As for what the company must do now, the board issued a string of recommendations, giving Nestle 60 days to submit a compliance plan and 90 days to submit an investigation and monitoring plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.scpr.org/news/2017/12/26/79172/nestle-warned-it-lacks-rights-to-socal-forest-spri/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Member station KPCC reports\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Nestle said it was too soon to say what impact, if any, the letter would have on Arrowhead bottled water. A spokeswoman said she was pleased that the report reaffirms Nestle holds valid rights to 'a significant amount' of water.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Water from the headwaters of Strawberry Creek in the San Bernardino National Forest has been bottled since the late 1800s -- and Nestle had told California regulators that the claim to the water by the original owner of the Arrowhead Springs Hotel had extended through the years to the Swiss multinational.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Water Board officials did not agree, saying that while the hotel's use was riparian -- taking place at the water's origin -- Nestle couldn't convert that to an \"appropriative use.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The board left open the possibility that Nestle could make a valid claim to extract more water from the forest land. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2017 NPR.

Things that were maneuvering at hypersonic velocities -- by the way, in many cases without a sonic boom, which is very unusual -- and things that had this weird positive lift capability, apparently being able to fly without any flight surfaces, and without any propulsion, which is very, very unique.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, none of this comes close to proving the existence of extraterrestrial intelligence -- but it does prove the U.S. government has been investigating UFOs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think when it comes to UFOs we are now in the era of evidence,\" Elizondo said. \"We have reached a critical mass of credible witnesses, and I think what's most important, from my perspective at this point, is that the sightings are definite.

In addition, researchers spoke to military service members who had reported sightings of strange aircraft.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>In an interview with KQED, Elizondo would not confirm the recovery of materials from a UFO. But when asked about physical effects experienced by people who had come into contact with the materials mentioned in the Times story, he said \"That's true. And that has been demonstrated. That is correct.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asked point-blank whether, after his experience in the program, Elizondo believes there is extraterrestrial life, he was less evasive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Yes,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Elizondo resigned in October, and said the military did not take it seriously enough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Despite overwhelming evidence at both the classified and unclassified levels, certain individuals in the [Defense] Department remain staunchly opposed to further research on what could be a tactical threat to our pilots, sailors and soldiers, and perhaps even an existential threat to our national security,\" Elizondo wrote in a resignation letter to Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, the Post reported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An anonymous former congressional staffer told Politico that Sen.

But if you met him at a bar, he’d probably tell you he’s a software engineer. That’s because his work is sensitive — but also, because he works for a tech company in Silicon Valley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As more and more of our lives play out online, so do crimes. This has prompted major tech companies to start growing internal crime-fighting cyber teams, often staffing them with former law enforcement agents. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In this case, the man with the intense chart on his screen works for a security team called “the Paranoids” — a brand started almost 20 years ago by techies at Yahoo, now known as Oath after a merger with Verizon/AOL. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is basically a fraud ring that we identified out of South Africa,” says the investigator. (He spoke anonymously to protect his work.) \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“\u003cem>We”\u003c/em> refers to the “threat investigations unit” at Oath — a team of about 20 people that hunts for fraudsters, identity thieves, child predators and other criminals who might be using Yahoo Mail, messengers, Flickr, Tumblr or other corporate platforms for their illicit acts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://www.npr.org/player/embed/569481122/571735736\" width=\"100%\" height=\"290\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"NPR embedded audio player\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About a third of this team came to Silicon Valley by way of law enforcement — including the man in charge, Sean Zadig. His path to security work began as a federal agent, investigating international cybercrime at the NASA Office of Inspector General, tracking down hackers who tried to hijack NASA computers. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is an interesting trend: Silicon Valley has been slowly staffing up with former agents — from the FBI, the Secret Service, or in this case, NASA. The matter even came up at a recent congressional hearing on Russia’s influence campaign on social media, where a Republican lawmaker \u003ca href=\"https://www.c-span.org/video/?436362-1/facebook-google-twitter-executives-testify-russias-influence-2016-election&start=5532\">asked a Facebook executive\u003c/a> why his company needed staff with security clearances.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a way, it’s a reflection of modern crime. Criminals send emails, follow each other on Facebook, find victims on dating sites. Tech companies don’t want to be used for criminal schemes, and hiring highly trained federal investigators helps.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”dxqi0DRrVYpxwb9oV6IxAT2sIt8z7wl8″]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there’s also something else. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The government doesn’t always have the birds-eye view anymore,” says Tom Pageler, a former Secret Service agent, who’s now also in the tech industry. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says it used to be that the government had more of our data: Social Security numbers, driver’s licenses, voter registration. Now, it’s private companies that know where we go online, who we’re talking to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think that actually what is happening today is what we were hoping for back then,” Pageler says, referring to his days in the Secret Service in the the early 2000s. There is now “a really good partnership, where well-trained individuals are going into the private industry and know how to investigate the case and package it properly for law enforcement to do what they need to do,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Charts on the Walls\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>I met the Zadig, the Oath threat investigations chief, at the company’s Sunnyvale headquarters for essentially a super nerdy ride-along, which is how I found myself staring at that intense chart.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The chart shows who did what to whom, where they are located, how they are connected to each other,” he says. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His investigators can’t see the content of emails — that’s law enforcement warrant territory — but they \u003cem>can \u003c/em>connect email accounts by seeing who’s emailing whom, or whether the same phone number gets used to sign up. They can then scour the Web for social networks or other public digital trails connected to those emails and phone numbers — trying to put emails to names, faces and locations. Occasionally, they find the suspects on Facebook posing with wads of cash.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We will print these charts out 2, 3 feet wide and they’ll be longer than the conference room table,” Zadig says. “And we’ll often sit down with law enforcement prosecutors and walk them through: Here’s how this account connects to this account, here’s how we identified this person.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sometimes, Zadig says, his team would return later for a follow-up “and we’ll see these charts on the walls, law enforcement or prosecutors have marked on them, they’ve made new connections that we hadn’t made.” He says his team’s work has led to more than 150 arrests in about three years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zadig’s team usually comes in after something illegal already happened. This includes the giant \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/10/03/555016024/every-yahoo-account-that-existed-in-mid-2013-was-likely-hacked\">hacks of Yahoo itself\u003c/a>, which happened in 2013 and 2014 and were disclosed by the company in late 2016. The company has not been able to identify the 2013 hack, but for the 2014 breach, the Justice Department \u003ca href=\"https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/us-charges-russian-fsb-officers-and-their-criminal-conspirators-hacking-yahoo-and-millions\">has indicted\u003c/a> four people: a Canadian hacker, \u003ca href=\"https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2017/11/canadian-man-pleads-guilty-admits-role-in-massive-2014-yahoo-hack/\">who has pleaded guilty\u003c/a>, and three Russians, two of whom are accused as agents of the Russian government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11638345\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/img_3928-2f6858489b28df36f6eb17370ecb827270d4ea61-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"As a former federal agent, Zadig has a collection of these so-called challenge coins, which are exchanged by law enforcement agents during visits.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11638345\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">As a former federal agent, Zadig has a collection of these so-called challenge coins, which are exchanged by law enforcement agents during visits. \u003ccite>(Alina Selyukh/NPR)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>‘We are a private company’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Not all investigations end up being shared with law enforcement. Some spammers might simply be shut down by the internal team. Jasdeep Singh Bhalla, a software developer on Zadig’s team, showed me an automated search tool he’s been building for months to dig up all accounts one spammer might create using bots, allowing the team to shut them down in one fell swoop.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In a matter of 30 seconds, you’ve got 70 associated accounts,” Singh Bhalla says, as a massive web of related accounts populates his screen. This is an extreme case: someone had created some 1,200 related accounts. “If you do this manually,” Singh Bhalla says, “it would take you two months to search.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And here’s an example of how a case that does end up resulting in arrests might develop inside a tech company. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few years back, a bank alerted Yahoo that someone was hacking into accounts and switching associated email addresses to Yahoo emails. But when Zadig’s team looked in, they found something else: subject lines indicating that numerous tax filings were being completed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bigger scheme was tax return fraud. Yahoo’s investigators could see dozens of Yahoo accounts created to file tax returns with various tax providers, indicating that numerous refunds were being issued and cashed out. (Two guys were later arrested as part of a \u003ca href=\"http://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/community/miami-dade/article45492507.html\">massive identity-theft sweep\u003c/a> in the Miami area.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”pZkjLNGp9ojZvuA5a8r9D2od5hcvsXiP”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For law enforcement, this kind of information is only available with a search warrant — for each email account. They might have never connected these particular dots, and definitely not this fast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And this can be a touchy comparison. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s a point that Zadig made at least three times in two days: “We are not law enforcement; we work for a private company … We don’t want to be accused of being an agent of law enforcement, of doing things that would normally require a legal process.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When I asked Zadig and Pageler — who’s now the chief risk and security officer at Neustar — why they’d left public service, both offered similar stories. Those had been dream jobs — Pageler even says he’d felt physically sick to leave the Secret Service. But the hours were extreme, the travel intense, the pay not as good — both men wanted a more family-friendly lifestyle. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Pageler was a special agent, he established the San Francisco electronic crimes task force, meant to spur exactly what he says is happening now: better coordination and cooperation between the tech companies and the government. “It’s really pretty awesome for me to see,” he says. “I feel like we’re on the path that I was working for and I think it’s working very well.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

His path to security work began as a federal agent, investigating international cybercrime at the NASA Office of Inspector General, tracking down hackers who tried to hijack NASA computers. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is an interesting trend: Silicon Valley has been slowly staffing up with former agents — from the FBI, the Secret Service, or in this case, NASA. The matter even came up at a recent congressional hearing on Russia’s influence campaign on social media, where a Republican lawmaker \u003ca href=\"https://www.c-span.org/video/?436362-1/facebook-google-twitter-executives-testify-russias-influence-2016-election&start=5532\">asked a Facebook executive\u003c/a> why his company needed staff with security clearances.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a way, it’s a reflection of modern crime. Criminals send emails, follow each other on Facebook, find victims on dating sites. Tech companies don’t want to be used for criminal schemes, and hiring highly trained federal investigators helps.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there’s also something else. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The government doesn’t always have the birds-eye view anymore,” says Tom Pageler, a former Secret Service agent, who’s now also in the tech industry. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says it used to be that the government had more of our data: Social Security numbers, driver’s licenses, voter registration. Now, it’s private companies that know where we go online, who we’re talking to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think that actually what is happening today is what we were hoping for back then,” Pageler says, referring to his days in the Secret Service in the the early 2000s. There is now “a really good partnership, where well-trained individuals are going into the private industry and know how to investigate the case and package it properly for law enforcement to do what they need to do,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Charts on the Walls\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>I met the Zadig, the Oath threat investigations chief, at the company’s Sunnyvale headquarters for essentially a super nerdy ride-along, which is how I found myself staring at that intense chart.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The chart shows who did what to whom, where they are located, how they are connected to each other,” he says. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His investigators can’t see the content of emails — that’s law enforcement warrant territory — but they \u003cem>can \u003c/em>connect email accounts by seeing who’s emailing whom, or whether the same phone number gets used to sign up. They can then scour the Web for social networks or other public digital trails connected to those emails and phone numbers — trying to put emails to names, faces and locations. Occasionally, they find the suspects on Facebook posing with wads of cash.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We will print these charts out 2, 3 feet wide and they’ll be longer than the conference room table,” Zadig says. “And we’ll often sit down with law enforcement prosecutors and walk them through: Here’s how this account connects to this account, here’s how we identified this person.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sometimes, Zadig says, his team would return later for a follow-up “and we’ll see these charts on the walls, law enforcement or prosecutors have marked on them, they’ve made new connections that we hadn’t made.” He says his team’s work has led to more than 150 arrests in about three years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zadig’s team usually comes in after something illegal already happened. This includes the giant \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/10/03/555016024/every-yahoo-account-that-existed-in-mid-2013-was-likely-hacked\">hacks of Yahoo itself\u003c/a>, which happened in 2013 and 2014 and were disclosed by the company in late 2016. The company has not been able to identify the 2013 hack, but for the 2014 breach, the Justice Department \u003ca href=\"https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/us-charges-russian-fsb-officers-and-their-criminal-conspirators-hacking-yahoo-and-millions\">has indicted\u003c/a> four people: a Canadian hacker, \u003ca href=\"https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2017/11/canadian-man-pleads-guilty-admits-role-in-massive-2014-yahoo-hack/\">who has pleaded guilty\u003c/a>, and three Russians, two of whom are accused as agents of the Russian government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11638345\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/img_3928-2f6858489b28df36f6eb17370ecb827270d4ea61-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"As a former federal agent, Zadig has a collection of these so-called challenge coins, which are exchanged by law enforcement agents during visits.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11638345\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">As a former federal agent, Zadig has a collection of these so-called challenge coins, which are exchanged by law enforcement agents during visits. \u003ccite>(Alina Selyukh/NPR)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>‘We are a private company’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Not all investigations end up being shared with law enforcement. Some spammers might simply be shut down by the internal team. Jasdeep Singh Bhalla, a software developer on Zadig’s team, showed me an automated search tool he’s been building for months to dig up all accounts one spammer might create using bots, allowing the team to shut them down in one fell swoop.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In a matter of 30 seconds, you’ve got 70 associated accounts,” Singh Bhalla says, as a massive web of related accounts populates his screen. This is an extreme case: someone had created some 1,200 related accounts. “If you do this manually,” Singh Bhalla says, “it would take you two months to search.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And here’s an example of how a case that does end up resulting in arrests might develop inside a tech company. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few years back, a bank alerted Yahoo that someone was hacking into accounts and switching associated email addresses to Yahoo emails. But when Zadig’s team looked in, they found something else: subject lines indicating that numerous tax filings were being completed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bigger scheme was tax return fraud. Yahoo’s investigators could see dozens of Yahoo accounts created to file tax returns with various tax providers, indicating that numerous refunds were being issued and cashed out. (Two guys were later arrested as part of a \u003ca href=\"http://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/community/miami-dade/article45492507.html\">massive identity-theft sweep\u003c/a> in the Miami area.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For law enforcement, this kind of information is only available with a search warrant — for each email account. They might have never connected these particular dots, and definitely not this fast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And this can be a touchy comparison. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s a point that Zadig made at least three times in two days: “We are not law enforcement; we work for a private company … We don’t want to be accused of being an agent of law enforcement, of doing things that would normally require a legal process.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When I asked Zadig and Pageler — who’s now the chief risk and security officer at Neustar — why they’d left public service, both offered similar stories. Those had been dream jobs — Pageler even says he’d felt physically sick to leave the Secret Service. But the hours were extreme, the travel intense, the pay not as good — both men wanted a more family-friendly lifestyle. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

No Democrats voted in favor of the bill, as was the case when the \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2017/11/16/564615897/house-approves-gop-tax-overhaul-with-senate-outlook-uncertain\" target=\"_blank\">House passed its initial version of the bill\u003c/a> in November.

No Democrats voted for the bill in either the House or Senate's initial votes, and the bill did not undergo any major changes in conference committee, where the differences between the House and Senate versions were reconciled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just before the vote, House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., spoke, casting the bill as a long-awaited conservative victory that would benefit American workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"My colleagues, this is a day I have looked forward to for a very long time,\" he said. \"We are about to achieve some big things -- things that the cynics have scoffed at for years, decades even.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As he and other Republicans have done for months while promoting the plan, he likewise framed the bill as being beneficial to workers and families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"fbUJjoYj5xVEXF6yH5kKOEEbGgHh2pK9\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is real relief for families out there living paycheck-to-paycheck, struggling to make ends meet,\" he later added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., castigated Republicans for a bill that she said would particularly benefit the already-wealthy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In this holy time, the moral obscenity and unrepentant greed of the GOP tax scam stands out even more clearly,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though the bill would \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2017/12/15/571258698/chart-how-the-new-version-of-the-republican-tax-bill-would-affect-you\" target=\"_blank\">lower tax rates\u003c/a> for many Americans, it also is in large part a corporate tax cut, lowering the top federal corporate tax rate drastically, from 35 percent to 21 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to a new report from the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center, the plan would \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2017/12/19/571754894/charts-see-how-much-of-gop-tax-cuts-will-go-to-the-middle-class\">overwhelmingly benefit the richest Americans\u003c/a>. In 2018, the center estimates, the average household would get a tax cut of $1,610, but the average household earning more than $1 million would get a tax cut of nearly $70,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, the bill makes most individual tax changes temporary, setting them to expire after 2025, while making corporate tax cuts permanent. Republicans did this so that the bill could meet budgetary rules they had set out for themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That early sunset of individual tax cuts means that, come 2027, more than half of Americans could see a tax increase, according to the Tax Policy Center report.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaking to reporters after the House vote, Ryan said that Republicans intend to eventually extend those provisions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We have every intent of making those permanent,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/CBSNews/status/943207866386829312\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill is also set to add nearly $1.5 trillion to deficits over the next decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans, eager to score a major legislative win, have pushed their tax overhaul through Congress at breakneck pace. Thus far, \u003ca href=\"https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/115/hr1\" target=\"_blank\">47 days have passed\u003c/a> since the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was introduced in the House.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's quick compared to the last time the tax code underwent major changes, with the \u003ca href=\"https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/99/hr3838\">Tax Reform Act of 1986\u003c/a>. President Ronald Reagan signed that bill 323 days after it was first introduced in the House.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's not the only way that this tax overhaul effort differs from the Reagan overhaul in 1986. That one had bipartisan agreement, with \"yes\" votes from 116 Republicans, along with 176 Democrats, as C-SPAN Capitol Hill producer Craig Caplan pointed out Tuesday. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/CraigCaplan/status/943162598027120642\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2017 NPR.

The House will reconvene Wednesday morning and is set to vote again then.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The House passed the final version of Republicans' $1.5 trillion tax overhaul on Tuesday afternoon, by a vote of 227-203.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That vote fell largely along party lines. No Democrats voted in favor of the bill, as was the case when the \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2017/11/16/564615897/house-approves-gop-tax-overhaul-with-senate-outlook-uncertain\" target=\"_blank\">House passed its initial version of the bill\u003c/a> in November.

In 2018, the center estimates, the average household would get a tax cut of $1,610, but the average household earning more than $1 million would get a tax cut of nearly $70,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, the bill makes most individual tax changes temporary, setting them to expire after 2025, while making corporate tax cuts permanent. Republicans did this so that the bill could meet budgetary rules they had set out for themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That early sunset of individual tax cuts means that, come 2027, more than half of Americans could see a tax increase, according to the Tax Policy Center report.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaking to reporters after the House vote, Ryan said that Republicans intend to eventually extend those provisions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We have every intent of making those permanent,\" he said.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
