Restaurant charges diners $95 to slice up birthday cake

<p>A restaurant in Italy has been slammed online after charging a group of diners a hefty cost to simply cut a birthday cake into slices. </p> <p>A family attended the high-end restaurant in the southern area of ​​Arezzo to celebrate their mother's birthday, after they had asked the restaurant in advance if they could bring in an outside cake.</p> <p>After enjoying their meal, which came to a whopping €659 or $1,083 AUD, they were slapped with another fee of €58 or $95 to cut the cake and bring it to the table.</p> <p>Local news outlet <em><a href="https://corrierefiorentino.corriere.it/notizie/24_agosto_26/arezzo-ristorante-chiede-58-euro-solo-per-tagliare-la-torta-lo-scontrino-diventa-virale-e-il-gestore-quasi-si-scusa-267975fd-2227-4beb-9621-3bffb3aa4xlk.shtml" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Corriere Fiorentino</a></em> reported that the cost of slicing the cake was more than the cake itself.</p> <p>Two of the dinner guests shared the story of the expensive fee on a local Facebook page, claiming the restaurant said it is the rule of their establishment and they were required to pay it. </p> <p>The owner of the restaurant told the Italian media site, "We do not charge a cover charge and we mainly serve dishes of our own production, so we try to discourage those who bring things from outside." </p> <p>"If we consider that in Arezzo the average cover charge is 2.5 euros per person, there is not such a big difference," they said as they explained the group of diners was 13 people. </p> <p>"My restaurant has to pay for the waiter who serves at the table, the dishwasher and other related services. We have to recover them somehow."</p> <p>However, the owner did admit, "I wasn't there that evening and my employees were perhaps too fussy in managing the situation that had arisen, perhaps cutting the usual price a little or even not charging anything for the cake." </p> <p>"Better 50 euros less and people going home happy than this misunderstanding in which we are all damaged."</p> <p><em>Image credits: Corriere Fiorentino / Shutterstock </em></p>

Why Betty White is not slowing down at 95

<p><span>At 95 years old, Betty White is proving that age is no barrier to health or happiness.</span></p> <p><span>Earlier this year, </span><em><span>The Golden Girls</span></em><span> star shared how excited she was to be celebrating her 95th birthday in January.</span></p> <p><span>“I keep thinking, 'Betty, you’re 95 years old,'" she told Yahoo at the time. "I’m so blessed with good health and faculties and I’ve got memories and all that. You can’t really expect that at 95." </span></p> <p><span>She joked, "You think you'll fade off into the sunset. Well, the sun sets every night, but I just won't go away."</span></p> <p><span>In a previous interview, Betty’s former </span><em><span>Hot in Cleveland</span></em><span> co-star Wendie Malick joked about Betty’s secret to good health.</span></p> <p><span>"Hot dogs and vodka! It’s her secret weapon. I don’t think it’s for everyone — don’t try it at home!" Wendie said.</span></p> <p><span>A close friend of Betty revealed to </span><em><span>Closer Weekly </span></em><span>that the actress enjoys keeping her mind active.</span></p> <p><span>“Every single morning she reads the </span><em><span>Los Angeles Time</span></em><span>s cover to cover, along with a couple other newspapers. And she always does at least two full crossword puzzles every day," he said.</span></p> <p><span>Betty also has a physical therapist visit her twice a week to lead her through a light exercise regime including a walk around the grounds of her home.</span></p> <p><span>"She watches golf on Sundays, and then she’ll call me and say, ‘I’ve been working on my golf swing in the living room and I just can’t get my flat-iron swing right!'" her friend added.</span></p> <p><span>Betty’s friend and former housekeeper, Edna McNair, revealed that the actress is looking forward to celebrating many more birthdays in the future.</span></p> <p><span>“Last I talked to her we were teasing each other about how long we’re going to live," she said. "We said we want to be like Moses and live to be 120! We're just so glad Betty continues to feel well — and hope she's around for many, many more years to come!"</span></p>

95-year-old’s top tips for good health in old age

<p>New research has revealed New Zealand's average life expectancy is continuing to climb among both men and women.</p> <p>While Kiwis are living longer it's not to say we're living better quality lives.</p> <p>A recent study <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(16)32381-9/fulltext" target="_blank">published in The Lancet</a></span></strong> reveals that across the developed world life expectancies continue to climb, pushing above 90 for the first time. South Korean women born in 2030 are expected to live to 90.82 on average.</p> <p>New Zealand men born in 2030 rank sixth with an expected life of 83.6 on average, while Kiwi women place 16th with an average life expectancy of 86.</p> <p>"We may be living longer, but it's worthwhile asking if we're living better. There will likely be more people living with some kind of disability or illness," says University of Otago professor Tim Wilkinson. </p> <p>"While we expect the average age to level off at some point it shows no sign of doing so." he says.</p> <p>If 90 is going to become the new norm then what can we do to maintain good health in our twilight years?</p> <p>Mt Maunganui resident Joy Chappell is 95-years-old and enjoys a healthy, active lifestyle. She attributes her long life and health to a number of long-held routines and habits. </p> <p><strong>8 tips to a healthily life at 90 </strong></p> <ul> <li>Have a positive outlook. “I think the outlook we have is a big part of it. If I ever have any aches or pains I think 'o well they'll go away', and they do."</li> <li>Exercise regularly at any age. "I exercise once a week at the Get Fit class held at my retirement village. Up until recently I had a mini trampoline in my bedroom and most mornings I'd get out of bed and jump on it to get the blood flowing."</li> <li>Avoid alcohol. "I have never drunk spirits in my life and don't really drink any other kind of alcohol, I have no desire for it. A lot of people I know drink alcohol at night and I don't think that's great for your health."</li> <li>Don't over-eat. "I stop eating when I feel full." It's the simplest way to maintain weight, she says. </li> <li>Eat a healthy breakfast. "I have porridge every morning with a seed mix and turmeric sprinkled over top and I’ll have some fruit too."</li> <li>Stay hydrated. "I drink a lot of water. There's always a glass beside my bed."</li> <li>Keep your brain active. Chappell enjoys Scrabble and looks forward to playing with her friend several times a week. She also plays Sudoku. </li> <li>Take supplements where needed. "I take fish oil and calcium capsules daily and sometimes I’ll have a spoonful of molasses or cod liver oil if I'm feeling under the weather."</li> </ul> <p><em>Written by Laura Baker.

The incredible story behind a 95-year-old’s age-defying brain

<p>Olga Kotelko wasn’t your ordinary 95-year-old. Having begun competitive athletics at 77, Kotelko was still winning international events in the years before her death in 2014. Throughout her career, she won more than 750 gold medals. So, what was her secret?</p> <p>Aga Burzynska, a US neuroscientist, was fascinated by Kotelko’s story. Studies conducted on the nonagenarian at the age of 93 showed a remarkably youthful looking brain which could perform remarkably youthful mental tasks. "Looking at the structure of her brain, I would not have been able to say she was 93. I would have placed her in her 60s,” Burzynska told <a href="http://www.prevention.com/mind-body/ageless-brain-of-olga-kotelko" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Prevention</strong></span></a>.</p> <p>Kotelko grew up working on her Ukrainian immigrant parents’ farm in Canada with 10 siblings before becoming a school teacher. Researchers believe the reason Kotelko’s brain was so healthy at such a late age was not only due to her love of exercise, but the fact that she was continuously setting herself challenges and never stopped learning new things.</p> <p>Barb Vida, Kotelko’s personal trainer whom she credits in her memoir for her athletic success, offers some advice to over 60s wanting to take on a new physical challenge:</p> <ol> <li><strong>Don’t overdo it</strong> – Vida says she slowly built up Kotelko’s strength, balance and coordination with aqua aerobics before moving into more vigorous exercises.</li> <li><strong>Relax</strong> – Vida recommends yoga as a great way to release any physical or mental tension. "If you are able to calm your mind, you'll be able to relax and stretch your muscles further."</li> <li><strong>Do your research</strong> – Before taking on the world of athletics, Kotelko watched competitions and read up on activities such as discus and javelin.</li> </ol> <p><em>Image: Patrik Giardino</em></p> <p><strong>Related links:</strong></p> <p><a href="/lifestyle/retirement-life/2016/03/woman-who-lives-off-fish-and-chips-turns-102/"><em><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Woman who lives off fish and chips turns 102</span></strong></em></a></p> <p><a href="/lifestyle/retirement-life/2016/03/grandmother-lifts-100kg/"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">78-year-old grandmother lifts weights like a pro athlete</span></strong></a></p> <p><strong><em><a href="/health/body/2016/03/fitness-tips-from-75-year-old-tennis-champions/"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Fitness inspiration from a 75-year-old tennis champion</span></a></em></strong></p>
