$ PRGHO EXVLQHVV IRU VHOOLQJ RQ OLQH There is no disputing that the future for many industries is to move to on line sales. The benefits of an expanded market, lower costs and improved technology reducing barriers to entry make on line sales an extremely attractive proposition. Many agencies such as Enterprise Ireland and the Local Enterprise Offices consciously support digital marketing campaigns directed toward on line selling. It results in business growth, export growth and increased employment. This is why the start of 2015 is a perfect time for EmmaJane Power, co-founder of PicStash to give her â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Top Ten Tips for selling on lineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; on Thursday January 29th. Following on from the success of these lunches with speakers such as Des Whelan of WLR fm, Louise Grubb of Q1 Scientific, Ronan Mulligan of Mulliganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pharmacies and John Noonan of Flahavans, Emmaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tips are sure to be eagerly received by Waterford businesses keen to develop their on line sales. These â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Top Ten lunchesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; are a series of networking events on the theme of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;my Top Ten Business Tipsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; delivered by successful local business people and occurring once per month. Each lunch will outline a speakersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; views on a specific topic and take place in the Bistro in the Tower Hotel from 12.30pm to 2pm.

There is a considerable pool of business talent and experience in Waterford and the Local Enterprise Offices hopes to harness this expertise to inspire Waterfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new and existing business communities. As a former model for international brands such as Nike, Riverrock Water, Escada and Paco Robanne, Emma decided to set up her first business in her late 20â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. The idea was to change how brands interact with both traditional and digital media. Making PR more affordable and relevant to brands and media in the Digital Age is a key aim of the company. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our goal is to be the first go-to resource for any brand to get huge media exposure,â&#x20AC;? says the Waterford local. From humble beginnings in her attic, the PicStash now employs over 13 people in Ireland and has a presence in over 7 countries worldwide. It has a list of over 40 international clients including Harvey Nichols, Littlewoods, Sony, Philips and Harvey Norman. Many indigenous companies are also represented, including Meadows & Byrne, Butlers Chocolates and Dubarry. The cost of these events is just â&#x201A;Ź8.50, this is for the cost of the lunch alone. Booking is essential. For more information or to register your interest please contact your Local Enterprise Office in Waterford on 051-849905 or email info@leo.

Discover a life free of glasses and contact lenses

The Facts about Laser Eye Surgery The question is why continue to struggle with glasses and contact lenses when you can enjoy 20:20 vision and a life free of glasses with a simple, 10 minute procedure that is laser eye surgery? Laser eye surgery is one of the most advanced and commonly performed surgeries with over 30 million people worldwide choosing, quite wisely, to ditch their glasses and contact lenses. Celebrities who have had laser eye surgery include Padraig Harrington, Pat Kenny and Brian Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Driscoll. Optilase seems to be the eye clinic of choice for Irish sports people, with Rugby stars Doug Howlett and Denis Hurley as well as GAA star Donal Og Cusack both turning to Optilase for their laser eye surgery. Top model and sporting enthusiast Roz Purcell also had laser eye surgery at Optilase and tweeted: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was blind, now I can see, thank you Optilase, feeling great alreadyâ&#x20AC;? a few hours after surgery.

having performed in the region of 30,000 laser eye procedures, I can comfortably say that the ďŹ eld has reached a zenith of safety and predictabilityâ&#x20AC;?, said Surgeon and Medical Director of Optilase, Mr Wayne Crewe Brown.

1\Z[ ^OH[ PZ SHZLY L`L Z\YNLY`& Laser Eye Surgery involves the gentle re-shaping of the cornea to improve its focusing ability and remove the need for corrective eye wear.

+VLZ P[ O\Y[& The over-riding response from patients is to wonder at how painless the procedure actually is. It takes just a few moments per eye and Optilase uses only the most advanced technology so there really is nothing to be frightened of.

/V^ SVUN KVLZ P[ [HRL& The actual procedure takes about 10 minutes per eye and patients are usually required to rest for half an hour or so in the clinic afterwards and then go home to sleep for a few hours. On waking eyesight is sharper and improves with each day.

Optilase involves a tiny inlay, smaller than a contact lens and one-fourth the thickness of a single human hair which is is placed in a small pocket in the cornea of the patientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nondominant eye. Within hours, the patient is typically able to once again see near objects and read ďŹ ne print, without the need for reading glasses.

>OH[ HIV\[ [OL JVZ[& It is estimated that a person will spend anything up to â&#x201A;Ź20,000 on glasses and contact lenses over their lifetime so laser eye surgery is actually much more cost effective. At Optilase, prices start at only â&#x201A;Ź795 per eye. Absolutely everyone we have spoken to had the same response â&#x20AC;&#x201C; why on earth didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t I do it sooner!

2YHU PLOOLRQ SHRSOH ZRUOG ZLGH KDYH KDG ODVHU H\H VXUJHU\ Optilase was one of the ďŹ rst independent clinics in the country and now has clinics nationwide including Barronstrand Street in Waterford. Their experienced team of Surgeons

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The life changing results of laser eye surgery are evident almost immediately and the most common response from our patients is always â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t I do it years ago!â&#x20AC;? and to wonder at how pain-free the experience actually is. Having been involved in laser eye surgery for over 20 years and

Over 30 million people worldwide have had laser eye surgery. Can you imagine the likes of Kim Kardashian, Nicola Kidman or Brad Pitt wearing glasses or ďŹ ddling around with contact lenses? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because they chose to have laser eye surgery! Thousands of people across Ireland have beneďŹ tted from having laser eye surgery and are now enjoying life free of glasses and lenses.

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 beneﬁts 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 just two cups of lotus leaf Yo Chi weight loss tea a day over a 14 day period will help to increase weight loss by up to 50%! Yo Chi Tea is exclusively available from Therapie Clinic nationwide, including 31 Barronstrand Street in Waterford. Simply call them direct on 1890 650 750, to ﬁnd out more or to order.

Album of the week 1989 - Taylor Swift (€9.99) It’s almost refreshing that, after eight years of success in the recording industry, Swift decided now was the time to go pop. Swift always seemed like such an old soul, a 16-year-old worried about when she was going to meet her Romeo. And while that sells, it’s a pretty unrealistic outlook on life. 1989 suggests that, even though

she’s making silly videos about how awkward it looks when she twerks, Swift has matured. And thank God, because that cloying optimistic romanticism was getting a little annoying. Swift’s never going to be as bleak as Del Rey or as sexually frank as Madonna, but, on 1989, she’s ﬁgured out how to be an adult once and for all.

DVD of the Week Before I Go to Sleep (€15.99) Nicole Kidman, Colin Firth and Mark Strong star in this adaptation of the bestselling novel by S. J. Watson. Christine Lucas (Kidman) suffers from anterograde amnesia, waking up every day without any knowledge of who she is. Christine regularly visits Dr. Nash (Strong) who, with the help of her understanding husband Ben (Firth), is as-

sisting her with the recovery of her memories. When Dr. Nash takes her to the place where she was attacked to try to reconstruct the event in her mind, Christine realises that she may be better off not remembering. As Christine starts to uncover terrifying truths about her past, she begins to question everything - and everyone - around her.

Console Game of the week Far Cry 4: Limited Edition (Xbox One) €69.99

Board Game of the Week Brain Box - Ireland (€12.99) Can you name all of Ireland’s counties? BrainBox Ireland is a boxed up tour of one of Europe’s most beautiful countries. The Rules: The object of the game is to study a card for 10 seconds and then answer a question based on the roll of a die. If the question is answered cor-

rectly, the card is kept, and the person with the most number of cards after 5 or 10 minutes is the winner. This simple concept can be played by all ages and in large groups or as a 1 person game. Find out who the BrainBox is in your family it may not be who you think it is!

both the expansive terrain and the enemies they have to take down. New to the series is the gyrocopter, which allows players to take to the skies for quick travel, and to see Kryat in all its glory. For the ﬁrst time players can invite a friend to engage in some open world co-op.

Far Cry 3 was a commercial and critical hit and, while Ubisoft has given the series a bit of a beeﬁng up for the sequel, it knows not to mess to much with a winning formula. Like its predecessor, this is an open-world shoot-’em-up that encourages players to take their own approach to

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 seems to be all about style and design as the week begins. Even the most subtle change to a presentation could have major consequences midweek allowing someone to see you in fresh light. It’s probable too that your star quality will shine through - especially where career matters are concerned. This week the Sun moves to Aquarius just as Mercury appears to start one of its pirouette movements. For the next few weeks it will appear retrograde. This could coincide with a period of ‘editing’ and ‘restructuring’ - which you might welcome. Your ruling planet, Mercury, appears to slow down and then, midweek begins an apparent pirouette when it is retrograde for a few weeks before apparently unwinding its loop. You too could actually ‘do a dance’ over the next few weeks. You may remember that Uranus and Pluto are travelling through two of the other Cardinal signs. Tracing this cycle through the ages we find correlation with periods of great social upheaval. It’s probable that you are already dealing with seismic shifts both within the family and in your career. The Sun reaches your opposite sign this week - coinciding with Mercury’s station in that same sign. Think of this as a crossroads where someone has knocked over the sign. Your co-driver (pilot) may not know which way to go: yet you know that a decision has to be taken quickly. A significant change in cosmic conditions occurs as the Sun moves on into Aquarius just as Mercury (your ruling planet) begins a pirouette movement that lasts for some weeks. Within your working scene get ready for a period of chaos!

Three cosmic ‘key changes’ take place this week: the Sun changes signs, Mercury begins a pirouette movement in another of the Air signs and Mars and Neptune align in Pisces. It’s probable then that moods will be very different as the week closes to its opening. Just as the Sun moves into Aquarius, there’s a New Moon, Mercury stations and Mars and Neptune align. The fact that Mercury will then turn retrograde suggests a fault at work - and one that could affect you as both the Sun and Mercury will be in another of the Fixed signs. The Sun reaches your opposite sign this week - coinciding with Mercury’s station in that same sign. Think of this as a crossroads where someone has knocked over the sign. Your co-driver (pilot) may not know which way to go: yet you know that a decision has to be taken quickly. You’ve probably known for weeks if not months that a situation cannot continue and that logic will have to take precedence over emotions. Despite agreement having been reached, it’s still possible that someone (possibly born under Aquarius) will throw a serious spanner in the works. The Sun moves into your sign and soon your personal year begins. Is it possible that you don’t yet know what it is that you actually would like to experience in the coming twelve months? It could certainly appear that way to others. Of course things are changing all the time. The rate varies considerably however. Bear that in mind if you sense approaching rapids midweek. It’s entirely possible that something you thought was ‘set in stone’ is anything but. It’s perhaps as well that being flexible isn’t an issue.
