(TRENTON) – Legislation designed to create a housing market that is equitable and accessible to all New Jersey residents cleared the New Jersey General Assembly today. The bills are part of the Assembly Democrats’ ongoing efforts to address housing affordability and decrease the housing shortage statewide. “Every New Jersey resident deserves a place to call their own – whether that’s buying a home or renting an apartment – at a price they can afford,” said Assemblywoman Yvonne Lopez (D-Middlesex), Chair of the Assembly Housing Committee. “Housing policy isn’t just about buildings – it’s about dignity, access, and stability. That’s why we took steps today to improve how we develop, regulate, and expand housing across the state.” Assemblywoman Lopez noted that Assembly Democrats advanced bills today that would benefit renters, and home-seekers alike, while also spurring construction on new housing statewide.

Moving to a new home can be an exciting yet daunting experience, especially when the journey spans hundreds or even thousands of miles. Long-distance moves involve detailed planning, time management, and often, significant expense. One of the most effective ways to ease the burden is by decluttering your home before the big move. Not only does this simplify the packing process, but it also leads to considerable savings and a more organized fresh start in your new home. Cut Down on Moving Costs One of the most immediate benefits of decluttering is the potential to save money. Most long-distance movers charge based on the weight or volume of the items being transported. The more you bring, the more you pay. By reducing the number of belongings, you decrease the size and weight of your load, which directly lowers your transportation costs. This is particularly helpful if you're using shipping services...

https://www.pexels.com/de-de/foto/licht-dunkel-party-zimmer-9072216/ Iceland is known for its roaring waterfalls, black beaches, and steaming volcanoes – a country that seems otherworldly. Yet behind this rugged natural backdrop lies a highly modern society. While Iceland thrives on deeply rooted traditions, it is also one of the most digitally advanced countries in Europe. It is precisely in this tension between cultural down-to-earthness and technological change that an unusual phenomenon is developing: interest in online casinos – in a country that actually prohibits gambling. Gambling Ban and Digital Loopholes Iceland is one of the countries with particularly strict gambling laws. Officially, almost all forms of gambling are prohibited – with a few exceptions such as lotteries or charitable raffles. Online casinos, as known from other European countries, are not provided for in Icelandic law. What appears straightforward at first glance, however, leaves room for gray areas in digital practice. The law primarily applies to providers...

JoAnn Mottram (nee Zedalis), aged 74 and 364 days, passed peacefully surrounded by her family on May 19th, 2025. The daughter of the late John and Edna Zedalis, JoAnn grew up in Gibbstown, NJ. As a hairdresser in her early twenties, she had a chance appointment with a young college student who was home on summer vacation. This led to a 50-year marriage to Gloucester-native George Mottram. A longtime resident of Gloucester City, JoAnn worked in the tax office at the Municipal building. She was filled with love and always made anyone who met her feel special even when simply talking on the phone. JoAnn was also an inspiration to many. After surviving a life-threatening brain aneurysm in 1992, she proved just how resilient she was by re-learning to walk and talk again, and in short time, she returned to her witty self. She was quick to crack a joke...
