[ [ "When the first helicopter descended on this city 10 days ago, bringing food and water to people reeling from loss and hunger, children waved their arms skyward. Adults screamed in desperation and joy. Some cried tears of relief.\nBut Saturday, as helicopters traversed the sky in steady procession, hardly anyone even raised their eyes from the ground. Most here had grown accustomed to the aid coming in steadily. Many had also grown used to not getting much of it.\n\"The distribution is no good,\" said <PERSON>, a mother of two, whose house in the village of Ujung Baru is now an island of scattered bricks stuck in the center of a marsh that formed the graveyard for many of her neighbors. \"I've heard that everything has come here now, but I haven't gotten anything.\"\nTwo weeks after a massive earthquake and subsequent tsunami devastated coastal communities around the Indian Ocean, killing as many as 35,000 people in this city alone, the situation on the Indonesian island of Sumatra illustrates both the concrete achievements of the relief effort, and the growing sense among survivors that food, water and medicine are not reaching everyone in equal quantities.\nIt is a dynamic that may ultimately determine the fate of tens of thousands of people. In the Indonesian province of Aceh, the center of the disaster, about 800,000 people are expected to depend on aid for the next three to 12 months, said the U.N. official overseeing the relief effort in Indonesia, <PERSON>.\nOn Saturday, helicopters flown by U.S., Singaporean and Indonesian military crews brought fresh loads of relief to a town in which more than 30,000 people are thought to be homeless. They added to stockpiles now feeding people in 29 refugee camps throughout the city's environs, along with others in communities along Sumatra's west coast, the closest land to the epicenter of the giant quake.\nAid officials announced plans to feed as many as 2 million survivors each day for the next six months, focusing particularly on young children, pregnant women and nursing mothers, The Associated Press reported.\nYet people relying upon that aid complained that relief goods are scarce. Much of the relief is being brought to settlements controlled by the Indonesian military.\n\"The military has ordered that all the aid dropped by the helicopters be taken to their base,\" said <PERSON>, 46, a retired police officer whose house in Ujung Baru was destroyed by the water. He accused the soldiers of keeping too much. \"We have to stand in line for two hours to get two packs of instant noodles. There is some rice, but some get it and some don't.\"\nIn an interview at an Indonesian Army base in Meulaboh, Col. <PERSON>, commander of the relief mission for western Aceh, denied such accusations. \"There is no problem,\" he said.\n<PERSON> said six Indonesian helicopters are now bringing food, water and medicine to places beyond the remaining road network. Two Indonesian Navy ships based in the city of Calang ferry goods to smaller settlements nearby.\nOn Saturday, Indonesian marines attempted to use catamarans to bring aid from Calang to Panga, where more than 2,000 people were homeless, <PERSON> said.", "0" ], [ "The Federal Communications Commission has agreed to approve the merger of two of the most prominent brand names in the telecommunications world, Bell Atlantic Corp. and GTE Corp., creating the largest local telephone company in the nation, knowledgeable sources said Wednesday night.\nFour of the five commissioners had committed to the deal Wednesday, nearly two years after it was announced. Officials hope to announce the approval, with conditions, as early as today, the sources said.\nThe merger will unleash a genuine telecommunications colossus upon a rapidly consolidating market, twinning Bell Atlantic's local telephone dominance in the Northeastern and mid-Atlantic states with GTE's local systems scattered throughout the country.\nThe new company will be known as Verizon Communications, as the Bell Atlantic label disappears.\nAnalysts expect the new giant to intensify an industry drive toward selling complete packages of communications offerings, from long-distance and local telephone service to wireless and high-speed Internet service.\nMany of those services are rapidly becoming commodities, available at uniform prices from any number of providers. Verizon is expected to expand into new areas such as video entertainment and interactive gaming, leveraging its direct routes into millions of homes and businesses.\n\"They certainly control a huge, huge area,\" said <PERSON>, an analyst with the Yankee Group in Boston. \"They have the direct pipe to the consumer, and they can really control the customers. It's just a huge opportunity in terms of selling bundled services. The possibilities are endless.\"\nIn this age of relentless blockbuster mergers, the importance of scale itself somehow seems diminished. But Verizon will be enormous by any measure, controlling 63 million local phone lines into homes and businesses -- roughly a third of all U.S. lines.\nIt also will add GTE's roughly 4 million wireless phone customers to Verizon Wireless, the venture Bell Atlantic formed last year with Vodafone AirTouch PLC to become the largest wireless operation in the nation. The merger will bring Verizon up to 25 million wireless customers -- more than twice as many as second-place AT&T; Corp.\nCompany officials say the merged firm will have a market worth of almost $150 billion and revenue of $60 billion a year. It will employ 260,000 people.\nThe FCC is expected to portray the deal as a significant boost to local telephone choice. FCC officials are hoping Verizon will expand beyond GTE's core local franchises in areas outside of Bell Atlantic territory, taking the local residential battle to other regional powers such as BellSouth Corp. and SBC Communications Inc.", "1" ] ]

In 2014, two years after being separated from the male sharks, both <PERSON> and <PERSON> laid eggs.\n<PERSON> is a biologist with the University of Queensland who has been working in collaboration with the Reef HQ aquarium for several years. She published a report on Leonie's unusual display of sexual behavior in Scientific Reports earlier this week.\n<PERSON> pointed out that sharks simply laying eggs without a male present is not unusual. \"It's much like a chicken -- they lay eggs whether they are fertilized or not, if the conditions are good,\" she told CNN.\nStaff at the aquarium noticed that some of <PERSON>'s eggs contained embryos and attempted to incubate them out of curiosity, although none hatched.\nThe next year, <PERSON> and <PERSON> both laid eggs. This time, three of Leonie's eggs and two of Lolly's eggs emerged into live hatchlings.\n\"There were two possible explanations for Leonie's eggs hatching,\" said <PERSON>. \"One was sperm storage, which has been documented in several occasions. Sharks have been known to store sperm from male sharks for extended periods of time.\"\n\"The other was parthenogenesis [asexual reproduction]. This has been seen in a handful of sharks, but none that had mated previously.\"\nGenetic analysis of Leonie's hatchlings displayed elevated homozygosity, meaning more genes are identical, and less diversity pointing to the likelihood that they had been produced asexually, rather than sexually through sperm storage.\n\"It was definitely a surprise,\" said <PERSON>, a senior aquarist with Reef HQ. \"She had been mating successfully for several years, and there was nothing much published about such large animals switching reproductive strategy so quickly.\"\nThere are several theories surrounding Leonie's sudden unusual behavior. \"One theory is that in the wild, if for some reason males can't have contact with the females for one breeding season, they can keep their lineage going for one or two seasons [through asexual reproduction], until they can reproduce the traditional way,\" said <PERSON>.\n\"[But] the genetic diversity of animals gets greatly reduced using this reproductive method,\" said <PERSON>. \"Long term, they need to diversify to help them adapt to their environment.\"\nEndangered species\nZebra sharks, also known as leopard sharks, were once a widespread species resident in tropical waters around the globe, but have recently been highlighted as an endangered species by the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.\n\"These sharks are an apex predator, so they are like the proverbial canary down the mineshaft -- they are a poignant indicator of the quality of the environment in general,\" said <PERSON>, who is grateful that <PERSON>'s case is attracting increased attention to the plight of the species. \"The news that they are endangered was horrific news for biologists all over the world,\" he added. \"It's a real concern.\"\n<PERSON> and her team are now waiting for <PERSON>'s offspring to reach sexual maturity before taking the next step in their research.\n\"We are keeping an eye on them, and ultimately we want to find out if her offspring can reproduce sexually,\" she said, as such an occurrence would be unusual.\n\"They mature around seven years of age. Unfortunately they'll be more prone to problems due to the reduction in the diversity of their genetic makeup, but if they survive to that point, I know myself and other researchers are interested in finding out more. Nobody has previously demonstrated successful sexual reproduction for offspring produced through facultative parthenogenesis.\"\nSo, offspring produced asexually have not yet been seen to create their own offspring sexually.\nBut the million dollar question for all concerned males: are the guys really obsolete? \"Maybe in the short term the female (sharks) can do without males, but in the long term we need males again eventually,\" <PERSON> said. \"We still need to keep them within arm's reach.\"\nAlertMe", "0" ] ]

The cap covers much of the Andes mountains and feeds 47 large glaciers. Google explained: “The park’s northern boundary is a cluster of soaring, sharp-toothed peaks, including the forbidding Mt. Fitz Roy. “Dominating the southern stretch is the awe-inspiring Perito Moreno Glacier, a towering wall of ice grinding a path through the Patagonian Andes.\n“Its terminus, where the glacier flows into Argentina’s largest freshwater lake, is 5 km wide at an average height of 74 m above the lake’s surface.” Temperatures in the park range from 0.6C in winter to 13.4C in summer. At higher altitudes, the mean annual temperature can be a bitter -3C. To visit, fly to Buenos Aires and catch a bus from Route 40. Entrance costs around £16 with trips to see the glaciers around £21. The park itself can be divided into two parts, one for each of the two large lakes that are partially contained within Los Glaciares – Lake Argentino and Lake Viedma.

[ [ "THE scale of abuse at a notorious youth residential school in Florida has been laid bare with the release of a report by investigators who say they have evidence of almost 100 deaths at the institution. Investigators say they believe more graves are yet to be uncovered at the Arthur G Dozier School for Boys in Marianna, which closed a year ago following revelations of the widespread physical and sexual abuse of youths sent there since early last century. It means the enormity of the outrage, in which survivors have told gruesome stories of regular beatings, rapes and even murders by staff members, is much greater than reported by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement in 2010, when the agency announced the presence of 31 grave sites.\n“We found nearly twice as many burials as were thought to exist, but many of them had been lost in the woods under brush and trees,” said professor <PERSON>, head of a team of anthropologists and archaeologists from Tampa’s University of South Florida called on to look into deaths at the reform school from 1900 to 1960.\n“The cause and manner of death for the majority of cases are unknown. Where causes could be documented, the most common were infectious disease, fires, physical trauma and drowning.”\nMany of the victims were young black males sent to the harsh reform school for often minor infractions such as truancy or “incorrigibility”. <PERSON>’s team also studied what little historical documentation and burial records survived and found that deaths commonly followed escape attempts or occurred within three months of a new “inmate” arriving there.\n“No understanding of the Florida State Reform School over the course of its history can be understood without consideration of the impact and implications of segregation, particularly those relating to criminal justice,” she said.\nOf the 98 deaths they confirmed, two were adult staff members and the rest children aged from six to 18.\nDespite the growing scale of the scandal, and graphic recent accounts of life at the school from those who once attended, no charges are expected. Teachers who worked there are mostly long dead, and the FDLE announced two years ago that it was unable to substantiate claims that deaths were caused by school staff or that any staff members abused boys.\nThe university’s report, however, will now be submitted to state authorities for review and possible further investigation. The team will continue to work at the site, having won permission from Department of Environmental Protection to investigate the historic land.\nSurvivors call themselves the “White House Boys” after a small white building in the 560-hectare (1,383-acre) site where children as young as five were chained to walls or tied to a bed and beaten. “There’s just too many stories,” one survivor, Roger Kiser, said in an interview with NPR earlier this year.\n“I know of one that I personally saw die in the bathtub that had been beaten half to death.... There was the boy I saw who was dead who came out of the dryer. They put him in one of those large dryers.”\n<PERSON>, 67, told NPR that some of his classmates in the 1950s and 60s had committed no crimes. “A lot of orphans were there that did not have places at times, and they were sent to Marianna,” he said.\nDozens more who went to school have come forward with similar tales of murder, torture and brutality but no criminal case has ever been made, and a Leon County judge dismissed a civil class-action lawsuit against the state on behalf of the victims in 2010 because the statute of limitations had expired. — The Guardian, London", "0" ], [ "An Iraqi Kurdish peshmerga soldier stands on a tank, flying the Kurdish flag, stationed 20 kilometres north of Kirkuk.—AFP Photo\nARBIL: Iraq's Kurdish region has sent reinforcements to a disputed area where its troops are involved in a standoff with the Iraqi army, a senior Kurdish military official said, despite calls on both sides for dialogue to calm the situation.\nThe second military build-up this year illustrates how far relations between Baghdad's central government, led by Shia Muslim Arabs, and ethnic Kurds have deteriorated, testing Iraq's federal cohesion nearly a year after US troops left.\nBaghdad and Iraq's autonomous Kurdistan region earlier this week began sending troops to an area over which they both claim jurisdiction, raising tensions in a long-running feud over land and oil rights.\nMore Kurdish troops and tanks were mobilised on Saturday and headed towards the disputed areas, the deputy minister for Kurdish military affairs said late on Saturday, adding that they would hold their positions unless Iraqi forces made a move.\n“If they overstep the line, we will strike them,” <PERSON> said.\nThe Iraqi army and Kurdish troops have previously come close to confrontation only to pull back at the last moment, flexing their muscles but lacking any real appetite for a fight.\nIraq's speaker of parliament, who visited Kurdish President <PERSON> on Friday, said “significant progress”, had been made towards defusing the standoff and that a meeting between military leaders from both sides would be held on Monday in the Defence Ministry in Baghdad.\nWashington intervened to end a similar standoff in August and is again in contact with Iraqi and Kurdish officials to ease tension mounting over the formation of a new command centre for Iraqi forces to operate in the disputed areas.\nKurds say the Dijla Operations Command is a threat to them and an attempt by Prime Minister <PERSON> to seize control over the oil rich territories along the internal border that demarcates the Kurdish region from the rest of Iraq.\n<PERSON> says the Dijla Operations Command is necessary to keep order in one of the most volatile parts of the country.\n<PERSON> on Saturday turned down an invitation from Shia cleric and lawmaker <PERSON> to meet with <PERSON> to discuss the situation.\nIn a statement posted on the Kurdistan regional government's website, <PERSON>'s spokesman said he had refused because the matter was not personal, but rather a result of <PERSON>'s “constant non-commitment to the constitution”.\nThe latest flare-up began one week ago when Iraqi troops went after a fuel smuggler who had taken refuge in the office of a Kurdish political party in Tuz Khurmato, 170 km north of the capital, sparking a clash with Kurdish Peshmerga fighters in which one passerby was killed.\n<PERSON> has sparred more aggressively with <PERSON> since the withdrawal last year of US troops who had served as a buffer between the federal Baghdad government and Kurdistan.", "1" ] ]

Syria recaptured it on Oct. 6, 1973, the first day of the Yom Kippur War. Israel took it back two weeks later and has held it since.\nMount Hermon reaches 9232 feet, but its peak is actually located on the border between Lebanon and Syria. The Hermon Ski Resort is in Israel's Golan Heights.\nWhy It's Unique:\nAs you drive up to it through the Golan Heights, you pass blocked-off mine fields. The mountain is dubbed the Eyes of the Nation for the view it gives deep into Syria. The Israeli Defense Forces maintain an observation post there, patrolled by the specially trained Alpine Unit. The military base is visible from the ski area, and certain sections of the mountain are restricted to IDF use.\nSkiing at Hermon offers an unusual link to the Judeo-Christian tradition. In the Bible it is referred to as Ba'al Hermon, Sion, Sirion and Senir.

It was ruled by an Egyptian viceroy between 2000 and 1000BC when it became an independent kingdom. Kushite noblemen would travel to Egypt adopting Egyptian customs and clothing and they were heavily influenced by Egyptian art, archtecture and religion.\nIn the 8th century BC, Kushite kings ruled as Pharaohs in Egypt following an invasion by king <PERSON> (\"the Kushite\"). They were expelled by <PERSON> in 656 BC. The capital of Kush - Napata - was located on a key trading route with Egypt located on subsidiaries of the nile Kusites traded ivory, animal skins and timbe with Egypt and later iron and gold.\nGraves were discovered beside the pyramids in tomb chambers which were often found to have held more than one body.\nSadly these graves had all been plundered, possibly many hundreds of years ago, howver the archaeologists did find skeletal remains and some artifacts.\nThe archaelogical team believes building of pyramids at Sedeinga continued for centuries and was strongly influenced by Egyptian funerary architecture.\n<PERSON>, a research associate with the American Museum of Natural History in New York, told LiveScience: 'The density of the pyramids is huge./\n'Because it lasted for hundreds of years they built more, more, more pyramids and after centuries they started to fill all the spaces that were still available in the necropolis.\n'They reached a point where it was so filled with people and graves that they had to reuse the oldest one.'\nSome of the pyramids were found to have been built with cross-braces connecting the corners to an inner circle. Interestigly only one pyramid outside of Sedeinga is known to have been built in this way.\nMr <PERSON> believes that when pyramid building came into fashion at Sedeinga it could have been combined with a local circle-building tradition called tumulus construction, resulting in pyramids with circles within them.\nHe added: 'What we found this year is very intriguing. A grave of a child and it was covered by only a kind of circle, almost complete, of brick.'\nA copper alloy bowl was found in the tomb holding this skeleton (left).Sedeinga, in Sudan, sits near the River Nile which flows up into Egypt (right)\nExcavation: The tops of some of the pyramids are exposed during digging at the Sedeinga site\nOne tomb held over 1,500 beads as well as Nile spiral shells which appeared to to be the remains of one or more necklaces.

I’ve changed whatever I had to.\" As Veena glared a warning against spilling secrets, she giggled that she had made Veena give up gutka. “I told her I wouldn’t live with her if she chewed gutka. She listened to me. We’re friends. We’ve been friends always. I’m alive today because of Veena,\" she said.\nTo them it had seemed like the most natural choice. Growing up together in Khekada village in Baghpat, the women have been friends for as long as they can remember. “Our families were very close. We practically grew up in each other’s homes. We were playmates and grew up to be our closest confidantes,\" says Savita. The families drifted apart somewhat after the Dhamas sold their land in Khekada last year and moved to Doghat, about 2 hours away, but the girls’ friendship continued unhindered. When Savita took up a job as a teacher in a private nursery school, it was Veena, a school dropout, who ferried her to and from the school on her Bajaj Pulsar motorcycle.\nWhen Savita was married to a UP police constable in December, it was Veena who visited her. And it was Veena who discovered that Savita was being treated brutally by her in-laws and was contemplating suicide. She informed Savita’s family, and despite their initial objections, convinced them to intervene. Savita denies that her relationship with Veena affected her marriage. “We did not have any ‘relationship’. I was happy and excited when my marriage was planned. Veena too was happy for me. Every girl dreams of marrying, so did I,\" she says.\nThe dream soured when her husband, mother-in-law and sister-in-law started abusing her. “He was a policeman, and he knew I would not dare to go to the police against him,\" she adds. However, with Veena’s support she complained to the local panchayat, which dissolved the marriage in May. Savita returned with Veena to her parents.\nWithin a month, matters worsened. Savita’s maternal uncle tried to get her married again, alleges Veena. Savita swore she would kill herself if forced. Veena stepped in to save her once more and proposed she move in with her at her family home. “Her family was trying to get her married again and she was threatening to commit suicide. She had tried that once before. I was afraid she would succeed the next time,\" says Veena.\nFor 22-year-old Veena, the youngest of six siblings, who has always been treated as a son by her parents and has shouldered the family’s responsibilities since the death of her elder brother more than three years ago, convincing her parents wasn’t difficult. “They had no objection to our staying together.

Bhatnagar, who was also consulted by the women.\nEven as some reports in the media hailed the order and went to town saying the court had married them, the gay community remains sceptical.

The Delhi high court verdict of July 2009 read down Section 377, which criminalized same-sex relationships. As far as LGBT rights go, that was the big step forward.

He adds that the women only cited marriage as the reason they were being threatened, but did not move the court to validate their marriage.

Think of it as cleansing the palate: The rover took in soil, shook it inside CHIMIRA, and spit it back out—removing any Earthly traces that could contaminate future soil samples.\nWith CHIMRA clean, yesterday Curiosity moved some Martian dirt into its Chemistry and Mineralogy (CheMin) instrument for analysis. <PERSON>, Mars Science Laboratory project scientist, said in today's conference that researchers should have data on the Martain soil within the next few weeks. \"Soils could be, potentially, a kind of habitable environment,\" <PERSON> said. \"So we want to try and dig into them and understand what their structure is.\"\nHere and there, however, Curiosity might spy unexpected sights that divert it from its primary science mission, and such was the case during this Martian dirt excavation. While digging, researchers found some startlingly bright pebbles in the hole left by the rover's scoop. The bright spots resembled the bits of debris Curiosity had spotted earlier this month that most likely came from the rover itself, so the researchers at first thought this new sight was related.\nBut they weren't sure, and, not wanting to contaminate science equipment, the team dumped out the sample and put the entire operation on hold until they could determine the origin of these peculiar rocks. \"The most important thing about our mobile laboratory is that it eats dirt,\" <PERSON> said. \"That's what we live on.\"\nAfter consulting with the engineering team, <PERSON> and his science team determined that the newly seen bright flecks in the soil were not manmade, and were actually native to the soil. The team will be analyzing these anomalous rocks in the coming weeks with the rover's Chemistry & Camera instrument, and <PERSON> says the science team has two solid explanations for their appearance. The first is that they're freshly broken rocks reflecting the sunlight, thus making them seem brighter than normal. The second is that these are minerals created from the soil-forming process. \"In either case, we'd very much like to study this.\"", "0" ], [ "© 2013 U.S. Postal Service\nOn the fence about the United States Postal Service's new line of muscle car stamps?

[ [ "With all the salad greens and lettuces springing up in food stores today, there's no excuse for a boring salad.\nBring home those funky greens that restaurant chefs have been wowing diners with for years.\nThe produce aisle can be a gorgeously confusing maze. Not all greens are green. Some are red or purple. Salad greens aren't the same as collard and turnip greens, which are meant for cooking.\nThere's a whole group of greens with fun textures and bold flavors just waiting to be tossed raw into salads.\nArugula: Arugula's attractive light to dark green fleshy leaves resemble elongated oak leaves and possess a warm peppery fragrance. Arugula delivers a distinct, rich flavor -- mildly peppery, spicy and tangy. Its flavor becomes more robust as it matures, and intensity can vary from bunch to bunch. Its snappy flavor will liven up spring mix salads, and Bibb and Boston lettuce love its zing. Pair it with extra-virgin olive oil and sweet balsamic vinegar.\nBaby Arugula: This green may be better suited to salads than regular arugula because it is more tender and less bitter. Bold in flavor for its size, baby arugula's attractive and tiny mint-green leaves offer a spicy accent. Some describe young arugula as having a subtle, nutty flavor with a radish-like edge. Combine it with a variety of colorful leaf lettuces to create an elegant salad. Or enjoy it alone with a simple garlic vinaigrette. Its delicate texture is best suited to light dressings.\nBaby Spinach: The chewy texture of this young green is deliciously crispy and coarse. It is sweeter than regular spinach with a delicate, subtle taste. The tender, small stems are edible, too. Spinach salad, traditionally made with bacon and hard-cooked eggs, has become an American classic. Omit the bacon and eggs and substitute sliced mushrooms and other vegetables for a healthier version. A favorite dressing is raspberry vinaigrette.\nBelgian Endive: Smooth and slender, Belgian endive is a baby form of endive and boasts bright white, yellow-tipped closed leaves. Easy to chew, the elegant white heads of overlapping leaves offer a rich, slightly bitter flavor. Bittersweet Belgian endive deliciously accents salads and sandwiches, but use it sparingly. Pair it with a vinegar and oil dressing.\nDandelion Greens: Dandelion greens are simply the leaves of the common yellow flower that grows wild in your yard. The greens are available at high-end supermarkets and some specialty food stores. Depending on the stage of growth, the pale green, jagged-edged leaves offer a slightly bitter flavor. The paler the leaves, the more tender the greens. Add pale crisp leaves to mixed green salads. Creamy dressings, fruity flavored vinegar or a light vinaigrette enhance the flavor.\nEscarole: Escarole, a member of the endive family, somewhat resembles a butterhead lettuce with curving and ragged chewy leaves that are broad and loose. Dark green at the top, the crisp-textured smooth leaves are paler near the stem. The inner leaves are tender. This bold and refreshing green delivers a sharp, bitter flavor.\nFrisee: A member of the endive family with curly narrow fringed leaves that actually look frizzy, frisee's light to lime-green lacy leaves offer a mildly bitter, but pleasing flavor. The delicate white centers are considered a culinary delicacy and have a less bitter taste. Chefs love its good looks. Mix with any other salad greens or serve alone with a favorite dressing drizzled on the crisp, chilled leaves. Oil-based dressing are most often used on this green.\nRadicchio: This exceptionally attractive, deep red, round vegetable resembles a small head of cabbage. Heads grow from orange to grapefruit size. Easy to peel off, the satiny crisp leaves offer a distinct bittersweet flavor. Use its pronounced flavor and splashy color to dress up mixed green salads. It goes with all types of dressings, but a vinegar and oil dressing is most commonly used.", "0" ], [ "VIROQUA, Wis. — A U.S. soldier mistakenly buried with the enemy at the close of World War II begins the final leg of his unlikely journey home Friday in a small Wisconsin town he probably never heard of, but that produced a vital link to finding and identifying his remains.\nA horse-drawn funeral hearse is scheduled to deliver the remains of Pfc. <PERSON> to a VFW Post at 1:20 p.m., at the close of a noon hour public reception, also at the post.

However, valuations for a number of companies have reached depressed levels that value these companies at significantly less than they would be worth if the insurance underwriting operations were stripped away and they effectively became leveraged investment trusts. Pricing and underwriting conditions are not nearly as bleak as the market’s view on current pricing and underwriting conditions.\nValuations have been battered for many companies in many sub-sectors, but they are perhaps most severely depressed for mid-sized multi-line insurance and reinsurance companies. This group includes ACE (NYSE: ACE ), Arch Capital Group (NASDAQ: ACGL ), Aspen Insurance Holdings (NYSE: AHL ), Allied World Assurance (NYSE: AWH ), Axis Capital Holdings (NYSE: AXS ), Endurance Specialty Holdings (NYSE: ENH ), Everest Re (NYSE: RE ), Transatlantic Holdings (NYSE: TRH ), and XL Capital (NYSE: XL ), all of which trade on the NASDAQ or New York Stock Exchange, and all trade at a discount to tangible book value ranging from 10%-30%. Even though all or almost all of these companies are undervalued, the relative valuations make sense for the most part. For example, Arch Capital Group trades at a discount of around 10% to tangible book value, but (at least in this author’s view) Arch’s reserves include perhaps the largest cushion (sometimes referred to as reserve “equity”) of any of these companies.\nThe one exception is Everest Re ( RE ). Like most of these companies, Everest Re provides property and liability insurance coverage to a wide range of businesses, and provides reinsurance coverage, which protects primary insurance companies from losses on the policies they insure. Everest Re prices and manages underwriting risk among the best in the industry, maintains very low operating expenses (a critical strength in a competitive pricing environment), and maintains an extraordinarily strong balance sheet. In the author’s view, the shares should trade at a premium to peer companies, but instead they trade at a discount.\nThe closing price of 71.78 yesterday, May 26, represents a 29.9% discount relative to book value of 102.46. Since going public in 1995, the shares have never closed a trading day at a steeper discount to book value. On a few occasions in October 2008, intraday lows for the share price dropped the ratio below 70%, but the share price rebounded during the day. Even though the credit crisis did not exert a tremendous impact on the businesses of most property-casualty insurers, their share prices have never really recovered. Everest is no exception.\nPrior to the credit crisis, the shares traded at their steepest discount to book value on October 18, 1999, when the price fell as low as $20.50, a 30.1% discount to book value (the closing price of 20.81 was a 29.1% discount). In the subsequent 15 months, the share price almost quadrupled, reaching a high of 74.75 in December of 2000. This happened despite much more challenging market conditions then vs. now, less adequate loss reserves carried on Everest’s balance sheet, and a capital position that was not nearly as strong as it is today.\nThis last point touches on a key reason that the share price has remained depressed: the company is overcapitalized. In the recent past, it might have been acceptable to “husband” capital (a description management used in one investor conference call). However, with the share price depressed and at least $1B of excess capital, management would best serve shareholder interests by at least doubling its share repurchase authorization (to at least 17 million shares) and aggressively repurchasing shares at prices below $80, unless pricing for catastrophe exposed risks tightens significantly for July 1 reinsurance renewals.\nThe company can mitigate catastrophe risk, the largest and most imminent risk to the company’s capital cushion, by reducing direct or reinsured catastrophe exposures, or by purchasing protection in the form of reinsurance or industry loss warranties (contracts that pay the buyer if industry wide losses for certain events exceed predetermined thresholds). Recent pricing for catastrophe risk has been passable at best, but not nearly attractive enough to justify $1B+ of excess capital to support the risk.\nThe table below provides some very rough income projections over the next 12 months.\nAverage invested assets $15B Investment yield 4.5% Investment income $675M Underwriting income $0 Interest and amortization expense $65M Pre-tax income $610M Effective tax rate 20% Net income $488M\nThe $488M of net income equates to $8.28 per share (8.67 times the $71.78 closing share price on May 26) assuming no underwriting income (vs. a 2% underwriting margin over the past five years, which have included two major natural catastrophes), a yield on cash and investments about the same as the past 12 months, and an effective tax rate over twice the average over the past five years. Additional share repurchases at prices near current levels would increase earnings per share.\nDespite being a largely defensive investment, Everest shares could easily double over the next year, even without more aggressive share repurchases. With relatively benign natural catastrophe losses and liability loss trends, book value per share should increase to around $120 in a year. A valuation 20% higher than book value (normal for prior to the credit crisis) would price the shares at $144.\nDisclosure: Long RE (largest position)", "1" ] ]

[ [ "The whistleblower at the centre of the Cambridge Analytica storm asks if Britain will now address the hard issues which it has raised\nIn January, I told the British authorities that the app that was used to harvest data for Cambridge Analytica was likely to have pulled the profiles of British Facebook users. Last week Facebook confirmed it: it told the world that as many as 87 million profiles were collected. This included more than one million British records.\nA couple of days later, early on Saturday, Facebook took another dramatic action: it suspended AggregateIQ. This is important because AIQ was the Canadian data firm on which Vote Leave spent 40% of its budget during the EU referendum. But as I told parliament, I helped set up AIQ to support Cambridge Analytica. I also handed over documents showing AIQ’s ties to Cambridge Analytica.\nAt every step of this story, Facebook – from which I’m still banned – has lagged behind the truth. It was only when I came forward with documents – signed contracts and invoices – that proved Cambridge Analytica had funded the harvesting of Facebook profiles that it was finally forced to own up.\nBut then, there are certain facts that are hard to hear. And in the case of AIQ, Facebook might be slow, but it’s still managed to be ahead of many in Britain. Ten days ago I spent four hours testifying to the Fake News inquiry at parliament – and several more hours in private sessions.\nFacebook has suspended AIQ while it investigates AIQ’s relationship with Cambridge Analytica and whether it had access to Facebook data. In Britain, on the other hand, <PERSON>, the former head of Vote Leave, called me a “fantasist charlatan”. <PERSON> inferred that my testimony was “hearsay”. And while the national broadcaster in my home country, Canada, has covered the subject assiduously, on the day I appeared on BBC’s Today programme, it devoted more airtime to alleged ball tampering in Australian cricket than tampering with British democracy.\nI’m disappointed, but I also understand it. It is extremely uncomfortable to consider that our democracy may have been corrupted. That potential crimes may have taken place – some of them on Facebook’s servers – that seem to be beyond the reach of law. It’s why I testified last week to parliament. It’s why I have given three binders of evidence about Vote Leave to the UK Electoral Commission and information commissioner’s office.\nThat evidence proved enough for Facebook to take action and suspend AIQ to investigate. Will Britain now take this evidence seriously?\nBecause this is not just about data. In Britain, we have strict spending limits for elections. It’s what has kept Britain from following the path of American politics, where elections are the sport of billionaires and corporate interests.\nBeyond data, there are two more issues at stake here: overspending and coordination between campaigns. The law forbids campaigns from coordinating, to forestall the potential for shell entities and overspending vehicles. In the digital age, where political campaigns use Facebook as their predominant tool, it’s difficult to enforce. And when four different campaigns – Vote Leave, BeLeave, Veterans for Britain and the DUP – all used the same data firm, AIQ, it’s pretty much impossible.\nMy intention here, is to set out the issues – and the evidence – as simply as possible.\n1 Tens of millions of Facebook profiles were harvested with the aim of assisting Cambridge Analytica’s voter-related work.\nFacebook knew in December 2015 that data had been harvested on Cambridge Analytica’s behalf. It denied this until I came forward and produced the contract that SCL Elections, CA’s parent company, signed with GSR, Dr <PERSON>’s company, for the work.\nThe number of affected Facebook users is not precisely known. Cambridge Analytica says the company licensed from GSR data on “no more than 30 million US citizens”. The Observer estimates that GSR harvested more than 50 million Facebook profiles. Facebook says: “In total, we believe the Facebook information of up to 87 million people - mostly in the US - may have been improperly shared with Cambridge Analytica.”\nContract agreement / schedule between SCL Elections and Global Science Research, June 2014\nLetter from Facebook lawyers Aug 2016 to <PERSON> asking him to delete the “unauthorised” data\n2 Canadian data firm AIQ had a relationship with Cambridge Analytica\nI gave parliament contracts and an IP licence that show a relationship between AIQ and Cambridge Analytica. Staff lists from SCL, the parent of Cambridge Analytica, name the head of AIQ, <PERSON>, as “Head of SCL Canada”.\nAIQ has made no comment in the wake of Facebook’s action but it told the Observer last week that it is not a direct part and/or the Canadian branch of Cambridge Analytica. It has not been involved in the exploitation of Facebook data. It did not secretly and unethically coordinate with Cambridge Analytica on the EU referendum. It says it is 100% Canadian owned and operated.\n3 AIQ built Cambridge Analytica’s platforms and may have had access to Facebook-derived data on its servers\nAIQ built the “Ripon” platform that Cambridge Analytica used to target people using misappropriated Facebook data. I also gave parliament an email that suggests AIQ may have had access to the data and servers of Cambridge Analytica. It published one of these.\nFacebook suspended AIQ after learning “it may be affiliated with SCL and, may, as a result have improperly received Facebook data”.\nService agreement between AIQ and Cambridge Analytica / SCL Elections, September 2014\nIntellectual property license agreement between SCL Elections and AIQ, September 2014\n4 The official Vote Leave campaign led by <PERSON> and <PERSON> spent 40% of its budget on AIQ\nThis is public record: invoices are published on the Electoral Commission’s website. <PERSON> said that “without a doubt, the Vote Leave campaign owes a great deal of its success to the work of AggregateIQ. We couldn’t have done it without them”. (See the document on pages 56-59 of this cache published by House of Commons select committee.)\nScreengrab taken from AIQ homepage. After contact from the Observer, it disappeared Photograph: AggregateIQ\n5 Vote Leave paid an additional £625,000 directly to AIQ on behalf of BeLeave\nThis was the largest single donation that Vote Leave made during the referendum. Donating to another campaign is perfectly legal – but only if the other campaign is actually separate. But if Vote Leave spent this sum of money in a coordinated way with BeLeave, it would have breached the legal spending limit. This is why its relationship with BeLeave is important. Vote Leave has repeatedly denied the coordination between the campaigns and said the donation was legitimate pursuant to electoral law. When the commission first looked at this in March 2017 it agreed with Vote Leave.\n<PERSON>, left, with <PERSON> at the Vote Leave offices. Photograph: to come\n6 BeLeave was given assistance and support by Vote Leave staff; it was run by 22- and 23-year-old volunteers with no campaign experience\nThe campaign was also based inside Vote Leave’s HQ. Vote Leave made a donation to BeLeave but gave the money directly to AIQ and it never hit BeLeave’s bank account.\n7 Vote Leave managed a shared drive to co-ordinate BeLeave content\nVote Leave set up and administered a shared computer drive where its most senior staff had access to all of BeLeave’s content. AIQ was also on this drive. Why were Vote Leave and BeLeave sharing documents when they were supposed to be kept separate? Why did Vote Leave’s most senior staff – <PERSON>, <PERSON> and <PERSON> – all have access to this BeLeave drive?\n8 Did they then try to cover it up?\nDays after Vote Leave was notified it was under investigation by the UK authorities, it attempted to remove its senior directors’ access from 140 BeLeave documents on the shared drive. Why would Vote Leave need to delete their access from the drive after being notified they were under investigation?\nA gif showing changes made to BeLeave shared drive permissions on 17 March 2017.\n9 What is AIQ’s role in this? Was British Facebook data, which is known to have been harvested by GSR, the company set up by Kogan, used? Was any data shared between Vote Leave, BeLeave, Veterans for Britain and the DUP?\nWe don’t know. Neither AIQ nor any of the campaign parties involved have answered these questions.\nIf this happened in Kenya or Nigeria, a new vote would be demanded by international observers. If this happened in a local constituency, a by-election would be called. Surely British democracy is mature enough to respond when something looks like it may have gone wrong, especially when the stakes are so high. The referendum was won by less than 2% of the vote. Could this have made the difference? Vote Leave’s chief strategist said it did: on a quote – now deleted – for AIQ’s website.\nI am a progressive Eurosceptic. I supported Leave.

[ [ "The List of Veggies This Trainer Says You Never Have to Track in Your Macros\nA post shared by <PERSON> (@maxweberfit) on Apr 10, 2018 at 4:16pm PDT\nSome veggies have so few calories, such as celery and cucumbers, that they're thought of as negative-calorie foods — meaning, your body burns more calories digesting them than actually eating them. And while this isn't entirely true, there is something to the idea that certain vegetables can be considered zero-calorie.\nAs personal trainer <PERSON>, NASM, ACE, (@maxweberfit) explained on Instagram, so many vegetables are so low in calories, they barely count. Sure, they're not zero-calorie foods exactly, but the number of calories per serving is so low, you're unlikely to overeat them. One cup of cucumber has just 16 calories, while a cup of baby spinach has just seven calories. <PERSON> explained that these veggies are high-volume, which means you get a lot of food for a small number of calories. Plus, they're high in fiber, which supports gut health and will fill you up.\nMax also considers them zero-calorie foods because he doesn't track them in his macros. \"Treating them as 'zero' incentivizes me to eat more of them (health) and it allows me to not stress about something as minute as 10 calories from a massive 2 cups of lettuce,\" he wrote in his caption. He added that if you're tracking your macros, he recommends not tracking these low-calorie veggies: cucumbers, bell peppers, asparagus, lettuce, spinach, cauliflower, broccoli, zucchini, Brussels sprouts, celery, mushrooms, and tomatoes (tomatoes are technically a fruit, but you get the idea).", "0" ], [ "<PERSON> and her now-hubby <PERSON> tie the knot — again! — on the April 15 episode of ‘Teen Mom 2.’ If rain on your wedding day is good luck, it looks like second time could be the charm for <PERSON>’s wedded bliss!\n<PERSON> and her husband <PERSON> are already legally married when they walk down the aisle on the April 15 episode of Teen Mom 2, but their lavish celebration, complete with a blindingly white wedding gown, is a big party for friends and family.\n<PERSON> & <PERSON> Tie The Knot\n<PERSON> and <PERSON> had gotten married weeks before on April 4, 2012 at Catlettsburg Wedding Chapel in Catlettsburg, Ky. so that they could apply for a home loan together.
