/RFDO (QWHUSULVH 2ϪFH )5(( EXVLQHVV VWDUW XS VHPLQDU David McKernan, Irish entrepreneur and Founder of Java Republic is to speak at a Local Enterprise Office free business start-up information seminar in the Tower hotel on the morning of Wednesday May 28th.

All the economic signs show that Ireland is emerging from the financial crisis. This means that there has not been a better time in years to investigate starting your own business. With this in mind the new Local Enterprise Office for Waterford has organised Fresh Start, a free business start-up information seminar for those that have left education, been made redundant or about to be made redundant.

The first Fresh Start seminar was held in September 2009, repeated in January 2011 and May 2013. The combined results of these events led to an estimated 320 jobs. As one participant Mary Doherty of Granny Maddox said “The Fresh Start Seminar in January 2011 gave me the information and the motivation to get where I am today, self-employed, much busier and much happier.”

The key note speaker David McKernan is a persistent, passionate and high-spirited entrepreneur, who has inspired and uccessful career in irritated in equal measure throughout a successful coffee. He emerged from the cocoon of Bewley’s to found Java Republic Roasting Company in 1999: This innovative company quickly became one of Ireland’s most successful brands, and one of Europe’s leading coffee companies. Java Republic is notable for a distinctive vision: Premium, fresh handroasted coffee – with a conscience.

From day one, David’s aim was to raise awareness of real coffee quality, and to challenge abysmally low ethical standards in the coffee business. Both goals were soon achieved: Java Republic’s coffee has won multiple awards for taste and quality, while those who grow their coffee beans saw fairer prices, and improved living standards from direct aid and infrastructure projects.

Whilst stewarding Java Republic through some of the most challenging times any business could face, he developed a

reputation as a motivational speaker and campaigner for physical fitness as a driver for positive mental health. David is an engaging, charismatic and entertainingly egotistical speaker, who connects with audiences like a perfectly poured espresso. With nearly 12 years of success in Ireland, David is now focussing on bringing his unique brand of superb coffee aand straight talking to an internattional audience.

O Other speakers include Ciaran Culllen of the Local Enterprise office in W Waterford, Liam Murphy from the D Department of Social Protection, SSiobhan O’Callaghan from Irish FFranchising Skillnet and Sarah Flynn, U Unique Aquatics & Fitness, a local aand successful product of last year’s sstart your own business course.

C Ciarán Cullen of the Local Enterprise O Office in Waterford, suggests that ““this is a good time to start a businness, while set-up costs are still low aand there are very good supports in p place. In the Enterprise Office we are llaunching new ‘Start You Own Businness’ and ‘RECON’ programmes in early June w which will help any new business set the right course for a better future.”

Fresh Start is free but registration is essential. For more information or to register please contact your Local Enterprise Office in Waterford on 051-852883 or email info@ leo.waterfordcouncil.ie .

2B;NĂ&#x152;MĂ&#x2014;IHĂ&#x2014;NB?Ă&#x2014;G?HO CHICKPEA WITH COURGETTES AND AUBERGINES We had a great response from readers to last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s simple roast vegetable dish. It conďŹ rms my belief that we all want great tasty food but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily want to slave over a hot cooker either. Another such recipe which can be enjoyed hot or cold and gets good reviews in the cafe is our roast chick pea with courgettes and aubergines.

SERVES 4 PEOPLE

Fresh lemon juice Olive oil Ground cumin Two cloves of crushed garlic

Two tins of cooked chickpeas One large white onion chopped small One courgette cut into small pieces One aubergines cut into small pieces

Strain the two tins of chickpeas,place in a colander and rinse well.

Place the peas in your best baking tray and add all of the other ingredients.

Combine until all of the vegetables have a coating

CHICKPEA WITH COURGETTES AND AUBERGINES

of oil and lemon juice and spices. Bake in a hot oven for only 15 minutes.

Serve with your main course or my preference is to have this zesty and wonderfully textured vegetable cold as a salad or snack.

The Granary CafĂŠ is in Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connell Street, Waterford

Business of the week Premium Butcher When it comes to Butchers in Waterford, there are few that put in quite the same effort and produce to quite the same standards as Premium Butchers.

All of their products are 100% Irish, expertly prepared in Kilmacthomas, and their beef is dry aged for 14-21 days, leading to a much more tender and flavoursome type of beef.

Along with this the butcher also specialises in lamb and pork, producing some of the best

available in the country while never using non-traditional or unethical practices. Premium Butchers is an excellent butchers for Waterford and I wholeheartedly recommend it, they deliver all orders above €75.

Hotel of the week The Sands Hotel The Sands Hotel is one of the cosiest and friendliest hotels I have ever stayed in, everything from the beautiful location to the staff to the amazing food and the rooms themselves elevates The Sands Hotel far above the norm. The hotel is in Tramore and is one of the town’s best hotels, though what stood out for me most was the bar and the staff, live music plays in the Sands bar every weekend and every night during the Summer and the bar is

drenched in atmosphere, same goes for the Shanty Bar upstairs that also features a heated and covered smoking terrace. There is so much to say about this place, it is one of the best hotels in the county and I highly recommend it.

Film of the week Godzilla The film version of Godzilla is a very different beast from what was expected of it, instead of the two-hour monster mania that we were promised Godzilla 2014 is a slow burner that revels in suspense, similar to Jaws more than anything else. Godzilla doesn’t actually come into the movie until it is well past the hour mark, the film tells the story of a race of malevolent, evil creatures who attack the West Coast of the US, the government wants to use

nuclear bombs but a Japanese scientists convinces the world powers to send in Godzilla, a creature born from the explosion of a nuclear bomb in the 1950s.

The plot’s a bit convoluted but it works and the film is worth seeing.

Restaurant of the week Grow Café The Grow Café is a new restaurant from the team formerly behind The Brasserie at City Square, it is an excellent location, with a completely unique atmosphere and an excellent, tasty menu. The walls of the Grow Café are painted and given these colourful and creative designs that make a visit to the Grow Café an extremely memorable experience. On top of this, the menu is excellent with great soups, salads, burgers and sandwiches along with much much more; the menu is extensive and can cover whatever mood you may be in. I highly recommend the Grow Café.

Shop of the week Guineys Located on George’s Street, Guineys is an excellent business to buy for your home that will help transform it into something great and something personal. Guineys offers so much, whether it’s your bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, living room or a nursery that requires furniture or facilities, Guineys is always there for you and will provide excellent, unparalleled service. The staff of Guineys is constantly attentive and will provide excellent

service no matter what your needs may be. The shop also sells a large selection of good quality clothes.

I highly recommend Guineys for anyone looking for more for their home.

Game of the week Watch Dogs Finally, finally after all these years and delays Watch Dogs will be released in Europe on Tuesday the 27th May. Watch Dogs is an open world stealth game by ubisoft. It is set in an alternative history version of Chicago and follows the character of Aiden Pearce, a skilled hacker who wants to bring change to the dystopian city. The game has been on the radar ever since its debut at E3 2012 where it was named the best of E3 by many publications.

The developer, Ubisoft Montreal,

has built itself a high pedigree in recent years with the Assassins Creed and Splinter Cell games and Watch Dogs is expected to surpass even the high water mark set by its predecessors.

Pub of the Week The Cove Bar The Cove Bar, located on the Dunmore Road, attempts to create a homely, friendly atmosphere while retaining the look and feel of a modern pub, and it easily achieves both, becoming one of the best pubs in the county. The pub excels at low cost but high quality food with great drink and a large, open location including a smoking area equipped with televisions. Events are

on all throughout the week, highlights being Quiz nights on Mondays and Trad sessions on Wednesdays. This pub is a great location and I highly recommend it.

Album of the week Swans- To be Kind

It’s a great album, the reviews were right, it provides a listen less grimy but even more intense than 2012’s The Seer and is probably the band’s best work. There a hard band to describe, their music is torturously long winded and endlessly repetitive but those facts give it this indescribable atmosphere and hypnotic nature that will leave you

exhausted but satisfied by the end. After two hours of Swans all other music just sounds kind of passé, those familiar pop tunes are grating, your entire body is physically exhausted and you just want to lie down. It’s not an album you’ll bring out often since you need to listen to the entire thing to get the proper experience, but when you do there is nothing like To Be Kind.

Car dealer of the week H&H Renault H&H Renault, selling cars since 1984, is one of the best places in the county to buy Renault cars and is a business I recommend wholeheartedly. What makes H&H Renault special is simple, so simple that it’s unbelievable how many businesses fail at it, they are about customer satisfaction.

You come to H&H Renault and you find yourself among state of the art technology with an extremely friendly

DVD of the Week Inside Llewyn Davis

It’s a Coen Brothers movie, what else needs to be said? Inside Llewyn Davis is the newest film by brothers Joel and Ethan Coen that was released at the start of this year and is now available on DVD. It follows Llewyn Davis, a folk singer in Greenwich Village during the winter of 1961. We see the life of Davis over one week, during which time he mooches off people, loses his friends cat, insults the family of his recently

dead-by-suicide performing partner, and impregnates another friends wife. He’s not a great man by any means, and is wonderfully played by Oscar Isaac. Along with Isaac the film also stars Carey Mulligan and John Goodman. It is a must see film.

; 0HQ 'D\V RI )XWXUH 3DVW X-Men: Days of Future Past pulls off the impossible. Truth be told, it pulls off several â&#x20AC;&#x153;impossibles.â&#x20AC;?

By seamlessly adapting comic writer Chris Claremontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cherished, 1980 story arc of the same name into a big-budget, movie-star-driven extravaganza, director Bryan Singer ďŹ nally delivers on a long-standing promise to X-Men supporters to both honor this cherished, time-hopping narrative and bring the detested, awe-inspiring, mutanthunting Sentinel robots to the big screen. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an X-Men story thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nearly 14 years in the making.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the X-Men movie dedicated fans never thought theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d see. And now that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s here, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the greatest X-Men movie weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen to date, and a new standard-bearer for the massive potential of comic-book franchises far

Miles and miles of narrative foundation had to be laid out over the years before X-Men: Days of Future Past could even entertain the notion of existing, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one component of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;impossiblesâ&#x20AC;?

Charming, elegant, stylish, romantic and merger-making Libra Your ruling planet is Venus, your best day of the week is Friday and your colours are gentle hues of blues, pinks and violets. Plutoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passage through Capricorn until 2024 is shaking your very foundations.

Mesmerising, insightful, determined, resourceful and focused Scorpio Your ruling planets are Mars and Pluto, your best day of the week is Tuesday and your colours deep, deep red and black. Saturn is moving through your sign until late 2014. View this as a long period of self-investment.

Mars arrives at a key station on Tuesday -slightly ahead of the Sunâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s move into your opposite sign and a Last Quarter Moon accenting the base of your solar chart. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probable then that something thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been much discussed since last December will reach a new phase.

Mars reaches an important station on Tuesday and only slightly ahead of the Sunâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s move into Gemini and the Last Quarter Moon. Whatever youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been working on since last December is likely to reach a crucial stage. It may be decided that your input will be vital in the coming weeks (at least until July).

Quirky, determined, logical, eccentric and freedom-loving Aquarius. Your ruling planets are Saturn and Uranus. Your best day of the week is Saturday and your best colours are electric or deep, rich blue and anything metallic. Saturn is passing through another of the Fixed signs, Scorpio until late 2014.

Intuitive, sensitive, big-picture thinking, kind and thoughtful Pisces. Your ruling planets are Jupiter and Neptune. Your best day of the week is Thursday and your best colours are those of the sea: blue, green, lavender and silver. Slow moving Neptune is in your sign through to 2024.

N YOGA there arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that many exercises that you would recognise as being speciďŹ cally for the abdominals, however, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see many yogis going around with big bellies.

Alternatively you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see many with showy, washboard abs either.

The â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;big secretâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is a relatively healthy lifestyle and well-rounded exercise that involves strength and ďŹ&#x201A;exibility.

We have funny ideas about our abs these days due to elements of the media holding up abnormally thin, ďŹ&#x201A;at stomachs or super hard washboard abs as being the ultimate goal.

Consequently people think they have to hold their stomachs in all the time, creating tension.

Our abs are there to support our skeleton, assisting it in movement and protecting the internal organs.

Along with muscles of the back they create our core which brings spinal stability and protects against injury and gives a good posture.

Lengthen your spine Often, people want to look slim and end up overworking the abdominals.This will actually pull the torso forward. The best way to look slim is by using your abs as they were meant to be usedâ&#x20AC;Śas part of your core stability, bringing

movement and allowing you to stand up to your full height.

It is not good to constantly hold a low amount of tension in our abdominals. It is difficult to work a tense muscle. If a muscle is springy and ďŹ&#x201A;exible it is healthy, and ready to be called on when you need it.

So donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think about pulling your belly in all the time, think about elongating your spine.

Modern lifestyle creates a tendency towards weak abdominal muscles. One contributing factor would be when we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sit on our sitting bones.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more common to sit slouched with a rounded back which allows the abs to become slack. Weak abdominals are then a major factor in back injury.

If the muscles are weak, in exercise or movement, people will unwittingly use back muscles to

compensate, leading to injury.

Stability and balance Yoga is excellent for building healthy abdominals because it combines strength with ďŹ&#x201A;exibility, moving the body in all planes in various postures requiring stability and balance. Many of the poses are often in a challenging relationship with gravity.

No yoga class is ever the same, and brings a constant challenge.

The important factor is mixing it up, so if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like yoga, try different activities that will challenge your range of motion.

We still think of a super ďŹ&#x201A;at, ripped stomach as being the ultimate target and ab crunches as the way to do it.

However if you just train for strength, your muscles can shorten, compounded by the fact that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re only training in one direction which limits your ďŹ&#x201A;exibility and range of motion.

The funny thing is, we all have a six pack, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the rectus abdominis and lie under your tummy fat. So your six pack is deďŹ nitely there, you just canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see it.

By Ellen Roche THE LOW FODMAP diet is a relatively new diet in Ireland, which is mainly used to relieve the symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). IBS effects 1 in 7 people over a lifetime and often includes complaints such as abdominal bloating and distension, excess wind (ďŹ&#x201A;atulence or burping), abdominal pain, nausea, altered bowel habits (diarrhoea, constipation, or a combination of both) and other gastro-intestinal symptoms.

The latest research also shows that this revolutionary new approach can also ease tummy symptoms for those with Crohns Disease, Ulcerative Colitis, Gut Bacterial Overgrowth and even digestive problems associated with HIV.

What are FODMAP Foods?

FODMAPs are foods which are Fermentable Oligo-saccharies (example garlic), Di-saccharides (lactose), Mono-saccharides (honey) And Polyol â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;S (apples).

FODMAP is a complex name for a collection of molecules found in a number of various healthy and not so healthy foods.

FODMAP containing foods are poorly digested and absorbed by some people and act as a food source to the billions of bacteria which naturally inhabit the large bowel.

The bacteria then digest or ferment these foods, which can trigger symptoms in susceptible individuals.

Excessive movements of ďŹ&#x201A;uid in the bowel is usually associated with the malabsorption of such foods.

There are numerous scientiďŹ c journals which have been published recently to show the effect of FODMAP foods on the gut and to prove itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beneďŹ ts.

How does it work?

The approach involves excluding FODMAP containing foods for six weeks under the guidance of a FODMAP trained Dietitian.

The diet is individualised to each person, taking into consideration the usual dietary intake, medical history and symptom proďŹ le. Careful

implementation is needed to ensure the diet is most up to date and nutritionally balanced. Improvements to digestive symptoms (including fatigue for many IBS sufferers) are usually found within two weeks of commencing the exclusion diet.

The re-introduction phase allows people to get to the root of their problem by determining the speciďŹ c food(s) causing their intolerances.

Success rates i.e a signiďŹ cant improvement to excess wind, burping, bloating, diarrhoea and constipation

are proven to be at 76%. Success rates for bloating or abdominal pain alone are currently found to be 83% from FODMAP trained Dietitians.

Before commencing the diet under guidance of a FODMAP trained Dietitian, the Gastroenterologists from where I trained in this specialist diet at Kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s College, London, recommend that the plan is not appropriate if there are any traces of blood in the stools (consult a doctor immediately in this instance).

Also note that Coeliac disease should be outruled; a gluten intolerance which requires blood test from a GP if not performed already.

Unfortunately I have seen several clients in the past, who have taken numerous medications on a daily basis to relieve their digestive symptoms which were ongoing for yearsâ&#x20AC;Ś to ďŹ nd out that the issue was completely diet related.

Historically, those with digestive complaints were told by health professionals that the problem â&#x20AC;&#x153;is all in your headâ&#x20AC;?, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stress related or to just increase or decrease ďŹ bre intakes.

Thankfully, we now know that this isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always the case; the foods we eat can hugely effect how we feel on the inside and that one shoe never ďŹ t all! Contact the clinic for further information.
