The 30-foot whale, which beached at Provincetown Harbor on Cape Cod, died of “chronic entanglement,” officials from the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) said, according to local news outlet WCVB. IFAW officials said they had received reports of dead whale at the harbor on Monday. The animal was found in an area in which the carcass was almost fully submerged at high tide. On Tuesday, the animal welfare nonprofit sent a team of six people to the site, including a veterinarian and a biologist, in order to perform a necropsy on the whale....

The event will support a social cause that focuses on the education of government school children in the city. The entire registration fee collected will be donated to the NGO Colours of Life which works with the Embassy Group education initiative to support 10 government schools in the city covering over 2000 children. Jitu Virwani, Chairman and Managing Director, Embassy Group, said, “Embassy Pedal for the Planet is symbolic of the commitment from the Embassy Group towards building and maintaining sustainable developments and supporting the communities around us....

One of the greatest privileges of my California childhood was the access to an abundance of sweet fresh fruit. Farmers market berries became a Saturday staple and we purchased oranges in 10-pound bags. My father always kept a big fruit bowl in the kitchen, which was lovingly refilled before dinner. Naturally, fruit is the epicenter of one of our most beloved family recipes. On summer nights, we fill my great-grandmother’s enormous pie pan with chopped peaches, apples, apricots—whatever is in season—and cloak it in a cookie-like mixture of butter, nuts, and oats....

“Hopefully in the next few months, we can put everything else and bring normalcy back in Indian cricket. For the last three years, there was an emergency-like situation in the BCCI, which can be overcome by all the members,” Ganguly said on Monday. “The organisation belongs to the members, they had no say in the last three years. Nobody knew what will happen, when things will be solved. I have never seen something like that,” the former India captain said....

A little more than a decade ago, the same company had been in desperate straits after 10 years of losses. Embraer’s comeback is a case study in how many top emerging companies have gone to the brink in a fiercely competitive business environment–and survived stronger because of it. During the late 1980s, its turboprop planes were rapidly losing their popularity after earlier capturing nearly half the U.S. commuter market. An expensive new joint project with Argentina to build a pressurized propjet became a white elephant when not a single plane was sold....

Though she was a compelling poet who explored a range of human emotions in her work, she did not receive widespread recognition for her work while she was alive. Very few of Dickinson’s poems were published before her death. Luckily, though, she left us with plenty of witty, insightful and beautiful poetry. The first collection of her poems was published in 1890, and a complete collection came to fruition in 1955....

The song is becoming a key part of Ghosts’ marketing, previously debuting in a multiplayer trailer. The promotion goes even further with both Infinity Ward’s game and Eminem’s LP being tied together. Pre-orders at Gamestop will give buyers a coupon that will provide a discount on the game and a previously unreleased track on Eminem’s upcoming The Marshall Mathers LP. 2, both of which are due out on the same day....

The WTA 250 tournament is scheduled to be played from January 2-8 in New Zealand’s Auckland city. Due to the strict COVID-19 restrictions in the country, the event was not held for two years. The last edition was played in 2020, where 23-time Grand Slam champion Serena Williams emerged victorious. Other players to sign up for the 2023 ASB Classic so far include 2017 US Open winner Sloane Stephens, World No....

LOGO epitomizes the heart, soul and spirit of an endeavor. The identity. The character. World’s richest league in the oldest combat sport deserved truly special. On this front, the Pro Wrestling League has added a golden chapter to the history of sports leagues even before its announcement to the world. There were brainstorming sessions for designing of the logo. After much debate and discussions, the search for the creators of logo stopped at the gates of India’s premiere Delhi College of Art in New Delhi....

The cells are “neither embryonic nor adult. They’re somewhere in between,” says Dr. Anthony Atala, a tissue-engineering specialist at Wake Forest University who led the research team. (The study appears in the journal Nature Biotechnology.) The “AFS cells” rival embryonic stem cells in their ability to multiply and transform into many different cell types, and they eventually could be hugely helpful to doctors in treating diseases throughout the body and building new organs in the lab....

And like their diverse appearances, their functions also greatly vary, meaning that some are more situationally useful while others hold long-term practicality. They can only be equipped at Respites, so be sure to plan ahead, as players cannot swap out Relics on the fly. RELATED: Ender Lilies: Quietus Of The Knights - Where To Find The Cliffside Hamlet Youth Skill Furthermore, gamers only have a certain number of slots for equipping Relics in Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights, so they must choose their loadout wisely to make the most out of every situation in this challenging game....

It was confirmed in RAW last week that the WWE title match will be a singles match and not an Elimination Chamber match that many of us were dying to see The Rock in. While that sounds extremely disappointing, we still can expect two chamber matches in this year’s Elimination Chamber PPV. With Rock’s heavy schedule and concerns for his health, WWE has very wisely not put him in a chamber match but Del Rio will be seen defending the title within the chamber which is somewhat satisfying....

The latest Economist-YouGov poll, released Wednesday, shows Biden narrowly holding on to the top position with 22 percent. Warren came in second place garnering 17 percent, while Harris followed closely behind with 14 percent. Sanders, who has typically come second after Biden in most polls for months, fell to fourth place with 11 percent. Meanwhile, South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg, who garnered five percent, also made it into the top five candidates....

The Internet Doesn’t Want Elon Musk to Host SNL In a caption-less image tweet, Saturday Night Live (SNL) announced via its official Twitter account (@nbcsnl) that Elon Musk, the billionaire Technoking of Tesla himself, will be hosting the show on May 8, 2021. And before you ask: no, the musical guest is not his partner Grimes. It’s singer-songwriter Miley Cyrus. But it feels like that part doesn’t matter as much when you see the very angry reactions online to what might be Musk’s strangest media appearance yet....

The billionaire and frequent tweeter stated on Wednesday morning that being a mother is as important as any other career. Hundreds of thousands of people reacted to the tweet, with thousands of people replying to Musk with their own thoughts, jokes and a wave of memes. Tesla CEO Musk was active on Twitter over Tuesday night and Wednesday morning as he spoke to his ex-partner Grimes about getting “elf ear” surgery and excited some soccer fans by suggesting he was going to buy Manchester United....

“Twitter’s current lords & peasants system for who has or doesn’t have a blue checkmark is bulls***. Power to the people! Blue for $8/month,” Musk, who formally acquired Twitter last week, tweeted. Musk added his $8 check mark plan would adjust prices “by country proportionate to purchasing power parity” and would give Twitter “a revenue stream to reward content creators.” Additionally, he said the pay plan would include additional benefits such as “priority in replies, mentions & search,” the ability to post longer video/audio content and “half as many ads....

RYAN: The Dodgers, as you know, recently committed $215 million over the next seven years to Clayton Kershaw, the still-young lefthander who is the best pitcher in baseball. Today, I’m committing the first overall pick in SN’s draft of National League West players to Kershaw. MORE: American League East draft That’s pretty much the same thing, right? At least, same ballpark? No? Oh well. I’ve spent the past half-hour sitting in this coffee shop trying to talk myself into selecting a position player, a guy who should play at least 140 games instead of one who will play just 33, with the top pick....

A slow ride back to the top for Ember Moon? Ember Moon made her shock return to the black and gold brand when she was revealed as the mystery person in the vignettes that had aired leading up to TakeOver 31. She came out to the entrance ramp to announce her arrival following NXT Women’s Champion Io Shirai’s successful title defense over Candice LeRae. During her first appearance on NXT TV since her return, Kai attacked the returning former NXT Women’s Champ....

Fentanyl typically comes as a white powder, which can be mixed with other drugs—like methamphetamine and cocaine—and stamped onto pills. Increasingly, drugs being sold on the street as OxyContin, Xanax, Adderall, or other prescription drugs, are laced with fentanyl. A restaurant worker who uses stimulants to stay active for a 10-hour shift might consume fentanyl unwittingly. So might a college student who purchases Adderall to stay alert while studying. Because fentanyl is so potent, a slight difference in dosing can spell the difference between life and death, especially for people with no tolerance for opioids....
