Organic Foodstuff, Is It Genuinely Beneficial? Is It Honestly True That Organic Food Can Improve Your Health? Switch on the TV or take a look at the recent health books and you will notice that the term “organic food” is being widely promoted as the new way to have a healthy life. People involved in the health food trade are making massive profits during this hype as organic food costs more then the nonorganic foods found in the shop. Keeping all this in mind, the question needs to be asked; is organic food profoundly beneficial or even necessary for our bodies? Is the high price regarding organic food justified? Before I proceed I need to explain what is meant by organic. The term “organic” pertaining to food, signifies that it has not been modified unnaturally. Ionizing radiation, artificial hormones and chemically enhanced fertilizers are instances of things that are not used to accelerate or boost the food’s growth or quantity. When considering the essential protein foods including eggs, dairy and meat, antibiotics or Growth Hormone (GH) are not given to the animals.
By Cortney Yoder / Article Source: Articlebliss
If you want to sell food and want it to be called “organic”, there is a requirement that the food has to be in produce for 3 years. For the first two years the fertility of the farm land needs to be built up and only after that are crops allowed to be grown. All these elements contribute to the extra cost of organic food. But the question still demands to be stated; is this all necessary? Are there any extra benefits of organic food? Many of us appreciate that organic food boasts a more significant nutritional value then regular food. Researchers have found that milk obtained from cows that were only given organic food had about 70% more Beta Carotene, 50% more Vitamin E and contained twice as many natural antioxidants and more Omega 3 then cows that were given chemically enhanced food. Choosing to use organic food will also be good for your general wellness since it contains no chemicals such as insecticides and other harmful substances. Whenever chemicals are added to food, it also increases the number of cancer causing substances which will be prevented by using organic food. Many have said that organic food also has a better taste but that’s usually just a personal preference. In the event that you make a decision to use organic foods, the good news is that its also beneficial for the eco-system. Toxins such as insecticides all combine to have a negative effect on our environment. This can be avoided by using organic food. Pollution is adding to the urgent concern of global warming, however organic farming keeps pollution to a minimum which is great news. Additionally, it is important to be aware that when farm animals are fed on organic food they are also usually treated well so that they will also produce well. Unlike the small cages and the force feeding operations witnessed on many other farms, organically fed animals are generally “free range” and are allowed to walk around in open areas. Therefore, organic foods are good for the environment and your health. Moreover, it is certain that the animals on the farms are treated well and not subject to abuse. As with anything that’s good there are drawbacks, with organic food its the price, so its up to you to determine whether or not you’ll benefit from paying more for organic food. 34

Adonai.byblos@yahoo.com Facebook: Adonai, Le Petit Libanais
Only a place like ADONAI LE PETIT LIBANAIS can transport you back to the authentic and marvelous Phoenician times of which the Lebanese are quite proud. Founded by Bernard Mahfouz in 2010, ADONAI LE PETIT LIBANAIS is one of those cozy and comfortable eateries that set the benchmark for themed restaurants with an innovative ambiance amidst the stone paved pathways of the historical and romantic city, Byblos. ADONAI is a Phoenician name that stands for the expression “my lord/master” with “Adon” meaning “lord”. The Greeks later borrowed the word and called their Greek God of beauty and desire Adōnis. ADONAI LE PETIT LIBANAIS’s cuisine is distinguished with its specialty fekhara cooking technique (cooking food in pottery plates and bowls). All grilled platters are cooked in the fekhara for that unique traditional taste. The chef uses regional and homemade products freshly served on a daily basis. Weight watchers can rest assured, as all the menu’s items are cooked oil free. We recommend you try ADONAI’s specialty dish called Mawkade, a fekhara filled with charcoal that gives customers the pleasure of grilling their own vegetables and benefiting from its heat to warm themselves up during the cold winter season. The restaurant serves couples, tourists and food connoisseurs lunch, dinner and of course the customary hookah in its outdoor

seating area both during the summer and winter seasons. Special offers: Available offers for groups and agencies upon request. Opening hours: Monday - Sunday from 12PM - 12AM Outdoor seating area available

AL FALAMANKI is a wonderfully bucolic and traditional Lebanese café located on a 25,000 sqft piece of land in the heart of Beirut. Its doors are open 24/7 and it features a beautiful chicha garden in a typical Lebanese village setting.
AL FALAMANKI
The café is named after Khalil AL FALAMANKI, a globetrotter from the past era whose story is worth telling. He lived a full life, travelled all around, which gave him the chance to meet many celebrities! He offered his wits his charm and reliability to all those that needed it, which turned him into a hot commodity amongst the stars who relied blindly on his efficiency and loyalty. Running up against such a high profile figure the food had to match up in quality, so this café’s savvy and fun loving developers went on a road trip all over Lebanon on a quest to find premium ingredients hidden in Lebanon’s lost villages, where authentic production techniques withstood the test of time, giving the products a richness in flavors and quality. You will find a tabbouleh using young grape dressing instead of lemon or a cheese brought all the way from Hrajel or even a plate of foul medammas so flavorful it puts Egyptians to shame. Also on the menu are all kinds of traditional Lebanese mezzes as well as an array of delectable specialties, homemade cooking, grills and the inevitable Saj due to its special dough containing no milk, sugar nor oil. As for entertainment at AL FALAMANKI you will never run out of options; you can indulge in a game of cards or backgammon while being swept away by Fairuz’s melancholic voice creating

DIRECTOR GURU
Give us a brief into your background, where you grew up, education… I am from Arbanieh-Lebanon. I graduated with a masters degree in Cinema and Audio Visual to become a cinema director. I worked in many fields until I became a director. Today, I am the owner of two companies and two restaurants. How did you initially get involved in the project? Why were you chosen to be the director? Today we are shooting the 4th season of “3ish Beirut”, on OTV channel. I think it is a challenge for us as a director and crew to shoot and show Lebanon’s nightlife and activities away from war, conflicts and turmoil. OTV gave me the privilege and chose me to be the director of the program. It was a shocking program when we first started in 2007, we were highly criticized, along we also got positive comments and feedbacks since we were and still are showing the real face of energetic Lebanon, the way we want everyone to see it. What was the casting process like? Were you the one who chose the presenters? And why them? I was the one to choose the presenters. “3ish Beirut”, was presented by only one anchor Ms. Stephy Faissal, but unfortunately Stephy stopped shooting because she is getting married soon. The previous seasons were very successful ones and Stephy was great. For the new season, I had a new format or idea. I wanted 4 anchors this time from different nationalities. It was hard at first to find the ladies. I wanted an Asiatic lady, so I called the Chinese Embassy and got Ms. Diana, then the French Embassy and got Ms. Adelie. I searched for an American lady
42
What advice can you give, from personal experience, to future directors? I advise them to be hard workers even if sometimes they will work for free. You should love to work without nagging especially in this kind of business. You should be good communicators and always be creative.
but did not find. Then I found Ms. Joanna a Serbian lady, and last of course the Lebanese lady; Ms. Sady.
Tell me about some difficulties you face in your career. All of my programs are hard ones. For example in “Le’ouna Aal Seha”, many of my crew members were injured and many people were in danger. Moreover, many losers after the games thought and said we cheated and made others win. In addition, to the lack of sponsors for the programs which forces us to lower the quality of the show.
What do you think about RPN guide? I think we needed a professional magazine in this field and RPN closed the gap. I use it as a reference almost everyday. I just love also working with the whole RPN team.
Tell us about the show. How are you cooperating with your crew to give out the best? At first, with four new anchors, it was a hard task. I taught them how to walk, stand, and talk infront of the camera. But the enthusiasm of the ladies and mine as well, made it much easier, and our cooperation was effective. Being a director can be a time consuming job what do you do for hobbies? Do you have any peculiar interests? How do you manage your days and time? I am a hard working person; sometimes I work for 16 hours per day and even 20 hours. Moreover, the program, company, and restaurant are taking all my time and sometimes I find it hard to manage. What limitations does a movie, show, music video,… director have? I always surpass my limitations. I did several programs no one else has done before. My only limitation is low budget for a new show and repetition. Are you working on future projects? Of course I am, on a huge project in Lebanon produced by Propaganda Production House, in addition to TV shows in Iran and Dubai.

www.bagatellebeirut.com
BAGATELLE BISTRO À VIN is the latest concept created by veteran Nabil Majdalani assisted by Pauline Korban Narssis. It is a typical European/Mediterranean bistro serving a variety of recipes from the South of France, Italy, Spain and Greece. BAGATELLE BISTRO À VIN is well placed in a renovated old house that was originally built in 1927. The character of the traditional Lebanese house gives the interior warmth and a homey style decor. The dining room atmosphere mostly consists of natural earth tones while the modern artwork; created by local and modern artists, graciously adorn the walls. Perhaps the most notable feature of the main dining area is the inclusion of a large wood fired oven displayed prominently within BAGATELLE’s unique décor and accentuated by the cherry red wine bar display. The meaning of the word BAGATELLE is behind the concept and the character of the place. It literally means, “a short piece of literature or of instrumental music typically light” in other words, it comes in the sense of, “the assortment of meaningless stuff.” BAGATELLE BISTRO À VIN is the perfect setting for businessmen, couples, families, wine connoisseurs, students and tourists. It wholeheartedly serves breakfast, lunch and dinner varieties inspired by Mediterranean and European cuisine. The menu was conceived by using local products and organic greens while mixing flavors from the Mediterranean Sea adding a value to the authenticity of all dishes and trendy Pizza menu.

Michel Sardou,
Sings His Greatest Hits in Jounieh
For the 2013 edition of the Jounieh International Festival, organized by the NGO Phellipolis, the internationally loved star of French music, Michel Sardou, whisked Jounieh into another universe last night, June 29th 2013, as part of his “Les Grands Moments” (The Greatest Moments) tour.
PRESS RELEASE
The Jounieh International Festival wows its audience year after year with spectacular shows and much-loved artists and did not stray from that tradition in 2013, with its first big concert giving Lebanese music lovers the chance to live a great moment with this great French singer. Michel Sardou was born in Paris in 1947 and dove into the world of music in 1965. However, his career was launched later, in 1967, when Charles de Gaulle requested that Sardou’s song, “Les Ricains” be pulled off airways, which had people buzzing the singer’s name. And in 1970, Michel Sardou became a household name, singing hit after hit –his disc J’Habite En France was his first commercial success, and songs like les Lacs du Connemara, Je Vais T’Aimer, Vladimir Ilitch, En Chantant, La Rivière de Notre Enfance, Musulmanes, la Java de Broadway, La Fille aux Yeux Clairs… quickly gained popularity. There is no doubt that his most famous single, La Maladie D’Amour (The Love Disease), made him a legend, but also makes people think he only sings about love, which is not the case. The singer deals with social issues in his songs and is a great philanthropist. He was friends with Coluche, the founder of the Les Restos Du Coeur charity, and participated in the first Enfoirés tour in 1989 to fund it. His career is not limited to song –he appeared on the big and small screens as well as in stage productions. With his musicians and backup singers, Michel Sardou enchanted the audience and delighted everybody with his greatest hits. The ecstatic crowd welcomed him with thunderous applause and lived his greatest moments along with him, carried away by his voice and clapping along to the hits they all knew. The crowd was eclectic, with people of all ages attending the concert, for Michel Sardou’s voice and art have not aged with the years and his energy on stage made this concert a superb start for Jounieh’s 2013 concerts.

email: robertsebaali@hotmail.com facebook group: Beit Kifa Restaurant
The Taste of the Past Savored in the Present Anis Freiha, the Lebanese author who wrote extensively about Lebanese traditional village life defined BEIT KIFA, which is originally a very old word with the following:
BEIT KIFA
“The “B” in “Beit” Kifaya originally comes from rock, and “Kifaya” either comes from the definition of stone or rock or from the word “Kfa” which gives it the final definitions of a quarry or a curved bend. So the word “Beit Kifaya” either means a house that isn’t visible or a stone house. Another definition for this word might be the place where stone worshiping occurs because stone columns or worshiped stones (known in ancient Lebanon) are called “kifa.” Founded by Robert Sebaali in August 2012, BEIT KIFA is a cozy, summery and wintery restaurant set in an authentic and traditional stone house in the beautiful and popular Bekfaya town located in the Metn District region of Mount Lebanon. BEIT KIFA serves students, businessmen, couples, 18+, families, tourists and groups the best lunches, dinners, afternoon tea, drinks and hookahs in the area. Naturally BEIT KIFA’s cuisine is Lebanese with a number of well-loved international specialties. Even though BEIT KIFA serves the best of Lebanese and international food we still recommend you go for their unique Potatoes, Grilled Salmon, Mixed Grill Platter, Cuisse de Grenouilles à la Provençale (Frogs Legs of Provencale) and Escargot (Cooked Snails) for a daring and unforgettable experience.

Fireworks show
JOUNIEH INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL 2013
The Jounieh International Festival promised us a spectacular show and they delivered on that promise with their opening ceremony for the 2013 edition of the festival. On the first night of summer, the skies of the coastal city of Jounieh were on fire with an impressive display of synchronized fireworks, which promised us an unforgettable festival to come, with names such as Michel Sardou, Mika, Ragheb Alama and the finalists’ tour from The Voice: La Plus Belle Voix.
PRESS RELEASE
After a countdown that had everyone waiting with bated breath, the fireworks shot up into the night sky, reflecting beautifully on the glittering Mediterranean and illuminating the boat gathering in the middle of the bay (which only happened after receiving the green light from relevant authorities). One of the boats hosted the famous DJ SaĂŻd who spun his way into the hearts of those on the entire coast: thanks to a line array system, every person on the coast of the bay danced the night away to the beats he played until dawn broke. It was truly an awe-inspiring opening ceremony heralding an unforgettable 2013 festival!

Costa The Costa Way
COSTA COFFEE
The first cup of Costa coffee was poured for the very first time in 1971 in London. Its creators, the brothers Sergio and Bruno Costa, first sold their coffee to a handful of local caterers, then to some delicatessens. A few years later, they opened their first coffee shop. Today COSTA COFFEE is the largest and fastest growing coffee shop chain in the UK, and is proudly expanding across the world. So while a lot may have changed since that first cup was savored, our coffee certainly hasn’t. We still slow-roast our beans in exactly the same way, and even in the same roasters, as Sergio did on that momentous morning 41 years ago. And as long as coffee lovers like it that way, we’ll continue to do so. We have been operating in Lebanon since 2006 serving the best coffee, mouth-watering sandwiches, fresh salads and indulging pastries. The COSTA brothers called their special blend of coffee beans Mocha Italia. Its creation owes everything to their perfectionism - and its survival to this day speaks volumes about its quality. Made exclusively from slow-roasted beans, its’ beautifully balanced, with the sweetness, bitterness and body needed to produce the perfect cup of coffee.
70
As for the blend itself? Well, that’s a closely guarded secret. But you can enjoy its distinctive flavor - and a warm welcome - at any of our 1,700 Costa stores in 25 countries worldwide, of which 5 are in Lebanon: - Ashrafieh, Sassine Square - Hamra - Verdun - Ghazir, Maamiltein Highway - Bhamdoun (seasonal) Opening hours: Daily from 7:30am till 1am

Mika Rocks Jounieh
JOUNIEH INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL 2013
Following the incredible performances of French music giant Michel Sardou and Arabic pop superstar Ragheb Alama, the 2013 edition of the Jounieh International Festival, organized by the NGO Phellipolis, gave Lebanese music lovers one of the year’s most memorable performances in an amazing concert by Mika, the international star with Lebanese roots.
PRESS RELEASE
Born Michael Holbrook Penniman Jr. on August 18th, 1983 in Beirut to a Lebanese mother and an American father, the boy we know today as Mika had to leave a country torn by a devastating civil war and took refuge in Europe –first in Paris, then in London. At the tender age of 7, Mika starts noticing his musical talents; in 2006, his first single, Relax, Take it Easy was made available for digital download and his album, Life in Cartoon Motion hit the stands. Selling more than 6 million copies worldwide, it is a certified diamond album. The single Love Today, taken off that same album, was nominated at the 2008 Grammy Awards. In 2009, Mika released his second album, The Boy Who Knew Too Much, a certified triple platinum album selling more than 350 000 copies around the world. In 2010, he released the song Kick Ass (We Are Young), a single off the soundtrack for the movie Kick Ass. His third album, The Origin of Love, was released in 2012 and includes songs in both English and French, including the French hit Elle Me Dit. In 2013, Mika announced he’d be the first international mentor on the Italian version of X Factor, and he delved into fashion design –he recently released a clothing line for Belgian clothes brand JBC. Mika’s songs are, for the most part, upbeat and fun, but he does not shy away from delicate matters, thorny subjects and taboos. He has repeatedly said he refused any label, sexual or other, that society tried to impose. This British-American-Lebanese singer-songwriter is known for his incredible stage presence and the energy he brings to every performance. Yesterday’s concert saw him stay true to this, and Mika’s fans gave back all the energy the singer communicated to them, singing with him and clapping along to the beat of his hit song. This singer, who often declares his love for Lebanon on Twitter, completely charmed his public and rocked Jounieh.

More on Jewellery Buying Compared to GOLD, SILVER is more adaptable. It has an easy going feel to it that other metals do not. It also gives you great scope for experimenting and converting into wonderful designs. Wearing a designer silver pendant or a ring is classy and is a show stealer for any party or gathering. They are best for formal wears. Silver complements your apparel completely unlike gold which looks good with specific dresses. Create your own fashion statement with silver jewellery.
By Gary Hutchings / Article Source: Articlebliss
SILVER is also good for making into abstract designs that suit modern sensibilities. Most youngsters especially girls go for the much in vogue abstract silver earrings or pendants. The best part is that abstract silver JEWELLERY is inexpensive and easily available. You do not have to follow any specific shape or size of SILVER JEWELLERY. Unlike gold there is no conventional shape and design for SILVER. Make your silver JEWELLERY in any shape or figure you like. You can go for simplistic designs, evocative ones or symbolic figures. Often complete abstract designs without any meaning too can be worn for all occasions. An organic or uneven stone design can look both funky and classy at the same time, so they are hugely popular with both young people and middle aged ladies. If you are looking or an abstract design of your own then go in for customized handcrafted SILVER JEWELLERY. You can also try to change the conventional shapes a bit to make them your own like an elongated heart shaped pendant, an uneven flower ring or a twisted ring. If it is different and attractive people are surely going to look at it twice.

KRISPY KREME is an international retailer of premium-quality sweet treats, including its signature Original Glazed® doughnut. Headquartered in Winston-Salem, N.C., the company has offered the highest-quality doughnuts and great-tasting coffee since it was founded in 1937.
Krispy Kreme
History:
“Krispy Kreme’s founder Vernon Rudolph and his uncle purchased Joseph LeBeouf’s donut shop on Broad Street in Paducah, Kentucky along with a secret recipe for yeast-raised doughnuts in 1933 acquired from a New Orleans French Chef. Rudolph began selling the yeast doughnuts in Paducah and delivered them on his bicycle. The operation was moved to Nashville, Tennessee. Rudolph sold his interest in the Nashville store in 1937 and opened a doughnut shop in Winston-Salem, North Carolina selling to grocery stores and then directly to individual customers. Expansion occurred in the 1950s, including an early store in Savannah, Georgia, and United States/South. By the 1960s, Krispy Kreme was known throughout the Southeast, and it began to expand into other areas. In 1976, Krispy Kreme Doughnut Corporation became a wholly owned subsidiary of Beatrice Foods of Chicago, Illinois. The headquarters for Krispy Kreme remained in Winston-Salem. A group of franchisees purchased the corporation back from Beatrice Foods in 1982”.
96
In addition to our KRISPY KREME retail shops, our premium quality doughnuts are available in mass merchant, grocery and convenience stores throughout the US. Best known for our fresh, glazed, yeast-raised doughnuts, we also offer more than 25 other varieties, including cake doughnuts.

“Ksar Lebanese Diner - Where Food is made with Love” KSAR gets its name from the Berber language that is still spoken in North African countries like Morocco and Algeria. The name itself means “Old Castle” referring to a type of ruin. Not surprisingly, if you look around the restaurant you will find some old and interesting features commemorating the restaurant’s given name, such as the burning torches outside, the fireplaces inside, and the old street scene featured in the restaurant. KSAR is located in Byblos, a famous city known for its historical & mythological richness and we like to think of KSAR as being part of that abundant privilege. One of the many colorful aspects you will notice about KSAR is that it is smoothly divided into several areas, each one with its own aura, setting and magic.
KSAR
The lounge seating section is especially designed to provide customers with the casual and comfortable feels of a diner. As for those wishing to nicely settle in a more traditional atmosphere for the evening, the typical Arabic restaurant seating section is the perfect spot. The grand structure of KSAR is designed around the concept of a pergola, which is a nicely shaded sitting area allowing customers to sit contentedly in a ‘semi-outdoor’ area encircled with the calming effect of surrounding foliage. Perfect for a Narguileh after delicious meals!
98
The delightful Andalusia style architecture intertwined with the charming pergola concept both translate into a harmonious combination of old and new. The former duo of totally different worlds is best described in KSAR’s fusion cuisine menu and perfectly portrayed in its mix of hummus and steak platter; and speaking of platters don’t forget to try the special “Ksariyet” dish! KSAR’s menu consists of scrumptious lunch, brunch and dinner options with an interesting array of drinks to accompany your meals and/or Narguileh. KSAR complements its services with a relaxing selection of the best Oriental and lounge music followed with traditional Lebanese beats and local favorite “Fayrouziyat” tracks.

A stroll down Rue Mar Maroun, just behind Gemayze, reveals a tucked away street with some of Beirut’s best establishments. Among these hot spots is the family owned and operated Argentinean grill, LA PARILLA. With its rustic feel, family style appeal, and mouth-watering menus, it is no wonder that this place has been booked every night since 2005.
LA PARILLA
Admittedly, the special grilling method and the Argentine beef are the only two things that make this tasty restaurant Argentinean, but that does not stop the place from feeling passionately Latin. The design, imagined and executed by Mireille Hayek, is thematically structured around Spanish and South American influences but above all, comfort. The interior’s bold statements meet delicate details and contribute to the welcoming feeling of sitting in a place one could call home. From the love and affections of Mrs. Hayek, she has adoringly poured over each detail, from mismatched plates to rawhide lamps. The entrance, layers of suede, wood, paint, silk, and brick, combine together to create a luxuriously decadent pallet that immediately overwhelms the senses. The pallet can be distilled into three main colors, blood red, dark brown and cream. Used in a variety of textures, from brick to animal hide, they work together to create a passionate atmosphere that feels more like a finely designed family dining room than high-profile restaurant.
102
There are five individual dining rooms and each has its own specific character. One feels like a Spanish courtyard in Valencia, another a chicly modern Wrangler inspired living room, and a passionately fiery room washed in red with a wall-sized mirror reflecting the delicious wine selection is a private party favorite. The family of owners pride themselves on their restaurants offering warm and relaxed atmospheres; with passion shining through the food and dĂŠcor. At LA PARILLA one can, with reservations, walk in and immediately feel welcome. Someone is always there to greet you and ensure your comfort and gustatory satisfaction. Grilled-to-perfection cuts of beef, salmon tartar, and deserts to-die-for are just a few of the delicious reasons to show up and enjoy this place.

I came to Lebanon to participate in an exchange program at the Holy Spirit University of Kaslik. I majored in Political Science and International Relations. 2- How did you first get interested in presenting? I got involved in presenting when Mr. Gino Khoueiry was searching for a French presenter and luckily he chose me. I liked the idea since I am a sociable person and like to talk and communicate. Moreover, I like Lebanon, and wanted to show Lebanon’s good aspects. 3- What would be the next steps in your career? Where would you like to see yourself in a year? I really want to work in my major because I like it, however I liked the presenting experience too, so I’m not really sure yet. 4- What do you think about RPN guide? I think that RPN guide is really good, if someone does not know Lebanon, in RPN he/she can find what he/she is missing. Personally, it helps me a lot; I discover and get to know unexpected and new places.

Top 3 British Food
By Sandy Tunsky / Article Source: www.upublish.info «To read the rest of these instructions please visit the article source online.»
British cuisine has been known for its specific cooking traditions and practices associated with the United Kingdom. It has also been traditionally limited in its traditional recognition to the “full breakfast” and the “Christmas dinner”.Nowadays, British food has evolved as there have also been some influences from other cultures. Below are some of the top great British dishes known around the world. 1. Roast Beef and Yorkshire Pudding The Yorkshire pudding is a staple of the British Sunday lunch and in some cases is eaten as a separate course prior to the main meat dish. It is often claimed that the purpose of the dish was to provide a cheap way to fill the diners - the Yorkshire pudding being much cheaper than the other constituents of the meal - thus stretching a lesser amount of the more expensive ingredients as the Yorkshire pudding was traditionally served first. The Yorkshire pudding is made from batter and usually served with roast beef and gravy. 2. Fish and Chips This dish remains very popular in the UK and in areas colonized by British people in the mid 19th century. This typically consists of battered (or sometimes bread crumbed) fish (traditionally cod or in Australia, flake, but sometimes haddock or plaice), which is deep-fried and accompanied by deep-fried ‘slab-cut’ chips. 3. Shepherd’s Pie Shepherd’s pie, also known as “cottage pie” is one of the most widely known British dishes. The term cottage pie is known to have been in use in 1791, when the potato was being introduced as an edible crop affordable for the poor. The term “shepherd’s pie” did not appear until 1877, and since then it has been used synonymously with “cottage pie”, regardless of whether the principal ingredient was beef or mutton. This dish is a meat pie with a crust of mashed potato. Popular British food also includes the Sunday roast, bangers and mash, welsh cakes and many more but these three serves as some of the most widely known and appreciated British dishes around the world.

How To Eat Black Foods In More Nutritional Ways BLACK FOODS are rich in essential amino acids, which could strengthen the body’s resistance to heat, cold, fatigue and hypoxia. So they are very helpful in improving immunity and preventing aging. Many people know that BLACK FOODS contain high nutrition and frequent eating is beneficial to body health such as black sesame, black rice, black date, black beans, black fungus and seaweed. But people often make some mistakes to affect the absorption of food nutrients.
By Code Blue / Article Source: Articlebliss
BLACK SESAME should be grounded into powder to eat. It contains abundant unsaturated fatty acids, which help the brain and intellectual development, prevent aging and provide necessary abundant zincs. However, eating the whole grain of sesame seeds is not good for body absorption. If people ground sesame seeds to eat, the nutrients in it are easier to be digested and absorbed. People who like eating it should prepare a small mortar or crushers. Do not get rid of peels of eggplant and grapes in eating. When eating eggplant and grapes, people are accustomed to remove the peels which lose a lot of nutrients virtually. The dark color skins often contain abundant vitamins, dietary fiber and various trace elements. For example, purple grapes contain the antioxidant to prevent aging and its content in peel is much higher than that of flesh. Eggplant is rich in vitamin E and vitamin P, which have the function of lowering cholesterol, improving the flexibility of the capillary and protecting cardiovascular blood vessel. In the eggplant skin, the content of nutritional substance is the highest. BLACK BEAN products could be eaten more. People often pay more special attention to black fungus, mushrooms and seafood, but they often ignore a kind of black food – BLACK BEANS. The BLACK BEANS are not only foods but also medicine to supplement kidney and expelling coldness. It is effective in improving the body immunity and reducing the incidence of cardiovascular diseases. So, people should eat more black beans products such as BLACK SOYBEAN milk and tofu. Since BLACK FOODS have so many advantages, people are suggested to add BLACK FOODS to their daily recipe to have delicious and nutritional meal every day.

WRAPSODY
Just the word “wrap” has the power to make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Picture being wrapped up in your blanket on a cold night or wrapped up inside the arms of the person you love. Imagine the director of the movie you’ve been waiting for calling out “that’s a wrap!” bringing you that much closer to seeing it. It’s a feel-good word. It feels almost as good as it tastes and that has never been clearer in WRAPSODY’S jazzy and funky concept. A sandwich gets the job done. It’s a little boring, but it’ll do for a quick meal. Pizza is old news but sometimes it’s like, what else is available? It can all be so blah. But, not wraps. Wraps are a different story. The way the bread rolls over the meaty or vegetable-y inside, leaving a little peak at the bottom so that some of it falls leaving you a little extra something after you’re done. WRAPSODY Café and Wraps knows all about contemporary West-Coast inspired dishes and it may be time for you to get better acquainted. Wrap Yourself in Flavor A symphony of flavors is what WRAPSODY Café and Wraps aims to create. Understanding the unbelievably desirable effect of stuffed sandwiches, they not only bring you a sample of local wraps, but provide international wraps, representative of Greek, French, Hawaiian and Italian ‘flavas’, to name a few. Using only the freshest ingredients, WRAPSODY Café and Wraps invites you into its modern yet funky restaurants to grab one of its delicious wraps and sip on a cocktail or some coffee with a side of our warm tasty pastries.

The simple and cozy locations, would it be in Le Mall Dbayeh or in Kaslik, with a very chilled out atmosphere, are a great place to laugh with some friends, get some work done or even bring a date. A wrap is one thing, but the ability to sample wraps from all over the world in one place? There’s just something magical about it. If you’ve got a group of friends and you’re looking for a new hangout place, this one screams, “let it be me” if only for the style and uniqueness it oozes. Grab a wrap, listen to some music, sip on some specialty coffees and lattes, or delicious fresh fruit smoothies and simply feel good. Grab a journey where your taste buds decide the destination.

YUMI is a sushi restaurant and bar that shines with uniqueness and charm in the energetic and lively Monot Street. In October 2011, three Japanese cuisine enthusiasts, Fady Karam, Nagi Saikali and Serge el Hage founded the contemporary lounge and bar in an effort to share their passion with avid sushi and Asian food eaters. YUMI was inspired by the fact that a need for decent sushi restaurants in Beirut was still required. Hence, the magnificent place was charmingly born, baptized in the name of elegance and named after the smooth Japanese female given name “YUMI”, which means beauty. And beauty is a character the restaurant openly seeks, interior, taste, presentation and service wise.
YUMI
In case you pronounced the name of the place “yummy” then you’re not mistaken since YUMI offers the yummiest freshly prepared dishes. YUMI combines three main elements, food, drinks and music when most of the Japanese restaurants in Lebanon do not focus on quality drinks or upbeat music. So, beside the great quality of food that YUMI serves, it also has a very trendy cocktail list and a DJ spinning the best tracks on the bar’s white turntables to keep the guests entertained everyday. The classy dark interior and exterior engulf trendy and outgoing guests, young and old, in a sense of ease and comfort enhanced by the colorful flavors offered by YUMI’s specialty items. Be sure to try the “YUMI Sakerinia’s”, “Marinated Yellowtail”, “French Kiss” and “Sashimi Rolls.”
154
Cocktails were never prepared as beautifully. With delicious and mesmerizing choices like the “Spiced Sakerina”, “Saketini”, “Singapore Sling”, “Bourbon Sour” and “Kir Royal”, YUMI has made a habit out of getting guests to come back for more every now and then. Average budget per person $45-50 Opening Hours Weekdays from 12pm till 12am Weekends from 6pm till 12am

Christine Choueiry actress
Christine Choueiry, was born on the 11th of March 1968. Christine never thought of becoming an actress until one day she discovered her love for acting and dared her friends of becoming a famous Lebanese actress. Her dream came true, and today Christine is one the most talented actresses in the acting field with multiple and various movies. Below, is few questions answered by Christine for us to know about her career.
1- How did you get involved in acting? Honestly, I got involved in acting by coincidence! I had a bet with my friends. I told them that I want to start acting and become an actress; they did not neither believe me nor encourage me. Until once, I met the great actor Duraid Laham and he proposed me a role for the first time in a film called “Al Takrir”; -“The Report”. After that, I stopped for 10 years, and then took back the acting experience.
ART GURU
2- What are some of the difficulties of the acting business? The most difficult thing in the acting business is finding the right text and the proper character which I should play. There is a big challenge in the acting field, in addition, to a heavy responsibility to convince viewers with the character you are representing. 3- In how many movies have you appeared till now? Films: Al Takrir; Director Doured Laham : 1986, Tayf Al Madina; Director Jean Chamoun : 1999 Alrisalah Al’akhira; Director Bassel Al Khatib :1998, Hastirya; Director Asad Fouladkar : 2002, Remember your Dream; Director Hassan Fathi : 2004, Falling From Earth Director; Chadi Zeineddine : 2007, Ghadi; Written by George Khabbaz and Directed by Amin Dor: 2012. Tv Films: Jarima men Naw3 Akhar: 1997, Houroub Ma Sabk l’Esrar; Director: Youssef Charafeldine : 1998, Alleyla Al Akhira; Director Tarik Al Nahri : 1998. Syrian Series: Al Touweby; Director Bassel Al Khatib : 1998, Abou Tayeb Al
156
Moutanabi; Director Faysal Al Zo’bi : 2002, Nizar Kabbani; Director Bassel Al Khatib : 2005, Rasa’el Hob wa Harb; Director Basel al Khatib : 2007, Tawk; Director Chawki El Majri : 2011. Short Films Blue Night; Director Fouad Aleywan : 1999, Hawa Beirut; Director Fouad Aleywan : 2002, Act1, Scene 10; Director Wafa’ Halawi : 2004, Duet For a Cello; Director Wafa’ Halawi : 2007, La Renontre; Director Selim Mrad : 2009, Sanofi-Aventis-Cancer; Director Roger Abou Jawde : 2009, Gehennah; Director Mauro Mueller : 2009, Un Conte a Rebours; Director Christine Safi : 2011, Regarde Moi; Director Remie Maksoud: 2011, Tajalli; Director Shady Abi Shakra: 2012. Theatre: Makatib; Director Jihad Al Andary: 2012, An Improvisation on Odette Salem; Director Meriam Bousselmi: 2012
with what I did till today in the acting field. However, every person dreams to have more than what he/she has or have done, I hope the coming roles or characters will be successful ones too.
7- Who are your favorite Lebanese actress and actor? Alia Nemri and Elie Snaifer, may there souls rest in peace, were two of my idols, in addition to Philippe Akiki. But unfortunately, these idols were not properly awarded nor given their right appreciation. 8- Tell me about a character you played, which you believe you could have played better? Ohh! All the characters! I ALWAYS criticize myself when I watch my work. There is always a frustration following me about the role I’m playing or working on. A person should always develop himself/herself to give better and bigger.
4- Which has been your favorite character that you have performed? Honestly, I love all the characters I have performed. All were good and in each one I had a new and unique challenge. In the last role I played which is “Ghadi” and which is coming out soon, I tried my best not to repeat myself and not to imitate my previous characters. However, I think the best characters I played were in movies for graduating university students. The first was “Insist of A Person” and a second called “Hopes of A Person”. The two movies had perfect scripts.
9- What qualifications do you think you need for this type of job? I believe the most important thing in acting is to know how to feel! If a person does not know the real meaning of feeling, and feeling in the right way, then he/she will never become an actor/ actress. To say the script and sentences in the appropriate, convincing and true way, a person should know the depth of his feelings and by this he/she will do the role well. 10- What do you think about RPN Guide? Actually, I read the interviews, and found really interesting ones and got to know many new characters and people. I liked the guide a lot and found it a reference for me when I want to visit or go to a new place. The recipes are perfect too. The guide is always used even after months and years; it should not be thrown away since it is durable.
5- You worked with many directors, with whom did you have the best acting experience? I had 3 unforgettable acting experiences with 1- Tunisian director Shawqi Al Majiri 2- Lebanese director Milad Abi Raad 3- Syrian director Bassel Al Khatib 6- Is there any character in a specific movie which you wished was yours to act? No, not really, I’m satisfied with the roles I got so far and proud

Ibrahim Pacha St. Mar Mikhael +961 1 575 675 Hip Beirutis pay attention: there’s a new hotspot in town. SECTEUR 75 is a restaurant-slash-bar that recently opened its doors in up and coming Mar Mikhael. The area’s recent boom of boutique bars and stores has led many to compare the neighborhood to New York’s famous meatpacking district. If that’s the case, then SECTEUR 75 will settle in perfectly – the laidback, trendy clientele and atmosphere would not look out of place in Manhattan. Behind a silver industrial door and up a short flight of stairs, the main dining area and bar contains both deep couches and high tables, with red and black seating. The décor is intentionally and artfully mismatched. Check out the distressed walls sprayed with bright graffiti and the vintage chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. Outside, the terrace is great to enjoy SECTEUR 75’s brunch menu (which rotates, but always has eggs on the menu) with a view of the busy street below. Besides brunch, SECTEUR 75 serves an appetising set of cocktails and international dishes. Classic drinks are given a fresh twist by the bar’s mixologists: a kiwi daiquiri, thyme vodka gimlet and bourbon basil martini are just a few of the tempting treats on offer. The kitchen serves an equally stylish mix. A bijou menu of appetizers, main dishes and desserts combine thoroughly 2011 flavors.

B 018 is a new wave of “Musicotherapy” for the youth who lived in war torn Beirut, a dream created by the born musician Naji Gebran. It all started at Naji’s beach apartment numbered B 018 in 1982, where friends used to gather to live Naji’s “musicotherapy” sessions, while leaving behind their worries. Around the end of 1993, after B 018’s positive impact that touched Naji’s close circle of friends, Naji decided to go public and B 018 was born in an industrial area northeast of Beirut. For 3 years Naji played music from Umm Kulthum to Miles Davis and groovy funky house to techno. A new school of music evolution has impacted the nightlife scenery in Beirut. On the 18th of April 1998, the new B 018 opened its doors to the public in Karantina located in the northern entry point of Beirut. This prize winning architectural monument by Naji’s cousin Bernard Khoury along with Naji Gebran’s “musicotherapy” sessions being felt by clubbers was a major contributor to the new exotic lifestyle of Beirut. B 018 was nominated as the 5th best club in the world by the American “Wall Paper Magazine” in 2005, 2006, 2007, and #6 in 2008. B 018 is also considered “THE” afterhours’ club in the Middle East and a pioneer when it comes to the quality of its music, its well-informed fan base, its international DJ bookings, consistency, attention to detail, sound system, and atmosphere.

Lebanon it is! Despite all the situations Lebanon has gone and is still going through, despite the wars, the conflicts, and the political turmoil, Lebanon is still and will always be considered the number one tourism destination for several nationalities and countries. Many ask why? What makes Lebanon one of the best touristic places? I believe the answers of these two questions are various, yet plenty. No one really knows the true meaning of being Lebanese and of being a citizen of this small country. We have surpassed wars, conflicts, poverty, hunger, persecution, injustice, and much more, yet we still party till dawn, live like no one, drink, dance, laugh, love, and smile, like nothing has ever happened. Behind every person’s smile is a story which no one will ever understand, yet Lebanese citizens still enjoy life and live it to the fullest. In every broken building in Beirut there is a story. In every house there is the smell of poverty and illness. Yet in Lebanon, we have everything. We have expensive fashion, we have the Mediterranean, we have parties, we have classical ruins, we have love and heartbreaks castles, we have mountains and beaches, we have fun, and YES we have everything! Because we are special, we did a Special Lebanon. Because we want to live and let our children live, we made a Lively Lebanon. Because nothing breaks and tear us apart, we made a United Lebanon. Lebanon it is! And Lebanon will always be!

Alain Abou Jaoude Radio One DJ
Alain Abou Jaoude, a Lebanese optimist DJ, gained thousands and millions of fans and followers because of his perfect taste in music. Alain dedicated the past 20 years to play his music and mixes in Radio One Lebanon, making this career he chose a bright and shinning one. Read and enjoy an interview with Alain Abou Jaoude, who not only loves his job as a DJ, but prefers it on any other. 1-What made you discover your passion for DJING and becoming a music connoisseur? Music is where my heart is. My sister Aline was the first to notice my talent and all my friends encouraged me. Music makes people come together, it is a universal language we all understand and react to. When I chose to become a DJ, I was aiming to have an international job. I have a complimentary job as an F&B Sales and Marketing Manager along with DJ-ing.
MUSIC GURU
2-Tell us about your first days as a DJ in Radio One. It was fun. We worked on Tapes and Turntables. We had big archive of music and mixes. It was cool, people would call the station, tell me their stories, request songs that fit their moods and situations. I got excited by their calls and positive feedbacks about my music, which encouraged me to dig out new ideas and innovations to create new and different music and mixes. I used to count on my spirit since the only interaction I had with my audience was the phone. This is basically the difference between a Clubbing DJ and a Radio DJ. 3-What is your favorite thing about being a DJ? Being a DJ is a mission. I feel I am delivering the good taste of music and also a message to the listeners. The audience is counting on you to make their day, particularly on weekends and when coming back from work. Maybe this is why we keep on doing “pressure tests� in order to measure the psychological effect of our music on the audience, and how fast we are still capable of grabbing their attention. In my beginnings, during my training at BBC, I had a course called Psychological Music Therapy which helped me to understand how to read my audience preferences and tastes. As you know Radio has been elected to be the number one media mean listened to in Lebanon, due to the long hours of traffic we witness in the country. This is making our mission more and more difficult. 4-What type of equipment do you use? In the old days, we used to play music using the Turntable, Tapes, but we evolved with time. Nowadays, we have replaced 220
all that with Myriad, DRS and other equipment. In fact, Radio One utilizes state of the art broadcast equipment; we were the first radio in the Middle East to acquire digital audio play out system.We can import the radio jingles, the songs, the news and recorded programs from UK and USA. In case we have any failure or problem we use another standby PC to broadcast and play the songs. We use a third PC to receive by SMS and WHATSAPP the listeners’ dedications and songs they like to hear on air. When DJ-ing, you are not only playing music, but also you are creating your own style which will stamp you.
generation. They have the culture of music, and the modern music. They are up to date with all the international scenes. They follow and have a taste, especially in a country that plays all kind of music without exception of culture or language. 8-We know that in Lebanon we have several well-known radio stations, would you like to work at any station other than Radio One? No I have been DJ-ing in Radio One for 20 years now, and I am very happy and appreciated and it is still the number One Radio in the region. I am loyal to this Radio who granted me the chance to show my talent. Of course, if you want to evolve, you should do that in the same station where you are. Since I started DJ-ing at Radio One I made my audience, now after 20 years a whole generation came up, and I have made new fans and followers who listen to me because of my old listeners. It is somehow continuity.
5-What do you do when you are not spinning? When I am not spinning, I listen to music, search for the latest hits, or mix my own techniques… I train other DJs sometimes, and of course, check our various social medias. As you know our website www.radioone.fm has been awarded lately to be the best media website for its interactions. I invite you all to check it with patience as it has a lot to give. We are also on Twitter: @RadioOneLeb Facebook: Radio One Lebanon with nearly 100,000 Likers. Foursquare: Radio One Lebanon After all, my work as a DJ has no limits. I always have something to do and give.
9-Do you listen to any Lebanese DJ on the radio other than Radio One’s DJs? Actually, I don’t have the time as I have another job as an F&B/Sales & Marketing Manager at Phoenicia Hotel where I get to meet the other DJs in person during the various events we encounter. So I cannot say I do listen to other DJs on other radio stations but I wish I had time. 10-What do you think about RPN Guide? RPN was the first guide for restaurants, pubs and nightclubs few years ago, even before TimeOut Magazine. It did well and is still a useful tool. Even with the presence and excessive usage of the internet, RPN Guide remained the reference.

6-Where do you see yourself in 10 years? As you know I have been Dj-ing for nearly 20 years now, and I seriously think that in 10 years I will continue to be doing so… The career I made is infinite. I don’t get retired. I am happy with what I made: the reputation, the recognition, the admiration of my fans, all has been the fruit of a long time investment I have chosen to do to myself and by myself. I see myself blessed to have my audience listen to me since 20 years. They are now fathers and mothers and are having their daughters and sons listen to me too… It is such a reward to have this grace. This is why I tell you in 10 years I will be still be a DJ but with a twist… Maybe it is time I start talking about my upcoming show which will be a Sunday evening show where I will be play Chill out Lounge music from 10h00 am till 12h00 pm.

Darine Hamze actress
Darine Hamze, was born on the 5th of July 1979 as a second child to a flight engineer father and a housewife interior decorator mother, in the mountains of Souk El Gharb, Lebanon. She faced a childhood of constant traveling, changing of schools, between Souk El Gharb, Beirut and France during the civil war. She was finally sent to the United Kingdom between the age of 8 and 13, to a British boarding school in Bath, along with her two brothers. During her time in England, Darine discovered Shakespeare’s theatre and her early admiration for performance. Evidently her first appearance on a stage was during this young age in Bath participating in all school plays. Following is an interview with Darine about her love for acting and her work throughout her career.
1- How did you get involved in acting? It all started at young age. During school I got involved and participated in few theater plays. Then, I did my BA in Theater in the Lebanese University and continued my Masters in London in Westminster University.
ART GURU
2- How many plays have you done so far? I participated in 5 plays but these were long time ago. I prefer movies instead. 3- In how many movies have you performed up till today? I have 7 movies in Iran, where I have a big name and a good number of fans. In Lebanon I have 5 movies. In addition, to multiple TV series in Syria, Egypt, the Gulf, and Lebanon. And, some French movies like Beirut Hotel.
228
4- Are you working on any current project? Actually, I am traveling to the USA to Detroit for me to participate in the launching of the Lebanese American movie “Betroit” which is written and directed by Adel Serhan.
8- What has been your biggest achievement in the field of acting? My biggest achievements in the field of acting are that I opened up doors in bigger and several industries other than Lebanon. For example: the Persian and French societies where I have a big number of movies and work and which are big industries in the acting field.
5- Are you satisfied with the roles you have performed throughout your career? Surely yes, I am satisfied with the roles I have performed throughout my career. However, I always try to find new roles and characters in order to prevent repeating myself in my new projects.
9- What do you prefer, theater acting or movie acting? And why? As I have said before, I prefer movie acting. In movies expressions and feelings are clearly shown and more obvious to the viewer and audience because of the production, camera settings which includes a zoom in and a close up to the face and body of the actor.
6- Which has been your favorite character that you have performed? Actually, I love all the characters I have played. I like Leila in “Betroit”, it was a new role and a challenging one, and there were new scenes full of emotions and feelings because of domestic violence. Added, is my role in “Beirut Hotel” as a singer, a French-Lebanese movie. I can also add several characters I have played in Iranian movies.
10- What do you think about RPN Guide? Honestly, I liked so much your magazine. It is a very nice idea to have a guide which promotes and introduces our Lebanese hangout places and locations. I wish you all the luck and success in the coming years.
7- What are your strong points as an actress? I believe one of my strong points as an actress is that I have studied theater. Added to my study of theater and the depth of acting, is my talent and my unlimited passion for acting. Studying theater taught me to be spontaneous in the moment of acting and made my cast real and true. All these made from me a professional in the acting business.

Swimming Pools:
By Sonali Chauhan / Article Source: Articlebliss
Not to be mistaken to be the fancy of only SWIMMING enthusiasts, swimming pools today are also a symbol of luxury, and exude style at a very decent cost. Those that have any sort of SWIMMING POOL (indoor, outdoor, infinity, etc.) are bound to feel the pride of owning a special possession that is seen at very few homes, be it any country. Hence, those of you who wish to be the center of attention in your friends’ circle, besides investing in something worthwhile, must go for a SWIMMING POOL if you have the kind of space available. And even if you don’t, you can always get different swimming POOL quotations that will let you know the exact cost of SWIMMING POOLS that you wish to install in your home and other factors that need to be taken care of. The first thing that strikes the brain is that if at all one is interested in installing a SWIMMING POOL, what would be the approximate cost of it. Although this question is very vague, since that would depend on what kind of POOL do you want, what would be the area, what are the kind of tiles you want to put in it, and so and so forth. However, the best person to answer this question would be your POOL dealer, or a person who would be eventually installing a POOL at your home. Ideally, it’s always best to take quotes from a number of sources and then zero-in on the best one, but not always is the cheapest your best choice, since he could be compromising on the quality, and you certainly wouldn’t want such a huge investment to go waste just for the sake of you wanting to save a few thousands. The next point is regarding the usability of your pool. One must ensure that the SWIMMING POOL is always in a condition to be used, i.e., fir for all seasons. This could be done by installing internal cooling and heating systems for your POOL that would lead to easy accessibility in using it in both summers as well as winters, otherwise you might as well only be using it only in summers, or winters, depending on whichever system you have installed. A balance is a must hence for these things. The last point comes in terms of the appearance for the POOLS. Of late, there are plenty of fancy additions you can do to your personal POOL in terms of installing glass tiles, fountains, infinity systems that make the POOL seem like it’s stretching on endlessly, but all these come at a price tag, and some might be almost up to half the value of the SWIMMING POOL itself, but once you have done the hard part by investing the amount, the effect would be more than surprising to you, since all that matters sometimes, is what meets the eye.
