Jokes The teacher, during an English lesson, asked her students: "Now tell me, what do you call a person who keeps on talking when people are no longer interested?"

Little Johnny, in the back row, raised his hand.

"Yes, Johnny," said the teacher "A teacher!"

A man visits his aunt in the nursing home. It turns out that she is taking a nap, so he just sits down in a chair in her room, flips through a few magazines, and

munches on some peanuts sitting in a bowl on the table.

Eventually, the aunt wakes up, and her nephew realizes he's absentmindedly finished the entire bowl. "I'm so sorry, auntie, I've eaten all of your peanuts!"

"That's okay, dearie," the aunt replied.

"After I've sucked the chocolate off, I don't care for them anyway."

If you are considering starting or expanding a small business, the County Enterprise Board funded by the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment should be your starting point. The Tipperary North County Enterprise Board launched a revised suite of financial supports in November 2009. These new financial supports replace the Capital, Employment and Feasibility Grants which were proffered by the County & City Enterprise Boards over a sixteen year period. The new scheme of aid includes Feasibility/Innovation, Priming and Business Expansion Grants. The Board also offers the support of Mentors, Advisers and Specialist Consultants at just 10% of their cost to individuals thinking of starting or expanding a business or indeed those with serious business issues or concerns.

Applications for Priming Grants may be made by sole traders, partnerships, community or limited companies within the first eighteen months of setting up the business and Business Expansion Grants may be awarded to businesses that are in existence more than 18 months. The criteria under which funding is available from the Board is based on factors such as the sector of the economy in which an enterprise is operating or intends to operate and the proposed size of the enterprise. The Board can assist in the establishment, and/or development, of new and existing enterprises provided that the business is in the commercial sphere; there is evidence that a market exists for the product/service; the project has the capacity for growth and new job creation and the enterprise will employ no more than 10 staff. (The needs of qualifying firms with greater job creation expectations may be dealt with by Enterprise Ireland.) Along with the above eligibility criteria there are certain priorities and restrictions imposed such as:- priority must be given to enterprises in the manufacturing or internationally traded services sector which over time can develop into strong export entities and graduate to the Enterprise Ireland portfolio; tourism enterprises aimed predominantly at overseas visitors; local services promoted by the unemployed, those recently made redundant and women re-entering the workforce. Local services promoted by the unemployed or women trying to re-enter the workforce may be aided provided that those enterprises do not give rise to deadweight or displacement.

Boards are in a position to offer a maximum Priming or Business Development Grant of 50% of the investment or €150,000 whichever is the

lesser. However, it is expected that grants over €80,000 and up to €150,000 will be the exception and will only apply in the case of projects that clearly demonstrate a potential to graduate to Enterprise Ireland and/or to export internationally. The maximum Feasibility / Innovation Grant payable will be 50% of the investment or €20,000 which represents a significant increase on the old scheme where a maximum grant of €5,100 applied.

Speaking to the press about the new financial instruments, Rita Guinan, CEO with the Tipperary North CEB stated that the new grants could not have come at a better time. The grants are extremely flexible and will allow the Board to support all business start up costs. The increased grant levels means that the Board can now offer greater incentives to new and existing entrepreneurs and should also help to encourage the unemployed and those recently made redundant to consider business start up and self employment as a real alternative. The grants may be paid in addition to the Back to Work Allowance or Enterprise Start in the case of qualifying applicants” Ms Guinan said.

The Tipperary North County Enterprise Board is also running a series of training programmes over the coming months and owners/managers seeking to improve the performance of their business are now invited to consider participating in the workshops/programmes listed below.

Early booking is advised as numbers are strictly limited and places are allocated on a first-come first-served basis.

Start Your Own Business (FETAC Accredited). This programme will be of interest to new start-ups or those considering setting up their own business.

The course runs one night per week over 10 weeks. On completion participants will know how to write a business plan, have learned about the legal structures available to set up a business, identified what market research is about and have learned about pricing, costing and budgeting. A participant fee of €60 will apply and fee exemptions may apply to the unemployed.

Management Development Programme is aimed at existing firms, and will involve a mix of 25 group training workshops and one-to-one on-site trouble shooting visits. An information breakfast event will take place in the Abbey Court Hotel on Wednesday 3rd March and the actual programme will start on Wednesday, 24 March and will run weekly over a three month period in Nenagh.

This is a very practical course and trainees will work on Excel for most of the day producing proper books of account, VAT returns and financial reports.

A Financial Management programme will be delivered over 3 x 3 hour sessions and will cover topics such as Break-even: Operating & Cash-flow; Structure and Interrelationship of Financial Statements – the Balance Sheet, Profit & Loss & Cash Flow Statement; Balance Sheet; Income Statement; Profit v’s Cash Flow; Critical Performance Factors; Business Planning; Annual Budget; Funding; Costing & Pricing etc.

Nenagh Eire Og Camogie Notes The club would like to extend our congratulations to St Marys Senior Camogie team who won the senior A league against a very strong Urseline Convent team from Thurles in the Ragg on Sunday. The final score was 3-10 to 1-5 with Nenagh down a point at half time they dug deep in a very physical game and held the opposition scoreless in the second half. Nenagh Eire Og were well represented by Ciara McGrath Mary Dillon Gemma Morris and Aileen Duggan. Special thanks must go to the “bannisteoir” Gerry Dullea who has led many teams to many successes in the past and is personally responsible for the nurturing of Camogie in North Tipperary over the last decade or so. With Camogie and Hurling so strong in our schools we must remember the extra time and effort being put in by our school teachers.

The season has begun and the teams are beginning their training regimes under new management teams. Bear in mind the training times and days

When we do two things at once, are we being more efficient or wasting time?

It’s a well documented fact (myth) that women make great multi-taskers. Or is it that women have trained themselves to juggle activities, and only really prioritise when necessary? (I must take the children to school before I can start writing up that report that was due yesterday). It doesn’t necessarily mean that they are great multi-taskers. Women pride themselves in jobs well done, but switching from activities and back again realistically involves extra time, as well as a cognitive changeover from one task to another: changing from task one to task two and back to task one – then on to task 3, back to task two, a little on task one and over to task 2 again. It takes greater concentration and more time to finish the three tasks in this fashion, rather than completing them one at a time.

A study in the Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance (Vol. 27, No. 4) suggests that multitasking may actually be less efficient (especially for complicated or unfamiliar tasks) because it takes extra time to shift mental gears every time a person switches between the two tasks.

“Accessing the rules for the new task and activating them can take several tenths of a second, a significant amount of time for some tasks. For example, a mere half-second lost to task switching can be disastrous for a driver using a cell phone while maneuvering on a busy BE THE BIGGEST LOSER freeway”, says Meyer. “Those lost seconds can also build up Community Weight Loss for air traffic controllers, pilots Challenge and office workers surfing the Weekly prizes, fun, friendships Web while writing a report.”

University of California, Berkeley, and colleagues. That study found that, under special circumstances, people can do two different tasks at once without much interference, particularly if the tasks are wellpracticed and do not physically conflict with each other.

There is another element to multi-tasking that involves doing two tasks simultaneously – speaking on the phone while watching tv (can you do both equally well?) Speaking on the phone while driving (can you concentrate on both equally?).

This is different from constantly switching tasks.

Some multitasking is very achievable – texting while waiting for a train to arrive, for instance, or reading the newspaper on the train. Using this “wasted time” waiting is a perfect opportunity to get things done, but it’s not strictly multitasking as the waiting or travelling is passive, and the texting / reading is active. Both activities are done simultaneously.

Another aspect of “multitasking” is distraction. We choose to be distracted from activities.

Working from my office at home, I must be vigilant about staying away from domestic tasks during office hours. I must constantly motivate myself to follow through with my goals, and not be constantly distracted by email, twitter, blog-posts, great articles that I MUST read etc etc. It’s a constant battle! Throw in a bad hair day or some good old procrastination, and it can make a day very tedious indeed.

So next time you find yourself doing 3 different things: Are you multi-tasking (doing more than one thing simultaneously) juggling (flitting from task 1 to 3 to 2 to 1 again) procrastinating (doing ANYTHING else other than what you should be doing) Simply easily distracted (something catches your eye and you just HAVE to check it out)

Parenthood -- If it was going to be easy, it never would have started with something called labour!

-- Shouting to make your children obey is like using the horn to steer your car, and you get about the same results.

-- The smartest advice on raising children is to enjoy them while they are still on your side.

-- Avenge yourself -- live long enough to be a problem to your children.

-- The best way to keep kids at home is to give it a loving atmosphere ~~ and hide the keys to the car.

-- Parents: People who bare infants, bore teenagers, and board newlyweds.

-- The joy of motherhood: What a woman experiences when all the children are finally in bed.

-- Life's golden age is when the kids are too old to need babysitters and too young to borrow the family car.

-- Any child can tell you that the sole purpose of a middle name is so he can tell when he's really in trouble.

-- Grandparents are similar to a piece of string ~ handy to have around and easily wrapped around the fingers of grandchildren.

-- There are three ways to get something done: Do it yourself, hire someone to do it, or forbid your children to do it.

-- Adolescence is the age when children try to bring up their parents.

-- Cleaning your house while your kids are at home is like trying to shovel the driveway during a snowstorm.

-- Oh, to be only half as wonderful as my child thought I was when he was small, and half as stupid as my teenager now thinks I am.

-- Adolescence is the age at which children stop asking questions because they know all the answers.

-- An alarm clock is a device for awakening people who don't have small children.

President Miceal Curley welcomed all the areas to the function and congratulated all the winners. He praised them for their efforts in keeping the spirit of HSE Community Games alive. He was delighted with the number of people attending and welcomed the special guests, including Deputy Noel Treacy TD, Mayor of Ballinasloe Mr. John Walsh and his wife, Mary. The Area Awards are one of the highlights for volunteers on the HSE Community Games calendar. Speaking at the awards, Deputy Noel Treacy TD spoke of the importance of organisations such as HSE Community Games in promoting physical activity and community spirit in times like these.

Carmel Greally congratulated all the winners of the area, volunteer and youth awards and urged all volunteers to continue the good work in their respective areas and Counties. She paid tribute to the HSE for their continued support of Community Games and stressed the importance of a partnership like Community Games and the HSE. As part of the overall ceremony, thirty areas, twenty eight volunteers and twenty four youth volunteers were presented with prizes for their excellent work in HSE Community Games.

St. Flannan’s from Moneygall were the Co. Tipperary Area Award winners.

They beat off stiff competition from areas such as /Lisronagh, Nenagh and Ballingarry to win this prestigious award. In attendance at the award ceremony from St. Flannan’s was Chairperson Willie Jones and his wife Teresa along with County Chairman Seamus Hogan and his wife Joan Hogan who is County Assistant Secretary. Also attending on behalf of the County Board was County Secretary Kitty England and her husband Mick England from Roscrea. Willie was presented with the Area Award on the night by National Director Pauline Martin-O’Rourke also from Roscrea.

The winning of this award is a massive achievement especially from such a small area as St. Flannan’s. This achievement was made possible by the wonderful work of the dedicated committee of Willie, Geraldine, Bríd, Seamus, Joan, June, Josie, Una, Collista

and Deirdre. Past members who have also contributed to the groundwork in St. Flannan’s are Jimmy Treacy, Paddy & Sarah Byrne, Ann Jones, Alice Bergin, Pat Kirwan and numerous other volunteers who have given their time so freely to Community Games. Also in 2009 three St. Flannan’s men held pivotal positions during the Munster Games, Seamus Hogan was the Munster Games Director, Willie Jones coordinated the Girls Soccer with Fabien Jones co-ordinated the Boys U-11 Hurling. They were ably assisted by June Whelan who refereed Munster Tag Rugby, Joan Hogan Assistant Games Director and Carol Hogan was the Munster Trophy Co-ordinator. For such a small area as St. Flannan’s to hold six key posts within last year’s Munster Community Games Finals is an indication of the commitment and dedication of the volunteers from Moneygall. County Chairman Seamus Hogan was an extremely proud man on the night when he justifiably expressed his delight in his own Area for winning this very significant award.

Also on the night Peggy Colville from Fethard received a Volunteer Recognition Award. Peggy has served on the County Committee for over 20 years, during which time she has held many responsible positions and has represented Tipperary at National level. She is one of the unsung heroines of County Tipperary Community Games with all the work she carries out in promoting the organisation. Peggy is always readily available to everyone and anyone and regularly provides sage guidance in relation to many issues. Her hard work came to fruition in 2008 when she wrote a book entitled “County Tipperary Community Games – A History”.

She had spent a considerable length of time researching this book which is available for purchase from any committee member for a sum of 10euro.

Abuse of children One of the most common and most harmful effects of abuse is dissociation, which is not easy to explain. The child is unable to bear the emotional impact of abuse. The normal reaction to danger is to fight or to take flight. A child cannot do this, and so they freeze their feelings, and shut out the unbearable reality of the pain.

This means that they dissociate the pain and freeze it in time. Children split off part of themselves to hold the trauma of abuse. These children have split identities, and if the abuse continues the identity which holds the trauma may become more prominent, and so causes many problems for the child when they become adults. Their real self (the self that existed from the time they were born until the abuse began) may be hidden.

Only after extensive therapy will this real self emerge again, and it can be distressing during the time of exploration.

Such children may also have worries that the abuse might happen again (and research shows that such children are at risk of being abused again), and a strong feeling of guilt that they did something wrong. They also suffer long term effects such as running away from home, becoming drug and alcohol abusers and all the consequences of that. We need only look at the histories of many prisoners to see the results of child abuse.

Bullying is another form of abuse. It may combine physical, psychological and verbal abuse, and it may involve one child bullying another, a group of children against a single child, or groups against other groups. It is cruel, and involves a lack of compassion, and a lack of concern of how the victim feels. As in adult abuse it has to do with power and control, and with the victim being blamed for the abuser’s behaviour. It can lead to suicide.

Most schools now have anti-bullying policies, and try to make being part of the

school community an inclusive and positive experience. When I was a school Principal my colleagues and I drew up an anti-bullying policy, and I had to intervene in many bullying episodes involving both boys and girls. It always took much longer to sort out bullying by females. They tended to bring victims’ families into the conflict by making insulting statements about family members, and especially about their mothers.

Teachers, too, can bully children. We had great power, and not so long ago did not hesitate to use it. It is perhaps ironic, but equally sad, that nowadays some pupils bully teachers, and cause them much misery. There is only one outcome from being abused - misery.

Bullying of children can take many forms such as name calling, using nicknames, being picked upon, being excluded (a frequent form of abuse among girls), being told that they are too fat, too thin, stupid, and so on. Very often those children who inflict pain upon others are themselves the victim of abuse and of dysfunctional families. The victims sometimes have particular characteristics.

They may have low self-esteem, be insecure, lack social skills, become easily upset, appear powerless, have some physical defect.
