\u27a2 When a woman told a wildlife official, she thought she’d seen a wolverine on the beach of Washington state’s Long Beach Peninsula they didn’t believe her.<\/p>\n
The creatures live in remote mountainous areas and any sightings — let alone on a beach — are rare, then she showed them a picture.<\/p>\n
Jeff Lewis, a conservation biologist said that he confirmed the animal was indeed a wolverine. There are only around 20 of the mammals in the entire state. They are usually roaming in the remote mountainous areas of the North Cascades not on the sandy beach.<\/p>\n
Scientists believe there are only 300 of the species left in the US<\/p>\n

\u27a2 An Idaho man drank a liter of lemon juice through a straw in under 17 seconds for a Guinness World Record. David Rush, who has broken more than 100 Guinness records to promote STEM education, emptied the glass containing a whole liter of 100 percent lemon juice in 16.53 seconds. Rush’s time bested the previous record of 17.12 seconds, set by Andre Ortolf. Rush said he kept from throwing up after finishing the juice, but his stomach discomfort lasted until the next day.<\/p>\n

Researchers tested storing tomatoes at about 44 degrees Fahrenheit and 68 degrees Fahrenheit and had expert food tasters weigh in. The tasters reported \u201cno significant difference in flavor\u201d between the two. The tasters rated the tomatoes on characteristics such as sweetness, acidity, and juiciness for the test. Lead study author Larissa Kanski adds, \u201cIt is the variety of tomato in particular that has an important influence on the flavor. The shorter the storage period, the better it is for the flavor and related attributes. However, we were able to show that, taking into account the entire post-harvest chain, short-term storage of ripe tomatoes in the refrigerator did not affect the flavor.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n THE OTHER CADBURY SECRET:<\/u><\/strong> ____________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n YOU SHOULD STILL TAKE VACATION DAYS DURING THE PANDEMIC <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n If you\u2019ve been working from home for the past several weeks you might be thinking there\u2019s no need to take vacation time, but you should.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Kenadi Silcox explains, \u201cThink of a regular vacation you\u2019d take.

It was done to clear the way so that Trump could walk to St. John’s Episcopal Church. The bishop of the Episcopal Diocese that St. John’s belongs to,\u00a0Reverend Mariann Budde<\/strong>, said afterward that she was, quote, “outraged” that Trump used the church that way,\u00a0saying church officials hadn’t been told it was going to happen.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Baseball Players Want the Ability to Opt Out of Playing Over COVID-19 Risks<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Whether there’s baseball or not this year depends a lot on the players, and if they’re willing to play during the pandemic.<\/p>\n The players union is now\u00a0pushing<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0for a 114-game season that would start June 30th.\u00a0\u00a0(A normal season is 162 games.)<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0 But they want all players to be able to OPT OUT if they think it’s unsafe.\u00a0 And some of them would still get paid.<\/p>\n Players with health issues or high-risk family members could opt out and still get a paycheck, which wasn’t in the owners’ proposal.\u00a0 Anyone else would forfeit their salary.<\/p>\n Another sticking point is the number of games.\u00a0 Last month, team owners pushed for an 82-game season, and claimed anything beyond that would be too expensive without live fans buying tickets.\u00a0 But the players want more games so they can make more money.<\/p>\n

\n<\/u>Cadbury has finally answered the ages-old question of whether or not chocolate should be stored in the cupboard or the fridge. It seems some people like their chocolate cold, giving it a snap-like effect when they eat it. And others prefer it to melt-in-the-mouth (and to be easier on the teeth, too). The answer? According to Cadbury, chocolate should be kept in the cupboard. When asked the question on Twitter, the chocolate-maker responded: \u201cChocolate should always be stored in a slightly cool, dry, dark place such as cupboard or pantry at temperatures less than 21\u00b0C to ensure the quality isn\u2019t compromised.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
