More than 1.5 million people suffer traumatic brain injury tbi counsel in southern California every year. Traumatic injury to the brain occurs in one of two ways. First, the cerebral cortex can be bruised as the result of a hard object striking the head, or when the head strikes a hard object. This is sometimes called a contusion or concussion. Second, the deep white matter in a person’s brain can suffer diffuse injury as the result of an injury to another part of the body, where the force of the shock is transferred to the brain. In these types of injuries, such as in severe whiplash injuries, the axons or neurons, which conduct electrical impulses in the brain, are damaged.
Figures just released by the Office of National Statistics claim that the number of households living in fuel poverty has declined by 0.7million ( see data here ). The government say that less than 5 million households live in fuel poverty, while Uswitch claim that 6.3 million households live in fuel poverty. Uswitch's figure is much more reliable as their's summer 2011 price hikes. We say a family is in fuel poverty when it spends 10% of household income on its dual energy costs of heating the home and operating cooking and electrical appliances. However, as USwitch explain the governments figures are appallingly out of state ( here ). The publication today by the government only examines fuel costs up to the end of 2010. The Office of National Statistics does admit that if it factored in housing costs then 3 million more households could be described as living in fuel poverty, it also admits that 72% of English households faced a high risk of fuel poverty at year end (2010)....
