Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid shoved a newspaper columnist during an altercation Saturday, according to multiple reports. The altercation happened in the 76ers’ locker room after the team’s 124-107 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies on Saturday, according to multiple reporters who were in the locker room for a postgame media availability. Embiid reportedly shoved Marcus Hayes, a columnist for the Philadelphia Inquirer. In his column, Hayes mentioned Embiid’s son and late brother as reasons for why Embiid should start playing. Before the current season, Embiid said in an effort to help preserve his knees — which have both required surgery in the past — he would “probably never” play in back-to-back games again in his career.

Historical evidence then pointed the study authors to a Belgian tombstone export business thriving at the time, where they theorize the tombstone began its journey. Burial within a church was typically saved for high-status individuals and clergy, and Yeardley was one of two knights to die while the Jamestown church was in use, according to Jamestown Rediscovery. Colonial period cemeteries have suffered neglect and vandalism, with the Knight’s Tombstone likely surviving for as long as it did because vegetation concealed it, she added. It seems to be pretty inherent there in nature, but most (colonists) didn’t have the resources to import a nice carved stone,” Key said. “There were a lot of people being buried in the church, but only one of them had a big old black (limestone) tombstone from Belgium.”

New York CNN —Bed Bath & Beyond is coming back to a physical store near you after going out of business last year. As part of the investment, Bed Bath & Beyond branded kitchen, bath and bedroom products will soon be sold at the Container Store’s 102 locations. In May, the Container Store began a strategic review of its business as it struggles with slumping sales and hasn’t posted a profit in three years. For Bed Bath & Beyond (BYON), its rebirth from a bankrupt physical retailer to an e-commerce giant hasn’t lived up to its expectations. Shares of the Container Store (TCS) soared 40% in premarket trading Wednesday.
