Feng Shui, literally meaning "wind and water," is a traditional Chinese philosophy linking the water element to the concepts of inner self, depth, reflection and calm. It is the key to a profound knowledge of human beings. Inspired by this element, L'Eau d'Issey is born, becoming one of the brand's signature fragrances.
In 2016, Issey Miyake looked at the concept of 'a drop of water' to create a new olfactory experience. Now, water trickles down an open blossom transforming each drop into nectar. L'Eau d'issey Pure Pétale de Néctar is born.
If you adore gardens in bloom and going on holidays to the beach, you should try immersing yourself in Issey Miyake's new scent. The top note interweaves crisp pear juice with honey and bergamot. The heart of the fragrance features rose, peony and light aquatic notes. You will find cashmeran, ambergris, sandalwood, white musk and violet in the base notes.
The petal turns into a blossoming flower, yielding a drop that captures its purest perfume… its nectar.
Clinique, one of the leading brands in skin care, offers the best options in body moisturisers everywhere you go.

IN the wake of Arsène Wenger's contract extension and the board's ambition to still compete at the top level, thus not in the Champions League, the complex situation surrounding Alexis' future emerges as expected.
Fortunately, Wenger has said earlier that he will keep both Alexis and Özil to the end of their contracts, with our without a new signature. Spectacularly wise from the Boss.
If Alexis wants to leave and we sell him for, lets say, 45 million. Surely we would have to replace him? But without Champions League, getting anyone near Alexis' capabilities is implausible at best. So it's more likely we'd buy someone good, not great, for about 30 million. Now we've profited only 15 million on selling our best player, and in my opinion taken a big step back from recovering a Champions League spot next season, let alone fighting for any trophies.
If we do keep him, even against his will, because of his extremely determined personality and his somewhat egotistical ability to play as if he is his own team, I'm sure he would not abandon his principals and hunger for success. A winner such as Alexis might track back a few times less, but will always be hungry to score as many goals, and win as many matches as possible. And it will be far easier to find a more suitable replacement for him if we regain a Champions League spot as well.
My concern is that if Alexis makes it clear he wants to leave, and the offers come flying in, Wenger might be honest enough to grant that wish, even though he has said he wouldn't. It's one thing to big tough with the media, another to reject someone's desperate wish face-to-face.
The worst case scenario is if negotiations with Alexis drag out through the summer, he eventually leaves in August, and we have to replace him last minute. In such a predicament, there surely is no point in selling him?
Money should not be an issue in the upcoming talks about a contract renewal. Alexis holds most of the bargaining chips, and arguing over money we can afford will only elicit avoidable risk and possible regret. Especially since we should make up some money through our superfluous squad, which we should reduce without replacements, but more about that in the next post.
The dramatic, but truthful, line to take from this is: "In the name of ambition you cannot sell your most important player." Even if he leaves for free in a year. Arsenal took a step backwards this season, however, one season out of the Champions League isn't financially nor reputably devastating. Concerning the ambition Wenger and the Arsenal board constantly speak about – winning domestic trophies as well as European ones – we cannot afford to take anymore steps backwards though.
In my admittedly biased opinion, Alexis is one of the top five best forwards in the world, easily. Maybe third behind Messi and Ronaldo. Keeping him at Arsenal should be on top of Wenger and the board's agenda this summer, and at any price.
In a few days I will consider the entire Arsenal squad and give a complete assessment of it, answering who should stay and who should not. As well as where to strengthen.
Stay tuned on the blog or add me on Twitter (KentAndersenn) for updates.

RSM Leadership Summit explores essential power of purpose in business
Date Monday, 22 October 2018
What does it mean to live and lead with a sense of purpose? How can purpose be defined, and why is it so important for organisations and people? Five exciting keynote speakers explored these topics at the RSM Leadership Summit on Friday 12 October 2018 to a capacity crowd in the historic Van Nelle Fabriek. Moderator Dorothy Grandia seamlessly wove together many layers of ideas, ideals and actions as presented by the speakers and audience.
Shaun Tomson encourages the audience to write their own code.
Michiel Muller: disruptive groceries
The first keynote was presented by 'serial entrepreneur' Michiel Muller, who has launched such industry-changing, consumer-empowering businesses as Tango (unmanned filling stations) and Route Mobiel and now, online grocery store Picnic.
How disruptive can groceries be? "We started Picnic with a clear purpose: the food system needs to be changed. Food waste, food miles, unfair trade, wasted time and air pollution from vehicles is creating big human problems, difficult problems – and big business can't solve this," he said. With Picnic's app-only 'shop', fleet of electric trucks, overnight order fulfilment, and free delivery at a pre-determined time Picnic is doing more than satisfying customers' needs: it is boosting sustainability and busting an outmoded grocery industry.
Prof. Daan Stam: in organisations, purpose comes from linking high and low goals
With his academic keynote entitled A science of purpose: a leadership perspective, RSM Professor Daan Stam provided insights gleaned from recent research into leadership, goal-setting, and communication. "Here's a spoiler: I'm going to say a purpose is a goal, but not every goal is a purpose." Discerning between high-level, long-term, abstract, self-defining goals – for example, I want to transform my industry – and low-level, tactical, concrete, short-term, get-the-job-done goals like I need to finish this tonight – Prof. Stam said: "I don't think the low goals or the high goals are purpose. I actually think that purpose is in the lines that run between these high and low goals, and that everything done in the organisation needs to be linked to the high goals in order to be purposeful."
After a roundtable discussion and plenary feedback on the first part of the day, attendees enjoyed a networking lunch.
Immediately after lunch the RSM Distinguished Alumni Awards were presented by Sue Martin, RSM Director of Alumni and Corporate Relations.
Marlies Dekkers: to define your purpose, find your fire
Marlies Dekkers, creator of the eponymous brand that has been shaping the world of lingerie since 1993, added a crucial element to the discussion of finding personal and organisational purpose: the cultural and societal context in which one lives. Dekkers discussed the various waves of feminism – "We're now in the third, moving to the fourth" – and the difficulty that women have had in finding individual purpose when historically their purpose was almost wholly dictated by society. Sent to housekeeping school by her parents because they couldn't imagine a better life for her, she rebelled. "I knew it wasn't my journey, but I didn't really know what else was out there. I had to find my inner fire, and follow that inner purpose – and it doesn't always give you a clearly marked road," she said.
Vincent van den Boogert: empowering people
"Banking is not always popular. So if there's one industry that needs a purpose, it is banking," said Vincent van den Boogert, CEO of ING in the Netherlands, during his keynote. So what is the purpose of a bank? If you're as diverse and international as ING, it's not easy to have a shared purpose, said Van den Boogert. "ING's purpose is empowering people to stay a step ahead in life and in business," he said. "We empower our customers to make smart financial decisions, since money matters," he said.
Shaun Tomson: write your own code
"We find our purpose or our purpose finds us," said Shaun Tomson, world-renowned surfer and entrepreneur who found his purpose – helping others to know, own and activate their own purpose – through personal loss. The author of The Surfer's Code presented his simple tool for connecting with purpose: writing a personal code of commitment, 12 key personal statements that start with the words 'I will'. "This is a tool for collective engagement, which helps distill and frame one's purpose into an actionable 12-line mantra for positive change."
After a wrap-up by Dorothy Grandia and a final word of thanks from Dean Van de Velde, the 450+ attendees enjoyed hosted networking drinks and appetizers.
The next RSM Leadership Summit will be held on Friday, 4 October 2019.

Defining the essentials of purpose


Pathologic myocardial hypertrophy develops when the heart is chronically pressure-overloaded. Elevated intracellular cGMP-levels have been reported to prevent the development of pathologic myocardial hypertrophy, therefore we investigated the effects of chronic activation of the cGMP producing enzyme, soluble guanylate cyclase by Cinaciguat in a rat model of pressure overload-induced cardiac hypertrophy. Abdominal aortic banding (AAB) was used to evoke pressure overload-induced cardiac hypertrophy in male Wistar rats. Sham operated animals served as controls. Experimental and control groups were treated with 10 mg/kg/day Cinaciguat (Cin) or placebo (Co) p.o. for six weeks, respectively.
Pathologic myocardial hypertrophy was present in the AABCo group following 6 weeks of pressure overload of the heart, evidenced by increased relative heart weight, average cardiomyocyte diameter, collagen content and apoptosis. Cinaciguat did not significantly alter blood pressure, but effectively attenuated all features of pathologic myocardial hypertrophy, and normalized functional changes, such as the increase in contractility following AAB. Our results demonstrate that chronic enhancement of cGMP signaling by pharmacological activation of sGC might be a novel therapeutic approach in the prevention of pathologic myocardial hypertrophy.

Which Opera Browser Should You Use in Android?
By Andrew Braun / Apr 14, 2019 Updated Sep 9, 2020 / Android, Internet
If you're part of the roughly two percent of the Internet that uses the Opera desktop browser (a perfectly respectable choice, to be sure), congratulations on being different! You may have also looked into getting your favorite browser for Android, only to find yourself confronted with three options, each bearing the Opera logo: Opera, Opera Mini, and Opera Touch. Each of these browsers is a legitimate Opera product, but they're all designed for different audiences and use cases. Their other product on the Play store, "Opera News," doesn't do any web browsing at all, just news aggregation.
As you might suspect, Opera is their standard flagship product, while Opera Mini is more lightweight. Opera Touch is the newest on the scene and, as the name implies, has been specially designed for use on smartphones. If you're not sure which one to choose and don't have the time or energy to download all three and give each one a shot, it'll probably help to know the major differences.
Related: Opera for Android Will Automatically Block Cookie Notifications
Opera: full-featured browser, most similar to the desktop version
If you like the desktop version of Opera, you'll probably like this app. It follows a similar design aesthetic, and most of the features you'll find in the main product are here as well. This includes the familiar speed dial (a quick-access list of frequently visited websites) on top and the newer addition of a customized news feed on the bottom where you can read through the news stories Opera thinks you'll like, though you can customize this as you like.
Your standard mobile browser features like incognito mode, night mode, browser sync, and ad-blocking are all here, but Opera also offers some tasty side dishes like a built-in free VPN, a crypto wallet, a data-saving mode (more about that in the Opera Mini section), and a text-wrapping feature to ensure that whenever you zoom in on text, the page is resized to fit into your browser screen.
Verdict: a solid all-around browser for Opera fans who want all the features, it's a good default choice.
Related: Why You Should Download Opera Mini and Give It a Go
Opera Mini: maximum data savings
If you have a good data plan and a relatively modern smartphone, you probably don't need Opera Mini. This browser is geared towards those browsing slow connections on underpowered devices. Your request for a website will first go to an Opera server, which will download the page for you, render it, compress it, and send the smaller page to your phone. You can even customize exactly how much you want it to compress; it maintains pretty good quality by default, but you can reduce page size (and often quality) by up to ninety percent with "Extreme" mode enabled. Data saving is also featured in their main mobile browser, but with fewer customization options.
Compared to Opera's main offering, Mini doesn't come up completely short on features. It includes the basics, like speed dial, the news feed, incognito mode, ad-blocking, night mode, sync, etc. The other extras, such as the VPN and crypto wallet, have been chopped in favor of size and performance, though.
Verdict: if you're on a limited data plan, have a bad connection, or have a lot of performance issues with your phone, Opera Mini is a great option. Otherwise, go with one of the others.
Related: How to Get the Most from the New Opera Touch
Opera Touch: designed for one-handed phone users
Opera Touch is the newest mobile browser launched by the company, and it's also the most different. It's designed on the principle that you should be able to browse the Internet with one hand, and it's marketed towards busy users who just want to get where they're going on the Internet. Several essential navigation buttons have been moved to the bottom in the form of the "Fast Action Button." Pressing and holding the button lets you see your tabs, search, voice search, or scan a QR code. Several of the other buttons are still near the top, though, so this works best for basic browsing.
It also comes with a browser sync feature called "Flow," which allows you to connect your browser across devices without setting up an account – you only need to scan a QR code. You can even send links and notes to your connected devices from within the browser.
Touch also comes with ad-blocking, a dark theme, speed dial, and cryptocurrency mining protection. Several other features we've come to expect from Opera are missing right now, though: there's no incognito mode, no data saving mode, no VPN, no crypto wallet, no news feed, et cetera. In many ways it's a totally different browser, and it might actually work best as an "on-the-go" complement to the main Opera mobile browser.
Verdict: it's shiny, very usable, but not your granddaddy's Opera. It might be best if used side by side with Opera.
I think I get it, but I mostly just scrolled down to the end hoping for a summary
Yeah, I know. I do the same thing. Here's your "too long; didn't read" summary:
Opera: a great all-around mobile browser with a significantly longer list of features than most of its competitors. Among the three, this is your best default option.
Opera Mini: basically just like Opera, but with fewer features and more powerful compression. If your top priority is saving storage space and/or data, go for this.
Opera Touch: this one is not like the others. It makes one-handed browsing a breeze, has a great look, and comes with some neat features, but misses out on most of the fancy Opera extras. It could be a good main browser or a good alternative browser for when you don't have enough hands.

Why would anyone use any Opera browser – it is owned by a Chinese Communist-aligned company with strong ties to the government. Why would you even begin to trust them?
Technically, Opera is still headquartered and developed in Norway and is therefore subject to European privacy laws. Fair enough point, though! China doesn't have the greatest reputation when it comes to digital privacy and using any Chinese or China-linked product, whether a smartphone, an app, or a browser, comes with potential risk. The same generally goes for using any Google/Facebook product or service; if you want them to find out things about you, it's best to steer clear.
For the security/privacy-conscious, Firefox and Brave are great options!

To make the bride look really like a bride, she must choose her special dress and a veil matching it. This accessory is able to turn every girl into a real stylish bride and make her even more beautiful. However, unfortunately, it is not always possible to combine the right veil with the right dress, so the whole wedding look may be impaired due to this.
How to choose a wedding veil to suit your holiday look?
ElenaMorar, the company-manufacturer of wedding veils, offers several tips that will help each girl to combine the wedding dress of any style with a veil. Sometimes it happens so that the wedding dress is sold without this popular wedding accessory or that the veil which is offered together with a dress does not meet of the bride's requirements. In both cases, it is necessary to take care of this element and purchase the one which will be suitable for all parameters.
Length and splendor of the veil. This question can be solved by the design and style of the wedding dress. In case if you have a bouffant outfit with a long skirt, you can safely take a long veil of a bold shape, which, as a rule, is made of veiling. If the dress is narrow or short, then you need to search for a short and not too wide veil.
Material and style. In this respect shade matters. Pay attention that the pale cream dress and the white veil or vice versa do not match. This will definitely affect the bride's style. Also, the fabric should approximate any used for the wedding dress.
Ways to get a perfect veil. If you made your wedding dress in the atelier, you can ask the seamstress to make a wedding veil in the same style. Also be sure to pay attention to the boutiques that buy veils wholesale from the manufacturer in Chernovtsy in order to offer buyers a good selection.
ElenaMorar, the manufacturer of wedding veils in the city of Chernovtsy, offers all entrepreneurs to visit our official website and view collections of beautiful and stylish veils that will surely please your future customers.
ElenaMorar, the company specialized in the production of wedding dresses and accessories, is pleased to present to all its regular and new customers a collection of marvelous and delicate bridal veils. Our production is designed for wholesale buyers, therefore, in most cases, we offer to buy wholesale veils at affordable prices, but, as an exception, we can also make a retail individual order.
What trends are prevalent in the new collection of veils from ElenaMorar?
Two-tiered veils of medium length with original edging. This collection includes models that have minimalistic edging in the form of a narrow or wide ribbon of color in tone of the product. And also with the original lace edging, with edging in the form of flowers, with inconspicuous edging in the form of beads and pebbles.
Long veils down to the floor and longer without additional ornaments from quality material that falls well and shimmers in the sun.
Pay particular attention to the model F-16-024. It is made of high-quality guipure from European manufacturers. Veil is perfect for a vintage style wedding, as it carries a touch of antiquity and elegance. Among all the veils of 2016 from us, this model is the most unusual and will suit romantic, but at the same time extravagant brides. This model is the highlight of the collection.
We also should mention the two models from the 2016 collection of slightly more than the average length – these are F-16-010 and F-16-012. The first of them is a gentle and refined model with a wide application all round, which will suit gentle and romantic people. The second is a strict sophistication that appeals to courageous girls with a great sense of style.
You can order veils wholesale from this collection in two popular wedding colors – classic white and delicate ivory. All the veils of our production are equipped with convenient fasteners for hairpins and hairpins that will be useful for hairdressers to provide secure fixation of the veil on any type of bride's hairdress.

Average seasonal changes in chlorophyll a in Icelandic waters

The standard algorithms used to derive sea surface chlorophyll a concentration from remotely sensed ocean colour data are based almost entirely on the measurements of surface water samples collected in open sea (case 1) waters which cover ~60% of the worlds oceans, where strong correlations between reflectance and chlorophyll concentration have been found. However, satellite chlorophyll data for waters outside the defined case 1 areas, but derived using standard calibrations, are frequently used without reference to local in situ measurements and despite well-known factors likely to lead to inaccuracy. In Icelandic waters, multiannual averages of 8-d composites of SeaWiFS chlorophyll concentration accounted for just 20% of the variance in a multiannual dataset of in situ chlorophyll a measurements. Nevertheless, applying penalized regression spline methodology to model the spatial and temporal patterns of in situ measurements, using satellite chlorophyll as one of the predictor variables, improved the correlation considerably. Day number, representing seasonal variation, accounted for substantial deviation between SeaWiFS and in situ estimates of surface chlorophyll. The final model, using bottom depth and bearing to the sampling location as well as the two variables mentioned above, explained 49% of the variance in the fitting dataset.

Undiagnosed HIV cases climb in Europe
United News of Bangladesh/ Xinhua . Copenhagen | Published: 00:19, Nov 29,2020
A significant East-West divide and people over 50 years old are revealed as contributory factors as undiagnosed cases of HIV climb throughout the European region as a whole, according to a report published Thursday by the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control and the World Health Organisation Regional Office for Europe.
'More than 136,000 people were newly diagnosed with HIV in 2019,' said a joint press release of the WHO Europe and ECDC.
However, it is the statistical revelation that every second HIV diagnosis (53 per cent) is being made during the latter stage of the infection when the immune system is already beginning to fail which draws most concern from the report's compilers.
Significantly, the report reveals that new diagnoses across the more prosperous European Union and European Economic Area countries also declined by 9 per cent during the same period.
'Despite the focus on COVID-19 right now, we must not lose sight of other public health issues like HIV. Earlier diagnosis of HIV is an urgent priority,' said ECDC director Andrea Ammon.
The report maintains that the importance of early diagnosis is that it allows people to start HIV treatment sooner, which increases their chances of survival and prevents the possibility of further transmission.
A surprising take away from the HIV/AIDS surveillance data for 2019 revealed that those who diagnosed with HIV late increases at a higher proportion with age.
Across the whole 53-member Region, 67 per cent of people aged 50 and older were diagnosed late in the course of their HIV infection, one in five of new HIV diagnoses.
'The reasons for this are not yet fully understood. It may be that older adults themselves, or the health-care workers looking after them, underestimate the risk of infection,' said the report.
The new report was released on the eve of World AIDS Day observed annually on Dec 1. World AIDS Day was introduced by WHO in 1988 to raise awareness of the AIDS epidemic caused by HIV infection.

Romantic Elements
Barefoot William Beach
This fun and sensual contemporary romance has a great cast of characters, both four-footed and not, and evokes the wonderful sense of a tourist-friendly beach town and the laid-back atmosphere of the boardwalk in this Florida location. The hilarious misadventures of dealing with a canine who can be both a ringleader and an instigator enhances the relationship that forms between the two humans in his life, even though they are initially determined to stay on a professional footing. This book can be read as a stand alone although I suspect that the various family members who make cameo appearances in this story each have had their time in the spotlight. There are plenty of hunky males (with varying degrees of common sense or bravado) who each deserve their time in the spotlight, so I think that there will be plenty of sequels to come. It took me a little while to get used to the staccato sentences and occasionally I was a little irked by the shifting points of view, but the story was entertaining and I think it would be a great beach read. There is excellent evocation of the camaraderie among teammates and the excitement and fun of life in a small town that hosts a minor league and I definitely want to read more about these charismatic folks!
"No One Like You" by Kate Angell is part of the 'Barefoot William Beach' and connected to the 'Richmond Rogues' stories. Centering around Elizabeth (Beth) Avery as she tries out for a job as temporary assistant to baseball star and Rogues' team captain Rylan (Ry) Cates, and discovers the challenges of dealing with a quartet of canines who are just as personable and quirky as their owner. Ry is in Barefoot William for spring training, but his family is intricately woven into the fabric of the society of this gulf coast town. Beth must learn how to handle opinionated Great Dane, Atlas, as well as juggle the myriad of commitments that Ry needs handled, but the more efficient she becomes, the harder it is going to be for them to stick to the terms of their agreement, which could be a good thing—or not.
Book Blurb for No One Like You
No One Expects a Curveball
For Rylan Cates, the gloriously sunny beachside town of Barefoot William may be home, but the pro baseball player needs to focus on spring training. Hiring a personal assistant to keep him and his four dogs organized for the next eight weeks is the first step--and Beth Avery is the perfect pinch hitter.
Beth is still looking for her place in the world, and a couple months caring for Rylan's two dachshunds, his golden retriever, and a Great Dane named Atlas should shore up her finances before she moves on. Except it's Atlas who won't budge, pushing her toward tanned, scruffy, sexy Rylan every chance he gets. One more strike and she's calling the dog out--unless she and Rylan admit that the attraction they're feeling is a game-winning grand slam. . .

Split review: Tension and harmony apposed in masterful double act
By Jordan Beth Vincent
Updated March 21, 2017 — 12.52pm first published at 11.40am
SPLIT ★★★★½
Lucy Guerin Inc.
Arts House, North Melbourne
Until March 26
A work like choreographer Lucy Guerin's Split is open enough to be read in many ways.
Melanie Lane (front) and Lilian Steiner (background). Credit:Gregory Lorenzutti
There are the structures, laid out clearly and simply: comprised of four chapters, each takes half the length of time as the previous one.
There are, at the end, four sections of stage space marked out by the dancers with white tape. The act of laying the tape indicates the close of one chapter and the opening of the next, but it also serves to create a new space that is half the size of the one before it.
Harmonious movements descend into power struggles. Credit:Gregory Lorenzutti
As the landscape shrinks, the tension grows. Teeming with rage and passion, movement and complex relationships, this structure only highlights the messiness and uncomfortableness inherent in the work.
In the end, there is barely enough room for the dancers to stand together without crossing the lines.
For much of the work, dancers Melanie Lane and Lilian Steiner perform in unison. The movement is wide-ranging and often surprising, shifting from tiny and detailed gestures to full sweeps of the body.
Repetition is used to demonstrate the accumulation of ideas, and there is a sense in that the movement has been rigorously exploited for possibilities – both to heighten the tension in the work and to disarm it.
At some moments, Lane and Steiner seem to be two halves of the same person; at other times, notions of power struggle and aggression are borne out in full-body grapplings – such as when Lane attempts to twist Steiner's arm off, or Steiner forces Lane into submission on the floor.
This is not necessarily an easy relationship, but rather one that is complex and nuanced – and made perhaps more striking by the decision to present only one half of the cast clothed.
The female, nude body is not presented sentimentally or even necessarily sexualised, but rather as a choice that elevates the notion of power and negotiation, and what it means to be truly vulnerable.
With simple but effective lighting by Paul Lim and a soundscore by British composer Scanner that builds a steady but unobtrusive rhythm, Split is masterfully performed.

PRAGUE, Czech Republic – In the restaurant business, some places have a head start thanks to the tools they have at their disposal. A great location is a tool worth having. A terrace is certainly a positive. Offering a panoramic view also is certainly part of the list. A famous chef never hurts. An inviting décor or a good press kit also helps. A well-defined theme and signature dishes … You see where I'm going.
In Prague, two restaurants in particular have the luxury to offer, in addition to a great meal, a stunning panoramic view. These are the restaurants and Coda and Terasa U Zlate studně.
The first, Coda, is a chic, modern restaurant in a beautiful city hotel, the Aria Hotel.
The second, Terasa U Zlate studně is a rather classic restaurant in one of the oldest hotels in Prague, Golden Well.
In both cases, hotel and dining room are in the Mala Strana neighborhood, on the west bank of the Vltava River. The Prague Castle is on the same bank and both Golden Well and Aria are right in the shadows of the majestic icon of the city.
If Aria Hotel is its restaurant' counterpart, which is to say chic, contemporary, luxurious, the same can be said of Golden Well and its terrace restaurant: authentic, old, multi-centenarian.
In both cases, the panoramic view from the rooftop terrace is remarkable, stunning, spectacular.
The dishes need to be in sync with the diners, and in both cases the chefs seem to know their customers well.
Terasa U Zlate studně serves the classics, the compulsory dishes, the ones that appeal to the masses. The managers of the restaurant are right to do so: their terrace is booked for every meal, noon and night, from spring to fall. (Reservations mandatory!) To prove my point, I'm served, as a first dish, a beef carpaccio with parmesan croquettes and grilled artichoke. The carpaccio has some sort of ketchup/tomato sauce underneath it… It doesn't get any more middle-of-the-road than that.
Since Coda is rather on the forward-thinking side of things, its dishes play with modern cooking techniques. Innovation is sought, but not at any price, because they – the chef and his bosses – have to please a wide array of diners. As a straightforward example, therefore, I'm served a homemade beef ravioli, simple, with a little melted butter and parmesan shavings. The fresh pasta is so delicate!
For the main course, on the one hand – Coda's – a grilled salmon salad; on the other – Terasa's – a seafood dish of shrimp, tuna, cod and risotto nero. The cod and risotto are good. The shrimp and tuna, less so.
At Terasa U Zlate studně, classics we love, and desserts reflect this trend: a trio of sorbets and a slice of apple pie. The sorbets are exceptionally tasty. Superb.
Coda entices thanks to a nice presentation on slate. An apple-pecan pie, a cream quenelle and a ramequin of pecan ice cream.
In both cases, the panoramic view is the main attraction. In both cases, the decor stands out.
Terasa U Zlate studně is a classic, right on the tourist path, and for good reason: a history that dates back to the 1500s simply has no price! However I preferred Coda because of the service, which surpassed Terasa's. Also, if you forgot to get a reservation, you have more chances of finding a table at Coda, since Terasa U Zlate studně is so popular. In both cases, it is a magically romantic experience. There is nothing like dinner and a panoramic view of one of the most beautiful cities in the world, Prague!

Paul and Fiona requested an elegant driveway and entrance of their Brighton home.
Contrasting to the shining zinc and timber façade, a darker stone was an obvious choice to use for their project. As the space was quite vast we decided to use 400x800mm bluestone pavers which in turn, helped highlight the area. A sleek aluminum edging borders the bluestone paving and ties in the zinc façade to the garden. The edging holds a well positioned Japanese Maple which draws focus to the garden in conjunction with low lying Blue Chalk Sticks and other various succulents. Kangaroo Paws were planted to add colour in the warmer months and existing tussocks were re-planted to help frame the entrance.


At Village Green Retirement Campus, we often hear from families who tell us their only regret is that they didn't encourage their parent to move to assisted living sooner. They can name numerous benefits of making this change, but it often comes down to peace of mind for the family that their loved one is safe and well-cared for. Their only hesitation was in determining if they could afford to make the move.
What is Assisted Living and What Benefits Does It Provide?
Assisted living is a form of care for seniors who can no longer live on their own, but they are still able to do most of their own daily tasks. Perhaps they can't keep up with housework or home maintenance and may even struggle to prepare meals. They often need assistance with daily living tasks but aren't entirely dependent on another person. The benefits of choosing an assisted living center are numerous and vary with each situation.
From the adult child's point of view, they no longer have to worry about their parent getting hurt and being alone or declining health for lack of care. In assisted living, they receive regular attention for their needs by a professional staff. If the adult child lives out of town or has a busy schedule which doesn't allow them to help with their parent's needs, assisted living can solve the problem.
From the resident's point of view, they've given up the responsibilities of meal preparation, home, and yard maintenance and the myriad worries of living alone, to become part of a community focused on their interests and needs. They might receive more socialization than what they experienced at home if they weren't able to get out to see friends like they once did.
Another benefit of assisted living for the senior is the ability to move up in levels of care as needed. Many seniors start out with minimal care requirements when they move into this kind of community. As their mobility and abilities decline, they can transition to more care without waiting to find a place to live that meets their needs. In fact, some assisted living communities also have nursing care for when the person is no longer able to provide for their own basic needs.
Assisted living can look different with each community. Even though they all follow the same basic idea of providing assistance to seniors, the actual services offered may vary by center. Some services are included in a basic package while additional care may be provided at an extra cost. You would want to visit the center and ask questions, so you know what to expect for your parent.
How Do You Know If Assisted Living is the Right Move?
If your loved one is still relatively independent but could use a little assistance, assisted living might be the right choice. If you feel they need more help than what you can provide, you will find this option gives you peace of mind.
On the other hand, if your parent needs a great deal more care or cannot handle most daily tasks, you may be looking at more in-depth care in a nursing center. You can make this decision after talking with your loved one's doctor or medical care provider and getting their advice on the level of care that will provide the best quality of life for your family member.
Many people delay making the move to assisted living because they are concerned about the cost. They are often surprised that the cost of assisted living is generally far less than the cost of in-home care if the resident needs help with several activities of daily living such as meal preparation or personal hygiene.
Often, the senior may start with hiring a person or agency to come in for a few hours a week to assist with household tasks. As their health deteriorates, the need for care will likely increase. Instead of a few hours a week, it may become several hours each day to assist with bathing, cooking meals and dressing. At this point, the hourly cost for an in-home health care worker or agency may exceed the cost of assisted living.
But, how much does assisted living cost, and what will you need in savings to pay for it?
Genworth Financial has compiled a state-by-state list of average elder care costs and information from Washington State is here.
According to the Genworth list, the monthly cost of assisted living in the Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue region ranges from a low of $1,194 per month to a high of $11,279 per month. The average cost is about $5,407 in monthly rent for an annual cost of $64,890.
In looking into the various options, be sure to ask questions about what kind of care is included in the base rental fee. In most facilities, the rental fee covers a single apartment, meals and light housekeeping, but one-to-one care such as help with dressing, bathing, personal hygiene or medications will cost more. If you are trying to figure out how much to budget for assisted living, using the base rental fee might not be the most helpful because many residents will need additional care at an extra cost in the future.
The AARP has created an online calculator to help you estimate and compare the average cost of assisted living care and skilled nursing care in various regions. According to the AARP calculator, the cost of assisted living in the Seattle area for three years is about $175,000, while the cost of a private room in a nursing facility would be $329,750.
It's impossible to know how long your loved one might live in assisted living. According to national surveys, the average length of stay in an assisted living facility is about 22 months, but certainly, some residents thrive in assisted living for many years.
There are several options to help your loved one be able to afford assisted living when the time comes. If your parent is still independent and not ready to make the move to assisted living, you might want to look into long-term care insurance. In the past, these policies didn't pay for assisted living or paid only partially, but newer policies have improved.
Look for a long-term care insurance policy that includes assisted living and read the fine print. Make sure your loved one would be covered if the time comes that they need to seek out new living arrangements.
Long-term care insurance is only an option for those who have a few years to think about the future. However, there are other strategies that can help you if the move is coming in the next few months.
Life insurance – if you have a whole life insurance policy that has matured, you can get the money now while the person is still alive instead of waiting for death benefits. If the policy hasn't matured, you can still find out about cashing it out if the company is willing to buy it back at a percentage of the value.
Veterans' benefits – if your parent has served in the military, they may be eligible for certain benefits that assist in paying for residential care. Aid and Attendance is one benefit that allows veterans or their spouses to receive assistance with assisted living if their income meets requirements.
Reverse mortgage – allows one person to still live in the home while the other person goes to an assisted living center. This is the ideal choice for anyone who plans to sell the home someday in the future.
Sell the home – if your parent owns their home, the proceeds from the sale could help with the expenses of moving into assisted living. They could also rent it if they aren't ready to sell to assist with the monthly fees for assisted living.
Bridge loan – Your loved one may qualify for a bridge loan to help them finance moving until they can liquidate other assets. If they are selling a home or waiting for other funds to become available, this loan could eliminate the need to wait to move.
Annuity – Many seniors invested in annuities because it seemed like a safe way to manage their money. It's also a good option if your parent plans to sell their home or other property. They pay in a lump sum and receive regular payments for a specified time.
When calculating the cost of assisted living, you must compare it to the current expenses of your loved one. They must pay for utilities, food, and upkeep of the home if they can no longer do the work themselves. They may already be paying for help with certain tasks either through an agency or a person who comes to their home on a regular basis.
If you add up these expenses, you may discover that the cost of assisted living is cheaper than being a senior homeowner. When you put everything down on paper or on a spreadsheet, it can often make the move seem more affordable.
You may have noticed changes in your senior parent. Perhaps they are forgetful or have trouble fixing meals or taking care of the housework. Maybe you've been helping them with laundry or basic cleaning. They may struggle to remain as independent as they would like.
Many families wait until a crisis strikes before they make the move. If you notice any of these signs, you may want to think about the need for a change before a serious accident results. By planning ahead, you can help your loved one to get settled into a community while they are able to participate in the decisions and remain as independent as possible.
Now may be the time to look at assisted living. The first step is to talk to your loved one and get their reaction to this idea. You should ask them if they would consider taking a tour of Village Green to see what it's like.
You can schedule an appointment to visit the center where you and your senior loved one can see where they would be living and get your questions answered before you make a decision. A representative will sit down with you and go over costs and care options so you can determine what you can afford and what your parent needs.
You may also want to talk to a financial planner about your parent's current assets and what steps they can take now to finance their future in an assisted living community. Some assets take longer to liquidate, and you want to know what to expect for the future even if they aren't ready to move now.
If you have questions about what you or your loved one can afford, it's best to talk with a financial planner, or with experts at Elderlife Financial Consultants. At Elderlife, consultants have a range of financial tools they can talk with you about, from lines of credit and home equity loans to reverse mortgages. Assisted living might be more affordable than you realize, and it might be the best option to give your parent the quality of life they deserve and the peace of mind you want.

Fellow beekeeper Steven McNair from Illinois in the US visited Olly's Farm recently. Stephen keeps bees and produces beautiful honey in a few bee yards in Illinois. He also runs a charity Salem4Youth where himself and his wife use beekeeping to help young men that are going through a rough time. Its always fascinating to talk and learn how other people do things. As a beekeeper you never ever know everything. Its a craft that takes a lifetime to master, so meeting others is always a pleasure.
Still can't believe my heather honey winning gold at Blás na hEireann 2017.
Back in March I entered two of my honeys into the Blás na hEireann Irish Food Awards. My heather honey off the Dublin Mountains and my Glenasmole Softset from the bees here on the farm.
It wasn't until I was about to give a talk on bees, beekeeping and honey from a smallholders perspective. I was at the smallholders gathering at Taste of Cavan that I received an email. I was literally being given the mic when I got the email telling me that both my honeys had made it through to the final seven. That email was read about 20 times to make sure what I was reading was true.
Here are two jars of my honey in front of Tower Bridge in London.
Where are they going to pop up next?

Welcome to JONN.CO.UK, the UK's best website for all things TV, Gaming and Music.
Major all-star cast announced for new animated film of The Tiger Who Came to Tea
The stellar voice cast has been announced for Channel 4, Lupus Films and HarperCollins' captivating animation The Tiger Who Came to Tea which is set to air this Christmas.
Based on the classic children's book by the much-loved Judith Kerr OBE, who sadly died in May this year, the half-hour film will bring to life the vivid images and irresistible story of this classic picture book turning it into a truly festive family treat.
Benedict Cumberbatch (Brexit: The Uncivil War, Sherlock, Avengers: Infinity Wars), Tamsin Greig (Tamara Drewe, Friday Night Dinner, The Guilty, Episodes) David Oyelowo (Les Miserables, A United Kingdom, Nightingales) David Walliams (Walliams & Friend, Little Britain, Come Fly With Me) and Paul Whitehouse (Mortimer and Whitehouse: Gone Fishing, The Fast Show) will portray the familiar characters of Daddy, Mummy, Tiger, Narrator and Milkman respectively, while seven-year-old newcomer Clara Ross makes her TV debut as Sophie.
Published by HarperCollins Children's Books, and produced by Lupus Films, the makers of the hugely-popular We're Going on a Bear Hunt and The Snowman and The Snowdog, The Tiger Who Came to Tea tells the delightful story of what happens when the doorbell rings just as Sophie and her Mummy are sitting down to tea in the kitchen. Confronted with a very unexpected guest – a big, furry, stripy tiger – they invite him inside where he proceeds to eat everything in sight before making a timely exit, just before Daddy gets home.
The Tiger Who Came to Tea has sold over five million copies since it was first published in 1968. Inspired by Judith Kerr's daughter Tacy, the story of Sophie and her extraordinary, stripy teatime guest has enchanted generations of children and has become a timeless classic. Lupus Films' distinctive, hand-drawn animated style will beautifully bring it to life to charm a whole new audience this Christmas, when Channel 4 will broadcast the one-off half-hour special.
Benedict Cumberbatch, who plays Daddy, said: "I couldn't be more thrilled to be playing a small part in bringing Judith Kerr's timeless children's classic to the screen for another generation to enjoy."
David Oyelowo, who plays the Tiger said: "Who wouldn't jump at the chance to play the iconic tiger from The Tiger Who Came to Tea? He's a big cat of few words because - he's too busy eating! - but I relished all of the growling, chomping and slurping, which called on me to find my inner cat."
David Walliams, who plays the Narrator, said: "I knew Judith well and I really adored her. She was an incredible inspiration - her work is so brilliant. The book is a thing of beauty – there isn't a word out of place, the illustrations are just gorgeous. I really wanted to be a part of it and I was chuffed that she wanted me to narrate. I'm so proud to be associated with it because it's a stone cold classic. Just like the book has been around for over 50 years, hopefully the animation will have this incredible longevity too."
Tamsin Greig, who plays Mummy, said: "The story has a universal appeal. It's about encountering the other and the danger of the unknown adventure. What drew me is that Mummy is not there imposing authority, but she's agreeing to go on the journey with her daughter, and be a child with her."
Paul Whitehouse, who plays Milkman, said: "I wanted to get involved because it has fond memories for me and a close association with my girls. I first read the book to my eldest daughter who is now 26, and I've got quite a young daughter as well that I now read it to. It's one of the not-that-many books where the girl is the central character … I've read it to all my four girls, so it's never been out of my life!"
Clara Ross, who plays Sophie, said: "I do like reading books because they take you to an imaginary world, and this book is really nice. I like all the characters and that an animal can talk because in real life, how can an animal talk? I'm really excited that my voice is going to be animated and I can't wait for it coming out at Christmas on Channel 4."
Caroline Hollick, Channel 4 Head of Drama said: "'We're delighted to have assembled such a fantastic cast to tell this wonderful and much-loved children's classic. It really does promise to be a fabulous festive treat for all the family."
Ruth Fielding, producer for Lupus Films, said: "We are thrilled to have attached such an amazing cast to bring to life the characters in this timeless family favourite. It's a real honour to be working with such a glittering array of talent who are going to help make this animation truly special."
Ann-Janine Murtagh, Executive Publisher HarperCollins Children's Books, said: "We are delighted to be working with such a brilliant cast who will introduce this treasured story to a whole new generation and honour the extraordinary woman who created it."

Rochester musicians are tinkering with trip-hop
Phillip Coleman, a.k.a. GodClouD, at work in his home studio in Rochester.
Phillip Coleman, the Rochester musician and producer known as GodclouD, stands over his digital audio workstation with a posture both casual and purposeful that says I'm working, but it's cool.
An array of buttons and knobs on electronic devices linked to music production software on a computer are at his fingertips. His fingers ripple with the fluidity of a seasoned typist to create a drum solo that might make a prog rock drummer like the late Neil Peart proud.
"People tend to think that it's easy," Coleman says. "People think that it's like I'm pushing a button and it's all done for me already."
But he's not just pressing buttons to trigger a rhythmic loop and leaving it at that. He's playing the drums live, albeit with a very different instrument — an MPD (Music Player Daemon) pad — rather than a conventional drum kit.
His is not necessarily the kind of music that you hear at a dance club. Instead, you might hear it at a bar or at a dinner party as background music. The ideal way to listen is through headphones. It's chill-out music. This is trip-hop.
A genre that emerged in the '90s with the success of bands such as Portishead and Massive Attack, trip-hop is best described as a blend of hip-hop's rhythmic groove and the synthesizer-heavy sounds of electronic music. While trip-hop has some mainstream resonance — as it did on Lana Del Rey's critically acclaimed 2012 album "Born to Die" — it's largely a niche genre.
In Rochester, trip-hop's presence is even less readily apparent. But that doesn't mean musicians like GodclouD aren't tinkering away trying to find a groove to transport listeners.
"I like to put people in a unique spot in their minds," says Coleman, who regularly posts his creations on his YouTube channel. "I try to paint a really abstract, somewhat beguiling picture of sounds and sonics. I want people to feel like they're somewhere else."
While the beats he creates are rooted in hip-hop and dubstep, his music is otherwise borderless, moving freely between dance, funk, pop, rock, and even classical guitar. But if there is an umbrella genre for Coleman's music, trip-hop would be it.
For Chris Dubuq-Penney. an engineer and producer at Wicked Squid Studios, "trip-hop" is synonymous with boundary-pushing hip-hop.
Chris Dubuq-Penney, 27, who has worked with many local hip-hop artists as the producer and engineer specializing in the genre at Wicked Squid Studios, sees trip-hop as a signifier for experimentation.
"If trip-hop is a stand-in term for hip-hop that is pushing the boundaries instrumentally or lyrically or any of that other stuff, I think there's plenty of people doing that in Rochester," he says.
For Dubuq-Penney, no matter what you call it, the key component is that the music borrows from existing recordings or emulates that sort of sampling with live instruments.
Brendon Caroselli.
That emulation is present in the music of Brendon Caroselli, whose debut solo album, "Frequency Generations," has its live-streamed release show on Jan. 9 via Greenstream. The album was mixed by Dubuq-Penney, who also plays guitar in Caroselli's progressive soul band Lost Wax Collective.
Caroselli admits that he leans on elements of trip-hop — the groove-based rhythms and repetitive drums and the use of synthesizers — but says he's more likely to refer to his music simply as "electronic."
"I don't try to make hip-hop music or reggae music or dub music, but I love all of that music, and it has inevitably influenced what I create. There is some accuracy to it," he says of the trip-hop label.
Composer-drummer Brendon Caroselli refers to his trip-hop-infused, groove-oriented music as "electronic."
The 30-year-old Pittsford native, a drummer-by-trade who got his master's degree in classical percussion at Nazareth College and now teaches there, uses an acoustic drum kit, which he plays as if he were creating a drum loop.
"When I compose, I usually come up with short phrases and milk it as long as I can, and building atmospheres on that short repeated phrase," he says. For his melodies, Caroselli often uses synthesizers to conjure the right sound.
And while Caroselli cites drummer Mark Giuliana and his beat-heavy, trip-hop-leaning band Beat Music as his single biggest influence, the celebrated jazz pianist Ahmad Jamal has had no less an impact on how Caroselli approaches his own music.
"He has this respect for space within his music that's hard to find," he says of Jamal. "It's very unique, and he has a way of having an ear for what the whole thing sounds like. Even when it's his solo, he's still considering what is occurring in the whole band."
"I try to bring that kind of tastefulness, or that consideration, to what I do," Caroselli says.

The Victor EDGE ESS42 enables users to instantly differentiate between the high and low pressure gauges, as well as read pressure settings.
Victor, an ESAB brand, offers the EDGE ESS42, the second generation of its heavy-duty, high-capacity single-stage cylinder regulators. The EDGE ESS42 features a new modular gauge design with an extra large 2-1/2" delivery gauge and an offset, smaller gauge for cylinder pressure. High-contrast, color-coded gauge faces enable users to more easily see and set cylinder pressure.
"ESAB's Voice of Customer feedback program indicated that customers want a bigger gauge that is easier to see and a smaller gauge that is highly protected. Essentially, they wanted a bigger smaller gauge," said John Henderson, Director Product Development, Global Gas Equipment, ESAB. "The EDGE ESS42 accomplishes these seemingly contradictory goals. Users can instantly differentiate between the high and low pressure gauges and, from a distance, determine if they have sufficient gas in the cylinder and have set delivery pressure in the appropriate range."
The EDGE ESS42 offers safety features such as SLAM (Shock Limitation and Absorption Mechanism) technology built into the adjusting knob, permitting the knob to absorb the impact in the event of a cylinder fall. As with the previous version, the compact EDGE ESS42 design positions the gauges and other critical elements of the regulator so that they stay within the profile of many cylinders, enabling the cylinder to help shield the components from impact.
The regulator, designed to pass ASTM G-175 promoted ignition test, also features a high-strength alloy gauge guard and has a high resistance to oxygen related fires. Victor will introduce EDGE ESS42 models for all popular gases in 2017, including oxygen, argon, air, acetylene, LP, carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide.


Your guide will pick you up early in the morning. He will also provide briefing on your upcoming safari and afterwards, we make our way to Queen Elizabeth National Park passing through Masaka and Mbarara, which are metropolitan hubs in the western region of Uganda.
Along the way, you can chance upon Ankole Longhorn, a land race breed of cattle distinguished by its horns that can reach up to 8ft from tip to tip. There will be a stopover in Mbarara for a sumptuous lunch and a glass of refreshing Nile beer to cool off the heat.
