Cortege ~ An Interview with Joshua Trinidad
I met Joshua Trinidad for the first time at The Oriental Theater in Denver, CO... he had invited us out for a special event to present him with his new Harrelson Summit Trumpet the night he was opening for The Bad Plus. It was an awesome night of music. I see a lot of trumpet performances... and I always find it inspiring when trumpeters put a new twist on the old tried and true sound. Josh does just that... and with style. I personally love the eerie and ethereal sounds that emanate from his horn. I also have always been fascinated by the concept of funeral music... which is why I wanted to talk to him more about his current project "Cortege". Josh takes his music very seriously but he has fun doing it. I already pre-ordered my copy of Cortege... this is one of my favorite tracks from an earlier project he did... If you're in the Denver area... I highly recommend you take in one of his shows. And... when you do, stop by and tell him I say hi. Here's what he had to say about what he's working on now...
How long have you been playing the trumpet?
I have been playing trumpet for about 22 years (since I was 9 years old)
What made you decide to go into music / how did you start out?
I owe it to my mother. I grew up with her playing a lot of really good music for me at a young age. I was exposed to a lot of country, R&B, soul, funk and traditional music from Mexico / New Mexico since I can remember. I was lucky that I had parents that valued good music. Growing up listening to good music, allowed me to be inspired to make my own and the inspiration is still going strong today.
Who are some of your musical influences and why.
Currently and over the past 5-8 years I have been deeply influenced by the music and trumpeters / instrumentalists in Norway, Iceland, France, and Poland. Mathias Eick, Nils Petter Molvear, Tomaz Stanko, Erik Truffaz, Jon Hassel, and Enrico Rava. I like how these artists are not "macho" trumpet players. They don't play high, loud and fast. They are what I would call expressive players that take the time to make each note count.
Is music your full time job?
Kind of. I am actually an educator here in Denver and have been in education for 10 years. I found out early in my life that musicians do not make enough money to feed a family, so I got my Masters in Education from The University of Colorado at Boulder as a back up plan from starving to death and getting evicted. I am currently in a good situation where I can take more risk in my music to spend money investing in trips, tours and albums due to my "day job" supporting my music. The moment that I can find more solid ground being a musician full time- I will do it!
I am extremely intrigued by the new project "Cortege" you're working on. Can you tell me some more about that... and how did you come up with the idea?
I have a good friend who recently fought cancer and won the battle! I sat down and spent some serious time listening to his music while he was sick fighting his fight. I said to myself " wow, this music seems like the last song he will ever make, its powerful and makes such a big statement!" In a way, I saw it as, these could have been the final pieces of music that he could have ever recorded. It worried me and made me realize that life is so fragile. I later thought, it would be powerful for me to make an album as if I was dying and these were the last songs I were to make and record. I wanted to bring my music to a new level of intensity. I then thought, it would be even more powerful to make music for my own funeral. So here it is!
To Donate to the Cortege project and pre-order the CD please follow this link: http://joshuatrinidad.com/
What else is in the works for you in the coming year?
I am planning on pushing my new album "Cortege" really hard this year and trying to get my quartet to Europe very soon. I recently finished doing some recordings for hip hop MC Sage Francis and also laying down trumpet parts for the new Ken Burn's documentary on the Vietnam Conflict that will be coming out in 2016. I am planning on playing in New York and possibly Toronto this summer along with hosting The Bad Plus again at The Oriental Theater here in Denver (our Third Annual show with them). I am also constantly recording and performing with lots of local groups here in Denver like, Wheelchair Sports Camp, Poets Row, JazzMixed, The Chance Trio and Rubedo.
You've played with a lot of famous people... any good stories... that you can repeat.
This one time I played at Dazzle here in Denver to a room of 3 people. My band took a set break and during the break, this very nice lady came up to me and said " wow, you sound great." I responded with " thank, are you a musician?" and she said "yes, I sing a little bit here and there." I wrapped up the conversation so that I could use the restroom. I later came back into the dinner room and she pulled me to the side and asked to sit in. I thought to myself, sure why not, there are only 2 people here. We all got on the band stand and I asked her, if there was something she wanted to play out of the fakebook and she said, "whatever you choose is fine." We played Ague je de beber. The moment this lady began to sing, I realized that I was sharing the stage with Grammy award winning jazz vocalist Diane Reeves.
Musical highlight of your year?
I think anytime I go to New York to play is a highlight. Last time I was out there, I played with Rudy Royston and that was a lot of fun. Currently, I am excited to possibly play some international festivals in Toronto and possibly another chance to go to England.
If your trumpet were an animal which animal would it be?
I would have to say that my trumpet is like a Koala Bear. It is soft and has a real fluffy sound, but there is still a small bite inside of the tone.
What do you listen to... when you're not recording/performing? What's in your cd player?
Right now, I have been listening to sigur rós, Radiohead, Bjork, Tune Yards, Cuddle Magic, Wu Tang Clan, Tyga, Erik Truffaz and Sage Francis.

Chat Transcript: Talking cornerback recruiting, cornerback matchups ... and the weather
Eric Hansen: Welcome to Notre Dame Football Live Chat — the USC Week rendition. Please remember to include your name and hometown with your question. Let's get started.
Bob from NYC: Hi Eric, love these chats. What do you see as Ian Book's ceiling? Could he, with the right weapons available, win a national championship? What's the highest round you see him getting drafted (whenever he enters). How many of his shortcomings are coachable and how long would it conceivably take to correct them, based on his progress so far?
Eric Hansen: Bob, thank you. I'm a bit on the fence with the first part of your question, which actually is progress from where I started last season. I'll say conditionally yes if a formidable run offense is in place. As far as the 2020 NFL Draft, Book projects as a seventh-rounder, if not an undrafted free agent. I wrote about this recently with draft analyst Scott Wright, who says the NFL scouts feel Book should go back to school in 2020. Wright's opinion is that Book could rise to be a middle-round guy in 2021 if things work out well. I defer to his expertise on that. I think Book is evolving as a QB and has a chance to be better in December than he is at the moment.
Bill from Idaho Falls, Idaho: I'm curious if you saw the things you wanted to see from ND in the Bowling Green game, to convince you that the Irish are on the right path or improving and moving forward? Appreciate your insight and comments!
Eric Hansen: Bill. Thanks. There was a lot to like from ND in that game, against admittedly an overmatched opponent. Their ability to focus on the task at hand topped the list for me. No letdown. If I'm being picky, I thought ND's defense was average at best on third down. They'll have to be much better in that area Saturday night against USC.
John from Royal Oak, Mich.: Hey Eric, interested in your thoughts on former ND players as coaches, in particular Todd Lyght. It seems that the two "weakest links" from a recruiting standpoint in the last few years have been the running back and DB coaches, which is odd because they were former ND greats. It seems like former players would have the ability to sell the team better than just about anyone else. So do you believe the issue has been their lack of interest in recruiting (enjoy on-field coaching more), interpersonal awkwardness (just not "people people"), or something else? I've formed my question from the reports of other journalists, so if you feel I'm way off base, please shoot me straight. Thanks and appreciate all your work.
Eric Hansen: John, certainly from the outside looking in, your assessment appears spot on. Talking with those in the recruiting analyst community confirms that. And to me, having interviewed Autry Denson and Todd Lyght, it's stunning, because of the quality of people they are, their ability to express the Notre Dame message, their own playing backgrounds, even their track record of developing players at those positions. In recruiting cornerbacks, perhaps it's a matter of too much letting Notre Dame sell itself. Keep in mind, Todd Lyght hasn't been coaching as long as some of the people he competes against. I think there's potential to turn that around. I think he has the tools. But it needs to happen soon. Consistently. He's going to have to outwork his competition ... leave no stone unturned.
Bob from Wilmington, Del.: There is a proposal in California to pay scholarship athletes. Do you think this could affect ND recruiting? Will high school athletes be more inclined to go to USC, UCLA, etc.
Eric Hansen: Bob, that wouldn't go into effect until 2023. There are already other states forming similar proposals. The NCAA was already going down this road in terms of studying whether it makes sense for its model. There's potential legal action. There's potential national legislation. There's potential for the NCAA to sort this out. And there's plenty of time to do so. So no, I don't think ultimately California schools will be at an advantage.
Frank from Canton, Ga: Will ND blitz more this game than in previous games?
Eric Hansen: I don't think that would be wise, given that you'd be giving USC more one-on-one matchups with those talented wide receivers. Notre Dame's bread and better on defense in this game needs to be creating pressure with its front four. I do think they'd want to give USC QB Kedon Slovis lots of different defensive looks and some of those would involve an OCCASIONAL blitz.
Paul from Lititz, Pa.: Eric, will our pass rushers at the corners be able to get pressure on Kedon Slovis? Their receivers are going to make plays, and I feel if we can't pressure their QB, it's going to be a long day if he has time to go through his progressions. Does Kyle Hamilton get one or two picks Saturday night? Thanks.
Eric Hansen: Building on my answer to Frank, USC's offensive line has allowed just six sacks this season, but I believe ND's edge rushers will be the best they see this season. It's a matchup ND has to win and should win, both with its quality and quantity at those positions. As far as Kyle Hamilton picks, I'm not going to predict that, but Slovis' weakness (and he hasn't shown many) is turning the ball over.
Erik from Granger, Ind.: Love the chats! The cornerback situation is becoming eerily similar to the running back situation the last few years. How hot is Todd Lyght's seat right now after years of poor recruiting? And is there another Lance Taylor out there who could come in and immediately impact the cornerback depth chart?
Eric Hansen: Thanks, Erik. I think we have to give Todd Lyght credit for things like developing Julian Love into an All-America cornerback, etc. Recruiting is an important aspect of the job, no doubt. I know Terry Joseph is getting more involved in that. Not a lot is going to change with the 2020 class, but I do think there needs to be a step up in 2021. When you look at how the 2020 Irish are shaping up on the field, cornerback is the position group with the most questions floating around it.
Mike from Maine: Is my perception accurate that college players, in general, and ND players, in particular, are missing a lot more games due to injury than players 20, 30, or 40 years ago? Are you aware of studies on that?
Eric Hansen: I don't have that data at my disposal, but with all the advances both medically and with injury prevention through sports science, I would think the opposite is true.
Patrick from Fort Wayne, Ind.: Eric, what is your assessment of the linebacker play so far this season? Second question, what portion of the USC defense will give ND's offense the most trouble?
Eric Hansen: I think the linebacker play was scary at first, with sharp improvement since. What USC's defense has done best this season is pressure opposing quarterbacks.
Mike from Thorold, Ontario: Just wondering your thoughts on Braden Lenzy. Are you surprised he hasn't played more meaningful downs or even attempted to return kicks? I haven't been overly impressed with Chris Finke's performance so far this year — was wondering why Lenzy isn't receiving more playing time. Thanks and have a great day.
Eric Hansen: Mike, it's really not a Finke-or-Lenzy choice. Lenzy is competing with Michael Young at the outside receiver on the wide side of the field. Lenzy's own health issues have limited some of his opportunities. When offensive coordinator Chip Long wants to play Chase Claypool and Javon McKinley together, that also limits Lenzy. The personnel group that hinders his opportunities and Finke's at slot receiver the most is when ND plays two tight ends. And right now, that's the most effective formation running and passing for the Irish. As far as special teams, Notre Dame has only opted to return five of 18 kickoffs this season, and one of those was a squib fielded by Shayne Simon, so I'm not sure that his presence there would be particularly impactful. I still like his long-term potential with this team — a lot.
ND Harvey from South Philly: E, big Bo Bauer fan — besides special teams, do you see him getting more time on the defense? Beat SC. Thank you.
Eric Hansen: He's an old school middle linebacker. Love him on special teams. Don't see him beating out a healthy Drew White at this time.
Charlie from the Dominican Republic: Hi, Eric! I read your analysis of Jafar Armstrong's probable return this week, and the effect he will have on the offense. The article seemed to echo the feelings of many fans that his return will be just what this offense needs to jump-start the running game. Last year, our running tandem of Armstrong and Tony Jones Jr. was inconsistent early on. It wasn't until Dexter Williams came back that the running game really got going. While I agree that a Jones and Armstrong backfield is better than Jones carrying the load practically by himself, I don't really understand why people are talking like Armstrong's return this year will be similar in significance to Williams' return last year. What has he done to deserve this type of anticipation/admiration?
Eric Hansen: Charlie, I understand your skepticism. Keep in mind when Dexter Williams returned from suspension last season, he had never had more than 37 carries in a season or eight carries in a game. So sometimes a player's history hides his progress and potential. With Armstrong, he had to learn to play running back from scratch in 2018. He didn't have the natural vision. He didn't know how to let his blocks set up. Now you have a 6-2, 220-pound former Kansas state sprint champ who has improved drastically in those areas and showed it in the spring and in August. I wouldn't compare his addition to the lineup as identical to Dexter's, but I do think — if Armstrong stays healthy — you'll see a dynamic player who's clearly ND's best option at the running back position.
Jay Weir from Huntington Beach, Calif.: Hi Eric. The line is Irish -10.5 and has not moved much, if at all. You are the all-knowing King of data and analysis. Care to predict a score or a winner this week?
Eric Hansen: I'm picking Notre Dame 34-27. That's for entertainment purposes only, right?
Rick from the OC: Big week, especially for us ND fans that live in SoCal. Go IRISH! Two questions. The first is what happened to the running back from Indiana that was a big ND recruit and switched his commitment to USC? WHY? Second question is on the back of the ND helmets — most have IRISH on them, but some have VICIS or something similar on them. What is that?
Eric Hansen: The player you are thinking of is Markese Stepp. He's a redshirt freshman at USC and the team's third-leading rusher with 159 yards on 25 carries (6.4 avg) and 1 TD. He did not meet certain academic benchmarks presented to him during the recruiting process, so he was unable to sign with the Irish. ... VICIS is a helmet technology company, which outfits about 80 percent of the Irish in their helmets.
Matt from Augusta, N.J.: Eric, going into the season and the talk leading up to the Georgia game was that the defense might have trouble stopping the run. We lost a lot on the interior D-line and at linebacker, so the questions about our interior defense were expected. When Louisville had some success running the ball, most thought Georgia would have a field day and push ND around. At Georgia the defense played well up front, until late, when Georgia had some success. What changed? Who defensively has stepped up their play? Also is the interior defense and stopping the run still a major concern going forward? Secondary depth has to be No. 1.
Eric Hansen: Linebacker Drew White and Asmar Bilal have shown remarkable improvement. Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah has shown tremendous growth too, and ND's interior D-line rotation is getting stronger. All those have played a part. ND will face two strong tests in the running game in November — Navy (second nationally) and BC (11th). For comparison's sake, USC is 91st in rushing offense and Michigan is 102nd. Cornerback quality and quantity is the No. 1 concern, this week and against Michigan, because of Shaun Crawford's injury and because of the matchups.
Mike from Rochester N.Y.: Eric, glad to see coach Kelly saw my question about Javon McKinley last week and decided to get him the ball more LOL. Regarding the Cam Hart move, do you think he's going to see the field a lot as a cornerback this year or will they try to preserve his redshirt year?
Eric Hansen: Mike, yes I meant to ask Brian if he felt like crediting you was the right thing. ... I think there's an intent to use Cam Hart, especially since there is a stated intent to redshirt Donte Vaughn. If the ND coaches can pull off both, all the better, but I think Hart benefits most by playing this season.
Tom from Grand Rapids: Hi Eric, I appreciate the job you do with this format. My question is this: Every year at the end of the season during the Thanksgiving Holiday week, which is already hectic enough, Notre Dame has to trek out to California to play a game. Why can't they come to South Bend. Please don't try to feed me the weather BS answer. It's not like it isn't scheduled for either USC or Stanford. I think the Irish have been getting the short end of that stick for a couple decades now.
Eric Hansen: Tom, thank you. Actually, Thanksgiving week is remarkably unhectic for the ND team. They only have classes early that week. And this is something that ND wants. They like ending the season in California, with Kelly and an assistant coach or two usually staying out there to do some recruiting. They certainly have the freedom to try to change it after the USC contract runs out in 2026. Or they can renew.
Jonathan from Torrance Calif.: Hey Eric, what do you think the chances of ND landing Isaiah Pryor from OSU and the effect he would have next year? Also, what are your thoughts on Jacob Lacey so far this year? After hearing so many good things about him in the spring, I was expecting to hear his name more and seeing more impact. Thanks!
Eric Hansen: Carter Karels wrote about Pryor last night:
https://www.ndinsider.com/football/a-look-inside-notre-dame-s-pursuit-of-ohio-state/article_befc03f3-ba7d-595a-81a5-1bf9da953dcc.html
It sounds like if things go well, he could commit this weekend or soon after. Given how much ND likes to play three safeties together, I think it would be an impactful addition. Regarding Lacey, I think watching him on film, you'd get a better sense of his impact that looking at his stats (6 tackles, 1.5 TFL, 0.5 sacks through five games). Yet when you compare them to starter Kurt Hinish's (7 tackles, 3 TFL, 1.5 sacks) and Jerry Tillery's freshman year stats for an entire season (12 tackles, 2 TFL, 1 sack), they line up very favorably.
Dan from the UP of Michigan: I am way more worried about USC than Michigan, because of the fact that USC can score a lot of points. Which of the other remaining games will be the toughest for Notre Dame besides those two rivals?
Eric Hansen: I would say Stanford, based only on the way they improved and played against Washington last week, and then Navy, which has been better than advertised so far.
Sam from Durham, N.C.: Looking at bowl projections a lot of people have ND in the Orange Bowl, because it'll be highest non-playoff ACC vs ND or couple other conference (forget which ones). Is this affiliation correct, and if so would the committee block a potential Virginia vs. ND rematch in favor of something different?
Eric Hansen: Notre Dame really only has two New Year's Six options this postseason if it's not in the playoff — the Orange and the Cotton. If it plays in the Orange, it could be a rematch with Virginia. If if plays in the Cotton, it would definitely be against the Group of Five rep. The committee does have some flexibility in working with the schools if they want to avoid a rematch, but again the alternative would be the Cotton, not one of the other New Year's Six bowls.
MoxieBravo from Chicago: My question is since the weather is forecast to be cooler than the USC kids are accustomed to, do you think that will have any impact on the game (like the Sun Bowl vs. Miami a few year ago)?
Eric Hansen: I wouldn't rule that out. USC Sports Info even has a stat on that, although it's a bit murky:
From their weekly release: "USC is 12-11-1 in 'cold weather' games (where the cold temperature had such an impact on the game that it was mentioned in the media's game recaps). The last time USC played a 'cold weather' game was at Utah in 2016 (a 31-27 loss when it was 45 degrees at kickoff).
Today the high in South Bend is supposed to be 76. On Saturday the high is projected to be 53 with a low of 43 degrees.
Henry from Stockton, Calif.: Thursdays are good days during football season. I get info on the Irish I cannot get anywhere else. Thanks, Eric! In the spring coaches Kelly and Long decided to work on QB Book: Have him throw the deep ball, improve downfield accuracy among other things. So far this season, Book has not looked as good as last season. He seems uncomfortable in the pocket, shows happy feet sometimes, etc. I'm wondering if the coaches are trying to fit a "square plug in a round hole." The 2018 Book was undefeated last year until Clemson. In fairness, the Irish didn't lose the game solely because of Book. There were faults in other parts of the team. Likewise, this year's Georgia game. Other units of the Irish could have played better. Maybe let Book play to his strengths rather than make him into something else? Your thoughts.
Eric Hansen: Henry, your very direct, well-phrased question doesn't necessarily have an uncomplicated, well-phrased answer. I'll do my best. Ian Book as a starter has faced an inordinately low percentage of good to great teams in terms of total defense and pass-efficiency defense compared to every other ND starter for the past decade and a half. The three he has faced (Clemson, Georgia, Virginia) have been a struggle for him. The coaching staff believes Book can push the ball vertically and he did so against admittedly the worst pass defense in the nation in Bowling Green last weekend (not a commentary, just a statistical fact). If he can't do that against better teams, then they can do what Georgia did in the third quarter of that game and play their safeties closer to the line of scrimmage, which makes winning very, very difficult. So the bottom line is he can do it. The coaches want him to do it. Now he must show he can do it against good/great defenses in games where it matters.
Chuck from Westfield, Ind.: Do you think that adding the Wildcat to our offense would be of help? I can see Avery Davis there, either running or passing out of the Wildcat. I can also see C'Bo Flemister in the Wildcat. Seems that it would be of help in short-yardage situations. Thanks for all your work.
Eric Hansen: Chuck. I don't hate the idea. I wouldn't want to use a steady diet of it, but there might be a game or two where it makes sense. As Avery grows comfortable being back on offense and the coaches' trust grows in him, I wouldn't be averse to seeing that pop up.
Sean from Columbus, Ohio: Eric, great to have you on these chats. USC has some flashy wide receivers and a running back that can take it to the house at any given time, but their O-line is not very good. I know this is a rivalry game, but other than that, do you see anything from USC that spells an upset.
Eric Hansen: I think the most dangerous version of USC is the version that isn't its own worst enemy. As I wrote last night, they're 122nd in turnover margin nationally (out of 130), 113th in fewest penalty yards per game and 105th in red zone offense.
Joe from Georgia: Is Kevin Austin's university-imposed suspension lifted? If yes, how surprised would you be to see him in either of the next two games? Do you believe he will play in more than four games this season?
Eric Hansen: No. Dumbounded. No.
Tim from Pleasant Prairie Wis.: Good Afternoon Eric. Just a comment. Although the transformation that Matt Balis has made to player conditioning has been noted frequently since his arrival for the 2017 season, I have not heard him mentioned specifically as it pertains to this year's Irish team and the correlation between his program and the way that the Irish are finishing games this year as opposed to when he first got here and even last season when they went undefeated. They just seem so much stronger in the second half and the fourth quarter this year. Is the correlation a fair one? I like to see people get the credit they deserve.
Eric Hansen: Tim, I think it's a given now, so that's why it doesn't come up as much. If I get a chance to do something one-on-one with Balis, which I hope to do, I can bring something new to the conversation. I think for most media people at this point, it's like reporting a plane landed safely at the airport after a routine flight.
Tyler from South Dakota: Which one of Southern Cal's wideouts would fit in best with ND?
Eric Hansen: Wow, that's like asking me which cut of steak would I prefer. Not sure there's a wrong answer there. I'd take Amon-Ra St. Brown.
TomD70 from Lansing: Eric, what is your take on Brandon Wimbush, the savior of Central Florida, not even seeing the field as a third-stringer?
Eric Hansen: I think Notre Dame was fortunate to have him on campus as a player and a person for four years, and I think he'll be successful in life beyond football.
Jeff B from Oklahoma City: Eric, now that Jafar Armstrong is coming back, do you think we'll see more of the two-back sets that have been promised but not really put in place so far? It seems they have something working with the two-tight end sets and running the football. How much more of that do you think we'll see going forward, especially in this game, given the USC passing attack?
Eric Hansen: The beauty of the two-tight end sets — until someone proves otherwise — is that ND is really good at running AND passing out of it. I do think we'll see more two-back sets with Armstrong back. His versatility makes that an effective option.
Jacob from Versailles, Ohio: Hey Eric! I have a feeling that Donte Vaughn is going to redshirt this year so that he can transfer out (not because he could be a potential starter at ND next year). I know there is a lot of mystery surrounding this. Do you know any more about what is going on with Donte Vaughn? Cam Hart getting moved to corner has reinforced my thoughts that Vaughn is redshirting to transfer out. Is this something that the players can know/discuss with coach Kelly (redshirting to transfer out)? How does this effect cornerback recruiting going forward?
Eric Hansen: Jacob, I'll give you a short answer since Tyler James and I wrote about this extensively earlier this week. The intent is to redshirt Vaughn to bring him back to ND in 2020. Cam Hart moving to the defense helps account for Houston Griffith's move to safety. It doesn't affect CB recruiting at all. The Irish will sign three in December and need many more good ones in the 2021 cycle.
Michael from Sanford, N.C.: Thank you for the opportunity to submit a question! I noticed some players have "VICIS" rather than "IRISH" on the back of their helmets. Researching, I found that VICIS manufactures the Zero 1 Helmet, and I read somewhere that the company has supplied head gear to the team since 2017. My question: Do all players wear the VICIS ZERO 1 Helmet or is it just a random few? Also, have they acquired any statistics on the additional safety provided to the players. Thank you, Eric, for your excellent reporting of all things Irish!
Eric Hansen: Michael, I partially answered this earlier, but wanted to include this, because I think there's some interest to fans on the safety topic. Not sure when I can get to it, but I do plan on digging into the VICIS/safety topic at some point. It won't be this week, however, but it's on my radar.
Tom Kennesaw from Ga.: Hi Eric, any chance the temps could dip into the 30s Saturday night and freeze up the boys from SC? This one make me nervous, because their biggest strength goes directly against our weakness at defensive back, especially if we have another injury back there. Also, Alohi Gilman doesn't seem to be as productive this year versus last year. Your thoughts? In USC's two losses what was their biggest undoing and is that something that the Irish can take advantage of? Last year they gave us all we could handle, and if not for a couple of fumbles by their wide receivers, the outcome might have been different. I'm afraid we will start out in a soft coverage like last year and let their freshman QB get into a rhythm and gain some confidence. What kind of defense do you think coach Lea will start the game with? If I remember correctly our last loss at home was to a freshman QB from UGA. Thanks for all you do to keep us informed about ND football. Go Irish!!!
Eric Hansen: Tom, there's a lot here ... it's almost like the Cardinals' first inning on Wednesday. It's going to get into the 30s Friday night/Saturday morning. I like Alohi's game. He creates turnovers, is the second-leading tackler, makes those around him better, shows a lot of versatility in that dime package. He shows up in big games. He needs to Saturday night. The biggest factor in both USC losses was turnovers, three picks of Slovis vs. BYU, three picks of Fink vs. Washington ... and very few explosive plays. I think Clark Lea will mix defensive looks from the start and maintain that the entire game,
Len from the Jersey Shore: Hi Eric! Do you think ND will rush three and drop eight at least some of the time? Heard young USC QB had issues with that. Can D-line beat USC's O-line consistently?
Eric Hansen: I think that is a look the Irish will show, but not a lot. Notre Dame HAS to win a lot of those matchups rushing four. That's how this team is constructed. USC's O-line is better than advertised, but it's not Georgia's.
Steve from St. Louis: I think the Cardinals just scored again! Should we expect to see more dime package on Saturday night to combat the U$C receivers or will that only work in the certain down and distance?
Eric Hansen: I'll take it. I think the Nats just scored again too in extra innings. I think the dime works best on third down and mid-to-long. Lately there's been some cracks in it. The Irish need to tighten that down for USC.
Brent from Elkhart, Ind.: Greetings Eric, I am going to expand on Mike from Ontario's question. Finke is a fine young man, and a great athlete. However, other than good hands, he is not an exceptional punt return man. We have not really had one since Rocket. My question is then, what does it hurt to give Braden Lenzy a shot a punt returns? He is definitely faster and more elusive than Finke. Thoughts?
Eric Hansen: Brent, I don't think it's fair to Tom Zbikowski and Golden Tate among others to say ND hasn't had one since Rocket. But your point is why not Lenzy? When ND had a wide array of players trying out for that this spring and in August, Lenzy was in that group. When the group pared down to three, it was Finke, Joe Wilkins and Lawrence Keys III. So if there's a change there eventually, I would expect it would be one of those two.
James from Columbus: Eric, what is your opinion of Clark Lea's defense? His ability to identify talent and coordinate toward their strengths; his in-game adjustments seem masterful. His streak of keeping opponents under 30 points in today's college football is very impressive. In my opinion he deserves much more national attention for the job he is doing.
Eric Hansen: If Notre Dame's defense keeps evolving and ND goes 11-1, he'll get plenty of national attention, not that he's worried about it.
Bdbob from Parts Unknown: I know it's early but what do you think of the chances that Liam Eichenberg and Tommy Kraemer stay with the Irish next year?
Eric Hansen: I would say it's trending that both would come back.
RC from Albany N.Y.: Hi Eric. Really enjoyed this week's Podcast — the discussion around the USC receivers during the Q&A was great. Given USC overall talent level, I think Saturday is going to be a tougher matchup than the 10+ line indicates. I hope that I am wrong here. Can you talk a bit about the players USC is getting back from injury for this game? Beyond Slovis, I understand that there are one or two front-line defensive players back for Saturday. What impact do you expect them to have? And is there any reason to believe that the returning starters will change the trajectory of the USC defense? As always, thanks.
Just a comment: I really like this new format. The ability to send questions in early and then easily read the transcript on a mobile device at the end of the day is great. Thanks.
Eric Hansen: RC, glad you like the format. I agree it gives people a chance to participate that otherwise couldn't. I do like the live element too. I feel like I'm interacting instead of answering mail. To your question, safety Talanoa Hufanga coming back in a big lift for the USC defense. He helps in coverage and in rush defense. His tackle totals in the four games in which he's played: 8-10-10-14.
Denis from Niagara Falls, Ontario: Hey Eric. I am a huge fan of Lea. I think everyone believes he is head coaching material. And his halftime adjustments are exceptional. Am I being too unreasonable to think why can't Lea get more game plans to work at the start of the game. Seems like teams often have success until the halftime adjustments. Thanks!
Eric Hansen: Keep in mind Louisville was a blind date and some of the other teams have thrown some unexpected wrinkles at him. I don't have an issue with it, as long as the end result is the same.
Jacob from Hobart, Ind.: Will Armstrong take over as the starting running back? How big of a role will he have in his first week back? Do you think Tony Jones Jr. deserves to keep at least a 50/50 split after his past two 100-yard games?
Eric Hansen: I don't think he starts Saturday night. Brian Kelly said something about 20 plays, but that could expand. I do think he starts vs. Michigan if healthy. With regard to Jones, I think you play your best players. I don't think you automatically promise someone a percentage of carries because they filled in well. ND didn't tag-team Ian Book and Brandon Wimbush last season after Wimbush filled in nicely against Florida State.
Bill from Thousand Oaks, Calif.: First time on defense do you think Irish come out in normal alignment or nickle? What percentage of zone or man coverage do you foresee? SC gets rid of the ball very quickly and hope we have right combination of talent and versatility on back end to cope with size disparity of SC receivers. Think our defensive ends, rover and turnovers are key to the game. What do say you.? You're the best Eric. GO IRISH!!
Eric Hansen: That's either five questions and a statement, or four questions and two statements, but my limit is 17-part questions, so I will oblige. I think ND comes out with rover Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah on the slot receiver and evolves from there. Not sure I can give you a percentage. They'll mix if up and probably lean heavier on the way that works best. Defensive ends, rover, turnovers, yes all big factors. And thanks for the kind words.
TomD70 from Lansing: There are many commenters expressing concerns about Ian Book. Is he aware of the criticism he is receiving? I'd cut him some slack. Remember, he was just a three-star thought to be a career backup.
Eric Hansen: Of course he's aware of the criticism — and the praise. You can't live in a bubble when you're at a place like Notre Dame, and players know that when they come here. Doesn't make it easy. I think it's fine to cut him some slack. My job is to be fair and accurate when I write about him. But him being a three-star recruit has no bearing in the conversation. If you're the No. 1 QB at ND, there's a standard you're expected to play to. It doesn't matter what your recruiting ranking was.
Jeff from Canton, Mich.: Looking at the slate of games this week, I think its quite possible that ND goes down in the rankings even if they defeat USC on Saturday. If Penn State and Texas both win, I believe they jump ND. And I think the loser of the LSU-UF game won't dip too far in the polls if it's a close game. As an AP voter, would you keep Oklahoma and Florida ahead of ND if they both lose close games? While these polls are not supposed to be utilized by the playoff committee per se, they do serve as a mental baseline and perception of the top teams in the country. Maybe FSU can beat Clemson for some nice chaos this weekend! LOL
Eric Hansen: Jeff, I never like to pin myself down on hypotheticals, because I think you owe it to all teams to be open-minded and fair when it's time to vote. There are so many factors. What if ND wins by a similar margin than it did in 2017? Also where I have a particular team in my poll may be different than where it its in the actual AP poll. And so my voting patterns are based off my poll and not the AP poll in general.
Gene from N.Y.: Hi Eric, thanks for insightful coverage! Don't mean to sound negative, but the Bowling Green game tells us nothing about offensive development. Next two games should tell us if Book is on an upward trajectory or perhaps reached ceiling, if experienced offensive line can look the part, if Armstrong is missing piece to successful running game and if any receiver not named Claypool or Kmet can step up. If not, either the defense leads them to top bowl or CFP, or they are outsiders looking in. Your thoughts?
Eric Hansen: I think the USC game can tell us a lot about both teams. I don't think it defines ND's season. For instance, Armstrong is only supposed to see 20 snaps. To pin his impact on his first game back is short-sighted and unfair. I would expect him to get better the following game, etc.
TomD70 from Lansing: Just a comment this time, Eric. This is almost a three hour chat! Outstanding. Don't know any writer who would give so much time to their clientele. Thanks to you on behalf of all your readers! Hope they don't mind me commenting on their behalf!
Eric Hansen: Thank you, Tom!
Eric Hansen: That looks like a good place to put a period on this week. Thanks for all the great questions. A reminder, there won't be a chat next week because of the bye, but I'll be back Michigan week — Oct. 24 at noon EDT to do it all again.

Virtual conference: Plastics in Peril
Mo. / 16.11.2020 / 09:00 bis Do. / 19.11.2020 / 18:00
Plastics in Peril: Focus on Conservation of Polymeric Materials in Cultural Heritage
Plastic objects are found in every type of museum, ranging from mass produced objects in science and social history collections, to digital media tapes in archives, and to unique and valuable artworks. Unfortunately, some plastic artefacts are highly unstable and plastics in collections are a conservation time bomb.
This conference will discuss real-life approaches to caring for the plastics in our museums, including identification of materials, collection management and storage, conservation treatments, and packaging. Focusing on practical solutions, speakers from leading international institutions will share their experiences of analysing, conserving and caring for plastic heritage. Individual papers and keynotes will be complemented by a panel discussion and virtual coffee breaks to help us connect to one another in digital space. The conference brings together speakers and participants from the University of Cambridge Museums' Plastics in Peril conference (unable to be held earlier in the year due to COVID-19) and a workshop of the Leibniz Museums within the series Conservation in Focus. It is funded by the Action Plan II of the Leibniz Research Museums, a German federal and state government project grant to the Leibniz Research Museums.
Virtual conference, November 16–19, 2020

The workshop series Conservation in focus was established by the Leibniz Research Museum network on restoration and conservation.


Today, my cycle helmet might have saved my life.
This morning, I was cycling to work along my usual route, National Cycle Network Route 51, on its final leg down Banbury Road to Parks Road. Here, the cycle route shares its path with a bus lane, and – on a warm, bright morning like this one, having a broad, flat lane is a great opportunity for a strong cyclist to make great time in a safe environment.
Oxford's multitudinous bus/cycle lanes are great for public transport and even better for cyclists: providing a safe, well-signposted space away from the majority of the main flow of traffic.
As I approached the bus stop, a spotted a car in the lane to my right, just ahead, slow down and turn on it's indicator to turn left: it was heading for one of the driveways. But when the car began its maneuver, a split second later, I realised that the driver had not seen me. Perhaps she'd not checked her mirrors before turning? Or perhaps she'd only glanced (and seen no buses in the bus lane – just me and the second cyclist behind me)? Or perhaps she'd underestimated my speed, or dramatically overestimated her ability to get into the driveway before I reached her? In any case, she turned out to be wrong. I hit my brakes as sharply as I safely could, but it wasn't enough to stop me from ploughing right into the side of her bonnet.
I'm not entirely sure what happened next. At the time, it felt like everything went into slow motion: a gentle flight through the air followed by a gradual landing on the other side, and that I'd be able to recall every single moment. But, probably as a result of the blow to my head (which as I've discovered before can have profound and confusing effects on memory), my memory of everything from a few seconds before the collision onwards is fuzzy and fragmented. But I spoke to the driver (a woman with dark hair), to the cyclist behind me (who was wearing a white t-shirt), and to a man who came out of a nearby building (who spoke with an accent – these details are the only things I can reliably remember about any of them), and based upon their descriptions – any my injuries – I've managed to piece together broadly what happened.
There never was a graceful bicycle crash. Some, however, are less painful than others.
I hit the side of the car and flipped forward, throwing myself, some of the contents of my pannier bag, and my D-lock into the air. My handlebars knocked a dent into the bonnet of the car, and the lock landed elsewhere on it, but I flew clear over the car and flipped around in the air. I'm not sure how I landed, but it was probably on my back, because I struck the backs of my head, right shoulder, and elbow… but I must have rolled, because I also managed to scrape and graze the front of my legs.
I initially thought that I was fine (though I was clearly in shock), but I discovered about a quarter of an hour (or thereabouts: I've only been able to piece together a timeline in hindsight) that I was in more pain than I'd first thought, was feeling intermittently dizzy, and was unable to remember the details of the accident or even what day of the week it was. I asked for a taxi to be called for me and rode to the hospital, where they cleared me of anything seriously wrong (spinal injuries, serious concussion, broken bones, etc.) and sent me home for a day of lying down and mainlining NSAIDs.
A heavy D-lock like mine makes quite an impact when it's catapulted into sheet metal.
Now it's the early evening. I'm still far from entirely "with it": I feel like my brain's been rebooted into safe mode – I seem to be incapable of decent multi-tasking (for example: I can have a conversation with you, or can listen for my name being called by the doctor, but not both). I've got aching shoulders and arms and a bit of a limp. And I've been pretty much exhausted the whole day.
But here's something: if I'm right about the angle I landed at, based on where I hurt the most, then it's possible that my cycle helmet saved my life, today.
Wear your cycle helmet, folks.
The other morning, I did a strange thing. I got up as normal and had my breakfast. I made myself a packed lunch, just like always. I went outside to begin my cycle to work, but when I got to my bike, in the back garden of New Earth: instead of unlocking it and riding to work, I locked it up.
Then, I had to unlock it again so that I could ride it.
Why did this happen? It happened because my brain has clearly made the association that my daily routine includes "toggling my bike lock" as part of it's actions, rather than "unlocking my bike lock". It's become ingrained that I have to "change the state" of my bike lock (from locked to unlocked, or vice-versa) before I can go to work… so when I forgot to lock my bike up the previous night, it threw off my morning as I began the day by locking it up, rather than unlocking it.
A Kryptonite New York lock, like the one I use. It weighs about a ton but it's pretty-much bombproof.
Back when I had my concussion last May, I did a similar thing, swapping the contents of two cupboards that we'd already swapped. I couldn't remember why they were being exchanged, just that they were, so I swapped them over.
Over the River Thames near Friar's Wharf, there's a footbridge that forms a part of the National Cycle Network. It's part of my usual ride to work. A few months ago, I spent my workday running training sessions in an office on the other side of the river, and so I didn't need to cross it to get home. But when I was cycling home, along the towpath, and reached the bridge, I started to cross it! I got half-way over before I realised that I was now heading exactly the wrong way and turned back. Again: my brain clearly has a short-circuit there, in that when I come to that bridge during a journey, I feel that I need to cross it. What's the deal, brain?
I wonder how others experience "toggling". Do you "toggle" things when you're on autopilot?
Last week, we updated to the latest version of the CMS that powers the Bodleian's web site. During the process of installing and testing the new version, we initiated a "content freeze", disallowing the 100+ regular content editors access to the administration sections: any changes they'd have made wouldn't have been replicated in the new version, and we didn't want a discrepancy in content while we were testing that the change had taken! We still had back-end access, of course, and a few minor "emergency" changes were made (on both the old and the new version), but in general, the site was in a read-only mode for several days.
A similar thing happened to my head during this weekend's house move.
BAM! Something struck me on the top of my head. We're still not all in agreement as to whether it was a branch or the wing mirror of the van, but it hurt like hell. My knees buckled up and I collapsed into a heap.
Before long I was on my feet, but as I began to feel dizzy and nauseous, we started to worry that I might be concussed, and Ruth took me to the hospital. By then, I was unable to keep my eyes open without feeling like the world was spinning and I was going to throw up, and I kept feeling like I was moments away from falling asleep.
By the time I'd seen a doctor, about three hours later, I was starting to feel a little better. We took a leaflet of "things to watch out for after a concussion", which advised that I shouldn't lift any heavy things ("But I'm moving house today!") nor use a computer or drink alcohol ("This is my life you're talking about!"), all of which I ignored to some degree or another.
I napped on and off for a lot of Sunday and some of Monday, but it was on Monday that the amount of damage I'd done became most apparent. I got out of bed and staggered downstairs to find that Ruth and JTA had at some point bought a shoe rack. They weren't around, but neither was the van, and I reasoned that they must have been out collecting more boxes, but I thought I might as well make myself useful by assembling this shoe rack they'd gotten. It was of the variety that hangs on the back of a door, so I spent some time deciphering the instructions and putting it together… only to find that it wouldn't actually fit onto any of the (quite thick) doors in our new house.
That's when Ruth & JTA arrived. "I saw you'd bought a shoe rack," I said.
I have no recollection whatsoever of that conversation. Or several other conversations, it seems. In the hospital, I remember that Ruth talked to me for an hour or more (I wasn't capable of conversation myself, some of the time, but it was nice to hear a familiar voice), and I still can't remember any of it except for snippets (something about her father's new house?).
For much of Sunday, my brain went into "content freeze", too. A read-only mode where my memories worked fine, except that I couldn't construct any new ones: everything just went in one ear and out the other. Maybe this is to be expected: a quick look at some maps of brains and an examination of the bump on my head indicates that the blow came to a point squarely in the centre of the middle frontal gyrus (the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex) of the right hemisphere of my brain: an area associated with emotional self-control, social judgement, lateral thinking, and the transfer of working memory.
Still: it was certainly a strange experience to be told about events from only a day earlier that I simply can't remember. It also made Tuesday interesting: long weekends are confusing at the best of times, but parts of my memory made it feel like I'd had only a two-day weekend (as parts of Sunday are simply missing from my memory), and so it was even harder than usual to shake the feeling that it was Monday when I arrived at work on Tuesday. That'll be a pleasant surprise on Friday, anyway, when the weekend "comes early": maybe I should bang my head every time there's a long weekend.

Here in California it is hot, hot, hot! And to combat all the heat we've been getting I've rounded up 11 frozen treats sure to keep you cool.
Summer is definitely in full swing even if it just officially started a couple of days ago. These frozen popsicles, push-ups, and pops will help you stay cool in the heat. I consider myself lucky to live in California's dry heat, I've visited my mom out in Missouri for a summer many years ago and thought I might melt faster than the popsicle I was eating!
Stay cool, and stay hydrated, and enjoy all these fun and delicious recipes for a great way to beat the heat.
I hear ya on the heat. Just got back from Eastern Idaho where it was 107 and in Portland it's been in the high 90's for a while. We could use all of these great frozen treats to cool off!
I tend to like the heat as long as it's dry, I am not a fun of humidity unless it is 100%.
You made my day! Here in Germany it is 38 degrees and I will DEFINITELY try these ... ALL!!!
My first thought at 38 degrees was that you may just be able to freeze these treats outside, but your in Germany so I had to calculate it from Celsius to Fahrenheit (100). You do have some hot weather, try to stay cool!
My kids love frozen treats, so I'm always looking for healthy recipes for them to try! Thanks for the tips!
I think we are going to try the peanut butter and jelly popsicle, my son loves his PB&Js.
Dipped oreo ice cream pops?! Yum!

Newspaper Claims Abortion Triples Breast Cancer Risk
Anna North
The claim that abortion causes breast cancer is simply won't die, despite much evidence to the contrary. This week's culprit (of course) is the Daily Mail.
Allow us to consider Simon Caldwell's scare piece point-by-point. He writes,
An abortion can triple a woman's risk of developing breast cancer in later life, researchers say. [...]
While concluding that breastfeeding offered significant protection from cancer, they also noted that the highest reported risk factor in developing the disease was abortion.
That's right — the researchers (working at the University of Colombo in Sri Lanka) apparently determined that abortion was not just a risk factor for abortion, but the highest one. Higher than genetics? Hormone therapy? Caldwell does claim that abortion increases women's risk more than either smoking or menopause, but he doesn't mention whether the researchers did any genetic testing, or really anything about their methodology. And I had no luck finding the study online — though interestingly, it's being covered almost exclusively by anti-choice websites.
Dr Kat Arney, [Cancer Research UK]'s science information manager, said: 'This is a very small study of only 300 women, so there are likely to be statistical errors in a sample of this size.
'Much larger studies involving tens of thousands of women have shown no significant links.'
Caldwell might have actually discussed some of these studies, like one conducted at Harvard on over 100,000 women, or another in Denmark on 1.5 million women. Instead, here's his next rhetorical move:
But the findings prompted accusations that women in Britain are not being properly informed of the dangers of abortion.
Professor Jack Scarisbrick, the chairman of Life, a pregnancy counselling charity, said: 'This is devastating new evidence of the abortion-breast cancer link. [...]
'When will the (medical) establishment face up to this fact and pull its head out of the sand?
'It is betraying women by failing to warn that what they are doing to their bodies – the quick fix of abortion – can do grave harm.'
I've cut a bit from Scarisbrick's quote — his anti-choice views actually got about twice the ink as Arney's more neutral ones. Caldwell then acknowledges that "Although the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists has acknowledged the possibility of an abortion-breast cancer link, most medical professionals in Britain remain unconvinced." Oh, but that's because their data is flawed:
This is because an international study led by Oxford University concluded in 2004 that having an abortion does not heighten a woman's risk.
Some scientists say, however, that the Oxford research was flawed because many of the women studied were too young to have developed the disease.
Again, not sure why Caldwell failed to mention the Danish or Harvard studies, which I'd assume many British doctors are familiar with. Also, he's not specific about the Oxford study he's referring to, but the American Cancer Society website describes an international study by Oxford researchers that sounds a lot less flawed than he's implying:
The Collaborative Group on Hormonal Factors in Breast Cancer, based out of Oxford University in England, recently put together the results from 53 separate studies done in 16 different countries. These studies included about 83,000 women with breast cancer [emphasis mine]. After combining and reviewing the results from these studies, the researchers concluded that "the totality of worldwide epidemiological evidence indicates that pregnancies ending as either spontaneous or induced abortions do not have adverse effects on women's subsequent risk of developing breast cancer."
Caldwell winds up his piece thus:
There has been an 80 per cent increase in the rate of breast cancer since 1971, when in the wake of the Abortion Act, the number of abortions rose from 18,000 to nearly 200,000 a year.
Earlier this year, Dr Louise Brinton, a senior researcher with the U.S. National Cancer Institute who did not accept the link, reversed her position to say she was now convinced abortion increased the risk of breast cancer by about 40 per cent.
As to the first point, someone might want to remind Caldwell that correlation does not imply causation. Or that abortions might have been the teensiest bit underreported when they were illegal. And as to the second, one cancer researcher may be convinced of a link between abortion and breast cancer. But the U.S. National Cancer Institute itself, after pulling together more than 100 cancer experts in 2003, concluded that while full-term pregnancy increased breast cancer risk for a short time, abortion had no effect. And here's what the American Cancer Society has to say on the subject:
The issue of abortion generates passionate viewpoints in many people. Breast cancer is the most common cancer, and is the second leading cancer killer in women (lung cancer is the first). Still, the public is not well-served by false alarms. At this time, the scientific evidence does not support the notion that abortion of any kind raises the risk of breast cancer.
Given the choice between the American Cancer Society and studies of more than a million women, or one study of 300 reported in a paper known for its anti-woman coverage, I know which one I'd believe.

L'irlandese fa parte delle Lingue celtiche, precisamente delle Lingue celtiche insulari.

Sintassi
La sintassi della lingua irlandese si basa, come le altre lingue gaeliche, sulla forma VSO (Verbo-soggetto-oggetto).

Un aspetto distintivo della sintassi irlandese è l'uso della copula, ( an chopail in irlandese). La copula is viene usata per descrivere l'identità permanente o la caratteristica di persona o cosa opponendosi, pertanto, agli aspetti temporanei di una data caratteristica, descritta con la copula tà ; la differenza tra l'utilizzo di una copula, per una descrizione permanente, e il mancato utilizzo di tale elemento grammaticale, è stato paragonato, nonostante il paragone non sia perfettamente esatto, alla differenza tra i verbi ser e estar in spagnolo e portoghese ed essere e stare in italiano.

Esempi sono:

Sostantivi
L'irlandese è una lingua flessiva, che ha, nella sua forma standard, i seguenti casi: comune (ovvero i casi nominativo e accusativo), vocativo, genitivo e dativo. I sostantivi sono, inoltre, divisi in due generi: maschili e femminili.

Genere
I nomi in irlandese sono divisi in due generi, maschile e femminile. Benché il genere sia consigliato impararlo parola per parola, esistono certe regole che permettono di differenziare il genere: in generale, infatti, i lemmi terminanti con una consonante "stretta" sono femminili, quelli terminanti con una vocale "larga" sono maschili.

Esistono, tuttavia, delle eccezioni, essenzialmente concernenti specifiche terminazioni e suffissi; per esempio, le parole terminanti in -óir/-eoir e -ín (con una "stretta"  e  rispettivamente) sono maschili, mentre le parole terminanti in -óg/-eog (con una "larga" ) sono femminili. Questo porta ad assegnamenti di generi bizzarri, come per la parola cailín, che significa "ragazza" ma è un termine maschile, e per gasóg, che significa "boy scout" ma è femminile.

Casi
L'irlandese ha quattro casi: comune (generalmente chiamato nominativo, ma svolge anche il ruolo di accusativo - corrispondendo ai casi diretti e detto ainmneach in irlandese), vocativo (gairmeach in irlandese), genitivo (ginideach in irlandese) e dativo (tabharthach in irlandese).

Comune
Il caso comune (o nominativo) è usato nelle seguenti funzioni:
 Soggetto della frase
Tá an cat ag ól. "Il gatto sta bevendo"
 Oggetto della frase
Bhris Seán an fhuinneog. "Seán ha rotto la finestra"
 Predicatativo della copula
 Is amadán é. "Lui è un idiota"
 Oggetto delle locuzioni prepositive gan ("senza") e go dtí ("fino a")
gan an t-airgead. ("Senza i soldi")
go dtí an t-am. ("Fino al tempo ")

Vocativo
Il caso vocativo è usato in discorsi diretti ed è sempre preceduto dalla particella a, che causa una lenizione (nell'irlandese parlato questa particella è spesso omessa, specialmente prima di un suono vocalico). La prima declinazione è la sola declinazione in cui il vocativo è diverso dal nominativo.
 Cá bhfuil tú, a mhic? ("Dove sei, figlio?")
 A Sheáin, tar anseo! ("Seán, vieni qui!")

Genitivo
Il genitivo viene usato per esprimere una specificazione, più precisamente un possesso, o il materiale di composizione:
 Hata an fhir. ("Il cappello del signore")
 Clann na mná. ("I bambini della signora")
 Coinnleoirí an easpaig. ("Il candelabro del vescovo")
 Fáinne óir. ("Un anello d'oro")
 Bróga leathair. ("Scarpe di cuoio")

Anche l'oggetto del nome verbale richiede l'uso del genitivo:
 Ag caitheamh airgid. ("Lo spendere soldi")

L'oggetto di una preposizione composta è in caso genitivo. Formalmente, queste preposizioni sono attualmente delle locuzioni prepositive:
 Ar chúl an dorais. ("Dietro la porta", letteralmente "Sul retro della porta")
 Ar feadh míosa. ("Per la durata di un mese")
 Ar son na hÉireann. ("Per amor d'Irlanda")

Dativo
Il caso dativo è usato come oggetto di molte locuzioni prepositive semplici (ad eccezione di gan e go dtí per le quali si usa il caso comune).
Nella lingua irlandese standard, il caso dativo di un sostantivo è identico al nominativo, ma in alcuni dialetti, come quello di Munster, hanno forme distinte per il dativo della seconda e della quinta declinazione.
Ciononostante, anche nella lingua standard, Éire (Irlanda) ha una forma distinta per il dativo: Éirinn.
 Ag an athair. ("Al padre")
 As an teach. ("Fuori di casa")
 Ar an arán. ("Sul pane")
 In oráiste. ("In un'arancia")
 Leis an airgead. ("Coi soldi")
 ó Éirinn. ("Dall'Irlanda")

Declinazione
Esistono cinque declinazioni in irlandese. La composizione delle declinazioni dipendono da tre fattori:
 il genere del nome,
 la formazione del genitivo singolare,
 nesso tra genitivo singolare e nominativo plurale.

La seguente tabella descrive le caratteristiche di ogni classe di declinazione:

Articoli
L'articolo determinativo ha due forme in irlandese: an e na.
Il loro uso dipende dal numero del sostantivo a cui si riferisce, dal caso del nome e dalla lettera iniziale del sostantivo che l'articolo in questione precede.

La tabelle seguente dà un esempio di un nome che inizia per consonante e di uno che inizia vocale in ogni caso e genere.

Dativo (I) è usato con tutte le preposizioni nella parlata dell'Ulster; altrove è usato sono con den ("dal"), don ("al") e sa(n) ("nel"). Dativo (II) è usato solo fuori dall'Ulster con tutte le preposizioni.

L'articolo non lenisce mai una t o d che segue, e la s è lenita in ts (), anziché nell'usuale sh.

Non esiste l'articolo indeterminativo in irlandese, quindi la sua presenza dipende solamente dal contesto: cat, per esempio, può significare "gatto" o "un gatto". Dunque, tá peann agam significa "ho una penna" e
tá madra sa seomra significa "c'è un cane nella stanza".

Aggettivi

Gli aggettivi irlandesi seguono sempre il nome.  L'aggettivo è influenzato dal caso, dal numero e dal genere del sostantivo che lo precede.

  "La bambina" - nominativo singolare maschile
  "La povera donna" - nominativo femminile singolare
  "I ragazzi" - nominativo maschile plurale

Gli aggettivi in irlandese hanno due gradi morfologici di comparazione: il positivo, ad es.   "il ragazzo è amichevole", e il comparativo, ad es.   "la ragazza è più carina del ragazzo".  Un senso superlativo è reso dal comparativo in una proposizione relativa, ad es.   "Seán è il più simpatico dei tre".

Aggettivi numerali

Numeri cardinali
Esistono tre tipologie di numeri cardinali in irlandese: i numeri disgiuntivi, i numeri congiuntivi non-umani e numeri congiuntivi umani.

 Numeri disgiuntivi

Questi numeri sono usati, per esempio, in aritmetica, nel dire l'orario, nei numeri di telefono e dopo taluni sostantivi nelle forme come bus a trí déag ("autobus n° 13") o seomra a dó ("stanza n° 2").

 Numeri congiuntivi non-umani

Questi numeri vengono usati per contare sostantivi che non si riferiscono a persone. Nell'esempio seguente verranno contati capall ("cavalli"):

 Numeri congiuntivi umani

Questi numeri vengono usati per contare sostantivi che si riferiscono a persone. Nell'esempio seguente verranno contati páistí ("bambini"):

A partire dal numero 13, i numeri congiuntivi umani si formano come i corrispettivi numeri non-umani:

Numeri ordinali

Verbi

Ci sono due coniugazioni e 11 verbi irregolari. Tempi o stati d'animo si formano flettendo la radice, e nel passato e nell'abituale tempo passato e il modo condizionale anche lenindo qualsiasi consonante iniziale.  Le forme flesse del tempo e del modo sono: presente indicativo, presente indicativo abituale (differisce dal presente solo nel verbo  "essere"), futuro, indicativo passato, indicativo passato abituale, condizionale, imperativo,  congiuntivo presente e congiuntivo passato.  I verbi hanno anche un nome verbale e un passato participio, e costruzioni progressivo simili a quelle che utilizzano il participio presente inglese possono essere formati dal sostantivo verbale e da un tempo appropriato di .  Esempi di coniugazioni tese: (tutte le forme di terza persona senza pronome soggetto):

 1° coniugazione:  "lasciare" –  (passato) –  (presente) –  (futuro) –  (condizionale) –  (passato abituale) –  (  congiuntivo) –  (imperativo)

 2° coniugazione:  "comprare" –  (passato) –  (presente) –  (futuro) –  (condizionale) –  (passato abituale) –  (congiuntivo) –  (imperativo)

 Irregolare:  "andare" –  (passato) –  (presente) –  (futuro) –  (condizionale) –  (passato abituale) –  (congiuntivo) –  (imperativo)

Oltre alla voce passiva, c'è illa forma impersonale del verbo, chiamato  o "verbo autonomo", che svolge una funzione simile (la traduzione più letterale è "Tu/Uno/Loro...[es. dire, sono, fare]").

I verbi possono essere coniugati sia sinteticamente (con il pronome personale incluso nella flessione del verbo) o analitico (con il verbo flesso solo per il tempo e un soggetto separato)  .  Tuttavia, lo standard ufficiale generalmente prescrive la forma analitica nella maggior parte delle combinazioni di tempo personale e quella sintetica solo in alcuni casi, come la prima persona plurale.  Le forme analitiche sono generalmente preferite anche nei dialetti occidentali e settentrionali, tranne in risposta a quelle che in inglese sarebbero domande "sì/no", mentre l'Irlandese del Munster preferisce le forme sintetiche.  Ad esempio, le seguenti sono la forma standard, la forma sintetica e la forma analitica del passato di  "correre":

Pronomi

Fonologia

Una caratteristica notevole della fonologia irlandese è che le consonanti (eccetto ) sono a coppie, una "larga" (velarized, pronunciata con il dorso della lingua tirato indietro verso il morbido palato) e uno "snello" (palatalizzato, pronunciato con il centro della lingua spinto in alto verso il palato duro).
