Trapped in an unchecked cycle, Canucks’ free fall accelerates with each new loss

Winning and playing well generates inertia that can carry teams through difficult patches, but constant losing and underperforming can destroy a team, too, making it frail and even more likely to lose. Unchecked, that cycle only gets worse. The post Trapped in an unchecked cycle, Canucks’ free fall accelerates with each new loss appeared first on Sportsnet.ca. Source Link: Source expo.vision

Rite&Reason: Young Irishman reflects on recent Armagh service

Image
In early September, when my dad asked if I wanted to join him, my mum and my younger sister Eliza to attend a special church service in Armagh on October 21st, my first reaction was this: “Cool! I have never been to Armagh and this will mean a day off school to meet some well-known people, possibly President Higgins, Taoiseach Micheál Martin and maybe Queen Elizabeth! ” It didn’t turn out that way, but Boris Johnson did speak to Eliza as he left the cathedral. There was a lot of controversy on television and social media as the day approached for the Service of Reflection and Hope to mark the centenary of the partition of Ireland and the formation of Northern Ireland, which was organised by the Catholic, Church of Ireland, Presbyterian and Methodist leaders. However, this publicity actually encouraged me to think more about my own sense of being Irish and my family history. For example, last July we went to Clonakilty, in west Cork, for our summer holiday. This was close to Béal na blá...

Dublin is fifth busiest real estate market in Europe

Image
Dublin is the fifth busiest real estate market in Europe with more than €3 billion invested between the end of last year and the third quarter of 2021, according to a new report by consultancy PwC and the Urban Land Institute, a US-based think tank. This put the Irish capital on a par with Paris and ahead of cities such as Oslo, Milan and Manchester. London came top with €16 billion of capital inflows, followed by the German cities of Frankfurt, Berlin and Munich. The report, which is based on the views of 844 property professionals, ranked Dublin 13th out of 31 European cities for real estate prospects, in other words investment and development opportunities, down two places from last year, “perhaps reflecting that the gains from Brexit have now largely been realised”. A number of companies, particularly financial firms, have moved or opened new EU head offices in the Irish capital since the Brexit referendum was passed in 2016. Nonetheless, Dublin’s ranking is up from 26th in 2012. I...

Our Renewable Future Will Run On Copper

Renewable energy is considered by some to be one of the most effective tools to reduce global carbon emissions and fight climate change. However, building technologies like solar and wind power plants or electric vehicles (EVs) can be mineral-intensive. Copper is considered an essential metal for renewables. The metal is highly conductive, can easily be shaped into pipes, wires, or sheets, and can remove heat far more rapidly than other metals. In fact, copper itself is a sustainable material. The metal is 100% recyclable and can be used repeatedly… Source Link: Source expo.vision
