Quaker Oats has introduced a new line of gluten-free oatmeal in the US market.
New Quaker gluten-free oatmeal will be available as Quaker Quick one-minute standard oats in an 18oz canister, and Quaker instant oatmeal in single-serve pouches in two different flavours: original, and maple and brown sugar. Clearly labelled as gluten-free, the delicious and nutrition oats will help consumers who are intolerant to gluten to still get the fibre to fill them up and whole grains to support their heart health – as well as the great taste of traditional Quaker Oats.
The PepsiCo-owned brand said that, while oats are naturally gluten-free, stray wheat, rye, barley and spelt may be introduced during the farming, storing and transportation of the regular product Quaker has used its expertise to remove stray grains to deliver high-quality oats that meet FDA standards for gluten free.
Quaker Foods senior vice-president Becky Frankiewicz said: "At Quaker, we're always striving to deliver products that meet families' evolving needs. Requests for gluten free oats have been among the top inquiries from our consumers for the past several years.
"Our expert millers are the best and most passionate in the business, and they've taken the time and extreme care to develop great-tasting, gluten free offerings in which consumers can be confident."
The new gluten-free oats will be available across the US from this month.

Back to School Safety Tips for Drivers
- September 13, 2018
- Car Accidents
We are still in the heat of summer in Texas, but it will be over before you know it! September is when most children head back to school. It is important for children, parents and drivers to remember some critical safety tips for pedestrians, bikers, and bus riders. Our pedestrian, bicycle and bus accident lawyers at Guajardo & Marks hope that all readers review these important safety guidelines offered by the National Safety Council to keep children safe and healthy throughout the year.
Getting to School
Whether a child takes the bus, rides their bike or walks to school, they need to remember these tips. Drivers also need to keep an eye out for all children who are on their way to school. It is estimated that 19 school age children are killed in school bus-related accidents per year, and more die in pedestrian accidents. If everyone does their part, all children can get where they need to go safely.
- Children should always walk to school on the sidewalk. If there is not a sidewalk, then walk in the street but face traffic.
- Before crossing the street, the child should look left, right and left again. Drivers should never speed in designated school zones.
- Children should never run in front of traffic, and drivers should be watching for children in school zones.
- No one – neither children nor drivers – should text or talk on a cell phone when they are walking/driving.
- Children should never be walking with headphones on.
Bike Riders
- All riders should have an approved helmet that is properly fitted.
- Bikers must ride on the right side of the road. Drivers should give them at least three feet of clearance.
- Watch out for drivers who may change lanes without warning or open doors into a bicyclist.
- Wear bright colored clothes. Drivers should be always looking for children going to school on a bike during the morning and afternoon in school zones.
Bus Riders
- Children should use caution when getting on and off a bus. Drivers must stop for buses when red lights are flashing.
- Seat belts should be worn on the bus if available.
- Students should walk no less than 10 feet in front of the bus.
Generally, drivers must watch carefully for children who are walking, riding a bike or taking a bus to school. Remember not to block the crosswalk, and to always yield to anyone in a crosswalk. When you are stopping behind or near a school bus, keep an eye out for small children at all times.
Was Your Child Injured On the Way To School? Call An Attorney Now.
The school year will start soon. This time of year has a higher number of child injuries and deaths as they are traveling to and from school. If your child has been hurt or killed by a negligent driver, you should remember that you could be entitled to compensation in a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit. The attorneys at Guajardo & Marks can help you get the compensation you deserve. Call us now for more information.

Chocolate has a history of more than a century. Since then he has become more popular and become the food most favored of human beings. The cocoa taste has a huge influence of humans. So they love chocolates. However, not all chocolates are not only cocoa. There are chocolates like chocolate bar that contains Chocolove 33% to 55% cocoa with other ingredients. Even almonds can be found in some varieties of Chocolove. This difference in taste chocolates are the most favored one. Companies like Bonnat chocolate are coming up with different varieties, even in dark chocolates. This vast world of chocolate has no limit. Day after day new flavors are coming into the market. Callebaut milk chocolate has even opened an academy of chocolate, where the chocolate mixture has been taught. It includes the selection to the right of cocoa powder at various mixing techniques. Professionals coming out of Callebaut chocolate academy prepares new varieties of chocolates.
When the chocolates were at the stage of introduction, there were not many varieties to choose from. Later, milk chocolates came on the market. It became a hit with children. As milk chocolate contains almost all the milk proteins, many parents prefer milk chocolates for their children. Thus, children were able to get all the nutrients they need and can also enjoy the taste.
As time passed, there were more takers for the chocolates. People belonging to all age groups in the habit of eating chocolates. Then, the factory had to take care of many things such as diabetics, etc. that led to the introduction of hot chocolate and sugar-free chocolates. Even companies like chocolate Patric Chocolate have developed these types of chocolates in good health, which can be consumed by anyone. Opening of institutions such as Callebaut has functioned as catalysts for this development. Professionals, who have been trained in the manufacture of chocolates found place in various societies. Companies were also favorable to their innovative ideas. Thus, the types of chocolate bars Chocolove entered the market.
In any type of chocolate, the main ingredient is cocoa and it is very important to choose the good for the cocoa mix. The cocoa taste varies depending on soil and weather conditions of where it is growing. This is why most companies like Bonnat are buying cocoa from a single location. Institutions such as Callebaut chocolate academy provide appropriate training for many people. With the support of such features, the chocolate market will win in the near future. As customers, we can also enjoy varieties of chocolates increasingly come on the market.

Ashley Banjo has hit back at critics who are claiming he is not qualified to be a judge on Dancing on Ice.
The Diversity founder will appear on the judging panel of the revival series when it returns to ITV on Sunday (January 7).
Appearing on Lorraine earlier today (January 2), Ashley was asked whether he is qualified to be on the panel since he does not have professional figure skating experience.
In response, Ashley said "skating is only one element" the judges will be scoring the contestants on, and that his experience in one of the world's most famous dance troupes more them qualifies him to be on that panel.
"The public are really smart and the thing about the British public is they're not going to be voting for the best ice skater but someone who is entertaining," he said.
"There's so much involved in it – musicality, dance, performance – that skating is only one element of it.
"But I do love skating, I've done it since I was small even though I've never done it professionally."
During his appearance, Ashley also revealed how things are shaping up ahead of the series debut this weekend.
"As a panel it feels really rounded," he added.
"It's new, it's fresh and the production is excellent so it's going to be good."

Is there a way to turn on the fan without using the AC (or the heater) ?
It's been so cool (and wet!) here in Ohio that even the AC in the house remains off.
Just make sure the light on the TEMP knob is not illuminated. Press the button at the bottom center of the TEMP knob to turn the light on or off. If the light is lit, the car will try to adjust the car's cabin temperature to the desired temperature. The desired preset temperature is set by rotating the TEMP knob CCW or CW depending if you want higher or lower temperatures. The preset temperature will be displayed in the upper left corner of the screen in the center of the dash.

This is a fabulous book; I'd highly recommend it. Although it is a British publication (and covers a few issues unique to the UK), it is very informative, and clear. It has excellent explanations for many health issues, disease, etc. Has good graphics and photos also. It is the only in-depth "professional" sheep vet book I have at this time, and I have learned a tremendous amount from it. Definitely worth the money.

Should I Borrow From My 401K? Only If You Are A Petulant Fool – Should I Borrow From My 401K? Only If You Are A Petulant Fool.. If the options in your 401k plan are crap, and you can borrow the money at Prime + 1% currently 4.25% and then invest the money in well diversified index ETF's or Mutual funds then pay yourself back the loaned money and keep.
taking a loan against 401k for a house
Should I take a loan against my 401(k)? – I'm short of cash and thinking of raiding my. borrowing to buy a house, in which case you may get as long as 10 to 30 years. The rate is usually one to two percentage points above the prime.
Tapping Your 401K to Buy a House Is Tempting But Risky – As an illustration, you want to buy a house for $200,000 and have only $10,000 in cash to put down. Without mortgage insurance, lenders will advance only $160,000 on a first mortgage, leaving you $30,000 short. One possible source of the needed $30,000 is your 401K account.
401k loan rules | Know What You're Getting Into Before You. – If you are using the money to buy a house, however, the length of the loan could be longer.

This morning I came across a recipe for zucchini brownies on this blog. You know that I have to try it. We were just talking about zucchini recipes at our homelearner beach day yesterday and had talked about cookies and chocolate cake but I'd never thought of brownies with zucchini. Can't wait to taste them.
We also had our first taste of corn from a friend's garden. This is the stuff that we filled our freezer with last year and I think I can say it is the most delicious corn I have ever had. I am a serious corn on the cob lover. This cob is my "test cob", I am a firm believer that it is very important for the cook - that's me - to test the corn before serving it to others. I do this at each meal just to make sure that it is tasty enough for others. It is quite a sacrifice on my part but I am willing to do it for my family.
Of course I still have a cob with my meal as well. :-

Supporting a Unique New Approach
for Reducing Homelessness and Poverty
in Albuquerque
Concerned citizens and community leaders came together October 27, 2019 to support a unique new approach for reducing homelessness and poverty in Albuquerque.
Saffron Strand organized the 2019 Wine Tasting & Silent Auction to raise funds for opening the Saffron Strand Training Center in Albuquerque. The Center is going to help the city's homeless and poorest residents gain skills needed in the local economy so they can get back to work in jobs that build careers.
Our venue was the Grand Hall at National Hispanic Cultural Center, which helped to sponsor this enjoyable and inspiring fundraising event.
Fundraising continues, so your secure, tax-deductible donation will help us start up the Training Center in Albuquerque. Please contact Saffron Strand for more information: firstname.lastname@example.com
In addition to delicious wine, our guests at the Wine Tasting & Silent Auction enjoyed:
- Scrumptious hors d'oeuvres and tapas from Saffron Strand's "pop-up kitchen," which was one of the secrets to our decade of success getting the homeless off the streets and back to work in the Bay Area of California
- Albuquerque's Le Chat Lunatique, who brought their unique Burque jazz style that crosses many genres, blending Western swing, classical, reggae, doo-wop, and more
Also, three dynamic community leaders spoke, focusing on key issues related to homelessness and poverty in the upcoming electoral ballot initiatives:
Debbie O'Malley, Bernalillo County Commissioner
For 30 years, Debbie O'Malley, has fought for good jobs, mental health and substance abuse services, and affordable housing for Albuquerque's families and workers. As Bernalillo County Commissioner for District 1, she sponsored the County's Tiny Home Village Project, noting that homelessness was a growing problem in Bernalillo County: "The Tiny Home Village will provide a safe and secure housing opportunity for those individuals in need. This project will also help to stabilize and positively impact the neighborhood in which it resides." Now serving her second term, she has continued to push for more safe and secure housing for the chronically homeless. She has pointed out that when those who receive housing also have the skills for rewarding employment, then their exit from homelessness is much more likely to succeed.
Ilse Biel, Activist and Advocate for the Homeless
In 2014 and 2015, Ilse Biel worked alongside the residents of Tent City who refused to disperse from the unsanctioned encampment, which managed to sustain itself for almost a year in various locations and under abject conditions with few resources. However, the camp and the intense media and neighborhood attention it elicited redirected the discourse on Albuquerque people experiencing housing instability. Ilse has noted that the Housing First approach "skews expectations and aspirations towards a particular mode of dwelling while excluding—and, in fact, demeaning and/or criminalizing—more realistically achievable forms of homes." A member of the Tiny Home Village Project, Ilse has characterized Housing First as "a call to Stability First" and asked, "What could such a reinterpretation of the model look like and mean within the Albuquerque landscape?"
Rev. Amani Malaika, Albuquerque Center for Spiritual Living
Rev. Amani Malaika's fascination with spiritual traditions, the soul, and life's mysteries has been life long. In her own seeking and studies she has become a true believer in the divine nature of all human beings. As the Senior Minister of Albuquerque Center for Spiritual Living she is able to serve any who seek to know the magnificence that they are. She invites each person to join in transforming their individual life and the world around us: ""We are a spiritual community committed to spiritual inspiration, education, and practices that lead to transformed lives and communities…. We hold a vision for a world that works for everyone."
Albuquerque absolutely needs the Saffron Strand Training Center. More than 95,000 city residents (17%) have income below the official poverty level. More than 44,000 (8%) get by on income that is only 50% of the poverty level (City-Data.com).
It's not surprising that thousands are homeless sometime during the year and many thousands more are constantly at risk. Albuquerque's poorest of the poor are desperate and vulnerable. They are often the victims of crime. They're so desperate they sometimes perpetrate criminal acts themselves, which contributes to the city's high crime rate.
We know that most homeless and at-risk persons want the dignity, respect, and trust that goes with legitimate, rewarding employment. But to succeed, they first must have the necessary "soft" skills and technical skills to achieve and sustain jobs that pay a living wage.
The Saffron Strand Training Center in Albuquerque will offer a totally new approach to empower employment of these vulnerable residents, providing pre-employment training and career staging with the help of local volunteers in a safe, professional office environment.
We achieved a decade of success through our Training Center and annual Homeless Workforce Conferences in the Bay Area of California. We improved the lives of hundreds of homeless people and those at risk by helping them get off the streets and back to work for the long term.
And special thanks to community members who have volunteered their skills or donated auction items:
- Rev. Rebecca Allen
- Patricia Chavez
- Christa Keller
- Laura Kuhn
- Jayne Rinderer
- Michael Rosenfield
- Eleana Shair
- Jenna Viscaya
Saffron Strand, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, now incorporated in New Mexico, that seeks to reduce homelessness and extreme poverty in Albuquerque.
Please help us start up the Training Center with your secure, tax-deductible donation to Saffron Strand, Inc., a unique 501(c)(3) non-profit organization based in Albuquerque.

Fantasy Football PlayoffsRead Now
As many of you know, I enjoy playing the exciting game of fantasy football. I'm actually in three leagues this year and, well, something pretty strange happened this year.
You see, all three leagues have finished the regular season and all three leagues had the same player as the regular season champion. Since I'm the only one who plays in all three leagues, that would be me!
Making this more "incredible" is that I haven't really been paying attention to the NFL season, since the only games I watched were over Thanksgiving (and I really wasn't watching them too closely).
I'm not trying to brag about how good I did (I am especially not seeking to jinx myself in the playoffs...or, rather "out" of the playoffs). But, speaking of the playoffs, having the best regular season in the league doesn't mean anything if you don't win in the league playoffs.
Yes, I'm kind of excited that I had a combined record of 32 wins and 9 losses in all three leagues. But that's really not important. What is important is the playoffs...what will my record be after this week's games.
So if I'm not bragging, what is my point? Simply this...Jesus asks an important question in Matthew 16:26, "For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul?"
You can win all the "games" in this life (houses, cars, toys, etc.) but none of that really matters. What matters is how you do in the "playoffs" (you know, after your regular life ends).
It's really not that important to me if I win in fantasy football. Who am I kidding, yes it is! But it is not nearly as important as what I am doing right now to ensure that I "win" when this life ends.
Jesus has already won and He has given us a play book (for example look at Matthew25:31-46). If we follow His example, then we will be victorious in the most important playoffs!

Brando and Sam are two Entrepreneurs from Sydney, Australia, who decided to turn the Bitcoin crazy into a new venture. No they didn't launch a new cryptocurrency. Nor a startup built on the blockchain. Instead, they went with something a little bit more old fashioned! They decided to launch a card game.
Welcome to "Bitcon", A card game for people that want to experience the rollercoaster-like thrills of investing in Bitcoin without losing everything. The game is easy to play, even if you haven't sunk any of your real money into Bitcoin, and starts off with each player being dealt five cards.
From there each successive player has to play a card. The card they play from their original five has to move in the same direction as the prevailing market. I.e. if the market is going up and bitcoin is at $10k, then you must play a card that is $10k or higher.
If you find yourself in the unfortunately position where you cannot play a card that is higher/lower (depending on the current direction of the market) or equal to the current value of bitcoin then you are forced to pick up the entire pile of cards.
There are however a few other cards thrown in for good measure. Two critical ones are "reverse the market" and "cash out". As you have probably noticed in the real world, timing is everything with bitcoin. If you can time your hand right then you can "cash out" your bitcoin at the top of the market as secure a dominant position in the game.
Finally, there are three "pop" cards in the deck. If you or your team mates draw one of these then it's game over! The market has crashed and its time to count how much bitcoin you had failed to cash out. The person with the least bitcoin in their wallet is crowned the winner. They had the good fortune (or foresight) to cash out before the market peaked and you soon be picking up a new Lamborghini.
For everyone else, it's okay, the market is just flushing out the weak hands. It will go up again…. soon…. I hope….. maybe not???? Maybe you should look at Etherium instead???? God damnit…. why didn't I listen to my mum and sell……
If you would like to get in on the "bitcon" game then Brando and Sam are hitting up Kickstarter for some real money to get the game live. Check out the campaign here where for just $15 buck you can grab a copy for yourself.

Central's Atwood leads Jaguars to win over Nederland
Recommended Video:
When his team needed him most, Central's Tyrin Atwood came through.

Spirulina (for reference only)
Spirulina is a Microalgae that can be consumed by humans and animals. It is usually taken by humans as a nutritional supplement and is made primarily from two species of cyanobacteria: Arthrospira platensis and Arthrospira maxima.
Arthrospira is cultivated worldwide; used as a dietary supplement as well as a whole food; and is available in tablet, flake and powder form.
Nutrient and vitamin content
Protein and amino-acid content
Spirulina contains about 60% (51–71%) protein. It is a complete protein containing all essential amino acids, though with reduced amounts of methionine, cysteine and lysine when compared to the proteins of meat, eggs and milk. It is, however, superior to typical plant protein, such as that from legumes. The U.S. National Library of Medicine stated that spirulina was no better than milk or meat as a protein source, and was approximately 30 times more expensive per gram.
Vitamin B12
Spirulina is not considered to be a reliable source of Vitamin B12. The standard B12 assay, using Lactobacillus leichmannii, shows spirulina to be a minimal source of bioavailable vitamin B12. Spirulina supplements contain predominantly pseudovitamin B12, which is biologically inactive in humans. Companies which grow and market spirulina have claimed it to be a significant source of B12 on the basis of alternative, unpublished assays, although their claims are not accepted by independent scientific organizations. The American Dietetic Association and Dietitians of Canada in their position paper on vegetarian diets state that spirulina cannot be counted on as a reliable source of active vitamin B12.The medical literature similarly advises that spirulina is unsuitable as a source of B12 .
Other nutrients
Spirulina's lipid content is about 7% by weight, and is rich in gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), and also provides alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), linoleic acid (LA), stearidonic acid (SDA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) andarachidonic acid (AA). Spirulina contains vitamins B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (nicotinamide), B6 (pyridoxine), B9 (folic acid), vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin A and vitamin E. It is also a source of potassium, calcium, chromium, copper,iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, selenium, sodium and zinc. Spirulina contains many pigments which may be beneficial and bioavailable, including beta-carotene, zeaxanthin, chlorophyll-a, xanthophyll, echinenone, myxoxanthophyll,canthaxanthin, diatoxanthin, 3'-hydroxyechinenone, beta-cryptoxanthin and oscillaxanthin, plus the phycobiliproteins c-phycocyanin and allophycocyanin.
In vitro research
Spirulina has been studied in vitro against HIV, as an iron-chelating agent, and as a radioprotective agent. Animal studies have evaluated spirulina in the prevention of chemotherapy-induced heart damage, stroke recovery, age-related declines in memory, diabetes mellitus, in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and in rodent models of hay fever.
Human research
In humans, small studies have been undertaken evaluating spirulina in undernourished children, as a treatment for the cosmetic aspects of arsenic poisoning, in hay frever and allergic rhinitis, in arthritis, in hyperlipidemia and hypertension, and as a means of improving exercise tolerance.

Judgments as a Matter of Law and New Trials
In this lesson, we'll learn about judgments as a matter of law and motions for new trials.
A party can move for judgment as a matter of law, or JMOL, either during trial or after trial. The motion asks the court to bypass the jury and enter judgment for the moving party on a particular issue, claim, or defense.
A judgment as a matter of law replaces two older procedures, the directed verdict and the judgment notwithstanding the verdict. In a directed verdict, the judge would tell the jury...

* Comment on this post.
* I will give you a letter.
* Think of 5 fictional characters and post their names and your comments on these characters in your LJ
I got L.
1. Luna Lovegood (Harry Potter)
Introduced very late in the series, Luna nevertheless has a profound impact on Harry. Most importantly she acts as the "anti-Hermione", injecting some much needed faith into the proceedings. I liked her from the first, especially because I recognised a lot of myself in here (especially the way her contributions to the conversation tend to kill it stone dead). She's quite lonely but self-pity never even enters her head. I like the idea that in the end, she does meet someone who understands her and has a happy family, because it's obvious she missed that.
2. Lily Evans (Harry Potter)
I don't get why some people think Lily is a Mary-Sue. She has never seemed perfect to me (except in Harry's mind, maybe). She was hot-tempered, she jumped to conclusions, but she was compassionate and she was one of only two people who ever reached out to Severus Snape in his entire life (the other was Dumbledore, but his reasons weren't entirely selfless). She gave her life to protect Harry, and in doing so gave him the power to eventually defeat Voldemort once and for all. So I think she's awesome.
3. Lucy Pevensie (Chronicles of Narnia)
Apart from Luna, one of the few blonde females in literature who's actually nice. That's right, everyone, Lucy is blonde, it says so in the last pages of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe: "but as for Lucy, she was always gay and golden-haired". Susan has long black hair. Lucy isn't perfect, she's stubborn and she can be resentful (though not as much as Edmund). I always identified with her preferring to play with the boys rather than be refined like Susan. Poor Lucy, being stuck in 1940s England, tomboys were not looked upon favourably.
4. Lilly Kane (Veronica Mars)
Should have her picture next to the definition of 'wild child' in the dictionary. I sort of wonder about Lilly: there are a lot of hints that she acted out because her parents "made" her into what she was. Sadly, it often happens that one child gets painted as "the bad seed" while the other one is held up to be a paragon. Maybe Celeste had post-natal depression with Lilly, which meant that Jake was cut adrift and ended up in Lianne's arms again. She would not bond with her daughter, but she would definitely bond with her next baby, the 'proof' of Jake's love for her. I tend to agree with Kihin on Lilly: she was a shooting star and they burn out sooner or later. I almost laughed at Veronica's dream in the second season: there's no way Lilly would have gone off tamely to Vassar, she would have been tabloid property. And she would probably have enjoyed it.
5. "Laurie" Laurence (Little Women)
Okay, so I'm cheating a bit here because his name is actually Theodore, but! He's always called Laurie! So there! :P Who doesn't love Laurie? He's mischievous, vulnerable, loves music, half-Italian, he plays the piano... *sigh* I was a little disappointed when Jo said no to him, but I do agree that they would have ended up having an awful marriage, and I love Professor Bhaer, so... Plus, Laurie and Amy are good for each other: they point out each other's mistakes and have a really sweet relationship. I love you, Laurie!

Maybe this is the summer we all start to believe in global warming
About two-thirds of the 190 major weather events since 2004 were found to have been exacerbated by human-induced climate change

I am just about old enough to remember the Irish heatwave of 1976, the year I turned 13. It was a scorching summer, with a high of 32.5 degrees, which is similar to top temperatures recorded across Ireland this year.
My youngest child is now 13. Neither she nor anyone younger than 33 has ever lived through a month where global temperatures were below the 20th century average. The last time this happened was February 1985. Since then, we have lived through an unbroken streak of more than 400 consecutive months of above-average temperatures.
Last week, the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration published its "State of the Climate" report. It found that the four hottest years ever recorded have all occurred since 2014. "The heatwaves and extreme heat we are experiencing [this summer] are consistent with what we expect as a result of climate change caused by greenhouse gas emissions," according to Elena Manaenkova, deputy secretary general of the World Meteorological Organisation. "This is not a future scenario. It is happening now."
Continental high
As thousands of Irish holidaymakers headed south this bank holiday weekend, temperatures in Spain and Portugal were set to hit or even break the all-time continental high of 48 degrees.
From Japan to Greece to Canada, more than 430 people have died in recent weeks as a result of extreme temperatures. Nearly 120 all-time temperature records have been broken globally. Among the most alarming was in northern Sweden, deep inside the Arctic Circle, where unprecedented wildfires have raged, fanned by temperatures above 32 degrees.
The World Weather Attribution (WWA) network recently published its finding that the 2018 heatwave was made more than twice as likely by climate change. "What was once regarded as unusually warm weather will become commonplace, and in some cases, it already has," according to the WWA. Its attribution study on the "Lucifer" heatwave that hit the Mediterranean region in 2017 found underlying climate change made its severity at least 10 times more likely.
The science of climate attribution of weather events is advancing rapidly. Some 190 major weather events between 2004-2018 have been analysed in depth, and about two-thirds were found to have been exacerbated by human-induced climate change. The next step is to connect climate attribution to weather prediction.
In Ireland, an EPA-funded project called ClimAtt, based in UCC, is investigating climate attribution of extreme weather events, of which flooding is likely of greatest near-term concern. This work is vital in helping plan for likely future scenarios.
Were attribution studies to start appearing regularly on TV weather bulletins, rather than being tucked away in science papers, they could be far more impactful. "If we scientists don't say anything, other people will answer that question not based on scientific evidence, but on whatever their agenda is", Dr Friederike Otto, a climate modeller at Oxford University told the journal Nature. "So if we want science to be part of the discussion, we need to say something fast."
As accurate, timely climate attribution information becomes available, is there any reason Met Éireann could not include these in their regular weather bulletins? While its contract is with RTÉ, surely the national broadcaster could not object to such relevant bulletins being broadcast? And, since Denis Naughten, the Minister charged with "climate action" is also responsible for RTÉ, this is a zero-cost initiative that could go a long way towards bridging the communications chasm between science and the Irish public on the reality of climate change and what it means in their lives.
In its most recent bulletin, Met Éireann posed the question: "Is Ireland's dry, warm weather of June, July 2018 due to climate change?" There is, is said in reply, no simple answer, adding that 2018 is "within the natural variability". Its staff have been notably reluctant to discuss climate change publicly, and are rarely questioned about it in interviews, as the bulk of Irish media coverage treats this year's heatwaves as a weather story rather than framing it in its climate context.
However, as leading US climatologist Prof Michael Mann put it, asking if climate change "causes" specific events is the wrong question: "The relevant question is: 'Is climate change impacting these events and making them more extreme?', and we can say with great confidence that it is." The impacts of global warming are now "playing out in real time . . . we literally would not have seen these extremes in the absence of climate change", he told the Guardian this week.
Emissions trajectory
My youngest daughter will be the age I am today in 2060. Assuming the world remains on its current emissions trajectory, and wealthy countries such as Ireland continue to shirk their responsibility to rapidly de-carbonise transport, heating, infrastructure and food-production systems, what kind of future does her generation face?
In all probability, today's youth will pay a savage price for the casual indifference, cynicism and profligacy of their parents' generation, as dreams of a prosperous, safe future are swept away in an unending torrent of ecological disasters. Climate scientist, Dr Peter Gleick recently wrote wistfully: "I used to want tomorrow's flying cars and jet packs. Now, all I want is yesterday's climate."

Jonathan Podwil
The art historian Gertrud Koch once characterized Gerhard Richter's famously fuzzy-edged technique as the "Richter-scale of blur." I thought of this phrase when viewing Jonathan Podwil's recent exhibition of painting and film. The artist's still and moving images feature scenes in which people and objects make their way across the expanse of the frame, with the "blur" factoring heavily in determining a moment between motion and stasis. Yet Podwil's images operate within a plodding register of animation that calls attention to the tactile qualities of film rather than commenting on painting's long-fraught relationship with still photography. Dividing the show into two adjacent rooms, he allowed for simultaneous visual access to both sides of his practice from a single standpoint. One room contained four DVDs projected directly onto the walls, while the other housed seven small paintings.
