    Leaders lead by example, they do their part, don't point fingers at others and take responsibility for their own actions.  How do you propose Canada force other countries to decrease their emissions if we can't even get a vast segment of our own population to give up wasteful and inefficient practices, such as heating 4000 sq. ft. houses for 3-4 people which is common, or driving a F-350's to work on a daily basis, which is also fairly common. 
    If we had a lick of intelligence, conspicuous consumption would be an embarrassment, not a goal most people in our society endlessly pursue, egged on by Mega-Corp and the idiot box.  Funny, new ads for electric pickups are starting to appear, and what do they promote?  People ripping the living **** out of the natural environment.  **** off Bambi, time to die!

    There were festivities and all that stuff. There was much celebration and jubilation.

    In zone you usually leave the backside end unblocked by the OL so it’s generally 5 on 3 or even 5 on 2 at the line.  That’s where that split block going counter the line or a receiver cracking on the end on the backside comes in if it’s not a read play. It’s doubles across the line driving with the flow of the play to catch other defenders downfield.
    It’s why DC’s like Hall love the bear front so much because it forces big on big blocks vs the run but pulls linebackers up into the line which is risky vs the pass and also forces your SAM and DBs to make tackles.
    In what I’m scheming up for my guys we love seeing the bear front because if everyone play side even just turns their block off the gap off guard or off tackle we probably have 8 yards for our back before he gets touched.  Much harder to block through that flow to the ball if the backers are off the line.

    Tyrie Adams will miss the rest of the 2023 season due to an ACL injury sustained in Week 4.
     
    I guess it is good that Masoli is back but tough luck for Adams and the RedBlacks.

    Monday, July 3rd, 2023, was the hottest day ever recorded on Earth, The Guardian reported on Tuesday.
    "The average global temperature reached 17.01C (62.62F), surpassing the August 2016 record of 16.92C (62.46F), as heatwaves sizzled around the world," explained the British outlet, which compiled data from the United States National Centers for Environmental Prediction.  The unprecedented warmth even affected the planet's polar regions.
    Retired professor Eliot Jacobson posted a ClimateReanalyzer.org graphic on Twitter showing "that temperatures above freezing" were "reaching all the way to the coast of Antarctica near the Thwaites glacier."
    Experts reiterated that the relentless burning of fossil fuels is fueling the disruptions to Earth's climate and that humanity's failure to cease emitting greenhouse gases will lead to a cascading series of crises.
    "People around the world are already enduring climate impacts, from heatwaves, wildfires, and air pollution to floods and extreme storms. Global warming is also exacerbating crop losses and the spread of infectious diseases, as well as migration," Global Climate and Health Alliance Executive Director Jeni Miller said, as quoted by The Guardian. "The extraction and use of coal, oil, and gas harm people's health, are the primary driver of warming and are incompatible with a healthy climate future. That's all the more reason that governments must prepare to deliver a commitment at Cop28 to phase out all fossil fuels, and a just transition to renewable energy for all."
    Climate scientist Friederike Otto of the Grantham Institute for Climate Change and the Environment at Britain's Imperial College London warned that an overheated Earth is "a death sentence for people and ecosystems."

    My experience has been mixed. I only worked from home a couple of times pre-pandemic, even though my position allows for that flexibility. 
    I was home 100% until May last year and now work a blended schedule. 
    I split my workload between things that are best done in the office and those that are better done at home. I appreciate the social interaction when I'm in the office and find I'm much more active. But, home allows me to work uninterrupted and saves me money. 
    With everything, it depends upon the type of work and how it's organized.
