This is a rearward-facing Group 0+/1 Isofix Seat. Suitable from Circa 6 months to 4 years. Extended Rearward facing is the safest way to travel with your child in the car. By law all children should remain reward facing in Ireland up to 9kgs. Across Europe especially Scandinavia it is normal to keep your child rearward facing until 18kgs.

Rearward Facing is 5 x Saver Be Safe seats allow rearward facing for longer. Up to 25kgs Be Safe Izi Plus. Frontal accidents are the most common accidents @ 47% and those where the forces are most severe. The best way to protect yourself in a head on collision is Rearward facing.

Travelling rear ward facing will greatly reduce the stress on the neck When a collision occurs at 50kmph (31mph) the stress on the neck of a child that weighs 15kg and is seat in a forward facing position will be the equivalent of 180-220kg. If a child is facing rearward facing the stress would be reduced to 4060kgs and most importantly this is below the level Doctors suggest is liable to cause critical injury or worse. Furthermore the seat will protect the child from debris flying around the car.

Young Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heads are heavier relative to their total body A childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s body is not a simple miniature of a fully grown adult. The most relevant difference is the size of the head. For a baby that is 5 months old,

Students on WITâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s broad mix of part-time courses at the Instituteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main campus

the head represents 25% of its body weight. For an adult the head represents 6%. This difference adds to the stress on the neck in a frontal impact.

The statistics speak for themselves Statisitcs how proven that in Germany there is a distinct increase in serious and fatal accidents when children switch from a rear to a forward facing position at approx 12mths of age. In Sweden, however, where children switch at 3-4 years, figures have shown children have a 5 times greater chance of surviving and/or avoiding serious injury if sitting rear facing rather that forward facing in the car.

PlusTest Sweden is world-leading when it comes to a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s safety in a car. In order to stay ahead they have introduced the PlusTest, one of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most demanding tests for car seats. Not many seats have passed the PlusTest, all that have are rear facing.

Scandinavian safety Well embedded in Scandinavian traditions, the core values of BeSafe are safety is our main priority and we are dedicated to developing the safest possible car seats for children of all ages. To improve the safely of your child, have them seated rear facing for as long as possible.

BeSafe rear facing car seats offer MORE leg room, MORE recline and MORE back height, so be sure to buy BeSafeâ&#x20AC;¦built to last longer.

Super Slimming Weight Loss Tea Causes a Stir! Yes, it’s really true folks.... an ancient Chinese Lotus Leaf tea or Yo Chi Tea as it is known, is becoming a global sensation! You see, this is simply no ordinary tea; far from it in fact, this is an amazing revolutionary tea blend which, because of its ancient Chinese herbal properties, is helping people everywhere to shed excess weight quickly, naturally and safely, simply by drinking two cups of it every day. Weight loss and detox could not be any easier than this, ever! Already, everyone wants to get their hands on this natural miracle worker and let’s face it why wouldn’t they? Already, J-Lo is singing its praises (sorry, we couldn’t resist that little pun!), blissfully sipping it till her heart’s content as she marvels at its ben-

efits in terms of weight loss. Oprah too is a firm believer in it so if it is good enough for two of the world’s biggest showbiz celebs, we are pretty sure it is more than just a little bit good! The good news? Yo Chi is available in Ireland, exclusive to Therapie Clinic. 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 customers eager to aid new year weight loss using a more holistic approach. Commenting on its arrival at Therapie Clinic, Manager Sarah Cagney said: “The response to Yo Chi Tea so far has been fantastic, it’s flying off the shelves! The great thing about Yo Chi Tea is it’s 100% natural, and has been proven to be effective in

aiding weight loss and detox in a easy, safe way” The blend contains Lotus Leaf, Oolong green tea and number of other ancient Chinese herbs, all of which have been specially selected because of their proven natural ability to purify and cleanse the body, and to essentially act as a nuisance in stopping the body from storing up food as excess weight, and burn excess fat which is stored in the body! Drinking Yo Chi weight loss tea can help to increase weight loss by up to 50%! Yo Chi Tea is exclusively available from Therapie Clinic nationwide, including Barronstrand Street in Waterford. Simply call them direct on 051 870 910 to order or ﬁnd out more on www.yochitea.com.

App of the week Dull iOS (free) The best of the internet is waiting for your dull moments. Dull taps into that a very common habit: Using certain apps to ﬁll in the dull (get it?) moments of the day. Dull isn’t meant to replace any dedicated news reader, but instead provides a ﬁlter for trending topics on a variety of social networks, constantly taking the pulse of

the viral internet. With its new update, the app gamiﬁes that reading experience by integrating with Apple’s Game Center. Now leader boards show how much time you spend on the app, which may sound fun for some, but is personally information I probably wouldn’t want to know. Smartphone use ignorance is bliss.

You will also ﬁnd the most stunning range of silver and gold jewellery and fashionable watches.

Cafe of the week Bistro on the Dole, 11a O’Connell Street, Waterford Bistro on the Dole is a traditional Polish restaurant located in Waterford city. Great food, friendly staff and an amazing atmosphere with brilliant service overall. A recent review on Trip Adviser described it as “one of the most underrated restaurants in Waterford... The food is absolutely fantastic! There is a good choice in the menu without being

Book of the week The Storyteller, by Jodi Piccault (approx €11.95) Sage Singer is a baker, a loner, until she befriends an old man who’s particularly beloved in her community. Josef Weber is everyone’s favorite retired teacher and Little League coach. One day he asks Sage for a favour: to kill him. Shocked, Sage refuses – and then he confesses his darkest secret – he deserves to die because he had been a Nazi SS guard. And

Sage’s grandmother is a Holocaust survivor. How do you react to evil living next door? Can someone who’s committed truly heinous acts ever atone with subsequent good behaviour? Should you offer forgiveness to someone if you aren’t the party who was wronged? And, if Sage even considers the request, is it revenge…or justice?

overwhelming...Most dishes are served with fries/mash and a selection of salads. Everything is so so fresh. Another advantage is the portions are quite large so you leave the restaurant satisﬁed and full. Opening hours: Tuesday – Saturday, 12pm – 9pm (closed Mondays). For more information visit their website: www.bistroonthedole.com

Album of the week In the Lonely Hour, by Sam Smith (approx €9.00) “This album is supposed to be the soundtrack to those quiet moments in life,” says Sam Smith of his debut collection, In The Lonely Hour. If you’re looking for more electronica from Smith, save charttopping single ‘Money on My Mind’, you won’t ﬁnd it on In The Lonely Hour. The Two Inch

Punch-produced track is a ﬁzzy opening for an album that wallows in heartache. It’s a direction Smith admits he panicked about at ﬁrst, but is one that allows his soulful vocal to take charge. It’s a fearlessly vulnerable debut in all senses of the word, but largely, the mastered result hits all the right marks.

Alternative Therapy of the Week Holistic Haven, Wharton House, 8 Catherine Street, Waterford Joanne Prendergast, a Reiki Master Practitioner is the founder of Holistic Haven. A qualiﬁed Social Care Worker, Joanne works in a therapeutic community that cares for young people who have experienced trauma in early life.

For more more information visit: www.holistichavenhealing.ie

DVD of the Week Maps to the Stars (approx €16.99) Julianne Moore, John Cusack and Mia Wasikowska star in this drama directed by David Cronenberg. Havana Segrand (Moore) is a mature actress struggling for work that her agent Stafford Weiss (Cusack) can’t provide. While Stafford’s wife Christina (Olivia Williams) is occupied with managing the life and schedule of their child star son Benjie (Evan Bird), who has

just been released from rehab at the age of 13, their shunned daughter Agatha (Wasikowska) returns from a private sanatorium where she was being treated for criminal pyromania. As more details emerge about the reasons for Agatha’s incarceration, Havana delves deeper into her own problems as she tries to confront the abuse she experienced as a child.

Console Game of the week LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham (PS3) (approx €44.99)

Board Game of the Week Forbidden Island (approx €19.99) Join a team of fearless adventurers on a do-or-die mission to capture four sacred treasures from the ruins of this perilous paradise. Your team will have to work together and make some pulse-pounding manoeuvres, as the island will sink beneath every step. Race to collect the treasures and make a triumphant escape before you are swallowed into

the watery abyss. There are so many things to love about this unique game: from the rich illustrations, to the collaborative nature of play. Don’t be surprised if your pulse starts pounding faster soon after you start playing – it’s a game that instantly generates an electrifying atmosphere of tension and excitement.

Knight is out in space on a cosmic adventure. Braniac, who’s more often known for bothering Superman, has been stealing entire cities, shrinking them down using the power of Lantern rings to add them to his sinister collection. Gameplay is, as series fans will expect, along the usual LEGO lines.

DEE E KAVANAGH

This is the most ambitious LEGO game starring the Caped Crusader yet. While it does, of course, have Batman and Robin front and centre, it could almost have been called ‘LEGO DC Superheroes’, such is the size of the cast and the scope of the adventure. The ‘Beyond Gotham’ part of the title is certainly justiﬁed. This time out, the Dark

SMOKY BEAN CHILLI WITH QUINOA

This delicious and nutritious bean stew gets its smoky flavour from chipotle paste, made from smoked jalapeno peppers.

Mary Ryan from Spring Garden Alley and Teresa Campion

INGREDIENTS For the chipotle stew 2 tbsp olive oil, 2 medium onions, sliced, 1 yellow pepper, deseeded, cut into chunks, 1 medium sweet potato (approximately 300g/10Â˝oz), peeled, cut into chunks, 1 tsp ground coriander, 1 tbsp plain flour, 400g tin chopped tomatoes, 2 tbsp chipotle paste (available at larger supermarkets and delicatessens), 400g tin cannellini beans, rinsed and drained, 400g tin red kidney beans, rinsed and drained, saltÂ and freshly ground black pepper, soured cream, to

serve (optional)

For the coriander quinoa 150g/5oz quinoa, rinsed, 1 ripe but firm avocado, halved, stone removed, flesh scooped out, 1 lime, juice only, 4 spring onions, finely sliced, 1Â˝ tbsp chopped fresh coriander, plus extra to garnish, salt and freshly ground black pepper METHOD Heat the oil in a large heavy-based saucepan over a medium heat. Add the onions and fry for 2-3 minutes, stirring well. Add the pepper and sweet potato and fry for 3-4 minutes. Sprinkle over the coriander and flour, stir to combine, continue to fry for 30-40 seconds. Add the chopped tomatoes, chipotle paste, beans and 600ml/20fl oz cold water

to the saucepan. Stir well to combine and season with salt and pepper. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 18-20 minutes, stirring more and more regularly as the cooking time progresses, until all of the vegetables are tender. Add water if it starts to dry out. Meanwhile, for the quinoa, half-fill a saucepan with water and bring to the boil. Add the quinoa, stir well, then simmer for 12-15 minutes, or until just tender. Cut the avocado into chunks and drizzle over the lime juice. Drain the quinoa and put in a large bowl. Set aside to cool for 3-5 minutes, then fluff with a fork. Stir in the avocado, spring onions and coriander. Season with salt and pepper and mix well.Spoon the quinoa onto plates and top with a ladleful of the stew. Serve a dollop of soured cream alongside.

CROSSWORDS The first letter of each answer is written next to its clue in alphabetical order. Can you find the words then fit them correctly into the grid?

It appears you’re ready to ‘change channel’ - most probably because you’re now seeing opportunities. Though it some level you might feel the need to ingratiate yourself with someone whom you think could help, there’s high probability that whatever happens will be down to your courage and need to drive things forward. Later this week the Sun, Venus and Mars all change signs. Obviously all signs should feel the energy shift. For you there might now be need to go back over all that’s been thought and discussed since the start of the year - and to adapt your plan for 2015 in the light of all you’ve learnt since then. Later this week the Sun, Venus and Mars change signs. You could think of this as a refuelling stop where you also get a car wash and a meal - so that by the end of the week you’re well set-up for the next stage of your journey. Make sure to be on it. This week the Sun moves into another of the Water signs coinciding almost exactly with both Venus and Mars arriving in Aries. You could think of this as cosmic winds changing direction. It’s probable this won’t be at all unwelcome for you. Later this week both Venus and Mars move on into another of the Fire signs, Aries. That may have significance for your love-life but could also send a pleasant ripple through your working life. Generally you’re not at you best if you feel matters are stagnating. It could all get so, so complicated as the Sun, Venus and Mars all change signs midweek. The main issue may be that some are attempting to run before they can walk. It’s perhaps the usual issue of ideas and creativity being on the rampage whilst insufficient thought is given to practicalities.

SUDOKU

Soon after the Sun moves into Pisces (Thursday), Venus and Mars arrive in your opposite sign. This marks a significant change of planetary gear. Knowing this, you could spend the first half of the week planning, preparing and getting to understand exactly the needs of others You know what it feels like when a car is about to change gear? That’s how you’re likely to experience the first half of this week. Maybe that’ll be because intuitively you can see an accident black spot ahead and need to manoeuvre away. These are still early days: Saturn having arrived in your sign on Dec 24th. Adjusting to this new pace could take several weeks yet. Of course all signs are experiencing this. For your part you may now be increasingly aware of just how seriously some people take certain tasks - and some don’t. By the end of this week Mars, followed by Venus will have arrived in another of the Cardinal signs. From then it’s likely to be action stations on many fronts. You might also be aware of the need to be prepared and to cope with documentation that’s unfamiliar yet must be done - and in a particular order. There’s potential for you to make a drama out of a crisis - at least during the first half of the week. You’re right in that it’s probable that there is a mess to clear up. Yet it’s entirely possible that left to your own devices for even just a short time, you could make sense of chaos. The first half of this week could find you cramming information (excellent if you soon have to undertake some kind of test). It might also be that you’re asked to build a project where the archiving that would have been so useful to have in place has never been attempted.
