Union of South Africa Created (1910)
In 1910, the British colonies of Cape Colony, Transvaal, Natal, and Orange River were unified into the new Union of South Africa. Under the Union’s constitution, power was centralized. Elections were held, and Louis Botha became the first prime minister. The Dutch language was given equal status with English, and each province retained its existing franchise qualifications.

It depicts a wealthy merchant, long thought to be Giovanni Arnolfini, and his wife. The incredible detail, realism, and use of light make this work remarkable, but it also stands out for the debate that it has inspired over the symbolism of certain elements, including the one lit candle in the chandelier, van Eyck’s unusually placed signature, and what else?

New Study Challenges Wisdom of Low-Salt Diets
For years, health officials have warned that eating too much sodium can raise blood pressure to unsafe levels and increase the risk of heart attack or stroke, however, the results of a new study seem to suggest that, for some, the opposite may be true. The eight-year study, which followed 3,681 healthy European men and women age 60 or younger, found that those who consumed the least salt had a 56 percent higher risk of death from a heart attack or stroke compared with those who had the highest
