20-foot whale dies after being hit by a boat in NJ: Officials
The incident happened around 3:40 p.m., when a vessel struck a 20-foot minke whale, according to the center. The boat almost capsized and the whale died, officials said.

The whale was found on a sandbar outside the channel. The whale will be moved on Monday and the Marine Mammal Stranding Center will conduct a necropsy to determine how it died.
'Boaters should be advised to use caution in the area north of Double Creek Channel in Barnegat Bay and to keep a minimum of 150 feet away from the whale carcass for your safety,' representatives of the center said in a post to Facebook.
A video posted to social media seemingly shows the incident, as a whale struggles near the back of the boat and a person falls off the back of the boat. Onlookers can be heard yelling 'shut the motor off' and 'man overboard' before the whale struggles to swim off.

Man Asks Wife to Stop Sharing Their Arguments with Her Sister and Giving a ‘Front-Row Seat to Every Flaw I Have'
'She said I was 'trying to isolate her' and being controlling,' the husband recalledNEED TO KNOW A Reddit user explained that he would like his wife to keep their private life, including arguments, between the two of them The husband said his sister-in-law 'has been getting a running commentary of our marriage from my wife's side only' His wife said he is ' 'trying to isolate her' and being controlling,' he recalled after he requested her to stopA husband is uncomfortable with his wife's sister seemingly having 'a front-row seat to every flaw' he has in his marriage. The 38-year-old man explained on Reddit's 'Am I the A------' forum that his 35-year-old spouse has been sharing 'basically every argument we have, big or small,' with her sibling whenever he's not around to defend himself. 'We're not constantly fighting or anything, but like any couple, we have our moments — stuff like me forgetting to take out the trash, getting the wrong cereal or spacing out during a conversation,' he wrote. 'Her sister used to be super warm with me, but lately, she's been cold, even passive-aggressive, and it didn't click until I realized she's been getting a running commentary of our marriage from my wife's side only,' he added.

He then asked his wife to keep their private life between the two of them. 'I wasn't yelling or accusing, just trying to express how it feels to be seen as the 'bad guy' over minor stuff that gets retold out of context,' he said. 'She said I was 'trying to isolate her' and being controlling.' 'To be clear: I don't care if she vents now and then, or leans on her sister during tough times. I just feel like there's a difference between support and giving someone a front-row seat to every flaw I have,' he continued. The husband admitted that he is getting anxious at gatherings for feeling judged by someone — his sister-in-law — who he didn't marry. Pondering if he's being unreasonable, he asked Redditors, 'Am I the a------ for asking her to keep our relationship a little more private?' One reader replied, 'Your wife is weaponizing therapy language here. It's completely reasonable to ask your partner to keep private disagreements private. We all need outside advice now and then, but some privacy in a relationship is also warranted. It's also unfair that your wife was sharing all these presumed-private interactions without you knowing about it.' 'Again, she doesn't need to clear her conversation topics with you, but it feels like she at least should have been upfront with the fact that her sister hears absolutely everything,' the Redditor continued. Another person commented, 'Ask your wife how she would feel if you were relaying every disagreement the two of you have to your family's group chat. Let her know going forward you will not engage with her family ever again while she continues to poison them against you.' Still, a third commenter offered a different perspective. "Generally speaking if someone is happy in their marriage they may vent occasionally about their partner but they don't discuss every single interaction outside the home," they wrote. "If even small things are angering your wife enough that she feels the need to have a running diatribe about you to her sister then she is not happy at all." "It's not wrong to ask for some aspects of your relationship to be private but you should really try to find out why she is so unhappy. Maybe marriage counseling would be a good start," they concluded. Read the original article on People Solve the daily Crossword

6 Things You'll Be Glad You Cleaned Before The First Day Of School
We look forward to starting fresh with a new school year. Often that means new school supplies, a new set of fall clothes, and a new collection of recipes for the slow cooker. We also appreciate things that last more than a season or two, considering how fast our kids outgrow clothes. If a child's favorite backpack and pencil case are holding up, there's no reason to replace them. We also can't deny they get really grubby after months of use. Make sure to clean these six things before the first day of school so your child can begin the year with a clean slate. Back Packs You tossed out the squashed banana and spilled snack bags eons ago, but did you ever get around to deep cleaning your child's backpack? Now is the time. Unzip all pockets and remove every trinket. Shake out the crumbs over the trash. Follow that up by soaking your child's backpack in lukewarm, soapy water in the sink for at least half an hour. Then scrub all the seams and pockets with a sponge, rinse well, and hang the backpack to dry. You can take a shortcut with many backpacks and toss them in the washing machine on a gentle cycle. Lunch Boxes If the kids have been in summer camp, their lunch boxes definitely need a good cleaning. Crumbs get stuck in the seams, the linings smell, and the exteriors get gray and grimy. Soak and scrub lunch boxes, bento boxes, reusable snack bags, and other lunch-related accessories in the sink as described above. Water Bottles Water bottles are germ factories that should be sanitized before you send them off to school. If the water bottles aren't dishwasher safe, you can use a 50/50 mix of white vinegar and hot water and let them soak overnight. Then wash with soapy water and bottle brushes, making sure to get inside straws and crevices. Rinse water bottles and let them dry completely before refilling them. Desks Kids are much more likely to want to spend time at a clean and organized desk. Encourage them to help with emptying out and cleaning drawers (a vacuum cleaner and crevice attachment will work wonders here). Let them pick out a fun organizer for additional storage. Hang a bulletin board or shelf for your child to decorate as they please. Car Seats We might as well call them crumb collectors. Car seats are usually messy, even more so after a few summer road trips. This is a great time to throw seat covers in the wash and wipe boosters down with a sponge. You may find yourself cleaning out the whole back seat while you're at it. Gym Shoes Unless you've got a brand new pair of sneakers in a box, we can practically guarantee your child's shoes are covered in dirt. Do the gym teacher (and the janitors) a favor here and clean those gym shoes a couple of days in advance so they have time to dry. Start by brushing or scraping off as much dust and dirt as you can. Soak the shoes in soapy water, then use a sponge or soft brush to clean them. Rinse and let them dry. If they're smelly, you can also sprinkle some baking soda inside the shoes and then shake them out before the first day of school.
