One night a fellow drove his secretary home after she had imbibed a little too much at an office reception. Although this was an innocent gesture, he decided not to mention it to his wife, who tended to get jealous easily. The next night the man and his wife were driving to a restaurant. Suddenly he looked down and spotted a highheel shoe half hidden under the passenger seat. Not wanting to be conspicuous, he waited until his wife was looking out her window before he scooped up the shoe and tossed it out of the car. With a sigh of relief, he pulled into the restaurant parking lot. That's when he noticed his wife squirming around in her seat. "Honey," she asked, "have you seen my other shoe?"

A lady goes into the butcher shop and as she is walking around the store, she spies a beef tongue in the butcher's counter. The lady asks, "What in the world is that?" "Beef tongue," replies the butcher! The lady gives a little involuntary shudder, "No way would I put anything in my mouth that came out of an animal's mouth!" The butcher nods sympathetically while peeking into the woman's shopping cart, "I see you're buying a dozen eggs!"

A little boy opened the big family bible. He was fascinated as he fingered through the old pages. Suddenly, something fell out of the Bible. He picked up the object and looked at it. What he saw was an old leaf that had been pressed in between the pages. "Mama, look what I found", the boy called out." What have you got there, dear?" With astonishment in the young boy's voice, he answered, "I think it's Adam's underwear

A sister and brother are talking to each other when the little boy gets up and walks over to his Grandpa and says, "Grandpa, please make a frog noise." The Grandpa says, "No." The little boy goes on, "Please...please make a frog noise." The Grandpa says, "No, now go play." The little boy then says to his sister, "Go tell Grandpa to make a frog noise." So the little girl goes to her Grandpa and says, "Please make a frog noise." The Grandpa says, "I just told your brother 'no' and I'm telling you 'no'." The little girl says, "Please...please Grandpa make a frog noise." The Grandpa says, "Why do you want me to make a frog noise?" The little girl replied, "Because mommy said when you croak we can go to Disney World!"

And it was so.

Finally, God created Man and told him, "You are Man, the only rational Being that walks the earth. You will use your intelligence to have mastery over the creatures of the world. You will dominate the earth and live for 20 years."

Then God created the dog, and told him, "You are dog. You will hold vigilance over the dwellings of Man, to whom you will be his greatest companion. You will eat his table scraps and live for 30 years."

The man responded, "Lord, to be Man for only 20 years is too little. Please, Lord; give me the 15 years the mule refused, the 20 years the dog refused, and the 10 years the monkey rejected."

The dog responded, "Lord, to live 30 years as a dog like that is too much. Please, no more than 10 years."

And so God made Man to live 20 years as a man, then marry and live 15 years like a mule working and carrying heavy loads on his back. Then, he is to have children and live 20 years as a dog, guarding his house and eating the leftovers after they empty the pantry; then, in his old age, to live 10 years as a monkey, acting like an idiot to amuse his grandchildren.

And it was so.

God created the mule, and told him, "You are mule. You will work constantly from dusk to dawn, carrying heavy loads on your back. You will eat grass and lack intelligence. You will live for 35 years." The mule answered, "To live like this for 35 years is too much. Please, give me no more than 20."

“Today’s businesses are facing increased competition and are under pressure to cut costs. They face escalating labour, energy and material costs and are concerned about their business’s environmental impact. Productivity is a powerful tool to address these pressures and provide companies with the competitive edge,” said Eoin Gahan, Head of Regulation Trade and Policy Foresight, Forfás, at the launch of a joint agency productivity guide for employers and employees. The Guide provides companies with proven tactics for boosting productivity. “Achieving higher productivity levels is an important ingredient for future international competitiveness and sustainability. Ireland’s productivity rates lag our competitors, particularly in traditional manufacturing and locally traded services sectors. The slowdown in productivity growth in Ireland over recent years is a concern but there are actions which can be taken by businesses. The guide highlights some of the actions which can be taken to help grow productivity levels within companies through partnership between managers and staff,” commented Gahan.

The High Level Group on Manufacturing, which reported in 2008, recognised the critical need to increase productivity growth rates and recommended a user guide on steps managers and staff can take to improve productivity at the level of the firm. In response Boost your Company’s Productivity: Simple Steps was developed by Forfás in conjunction with businesses, representative bodies and Enterprise Ireland, IDA Ireland and the National Centre for Partnership & Performance. The guide outlines that key areas for companies to look at when striving to grow productivity are: flexible work practices; innovation and creativity in responding to customer needs; skills and training; improvements in organisational management; and efficiency in resource use such as energy and investment in ICTs and modern equipment. You can download an electronic version of the book from the following link http://www.forfas.com/publications/2 009/title,4556,en.php

The GreenHouse announces "Business Camp 09"! The GreenHouse incubator, Irelands first private sector start-up incubator, is announcing “Business Camp 09”! The event will take place on Sunday October 11th in the Absolute Hotel, Limerick. As a follow up to the highly successful Bizcamp Limerick in March 09 we have decided to organize an even bigger & better event. Business Camp will not only target Limerick but the whole of Irelands’ Mid-West. We will also not just target early stage start-up ventures but also existing companies that are struggling in the current economic conditions. Business Camp 09 will create a forum for people involved in business to have frank, open discussions on how to deal with the challenges of business, what strategic & tactical decisions to make, where to get support (and how to approach sources of support). All this in an open & informal manner. Most of all Business Camp is free and structured for & by the people attending. No suits, no ties, just good quality discussion and information. The event will consist of a number of talks by seasoned entrepreneurs and experts in a variety of business related fields. Concurrently to this there will be smaller more informal presentations and discussions as well as break-out sessions in some of the smaller business suites. There are also lots of opportunities to meet in-

teresting people and engage in valuable discussions. This time we have also invited a number of government business development bodies, VC funds and Angel investors. At the end of the day there will be a open discussion with a panel of seasoned business people. Evert Bopp, serial entrepreneur and founder of the Greenhouse Incubator, says; “Events like these are invaluable in current economic times. With mass redundancies there is a surplus of knowledge and experience out there. We need to capitalize on that before it flees the country. People interested in starting their own business should be shown the ropes by people who have been there & done that”. He goes on to say “This event is not about handing you a brochure and sending you on your way, it’s about giving you the tools to start your own business, showing you the road and creating “friendships” that will help you along the way”. Most noticeable is that Business Camp 09 is free to attend and is fully supported by sponsors & volunteers. All you need to do is register online. More details can be found online (http://www.greenhouselimerick.co m/camp ) or on Twitter: @GreenHouseL For more details contact Evert Bopp on 086/8645099

Most people with flu are able to recover at home within a few days without needing anti-viral medicine or medical care.

What should Individuals do to Protect themselves and others from Swine Flu: It is important that the following practices are adhered to: Individuals should use a tissue to cover their nose and mouth when coughing and/or sneezing, dispose of the tissue promptly then wash their hands. CATCH IT, BIN IT, KILL IT Tissues should be disposed of in domestic waste – they do not require any special treatment. Individuals should not use cloth handkerchiefs or reuse tissues. This practice carries a risk of contaminating pockets or handbags which may then recontaminate hands every time they go into those pockets or handbags. Individuals should clean their hands frequently, especially after coughing, sneezing and using tissues. Soap and water is a perfectly effective means od cleaning hands; however, handrubs which are provided can be used as an alternative. Individuals should minimise touching of the mouth, eyes and/or nose, unless they have recently cleaned their hands. Normal household detergent and water should be used to clean surfaces frequently touched by hands. Normal Household detergent and water should be used to clean surfaces frequently touched by hands. Individuals should clean their hands as soon as they get to work and when they arrive home.

The Summer is gone and as Autumn rolls in why not learn something new, take up a new hobby or improve your employment prospects. Over the coming weeks there are many classes starting with a wide variety of subjects in a vast range of disciplines. The human brain thrives on learning new things. Like any muscle, the brain needs to be exercised. Now is the perfect time to start exercising it. With unemployment levels rising now is the time to brush up on your skills and learn new ones to ensure you can offer more in your current job or to have something to add to your CV. They don’t have to be work related however. Maybe you just want to learn a new hobby or have always had an interest in a particular topic. It is also a great way to meet new

people and many long lasting friendships have been formed through attending courses. You’ve got that much in common at least! Don’t spend your days glued to the TV. Remember the saying ‘Garbage in, garbage out!’. Educate yourself and exercise that brain. You may need it sometime!

St. Sheelan’s College in Templemore has an enrolment night on Sept. 14th. Colaiste Mhuire has enrolment nights on Sept. 14th and 17th. For details of how to apply for courses at St Ailbe’s in Tipperary Town please see the display ad on this page.

The last hurler to play in the Senior Championship with Tipperary and Kilkenny was Denis Byrne (Graigue/Ballycallan (Kilkenny) & Mullinahone (Tipperary). Having played with Kilkenny and captained them to the Leinster title in 1999, he changed club and county allegiance in 2003, making his championship debut for Tipperary v. Laois, at Portlaoise, in a qualifier game on June 14th. Denis lined out at full forward and scored 0-6. He also played against Galway in the next round and came on as a substitute against Offaly in the Quarter Final victory at Croke Park. He didn’t play against Kilkenny in the semi final, which was the last championship meeting between the teams.

Best Wishes to Tipp Team on Sun. 6th Best of Luck to the Tipperary Team From All At Martin O’Dwyers, Cashel

When Kilkenny met Tipp in the 1964 All Ireland final they were defending the title, won against Waterford in a high scoring decider (4-17 to 6-8) the previous year. The Leinster champions were favourites to win the game, but were beaten by double scores 5-13 to 2-8. Tipperary led by 1-8 to 0-6 at half time. The game was refereed by Aubrey Higgins from Galway – the last time a Connacht man refereed the All Ireland final. That was the only previous occasion that Tipperary and Kilkenny played on September 6th.

Paul Kelly joined O’Loughlin Gaels in 2008, where his club mates include Martin Comerford and Brian Hogan. He may be a popular and valuable player in the white and green, but the battle for supremacy will mean business takes precedence until after the game. Paul has proven his versatility for club and county over the years having played in various positions, from half back to corner forward. He played at left half back in Tipperary’s 2001 All Ireland victory and also lined out at midfield, during the campaign. In his first competitive match for O’ Loughlin Gaels, against Fenians, at Freshford,on May 8th 2008, Paul lined out at left half forward and contributed 0-3 .The game ended in a draw at 1-14 each. His performance, at left half back, in the Co. Semi final loss to James Stephens was highly impressive. Hurling Academy During his time as a student, at St Kieran’s College, Kilkenny, Eoin Kelly played in two Colleges’ All Ireland Finals. Despite scoring 1-7 in the 1999 final at Croke Park, he lost to a St Flannan’s College team, captained by Ballinahinch’s Dermot Gleeson and powered by Toomevara’s Benny Dunne, who scored 0-3. There was a happy ending to the 2000 Final at Nenagh, when Eoin, who lined out at centre

His colleagues on that winning team included current Kilkenny senior hurlers Tommy Walsh, Brian Hogan , Jackie Tyrrell and Michael Rice. Managers Debuts Liam Sheedy made his Senior championship debut for Tipperary against Down in the 1997 All Ireland quarter final at Clones. It was the first quarter final in the new back door system and Tipperary won by 3-24 to 3-8. Liam lined out at right half back and held a place on the team until the end of the 1999 campaign. Brian Cody made his Senior championship debut for Kilkenny at left half back in the 1973 All Ireland final loss to Limerick. Following their Leinster Final win over Wexford, Kilkenny lost four players through injury and emigration before they played Limerick. Brian had captained the All Ireland winning Minor team the previous year. Interestingly, neither Manager played championship hurling against his upcoming opponents. Managing the clubs This year two former Tipperary senior hurlers are involved with Kilkenny Senior Clubs. Dinny Cahill (Kilruane MacDonaghs) is with Graigue/Ballycallan, while John Leahy is again taking charge of Carrickshock, where former Tipp underage player Emmet Dunphy (Roscrea) is the goalkeeper. Crossing the lines Two Kilkenny men who played in Tipperary County Finals over the past thirty five years were Pat Kavanagh (Rower Inistioge / BorrisIleigh) and Richard Dunne (Danesfort/Roscrea). Pat played in his first Tipperary Co. Final in 1977 and lost to Kilruane MacDonaghs in a replay, but he was on the winning Borris-Ileigh team against Roscrea

in 1981 and was a substitute, when they next won the title , beating Loughmore Castleiney, in 1983.

Richard was unlucky to lose out with Roscrea in the 1981 Final and again the following year, when Moycarkey/Borris won the title in a replay. The last Tipp man to play in a Kilkenny county final was James Moran (Ballylooby -Castlegrace), who played for James Stephens in their unsuccessful bid to dethrone the Shamrocks, in last year’s decider. Other familiar faces Tom Russell, goalkeeper on the Moyne/ Templetuohy team which won the Tipp County title in 1971 has been involved with the Galmoy club for many years. His son, Phil, plays with Laois. Mick Lonergan (Moycarkey/ Borris) who came on as a substitute for Tipperary in the All Ireland finals of 1964 and 1967, both against Kilkenny, has also been involved with that club. Mick’s sons wore the Galmoy colours and Brian won a minor All Ireland title with Kilkenny in 1993 .

James Woodlock (Drom and Inch), Stephen Hogan (Lorrha and Dorrha) and Liam Maher (Boherlahan Dualla) are Guardians of the Peace! Liam has been involved with the Dicksboro club since his departure from Boherlahan Dualla, with whom he won a Tipp Co Senior hurling title in 1996, scoring the winning point against Toomevara.

John Doyle’s record of fifty four championship appearances for Tipperary, which stood since 1967, was recently surpassed by Brendan Cummins, who played his fifty fifth game in the All Ireland Semi Final against Limerick. On the day that John Doyle played his last game for Tipp, the Lower Hogan Stand Section M tickets cost twenty five shillings while the match programme cost one shilling. Whatever about inflation since then, Tipp people were very disappointed that his bid for an historic ninth All Ireland medal had failed. John’s son, Michael, was the Manager in 2003 when Tipperary last played Kilkenny in the championship. Record setting Tipperary’s victory over Kilkenny in the 1950 decider might not have produced the highest final attendance but the gate receipts of £6,103 -14 -2 set a new record for a hurling final.

draw (after 70 minutes) last May, the fact that the counties have never drawn in the championship and the law of averages, perhaps this might be the year? Much travelled The late Mick Ryan (Roscrea) won a Kilkenny County Senior Hurling title with Dicksboro in 1950. They beat Éire Óg (city) in a final replay by 4-6 to 1-5. He lined out at centre forward in the club’s first victory for twenty four years. His team mates included Dan Kennedy, who had faced Mick in the All Ireland final a couple of months earlier. Mick died in 2007, but is remembered fondly in Roscrea, Kilkenny and Cork, where he played successfully with Blackrock and St. Finbarrs in hurling and Clonakilty in football. Cork again

Tipperary GAA Scene All IRELAND SENIOR HURLING FINAL

We wish our senior hurlers and team management every success for Sunday’s All Ireland hurling final against 4 in a row seeking Kilkenny. This is Tipperary’s first All Ireland final appearance since 2001 and there is huge interest throughout the county and beyond in the game. 68,515 people attended the 2001 final between Tipperary and Galway which was a full house at the time because the building of the new Croke Park was not fully completed. There is no doubt there will be more than 80,000 there on Sunday. It will be the first championship encounter between the counties since 2003 and the first All Ireland final contest between them since 1991. It’s the third competitive encounter between them this year following the league game in Nowlan Park and the League Final in Thurles. The general consensus is that the final features the two best teams in the country with Kilkenny starting as clear favourites as they make their 8th appearance this decade in a final and seek their 7th win, their only defeat coming in 2004 to Cork. However, this is an improving Tipperary team and there is no doubt they will represent the county well on hurling’s biggest day of the year.

16 Things that it took me over 50 years to learn Anyone fancy swapping goods or services? If yes read on.

1. Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.

Do you have a professional service that you can offer to someone in exchange for their services or goods? We are going to try something new in the Tipp Tatler that will allow you to barter for goods and services free of charge.

2. If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be "meetings."

For example maybe you’re a painter who would like to learn how to use computers. Simply send in your offer to us and we will put it out there to see if anyone will respond. Sample offers might read like this:-

3. There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."

Qualified, experienced painter willing to trade work for lessons in basic computing, ie. Microsoft Word and Excel. Ph: 0504-123456 Book keeper available to prepare accounts in exchange for garden and lawn maintenance. Ph: 067-123456 Beautician will exchange gift vouchers for restaurant vouchers. Ph: 087-12345678 etc. etc. You get the idea. It’s not a new idea. We’ve all been doing it for centuries. It used be called helping your neighbours. But now we are all so busy and maybe new to an area that we don’t really know our neighbours. Or simply our neighbours/friends aren’t skilled enough to do the job required. Anyhow we’re willing to give it a shot. So if you want to participate just email your offer to info@tipptatler.com or post to Tipp Tatler, Curraghgraigue, Borrisoleigh, Co. Tipperary. A few things to bear in mind: • Keep it short and to the point and try to be specific in what you are offering and what you would like in return. • Goods and services being swapped should be of equal value (add cash if needed) and valued at what they would cost if you were to pay normal rates. • We reserve the right to refuse to publish any offer if it seems inappropriate. • Please don’t send in wording that is just a blatant ad for your business. You can use your business name but without an essay of your skills, type of work you do, long list of services offered etc. etc. • It is a free service, although if we are inundated with 1000’s of offers we will have to charge a nominal fee. So get in early before that happens! • We reserve the right to make up the rules as we go along. Keep it simple and straightforward and there should be no problems. Who knows, maybe it will take off, maybe it won’t. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. We’d like to think that it would and believe it is a great opportunity for everyone. There are a couple of websites that offer the same thing also if you want to check them out. www.swop-o-nomics.com and www.barterireland.com and

4. People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to share yours with them. 5. You should not confuse your career with your life. 6. Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance. (I wish I had!) 7. Never lick a steak knife. 8. The most destructive force in the universe is gossip. 9. You will never find anybody who can give you a clear and compelling reason why we observe daylight savings time. 10. You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests that you think she's pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her at that moment.

11. There comes a time when you should stop expecting other people to make a big deal about your birthday. That time is age 21. 12. The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that, deep down inside, we ALL believe that we are above average drivers. 13. A person, who is nice to you, but rude to a waiter, is not a nice person. (This is very important. Pay attention. It never fails.) 14. Your friends love you anyway. 15. Never be afraid to try something new. Remember that a lone amateur built the Ark. A large group of professionals built the Titanic. 16. Thought for the day: Men are like fine wine . . . They start out as grapes, and it's up to the women to stomp the crap out of them until they turn into something acceptable to have dinner with. FINAL THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: There is more money being spent on breast implants and Viagra than on Alzheimer's research. This means that by 2030, there should be a large elderly population with perky boobs and huge erections and absolutely no recollection of what to do with them.

Delia Smith v The Real Woman Delia's Way When a cake recipe calls for flouring the baking tin, use a bit of the dry cake mix instead and there won't be any white mess on the outside of the cake. The Real Woman's Way Tesco's sell cakes. They even do decorated versions. Delia's Way If you accidentally over-salt a dish while it's still cooking, drop in a potato slice. The Real Woman's Way If you over salt a dish while you are cooking, that's tough. Please recite with me the Real Woman's motto: "I made it, you will eat it and I don't care how bad it tastes." Delia's Way Brush some beaten egg white over piecrust before baking to yield beautiful glossy finish.

The Real Woman's Way Dunne's frozen pie directions do not include brushing any egg white over the crust so I don't do that. Delia's Way Cure for headaches: Take a lime, cut it in half and rub it on your forehead. The throbbing will go away.

Borrisoleigh Annual Charity Cycle 2009 In aid of the Irish Cancer Society (Night Nursing Service) Once again the time has come for the Borrisoleigh annual cycle which will take place at 2pm on Saturday the 19th of September 2009. This year we will be cycling for the Irish Cancer Society (Night Nursing Service) which provides a service for critically ill patients with cancer in their home. This service is vital to relieve the difficulties that families experience during this time. Night Nursing allows the patient to remain at home, thereby maintaining the continuity of care that the patient has experienced, surrounded by their family and supported by the home care team. Night Nurses sit with the patient through the night, providing nursing care, practical support and reassurance. The Night Nursing service has now been extended to cover patients with cancer during stages other

than terminal illness e.g. respite care. This allows the family time to rest and take a break from their very demanding caring role. Night nurses are provided free of charge for up to 10 nights. Last year almost 1500 families throughout Ireland availed of the Irish Cancer Society Night Nursing service. Sponsorship cards will be distributed shortly, so it's time to get the bike in working order again and start training. A few short spins two to three times a week between now and the19th September should be enough to get you around the course which again will be from Borrisoleigh to Thurles, onto Templemore and back to Borrisoleigh.For further information please contact P.J. Delaney or Ruairi O'Connell.

Book Review Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, by Jane Austen and Seth Grahame-Smith It is a truth universally acknowledged that a zombie in possession of brains must be in want of more brains.

E-Tips: Keep your kids interested and inspired by Elaine Rogers, Seefin Coaching Ease – Ease them into a new concept – rather than throwing a complete set of rules at them, play a game with them and play as one player together rather than two, to keep the competitive aspect out of the game. This will help them learn how to play. Add in the rules one at a time and show examples of how each rule can be broken. Children are naturally competitive so the feel for the “win” will come naturally as their confidence grows with their knowledge for the play.

And the sixth - Example Always know that your children witness and hear everything that goes on in your home, and outside. Children are innately perceptive; they pick up on tension, cheating and insecurity on the part of an adult or another child. They are also very moral human beings, and have clear opinions of what is right and wrong. However, they learn by example, and those who influence the most are parents, other close members of the immediate family, teachers and other children and their parents. So when you are doing activities and interacting in and out of the home, always be aware that your child is watching you and how you interact with the world. Be aware that you can pass on your anger, laughter, So by using the 5 E’s, we can help ensure our children stay interested and inspired while playing and going about their daily activities.

Irish Tech Firms Raise €111m in First Half 2009

"Anyone who lives within their means suffers from a lack of imagination." -Oscar Wilde

What our customers say “We find the Tipp Tatler to be a great advertising medium. It’s distribution means our business is promoted over a large area to a wide range of people ensuring our business remains successful”. Tom Gleeson - Irishcomputers. “Our company has been advertising in the Tipp Tatler for over two years now and in that time we have received a very good response. The service we have received has been excellent. We would have no hesitation in recommending advertising in the Tipp Tatler to anyone looking for an increase in their business and high quality of service”. Cathy O’Brien, DIY Divorce

Why not try it for yourself call 0504-51945 or email info@tipptatler.com

(IVCA) VenturePulse survey finds that Irish technology firms raised €110.7 million in the first half of 2009, up 7% on the previous year. “This is a positive outcome for the Irish economy against a background of significant falls in investment activity levels around the world. Despite the global credit crunch Irish companies continue to attract venture capital,” commented John Tracey, chairman, IVCA and CEO, TVC Holdings Plc. “The number of companies raising funds increased by 35% to 66 compared to 49 in the same period in 2008 and to 29 in 2007,” added Regina Breheny, director general, IVCA. She said that amounts raised ranged from €50,000 to €18 million. First round funding represented 22% of funds raised. She added, “2008 was the best year for funding since 2002 so it is encouraging that investment levels have been maintained despite the recession. Research finds that VC backed firms employ more graduates, export more and grow faster than other companies and so are an important element in the goal of creating a smart economy.”

17 Irish based venture capital funds and private investors were involved in 111 investments representing 67% of funds raised. 17 international funds and private investors participated in 19 investments and 33% of funds raised. “Irish tech firms continue to attract interest from overseas investors,” added Regina Breheny. She said that an analysis of the investment shows a healthy diversity across a wide range of technologies. In the Pharma/Biotechnology sector, six companies raised €28.6m. 14 drug delivery and medical device companies raised €22.8m. In the telecoms sector, four companies raised €5m. In the environment technology sector, five companies raised €17.4m. 12 companies raised €17.8m in other technology including nano technology, fibre optics, photonics and semiconductor chips. In the business services sector, 14 companies raised €11.2m. 11 other companies raised €7.9m. In the first half of 2009 24 seed or early stage companies raised €23.9m or 22% of funds raised.

Life Assurance How much life assurance do you need? Protection needs are individual and they vary widely from one person to another. For example, if you have a family then the need to protect your children against a sudden loss of income should cease when they become financially independent. Some children leave school at 16 whilst others will continue with full time education until well into their 20's. You will have to make a realistic assessment of the length of time for which you will need protection. The average term requested is 20 years. This would tie in with the typical family requirements to provide cover until their children are self supporting.

For example, the income requirements of a single man will change dramatically when he gets married and has children and his life cover should be adjusted to reflect these different milestones and financial demands. The same principle is relevant for the area of commercial life cover commonly known as 'Business assurance'. While companies may have provided for fire and theft insurance they may not have put cover in place to deal with the financial consequences caused by the death of a firms partner, director or key member of staff. Two methods There are two ways to judge how much life assurance you may need.

By Eamonn Walsh QFA

Key Person in your business Many companies also provide an upfront payment of your cover if you are diagnosed as suffering from a Terminal illness. A Terminal illness is a condition which in medical opinion is highly likely to lead to death within 12 months. Things to consider in deciding what level of cover you may need will include for example the number of dependants, whether there is a second earner and the level of cover they require, the level of cover required for a partner working in the home, the cost of providing for childcare as well as any long term borrowings or loans. Research shows that only 48% of people have any level of live cover and many of these do not have adequate cover. Life cover has never been cheaper so it is an opportune time for people to review their life cover needs so that if the worst should happen, they will at least have provided adequately for their dependents.”

some may provide better customer service than others. Protection needs are individual so, it’s a good idea to have your needs analysed so that a personal recommendation on your precise needs can be arrived at. Gather information, talk to your broker or your financial advisor, even browse the Internet. A broker particularly if they stand ‘Authorised’ should be able to give you independent broad based advice. By taking unbiased “independent” advice you should get more choice. More choice generally means lower premiums and a contract that is tailored to suit your individual needs.

Outsourcing your HR Function Kennedy HR

By Fiona Kennedy, Kennedy HR

Most small businesses don’t have the necessary resources to justify engaging a Human Resource professional on a permanent basis. Traditionally, organisations have relied on themselves or existing staff members to perform HR administration functions. However, with all the responsibilites of being an employer and demands for compliance with employment legislation, an organisation needs to be able to rely on someone who is competent, qualified and experienced, and has sufficient exposure to a diverse range of staffing issues when more complex issues arise. One of the most effective ways to overcome the need for in-house HR Management functions is to outsource. This allows the organisation to concentrate on the operational aspects of their business to increase their bottom line, secure in the knowledge that they are compliant with their obligations under the relevant legislation.

Outbreaks of disease amongst Greenfinches and other garden birds Since mid 2005, BirdWatch Ireland has been receiving an increasing number of reports of garden birds dying of a disease called trichomoniasis The outbreaks in the past two years have been during the late summer and autumn, but there are already signs of an outbreak in 2008. Greenfinches have been the species most frequently affected, but other finch species and House Sparrows are also susceptible to the disease. The parasite lives in the upper digestive tract of the bird, and its actions progressively block the bird’s throat making it unable to swallow food, thus killing it by starvation. Birds with the disease show signs of general illness, such as lethargy and fluffed-up plumage, but affected birds may also drool saliva, regurgitate food, have difficulty in swallowing or show laboured breathing. How is it transmitted? Transmission of infection between birds happens when they feed one another by regurgitating food during the breeding season and through food or drinking water contaminated with recently

regurgitated saliva, or possibly from droppings of an infected bird. What can I do? Employ good hygiene practice, specifically the regular cleaning of all feeders, bird baths and feeding surfaces. It is also helpful during the feeding season to relocate feeders and baths regularly If trichomoniasis is suspected, we recommend that you stop putting out food and leave bird baths dry for around two weeks, or until sick or dead birds are no longer found in the garden. How can you help us? If you are finding sick and dead birds in your garden, please help us monitor the spread and intensity of disease outbreaks, including trichomoniasis, in garden birds by telling us what is happening to your garden birds. You can contact us at info@birdwatchireland.ie or by calling 01-2819878. (courtesy of Birdwatch Ireland).

Abuse

by Jim O Shea

(Continued from previous issue)

Sometimes emotional abusers treat their victims almost as hostages, denying them reminders of their past life. They throw out pictures, letters or other mementos of this part of their lives. They prevent them from making phone calls, or they monitor their calls. They choose the information their victim may see, including watching television. They bully the victim, and force them to accept ideas and behaviours alien to him or her. They may even threaten to harm their targets’ pets. They may also ridicule their victims most valued beliefs, gender, sexuality, ability, age, and sexual orientation, and in that case is part of sexual abuse. Emotional abuse includes withholding approval, appreciation, and affection. Emotional abusers use insults and criticism (criticism must be constant and with the intent to devalue or denigrate before it can be considered abuse) to undermine the victim’s self-confidence, and this includes public humiliation well as actual or threatened rejection. It also includes actions statements or gestures that attack the victim’s self-esteem and self-worth in order to humiliate them. They also try to confuse the victims and make them insecure by saying one thing and doing another, telling lies, and accusing the victim that they are making up the abuse, and telling them that they are mentally unstable or incompetent. Some emotional abusers use threats to get compliance from the victims. They may threaten to leave, to kill themselves, to kill the victim or their family and friends, or their children, or to harm pets. Sometimes this threat becomes a reality, because it happens that when emotional or psychological abuse fails to achieve its end of controlling the victim it spills over into physical abuse. This is clearly illustrated in the narrative of Naomei Will’s book Within the Walls of Silence.

person’s use of the car, monitoring phone calls, using ID or other monitoring devices, and not allowing the person to receive or to make phone calls, and ensuring that the victim does not have a mobile phone. Psychological abusers sometimes suddenly call home to check up on the victim, displaying excessive jealousy and possessiveness. This type of control can also involve not allowing the victim to have time or space of their own. It can include, too, using the children to hurt the victim, by using them as spies, sometimes in the case of a male abuser threatening to call child protection services if the mother leaves the relationship. One of the tactics used by abusers is emotional blackmail. These are some of the warning signs that a person is being emotionally blackmailed: Your partner asks you to choose between something you want to do and him/her Your partner tries to make you feel like you are selfish or a bad person if you do something he/she doesn’t want you to do Your partner asks you to give up something or someone as a way of proving your love for him/her Your partner threatens to leave you if you don’t change Your partner threatens to withhold money or access to money unless you do something he/she has requested

There are cases where these abusers threatened to leave the victims without money, or to ensure that they will never see their children again. The list seems endless, and these abusers, in their efforts to kill their own pain, are experts at finding new tactics to torture their victims.
