All air, light and graces at sophisticated €420k Altus apartment in Sunday's Well
ALTUS apartments have lost none of their lustre in the 15-plus years since completion, testament to a design well ahead of its time. Delivered in the rocky aftermath of the Celtic Tiger's collapse, the owner/occupier designed units in Sunday's Well ended up as rentals — albeit generating top-tier rents (€2,300 a month for a two-bed on Trading Places), mainly as corporate lets. In 2019, the process of selling them off individually finally got underway and the momentum has been unrelenting. Almost the entire 30 have sold in the past six years, with No 29 selling twice: in 2020 for €325,000 and a year-and-a-half later for €430,000. No 30, featured here, is also on its second market outing, having sold in 2022 for €400,000, and guiding now at €420,000. Open plan living at No 30, Altus Design excellence is the hallmark of Altus. Ingenius use of a half-acre site with a steep cliff backdrop by developer Eddie O'Mahony of Cumnor Construction in partnership with Brazilian architect Haroldo Oliveira of Jack Coughlan Architects delivered a succession of units that face south —hence light-filled interiors —and have city-scanning views. All have own-door access, and private external spaces, with balconies or terraces. The balcony at No 30 No 30, a two-bed, has a balcony, accessed via sliding doors off the open-plan kitchen/dining/living area on the first floor, with views towards St FinBarre's Cathedral. Internal fit-out is as polished as the exteriors, with sanitary ware from Italian company Gessi and sleek kitchens by Clohane Joinery. Ann O'Mahony of Sherry FitzGerald is the agent. 'It's a cracking property, so we are seeing good interest from owner/occupiers, investors and relocators,' she says. Location, by the lower section of Wyse's Hill is a winner: it's a downhill stroll to the city centre, to UCC's campus and to the Mercy Hospital. VERDICT: Pinnacle of city apartment living.

Review: Canadian brand Cozey launches modular sofa bed
Could the Cozey Neptune Sofa-Bed be filling a gap in the Canadian marketplace? It's definitely filling a small corner in my spare bedroom. I've found it particularly challenging to find a sofa bed that can fit in my spare bedroom, as it's a very small space. The Neptune is a modular sofa bed, so you can order a configuration that accommodates your needs. Cozey is known for its modular sofas (we've tried quite a few of the brand's products, from its original modular sofa called the Altus , to the plusher Ciello sofa and the new outdoor dining set ). The Montreal-based brand continues to expand to create pieces that can conform and complement spaces of different uses, sizes and styles. I was excited when Cozey launched the Neptune because I wanted my small room to be multipurpose, but couldn't find a sofa bed that would fit. I ended up getting a two-seater sofa with two ottomans so I can turn the love-seat-size sofa into a full bed. Start your day with a roundup of B.C.-focused news and opinion.

Overall, I'm thrilled that I found a sofa bed to fit my limited space and would recommend it for others looking to do the same. Read below for my full review. What: Neptune Sofa-Bed Collection Price: $2,205 for a two-seater with two ottomans ( optional sleep kit add-on , $390) Where to buy: Cozey The Neptune is unlike any other sofa bed I've tried. Traditionally, a sofa bed is a couch with a heavy, springy mattress folded beneath the seats. The Neptune is a completely different mechanism. The conversion of sofa-to-bed and vice versa may take longer than the traditional style, but it's not arduous and awkward to pull out and fit in. It's a smoother, lighter experience. The Neptune can be purchased in various configurations, so it can accommodate different-sized and shaped spaces. It has a medium firmness, both as a sofa and a bed. It's comfortable as a sofa and more comfortable than most traditional sofa beds, but it's ideal for a short-term sleeping solution. I've ordered many pieces from Cozey, and the delivery is always seamless; the Neptune was no exception. The Neptune comes in boxes, one per seat plus the arms (and one box per ottoman). Each piece is wrapped in a material to ensure it arrives in good shape. Assemble this sofa with two people — I usually assemble alone, but it's just so much easier with a second set of hands. You don't need any tools, just some twists, turns and slides. Twisting in the legs is as easy as it gets, sliding the backs and arms takes a few tries. It took me approximately an hour to assemble, from start to finish, complete with the unboxing. Check out Cozey's assembly video . It's a medium-to-firm sofa that has clean lines and good support. If you're looking for a cozy couch, consider adding fluffy pillows and throws to enhance the softness. I selected the sofa in 'leaf,' which is a muted green and made from Cozey's performance fabric. This upholstery is durable, easy to clean and stain-resistant. It strikes a good balance between comfort and durability, but it's not as soft as some of the brand's other fabrics, such as chenille or corduroy. In terms of a sofa bed, it's great. The bed is made from the sofa pillows laid out flat, and there's the option to add on the sleep kit — so no uncomfortable springs digging into your body. However, even with the sleep kit, you can feel a bit of the grooves between the pillows. It's more than adequate for a bonus bed to host visitors. As mentioned, the space for this sofa is small, so transforming it from couch to bed and vice versa requires light gymnastics. It's totally a space issue and not a sofa issue, it's simple to transform and even easier if you have a decent amount of room. Modularity: My problem is space. The Neptune's modularity solves that. I'm thrilled that I finally found a sofa bed that can work in a spare bedroom that's really a 'plus den.' When ordering the sofa, I debated whether to get one or two seats and ottomans. I ended up getting two of each, so I have the option to have a double bed versus a single bed. I'm not fully convinced that the double fits the space (sans gymnastics), so I may go down to a single and put the second seat and ottoman in a different room — which is no problem, because of the Neptune's modularity. Storage: My problem is space. The Neptune's storage compartments, located under the seat (a bit difficult to get your stuff in and out because of how the seat pulls forward) and the ottoman (this is 10/10 storage). I like that a sleep kit is available to specifically fit the Neptune and the size I selected. However, I don't need pillows and linens, I just want the mattress pad. I'd prefer if I could order the sleep kit a la carte. Now, I have too many extra pillows. I'll likely give them away as they are currently nestled in the precious storage areas of the ottomans. That being said, I do find it easy to unpack and pack the sleep kit into their bags. It's not like a sleeping bag experience, where it's a full-body workout to get the bag back into the stuff sack. The Neptune sofa bed is a good solution to my space problems. I recommend the Neptune to people who want to have a spare bed. It's simple to convert and useful as storage. If you don't need the full sleep kit (with the mattress pad, pillow and linens), you may want to order a separate sleeping pad from somewhere else , but ensure you measure your sofa bed configuration carefully and order the correct size.

Military Matters: A Birdseye View of Altus AFB
ALTUS (KFDX/KJTL) — From an outsider's perspective, one might expect to see smaller planes like fighter jets at an air force base. That's not always the case. Altus Air Force Base is a bit different, housing planes that are slightly larger than fighter jets. One of which is the C-17, piloted by Lt. Col. J.D. Shaw. 'Altus's mission is to train pilots and loadmasters how to operate this airplane so they can go out to their base, whether it be Charleston, McChord, Dover, McGuire and then employ this airplane around the world,' Shaw said. Altus Air Force Base specializes in air mobility. All three planes they train, the KC-135, KC-46, and C-17, accomplish this through their unique missions. The C-17 is most specialized toward cargo delivery, according to Loadmaster trainer, Sr. Master Sgt. Kris Mack. 'We're more concerned with the cargo compartment as far as loading cargo, and you have to be prepared,' Mack said. 'It could be a tank in there, it could be a palette, it could be something quite easy. It could be humanitarian aid. It could be, you know, things that take a little bit more concentration as far as the restraint.' Another aspect of air mobility is ensuring that planes can travel from point A to point B, regardless of the distance. Lt. Col. Broderick Lockett trains crews to refuel planes in midair with the KC-135. 'You know, think you're going 400 miles an hour down the highway and actually reaching out with another car and holding on to each other, and you know, shaking hands,' Lockett said. 'That's what we do. Except at 26,000 feet, you know, going up to 600 miles an hour.' Not all air refueling looks or works the same. Altus Air Force Base also has one of the more advanced aircraft designed for mid-air refueling, the KC-46 Pegasus, which can both give and receive fuel. A unique trait that Lt. Col. Scott Heinlein believes makes it a vital tool in any situation the aircraft is in. 'Instead of having to fly all the way back to our base, get gas again, we can find another tanker that has already taken off from that base, take that fuel in the air so that it extends that range even closer,' Heinlein said. 'So, the net result is we get our receivers closer to the fight, making them more effective in combat.' At the center of it all, for the base, though, is the relationship it has with the city of Altus. Lt. Col. Shaw says he's been more involved with the surrounding community at Altus than at any other base he's ever been to. 'The city is super welcoming,' Shaw said. 'I think they recognize the value that Altus brings to the city. And so, it is a true relationship that one could not survive without the other.' Both city and base, dedicated to the same mission for over 80 years. Keeping America's Air Force mobile and strong. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Lam Research Corporation (LRCX): A Bull Case Theory
We came across a bullish thesis on Lam Research Corporation (LRCX) on Substack by The Antifragile Investor. In this article, we will summarize the bulls' thesis on LRCX. Lam Research Corporation (LRCX)'s share was trading at $82.79 as of 21st May. LRCX's trailing and forward P/E were 23.06 and 19.01 respectively according to Yahoo Finance. An aerial view of a semiconductor factory, with its intricate machinery and equipment. Lam Research has emerged as an indispensable player in the semiconductor ecosystem, quietly powering the atomic-level processes—etching, deposition, and cleaning—that enable the most advanced chips in the world. These tools are not interchangeable; they are engineered for ultra-precise tasks that, once integrated into fabs, become irreplaceable due to high switching costs and time-to-yield sensitivities. With platforms like Kiyo, Altus, and DV-Prime supporting logic, memory, and 3D NAND production, Lam's tools are deeply embedded across global chipmakers including TSMC, Samsung, and Micron. More than just a hardware supplier, Lam has transformed into a high-margin service powerhouse. Services like parts, upgrades, and productivity solutions now account for over 40% of revenue and carry significantly higher margins, lifting gross profit to an impressive 47.3% despite broader industry headwinds. These recurring revenues expand naturally as the installed base grows, creating a self-reinforcing flywheel. The company's dominance is further cemented by a fortress of moats: thousands of patents, heavy R&D investment ($1.9B in 2023), a vast global support network, and near-impossible switching costs. Even geopolitical risks underscore Lam's value, as 42% of sales now come from China—despite export controls—highlighting just how essential its tools are to domestic fabs. Beyond the technology, Lam thrives because every leap in chip complexity demands more tools per wafer, ensuring its relevance grows with every innovation wave from AI to cloud computing. Investors often overlook Lam's embedded software, service flywheel, and strategic positioning—but those who understand its quiet control over semiconductor manufacturing see a company compounding strength in the background of the digital world. Lam Research Corporation (LRCX) is not on our list of the 30 Most Popular Stocks Among Hedge Funds. As per our database, 84 hedge fund portfolios held LRCX at the end of the fourth quarter which was 58 in the previous quarter. While we acknowledge the risk and potential of LRCX as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns, and doing so within a shorter timeframe. If you are looking for an AI stock that is more promising than LRCX but that trades at less than 5 times its earnings, check out our report about the cheapest AI stock.
