.

But of course, all is not what it seems, for Vlad’s a bit of a lad don’t you know, and a thirsty one at that. Oh dear, it’s all going to end in blood and tears.

that 69% of us exceed the imposed 50kph speed limit in built-up areas: this is where the majority of pedestrians, school children and family pets most congregate, not to mention parked vehicles and farming machinery. Yet, it’s here and not on the motorway that the majority of motoring accidents occur, the majoiry with fatalalities result.

App of the Week Ask A Doctor (IOS, free) How many times have you had a medical question, not urgent but occupying your thoughts, but you just can’t get to the doctor right now. This app gives you access to a qualified GP, American I’d say, who will endeavour to answer your query. What’s great is you get the answer, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. All you do is memo your concern, send a pic if

you like of, say, that dubious rash, and press send, And await the response. I feel tempted to say you should always consult your GP first before using this app but that kind of defeats its purpose.

Technology has come a long way since I remember a neighbour of ours cycling eight miles in the middle of the night to fetch the d o c for my ailing brother.

Book of the Week Lines Of Vision – Irish Writers On Art (National Gallery Of Ireland) Roddy Doyle, Colm Toibin and John Banville are just some of the 50 literary giants featured in this collection and whose particular pieces for the anthology to mark the gallery’s 150-year anniversary were inspired by paintings on display at the National Gallery. For example, a poem Seamus Heaney finished 10 days before he died sees the Nobel laureate exploring the quiet beauty

of a canal painted by French artist Gustave Caillebotte, where time is slowed to “a walking pace” and “world stands still”. Not surprisingly, it’s called Banks Of A Canal. The collection is edited by Janet McLean, the gallery’s curator of European art 1850-1950, with each literary contribution accompanied by the painting that sparked the writer’s creativity.

7KH %R[WUROOV Laika Entertainment has earned a reputation for crafting captivating handcrafted stop-motion animation with Coraline and ParaNorman. The intense detailing that goes into their ďŹ lms makes them an instant must-see for animation lovers. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s their distinctive look and challenging storytelling that capture the imagination of children of all ages. By my count, The Boxtrolls is their most daring and delightful ďŹ lm yet.

Based on the Alan Snow book Here Be Monsters!, The Boxtrolls is set in a dystopian town that is tense with fear over the titular creatures. In the ďŹ lmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ rst scene, we see a troll wearing a box run off with a baby as a human bellows in protest off screen. This is Archibald Snatcher, a lowerclass cad who aims to climb the social ranks of a cheeseloving society by exterminating the Boxtrolls that local

0HQ :RPHQ &KLOGUHQ With all due respect to the male actors in the cast, I walked out of Jason Reitmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest drama Men, Women and Children in awe of the ladiesâ&#x20AC;Ś and its their troubling stories that continue to stick with me weeks after that initial screening.

If you have heard anything about Jason Reitmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s adaptation of Chad Kultgenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s novel, you know that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Internetâ&#x20AC;? (in a broad sense), and about how technology affects several members of a small Texas community. Reitman weaves through roughly 5 to 10 individual stories which intersect as Men, Women and Children probes its subjects â&#x20AC;&#x201C; sometimes deeply, sometimes superďŹ cially. He doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t judge.

He just observes, and waits for the audience to recognize and empathize with the characters of our choosing.

So why am I gravitating to the stories of three women?

Because of the outstanding performances of Judy Greer, Jennifer Garner and Rosemarie DeWitt, all playing suburban wives and mothers with vastly different problems to bear. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily relate to any of them. Garnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s character is an overprotective shrew who monitors her only daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

every virtual move â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not noticing how the young girl is maturing outside of her motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s harsh gaze. And Greer plays an accidental monster â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a mom who thinks she is helping her teenage daughter with her online modeling career. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a ďŹ ne line between â&#x20AC;&#x153;legitimate online modelingâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;madeto-order child porn,â&#x20AC;? though.

To be honest, I still feel that Jason Reitman is at his best when he has a story to tell.

The contemplative and engrossing Up in the Air, as an example, remains his high point (no pun intended). But

the director seems content to linger on larger character studies in Men, Women and Children, capturing different types of people who are struggling to ďŹ nd their place in a tech-heavy time.

Reitman himself will tell you that Thank You For Smoking isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t about cigarettes, Juno isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t about teen pregnancy, and Men, Women and Children isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t about the Internet. All of those ďŹ lms are about people, and from where I was sitting, the women emerged at the end with the better stories to tell.

legend insists steal babies and gobble them up. But weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re quickly given access to the real subterranean life of Boxtrolls, who only eat bugs, and come to the surface for spare parts to fuel their cultureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deepseated need to invent.

Among them lives Eggs, the boy who grows up believing heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of them. But as more

and more of his Boxtroll family is abducted by Snatcher, Eggs is forced to venture out on his own. (His peers are too timid by nature.) Meeting Winnie, an outspoken young girl with a deliciously morbid interest in the Boxtrolls, he discovers a partner in his quest to ďŹ nd--and if possible free--his snatched away adoptive father, Fish. All in all, The Boxtrolls is spectacular. In retrospect, its main plot is a bit straightforward. But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s less of an issue for a childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s movie. Moreover, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to care when watching it unfurl is so much damn fun! Lush with texture, details, and jokes, The Boxtroll is a feast for the eyes as well as a jaunty ride.

Between its lively and colorful world, its rousing story, adorable heroes, willful silliness and daring The Boxtrolls isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just a superb movie for the whole family, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the best animated ďŹ lm of the year.

The age-old problem of minding family Talking the talk with Paul Hopkins

I

remember my father after his second heart attack, in the convalescent home, and he said to me, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to be in an institution, a homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. And I remember thinking as I looked into his still boyish-blue eyes, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Could I really have you come live with me should it come to that?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as it happened â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the next bang got him â&#x20AC;&#x201D; so I never had to answer that question. Given that I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know who was the more contrary at that stage in our lives, would we have ended up rubbing each other up the wrong way?

And then, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s be honest, most of the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;looking afterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; him would have fallen to the mother of my FKLOGUHQ ZKR IRXQG KLP GLIÂż FXOW DW WKH EHVW RI times, though she never shirked from that possible responsibility.

I mention all this because a report this week says there is a rise in the number of families having to care for ageing parents â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as well as adult children â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and it could all end in tears, with the end of any notion of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;comfortableâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; middle age.

A study predicts increasing â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;resentmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; among those in their 40s and 50s who are having to take on increased responsibilities for family â&#x20AC;&#x201D; while working longer before drawing that very muchdiminished pension. These â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;burdensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; mean fewer will be able to use the pre-retirement years to pay RII PRUWJDJHV DQG IXOÂż OO OLIHWLPH DPELWLRQV

Twenty odd years ago, when the notion of a pension hit me, I thought that, come that day, I would be comfortably well-off, with mortgage and all-and-sundry paid for. Sub-lending, austerity and Âż VFDO FOLIIV ZHUH QRW SDUW RI RXU ODQJXDJH This weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s study reveals the number of people having to look after their aged parents is set to rise by up to a quarter in the next decade.

The wonderful woman in my life, with her three siblings, ensures that her mother is never not accounted for, is always overnight in one house or the other â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in fact, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a regular roster â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and, even at 90 come December, and after a major health setback three years ago, her mother still maintains her own sense of independence and still keeps her own house in order. This, though, is not

the picture for many who live well into their 80s.

As an aside, it was only a generation or two ago that one offspring in a family was often left looking after an aged parent, holding the fort in the parental home. I remember my fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s youngest sister doing that. She lost out on life and love and a family of her own. But I never once heard her complain about looking after â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;mammyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

Back to the report: another salient point is that we middle-agers are also facing the annoyance of children aged 20 to 35 increasingly staying home, because they cannot afford a place of their own. And PDQ\ DUH KDYLQJ WR Âż QDQFLDOO\ VXSSRUW WKHLU JURZQ up kids as well.

Talking Business with Sarah Bolger DO you ever remember as a child throwing a blanket over your head and running around until you ran into a door?

This illustrates perfectly what it is like to try and grow a business without doing market research.

When people think of industry research, they may sometimes have a vision of a SHUVRQ ORFNHG DZD\ LQ DQ RIÂż FH surrounded by paper work and getting lost in a sea of knowledge, which they struggle to grasp.

A job thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time consuming, pointless and only for expertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to conduct.

However, with our online

abilities, information on industries, trends, competitors, and best practice companies, has never been so accessible.

You ( Yes, you! ) can conduct a quick but intensive overview of your industry, your position within the market, along with your competitors position by simplify dedicating a small amount of time each month to gain a understanding of what you need to do to be responsive to your customers changing needs and wants.

These small hours each month will ensure you are always proactive, forward thinking and ahead of the game, allowing you to improve your products, services, marketing efforts, and customer service.

To begin your market research, create headings similar to below.

These will help you structure your market research time and set objectiveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to ensure on completing research you have learned and gained valuable and tangible information to move your business forward.

Examples include: Â&#x2021; +RSSLQJ 6NLSSLQJ Â&#x2021;-XPSLQJ Â&#x2021; 5XQQLQJ *\PQDVWLFV .DUDWH and all types of dancing Â&#x2021; 7HQQLV +RFNH\ %DVNHWEDOO

Any form of exercise is good for your general health

Muscle strengthening exercises are also important in maintaining and improving bone health.

These include activities where you move your body, a weight or some resistance against gravity.

Examples include: Â&#x2021; /LIWLQJ ZHLJKWV Â&#x2021; 8VLQJ HODVWLF H[HUFLVH EDQGV Â&#x2021; 8VLQJ ZHLJKW PDFKLQHV Â&#x2021; /LIWLQJ \RXU RZQ ERG\ ZHLJKW Any form of exercise is good for your general health but unfortunately common nonweight bearing activities such as cycling and swimming do not help in building strong bones.

Therefore it is important that these exercises are combined with any from the above lists.

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on the menu?

ROAST HAKE FILLETS WITH CHERRY TOMATOES, BASIL AND MOZZARELLA I SPOTTED this nice take on Hake in Neven Maguireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new book The Nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Favourite Food .

Hake has a beautiful soft and delicate texture and when you cook it in the style of this recipe it makes a more substantial meal of it.

INGREDIENTS Hake Fillets 4x175g

THOMPSONâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S

Ashley Thompson of Thompsons CarryOut Offlicence, Ferrybank, Waterford would pair The Granaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Roast Hake Fillets with Cherry Tomatoes, Basil and Mozzarella with a fantastic little range of German Wheat beers From Schneider Weisse.

He writes: G. Schneider & Sohn is a Bavarian brewery company founded in 1872 by Georg Schneider I and his son Georg Schneider II, after they acquired the Weisses Brauhaus in Munich, the oldest wheat beer brewery in the city.

In 1927 ,the owners, who to this day are descendants of Georg Schneider I, expanded their brewing operations into Kelheim and Straubing after the breweries in Munich were destroyed in 1944 by bombing.

Weissbier means â&#x20AC;&#x153;white beerâ&#x20AC;? in German.

The name derives from the yellowish-

Cherry Tomatoes,thinly sliced x12 Buffalo Mozzarella,sliced x120g Basil pesto 2xtbs Salt and freshly ground Black Pepper Preheat the oven to 200c Place the Hake on a baking sheet,skin side down,and season with salt and pepper.Arrange the tomato slices on top to cover the fish.Top the tomatoes with

mozzarella and then drizzle over the pesto.

Bake for 15 minutes, until the mozzarella is bubbling and lightly golden.

This will make a perfect supper dish when served with baby potatoes and a green salad. *The Granary CafĂŠ is on Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connell Street, Waterford

And what to drink with it....

And what it.... white tinge that is imparted by the to pale drink roasty aromaswith of toasted malts. malted wheat from which the brew is made. In North America, the brew is more commonly called Hefeweizen (literally â&#x20AC;&#x153;yeast wheatâ&#x20AC;?), because it is unfiltered, meaning the yeast remains in suspension and causes the beer to look slightly turbid. Filtered, clear Weissbier, incidentally, is called Kristallweizen (â&#x20AC;&#x153;crystal wheatâ&#x20AC;?).

There are also dark wheat beers. These are called Dunkelweizen (â&#x20AC;&#x153;dark wheatâ&#x20AC;?).

Schneider Weisse offer a whole range of different styles of wheat beer, ranging from Tap 1 to Tap 11 and their powerful Eisbock at 12% ABV. Depending on your tastes , preferences & ABV strengths , these beers can offer a whole range of complex flavours with subtle notes of ripe bananas, raisins, plums liquorice , bitter spicy hops and

In conjunction with the subtlety of the hake fillets and the sweetness of the tomatoes and basil, there is something here for all to enjoy . A personal favourite of mine , would be TAP5 Meine Hopfenweisse (8.2% ABV), a new wheat beer style , a shiny golden, slightly reddish strong wheat doppelbock. An intense floral aroma that reminds of tropical fruit and pineapple. An exotic fruity sweetness meets with fireworks of hops.

This extreme wheat beer shows how far wheat beer taste can go and pairs very well with most subtle to rich dishes . Schneider Weisse is available in Thompsons CarryOut Offlicence, Ferrybank, Waterford.

eing different has always been what Lexusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; GS has been about in the full-sized executive saloon segment. Hence its 2006 introduction of the kind of pioneering petrol electric hybrid engine that rivals like BMWâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 5 Series, the Mercedes E-Class and the Audi A6 have only just got around to matching. But match it they have, which has led to a thorough re-think of this car by the Japanese brand in fourth generation form.

The most obvious improvement would have been to equip it with the kind of diesel engine that most European buyers in this segment seem to want, but that wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t viable given that almost all GS production is sold in America and Japan where thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no interest in fuelling from the black pump.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be a rare choice. But might it not be a rather clever one? Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ÂżQG RXW Driving Experience So whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the GS experience like? Very quiet, is the answer at the wheel of the GS450h hyEULG YHUVLRQ 6LOHQFH ZKHQ ÂżUVW you begin and push the starter button. Silence when you ease through slow-moving rush hour WUDIÂżF WKH SHWURO 9 HQJLQH FXWting in only above 25mph, unless youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve a particularly heavy right foot. Like most hybrids, the car can trickle along powered by the 288V nickel metal-hydride battery pack only (as it is from start-off) or more usually, with a

combination of both battery and engine, something you can monitor via a graphic display in the centre of the dash.

What all this cleverness creates is not only an environmentallyminded Executive saloon but also a very powerful one that glides away from rest, then storms forward as if magnetically attracted by the horizon. If you keep you ULJKW IRRW SODQWHG ÂżUPO\ WR WKH Ă&#x20AC;RRU LQ WKH *6 K VL[W\ IURP a standing start is demolished in just 5.9s on the way to a top speed necessarily limited to 155mph.

And the option of choosing an F-Sport model that, as well as stiffer springs and dampers, gives you what Lexus calls â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;AVSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

- â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Adaptive Variable Suspensionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; - accessible via an extra more dynamic â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Sport Plusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; setting. Go for the top GS450h F-Sport and this is also combined for a four wheel steering system.

Summary This is a refreshing car in so many ways. Instead of simply copying its competitors in the full-sized executive saloon segment, Lexus continues to take a different approach with this

fourth generation GS. You could ask why thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no diesel engine - but in doing so, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d also have to answer the question as to why one might be needed when in hybrid form, this car can match the fuel and CO2 returns of any direct comparably performing V6 diesel rival you care to name, and GR VR ZLWK JUHDWHU UHÂżQHPHQW DQG less poisonous emissions from cheaper fuel. Of course, going the hybrid route in this Lexus is

hardly inexpensive, hence the importance of the more conventional GS250 petrol V6 model, a key stepping stone between the brandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s affordable compact IS and CT models and the plusher luxury hybrids further up the range. But if you can afford it, the GS450h is the version of this car youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll really want - and for once perhaps, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get some support from your accountant in choosing such a premium purchase.

compressing the back during deep back bends, trying to bring the curve over the full length of the spine rather than just the lumber region.

Daffy Duck back Yoga poses and exercises that will help a Daffy Duck back are ones like lunges that will open the front of the hip ï¬&#x201A;exors, but be careful not to allow the lower back to arch in this position.

Also forward folds help release tightness in the lower back, assisting in decompressing the lumbar region from its exaggerated C shape.

It is important to ensure that

the bend occurs over the whole of the back and not just the shoulders.

When initially tackling a postural imbalance itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good idea to place a little more focus on the postures that will ease out chronically tight areas and release tension, rather than going straight to the strengthening exercises.

By Trish Hayden OUR BODIES have a way of balancing themselves so sometimes people with bad posture donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have pain or muscle tension and cope perfectly well.

However there are some postural stances that can cause back pain in various ways. One of the most common is the alignment of the pelvis.

Sometimes it tilts a little too far forward from normal and causes a large arch in the back called hyperlordosis of the lumbar spine, or it tilts back, causing the back to ï¬&#x201A;atten, called hypolordosis.

A great way of visualising these two postures is Daffy Duck for the larger lumbar curve and Pink Panther for the ï¬&#x201A;atter back.

In this article weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll talk about lumbar hyperlordosis (Daffy Duck!). The cause could be genetics, habit or even old injuries.

Tight hip ï¬&#x201A;exors and weak abdominals can often be present with this posture.

Although be careful not to focus solely on strengthening the abdominal muscles

without balancing with work on the back muscles, as this can contribute to a further pulling forward.

Aches and pains The iliopsoas muscles, also known as the hip ï¬&#x201A;exors, are often tight or shortened in people with hyperlordosis. This can be aggravated by sitting for

long periods of time in chairs.

Both hip ï¬&#x201A;exors muscles share a common insertion point at the top of the thigh bone and when they are chronically shortened they pull the pelvis forward, creating an anterior tilt, which pulls the lumbar spine into greater lordosis.

Hyperlordosis can lead to

aches and pains from tightened postural muscles along the spine, or occasionally pinching of the facet joints (where the bony edges of vertebrae meet on the posterior side of the spine).

Therefore, in yoga, someone with a hyperlordotic back needs to be watchful of
