☆ Opinion: Why we can’t let go of the mystery of Amelia Earhart
  + stars: | 2024-02-06 | by ( Opinion Dorothy Cochrane | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +8 min
A marine robotics company recently captured an object on the ocean floor, about 15,000 feet below the surface of the Pacific Ocean. Earhart’s flight plan was well known. According to Earhart biographer Doris Rich, the US government had obtained permits for the countries she would stop in along the way. And it fit her need of a refueling stop in the western Pacific Ocean. In 1997, pilot Elgen Long and his wife Marie Long published the book, “Amelia Earhart: The Mystery Solved.” The Longs laid out facts and solid suppositions for others to follow.

Read previewThe race is on to find the wreckage of Amelia Earhart's ill-fated final flight. Tony Romeo and his company, Deep Sea Vision, discovered an object of similar size and shape to Amelia Earhart's iconic plane, deep in the Pacific Ocean. Deep Sea VisionRomeo says he may have solved the mystery with his sonar scans. The same aircraft radio receiver used by Amelia Earhart was recreated by Nauticos as they researched Earhart's final transmissions. Deep Sea Vision now leases its equipment to other ocean explorers to continue funding its mission.

☆ If you want to find affordable housing, you might want to try Minneapolis, where the inflation rate is surprisingly low
  + stars: | 2023-08-10 | by ( Sebastian Cahill | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +2 min
Minneapolis is the first major metropolitan area to have inflation rates below the Fed's 2% target. According to Bloomberg, Minneapolis hit the goal in May with an inflation rate of 1.8%. The rate is likely due to aggressive legislating to address soaring housing costs in the city. While Minneapolis residents spent 39.9% of their monthly income on housing costs, their co-parts in San Francisco paid 46.7% of their monthly income to housing; residents of Boston shelled out a whopping 60.7% of their income for housing costs, per Bloomberg. People ideally would spend around 30% of their income on housing, senior vice president of the National Low Income Housing Coalition Andrew Aurand, told CNBC.

Abercrombie & Fitch Co. is moving more merchandise through New York and New Jersey to avoid West Coast bottlenecks. It trailed its East Coast rival again in that measure during September and October, according to the Pacific Merchant Shipping Association and ports data. ”There are so many customers that got so screwed because they were entirely reliant on L.A. and Long Beach.”The logistical challenges of spreading imports along the East Coast and the Gulf Coast are massive. The shift in trade to the East Coast marks a return to where container ships originated. Then the U.S. began importing more goods from Europe, making an Atlantic Ocean crossing to various East Coast ports more critical.
