Carlow women mean business

W

HEN it comes to business, women are no longer taking a back seat. They’re taking control and brimming with confidence.

A recent Forbes list of the world’s top business people included German Chancellor Angela Merkel; Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook’s chief operating

officer; Christine Lagarde, the managing director of the International Monetary Fund; and PepsiCo’s chief executive Indra Nooyi.

And with so many great global role models to choose from, it seems the women of Carlow have become inspired.

More women than ever are at the

helm of our local businesses, running restaurants, shops, salons and unique companies. These business-savvy women are using their valuable skills to help Kilkenny companies thrive.

Recent studies have shown that when it comes to business, female leaders are better communicators, more efficient,

more patient and better at building relationships. And they already know how to succeed against the odds.

It is gratifying to see more women coming to the fore, on both a globe and local scale. Read on to discover some of the inspirational businesswomen who have made their mark on Carlow.

During the Cold War, the Soviet Union captures U.S. pilot Francis Gary Powers after shooting down his U-2 spy plane.

Sentenced to 10 years in prison, Powersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; only hope is New York lawyer James Donovan (Tom Hanks), recruited by a CIA operative to negotiate his release.

Donovan boards a plane to Berlin, hoping to win the young manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s freedom through a prisoner exchange. If all goes well, the Russians would get Rudolf Abel (Mark Rylance), the convicted spy who Donovan defended in court.

Album of the week

Are you serious?

by Andrew Bird Having had an intense few years, Andrew Bird has produced a record that tackles that intensity with respectful humour and jest, tackling themes such as his wifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s illness on â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Pumaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She was radioactive for seven days / how I wanted to be holding her anyway,â&#x20AC;? he croons over soaring strings and jangly guitar lines, all the while retaining a sing-along sensibility thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at once gorgeous and cathartic. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a testament to Birdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability as a songwriter that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s able to articulate whatever life throws at him head-on, and our enjoyment is all the better for it.

Game of the week

Quantum Break (Xbox One) In the aftermath of a split second of destruction that fractures time, two people find they have gained extraordinary abilities. One of them travels through time and becomes hell-bent on controlling this power. The other uses these new abilities to attempt to defeat him â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and fix time before it tears itself apart. Featuring a stellar cast, including Shawn Ashmore, Aidan Gillen and Dominic Monaghan, Quantum Break is full of vivid storytelling, rich characters and dramatic twists. Your choices affect the outcome of this fusion between game and show.

Movie of the week

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been nearly two years since Supermanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (Henry Cavill) colossal battle with Zod (Michael Shannon) devastated the city of Metropolis. The loss of life and collateral damage left many feeling angry and helpless, including crime-fighting billionaire Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck). Convinced that Superman is now a threat to humanity, Batman embarks on a personal vendetta to end his reign on Earth, while Lex Luthor (Jesse Eisenberg) launches his own crusade against the Man of Steel.

App of the week

Moranifesto by Caitlin Moran

Twilight

This is Caitlinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s engaging and amusing rallying call for our times. Combining the best of her recent columns with lots of new writing unique to this book, Caitlin deals with topics as pressing and diverse as 1980s swearing, benefits, boarding schools, and why the internet is like a drunken toddler. And whilst never afraid to address the big issues of the day â&#x20AC;&#x201C; such as Benedict Cumberbatch and duffel coats â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Caitlin also makes a passionate effort to understand our 21st century society and make it a better place.

Using smartphones late at night can have a real impact on your sleep, with the blue hue your phone outputs keeping you awake long after you switch off. Twilight solves this, by adapting the display colours to the time of day, filtering the blue light after sunset and helping you get to sleep. Once youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve downloaded the app and set it up it simply runs in the background, so you can forget all about it and the change in screen colour isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as jarring as you might expect. But there are also tools to adjust the intensity, colour temperature and brightness.

1916 Carlow County Final Re

The Power of Prayer - Fr Dunphy leads his 'angelic' parishioners in a pre-match prayer, though one or two dissenters expressed the opinion `"we want to bate 'em fair Father!'

Laughter cascading down from the stand, A memory to savour, a sound so grand Players smiling, having fun What an atmosphere, well done everyone

Ar an t-alamh, or suas san speir The battle was fought everywhere!

Health and safety ordained helmets must be worn Just as well, or some hair could have been shorn!

“Photos aside, if you could bottle the wonderful atmosphere in our County Grounds on Saturday it would be be a guaranteed elixir of life!” – Leo McGough Oh ye doubting Thomas’ and Thomasina’s! (And for the heathen’s among you that was last Sunday’s Gospel!) Ye may have heard of Bishop Nulty throwing the ball in high at the start of the hurling and doubted the veracity of the story. Here’s the pictorial proof …

“I might point her from here!”

Many thanks to Pat Ahern, Paul Dargan and Turlough O’Brien for use of their fantastic photographs which captured the magic of a great occasion

Graigue umpire Tom 'Chops' Scully, known to have guarded the net in his day, does his bit for his club's cause by making sure the sliotar crossed the line! Mind you having already raised the white flag when the ball appeared to have gone wide and the green flag when it seemed to have gone over the bar something as trifling as whether the ball was over the line or not was hardly going to make a difference! However, 'Chops' claims his actions were in the interests of fair play!

-enactment Pictorial Special Tinryland and Tullow parade beneath a cloudy sky

Jacko on the run

“I heard your grandfather robbed us blind in the 1916 final. I mean pleased to meet you Missus!”

Tullow strike for an early goal

John’s brainchild a fantastic success

Not so much backs to the wall as Wall with her back turned!

Liz Wall, granddaughter of 1916 Co final referee Edward Wall follows in his footsteps by throwing in the ball of the 2016 re-enactment.

Heads up football

IT WAS John Brophy's idea to stage the 1916 County final re-enactments, it was John Brophy who expertly chaired the organising committee and who along with committee secretary Ronan Dempsey did a magnificent job in leading by delegation.

They say if you want something done ask a busy man, John Brophy is a busy man, a very busy man but the Fairgreen Shopping Centre manager (sponsors of Carlow Coiste na nOg), the Eire Og clubman, the Club Ceatharlach (Carlow Supporters Club) Chairman) not only steered the GAA 1916 committee but was deeply involved in the Dublin Street 'Carlow Remembers' project as well.

Take a bow John, you saw your brainchild through to fantastic fruition.
