19 Galaxies Are Apparently Missing Dark Matter. No One Knows Why.

Nineteen newly discovered dwarf galaxies seem to be missing their dark matter, and physicists aren't sure why.
The find dramatically increases the number of galaxies that appear to be missing dark matter, the mysterious, invisible stuff that exerts gravitational pull, yet emits no light. Dark matter is thought to be a key ingredient in galaxy formation, with its gravity pulling together atoms of gas to form galaxies. We can tell dark matter is present in a galaxy because it makes the matter in that galaxy swirl faster than it would if the matter we see made up the galaxy's whole mass. This faster swirling has shown up in every galaxy that could be precisely measured. Recently, however, researchers have found that certain small galaxies, now including these 19, behave as if they're dominated by baryons — the particles that make up ordinary matter. The evidence for their unseen halos of dark matter is missing.
Kyle Oman, an astrophysicist at Durham University in the United Kingdom, who wasn't involved in this discovery, said that these galaxies comprise the longest list of apparently dark matter-free objects yet reported. But they aren't the first.
The most widely reported discovery of a galaxy that seemed to lack dark matter came in March 2018. A team of astrophysicists led by Pieter van Dokkum, an astrophysicist at Yale University, showed that the average speed of globular clusters in galaxy NGC 1052–DF2 matched a baryons-only galaxy model, though many questioned the validity of the result, as Live Science reported.
Even as that story played out, however, additional teams found galaxies that seemed to lack dark matter. Those researchers used a different method, which singles out the motion of hydrogen atoms in a distant galaxy — the galaxy's "H1 rotation curves" — to show that the clouds of gas rotated as if they were not under the influence of dark matter. Oman worked on one such paper, which was published Sept. 25 in The Astrophysical Journal Letters.
The newest paper, published Nov. 25 in the journal Nature Astronomy, identified the 19 dark matter-free galaxies using the same method.
"These H1 rotation curves are more accurate" than the method used by van Dokkum's team, said Till Sawala, an astrophysicist at the University of Helsinki. However, he said, there are still "systematic uncertainties" in the measurements that are yet to be resolved.
For instance, if the angle of the host galaxy relative to Earth is incorrectly measured, that can screw up the calculations, Oman said. And events like supernovas can speed up the gas in a normal galaxy, creating rotation curves that look from Earth like the galaxies in this new paper, Sawala said. Either way, more follow-up work is needed to confirm the dark matter-free claim, all the experts (including the study authors) said.
If it does turn out that certain galaxies do lack the normal amount of dark matter, however, that's a problem for current theories of how the universe formed.
Physicists explain how the universe formed and behaves using a model known as Lambda cold dark matter (ΛCDM). It describes three key features of the universe: the cosmological constant (Λ), dark matter and dark energy.
ΛCDM explains the way galaxies form, Sawala said, and it can't easily explain how these particular galaxies could have formed without dark matter.

Single? This Jeweler Will Pay You $1,500 to Go on 15 First Dates
Want to turn your Tinder swipes into debit swipes? Shane Co., a family-owned jeweler, is offering one lucky lovebird the opportunity to earn $1,500 just for going on 15 first dates.
Of course, if you're selected, you'll have to do more than just go on the dates. You'll also have to document the dates via photos and recaps for Shane Co., meaning your love connection (or dating disaster) could end up as fodder for a future marketing campaign for the jeweler.
$1,500 for 15 First Dates: How Does It Work?
Shane Co. is currently accepting applications for the gig. You have until just before Valentine's Day — Feb. 10, 2023 — to sign up. The winner will be announced Feb. 27, 2023.
But the contest isn't open to just anyone. You've got to be a U.S. citizen, 18 years or older and, most importantly, single and ready to mingle. Shane Co. makes this very clear: "Cheaters never win, and winners never cheat."
If you're willing to document your love life — and are OK with averaging three first dates a month for five months — you can fill out the application on Shane Co's website.
Be prepared: They'll ask about more than just your name and age. Shane Co. wants to know why you think you're right for the role and what your ideal first date would be.
If You're Selected by Shane Co.
The winning applicant will have five months to go on 15 first dates. On each date, the winner will have to snap a pic and then fill out a short worksheet about how the date went. (Think of it as writing in your diary after a date, except the whole world can read it.)
Every date has to be with a different person, and you can meet them however you want — online, as a blind date, at a bar or even, as Shane Co. suggests, at a bullfighting competition. You know, where love abounds.
Technically, the first dates don't have to be with strangers, so you could call up an old classmate or have an awkward conversation with a coworker if you're struggling to hit 15.
Before getting too excited about the prospect of a $1,500 reward, don't forget about the cost of dating. Last year, Zoosk found that the average date costs $97. After 15 of them, you'll have spent — wait for it — around 1,500 bucks.
Happy swiping!

Dead by Daylight's next villain is Silent Hill's own Pyramid Head
Dead by Daylight, the 4v1 multiplayer game that pits a team of survivors up against a horrific villain, is getting its next expansion. This time it'll be none other than the terrifying Pyramid Head from Konami cult horror game Silent Hill. The news, announced through the trailer below, is exciting for both horror buffs and fans of the long-dormant Silent Hill franchise.
That's not all. With the expansion's start in June, players can also have the option to play as Silent Hill 3 protagonist Cheryl Mason (aka Heather Mason). They can also run away from (or play as) the dreaded Pyramid Head in a new map based on the original Silent Hill's Midwich Elementary School. With this comes the best and closest we'll get to a simulated new Silent Hill experience, for now.
Silent Hill hasn't had a new game in quite some time. The most recent experience fans got was P.T., a demo that served as a teaser for the next entry to the series, Silent Hills. It wasn't to be, however, as Konami cancelled Silent Hills and pulled the demo from the digital store afterwards. Silent Hills remains one of the most famous unreleased – and unrealised – games in gaming history.
Dead by Daylight's latest expansion teases a world we're begging to re-explore
Dead by Daylight is by no means foreign to the idea of in-game crossovers. The asymmetric multiplayer game garnered some cult success by introducing villains and characters from horror games and movies such as Halloween, Left 4 Dead, Scream and more. Stranger Things was one of the notable crossovers to follow suit last year, including both Nancy Byers and Steve Harrington as survivors, with the villainous Demogorgon.
This isn't exactly what Silent Hill fans have been begging for. However, between this and many rumours of multiple franchise games in the works, it's certainly becoming plausible that we'll one day see Silent Hill again. In the meantime, the Silent Hill expansion for Dead by Daylight is slated to arrive just next month in June.


I purchased my Vogue Sports in 1985 for $1000 from the original owner who had bought it new from the local Launceston Rootes Group Dealer / Tasmanian Distributor - D L Hollis Motors, where she had been used for a brief time as a demonstration model.
It took a while to get, as the previous owner, Mr Ray Sutton, wasnt willing to sell until he had retired from work. He kept his word and sold me the Vogue on retirement, when he bought himself a new Toyota Celica. Ray is now deceased but I took the Vogue back to visit him a number of times before he passed away, on which he would always come out and give her a pat and say "Hello old girl, you still look pretty good. Glad you are being looked after"
Mileage when bought was 110 000 and is now 150 000. The lime green/moonstone paintwork is about 90% factory original and interior is in excellent original condition. Mechanically the motor and gearbox have been rebuilt and supension has also been renewed. Radial tyres are fitted as is a Holley 180 two barrel carburettor.
One of about 1200 Sports models to be built , this one is number 86 off the production line and one of four known to still exist in Tasmania.
She shares garage space with 4 Morris Minors, a VW Beetle 1200, Rover P4 100 and a 1965 Hillman Minx series 5A.
She is used for the occassional run to work, weekend run or display.
I had previously owned a standard Mk 2 Vogue which I now wish I had kept, but I do hope in the future to find another one and add to the collection.


The large grid of herbicide research plots across the highway from the Arkansas State University campus isn't always clean and pretty. But aesthetics don't matter in this outdoor classroom, say the Arkansas Extension researchers running the Jonesboro, Ark.-based program. All that matters is that visitors leave with a fuller grasp of herbicide symptomology.
Originally, the training lasted for only one day. Then, the Arkansas Crop Protection Association thought the plot work would help fulfill its educational mission. With such backing, the research work has grown from the original 30 plots to the current 140-plus.
The effectiveness as a teaching tool begins to fade after a few weeks. While viable, tours and classes visit frequently.
Researchers from across the Mid-South visit the plots. This year, even a team from New Mexico made the trip.
"What can happen is a mix of confusing terminology that's not terribly enlightening. A term used in the coffee shop to describe something doesn't always translate well in a written report.
That's especially true since the Plant Board inspectors so often deal with drift incidents.
Scott, who has also worked on the ASU plots from the beginning, said DD-50s are a little behind on rice this year. Much of the crop has "moved into green-ring, quarter-inch/half-inch internodes.
But once the crop hits green-ring — "and really anytime from then until panicle emergence and development" — glyphosate drift can damage seedheads. And there may be no symptomology until the heads emerge.
With the inspector program a success, the researchers wondered if others would find the plots useful.
The plots typically feature a wide range of spray dates so visitors will see herbicide symptomology in various stages.
"This year, we also have soil-applied," says Scott. "There's been more interest in those. There are over 20 plots out there with only one early-post product.
Shumway and Scott try to get at least a couple of planting dates in the plots. The type of chemistry determines when a herbicide is applied.
The researchers are trying to develop symptomology at different stages of a crop's development.
A Web site documenting the symptomology plots has been up since Jan. 3.

What is a CAFO, and why should you care?
If you aren't sure what exactly a CAFO is, or wonder what all the fuss about factory-scale farms is about, take a few minutes to read this new piece in Rolling Stone called "Pork's Dirty Secret: The nation's top hog producer is also one of America's worst polluters":
"Smithfield's holding ponds — the company calls them lagoons — cover as much as 120,000 square feet. The area around a single slaughterhouse can contain hundreds of lagoons, some of which run thirty feet deep. The liquid in them is not brown. The interactions between the bacteria and blood and afterbirths and stillborn piglets and urine and excrement and chemicals and drugs turn the lagoons pink."
The article goes into graphic detail, focusing on what the factory pork industry has done to the people of North Carolina:
"It was the biggest environmental spill in United States history, more than twice as big as the Exxon Valdez oil spill six years earlier. The sludge was so toxic it burned your skin if you touched it, and so dense it took almost two months to make its way sixteen miles downstream to the ocean. From the headwaters to the sea, every creature living in the river was killed. Fish died by the millions."
Some of the most descriptive passages focus on the unique, toxic stench associated with large operations:
"I've probably smelled stronger odors in my life, but nothing so insidiously and instantaneously nauseating. It takes my mind a second or two to get through the odor's first coat. The smell at its core has a frightening, uniquely enriched putridity, both deep-sweet and high-sour. I back away from it and walk back to the car but I remain sick — it's a shivery, retchy kind of nausea — for a good five minutes."
It's important to recognize that the stench, pollution, and runoff from CAFO's and similar industrial livestock operations are not the normal "farm smells" that most Hoosiers are very familiar with:
"We are used to farm odors," says one local farmer. "These are not farm odors." Sometimes the stink literally knocks people down: They walk out of the house to get something in the yard and become so nauseous they collapse. When they retain consciousness, they crawl back into the house."
Governor Daniels has made development of factory farms in Indiana the centerpiece of his agricultural policy, and many communities across the state are struggling to cope with the science and politics of permitting new operations seeking to locate in their backyards.
The Indiana Department of Agriculture, with the Indiana Land Resouces Council, is currently conducting "listening sessions"to develop model local ordinances regarding land use and zoning to apply to factory farm operations, but the Department of Agriculture's announcement of these meetings specifically points out that the "Indiana Land Resources Council will not consider a farmland preservation program or environmental regulations" as part of their recommendations.
Several bills dealing with CAFO's have been filed this session (inculding HB1197 and SB447 ), and the topic was raised with IDEM Commissioner Easterly at our last Environmental Affairs committee meeting. The Commissioner said IDEM would support a policy of requiring local approval of CAFOs before IDEM issues its permits. However, he also felt it was currently too difficult to discern what exactly would constitute official "local approval." That may be an area we are able to do some work on this session.

A Sanitation Worker in Pennsylvania helped save lives with his quick thinking. According to the news website Lehigh Valley Live, on September 19th, a car made a sharp turn and cut off traffic on a busy road in Stockertown, Pa., causing at least two cars to crash into a garbage truck. Thankfully for the safety of other drivers on the road, the driver of the garbage truck made the quick decision to veer into the median to avoid smashing into cars which had stopped abruptly. That quick decision caused the truck to roll over and the garbage truck driver to suffer a cut arm and head injury while the other drivers walked away unharmed. For more information, visit the link below.
As a lawyer who has worked closely with Sanitation Workers for more than 20 years, I know that this story is not an uncommon one. Many Sanitation Workers face a unique set of challenges and dangers every day. Heroic acts like this occur every day!

Mexico celebrates Sharjah as Guest of Honour at Guadalajara book fair
Sharjah's programme at the largest book fair in Latin America includes 27 sessions conducted by 20 cultural entities and 24 Emirati and Arab authors

A Staff Reporter
Sharjah is taking the centre stage as the Guest of Honour of the 36th Guadalajara International Book Fair (FIL), the leading cultural event in the Spanish-speaking world. The book fair, the largest in Latin America, takes place from November 26 to December 4, 2022.
The Mexican city is celebrating the cultural project of His Highness Sheikh Dr Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Member of the Supreme Council and Ruler of Sharjah, as the fair will be showcasing 57 Arabic books written by renowned Emirati authors and translated into Spanish. The cultural programme will also feature a selection of cultural, literary, media, and heritage activities, comprised of 27 sessions, presented by 20 cultural entities, with the participation of 24 Emirati and Arab authors and creatives, shedding light on Sharjah's efforts to give community members access to books and highlight the role of published works as the primary source of education, science and knowledge.
The Sharjah Book Authority (SBA) will be leading the emirate's cultural and literary programme at the book fair while hosting several entities and initiatives under its umbrella, including the Sharjah Publishing City (SPC), the Translation Grant, the Sharjah International Literary Agency (SILA), and the Arab Children's Book Publisher Forum (ACBPF).
Sheikh Fahim Al Qasimi, Chairman of the Department of Government Relations in Sharjah and Head of the Sharjah delegation at FIL 2022, said: "Mexico's celebration of Sharjah is the culmination of the close relationship that has been bringing together the UAE in general, and Sharjah in particular, and Mexican cities for many years. It underscores the uniqueness of the cultural project that His Highness Sheikh Dr Sultan bin Mohammed AlQasimi, Member of the Supreme Council and Ruler of Sharjah, introduced to the world. For more than 50 years, the emirate has believed that what is entrenched in the conscience of communities through art, creativity and books will be vibrantly reflected on the official entities of the countries and cities, and will have a long-lasting impact not only on the cultural sector but also on other sectors such as trade, investment, science, technology, among others."
"Authenticity is key in how countries and cities perceive and appreciate each other. This is why Sharjah's dialogue with world cultures is based on the authenticity and history of Arab culture and its contribution to human civilisation. The more Sharjah presents the essence of Emirati culture and the values it cherishes, the more it reflects the integral image of Arab culture with all of its aspects. This is key to any project that has the drive to achieve its aspirations and to any leading cultural project that seeks to elevate society and make a difference in the present and future of its nation," he added.
Ahmed bin Rakkad Al Ameri, Chairman of the SBA, said this global celebration of Sharjah's cultural project is the fruition of the wise vision of the Sharjah Ruler.
Al Ameri noted the close relationship between Sharjah and Latin America, particularly Mexico, had been ongoing for more than 14 years, with Sharjah's very first participation in the Guadalajara International Book Fair (FIL) in 2009, when it represented Arab and Emirati cultures. He noted that since then, the SBA continued those efforts through annual meetings with the publishing community of authors, literary agents, publishers, and international book fairs to communicate Sharjah's message.
Sharjah's programme translates UAE's cultural message and contributes to introducing Mexican people to Arab culture. It comprises book-launch, book-signing ceremonies, reading sessions, traditional shows, and poetry readings, including 'The Voice of the World' and 'Visions'. The Mexican Illustrators' reception will be organised by SBA, inviting all Mexican Illustrators who have participated in the Sharjah Children's Book Illustration Exhibition between 2017 to 2021.
The programme's spectrum of events and activities will be held in an enormous pavilion with a large space at the entrance of the book fair dedicated by FIL's management. It features reading sessions, panel discussions, seminars as well as cultural, media and cinema symposiums, including a session themed 'The Arabic Lexicon and Its Impact on the Spanish Language', a panel titled 'Book-Marketing Trends', a media symposiums themed 'Media: A Link Between the UAE and Mexico', a cultural session titled 'Travel Literature from the UAE to Mexico', and a cinema symposiums under the theme 'Keeping up with the Current Cinematic Situation in the UAE and Mexico', to name a few.
Arabic Calligraphy will be present at the book fair as Sharjah's Department of Culture will be holding an event themed 'Arabic Calligraphy: Its History, Origins And Its Influence on Other Cultures'. Arabic Calligraphy Exhibition will be opened in collaboration with the the University of Guadalajara.

Roger Wootton: Guitar and vocals
I attended Ravensbourne College of Art in 1966, where I met Glenn, who, like me, was a keen guitar player. We started jamming and were influenced at the time by John Renbourn and Burt Jansch. We began playing local folk clubs and gradually began adding additional members.
Both Glenn and I were studying graphic design, which, for both of us was not artistically stimulating enough. We met Colin, who was studying in the film and television school. A group of us rented a three story house in Beckenham, which included our soon to become manager, Chris Youle who was living with Jess,one of our art student group and Andy was a friend of a friend and brought in to make up the numbers to pay the rent. Bobbie, also turned up in a similar way and very soon we had a band with four of us living in the same house. I don't know, these days, what the chances are of five such suitably creative people coming together are, but it does look like an uncanny set of coincidences.
It was at this time that I began writing songs and,through a drug induced haze,and from a rural background, began on the distinctive series of songs which were to become First Utterance. It was at this time that we met up with David Bowie, who was organizing a local weekly gig at a pub in Beckenham. This club was known as the Beckenham Arts Lab; so now we had a weekly residency – a great place to get a band up and running.
Whilst at the house in Beckenham, we auditioned a flute/ bongo player. Among those who applied was Michael Bammi Rose who captivated us and he joined but was replaced a year later by Rob Young, a friend of Colin's. Chris eventually got us signed to PYE's new Dawn label and we recorded First Utterance and began touring. After early indications that we were going to be successful, we were eclipsed by the changes in the early 1970s and the work dropped off as all acoustic bands fell out of favour with the emergence of glam rock.
In 1974 the newly formed Virgin Records asked us if we would reform to make another album. Most had gone their separate ways and my new material was much more commercial. You must be aware of how it was in the 70s. The classification and genres of the music scene contracted and the industry were totally singles orientated. Anyway only three original members ended up on ' To keep from Crying' and, from our point of view the album was something of a disaster.
During our short history we had written two film scores for director, Lyndsay Shonteff – Permissive and Big Zapper. Afer the complete folding of Comus in 1974 members of the band, including myself collaborated on more film scores. I also designed album sleeves until the 1980s.
For some years I lived with the artist, Sheila Maclurkin. She designed the sleeve for the second Comus album, 'To keep from Crying'. She had a series of exhibitions of her surreallist mythological fantasy art in Sweden for which I helped her prepare and assisted her with her etchings and screen prints. On the subject of the second album, none of the songs are in our current set, but I performed "Down Like A Movie Star" with the Swedish band Piu in Stockholm early in December 2008.
In 2000 I began classical training as a baritone and began scoring out classical songs. I am still working on this project, although, because of Comus reforming and the need for new material, the classical songs are on the back burner.
I look forward to seeing how far Comus can go this time round. We have the original line-up bar one and there is more interest in us now than when we were originally together.

HI DAMN MISSED THE BOWIE FESTIVAL LAST WEEK!
IS WILF WHITTIGHAM STILL KEEPING YOU ON THE MOVE?
KEN SMITH SIMMONS
DOES THIS WORK>>>
Thanks for your message. Wilf did come with us to the first reunion gig on the Melloboat. Since then we've had to find our own way to gigs! Wilf is pretty much retired now, and lives down on the south coast.
Eddy Bonte says:
Dear Mr Wootton, Dear Roger, i only just discovered some music of yours through the compilation 'Dust on the Nettles'. I'll feature some songs of that triple album in my show My Generation on Radio 68. at any rate, "Winter is Colourful BIrd' is a great song! Hoping to find you on facebook, kind regards, Eddy http://www.radio68.be
Hi Eddy,
Thanks for your comment. We'll be sure to pass it onto Roger. Roger doesn't use FB, but Comus have a FB page at http://www.facebook.com/comusofficial
Devin Devine says:
I love the second album. Sure, it's not as groundbreaking as the first and it is a great departure from the first…but it is a great album on it's own merits and it saddens me a bit when I read people being down on it. If I saw comus live….I'd love to hear a couple songs off of to keep from crying.
Thanks, Devin – I'll pass your comments on to the rest of the band. Comus is having a bit of a sabbatical at the moment, but there have been discussions about re-introducing a couple of TTFC songs into the set.
Ivor says:
Hi, I'm putting a book together about Bowie 1971. I'm trying to establish if Roger Wooton was Roger 'the lodger'. I suppose only Roger would know. It's a bit of a weird one but thought I'd ask. Regards.
Hi Ivor – thanks for the email. We've forwarded your query to Roger for clarification!

Hello Jon and Roger
I found Comus and First Utterance thanks to a boyfriend I had in 1977 when I was 16-17..
Wow! wot an impact! I have carried it, shared it, danced with it, returned to it, all through my life.
It's the album I would run into the sea to rescue!
I have experimented, performed and toured in dance and theatre for the last 20 years and I am just now starting to consider a new project. I want to work with remarkable and completely unique artists and that's you! Would you be happy to have a loose considering conversation about this?
It would be good to kick some ideas around, have a bit of a play.. Wot do you reckon?
Nicholas Skilton says:
Just to say with regard to the second album, I think Figure in Your Dreams is the best vocal performance from anyone I've ever heard. And it's a lovely song too.
Thanks for this, Nicholas; we'll pass your comments on to Bobbie & Roger!
Off of To Keep From Crying, Children of the Universe + TKFC itself have just as much magic as First Utterance for me 🙂 I can't believe I never thought to just google Comus before, didn't realise half the members remained active making music in various other projects on and off for the past 45 years!
Thanks for your kind words and comment, Jon – much appreciated!
N Skilton says:
I agree. Love TKFC, play it regularly.

Joseph Worosila says:
Hello, I consider First Utterance an absolute masterpiece not just of folk but of music entirely and I would like to keep up with the band. I'd love to follow Roger Wootton, Glen, Jon, Bobbie, anybody really on Twitter/Facebook just to know they're even still alive and active. You guys are seriously influential in my art and music and would love to hear from you
Hello Joseph. Thank you for your very kind words, which will be passed on to the rest of the band.
I'm happy to report that we're all still above ground (for the time being at least)! Glen has a website (http://www.glenngoring.com), as does Bobbie (bobbieseagroatt.com – currently under re-build), and mine is jonseagroatt.com. Bobbie is active on Facebook and Instagram (either as Bobbie Watson or Bobbie Seagroatt), and I'm an infrequent, somewhat reluctant contributor the Mark Zuckerberg's largest ad agency in the world too.
You might be interested to know that Bobbie and I are video-link performing 're-imaginings' (radical re-arrangements!) of two Comus songs (Herald & In The Lost Queen's Eyes) as part of an online festival being run by Chicago's Experimental Sound Studio (https://ess.org) on Sunday 5th July.
Best wishes, and thanks again for your kind comments. Jon
Steve Lillywhite says:
Hi Roger, I was a huge fan of First Utterance first time around and it helped shape my future as a record producer. I am now revisiting it and amazing how I remember every part. My kind of music …. Steve Lillywhite
Hi Steve, thank you for your very kind words. I've forwarded your comment on to Rog. I'm sure he'll be both surprised and flattered to hear that he was an early inspiration for you!
Rog asked me to convey his thanks, Steve – he was very pleased to read your forwarded comment.

After researching, I would go for Akitio Node Thunderbolt 3 enclosure, and tb3->tb2 adapter.
1/ If I would like to use egpu in mac os as well, putting AMD graphic is more compatible than Geforce?
2/ My mac os running majova lastest os, if the patch provided here supported yet?
3/ After installing windows 10 ver.1803, do I need to install Uefi boot menu to select windows partition instead of just press "option" as usual?

Yet those eating a healthy diet low in refined foods and high in unprocessed whole foods including fruits, vegetables and grass fed animal products may not be getting enough salt.
But not all salts are equal.
Salt is essential not only to life, but to good health. Human blood contains 0.9% salt. Without salt, our bodies cannot perform some of it's vital functions such as regulating blood and body fluids and maintaining neurological signals. Salt deficiency can lead to muscular weakness, cramps and exhaustion.
Although salt is thought of as dehydrating, in actuality, those who exercise regularly not only need to replenish water but re-hydration involves replacing both water and salt as salt is a very important ingredient which helps regulate the water content in our bodies. In fact, eating salt will not make you thirsty and increases the metabolism. A Russian study showed that eating more salt lowers thirst, increases metabolism, and can help you loose weight.
In 1994, A study involving astronauts revealed that sodium levels in their bodies were completely unrelated to their urine output. When the crew ate more salt, they excreted more salt; the amount of sodium in their blood remained constant, and their urine volume increased. When consuming more salt they were drinking less water.
Salt is a strong natural antihistamine. It can be used to relieve asthma by putting it on the tongue after drinking a glass or two of water.
Salt is the best diuretic that exists.
Salt is essential in the treatment of emotional and affective disorders.
Salt is essential for preserving the serotonin and melatonin levels in the brain. When water and salt perform their natural antioxidant duties and clear the toxic waste from the body, essential amino acids will not be sacrificed as chemical antioxidants.
Salt is vital for the prevention and treatment of cancer. Cancer cells are killed by oxygen; they are anaerobic 'organisms'... dehydration - shortage of water and salt - suppresses the immune system and its disease-fighting cells' activity.
Salt is effective in stabilizing irregular heartbeats and, contrary to the misconception that it causes high blood pressure, it is actually essential for the regulation of blood pressure - in conjunction with water.
Salt is a vitally needed element in the treatment of diabetics. It helps balance the sugar levels in the blood and reduces the need for (injected) insulin.
Salt is vital for the generation of hydroelectric energy in all of the cells of the body.
Salt is vital to the communication and information processing of nerve cells the entire time that the brain cells work - from the moment of conception to death.
Salt is essential for the absorption of food particles through the intestinal tract.
Salt is vital for clearing the lungs of mucus plugs and sticky phlegm, particularly in asthma, emphysema and cystic fibrosis sufferers.
Salt is vital for clearing up catarrh and sinus congestion.
Osteoporosis, in a major way, is the result of salt and water shortage in the body.
Salt is absolutely vital to making the structure of bones firm.
Don't reach for that salt shaker filled with those unearthly dry white grains.
The common white table salt is a super refined white poison. Table salt is mechanically harvested and processed down to sodium and chloride. Table salt is then heat processed with temperatures reaching 1200 degrees F, changing he salt's chemical structure, which in turn adversely affects the human body. Common table salt we use for cooking has only 2 or 3 chemical elements. Natural unrefined salt contains 80 or more minerals which are vital for our bodies to be healthy.
Cardboard boxes of "sea salt" are readily available at any grocery store...The term sea salt is not very specific. It can mean any salt from the sea, whether it is industrial, refined etc. Buyer beware, all sea salts are not created equal.
According to Dr. Batmanghelidj, M.D., "As a rule of thumb, you need about 3 grams of salt - a half teaspoon - for every 10 glasses of water, or a quarter teaspoon per quart of water." (Place a few grains on your tongue after each glass of water.) Those in heart failure - or kidney failure needing dialysis - MUST consult their doctors before increasing their salt intake. Sea salt contains at least 80 mineral elements that the body needs. Some of these elements are needed in trace amounts. Unrefined sea salt is a better choice of salt than other types of salt on the market. Ordinary table salt... has been stripped of its companion elements and contains addictive elements such as aluminum cilicate to keep it powdery and porous. Aluminum is a very toxic element in our nervous system. It is implicated as one of the primary causes of Alzheimer's disease.
Unrefined artisan natural grey Sea Salt hand-harvested by ancient Celtic methods is a flavorful and healthy salt containing at least 80 vital elements for our bodies.
The grey sea salt from Guérande provides a full spectrum matrix of minerals and micro-nutrients. It is known as the sea salt with the highest content of magnesium.
ZINC 5 mg / kg.
MANGANESE 6.8 mg / kg.
IRON 85 mg / kg.
Serving of 1 g of Le Paludier Fine Grey Sea Salt contains 380 mg of sodium = 16% of the rda for sodium.
I use this salt regularly for cooking, baking, washing wounds, bathing and as a gargle. It is fantastic in all cooking especially soups.
Le Paludier unrefined grey sea salt is cultivated from a pristine clean shore. Ecologically hand harvested using wooden tools in Guerande-Brittany France in the ancient Celtic tradition. The seawater, after passing through a series of canals, evaporates on natural clay beds where it is gently raked into piles and dried slowly in the sun. This superior salt is unlike any you have ever tasted!
Unrefined sea salt is far superior to ordinary refined table salt, which has been stripped away of minerals and trace elements and contains additives.
* Free of anti-binding agents, pollutants & heavy metals.
* Packaged under pharmaceutical conditions.
* Never touched by any machinery or metal.
* Unrefined & contains 92 essential minerals & trace elements that the human body needs.
* Rich in magnesium & calcium.
* Lower in sodium than refined salt.
* Pleasing natural taste with none of the harsh overtones found in processed salt.
* Ideal for seasoning meats & vegetables, baking, cooking and table.
* Considered to be the best quality sea salt in the world.

Land Tax is payable on the taxable value of all land situated in NSW and is charged on land as owned at midnight on the 31st December each year.
Land Tax is payable by the owner of the land on all land owned by that owner in NSW which is not exempt. Joint owners of land are assessed as per their interest in the Land which is combined with any other land holding of theirs in NSW.
Unoccupied land intended to be the owners principal place of residence.
The most widely known concession is the Principal Place of Residence ('PPOR') concession where land is used and occupied by the owner as their principal place of residence and for no other purpose if the land is residential land or residential strata lot.
(f) 2 rooms, each of which is separately occupied.
Where the land is used and occupied by the owner primarily for residential purposes but not more than one room is used primarily for business purposes, the use of the land for the purpose of the business may be disregarded if the business is primarily conducted elsewhere.
Where the owner intends to use and occupy the land solely as his or her principal place of residence and the land is unoccupied because the owner intends to carry out, or is carrying out, building or other works necessary to facilitate his or her intended use and occupation of the land as a principal place of residence, and if those building or other works have physically commenced on the land and no income has been derived from the use and occupation of the land since that commencement. It should also be noted that there is a 4 year limit with this concession.
Each Landowner in NSW who has assessable land should be registered for Land Tax. It is the land owners obligation to do so.

WORLD NEWS IRAQ PARLIAMENT SACKS GOVERNOR OVER DEADLY FERRY CAPSIZE
IRAQ PARLIAMENT SACKS GOVERNOR OVER DEADLY FERRY CAPSIZE
by Français on March 24, 2019 in WORLD NEWS
Iraq's parliament on Sunday sacked the governor of a northern province where 100 people died in a ferry disaster that sparked a wave of grief and anger.
Most of those killed when the boat sank Thursday in the Tigris River in Mosul were women and children headed for a Mother's Day picnic on the Kurds' Nowruz New Year holiday.
Prime Minister Adel Abdel Mehdi wrote to parliament on Saturday calling on legislators to fire Nineveh provincial governor Nawfel Akoub, citing "negligence and concrete failings" meriting his dismissal.
His two deputies were also fired during a vote in the national assembly.
Parliament declared those killed in the tragedy "martyrs", allowing their families to receive financial compensation and paving the way for court proceedings.
Sixteen people have been arrested as part of an investigation into the ferry capsize, a security official said.
Authorities say 63 people are still listed as missing.
Dozens of students held a silent protest Sunday on the campus of the university of Mosul, dressed in black to mourn the victims.
One of them, Abdullah al-Jubburi, told AFP they were demonstrating to demand that "corrupt" politicians and civil servants be replaced.
"The governor and all corrupt officials must be put on trial… We are fed up of being mistreated and marginalised," said fellow protester Isra Mohammed.
Akoub has already been subjected to the anger of victims' relatives and their supporters over alleged corruption and cronyism.When he visited the scene of the tragedy on Friday stones were thrown at his convoy by protesters demonstrating against perceived corruption and neglect.

Move For Life has been set up to deliver positive strategies in order to combat anti-social behaviour in Britain's young people, above all, to fight knife and gun crime. Many organizations are already fighting the causes of knife crime within London. However, with the majority having a low profile and limited funding they are often scarcely known and are restricted to offering their services to a selected area and demographic.
Therefore Move For Life's aim is to act as an Umbrella Organization drawing similar charities and schemes together to work as one, creating a bigger impact on the elimination of knife crime, whilst also raising the profile of other schemes, so they have the recognition they deserve.
As a registered charity, Move For Life organisation will provide attractive opportunities for young people between the ages of 12-25, who are at risk of offending or re-offending, allowing them to channel their energies away from Gang related crime and violence, acting as a bridge between the streets and opportunities. Although we will not work directly with the young people, We will direct them to groups and schemes that are already established.
The range of partners we will have available for young people will be diverse and attractive. Each project will provide a sense of Purpose, Identity, Belonging, Engagement and Mentoring.

And each of the territories is teated as such: Territory of New Mexico, Territory of Minnesota, Territory of Utah, Washington Territory, Oregon Territory, There is also a full-page map for each continent. An excellent source of information on the state of the world's geography in the mid-19th century.
A lengthy footnote on page 479 describes the recent gold discoveries in Australia: "Although gold has only so recently been found in large quantities in Australia, rumors of its existence have for several years been prevalent in the colony... The emigration to Australia, at the present time (1853), from England and the United States, is said to average about 1,000 daily."
In a bow to a nascent globalization due to technological innovation ("All Nations... brought together by Steam & Telegraph) the cover sports an elaborate allegorical image depicting an American man shaking hands with a Chinese man, surrounded with numerous symbols, both old and new: smokestacks, masted-ships, a beehive (for industry), a Chinese junk, a horn of plenty or cornucopia, with an eagle soaring above wielding an olive branch.
Map of the World and Female Costumes of Different Parts of the World
The folding hand-colored map of the world is beautifully and elaborately decorated with woodcut views of various exotic locales, including the pyramids in Egypt and scenes in India, but also an American farmer wielding his horse-drawn plough. The map also includes depictions of the world's human "races" (with the "Angle-Saxon" man prominently displayed at top center), and notably including a Sandwich Islander, Esquimaux, Patagonian, Kamtschatkan, Papuan, S. Australian, Tasmanian, Bushman, Mozambique Negro, Swarthy Calmuc, among several other European and Asian peoples. But perhaps most wonderfully, are the illustrations of thirty-nine "female costumes" along the bottom edge, showing full-standing views of women from different parts of the world, including the traditional dresses from the Americas: Modern Peru, Ancient Peru, Paraguay, Esquimaux, Buenos Ayres, Mexico, Brazil, Guatemala, Madison Island, and Sandwich Islands.
The first edition of this work appeared in 1853, yet all early editions of the work are scarce in the market, especially so with the folding map intact and in nice condition.

There are dozens of varieties of avocados. The rich and creamy Hass variety is the most popular type of avocado in the United States, and 95% of all avocados grown in the United States are produced in California, original home of the Hass variety. They are generally available throughout the year, they are the most abundant and at their best during the spring and summer in California and in October in Florida. During the fall and winter months you can find Fuerto, Zutano and Bacon varieties. While avocados are technically fruits, we have categorized them here as vegetables since this is how they are usually considered from a culinary perspective.
A ripe, ready-to-eat avocado is slightly soft but should have no dark sunken spots or cracks. If the avocado has a slight neck, rather than being rounded on top, it was probably tree ripened and will have better flavor. A firmer, less mature fruit can be ripened at home and will be less likely to have bruises. The average California Hass avocado weighs between 165-170 grams (about 6 ounces) and has a pebbled dark green or black skin, while the Fuerte avocado has smoother, brighter green skin. Florida avocados, which can be as large as 3 pounds, have less fat and calories, but their taste is not as rich as California varieties.

Hey all — it's guest blog time! This one is from Nancy Fulda, who has an extensive short story list, and an anthology — and who also just won the Jim Baen Memorial writing contest this year! She's transitioning from shorts to novels, and I'll get out of the way now and let her talk….
When I started A New Kind of Sunrise I instinctively tried to stick to this principle. The result was a story that felt flat, uninteresting, and was spread far too thin to be exciting. I went back to flesh it out and discovered the great joy of novel-writing: There is time to explore a character in context. Mikaena's struggle to understand her world still dominates the story, but I can also place her in a complex network of relationships and observe the way she and her tribemates affect each other. It's intriguing. And it's something I could never properly explore in 4000 words.

Interesting stuff, Nancy. I'm thinking about novels, too. It's a tricky transition.

City Drops Suit Against Sriracha, People Apparently Not Getting Hot Sauce Lung Anymore
Say your prayers, tongue!
By Carolyn CoxMay 29th, 2014, 11:32 am
You can stop buying in bulk, everyone. After months of controversy, the city of Irwindale, California, has finally dropped the lawsuit against Sriracha-maker Huy Fong Foods and company CEO David Tran.
The Sriracha debacle began last October, when residents of Irwindale complained that the smell from the factory acted essentially like a tear gas, causing headaches and an unpleasant burning sensation. In February Huy Fong Foods was allowed six months to conduct air quality testing, and in April Irwindale gave the company an ultimatum: clean up once and for all, or get out. Rising tensions in the dispute came to a head when David Tran said there was "not a big difference" between California and Communist Vietnam, which is probably flattering to Communist Vietnam.
The decision to allow the controversial condiment to stay in Irwindale came after representatives from Governor Jerry Brown's office inspected the factory this week. Mayor Mark Brecada met with the Governor's inspectors and announced in a city council hearing on Wednesday that Huy Fong Foods would be granted a reprieve, explaining "We have to keep employment in Irwindale. We have to expand. It's good for Irwindale. It's good for California."
Huy Fong Foods factory has upgraded its air filtration system and will need to immediately address any air quality complaints that arise. Although the company received numerous invitations to move to other towns and might ultimately have received a warmer reception elsewhere, the jobs of the 270 workers at the Irwindale plant have been saved, although probably not their taste buds.

People were very, very concerned about a spice shortage
Then everyone was worried when Huy Fong Foods got an ultimatum

Both Jock and I have previously travelled extensively throughout the world and have been touched by the generosity and gracious hospitality of the people (often in less fortunate communities) that they visited.
We decided that this time we want to give something back by fundraising for a grassroots project in one of the communities that they will be travelling through.
To do this we have chosen to partner with the Intrepid Foundation as we feel that the Foundation's work best matches their ideals for giving back to a deserving community.
The Intrepid Foundation provides travellers with an opportunity to give something back to the many wonderful communities we travel to. By donating to The Intrepid Foundation you can make a difference in local communities – in health care, education, human rights, child welfare and the protection of wildlife and the environment.
All donations made to The Intrepid Foundation will be matched by Intrepid Travel dollar for dollar, up to the value of AU$300,000 per year and for a maximum of AU$5,000 total per donor for the financial year. All costs are covered by Intrepid Travel.
The specific project that we will be fundraising to support is the rebuilding of the Escuela Wiñaypaq (Winaypaq School).
To strengthen the Andean culture's traditional values such as respect and harmony in order to raise the children's self-confidence and to make them feel proud of their cultural heritage.
The school was started after Waltraud Stolben, a German social educator, visited the community and became aware that most of the children were natives living in extreme poverty conditions with no access to proper education. Working with the people from the different local communities around Taray District: Huandar, Qaqaqollo, Pisaq, Ampay, Sonqo, Japu and Kiko, she helped establish this non-profit community based school. Since 2006 it has been officially recognized by the Peruvian Government as a private school and currently has 34 students.
The school's philosophy is to respect their native language (bearing in mind that schools in Peru have a curriculum in Spanish even in rural areas); and respect for their culture and their environment, focusing on the relationship between the man and the 'Pachamama' or 'mother earth' in Quechua. As poor nutrition reflects in the children's attention span, the school provides nutritional Andean food, based on grains like quinoa, maca and kiwicha which are rich in proteins and minerals.
Escuela Wiñaypaq receives no government funding and depends entirely on individual and business support. They also have some small income from the selling of home made cookies, muesli and natural ointments to travellers. Part of their project plan is to run workshops such as screen-printing to produce goods like instructional materials, Andean tales, recording CDs with Andean music, etc. for their own use and also for sale to help financially sustain the school in the future.
In March 2010 the town of Taray saw horrific floods and mud slides. Very tragically, seven people have died and a high percentage of the community's homes have been severely damaged or totally destroyed.
Escuela Wiñaypaq was destroyed – the classrooms, kitchen, fish farm, workshops and teachers room are all in ruins. We urge you to give what you can so that we may help the school and lives of the children to return to normality as soon as possible.
Check out photos of the school and the damage caused by the floods.


President Barack Obama gestures during a joint news conference with Chinese President Xi Jinping, Sept. 25, 2015, in the Rose Garden of the White House in Washington.
Two days after President Obama and Chinese President Xi Jinping held a joint press conference on September 25, Chinese state-run Tibet Radio announced a fabricated quotation of Obama's remarks from the joint press conference held at the Rose Garden.
"Obama said, the United States will not support the so-called Taiwan independence, Tibet independence, Xinjiang independence and the US will not interfere Hong Kong affairs." Obama may have indicated some aspects of these messages, but they were not words from Obama's remarks that he made during the joint press conference. What the Chinese media did not mention was that Obama urged Xi Jinping to preserve the Tibetan religion and culture and engage with the Dalai Lama or his representatives.
Scholars familiar to Chinese media coverages in sensitive regions like Tibet didn't expect that Chinese media would mention the US president raising human rights and Tibet issues, including freedom of press and religion that Mr. Obama said he "affirmed" in meeting with Xi.
Kaixi, who is currently seeking a chair in Taiwan parliament, said that the main messages about Xi Jinping's trip to U.S. in Chinese media were all about how successful it was.
Tibet Radio also made an announcement that Obama had promised to leave aside the issues that the two counties disagree upon and move forward to work together constructively.
Obama had clearly said that he had raised concerns about cyber-threats, South China Sea territorial disputes issues, and had a "frank" discussion on human rights issues with Xi.
Experts now question how successful the trip actually was for Xi Jinping. Less than two weeks after his meeting with President Obama, the U.S. Navy is now reportedly preparing to send ships inside the territorial limit China claims in South China Sea.

From "Bind man by chains of Constitution" to "Bind man by chains of Cryptography": No more confidence or faith in man behaviors
Posted by: adonis49 on: May 5, 2015
In: Book Review | education methods/programs | engineering/research/experiments | Events/Cultural/Educational/Arts | political Artical | social articles
Equal Internet to all? Any why science must outpace laws on restricting collective data gathering and national security?
Thomas Jefferson wrote in 1798:
"In questions of power. Let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution"
In 2008, Edward Snowden wrote in his manifesto of pro-privacy, anti-surveillance of massive collective data gathering solidarity cause:
"Let us speak no more of faith in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of cryptography.
Equal internet will work to the advantage of the average person when science outpaces law.
By understanding the mechanisms through which our privacy is violated, we can win. We can guarantee people equal protection against unreasonable search through universal law, but only if the technical community is willing to face the threat and commit to implementing over engineered solutions in (cryptography)"
The successive US governments worked hard in the last decade to demonstrate unlimited power. It preempted wars, tortured prisoners and imprisoned people without charges in undisclosed incarceration camps, drone-bombed targets in extrajudicial killings in Yemen, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Syria…
President Obama directive of Nov. 2012 stated:
"To senior national security and intelligence officials: Draw up list of potential overseas targets for US cyber attacks. Prepare for a series of aggressive offensive cyber operations around the world…
And the messengers of divulging such atrocities and mass collective gathering of communication on private citizens in the US and abroad were Not immune under the law of free press.
Whistle-blowers were abused, prosecuted and jailed.
Investigative reporters and journalists were threatened with jail terms.
The decade of cultivated display of intimidation to anyone who even contemplate of challenging the power-to-be in the US is still thriving and immune from blame and prosecution.
On June 9, 2013, The Guardian revealed Edward Snowden, the leaker of top secret documents on the worldwide data gathering of the NSA.
Laura Poitras posted a 12-minute interview with Ed:
"Um, my name is Ed Snowden. I'm 29 years old. I work for Booz Allen Hamilton as an infrastructure analyst for NSA in Hawaii…
For 6 months, Snowden was emailing Glenn Greenwald under Cincinnatus encouraging him to install a PGP encryption program that shield email and online communication from surveillance and hacking activities. and so communications cannot be intercepted
And Glenn procrastinated because he was no expert in such installation. Snowden then contacted Laura Poitras and sent her a few secret documents in order to win Glenn over and join him in Hong Kong. Snowden identity was still a secret and on leave for epileptic treatments.
Snowden didn't finish high school but was hired as an internet expert by the CIA, NSA and Booz Allen. He had a diplomatic passport when stationed in Switzerland and was ordered to visit many locations in Europe to install communication infrastructure in order to gather secret communication on a wide scale.
And Glenn and Laura published a series of top secret documents of the NSA in the Guardian.
And I'm wondering:
1. By what chains can we bind our morbid species from igniting a Hydrogen Bomb?
2. By what chains can we bind our fickle and instant gratifying species from poisoning our environment to an irreversible state of no return?
If history is a guide, the few occasional decades of enlightenment and culture do Not match the consistent trend of our species for self-immolation
Note 1: Laura Poitras made the documentaries "My Country" in the Sunni Triangle during the US invasion of Iraq and "The Oath" following bin Laden's bodyguard and driver in Yemen.
Note 2: Read "No Place to Hide" by Glenn Greenwald

Right in the middle of perhaps the most beautiful, breathtaking, magisterial descriptions of the eternal Son of God ever penned, the apostle John, abruptly it seems, writes these words: "There was a man sent from God, whose name was John" (John 1:6). They almost feel like an interruption, like a distraction. Is the apostle directing our eyes away from God the Son, the Word, the Life, the Light, in order to look at a man? No. The apostle is directing us to see the Son through a man. This seemingly odd insertion about John the Baptist reveals something else profound and mysterious: God has chosen to make witnesses the windows through which men see Jesus. For fallen humans, witnesses are windows to the truth. That's why whenever we must judge whether someone is telling us the truth or not, we almost always look for a witness. For us, there is something uniquely powerful about an objective person who confirms the truth of another's testimony, someone who has nothing worldly to gain from verifying what he believes to be true. If that witness is willing to suffer loss by his verification, it's even more powerful. And if many witnesses are willing to suffer loss, even their own lives, to confirm the truth of a person's testimony, it is exponentially powerful. John the Baptist "came as a witness . . . that all might believe through him" (1:7). He was the first in what has become a great "cloud of witnesses" (Hebrews 12:1) to the truth of Jesus's testimony. This cloud has swelled to millions and millions, each witness having seen Jesus through the witness of another. Thousands more join this cloud every day. And many in the cloud have lost, or will lose today, their lives because of their witness. And because of their loss, all the more will see Jesus through the window of their witness and believe. When we hear the call of Jesus and follow him, Jesus says to us, "You are my witnesses" (see Acts 1:8). Our faith is not a private matter. It is a public window through which God wants to reveal Jesus to others. That is our primary call on earth, no matter what other tasks God has given us to accomplish. We are not our own (1 Corinthians 6:19). We too are men sent from God.

Home | Blogs| NAMI Blog| June 2015 | New Report Shows Challenges Facing People With Serious Mental Illness Living on SSI
New Report Shows Challenges Facing People With Serious Mental Illness Living on SSI
By Andrew Sperling
[+] Expand. Photo from the Technical Assistance Collaborative.
Earlier this week, the Technical Assistance Collaborative and the Consortium for Citizens With Disabilities (CCD) Housing Task Force released an important report showing the huge difficulties faced by people with disabilities including mental illness in getting affordable rental housing. The report, Priced Out in 2014, compares Supplemental Security Income (SSI) to fair market rents in housing markets across the country. A fairly obvious point made for anyone who relies on SSI for basic needs or has family members that do–nowhere in America are SSI benefits enough to rent your own apartment.
Along with the report, they released a fact sheet with these key findings:
The average annual income of a single individual receiving SSI payments was $8,995 — equal to only 20.1% of the national median income for a one-person household and about 23% below the 2014 federal poverty level.
The national average rent for a modest one-bedroom rental unit was $780, equal to 104% of the national average monthly income of a one-person SSI household. This finding confirms that, in 2014, it was virtually impossible for a single adult receiving SSI to obtain decent and safe housing in the community without some type of rental assistance.
The national average rent for a studio/efficiency unit in 2014 was $674, equal to 90% of monthly SSI. In eight states and in the District of Columbia, areas with the highest housing costs in the nation, the average studio/efficiency rent exceeded 100% of the income of an SSI recipient.
In 17 states and the District of Columbia, statewide average one-bedroom rents were higher than monthly SSI payments, including: Hawaii (173%), District of Columbia (171%), Maryland (146%), New Jersey (144%), New York (133%), Virginia (126%), Delaware (123%), California (121%), Massachusetts (121%), New Hampshire (113%), Connecticut (113%), Florida (111%), Illinois (111%), Vermont (107%), Colorado (106%), Nevada (105%), Washington (104%), and Rhode Island (103%).
In four states — Delaware, Hawaii, New Hampshire, and New Jersey — and the District of Columbia, one-bedroom rents exceeded 100% of SSI in every single housing market area. Over 156,000 people with disabilities receiving SSI lived in these areas in 2014.
In 162 housing market areas across 33 states, one-bedroom rents exceeded 100% of monthly SSI. Rents for modest rental units in 15 of these areas exceeded 150% of SSI.
While this is not news, the report can be used as an advocacy tool for NAMI members in asking their affordable housing system to support rental housing—especially Section 8—to non-elderly people with disabilities.
Visit the Technical Assitance Collaborative's website to learn more about the key findings and what we can do about this crisis.

W swojej karierze grał także w takich zespołach jak Bari oraz Latina. Ma za sobą grę w reprezentacji Kamerunu do lat 23.

W 2014 roku pojawiły się niejasności co do wieku Minali. Część mediów rozpowszechniło informacje, jakoby zawodnik miał w rzeczywistości nie 17, a 42 lata. Po przeprowadzonym dochodzeniu Włoski Związek Piłki Nożnej potwierdził jednak, że piłkarz urodził się w 1996 roku.

Meera Joshi Nominated Taxi Commission Chair
By Stephanie West
New York, NY — Mayor Bill de Blasio announced the nomination of Meera Joshi to serve as Chairwoman and Chief Executive Officer of the New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC). Joshi has worked in city government for more than a decade. Recently she served as General Counsel at the TLC. Joshi was instrumental in the city's landmark commitment to 50 percent wheelchair accessibility by 2020, and the requirement that all taxicabs be crash-tested to federal standards by the end of 2014.
"Meera Joshi is a dedicated public servant with the experience and energy to move our Taxi and Limousine Commission in a progressive direction, ensuring we prioritize New Yorkers' safety," said Mayor de Blasio. "I look forward to the City Council's consideration and consent of her appointment."
""I am committed to the de Blasio administration's agenda of providing equitable taxi and for-hire transportation services and safe streets for all New Yorkers, said Joshi."

Hyacinth is a fresh, white, clean, intense floral, and the quintessential scent of spring. After extensive searching and testing, this is the ONLY hyacinth fragrance we ever got our hands on that didn't mutate most hideously in cold-process soap -- this one stays true and strong. A delight in soaps, candles, and toiletries; delivers an almost unparalleled bang for the buck. PERSONAL NOTE: After buying many hyacinth plants that quickly drooped and died, now I don't bother -- a couple drops of Hyacinth fragrance on a cotton ball or vintage handkerchief and my powder room, guest room, and kitchen smell like a veritable greenhouse in April.
This blend is fresh and new, yet it has a romantic charm. It has the time-tested fragrance of roses, yet is loved by people who usually don't care for rose fragrances. And Hyacinth will brighten up any floral blend. This Elizabethan Rose blend will transport you into a summer garden on a warm breezy night. If you'd like to substitute a different rose scent, you can use 5 parts Sweet Cakes Rose Petals, or 3 parts Sweet Cakes Red Rose.


Elegant and traditional, this diamond bridal set has the classic look she'll love.

On your wedding day, two coordinating diamond and milgrain wedding bands fit on either side of the engagement ring, completing the ensemble. A meaningful look of love, this bridal set captivates with 3/8 ct. t.w. of diamonds and a polished shine.
