I know, I know. Considering it’s been dangerously hot out for the last week baking doesn’t seem quite like the thing to do.
Thankfully Paul doesn’t mind that I keep the AC set to 70.
There’s been so many zucchini from the garden and there’s local peaches for sale at our Whole Foods Market, so I was itching to do something. Plus my computer got virused and I couldn’t get online for a few days.
Not that I honestly have wanted to do anything while it’s been this hot other than lay around and nap (the pool water’s been into the 95 range, so we can’t even swim) , but I couldn’t let all this goodness go bad.
First up was a twist on plain ol’ Zucchini Bread that I found while wandering around Pinterest.
Zucchini Blueberry Bread. (Click the link to go straight to the recipe)
Fortunately I am also swimming in an abundance of eggs so I got to use of some of those as well.
Grated zucchini plus plump fresh blueberries in a sweet and cinnamon-y batter. Yum!
I can tell it’s awesomely good, but I can’t tell you much more because Neve’s barely let me have any.
Clearly it’s excellent summer snacking for the 8 year old crowd.
Next up is Peach Cobbler from a Country Living article a summer or two ago. It’s made in a cast iron skillet, which I find incredibly charming and rustic in a fruit dessert.
You can go right to the recipe by clicking on it above, but basically you get a bunch of fresh peaches, scald them in boiling water to soften them up a bit and make the skin slide off nice and easily.
You make a luscious topping with your dry ingredients (plus a hint of dried ginger) and toss your sliced peaches in a bowl with sugar and vanilla. I added a bunch of cinnamon as well.
Throw it in your cast iron skillet, top it with your chilled topping like so:
Throw it in the oven and bake it and enjoy the magnificent aromas that will fill your kitchen.
Then it will disappear with alarming speed, I guarantee.
Just like peach and zucchini season will disappear before we know it as well. So go forth and enjoy the fruits of summer while they last!
Love the peach crumble! My fave! Thanks for sharing! I’m new to blogging and love that there is a foodie community! If you have time, please check out my blog: http://shecooksandheeats.wordpress.com/. And of course! Any advice would be great 🙂

Leicester Tigers strengthen pack with three additions for new Aviva Premiership season
- Leicester Tigers have added Brendon O'Connor, Opeti Fonua and Mike Williams to their squad
- O'Connor is being brought to Welford Road from Auckland Blues
- Back-row forward Fonua has been recruited from London Welsh
- Lock Williams heads to the east midlands from Worcester
Aviva Premiership club Leicester have signed three new forwards for next season.
The Tigers announced that Auckland Blues' Brendon O'Connor, his fellow back-row forward Opeti Fonua and lock Mike Williams will move to Welford Road later this year.
Fonua has been recruited from London Welsh - he previously played for French clubs Auch, Agen and Bayonne - while Williams will head to the east midlands from Worcester.
Leicester's rugby director Richard Cockerill has strengthened his pack with three new additions to the squad
Back-row Opeti Fonua (second right) is being brought in by the Tigers from London Welsh
O'Connor, 25, is qualified to represent England. He has played Super Rugby for the Blues and Canterbury-based Crusaders, in addition to captaining Hawke's Bay.
Leicester rugby director Richard Cockerill said: 'Our priority is to have a strong finish to the current season, but alongside that we are also working hard on recruitment and retention of players in the squad ahead of next season.
'The back-five in the scrum is an area where we have been looking to build strength in depth, and I'm delighted that we can confirm three new signings for next season.
'Opeti Fonua is a powerful ball-carrier with great physicality in his game.
'He is a big man and a formidable presence in the back-row with a lot of experience in European rugby.
'Mike Williams is powerful and abrasive, playing at lock or as a blindside flanker, while Brendon O'Connor is a classic Kiwi openside who is very highly regarded within New Zealand.
'We're sure all three signings will have a big impact in the squad and, as a coaching team, we look forward to working with them and new head coach Aaron Mauger.'

Rugby Australia finds the gap
It takes a lot to push the election campaign aside even briefly but this is what has happened as Australia has performed a brilliant coup to snaffle the four nations Rugby Championship later this year from New Zealand.
The championship will now be held in Australia from November 7 to December 12, leaving this country with the consolation — and it is not a small one in fairness — of two Bledisloe Cup tests on October 17 and 22 which will hopefully be played in full stadiums.
New Zealand has been left with a blame game between NZ Rugby and the Government. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern says the country has been the victim of Sanzaar politics, which NZ Rugby chief executive Mark Robinson denies.
Australia has based its coup on being able to offer a shorter quarantine time, even though the New Zealand Government had agreed to relax regulations to allow teams to fully train together earlier.
Australia will allow teams in quarantine to train together on day one but in New Zealand, at least under the present regulations, they would not be allowed to have 25 players training together until day seven or eight.
The Aussies could be taking a chance — two of the four teams, Argentina and South Africa, are among the top 10 countries for reported coronavirus cases. Players testing positive during the championship could derail it.
The loss of the championship is another financial blow for NZ Rugby, with an estimated cost of $100m.
While NZ Rugby is blaming the restrictions, there are signs that Rugby Australia's head Hamish McLennan is a shrewd operator who has lifted the game there from a struggling situation to one where it is on the up and up. McLennan and his organisation are now lobbying strongly to host the 2027 Rugby World Cup and two years before that they have the financial and publicity bonus of a Lions tour.
It is hard to gauge whether the loss of the championship could hurt the Government in next month's elections. New Zealand is becoming more divided between those who love rugby and those opposed to it, while many neutrals would see it unfair for sports people to get special privileges.
The first of the Bledisloe tests is on election day but with an evening kick-off it should not have any real effect on whether people vote or not.
But the sooner New Zealand can come out of level two, the better for sport and indirectly the Government.

Text description provided by the architects. The R+1 project proposes to articulate the elements of the Binaural Studio, the Bar, the Workshop, and the Exhibition area around a generous meeting space located close to the vestibule, facing the city.
It is a panoptic layout making the central staircase the gravity point. This proposal will give the meeting space its dynamic nature as a place of exchange, learning, and gathering.
The workshop is an extension of it, showing the internal activity of this space. A light and reversible layout of the textile creates a visual and sound filter with the meeting space and the exhibition space. This filter can be adapted to the uses.
The exhibition area, a 400m2 white cube extending the initial intention of the "toolbox", will find its place at the back of the stage, taking advantage of the sound and light ceiling, the linear display of rails, and the technical accesses designed for the project.


As doctors across BC try to meet the unprecedented demands that the COVID-19 pandemic has placed on them, reports of physician burnout are increasing. But what does burnout actually look like? How do you recognize the early warning signs so you can take steps to prevent it? And where do doctors go for help?
In this episode of DocTalks, psychiatrist Dr Jennifer Russel and family doctor Dr Lawrence Yang share their perspectives about how burnout affects doctors, how to recognize it, and what steps to take to minimize the impact. From personal coping strategies, to implementing leadership and QI methodology, and advocating for system-wide enhancements, our guests share what methods they’ve adopted – both in their personal and professional lives – to stay well, and what supports are available to doctors that can really made a difference.

Teachers may achieve better learning outcomes from Aboriginal students if they set their expectations higher, prominent Aboriginal educationalist Professor Chris Sarra told Conference.
“As an educator, you can collude with mediocrity or you can nurture greatness,” Professor Sarra, founder and Chairman of the Stronger Smarter Institute, told delegates. “Setting expectations higher for Aboriginal students can make a real and powerful difference to their education and to their expectations of themselves.”
Taking an analogy from State of Origin football, he related a conversation he had with former Queensland coach Mal Meninga, who said setting high expectations was one reason why his team had been so successful.
“[Meninga said] ‘I used to tell my boys that when they go on the field they just need to give me 110 per cent if you can and that’s all I care about. If you can just do that then the scoreboard will just take care of itself’,” Professor Sarra said.
This approach is “the perfect analogy for the challenges we face” in Aboriginal education. While NAPLAN is just the scoreboard, “what we should be focused on is giving 110 per cent at the most sacred place in our schools and that is where teachers stare children in the face” — in the classroom.
In everyday ways, teachers can work harder to change whatever negative perceptions they have of Aboriginal students and not collude with low-expectation stereotypes.
This means applying the same expectations to Aboriginal students that teachers would for other students. It may also mean having “robust” conversations with parents about their children's school attendance, or not letting them get away with swearing at teachers or disrupting the classroom.
At Cherbourg State School in Queensland, Professor Sarra was appointed as the first Murri principal where he made a notable difference to educational outcomes and attendance rates of Aboriginal students by raising expectations and communicating that to students.
“We found some keys to success and we wanted to share that around,” he said. “As educators, we either pursue a stronger, smarter Aboriginal student identity or we collude with the negative stereotypes.
“We as teachers in classrooms, we as principals, we as union members or Federation, [should know] our day-to-day actions and beliefs and behaviours will either collude with this perception or set about smashing it to bits.”
“I have actively rejected that kind of negative Aboriginal stereotype and I got kids at Cherbourg to reject absolutely the negative stereotypical view,” he said.
Chris Sarra is Professor of Education at the University of Canberra, teaching and researching school leadership, Indigenous education and educational equity.
In a separate address to deliver the Aboriginal Education Report, Federation Aboriginal Education Coordinator Charline Emzin-Boyd said there are now 1289 Aboriginal members of Federation.
There are now more than 57,000 Aboriginal students in NSW schools and 26 Aboriginal teachers attended this year’s Annual Conference.

Can magnetic resonance imaging solve the prostate cancer conundrum?
The debate about prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing for the diagnosis of prostate cancer continues to rage. The United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) and the equivalent Canadian body have both advised against PSA screening.1,2 On the other hand, many authoritative bodies, including the American Urological Association,3 the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (US), the American Cancer Society, the European Association of Urology,4 and our own Urological Society of Australia and New Zealand recommend that, instead of population-based screening, decisions about PSA testing of men aged 55–69 years should be shared by doctors and individual patients.
While the USPSTF acknowledged the potential benefit of PSA screening for reducing cancer mortality and morbidity, it decided that the significant potential harms outweighed this benefit. The ongoing impact on the patient’s quality of life of the side effects of the various treatments, such as erectile dysfunction and urinary incontinence, are well documented,5 but the diagnostic biopsy itself is also associated with potential morbidity and, if rarely, mortality.6,7
These harms can be summarised…

China is restricting video games, thinking that they demasculinize men, making them weaker and less interested in starting a family. Family is increasingly becoming important to China due to the impact of the one-child policy, which resulted in a dearth of women. Instead of boys playing video games, they are to do more P.E. in school and learn traditional masculine values.
What was not really discussed in this episode: Is China doing this, in part, for military preparation.

The quickest way to tell whether an actor is serious about his or her career is to look at their “headshot”.Is it a professional photo? Or is it a snapshot taken on prom night?

I’m sorry, people… you can send me as much angry e-mail as you want about this, but it’s true! Don’t tell me you’re destined to be a major Hollywood star but you cannot scrape together the cash to get professional headshots.

Thank you Tiny Prints for making it easy to chose from such a great variety of cards for the special events we have in our life. Keep up the great work!"
"Great card - Customization options are extensive; including text and rounded corners. Wonderful quality and design. Tiny Prints did it again!"
"Designing this card was easy and instantly rewarding because the editing process is so user friendly. Once my daughter and I submitted our proof it seemed like the invitations were on her doorstep. We were so pleased with the fast service! The invitations themselves are beautiful. The colors are saturated, the card stock is nice and heavy, and the overall appearance is best described with the word precious. When my daughter and I opened the shipping package we both said, ahhhh at the same time. I recommend this design and I also give two thumbs up to Tiny Prints for being such a great company to work with."

As wet, cold, windy weather lingers into May for much of Ohio, there are growing concerns about the growing weeds in unplanted fields.
“We always get questions about the cold weather. We had a warm winter and we actually have winter annuals larger than they have been in other years. I have been hearing about chickweed that is 8 to 10 inches tall, which makes for a really challenging burndown situation. A lot of times, you can take those down really fast in warm weather with the right herbicides,” said Mark Loux, Ohio State University herbicide specialist. “Cool weather is a big concern and then wet weather is another challenge. It is hard to give really concrete guidelines in this situation. If it is hitting freezing at night, cloudy in the day and 40 or 50 degrees, that is obviously not a good situation to spray and you probably want to wait that out.… Continue readingRead More »

A Girl Received a $30,000 prize from Microsoft for discovering a flaw in the Azure cloud system.
In 2019, 20-year old Aditi Singh won a cash prize of over $7,000 from Instagram after finding a bug in its code. Two years later in 2021, she found a bug in Microsoft Azure making her win $30,000. Great rewards for finding errors, no?
An Indian girl uncovered a significant bug in the system and was rewarded for her outstanding achievement. Aditi Singh, an ethical hacker, received a $30,000 (about ₹22 lakh) prize from Microsoft for discovering a flaw in the Azure cloud system. Aditi identified a similar problem on Facebook two months ago, thus this is the second significant bug she has found. As per a report, Aditi identified a remote code execution (RCE) flaw in Microsoft’s Azure cloud system.
Although, Aditi found the RCE problem in Microsoft Azure two months ago, and the business was also notified. The firm did not reply quickly as it was waiting to see if anyone had downloaded the vulnerable version of the system, as per the report.
Aditi revealed why the RCE bug occurred. She said that instead of writing code directly, developers should have first downloaded a Node Package Manager. Aditi was reported as stating, “Developers should create code only once they have the NPM.”
Aditi also discussed how she became interested in ethical hacking, a subject in which she has been working for the past two years. Her first hacking incident occurred when she was able to gain access to her neighbour’s Wi-Fi password. When she was studying for her medical admission test, NEET, she got interested in ethical hacking. While she did not complete medical school, she did discover flaws in over 40 different firms, including Facebook, TikTok, Microsoft, Mozilla, Paytm, Ethereum, and HP. Aditi went on to say that she became convinced about ethical hacking after discovering an OTP bypass flaw in TikTok’s Forgot Password function.
Microsoft for discovering a flaw in the Azure cloud system.
Previously, another Indian, Mayur Fartade, was given $30,000 for discovering a flaw on Instagram that may have allowed malevolent parties to see “targeted media” without following a user by using the Media ID. Fartade reported the problem to the company’s security team on 16th April, and he says that the issue was fixed by patching the bug on 15th June.

Changes to Maximum Allowable Weight of Greasy Wool Bales
Changes to Maximum Allowable Weight of Greasy Wool Bales in Industry Code of Practice
The National Council of New Zealand Wool Interests Inc comprises associations and organisations involved in the domestic and international trading of greasy and scoured wool. The Council acts as the New Zealand member of the International Wool Textile Organisation, which represents the interests of the wool textile trade at the global level.
The National Council and its members are committed to providing a safe working environment throughout the wool industry. Increasing concerns relating to bales weighing over 200kg (which are estimated to cover approximately 6% of the national clip) have prompted the Council to address the issue. Bales weighing in excess of 200kg can contribute to workplace accidents and throughout the industry provide a significant problem during dumping and shipping. These bales have been assessed as hazards during transport and handling, with changes deemed necessary to comply with tougher Occupational Health and Safety laws being introduced in New Zealand.
As a consequence, the National Council has recently made amendments to the Industry Code of Practice in relation to the maximum allowable weight of bales of greasy wool. The maximum allowable weight is now restricted to 200kg.
The New Zealand Wool Brokers Association and the Federation of Private Wool Merchants have been actively promoting the new bale weight limits to growers through their respective newsletters. Woolgrowers are encouraged to comply with the new bale weight limit to minimise any re-packing and additional charges that may be incurred.

The movement needs your voice
Date: 28 January 2015
2015 is election year for Global Justice Now. Taking place every three years, council elections determine the governing body of Global Justice Now, which is made up of a range of people including recent and long-term supporters of the organisation and activists from local groups. Now, before you think this isn’t relevant to me – STOP – yes it is, and we need your voice on council.
The heart of Global Justice Now is its members and local group activists. I’ve been a member of Global Justice Now since about 2001, and over the years I have campaigned on issues from GATS to food speculation. I have helped put on public meetings, lobby MPs and MEPs, run stalls, taken part in demonstrations and campaign stunts, set up and run group websites and managed social media activities. I’m saying this, not because it’s unique, but because it’s an example of what a lot of you reading this will have been involved in too.
People often say “but I don’t have any skills to offer”. This isn’t true, of course, everyone has skills. And in fact members and activists have a really valuable skill. You are out there on the streets, engaging the public and encouraging action. You know the ups and downs of campaigning for social and economic justice and you understand how the UK public responds to our campaigns. This experience is really useful to council and the governance of the organisation. It helps Global Justice Now develop and improve its campaign strategies and ensures that the experiences of grassroots activists are represented.
The benefits of being on council is two-way. Global Justice Now benefits from your grassroots campaigning experience, and you are given a chance to develop, as I have, a great understanding of how a democratic activist organisation is run and be a part of managing and developing its overall direction. During my nearly six years on council I’ve been involved in the recruitment of our director and with the relaunch, and have been a part of the oversight and decision-making processes that ensure that staff have the structural resources and support they need in order to be able to deliver the campaigns and successes that we are all fighting for.
Saving the best until last, you get to work with a wonderful bunch of people, all of whom who are friendly and inspiring and give a damn about making this world a better place for all. And you get a free lunch.
I encourage you to stand for election to the Global Justice Now council. The movement needs your voice.
If you are not already a member of Global Justice Now, you can join here

Occupation: Sound Artist, Producer
Current Release: I Started Wearing Black and I Started Wearing Black Remixes on Monika Enterprise
Recommendations: The book "The Vegetarian" by Han Kang recently impressed me a lot for its radical, consequent narrative and unreliable, abstract form. I could not imagine a better way to speak out what Han Kang transmitted in this book.
Website / Contact: If you enjoyed this interview with Sonae, visit her website and facebook page.
When did you start writing/producing music - and what or who were your early passions and influences? What what is about music and/or sound that drew you to it?
When I was a teenager (1990s) I discovered DJing. I'm from a small village, I didn't like what the girls did, which is why I was more hanging with boys - and skateboarding and DJing was around. I never really made it into pop music, as a ballet dancer and grandchild of a piano teacher I felt closer to classical music. Electronic music was a thankful alternative. So it was my personal setting that paved my way for DJing and later (2011) producing electronic music.
For most artists, originality is first preceded by a phase of learning and, often, emulating others. What was this like for you? How would you describe your own development as an artist and the transition towards your own voice? What is the the relationship between copying, learning and your own creativity?
Exploring the fields of electronic music, learning about styles, their parameters, their contextualisation in the scene - I learnt all this as a DJ. So it wasn't difficult for me to dive into the process of developing my own language as a producer. Also because I wasn't that young anymore, about 30 years old - a good age for artistic work: you have gathered enough experiences in life, you've been partying and participating in the scene enough. It's a good starting point for reflection, adaption, transformation. It is also a good reason for intense learning. After debuting with my first album "Far away is right aroung the Corner" (Monika Enterprise, 2015) I went back to university and did a Master at the Institute for Popular Music of Folkwang University of Arts. It was important for me to have these years to reflect about my status quo after the debut and to define the direction I wanted to take for my second album.
Of course, I always have a curious ear and eye on artists and releases. But I am not so much a copying person. Rather, I am a sponge when it comes to learning about the technical side and I never get tired of attending workshops, summer classes or bothering my teachers with "emails by an alumni".
What were your main compositional- and production-challenges in the beginning and how have they changed over time?
For sure the technical side of production has been the most demanding part for me because I seriously did not have a clue. But I was lucky. Right after I'd decided to work with Ableton live, I found a note that there would be a remix workshop in my town teaching the use of that software to beginners. I attended remix:regendered in Winter 2011 and learned production basics within a week. I got heavily infected with the production virus just like I did before with DJing - since then I haven´t stopped making my own music.
What was your first studio like? How and for what reasons has your set-up evolved over the years and what are currently some of the most important pieces of gear for you?
For the remix workshop I borrowed an old laptop from my brother with an extremely loud air vent because I only had a 1GB RAM tower PC at home. All my tracks produced before 2013, including my debut album, were realised on that tower PC - I had to freeze all stems and unfreeze them for every single change. Then freeze them back to listen to the piece. A meditative work!
Even today I only buy what I really need to realise my ideas. I do not use a lot of plugins. Of course now I have a laptop for live performances but it's been the same for 5 years now. The most important thing for me was to get me a fieldrecorder to record small instruments, the sound of things or my piano at home. It was important for me to build up a huge selection of my own sounds, beginning with a recording, later processing these recordings. This means 99% of my sounds are really self-made. Only recently, I started using on board instruments. I had to manifest my musical vocabulary first.
When it comes to gear I like boutique budget tools. I love the Korg mini series, the Akai mini controllers, or the good old Korg nano control. I don't believe in expensive gear and I don't need a huge studio. I believe in musicality, in good taste and educated ears.
How do you make use of technology? In terms of the feedback mechanism between technology and creativity, what do humans excel at, what do machines excel at?
Technical possibilities can be totally inspiring! As a vinyl DJ I feel very inspired by the additional options through digital DJing. But at the same time, I see a very poor form of DJing today - mostly performed by DJs who obviously never learnt how to DJ with vinyl. Equipment is inspiring, new machines, new sounds, new tools. At the same time, I see many producers owning a lot of gear but delivering totally random and not interesting results. It all has it good and it bad sides. It is up to us to decide.
I love learning and I constantly develop my work. I do it in a slow but intense way, so I can truly understand what I am doing. I focus on ideas more than I focus on new tech.
Production tools, from instruments to complex software environments, contribute to the compositional process. How does this manifest itself in your work? Can you describe the co-authorship between yourself and your tools?
Ah, this question is exactly referring to what I tried to speak about in my previous answer. And as you may have guessed by now, I consider me the only author of my work. I do not dedicate my work to the typical sound of a certain machine, and my set-up is so very much my instrument that it will never take over control. It is me riding the bike, not the other way around. Though there are magical things happening again and again when I am in the studio, the result of an unexplainable chain of things ... but I would not consider it as co-authorship of machines, rather as witchcraft.
Collaborations can take on many forms. What role do they play in your approach and what are your preferred ways of engaging with other creatives through, for example, file sharing, jamming or just talking about ideas?
To be honest, I am very much a solo worker. I am part of Monika Werkstatt which is the recording and live performing collective of label Monika Enterprise. We are touring together and we released an album together. I even did a side collaboration with Danielle de Picciotto, we released an album together. And AGF and Natalie TBA Beridze did the same. So our label collective is super fruitful. But we are super aware that we are not a band or something, we all are solo artists. And this is how it works for me - I do collaborate, but what is happening there does not really affect my solo work.
But you mentioned "talking about ideas" as a form of collaboration. Well, for me talking about ideas is happening in friendships.

How Can I Keep My Ears Cleaner
Healthy ears are self-cleaning. The wax is carried out in a conveyor belt motion through the movement of the skin lining your ear canals. This means, for the most part, there is no need to manually remove it. Therefore, the only part of the ear which should be cleaned is the exterior. Your daily shower is usually enough to do this. Wipe the wax away from the outer part of the ear with a face washer. If you feel the need to dry the inside of your ears, try a hairdryer on low heat instead of a cotton bud. This way, you avoid potentially pushing wax down the canal.
Putting Things In Your Ears
There are a few items that are meant to go into your ears. These include:
- Earplugs to protect your hearing or keep water out.
- Hearing aids to help you hear.
In these cases, the benefits may outweigh the risks. But your ears dont know the difference between helpful things in your ears and harmful ones. They may produce extra wax to try to push them out.
Reasons To Leave Earwax Alone
- By Robert H. Shmerling, MD, Senior Faculty Editor, Harvard Health Publishing
Follow me on Twitter @RobShmerling
Can you think of something you do thats nearly irresistible, widely popular, but a bad idea thats based on a health myth? Thats right, Im talking about inserting cotton-tipped swabs into your ears.
According to guidelines from the American Academy of Otolaryngology/Head and Neck Surgery Foundation, experts strongly discourage twirling cotton-tipped swabs in the ears. Heres why.
1. Its unnecessary
The ear is self-cleaning. No routine maintenance is required. If youre inserting swabs into your ears to remove earwax or prevent its buildup, think again. Earwax is produced within the ear canal and naturally migrates from deeper inside to outside. There are exceptions, of course. Some people make more than the average amount of earwax, and for others it becomes harder and drier than usual. Even in these situations, inserting a swab inside the ear is not the answer. More on this in a moment.
2. It may be harmful
Inserting a cotton tipped swab into the ear can damage the ear canal or eardrum, or push earwax farther into the canal, making it harder to remove. This may cause a feeling of pressure in the ear and diminished hearing. Even worse, clumps of earwax pushed down near the eardrum can lead to painful ear infections.
3. Earwax is not a sign of poor hygiene

What To Do If You Think Your Ear Is Blocked
Never try to remove a build-up of earwax yourself with your fingers, a cotton bud or any other object. This can damage your ear and push the wax further down.
If the earwax is only causing minor problems, you can try buying some eardrops from a pharmacy. Using drops may make your hearing or symptoms a little worse at first before getting better. These can help soften the earwax so that it falls out naturally.
There are several different types of eardrops you can use, including drops containing sodium bicarbonate, olive oil or almond oil.
However, eardrops aren’t suitable for everyone and some can irritate the skin. For example, eardrops shouldn’t be used if you have a perforated eardrum .
Speak to your pharmacist about the most suitable product for you and make sure you read the leaflet that comes with it.
How Is Wax Build
Many people try to clean out earwax blockage with cotton wool buds. This is not recommended as the wax is often pushed deeper inside and you risk injuring your ear canal. Also avoid ear candles as they have no proven benefit in the removal of earwax and can cause serious injury.
Instead, use one of following treatment options:

How Do You Get Wax Out Of Your Ear
If you are suffering from an ear full of wax, you should never be tempted by a cotton bud or anything else that may push wax further down the canal. This includes your finger. Instead, you should try earwax softening drops which can be bought at a chemist). Or, if your earwax is particularly stubborn, professional help may be necessary. In this case, professional earwax removal using gentle micro suction is recommended.
So Stop Cleaning Your Ears Today
All you really need to do is take your daily shower, wash your hair and then dab those lovely ears out with a towel. This is the safe, effective ear wax removal technique your grandmother and your hearing care professional can agree on. It gently removes just the excess ear wax that has already deposited dirt outside of your ear canal.
But listen, if not cleaning your ears makes you feel weird, or if you have any other concerns about ear wax impaction, ear injury or hearing loss, please schedule an appointment with your hearing care professional for an ear checkup today.

How To Remove Heavy Earwax Buildup
If there is a slight buildup of earwax, many times, at-home treatments are successful. You can put a couple drops of baby oil or commercial ear drops into the ear, which should soften the wax and facilitate removal.
The day after using the drops, use a rubber-bulb syringe to squirt warm water into your ear. Tilt your head and pull your outer ear up and back, says the Mayo Clinic. This helps to straighten out your ear canal and help the earwax move out.
When youre done, tilt your head to the side again, and let the water drain out. This might have to be repeated for a few days, depending on the level of buildup. If you dont feel a reduction of your symptoms, call your doctor.
The only time earwax needs to be specifically removed is when there is a buildup severe enough to cause symptoms like:

Popping Clicking Or Crackling Sound In Ear: What Does It Mean
Having a popping, clicking, or crackling sound in your ear can be annoying but it is mostly nothing to worry about. The popping sound in your ear happens when you swallow, yawn, or blow your nose. You might find that when taking off or descending in an aircraft your ears pop more than usual due to changes in the altitude.
The reason for the clicking sound is to do with air passing through the Eustachian tubes in your middle ear to the back of your nose. This is completely normal and the clicking or popping sounds in your ears are nothing to worry about. However, sometimes, blocked sinuses, a buildup of earwax, or ear infections can cause more frequent ear popping that some describe as having the crackling sound of Rice Krispies in their ear. This can cause you to have a feeling of fullness in your ear along with excessive popping or clicking noises. In addition you may also have a sensation that there is water in your ear.
If you have frequent crackling or whistling sounds in your ear and your ears feel clogged or full, getting rid of earwax or treating an ear infection should help to reduce the ear crackling when swallowing. Ear infections can be serious, and if you have redness, tenderness, and very sore ears along with crackling noises, you should see a doctor.
Whether You Have Wet Or Dry Earwax Is Genetically Determined
But in 2000, a study conducted at La Laguna University in the Canary Islands found the opposite. Instead, researchers found a neutral effect when it came to one strain of Staph, and in most cases, they found that earwax actually promoted the growth of bacteria, including E. coli, ostensibly due to the rich nutrient bounty it provides. Its not the only study to cast doubt on earwaxs propensity for microbial murder.
Theres one thing that might shed light on the wildly differing conclusions that these and other studies have put forth. The 1980 and 2011 studies used wax from people with dry earwax, while the 2000 study focused on the wet form. Its by no means clear that this distinction underlies earwaxs putative antimicrobial properties, but its a beguiling hypothesis, especially since the two types are essentially made from the same ingredients. Still, unless youve surreptitiously taken a peek into your friends ear canals, then you might be surprised, as I was, to learn that there are two different kinds. In the name of full disclosure, mine is wet.
Syringing with liquid can remove excess wax without risking damaging the eardrum
Whether you have wet or dry earwax is genetically determined, and it all comes down to a single letter on a single gene. The gene is called ABCC11, and if youve got an A instead of a G, then your earwax will be dry. Its a rare example of Mendelian inheritance, with the wet type being completely dominant.

What Are The Symptoms Of Impacted Ear Wax
About 1 in 10 children, 1 in 20 adults and over 30% of the geriatric and developmentally delayed populations suffer from impacted earwax*. More commonly, however, elderly people tend to suffer from excessive ear wax in ear. This is often due to hearing aids and the self cleaning mechanism of the ear not working as well as it once did.
Symptoms can include pain, itching, tinnitus, odour, discharge from ear, hearing loss and dizziness.

Lifestyle Habits That Create Excess Earwax
Earwax is essential to keeping your ears clean and healthy, but it can also interfere with healthy hearing. When it builds up, it can cause hearing loss, physical discomfort, tinnitus, ear infections and other problems. Even though you cant always control how much earwax you produce , you can take charge of other daily habits that are contributing to the problem. Here are three habits that encourage excess earwax.
How To Remove Crusty Ears Wax
Step 1Soak a cotton ball with an over-the-counter ear drop solution. Or use baby oil, hydrogen peroxide, saline solution or mineral oil. Use water-based products to break up earwax and oil-based ones to soften the wax so it slides out easily.Step 2You have to do this while you tilt your head to one side so the opening of your ear faces up, then hold the cotton ball over your ear canal. Do not push the cotton ball into the canal. Hold your head in this position for about a minute. This allows the liquid to drip into your ear canal and loosen or break apart the wax.Step 3Tilt your head to the other side to allow the wax to drain out. Use a cloth or tissue to collect the liquid and wax as it comes out.Step 4If your ears still feel clogged, fill a bulb syringe with water and squirt some water into the ear canal to help remove any remaining wax.Step 5Repeat this process for the other ear, if necessary.You have to be always careful while dealing with your ears to avoid causing problems to your eardrum. Also care must be taken as some of the crusty wax may go deep into the ear instead of coming out. A good way of doing it is buying a quality earwax removal tool/kit to help with the process.

A dwelling-room serves as the main room of the home; it serves as a multi-function room, which can be utilized for entertaining friends, to relax or retire at evening and read a ebook, to look at a movie or TELEVISION, take heed to music and much more. In the long run, think about your needs when considering different front room concepts; in any case, a family with babies will likely want a playroom greater than a proper sitting room. Establishing a booze station on your bar cart is a no brainer — however using it as an end desk (especially when area is restricted) to display blooms, art and occasional desk books is just genius.

Happy Spring! A season of new growth, planting, and preparing for abundance awaits us. It is a good time to remember the work of those who planted seeds and tilled the soil in the field of behavioral health. So, to kick off the month, TPN.Health is recognizing a few April-born historical figures who have cultivated the field of behavioral health through their significant contributions in research, teaching, and activism.
Abraham Maslow, PhD: April 1st, 1908 – June 8th, 1970
Arguably Maslow’s most well-known contribution to the field of behavioral health was his “Hierarchy of Needs,” which sprang from observations in his early work with monkeys. Rooted in human motivational studies, Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs is arranged in five levels with basic needs at the bottom, psychological needs in the middle, and self fulfillment needs at the top.
Having originally pursued philosophy and behaviorism (a prominent force in psychology at the time), he did not begin his work studying human motivation until the humbling experience raising a family during the collective upheaval of World War II prompted him to do so. Deviating greatly from the thought leaders of his time, who framed the human being in machine-like terms of reductionism, Maslow’s work in humanism, encompassing self-actualization and human motivation, served to integrate “personhood” into the field. His research laid the groundwork for developments in the field of personality psychology, which ultimately grew to shape the orientation of the behavioral health field as we know it today.
Dorthea Dix, Mental Health Reformer: April 4th, 1802 – July 17, 1887
A teacher by trade, Dix’s journey in social reform began while teaching Sunday school at a women’s prison in Massachusetts. Immediately, she noticed the horrific conditions and particularly cruel treatment of those with mental health issues. Subsequently devoting her life to the reform of prisons, poorhouses, and mental institutions for better treatment of their inhabitants, Dix went on to lobby at the national and international levels. In the U.S. her efforts resulted in a federal grant for public land to be used in service of those with mental illness, a grant which President Franklin Pierce unfortunately vetoed several years after issuance. In Europe, Dix’s report to Pope Pius IX on the incongruity of public and private health facilities brought on the construction of a hospital, which was to benefit those with mental health issues.
Mamie Phipps Clark, PhD: April 18, 1917 – August 11, 1983
Clark was an active researcher, practitioner, and force in social activism in her time. Even up against the walls of sexism and racism in mid-twentieth-century America, Clark pioneered studies of the effects of internalized racism in black children in her master’s thesis and was the first African American woman to obtain her PhD in psychology from Columbia University. Her thesis contributed to structures underlying the field of developmental psychology and was instrumental in the creation of the first mass-produced doll with African-American representation.
In her time working at a private home for the refuge of young black females in New York, she noticed a serious deficit in mental health services for black children as well as rampant mis-diagnoses of the individuals in the facility. Upon the refusal of governing bodies to provide adequate services after Clark and her husband, Kenneth Clark, presented this issue, the Clarks elected to open what is now called the Northside Center for Child Development, which was the first institution to offer full-time psychological and social services to families in Harlem. Likewise, serving on a number of committees and advisory boards throughout her life, Clark maintained active involvement in her community and testified as an expert witness in the 1954 Brown vs. Board of Education case as well as other school desegregation cases.
Three claps for these trailblazers in behavioral health history! Today, you can create a TPN.Health clinical profile to begin reaping the benefits of a trackable referral network and a trusted clinical community–all at your fingertips.

Airstrikes kill 21, including 3 children, in Syria’s Idlib
The Observatory says it determines whose planes carried out raids according to their type, location, flight patterns and the munitions involved
Airstrikes on a village in the Syrian province of Idlib killed at least 21 civilians on Sunday, among them three children, a monitor said.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which earlier reported an initial toll of 14, said dozens more had been injured in the strikes on the village of Kafr Nabal.
It said the strikes appeared to have been carried out by a Russian warplane.
The Observatory says it determines whose planes carried out raids according to their type, location, flight patterns and the munitions involved.
Hossam Hosber, who witnessed the attack, told AFP “six strikes hit houses and a crowded local market.”
Russia began a military intervention in support of President Bashar Assad in September 2015, saying it was carrying out strikes against “terrorists.”
It denies that its strikes have caused civilians casualties.
Earlier on Sunday, the UN envoy to Syria, Staffan de Mistura, has said that Eastern Aleppo may fall into the hands of Syrian government forces by the end of the year, while expressing his wish to avoid “a terrible battle” during a conference in Rome.
In November, Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said Russian forces had begun a “major operation” targeting Idlib and Homs provinces.
The northern Idlib province is mostly controlled by a powerful rebel alliance known as the Army of Conquest, which groups militant factions with extremists of the Fateh al-Sham Front, al-Qaeda’s Syrian affiliate, which was formerly known as Jabhat al-Nusrah.
Most of Homs province is controlled by the Syrian government, but small parts of the countryside in the region are controlled by a range of rebel groups.
Kafr Nabal gained fame in the early years of Syria’s conflict for the creative, topical and sometimes humorous placards and banners carried by protesters at weekly demonstrations against the government.
More than 300,000 people have been killed in Syria since the conflict began in March 2011 with anti-government protests before spiraling into a complex, multi-front war.

Tafelmusik in the Weekend West
Spheres of Influence
William Yeoman, Weekend West
28 January 2012
Listening to music of the past is like seeing the light of a star long dead. There’s that same sense of presence and absence you get looking at a photograph. So to combine Baroque music and projected images of the night sky with readings from the works of astronomers past in one magical concert is to experience joy tempered by wistfulness.
One of the world’s leading period instrument orchestras, the Canadian-based Tafelmusik, was formed in 1979 and is Baroque orchestra in residence at the University of Toronto. It regularly tours the world giving concerts and workshops, and its discography runs to more than 75 recordings.
Alison Mackay has played double-bass and violone with Tafelmusik since its inception. Her interest in education and multidisciplinary concert programming has resulted in such diverse projects as the children’s tale Baroque Adventure: the Quest for Arundo Donax, the multicultural creation The Four Seasons, a Cycle of the Sun, and a celebration of architecture and the arts Sacred Spaces, Sacred Circles.
In 2007, Tafelmusik was approached by music lover John Percy, professor of astronomy at the University of Toronto, with an unusual idea for a concert. Why not celebrate in music the 400th anniversary in 2009 also the International Year of Astronomy of Galileo’s first public demonstration of the astronomical telescope?
Mackay picked up the globe and ran with it. The result was The Galileo Project: Music of the Spheres, which featured the music of Monteverdi, Vivaldi, Bach, Handel, Telemann and others, played from memory against a backdrop of high-definition images from the Hubble telescope, Canadian astronomers and astrophotographer Alan Dyer. Actor Shaun Smyth was also brought on board to recite the words of Galileo, Newton and Kepler.
Now Tafelmusik is bringing The Galileo Project to Australia for Musica Viva. To celebrate, they’ve included an Australian component.
“I wanted to include a component on Aboriginal astronomy,” says Mackay on the line from Toronto. “So I got in touch with Australian astrophysicist Ray Norris, who is an expert on the subject and who was extremely helpful. And Alan (Dyer) works quite often in Australia, so we have some wonderful images of the Australian night sky.”
However the basic structure of the original program remains, with the music orbiting around the twin suns of the Galileo anniversary and the some of the music performed as part of a month-long Festival of the Planets which took place in Dresden in 1719. The festival featured operas, balls and concerts in honour of each planet in the solar system, and Handel was one of the composers asked to contribute. So we have music from the time of Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) and from the time of Sir Isaac Newton (1642-1727).
In Galileo’s time the relationship between the arts and the sciences was much closer than today’s; indeed, not only was Galileo’s father Vincenzo a famous lutenist and composer; both men experimented with mathematical formulas in relation to lute strings, while Galileo and his brother Michelangelo were gifted lutenists. A solo lute piece by Michelangelo is featured in The Galileo Project.
Some commentators such as physics and mathematics professor Mark Peterson, author of Galileo’s Muse (Harvard University Press) have even gone so far as to claim that “it was the mathematics of Renaissance arts, not Renaissance sciences, that became modern science”.
Astrology and astronomy were also virtually synonymous. And there was the concept of The Music of the Spheres, which Mackay says is another theme running through The Galileo Project. “Our program begins and ends with reflections on the ancient concept of the Music of the Spheres, thought to have been created by a heavenly ensemble of planets and stars making music together as they move through space.”
Mackay says the The Galileo Project has been an enormous hit, not only with concertgoers and school groups but with astronomers. “A lot of them come to the concert and are very moved to see the fruits of their labours heightened by music.”

Charles’ week links for the 4th to the 10th of August, 2013.
Thursday, May 17, 2012
Discovered yesterday, 7 hours too late to contribute, this is nonetheless the Kickstarter project that was made for me*. Animation with substance. The crowd funds it, the crowd…


Tuesday 19th May 2020, NCBI (National Council for the Blind of Ireland) is highlighting how practicing social distancing can be very challenging for the 54,810 people who are blind or visually impaired and is urging the general public to support them in this practice.
Kevin Kelly, NCBI Head of Advocacy said “practicing or engaging in physical or social distancing is virtually impossible for people who are blind or vision-impaired and as our streets and shops become busier with the easing of government restrictions it is a huge source of stress and frustration for people. It is essential the public have a greater understanding of the challenges faced and how they can help overcome them.”
Challenges facing those who are blind and vision-impaired:
- Being unable to judge distances, thus making self-distancing impossible.
- Being unable to see temporary markings to illustrate distance.
- Often being unaware of the existence of a queuing system, or where a queue begins or ends.
- Being unable to locate or read signage outlining the hygiene practices to be followed.
- Guide dogs are not trained to socially distance.
Mr Kelly added “As social distancing is here to stay, it is frustrating that to date, public health officials have failed to recognize the profound impact of social distancing on people who are blind and vision-impaired. It is now vital the general public step up and provide assistance and support to ensure that people who are blind and vision-impaired can actively engage in society in the weeks and months ahead. To aid the public, NCBI would strongly encourage people who are blind and vision-impaired to always carry a long cane or a symbol cane when in public places to allow easy identification of a vision impairment.”
How the public can help:
- People should always afford a blind or vision-impaired person the required two meters’ distance in all circumstances.
- People should make their presence known before offering assistance, which many blind and vision-impaired people will welcome.
- People can offer verbal instructions which may be very helpful to the blind or vision-impaired person in certain circumstances – the key here is to always ask first.
- People should never just grab someone who is blind or vision-impaired in the belief that they are being helpful.
- When queuing outside shops, people should be careful not to block the path of someone who is blind or vision-impaired.
Marian Maloney, NCBI service user and advocate, said “COVID-19 and its associated restrictions have been really tough for everyone, but as the majority of people are beginning to feel a sense of relief due to the lessening of restrictions, I’m afraid of what is to come, as social distancing is so very daunting and overwhelming. I want to get back to as close to normal as possible, but I will only be able to do that if the general public respect my space and provide assistance in a respectful way.”

Financial market supervisors want to protest retail investors against potential fraudulent online funding schemes that have proliferated in recent years. A particular target is products that are endorsed by celebrities. Spain’s National Securities Market Commission, along with its European counterparts, is waging war on questionable practices, and in the United States, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) recently fined Kim Kardashian for peddling crypto -change.
The International Exchange of Securities Commissions (Iosco), which brings together 130 national supervisory bodies, has issued a warning about the online marketing of financial products and the role of “finfluencers”, or digital influencers. A notorious example is the ad for the Crypto.com platform, featuring Matt Damon, that aired during the 2022 SuperBowl. urged them to take action on the matter to protect small investors.
The international organization believes that digitalization and social media are changing the way financial services and products are marketed to retail investors. And he believes that, particularly due to the Covid-19 pandemic, these factors have enabled investment services firms to reach a greater number of clients, who in turn have access to more investment services. .
The rise of social media and digital marketing has also transformed influencers into financial advisors. Iosco warns that influencer marketing is on the rise. The organization’s recent report sounded the alarm by pointing out that in some cases, watchdogs have jurisdiction over investment firms but not influencers.
The Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM) concluded last December that finfluencers run the risk of carrying out advisory tasks without having a license to do so. They also sometimes promote investment firms that trade high-risk products such as contracts for difference (CFDs), forex, or cryptocurrencies.
In Kardashian’s case, the influencer and businesswoman reached a $1.26 million settlement with the SEC. She was not fined for promoting a crypto asset, but rather for failing to notify that it was an advertising deal. Similarly, boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. and music producer DJ Khaled were forced to pay $767,500 in 2018 for promoting an initial coin offering (ICO).
In its report, Iosco proposed that regulators consider requiring investment firms to have rules for online sales, including elements involving gamification, to avoid harming financial consumers. ESMA, the watchdog of European markets, is already working on a similar project. In May, he pointed out that “gamification techniques in trading apps and personal recommendations on social media can cause retail investors to engage in trading behavior without understanding the risks involved.”
In addition, the report suggests that regulators consider requiring investment firms to impose specific online marketing requirements. And he suggested mystery shoppers could be used to monitor how products are sold. The international organization recommended an initiative that was adopted years ago by Italy’s market supervisor, Consob, which has the power to shut down or block web pages and suspend the activity of financial systems.

Concentrating Solar Power and Water Issues in the U.S. Southwest
Concentrating solar power (CSP) systems utilize the sun's energy to create heat that is used to generate electrical power. CSP systems in the United States are installed primarily in the Southwest, with 92% of plants that are operational, under construction, or under development located in three western states--Arizona, California, and Nevada. This report provides an overview of CSP development in these states, or the 'Southwest' for the purposes of this discussion, with a particular focus on the water supply issues associated with CSP. The Western Governors' Association (WGA) commissioned staff from the Western States Water Council (WSWC) to collaborate with staff from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) to prepare this report. The WGA has long supported the effective management of the West's water resources, as well as the development of a clean, diverse, reliable, and affordable energy supply consisting of traditional and renewable energy resources. This report is specifically intended to help inform these goals, especially as WGA continues to underwrite a Regional Transmission Expansion Planning project, undertaken by the WSWC and the Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC), to better understand energy development within the existing and future water resource constraints of the West. This report builds upon earliermore »
