THE NEW EDITION of Irish institution Old Moore’s Almanac has been released for 2014. And as ever, we are most interested in its predictions for the year ahead.
Here’s what the mysterious minds at Old Moore’s believe is in store. How many d’you think will prove true?
1. Good tracts of sun in summer, a good year to have a “staycation” at home in Ireland.
2. 3D Printers will become more mainstream, and a “food-printer café” will open experimentally.
3. There will be a lot of news about the resurrection of extinct species. The woolly mammoth and sabre-tooth tiger will be named, as well as types of resurrected food, which will be dubbed “ghostfood”.
4. Miley Cyrus will go for a softer, more feminine look, and she will crash mid-year. She will need some time to recuperate and her money is in danger of being invested badly.
5. The price of food is about to go crazy. There will be food riots in some countries.

6. There will be drama around the new World Trade Centre.
7. Shanghai Tower will have a weather-related problem that will need fixing.
8. Drugs to prevent obesity with real promise enter the market. There will be new exercise equipment that you sit or stand in, which stimulates the muscles to achieve the same effect as physical exercise.
9. Separate body parts will be cloned for organ transplants; not an entire body.
10. A drama for Air Force One, but Obama is not on board.
