Last week’s brutal, damaging storm actually revealed something beautiful at Mount Hope Cemetery. When the storm toppled a tree, it revealed the headstone of a woman who died more than 100 years ago. The marker of Edna Goodman Allen was buried under the roots, but Mother Nature brought her name back.

In short:

Six major ice cream companies in Japan are under suspicion of colluding to hike their prices.

The Japan Fair Trade Commission is investigating the allegations against frozen dessert brands Meiji, Ezaki Glico, Morinaga Milk Industry Co, Lotte Co, Morinaga & Co, and Akagi Nyugyo Co.

What's next?

If the companies did violate laws, they will be fined and ordered to improve their business practices.
