Captain Cook's lost ship found off Rhode Island coast
The Australian National Maritime Museum recently announced the discovery of Captain James Cook's iconic shipwreck off the coast of Rhode Island, bringing a conclusion to a 250-year-old mystery. In a report published on June 3, the Australian National Maritime Museum explained that historical and archaeological evidence collected as part of an extensive project that spanned over two decades has led researchers to conclude that the RI 2394 shipwreck site in Newport Harbor, Rhode Island, is Cook's 'HMS Endeavour,' which was later renamed the 'Lord Sandwich' when the ship was used by the British. 'This final report is the culmination of 25 years of detailed and meticulous archaeological study on this important vessel,' Australian National Maritime Museum Director Daryl Karp said. Karp described the report as a 'definitive statement' regarding the search for the HMS Endeavour, which the Australian National Maritime Museum launched in 1999. The museum's director added that the search has 'involved underwater investigation in the US and extensive research in institutions across the globe.' According to The New York Post, the HMS Endeavour became famous for becoming the first European ship to circumnavigate New Zealand and land in the eastern part of Australia as part of an expedition that took place between 1768 and 1771.

The outlet noted that while researchers have known that the shipwreck of the HMS Endeavor was located off the coast of Rhode Island, the exact location of the shipwreck remained a mystery for roughly 250 years. According to the report, the shipwreck, which is located between 39 and 43 feet underwater, features a 'linear stone ballast pile, the eastern periphery of which features a line of partially exposed frame ends that are closely spaced and of substantial size.' 'Four iron cannons are also present on the site,' the museum added in the report. 'Two are largely exposed above the seabed and lie immediately adjacent to one another on the western side of the site.' The museum's report explains that by 2019, an investigation of the different shipwrecks located in the region led researchers to believe that RI 2394 was the 'most likely candidate' for the HMS Endeavour shipwreck. According to the report, the shipwreck's location satisfies 10 criteria previously agreed upon by different experts. According to the report, the measurements of the RI 2394 shipwreck also match the measurements recorded in a 1768 survey of the iconic ship.

Biden rides Amtrak to DC office; asks for ice cream; spotted 'talking in the quiet car'
Former President Joe Biden has been making weekly trips via Amtrak to his government-assigned office in Washington, DC, though little is publicly known about the nature of his work there. During one of these trips, an Amtrak passenger expressed frustration to The New York Post, saying, "He was talking in the quiet car!" — a major etiquette breach for regular riders. The 82-year-old, who frequently travelled this route to Delaware throughout his 36-year Senate tenure, seems unfamiliar with current cafe car selections. When he requested ice cream, his preferred treat, but had to settle for a muffin instead. The Acela's "quiet car" is positioned second, after first class, where conductors and passengers strictly maintain silence by hushing violators. Another passenger who observed Biden conversing in the quiet car defended him. "If he's talking, it's because he's constantly approached," the individual explained, noting that whispered conversations are permitted. — BidenActivities (@BidenActivities) Fellow passengers have documented his journeys through photographs, including a May 8 brief conversation with CNN's Dana Bash. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Stunning 2-Bed Senior Houses: Take A Peek Inside!

Biden, who abandoned his re-election campaign last year following allies' concerns about his cognitive state, visits DC approximately weekly for meetings, according to the Wall Street Journal's report last month. According to the New York Post, various former Biden White House staff members express curiosity about his activities at his temporary office near DC's Union Station. A person knowledgeable about Biden's schedule indicated he holds meetings with current and former staff, and communicates with Congressional members and Democratic leadership. "He's also been attending events which are sometimes coordinated through the office," the person said. "He was just in Galveston, Texas, to attend a Juneteenth service as a recent example. Separately, he's working on his book and library and foundation phases of post-presidency," the person added.

Wait, what? Fearing wife's wrath after fight, man sneaks into stranger's home, takes bath & cooks food; gets arrested
A 44-year-old man from Florida was arrested after breaking into a stranger's home in Davenport to avoid going back to his angry wife. The man, identified as Joe, reportedly stayed in the house for several days, cooked meals and even took a luxurious bath. The homeowner was away at the time, and a neighbour who had been asked to keep an eye on the property noticed unusual activity on 9 June. Concerned, they contacted the Polk County Sheriff's Office. When deputies arrived, they found the man cooking dinner and fresh out of the bath, according to a report by The New York Post. In a statement, the sheriff's office said Joe admitted he didn't have permission to be inside. 'Not only did he not have permission to be there, he also had no idea who owned the house,' they added. He told officers that he had a fight with his wife four days earlier and didn't want to face her, so he decided to take shelter in someone else's home. The sheriff's office quipped, recalling the fairy tale Goldilocks and the Three Bears: 'We assume the bath temperature was not too hot, nor too cold, but just right.' Joe was arrested and charged with felony unarmed burglary, misdemeanour petit theft, and domestic battery. A similar incident took place in March 2023, when a woman in Seattle discovered a burglar bathing in her home. The intruder had reportedly entered through a window. After spotting him, she called emergency services. Officers arrived and, after receiving no response, found the man resting in her bathtub.

Baldness Cure Found? New Treatment Triggers 100% Hair Regrowth In Mice
Scientists may have inadvertently discovered a new treatment for androgenetic alopecia, a common form of hair loss in both men and women. Researchers at San Carlos Clinical Hospital in Madrid have developed a potential cure that combines fat-tissue-derived stem cells and the energy molecule adenosine triphosphate (ATP). A study published in Stem Cell Research and Therapy reported significant hair regrowth in mice following the treatment. All male mice experienced hair regrowth, with half achieving full regrowth and the other half intensive regrowth. Among female mice, 90% showed intense or complete hair revival. Lead researcher Eduardo Lopez Bran explained that the method stimulates hair regeneration by combining the regenerative capacity of stem cells with the energy provided by ATP, favouring the recovery of hair follicles and promoting hair growth. While human trials are necessary, the results offer a promising step forward in addressing hair loss. While the findings will need to be replicated in human trials, the results pave a promising way forward in the fight against hair loss. "In the future, we will be able to offer new solutions that allow us to meet patients' expectations, allowing them access to new treatments that prioritize their well-being," Eduardo Lopez Bran told The New York Post. It's an exciting development in an area where there's plenty of room for growth. While hair transplant surgery is on the rise, many people don't realize that it actually often takes several procedures to achieve the desired result. "An alarming trend is patients who now go to perform a hair transplant by a physician who does not consult the patient about his or her hair loss nor is he actively involved in the surgery," Texas facial plastic surgeon and hair restoration expert Dr. Samuel Lam previously told The Post. He noted that this troubling practice is "most rampant" in Turkey - where hair transplant surgery has exploded due to its relative affordability - but it is "also extremely prevalent in the US, unfortunately."

What Michelle Obama Said About Not Having A Son With Husband Barack
Former First Lady Michelle Obama is "glad" she does not have a son with husband Barack Obama, the former President of the United States. On the latest episode of her podcast, IMO, she spoke at length about parenting and her experience of raising daughters. In conversation with her brother Craig Robinson and radio host Angie Martinez on IMO, the 61-year-old said had she given birth to a son, he would have turned out to be another Barack Obama. The light-hearted joke came after the Hot 97 radio host suggested she "should have thrown a boy in the mix". 'I'm so glad I didn't have a boy,' Ms Obama retorted, before adding, 'Because he would have been a Barack Obama,' looking down and nodding her head emphatically, The New York Post reported. Mr Martinez downplayed the remark with a laugh, saying the concept of a "Baby Barack" was 'amazing.' Ms Obama did not believe it to be a good idea and replied, 'No, I would have felt for him.' Michelle Obama often talks about her family, her relationship with Barack, and their challenges together. The Obamas married in 1992 and have two daughters: Sasha Obama, 24, and Malia Obama, 26. Given that Mr Robinson has three boys and Mr Martinez has one, the topic of the podcast involved raising boys. Ms Obama talked about the challenges of parenting boys, particularly with respect to teaching them how to interact with others and handle circumstances such as traffic stops. Before dismissing the notion of having a baby boy, Ms Obama stated, "Teach [your son] how to deal with the traffic stop, but also teach him how to communicate in a marriage and to be a listening father." Her remarks follow rumours of strain in her 32-year marriage to the former president. However, in a recent episode with rock icon Bruce Springsteen, Ms Obama referred to Barack as a "tremendous father" and praised his parenting skills. The couple has been spotted together on high-profile night outs in New York City and Washington, DC, in recent months. Ms Obama also said she was "transitioning" into a new stage of her life and currently undergoing therapy.
