New Hampshire man had no car and no furniture, but died with a big secret, leaving his town millions

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:22:20 GMT

HINSDALE, N.H. (AP) — Geoffrey Holt was unassuming as the caretaker of a mobile home park in Hinsdale, New Hampshire, where he lived a simple, but curious life. Residents would see Holt around town in threadbare clothes — riding his lawn mower, headed to the convenience store, parked along the main road reading a newspaper or watching cars pass.He did odd jobs for others, but rarely left town. Despite having taught driver’s ed to high schoolers, Holt had given up driving a car. He opted for a bicycle instead and finally the mower. His mobile home in the park was mostly empty of furniture — no TV and no computer, either. The legs of the bed went through the floor.“He seemed to have what he wanted, but he didn’t want much,” said Edwin “Smokey” Smith, Holt’s best friend and former employer.But Holt died earlier this year with a secret: He was a multimillionaire. And what’s more, he gave it all away to this community of 4,200 people.His will had brief instructions: $3.8 million to...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:22:20 GMT

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — By their own standards, the Philadelphia Eagles’ victory over the Kansas City Chiefs wasn’t a masterpiece performance. But it was yet another masterclass in winning.Jalen Hurts overcame five sacks in the first half, the Eagles pushed aside some ineffective play on both sides of the ball and the result was a 21-17 comeback victory over Kansas City in a rematch of last year’s Super Bowl.“I’d trade winning last year for this one, but it feels good to get this one,” Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said.Sirianni was most impressed by his team’s intangibles in the victory that improved them to a league-best 9-1.“We have a bunch of guys who know how to win,” he said.The Eagles couldn’t protect Hurts before halftime when they fell behind by 10 points and didn’t look much better when they opened the second half with two consecutive three-and-outs. But there was no panic on the sideline.“There’s a calmness there,” Hurts said. “You have to truly remain in control. You want ...

LONDON — Britain’s National Health Service (NHS) on Tuesday awarded a £330 million contract to run a new data platform to a bid spearheaded by U.S. tech company Palantir.Under a deal initially set to run for five years, Palantir, alongside Accenture and PwC, will provide a “Federated Data Platform” to the NHS. The platform is a bid to connect the many different data systems within the U.K.’s sprawling, publicly-funded healthcare system.Health bosses say the FDP will improve patient care and stop patients having to repeatedly explain their ailments to staff at different hospitals.But the tender has attracted criticism from campaigners, who fret that it will lead to controversial U.S. tech firm Palantir gaining a central role in Britain’s cherished NHS.Palantir, which had long been tipped to win the contract, has courted controversy because of links to former Donald Trump donor Peter Thiel and work for national security agencies and militaries.“The safety and security of patient data ...
