(Korea Coast Guard)Shark sightings in South Korea have long been limited to the realm of movies like Steven Spielberg's iconic 1975 film, "Jaws." Being a relatively shark-free zone, encountering dangerous sharks was considered more fiction than reality.But recently, a growing number of sightings of shark that are known to attack humans in the East Sea indicate that Koreans are no longer safe from the predatory creatures.

After the boardroom shakeup at Jiangling Group Electric Vehicle Co. Ltd.

ROME, April 21 -- Italy has authorized 40 northern towns to ration water supplies as Europe prepares for a second consecutive year of severe drought. The European Drought Observatory has reported dangerously dry conditions this month across most of Europe's western Mediterranean coast, northern Italy, France, and into Spain and Portugal. Parts of Britain, Germany, Ireland, and Switzerland have also suffered from unusually dry weather over the last year.

I used to think that brunch was a scam, engineered to convince the public that paying $18 for two eggs and bread was a mark of sophistication. (I say this as someone who used to be the egg poacher for a popular brunch spot.) But in the course of working on this list, I got to know the unique brunch cultures of the Bay Area. Here, the menu of dishes you might leisurely tuck into with a cup of coffee include Eritrean stews, squidgy rice rolls, beet hummus or oysters fresh from Tomales Bay. Brunch is exciting here, and never the same — though there are a wealth of options for the Benedict lovers out there.

After hours-long interpellations by the Senate minority bloc that started Monday afternoon and lasted until the wee hours of Tuesday, Pimentel sought to continue raising questions about the contentious measure in the next session.
