Annisquam River Commuter Rail Bridge

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Good Afternoon Joey

The Senator thought you would be interested to know that the T has decided to keep moving forward with the Annisquam River Commuter Rail Bridge project.  He went to the MBTA’s Fiscal Management and Control Board meeting this morning to push for action on the project.  The T board has decided to  commit to the project by selecting one winning bid from five entries.

The J.F. White Contracting Company was awarded the contract set at $56.6 million. I will have more details soon.

All the best-

GAAC is a week later than usual this month! The Oct 20 meeting, 8:00 pm at the Lanesville Community Center, will be well-worth the wait, with Dr. Bill Waller and a presentation titled “Surfing the Galactic Froth.”

This is pretty cool. As it turns out, space is not so empty after all, but instead is shot through with frothy stuff.

According to Dr. Waller, this phenomenon arises mostly from microscopic grains of dust, irradiated and warmed by stars within our Galaxy’s disk, and concentrated in nebular regions of recent star formation and subsequent stellar death.

There’s a lot we can learn from these complex emissions, which provide a record of processes that have structured and powered supposedly empty interstellar space for the past 100 million years.

Ayurveda Wellness Healing, LLC's avatarCape Ann Wellness

In Ayurveda, the secret of the grapefruit lies in its powerful flavors, sour and bitter. These cleansing tastes stimulate the flow of bile, diluting and flushing it out of the gallbladder and into the small intestine. Stagnant bile tends to collect and thicken in the gall bladder, where the liver stores the bile after producing it, forming problematic sludge and stones. The sludge inhibits the drainage of bile, congesting the liver. Sour and bitter flavors encourage the bile to move and flush toxins out of the liver to the relief of your newly cleansed liver cells.

*Grapefruits are contraindicated for high blood pressure or when using anti-depressants. If you take thyroid medication, please check with your doctor before adding grapefruit to your diet.
