We all know exercise is good for us, but when times are tough, a fitness membership is often out of the question. Now, new research from the University of South Australia aims to boost community use of outdoor fitness equipment in a move to increase community activity and wellbeing. Funded by Wellbeing SA *, researchers audited outdoor fitness equipment in 34 out of 46** South Australian council areas and identified factors that might motivate or deter people from using them. Physically inspecting and undertaking a comprehensive review of 169 of 202 sites­­ (84% of identified sites) researchers found that 72% were in good condition, 70% featured soft-fall foam under the equipment, 72% had seating, and 82% were next to playgrounds.

A form of gene therapy currently used to treat Parkinson's disease may dramatically reduce alcohol use among chronic heavy drinkers, researchers at Oregon Health & Science University and institutions across the country have found. The study in nonhuman primates showed that implanting a specific type of molecule that induces cell growth effectively resets the brain's dopamine reward pathway in animals predisposed to heavy drinking. The gene therapy procedure involves brain surgery, and may be useful in the most severe cases of alcohol use disorder.

The school tax part evolved differently across regions. Let's start with the North. In the early 1800s, local taxes were minimal, if they existed at all. It's not really a road-building era and a police force is one sheriff. So you don't have a lot of costs. It really is the creation of a system of public schools that requires local taxes. And no one likes taxes, particularly people who have never paid them. So, part of what the states are doing is trying to find the path of least resistance for imposing taxes.
