1906 London local elections
Local government elections took place in London on 1 November 1906.

All council seats in all 28 metropolitan boroughs were up for election.

The results were a landslide victory for the Conservatives, who stood as Municipal Reformers.

The Municipal Reformers won 22 boroughs. This compared to three for the Liberals, who stood as Progressives, two for Independents and the nascent Labour Party losing its only borough, Woolwich.

Shark meat

The largest consumer of shark meat in the World is Brazil, but it is also consumed regularly in Iceland, Japan, Australia, parts of India, parts of Canada, the United States, Sri Lanka, areas of Africa, Mexico and Yemen.

Sharks have been eaten at least since the Late Bronze Age (1550–1130 BC), for example in the Levant.

Salting (food)
Salting is the preservation of food with dry edible salt. It is related to pickling in general and more specifically to brining, also known as fermenting (preparing food with brine, that is, salty water), and is one form of curing. It is one of the oldest methods of preserving food, and two historically significant salt-cured foods are salted fish (usually dried and salted cod or salted herring) and salt-cured meat (such as bacon).  Vegetables such as runner beans and cabbage are also often preserved in this manner.

Salting is used because most bacteria, fungi and other potentially pathogenic organisms cannot survive in a highly salty environment, due to the hypertonic nature of salt.  Any living cell in such an environment will become dehydrated through osmosis and die or become temporarily inactivated. Fine grained salts were more expensive but also absorbed moisture faster than coarse salt.
