Jared Kofsky/ABC News (NEW YORK) -- In Platte County, Missouri, the signs of growth are on almost every corner, with new apartment buildings and shopping centers becoming a common sight. Yet signs for affordable housing remain few and far between. "There's still this perception that Platte County is a rich community and that there's no poverty in Platte County, which couldn't be further from the truth," said Becky Poitras of the Metro Lutheran Ministry. Over the last decade, typical rents in Platte have risen 30 percent, pricing out residents whose income hasn't kept up, according to an ABC News analysis of U.

In case you haven't heard, Greta Gerwig's take on 'Barbie' arrives in movie theaters on Friday, July 21, starring none other than Margot Robbie as the world-famous blonde doll and Ryan Gosling as her beau Ken. The film - which also features Galway girl Nicola Coughlan - has been on a hot pink marketing blitz in the past weeks which got us thinking about all the 'Irish' Barbie dolls. For better or for worse, there have been a few! Most if not all of Mattel's Irish takes on its classic Barbie doll have been discontinued, but faithful collectors can often find them on resell sites like eBay.

New University of Arizona Health Sciences research recently published in the journal PAIN found that nearly 1 in 20 adults in the U.S. experience the co-occurrence of chronic pain and anxiety or depression, resulting in functional limitations in daily life. Prior research has shown that chronic pain along with symptoms of anxiety or depression are biologically linked. This study is one of the few to examine the national prevalence of chronic pain with anxiety or depression symptoms in adults.

Tariff is a double-edged sword. It can either help or harm. This must be kept in mind as the Tariff Commission (TC) undertakes the review and reform of our tariff structure. Very often, the TC recommends changes upon the request of specific sectors. It is fitting that the TC is currently taking a holistic view of the entire structure. With a systems approach and its linkages, a strategic and rationalized approach can hopefully be implemented. Today, some input tariffs are even higher than the product output.

Researchers from The University of Manchester and the University of Warwick finally solved the long-standing puzzle of why graphene is so much more permeable to protons than expected by theory. A decade ago, scientists at The University of Manchester demonstrated that graphene is permeable to protons, nuclei of hydrogen atoms. The unexpected result started a debate in the community because theory predicted that it would take billions of years for a proton to permeate through graphene's dense crystalline structure.

Butthole Surfers' home and recording studio in Driftwood (Courtesy of eXp Realty) Die Spitz touched down at their sweaty, squirming homestead of Hotel Vegas last Friday with one message: "The boys are back in town." Returning from their first tour (ever!) with L.A. hardcore supergroup OFF!, the spitfire quartet still had hell to give during their 1am set. The Spitzers didn't just cycle through hits from The Revenge of Evangeline and Teeth , they demolished them, summoning a roof-punching, crowdsurfing, neck-breaking whirlwind with seething snarls and sludgy guitar riffs.
