What's going on with Leon?
November 22, 2022 / sunilagni / 2 Comments
The star forward is among the league leaders in points, but his production and on-ice numbers at even-strength are lower that expected. It's critical for the coaching staff and management to figure out what's going on with Draisaitl if they want their 5v5 numbers to improve.
There's obviously a lot of team-wide issues right now for the Edmonton Oilers, as the club ranks fifth in the Pacific with a 0.526 points percentage and ninth in the western conference. Defensive play has been poor, the offence has dried up, and there's plenty of questions about the roster construction and the potential internal solutions. It'll be interesting to see how the coaching staff and management navigate things in such a high pressure season.
Even-strength (5v5) play is the biggest point of weakness for the club as they're getting out-shot, out-chanced and out-scored regularly – ranking in the bottom third of the league when it comes to performance indicators that drive positive results. And it'll need to improve if the Oilers want to keep up with the top teams in the league.
One player in particular that is currently struggling playing even-strength minutes is Leon Draisaitl. He's a proven star in the league and can improve the team's odds of winning games. And he's among the league leader in points this season because of his dominance on the powerplay. But his even-strength numbers this season, including his personal numbers and his on-ice numbers, have been poor compared to his previous three seasons – and it's part of the reason why the Oilers are struggling to win games.
Starting with his personal numbers, Draisaitl currently has nine even-strength points which ranks fourth on the Oilers – a points per hour rate of 1.85. That's a drop from the 2.68 points per hour from his previous three seasons – a level that top line, star forwards typically produce at. Heading into this current season, Draisaitl's rate of points ranked 17th among over 500 forwards who played at least 1,000 minutes since 2019, a period in which he's accumulated the third highest number of points in the league. His current rate of 1.85 ranks 131st among 324 players who have played at least 200 minutes this year – not anywhere near where he should be considering his history.
What's driving his drop in production is his individual rate of shots per hour which has decreased from 6.43 per hour over the last three seasons to 5.56. And his shooting percentage is also lower than expected, currently sitting at 14.81%. Considering his age and his talent, you would expect to see his rate of shots and his shooting percentage to gradually improve, resulting in better productivity over the course of the season. But there's a couple other issues to consider.
One reason for his lower rate of shots per hour this season is the fact that the Oilers are spending a significant amount of time without the puck when he's on the ice, as reflected by the team's Corsi For percentage (a proxy for puck possession) of 42.83%. The team is also getting out-chanced more regularly when Draisaitl is on the ice with, as reflected by their 43.19% share of expected goals (a proxy for scoring chances and shot quality) – which again is a drop from the levels we've seen with him on the ice over the last three seasons. All of Draisaitl's on-ice shot-share numbers (i.e., Corsi For%, Fenwick For%, Expected Goals For%) are some of the lowest on the team, only ahead of Holloway and Shore. And it's on the defensive side of things where the Oilers are really struggling with Draisaitl, as they see more than a 17% increase in the rate of shot attempts, unblocked shot attempts and shots on goal against with their star forward on the ice. The rate of expected goals against this season – which factors in shot quality and scoring chances against – increases by 26% with Draisaitl on the ice, going from 2.78 per hour to 3.51.
Draisaitl's poor on ice numbers at even-strength is pretty significant considering the expectations on him as a player and the team this season. The Oilers top six is supposed to be one of the best in the league, but it's hard to accomplish anything when a star forward is struggling and the team is failing to control the flow of play and total scoring chances with him on the ice.
What's worth noting is that Draisaitl is struggling with pretty much every linemate and defenceman on the Oilers, unable to post shot-share numbers like Corsi For% and Expected Goals For% above the 50% break-even mark, regardless of the player he's with.
The one player that Draisaitl is having success with this season is Bouchard, as they've played 90 minutes together and posted a Corsi For percentage of 51.71% and an Expected Goals For percentage of 52.26 – both numbers being well above the team's current averages. With Nurse having his own issues and posting some of his worst on-ice numbers in his career this season, it might be beneficial to the team, and especially for Draisaitl, if Bouchard saw an increase in his even-strength minutes and more time with the top lines.
Whatever the coaching staff and management decide to do to improve the team, whether it's internal or external solutions, it's important to have a firm grasp of the real issues plaguing the team and implementing changes that help improve the odds of winning games. Considering their poor results and underlying numbers at even-strength – where 80% of the game is played – it's critical they focus here first and find tactical and deployment solutions as soon as possible.

Really can't emphasize enough how much of a drop off there's been when comparing this season's results to last season after the coaching change occurred. One of the biggest improvements the Edmonton Oilers made after Jay Woodcroft took over in February 2022 – and what helped drive the overall results – was the team's possession and scoring chance numbers at even-strength as the club went from around league-average levels to being one of the best in the league.
After the coaching change last season, the Oilers played more aggressively with leads, they spread out their offence across multiple lines and their depth players weren't getting out-shot and out-chanced as much as they had been in previous seasons. All of these coaching-driven factors played a major role in the overall results at the end of the 2021/22 regular season, and the process behind it all was based on sound logic and reasoning.
Fast forward to this season, and the team isn't anywhere near where they were in the final thirty-eight games of last season. Their possession numbers and share of scoring chances are currently some of the lowest in the league, with their Corsi For percentage dropping down from 53.71% last season to 47.76% this season. And their share of expected goals is down to 46.29% – which ranks 26th in the league only ahead of Anaheim in the Pacific division.
Now it's understandable if the Oilers defensive play gets most of the attention as the results are what stands out first. They're currently allowing the seventh highest rate of goals against at even-strength (2.78), and their penalty kill is allowing 12.04 goals against per hour – the third highest in the league. Management didn't exactly build a strong, championship caliber defence core either and we've seen established players struggle throughout this season and some of the young prospects struggle to gain traction at the NHL level. The team also spent a lot of money on a new starting goalie who is struggling early on this season – which was also somewhat expected.
When we dig into the actual results, we see that they're somewhat expected as the club is having all sorts of issues preventing shots and scoring chances at even-strength, with their rates all having increased by a significant margin compared to last season. For instance, the rate of expected goals against – which factors in shot quality and the probability of an unblocked shot becoming a goal – has increased by 17.4% this season. The table below shows the other defensive numbers from this season and the thirty eight games under Woodcroft from last season with percentage changes.
What's further troubling are the issues up front.
With arguably one of the best top-six forward groups in the league, and with the powerplay having a lot of success and McDavid and Draisaitl leading the league in points – it can generally be assumed that the Oilers offence is and will be just fine. But if we take a look at the numbers at even-strength, that's really not the case. And things have taken a significant hit compared to last season, similar to the levels experienced on the defensive side of things.
The Oilers are only scoring 2.26 goals per hour at even-strength, which ranks 24th in the league and last in the Pacific division. The biggest issue is that they generate some of the lowest rates of shot attempts, shots on goal and scoring chances – all of which have dropped over 10% compared to last season. The Oilers current offensive rates have them in the bottom third in the league for each category – a big drop off from the end of last season where they were closer to the top five in the league after Woodcroft took over.
You'd hope someone in the Oilers management group is aware of this situation and is questioning (a) how the roster was built the way it was, and (b) the coaching tactics and player deployment that is being implemented. There's a significant problem in Edmonton both offensively and defensively, and it's critical for the team to get things on track if they want to be considered a championship contender.

Bringing it home
November 15, 2022 / sunilagni / Leave a comment
When talking about the Oilers struggles this season at his media availability this afternoon, Woodcroft commented about the success the Oilers have had on the road this season and wanting to make their home arena a tougher place to play in for opponents.
The good news is that we've demonstrated a competitiveness, a will to win, a finding a way to win. Our level of simplicity and effectiveness on the road where we're 5-2, we got to bring that home. And we got to figure out a way to make this the toughest arena in the National Hockey League to come into. We've done that in the past, we got to do it again. And I think that comes down to a level of consistency and building a level of consistency in your game. (Source)
Had to take a look at the data to see what exactly the difference was between the Oilers performance at home versus on the road, expecting to see some differences. But that's not exactly what the data shows.
2022/23 Record Points% Goals For/Goals Against
Home 4-5-0 0.444 34-34
Road 5-2-0 0.714 25-24
While the Oilers have had more success on the road so far this season, there's not much that you can take away and build off of or want to replicate at home. Their overall goal differential is only marginally better on the road, and it's it's worth noting that their underlying numbers at even-strength (5v5) inidicate that their results are unsustainable.
Oilers – 2022/23 (5v5) Home Road
Corsi For% 48.87 45.18
Fenwick For% 47.56 45.11
Expected Goals For% 48.61 43.18
Goals for/against 17-21 12-14
Goals for% 44.74 46.15
Shooting% 7.23 8.62
Save% 90.65 92.81
PDO 0.979 1.014
The Oilers are currently one of the worst teams on the road when it comes to controlling the flow of play and total scoring chances as reflected by their 45% Corsi For percentage and Fenwick For percentage. They have a -2 goal differential at even-strength as well, which again is only slightly better than their -4 goal differential at home.
The real reason they're having success on the road is their goaltending, which is posting a 92.81% save percentage. Reason for that is Skinner who has played four of the Oilers seven road games while Campbell, who has struggled so far this season, has played seven of the nine home games. So if there's anything the Oilers can take away from their road success, it's that they should play Skinner more often at home.
Other than that, the Oilers don't have any real strengths on the road. I'd be curious to hear Woodcroft elaborate on his comments and see if there's anything tangible he'd like his team to improve on.

Sixteen games into the 2022/23 season and the Oilers haven't established a whole lot. They have some points in the banks, have had some big wins, namely two on the road in Tampa and Florida. And their two superstars are leading the league in points. But the team hasn't rounded themselves into proper form or made any sort of statement that they're contending for a title.
So far at even-strength (5v5), they have a -6 goal differential, a goal-share of 45.31% that ranks 24th in the league and only ahead of Anaheim and San Jose in the Pacific division. The big issue right now is that they spend more time without the puck as reflected by their 47.32% Corsi For percentage, that ranks 24th in the league. And they allow the fifth highest rate of shots and scoring chances against leaguewide – currently giving up 47 unblocked shot attempts (i.e., Fenwick) per hour and allowing 34 shots on goal against per hour. Important to note that the Oilers are getting league-average goaltending at even-strength with their team save percentage of 91.61% ranking 16th in the league. And the team is posting a shooting percentage also around league average (7.78%). The struggles appear to be a system and deployment issue, something the coaching staff has a strong influence on, so the focus for now really should be there.
Below is a summary of the Oiler's numbers ar even-strength (5v5), with the shot-share metrics being score and venue adjusted according to Natural Stat Trick's method. I've also included the Oiler's even-strength numbers from the 38 regular season games from last season that Woodcroft coached. That's really the baseline that the Oilers should be working towards as we know the team is capable of playing at that level for an extended period of time.
Season GP Point % CF% FF% xGF% Goal diff. GF% SH% SV% PDO
2021/22 38 0.724 53.71 53.29 53.25 +20 56.02 8.78 91.98 1.008
2022/23 16 0.563 47.32 46.53 46.45 -6 45.31 7.78 91.61 0.994
Comparing the two periods, there's been a pretty clear drop-off from last season, something we saw as early as five games into this season. We know the coaching staff is capable of applying some basic principles and getting stronger underlying shot-share metrics than they have right now – and improving the team's odds of winning games. But it remains to be seen if the coaching staff can revert back to some of their tactics that gave them so much success at the end of last season.
One tactic in particular is their aggressiveness at even-strength when protecting a lead. While most teams tend to play more conservatively with a lead – more often dumping the puck rather than making a play to create a scoring chance – the Oilers appeared to be bucking that trend last season under Woodcroft when they would continue to generate offence as a way to protect a lead.
When team's are leading in a game, they on average post a Corsi For% around 45% at even-strength. The Oilers last season under Woodcroft posted a Corsi For percentage of 57% with a lead – one of the highest in the league, behind only Calgary and Florida. This was much higher than the Oilers have ever posted with the lead under various coaches, so there was some hope that this new coaching staff was willing to try different things to have success.
Unfortunately however, the Oilers coaching staff has been far less aggressive with the lead this season, only posting a Corsi For% of 45.6%, which ranks 18th in the league. More teams are currently playing more aggressively with the lead compared to previous season, so it'd be interesting to see if the Oilers have purposely played more conservatively thus far or if there's some other issues the coaching staff is dealing with. Definitely something to monitor. Either way, the team will need to explore every option, including what worked for them last season, to improve their odds of winning games and banking some more points.
Tracking the Pacific division – As of October 31, 2022
October 31, 2022 November 1, 2022 / sunilagni / 1 Comment
The Oilers are off to an okay start to the 2022/23 regular season, having struggled at home in their first six games, but then getting great results on the road winning three games in four nights.
Here's what the Pacific division looks like at this point, sorted by points percentage.
Team Record Points Point % Goal differential
Vegas 8-2-0 16 0.800 +15
Calgary 5-2-0 10 0.714 +4
Edmonton 6-3-0 12 0.667 +8
Los Angeles 5-5-0 10 0.500 -6
Seattle 4-4-2 10 0.500 -1
Vancouver 2-5-2 6 0.333 -7
Anaheim 2-6-1 5 0.278 -18
San Jose 3-8-0 6 0.273 -10
Edmonton is right where they have to be – a points percentage above 0.650 and top three in the division. The powerplay is once again the main driver for their overall success, but the goaltending at even-strength has also been a factor.
The rest of the division, and the conference for that matter, isn't looking all that threatening at this point. Only two teams in the entire eastern conference have a negative goal-differential (Toronto and Columbus), while five teams in the Pacific and four teams in the Central division are in the red. Early days obviously, but the path to the cup in the west doesn't seem as daunting as it does in the east.
Below are the even-strength (5v5) numbers for each team in the Pacific division (sorted by points percentage) including goal-share results as well as the shot-share metrics that gives us a sense of which teams have the right processes in place and if the results are sustainable or not. I've also applied a basic heat-map to show which teams are doing well or struggling relative to their division foes. You can find a description of each metric at the end of this article. Also note that the shot-share metrics are score and venue adjusted based on Natural Stat Trick's methodology.
I've also included each team's results on special teams, combining the goals for and against on the powerplay and penalty kill, as well as the total shots.
Looking at the even-strength numbers first, we see that while the Oilers are getting decent results, they only have a +2 goal differential and their underlying shot share numbers indicate the success may not be sustainable. Their Corsi For% of 49.64% ranks 19th in the league, while their expected goals for percentage of 47.71% ranks 20th and ahead of only Vancouver and Anaheim in the Pacific. That's significantly lower than what the Oilers posted in the 38 games Woodcroft coached last season, so I'm expecting these numbers to gradually improve.
The Oilers are getting excellent goaltending thanks to young Stuart Skinner, who ranks first among the 55 goalies who have played at least 100 minutes with a 0.971 save percentage and fourth with a +5.79 goals saved above average (GSAA). He ranks well alongside some pretty good goalies, so hopefully he can sustain above-average numbers as the season progresses. Campbell on the other hand hasn't been as sharp, something that was expected heading into the season, as he ranks 41st among the 55 goalies in terms of save percentage with 0.905 and 40th with a -1.29 GSAA
Rank (GSAA) Player Team GP TOI SV% GSAA
1 Connor Hellebuyck WPG 7 340 0.947 6.58
2 Carter Hart PHI 6 271 0.952 6.03
3 Jake Oettinger DAL 7 296 0.957 5.83
4 Stuart Skinner EDM 4 178 0.971 5.79
5 Alexandar Georgiev COL 6 290 0.949 5.19
6 Logan Thompson VGK 6 285 0.954 4.99
7 Linus Ullmark BOS 7 285 0.948 4.33
8 Craig Anderson BUF 3 144 0.961 3.42
9 Tristan Jarry PIT 6 281 0.936 3.19
10 Ville Husso DET 5 230 0.937 2.73
Now in nine games, the Oilers have outscored their opponents at even-strength only three times, largely depending on their powerplay to bail them out. Which brings me to my next point.
The Oilers powerplay has been outstanding so far, scoring 11 goals and allowing one. With the talent they have and the history they have together, the Oilers have no issues generating high quality chances and finishing them. What is concerning is the penalty kill which has almost given back everything that this outstanding powerplay has generated. In nine games, the Oilers penalty kill has allowed ten goals and scored two, allowing a rate of 9.76 goals against per hour – sixth highest in the league. They're also allowing the sixth highest rate of shots against per hour, an issue that has long plagued the Oilers and appears to be continuing under Woodcroft. In such a high-pressure season, the Oilers cannot afford a horrendous penalty kill, especially if their even-strength numbers remain closer to league average.
One other observation from these first nine games is how often the coaching staff is deploying McDavid and Draisaitl together at even-strength. It's well-established the importance of having multiple scoring lines in the league, spreading the offence to overwhelm opponents. And while it's fun having two star players on the ice together, it makes a lot more sense playing these two on separate lines and increasing the odds of out-scoring teams.
Last season after Woodcroft took over, McDavid and Draisaitl were deployed together for only 55 minutes at even-strength in the 38 games – so about 3% of the team's total ice time. At home, they played together for about 17 minutes or 1.8% of the team's total ice time. And on the road, they played 38 minutes together, or about 4.3% of the team's total ice time. The consistency of having these two anchoring their own lines at 5v5 was a massive reason for the team's results last season.
This season, for whatever reason, the coaching staff has deployed the two stars together more often – playing them for 35 minutes or about 8.5% of the team's total ice time. And almost all of that happened at home in the first six games. Perhaps it was the closer games at home or the fact that the rest of the team was struggling that increased their ice time together. But it was interesting to see how fast the coaching staff went to this option as it does come across as panicky.
5v5 Home Away
2021/22 1.8% 4.3%
2022/23 11.8% 1.6%
I'm expecting the coaching staff to keep these two on separate lines going forward, as it does improve the odds of outscoring opponents. The key will be keeping them separated regardless of how the season is going, which is probably a lot easier said than done. This is also the first time we're seeing how Woodcroft will perform over the course of a full season and how he navigates losing streaks and injuries. Just hoping he sticks to his plan and overall approach instead of repeating the mistakes of previous coaches.
Points-percentage (Point%) – The total points accumulated divided by the points that were available, including extra time.
Corsi For percentage (CF%) – The proportion of all the shot attempts the team generated and allowed that the team generated (i.e., Corsi For/(Corsi For + Corsi Against). This is used as a proxy for possession and is the best at predicting a team's future share of goals (GF%). (Source: Hockey Great Tapes – Draglikepull)
Fenwick For percentage (FF%) – The proportion of all the unblocked shot attempts the team generated and allowed that the team generated (i.e., Fenwick For/(Fenwick For + Fenwick Against). This is used as a proxy for shot quality and considers shot blocking a repeatable skill.
Expected Goals For percentage (xGF%) – This is a weighting placed on every unblocked shot based on the probability of the shot becoming a goal. This depends on the type of shot, location and uses historical shot and goals data to come up with the probability for each unblocked shot.
Goals For percentage (GF%) – The proportion of all the goals that the team scored and allowed that the team generated (i.e., Goals For/(Goals For + Goals Against).
Shooting percentage (SH%) – The percentage of the team's shots on goal that became goals (i.e., total goals divided by the total shots on goal).
Save percentage (SV%) – The percentage of the team's shots on goal against that were saved (i.e., 1-(totals goals allowed divided by the total shots on goal against).

Pretty rough start for the Edmonton Oilers, securing only four points in their first five games of the season – all of which were at home and included three losses in regulation time.
The issue for the Oilers – which has been an ongoing thing for years now – is their play at even-strength (5v5) where they have only scored five goals in five games. We can't expect this to last forever considering the talent they have and the fact that the team is currently converting only 4.38% of their shots into goals – the lowest shooting percentage in the league. This is a team that's typically around the league average rate of about 8.50% and a number of players – including McDavid and Draisaitl – are posting on-ice shooting percentages well below their career levels.
What is concerning, however, is that the team itself is generating a relatively low rate of shots and scoring chances at even-strength this season – numbers much lower than they were last year after Jay Woodcroft took over as head coach. Shot metrics, including the rate of shots for and against and the overall share of total shots, are driven by tactics and deployment – things that are under the control of the coaching staff. So it's been a little surprising to see the drop off.
The table below shows the Oilers offence as reflected by the team rate of shot attempts (Corsi), unblocked shot attempts (Fenwick), shots and expected goals (xGoals) this season compared to the numbers last season after Woodcroft took over. The numbers have been score and venue adjusted based on Natural Stat Trick's methodology.
Now I'm using the numbers from last season under Woodcroft as a comparison because that was a really good team we saw in the final 38 games of the season. And they had the results and the strong underlying shot share numbers that top-end teams post at even-strength – levels that the Oilers should be trying to reach to be considered legitimate contenders.
And so far, they're below where they should be. For example, the Oilers are currently generating about 37 unblocked shot attempts per hour, which ranks 25th in the league, only ahead of teams like Montreal, San Jose, Philadelphia, St. Louis, Anaheim, Chicago and Arizona. This current rate is about 20% lower than where they were last season when they generated over 46 unblocked shot attempts per hour – which was top five in the league. Their actual shots on goal has dropped by 18.6% compared to last season and their rate of expected goals has dropped by 13.3%.
Yes it's five games, and there's plenty of time to correct this. But it's a good topic to ask the coaching staff about considering some of the other higher-end teams are getting positive results due in large part to their ability to out-shoot and out-chance opponents consistently. Pittsburgh for example is off to 4-0-1 start, have scored 19 even-strength goals, are generating some of the highest rates of shots in the league and are posting shot-share numbers (like Corsi For% and Expected Goals For%) above 52%.
That brings me to my next point. Because of their lack of offence and issues controlling the flow of play and generating shots, the Oilers are also posting poor possession and shot-share metrics compared to last season under Woodcroft.
The Oilers currently rank in the bottom third of the league when it comes to things like Corsi For% (46.61%, 23rd overall), Fenwick For% (44.15%, 27th overall) and Expected Goals For% (45.45%, 21st overall), well below where they were last season when they ranked near the top of the league after Woodcroft took over.
And if we look at the top teams from last season, and how they did in their first five to six games, we see that while the results may not have been there right off the bat, at least they were beating opponents on the shot clock and setting themselves up for success. Six of the top seven teams in terms of points percentage last season posted a Corsi For% above 50% in their first few weeks of the season and averaged an expected goals share above 53%. Interesting to see that Colorado was the one team in this group that struggled early on, but managed to turn it around – definitely an outlier that the Oilers can try to emulate.
It'll be interesting to see how the Oilers can turn things around at even-strength, and the influence Woodcroft can have on the underlying numbers through potential tactical and deployment adjustments. Woodcroft and his coaching staff did set the bar quite high based on the numbers the Oilers posted last season. But it's important to reach those expectations as soon as possible if the Oilers want to improve their chances of winning hockey games and establishing themselves as contenders.
Trepidation
October 12, 2022 October 12, 2022 / sunilagni / Leave a comment
Ahead of such a high-pressure regular season where the Oilers are expected to contend for the cup, there remains a few question marks across the roster. Up front the Oilers have the high end talent needed to win championships, but it remains to be seen if the rest of the group can consistently outscore opponents when McDavid isn't on the ice. And on the blue line, things are looking alright with a top four that should be able to hold its own in the Pacific, although no major game breakers exist on the backend like some of the top teams have – unless of course Bouchard takes another step. But as long as the defence core and the top end stars stay healthy, and a couple youngsters emerge as reliable options, a playoff berth should be achievable.
The biggest concern heading into the regular season is in net with 30-year old Jack Campbell starting the first season of a five-year contract. While he should be a more stable option than someone like Mike Smith, his recent numbers have been pretty similar to those posted by the 'battler'. So it's unclear if Campbell is really going to be an upgrade.
Over the last three seasons, Campbell has been right around league average posting a 0.916 save percentage at even-strength, which ranks 32nd among 68 goalies who have played at least 2,000 minutes (~42 games). He also posted a +2.54 goals saved above average (GSAA), which ranks 32nd in the same cohort. For reference, Mike Smith was right behind Campbell, ranking 33rd with a 0.916 save percentage at even-strength and 33rd when it comes to GSAA with +2.53. Worth noting too that Mike Smith was a better goalie when it came to high danger chances, posting a 0.819 high-danger save percentage (HDSV%) ranking 42nd, while Campbell ranked 65th among 68 goalies with a 0.794 save percentage.
Even-strength (2019-2022)
And on the penalty kill is where Smith has posted better numbers than Campbell. In the last three seasons, Campbell posted a save percentage of 0.881, which ranked 14th among 66 goalies who played at least 200 shorthanded minutes (~42 games). Smith on the other hand was one of the best goalies in the league, ranking second in the group with a 0.902 save percentage and tied with the Rangers Igor Shesterkin. With the Oilers consistently allowing one of the highest rate of shots against on the penalty kill, both under Tippett and Woodcroft, Smith really bailed the team out posting a +16.47 goals saved above average shorthanded, second only to Shesterkin.
Penalty kill (2019-2022)
The other issue worth monitoring is how well Campbell handles the workload in Edmonton, which will be slightly higher than what he was used to in Toronto as the Oilers do tend to play more of a free flowing game and willing to exchange scoring chances. Over the last three seasons under head coach Sheldon Keefe, the Leafs allowed one of the lowest rates of shots against in the league at even-strength with 28.55, and allowed 39.52 unblocked shot attempts against (i.e., Fenwick). Under either Woodcroft or Tippett, the Oilers were slightly higher than that and closer to league average levels, allowing about 30 shots against per hour and just over 41 unblocked shot attempts.
That's not too bad of a difference and it'll be interesting to see if the Oilers can improve their defensive play. But it's on the penalty kill where things could get a little rough for Campbell. Over the last three seasons in Toronto under Keefe, Campbell's teammates allowed 64.51 unblocked shot attempts per hour when shorthanded and 47.38 shots against per hour – numbers much stronger than league average levels. The Oilers on the other hand have been fairly poor on the penalty kill allowing 77.80 unblocked shot attempts against per hour and 56.69 shots against per hour over the last three seasons. Those numbers actually got worse when Woodcroft took over with the Oilers allowing 81.65 unblocked shot attempts against per hour and 59.63 shots against per hour after the coaching change in February 2022. As mentioned above, the Oilers goaltending really bailed out the penalty kill and masked some of the underlying tactical issues. Now it remains to be seen if Campbell can do the same, all while adjusting to a new team and system.
We've seen a few goalies in recent years now make their debuts with new teams following success elsewhere and falling flat. Jacob Markstrom was the Flames big off-season signing in 2020 following a career year in Vancouver, but saw his numbers take a hit as he adjusted to new teammates and a new system. And the Flames ended up missing the playoffs that season. Philipp Grubauer was another goalie who had posted solid numbers in Washington and Colorado, was even a Vezina trophy finalist, before signing with Seattle in 2021. But he too struggled adjusting to a new system, and the Kraken ended up finishing last in the Pacific. Considering both goalies were roughly the same age as Campbell when they moved to new teams and had similar pressures to live up to new multi million dollar contracts, you can understand why there might be some trepidation with the Oilers goaltending this upcoming season.
Having faith in the justice system
September 29, 2022 / sunilagni / 11 Comments
As much as I'd like to write about the upcoming season, I'm still processing the fact that the Oilers brought in a guy who was accused of sexual assault and is still facing a civil suit. Ahead of such a promising season where the Oilers have a competitive roster featuring two of the best players in the world, the Oilers chose to bring in a lot of unnecessary noise. Not only have the Oilers continued to demonstrate that they really don't care about the public's perception of their actions and their corporate values, it's also clear that they're still struggling to evaluate their roster situation and assess professional-level players. PTO's are a great way to bring in undervalued assets who can create legitimate competition in camp. Adding Virtanen doesn't provide any on-ice solutions or improve the chances of the Oilers winning a cup. All it's really done so far is expose the Oilers lack of social awareness, overshadow a lot of the positive stories coming out of training camp this season – and have fans question if supporting this team with their time and money is really worth it.
And what's really bothered me since Virtanen joined the Oilers camp is how the Oilers are trying to justify it all, with Ken Holland specifically pointing to his faith in the legal system.
"The most important thing is he went through the legal system, he went to a court of law, and a jury found him not guilty," Holland explained to reporters.
"…The biggest thing for me is to have faith in the legal system and if we lose faith in the legal system I don't think that's a good thing. … I'm trusting the legal system to offer a pro tryout and now over two weeks we will evaluate him, and if he's not good enough from a hockey standpoint, we will release him." (Source: Sportsnet)
What these comments really demonstrate is an organization's lack of awareness regarding the current justice system, the different experiences people have had with the system and the flaws that governments are trying to improve on. There are worldwide movements as a result of the justice system including Black Lives Matter, which are focusing more attention on the systemic issues and demanding change. The provincial court of Alberta recently developed a justice strategy to better meet the needs of Indigenous people. The federal government in Canada has an initiative underway to enhance the criminal justice system recognizing system delays and inefficiencies, the over-representation of Indigenous people as offenders and victims, the lack of support for vulnerable populations and the low rate of sexual assault reporting.
But despite all of this, the general manager of the Edmonton Oilers is pointing to his faith in the justice system to justify adding a player, disregarding the negative experiences people have had with the justice system – especially women, Indigenous communities and people of color. We know the justice system tends to serve those with power and privilege, and it's clear that the Oilers front office, especially those who made the decision to add Virtanen, are in that group.

I joined Rod Kurtz on CBC Radio Active to discuss some of the Oilers off-season activities ahead of training camp opening this week. Full segment is here: CBC Radio Active (2022, September 20)
Topics we covered:
Disappointment with issuing a PTO agreement to Jake Virtanen and why the Oilers can expect a backlash – on and off the ice.
Dylan Holloway's performance at the Young Stars tournament in BC.
The positive impact Jay Woodcroft can have on the team this year.
What to watch for at training camp, including the defensive prospects like Broberg who will be pushing for a roster spot.
Thanks as always to the great team at CBC for putting it all together!

Named for writer and radio man Dale Wimbrow, who created the Indian River News newspaper, Dale Wimbrow Park is located near Sebastian in Roseland along the Sebastian River. We visited specifically to launch our boat, but the park also features picnic pavilions (including a large one available by reservation), a fitness trail, and a nice playground. Crazy thing about the playground - all of the equipment is new, but they have two of those cool mechanical digger things from way back when I was a kid like a million years ago - you know, those chunks of metal machinery with horribly uncomfortable seats and two levers that let you scoop up dirt? They never worked very well, but I always loved them.
Anyway, it was an easy launch for our 19-foot boat, and a pleasant trip along the river. The park has restrooms, too - and they were even open!
Dale Wimbrow Park is open every day from 7:30 AM to sunset. There's parking for about 15 trailers.

Locking a file is designed to prevent conflicts—if only one person is working on a file, then nothing unexpected can happen.
However, file locking isn't used every time someone wants to work on a file. It doesn't make sense to restrict editing of source code or plain text files in cases where most edits are on unrelated areas of a file, and are unlikely to conflict with each other.
That said, sometimes conflicts do happen, and when they do, you need to be able to resolve them.

Internal meetings
Sign+Sound Theatre Europe
New ways of audience development for culture and more inclusion in society.
The project final conference took place on Friday 4 October 2019 in Brussels, Belgium. We were delighted to welcome over 50 participants, both deaf and hearing. Sign language interpretation was available in Flemish, Finnish, Greek and British Sign Language, and International Sign.
Carmen Arroyo of EASPD welcomed the participants and introduced Ivo Peeters, representing the project coordinator De Zeyp, who spoke about the original inspiration for the project: a play by Eero Enqvist. Eero then talked about how he came to write his play, loosely adapted from a classical Finnish work by Viita.
The project consortium presented the results created in the course of the Sign and Sound Theatre project. This was followed by a debate on arts and inclusion policy with a range of policymakers represented:
Representative from the EESC
Julie Ward MEP, Group of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament. Vice-Chair Committee on Culture and Education
Barbara Gessler, Head of the Unit Creative Europe, Directorate-General for Education, Youth, Sport and Culture, European Commission
Inmaculada Placencia-Porrero, Senior Expert – Social affairs, Disability and Inclusion Unit, Directorate-General for Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion, European Commission
Eoin Nash, COPE Foundation, Ireland. Chair of the EASPD Interest Group on Arts
The afternoon sessions started with a presentation of accessibility good practice by four European companies:
Nalagaatorg, Israel
Un-Labelproject, Germany
Fattoriavitadini,Italy
Elimpulso del silencio, Spain
Participants then had time to share their own experiences of access and inclusion in cultural situations.
As coordinator, Gemeenschapcentrum De Zeyp hosted a dinner at their centre for all participants, to finish the event.

I had the most revealing experience recently. I think it is important enough and relevant enough that it should be shared with all of you.
I am abundant in every good thing.
As I quickly evaluated certain areas of my life, I honestly felt like that was true for me. I am abundant in many, many wonderful things. All of the things I view as good and great blessings to me, relationships, employment, food, safety, etc. The one area that I notice feeling a lack of abundance would be in the area of money. I know I am not alone here and it isn't for lack of appreciation for money or a good job.
Changes in the economy over the last 5 years have contributed to some of our difficulties. Unemployment, underemployment, inflated housing prices, crashing housing prices, and short-selling of our home are probably the biggest influences on our situation. I don't blame these for my relationship to money, but they have taught me a lot about money in the process and have left us with a bit of a hole to dig out of.
I feel fortunate to be able to recognize my many blessings regardless of the numbers in the family budget.
Back to my original point though. After reading the affirmation – I am abundant in every good thing, I immediately realized that I held a judgement against money in some fashion that made it not "good" to me. I muscle tested this belief for me (muscle testing is what helps me recognize beliefs I hold on a sub-conscious level). I held strong on the belief that "I am abundant in every good thing" but tested weak on the statement "money is good." How sad for me to realize that I was holding myself to this belief and with all my good intentions surrounding money it doesn't flow in my life and I am not abundant in it because I don't belief it is GOOD.
What WAS money then? What did I believe it to be for me?
Money in and of itself is nothing. It is energy and a resource that we exchange in paper/coin form for goods and services.
Money becomes SOMETHING when we connect it to values and beliefs.
My desire was to discover what I sub-consciously believed money to represent for me and if there was something to clear in regards to that, I needed to take care of it.
I started to think of any and every possible meaning I could have placed upon money.
I was shocked when I finally connected what money represented for me. 2 things.
For me, money was CONTROL and PAIN.
A certain memory of my childhood had been coming to my mind over and over again. I am in my parents bathroom as a child of 6 or 7. My parents at this time have 7 of the 11 total kids in my family and as a way to teach us the value of money and to encourage us to get our chores done, they would pay us each a quarter for doing our jobs. The money was kept in small quart jars in their bathroom. I remember looking at my jar and feeling detached from what I wanted. I knew money was important, but it was always out of my control. Someone would give it to me for my efforts and then it was put in a jar and I simply would look at it but never remember being instructed in how to use my money besides learning the importance of paying tithing. I really wanted it though. I wanted to play with it and use it!
I have no need to blame my parents for wanting to teach me about money and how to earn it. I was a hard worker and did learn how to earn it. But, I also took away from the experience a perception and belief surrounding money, that it was something out of my personal control and was controlled by others on my behalf. That I really didn't have control when it comes to how to increase my earnings or even how to spend it. As a kid, all I wanted to do with money (mine or what I swiped from my dad's dresser – but that is another story) was to spend it on candy at the local 7-11 on my way home from school. I am sure there are other beliefs I picked up around money, but for me to clear my biggest blocks, it was important for me to recognize that I viewed money as CONTROL.
My second belief about money was that it was PAIN. This has some relevance to my life particularly surrounding the my birth experience and ages 18 & 32, but more than anything, I felt this was a generational belief that I had inherited. The circumstances surrounding my family over 100 years ago seems to have created a belief that money is pain. WHY? Most likely because of the strife it caused in personal relationships and other core values of the family unit. It became better to live a life without an abundance of money or even better to distance myself from money by creating debt, to keep myself as far away from pain as I could.
I love my form of energy clearing and balancing, because it is so simple to acknowledge and clear these limiting beliefs that are no longer serving me. After clearing away these beliefs surrounding money, I tested myself on the affirmation – "Money is good" and FINALLY, I now hold that to be true for me.
What has become even more exciting is to feel a great relief and burden lifted. I have had more energy, focus and opportunities arise since clearing these false beliefs from my mindset and overall energy.
If you would like my assistance in helping you shift your mindset and clear away negative belief patterns, I invite you to look into one-on-one coaching sessions with me.

Dolemite Is My Name: Traditional Steak Dinner
The epic underdog story of Rudy Ray Moore, the comeback king, Dolemite Is My Name is the feel-good movie of the year. Eddie Murphy's hero, Rudy was a pioneer in developing new comedy and rap styles that influenced an entire generation. He also ushered in an era of wildly popular blaxploitation films.
The movie stars Eddie Murphy as Rudy Ray Moore, who nails it at channeling his unbridled motivation and enthusiasm for producing his first movie, Dolemite. But first, he needs funding so he has dinner at his aunt's house to ask for money. The menu is classic and simple yet oh-so-satisfying: steak fried in a pan, green beans, mashed taters, and bread & butter.
Medium pot
Chopping knife
2 Ribeye steaks
2 cups fresh green beans, with ends removed
⅓ cup Parmesan (optional)
4 large Yukon Gold potatoes
3 tablespoons whole milk or cream
1 tablespoon plain yogurt
4 slices of bread with extra butter
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and set a rack on the third row. Place a sheet of parchment paper on a sheet pan and set aside.
Meanwhile, salt and pepper the steaks. Then, boil a medium pot of water. Rinse the potatoes and cut them into quarters. Place in the boiling water and let cook until tender (about 10 minutes).
Next, place green beans on a sheet pan, drizzle with olive oil, and toss to coat. Spread evenly on the pan, season with salt and pepper, and bake until fully roasted (20-25 minutes). Take out the oven and top with grated Parmesan cheese. Set aside to cool.
When the potatoes are finished, drain the water and return to the pot. Then, add butter, yogurt, and milk or cream. Mix thoroughly and add salt to taste.

Fun fact: The film centers on the making of Dolomite (1975), but the epic sex scene, car chase, and a Cadillac exploding came from the 1976 movie The Human Tornado. Although not historically accurate, the producers purposely included these legendary scenes as a tribute to Rudy Ray Moore.

During the last weeks, and due to the crisis of power in the brotherly Republic of the Gambia, there was a menace of war in our region because of the reckless inclination of some towards blindly violence for solving political crises. Political crises that only needed wisdom, dialogue, and hard work to save the region from the dreadful consequences of war and turbulences that could tear societies and cause instability and foreign intervention.
The president of the Republic, his Excellency Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz was able to comprehend all the above which is why he had led a wise and thoughtful intervention that ended up with solving this crisis and saved the region from serious war consequences due to the reckless attitudes and the narrow personal views of some.
Both national and international observers were able to watch with admiration the wisdom and bravery of his Excellency which was seen in a series of efforts he made and in the various initiatives he led to find solutions to crises in the region by supporting democratic institutions and the peaceful transition of power in the African continent. The former, has undoubtedly shown the extent to which Mauritania plays a very significant role in the stability of the region and the preservation of peace in the world. It also shows the degree to which his Excellency Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz is an international, Arab and African leader respected across the world for his wisdom and bravery.
We, in the Union for the Republic party, wholeheartedly congratulate his Excellency, the President of the Republic expressing our pride and gratitude to his great efforts that succeeded in preventing the shedding of blood in a brotherly country and saved the lives of our people and our interests as well as the interests and properties of our brothers and sisters.
We invite the neighboring leaders, elites and decision makers to take a lesson from these events and to follow the trajectory of his Excellency in dealing with political crises and working on stability in the region and strengthening democracy in their countries which will inevitably be a factor for progress, development and security.

"Chav" (), also "charver", "scally" and "roadman" in parts of England, is a British term, usually used in a pejorative way. The term is used to describe an anti-social lower-class youth dressed in sportswear. "Chavette" is a related term referring to female chavs, and the adjectives "chavvy", "chavvish", and "chavtastic"  are used to describe things associated with chavs, such as fashion, slang, etc. In other countries like Ireland, "Skanger" is used in a similar manner. In Canada, in the province of British Columbia they're known as "Surrey jacks". In Ontario (particularly in Toronto), the term is "hoodman", an equivalent of the term "roadman" used in England. In Newfoundland, "skeet" is used in a similar way, while in Australia, "eshay" or "adlay" is used.

Etymology
Opinion is divided on the origin of the term. "Chav" may have its origins in the Romani word "chavi", meaning "child". The word "chavvy" has existed since at least the 19th century; lexicographer Eric Partridge mentions it in his 1950 dictionary of slang and unconventional English, giving its date of origin as c. 1860.

The word in its current pejorative usage is recorded by the Oxford English Dictionary as first used in a Usenet forum in 1998 and first used in a newspaper in 2002. By 2005 the term had become widespread in its use as to refer to a type of anti-social, uncultured youth, who wear excessive flashy jewellery, white athletic shoes, baseball caps, and sham designer clothes. The girls commonly wear clothing which exposes their midriff.

In his 2011 book, Chavs: The Demonization of the Working Class, Owen Jones argued that the word is an attack on the poor. In the 2010 book Stab Proof Scarecrows by Lance Manley, it was surmised that "chav" was an abbreviation for "council housed and violent". This is widely regarded as a backronym. This interpretation of the word was used in a 2012 public statement by rapper Plan B as he spoke out to oppose the use of the term.

In 2013 linguist David Crystal said on BBC Learning English:
People talk about "chav behaviour" or "chav insults" and that sort of thing. Oh, don't believe the popular etymologies that you read sometimes in the press and on websites. I saw one the other day, people said, "It's an acronym, 'chav', from 'council house and violent'"—well, no, it isn't, that was made up in recent times.

It has also been suggested that the term is derived from the name of the town of Chatham, in Kent, but the Oxford English Dictionary thinks this is "probably a later rationalization".

Stereotype

Besides referring to loutish (ill-mannered) behaviour, violence, and particular speech patterns (all of which are stereotypes), the chav stereotype includes wearing branded designer sportswear, which may be accompanied by some form of flashy gold jewellery otherwise termed as "bling". They have been described as adopting "black culture".

In a case where a teenage woman was barred from her own home under the terms of an anti-social behaviour order in 2005, some British national newspapers branded her "the real-life Vicky Pollard" with the Daily Star running headlines reading, "Good riddance to chav scum: real life Vicky Pollard evicted", both referring to a BBC comedy character (see In the media below). A 2006 survey by YouGov suggested 70% of TV industry professionals believed that Vicky Pollard was an accurate reflection of white working-class youth.

Response to the stereotype has ranged from amusement to criticism, with some saying that it is a new manifestation of classism. The Guardian in 2011 identified issues stemming from the use of the terms "hoodies" and "chav" within the mass media, which had led to age discrimination as a result of mass media-created stereotypes.

Commercial effect
In 2005 the fashion house Burberry, whilst deriding chavs, claimed that the widespread fashion in the UK of chavs wearing its branded style (Burberry check) was due to the widespread availability of cheaper counterfeit versions.

The large supermarket chain Asda has attempted to trademark the word "chav" for a line of confectionery. A spokeswoman said, "With slogans from characters in shows such as Little Britain and The Catherine Tate Show providing us with more and more contemporary slang, our "Whatever" sweets – now nicknamed chav hearts – have become very popular with kids and grown-ups alike. We thought we needed to give them some respect and have decided to trademark our sweets."

Criticism of the stereotype
A BBC TV documentary suggested that chav culture is an evolution of previous working-class youth subcultures associated with particular commercial clothing styles, such as mods, skinheads, and casuals.

In a February 2005 article in The Times, Julie Burchill argued that use of the word is a form of "social racism", and that such "sneering" reveals more about the shortcomings of the "chav-haters" than those of their supposed victims. The writer John Harris argued along similar lines in a 2007 article in The Guardian. The widespread use of the "chav" stereotype has been criticised. Some argue that it amounts to simple snobbery and elitism. Critics of the term have argued that its users are "neo-snobs", and that its increasing popularity raises questions about how British society deals with social mobility and class.

The Fabian Society considers the term to be offensive and regards it as "sneering and patronising" to a largely voiceless group. On describing those who use the word, the society stated that "we all know their old serviette/napkin, lounge/living room, settee/sofa tricks. But this is something new. This is middle class hatred of the white working class, pure and simple. The Fabian Society have been highly critical of the BBC in using the term in broadcasts. Use of the term 'chav' was reported in The Guardian in 2011 as "class abuse by people asserting superiority". Writer Owen Jones also criticised the use of the term in his book Chavs: The Demonization of the Working Class.

In the media
By 2004, the word was used in national newspapers and common parlance in the UK. Susie Dent's Larpers and Shroomers: The Language Report, published by the Oxford University Press, designated it as the "word of the year" in 2004.

Characters described as "chavs" have been featured in numerous British television programmes, as well as films. The character, clothing, attitude and musical interests of Lauren Cooper and her friends in the BBC comedy series, The Catherine Tate Show, have been associated with the chav stereotype. The BBC comedy series Little Britain features the character Vicky Pollard (portrayed by Matt Lucas), a parody of a teenage female chav. In the British television series Misfits, the character of Kelly Bailey is presented as a stereotypical chav. Lauren Socha, the actress who portrays Kelly, has described the character as being "a bit chavvy". The Times has referred to the character as "[a] chavvish girl", and the character has been said to possess a "chav accent".

In the "New Earth" episode of the BBC TV series Doctor Who, the character Lady Cassandra is transplanted into Rose Tyler's body (Billie Piper). When Cassandra sees herself in a mirror, she exclaims "Oh my God... I'm a chav!" In Kingsman: The Secret Service, the main character Eggsy Unwin (Taron Egerton) is introduced as a stereotypical chav.

As the Turkish currency continues to tumble and makes record lows day-by-day, the mainstream movement towards people investing in digital assets can be expected.
While the trade wars and economic crises around the world have impacted the public's confidence in fiat currency, which could lead to an increased interest in crypto. In Turkey, where trading in crypto is relatively easy compared to other jurisdictions, this seems to be a very likely scenario.
The Chief Strategy Officer of CoinShares, Meltem Demirors tweets about her proudness being a Turkish, as 18% of Turks own cryptocurrencies among the entire European region, as per the ING findings.
Their currency crisis (Turkish lira) pertaining to the dollar-denominated debt during previous summer considerably devalued and affected many Turkish life savings, pensions, and investment funds.
Recently, Turkish Finance Minister Berat Albayrak has announced a cheap lending scheme for SME's: SMEs who are members of the Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges in Turkey will have access to a total pool of TRY 20bn, with exporters and manufacturers getting up to TRY 1mn each, and other SME's getting up to half that amount. Such loans are aimed at working capital needs of these companies and will be offered at cheap rates: 6- months grace and 1.45% monthly interest rate, which is significantly lower than the prevailing cost of capital for this sector.
While Erdogan, kept his stances liberal on cryptocurrencies as he perceived the trading in this segment not as illegal in the region. Nevertheless, he has also attempted to induce FX traders to transfigure their dollars positions into lira, rather than bitcoin. Notably, based on the above statistics, Turks seemed to have been keen on crypto prospects.
Currency Strength Index: FxWirePro's hourly BTC spot index is inching towards -111 levels (which is bearish), while hourly USD spot index was at 35 (bullish) while articulating (at 06:49 GMT).

Cabbage (comprising several cultivars of Brassica oleracea) is a leafy green, red (purple), or white (pale green) biennial plant grown as an annual vegetable crop for its dense-leaved heads. It is descended from the wild cabbage (B. oleracea var. oleracea), and belongs to the "cole crops" or brassicas, meaning it is closely related to broccoli and cauliflower (var. botrytis); Brussels sprouts (var. gemmifera); and Savoy cabbage (var. sabauda).
Cabbage weights generally range from 500 to 1,000 grams (1 to 2 lb). Smooth-leafed, firm-headed green cabbages are the most common, with smooth-leafed purple cabbages and crinkle-leafed savoy cabbages of both colours being rarer. Under conditions of long sunny days, such as those found at high northern latitudes in summer, cabbages can grow quite large. As of 2012, the heaviest cabbage was 62.71 kilograms (138.25 lb). Cabbage heads are generally picked during the first year of the plant's life cycle, but plants intended for seed are allowed to grow a second year and must be kept separate from other cole crops to prevent cross-pollination. Cabbage is prone to several nutrient deficiencies, as well as to multiple pests, and bacterial and fungal diseases.
Cabbage was most likely domesticated somewhere in Europe before 1000 BC, although savoys were not developed until the 16th century AD. By the Middle Ages, cabbage had become a prominent part of European cuisine. They can be prepared many different ways for eating; they can be pickled, fermented (for dishes such as sauerkraut), steamed, stewed, sautéed, braised, or eaten raw. Cabbage is a good source of vitamin K, vitamin C and dietary fiber. World production of cabbage and other brassicas for 2018 was 69 million tonnes, with China accounting for 48% of the total.
Cabbage seedlings have a thin taproot and cordate (heart-shaped) cotyledons. The first leaves produced are ovate (egg-shaped) with a lobed petiole. Plants are 40–60 cm (16–24 in) tall in their first year at the mature vegetative stage, and 1.5–2.0 m (4 ft 11 in–6 ft 7 in) tall when flowering in the second year. Heads average between 0.5 and 4 kg (1 and 8 lb), with fast-growing, earlier-maturing varieties producing smaller heads. Most cabbages have thick, alternating leaves, with margins that range from wavy or lobed to highly dissected; some varieties have a waxy bloom on the leaves. Plants have root systems that are fibrous and shallow.[9] About 90 percent of the root mass is in the upper 20–30 cm (8–12 in) of soil; some lateral roots can penetrate up to 2 m (6 ft 7 in) deep.
The inflorescence is an unbranched and indeterminate terminal raceme measuring 50–100 cm (20–40 in) tall, with flowers that are yellow or white. Each flower has four petals set in a perpendicular pattern, as well as four sepals, six stamens, and a superior ovary that is two-celled and contains a single stigma and style. Two of the six stamens have shorter filaments. The fruit is a silique that opens at maturity through dehiscence to reveal brown or black seeds that are small and round in shape. Self-pollination is impossible, and plants are cross-pollinated by insects. The initial leaves form a rosette shape comprising 7 to 15 leaves, each measuring 25–35 cm (10–14 in) by 20–30 cm (8–12 in); after this, leaves with shorter petioles develop and heads form through the leaves cupping inward.
Many shapes, colors and leaf textures are found in various cultivated varieties of cabbage. Leaf types are generally divided between crinkled-leaf, loose-head savoys and smooth-leaf firm-head cabbages, while the color spectrum includes white and a range of greens and purples. Oblate, round and pointed shapes are found.
Cabbage has been selectively bred for head weight and morphological characteristics, frost hardiness, fast growth and storage ability. The appearance of the cabbage head has been given importance in selective breeding, with varieties being chosen for shape, color, firmness and other physical characteristics. Breeding objectives are now focused on increasing resistance to various insects and diseases and improving the nutritional content of cabbage. Scientific research into the genetic modification of B. oleracea crops, including cabbage, has included European Union and United States explorations of greater insect and herbicide resistance.
There are several Guinness Book of World Records entries related to cabbage. These include the heaviest cabbage, at 57.61 kilograms (127.0 lb), heaviest red cabbage, at 19.05 kilograms (42.0 lb), longest cabbage roll, at 15.37 m (50 ft 5 in), and the largest cabbage dish, at 925.4 kilograms (2,040 lb).
Cabbage is generally grown for its densely leaved heads, produced during the first year of its biennial cycle. Plants perform best when grown in well-drained soil in a location that receives full sun. Different varieties prefer different soil types, ranging from lighter sand to heavier clay, but all prefer fertile ground with a pH between 6.0 and 6.8. For optimal growth, there must be adequate levels of nitrogen in the soil, especially during the early head formation stage, and sufficient phosphorus and potassium during the early stages of expansion of the outer leaves. Temperatures between 4 and 24 °C (39 and 75 °F) prompt the best growth, and extended periods of higher or lower temperatures may result in premature bolting (flowering). Flowering induced by periods of low temperatures (a process called vernalization) only occurs if the plant is past the juvenile period. The transition from a juvenile to adult state happens when the stem diameter is about 6 mm (1⁄4 in). Vernalization allows the plant to grow to an adequate size before flowering. In certain climates, cabbage can be planted at the beginning of the cold period and survive until a later warm period without being induced to flower, a practice that was common in the eastern US.
Plants are generally started in protected locations early in the growing season before being transplanted outside, although some are seeded directly into the ground from which they will be harvested. Seedlings typically emerge in about 4–6 days from seeds planted 13 mm (1⁄2 in) deep at a soil temperature between 20 and 30 °C (68 and 86 °F). Growers normally place plants 30 to 61 cm (12 to 24 in) apart. Closer spacing reduces the resources available to each plant (especially the amount of light) and increases the time taken to reach maturity. Some varieties of cabbage have been developed for ornamental use; these are generally called "flowering cabbage". They do not produce heads and feature purple or green outer leaves surrounding an inner grouping of smaller leaves in white, red, or pink. Early varieties of cabbage take about 70 days from planting to reach maturity, while late varieties take about 120 days. Cabbages are mature when they are firm and solid to the touch. They are harvested by cutting the stalk just below the bottom leaves with a blade. The outer leaves are trimmed, and any diseased, damaged, or necrotic leaves are removed. Delays in harvest can result in the head splitting as a result of expansion of the inner leaves and continued stem growth.
When being grown for seed, cabbages must be isolated from other B. oleracea subspecies, including the wild varieties, by 0.8 to 1.6 km (1⁄2 to 1 mi) to prevent cross-pollination. Other Brassica species, such as B. rapa, B. juncea, B. nigra, B. napus and Raphanus sativus, do not readily cross-pollinate.
n 2018, world production of cabbages (combined with other brassicas) was 69.4 million tonnes, led by China with 48% of the world total (table). Other major producers were India, South Korea, and Russia.
Cabbage is prepared and consumed in many ways. The simplest options include eating the vegetable raw or steaming it, though many cuisines pickle, stew, sautée or braise cabbage. Pickling is one of the most popular ways of preserving cabbage, creating dishes such as sauerkraut and kimchi, although kimchi is more often made from Chinese cabbage (B. rapa). Savoy cabbages are usually used in salads, while smooth-leaf types are utilized for both market sales and processing. Bean curd and cabbage is a staple of Chinese cooking, while the British dish bubble and squeak is made primarily with leftover potato and boiled cabbage and eaten with cold meat. In Poland, cabbage is one of the main food crops, and it features prominently in Polish cuisine. It is frequently eaten, either cooked or as sauerkraut, as a side dish or as an ingredient in such dishes as bigos (cabbage, sauerkraut, meat, and wild mushrooms, among other ingredients) gołąbki (stuffed cabbage) and pierogi (filled dumplings). Other eastern European countries, such as Hungary and Romania, also have traditional dishes that feature cabbage as a main ingredient. In India and Ethiopia, cabbage is often included in spicy salads and braises. In the United States, cabbage is used primarily for the production of coleslaw, followed by market use and sauerkraut production.

Cannabis Legalization: State Stores System
In 2017, almost 21,000 adults in Pennsylvania were arrested for low-level cannabis possession charges. The prosecution of these individuals cost Pennsylvania taxpayers $46 million. Furthermore, although African Americans use cannabis at a similar rate to white Americans, African Americans are almost four times more likely to be arrested for cannabis possession. According to the auditor general of Pennsylvania, legalizing adult use cannabis in Pennsylvania could create a $1.66 billion industry that would create more than 18,000 good jobs and generate hundreds of millions of dollars in tax revenue every year.
However, permitting private companies to sell cannabis in Pennsylvania could allow large corporations to take over the cannabis industry, putting profits before the well-being of our communities. For these reasons, my legislation will legalize adult use cannabis through the current state store system in order to ensure the safety and integrity of cannabis sales in Pennsylvania. Additionally, this legislation would also expunge low level cannabis convictions and permit individuals to grow up to six plants. This would in turn increase the amount of law enforcement resources and reduce the racial disparity in the criminal justice system related to cannabis convictions.
Please join me in saving millions of dollars of taxpayers' money while creating thousands of good jobs for hard-working Pennsylvanians.
Introduced as HB1180

Man arrested in Taco Bell shooting
Published 10:55 am Thursday, November 5, 2020
A man wanted in connection with an Oct. 8 shooting inside a fast food restaurant was arrested in Norfolk on Oct. 23, Suffolk Police confirmed Thursday.
Jalil Larshawn Evans, 23, was arrested on outstanding warrants including discharge firearm in occupied building and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, according to a Suffolk city press release.
The warrants were related to the shooting inside the Taco Bell restaurant in the 1400 block of North Main Street. The shooting was reported at 6:35 p.m. that evening, the news release stated. The suspect reportedly came into the Taco Bell and got into a verbal argument with an employee about an issue not related to the restaurant, then fired a shot and fled the scene.
Evans is currently being held at the Norfolk City Jail, the press release stated. The release also stated Suffolk Police are no longer looking for the other person who accompanied Evans at the time of the shooting.


This thesis explores website traffic and visitors by analysing website customer behaviour. The thesis expands the current research on web analytics to consider the rising categorization of media into owned, earned and paid media types. The research is first of its kind to further explore if there is significant difference between owned, earned and paid website visitors measured by web metrics. In addition to academic contributions, it is desired that the research helps marketers and publishers to invest their resources between generating each type of traffic in order to reach their individual goals and maximize the return-on-investment.
In this paper, a framework for measuring owned, earned and paid website visitors is created. The research framework is tested in a case study where owned, earned and paid traffic is driven from Facebook to a fashion magazine's online articles. Data on visitor-level website behavior of 2739 visitors is collected from the case website using Piwik analytics. The data was analyzed using two quantitative methods: chi-square test of homogeneity and one-way analysis of variance. These methods were used in order to determine whether statistically significant differences in website between owned, earned and paid visitor groups exists. Further, the case study demonstrates how to use the framework and appropriate techniques to effectively collect, extract, and analyze website visitor's web behavior and the differences between owned, earned and paid website visitors.
The empirical research reveals that significant differences between different types of website visitors exists. The chi-square test of homogeneity indicated a statistical significant difference of binomial proportions of 'new / return user rate', 'bounce-rate' and 'mobile / desktop rate' variables. One-way ANOVA indicated a statistical significant difference between the means of owned, earned and paid visitors of "visit count" and "actions", but also a non-significant difference of "visit duration". Thus also the usability of the research framework is confirmed.
This thesis expands the research on clickstream data into social networking and earned media in media and journalism, and so contributes to the existing research on web analytics. This thesis also contributes to the existing literature on owned, earned and paid media and web analytics by adding owned and earned social media exposure to clickstream research and comparing them to paid social media exposure it in assessing user's behavioral response in a cross-site context. Thus the thesis also combines social marketing with web analytics and expands the use 'owned', 'paid' and 'earned' jointly in a digital environment. This study is also first one to apply 'heart rate monitoring' measurement, redefined visit duration and bounce-rate metrics. The thesis provides useful technical and methodological information about website visitor tracking and web metrics for both academics and businesses seeking benefits from web analytics and online channels.


WHAT CONSTITUTES A 'GOOD' DEAL IN THIS MARKET?
shared their perspectives on current issues in healthcare real estate.
In this difficult economy, deal-hungry healthcare real estate developers and investors might be tempted to consider just about any opportunity that comes down the pike. But that makes it all the more important for them to remain objective and disciplined, and to temper their yearning to do deals with a dispassionate analysis of the specific opportunities at hand.
That was one of the recommendations of a wide-ranging panel discussion during the recent InterFace Medical Office conference in Chicago.
In a session titled "The InterFace Big Picture: The State of the Healthcare Real Estate and Medical Office Market," a healthcare developer, broker, investor and provider shared their perspectives on the sector.
As publisher and founding editor of Healthcare Real Estate Insights™, I was invited to moderate the panel.
Gina Weldy, Director of Finance & Real Estate, Northwestern Memorial Hospital.
The conference was held April 28, attracting an audience of nearly 170 healthcare real estate professionals and hospital and health system executives to the Standard Club in downtown Chicago.
