SENTIDO Perissia Reveals Own Organic Farm

SENTIDO has revealed its own farm located at its Perissia hotel in Turkey, offering freshly-served local organic food to holidaymakers.

2011-05-11

OBERURSEL, GERMANY, May 11, 2011 (Press-News.org) The SENTIDO Perissia hotel, located in the Turkish holiday region of Side, is to offer products from its own farm. Guests who visit any of the six restaurants of the hotel are spoiled for choice with aromatic home-grown olives, tomatoes, grapes and figs as well as freshly-harvested pistachios and peanuts all on offer among other fresh produce.

Ahmet Turgan, General Manager of the five-star hotel, said: "On our 500 hectare farm we harvest organic apples and organic vegetables, we press our own olive oil and we produce wine from our organic grapes. All this effort is worth it because good catering is an important holiday decision-factor for many guests. 37 per cent of our guests are regular visitors.

"Fruit, vegetables, olives, olive oil, bread, jam and nuts are served with organic quality and without additives directly from the farm. Our cooks prepare many of the dishes directly in front of the guests."

The beach hotel in Turkey and the farm benefit from their location on the Turkish Mediterranean coast. The Turkish Riviera is known as the country's garden. The slopes of the Taurus mountains ensure an ideal climate. Fruit, vegetables and cereals grow particularly well on the fertile plains of the Mediterranean region. The farm of the hotelier's family is worked by 60 staff. Olive trees and grapevines grow on an area of 250 hectares, while the fruit trees and vegetable gardens cover the remaining 250 hectares. The olive oil and the wine is pressed and produced directly at the site. About 60 per cent of the wine offered in the hotel comes from its vineyard.

The five-star SENTIDO Perissia lies directly on a long sandy beach and is 3km away from the historic centre of Side. Guests can select from one buffet restaurant and five a-la-carte restaurants specialising in fish dishes, barbecue food, Turkish, Italian and Chinese dishes. Five bars, a Turkish cafe and three pools ensure a perfect holiday. Visitors can relax in the newly-renovated wellness centre, with sauna and Turkish bath. Sports enthusiasts can choose various water sports, tennis, volleyball and basketball as well as aerobics and pool gymnastics. For children, the hotel offers a children's club with an outdoor play area, activities, cinema and a separate children's swimming pool. The SENTIDO Perissia has 352 rooms that are fitted with marble floors, satellite TV, coffee- and tea-making facilities, mini-bar and air conditioning.

SENTIDO Hotels & Resorts can be booked on the Internet portal www.sentidohotels.com or through tour operators such as Thomas Cook and Neckermann Reisen.

Learning through mere exposure

2011-05-11

What was previously known from animal studies has thus for the first time been demonstrated for human individuals too. "The findings open new perspectives in the intervention and treatment of visual perceptual disorders, because the changes can be induced quite simply" said Dr. Christian Beste of the RUB Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience. New perspectives in learning "The gold standard to achieve a lasting change in behaviour and perception is by means of training and practice, which intensively stimulates the brain" explains PD Dr. Hubert Dinse from the RUB's Institute ...

Change is the order of the day in the Arctic

2011-05-11

Climate change in the Arctic is occurring at a faster and more drastic rate than previously assumed, according to experts attending the AMAP conference in Copenhagen. The latest scientific data show that developments in the Arctic's climate are closely related to developments in the rest of the world. "The order of the day in the Arctic right now is change. But we shouldn't expect that those changes will be linear in the sense of a little bit each day. We're going to see dramatic changes. If the ice in the Arctic melts it is going to lead to water level problems on a ...

Brain development goes off track as vulnerable individuals develop schizophrenia

2011-05-11

Philadelphia, PA - 11 May 2011 - Two new research studies published in Biological Psychiatry point to progressive abnormalities in brain development that emerge as vulnerable individuals develop schizophrenia. The first of these papers studied individuals with a deletion of a small section of chromosome 22. This genetic deletion often results in the development of abnormalities in the structure of the heart and of the face, a condition called velocardiofacial syndrome (VCFS; also known as 22q11.2 deletion syndrome). Up to 32% of people with VCFS develop psychotic disorders ...

Mother and kid goat vocals strike a chord

2011-05-11

Mother and kid goats recognise each other's calls soon after the mothers give birth, new research from Queen Mary, University of London reveals. The study, published in the journal Animal Cognition, measured the individuality of the goats' calls and the ability of goats to recognise the individual differences. Scientists Dr Elodie Briefer and Dr Alan McElligott from Queen Mary's School of Biological and Chemical Sciences found that mother and kid goats react more to the calls from their own kids and mothers than they do from other goats they know. Dr Briefer said: ...

Following your steak's history from pasture to plate

2011-05-11

The package on a supermarket steak may say "grass-fed" or "grass-finished," but how can a consumer know whether the cow spent its days grazing peacefully on meadow grass or actually gorged on feedlot corn? In ACS's Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, scientists are now reporting the development of a method that can reconstruct the dietary history of cattle and authenticate the origins of beef. Frank J. Monahan and colleagues note that consumers are increasingly concerned about the origins and labeling of meat, as they seek assurance about the meat's safety or ...

The '$1,000 genome' may cost $100,000 to understand

2011-05-11

Advances in technology have almost lifted the curtain on the long-awaited era of the "$1,000 genome" — a time when all the genes that make up a person can be deciphered for about that amount – compared to nearly $1 million a few years ago. But an article in the current edition of Chemical & Engineering News (C&EN), ACS' weekly newsmagazine, raises the disconcerting prospect that a price tag of $100,000, by one conservative estimate, is necessary to analyze that genetic data so it can be used in personalized medicine – custom designing treatments that fit the patient's genetic ...

A direct connection between business rates and local economy has no foundation in reality

2011-05-11

London, UK (May 11th, 2011) - In 1988 Margaret Thatcher took control of business rates away from local councils and in 2011 Eric Pickles wants to give it back to them. In his article, What do business rates measure? published by SAGE, Dominic Williams carries out research into the link between business rates and the local economy. Within this article Williams looks at the consequences should this change go ahead and what this would mean for poorer councils. He also explores supporters' views that this would give councils an incentive to promote growth in their local ...
