Dan O’Brien on X: Apart from microstates, Ireland is the most import dependent country in Europe for its energy. According to Eurostat, 80% of all energy consumed in Ireland comes from abroad. Much of that comes via a gas pipeline from Scotland. With (still) no capacity to import liquified gas, the risk of that pipe going down is the biggest near-term foreseeable risk to the Irish economy, and indeed society – electricity rationing in winter months is not fun.

The Harvard Gazette: ‘Harvard thinking’: How memory works (and doesn’t). Comment: As a person with TBI and amnesia I like this “from our five senses, can be powerful triggers for memory — especially when combined with something unique. “When I work with patients and I talk about memory strategies, I use the term ‘bizarre is best.’ Distinctiveness matters. If something is unique and it stands out, you tend to remember it better,” she said.” And another quote of significance “We know that when you have damage to this region and some nearby structures in the inner part of the temporal lobe, that you can have a devastating impairment in memory.” Yet another quote “We know from decades of work in cognitive psychology that when you’re able to use your past knowledge to encode new information in a meaningful way, that makes a huge difference for subsequent memorability.”
