The sewage is exposed to the air and causes a lot of nausea and headaches,” said Veronica Isabel Dahlberg, executive director of HOLA Ohio, a nonprofit group assisting Latino state residents, which has advised mobile home park residents who sued. It is very expensive,” said Yvonne Maldonado, a co-director of Manufactured Housing Action, a nonprofit group that focuses on such communities. “We have recently seen private equity enter the manufactured housing market," PESP housing research coordinator Madeline Bankson said. During hurricanes, the National Weather Service has said, 72% of deaths occur in homes, and of those, 54% occur in mobile homes. She also urged mobile home park residents to organize their communities and if there are complaints, to do it as a group, which is more effective.

DNA testing has revealed that a skull found decades ago in the wall of an Illinois house belonged to an 18-year-old woman who died just after the American Civil War. How did the skull end up in a wall in Illinois when Granger's body was buried in Indiana? "Grave robbing was quite common in that era as it was quite profitable. While the practice was illegal, the law forbidding grave robbing was not always enforced, Russell said. It was hugely controversial as a result, with riots and even murders of alleged perpetrators following some suspected grave robbing incidents.

Esther Granger was identified by the Kane County Coroner’s Office on Thursday as the woman whose skull was found in 1978, but she died more than 150 years earlier. The skull was turned back into the police and officials linked this skull to the 1978 report, which renewed the investigation. In 2023, Kane County officials contacted Othram, a Texas company that works on solving cold cases across the country, to assist with further DNA testing. Officials contacted Granger’s great-great grandson, Wayne Svilar, and he submitted his DNA for testing, which was a match, he said during Thursday’s news conference. Svilar, 69, said he did not believe the news when he was first contacted by county officials in April about his great-great grandmother.

Three U.S.-based academics won the 2024 Nobel economics prize on Monday for their research into why global inequality persists, especially in countries dogged by corruption and dictatorship. The laureates have demonstrated the importance of societal institutions for achieving this,” said Jakob Svensson, Chair of the Committee for the Prize in Economic Sciences. Last year, Harvard economic historian Claudia Goldin won the prize for her work highlighting the causes of wage and labour market inequality between men and women. In 2019, economists Abhijit Banerjee, Esther Duflo and Michael Kremer won the award for work on fighting poverty. The economics prize has been dominated by U.S. academics since its inception, while U.S.-based researchers also tend to account for a large portion of winners in the scientific fields for which 2024 laureates were announced last week.

☆ I thought I absolutely hated cruises — but then I went on one of the largest ships in the world

Read previewIf you'd asked me just a year ago what I thought of cruises, my answer would have been a resounding "meh." One highlight was the high-flying acrobatics show that I still can't believe happened on a cruise ship. The kids' club was a massive perk, tooAs befitting the grand scale of this ship, Wonder of the Seas' kids' club was far more than just a themed room with a babysitter. My little one loved the kids' club so much that she begged for more time there whenever we went to pick her up. I'm a fan of cruises now — and I think the bigger the ship, the betterI loved how many activities the cruise ship had to offer.

☆ Only 32% of young people say they have more than 5 close friends: It's the No. 1 reason they're unhappy, therapist says

In this year's World Happiness Report, which ranks 143 countries across measures of life satisfaction, the United States came in at No. This is the first time in the report's 20-year history the U.S. has not ranked in the top 20. 10 for happiness, those younger than 30 ranked 62nd. Experts say a wide range of factors could be affecting today's youth including social media use, climate change, and lack of class fluidity. Perel believes young Americans' emphasis on being their most authentic selves comes at the expense of forming connections.

☆ This is the worst piece of relationship advice, says therapist Esther Perel

It is also one of the worst pieces of relationship advice, according to renowned psychotherapist Esther Perel. But tension is actually a sign of a potentially healthy partnership. "Therapy speak of a certain kind has the word 'self' in front of everything — self-awareness, self-realization, self-fulfillment, self-care, self-image," Perel says. A prerequisite for being able to grow into the type of person who can have healthy, high-quality relationships is being able to understand yourself. Lisa Marie Bobby Relationships Therapist

☆ Jessica Fern's 'Polysecure' promised a world beyond monogamy. She didn't say it would be easy.

The psychotherapist's 2020 book, "Polysecure," has become the poly bible for an increasingly queer and fluid generation. As consensual nonmonogamy went mainstream, searches for Fern's "Polysecure" spiked. "I've heard authors joke they get a cup of coffee from their book," Fern said. When Jessica Fern and Dave Cooley opened up their relationship, Cooley was surprised at the "searing anguish" he felt about his wife seeing other men. Fern, Cooley, and Fern's partner bought the property together and settled in, planning to live there long term.

By Nov. 9, 2022, anxiety was high among the Twitter employees gathered at the company’s San Francisco headquarters. They had spent part of that morning trying to gently explain to their new boss, Elon Musk, that the service they had just launched was dangerous. With Mr. Musk out of earshot, the welcoming, deferential mood in the room immediately changed. The employees knew that users relied on the verified check marks to ensure that information on the platform — including bus times or hurricane evacuation orders or a pop star’s musings — was indeed real. “Somebody could die, actually,” he said.
