It helps that thioredoxin maintains stability in very high temperatures better than many other proteins. This would have been essential, since Earth was a molten-hot and very acidic place four billion years ago. The first life forms developed in a comparatively very hot environment.

I remember the teenage anxiety of walking across the floor of a gym to ask a girl to dance in front of all of my friends and hers, my fate in her hands.

Guess her parents thought if she doesn't know she wont do it.

@ Gordon2352, I think Americans as a whole understand the reality of their economic situation.

The voters who sought compassion in their president supported Barack Obama by an overwhelming margin. The president's advantage on empathy was so big that it overwhelmed the support that Mitt Romney had on the other three personality dimensions.

We would need a larger, represetative sample of local authorities to be able to compare the number of families affected to the number of available properties in their area, and would want to factor in Housing Association stock as well as those provided by the council itself. While the data as it is certainly suggests there's a disparity in the number who might wish to move as a consequence of the policy and the number of available properties, it might be overstating the case to say that 96% would miss out.
