Ayurvedic (Indian herbal medicine) treatments adhere to just this philosophy. Those seeking something a little less mundane than a spa hotel should consider a visit to Ulpotha, a village retreat in the middle of Sri Lanka.Ostensibly a “farming village” surrounded by forest and situated around a lake, Ulpotha opens for a limited number of visitors for a few weeks per year. It offers Ayurvedic oil treatments and massages along with native herbal steam baths and yoga. Accommodation is in asanas (open “huts” with pitched, palm-thatched roofs) and food is organic, grown within the village and cooked to local vegetarian recipes.The next open weeks are 10-24 June and the cost is £950 for two weeks, including full-board twin-share accommodation, all treatments, courses and transfers Flights to Colombo are extra reckon on £500 return.

Heal thyself!Yoga, acupuncture and Ayurvedic spa treatments, activities and practices that were once considered “out there” are fast being gobbled up by the mainstream holiday market.
Unlike as little as a decade ago, the word “alternative” is no longer really applicable; “heal thyself” is increasingly becoming the holidaymaker’s tenet. It would seem that we all have well-adjusted chi, eat macrobiotic and meditate as a matter of course, but do we really know how to get the best out of a therapeutic break?But I’m perfectly healthy! Ah yes, but are you? And even if the answer is “yes”, as soon as you start thinking about a holiday, your stress levels are bound to grind up a gear or two. Planning a holiday can be one of life’s most stressful endeavours, especially for families. Perversely, it seems the less time you have to squeeze in a holiday, the more you need it. And if, three days into your hard-earned beach break, you find that you are still twitching and thinking about your in-tray, then perhaps a healing holiday is for you.Active relaxing, structured de-stressing or just plain old self-indulgence healing holidays cover everything from learning about alternative medicine in China to something as simple as taking a holiday from hotels by staying somewhere novel, say a tipi in Cornwall or a nomad’s tent in Turkey.Isn’t this all a little worthy? Doesn’t have to be. Those scared off by the thought of embarking on a pseudo-religious “learning experience” should consider something utterly indulgent instead.
Villa Tranquilla, in southern Spain, is a new property to come under the wing of the Ashburton Centre (01364 652784; www.ashburtoncentre.co.uk).

Yoga, art and music courses are available at no extra cost during these one-week courses. Accommodation is in one of the cortijo’s three luxury villas, and the cost, per person, is £485 based on two sharing a twin room including full board and all courses. Flights to Malaga and transfers (which the centre can arrange for £10 each way) are extra; reckon on £200 return for a no-frills or charter flight in July or August.Where’s the most popular place to get yourself together again?A pilgrimage is the original “healing” holiday for both the body and soul.

Most mobile prices in the UK compare favourably with other European countries. And the average cost has declined by 24 per cent since January 1999.If we are a bit complacent, having to price everything in euros would shock us. Compared with France, Brits pay more for transport, property, restaurant meals; likewise the French would see that we pay less for pharmaceutical products, household equipment, clothes. This is why monetary union would eventually be deflationary as consumers came to question differences between members states.
But I am not convinced that this has yet happened on the Continent, even though every invoice shows the amount payable in euros as well as in the local currency. You need euro coins jangling in your pockets before you take notice.It may be, too, that we are not really complainers by nature, though we do more of it than we used to do. Thomas Kielinger, the London correspondent of the German daily, Die Welt, writing in this newspaper last week, gave a list of recent calamities – the state of the NHS and the railways, the London Underground strike, and said that in Germany such imperfections of public services would cause an open revolt. But instead we call upon our “huge reservoirs of forebearance” and an almost Russian capacity for suffering, and stay calm, passive even.Manufacturers and providers of services are also becoming more adept in disguising the true cost. This is done by publishing a bewildering range of prices, discounts, special offers.
As the Consumers’ Association noted with regard to car manufacturers, they brag about price cuts which are really marketing gimmicks; they give reductions with one hand, but take them back with the other by means of specification downgrades; they refuse to cut list prices but offer cash incentives. Likewise Oftel’s research showed that many consumers find information on mobile telephony products confusing.Such practices have been beyond the power of regulators or competition watchdogs until recently. It isn’t market rigging; it isn’t price fixing; it isn’t collusion between competitors; it isn’t monopolistic behaviour. It is the deliberate creation of confusion.There is, however, a solution. It has been found by the regulator of financial services, the Financial Services Authority Markets in financial products have long been opaque.
Rarely is a price as commonly understood actually quoted at all. There are, too, special charges which the consumer bears – the commission earned by sales intermediaries. As a result, it is almost impossible to determine what is the real cost of, say, a personal pension plan.The answer? The FSA is experimenting with establishing what it calls a comparative information scheme. As well as collecting and publishing prices charged by competing providers of a particular product range – where they could be established – such features as financial strength, risk and return, minimum payments, customer service and clarity of literature would be assessed and made widely available to consumers.

Jamaica`s Oldest Rum Distillery Seeks To Elevate Rum To Premium Status In TheEyes Of Consumers”Sip Up” Campaign Targeted At Scotch, Whiskey And Other Classic Premium DarkSpiritsNEW YORK–(Business Wire)–First it was vodka, then tequila. Now, rum is looking to be recognized as thenext great tasting premium spirit.
Appleton Estate, Jamaica’s oldest rum distillery, is set to break a new printcampaign aimed at attracting premium scotch and whiskey drinkers, while alsomaking it clear that Coke, pineapples, and other elements are not necessarilypart of its ascent to the top shelf. “We`ve seen a heightened consumer demand for a more flavorful and complex tasteexperience, which plays perfectly to our Appleton Estate distilled rums,” saidJohn Pennacchio, director of spirits at Kobrand Corporation. “We feel thiscampaign serves notice to scotch, whiskey and other drinkers that rum – andAppleton Estate Rum in particular – is as sophisticated as those classicentities, and offers a depth of flavor that should be savored and appreciated.Appleton Estate Reserve is a luxury offering that is on par with such classicpremium dark spirits as single malts and small batch bourbons.” Carrying the tagline “Sip Up,” the print campaign looks to establish AppletonEstate as the standard of the premium rum category. The campaign, created by theNew York advertising agency DeVito/Verdi, breaks in the June issue of suchmagazines as Men’s Journal, GQ, Esquire, Out, Fast Company, Black Enterprise,Robb Report and Wired. One ad asks: “Looking for a good scotch? May we suggest a rum.” Anotherdeclares: “It spent 12 years in a barrel. The last thing it wants to see is theinside of a blender.” And yet another states: “The aroma of butterscotch, orangepeel and vanilla should enter your nose. Not a cocktail umbrella.” “Now is the time for rum to be perceived by consumers to be a sophisticatedadult beverage choice,” said Ellis Verdi, president of DeVito/Verdi.
“It`s abouttime that a brand looked to shed the drink`s clichéd image of frozen drinks andCaribbean-night-themed parties. This campaign makes it clear what our goal isand who we`re going after.” A number of other print ads in the campaign feature an unexpected visual and theline “The rum that needs nothing” to convey the message that this rum has thecredentials to be enjoyed without fruit wedges and mini umbrellas, or pouredinto blenders. “We realize that many people will continue to enjoy rum as they always have, sowe`re only too happy to oblige them with a premium product that will certainlyimprove the classic rum concoctions they favor,” said Pennacchio. In addition to magazine print ads, the campaign will also include uniqueout-of-home ads, internet advertising and interactive digital elements that helpreinforce the essence of the brand Television commercials are being consideredfor 2010.

There were three sixes, a dozen fours and a plethora of stunning shots scattered like gems among the 109 balls he faced as he helped Somerset pile up the biggest total against Yorkshire since Kent amassed 580 three years ago. At the other end Michael Burns picked up where he had left off on the opening day. He barely broke sweat as he added a further 59 to his overnight 162 to reach his maiden double hundred and reach the highest individual score against Yorkshire since Alec Stewart’s unbeaten 271 four seasons ago. It was also the highest individual Somerset innings against Yorkshire, surpassing Viv Richards’ 217 at Harrogate in 1975.By the end of his landmark innings the admirable Burns had been on duty for the best part of eight hours. When he finally gloved an attempted sweep off James Middlebrook to be caught behind he had hit a six and 28 fours and had shared in his third three-figure stand, this time 132 with Lathwell.There was more of the same after lunch, runs galore, little hope for the hapless bowlers who flogged away all the same. The only difference was that this time it was Yorkshire who were in the driving (and the cutting and pulling) seat.Yorkshire’s own Matthew Wood and his opening partner, Scott Richardson, made untroubled progress to the fourth hundred stand of the game to date.
Both batsmen were on 56 when rain brought a premature end to proceedings, with a third of the day’s allocation of 104 overs left unbowled.. The first 10 overs of the day before rain interrupted things, provided a wonderful example of the best that cricket can offer. The first 10 overs of the day, before rain interrupted things, provided a wonderful example of the best that cricket can offer.
There were three wickets, a flurry of handsome strokes, hostile fast bowling, excellent catching and outstanding ground fielding.In the first over Andy Caddick dropped short and Matthew Hayden’s hook sent a steepling catch to fine leg. It took Darren Gough a moment to sight the ball, then he adjusted quickly before showing what a safe pair of hands he has.Gough bowled the second over and the first ball, to Ricky Ponting, was on his pads and with excellent timing he eased it through mid-wicket for four. When Caddick again dropped short in his third over, Ponting hooked him square, rolling his wrists to keep the ball on the ground. Caddick over-compensated and the next ball produced a flowing on drive which brought Ponting four more runs.The score had reached 23 when Gough gave Adam Gilchrist the width and shortness to cut and Hollioake held a good one up by his face at backward point.
Caddick pitched the ball on Ponting’s pads and again mid-on had to trot back to the midwicket boundary to retrieve the ball.In the same over, Ponting, on the back foot, nibbled outside the off stump as he tried to run the ball to third man. It flicked the edge of his bat and at second slip Nick Knight went low to his left in front of Marcus Trescothick at first and came up with a beauty.Ponting has made a magnificent start in this one-day series and it would not be a surprise if long before the end of the summer his is the wicket the England bowlers will want most of all. He cannot help but provide some grand entertainment in his wristy, quick-footed way.If the rain had set in at this point and there had been no more play, I think we would still all have gone home with smiles on our faces.. Steve Waugh’s bat may lack a sponsor at present, but that has not prevented him wielding it with his customary brilliance against England. As a statement of intent it was as chilling as the Manchester air. England’s one-day defeats may have dipped further to nine in a row, but the manner in which Jason Gillespie and Glenn McGrath demolished England’s top five batsmen for just 40 runs will have caused real fears for the Ashes series next month. Chasing 212 from 44 overs, after rain had caused Australia’s total of 208 for 7 off 48 overs to be amended by the Duckworth-Lewis method, England were hit by a wrecking ball of enormous power, losing a low-scoring match by 125 runs after being bowled out for 86.It was the lowest one-day score in their history, worse than the 93 against Australia at Headingley in 1975.

At Oxford she had a complex and didn’t perform as well as she should have done.”He had concerns about his sons throughout their early schooling but as council leader felt he could do little about it.Now black constituents were moving out of Tottenham or sending their children to the Caribbean to be educated: “When they get to the Caribbean they are put in classes two years younger than them.”With hindsight, would he have opted for private education, politics and money permitting? “Absolutely.” He adds: “I hope some good comes out of all of this.”. The 20-year-old was on a design course but is currently unemployed.He said his sons were “very, very seriously hampered” by the quality of their schooling and blamed not only a question of resources through cuts in Haringey’s standard spending assessment, but also attitudes and standards.”The staff believe the kids won’t make it. He was appalled at the standard of comprehensive education in his area, he told MPs at yesterday’s Parliamentary Labour Party meeting.In an interview with the Independent afterwards, he frankly admitted that with hindsight he regretted not considering the private sector for his children, but his former position as leader of Haringey council in north London had made that unthinkable.For the father of three sons, one now 20 and twins of 18, the sense of disappointment is palpable from a man once regarded as a high priest of political correctness.He declined to name the Haringey school that is still attended by one of the twins, who is studying for A-levels with the help of pounds 20-an-hour private tuition to “get him up to scratch”.The other twin is training as a chef. He holds the rank of major in the Reserve Army and has a son, daughter and three grandchildren from his marriage to Marja-Liisa in 1960..

“The comprehensive schools in inner-city areas of London are very bad indeed, and are failing our children.” Thus said Bernie Grant, the left- wing Labour MP for Tottenham, north London, speaking from bitter experience.It must have been beyond Tony Blair’s wildest expectations that the one- time black radical would give such overwhelming backing to the choice made by Harriet Harman.The 51-year-old MP could not have been more uncompromising. He became an MP in 1970, serving as a member of the foreign affairs committee and chairing the parliamentary supervisors of the Bank of Finland. In the two years that preceded his move into politics in the mid-1960s he was a member of the Finnish delegation at the UN, a year after graduating from Helsinki University in 1962. He rose to prominence in politics as secretary general of the National Coalition Party in 1965, becoming chairman in 1971 until 1979. It is not so long ago that a poster campaign to sell a snooker tournament needed only two words: Hurricane Warning. Yesterday Alex Higgins went unbilled and barely applauded as he tried to breath life into a career that is not so much unconscious as resembling a corpse. A strong wind was still pulling in the punters from the prom on Blackpool’s North Shore but it was not the Hurricane that tempted them from the cold, rather Gail from Coronation Street and the theme attraction based on the television series.
Higgins’ struggles went almost unnoticed.
True, the most famous snooker player of them all had a capacity audience as he began what he hoped would be a long haul towards an appearance in the Embassy World Championships. Clarke himself was unaware of how his injury had occurred and the French federation is considering the matter only at the instigation of the Rugby Football Union.Dourthe is now likely to miss France’s matches in Scotland on Saturday week and against Ireland in Paris a fortnight later. “I may play some junior rugby next season but at the moment I’m just enjoying my first real break from the game,” he said.Swansea’s success, page 22. “I condemn brutality and Dourthe will be sanctioned,” Jean-Claude Skrela, the French coach, said yesterday.n Brian Moore, the former England hooker, has retired from first-class rugby. Moore stepped down from internationals earlier this season but had been expected to carry on playing for his club, Harlequins. Yesterday he owned up to stamping on Ben Clarke’s head during last Saturday’s France- England match and thereby condemned himself to a Test ban of probably two matches.”I have no excuses,” he said “I was stupid, really stupid. The English were pressing really hard and I had a lot of adrenalin going.
The ball wasn’t released when he went to ground in a ruck and I just gave him a poke. I know I should not have done it and I am going to have to pay for it. I hope it teaches me to control myself.”The England No 8 was off the field for nine minutes while having stitches inserted after the incident, which may not have been picked up but for the vigilance of BBC’s Rugby Special.

If we are to build the best stadium you simply can’t keep those towers.DAVID MELLORTask Force headWembley is an international brand and it seems silly to throw away a trademark like the Twin Towers unless it’s absolutely necessary. Also they aren’t that good in an architectural sense, and I believe once a spanking new stadium is there the memory of those towers will be less insistent. Getting to Wembley is what everyone dreams about.JONATHAN DAVIESFormer rugby internationalThe twin towers have a great effect on you as you are travelling towards the ground and when you finally get near them you just think: “Oh God, I’m actually going to be playing at Wembley.” It’s an amazing feeling to play there, but the nearer you get, the less that becomes important and the playing surface is the main thing I remember. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience of scoring a nice try there.
It might not have the towers in the future, but Wembley is Wembley and the history of what’s gone on there can never be taken away.DAVID ROCKRoyal Institute of ArchitectsI was part of the jury that chose the architects and, as far as I’m concerned, it’s a non-issue. Firstly, if the stadium is going to be up-to-date, the pitch is wrongly orientated by quite a few degrees, which means you can’t have the Twin Towers – if you did one would be away from the stadium and one would be in the stands. They are symbolic of Wembley, they must have them as some part of the new stadium. Even contemplating rebuilding without them would be disastrous because when you come down in the coach that is what you are looking for. You’re not worried about the pitch, as soon as you see the towers you all think, ‘We’re nearly there now lads let’s get out there today and get it right’. Having said that, progress has got to be made and if the new development is a better stadium with superior sports facilities, I’m afraid you have to move with the times.EMLYN HUGHESFormer England captainI think it’s ridiculous what they are thinking This is what Wembley is about, the Twin Towers.
There are buildings in London that are important to keep because they quite simply define the place, in the same way that red buses and black cabs do, and the towers undoubtedly fall into that category.BILLY PERRYBlackpool 1953 Cup winnerThe towers are certainly a symbol of Wembley, part of football’s rich heritage, and nobody really wants to see them go. In fact, a lot of people would imagine they could knock everything else down, leave the towers and build around them. They are a part of the whole Wembley experience and if they do go the new stadium really could be built anywhere. And still nobody has achieved what he and Ramsey did together.. KEN LIVINGSTONE
MP for Brent
I can’t understand why they can’t move the towers to a similar position in the new stadium I would certainly like to see them preserved. I’m not aware of just how much it would cost, but they must be able to find somewhere, possibly around the main entrance to the new stadium It’s just a question of thinking of the best solution. Three weeks later, Ramsey was sacked, a decision whose logic has failed to become sounder in the years since An era was ended.
There followed the interregnum in which Joe Mercer was at the helm and the eventually calamitous stewardship of Don Revie. But for Moore it was all over as England’s standard-bearer a quarter of a century ago this weekend. England sparked occasionally and came away with a 0-0 draw.It was not enough The manadarins at the FA were restless and ruthless. After the encounter with Italy at Wembley, England did not have another match for five months.This was against Portugal in Lisbon when FA Cup ties and late withdrawals weakened the team. Ramsey awarded first caps to five players, including Moore’s West Ham colleague, Trevor Brooking. They won the first of those matches and lost the second.Moore then missed the next two matches The first was a routine 7-0 win against Austria. The second was the final World Cup qualifying match against Poland The 1-1 draw famously denied England a place in the finals.
But Ramsey was still not done with his captain, the one player who had been with him throughout his tenure as England manager.Another World Cup was surely beyond Moore’s 32-year-old legs but maybe Ramsey wanted him for the impending European Championship campaign In the event, neither made it that far. Moore duly won his 106th cap, equalling Bobby Charlton’s record, in a friendly against the USSR in Moscow four days later, and his 107th in another friendly four days after that against Italy in Turin. But the proceedings went awry early and Moore was at the fulcrum. In the ninth minute his outstretched foot diverted a shot from Wlodek Lubanski towards the goal Worse followed. Early in the second half Moore utterly misjudged a tackle on Lubanski, who left him floundering, sped clear and increased the lead.Still, Moore and the England manager, Alf Ramsey, had been together too long for these rare mistakes to fracture their liaison The mutual respect between them was binding.

The Soviet-led invasion on 21 August put an end to the Czechoslovak experiment with humane socialism.Mlynar was with the rest of the Czechoslovak leadership that was kidnapped by the invaders and whose members were forced to negotiate under duress in Moscow to give their qualified blessing to the Soviet military presence in the country. Dubcek had become the CPCz’s leader in January 1968, and within weeks Czechoslovakia was embarking on a new path which brought the end of censorship, the re- emergence of non-Communist organisations and the promise of far-reaching market-oriented economic reforms. The economic downturn in the early 1960s and the failure of Antonin Novotny, the long-standing CPCz leader, to follow the de-Stalinisation programmes of some of his Communist neighbours, had fuelled widespread discontent which, in turn, prompted growing demands for change within and outside the party.It was in these conditions that in 1967 Mlynar became head of an inter- disciplinary research team whose task was to work on the development of democracy in the Communist system. In the mid-1960s, as the long winter of Communist orthodoxy was beginning to be assailed by the first harbingers of the Prague Spring, Mlynar became a senior official in the CPCz’s legal affairs department. Between 1951 and 1955 he studied at the law faculty of Moscow’s Lomonosov University where he and Gorbachev became, in Mlynar’s words, “a pair of close friends”.A year after his return to Prague, Mlynar joined the Institute for State and Law of the Academy of Sciences. Their fate – and that of the Prague Spring – was sealed by the fact that the Czechoslovak reforms were being shaped at a time when the Soviet empire was reaching its most expansionist phase; and that the Kremlin’s incumbent at the time was not Mikhail Gorbachev but Leonid Brezhnev who had zero tolerance towards more liberal forms of Communism.
Born in Vysoke Myto, in eastern Bohemia, in 1930, Mlynar joined the CPCz at the age of 16 and worked for the party’s youth wing after secondary school.
As the top intellectual in the CPCz leadership, Mlynar was in many ways the brains behind the charismatic Dubcek. Mlynar was a close associate of Alexander Dubcek, the leader of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia (CPCz), whose short-lived experiment to launch “socialism with a human face” was brought to an abrupt end by the Soviet- led military invasion in August 1968. Nearly 20 years before Mikhail Gorbachev embarked on his ambitious and ultimately unsuccessful attempt to reform the Soviet system, Zdenek Mlynar, one of his friends from his student days in Moscow, had tried to introduce similar policies when he was a member of the Czechoslovak Communist leadership that presided over the Prague Spring of 1968. Nicholas reported: “It is to be hoped that the new newspaper, the Sun, will make some contribution to the wider interest of the trade union and Labour movement.”Jack JonesHerbert Richard Nicholas, trade unionist: born Bristol 13 March 1905; Clerk, Port of Bristol Authority 1919-36; District Officer, Gloucester, Transport and General Workers Union 1936-38, Regional Officer, Bristol 1938-40, National Officer, London 1940-56, Assistant General Secretary 1956-68, Acting General Secretary 1964-66; OBE 1949; Member, National Executive Committee, Labour Party 1956-64, 1967-68, Treasurer 1960-64, General Secretary 1968-72; Member, TUC General Council 1964-67; Kt 1970; married 1932 Rosina Brown (deceased); died 15 April 1997.. The TGWU had distributed 200,000 leaflets and used publicity in its journal to try to increase the circulation of the Herald to prevent its demise, but without success. In trade union circles generally, he was renowned for smart debonair appearance, invariably wearing an Anthony Eden hat and nice clothes.
One newspaper reporter during the automation strike in the West Midlands during the 1950s mistook him for a Scotland Yard detective.As union policies changed in the latter years of his service Nicholas moved slightly to the left. On one occasion, in response to press criticism about his change of approach on TUC policy, he said he was merely carrying out decisions made by the 39 lay member- executive of the union, with which he now agreed.Towards the end of Nicholas’s period as acting General Secretary of the TGWU a decision was made by the TUC to sell the full rights of the old Daily Herald to the Mirror Group. His smooth, polished nature helped to avoid too much trouble but he did not fit in easily to the rough and tough problems of the shop floor. He found it difficult nevertheless to apply Deakin’s authoritarian stance in dealing with members in dispute and the shop stewards in the various industries. But there was no doubting his conformity with Deakin’s ultra-right wing approach, especially so within the confederation of ship- building and engineering unions. From 1936 until his move to the secretaryship of the Labour Party he was employed in the full-time service of the TGWU and operated as a national officer from 1940 onwards in the road haulage, chemicals and engineering industries. But other factors beyond his control were the main cause, not least Ted Heath’s successful line of bringing prices down “at a stroke” and Harold Wilson’s lacklustre performance, plus the over-tight budget of Roy Jenkins.
