Ear pain can be some of the most intolerable pain there is. This could be why so many people go directly to their medical doctor at the first sign of an ear infection, seeking antibiotics. It’s true that we have an unhealthy dependence on antibiotics and in the case of ear infections, that dependence is wholly unwarranted. The good news is that herbal remedies may be able to replace antibiotics in many cases – at least that’s what some research says.

plastic bags banned 263x164 Ban: Hawaii First State to Ban Plastic Shopping Bags

Even with reusable shopping bags, most individuals inevitably end up with some of the annoying thin plastic ones around, perhaps shoved under the kitchen sink. Well in Hawaii, people will be dealing with a lot fewer of these plastic sacks as that state recently became the first to ban the bag at checkout and restaurants.

Honolulu County became the last of the state’s counties to ban the bags, completing the state’s ban as a whole, according to NBC News. Retailers have three years to get rid of their supply and come up with alternatives. The success of the bans is attributed to citizen action and conscientious Hawaiians. After all, it didn’t come from the legislature, but from all four county councils.

In an earlier Natural Society article I covered aluminum toxicity antidotes that are necessary in our toxic environment. It’s often argued that aluminum is ubiquitous within the earth’s composition, but it has been pointed out by UK scientist Chris Exley, Ph.D that there is little threat as long as aluminum remains there. But it is obvious that aluminum exposure has become an issue; luckily there are some solutions for handling this kind of exposure.

It's the last thing Midwesterners wanted to hear – another strong blast of Arctic air will bring brutal temperatures to a region slammed by endless cold weather over the last couple of months. "We had two (employees) call in because they couldn't come to work because of the school closings and another called in sick," said Kristelle Brister, the manager of a downtown Chicago Starbucks who had to bring her 9-year-old son into the store because his school was closed. "It's hard." Frigid temperatures are expected to hold into Tuesday. If Chicago makes it to 60 hours below zero, it will be the longest stretch since 1983 — when it was below zero for 98 hours — and the third longest in 80 years.

Not even a fortnight after enduring one of the most intense heatwaves on record, South Australia, southern New South Wales and Victoria are set to toast in another wave of extreme heat. It will get very hot very quickly from early next week, with much of the region seeing mid-to-high 30 degree heat on Monday. By Tuesday, large parts of SA, VIC and southern NSW will see the mercury reaching into the 40s, including Adelaide and possibly even parts of Melbourne.

 

A day or two of relief is then likely, at least for coastal locations, as a gusty southerly change sweeps through. Melbourne is set to see just 24 degrees on Wednesday, while Adelaide can look forward to a slightly cooler 33 degrees.

At such times, it's important to highlight when a community can come together to help. Dave Wilkinson has worked coordinating the Community Rebuild program, led by the Salvation Army and other church groups and focused on getting repairs done. He says the task is big not just here in Bundaberg but right throughout the Burnett catchment. The first job has been identifying people who need assistance most - those who are uninsured and don't have the capability to get back into their homes. So far, 40 of the 60 people on the list have been rebuilt under the program, which recruits volunteers from all over Australia.

Engineers began checking on Monday buildings on the island of Kefalonia (Cephalonia), which was rocked by a 5.9-Richter earthquake on Sunday afternoon. Experts from ministries, regional authorities and public organizations travelled to the Ionian island to inspect the damage done by the quake and the numerous aftershocks that followed.

 

The earthquake caused residents to run out of their homes, with many preferring not to return overnight. Employees at the island’s airport also refused to return to the building to complete check-in for a flight to Athens. Passengers’ documents were eventually checked outdoors.

One of the closest supernovas to Earth has been spotted in nearby galaxy Messier 82 (the Cigar Galaxy) by students and staff at UCL's teaching observatory, the University of London Observatory. The exploding star is located in nearby galaxy Messier 82 (the Cigar Galaxy), about 12 million light years away.

 

The discovery was a fluke - a 10 minute telescope workshop for undergraduate students that led to a global scramble to acquire confirming images and spectra of a supernova in one of the most unusual and interesting of our near-neighbor galaxies.
