Fishermen's Indulgence The little island of Sri Lanka seems to be an unlikely place to be home to the world's most expensive dessert. Sri Lankans who are used to leading simple and modest lifestyles, do not place much importance on such matters which they consider trivial. However, unlikely as it seems, this tiny country has done exactly that - given birth to what is thought to be the world's most expensive dessert. Priced at a whopping $14,500, this first-class delicacy is perfect for those who crave the thrill and satisfaction that an ordinary dessert simply cannot deliver. A delicate, mouth-watering treat, the dessert is a gold leaf Italian cassata, flavoured with Irish cream infused with tender fruit. Apart from the obvious attractions, the legendary charms of the Aquamarine stone also adds an element of mystery to the dessert. Created to give visitors to The Fortress a one-of-a-kind experience, the dessert has earned itself and The Fortress a marked reputation around the world.

Maslow used the terms "physiological", "safety", "belongingness" and "love", "esteem", "self-actualization", and "self-transcendence" to describe the pattern that human motivations generally move through. Maslow's theory was fully expressed in his 1954 book Motivation and Personality.[5] The hierarchy remains a very popular framework in sociology research, management training[6] and secondary and higher psychology instruction.
