    Indeed. Not so long ago Stu Cowan, with a couple of sports sociologists, wrote “Skating on Thin Ice.” The book was occasioned by the Habs signing a young man who been convicted of sexual misconduct. It describes a situation wherein sexual misconduct is “normal” in Canada’s hockey system. From boys to adult men. Hockey is a place where sexual misconduct is groomed.

    Not a safe place for our sisters, daughters, granddaughters, or women friends to be hanging out. This is a men’s health issue.

    WTF are coaches and parents thinking, creating and condoning this?

  2. 🏒🥅 It sure looks that way.
    My respect for team’s leadership diminished as I watched McDrai stop listening to coach, stop playing 200-ft hockey, and w they blamed goalies and coaches for poor season. Add the McD “hire” of a reputed bully as new coach, the signing of a sexual predator, and Drai lauding the bully-coach as a “man.”
    WTF is this telling the boys and girls who love hockey?

    I returned to hockey fandom after 40+ years
    because it was exciting to watch McDrai.

    In the coming days I’ll do a ritual purging of Oilers jerseys etc. I’m sad about this. But, I can’t support this team anymore.

    I feel for the people of Oilerville who’ve been let down by these leadership fails. But I’m moving on. This season, and henceforth, I’ll be rooting for the Habs. They appear to be building something with good team culture. Habs Cup before an Oilers Cup? We shall see.

  3. “Gorton stated that… he wanted to make Montreal a destination again, and that would be done only by building a team that gives players an opportunity to win.”

    The HuGo rebuild, in hockey’s sacred city, is a marvellous thing to behold. Young. Talented. Fast. Exciting!

    Will they compete for Stanley in 2027? 🤞 🏆

    Excerpt: "Introducing #KareniaMikimotoi

    "The species responsible for recent events in #SouthAustralia beaches, #KMikimotoi, causes harmful #algal blooms in #Asia, #Europe, #SouthAfrica and #SouthAmerica, as well as #Australia and #NewZealand. These blooms all caused fish deaths, and some also caused #breathing difficulties among local #beachgoers.

    "The most drastic of these K. mikimotoi blooms have occurred in China over the past two decades. In 2012, more than 300 square kilometres of abalone farms were affected, causing about A$525 million in lost production.

    Explaining the toxic effects

    "Microalgae can damage the gills of fish and shellfish, preventing them from breathing. This is the main cause of death. But some studies have also found damage to the gastrointestinal tracts and livers of fish.

    "Tests using fish gill cells clearly show the dramatic toxic effect of K. mikimotoi. When the fish gill cells were exposed to intact K. mikimotoi cells, after 3.5 hours more than 80% of the fish cells had died.

    "Fortunately, the toxin does not persist in the environment after the K. mikimotoi cells are dead. So once the bloom is over, the marine environment can recover relatively quickly.

    "Its toxicity is partly due to the algae’s production of 'reactive oxygen species', reactive forms of oxygen molecules which can cause the deaths of cells in high doses. K. mikimotoi cells may also produce lipid (fat) molecules that cause some toxic effects.

    "Finally, a very dense bloom of microalgae can sometimes reduce the amount of dissolved oxygen in the water column, which means there is less oxygen for other marine life.

    "The human health effects are not very well known but probably relate to the reactive oxygen species being an irritant.

    "K. mikimitoi cells can also produce 'mucilage', a type of thick, gluey substance made of complex sugars, which can accumulate #bacteria inside it. This can cause 'sea foam', which was evident on beaches last week.

    "A question for many people is whether increasing water temperatures make blooms of K. mikimotoi more likely.

    "Another concern is whether nutrient runoff from farms, cities and #aquaculture could cause more harmful algal blooms.

    "Unfortunately, for Australia at least, the answer to these questions is we don’t know yet. While we know some harmful algal blooms do increase when nutrient runoff is higher, others actually prefer fewer nutrients or colder temperatures.

    "We do know warmer water species seem to be moving further south along the Australian coastline, changing #phytoplankton species abundance and distribution.

    "While some microalgal blooms can cause bioluminescence that is beautiful to watch, others such as K. mikimotoi can cause skin and respiratory irritations.

    If you notice discoloured water, fish deaths or excessive sea foam along the coast or in an estuary, avoid fishing or swimming in the area and notify local primary industry or environmental authorities in your state."

  14. "Hotter oceans
    exacerbate the sea level rise and extreme storms that threaten billions of people, as well as driving marine heatwaves that decimate sea life and undermine coastal livelihoods, scientists warned."

    "The average surface temperature was 21.1C, with the rising marine heat a stark indicator of the climate crisis. More than 90% of the heat trapped by carbon dioxide from fossil fuel burning enters the oceans."

    "Most of the planet-heating CO2 from fossil fuel burning and forest destruction is absorbed by the oceans. However, a hotter ocean is less efficient at absorbing CO2. This is potentially weakening one of the planet’s most important natural buffers against global heating, the scientists said."

    “Fossil fuel emissions need to be rapidly reduced. Meanwhile, it is essential that countries protect marine and coastal ecosystems. Kelp beds, mangroves and marshes absorb carbon and coral reefs protect against storms and provide habitat. More than 190 governments have committed to protect and conserve at least 30% of the planet by 2030, and now is the time to turn that commitment into effective, durable conservation on the ground.” >>

  15. Watching the #NHLPlayoffs and the seismic activity tracker in Montreal and it is genuinely hilarious. The little spike you see at 22:10 is when Montreal scored a goal that ended up being offside.

    I am not a #Habs fan, but I cheer for Canada. Also, the idea of the #StanleyCup and the #WalterCup being in the same city is worth cheering for the #Canadiens. I also like #Youppi.

  21. #ClimateChange Contributes to Shift in #LakeErie’s Harmful #AlgalBlooms

    Blooms over the past decade have started earlier in July and had longer peaks, according to #NOAA researchers.

    By Kathiann M. Kowalski
    July 26, 2024

    "Lake Erie’s harmful algal blooms have started sooner and had longer peak periods over the past decade compared to earlier years, newly released data shows. Warming temperatures linked to climate change are a cause, according to researchers for NOAA’s National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science, with interactions among species likely playing a role as well.

    "The NOAA scientists discussed the shift and forecast a moderate to above-moderate algal bloom for the lake’s western basin this summer during a briefing last month at Ohio State University and Ohio Sea Grant’s Stone Laboratory, off the coast of Put-in-Bay on Lake Erie.

    "Algal blooms occur when #cyanobacteria, or blue-green algae, grow out of control due to a combination of excess #nutrients, #weather patterns and other #ecological factors. The blooms can be a serious public health problem because some types of cyanobacteria produce toxins. #Microcystin, for example, can lead to skin rashes, gut problems and liver and kidney issues. Relatively high levels of it in August 2014 prompted a two-day shutdown of #Toledo’s public #WaterSupply, which comes from Lake Erie."
