So-called "porch pirates" are generally looking for packages that they can grab quickly and easily … if anything presents a challenge, they'll just move on to another porch. It was with this in mind that the Snare Parcel Protection system was created.
Invented by Canadian entrepreneur (and former machinist) Dennis Evans, Snare incorporates two parts - a stainless steel bracket that's permanently mounted on an outdoor surface such as a wall, and the main parcel-securing unit. The latter is key-locked onto the mount when the user is expecting a package.

As part of a $4.5 million land deal, the ancestral homeland of the Esselen Tribe has been returned to its people after being landless for a quarter of a millennium.
"We are back after a 250-year absence - because in 1770 our people were taken to the missions," Tom Little Bear Nason, chairman of the Esselen Tribe of Monterey County, told the Monterey County Weekly. "Now we are back home. We plan on keeping this land forever."

The problem with writing fiction is that readers expect the worlds authors create, even the most baffling and high concept ones, to make sense-so authors spend a lot of time making the worlds they craft believable. And sometimes, they come up with a plot point in their work that seems to foresee a real-world event.
