Councillor calls for rental review 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3

A councillor wants a review of the amount paid to landlords on the Rental Accommodation Scheme (RAS ). City councillor Dick Roche (Ind) fears there could be a crisis in housing because of the low amount being paid to owners in Waterford. Director of Service Michael Quinn said there is no crisis at present and that while they have lost a number of landlords in the scheme, they’ve also gained some. However he acknowledged that with current trends in the housing market, there could be issues in the future, and said he intends to contact the Government on the matter. Under the RAS people with housing needs can temporarily rent from private landlords who will receive government payments.

Business of the week Remax Property Specialists Located on Parnell Street, Remax Property Specialists may just be the best property specialists in the entire county; providing an experience that is approachable, helpful, and most importantly, professional. Remax has over twenty years’ experience in Waterford City and have a staff that are fully qualified and all experienced and talented in their jobs.

Whether you are buying selling or letting and whether your property is residential or commercial, Remax Property will always be there to help with free pre-sale valuations and bank valuations along with dozens of other services. I highly recommend Remax Property for anyone in the property market in Waterford now.

Hotel of the week Treacys Hotel Treacys Hotel, Spa & Leisure Centre is one of our city’s best hotels, it’s perfect whether you are in need of a wedding, conference, want some food, to spend a night or a few, or just want to take a day off in the Spa facilities. Treacys consists of six different and diverse meeting and banquet halls and offers three distinct and customizable wedding

packages. The service at Treacys is also absolutely superb, you will never have a problem here with a staff who will not only fulfil your requests but pre-empt what you may ask for. Treacys Hotel, Spa & Leisure Centre is one of Waterford’s best hotels, I highly recommend it.

Game of the week Dark Souls II Dark Souls II is the sequel to 2011’s incredible Dark Souls and is a triumph of a sequel, even though in terms of innovation it is somewhat lacking. Dark Souls was an open world game without much of a story, you wondered through the world, killing monsters, fighting bosses; simply

living from campfire to campfire, what made the game special was its unrelenting difficulty. The game was extremely difficult and required finesse and concentration to succeed, the consequences to death were great but the game was built so it was almost never cheap

and each death was a learning experience. The game is thick with atmosphere and the design of the world is the best I have ever seen. Dark Souls II is a draining but transcendent and beautiful experience, I highly recommend it.

Shop of the week Halal Food Market

Halal Food Market, located on 5A Park Road, is one of our city’s best places for those in need of Halal food, it offers all anyone could have need of from dozens of different cultures and serves fresh halal chicken, lamb and beef. Frozen fish and prawns are purchasable here, as well

as fresh Asian vegetables and all different kinds of spices, rice and flours. The variety is great, with Indian, Bangladeshi, Saudi, Pakistani, African, Turkish and Kosovo foods available to buy as well as a whole lot more. Halal Food Market is open seven days a week and has free parking, I recommend it highly.

Album of the week Elbow: The Take Off and Landing of Everything

The Take Off and Landing of Everything is the newest album by British alternative rock band Elbow; Elbow are a band who have been around since 1990 now and The Take Off and Landing of Everything is their sixth album and one of their best. It’s melancholic compared to their previous albums,

with lyrics dealing with loss and grief and a new sound that makes use of softer, more melodic instrumentation that emphasizes simplicity. The Take Off and Landing of Everything is an interesting and engrossing work and proves that Elbow can still put together a great album.

Spa of the week Spirit Spa Located inside Treacys Hotel at 1 Merchants Quay, Spirit Spa is one of the best spas in Waterford, combining an unparalleled quality of service and staff with excellent facilities; it’s the perfect place to relax and unwind. The spa offers six treatment rooms including a herbal lavender steam room, Jacuzzi foot spas,

and a tropical experience shower among others. From the moment you enter it is like travelling to another world, it is where you learn of true luxury and where your every need will be attended to. I highly recommend Spirit Leisure Centre and Spa for anyone in need of relaxation this week.

App of the Week Smash Hit

Smash Hit has to be one of the most gorgeous and addictive apps to hit the app store in a very long time. Coming from the first perspective, Smash Hit is in the most basic sense a survival game; in it you smash crystals with balls in order to progress through the levels and finish the game. The game is not about getting a high score but is a linear

Venue of the week The Forum The forum is one of the best venues in the South East for big acts; through the years it has seen acts like Johnny Cash, David Gray and Van Morrison play here as well as hundreds of others. It is always, always a great place to see a gig, with a large space with a capacity of up to 1000 and a fully stocked bar. Events taking place in the next week include the Waterford Metal Fest, King Kong Company, Jam Tarts Orchestra, and Christy Moore amongst others, The Forum is always a great location and I highly recommend it.

Festival of the week Day Tripper Festival

As of the writing of this only four acts have been confirmed for the Waterford Day Tripper Festival in July but it is already shaping up to be one of the year’s best events and one of the to-do things this Summer. Those four acts include: Kaiser Chiefs on the 4th

Restaurant of the Week Cafe Goa Located right on the Quay, Café Goa is a fantastic and always great place to go for Indian Food, its menu is diverse, extremely tasty and the pricing is absurdly fair, and their wonderful staff will have you feeling right at home. The menu of Café Goa is initially minimalist and unassuming but the quality of food is unprecedented; it simply tastes better than

any other Indian restaurant around. The atmosphere is relaxed and staff always helpful and friendly, it’s the sort of place which could become a lunch or dinner regular for those working in town. Café Goa has already proved itself as one of our city’s best locations for food and it continues to do so, I highly recommend Café Goa.

experience; hitting certain glasses will deduct you ten balls which can doom your chances of winning. There is only one in app purchase and it’s probably worth getting at €1.99, it unlocks checkpoints. I highly recommend Smash Hit for anyone in need of a fun and relaxed iphone or ipad game this week.

July, David Gray and Paul Heaton & Jacqui Abbott on the 5th, and Paloma Faith on the 6th. All of these acts have been world famous for years now and are known for their great live shows, The Day Tripper Festival is guaranteed to be one of the best events of the Summer and I highly recommend it.

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. Your intuition could be set in motion by someone who asks a question that provokes an answer that even takes you by surprise: you might not have known you had that knowledge. You might even be surprised to hear your voice. You might also have promised too much over the weekend. Monday’s Last Quarter Moon is in your sign. Such moments are excellent if used to stop, pause and consider all that’s happened since the Sun moved through your opposite sign last June-July. This is where adjustments may be made. 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.

Red is the ďŹ nal ďŹ lm in Krzysztof Kieslowski’s Three Colours trilogy and is the ďŹ nal ďŹ lm the man directed before his death in 1996, in it he utilizes themes of communication and reinvention to craft this beautiful and serene piece of ambient cinema that has only become more relevant as time has passed. The central plot of Three Colours Red follows Valentine, a model working in Geneva who runs over a dog while driving one night. After tracking down the dog’s owner she ďŹ nds a sullen and bitter old man who has no interest in keeping it. She takes the dog for herself but after the dog runs home she meets the man again and they warm to each other. She learns that he has tapped the phones of his neighbours and though initially disgusted, she learns to sympathize with the man and his struggles as a judge, now he’d much rather play the silent omnipotent observer. He admits what he has done and is sent death threats, their relationship grows deeper. They accept, had she been born forty years previous or him forty years later they could have been lovers but it cannot happen now. With this Kieslowski puts askew the conventions of plot structure and turns the ďŹ lm into some sort of tragic antiromance. The most predominant theme of Red is communication and how it has changed in

the modern world. Valentine’s boyfriend and brother are major characters but are never seen only heard on the telephone, The judge silently observes the conversations of his neighbours as they hide and cheat on those around him but never acts on this other than to admit himself; the ďŹ rst scene of the ďŹ lm follows a phone line under the English Channel from London to Geneva. Three Colours Red is deeply laden with visual symbolism that requires multiples viewings to fully grasp; visual cues such as how the judge and Valentine are never shown on the same level when in his house, the abundance of broken glass in the ďŹ lm or just the omnipresent use of red are all important to note. The ďŹ lm’s other central theme is fraternity. Valentine’s relationships with characters throughout the ďŹ lm in many ways symbolize the changes that this word has endured throughout the years. Her relationship with her brother and boyfriend are strained because they are unseen, technology has made people alien to each other, shown through the judge’s spying, though the message can be interpreted in different ways. Three Colours Red is a triumph of a movie and perfects the ambient, airy quality that makes this trilogy so special, I highly recommend it.

Did you know that George Orwell volunteered in the Spanish Civil War and then wrote a book about it? It seems a concept too good to be true for any fan of this English socialist but here we are. For those unaware of the history I’ll try to explain what you need to know as simply

as possible, there was a civil war in Spain between 1936 and 1939 between the facist nationalists and the socialist and anarchist republicans. The nationalists won because a) the republican forces were incredibly divided and ended up ďŹ ghting each other, and b) the fascist forces were receiving a large amount of resources from Germany and Italy while the Republicans were only hurt by help from the USSR who encouraged inďŹ ghting. To aid the Republican side, the International Brigades was set up who pulled volunteers from all over the world to ďŹ ght in the war; Orwell was one of the people who fought, along with his wife. The book opens with Orwell arriving in Barcelona and fascinated by the anarchist system that had been set up in the city after the revolution. Orwell joined the POUM

1LFR 7KH 0DUEOH ,QGH[

and ďŹ ghts in the militia until some professional troops can actually be trained to replace them, they sit in trenches with nothing but eas and boredom to worry about until a night raid of the Nationalist line followed by his return to Barcelona. When he returns to the city the atmosphere has changed drastically and he is trapped in a civil war within a civil war, the POUM is made illegal and Orwell’s comrades are all sent to prison or executed. Orwell spends much time discussing what exactly is happening in the war so you should never be lost, and the book functions as both a great historical source as well as an engaging read in and of itself. Orwell spends much time outlining his political views throughout the novel and by the time he leaves Spain he has become a ‘convinced democratic socialist’ despite what he witnessed from the supposedly socialist and communist parties. It is a great book and also a great starting point for Orwell.

When The Velvet Underground dropped Nico following their debut album they left behind a very special part of what made that album so powerful. What Nico brought to their sound was a certain exoticism and a sense of history, Nico’s singing was gothic and often unsettling, it added an epic quality to songs like All Tomorrow’s Parties that was unheard of in rock music. Two years later in 1969 Nico released her second solo album and the start of a trilogy of classics; The Marble Index. On The Marble Index, Nico creates this scalding mix of 20th century classical, German and American folk music and absurd droning poetry that is both terrifying and achingly beautiful. While her future albums would attempt to diversify, The Marble Index is very much a one mood album with a bleak and morose atmosphere that will drain you over it’s barely 30 minutes. I don’t say this as a criticism but as a warning, don’t bother listening if it’s a sunny day. The only other person who played on this album was

John Cale also of the Velvet Underground; and his avantgarde roots project themselves tremendously on The Marble Index. Cale brings a huge array of different instruments to compliment Nico’s vocals and harmonium, from the electric viola to the mouth organ to the glockenspiel and makes the music much more diverse and harrowing than it would have

been otherwise. One of the most enduring and fascinating elements of Nico’s work are her lyrics that pertain to a wide array of topics ranging from sweet, to depressing to unsettling. Some of her most fascinating lyrics are on The Marble Index; Ari’s Song is dedicated to her son and is a cold account of her failures as a mother, Frozen Warnings is an icy and unnerving song that some believe pertains to Nico seeing trains full of Jews heading for concentration camps during her youth and Lawn of Dawn is purportedly about doing peyote in the desert with Jim Morrison. It should go without saying that The Marble Index was a complete op and caused Elektra Records to drop Nico following its release; the sound of the album is completely unmarketable and too experimental in its time. Fortunately, The Marble Index has since gone down as one of the best albums ever made and is certainly worth a listen.

7KH 5DLG %HUDQGDO I know what you want to hear. You want to hear that The Raid 2: Berandal is bigger, badder and bolder than the first one. That somehow Gareth Evans managed to up his game exponentially in this sequel to one of the most gloriously violent movies of all time. To his credit, The Raid 2: Berandal is in every way a bigger more ambitious movie, offering a more elaborate story, a slew of new characters, and bigger battle ratios.

6 )URP LFH WR QLFH DQG KRW Exfoliation is an integral part of skincare regime. It helps to get rid of dead cells from the surface of the skin, improves blood circulation, leaving your skin clean and bright. Natural face scrubs are cheaper and more important they are free of chemicals. Freeze Your Eyeliner Does your eyeliner constantly crumble while putting it on? Our friends at You Beauty recommend leaving it in the freezer for 15 minutes prior to applying your makeup. It should glide along your lash line seamlessly after that. Shave With Conditioner If you’re out of shaving cream, lather your legs with conditioner instead of soap. Conditioner will soften the hair on your legs making it easier to shave (and it will leave your skin feeling extra silky). Rinse Hair With Beer Or Vinegar Rinsing your hair with beer helps restore moisture to your locks while using vinegar will up the ante in shine. Soak your hair in ei-

ther liquid (not at the same time) for a few minutes, then rinse with cold water. Turn Up The Heat For curlier, flirtier lashes, the experts at You Beauty recommend heating your lash curler with a hair dryer for five to eight seconds before curling them. Use Ice Cubes To Keep Fat, Acne And Wrinkles At Bay The experts at You Beauty recommend massaging an ice cube over your face until it melts. Do it every night before bed and keep fat cells, acne and wrinkles under control. Make Your Manicure Last.. And Last Before applying nail polish, wipe nails with an acetone-based cleanser. Essie Weingarten, founder of Essie Cosmetics, told the pros at Redbook that cleaning excess dirt, oil or moisturizer from your nails will ensure that the polish adheres properly. Follow the rest of these tips at Redbook and your perfectly polished manicure will last for a

week and a half.

softer elbows in at least two days.

Soothe Your Stomach.. And Your Face Apparently Pepto-Bismol isn’t just a stomach soother, it can also be used as a facial mask. It contains bismuth subsalicylate, which is commonly found in facial creams. In an interview with Reader’s Digest, Dr.Frances Jang, a dermatologist at Skinworks, recommended spreading two teaspoons of Pepto-Bismol on your face, then letting it dry for 15 to 30 minutes before rinsing it off with warm water.

Lighten Hair With Chamomile Tea And Lemon Juice In an interview with Reader’s Digest, Popie Poulos, hairstylist and owner of The Salon, recommends rinsing your hair with a mixture of chamomile and fresh lemon juice instead of conditioner to permanently lighten your tresses. Allow your hair to dry while sitting in the sun or use a blow dryer — the heat will lighten your locks.

Apply Sunscreen Daily Wear sunscreen every day, rain or shine. Even when it’s cloudy. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, 80 per cent of the sun’s ultraviolet rays pass through the clouds. Don’t Neglect Your Elbows It’s easy to forget about your elbows, but they need just as much protection and care as other parts of your body. Cure dry elbows by massaging Bio-Oil onto them daily. You’ll see and feel

De-Puff Your Eyes With Raw Potatoes In an interview with Reader’s Digest, Dr.Frances Jang, a dermatologist at Skinworks recommends using raw potato slices to soothe your eyes. She says they are astringent which means they help decrease water retention and they also contain the enzyme catalase which helps lighten dark under eye circles. First, wash and peel a potato. Cut two slices and place one on each eye for 10 minutes. Lay down, and let the potatoes work their magic. Rinse with lukewarm water.

+HDOWK DGYLFH WR NHHS \RX Ă€W DQG ZHOO By Trish Hayden Health experts recommend 30 minutes of moderate intensity activity five times a week. It might sound like hard work but fast walking counts as a ‘moderate intensity’ exercise. Better still, you don’t have to do 30 minutes in one go – it’s fine to do two blocks of 15 min-

utes or even three blocks of 10 minutes if you prefer. If you’ve never exercised or you haven’t been physically active for a long time, it’s worth getting the once over from your GP before starting out. Then, follow tips‌

these

No matter what your age, level of

fitness, ability, size or shape, there’s an exercise out there that’s right for you so start doing some research to find some activities that will suit you and your lifestyle. Investigate what’s on offer in your local area – phone around the leisure centres, gyms and pools and find out about times, availability and prices. Don’t narrow your choices

down to conventional gym or class based activities. If you think walking might be your thing, find a hiking or rambling club near you; if you liked team sports at school, consider joining a netball team; or if you love dancing, find a dance class. Always warm up properly before taking part in exercise. You’re far more likely to injure yourself if your muscles haven’t

been warmed up. Remember to cool down, too. Start gradually and slowly increase the amount and intensity of the activity you’re doing. You’ll be amazed at how quickly you’ll see an improvement. Put your exercise sessions in your diary. If you set time aside for them, you’ll be far more likely to keep your ‘appointments’.
