Particularly popular in recent days have been tributes including toys of the character Paddington Bear and wrapped marmalade sandwiches in reference to the famous bear. Since the monarch’s death at the age of 96 on Thursday, social media has been flooded with links between the classic character and the late queen. The fictional bear and the queen have been particularly linked since a 2022 skit was aired on BBC television during the Platinum Party at the Palace in celebration of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee....

Jose Fernandez, who died with two others early Sunday in a boating accident off Miami Beach, had been scheduled to take the ball against the Mets. The Marlins’ scheduled series-ending game against the Braves on Sunday was cancelled to allow the team — and South Florida as well as Major League Baseball and fans everywhere — to momentarily mourn the loss of a rising star at only 24. The relative moment of silence in the schedule ends at 7:10 p....

Last week AOL Moviefone added speech recognition to its New York City and New Jersey locations, with plans to roll it out to more than 35 major markets over the course of the next year. To try it out, we called up the service, pressed a key to get to the movie selection menu that shouts, “please say the name of the movie you would like to see now,” and replied “Frequency....

The worm, Pseudoterranova azarasi, is a type of parasitic worm that normally uses marine mammals such as walruses and seals as hosts. It can, however, be acquired by humans through the consumption of raw fish or squid. It is a rarely reported member of the Anisakidae family, which are intestinal roundworms that can cause anisakiasis—an infection of the gastrointestinal tract. In a case study published in The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, Sho Fukui and colleagues from St....

The clash at the London Stadium falls one day after the fifth anniversary of David Moyes’ appointment as United manager, and his West Ham side this week confirmed their place in the top flight next term with a 2-0 win at Leicester City. But United are coming off an exasperatingly poor display at Brighton on Friday which resulted in a 1-0 loss. The reverse at the Amex was the Red Devils’ 12th league defeat in Jose Mourinho’s two-year tenure, a statistic which looks remarkable when set alongside Moyes’ record of 11 losses in 34 Premier League games in charge of United between 2013 and 2014....

Ultimately, McMahon’s illegitimate son was revealed to be Hornswoggle. The former Money in the Bank winner was a guest on this week’s episode of Sportskeeda Wrestling’s UnSKripted. He answered quite a few questions, including one on his thoughts about Hornswoggle replacing him as the illegitimate son. Here is what he said:...

Most recently, MrBeast drew heat on the internet for his recent video in which he paid for cataract surgery for a thousand people. While the surgery did restore the sight of many, some were agitated by the video. They argued that MrBeast’s efforts weren’t philanthropic and were just an effort to gain attention and fame. However, others were simply infuriated with the idea that there are people who are blind when a cure is out there, simply because they can’t afford the treatment....

PewDiePie did not go down without a fight, however. The controversial YouTuber created diss raps and even a sarcastic, insult-filled song wishing T-Series “congratulations” for beating his subscriber count. Since then, PewDiePie has claimed that he’s retired from YouTube, though he still uploads videos to his channel regularly. In the years since T-Series beat PewDiePie’s total subscriber count, he’s also been surpassed by Cocomelon, Sony Entertainment Television India, and finally, MrBeast, making PewDiePie the fifth-most subscribed channel on YouTube....

A coaching centre dedicated solely to recognise and groom pace bowlers for the national cricket team, MRF Pace Foundation was the beginning of one of the biggest changes the Indian cricket was about to undergo. Over the years, the coaching academy signed agreements with the Cricket Boards of six other nations. This coaching centre soon became the haven for the young pace bowlers who went on to redefine pace bowling in cricket and their speed was feared....

Green landed awkwardly on the leg as he was fouled in the third quarter of Tuesday’s season opener against the Houston Rockets. He stayed in the game to take the free throws but soon left and did not return because of what the Warriors described as a knee strain. Afterward, he told reporters: “I’ll be good. I’m fine.” Green, though, is considered doubtful for Friday’s contest with the New Orleans Pelicans....

Move up the order Of late, many have been clamouring for the Jharkhand native to bat higher up the order in the shortest format of the game. I tend to agree with this school of thought, in particular because I believe Dhoni bats at a position he is just not suited for. He is a power hitter, not a grafter. His task is to accelerate the scoring rate, not slow it down....

It is noteworthy to mention that the former India captain has already expressed his desire to establish a world-class cricket academy in the heavenly state of Jammu & Kashmir. The eminent stumper is looking forward to formally consult the Sports Ministry of India regarding his future endeavour.

It was Sourav Ganguly who backed young players like Harbhajan Singh, Virender Sehwag, Zaheer Khan, Yuvraj Singh, etc. who became an instrumental part of the team that won the 2011 World Cup under the leadership of MS Dhoni. Zaheer Khan was the reason MS Dhoni became a successful Test captain: Gautam Gambhir MS Dhoni is the only captain to have won all the important ICC white-ball tournaments - the T20 World Cup, the ODI World Cup and the Champions Trophy....

Actually, the business has been very good to Braxton. Her sultry 1993 debut album sold 7 million copies and won three Grammys. Her new follow-up, “Secrets,” is another warm bath of R&B, full of sad love songs that ask, How’m I gonna go on? (Braxton wrote four tunes; three others were written by Babyface, whose heart exists only to be broken.) Braxton isn’t an overly showy singer like some of her soul mates....

The show started with a brilliant premise and lived up to its hype in the two episodes it has released so far. The second episode saw Kamala try out her luck as a superhero for the first time with hilarious and ambiguous results. Marvel has already established how difficult it is to be a superhero, even with superpowers. Kamala’s exploits ended in a bigger crisis at the last moment, opening up a whole lot of possibilities for the series....

Benjamin Wittes, a senior fellow in Governance Studies at the Brookings Institution, appeared on MSNBC’s Morning Joe on Thursday to discuss Trump’s controversial phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. “There are Republicans, there are Trump pundits going on television to say there is nothing to see here—literally nothing. With a legal eye, is there nothing to see here?” co-host Mike Brzezinski asked. “In one sentence, five potentially impeachable offenses within that document or at least things that Congress would want to think about in that context,” Wittes told the panel of guests....

“It was staggering to see an American president attack another American president on the world stage,” Scarborough said during a segment of Morning Joe on Tuesday morning. “I’ve never seen it before,” the former Republican congressman who now identifies as an independent continued, pointing out that the attack came “in defense of an autocrat,” a reference to Russian President Vladimir Putin. Mike Barnacle, an MSNBC contributor who regularly appears on Morning Joe, agreed....

Asif confirmed he had to take a return flight home from Dubai. I didn’t have a particular letter from their ministry of foreign affairs which I apparently required to enter Dubai, Asif said. The pacer, who served a five-year ban for spot-fixing between 2010 and 2015, required additional clearance to enter the emirates as in 2008 he had been detained and sent to jail after a small quantity of opium was found in his pocket....
