Opinion
An effort deserving of support.
Queen Victoria is short for Victorious, is and is a translation of the name Boudicca from the Early on 1st millennium common era when Boudicca attempted to drive the Romans from Britain.
Home rule + pax Britannia was accomplished in the first half of the 19th century when Boudicca’s namesake accomplished it, noted as a Golden age for humanity cuz relative peace was in place.
Peace was relative particularly because the US civil war raged.
So, to give Peace a try, we won’t publish Sunday and Monday as You observe any relativity that makes you happy.

Maybe not a deranged killer, or not a heart attack, or a blown tire or mechanical failure. It could be a distracted driver who has not gotten his ticket as yet.
What ever the reason you are better off to walk on the side of the street that faces the oncoming lane of traffic to avoid being hit.
Remember your injury is not yours alone, you are connected and your loss is our community loss.
When people say there are only two sexes, they are typically referring to a binary biological classification based on the primary function in sexual reproduction. In this model:
* Males are defined by their role in producing small, mobile gametes called sperm. They typically have XY chromosomes and reproductive systems adapted for producing and delivering sperm.
* Females are defined by their role in producing large, relatively immobile gametes called eggs (ova). They typically have XX chromosomes and reproductive systems adapted for producing eggs, fertilization, and often gestation.
This binary understanding of sex is rooted in the observation of these distinct reproductive roles across many species, including humans. It focuses on biological attributes such as:
* Chromosomes: The presence of XX chromosomes is typically associated with female development, while XY is typically associated with male development.
* Gonads: Ovaries in females produce eggs, and testes in males produce sperm.
* Hormones: Estrogen and progesterone are often associated with female development, while testosterone is often associated with male development.
* Anatomy: Differences in internal and external reproductive organs.
It’s important to note that while this binary model is common and reflects the majority of the population, it doesn’t account for the existence of intersex individuals. Intersex is an umbrella term for people born with sex characteristics (chromosomes, hormones, gonads, or anatomy) that don’t fit typical binary notions of male or female. These variations are naturally occurring.
Furthermore, it’s crucial to distinguish between sex (a biological construct) and gender (a social and personal construct related to one’s internal sense of self and how they express that identity). While sex is often assigned at birth based on visible biological characteristics, gender identity can be more complex and exist beyond a binary of male and female.
Sex
For purposes of financing the disqualified criteria can be only biological. i.e. birth certificate status of physical sex organs.
Queer
The term queer can have nothing to do with either of these criteria but be in the mind of the beholder as a power to dominate exclude or denigrate a particular person, class of persons or place.
Neck guards
Adam Johnson is dead and four decades of neck guards in minor hockey have not persuaded broad usage in the big leagues.
Neck guards in minor hockey have a history rooted in a tragic incident. In 1975, Ontario Junior A league goalie Kim Crouch suffered a severe neck laceration from a skate blade. Following this near-fatal injury, his father developed the first neck guard to allow Kim to return to playing. This event spurred the initial adoption of neck guards, particularly in Canadian minor hockey leagues.
Over the following decades, neck guards became increasingly common in minor hockey across Canada. Many provincial and local hockey organizations mandated their use for players under a certain age. The Bureau de normalisation du Québec (BNQ) certification became a standard, ensuring the quality and protective capability of neck guards used in Canada.
In the United States, the adoption of mandatory neck guards in minor hockey has been less uniform historically, often varying by state or local association. However, following the death of Adam Johnson, who suffered a fatal neck cut in a professional game in England in October 2023, there has been a significant push for mandatory neck protection at all levels. As a result, USA Hockey mandated neck laceration protection for all players under the age of 18, effective August 1, 2024.
Use in Professional Hockey:
Currently, neck guards are not mandatory in the National Hockey League (NHL). While some players choose to wear them, the majority do not. Concerns about comfort, potential hindrance to performance, and tradition are often cited as reasons for this resistance.
However, the conversation around neck guards in professional hockey has intensified following recent serious neck injuries in hockey globally. Some NHL players have begun to wear neck guards voluntarily, and there is ongoing discussion about whether the league and the NHL Players’ Association might eventually agree to make them mandatory, similar to the evolution of helmet and visor rules.
Other professional leagues, such as the American Hockey League (AHL) and leagues in Europe (Germany, Sweden, Finland, and England), have implemented mandatory neck guard policies. The International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) also mandates neck guards for all its tournaments, including the World Junior Championships and the World Championships.
Effectiveness and Usefulness:
Neck guards are designed to protect the vulnerable neck and throat area from lacerations caused by skate blades, hockey sticks, and pucks. They are typically made of cut-resistant materials like Kevlar or Spectra fibers, often encased in a comfortable fabric.
Studies and real-life incidents suggest that neck guards can be effective in preventing or reducing the severity of neck lacerations. While no protective equipment can guarantee complete safety, neck guards provide a crucial barrier against sharp objects that could otherwise cause life-threatening injuries to major blood vessels and nerves in the neck.
Have they ever saved anyone from catastrophic injury?
Yes, there are documented cases where neck guards are believed to have saved players from severe or fatal injuries:
* The case of Kim Crouch: His injury in 1975 directly led to the development and subsequent use of neck guards, preventing similar incidents for countless players.
* Recent youth hockey incident in Eastern Ontario: Following Adam Johnson’s death, a young player was reportedly saved by a neck guard after being cut by a skate.
While less publicized, it is plausible that neck guards have prevented numerous other less severe but still significant neck injuries over the years.
In conclusion, the history of neck guards in hockey began with a serious injury that prompted their invention. They have become a standard and often mandatory piece of equipment in minor hockey, particularly in Canada, and are now gaining increased attention and mandatory status in youth hockey in the United States. While not currently mandatory in the NHL, the effectiveness and potential life-saving benefits of neck guards are becoming increasingly recognized, leading to more players choosing to wear them and ongoing discussions about a potential league-wide mandate in the future.

Insuring local voter security…
The trust is gone and we should not continue thinking in terms of rationalizing our good will as being tangible barter in new trade relations. After an arbitrary and vicious attack we cannot say well we will taste good going down the US administration’s gulet; will that make it better for you Mr.wolf.
Good job Daniel…
US: Administration
PS: we are not dealing with the same personage from the first administration but personage has been added or subtracted, to our disadvantage…
Pragmatic strength must prevail for us and we must resist niceness as appeasement. Too many of our people have been blindsided.

Today the first advance polling begins in the Canadian election. The Federal government is seeking a 45th Parliament since confederation . The head of the executive Mark Carney is also seeking a seat,and a mandate to government for four years.
Canadian Parliament
The federal parliament in Canada is the supreme legislative body responsible for making and passing laws at the national level. It consists of two houses: the House of Commons, which is made up of Members of Parliament (MPs) elected by the public in general elections, and the Senate, which comprises Senators appointed by the Governor General on the advice of the Prime Minister. The Parliament meets in Ottawa and plays a crucial role in discussing national issues, formulating policies, and overseeing the government’s actions. Legislation must be approved by both houses before becoming law, ensuring a system of checks and balances within the federal governance structure. The Parliament also represents the interests of Canadians and provides a platform for debate on important matters affecting the country.
