Sydney marathon runner Tom Denniss becomes fastest man to circle globe on foot Updated 17 minutes ago Gallery: Tom Denniss runs round the world Map: Sydney 2000 Australian Tom Denniss has become the fastest person to circumnavigate the world on foot after an epic marathon that saw him chalk up 26,000 kilometres in 20 months. Denniss began his journey on December 31, 2011, and went through 17 pairs of shoes while running the equivalent of a marathon a day for 622 days. The quest took him to five of world's seven continents, and this afternoon it wrapped up at the same place it began: the Sydney Opera House. The ultra-marathon runner from Sydney also raised more than $44,000 for the charity Oxfam Australia during the journey. "I never really thought about giving up," he told the ABC this morning with 10 kilometres left to run.

"It's not the thing that most people are ever going to undertake, but if you do, I think you'll find the body will adapt very well." Denniss says he will look at the world in a different way now that he has circled the globe on foot. "A lot of people thought I would take note of how large the world is, but feels smaller now. The world doesn't seem to be as big now that I've run around it," he said. "The highlights have been along the lines of the geographical aspects - the Grand Canyon, running along the rim, running through Monument Valley ... over the Andes. "The real highlight was running across the Nullarbor with [my wife] Carmel and some other friends." Asked what his plans are for the future, he said: "I'm just going to relax and see what I feel like doing. As far as athletic challenges go, I'm just going to let that one come naturally."

Study finds codeine might increase pain sensitivity PMBy Caroline Winter Updated 40 minutes ago Photo: Codeine might boost effects of pain, study finds (AAP: Melanie Foster) Map: SA A study has found using codeine might cause a heightened sensitivity to pain, rather than relief. An Adelaide University study has compared the impact and effects of codeine and morphine on patients. The researchers say their findings raise worries that codeine use could be a problem for chronic pain sufferers who need long-term medication. For nine years, Liz Dawson, 53, has struggled with severe migraines and headaches. Like many, she buys over-the-counter tablets containing codeine to ease the pain. "In the beginning it helped dramatically, it knocked it on the head. I never went on anything more heavy, so the Panafen had got me through the worst of that pain," she said. "But I found that as the years went on the more often I took it, the worse the headaches seemed to get." In between the migraines she experienced three to four times a month, Ms Dawson said headaches began to appear. "It was almost constant. It was a rare day when I didn't actually have some kind of headache," she said. Ms Dawson thought her use of codeine might be doing more harm than good. That was consistent with the finding of the South Australian study which compared the pain-relieving and pain-worsening effects of codeine and morphine. Jacinta Johnson is a pharmacist and PhD student at Adelaide University. "We found that after receiving codeine on a regular basis there was actually increased sensitivity to pain compared to before the drug was used at all so, even though the codeine provides less pain relief than the morphine did, we found that both the codeine and the morphine produced the same increase in sensitivity," she said. Temperature, touching and brushing caused pain It's difficult to work out exactly how long is too long to be taking it, but it seems to be more of a problem if you're taking it for sort of months at a time and taking it very regularly within that time Researcher Jacinta Johnson The researchers found patients using codeine long-term were more sensitive to things that were normally painful, such as higher temperatures, but also to things that should not cause pain at all, like soft touching of the skin or brushing of hair. For migraine sufferers like Liz Dawson, there were more headaches, more often. Jacinta Johnson said it was still not clear what the safety limits were on how often codeine should be taken. "It's difficult to work out exactly how long is too long to be taking it, but it seems to be more of a problem if you're taking it for sort of months at a time and taking it very regularly within that time, so day-in day-out rather than if you just take it occasionally," she said. She said the main concern was that such painkillers could be bought without a prescription. "One in five Australians will suffer from chronic pain at some point in their life and, of those patients, about one in three of them will use these stronger painkillers like codeine and morphine," she said. Dr Deon Schoombie is from the Australian Self Medication Industry, which represents manufacturers of over-the-counter medicines. "It's very clear on the pack, the instructions, that it is only for short-term use. The pack sizes have been restricted to five days' [supply] and there's a clear warning saying if you need it for longer it should only be under supervision of medical practitioners," he said. Jacinta Johnson said there were currently few effective alternatives to codeine in over-the-counter pain medication. She urged people see a GP to help manage long-term pain.

I saw it on imgur first!

My babies are massive now.... ill have to take pics when I get home.

I thought most freshly picked seed was ready to plant. Keep ones you are saving in a small paper bag in a cool dark place.

I think id call it more of a plant tonic or something like that as it doesn't really feed the plant but stops shock helps root development and conditions the soil. Well that's how I see it.

Phytophthora spp. Are mostly pathogens of dicotyledins, and are relatively host-specific parasites.

Isnt seasol for soil and root development? I wouldn't use it as a fertilizer.

I actually have some sunflower seeds dunno if they are giant though. Guess I'll have to plant them and find out. ..

I thought I was getting good at cactus id... lol guess not

i saw this cool doco on ants. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8n0SkIGARuo It got the thinking how amazing they are and how similar they are to us. whats really crazy is that a whole colony comes from one ant, the queen, which is cool cause it really make the whole colony like one life form in itself. - what does everyone else think about ants?
