Scrooge Stanley wields jobs axe WATERFORD Stanley workers got the worst possible Christmas message this week: almost half their jobs are to go.

The company, which manufactures stoves and other cooking equipment, is looking for 41 voluntary redundancies from its staff of about 100.

The company has been in Waterford since 1936. It was bought by Aga in 2005 and sold last September to the Middleby Corporation from Illinois.

Management has been been reviewing the business and, in a move worthy of Mr Scrooge, chose the week before Christmas to announce that it has “identified potential structural changes necessary to build on the company’s present strengths and create a firm foundation for growth in the future.”

“The review has now been completed and it is clear that a number of changes will have to be made,” it said in a statement.

“Regrettably, there will be reductions to the workforce, which are expected to affect all areas of the business.”

The company will enter into a formal 30-day consultation period with employees and their representatives to finalise the details of the cuts being sought.

Book of the week

7

Album of the week

Neil Young: Live as the Cellar Door Limited 180-gram vinyl LP pressing. Escaping from the vaults of singer/songwriter Neil Young, “Live at the Cellar Door” features the artist at his prime in 1970. The album is the latest in Young’s ongoing Archives Performance Series, and it collects recordings made during the Canadian singer/songwriter’s intimate six-show solo stand at The Cellar Door, a venue in Washington DC, between November 30th and December 2nd, 1970. Since the gigs were only a few months after his album, “After The Gold Rush,” was released, five of the thirteen tracks here are from that record.

8

DVD of the week

The Man from U.N.C.L.E Guy Ritchie directs and co-writes this action comedy based on the 1960s TV series and starring Henry Cavill and Armie Hammer. Set in 1963, the story follows two agents, Napoleon Solo (Cavill) of the CIA and Illya Kuryakin (Hammer) of the KGB, who, much to their chagrin, are made to join forces and work together on a mission to bring down a mysterious criminal organisation that is intent on multiplying the number of nuclear weapons. Will the pair succeed?

The cast also includes Alicia Vikander, Elizabeth Debicki, Jared Harris and Hugh Grant.

9

App of the week

PNP Portable North Pole (iPad) Keeping your kids excited about the prospect of Christmas and Santa in the age of the internet might be a little bit tricky, but the digital age comes with some advantages - namely the chance to get Santa to send a personalised video message (and phone call) to your younglings.

The app is divided into two sections, the kids corner where they can play around, and the parents corner where all the magic happens. Obviously the parents corner is passcode protected as to not spoil everything.

Hilary is four, not yet five, and she has a mother and a father and an older brother and sisters. She even has a name at home - Billy - that is different from her written-down name. But now that she is in Low Babies in the local convent school, it seems Hilary has something else called responsibilities. The world is a changing place. Hilary’s parents, themselves products of a country bathed in sanctifying grace, and presided over by leather-strapped Christian Brothers, wimpled nuns, and a strictly ingrained moral code, start to question their own life choices...

One of cinema’s truly legendary franchises finally returns with the eagerly-awaited ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’, which sees a new generation of heroes fighting for the freedom of the galaxy.

We return to George Lucas’ beloved universe to find it dramatically changed, and a new enemy has risen from the Empire’s ashes. Fresh faces Rey, Finn and Poe Dameron must unite with old warriors Luke, Han and Leia. The Dark Side has awoken. But so has the Light.

May the Force be with you.

It should suit you to network. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re dissatisfied with working conditions (and may have been for some time), reconnecting with others working in adjacent fields is likely worth the effort especially toward the end of the week (though you most likely to need to start organising that from Monday). Anticipate that your efficiency will be questioned (yes, again!) on Monday. At one level you might not mind explaining things in detail to someone new to the scene.

Your ethics may be challenged. Another possibility is that communications with those who live at some distance demand that you offer an explanation for your plans. At some level you might even feel the need to be defensive about arrangements already in place for early 2016. You might feel the need to explain these - at length - to someone who doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem entirely respectful of your obligations.

As with most people, you appreciate straight talking. Yet not for the first time you might wonder if something is being deliberately over or under-valued. Getting to the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;truthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; of this situation and why someone thinks as they do could yet prove quite a challenge. Midst all this, someone whom you know to be perfectly capable could intimate (and again, not for the first time) that they are unhappy with conditions Perhaps more than any other sign you understand that â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;need to feel the fear and do it anywayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. What may be worrying you presently has everything to do with â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;pushing someone out of the nestâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Though at some level you might wish to keep them close (not least because organisationally that works) but at another you perhaps know that if they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make a move soon, then they are missing out.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at that time of year when things can be both chaotic and exciting.Yet there is a rhythm to time and this year - just one in over a dozen - could prove more expensive than usual. By mid-week you might wonder if your purchases areâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;rightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;or if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re perfect but have drained resources.You may need to talk to yourself sternly midweek - and not just from the point of view of money-matters.

There are times when you manage to bridge the gap between detail and vision.Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;knowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;what needs to be done; can keep an eye on the minutia and know exactly what the finished product or service will look like.The art is perhaps in finding theâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;rightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;team who will work with you getting things in place and on time.There is very real danger presently of you over-stretching yourself.You would do well to remind yourself frequently that you are not super-human!

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reasonable to think that at this time of year preparations for festivities will be preoccupying. Even so, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a festival air to Monday - which may be linked to contact with siblings or colleagues celebrating birthdays: possibly marking a milestone that warrants extra attention.

A flurry of social excitement is promised but will surely need to be followed by quiet attention to detail and to transport arrangements for early 2016.

Just how reliant you are on friends and colleagues to ensure smooth running of plans should be apparent on Monday. It may be that someone has promised more than they can really deliver.This leaves you with choices: to accept with grace what they can do, to pay more to have a product or service delivered on time or to blow a gasket (or a mixture of all three). In short, the week could get off to a bumpy start.

Yours is one of the Mutable (think versatile) signs of the zodiac. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no problem to you to think of several things simultaneously and absorb facts and figures (as long as youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re interested!). In one sense, it could be said that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re happy wherever you are. Presently though it seems others need to know what it is that you really, really want. This isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the time to be coy or to suggest that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not too bothered.

With Mercury now in your sign and moving toward its annual alignment with Pluto next weekend, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s surely some deep-thinking to do. As of Monday it might seem that you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;tâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;knowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;enough and that the best way forward includes extra training. Really? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as likely that you could gain through renewing contact with those you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen for some time. Putting networking as high priority may be no bad thing.

Before you get swamped with requests and with long list of things to do, it might be useful to think back to your birthday and any ideas and aims you determined to achieve this year. Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s First Quarter Moon marks a staging post for these. At the very least you could, perhaps, drop hints as to what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to receive as gifts in a few weeksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; time. As of this week it may be apparent that someone who offered SO much earlier this year isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t in a position to deliver.

It seems others want SO much from you - including direction. At a personal level thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perhaps not your strongest suit. Yet you can show exceptional talent for organising others. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that trait thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s likely to be on display this week. You could both draw up timelines and persuade others to work with these. By midweek you might even be regarded is indispensable to someone whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been in chaotic situation for many months.

So whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all the fuss about Christmas anyway? For some, the holidays simply mean an over-indulgence in decadent foods, the giving and receiving of presents, and a twinkling of lights red and green.
