Hidden away from the hustle and bustle of Padstow, St Petroc’s is a coastal retreat especially suited to foodies – with as much intricacy in the originally styled bedrooms, as the fresh, seasonal dishes. Enjoy cocktails at Ruby’s Bar before feasting alfresco in the pretty courtyard garden or relaxed bistro.
Located in the charming fishing port of Padstow, on the north Cornish coast. St Petroc’s – the fifth oldest building in the town – is set on the hillside, away from the holidaying hordes and a minute walk from the harbour with it’s authentic pubs, cafés, restaurants, boutiques and galleries. Stop into the contemporary Drang Gallery to see works by Damien Hurst, Sir Peter Blake, Tracy Emin and Dave White.
Padstow, situated on the west bank of the River Camel, is home to sweeping sands and miles of scenic coastal walks. It's also five miles north of Wadebridge, and 10 miles north of Bodmin, with links to mainline trains. For exhilarating views across to Rock and Daymer Bay, trek up to the war memorial or cycle the six-mile trail along the Camel Estuary.
A rustic bistro with rooms. This quirky, centuries-old building has recently been extended to include a lounge and private dining room, along with cocktail bar – Ruby’s – that's reminiscent of an old sailors' cellar-bar with original beer barrels and faux library wallpaper set against low lighting. Décor in the communal spaces is cool and contemporary; think bright, white wood-cladded rooms with original features, including large wooden beams, winding stairs and cosy fireplaces. Colour palettes combine soft grey and white hues, a clean backdrop for the extensive collection of artwork and photography.

One-fifth of Russians believe that doing business in the country is easier for foreigners than for local businessmen, a survey has revealed.
Twenty percent of participants in a poll by the Public Opinion Foundation believe that foreign investors working in Russia enjoy more benefits than their local peers, since the government is trying to create favorable conditions to attract companies from abroad.
Almost the same number of respondents — 15 percent — said foreign businessmen face more obstacles than Russians, citing problems like red tape, corruption, a different mentality and poor knowledge of the Russian language.
However, half of Russians were optimistic about the government's efforts to attract foreign investment, saying those efforts are effective. Only 10 percent of respondents said the state is hampering foreign investment in Russia, while the remaining 40 percent were undecided.
Nearly a third (29 percent) of participants in the survey said foreign investment is most useful in the medical sector. Heavy industry and agriculture were ranked second and third, with 23 percent and 22 percent of votes, respectively.
A total of 23 percent of Russians said foreign investment is beneficial for the country, since it helps strengthen the country's economy, develop manufacturing and create jobs, while 18 percent pointed out that the inflow of foreign investment can affect the country's economy negatively. The work of foreign companies in Russia results in money outflow and discrimination against local manufacturers, they said.
Twenty-three percent of respondents said foreign investment does not affect the country's economy.
The foundation surveyed 1,500 people in 100 locations across Russia for two days earlier this month, with the margin of error at about 3.6 percent, according to the research center's website.
The survey was released amid the government's intensified efforts to improve the business climate and make Russia more attractive for foreign investors. President Vladimir Putin ordered the government last year to ensure that the country moves up by 100 positions in the World Bank's Doing Business ranking to become No. 20 by 2016.
About 80 residents at a town meeting in Preston began wrestling Thursday night with an ordinance change that would give the Preston Redevelopment Agency management and financial powers to implement a plan to develop the 390-acre former Norwich Hospital site.
A vote had not been taken as of late Thursday, and the ordinance change and conceptual plan were considered to go hand in hand. Residents who spoke at the meeting indicated they were concerned about giving the agency chairman too much power to make spending decisions.
Bruce Chudwick, a lawyer for the Board of Selectmen, said if voters at a town meeting made substantive changes to the ordinance, they might as well reject the plan outright.
Resident Bill Legler introduced an amendment that would require spending and contracts to get the approval of the majority of the agency.
Chudwick explained that a majority of the agency would have to approve a budget anyway, so Legler’s amendment appeared to be a clarification rather than a substantive change to the way the agency would do business.
For example, the chairman would still be able to approve individual spending or contracts, provided they were approved earlier by the agency majority in a budget.
Redevelopment Agency Chairman Kerry Gentry said earlier that the chairman must have the ability to make financial decisions within the budget, without having to convene a volunteer board of 10 members every time a decision is made.
Legler explained that he is not opposed to the agency trying to implement a plan.
“I’m 98 percent in favor of this plan,” he said.
However, it was not clear the plan would pass. Legler appeared to have an audience for his concern about the powers of the board, and about the spending powers of any one individual.
The new film from Get Out director Jordan Peele is another indication that he might just be the American version of the great French film director, Jean-Luc Godard.
That’s high praise indeed, especially given that Us is only Peele’s second film. The comparisons are pertinent because the American director displays a fascination with semiotics and makes use of cultural references with the same adroitness as the French New Wave director.
The good news for cinema audiences is that while Godard references academics and theories that most of us have never heard of, Peele references ingrained pop cultural phenomena including Michael Jackson, The Lost Boys and Jaws.
Us tells the story of a middle-class African-American family who go on holiday to Santa Cruz, California. Mum Adelaide Wilson, played by Lupita Nyong’o, is not happy about this, as back in 1986 she went missing on the very same beach after wandering into a haunted hall of mirrors. She’s right to worry, as on their first night there, the family are attacked by their doppelgangers.
On the surface this is a straight home-invasion movie, but look closely and there’s something much more sinister and crafty at work. It was while watching an episode of The Twilight Zone, titled Mirror Image, in the fifth-floor apartment of the Manhattan brownstone where he grew up, that Peele first became exposed to doppelgangers. Mirror Image stars Vera Barnes, and it tells the story of a young career woman who encounters a lookalike while waiting for a bus, and becomes convinced it is an evil entity from a parallel universe. The storyline haunted him so much that he used it as the basis of Us.
Peele, 40, first found fame in front of the camera as a comedian working on sketch show Key & Peele. His life seems to have now come full circle, as he has been tapped to produce new episodes of The Twilight Zone.
This follows on from the success of him producing Spike Lee’s Oscar-winning BlacKkKlansman. His directorial efforts in Get Out and Us also demonstrate his obsession with doubles and dualities. Part of the black experience in America is about dual identity, code switching and double consciousness, so it’s an influence that is both individual and communal across society. Even the title of his new movie recognises that and has a double meaning – it also refers to the acronym for the United States. In fact, Peele says Us “is about the duality of the United States, first and foremost”.
And it’s true, even if the layers make it a less immediately gratifying watch than his Oscar-winning race drama Get Out, arguably the best American film of the past decade.
Some of that imagery can be seen on T-shirts that its characters are wearing, which have references to Thriller, Jaws and the California punk band Black Flag. These give notice that Us is all about our inner demons. Take Michael Jackson’s Thriller for example, which itself is an ode to the late singer’s love for horror movies. The famous music video directed by John Landis is full of horror references and features Jackson appearing as a seemingly nice guy on a date, who then turns into a werewolf and a zombie – a suggestion of his inner demons, perhaps. Peele draws parallels between Jackson’s vision and his own.
Us is kind of subjective; you can probably look at it and define it in many different ways and analyse it how you choose.
With Us arriving just a few weeks after the airing of the documentary Leaving Neverland, it is also a test of how much audiences can stomach pop-culture references being made about a singer whose personal conduct is under such a dark cloud. Yet Peele just sees the whole furore adding to this film, rather than detracting from it.
Us is the latest part of a promised series of four films from Peele, all of which are social thrillers in the vein of Get Out that look to hone in on contemporary society so the good news is that even more doppelgangers are on the way.
Perhaps by the time the fourth film arrives, everyone might be saying Peele is the American Godard.
A week on from its launch, how does Apple's new iPhone 6s Plus handle?
When Apple first launched the iPhone 6 Plus in 2014, many were disappointed to find a larger version of the iPhone 6.
Fast forward twelve months however, and is this version any different?
A week on from its global launch, the iPhone 6s Plus has found its own identity with the inclusion of 3D Touch and 4K video, but visually it’s the same big brother of the iPhone 6s.
Design wise, the device measures in at 15.8 cm long, just under 7.8 cm wide and 192 grams.
Apple’s first introduction of pressure sensitive interactions were unveiled in the newest versions of the MacBook portfolio and in the Apple Watch as various shortcuts, but this feature has now been refined and renamed 3D Touch on the new smartphone models.
The first thing users will notice is the ability to quickly view emails and messages through the 3D Touch feature, with a slightly harder touch taking you into the selected message and a slightly longer press will bringing up a menu of options to launch actions without hesitation.
Already, many people have commented on having the ability to customise the list of options and interactions, so time will tell if Apple introduce this feature in a later operating system update.
3D Touch also provides a new level of convenience to users, with navigating through an older iPhone laboured compared to the faster, smoother and more responsive iPhone 6s Plus.
The iPhone 6s and 6s Plus are the only handsets to incorporate this technology into their handsets, which helps when the 6s Plus comes with stylus compatibility, but still does not provide one with their handsets.
Users can also press and hold the keyboard and this will transform into a trackpad, so you can edit your typing with more accuracy.
Apple will be hoping to get more developers involved with 3D Touch and integrating the technology into their apps, and with giants such as Facebook, Instagram and Dropbox already incorporating this into their apps, other developers will not be far behind.
Another positive of the 6s Plus is its 1920x1080 display, which is truly great for watching Full HD video or anybody who watches a lot of Lightbox or Neon on the go.
The screen is not all positive news however, as the clarity comes in at 401ppi, which leaves it lagging behind the likes of the Samsung Galaxy Note 5.
That said, another positive aspect of the 6s Plus is the construction of the device as it now incorporates 7000 series aluminium, which should prevent the bending issues of the original 6 Plus devices - although such claims still lack evidence.
Small handed people should be warned that the device is arge and you will need to use both hands at the same time in order to operate the device properly.
A National Football League stadium in Laurel would meet all federal, state and local air quality standards, the Redskins' environmental engineer testified yesterday.
Robert P. Newman, of E.A. Engineering Science and Technology, Inc., spoke at a public hearing at Meade Senior High School, now in its third week.
The Redskins are seeking a special exception allowing them to build a 78,600-seat, $160 million stadium in an industrial zone next to Laurel Race Course. They also are seeking seven variances from county codes on matters such as parking, landscaping and time limits for project completion.
Stadium opponents have cited air quality concerns to argue that the Redskins should build their new home in an urban setting, with mass transit already in place. However, Mr. Newman said the auto emissions from game-day stadium traffic "would not be detrimental to public health, safety and welfare."
Federal standards allow 40 milligrams of carbon monoxide per cubic meter of air. Mr. Newman said the highest level that would result from stadium traffic would be 21 milligrams per cubic meter of air at a spot along Whiskey Bottom Road.
And, Mr. Newman said, the impact on ozone levels would be too small to measure with the regional computer modeling used by the EPA.
The firm is also investing Bt500 million to expand its data centre at Amata City Industrial Estate.
Manabu Kahara, president of NTT Communications (Thailand), said that the firm has moved to set up Innovation Lab in order to showcase various innovative solutions to support manufacturing and the security insurance industries in order to help them improve the efficiency and productivity of their businesses. He added that the firm within this year will invest around Bt500 million in order to set up the third-phase expansion of the Bangkok 2 Data Centre at Amata City Industrial Estate. When it opens in July, the centre will boast a high-density 1,200 square-metre space with 2,000-kilowatt power facilitates to support Thailand’s investment policy in Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC).
The large investment will enable equipping the centre with a high level of stability and data security, as well as being able to provide customers with comprehensive services. The centre’s latest phase will retain the benefits of Nexcentre with its focus on quality, flexibility and cost-efficiency in responding to the business expansion and industrial investment in the EEC area.
IDC reported that by 2022, 15 per cent of public cloud computing in Thailand will be based on non-x86 processors (including quantum). By then, organisations will be spending more on vertical software as a service (SaaS) apps than on horizontal apps.
By 2024, AI-enabled user interfaces and process automation will replace one-third of today’s screen-based apps in Thailand. Also, by 2022, 20 per cent of enterprises will use conversational speech tech for customer engagement. And by 2023, some 25 per cent of servers in Thailand will encrypt data at rest and in motion; over 20 per cent of security alerts will be handled by AI-powered automation, and 3.5 million people will have blockchain-based digital identities.
By the end of fiscal 2019, the firm expects to generate revenue growth of 10 per cent over last year, he noted, adding that it has around 1,000 enterprise and business customers. Around 50 per cent are Japanese companies, with local companies making up the rest, including international branches of US and European companies. Local companies are expected to reach 60 per cent of customers over the next three years.
In this Oct. 15, 1954 file photo, high tides, whipped in by Hurricane Hazel, shatter boats and buildings in Swansboro, N.C., as the storm lashes the Atlantic seaboard. The last time the midsection of the East Coast stared down a hurricane like Florence, Dwight Eisenhower was in the White House and Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio were newlyweds. Florence could inflict the hardest hurricane punch the Carolinas have seen in more than 60 years, with rain and wind of more than 130 mph (209 kph).
The last time the midsection of the East Coast stared down a hurricane like this, Dwight Eisenhower was in the White House and Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio were newlyweds.
As Hurricane Matthew approaches, residents living along the East Coast are being reminded that it never hurts to be prepared for the worst case scenario. Water, canned food and batteries are just some of the items you'll need for a hurricane survival kit.
Former “Daily Show” host Jon Stewart made a surprise appearance on his former colleague Stephen Colbert’s new stomping grounds on Thursday to promote a serious cause – the preservation of a health care program for 9/11 first responders.
Stewart showed up during Colbert’s opening monologue to bring attention to legislation – the Zadroga Act – he’s been aggressively lobbying for on Capitol Hill.
However, because his message hasn’t been getting through to legislators, he and Colbert came up with a novel idea. They decided to “Trump it up,” disguising Stewart as the ubiquitous GOP presidential front-runner. Sporting a wig and adding Cheetos dust as make-up to turn his completion more ruddy, Stewart made his case.
“These 9/11 first responders, let me tell you something, these 9/11 first responders are the most top-notch, first-class, diamond-encrusted heroes America can produce,” Stewart told the audience in an exaggerated Trump impression. “I will build a wall around politics, and I will make politics pay for it,” he added in character. He went on to encourage viewers to use the popular hashtag #WorstResponders to shame Congress into action.
The 53-year-old comedian, who retired from his 16-year stint at “The Daily Show” in August, has been calling out Republican legislators, and Sen. Mitch McConnell in particular, for stalling the bill.
