The body of Sister Wilhelmina Lancaster was exhumed to be moved to its final resting place in a monastery chapel, four years after her death in 2019. When the coffin was opened, inmates of the monastery were stunned to find that Lancaster’s body was intact with almost no signs of decay, despite the fact that the body was buried in a cracked wooden coffin that exposed her corpse to moisture and debris.

Tetanus is an infectious condition triggered by the bacterium Clostridium tetani. When this bacterium infiltrates the body, it releases a toxin leading to severe muscle spasms. Commonly known as “lockjaw,” tetanus often results in the stiffening of neck and jaw muscles, making it difficult to open the mouth or swallow. More than two centuries ago, people mistakenly believed tetanus to be a form of demonic possession due to the abrupt muscle contractions and rigidity experienced by those affected. Nowadays, it's understood that tetanus is a bacterial infection impacting the nervous system. The distinctive posture associated with this disease is termed opisthotonos.

@PierrePoilievre How about some real information. How many single occupant boomers are refusing to downsize? They are over 7 million Canadians in this age bracket. Young families need their homes.

@Rainmaker1973 Something else the Japanese do for wood. Pay top dollar for Pacific Northwest clear cedar. As locals in the Pacific NW we only get what's left over at home Depot. and it's illegal for the public to harvest it.

How Japanese have produced wood for 700 years, without cutting down trees. Daisugi is an ancient Japanese forestry technique developed in the 14th century originally used by people living in the Kitayama region, because the territory was extremely poor in saplings. They planted cedars pruned in a special way to produce shoots that eventually would become perfect, straight, knot-free lumbers. The shoots are gently pruned by hand every two years leaving only the top boughs, allowing them to grow straight. Harvesting takes 20 years and old 'tree stock' can grow up to a hundred shoots at a time. There was actually another reason why the technique was developed: fashion. In the 14th century, a linear, stylized form of architecture known as sukiya-zukuri (数寄屋造り) became popular, and every prominent samurai or nobleman wanted a house built in this way. There were simply not enough raw materials available to keep up with demand, so daisugi was developed to produce more wood in a shorter time. The wood produced with this technique has also impressive qualities: it's 140% more flexible than standard cedar and 200% denser and stronger. And, it's extremely durable.

Ontario is in the process of shifting the cost burden of trash away from municipalities and onto companies that make and sell products that generate waste. Companies are seeing their blue box fees shoot upward exponentially. cbc.ca/1.7168813 cbc.ca/1.7168813
