I do get annoyed with his ‘pretending’ he can’t play when he meets someone else already at the keyboard.
And then goes to show off how good a player he actually is.
That’s his schtick, I suppose, but it does get a bit tiresome after a while.

New ‘superbug’ could emerge after household items thrown down the toilet linked to antibiotic resistance

Dangerous bacteria could become resistant to antibiotics because of certain household items being flushed down the drain, a study warns.

Products like soap and toothpaste can contain the chemical triclosan, which fights off the bacteria we seek to protect ourselves from when brushing our teeth or washing our hands.

But because of the sheer quantity of these items being flushed away, bacteria that hangs out in sewage sludge risks becoming increasingly used to it.

Researchers in Ontario, Canada, found that triclosan has become the predominant antibiotic in the city’s sewage impacting E. coli, which is a bacterial infection that can cause severe stomach pain and even kidney failure.

It can be caught by eating contaminated food, drinking inadequately treated water, and from contact with infected animals or people.

The worry is that bacteria that is continuously exposed to antibiotics could become so resistant that it develops “superbug” status, potentially making them invulnerable to treatments we rely on.

Between 2014 and 2016, there were 700,000 deaths attributed to antibiotic resistance globally.

‘More action needs to be taken’

The lead author on the Ontario study, Holly Barrett from the University of Toronto, said even “very low levels” of triclosan could cause antibiotic resistance to form over time.

“Since there are so many different antibiotics in the sewage sludge, we were surprised to find that the majority of antibacterial activity of the sludge could be directly linked to triclosan alone,” she said.

Ms Barrett called for greater regulation of the use of the chemical in household and cosmetic products, following the lead of the US Food and Drug Administration.

In 2016 and 2017, the FDA banned triclosan from being used in antibacterial liquid soaps and topical antiseptics in health care settings.

“More action needs to be taken,” Ms Barrett warned.

Some companies have taken it upon themselves to stop using the chemical.

Most toothpaste brands, for example, have removed it from their ingredients in recent years.

However, there is no actual ban in the UK, and it can still be found in certain products, such as the hand sanitiser bottles many have become more familiar with since the COVID-19 pandemic.

Superbug uses covid-19 to start Sky-net.

Good morning Holidayers. Presently 3 degrees, overcast and showery. We are forecast a showery 12 degrees.

I don’t think I’ll be getting any gardening done today. Again. Plenty of other inside jobs to do though.

On another forum I made a comment; “So now you see how non facts become fake news.
Education is our only saviour. “

The answer I got was, “We’re doomed” along with this video.

We had a wintry night with a min of 1, but 14 expected today. Rain late this afternoon and evening.

A few dry days following so I’d better call Mr Tunks and see if he’ll be available.

This morning I might wander down to the bookshop and see if I can find anything for the twins, whose birthday is on the 12th.

Good morning everybody.

Clear, moderate gusty breezes and 17.2°C. Feels much colder. BoM forecasts no rain and a top of 25°C today.

Last night’s dinner was a slightly modified version of this:

https://misschinesefood.com/garden-potato-cake/

There’s enough mixture left for tonight’s dinner. Mrs V enjoyed it, so it’s gone into the folder of recipes she likes and will be made again. And, surprisingly it turned out just as yellow as the photos show. I suspect from the grated carrot in the patties.

Worked out just fine (with added garlic, chilli, a small can of corn kernels, complete with “juice” and real ham substituted for spam). I didn’t make lovely round patties, because I didn’t feel like getting my hands oily and or sticky. “Gnarly rustic” would be a reasonable description of my patties. Dolloped into the pan from a spoon and smoothed out a bit. After turning, I flattened and thinned them by pushing them down with the egg slide.

Already ordered new steel strings for my banjo, but now I’ve decided to use nylgut (nylon strings designed to sound like gut).

Banjos were gut-strung in the olden days and it’s a more pleasant sound IMO, and easier on the fingers :)

BACK and happy to be, it’s very humid out there.

Purchased these three books for the Ross sister (but there was nothing suitable for the Hobart brother, so I’ll have a peep in the antique shop in days ahead).

a) Folk Art of Asia, Africa, Australia, the Americas. Large format picture book by Helmuth Bossert.

b) Folio Society book of The Complete Nonsense of Edward Lear, with all his original illustrations.

c) Making Soft-bodied Dough Characters by Patricia Hughes, a cute book about making salt dough dolls.

The nudist ex-lover of the man accused of attacking Nancy Pelosi’s husband recently spoke out and revealed the suspect has been “mentally ill for a long time” and suffers from “paranoid delusions,” RadarOnline.com has learned.
Oxane “Gypsy” Taub, the 53-year-old former lover of 42-year-old David DePape, is currently in jail for attempting to kidnap a 14-year-old boy in 2021.
But during a phone call from prison on Monday with the San Francisco Bay Area affiliate outlet ABC 7, Taub revealed she witnessed DePape slowly succumb to his mental illness during their nearly two-decade relationship together.
“He came back in very bad shape. He thought he was Jesus. He was constantly paranoid, thinking people were after him,”

The Pharisees certainly were after him.

“Children as young as nine were prescribed puberty blockers at a Scottish gender identity clinic branded “Sturgeon’s Tavistock,” a report has revealed.
A report into Scotland’s national gender identity service by NHS clinicians found 79 children aged between nine and 18 were referred for puberty-suppressing drugs while being treated at the Sandyford Clinic in Glasgow.
The report also showed a “disproportionately” high number of children undergoing gender treatment who were referred to endocrinologists at the Royal Hospital for Children in Glasgow from 2011 to 2019 had autism.
Nearly 40 per cent of children referred suffered from mental health conditions, including anxiety and depression.
In the past 12 months, Sandyford clinic has seen more than 600 under-18s.
Psychiatrists and campaigners have demanded that the Scottish Government immediately close down the clinic over its readiness to medicate “clearly vulnerable and troubled” children with “experimental” and “dangerous” drugs.”

Went to get a drink and they wouldn’t let a suspected shoplifter out (not me)
Physically restrained him and shoved him back in the shop

Could be overstepping their rights to not let him out.

Vinegar has been shown to have glucose lowering effects when consumed prior to meals. However, research is limited. Using vinegar as substitute for ketchup and when mixed into salad dressing can help reduce excess sugar, fat and sodium intake. Therefore it is often used as a flavouring agent in foods.

Vinegar has antimicrobial properties, and certain types of vinegar, such as apple cider vinegar, have antioxidants, which can help ward off oxidative stress. Several animal studies have found that vinegar may reduce the risk of heart disease, cancers and help manage blood sugar and weight. However, there is not enough evidence from high-quality human studies such as clinical trials to confirm these health benefits.

Some types of vinegars are a source of antioxidants, which are compounds that can help to fight free radicals and protect against some chronic diseases. Generally, the darker the vinegar, the more antioxidants it contains. There are some studies that have demonstrated that small amounts of vinegar intake may help to lower your LDL (bad) cholesterol levels, triglyceride levels, blood sugar levels, and reduce appetite. However, there does not seem to be concrete evidence and this appears to be preliminary evidence only. Vinegar is acidic and the acid can damage your teeth. For this reason, habitually drinking vinegar may lead to poor oral health effects.

Vinegar is a very useful kind of season. However, it’s not only used for seasoning but widely with medical properties. Thinking about some health benefits, some studies are demonstrated that vinegar can reduce blood cholesterol, improve digestive function and reduce blood sugar. This season has been deeply studied in the last decade and year after year, scientists are discovering more functions of vinegar.

I had always wondered about your knowledge of vinegar.

It has antimicrobial property, it is a good option for food hygiene and conservation. Vinegar can help regulate blood glucose by being a source of acetic acid, responsible for inhibiting the action of enzymes that are part of the sugar digestion process, thus reducing postprandial glucose concentration and insulin response, in addition to increase satiety.

I mixed white wine vinegar into my sandwich filling this evening (didn’t have a hot dinner since I had sausage rolls for lunch).

It was cottage cheese, finely chopped garlic, flat leaf parsley, a little olive oil, white wine vinegar, freshly ground salt & pepper.

Spread on multigrain bread, cut into quarters.

Big Brutus is the world’s largest electric shovel. It stands 16 stories high and weighs 11 million pounds — that’s 5,500 tons. He’s painted bright orange and once had the job of scooping rock and dirt off the coal seam in a strip mine. Each of its bucket loads could fill three railroad cars.
It took 52 men about 11 months to assemble it in 1962, cost – $6.5 million. Big Brutus worked 24 hours a day for 11 years. When the Pittsburg & Midway coal mine shut down in 1974, Big Brutus was turned into a museum.

Groundwater depletion causes California farmland to sink. Stanford study shows water levels must rise to halt subsidence.

A Stanford University study simulates 65 years of land subsidence, or sinking, caused by groundwater depletion in California’s San Joaquin Valley. The results suggest significant sinking may continue for centuries after water levels stop declining but could slow within a few years if aquifers recover.

By Josie Garthwaite

The floor of California’s arid Central Valley is sinking as groundwater pumping for agriculture and drinking water depletes aquifers. A new remote sensing study from Stanford University shows land sinking – or subsidence – will likely continue for decades to centuries if underground water levels merely stop declining. To stop the sinking, water levels will need to rise.

“If you don’t get these water levels to come back up, then the land is going to sink, potentially tens of centimeters per year, for decades. But if they go up, you can get rewarded very quickly. You almost immediately improve the situation,” said Matthew Lees, a geophysics PhD student and lead author of the study, which appears June 2 in Water Resources Research.

The research comes amid worsening drought in a state where climate change is tipping the odds toward hot conditions with more precipitation extremes. The first four months of 2022 marked California’s driest start to a year since 1895. Reservoir levels are so low that, for a second year in a row, many irrigation districts are poised to receive none of their usual allocations of water from the Central Valley Project, the federally managed network of reservoirs and canals that conveys water to some 3 million acres of farmland.

Groundwater depletion causes California farmland to sink. Stanford study shows water levels must rise to halt subsidence.

A Stanford University study simulates 65 years of land subsidence, or sinking, caused by groundwater depletion in California’s San Joaquin Valley. The results suggest significant sinking may continue for centuries after water levels stop declining but could slow within a few years if aquifers recover.

By Josie Garthwaite

The floor of California’s arid Central Valley is sinking as groundwater pumping for agriculture and drinking water depletes aquifers. A new remote sensing study from Stanford University shows land sinking – or subsidence – will likely continue for decades to centuries if underground water levels merely stop declining. To stop the sinking, water levels will need to rise.

“If you don’t get these water levels to come back up, then the land is going to sink, potentially tens of centimeters per year, for decades. But if they go up, you can get rewarded very quickly. You almost immediately improve the situation,” said Matthew Lees, a geophysics PhD student and lead author of the study, which appears June 2 in Water Resources Research.

The research comes amid worsening drought in a state where climate change is tipping the odds toward hot conditions with more precipitation extremes. The first four months of 2022 marked California’s driest start to a year since 1895. Reservoir levels are so low that, for a second year in a row, many irrigation districts are poised to receive none of their usual allocations of water from the Central Valley Project, the federally managed network of reservoirs and canals that conveys water to some 3 million acres of farmland.

What they need to do is to get Californians to stop throwing water away.

something like 75% of water consumed domestically in the US is used for watering lawns.

Poona Lake is a perched freshwater lake that I love to visit. It’s a 2.4 km walk each way, through fragile Araucaria and strangler fig rainforest, and Kauri forest and several other ecosystems. Native Hoya vines thrive just uphill from the lake. The lake is a beautiful, almost unsullied spot to go for a refreshing, cool swim. The ecosystem immediately surrounding the lake is dominated by sundews in some places.

I don’t love the visitor’s building atop Mt Wellington. It is a brutalist bit of concrete and stands out on the skyline. It also smells of urine on occasion. I’d be happy to revisit the footprint of that building and bring it into line with what is needed these days. Without the cable car or the whiskey bar or the paraflight launch pad.

Me too. I’ve got an infection in my right ear, and it seems to be making me feel really crap.

Yep I’ve had an ear infection that was very persistent, had several rounds of antibiotic drops before it killed the infection but it’s still not right.

I was wondering before what the origin of eustachian is, thinking it might be from some Greek roots meaning “true standing” or something.

But it was just named after some dude called Bartolomeo Eustachi

No doubt a blow for quavos and offset. Report says he was not the intended target of the shooting. I think they just put Death by Texas on the d.c.

With California’s Yosemite Valley far below, Alex Honnold free solos—which means climbing without ropes or safety gear—the 3,000-foot southwest face of El Capitan. Before he accomplished the feat on June 3, 2017, Honnold had spent nearly a decade thinking about the climb and more than a year and a half planning and training for it.

The cost of negative gearing is set to more than triple as interest rates rise and, with it, the capital gains tax discount is expected to cost the federal budget more than $20 billion a year within a decade.

I’d assume descent is far more dangerous than ascent, can’t really get a good look at the spots you are holding onto before you do it.

Well I’ll not be wanting to do another grandfather clock like the one I set up today again. Traditionally, these clocks allow one to slide the whole movement in and out and have windows in the sides and back for adjustments.
The one today could only go in and out fully assembled but needing to remove the full set of gongs each time through a smaller door in the back so the clock complete with dial could go in and out. A pharking nightmare for a bloke with two buggered shoulders.

Once you slipped, there would seem bugger all to grab onto on the way down.

From a paper I just started to read. (and stopped bothering)

>>The mean SER change over 6 months was 0.06±0.30 D in the RLRL group and -0.11±0.33 D in the sham device control group (P=0.003), with respective mean increases in AL of 0.02±0.11 mm and 0.13±0.10 mm (P<0.001)<<

They are pretty wide plus or minuses on those numbers.

After what seemed decades at my age back then, I filled pillows with pus. Dr’s prescribed antibiotics but they were too late in whatever they tried. The damage was from trapped sewage waste water that had spread infection into my inner ear. My outer ear has no damage but it has a short circuit to the brain.

Nicholas Harding has died

The cancer they thought they’d beaten returned to take him the other day at the age of 66. We lost a good man and beautiful painter whose work is loved.

He could paint a stretch of bush or an umbrella in the sand and make you think you were seeing them for the first time. He did beauty with absolute bravado. One of his flame trees in full bloom is a dazzling sight. But then he painted a patch of railway tracks that takes your breath away.
