...missed his first wife/second mother's roast chicken and chocolate layer cake. He's missed sharing nuclear family time with Jane and their three grown children, Lauren (Caitlin Fitzgerald), Luke (Hunter Parrish) and Gabby (Zoe Kazan), who look and act as though they've been ordered from the J. Crew catalogue. So what's in it for Jane? We understand that she wants the validation of finally hearing her husband admit he made a mistake. The second wife, Agness (Lake Bell), is a huge disappointment: temperamental, with "a big job," a demanding child who diminishes Stepdad Jake every chance...
...main clue was the way the dirt in one part of the excavated site abruptly changed color. Sandwiched between two strips of dark red-orange dirt was an unexpected layer of gray. This, the class concluded, could be none other than evidence for one wall of the Indian College, a school Harvard had established in 1655 for the education and Christianization of Native Americans.

Gold is now something you can hold in a portfolio, like any financial asset. Lots of investors have chosen to do so. The SPDR...
...signing of the Antarctic Treaty dedicated the continent entirely to research, from which have come a slew of discoveries about our planet. British scientists discovered the gaping, man-made hole in the ozone layer in the 1980s, while studies of Antarctic ice have contributed to our understanding of climate change - and increased concerns over catastrophically high sea levels if the continent's thick glaciers were to melt. One of the most integral aspects of Antarctic scientific study remains, surprisingly, meteorites: the continent is a collecting ground for them, preserved well because they naturally bury into the ice for thousands...
