Clean Air Everywhere Your role in improving the air we breathe

Home fires are considered by many as a natural part of a cosy home. However they can be a significant source of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;smokyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; air pollution known as particulate matter (PM). The World Health Organisation guidelines for indoor air quality stress the need for cleaner home heating such as by using gas or electricity. The guidelines strongly recommend that unprocessed coal should not be used as a household fuel. The â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;smoky coal banâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; successfully improved air quality in many of our cities and towns. In Dublin, records show it significantly reduced winter deaths and improved conditions for sufferers of lung and heart diseases, like asthma and palpitations, as people moved from home fires to cleaner more efficient fuels like gas and oil. Each year over 1,200 lives are lost prematurely in Ireland due to air pollution, according to the European Environment Agency. Here, the EPA estimates that over 80% of residential fine particulate matter comes from solid fuel, though it provides less than 20% of the energy used â&#x20AC;&#x201C; most of the heat from an open fire goes up the chimney. The burning of smoky coal is not permitted inside â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;coal ban areasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;: individual householders have responsibility to play their part in improving the air we breathe. Householders should be aware of their choice of home heating fuel and the potential impact that choice can have on air quality in their home and on public health in their community. Fuel for sale in coal ban areas must be sealed, and labeled as compliant with the Air Pollution Act Regulations. Fuels in breach of the regulations may be of inferior quality and create more air pollution in your home and community. In addition to gas and oil, a wide range of low smoke solid fuel products are available that are cleaner, provide more energy per bag and more constant, long lasting heat. EPA guidance on how best to use solid fuel home heating is available on their website: http://www.epa.ie/pubs/advice/air/emissions/ epatipsonhomeheatingpractices.html If you live in a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;smokyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; coal ban area and burn solid fuel â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Remember: use only fuel products permitted by the Air Pollution Act Regulations. If you have a complaint about excessive household chimney smoke, or about prohibited solid fuels being sold in your area, contact Waterford City & County Council Environment Section on (051) 849794 or the EPA out of hours at LoCall number 1850 365 121. You can check if you live in a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;smoky coal banâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; area at:â&#x20AC;&#x201C; www.environ.ie/en/Environment/Atmosphere/AirQuality/ SmokyCoalBan/

Album of the week Title, Meghan Trainor (approx. €9.99) Meghan Trainor began singing at the age of 6 and songwriting at age 11. The debut full-length release (not to be confused with her 2014 EP of the same name) for the pop singer-songwriter who gained fame with her single “All About That Bass,” features guest appearances from John Legend and Shy Carter (on the

deluxe edition). Meghan masters perfectly manicured melodies and retro recycling. If we could rate every song individually, we’d have to give Like I’m Gonna Lose You ﬁve stars. This is of course due to the beautiful duet with John Legend, which this song brings, as they make our spine tingle with their love-laden lyrics.

Café of the Week Coffee Doc, Waterford Health Park For a great cup of coffee, a delicious bite to eat and a warm and friendly place to meet up with friends, you’ll be hard pressed to beat the newly launched Coffee Doc at Waterford Health Park. Owned by ex-County hurler, Eoin McGrath and partner Evelyn McNamara, CoffeeDoc is a coffee lover’s paradise, with special

blends created by Eoin’s company Mean Beanz and hand roasted in Ireand. Alongside the Coffee Doc’s signature sandwiches, ciabattas and wraps are gluten-free options, healthy salads and sandwiches to go - all available on white or brown bread. Open Monday to Friday, 8.30am – 4.30pm. Free parking on site and baby changing facilities.

DVD of the Week Gone Girl (approx. €14.99) A husband is exposed to the glare of the mass media when his wife’s disappearance raises suspicions regarding his innocence. Ben Affleck stars as Nick Dunne, a man who, shocked by the sudden disappearance of his wife Amy (Rosamund Pike), is initially happy to make use of the media to try and locate his missing partner.

However, when evidence is discovered that potentially incriminates Nick, he quickly discovers the ﬂip-side of dealing with journalists as he is subject to trial by TV and print. As everything from Nick’s body language to his tone of voice is analysed. Can Nick hang onto his sanity and the belief that he will one day see Amy again?

Console Game of the week Tomb Raider: Deﬁnitive Edition (Xbox One) (approx. €19.99)

Gadget of the Week LeapFrog LeapTV (approx. €116.99) The LeapFrog LeapTV is new games console that’s been crafted with kids in mind who are a bit too young to be gaming on the latest and greatest next-gen kit.

gaming system, kids’ will learn through motion as they jump, dance and more! The library of 70+ LeapFrog educatorapproved games and videos teach reading, mathematics, science and creativity.

drop. There are also plenty of platform-based puzzles that allow Lara to clamber atop of debris and buildings buried deep within large environments. There’s a lot of shooting in Tomb Raider too. This Deﬁnitive Edition also includes all the available DLC and the digital edition of the Dark Horse comic.

DEE E KAVANAGH

After a less than stellar performance in the prior few Tomb Raider games, Lara is back with a reboot and a new origin story. For the most part, all of this feels exactly as you would imagine a Tomb Raider should, with lush forests, dank underground tunnels and ancient temples forming the majority of the game’s back-

CROSSWORDS The first letter of each answer is written next to its clue in alphabetical order. Can you find the words then fit them correctly into the grid?

Going back over old ground generally doesn’t suit you: you’re far better at moving forwards. Yet it’s quite possible that you missed a nuance a few weeks ago and that if you can tune in now you’ll learn a great deal about what motivates certain people. Tuesday’s Full Moon is in another of the Fixed signs and accents the base of your solar chart. It’s likely that home, property and asset management generally will dominate thinking. It may be that what was outlined between 12 months ago forms the blue-print for a plan to be implemented next month. Tuesday’s Full Moon could coincide with mis-information coming to light. Setting the record straight may not be just a case of explaining who said what and when. Knowing which expert opinion you can rely on will surely matter greatly. It’s likely that around Tuesday’s Full Moon you’ll feel as though you’ve been thrown a massive cosmic challenge. As one of the ‘do-ers’ of the zodiac, getting on with things surely won’t be a problem. Yet even with your best efforts, it might take all you’ve got simply to stand still. The Full Moon is in your sign and you could come over all ‘lion’s roar’ from Sunday through to mid-week. Of course, with Mercury retrograde in your opposite sign you might have very good reason indeed. Perhaps you feel someone has been playing you for a fool? It seems likely your social and working worlds are about to expand - most likely involving those who speak at least one extra language. More than one of these people could find you hugely exciting and, perhaps, attractive (especially around Tuesday’s Full Moon). It would be in keeping with Tuesday’s Full Moon if one of your pet projects were to surface and demand attention. It might also be that before next weekend you attract exactly the support needed to see this concluded.

Tuesday’s Full Moon is in another of the Fixed signs. With Jupiter also moving through Leo, excess is in the air! It could be that you ‘lose your cool’ on the discovery that things haven’t happened as you would have hoped. At some level you could feel adrift - at least for the first couple of days of this week. Though part of you might have a clear idea of what you want to do, it may be that responsibilities to others are uppermost. By midweek just how well you tackle certain tasks should be apparent. Tuesday’s Full Moon could see a financial matter come to a head. It may be that a budget requires revision or that it becomes necessary to augment funds available. All this could put you at odds with someone whose expenses have been rising and who feels unable to cope. Though you might not intentionally be messing others around. It’s possible that that’s how certain people see your behaviour. True, you may be distracted by the needs of someone who’s either sick or lost. Around Tuesday’s Full Moon things could be particularly difficult. It might be as well to anticipate that matters you’d prefer were kept hidden to come to a head around Tuesday’s Full Moon. It may not be possible to stop gossip either. True, you could do your ostrich thing and ignore what’s going on around you.
