James and the Men of Steel didn’t turn out so badly, though. The “likely” AFC Championship game matchup between the Steelers and New England Patriots turned out to be otherwise, so the nightmare of seeing No. 92 in Patriots gear working feverishly to sack Ben Roethlisberger never materialized. To some degree, every Steelers fan had this concern following Harrison’s release just before Christmas and subsequent signing with New England just after....

Officials from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Greater Atlantic Regional Fisheries Office (GARFO) said Sunday that a North Atlantic right whale, known as “Cottontail,” had been found dead around 15 miles from the coast of Myrtle Beach. The 11-year-old male had previously been seen entangled in fishing gear in October 2020, off the coast of Nantucket, Massachusetts. At that time, a Marine Animal Entanglement Response team from the Center for Coastal Studies attached tracking devices to the ropes entangling the whale in order to monitor its movements via satellite and provide information for future disentanglement efforts....

The 25-year-old has been training with the national team since Monday, having been named on the five-man standby list for Gareth Southgate’s World Cup squad. However, any hopes he had of joining team-mate Nick Pope in heading to Russia look to have been dashed, although Burnley expect him to be available for the start of pre-season training. “James Tarkowski has withdrawn from England’s World Cup preparation camp at St. George’s Park to undergo a hernia operation,” a club statement read....

Including the latest defeat, England’s senior national team has only won 30 percent of PK shootouts in Euros, World Cups and Nations League. For some unknown reason, the Three Lions and spot kicks don’t seem to mix, with even the most talented English players crumbling under the pressure of the 12-yard showdown. Penalties have haunted England for generations at major tournaments throughout the 1990s and into the 2000s, but they have managed to win a few, too....

England face Spain in the Under-17 World Cup final on Saturday in Kolkata after Liverpool youngster Rhian Brewster made it back-to-back hat-tricks in the Three Lions’ 3-1 semi-final triumph over Brazil. City midfielder Phil Foden, goalkeeper Curtis Anderson and defender Joel Latibeaudiere, the team’s captain, all starred, with the latter now poised to lead out Steve Cooper’s side in the final. Foden has been training with Guardiola’s first-team squad alongside fellow City youth products Tosin Adarabioyo and Brahim Diaz this season and earned rave reviews for some eye-catching performances in the International Champions Trophy....

The 34-year-old TikTok sensation from Texas, one half of the Enkyboys duo, told his followers in an emotional video that he was diagnosed with stage four colon cancer six months ago. Gonzalez has found fame as part of the Enkyboys posting funny videos with his son, Brice, and often with the rest of his family too. The Enkyboys have amassed over fifteen million followers on TikTok and almost 280 million likes on their videos....

It’s a timely sentiment. Exactly 100 years ago, we Brits embraced everlasting friendship with our closest neighbor and oldest enemy. No more squabbling over colonies, threats of war, cartoons portraying an elderly Queen Victoria baring her bum to the French. Instead it would be Entente Cordiale. And it’s worked. Our pols may squabble but France we adore. Every summer, like 13 million of our countrymen, my family heads for the nation’s favorite holiday destination–France....

The four-day work week is not just key to better employee satisfaction and increased business productivity, it could be the solution many companies are searching for to get employees back into the office post-pandemic, as working from home has become commonplace. A shorter week doesn’t only make us healthier and happier; I have seen how it can make businesses more successful. Most workers are suffering from burnout, which has sometimes become inseparable from our working lives....

Bathroom: In the past 10 months, 35 models of high-performance, high-efficiency toilets that use less than 1.3 gallons per flush, compared with the standard 1.6gpf, have earned the EPA’s WaterSense seal of approval. Unlike many of their low-flow predecessors, these new models, which sell for $200 to $550, guarantee a clean flush (for more information, see epa.gov/watersense). If you bought your toilet pre-1994, it probably uses 3.5gpf or more, and you could be eligible for a rebate from your local water utility if you switch to a more efficient model....

The devices use a smelly bait to lure in wildlife before releasing deadly sodium cyanide into the mouth of any animal that takes a bite. Currently, the M-44s are used by Wildlife Services—a U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) agency that kills millions of animals every year using a variety of methods, ostensibly to protect livestock, according to the Center for Biological Diversity (CBD). Data from the agency suggests that these spring-loaded traps killed 6,579 animals in 2018—the majority of which were coyotes and foxes....

A year after becoming the first team in Premier League history to accumulate 100 points in a season, City amassed 98, pipping Liverpool to the title by one point in one of the tightest finishes to the Premier League in years. Captain and club icon Vincent Kompany has left Manchester to return to Belgium and his absence will be sorely felt both in the locker room and on the field....

Typically, the equine therapist does not offer solutions but gives a person a safe space to reflect on what they notice and feel during the session. This article explains what equine therapy treats, as well as what an equine therapist does during a session. It also discusses the training and certification process involved in becoming an equine-assisted psychotherapist. What Equine Therapists Treat Equine-facilitated psychotherapy has been found to be useful for treating people with a variety of conditions and/or concerns, such as:...

Eric Gavelek Munchel, 30, of Tennessee, was arrested in his state on Sunday and charged with “one count of knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority and one count of violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds,” the Department of Justice (DOJ) said in a statement. Authorities alleged that Munchel was inside the Capitol building during last Wednesday’s mob assault. “Photos depicting his presence show a person who appears to be Munchel carrying plastic restraints, an item in a holster on his right hip, and a cell phone mounted on his chest with the camera facing outward, ostensibly to record events that day,” the DOJ said....

President Donald Trump’s son told Fox News that, “based on engagements and likes” on his social media posts, he believed he and other right-wing commentators were being censored. Speaking to The Ingraham Angle show on Wednesday night, Trump said: “You better believe they also have their fingers on the dial. If I put something out that they disagree with, the numbers are down. I can just see it based on engagements and likes… they are censoring us, they don’t do it to the other side and its gross....

And it took just 36 minutes for the 22-year-old to open his Manchester City account, slotting a penalty into the bottom left corner after he was taken down in the box by West Ham goalkeeper Alphonse Areola. Just after the hour mark Haaland doubled his tally, latching onto a fine Kevin De Bruyne through ball and slotting it calmly into the same corner. Pep Guardiola deprived him of the chance to complete a hat-trick though, substituting the Norwegian off with 12 minutes of normal time to play....

Haaland has been almost constantly linked with a transfer over recent years, as he scores goals at a frightening rate for first Red Bull Salzburg and now Dortmund. Raiola feels his man is now ready for the “next step” and suggested most of Europe’s biggest sides would make bids - including Real Madrid, which GOAL has learned to be Haaland’s preferred next destination.

Erosive OA affects approximately 3% of the general population. Women are affected more than men. However, it should be noted that the definition of this condition is not completely agreed upon by experts. Advanced OA has a higher correlation with the occurrence of erosive changes, implying many people with erosive hand OA might actually have advanced hand OA. Also, there is significant debate over whether erosive OA is really its own disease or a phase of hand OA progression....

The Good Errol Spence Jr. silences the critics with career win. One of the burning questions entering his welterweight title bout with Shawn Porter was how Spence could deal with adversity if Porter used his aggression and high work rate to get inside? Spence started the fight by trying to work the jab, but to Porter’s credit, he feinted his way in and blasted the 2012 Olympian with hard punches after hard punches to the body and head....

There are two types: Interdigital erythrasma primarily develops between the toes, while generalized erythrasma is more widespread and commonly seen in people with type 2 diabetes. The rash itself is not considered serious but may serve as an early warning sign of a more serious condition. Symptoms Erythrasma starts as a pinkish patch of skin that quickly turns brown and scaly as the outer layers start to shed. The infection mainly occurs in so-called intertriginous areas where two skin areas touch or rub together....
