The collision took place early in the game, when Tavares crashed into Montreal’s Ben Chariot and was hit in the head by Corey Perry’s knee as he went down. Toronto coach Sheldon Keefe said after the game that Tavares was going to spend the night at the hospital for further tests, but that everything had “come back clear” so far.

\u27a2 <\/span>A giant statue of Marilyn Monroe in her iconic dress-fluttering pose is making a comeback in the California desert, but some people aren\u2019t very happy about it. The 26-foot-tall stainless-steel effigy \u2014 titled \u201cForever Marilyn\u201d \u2014 has returned to the city of Palm Springs after a 7-year hiatus and has been placed in front of the entrance to the Palm Springs Art Museum, following a recent city council vote. But there\u2019s concern about where Marilyn\u2019s backside is facing \u2014 directly at the front doors of the museum. A local official says he is worried about the thousands of students who\u2019ll have to bear witness to Marilyn\u2019s derriere annually.<\/span>

Five Cleaning Mistakes You Didn’t Know You’re Making<\/b><\/p>\n

Have you ever cleaned something, and then your husband or wife came in and gave you that look like you could have done it better?\u00a0 Well, life is better without getting that look.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are five cleaning mistakes you might not even know you’re making . . .<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Dusting surfaces with a dry rag.\u00a0 It sends dust flying through the air, and a lot of it just resettles somewhere else.\u00a0 So sometimes it’s better to use a DAMP rag. \u00a0Especially if you have allergies.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Not cleaning your pillows.\u00a0 You should wash your pillowcases once a week.\u00a0 But what about the actual pillows?\u00a0 They collect a lot of bacteria and oil.\u00a0 So you should wash them every couple months.\u00a0 Just check the instructions on the tag.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

       <\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Cleaning stainless steel in a circular motion.\u00a0 It can leave marks.\u00a0 So instead, look for the grain in the steel, and scrub WITH the grain, not in a circle.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

         <\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Forgetting to clean your remotes and light switches.\u00a0 They’re two spots in our home we touch a LOT.\u00a0 And most people don’t clean them enough.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

           <\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Washing your windows on a sunny day.\u00a0 Glass cleaner dries too fast in direct sunlight, and leaves behind ugly streaks that can make your windows look even worse.\u00a0 So it’s better to wait for an overcast day, or clean them at night.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            GOOD NEWS\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

            “Alyssa”, an 11-year-old Florida girl fought off a would-be kidnapper while she was waiting for her school bus earlier this week.<\/span><\/p>\n

             <\/p>\n

            The guy pulled up in his car, chased her down and grabbed her, but she fought him off to the point that he just gave up and took off.<\/span><\/p>\n

             <\/p>\n

            Alyssa was playing with BLUE SLIME at the time, and during the struggle she rubbed it on his arm.\u00a0 And because of that, police were able to identify and arrest him later.\u00a0 Alyssa said she learned the trick from “Law & Order: SVU”.<\/span><\/p>\n

             <\/p>\n

            Well yesterday, MARISKA HARGITAY posted a message to her, saying, quote, “I am so honored to be part of your incredible story.\u00a0 You are one BRAVE, Strong and Smart young woman.<\/span><\/p>\n

            CHILLED VEGGIES:<\/b>
            \n<\/span>A salad a day may keep anxiety away. That\u2019s the takeaway from a new study that found what may be the secret to a healthier and happier life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

             <\/p>\n

            Researchers from Edith Cowan University found that eating more fruits and vegetables can help reduce the stress in our lives. In the study of 8,600 Australians, people who eat least 470 grams of fruit and vegetables per day have stress levels 10% lower than those eating less than 230 grams daily.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

             <\/p>\n

            The World Health Organizations recommends at least 400 grams of produce daily.<\/span><\/p>\n


            \n<\/span>It\u2019s still unclear how exactly fruits and vegetables benefits stress levels, but the scientists believe it must be linked to the consumption of key nutrients, which can reduce inflammation and oxidative stress and therefore improve mental wellbeing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

             <\/p>\n

            The researchers say: \u201cInflammation and oxidative stress in the body are recognized factors that can lead to increased stress, anxiety and lower mood.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

                    BLAKE SHELTON RELEASES ‘BODY LANGUAGE’ ALBUM TODAY\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

                    Blake Shelton<\/b>\u00a0releases his new album,\u00a0<\/span>Body Language<\/span><\/i>, today (Friday May 21st). The pandemic certainly gave him more time to record the album, but he tells us, he’s been working on it for the past couple of years.\u00a0<\/span>[\u201cYou know, I can\u2019t sit here and say that this album was created during the pandemic, because it dates back way further than that. We\u2019ve actually been working on this album for probably over 2 years now, I think, and we\u2019ve recorded parts of it in Nashville, Oklahoma, Los Angeles, some of it out on the road that I don\u2019t even remember where we were, but we were definitely able to focus in and finish the album during this pandemic. I think we only actually recorded 3 songs during the pandemic, believe it or not. Just been waiting for the right time to release this music.\u201d]\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

                    Body Language<\/span><\/i>\u00a0is Blake\u2019s 12th studio album.<\/span><\/p>\n

                    It includes the chart-topping hit \u201cHappy Anywhere\u201d featuring\u00a0<\/span>Gwen Stefani<\/b>, as well as his current single \u201cMinimum Wage.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

                    He talked about it on\u00a0<\/span>CLINT BLACK’s<\/b>\u00a0upcoming series\u00a0<\/span>“Taking In Circles”<\/i><\/b>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Quote<\/b><\/a>, “[In] the very first meeting about the record I said ‘What do you do if you’re the low guy? \u00a0What do you do if you’re the new guy?’<\/span><\/p>\n

                    “They were like, ‘Well, you do a radio tour. \u00a0But we didn’t think you would do that.’ \u00a0And I said, ‘Light it up.'” \u00a0Darius did a massive radio tour because he wanted to earn his way onto the airwaves like everybody else.<\/span><\/p>\n

                    Quote, “[I] was like, ‘if you play my song, great. \u00a0If not, hey man we had a beer, it was cool.’\u00a0 We went around with that attitude, and people liked the song.”<\/span><\/p>\n
