t’s headlines like this, that an Irish start-up company Pillar Healthcare are making. pre-Conceive is a nutritional supplement, designed to improve fertility in both men and women. preConceive is based on hundreds of clinical studies from institutes all over the world.

4 onions, peeled, sliced thinly salt and freshly ground black pepper 450ml/16fl oz chicken stock

Boulangère potatoes are a lighter version of dauphinoise and delicious served with roast chicken and a simple salad. For the roast chicken 1kg/2lb 2oz free-range or organic chicken 5 sprigs thyme 40g butter For the boulangère potatoes 6 potatoes, peeled, sliced thinly

Method Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/ Gas 4. For the roast chicken, rub the butter and thyme leaves onto the skin of the chicken.For the boulangère potatoes, mix the potato and onion slices together in a bowl and season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Transfer the mixture to

a large buttered ovenproof dish and pour over the stock. Transfer the dish to a rack in the lower part of the oven. Place the chicken directly onto the shelf above the potatoes so that any fat from the chicken drips onto the potatoes. Roast for 1½-2 hours, or until the potatoes are tender and golden-brown and the chicken is cooked. (The chicken is cooked through when the juices run clear when pierced in the thickest part with a skewer.) Once cooked, removed from the oven and set aside to rest for 10 minutes.

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?

Anticipate a knowledge test later this week. The good news is that even if you only have a few days to prepare, you could manage this with ease. True, that probably won’t stop you fretting. Yet you may be ready for this challenge. Your competitive streak is set to surface. It might also be that you exceed a personal best. It might be as well to buy a notebook and keep notes of the ideas floated between now and 22nd. Though these might not gain much momentum before the end of next month, it may be that sparks of genius occur. Saturn has left your opposite sign but it hasn’t left the solar system! It’s entirely possible that a working partnership begun in the last two years has reached a turning point. Of course, that might also be a brick wall! Certainly it seems likely that major discussion needs to take place as to how best a situation can be managed. You know very well that talk is cheap and that what really matters is whether or not someone will keep to their word and accept obligations. Before the end of the week you may need to make clear what it is that’s expected and how much effort will be needed to make something work. Mars changes signs and the need to find ‘give and take’ increases. It’s likely that this will be design-connected or that a colleague with big ideas has suggestions that a week ago were irritating but which you now see have real value. The start of the week that might well manifest as a new team entering your sphere. Mars enters your opposite sign on Monday. This might not prove the easiest of transits. Until February 20th you may find that others are more ‘weepy’ and emotional than usual. At a business level - and especially if you’re working with designs and designers, you could find your will is tested.

Tuesday’s Last quarter moon is in your sign. It might help to think back first to March 2014 and then, further back to July 2013 and your birthday period on 2012. Issues raised around each of these periods could come to the fore again but, this time, warrant more care in their resolution. Mars (to whose rhythms your sign seems particularly sensitive) moves to another of the Water signs, Pisces, as of Monday. From the and until February 20th you may find yourself in particularly sensitive mode. This could be as a result of health concerns. Mars arrives in another of the Mutable signs this week and, on Thursday, is at right angles to Saturn (now passing through your sign). It might be as well to view this as a cosmic punctuation mark - and an important one at that. It’s been three long decades since this last happened. It might be as well to anticipate greater contact with both neighbours, siblings and close colleagues over the next couple of weeks. It may be that this is driven by the health care needs of someone important to you both. It’s quite probable that this situation will also require you to travel more. It’s probable that considerable attention will be given to financial matters this week. It may be that your accounts have ‘sprung a leak’. Otherwise, and pleased as you may be to be involved with a group who share your ideas, it could be that the costs of involvement are very high. Mars arrives in your sign to join Neptune. This transit lasts right through until February 20th. You can think of this as bringing an energy and imagination boost. It should be good for designing and, most importantly, for visualising.

Book of the week Pat Divilly - Naked Paleo: Food Stripped Bare (approx €19.95) Effortless weight loss and life-long health’ are the promises of this attractive book, the second by Galway nutritionist and personal trainer Pat Divilly. Yet, even if you’re somewhat sceptical about such claims, the basic principles of using fresh foods in season, meat and seafood, nuts, seeds and healthy oils,

rather than processed foods, make sense for all. There is plenty of food for thought in this book and here’s no doubt that, for some people at least, it is beneﬁcial to avoid gluten, wheat and dairy foods - all of which would have been strangers to our Paleolithic cavemen ancestors who provide the inspiration for the ‘Paleo-friendly’ diet.

7KH :RPDQ LQ %ODFN Full disclosure: I never saw The Woman in Black before seeing the sequel. We all have those movies that we meant to check out but never got around to it for whatever reason, and this was one of mine. Watching the ﬁrst Daniel Radcliffe-led ﬁlm was not a mandatory prerequisite, thankfully. However, upon seeing The Woman in Black 2, any interest I still had in checking it out was quickly smothered. As I understand it, the only links between The Woman in Black and the sequel are the house and the title ghost who haunts it. While the former centers on a recently widowed lawyer (Radcliffe) come to the house to settle the affairs of the deceased, the latter introduces us to the young caretaker of a group of children 40 years later. Because of “The Blitz,” the Nazi aerial bombings against London dur-

ing World War II, Eve (Phoebe Fox) and her headmistress escort these kids to a remote location for safety, as their parents (for various reasons) cannot leave the city. Among the group is Edward (Oaklee Pendergast), whose silence masks the pain of his parents’ death by the most recent attack. Eve’s instinct is to nurture the poor boy, but the headmistress is cold and demands that the boy learn strength. During a lengthy train ride, Eve encounters a handsome pilot who just so happens to be stationed in the same area she’s heading towards. The group soon arrives at the creepy Eel Marsh House, and the movie picks up steam. From the looks of it, you just know some ghostly shenanigans are about to go down -there’s barely any electricity, the structure is falling apart, a fog skulks around the grounds,

and a cross jutting out from the water marks a haunting grave (that of Nathaniel from the first film). Unfortunately, Eve is told that this is the only location available and they’re forced to make the best of it ... that is until the ghost takes a shine to Edward, and starts tormenting Eve and the children. The Woman in Black 2 easily seduces you with its stunning gothic settings and British fashion staples worthy of a classical horror story, and the jump scares do indeed fulfill their purpose. Though, at times these visuals are almost too shadowed to the point where you can’t even see what’s supposed to be making you tremble. I’ll probably go back and check out the first movie one of these days. But thanks to this one, I’m not going out of my way to do so anytime soon.

7DNHQ We currently live in the age of the sequel. Sometimes that’s a good thing. The likes of Before Midnight and Toy Story 3 have proven that you can gloriously extend a franchise’s world and its characters with each additional installment. But then there are those sequels that try and stretch an original ﬁlm’s idea, and only end up making a tepid imitation. Taken 2 did just that to Taken, and now Taken 3 has arrived and sucked the remaining good will and joy from the 2008 action thriller, cementing the franchise’s status as plain old laughable in the process. Which is a shame, because lest we forget that Taken was a rollicking rollercoaster of impressively slick action when it originally hit cinemas. It had nothing else on its mind other than being brainless fun, and despite being as predictable as a sunrise, it delivered what it intended in a brisk, satisfying manner. And of the course, the fact that it was made on a relatively stringent budget and went on to gross $226.8 million always meant that more Bryan Mills tales would follow. Taken 2 duly arrived and was the complete opposite of its predecessor. It had none

of the charm, shocks or thrills of Taken and the fact that it had been rushed into cinemas to capitalize on the original’s success was plainly evident on screen. But it made money. A ton of money. In fact, it grossed even more than Taken. So, depressingly, despite its cavalcade of cinematic atrocities, Taken 3 was immediately greenlit. And I’m here to tell you that it’s just as bad, if not worse, than Taken 2. The cast try their best, especially Forest Whitaker, who adds some nice traits to Inspector Franck Dotzler. It’s impossible, however, to be impressed by Liam Neeson as Bryan Mills because the

men he goes up against are so preposterously inept. You already know why Taken 3 fails. It has the same nauseatingly bad script, predictably tedious plot, offensively clichéd characterization and lifeless action that has populated hundreds of lame action ﬁlms before it. It’s almost offensive that Hollywood regularly feeds us this same hackneyed tripe at least half a dozen times a year. But at the same time it’s soul-destroying that audiences keep lapping it up in their droves. Until we stop, expect these ﬁlms to keep coming, and expect them to, like Taken 3, be a complete waste of time too.
