This is a natural step for both companies and will consolidate our future position as a global wellbeing leader
– Dr Robert Hanea
Wellbeing developer Therme Group has been given to the go-ahead to build a £250m ($325m, €287m) wellbeing resort in Manchester, UK, aimed at addressing the need for physical and mental wellbeing for all.
Expected to open in 2023, Therme Manchester will cover an area of 28ac (11ha), with a 65,000sq m (700,000sq ft) main building that will house wellbeing facilities, a waterpark and botanical gardens. It will be designed by Therme Arc, the in-house architecture department that has delivered all Therme Group schemes around the world to date.
Stelian Iacob, senior vice president of Therme Group Worldwide and CEO of Therme Group UK, told CLAD: "Therme Group recognizes that to deliver next-generation wellbeing resorts, an interdisciplinary approach to planning and design is vital, embodied by Therme Group's proprietary BIOTRUE system of development.
"The principles of this approach are founded in material and structural biomimicry and bring together specialists from botany, materials science, engineering, philosophy and psychology. Therme Group's unique approach enables it to manage the complex process of designing and delivering iconic projects across the world, which create a perfectly optimised environment of wellbeing for all."
The development, on the site of EventCity in Trafford, will feature a natural environment with thousands of plants and trees that "will be created by world-leading designers, artists, architects and engineers to achieve the highest levels of experience, quality and sustainability."
An 8,100sq m (87,100sq ft), Rose-shaped wellbeing garden will provide a biodiverse year-round space for socialising, learning and discovery, with terraces, pools and water features.
There will be a family-focussed area in a tropical environment with waterslides, a wave pool, indoor and outdoor pools, steam rooms, exotic palm tree relaxation areas and a variety of other activities.
And a dedicated adults' area will provide a space to relax with warm-water lagoons, botanical gardens, swim-up bars, therapeutic mineral baths, steam rooms, saunas and spaces for activities like yoga and pilates.
Additional bars, cafés and restaurants will be located throughout the resort.
Discussing the planning decision, Iacob said: "We are delighted that planning has been approved so we can bring the UK's first Therme Group city wellbeing resort to Manchester. This will transform life for city residents and people further afield, creating a fun and accessible experience with profound health and wellbeing benefits for all."
Therme Group has recently also announced a strategic partnership with thermal leisure operator Wund Holding to accelerate the company's business growth, with a number of other projects in development.
"This is a natural step for both companies and will consolidate our future position as a global wellbeing leader," said CEO, Dr Robert Hanea. "This ongoing partnership will enable us to continue to create the world's most advanced family-friendly wellbeing resorts for customers worldwide."

Justia › US Law › Case Law › New Jersey Case Law › Supreme Court of New Jersey Decisions › 1975 › Catena v. Seidl
Catena v. Seidl
68 N.J. 224 (1975)
343 A.2d 744
GERARDO CATENA, PLAINTIFF-RESPONDENT, v. RICHARD A. SEIDL, SUPERINTENDENT OF YOUTH RECEPTION AND CORRECTION CENTER, YARDVILLE, NEW JERSEY, DEFENDANT-APPELLANT.
The Supreme Court of New Jersey.
Argued March 17, 1975.
*225 Mr. Anthony G. Dickson argued the cause for defendant-appellant.
Mr. Robert L. Weinberg, of the District of Columbia bar, argued the cause for plaintiff-respondent (Mr. S.M. Chris *226 Franzblau, of counsel and on the brief. Messrs. Franzblau, Cohen & Falkin, attorneys).
PER CURIAM.
Gerardo Catena, having been found to be in contempt of the State Commission of Investigation (hereinafter S.C.I.), has been confined continuously since March 4, 1970 except for short periods of temporary release for medical treatment and other personal reasons. His confinement has been based on his refusal to answer questions put to him by the S.C.I. concerning organized crime activities, even though he had been granted testimonial immunity pursuant to N.J.S.A. 52:9M-17. Following his refusal to testify, Catena was cited for contempt by the Superior Court which ordered that he be committed until such time as he purged himself of contempt by testifying. The legality of his confinement was ultimately upheld by the United States Supreme Court in Elias v. Catena, 406 U.S. 952, 92 S. Ct. 2056, 32 L. Ed. 2d 341 (1972).
In the meantime, Catena has remained steadfast in his refusal to testify. The present proceedings seeking to effect Catena's release were begun in December 1973. Inter alia it was alleged that despite the fact that Catena had not purged himself of contempt, his confinement should be terminated because it had failed as a coercive measure. The trial court, after a summary hearing and without receiving any testimony or other evidence except for a letter report as to the state of Catena's health, ordered that Catena be released on the grounds that the order holding him in contempt no longer had any coercive impact and had become punitive in nature.
We reversed the aforesaid ruling of the trial court in Catena v. Seidl, 65 N.J. 257 (1974) holding (1) that the test to be applied was whether or not there was a substantial likelihood that continued commitment of Catena would accomplish the purpose of the order upon which the commitment was based, (2) that the S.C.I. was not required to *227 demonstrate the continued efficacy of such order but that Catena had the burden of showing that the commitment, lawful when ordered, had lost its coercive impact and had become punitive and (3) that on the record then presented Catena had not sustained that burden. However, we remanded the matter to the trial court to allow Catena the opportunity to present evidence in support of additional contentions that questions he declined to answer may have been derived from unlawful electronic surveillance, and that the subpoena to testify issued by the S.C.I. stemmed from illegally obtained information. See Catena, supra, 65 N.J. at p. 265.
When the matter came before the trial court the hearing was expanded to include not only the issue covered by the remand, but also reconsideration of the question whether continued confinement of Catena would serve any coercive purpose. As to this latter question, affidavits were submitted by Catena and three of his attorneys; Catena's wife and one of his daughters also testified. Based on this supplemental proof, as well as Catena's silence since March 1970, his age and condition of health, the trial court again found that Catena's continued confinement had gone beyond the coercive stage and had become punitive and that he should be released.
This Court, in an opinion reported at 66 N.J. 32 (1974), found itself unable to review the correctness of the trial court's ruling because of the inadequacy of the record. We held that use of ex parte proofs in the form of affidavits and a letter report as to the state of Catena's health was improper since it prevented the S.C.I. from testing the veracity and credibility of content. We reiterated that it was Catena who had the burden of proof and that such burden was not sustainable by ex parte affidavits and reports. 66 N.J., supra, at p. 37. Accordingly, we remanded the matter to the trial court to afford Catena the opportunity to present live testimony.
*228 Pursuant to the remand, Catena testified, as well as his physician and three of his attorneys. Following the hearing the trial court in an oral decision reviewed all of the evidence and once more found that there was no substantial likelihood that continued confinement of Catena would ever cause him to break his silence and answer the questions put to him by the S.C.I.
The trial court noted Catena's age (73 years old), state of health and confinement since March 1970. It reviewed the reason given by Catena for remaining silent (essentially Catena testified that he believed he had a right of privacy which could not be taken away from him), and while it did not believe him in that regard, concluded that no matter what Catena's real reason was, he had demonstrated such total obstinacy that the trial court was satisfied that he would never answer any questions.
Actually, whether Catena's refusal to testify is based on moral conviction or principle, or whether, as the S.C.I. contends, he is adhering to organized crime's oath of silence is not controlling.[1] Whatever his reason, good or bad, the question is whether there is a substantial likelihood that continued confinement will cause Catena to change his mind and testify.
The great strength of the rule of law in a democratic society is that it applies equally to all persons, the bad as well as the good. True, Catena has refused to cooperate with the S.C.I. in its investigation into organized crime and the statute permits the imposition of sanctions on him as a coercive measure to force him to testify to whatever knowledge *229 and information he has as to the subject matter of the S.C.I.'s investigation. However, his confinement has been for that purpose and that purpose alone. See In re Zicarelli, Occhipinti, Russo, 55 N.J. 249, 271-272 (1970). It cannot be used to punish him for remaining silent or for any other shortcoming of which he has not been convicted. As we noted in one of our previous opinions in this matter, "[o]nce it appears that the commitment has lost its coercive power, the legal justification for it ends and further confinement cannot be tolerated." 65 N.J. at p. 262.
We have made our own evaluation of the evidence. R. 2:10-4. Catena is now 73 years of age and in the twilight of his life. He has been confined for more than five years in an effort to get him to testify. His condition of health has been deteriorating and his physician has advised him that it is dangerous to his heart condition to remain confined. Despite all this, he has refused to break his silence and has continued to insist that "they'd have to carry me out of there feet first." The trial judge who had the opportunity to see and hear Catena was satisfied that he would never answer any questions for the Commission.
Based on the foregoing, it now appears that there is no substantial likelihood that further confinement will accomplish the purpose of the order upon which Catena's commitment was based. However, we want to make it perfectly clear that in similar circumstances a person's insistence that he will never talk, or confinement for a particular length of time does not automatically satisfy the requirement of showing "no substantial likelihood." Each case must be decided on an independent evaluation of all of the particular facts. Age, state of health and length of confinement are all factors to be weighed, but the critical question is whether or not further confinement will serve any coercive purpose.
We are not condoning Catena's defiance of the S.C.I. investigation, nor are we subscribing to his reasons for remaining silent, whatever they may be. We hold only that it *230 now appears that there is no substantial likelihood that further confinement will serve any coercive purpose and cause him to testify. Since no legal basis for the continued confinement of Catena exists, such confinement must be terminated. The matter is remanded to the trial court for entry of an order that Catena be released from custody forthwith.
SCHREIBER, J. (dissenting).
The majority has held and found that Catena should be released because from Catena's subjective viewpoint his commitment has lost its coercive impact and become punitive. I must dissent on two grounds: (1) the test applied is unsound; and (2) even if that standard is used, the evidence does not justify the result.
To view the refusal to testify from Catena's viewpoint is to ignore the clear legislative mandate. But more than that, it results in the substitution of Catena's code for that mandate, a code which the majority points out may well be "organized crime's oath of silence." The effect of the Court's holding today is to substitute Catena's dogma for the law duly adopted by society.
The State Commission of Investigation was created to conduct investigations in connection, among other things, with the "faithful execution and effective enforcement of the laws of the State, with particular reference but not limited to organized crime and racketeering". N.J.S.A. 52:9M-2. In this respect its functions are to be carried on in cooperation with law enforcement officials (N.J.S.A. 52:9M-5 and 6) as well as making recommendations to the Governor for submission to the Legislature for legislative action "for the more effective enforcement of the law." N.J.S.A. 52: 9M-3.
The teeth in its investigative authority are found in N.J.S.A. 52:9M-17. Under that section the Commission may confer immunity upon the witness so that neither the *231 responsive evidence nor the fruits thereof may be used against him in a criminal prosecution. Once granted, it is incumbent on the witness to respond. If he refuses to do so, the witness may be "prosecuted" for contempt for failing to give an answer in accordance with the order of the Commission.
The prime purpose of the act is to satisfy the public need for the information irrespective of the stubbornness of the witness. The Legislature, fully aware of that need, authorized the Commission to clothe the witness with immunity so that the data could be obtained. Refusal to comply with the order justifies a finding of contempt. The statute contemplates that the witness should be incarcerated indefinitely under those circumstances. Chief Justice Weintraub in In re Zicarelli, Occhipinti, Russo, 55 N.J. 249, 272 (1970), aff'd 406 U.S. 472, 92 S. Ct. 1670, 32 L. Ed. 2d 234 (1972), wrote:
... Here we have no doubt that the Legislature intended the S.C.I. to obtain the facts, whatever the wish of the person subpoenaed. The very provision for a grant of immunity repels the notion that a witness may choose to be silent for a price.
The State's primary motive is to obtain information. "[T]he mission of the S.C.I. is to obtain facts for the Legislature and the mere punishment of a recalcitrant witness would not achieve that end." In re Zicarelli, Occhipinti, Russo, supra, 55 N.J. at 272. In the absence of a showing that the public need for that information no longer exists, the contempt remains unabated. "To uphold a coercive commitment in an investigatory proceeding, there must be a present and continuing interest in the information requested." Note, "The Application of the Law of Contempt to the Uphaus Case," 61 Colum. L. Rev. 725, 735 (1961). No one has asserted or offered any evidence that the Commission's position has ever been any other than to obtain the information which Catena probably has; and that that information is still presumably useful to the Commission. *232 Catena has conceded for the purpose of this appeal that he is able to testify and possesses information pertinent to the Commission's continuing investigation of organized crime.[1]
The fact that the imprisonment may be for an indefinite period is legally justifiable. Uphaus v. Wyman, 360 U.S. 72, 81, 79 S. Ct. 1040, 1046, 3 L. Ed. 2d 1090, 1099 (1959); Penfield Co. of California v. Securities & Exchange Commission, 330 U.S. 585, 67 S. Ct. 918, 91 L. Ed. 1117 (1947); Maggio v. Zeitz, 333 U.S. 56, 68 S. Ct. 401, 92 L. Ed. 476 (1948); In re Manna, 124 N.J. Super. 428 (App. Div.), certif. den. 64 N.J. 158 (1973). In Uphaus v. Wyman, supra, Uphaus refused to produce certain documents before a New Hampshire legislative investigating committee whose purpose was to ascertain whether subversive persons or organizations were present in the state. After refusal to comply with two subpoenas duces tecum in court, he was adjudged in contempt and committed to jail until he complied with the court order. The sentence was upheld. The Court relied on the following language in Green v. United States, 356 U.S. 165, 197, 78 S. Ct. 632, 650, 2 L. Ed. 2d 672, 696 (1958) (dissenting opinion):
Before going any further, perhaps it should be emphasized that we are not at all concerned with the power of courts to impose conditional imprisonment for the purpose of compelling a person to obey a valid order. Such coercion, where the defendant carries the keys to freedom in his willingness to comply with the court's directive, is essentially a civil remedy designed for the benefit of other parties and has quite properly been exercised for centuries to secure compliance with judicial decrees.
One court recently has held that, where the individual had been in jail for one year for failure to comply with a *233 court order to disclose the location of a child, so long as the witness had the power to obey, the incarceration was proper. People ex rel. Feldman v. Warden, etc., 46 A.D.2d 256, 362 N.Y.S.2d 171 (App. Div. 1974). The court stated:
The law is clear that one who has been directed by a court to perform an act which the court finds is within that person's power to perform, he may be imprisoned until the act is performed.
... The appellant should not be allowed to bargain and barter with the court on the conditions of her compliance.... 362 N.Y.S.2d at 173-174.
In the absence of demonstrating that the public need for the information no longer exists, Catena should not be permitted to substitute his code for the law of society. He should not be permitted to remain "silent for a price."
Even applying the subjective standard, namely, when did Catena's incarceration lose its coercive effect, the record here is insufficient to justify his release.
Incarceration has a dual aspect insofar as the prisoner is concerned. It is both coercive and punitive. There can be no doubt that from the outset he must consider his being jailed as punishment. "[I]ncarcerating a man until he does a certain act is as much a punishment of his original refusal to do that same act as it is a coercion of his doing it in the future." Goldfarb, The Contempt Power 60 (1963). The longer he is there, the more extensive the punishment. On the other hand, as time passes the coercive force of the desire to open the door to freedom in all likelihood becomes greater too. Age and health do not necessarily detract from and may in fact increase the coercive effect of imprisonment.[2]
*234 At what point the imprisoned person becomes completely adjusted to that life depends on the individual. Certain types of personalities can withstand strain over a longer period of time than others. Menninger, Psychiatry In A Troubled World 145 (1948). In considering the effects of imprisonment it has been said that: "The different ways in which punishment is accepted, and the different time taken in the development of the mental processes cause great inequalities." Ohm, Personality Changes During Deprivation of Liberty (1964), summarized in Excerpta Criminologica 219 (1965).
Where, as here, the legislative intent has been expressed to compel the witness to divulge the information in return for immunity, and where the factual issue to be resolved will vary from individual to individual depending upon his personality, psychiatric reactions and adjustment, it is incumbent on him to prove clearly and convincingly that continued incarceration will have no coercive effect. Catena has not met that burden. His continuous legal attacks since incarceration, on many different grounds, until November 1974, reflect a hope which diluted the coercive effect of the order. Catena v. Seidl, 65 N.J. 257, 263 (1974). Conspicuous by its absence was any expert psychiatric evidence. As noted earlier, age and health may well be factors which have primarily a coercive drive rather than resignation. This Court in Catena v. Seidl, supra, 65 N.J. at 264, in June 1974 wrote:
The argument is made that Catena's age, condition of health and his persistent silence for four years, without more, establish a prima facie case that his commitment has failed as a coercive measure. We cannot agree. As heretofore noted, Catena's past silence can be rationally attributed to considerations other than an adamant refusal to purge himself of contempt despite the consequences. *235 There has been nothing more satisfactorily shown in this record to alter the conclusion we made then. Having failed to establish clearly and convincingly that continued imprisonment has lost its coercive import, Catena should not be freed.
I would reverse.
Justice MOUNTAIN joins in this dissent.
For remand Chief Justice HUGHES, Justices SULLIVAN, PASHMAN and CLIFFORD and Judge CONFORD 5.
Opposed Justices MOUNTAIN and SCHREIBER 2.
[1] In In re Farr, 36 Cal. App. 3d 577, 111 Cal. Rptr. 649 (Ct. App. 1974) where commitment for disobedience of a court order to testify was involved, it was suggested that it became necessary to determine the point at which the commitment ceased to serve its coercive purpose and became punitive in character only in a situation where the continuous silence was based on "an established articulated moral principle." We reject this limitation as incapable of practical application.
[1] Catena v. Seidl, 66 N.J. 32, 38 (1974). Inability to comply with the order would justify release. Maggio v. Zeitz, 333 U.S. 56, 68 S. Ct. 401, 92 L. Ed. 476 (1948). This is not the situation where "[a] man, faced with perpetual imprisonment till he discloses his confederates, will in the end find confederates to disclose." Loubriel v. United States, 9 F.2d 807, 809 (2 Cir. 1926).
[2] The plaintiff places great stress on the argument that the trial judge's findings should not be disturbed unless clearly mistaken. State v. Johnson, 42 N.J. 146 (1964). Appellate review of a conviction for contempt is had on the law and facts. R. 2:10-4. In re Ruth M. Buehrer, et al., 50 N.J. 501, 516 (1967); In re Education Association of Passaic, Inc., 117 N.J. Super. 255, 259 (App. Div. 1971), certif. den. 60 N.J. 198 (1972).

DVD REVIEW:
HOW TO LOSE FRIENDS AND ALIENATE PEOPLE
SYNOPSIS: How to Lose Friends and Alienate People follows the escapades of Sidney Young (Pegg), a small-time aspiring British celebrity journalist who is hired by an upscale magazine after catching the attention of Clayton Harding (Bridges) during an event by creating a ridiculous scene with the help of a wild pig. Turning in a new direction, Sidney begins his descent into success and re-establishes himself from lonely outsider to confidante of starlet Sophie Maes (Fox), and enters into a love affair with colleague Alison Olsen (Dunst) that will either make him or break him.
REVIEW: So Simon Pegg is starring in another movie. Should we expect something along the lines of Shaun of the Dead or Hot Fuzz? The answer is a definite no. This comedy, with a splash of romance, will surprise you with its wit and intelligence. It is very funny with a touch of charming. Simon gives glimpses of the depth of his acting talent. He really shines in this picture and pretty much takes it over, but not from lackluster performances of his co-stars, it's just that he was that good. His co-stars also shine with decent performances. Kirsten Dunst was sharp and complimented Simon very nicely. Jeff Bridges gave a strong, intimidating performance as Sidney Young's (Simon Pegg) boss. Megan Fox has one of the most appropriate last names of anyone I know. She expertly plays Sophie Maes, a young, spoiled, not-so-bright up and coming movie star/sex symbol who is willing to do almost any stunt to be on everyone's headlines. She plays the role almost too good; like it was second nature to her. Put this all together and add a reasonable storyline that actually takes a back seat to the hilarious situations and interactions between these delightful characters and you've got a very fun movie to watch.
Although the title of this film might get your attention, many might think it to be corny and I agree. It really doesn't do the film justice even though it certainly applies. It is the title of the book of which this movie is based and I have a feeling that it is more appropriate as the title of the book than as the title of this movie. But regardless, don't let the title of this movie throw you off in regards to the quality of it. It will surprise you. The lovable character Sidney Young has but one goal in life, to somehow get "in" the celebrity world. He is a struggling journalist whose ideals and lack of tact severely clash with the people in that world, thus the title. In order for someone to be good at losing friends and alienating people, you know the script has got to be sharp, witty, sarcastic, and quick. In this case it is all of the above which helped make the film that much more enjoyable. The primary back drops for this movie are appropriately the two major celebrity capitals of this country, L.A. and N.Y., and they are both represented in all their glory.
This is the first major motion picture direction for Robert B. Weide who has done a lot of TV work. He did a great job of connecting the viewer with the various characters in such a brief and subtle way as well as keeping the viewer tuned in via the comedy and quick pace of the film. All I can say is that I was surrounded by hard and loud laughter throughout the movie so I don't think you'll be disappointed if you give this movie a chance.

Our Thursday classes feature intermediate level sequences in East Coast Swing and Lindy Hop, and are held on a drop-in basis so you can attend whenever it fits into your schedule (no pre-registraion needed!). Each Lindy Hop lesson starts with a few footwork drills to get you warmed up. Here's the Thursday night schedule.
On the 1st Thursday of every month we teach the basics of each style so students can get an idea of how each dance works. In both classes we emphasize proper technique, styling, and lead-&-follow connection concepts. And don't forget that Late Night Swing is free for all who take the class.
EAST COAST SWING starts with the basic step in facing position, then adds turns for the Follow, the Lead and both, and moving in and out of closed position.
LINDY HOP starts with 8-count rhythm drills, then you'll learn the swing-out from closed and open positions, and circling back to closed position.


Jeddah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Planned and Designed in 1980 Associated Firm- Campus Consortium Consultants Unbuilt The campus of King Abdulaziz University is located just outside the red Sea City of Jeddah, on a 1600-acre (650 ha) site, which currently contains 10,000 students in temporary buildings. The new phased, multi-disciplinary campus will ultimately contain over 17,000 students, 2000 faculty and 5800 support staff. The academic facilities are grouped in three main campuses: Men's Campus, Men's Health Sciences Campus and Hospital; Women's Academic and Medical Campus. Both the Men's and Women's Campuses have major student residential units closely linked and integrated with the academic facilities. The other major land-use zones are residences for some 3300 faculty and staff in a variety of villa and apartment types. These are grouped around three neigbourhood centres, which in turn are related to a major community centre. Extensive contextual research into Arabian and Islamic culture, Islamic design principles, traditional Islamic settlement organizations, indigenous social patterns and values, and climate studies were undertaken. This led to the overall organizational and massing concept: a citadel. This walled city forms a mosaic of Islamic life, each component participation equally and without segregation, contributing to a totality of urban space, but also having identifiable local districts centred around a mosque, each in balance with the whole, and focusing on the main mosque. The major academic buildings are planned on the basis of two primary principles. First, each has a principal gateway leading to a series of landscaped and shaded courtyards around which are grouped faculty departments or, as in the case of student housing, a socially balanced group of residences and their common support facilities. Second, all major buildings are conceived as introverted and inward looking with a central pedestrian route at two levels, one totally enclosed and air- conditioned, the other outdoor.

[Extra] Marriage, Drinks on a Day Out VOL. 5. Hyogo Prefecture Edition Tatsuuma Honke Brewery's "Hakushika Ozu Shiboritate" & Plum Cake!
The charm of sake is that it shows various faces according to the delicacies with which it's combined, its temperature, and the differences in the vessel in which it's served. The harmonizing elegance it displays while bringing out the strengths of its partner foods is its distinctive characteristic.
While enjoying the "gentle tipsiness" unique to sake, how about searching for your preferred flavor? Time spent with sake brings a smile to one's face without fail!
"Marriage, Drinks with the Family" is a section where Yoko Suganami, a sake specialist who has visited over 10 thousand restaurants both in Japan and abroad, introduces various local Seto Inland Sea region sakes, and what are in her view the best foods to go with them.
"Hakushika Ozu Shiboritate" brewed by the Tatsuuma Honke Brewery.
In addition to the 4 main elements included in sake, 1) fragrance rate 2) umami rate 3) acidity rate 4) sweetness rate, the graph expresses the "rate of locality" (Setouchi rate) which I added to express how locally the rice and yeast utilized is sourced.
Known for Nada Sake, Hyogo prefecture, the largest sake production area in Japan, has prospered as a famous sake-brewing region since the Edo period. While the region is blessed with the ingredients essential for sake brewing, brewer's rice and Miyamizu water (high quality mineral water), cold winds from the Rokko mountains and the Seto Inland Sea area's climate help in brewing, the techniques of the Tamba Toji (brewers) and the convenient location of Nishinomiya harbor, which is perfect for transporting sake, make the area ideal.
This time I visited Ozu, a sake salon operated by the Nada Sake brewery, Tatsuuma Honke Brewery, and experienced a marriage of sake that piqued my curiosity!
Due to the quality of the local water, many Nada sakes are dry and have a 'bite', and are therefore often referred to as otoko-sake (men's sake).
Today I'm going to introduce Hakushika Ozu shiboritate sake. This one is actually futsushu, (ordinary sake*)! Ozu is sold in trendy looking bottles, the shape of which is very smart and looks somehow lovely even when pouring.
*Ordinary sake (futsushu): Seishu (refined sake) that does not correspond to a specific class name such as honjyouzou, junmaishu, or ginjoshu is called futsushu, i.e. 'ordinary sake'.
Ordinary sake has the image of something you happen to have at hand, a beverage enjoyed regularly as a night cap. However, in line with the image of its bottle, Hakushika Ozu Shiboritate is such a refreshing and refined sake that you may start doubting that it is actually ordinary sake! However, it also has characteristics typical of futsushu, a flavor you won't grow tired of and one you can share with anyone.
Giving off an elegant La France pear fragrance, I was served a rare combination of Hakushika Ozu shiboritate with green tea infused with cold water, and a luxurious Japanese sweet called "Kobai mochi" ('red blossomed plum rice cake').
I recommend enjoying this simple and refreshing sake either chilled or at room temperature!
Okay then, let's try it!
The bite of the sake is softened by matching it with the delicate, refined sweetness of the "Kobai mochi". On the other hand, combining it with the dryness of the sake, the flavor of the sweet becomes even rounder. It's a truly well-matched combination where instead of losing the characteristics of each party, the fusion gave birth to a further abundance of flavor! The chilled tea clears the palate and acts as a livening-up act for the marriage between the sake and the sweet.
The vessel in which the sake was served was apparently designed with the image of a flower bouquet in mind.
Another drinking vessel that caught my eye at the salon was this wooden cup.
Pouring sake from the wooden pail, the sound of the sake being poured into the wooden vessel, and its scent… It was a truly luxurious experience that allowed me to enjoy the sake with all five senses.
Traveling together with sake, you learn about the food culture, the history and the people of each region. By searching for your preferred sake and delicious snacks, and choosing a wonderful vessel to drink it from, you're sure to find new sake flavors while increasing your appreciation of this wonderful beverage.

Reifsteck Reid and their architectural partner DLR Group were hired to design an addition to the existing Blue Ridge Junior High School for grades 4-6. The design aimed at creating an addition that would blend well with the existing building built in the 1930s.
As part of the design process RR and DLR conducted a 2-day community wide design charrette to establish requirements, priorities and goals for the project. Approximately 50 community members broke into teams to discuss and develop organizational concepts.

Cookbooks for the summer
While it might be hard to contemplate cooking on these hot summer days, there are a few recent cookbooks enticing enough to draw you into the kitchen – with savory results.
Jewish Soul Food: From Minsk to Marrakesh (Schocken Publishers, 2014) is Janna Gur's third cookbook. It follows The Book of New Israeli Food: A Culinary Journey (Schocken, 2008), and she also edited and published Fresh Flavors from Israel (Al Hashulchan, 2010).
Gur's family immigrated to Israel from Riga, Latvia, in 1974. She completed a bachelor's degree in English literature and art history and a master's degree in translation and literary theory. In 1991, she and her husband founded Al Hashulchan, a Hebrew food magazine.
In an interview with thekitchn.com, Gur explains that she wrote this new cookbook "to give the North American audience a taste of what Jewish foods could be – how diverse and wonderful they are, and how possible it is to make them a part of our modern cooking."
Gur's aim was to make a focused, edited and approachable collection of 100 recipes from as many Jewish communities as possible. She wanted them to be authentic, to fit the modern kitchen and to answer the question, What is the soul of the dish "that makes us relish it and want to make it ours?"
The eight chapters include starters, salads and noshes (23 recipes); cozy soups for chilly nights (14 recipes); meat balls, fish balls and stuffed vegetables (10 recipes); braises, pot roasts and ragus (13 recipes); meatless mains (12 recipes); savory pastries (11 recipes); Shabbat state of mind (10 recipes); and cakes, cookies and desserts (20 recipes).
There are 94 color illustrations, which are beautiful and mouth-watering.
For me, as a cook, the three most useful aspects of a cookbook are all here: every recipe has its country of origin, a brief story and numbered instructions.
And what wonderful countries of origin for these recipes – Morocco, Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania, Algeria, Libya, North Africa, Georgia, Kurdistan, Russia, Persia, Syria, Turkey, Bulgaria, Iraq, India, Yemen and America. As the book's promotional material notes, the cuisines from most of these countries may be "on the verge of extinction … because almost none of the Jewish communities in which they developed and thrived still exist. But they continue to be viable in Israel, where there are still cooks from the immigrant generations who know and love these dishes. Israel has become a living laboratory for this beloved and endangered Jewish food." And the hope for Jewish Soul Food is that it will help "preserve traditional cuisine for future generations" by encouraging people to cook it.

Former Wall Street lawyer Ronnie Fein decided to become a freelance food and kitchen appliance writer. This led to the Ronnie Fein School of Creative Cooking, lecturing and cooking demonstrations – and cookbooks. She has written several, but describes Hip Kosher: 175 Easy-to-Prepare Recipes for Today's Kosher Cooks (Da Capo Press, 2008) and The Modern Kosher Kitchen: More than 125 Inspired Recipes for a New Generation of Kosher Cooks (Fair Winds Press, 2014) as "more labors of love."
She writes on her website (ronniefein.com): "They are, like this website, my efforts to bring the world of kosher cooking into 21st-century America. Just as our kosher ancestors cooked the same foods as their neighbors in Eastern Europe or the Middle East or wherever they happened to live, and adapted it to the dietary laws, why shouldn't we, right here in America?"
Fein says she wrote The Modern Kosher Kitchen "to try to inspire all home cooks who keep kosher and would like to prepare the kinds of foods that informed, sophisticated – hip – folks want to cook today."
And the focus is, indeed, on modern American recipes – "multicultural, innovative and interesting." Every recipe is marked meat, dairy or pareve, and every recipe has some introductory remarks, which I think make the recipe so much more personal and interesting. As well, every recipe has a "Did you know?" or serving suggestions and substitutions. Most recipes also have a boxed tip, piece of advice. When a recipe runs to a second page, it is always opposite, so the cook does not have to turn the page while working.
The 12 chapters include appetizers; soups; salads; grains, beans, pasta and vegetarian dishes; fish; meat; poultry; vegetables and side dishes; breakfast, brunch and sandwiches; budget meals; Passover dishes and desserts. Ingredients are listed in imperial measurements as well as metric.
Although there are 127 recipes, there are only 39 beautiful, mouth-watering color photographs – but that is certainly not a reason to pass up this book. My only criticism about the cookbook is that the instructions are in paragraphs and not numbered, which I find easier to follow.
Rounding out these reviews is not a kosher cookbook per se, however, by eliminating the cheese or using pareve chicken stock, some of the recipes could be adapted.
Amy Riolo (amyriolo.com) is an Italian American whose ancestors came from Calabria. She is the author of many cookbooks, a chef and a TV personality, so I felt that her most recent publication – The Ultimate Mediterranean Diet Cookbook (Fair Winds Press, 2015) – was worth noting.
The 101 recipes in this book were included because of their taste, authenticity and nutritional value. They are low in fat, cholesterol and sodium, and packed with vitamins, minerals and healthful properties. There are also seven recipes specifically listed as alternatively gluten free.
The recipes are organized according to the Mediterranean diet pyramid with fruits, vegetables, grains, olive oil, beans, nuts, legumes and seeds, herbs and spices at the bottom, for every meal to be based on these foods. Above them are fish and seafood to be served twice a week. Above them are poultry, eggs, cheese and yogurt to be served in moderate portions daily or weekly. At the top of the pyramid are the least-served foods – meats and sweets.
Categorizing the recipes to give the reader an idea of what is included, one can find recipes for seven soups, five fish meals, four breads, six pasta, eight appetizers and sauces, five dips, three egg dishes, one sandwich, five poultry meals, eight side dishes, eight salads, eight main dishes, nine vegetables, 10 fruit dishes and six desserts.
Each recipe has a little story, the list of ingredients opposite the instructions (regrettably, not numbered) and a boxed Mediterranean lifestyle tip to "enhance the daily living aspects of the eating plan," along with meal plans and serving suggestions.
At the end are a glossary with pantry foods defined, a bibliography and a selection of websites, magazine/newspaper articles and journals for further reading.
The 69 color illustrations are so tempting cooks will be motivated to rush to the kitchen to start making these dishes.
