I walk, she said
because I do, I walk
in rain. Through fields of brown
dead stalks, shorn close for winter.
Through autumn woods,
tangled branches, tired,
too worn to clutch the stubborn rags of red.
A din, then, a rising crash of
trumpets out of tune.
Geese–not chevrons, though, not pairs or columns,
The pewter sky falls black with churning wings.
Discordant, frenzied, north they fly in autumn, thousands lost,
out of their time,
out of time.
This storm will be bad, she said.
These are endings.
These are endings.

I walk, she said
Training march–20 miles
I did it! I did it! Twenty miles with thirty pounds.
I was wondering about the twenty miles, given that it took me five hours, or a few minutes under. But then I remembered that my regular walks are four miles and they take roughly an hour and a half, including stopping at traffic lights and a trip into the grocery store. Plus the one thing I've never been accused of is walking slowly. Once I get steaming, I roll along. And this is an easy walk, too. Paved roads and footpaths. Not much in the way of uphills, but it is what it is. And I'm OK with that. I remember back in my martial arts days: one of the greatest teachers I had the privilege of learning from said something along the lines of "The dojo is where you practice under bright lights on a soft floor with friends." The Farm Park is bright lights on a soft floor with friends. At the very least, my back and shoulders know what it feels like to carry thirty pounds. My feet know what it feels like to march twenty miles.
I feel pretty good! A little stiff, for sure. I wish I could sit on something high and swing my feet, because those dogs are barking! The only thing that's worrisome is the same old left knee issue. It really started to hurt at the end, and it hurts now. I didn't have the brace with me, but I'll wear it tomorrow.
Wait. Did I say tomorrow? Yes. Yes, I did! I think the only thing I can do right now is prepare my body to do long days in a row. Three times a week is fine, but for me, I want two of them to be back to back. I want to have a little soft-floor, bright-light training with complete lack of motivation—or worse, really not wanting to go out, and going out anyway. Going out without having had a full day of rest to recover.
As far as the walk itself went, it was pleasant. Saw some dead snakes, some dead caterpillars, and some smooshed mice. On the other hand, I had a long stare-down with a deer. I love the way deer stand in the woods and peer at you. They seem wise, somehow, and serene. In the moment. They're gauging which way the wind is blowing from one instant to the next, prepared to move in whatever direction is called for. It's very zen. Thank you, deer.
I saw a lot of people, mostly retirees getting in their miles, and a lot of people walking dogs. A lot of dogs. And some poop. But I digress. I saw one guy who was very chatty—a World War II vet who asked about my backpack and gave me a long rundown of most of the strategy for most of the battles in most of the theaters of the War. It was interesting, but the man himself was more so—more interesting, I mean. Here he is, clearly without people to talk to, clearly deeply interested in this massive experience that shaped his life.
Will that be me, someday? An old woman meandering through a park, pinning down a stranger and talking relentlessly about bear sightings and running out of water near Pearisburg? I hope so. Because when push comes to shove, the guy had to be 80. But there he was, still fit and strong, and wandering, and having those crisp bright memories (and opinions) to share.
When he stopped for a breather, I thanked him for his service, then I slipped away.
Pack rassling
"If the gloves don't fit, you must acquit."
(OK, so maybe that's an unfortunate quote. But since Johnnie Cochran was pretty much a cartoon character anyway [as were all of them, with the notable exception of the vastly unfortunate victims], I guess that's enough said.)
My beautiful, wonderful pack, which I love so much that I want to marry it… yes, my ULA Circuit: We had a sit-down, my pack and I. (I wonder if I should give my pack a name? People name their cars, they name their GPS devices, they name all sorts of things that don't generally need names. Maybe I should name my pack "Mango." Then again, the whole trail name issue is hard enough without compounding it by naming each and every piece of gear as though it were family. Which it is. And my phone, by the way, is "Bruce.")
My pack—for the purposes of this post, let's call it "Mango"—well, let's just say that the gloves don't fit.
And not only the gloves. The stove doesn't fit, the sleeping bag doesn't fit, the eight-pound bag of birdseed I'm using to simulate food doesn't fit… it's a giant, enormous, pretty-much-infinite mess of generalized non-fitting. In other words, I've got the weight manageable, but the bulk is out of control, baby.
I've had to cheat some. For instance, I don't have my stupidly expensive Nunatak quilt yet, so I'm using my stupidly expensive Western Mountaineering bag as a stand-in. The bag weighs 32 ounces. The quilt is reputed to weigh 21, and I'm assuming will take up half the bulk of the WM bag. Great! I figured, because, well, there's a whole raft of crap I haven't figured out yet: toothpaste and such. I mean, I've figured it out, but I haven't packed it up. That extra 11 ounces can represent the rest of the family.
Also, I only had a larger canister of fuel. (I remedied that yesterday, woohoo! That tiny little JetBoil canister is adorable. So adorable, that I want to take two! Which, of course, is why Monsieur Cochrane is the headline of this post.)
I was originally taking a Patagonia down jacket, plus a Montbell down shirt (7 ounces) for sleeping, given that I'm going with the quilt and starting in early March, and I sleep cold. BUT… the people at White Blaze terrified me with all the hypothermia talk, so I decided I'd better switch out the down shirt for a Patagonia fleece, just in case everything gets wet. I'll have one piece of synthetic insulation that dries quickly and also insulates even when wet. But man, that thing is bulky (bulk, of course, being relative, in a situation where 3 ounces might as well be a half-ton)!
I could not jam all that crap into that pack.
Mango and I went through a few iterations of trying things out in a different order, as though somehow packing something on the left instead of the right would magically make it take up less space.
Oh, Mango. You're killing me.
Thus, we've entered the land of Hard Choices. In the land of Hard Choices, the cute Montbell down shirt has to stay at home. Yes, honey, you pack down to the size of a baseball, but you know what? I don't have room for a baseball, either. (That's predicated, of course, on the quilt being warm enough. When it arrives, I'm going to do some hardcore experimenting.)
In the land of Hard Choices, I dumped my titanium coffee cup, which I love. It weighs about as much as a feather, but it takes up too much space. I dumped my polypro ground sheet (although that one may come back; I'm also afraid of three weeks of driving rain). (Also, I'm taking another, silnylon ground sheet for under my tent, so this was basically cutting out a redundant nicety.) In the land of Hard Choices, I switched out my midweight Capilene sleeping insulation shirt for Thermasilk, since I have the Patagonia down jacket. That might not work out either, once I start experimenting with the sleep system, now that the down shirt is a goner.
I'm still working on this. I'd like to get another test-pack done today and tomorrow, including all the miscellaneous toiletries and such.
Mango and I will keep you posted.
Personal: Finding truth
I've been reading George Steffanos's most excellent trail journal, Then the Hail Came. It led me to an epiphany. This isn't about the Trail per se (although everything in my life is about the Trail right now; I'm saturated in the Trail, it pervades every molecule of my DNA, and I'm sucking it down like air).
It's about honesty. I was reading one of his entries, a particularly gut-wrenching one, and the truth of that entry, the emotional truth, was palpable. I could feel myself responding to George's honesty. I could feel the fact that he wasn't holding anything back. He was just out there, putting it out there, being honest and himself and unafraid to let it be there and be public and be announced.
Jay Lake has the same thing, with his cancer blogging.
I don't have it.
See, that's what's missing. That's why fiction and I are currently on a trial separation. That's why I don't connect with people. Because I've always been too afraid of what people were going to think to let my whole truth be out there. I've hidden it for so long, out of fear, that I think I've completely lost track of what it is. What's the truth of me?
Can I put it out there? Myself, with all my rawness, my blisters, my shadows, my confusion? Can I do that without really caring who reads it or what they think? It's not a question of dishonesty, but rather concealment. Castle walls, baby. And moats, and spikes, and dogs, and archers. Keep out. Don't see me. Don't see me, then watch me complain because I'm invisible.
That's my Katahdin: truth. Truth and visibility.
Training walk
Did about 15 miles in the Farm Park today, with a 25-pound pack and no appreciable physical effects. Some slight pounding in the feet, just enough to let me know I did some walking. My back got a little tired toward the end, when I started to slouch.
It gives me hope! Maybe I can really do this thing!
Note: I decided to start taking supplements because of my old crackly painful knees. Yesterday I started on glucosamine-chondroitin and a multivitamin with vitamin D. I kind of poo-pooed the whole idea, but I'm at a point where I'm willing to give anything a try if it might increase my odds of finishing. And I have to tell you, after a single day the crackling in my knees is enormously reduced.
Maybe it's the weather. Maybe it's how I slept or something. Who knows? The pain seems reduced, too, but that's hard not to ascribe to a psychological effect.
Anyway, there it is. I don't know if I'll take them on the hike. That would cut into my food weight (these horse pills are HEAVY; also, they taste like ass). I'll definitely give them a few months anyway. If they seem really effective, it's a price I'm probably willing to pay, given that I was all set to carry about six-hundred pounds of knee pad.
The how of training
I'm not sure what to do about the whole training issue. Honestly, the best I can do would be a long walk on a paved road, under weight. The park has some gentle slopes, but nothing in the way of actual elevation. On the other hand, I'm slowly increasing my pack weight. Even gentle slopes help my body get used to the idea of walking uphill and downhill while carrying 30 pounds. Or do they?
I don't want to wear out my body and my shoes and my knees—you know, use up what's in the gas tank on side trips before the big journey. On the other hand, it seems like any training is better than sitting on my ass. Oh, and speaking of ass, a few miles now might trim that weight down a little, too, which is always good. (I say 'might' because, well, I can't seem to marshal the willpower to both walk a lot of miles and control what I'm eating—not to mention also getting in the requisite number of hours of work.)
Which brings me to the third point: time. Yes, I can walk 12, 15, 18 miles. It takes 4, 5, 6 hours. That's 6 hours I should be spending on the job. And after I walk 12 miles, I'm exhausted. My concentration is shot. My work pace is sluggish, and I'm not confident in the quality of the work I'm doing. Even getting up at 4 AM, it's still hard for me to get more than 4 or 5 hours of work on a good training day. And I'm supposed to be in this huge money-saving mode, what with the being out of work for 6 months next year (assuming I'll be on the Trail that long). Plus, the park doesn't open until daylight. Now that the days are getting short, that means I'm doing this walk-training during actual business hours. It's a part-time job.
So. I can work, or I can train. I can diet, or I can train. And the training isn't on 45-degree Georgia slopes, so I'm not sure what effect it has on the cardio anyway. (Note: I can do 12 miles with no physical after effects. No foot pain anymore. No shoulder or back pain. That's with a 20-pound pack. Since that's my approximate base weight only, I'm going to try to inch that up to 30, my anticipated max weight. But I don't want to use up my pack miles, either! I thought about doing the 30-pound walks with the old, heavier Gregory pack, but I want to practice with the rubbing in the right places and with the getting stuff in and taking it out.
What do you think? Any training is better than no training? Or work is better than 'soft' training, and let the Trail work out the rest? (Note that everything else suffers, too: all social activities, including online, are on moratorium while I'm working a full-time job and walking three days a week. On the other hand, I'm used to this. I remember going through this back in my martial arts days, when I was training up for my black belt tests.)
In my ideal world, I'd do 18 miles three times a week, under 30 pounds of weight.
We'll see.
Phone versus camera: cagematch!
So, I did a 9-miler over at the Farm Park with both the iPhone and my Canon Powershot. I wanted to use the iPhone as my only camera (which would save me roughly 10 ounces). My early impression was that the iPhone camera was great within certain limits, but I wanted to do a quasi-scientific study (by which I mean pretty much a half-assed comparison).
Here you go.
That's some bushes. The iPhone image is the winner there, I'd say. It picked up the lower-light shadows.
And the iPhone was the winner in a few other situations, too.
But—and it's a big but—the phone is a clear loser when it comes to the zoom.
And this one is questionable:
So what's the verdict? Hard to say. The Canon tends to wash out the photos. The phone, though, tends to make them too dark, even with the flash on. The iPhone takes better pictures of the sky. The zoom on the iPhone is pretty much made of fail.
I think the upshot is that no matter what I end up doing on the actual trail, I need to have access to both pieces of equipment. I'll probably end up taking everything twice! That's fine, though. It's only pixels. And the iPhone will be terrific for the day-to-day stuff that I might upload here. The camera will be for the photo album.
And, of course, I'm no photographer. I have about as much skill with both pieces of equipment as that dalmation in that one picture. (Cute doggie, by the way.)
Trail journals
"I finally made my way back to the shelter—no rides, so it was another three-mile walk in Fontana. You would not think this would bother me, with all of the walking I am already doing on this trip, but my legs and the bloody stumps I use for feet have only so many miles in them on any given day, and I hoard these like a miser. Wasting them on roadwalks not part of the official Appalachian Trail mileage frustrates the hell out of me."
From the best trail journal I've ever read: Then the Hail Came, by George Steffanos, 1983 thru-hiker.
Why, oh why isn't that an e-book? George, if you're reading this, you should put it out on Kindle and make yourself a buck or two. I'd pay for a copy, for sure!
The nerve center—new and improved
The nerve center, new and improved!
I can't quite see how to upload a photo with this phone. That could be a problem.
Edited to add: OK, obviously I figured out how to upload the photos! On the other hand… meh. The quality really isn't stupendous—by which I mean the quality of the photographer, rather than the phone. Still, it'll do for a couple of daily shots, a 'capture the day' sort of thing, for all the people who aren't reading this journal, lol.
Also, how the hell do you make bad photos smaller once you've stuck them up there? Hrm….
Blog roll
By the way, if you're a fellow Appalachian Trail 13er with a journal (or even if you have an AT journal and you're not a 13er), I'd be happy to add a link to your blog. Just drop me a note.
Most folks will be on TrailJournals, I imagine. But some of us are outside "the bubble" (virtually speaking).

Our Post:
Freya is a trainee of our Marrickville SLES (School Leaver Employment Support) program who has set her work goal to find a job in the hospitality industry.
An Industry Visit to Learn More About Your Interests
After her recent industry visit to Voodoo Cafe and Roastery in Marrickville, Freya's passion to work in the hospitality industry has certainly flourished and grown!
Freya has expressed her desire to work in the hospitality industry with her trainer, Ann Maree. So Ann Maree used her extensive employer networks to arrange an industry visit for Freya and the other SLES trainees, Jason and Anna, to Voodoo Cafe.
Voodoo has their very own Roastery, which forms part of their business model. They have been awarded various medals for their coffee blends.
Get a Behind-The-Scenes Look
The first stop for the tour of Voodoo Cafe was behind the café – in the huge Roastery and distribution area. Trainees had the opportunity to smell and feel the coffee beans before they were roasted.
They watched the working roaster and learned more about the Work Health and Safety protocols and procedures for the heat of the roaster.
Trainees also found out that the beans were measured by weight before being placed in the grinder for a specific amount of time. All roasting time is strict, and recorded on a laptop, which highlighted to the trainees the importance of precision and attention to detail.
After roasting, the beans are again weighed and mixed with other coffee bean varieties to make the specific Soul Origin Blends. The Roastery then hand labels its coffee produce for distribution throughout Sydney.
After touring the roaster, trainees were able to view the Function Rooms which included a map of the origins of the Coffee Grounds.
Trainees asked Megan, the Marketing Manager, and Peter, the Café Manager, their pre-prepared questions, to find out about the challenges of their roles, the things that they find most enjoyable about their jobs and how they started in the industry.
Knowing Your Work Options
Thanks to their tour with Megan and Peter, they now understood what skills they need to get started in hospitality. It was insightful to learn that Megan had started as a Barista and now travels throughout Sydney meeting café personnel. She also manages marketing aspects, runs industry expert tours, and organises functions.
After the industry visit, the trainees talked about how impressed they were by the varied opportunities in the café industry.
The tour ended with Jason and Freya looking at, and working, some antique coffee grinders and defunct roastery grinder parts. Then it was hot chocolate, and rich chocolate cookies, for everyone!
Freya is very interested in pursuing a career in the food industry, either in a hands-on role waitressing, or in the office environment.
She thanked Peter and Megan for the tour and said it was the best visit she has ever had. Anna commented that she loved learning where the coffee was mainly sourced from; countries on the African continent.
Getting a closer look into the roles and responsibilities of different jobs help young job-seekers hone their interests for their work life. It's industry visits such as these, that give our SLES trainees the information and experience they need to achieve their goals of a happy and fulfilling work life.

GREENWICH, Conn. -- The Nathaniel Witherell, a short-term rehabilitation and skilled nursing center owned by the Town of Greenwich, recently received a 5-star rating from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
CMS administers federal healthcare programs and sets quality standards. The rating system takes into consideration health inspections, staffing, and quality measures in its evaluation.
This is the seventh consecutive year that the Witherell has earned the 5-star rating since 2008, the year that CMS adopted its rating system. Only 19 percent of the nation's nursing homes receive such high marks.
Nathaniel Witherell also was recently recognized as "one of the best nursing homes in Connecticut" by U.S. News & World Report.
Allen M. Brown, executive director of the Nathaniel Witherell, attributes the center's recognition to its high quality of care, person-centered focus, and a staff turnover rate that is more than six times lower than the national nursing home average. The Witherell's annual nursing staff turnover is 7 percent, compared with a national average of 46 percent, as reported by AARP.
"Many of our nurses have been with us 10 to 30 years. Because they are assigned consistently to the same residents and are not switched around, they develop close, long-term relationships, and are willing and able to provide the outstanding, compassionate care our residents require and deserve," Brown said.
To learn more about Nathaniel Witherell, contact Brown at 203-618-4323 or Scott Neff, Development Director, at 203-618-4227, or visit the website at www.nathanielwitherell.org.

As the new vice president of Tornos U.S., I've had discussions with many of our customers and other Swiss turning shops in recent weeks about how business is going, what they like or don't like about their machines, and what concerns they have today and for their future. The theme seems to be the same across all conversations—a lot of apprehension about the market and how to react.
Featured Content
Many companies tell us they are concerned about what they're going to do tomorrow to keep up with the production requests that are coming in today. They know they need to expand (invest in new machines and bring in more personnel), but they tell me the economy is holding them back from taking any investment risks. They're waiting to see what's going to happen and are closely watching the steps other local businesses are making.
One way my company is helping is by finding ways our customers can take better advantage of the equipment they already own to increase their productivity. We have been working to develop programs that offer additional training. But we've also opened discussions with our technical group here and in Switzerland to review ways to better support our customers and pinpoint some of the ways they can improve processing. For many Swiss turning companies, a machine may run a particular process for 2 to 3 years, but during that time there can be big improvements (in tooling, new options or additional tool capabilities) that don't necessarily cost a lot to implement. So we're helping these companies identify new, more efficient processes that help their bottom line and improve their competitiveness.
These efforts, which may seem counterintuitive to an OEM's goal of selling machines, are actually perfectly aligned with our larger strategy—to help our customers set themselves apart in their areas of expertise and to help make them more productive in an economy that's forced them to be more efficient.
Another part of this plan is to push Swiss turning education within our local trade schools. In the coming year, you'll see a big effort from my organization to increase our interaction with technical schools as well as the PMA, PMPA, TMA and SME. I am very interested in becoming part of these larger training discussions and want to work to establish Swiss turning courses in technical schools across the country.
I believe we have missed a real opportunity here in the past and, as the tide is starting to turn with manufacturing slowly moving back to the U.S. in part because of the low U.S. dollar, it is important that the market has well educated operators ready. Already, many of our larger customers are working with us to enhance their in-house training programs so their personnel can spot and attack areas of potential process improvement themselves.
For those of you who don't know me, I have been the North America business manager for Tornos U.S. since 2006 and have 26 years experience in the OEM manufacturing industry working directly with Swiss manufacturers for more than 16 years. I have directly managed service, applications, parts, IT and sales teams.
My focus has been strong on the machine support side, so I understand what it means when a customer is having difficulties and needs support. A target of mine is to focus on listening to our customers to help make my company a true partner, helping customers use all the tools available to remain competitive in today's market.
Tornos is developing new machines and processes that walk hand-in-hand with what our customers are going to need for maximum productivity down the line.
We've had a successful introduction of the EvoDECO into the U.S. and world market, so that product line is expanding. New technology is being introduced like the Cyklos, a modular piece of surface processing equipment that can handle anodizing, phosphating, electroplating, deburring and more.
But the big news in new product development is the MultiSwiss sliding headstock multi-spindle with a small footprint. It's basically a multi machine without the multi price tag and, for a lot of our customers' needs, it's a great fit. You can see all these modular, efficient, ergonomic products at IMTS 2012. We hope you'll come see us.

ADNOC to invest in E&P, technology and people: CEO
Sultan Al Jaber says by 2040, the world will require 25% more energy that is the equivalent of adding the current energy draw of North America and South America combined
The UAE, and particularly the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC), are focussing equally on operational efficiency and enhanced performance and is obliged to maintain targeted, investments in exploration, petrochemicals, technology and people, Dr Sultan bin Ahmad Sultan Al Jaber, UAE Minister of State and CEO of the ADNOC Group, has said.
''We do this, while maintaining an emphasis on long-term, value-driven partnerships,'' Al Jaber said in a keynote speech at the Egypt Petroleum Show (EGYPS) in Cairo on Tuesday.
The minister told the audience that global demand for energy is rapidly rising. By 2040, the world will require 25% more energy that is the equivalent of adding the current energy draw of North America and South America combined.
''Most of this new demand will come from non-OECD countries, which will account for two thirds of the world's energy consumption. And nearly 60% will be supplied by oil and gas,'' he said.
''The International Energy Agency estimates that some 25tn dollars in investment will be needed over this period to keep pace with this demand. That is a level of funding only possible through creative, productive partnerships between governments and the energy industry,'' he explained.
''Egypt has proven itself the ideal energy partner by establishing sound fiscal policies and a sensible regulatory framework that makes it easy for the likes of BP, ENI, Shell and Dana Gas to invest. These wise policies are now paying off, as Egypt has entered a golden age of hydrocarbon discovery,'' he stated.
In 2015, he added, the largest deposit of gas ever found in the Mediterranean Sea was discovered in Egypt's territorial waters with estimated reserves of 30tn cubic feet.
This, together with significant finds in the Nile Delta and the Western Desert have the potential to make Egypt not just energy independent but eventually a net exporter of natural gas.
''Egypt's new found hydrocarbon wealth, combined with sound economic policies are underwriting Egypt's growth and instilling investor confidence around the world. Egypt's stock market grew 76% last year," Al Jaber said.
"Last month's over-subscribed bond sale is powerful proof that global markets along with global institutions such as the IMF have deep faith in Egypt's future as an anchor of stability in the region,'' he indicated.

VIDEO: Recording from 1988 shows tour of old Carlton le Willows annexe
We found this short video which is bound to stir memories for those who attended Carlton le Willows school back in the 80s.
The video, which was recorded back in Spring 1988, takes a tour around Carlton Le Willows School annexe shortly after its closure.
All pupils who attended this school were moved down to the main complex on Wood Drive in Gedling.
The YouTube user 'bonearrowgroup' who posted the video online says: "This school had quite a history with many pupils over the years passing though it's doors.
He added: "It was often likened to Colditz on account of it's prison like interior and rumours of a ghost under or in the Gym persisted for many years."

Nope, that's not true, it should be, but it's not.
Those numbers above are what the income points would be for taxing Social Security Benefits if the original amounts from 1983 had been adjusted for inflation. The current amounts are shown below. These taxable points are one of the very few amounts in the tax code that are not indexed for inflation.
Lets think about this. Most people pay Social Security payroll taxes on 100% of their working income as do their employers Then many people pay income taxes on half of their Social Security benefits and that money also goes to help fund Social Security.
Some people, those with incomes above $34,000 a year (from all sources), are even luckier, they get to pay income tax on 85% of their SS benefits. [In theory at least these people are paying taxes on benefits they funded themselves given they funded half of the total benefit]. The taxes on the first 50% go to fund SS and the taxes on the remaining 15% go to help fund Medicare. These "wealthy" Americans pay twice for Social Security and three times for Medicare including premiums (premiums substantially higher than the average most likely).
It's all a giant tax shell game … and still all those taxes are not enough to keep Social Security and Medicare from going broke? Don't you just love government financing? And heck, why shouldn't we expand these programs as Sen Sanders and many others suggest?
Source: Social Security.gov.
No one pays federal income tax on more than 85 percent of his or her Social Security benefits based on Internal Revenue Service (IRS) rules. If you:
• file a federal tax return as an "individual" and your combined income *is
◦ between $25,000 and $34,000, you may have to pay income tax on up to 50 percent of your benefits.
◦ more than $34,000, up to 85 percent of your benefits may be taxable.
• file a joint return, and you and your spouse have a combined income *that is
◦ between $32,000 and $44,000, you may have to pay income tax on up to 50 percent of your benefits
◦ more than $44,000, up to 85 percent of your benefits may be taxable.
• are married and file a separate tax return, you probably will pay taxes on your benefits.
Your adjusted gross income
+ Nontaxable interest
+ ½ of your Social Security benefits
= Your " combined income"

It's not news that Americans are sleep-deprived — the recommended eight hours of shut-eye is, for many, a dream.
In fact, a new survey of 2,000 Americans say they want a "perfect" night of sleep so badly that they'd take a 10% pay cut for just one.
The survey, conducted by OnePoll on behalf of the bedding company Slumber Cloud, revealed that most averaged five hours and 43 minutes of shut-eye — so it's no surprise, then, that those polled say they spend nearly 20 hours a week "daydreaming about being in their bed."
According to the survey, 53% say they wish they could hibernate for six months, just to get their sle

Clinical and Health Services Research in Geriatrics and Palliative Care
We are engaged in a series of projects on the intersection of geriatric medicine and palliative medicine. This work focuses on chronic and serious illness, their associated functional and symptom burden, and interventions to improve care for these patients. This work has included studies of the effectiveness of models of innovative care delivery and their dissemination, as well as studies on methods to identify patients who would most likely benefit from these interventions.
Physicians and scientists on the faculty of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai often interact with pharmaceutical, device and biotechnology companies to improve patient care, develop new therapies and achieve scientific breakthroughs. In order to promote an ethical and transparent environment for conducting research, providing clinical care and teaching, Mount Sinai requires that salaried faculty inform the School of their relationships with such companies.

As the 2019-20 Western Hockey League's regular season approaches, two teams will be previewed each day leading up to the start of the regular season, Friday Sept. 20. Team capsules are presented in order of 2018-19 finish within their own division. Today, we take a look at the Central Division's Lethbridge Hurricanes.
General Manager: Peter Anholt
Head coach: Brent Kisio
Pre-season record: 1-2-1-0, Three points
2018-19 record: 40-18-5-5, 90 points – Second in Central Division, Sixth in WHL
2019 Playoffs: Lost in Eastern Conference Round One vs. Calgary Hitmen (4-3)
Top scorers: RW Nick Henry (29-65—94), C Dylan Cozens (34-50—84), C Jordy Bellerive (33-50—83)
20-year-olds: RW D-Jay Jerome (23-19—42), D Koletrane Wilson (0-19—19), D Ty Prefontaine (2-11—13)
Imports: LW Oliver Okuliar (Slovakia), D Danila Palivko (Belarus)
Forwards: Despite several key forward departures for the Lethbridge Hurricanes, there are options for the team to remain an offensive threat while growing for the next generation.
Dylan Cozens' growth and upward trajectory should see him take on a bigger part of the Hurricanes' offensive leadership this season. His 84 points (34G-50A) were the most by any skater in a Hurricanes jersey last season. Even with Cozens as a key holdover, Hurricanes General Manager Peter Anholt has his eye on fostering the team's next generation of talent.
"The big thing for us is that it's a bit of a transition year," Anholt said of his club. "After losing most of our leadership core, it really changes how people's roles change going into this year."
The Hurricanes' offence could also be aided by a productive campaign from Logan Barlage, whose 39 points (15G-24A) make him the team's next highest-scoring returning forward after Cozens. A key piece in a major deal with the Swift Current Broncos in 2018, Anholt acknowledged that Barlage had improved areas of his game that will make him more of a complete package.
The fourth-overall selection from the 2016 WHL Bantam Draft has a wealth of experience to date with 179 games of WHL regular season and playoff experience combined. An increased role comes with a chance for Barlage to develop his game, enough so that it might get him back on the radar for the NHL Draft in 2020 or 2021.
"Up front, a lot of those younger guys are really going to have to take the ball," Anholt said. "It's easy to earmark Cozens and Barlage I think because of their experience, but they're only 18-years-old.
"They're good players and we expect them to take a whole different step."
The team added to their forward depth in the first round of the 2017 and 2018 WHL Bantam Drafts, adding a pair of Albertan talents in Fort Saskatchewan's Noah Boyko and hometown product Zack Stringer, respectively. While both found different measures of success last season with the Hurricanes, the pair will be a growing part of that next wave of talent in Anholt's mind, centered firmly around the team's 2002 and 2003-born groups.
Still, the expectations for the younger forwards will be kept in check by Anholt and the team's staff.
"The big thing with us is we have to be careful on having too high expectations for him," Anholt said of Stringer. "I think when you look at Zack Stringer, his hockey sense is so exceptional. He has the ability to play with good players and good players want to play with him.
"That's a real credit to him."
The team also added another first-round WHL Bantam Draft pick to their roster in the off-season, acquiring Tyson Phare from the Prince George Cougars. Planning to utilize the Maple Ridge, B.C. product in the team's forward group, he could prove to be another key addition.
In what could be an underrated move to boost the team's offence, the addition of Slovakian winger Oliver Okuliar from the 2019 CHL Import Draft should provide a boost to the team's offence. Okuliar's first season in North American saw the 2000-born forward post 42 points (14G-28A) in 66 games with the Sherbrooke Phoenix of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL). He'll face a number of strong defences within his own division and conference as he transitions to the WHL, but replicating last season's production in a new campaign for the Hurricanes would be another significant boost.
Defence: Starting the season with two overage defenders is the right path to take in the short term. With the team's core of younger forwards pressing for more ice time and learning greater roles, having reliable presences on the blue line will aid the team over the coming season.
Ty Prefontaine and Koletrane Wilson bring a pair of intimidating 6-foot-4 frames to the top of the team's defensive structure. While Addison has the offensive element to his game as well, Prefontaine and Wilson may yet benefit from the increased roles, though the pair have tended to utilize their defensive skills first while finding their offensive opportunities where it permits.
At 6-foot-6, the 203-pound import Danila Palivko should add more value in his second full season with the Hurricanes.
Of course, the anchor to the team's blue line will continue to be Addison for another season. The Brandonite is a rising prospect within the Pittsburgh Penguins' organization and is a model for consistency. He posted back-to-back seasons of 65 points (11G-54A), matching his totals in the 2017-18 and 2018-19 campaigns. He's also played a minimum of 63 regular season games in each of the last three campaigns while contributing the the team's last four runs in the WHL Playoffs.
"Our backend, we've got a lot of experience, but all those guys have to take a whole different step," Anholt said. "Addison should be one of the better defencemen in the league and then we've got three 2001-born that really have to take a step."
Having already appeared in two regular season games, Swift Current, Sask. product Joe Arntsen has already created an impression and could be set to spend his first full WHL season in southern Alberta. As a rookie in the Saskatchewan Midget AAA Hockey League last season, Arntsen posted 15 points (6G-9A) in 39 games with the Swift Current Legionnaires. He also represented his province at the 2019 Canada Winter Games in Red Deer, Alta. and will bring experience to a young role on the team's blue line.
"Arntsen has been a real nice surprise as far as a 16-year-old," Anholt said. "He's a man already. We're really pleased there."
As a team that's operated under the mantra of the best defence being a good offence, the Hurricanes will see a benefit in committing more to the defensive side of the game as competition within the division improves.
Goal: The 2018-19 season was an unconventional year between the pipes in the Central Division as a plethora of changes took place among the division's six teams. That was the case in Lethbridge as Carl Tetachuk stepped up in his rookie season to shine and be the team's backbone.
Appearing in 37 games during the regular season, Tetachuk posted a 24-9-1-1 record with a 2.88 goals-against average, .909 save percentage, and two shutouts. That included winning his final seven games to aid the Hurricanes push down the stretch as they made a bid for the division title. Pretty good for a hometown kid that was passed over in the 2016 WHL Bantam Draft.
In the end, the Hurricanes' vision of a long playoff run wasn't meant to be, but in a year of widespread change, the team's crease should remain relatively stable. The goal for Tetachuk will be proving that last year wasn't just a standalone performance and that he's capable of handling the majority of the starts once again.
"Starting in goal, I think we're at a point where we're going to continue to develop the goaltenders we have," Anholt said. "I don't really want to go outside to find another goaltender and I think that both Tetachuk and Thompson are ready to take the ball.
"We're content there."
In supporting Tetachuk, the team also has high hopes for Bryan Thomson, a product of Moose Jaw, Sask. that the Hurricanes took in the second round of the 2017 WHL Bantam Draft.
Having earned three victories from his first five regular season appearances, it's still too early to gauge Thomson's ability to thrive at the WHL level, but fans and his team should get a better look this coming season in the backup role.
Player to Watch: There's not much more to say about Dylan Cozens, but his skill at the center position will take the main spotlight for the Hurricanes this season.
After ranking second in scoring among draft-eligible players in the WHL, Cozens could easily be one of the top-tier offensive talents in the league and will be on the radar for Canada's National Junior Team.
His 15-game point streak came to an end on the final game of the regular season, but that didn't slow down the Whitehorse, Yukon product. Cozens added eight points (4G-4A) in all seven of his team's games during the 2019 WHL Playoffs and was only held off the score sheet once in the series.
While Cozens his risen through the ranks in recent years, there was always the experienced core of forwards to help drive that offence. Now, Cozens is in that position, ready to make the younger players around him better. This will provide a true indicator of Cozens' skills going forward.
Prognosis: While the Hurricanes enjoyed the upside of a deep roster last season, they've had to deal with the less fun part of that situation in seeing a strong off-season exodus as the likes of captain Jordy Bellerive, as well as Jake Leschyshyn and Nick Henry depart for the professional ranks.
The team also immediately lost three key overage talents in forwards Taylor Ross, Jake Elmer as well as import defenceman Igor Merezhko.
In saying that, the team's key additions came up from in the form of a pair of trades with the Victoria Royals. Both Dino Kambeitz and hometown product D-Jay Jerome will soften the blow to the Hurricanes' offence. The addition of the import Okuliar can't be understated either. As well, a strong rookie season from Zack Stringer would be a shot in the arm of the Hurricanes' chances.
"It's a situation here where similar to what we did a few years ago where we turned the team over," Anholt said.
Back then, the Hurricanes handed the reins of the team to the likes of Tyler Wong, Giorgio Estephan, and Stuart Skinner. Now, Anholt is hoping the next generation can be just as good, if not better.
If Tetachuk performs at or very close to the level he was at last season, talking about the Hurricanes as a playoff team isn't a far-fetched idea. However, where they are in the playoff seeding will have a lot to do with the performances of the Calgary Hitmen and Edmonton Oil Kings, two of the divisional favourites.
"I don't think there's any doubt in my mind that both Calgary and Edmonton are a step above everybody else in our division," Anholt said. "Those two teams are going to battle it out for top spot in our division. With our club, we should be able to compete with the rest of the group within our division; at least I'm hoping so."
On paper, the Hurricanes can consider themselves leaders established talent among the other four Central Division teams, but they'll need to prove that throughout the full season in order to make any playoff hopes a reality.

Illuminated drift gillnets could help reduce bycatch
WASHINGTON, D.C.—Installing LED lights onto a drift gillnet could be one way to reduce bycatch of sea turtles and other protected species, according to a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Fisheries report.
Illuminating nets with LED lights could help increase its visibility to protected species and, accordingly, reduce bycatch of gillnet fisheries. Fishers and NOAA scientists are testing the illuminated nets.
"Studies comparing 'control' or traditional nets with illuminated nets show that nets made more visible with simple LED lights can reduce bycatch of sea turtles without reducing target catch," NOAA staff stated in a report. "Studies in Mexico show green sea turtle bycatch is reduced between 40-60 percent with no changes in target catch. Studies in Peru show green sea turtle bycatch is reduced between 65-80 percent with no changes in target catch.
"Studies in Indonesia show green, olive ridley and hawksbill sea turtle bycatch is reduced by 60 percent with increases of target catch and catch value," the NOAA report continued.
Lighting up drift gillnets would be beneficial to several species that otherwise become victims of bycatch, such as seabirds, sharks, rays, skates, sawfish, dolphins, porpoises, whales and sea turtles.
NOAA scientists are also researching whether the use of sound could help prevent certain species from becoming entangled with a drift gillnet.
"Scientists are also investigating the effectiveness of sound as a deterrent. They have equipped nets with audio devices that emit an acoustic signal to alert turtles to the net and deter them," NOAA staff stated in its recently published report. "The next step is to combine the two existing approaches—lights and sound—into one gillnet experiment, to see if this combination can reduce bycatch even more."
New bycatch reduction techniques are being studied in Pakistan, Gabon, Turkey, Ecuador and the Adriatic Sea (Italy, Slovenia and Croatia).

Sheth Foundation Doctoral Dissertation Competition at EMAC 2018: Tetyana Kosyakova wins 3rd place
New generations of marketing experts are crucial to develop the theories and tools that shape the future of our field. The EMAC/Sheth Foundation Doctoral Dissertation Competition recognizes and encourages this emerging talent. This distinguished award will be presented in 2018 for the second time. Three finalists will be honored with cash prizes and the opportunity to present their work at the EMAC 47th Annual Conference in Glasgow, UK.
Tetyana Kosyakova, Goethe University Frankfurt, Germany "Measuring Substitution and Complementarity Among Offers in Menu Based Choice Experiments"
Choice experiments designed to extend beyond the classic application of choice among perfect substitutes have become popular in marketing research. In these experiments, often referred to as menu-based choice, respondents face choice sets that may comprise substitutes, complements, and offers that provide utility independently, or any mixture of these three types.
The inferential challenge posed by data from such experiments is in the calibration of utility functions that accommodate a mix of substitutes, complements, and "independent" offers.
Moreover, while a prior understanding of the product categories under study may, for example, suggest that two offers in a set are essentially perfect substitutes, this may not be true for all respondents. To address these challenges, we combine Besag's (1972, 1974) autologistic choice model with a flexible hierarchical prior structure. We explain from first principles how the autologistic choice model improves on the multivariate probit model, and on models that include cross-price effects in the utility function. We develop Bayesian inference for the autologistic choice model, including its intractable normalizing constant and find empirical support for our model in a menu based conjoint experiment investigating demand for game consoles and accessories. We illustrate implications for optimal pricing.

Parsing OpenSSH keys in Rust
Recently I had a need to parse some OpenSSH certificate keys, and since it's been a while since I've written anything in Rust I thought I'd dive into the language again and create a library for parsing OpenSSH certificates in it.
A quick check in crates.io didn't show any crates that currently support OpenSSH certificates, so I was good to go.
There are in existence a few crates for parsing of OpenSSH public keys, but they all are at this time of writing incomplete, since they support just a few of the types a public key can be.
I was quickly able to create a prototype that was able to parse an OpenSSH certificate, so it was time to polish a bit the code, add tests to it, and finally publish it on crates.io
Fast forward a few weeks later I've published the sshkeys crate.
The crate can now parse all currently supported OpenSSH public key types.
In addition to that it also supports parsing of OpenSSH certificates, which was the primary goal of this project in the first place.
- email@example.com
- email@example.com
- email@example.com
- firstname.lastname@example.com
- firstname.lastname@example.com
- firstname.lastname@example.com
The code is available on Github and also as a crate published on crates.io.
The library is well tested and comes with documentation, which you can either read online here or build and read locally by executing the command below.
cargo doc --open
The crate also comes with examples which you can view and run.
The examples/certificate.rs example shows how to parse an OpenSSH certificate key.
This is what the examples/certificate.rs file looks like.
extern crate sshkeys;
fn main() {
let cert = sshkeys::Certificate::from_path("examples/id_ed25519-cert.pub").unwrap();
println!("Type: {} {}", cert.key_type.name, cert.cert_type);
println!("Public key: {}", cert.key);
println!("Signing CA: {}", cert.signature_key);
println!("Key ID: {}", cert.key_id);
println!("Serial: {}", cert.serial);
println!("Valid from {} to {}", cert.valid_after, cert.valid_before);
for p in cert.valid_principals {
println!("\t{}", p);
println!("Critical Options:");
for (name, value) in cert.critical_options {
println!("\t{} {}", name, value);
for (name, _) in cert.extensions {
println!("\t{}", name);
We can run this example by using
cargo and the
--example option.
cargo run --example certificate
And this is the output we get from our example program.

The good news is that service perceptions will not be getting worse.

I live in a separated 4 bedroom house in a 13 house multi development (for lack of a better word), all stand alone but sharing a common driveway and mailbox.
I recently inquired as to whether we were eligible for a hopper for recycling as currently we have 8 recycling bins for 13 houses, and a waste hopper.
My reply was
"Thank you for your email regarding waste assets at your unit complex. On our database, I have 14 units recorded at this address.
You have a 3m3 waste hopper & your entitlement for recycling MGB's would be 5. If you have 8 on site, your body corporate must be paying for an extra service. Id you require more MGB's for recycling, the cost is $53.40 per bin per year.
Your strata manager would be able to order more online if you require."
Im told the following guidelines:
"Waste is worked out the same, 140ltrs of waste per unit, per week. Complex's over 10 units have a hopper service for waste, but the allowance is still the same."
"Recycling is worked out differently, 1 x 240ltr bin per 3 residences. Unfortunately, I cannot give you a hopper for recycling or bins for waste. If you require extra recycling bins, your strata manager can request them online for a fee."
Has anyone else come across silly legislation like this? I find it crazy that we can throw out as much as we want, but only recycle once a week(till the bins fill up)

Happy Sunday!!
I finally got paid this week, which was the excited part of this week!! I'm super happy to be making money again and getting back into the swing of things. This week at work I was more independent which made me both nervous but also less scared at when I was answering phone call because I didn't have someone listening to me. I still have to get more used to talking on the phones without it making me nervous! On my days off, I just stayed at home with my sister. We have decided to do more productive things while we are home so that we don't get super lazy. What are some things you do on days off to keep busy?
Overall this week has been a normal work week with nothing too exciting going on.
So now onto my favorite pictures from Instagram this week!
Those are some of my favorite pictures from Instagram, I think my favorite is the bedroom one, it's total goals!! I hope everyone had a great week, did something exciting happen?

Mystery of the Cockatoo
With its religious iconography and ornate throne, the 15th century painting Madonna della Vittoria by Andrea Mantegna seems a typical Italian Renaissance work – apart, that is, from the appearance of an Australasian cockatoo in the background.
The discovery of an animal more closely associated with suburban Sydney than Venice is leading historians into a rethink of early trading networks into Europe.
The painting, completed by Mantegna in 1496 and now hanging in the Louvre, clearly shows what appears to be a sulphur-crested cockatoo perched above Mary, mother of Jesus. It is unclear how Mantegna included a bird found in New Guinea and Australia, given that trading routes to Europe were not clearly established at the time.
Dr. Heather Dalton, a historian at the University of Melbourne, first noticed the presence of the cockatoo ten years ago and has been working to confirm the bird's identity for an analysis that has now been published.
"I was flicking through a book of paintings and thought 'what is that?'" she said. "Other art historians noted it was unusual but didn't really explore it. Everyone I've spoken to on this has said it absolutely is a sulphur-crested cockatoo. It's taken ten years because I've wanted to be sure."
Dalton said Mantegna could have somehow obtained a picture of a cockatoo to copy but there is good reason to believe he had a live bird.
"It's so realistic, looking straight ahead at you, relaxed," she said. "This is unusual because later paintings of cockatoos in the 17th century showed them sideways, with the crest erect, because they were dead. These cockatoos can live for more than 60 years so it could've lasted the journey along the Silk Road routes, which would've taken years. It would've been included as a symbol of luxury and to show the wealth of the family who commissioned it."
Dalton said there is no other evidence of cockatoos in Europe at this time, although other parrots were venerated at the time as being second only to humans in the animal kingdom due to their ability to talk.
The cockatoo could have been transported from Australia or eastern Indonesia via China, altering what was previously known of trading routes to Europe.
"We know sea cucumbers were traded from the 17th century from Arnhem land but not the area where these cockatoos were," said Dalton. "The Ming Dynasty in China in the 1430s curtailed trade which forced traders to look to trade into India and the Middle East, which could then go on to Venice. This could explain why the cockatoo got to Venice. Whether it's from Australia or Timor, it still challenges everything we know. I think lots of people will be looking at these paintings more closely now."

It was an incredibly exciting day yesterday for visitors to An Tobar Community Wellness Centre and Social Farm in Silverbridge who hosted President Michael D Higgins and his wife Mrs Sabina Higgins.
There was a festive atmosphere as around 120 invited guests gathered yesterday afternoon for the President's arrival at around 5pm. A guard of honour was provided by pupils of St Joseph's High School Crossmaglen.
Earlier the President and his wife had attended the opening of a new school in Dungannon, Co Tyrone.
The President was invited to South Armagh by Mrs Una Walsh as part of the International Women's Day celebrations. An Tobar which is a new social enterprise based at Finnegan's Nursery & Garden Centre, Silverbridge was the chosen venue for the visit as the President is a passionate environmentalist and advocate of community development and social inclusion.
The Presidential party was welcomed by Una Walsh and Kathleen Finnegan. Despite the pouring rain President Higgins took the time to shake hands with each of the pupils in the guard of honour before proceeding indoors.
Guests included many of the social farming and social and therapeutic horticulture participants who attend services at An Tobar CIC, as well as the An Tobar Team, the Finnegan family and some of their friends and neighbours. Residents of Glencarron Nursing Home, Crossmaglen and Dealgan House, Dundalk also waited to greet the President.
Mrs Una Walsh welcomed the President and his wife to South Armagh and expertly entralled the visitors with a brief account of the rich heritage and history of Silverbridge and the surrounding Slieve Gullion and South Armagh area, while the local crowd looked on proudly.
Kathleen Finnegan continued by welcoming the Presidential party on behalf of the Finnegan family and the An Tobar team on what was she declared a 'proud and historical day for Silverbridge and South Armagh.
She also thanked Una for all her dedication and hard work in the community and for organising such a prestidious event .
Kathleen Finnegan described how she and her sister Margaret's desire to 'give back to the community' had led to them setting up An Tobar CIC in April 2018, having spent almost 30 years in the retail garden centre business.
"People for years have been telling us how therapeutic it is here and how being here made them feel good.
"When we opened Libby's Tearoom in 2015 we were pleasantly surprised to find that it quickly became a real social hub for the local community. We began to see the place through other people's eyes and we realised that here was a wonderful opportunity to give back to the community.
"And so here we are now, living that dream and making it a reality.
"The name An Tobar means the well or wellspring and comes from a well on the farm which was locally regarded as a healing well.
"The name reflects our aim which is to improve the health and wellbeing of the community. Our aim is for people to feel connected and included, tell their stories and build communities."
Speaking about events at An Tobar Kathleen said "Our social and community events aim to bring people of all ages and abilities together. We believe that every individual should be treated with respect and feel included.
"I could quote statistic after statistic about deprivation in this area, about health inequalities and lack of access to services in South Armagh. But instead I want to focus on today as a day of celebration, to acknowledge all of our participants, to celebrate their individuality and uniqueness and the joy they bring to An Tobar every day.
"I can honestly say that it is both a privelage and a pleasure to come to work alongside these people every day. The President and Mrs Higgins will have the opportunity to meet all our participants and see their work."
Describing the working week at An Tobar Kathleen added "Mondays and Wednesdays are social farming days. We have six adults over the two days who come to experience a working day on a real working farm. This provision will be increased to three days per week from next month. Thank you to Aoibeann Walsh of Rural Support NI and the Southern Health & Social Care Trust for this contract.
"Thursdays and Fridays are community gardening days where we work with groups of adults and children.
"Saturdays are for the Kids Gardeing & Cookery Club with children from 2-11 years old, some of whom are also here today.
"In between all of this we work on educational gardening projects with around 500 children from 11 local schools. We provide social and therapeutic horticulture to elderly people (many of who have dementia) in Care Homes in Warrenpoint, Dundalk and Crossmaglen."
They also run adult gardening classes, mindfulness and social events.
It is scientifically proven that working with plants or animals brings about positive changes in people's lives, including improved physical and mental health. Social and therapeutic horticulture uses the garden as a safe environment where the individual can develop his or her ability to socialise, make friends, gain practical skills, leading to greater independence and self-reliance.
At An Tobar the garden offer the peace and tranquility needed for rehabilitation and recovery. People feel better just from being outside and in touch with nature.
This idea of our attraction to nature or the 'biophilia effect' was developed by Harvard Professor Edward O Wilson. He believed that as human beings this attraction is in our genes and more recent studies reveal that our physical health actually depends upon the influences of nature.
This was something that was inherrently known by our ancestors, something which we as a modern society have perhaps lost.
This disconnect with nature is detrimental to our physical and mental health and also places our global environment in jeopardy.
Kathleen continued "A Uachtarian, we share the values you have espoused for your second term as President. We also applaud you for the work you have done over the last fifty years for community and environment.
"I have borrowed some of your own words, if I may?,
''We need new models and innovative thinking based on deeper and better connections between economy, society, ecology and culture''
"At An Tobar we hope to emulate the values you promote, the principles of 'equality, participation, inclusion, imagination, creativity and sustainability'' We are proud to be a tiny part of the global social enterprise movement.
"Social enterprises are businesses that are changing the world for the better, reinvesting their profits or surpluses, to create positive social change.
"I would like to extend special thanks to Mr Stephen McClelland of the Newry & Mourne Co-operative and Enterprise Agency for his invaluable help, advice and mentoring over the last year , as he helped our An Tobar dream become a reality."
An Tobar is creating an extensive native woodland on six hectares of their farmland, which will comprise of almost 13,000 native trees. This forestry expansion scheme is funded by DAERA and will be planted by Carolyn Trimble and her team from Indiwoods Ltd. The Woodland Trust have also contributed to the project.
Kathleen added "The Woodland is to be named Brian's Wood after my mother's two brother's who died in infancy. We feel that it is fitting to remember their short lives and of all of those who have gone before us as well as leaving a legacy for future generations. Northern Ireland is the least wooded region in Europe.
"It is said that at one time the red squirrel, now an endangered species, could travel from Glassdrummond Wood, four miles south-west of here all the way to Slieve Gullion without touching the ground.
"In our small way we hope to restore some of this natural environment, creating much needed natural habitats as well as providing a valuble community space and tourist destination.
"As I have said, today is a celebration of our participants and they are the heroes of the An Tobar story.
"Yesterday I received a lovely letter from Shane Lyddy, owner of the Glencarron Nursing Home, Crossmaglen about one of their residents who comes to An Tobar every week and the huge difference this experience has made to him, and the positive effect on his life, his mood and social skills"
President Higgins then gave an enthusiastic impromptu speech in Irish and in English expressing his pleasure at being in Silverbridge and praising the work of An Tobar. He described his passionate interests in biodiversity and the environment as well as community development. President Higgin said "I'm so pleased to be here and to thank you all, to pay tribute to all who work here." President Higgins added "I wish all of the participants every success and happiness into the future and may you have the peace and tranquility that all of this place makes possible and that every blessing fall on those who made the decision to make this possible."
The President and Mrs Higgins were given a tour of the courtyard, polytunnels and community gardens and spent time chatting to the participants and observing their work. The children and older people were excited to show off the colourful spring containers they were planting up for sale. All proceeds from plant sales and tearoom sales are reinvested to fund community projects.
In one of the polytunnels the pupils from St Joseph's enthusiastically showed the President and Mrs Higgins the raised beds they had built themselves, filled with soil and begun spring planting of vegetables and herbs.
The social farming participants gave a demonstration of their skills with the log-splitting machine much to the delight of the President and his wife.
President Higgins and Mrs Higgins concluded their historic tour with a tree planting ceremony. They each planted a young native tree, (a rowan and an oak) which will take pride of place as the first two trees in Brian's Wood.
During the planting the audience were delighted by a beautiful rendition of traditional music which duly impressed President Higgins as he remarked upon the excellent playing of the violin by Mrs Bernie Muckian.
Afterwards, the couple retired to Libby's Tearoom where Louise O' Rourke, Marie Mooney and all the staff had laid on a delicious afternoon tea. Over a well-earned cup of tea the Presidential party were once again treated to some beautiful music with singers Colleen Savage, Blaithin McCann accompanied by Brendan O' Sullivan.
A presentation was made to the President and Mrs Higgins by local artist Sharon Donnelly Carragher, a beautiful ceramic work depicting the majestic Ring of Gullion and Ballykeel Dolmen. Sharon and woodturner husband Padraig Carragher , who are proprietors of Bluebell Lane Glamping are part of ROGHA, a local group of talented artists and craftspeople.
Rosie Finnegan-Bell and her daughter Libby presented a piece of her own Carrickmacross lace. Rosie teaches lace-making as part of a local movement to preserve the tradition of Carrickmacross lace-making in the South Armagh area. Rosie also presented a lace brooch to Una Walsh as a token of apprecition from An Tobar for her efforts in organising the Presidential visit.
After tea the visitors mingled once more with audience and posed for photographs.
The crowd cheered and applauded as the couple waved goodbye from their departing car.
The garden centre and tearooms at An Tobar are open Tuesday to Saturday from 10am to 4.30 pm and are run as part of the overall not-for-profit social enterprise, with all profits re-invested in community programmes.
An Tobar CIC offers a neutral venue without affiliation to politics or religion, providing community services for people of all ages and abilities . These include a range of community activities, classes , social and cultural events to promote community health and wellbeing.
