roof leak repair Key West FL: You've got a leaking roof and need experienced roof leak repair in Key West FL. Some roof problems may be patched without the need of a professional roofer. The following steps will guide you on how to locate issues and make repairs to flat, shingle and wooden shake roofs. You want to endeavor to repair on the roof on a day when the roof has not been dampened by rain, to avoid any type of accidents.
Look for problems on the roofing material immediately above the area the leak is seeping in . This will probably be easier to see on a level flat roof, but the problem is that the leak can also penetrate into the home a good distance from the place the very roof leak is at.
If the case is your roof is on a slant, look at regions on your roof that are higher than where the leak is damaging the home.
In case you have an attic, do a visual with a flashlight for black marks, mold or water stains.
Turn on a hose on the surface each area of the roofing and have a person inside indicate to you if any leaks happen.
Look for cracked, out of shape or missing shingles at the spot the area the leak is seeping in. inspect very closely for bare roofing tacks, too as well as for cracked, out of shape or missing shingles.
Straighten out shingles which are curled up. In colder weather, this possibly could neccessitate that you soften the shingle itself with heat, something such as an electric hair dryer can do the job. Using a flamming device or other type using open flame devices isn't suggested since asphalt shingles could be flammable, and regardless of whether they are flame retardant or not, too much heat will ruin the shingle.
Position back in place the curled-back shingles after the heat procedure with a good amount of asphalt roof sealant around the exposed edges.
Replace damaged shingles. If the shingle can be picked up off the roof with minimum effort, breaks, or simply falls apart, of course it needs to be replaced right away.
Begin removal of the old shingle by pulling up its edges and prying out the nail.
Scrape the surface area below it to take away any leftover roofing cement.
Use a sharp utility blade to take the corners off the back of the new shingle slightly.
Slide the new shingle into place and drive 1 1/4 inch (3.2 cm) galvanized roofing nails into each upper corner, then seal the nail heads with roof cement.

Economy is growing – but don't crack the champagne just yet
Finance Finance News Economy is growing – but don't crack the champagne just yet

Australia's economy took a step up in the June quarter, growing 0.8 per cent, an improvement on the anaemic 0.3 per cent recorded in the the three months to March, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics.
Over the year to June the increase was 1.8 per cent but the June quarter estimate is slightly below that at 1.7 per cent, suggesting a weakening later in the year.
However, while the economic picture may have brightened "it hasn't got economists breaking open a bottle of Moët," said Nicki Hutley, chief economist with Urbis group.
The GDP boost was driven by an 0.7 per cent jump in household spending accounting for half of the gain as consumers handed over more of their money.
The business picture was also brighter with an improvement in spending on business and financial services, telecommunications and manufacturing.
But falling commodity prices acted as a weight, taking 0.1 per cent off the GDP result. ABS economist Bruce Hockman said: "Recent indicators showing increased business confidence appear to be reflected by the 3.2 per cent quarterly increase in purchases of new machinery and equipment."
"We're on an improving trend, but it's a rebound from the weak first quarter," Ms Hutley said. "There's no way its going to run up to 3 per cent in the near future and we're not looking for a rate increase from the RBA into next year."
Stephen Koukoulas, an independent economist, said a breakdown of the growth figures showed "a few snippets were ok but basically the economy is still pretty sluggish."
The market response was not enthusiastic with the share market index down 0.36 of a per cent and the Australian dollar down slightly to US79.9c.
Reserve Bank Governor Phil Lowe was optimistic in a speech on Tuesday night saying: " Encouragingly, growth in the number of Australians with jobs has picked up over recent months, and the unemployment rate has come down a bit."
"The investment outlook has also brightened. These are positive developments," Dr Lowe said.
Dr Lowe's comments add to a message of improvement expressed last week by Treasurer Scott Morrison.
"The Reserve bank has changed its language [to be more positive] but I think the government and the Treasury are being overly optimistic," Ms Hutley said.
However, Dr Lowe's recent calls for workers to raise the pressure on employers to boost wages appear to be having little success. The real unit labour cost index, which measures wages and productivity, stayed negative where it has been since March 2016.
"That means productivity is growing faster than wages which leaves space for workers to push for higher wages but that hasn't happened," Ms Hutley said.
What economists see as trend growth in the economy has declined since the global financial crisis and now normal is seen as somewhere between 2.5 and 3 per cent. "The economy is still below trend and it's a disappointing number," Mr Koukoulas said.

Dissecting the role of histidine kinase and Hog1 mitogen-activated protein kinase signalling in stress tolerance and pathogenicity of Parastagonospora nodorum on wheat.
dc.identifier.citation John, E. and Lopez-Ruiz, F. and Rybak, K. and Mousley, C. and Oliver, R. and Tan, K. 2016. Dissecting the role of histidine kinase and Hog1 mitogen-activated protein kinase signalling in stress tolerance and pathogenicity of Parastagonospora nodorum on wheat. Microbiology. 162: pp. 1023-1036.
The HOG1 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway is activated through two-component histidine kinase (HK) signalling. This pathway was first characterized in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a regulator of osmotolerance. The fungus Parastagonospora nodorum is the causal agent of septoria nodorum blotch of wheat. This pathogen uses host-specific effectors in tandem with general pathogenicity mechanisms to carry out its infection process. Genes showing strong sequence homology to S. cerevisiae HOG1 signalling pathway genes have been identified in the genome of P. nodorum. In this study, we examined the role of the pathway in the virulence of P. nodorum on wheat by disrupting putative pathway component genes: HOG1 (SNOG_13296) MAPK and NIK1 (SNOG_11631) hybrid HK. Mutants deleted in NIK1 and HOG1 were insensitive to dicarboximide and phenylpyrrole fungicides, but not a fungicide that targets ergosterol biosynthesis. Furthermore, both Δnik1 and Δhog1 mutants showed increased sensitivity to hyperosmotic stress. However, HOG1, but not NIK1, is required for tolerance to elevated temperatures. HOG1 deletion conferred increased tolerance to 6-methoxy-2-benzoxazolinone, a cereal phytoalexin. This suggests that the HOG1 signalling pathway is not exclusively associated with NIK1. Both Δnik1 and Δhog1 mutants retained the ability to infect and cause necrotic lesions on wheat. However, we observed that the Δhog1 mutation resulted in reduced production of pycnidia, asexual fruiting bodies that facilitate spore dispersal during late infection. Our study demonstrated the overlapping and distinct roles of a HOG1 MAPK and two-component HK signalling in P. nodorum growth and pathogenicity.

GTM Research releases "The U.S. Utility PV Market: Demand, Players, Strategy and Project Economics Through 2015," a competitive analysis of the U.S. PV market's key demand sector.
With over 5 GW of power purchase agreements (PPAs) currently under contract through 2015, U.S. utilities are becoming a key driver of future growth for the global PV industry. These utilities are claiming their position as the industry's next critical demand center with state renewable portfolio standards (RPS) looming and global PV players shifting their sights from saturated European feed-in tariff markets to the large-scale potential of the U.S. PPA market.
At over 160 pages with more than 120 data-rich exhibits, The U.S. Utility PV Market: Demand, Players, Strategy and Project Economics Through 2015 examines in detail the current state of the sector with an eye toward future development, supply, economic and regulatory conditions. The report considers utility procurement strategies, developer and supplier positioning, regulatory influence and project economics within utility territories.
At present, U.S.-based First Solar holds more than 40% of all contracted PPA capacity in development nationwide, with other U.S.-based developers SunPower, Sempra Generation, LS Power and SunEdison combining for an additional 22% of contracted capacity. While these domestic developers represent first movers in the market, global players are looking for a foothold -- and employing a variety of strategies to achieve it.
While all of this makes for a vibrant U.S. utility market, the sector is still nascent, with less than 250 MW currently operating and a number of challenges looming in the coming years. Financing bottlenecks caused by slow economic recovery and the potential non-extension of the U.S. Treasury cash grant will be an obstacle to timely project completion. In addition, competitive PPA bidding processes have led to contracts being signed at untenable price points for project developers. These projects will rely heavily on stark PV price declines over the coming years in order to reach completion.
The U.S. Utility PV Market: Demand, Players, Strategy and Project Economics Through 2015 examines in detail the factors that will contribute to making the U.S. utility PV market a $8 billion per year sector by 2015, which include utility procurement strategies, developer and supplier positioning, regulatory influence and project economics within utility territories.

Queen – The Albums Ranked Worst to First (The Studio Album Series)
Published on August 19, 2021 August 19, 2021 by 2loud2oldmusic53 Comments
Here at 2 Loud 2 Old Music, we went through and reviewed all the Studio Albums for the band Queen. And to do this, we are used the 40th Anniversary 2011 Remastered CDs as our source as I picked up the 3 Volume Box Set for Christmas 2020. And with any good series, we will start with their debut album and work our way through all the studio albums in chronological order. There were 15 albums and all with the same band members of Freddie Mercury, Brian May, Roger Taylor and John Deacon. How many bands can say that? Not many.
What was great about going through them all in order is that you see how the band evolved over time and how much they experimented whether it was successful or not. You see the highs and the lows, where the band hit its groove and where they were wandering around lost. They did move soundtracks, the rocked out, they had fantasy songs, rockabilly, disco and even metal. They did it all. Now let's go through and see where they ranked worst to first.
THE WORST – 'MADE IN HEAVEN' (1995):
The album did not have a cohesive feel and it shouldn't since it wasn't really written as an album. It was a last ditch effort to pull as many Freddie songs together as they could for one final release. And I don't think it is one they should've done mainly because all these songs aren't really up to the Queen Standard in my book. There were way too many ballads, they used two songs that were already released as Freddie solo songs and I don't think the material was all that great to begin with. I feel they should've left well enough alone as I think 'Innuendo' was a great way to go out, but what do I know. My Overall Score is a 2.0 Out of 5.0 Stars. There were a few tracks worth having, but overall not enough to make this a must have album.

Queen – 'A Day At The Races' (1976) – Album Review (The Studio Album Series)
Published on April 14, 2021 April 13, 2021 by 2loud2oldmusic42 Comments
For Queen's fifth studio album, 'A Day at the Races' is considered a sort of companion piece to the preview album 'A Night at the Opera'. The only connection I feel really is the fact both are titled after Marx Brother movies. Outside of that, they don't feel connected to me at all. The album was recorded between July 1976 and November 1976 and get its release on December 10, 1976. The album was self-produced by Queen which is the first time they had done that and I am not so sure it worked as well as they hoped. Now their long time producer might be gone, but the band was still in tact. Freddie Mercury, Brian May, Roger Taylor and John Deacon are still going strong.
The album did ship Gold. went to #1 in the UK and #5 in the US and would go on to Platinum status so the band did something right. They released 5 singles and their popularity kept growing with each album release. However, this is not an album I ever really connected to and I gave it enough listens. I actually ended up skipping a couple songs on later listens of the album and that is never a good sign. Now, I am not saying the album is horrible, no as they do make worse ones down the road, I am only saying that I didn't find this one to be as good as a lot of people say it is. Don't shoot me, it is only my opinion and plus, I don't know what the hell I'm talking about half the time anyway.

Queen – 'Queen 40 (Volumes 1-3)- Box Set Review
Published on February 9, 2021 February 7, 2021 by 2loud2oldmusic36 Comments
For Christmas of 2020, I received the 'Queen 40' Box Set, all three volumes. You would think, John, you have most of these on vinyl, why do you want the CDs? Well, easy…these are all remastered CDs from 2011 and each album includes an extra CD E.P. with anywhere from 5 to 7 Bonus tracks that I don't have on the vinyl. So, that is why I wanted this set.
Let me tell you this set is great. They broke it up in to 3 separate volumes with each Volume getting 5 Studio albums so for the cost conscious person, you can buy one volume at a time or if money doesn't matter, get all 3. Now that I have all 3 Volumes, with all 15 Studio albums, I am going to clue you in on something. Each Studio album will get its own, detailed review. My goal is to review all these albums by the end of 2021 and then do an Album Ranking of what I thought was the worst all the way to the one that is first on the list. It is going to be an exciting time at 2 Loud 2 Old Music for 2021!!
Let's go through each Volume starting, of course, with Volume 1…

Housing, Buildings Are Key to Sustainable Development

08:00 am | 24 November 2021

This article is published in collaboration with SWITCH-Asia and Habitat for Humanity.
In the transition to a low-carbon, resilient, and sustainable society and economy, buildings and construction activities play a critical role as they are the biggest sources of greenhouse gas emissions. As a matter of fact, they are responsible for more than 38% of global energy-related carbon-dioxide emissions, higher than any other sector.
The Asia-Pacific region became majority-urban in 2019 for the first time in history, and with more than 2.3 billion people living in cities, the need for a sustainable urban future has never been greater.
Asia's building sector's contribution to energy-related emissions is generally lower than other regions due to inadequate housing conditions for a majority of the population. However, the addition of 1.2 billion new residents in Asia-Pacific cities between now and 2050 will have profound implications for the region's economy, society, and environment. Hence decisions made today will directly influence emission pathways.
This is true not only for the obvious link of energy use that is "built into" buildings—for example, space heating and cooling, electrical appliances, and lighting—but also in terms of construction materials, where for example cement, steel, and plastics carry high "embodied emissions" from their production processes. Here, consumption and production are visibly intertwined—in fact, they are two sides of the same coin.
To tackle buildings' emissions and pressing housing issues holistically, it is important to think and act across sectors, and engage with all stakeholders. Pressing challenges like climate change, housing for all, environmental degradation, and health cannot be tackled one by one and in silos. Rather they need to be approached in an integrated manner.
This "multi-solving" is what sustainable consumption and production (SCP) stands for. SCP is one of the keystones of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals.
Toward inclusive housing
At the fully virtual 8th Asia-Pacific Housing Forum co-organized by the European Union–funded SWITCH-Asia SCP Facility and Habitat for Humanity, taking place on 7–9 December 2021, these issues will be brought forward.
The Housing Forum, with the theme "Building Forward Better for Inclusive Housing," highlights the urgent need for building sustainable and affordable housing through inclusive approaches.
Many developing countries must deal with the challenges of making adequate housing available, as well as climate-change mitigation and adaptation, in their building sectors.
When carefully planned, mitigation and adaptation strategies for buildings not only can stimulate the growth of new businesses and jobs, but can also contribute to other development goals such as clean air, healthy environments, access to clean energy and water, and making cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable.
Another critical element that deserves particular attention is the social dimension, as it is in housing that social inequalities are felt most deeply.
Social inequalities have been evident during the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) lockdowns when the most vulnerable could not safely shelter in place because of lack of decent, safe, adequate, and affordable housing. When we talk about housing and health, no one should be left behind. That means tackling all the barriers in what we call the "housing ecosystem."
The housing ecosystem is composed of all the social norms, formal and informal institutions, and trends and events that influence how people act to make changes that they value in their housing situations.
At the center of the housing ecosystem are people, with their capabilities, vulnerabilities, voices, and influence. They are the ones who will make changes around their housing situations and who will define and realize the ways to improve their lives.
Some Asian governments have already made commitments to provide adequate housing to all. This means homes that need to be affordable, safe and secure, and provide healthy living spaces—comfortable in terms of temperature, light, noise, and indoor air quality. This ambition should be the starting point for any intervention on reducing emissions.
Putting human needs at center
In its Regional Roadmap for Buildings and Construction in Asia (2020), the Global Alliance for Building and Construction lays out the many benefits arising from tackling climate challenge holistically by putting human needs at the center, considering resulting social, economic, and health benefits.
For example, improving access to clean energy not only solidifies climate commitments, but also leads to health benefits and poverty alleviation, as air pollution is reduced and employment is created. Community-based micro-entrepreneurs are needed to build and service decentralized renewable-energy installations.
The health impacts of switching to "clean energy" and green buildings are real. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that around 7 million people die every year from air pollution, with just over two-thirds of these premature deaths taking place in Asia.
Buildings and household air pollution can significantly increase the risks of both communicable and non-communicable diseases, including cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, pneumonia, stroke, and lung cancer.
A holistic approach that puts human needs at the center is championed by the uptake of SCP practices. These encourage us to see all sectors as part of a human-built system that can and needs to be changed when joint societal goals, such as those formulated in the SDGs or the Paris Agreement, are not being met.
For example, updating building codes to integrate sustainability and climate change can also integrate mandates for non-toxic building materials, as well as standards for thermal comfort, light, noise, and indoor air quality, thereby preventing diseases and improving residents' well-being.
All stakeholders must be involved to improve the climate impacts of a sector, and any intervention needs to consider its wide-ranging negative and positive impacts.
This is particularly important for policymakers. While climate commitments may be long-term and made at the international level, developing solutions that are meaningful for living conditions and quality of life are immediate and highly local. Therefore, reducing emissions of Asia's building sector must not be done in isolation, but by actively multi-solving the sector's multiple issues, prioritizing the human need for safe, adequate housing.
The EU SWITCH-Asia Program provides a platform for multi-solving partnerships and networks between Europe and Asia, also by supporting the implementation of national strategies and action plans on SCP practices.
With the assistance of the European Commission, Asian countries are supported to transition toward low-carbon, resource-efficient, and more circular economies that contribute to poverty reduction and economic opportunities.
Since 2007, the program has implemented 15 grant projects contributing to sustainable housing in South, Southeast, and East Asia. The program is also providing technical assistance to Pakistan on developing a green building code and to Kyrgyzstan on promoting energy efficiency in the construction sector.
The important support of the European Union results in improving resource efficiency and cleaner production, increasing energy saving housing solutions and access to finance, and contributing in all countries to national strategies and policies on climate mitigation.
The Mongolia experience
The SWITCH-Asia Switch Off Air Pollution (SOAP) Project implemented in Mongolia offers a practical example of how building and ensuring access to sustainable and healthy homes can improve public health outcomes, reduce inequalities, mitigate carbon, and improve urban sustainability and resilience.
To respond to the increasing levels of toxic air pollution in Ulaanbaatar, the world's coldest capital city, SWITCH-Asia SOAP was initiated in 2018 to promote energy efficiency in Mongolia's housing sector.
The project is working to increase community awareness on the importance of insulation and its benefits by promoting a step-by-step approach. This has been done by developing an affordable building retrofit of varying cost and efficiency for households based on the needs and financial capacity of individual families.
"I did not imagine that the heat loss could be decreased so much by only doing insulation of the wall. I am now able to invite my grandchildren home. I plan to finish paying off the current [green] loan and again apply for a loan to finish the remaining insulation," said Dolgorsuren, a project beneficiary.
SOAP retrofitting solutions can save families up to 70% of energy costs if fully implemented. The benefits of these solutions include improved health, increased energy efficiency and comfort, extra savings from heating, and reduced workload from coal burning.
Working toward these objectives, the project's team is active on the ground connecting households with local construction workers, qualified suppliers, and green loans from financial institutions through a standardized delivery model that ensures the quality of the implementation and sustainability of the market mechanism.
Capacity-building of stakeholders of the delivery model is ensured continuously. Furthermore, the developed technical procedures of the project are included in the Construction Codes and Standards on Building Envelope thermal insulation of Mongolia.
Focusing on the most vulnerable
Habitat for Humanity also recognizes that it is marginalized and vulnerable groups that are disproportionately affected by climate change. The organization promotes the use of locally available and sustainably sourced materials and construction practices toward environmentally friendly shelter solutions.
In Nepal, for example, Habitat for Humanity built environmentally friendly bamboo houses using local technologies and locally available materials.
In the Philippines, in partnership with the Hilti Foundation, the organization is using cement frame bamboo technology to build 10,000 housing units that are clean, green, safe, and disaster-resilient.
Other projects Habitat for Humanity has implemented range from solar-power projects to energy-saving cooking stoves to increase energy efficiency of the home.
The time for action to decarbonize the existing and future building stock in Asia is now. But national and local governments must consider which additional solutions in terms of health, safety and security, economic development, and quality of life this leveling-up can provide.
Collaborations between decision-makers and public and private actors across the value chain, as well as occupants, are a prerequisite to achieving a zero-emission, efficient, and resilient buildings and housing sector, ensuring that livelihoods, society and the environment are protected now and in the future.

It's no secret that BATMAN v SUPERMAN had a few things cut from its runtime. In fact, before the flick even hit theaters, it was revealed that an R-rated cut was on its way, and that it featured around thirty minutes of extra footage. Despite the fact that the studio and filmmakers gave BvS the good old college try, it's no secret that many viewers didn't enjoy the film, and fans have been eagerly awaiting the release of a cut that would help to make it a more cohesive experience.
However, if a new report from ComicBook.com is any indication, we may actually get a bit more than we expected.
Before reading ahead, keep in mind that this post may spoil both the R-rated cut of BATMAN v SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE and SUICIDE SQUAD. Read at your own risk.
Obviously, this is pure speculation from the site, but they go on to speculate that this may very well tease a cameo appearance from Lex in SUICIDE SQUAD. As of right now, it's believed that SUICIDE SQUAD will likely take place after the events in BATMAN v SUPERMAN, and as such, seeing Lex in Arkham wouldn't be out of place. It's also worth nothing that while much of Task Force X is being held in Belle Reve, Harley is likely to get transferred from Arkham to meet with the rest.
What do you think of this theory? Do you expect to see more of Lex in SUICIDE SQUAD? Let us know your thoughts down below!

Dishes such as paella, tabbouleh, cold tomato soup, called salmorejo or hummus have been cooked in the School.
2.	Before deployment, the Spanish soldiers were undergoing cooking and catering course for improving abilities in two important catering schools in Spain. In this project Spain has also provided catering equipment to the Technical School to promote this professional training.
3.	The aim of this course is to contribute to the improvement of the local economy of the area by providing skills to the new generations and promote the Catering industry in the area and also to increase bonding with the Lebanese population as part of the UNIFIL contingents contribution to the development of Lebanon in the framework of UN resolution 1701.

3 Takeaways From Bruins' Game 1 Win Over the Hurricanes
August 13, 2020 August 13, 2020 by Scott Roche
They had to wait an extra day, but in the end, it was worth the wait for the Boston Bruins in Game 1 of their Eastern Conference first-round series with the Carolina Hurricanes. Scheduled to open Tuesday night at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, the Bruins and Hurricanes had their opening game moved back a day after the Tampa Bay Lightning and Columbus Blue Jackets had their Game 1 go five overtimes.

In the round-robin tournament, the Bruins did not resemble the same team that won 44 games during the shortened regular season and collected 100 points to capture the Presidents' Trophy. After a winless tournament, Boston went from the top-seed to the fourth-seed in seven days.
Boston opened the first round of the playoffs with a much-needed 4-3 double-overtime win over the Hurricanes. More importantly, the Bruins saw positive signs they didn't see in their three previous games and some still concerning trends that they need to fix moving forward. Here are three takeaways from their Game 1 victory.
1. Finally Production From the First Line
In their three round-robin tournament games against the Philadelphia Flyers, Lightning and Washington Capitals, the Bruins failed to get much production on the scoresheet from their top line of David Pastrnak, Patrice Bergeron and Brad Marchand. In fact, the only point that line recorded was an assist by Bergeron in the second game against the Lightning.

Wednesday against the Hurricanes, the "Production Line" as they're called, played a big role in the win. After Carolina grabbed a 1-0 first period lead, Marchand collected a loose puck off an offensive zone face-off and made a cross-ice pass to Rocket Richard Trophy co-winner Pastrnak who was able to one-time the pass over the shoulder of Hurricanes goalie Petr Mrazek to tie the game.
In the second overtime, the line connected to score the game-winning goal and again it was Marchand, who had 59 regular-season assists, who set up the goal. Leading the rush into the Hurricanes zone, Marchand drew both Carolina defensemen and found Bergeron alone in the right circle. Bergeron settled the pass and calmly beat Mrazek inside the far post for his fourth career playoff overtime goal.

If the Bruins are going to make a deep run in the postseason after last season's trip to the Stanley Cup Final, they will need to continue to get production from their top three forwards. After just one assist in the round-robin, they had two goals against the Hurricanes' that led to a double-overtime win and a 1-0 series lead.
2. Fourth Line Shined
It's unusual for a fourth line to see some serious ice time in the playoffs, but in Game 1, Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy turned to his fourth line for a spark. Chris Wagner, Joakim Nordstrom and Sean Kuraly had their best game since the season pause and delivered a much-needed key shift.

Kuraly led the way with 17:34 minutes of ice-time, while Wagner played 17:12 and Nordstrom logged 15:29. The trio had eight shots on net, with Wagner leading the way with five. Their most important shift of the game was early in the third period after the Bruins regained the lead at 3-2 on a David Krejci goal just 59 seconds into the final period.
Joakim Nordstrom, Boston Bruins (Jess Starr/The Hockey Writers)
Carolina applied their best-sustained pressure after the goal for nearly three minutes before Cassidy sent his fourth line on the ice. They immediately relieved the pressure, tilted the ice and nearly doubled the lead when Kuraly found Wagner alone at the side of the net. His shot was stopped by Mrazek, but their one-minute shift and aggressive forecheck turned the tide back into the Bruins favor.
3. Power Play Still Struggling
During the regular season, the Bruins had the second-ranked power-play unit, behind only the Edmonton Oilers. Since they arrived in Toronto, they have looked nothing like the dangerous unit they were before the season pause on March 12.
In three round-robin games, the power play went a combined 0-for-9. Against the Hurricanes, things did not get better. They failed to score on their four opportunities, including one in overtime. It was not a case of them being frustrated by Mrazek, but it was the lack of execution. They were sloppy entering the zone, made bad passes and bad decisions.
Related: Bruins' 2018 Draft Class Update
Carolina coach Rod Brind'Amour challenged the Bruins' second goal of the game in the second period by Charlie Coyle that gave them a 2-1 lead. Brind'Amour lost the challenge and the Hurricanes were assessed a penalty. Instead of getting some breathing room with a power-play goal, Pastrnak turned the puck over at the Hurricanes blue line and Carolina's Brock McGinn pounced on the giveaway and tied the game on a breakaway.

Pastrnak led the Bruins with 20 power-play goals during the season. Torey Krug and Bergeron each had 26 assists on the man advantage and Marchand had 5 goals and 23 assists. One of the Bruins failures in the round-robin was lack of power-play goals. If they are going to advance by the Hurricanes and move deeper into the playoffs, they need to solve their power-play woes and do it quickly.
Big Win Before Quick Turnaround
After three disappointing showings in Toronto and being delayed an extra day by the Blue Jackets and Lightning five-overtime thriller, the Bruins got the monkey off their back with their first win North of the border in Game 1 against the Hurricanes. With Game 2 just over 24 hours away, the Bruins can take early control of the series with a second straight victory.

When dealing with a restless child at bedtime, a parent may serve up a glass of warm milk. But from a physiological perspective, does the warm milk actually cause one nod off?
Proponents of this myth may claim that milk contains tryptophan, which causes sleepiness. However tryptophan can't cross the blood-brain barrier unless insulin is present, experts noted. So you'd also have to ingest carbohydrates with the milk to raise your blood sugar to absorb the tryptophan. And even if you do, the amount of tryptophan in milk is so small it has virtually no effect.
"What we're finding actually is that the milk does not have enough tryptophan to help a person fall asleep," says Dr. Sudeepta Varma, a board-certified psychiatrist and clinical assistant professor of psychiatry at NYU.
The fact the milk is warm may have a soothing effect, similar to having a warm blanket or snuggling with a teddy bear.
And that pretty much puts this myth to bed.

Eagles/NFL
Eagles-Cowboys predictions by the Inquirer's three beat writers
Both teams are 3-3. Something's got to give.
The Dallas Cowboys' Ezekiel Elliott runs for a touchdown during the second half against the Jets.Read moreAdam Hunger / AP
by Paul Domowitch, Jeff McLane, and Les Bowen
Les Bowen
I am not in a predicting mood this week, given both teams' injuries and inconsistencies, but it's part of the job, so here goes:
I am willing to ride with the Eagles just a little bit farther, despite that voice in the back of my head warning that a team that falls behind by double digits in five of six games is a disaster waiting to unfold.
I guess I still have a decent amount of faith in Carson Wentz, against a defense that has underperformed and is a bit banged-up. And if the Eagles' pass-rushers can't get traction against backup Cowboys tackles, then we were fooling ourselves about this team's talent level all along. This week will tell us. I'm unsure how the juggled linebacking rotation will affect the team's ability to control Ezekiel Elliott, but nobody has really beaten the Eagles with the run game this year.
I don't know what to make of the Jalen Mills and Ronald Darby situations, whether they will really help that much, but they can't be worse than what we saw last week. In picking the Eagles to win, I'm assuming Amari Cooper doesn't play. If he does, well, that might be unfortunate.
Once more into the breach.
Prediction: Eagles 29, Cowboys 27
Paul Domowitch
This is a difficult game to pick because it's probably going to be decided by how many of each team's injured players are able to play. And at the moment, it's too early to know the answer to that.
Both teams have key players hurt. If the Cowboys don't have wide receiver Amari Cooper (quad contusion), and offensive tackles Tyron Smith (ankle) and La'el Collins (knee) and cornerbacks Byron Jones and Anthony Brown (hamstrings), then you really have to like the Eagles' chances in this game. Especially if they get two of their own injured cornerbacks, Jalen Mills and Ronald Darby, back.
Not having to deal with Cooper, who had 10 catches for 217 yards and three touchdowns in the Cowboys' Week 14 win over them last December, would be huge for an Eagles defense that is 30th in passing yards allowed and 28th in touchdown passes given up.
People were ready to put Dak Prescott in Canton after the Cowboys started out 3-0 and Prescott had thrown nine touchdown passes and had 128.0 passer rating. But in their three straight losses, he has an 82.7 rating, including just two touchdown passes and four interceptions.
The Eagles need to get pressure on Prescott, which is a big ask for a pass rush that has just four sacks in five games against teams not called the New York Jets. But if Smith and Collins can't play, maybe it won't be so big.
Jeff McLane
The NFL is weird. Take the Jets, for instance. They looked like they couldn't beat Alabama when they lost to the Eagles two weeks ago, but they get Sam Darnold back and stun the Cowboys. The Eagles, meanwhile, went to the Vikings and made Kirk Cousins look like Fran Tarkenton.
I don't know what the NFL law of averages suggests will happen Sunday. We still don't know if Amari Cooper or Dallas' tackles will play. But I got to believe that both the Cowboys and Eagles will bounce back. Of course, that means that both teams can't win.
But I think Carson Wentz is better than Dak Prescott, and when it doubt, go with the more polished quarterback.
I've covered pro football for the better part of the last four decades, including 35 Super Bowls.
I objectively report and write about the Eagles.
Les Bowen has covered the Eagles since 2002. Before that, he covered the Flyers for 13 years. He came to the Daily News from the Charlotte Observer in May 1983, just as the Sixers were winning the NBA championship. He thought, "Gosh, this sort of thing must happen all the time here."

Jupiter Ascending: A Short Review
Jupiter Ascending is an interesting movie, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. The Wachowski's haven't given us anything as deep or meaningful as Cloud Atlus, nor something as all around fun as Speed Racer, but instead we are given a very hackneyed science fiction universe. It seems to be composed of some twist on the gods of Olympus, with some Star Wars, Flash Gordon, Dune, and a dash of Soylent Green thrown in to make it an amalgam of awkward tastes.
The story is that of lowly toilet cleaning Jupiter Jones (Mila Kunis), a genetic reincarnation of intergalactic royalty, being found by her absurdly rich "family" that wants to harvest the Earth's people for an elixir of life. Thwarting the elites and helping Jupiter find her new path is Caine Wise (Channing Tatum), a part wolf super soldier bred for battle. Along the way there's a lot of explosions, robots, some dragon people, and even a Terry Gilliam cameo.
They didn't even try to mask the mythological elements. The elixer (bath juice) is called "nectar" and there are numerous statues of the Greek gods seen around the space stations.
After considering this film for the last four days- it isn't quite fair to say it's a terrible movie. It has plenty of merits such as decent acting, wonderful visual effects, and plenty of humor. The entire film's design work is downright stunning. Unfortunately it is highly predictable and cliched. In trying to keep this review as short as possible I'll go as far to say that this film is something that will fully entertain people if they go in looking for uncomplicated entertainment. In that sense, it's a great popcorn film.
Simply put, the Wachowski's have given us a sci-fi space opera spectacle without the timeless story that should've been at its core. They have, however, laid the groundwork for a potentially huge future. The universe they've created here is mentioned by many characters as being far vaster than anything they've shown in the movie. Perhaps we might someday get to see something much more worthwhile in the future of this new universe. Something new and groundbreaking to set it apart from the typical sci-fi fair we've been inundated with for years. Something worthy of the ideas floating around Jupiter Ascending. As it is, it's a couple of hours of cinematic adventure, and I might even go see it again just for the gorgeous visuals.
On a side note, maybe they should've called it Jupiter Descending instead, seeing as she spends roughly a quarter of the film in a state of falling from things.

Swedish authorities forced to return $1.5 million in bitcoins to jailed drug dealer
By superadmin
The Swedish authorities find themselves in an unusual situation. They must return about $1.5 million in bitcoins to a convicted drug dealer. All due to the fact that the prosecutor's office made a mistake in drawing up a lawsuit in 2019.
In 2019, a Swedish court found a man guilty of selling drugs through the Internet and receiving illegal proceeds from drug trafficking in the amount of 36 BTC. But the prosecutor's office did not indicate the number of coins in bitcoins, but recalculated the drug dealer's income at the current exchange rate in Swedish kronor in a lawsuit filed with the court. At that time, in the midst of the crypto winter, 36 bitcoins were worth 1.3 million Swedish kronor, or $100,000. The court found the man guilty, sentenced him to two years in prison and ordered him to pay a fine in the amount of the illegal income received after his release. Namely, 1.3 million Swedish kronor.
In 2021, the man was released, but by that time bitcoin jumped in price $45000. To satisfy the court's request, calculated in Swedish kronor, Swedish law enforcement agencies needed to sell only 3 BTC out of 36 BTC earned by the drug dealer. The remaining 33 BTC worth $1.5 million are to be returned to the freed drug dealer.
In a conversation with a Swedish radio station, prosecutor Tuve Kullberg, who drafted the lawsuit in 2017 and indicated illegal cryptocurrency earnings in Swedish kronor, called the situation "unhappy in many ways."
"The lesson to take away from this is that value must remain in bitcoin and the profit of crime must be 36 bitcoins, whatever the value of bitcoin is at the time. The more we expand our knowledge in our organizations, the fewer mistakes we make."
He added that the error was due to the fact that this was the first case of this type in the history of Swedish law.

Ebola: "No need to panic" – says Director Njai
Njai, has stated that the ministry of health and social welfare and the government is doing everything possible to protect the people of this country from the Ebola virus. He made these remarks at his offices at the Kotu central medical stores premises. He stated that they are committed to the fight against the Ebola Virus that has emerged in the West African-region since February 2014. He said Ebola, which was discovered in the African continent in 1979, is not an air borne disease; that it can be contracted through body fluids, blood and touching dead bodies of infected patients without protective gears. Mr. Njai urged everybody to encourage people to be washing their hands with soap. He advised that people should report any sign of fever, bleeding both internal and external, headache, joint pain to the nearest health facility for rapid response. "Everybody should be on the watch out, there is no cause to alarm," he said. He said health workers in the country are trained on how to collect samples, but the samples are analysed and tested in Dakar. He said they received protective gears and information materials from the world health organisation on how to handle a corpse, how the health worker should protect himself or herself, etc. He added that UNICEF is also supporting in creating awareness by training chiefs and villagers on Ebola and social mobilisation in various regions of the country. Mr. Njai said the President donated some items like reagents, laboratory test kits and personal protective gears to help in the fight against Ebola. He said they held a training of trainers' session and are coming up with further training. He noted that they received a mobile Laboratory Van from the West African Health Organisation (WAHO) to facilitate the transportation of samples to Dakar in case of any possible detection or suspected case. He said the van driver was also trained. He noted that this mobile laboratory Van is for Guniea Bissau, Senegal and the Gambia for referral of samples to Dakar, the only world health organisation (WHO) recommended reference laboratory in the Sub region, where results could be ready within 24 hours. On the preparedness of the Ministry, he said Edward Francis Small Teaching Hospital has already put in place an isolation centre where people can be kept or quarantined if they have a case. The director of health education and promotion said recently they have introduced a 'wash hand with soap' procedure at all the border posts for all passengers entering the Gambia; collection of medical history of persons entering The Gambia, their country or community of origin, their place of residence in The Gambia, their phone numbers and so on, so that whenever the needed arises they would be able to track them. He gave assurance that public health officers are on the ground working with other security officers at the border post 24 hours daily even before the Ebola outbreak to handle any possible health issue. He further stated that at the airport similar operations are in place, noting these include the use of a screen and thermometer to check the temperatures of passengers coming into the country. He remarked, "We are reinforcing our surveillance system and strengthening our preparedness for the fight against Ebola. Everything is in place, we are aware and measures are in place to protect and prevent the country from the deadly virus." He concluded that preparations to protect the country are at high gears.]]>

The biggest positive change in facelifting techniques over the past five years has been the addition of volume restoration in the face with a person's own fat. Some people have always had thin faces and others have heavier faces, but the fat may be in the wrong area. The result is that the shape of the face is not as pretty or young as someone might wish. The advent of refined techniques of using fat as a volumizer has revolutionized our ability to sculpt the face in ways never before possible. The key to success is using small little bits of fat so that it "takes" in its new location and to not overdo the correction. This is particularly important in enhancing the shape and fill of the lips. Fat is now very commonly used in place of cheek or chin implants made of silicone.
Fat grafting of the face can help even young people who have thin faces without much fullness in the cheekbone area or even the chin. We have used fat grafting to fill facial depressions even for young women in their twenties. More commonly, we use it as an isolated procedure for signs of aging in the late thirties or forties in the "tear trough" area, smile grooves around the mouth, lips, and temples. All of these same areas are frequently filled at the time of facelifting as well.
Facial fat grafting can be done in our fully accredited operating facility under local anesthesia with sedation or a light general anesthesia if desired. The areas of the face where the fat is to be placed are marked. The patient can select the area where she desires fat to be harvested which is done with specialized liposuction techniques. The fat is carefully washed with saline and antibiotics and then reinjected using tiny insertion tubes.
Swelling and bruising can be a little more significant with fat injection than with fillers because the fat is more globular and we use larger volumes to get the best result. Cooling of the area with cool compresses and elevation after surgery will minimize the swelling and bruising. Many patients are able to return to work in the first week following surgery. Pain is minimal but the area where the fat was harvested can feel like a bruise.
We usually overcorrect the depressed regions of the face initially, because some of the volume injected always absorbs. This may be related to the fact that some of the fluid around the fat is saline which the body absorbs easily. It is sometimes necessary to add additional fat in a second procedure depending on the severity of the initial depression. The advantage of using fat, however, is that it appears to live and grow in the new area permanently. We have observed improvement in the quality and texture of the overlying skin as well. Whether this is do to a stem cell effect or simply the thicker fatty layer is not known.
The most common reason for a less than perfect result with fat injection is that the patient may experience more absorption of the fat than we would like. However, this outcome is easily addressed with an additional fat grafting session. Oil cysts and rarely, infection can occur, both of which are treatable by aspiration or antibiotics.
For patients who are requiring greater amounts of filler to maintain a young look, the use of fat can be a more economical way to rejuvenate the face.

5 things to know about new Jets OC Jeremy Bates
Bates previously called plays as the offensive coordinator for the Broncos in 2008 and and the Seahawks in 2010. That was the extent of his coordinator experience. They were also 24th with a 35.5 percent third-down conversion rate and 29th with just 269 first downs all season. Quarterback Josh McCown did surprisingly well for the Jets despite being 38 years old, but he didn't exactly bring to the table the consistent production that the team could rely on to head on the right path to success.

New England Patriots To Face Philadelphia Eagles At Super Bowl
Philadelphia's defense came to play, too. How the Eagles and Foles deal with the Patriots' defense is nothing to shrug off, of course. Still, they looked terrific in the playoffs and should pose a challenge for the Pats. Instead?

Miami vs NC State basketball
Guard Bruce Brown is coming off one of his best outings of the year, scoring 19 points on 7-of-8 shooting (3-for-3 from beyond the arc), with four rebounds and nine assists.

Police: Escort aids in scam artist sting – The Daily Gazette
Police: Escort aids in scam artist sting
From most accounts, Schoen LaBombard is a smooth talker. He learned how to speak the lingo of police
By Justin Mason | December 5, 2008
PHOTOGRAPHER: Justin Mason
From most accounts, Schoen LaBombard is a smooth talker.
He learned how to speak the lingo of police officers and studied their techniques. He then used his talents to coax a 33-year-old a female escort into believing he was an investigator from the Albany County Sheriff's Office involved in a bogus prostitution sting operation, according to authorities.
"He knew all the jargon," Albany County Sheriff James Campbell said Thursday. "This guy is a professional scam artist."
LaBombard, 41, of Menands, was arrested on felony charges of kidnapping, grand larceny, criminal impersonation, coercion and rape after he was arrested and charged with trying to scam the escort again at the Days Inn off Nott Terrace in Schenectady. He was arraigned on the charges in Guilderland Town Court and ordered held without bail in Albany County Jail.
The charges this week are among a string of scams LaBombard is accused of orchestrating in the Capital Region and across upstate New York.
In the most recent Albany County case, investigators say LaBombard contacted an escort service and spent an hour with the woman at a Guilderland hotel the day before Thanksgiving. He had sex with the woman, paid her $250 and asked her to return the following morning.
When the escort returned, LaBombard identified himself as a sheriff's investigator, showed her a Rensselaer County Sheriff's Department non-driver's personal identification card and then informed her she was under police surveillance. He then advised her she could avoid arrest if she paid him $2,500, a price he identified as the cost for the ongoing surveillance.
"She was under the impression he was a police officer and that everything was going to come out into the open," Campbell said. "He even made her believe he was talking into a police radio."
After receiving the cash, LaBombard coerced the escort into having sex at a hotel room in Colonie, investigators said. He would later claim she could clear her name of federal charges if she paid him more money, police allege.
Last weekend, the escort informed her husband about what had happened with LaBombard, and he then contacted the Albany County Sheriff's Department. Deputies arranged a sting operation in Schenectady and arrested LaBombard, who is accused of seeking another $2,500 from the woman to clear her name with "the feds," according to investigators.
LONG RAP SHEET
The charges are only the most recent in a string of cases LaBombard has open in Albany County. In 2004, he was arrested in Colonie on the charges of possession of a forged instrument, grand larceny and falsifying business records.
The charges apparently stemmed from a hunting camouflage clothing business LaBombard had started with two partners in 2002, according to published reports. LaBombard was accused of stealing a company check, forging his partners' signatures and cashing it for $8,550.
Two years later, he was arrested in the city of Albany on the charges of identity theft and grand larceny. Then in March 2007 he was arrested in Menands on yet another grand larceny charge.
Both cases are still pending, according to the Albany County District Attorney's Office. Apparently, however, LaBombard remained free because he was cooperating in investigations in other counties.
In addition, LaBombard was charged with three felony counts of grand larceny in Rensselaer County after allegedly stealing checks from his employer in 2004. State police in Schodack arrested him after an investigation into the theft of a company checkbook.
LaBombard's most publicized scam dates back to 1994, when he bilked more than $27,000 from businesses and residents living in the Batavia area outside of Rochester. LaBombard allegedly used a published news article about himself to convince people he was a member of the U.S. Bobsled Team and in need of sponsors for an upcoming trip to Europe.
Though once a member of the U.S. Bobsled Federation, LaBombard failed a physical in 1993 and was left off the team, according to stories in the Batavia Daily News. He was subsequently convicted of forgery, scheming to defraud and criminal possession of a forged instrument.
After serving six months in jail, he was placed on five years' probation and ordered to repay $27,709 in restitution to his victims. But before long, he was arrested again, this time in Lake Placid on charges that he burglarized his grandmother's house and stole checks.
In 1997, he agreed to serve a little more than a year in state prison for violating the terms of his probation. He was eligible for parole in 1999, according to state Department of Correctional Services records.
Campbell said LaBombard is well known among Albany sheriff's deputies. When he inquired about the man to a bailiff at the jail, the deputy knew exactly who he was talking about.
"Right away he thought about [LaBombard]," Campbell said.
