I had a pun about...

I had a pun about a banana, but it lost its a-peel.

I had a pun about moving air, but I can’t say I’m a big fan.

I had a pun about people in wheelchairs, but I can’t stand for that kind of humour.

I had a pun about a bad hairdresser, but it just didn’t make the cut.

I had a pun about a TV, but it wasn’t even remotely funny.

I had a pun about dressing formally, but I don’t think it was suit-able for tumblr.

I had a pun about a broken car, but I didn’t get anywhere with it.

I had a pun about bread, but nobody kneads that kind of joke in their life.

It’s Pi Day tomorrow! A very special Pi Day, because on March 14, 2015, at 53 seconds past 9:26 AM the date and time will spell out the first 9 decimal digits of the constant π. I’ll be celebrating by eating pie.

This GIF is a visual representation of C = 2r*π (the relationship between the circumference and the diameter).

*These smart folks have pretty much convinced me that Tau (τ=2π=6.2831…) is actually a better constant. And on Tau Day (June 28th), I get to eat TWO pies. But we have to wait until 2031 to get those extra decimal digits for τ.

Essay writing tip from my friend Theresa

I asked my friend Theresa (who is majoring in philosophy) for tips on writing a philosophy essay and wrote down what she gave me.

Although these are meant to be for philosophy essays I think they could be used for other essays in general as well. These are really basic tips, but are nevertheless helpful and essential!

1.1 billion people at risk of hearing loss

WHO highlights serious threat posed by exposure to recreational noise

Today is Ear Care Day

Make Listening Safe initiative

To mark International Ear Care Day, celebrated each year on March 3rd, WHO is launching the “Make Listening Safe” initiative to draw attention to the dangers of unsafe listening and promote safer practices. In collaboration with partners worldwide, WHO will alert young people and their families about the risks of noise-induced hearing loss and advocate towards governments for greater attention to this issue as part of their broader efforts to prevent hearing loss generally.

Worldwide, 360 million people today have moderate to profound hearing loss due to various causes, such as noise, genetic conditions, complications at birth, certain infectious diseases, chronic ear infections, the use of particular drugs, and ageing. It is estimated that half of all cases of hearing loss are avoidable. To address this issue, WHO collates data and information on hearing loss to demonstrate its prevalence, causes and impact as well as opportunities for prevention and management; assists countries to develop and implement programmes for hearing care that are integrated into the primary health-care system; and provides technical resources for training health workers.
