From Denzel Washington, and Brad Pitt, to Halle Berry, and Emily Blunt, there is one thing all of these Hollywood stars have in common. That is, having to refuse a role at one point in their careers. While some are glad about their decisions, thinking later how they dodged a bullet, for some it became the greatest regret of their lives. Brad Pitt as Neo in The Matrix, Emily Blunt as the Black Widow, and Halle Berry as the woman driving the bus full of explosives opposite Keanu Reeves in Speed, were supposed to be the original versions of the movies. Halle Berry,…
Chelsea are ‘looking to sell Ruben Loftus-Cheek this summer’, but may struggle to find a club willing to match his £150,000-per-week wages despite ‘interest in the midfielder from AC Milan.’ The 27-year-old has never been able to nail down a regular spot at Stamford Bridge, and the Blues are willing to lose him in order to slim down their squad and wage bill. Loftus-Cheek has made 20 league appearances this season, but is unlikely to thrive in a squad that also includes the likes of N’Golo Kante and Enzo Fernandez. Despite this, reports in the Evening Standard suggest the midfielder is unwilling to leave his…
Candace Owens scares the women of “The View.” The trio of twisted leftists that is Whoopi, Joy, and Sunny have made it clear: If the network hires her, they’ll quit. “She’s a MAGA extremist who sells nonsense to numbskulls,” said Whoopi, “There’s no way I’ll sit at a table and take her seriously.” “I can’t do it,” said Joy, “she’s awful. She’s just gonna go off the handle and scream all the time.” Sunny Hostin had nothing to add other than to declare Owens a “trailer to people of color.” As for Owens, she says she doesn’t care if they…
The large number of us begin our lives on this world by being born into a loving family. We are cared for from the start, and we are provided all we require to flourish. Unfortunately, such was not the case for Freddie Figgers, 32. In fact, nothing about his existence could be described as “normal.” Figgers was discovered on the street as a baby after his birth mom left him since she didn’t want him. His mother tossed him out like regular garbage, he claims. He is not meant to be here, he explained. Nathan and Betty Figgers, on the…
Security footage from the scene shows the good Samaritan jumping into action just in the nick of time as the stroller rolls down a driveway into a busy road A California man is being praised after saving a baby in a stroller from veering into oncoming traffic. A woman was unloading her car outside of the A1 Hand Car Wash in Hesperia earlier this week when the stroller began rolling backwards toward the busy roadway, according to CW affiliate KTLA and ABC affiliate KABC-TV. Inside was her great-nephew, CBS affiliate KCBS-TV reported. Security footage from the scene shows the woman running after the…
Mary outlived the average life expectancy of a female Asian elephant by 12 years, according to the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance PHOTO: SAN DIEGO ZOO WILDLIFE ALLIANCE The San Diego Zoo is mourning the loss of its 59-year-old Asian elephant. “The San Diego Zoo family is heartbroken to share the passing of Mary, a geriatric Asian elephant,” the California zoo said in a statement on Facebook and Instagram. “Mary had been under veterinary care, including hydrotherapy and physical therapy to alleviate age-related joint ailments for some time,” the statement read. “Unfortunately, despite these therapies, Mary’s mobility had declined, affecting her daily activity.…
The X-43A on its record-setting flight. “Our autopilot worked on the first try, which is amazing given that a vehicle like this had never been flown before. MathWorks tools helped us design and implement control systems that kept the vehicle stable throughout the flight.” Dave Bose, Analytical Mechanics Associates On November 16, 2004, NASA made history by launching the X-43A, the first-ever air-breathing hypersonic vehicle, into the atmosphere, achieving Mach 10 speed. The X-43A separated from its booster and accelerated on scramjet power at nearly ten times the speed of sound (7000 MPH) at roughly 110,000 feet. The experiment…
The moments when a jet fighter created a vapour cone as it approached the sound barrier have been captured in stunning detail in a set of photos – but it is not the moment the jet broke the sound barrier, as such images are commonly mislabelled. When a plane travels at high speeds the change in pressure can cause water to condense around the vehicle, making an odd conical shape often associated with breaking the sound barrier. However the effect occurs before the plane exceeds the speed of sound. That moment, though, is accompanied by a ‘sonic boom’, which will…
If successful, history will be made again, Nergis Firtina reports for Interesting Engineering. With the help of NASA’s QueSST mission, aeronautical innovators hope to break the sound barrier once more, but this time in a totally different fashion that could one day allow all of us to fly by air at speeds equal to or faster than any of the X-1 pilots who went supersonic, Nergis Firtina reports for Interesting Engineering. Continue reading original article. The Military & Aerospace Electronics take: “That first supersonic flight was such a tremendous achievement, and now you look at how far we’ve come since then. What…
Chelsea news: The Blues will need to switch things up in order to get a first win in nearly two months Mykhailo Mudryk is one of four players that need to start for Chelsea more often (Image: Chris Lee – Chelsea FC/Chelsea FC via Getty Images) Chelsea start their 34th game of the season level on points with Bournemouth. Given the run of fixtures left to go it’s not unfeasible that they finish below the Cherries.

Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani sent shockwaves through the transfer market after reports emerged that he was targeting a stunning move for Kylian Mbappe, should the Qatari’s £5billion takeover bid for Manchester United be successful. And Mbappe was not the only high profile target to appear on his radar, with a potential bumper transfer window on the horizon for the Red Devils. However, whatever optimism was generated by the rumour was perhaps stymied by the fact that the club’s war chest will be limited to just £100million, due to Financial Fair Play (FFP) constraints. As a result, a clear out of the squad will likely be…

A Texas man’s first solo flight with his young son was a success thanks to the kindness of the stranger seated next to him. Evan Hughes, 32, of Fort Worth, was flying home to Dallas Love Field Airport earlier this month with his 8-month-old son, Ki, after visiting friends in Chicago. Hughes was forced to take a separate flight from his wife, Kari, due to a winter weather storm that upended their travel plans. Since Hughes’ flight was scheduled to arrive earlier than his wife’s, he was tasked with traveling alone with Ki from Chicago to Atlanta and then Atlanta to…

A few months ago, Rebecca, a mother of two made a decision to invite her 3-year-old daughter, Hunter to be present during her home birth.
