5 things
1⃣ Buyer beware
Samples of commercial dog foods contained “dangerous levels” of lead, mercury and other contaminants, according to a new investigation. Dry food carried the most heavy metals, followed by air- and freeze-dried products.
2⃣ Increased charges
Rising prices for natural gas, electricity and home heating oil — combined with sustained frigid temperatures in much of the country — are burning yet another hole in many Americans’ wallets. This is how some households are trying to keep expenses in check.
3⃣ ‘Cruel and brazen’
Nafiah Ikram was severely burned when someone threw acid in her face outside her home on New York’s Long Island. Her assailant remained unknown for years. Now, investigators say they have a breakthrough: this rapper’s lyric.
4⃣ Lost image
Despite having the largest solar storm in history named after him, Richard Carrington is not well known. One hundred fifty years after his death, the astronomer’s only confirmed portrait has finally been discovered.
5⃣ Worth the price
Centuries after his ancestors migrated from Italy to the US, Vito Andrea Racanelli decided to do it in reverse and leave his home in Denver to purchase a $1 million Tuscan farmhouse. The splurge gave him more than just greenery.
