Scientists accidentally kill world's oldest animal at age 507. The oldest animal ever known lived from 1499 until the day researchers cracked its shell open, killing it in the process.
For example, there is a federal law (and similar laws in every state) allowing consumers to cancel contracts made with a door-to-door salesperson within three days of signing. You might use that law after hastily agreeing to have someone repave your driveway, deliver lawn fertilizer, or put a new roof on your house.
The cancelation deadlines are September 9, 2016 for the fall semester and February 3, 2017 for the spring semester. Students transferring to a room with a university supplied kitchen after the cancelation deadline have five business days from the effective date of the transfer to change or cancel a meal plan. After the five days, the plan is a binding contract for the remainder of the semester. Students who cancel their residence hall contract will also have their meal plan canceled. All cancelations are subject to contract cancelation guidelines. Students who cancel their room contract may request a meal plan.
