JokesBecky was 73 and just got her firstcomputer. After her son spent over 2hours teaching her how to use it, shewas sure she knew everything therewas to know about computers. Un-fortunately though, one day shecouldn’t get it to start so she prompt-ly called an IT guy to come over andtake a look at it. The IT guy managedto fix the issue in a few minutes andwas on his way. Becky was proudwhen she overheard the IT guy onthe phone with his boss telling himabout the issue, she was sure it meantit was a serious issue and she wassure she took care of it the right way.“Excuse me if you don’t mind measking,” asked Becky to the man onhis way out. “I couldn’t help over-hearing you on the phone with yourboss. What exactly is an Id ten Tproblem? Just so I can tell my son.”
The man smiled, took out a pen, “itstands for this: I-D -1-0-T”.
An amnesiac walks into a bar. Hegoes up to a beautiful woman andsays, “So, do I come here often?”
The barman says, “We don’t servetime travelers in here.” A time traveler walks into a bar.
“Give me a sentence about a fire-man,” the teacher instructed her sec-ond class student.“The fireman came down the ladderpregnant,” he answered.“Umm … Do you know what preg-nant means?”
“Yes,” said the boy. “It means carry-ing a child.”
A couple are sitting in their livingroom, sipping wine. Out of theblue, the wife says, “I love you.”“Is that you or the wine talking?”asks the husband.“It’s me,” says the wife. “Talking tothe wine.”
I was standing in front of the bath-room mirror one evening admiringmy reflection, when I posed thisquestion to my wife of 30 years:“Will you still love me when I’m old,fat, and balding?”She answered, “I do.”
Never keep up with the Joneses.Drag them down to your level; it’scheaper.
After 12 years in prison, a man final-ly breaks out. When he gets home,filthy and exhausted, his wife says,“Where have you been? You escapedeight hours ago!”
My husband and I couldn’t decidewhich jacket to buy our granddaugh-ter, so we asked the young salesman.“If you were buying a jacket for yourgirlfriend,” I said, “what would youget?”“A bulletproof one,” he said. “I’mmarried.”

Skillnets – the national agency re-sponsible for funding and support-ing training networks – hasannounced details of a new trainingfund worth nearly half a millioneuro (€450,000), aimed at assistingprivate sector businesses to grow,by addressing their current and fu-ture skills needs.
A group of businesses from thesame region, or specialising in thesame sector, can collectively applyto develop a Skillnets training net-work, and draw down funding sup-port for the development anddelivery of training. Businesses canbe of any size, from a sole trader tomulti-national, and the fund willalso be open to existing industryfederations, industry bodies or en-terprise groups.
Speaking about the training fundBrendan Mc Ginty, Chairman ofSkillnets, said: “It is a progressivetime for Tipperary enterprise, withan increase in the number of peoplein employment, as businesses lookto expand. Having the appropriateskills, including addressing futureskill needs to deal with this expan-sion, is vital for sustainable devel-opment. The success of our open
call for Skillnets training networkslast year, which resulted in the es-tablishment of 11 new training net-works, indicates the growingdemand among businesses for rele-vant and innovative solutions toaddress skills shortages in theworkplace. Skillnets is pleased toannounce another new fund forSkillnets training networks thisyear, so that more enterprises look-ing to expand their business can beassisted in skills development.”
The total fund available for newnetworks is €450,000. Skillnets op-erates under a joint investmentmodel whereby participating train-ing networks can apply to receiveup to 50 per cent of the cost oftraining from Skillnets, and the re-mainder of costs are funded in cashcontributions from participatingbusinesses in the training network.The first closing date for the newfunding call is 15th March, with asecond closing date in November2016.
Skillnets already supports 63 train-ing networks in a wide range ofsectors from manufacturing to in-formation technology and food /
beverage and mixed sectoral train-ing networks across many regions.
One of the networks set up fromlast year’s funding is Aviation &Aerospace Skillnet, which providestraining to the aviation and aero-space sector. Part 21 Design Ire-land, based in Ireland’s aviationhub in Shannon, is a member of thenetwork.
Mick Malone, Head of Airworthi-ness at Part 21 Design Ireland said:“Ireland is one of the leading play-ers in the international aviation in-dustry and in order to keep ourcompetitive edge in a global mar-ketplace, our staff need to be con-tinually up-skilled to meet thesedemands. Courses offered by theAviation & Aerospace Skillnetform an essential part of our ongo-ing staff training. This type of rele-vant, practical training is invaluableas it ensures our staff are up-skilledin areas critical to our business.”
According to Brendan McGinty: “Akey element of the Government’sgrowth and employment strategy isensuring Ireland has the quality andquantity of skills to attract, retainand grow job opportunities and in-
vestment. The collaborative natureof training networks enables mem-bers to be more responsive tochanging market needs, workingtogether to identify and meet futureskills requirements in their indus-try, so their business stays ahead ofthe curve.
Investing in the skills of existingstaff can result in immediate cost-savings and significantly add valueto the business, leading to such ad-vantages as improved productivityand increased profits. Employerscan also enjoy additional benefitsof staff loyalty and commitment,which can help achieve greater em-ployee retention levels in an in-creasingly competitive jobs market.These business benefits can be ac-complished with relatively low in-vestment through the Skillnetstraining network model.”
For networks seeking to access thenew call by Skillnets, full detailsare available onwww.skillnets.ie/funding or directcontact can be made with a memberof the Skillnets team:[email protected] / 012079630.

Originally called MATHletes, thechallenge was started in 2014 bytechnology entrepreneur SeanO’Sullivan and Khan Academy, anot-for-profit on a mission to pro-vide a free, world-class educationfor anyone, anywhere. The goalwas to increase students’ compe-tence and confidence in maths, andto date, 326 students in Tipperaryhave participated.
Nationally over 13,000 primaryand secondary students have com-pleted more than 4 million minutesof learning maths skills. The suc-cess of the Irish challenge inspiredKhan Academy to take the chal-lenge to the USA as LearnStorm in2015.
MATHletes is returning in 2016with a new name: LearnStorm Ire-land. Starting in January, studentsin Tipperary can earn recognitionfor themselves and their schools bymastering maths skills on KhanAcademy.

with help from The O'SullivanFoundation and is being deliveredlocally by Camara Ireland. JamesTynan from Khan Academy, said“LearnStorm helps students notonly to get excited about maths,but to cultivate higher order skillsabout learning that will permeateother life challenges, too. Weknow that the more you grapplewith something, the more your ca-pacity expands. LearnStorm is foreveryone as it rewards students forhard work and mastery, no matterif they’re learning basic arithmeticor advanced calculus.”
John Fitzsimons, CEO of CamaraEducation, said, “We are reallyexcited that signups are now openfor this free maths challenge forIreland. This is precisely the typeof innovative education that ICTcan facilitate both inside and out-side the classroom."
LearnStorm Ireland has €20,000 inprizes up for grabs as studentsfrom across the 32 counties earnrecognition for their class, theirschool, for their county and forIreland to be rewarded for theirhard work.

We are desperately in need of wiseflood prevention measures thatwork, to quote the Chinese Emper-or Yu, 3,160 years ago, whose an-cient proverb reminds us“ To protect your rivers, first pro-tect your mountains ”.
The Woodland League a not forprofit NGO, sympathise with af-fected citizens nationwide and callfor a common sense reaction tosolving the recurring flooding cri-sis.
Before we spend millions of euroson downstream knee jerk hard engi-neering false solutions, especiallybefore we make any decision to godredging rivers, which will onlysend the problem further down-stream as many other EU countrieshave discovered at great cost. Thosecountries who adopted dredgingstrategies are now reversing their illjudged decisions. We also face thevery real prospect of heavy EUfines and penalties which could add
further to the cost of short termquick fixes.
Andrew St Ledger, the League PROsays " We can all agree there is aneed now to find wise long termsolutions to fix flooding, one part ofthis solution is to work with nature,farmers, and local communities torestore our degraded uplands, riv-ers, streams, wetlands and floodplains so that they can perform theirnatural regulatory function to theiroptimum capacity ".
There is an urgency now to payheed to recent UK scientific re-search in comparable upland situa-tions to Ireland. The UK Pontbrenproject, conducted by Bangor uni-versity in Wales found that waterwas absorbed 67 times faster bynative woodland than on grass. ThePontbren project of 1000 ha was afarmer led approach to sustainablefarming in the uplands.
To date they have planted 12,000native trees, 5% of the area, rein-
stated 26.5km of hedgerow and cre-ated ponds covering 5.4 acres aswell as restoring wetlands whichact as natural reservoirs. The re-search found that if all the farmersin the catchment followed their ex-ample, flooding downstream wouldreduce by 29%. Full reforestationwould reduce the flooding by 50%or more.
The development of an alien treefarming forestry model in Ireland'suplands with its non native shallowrooted trees, soil compaction byclear-felling with heavy machines,deep vertical drains, and hundredsof kilometres of heavy duty roads,has also compounded the floodingissue. Sending large amounts ofwater and silt down hill and rippingthe river and stream banks along theway adding to the flooding prob-lems in the lowlands.
St Ledger went on to say
" Rain is landing on soil with nosponge ability in tree plantations, it
is then channelled into deep verticaldrains and cascading at speed head-long down our hills and mountains,flooding the low lands ".
" Why is it with all the advisors andconsultants available to Ministersfor advice, that this no brainer, lowcost basic solution on our doorstepcontinues to be overlooked ".
"The Pontbren trials provide uswith a sustainable and cost effectiveblueprint for restoring our fragileuplands using natural methods, en-suring a reduction in flooding, afuture for small farmers and wildlife, with knock on benefits for lo-cal communities and is in the na-tional interest ".
The Woodland League are activelyseeking cross party support for thisinitiative having already engagedwith a number of interested TD'sand Senators who recognise themerit in this common sense naturalsolution.

Counselling
By Jim O’Shea
Anxiety(continued from previous issue)
As mentioned, social anxiety can beespecially severe at the thought ofmeeting strangers, and sufferers may feelextremely self-conscious. This is anextreme and crippling form of shyness (Imust say I like shyness in the normalsense of the word. It is a lovelycharacteristic). You may have heard itsaid that man is the only animal whoblushes, and extreme shyness is at thecore of social phobia. Blushing is anautomatic response to feeling under thespotlight. Some become so embarrassedby the blushing that it restricts theirsocial life and their ability to relate toothers. I have read the stories of over 700people who are tormented by blushing,and it is sad that it inhibits their life tosuch an extent.
Blushing is a physical response showingembarrassment, or even shame, andcomes from a rush of adrenaline, thehormone that gets us ready for flight orfight when we are in danger. Part of theeffects of adrenaline is to allow the veinsto widen, to help in the flight or fightreaction. This is what happens to yourface when you blush, and possibly flush(sweat). The veins widen, and your facereddens as a result.
So, there seems to be sensitisationcoming from a fear of danger. Thesufferer experiences high anxiety andbecomes over-nervous. I imagine theroots of this may lie in childhood (ifthere is not an underlying medicalcause). There is a phobia about blushingcalled erythrophobia. If you wish to learnmore about erythrophobia you might liketo read a very interesting article calledPatients With Erythrophobia (Fear ofBlushing) Show Abnormal AutonomicRegulation in Mental Stress Conditionsby Kurt Laederach-Hofmann and hiscolleagues.
There are several other medicalexplanations for blushing, and there issome controversy about the effectivenessand side effects of surgical interventionsto prevent it. The principal interventionis Endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy(ETS). You can investigate this on theinternet for side effects.
There are many other suggestions foralleviating blushing, but I do not knowhow effective they are. Some doctorsrecommend cutting down on coffee,drinking plenty of water, drinkingalcohol slowly, refraining from eatingspicy food or high carb food. Othersufferers found that using a high factorsun cream and giving up dairy productshelped. Some, but not all, have beenhelped by EFT (Emotional FreedomTechniques). You can find out all aboutthis on the internet, and you candownload a self-help manual on it. Youcan download this through the link
http://www.eftfree.net/downloads/the_eftfree_manual.pdf
While it does not get to the root of theproblem, which is vital as far as I amconcerned, it is possible to camouflageblushing. Many sufferers findDermacolour very effective inconcealing blushing. No doubt, yourpharmacist probably stocks this product.There is also a product calledDermablend.
I must admit that drinking red winemakes me flush. I also find that being ina warm room makes my face red. I feelthat stress and rushing affects me andmakes me blush. I noticed this inparticular on the night my book on thedeath of my youngest child was launchedin Dublin. It was an extremely stressfulsituation, and looking at photographslater, I noticed how red my face was.However, this is only an occasionalproblem for me and does not bother meat all.
So why is it that if I am beetroot red I amnot bothered, while others feel sorestricted that they avoid going tocelebrations and functions. I amconvinced that looking at how we thinkis a good way to go about easing the fearof blushing or blushing itself. I alwayssay ‘so what. My face is red. What aboutit’. In other words, I minimise the fearand the complaint. Catastrophisingincreases our sensitivity and makes thematter worse. However, as I havealready said, it takes up to a year ofpractising changing our negativethoughts before a change takes place.Some sufferers find that meditationhelps; it increases powers ofconcentration, and helps to divert theirthinking from their problem.
