Fertile period

It’s been a long, long 13 months. So long, we’ve often had to search for things to do — with extremely limited options. Judging by Alexander Johnson’s tweets earlier this week, the Grading the Week staff has an idea how the Broncos middle linebacker filled his time: consuming coronavirus conspiracy videos. “Plan pandemic” — F For those who missed it, everyone’s favorite dinosaur dancing linebacker channeled the Early Cretaceous Period yet again Tuesday afternoon when he fired off a couple of tweets in response to Broncos players announcing they would not attend voluntary organized team activities due to the pandemic. His first tweet: “Hell nah!! I’m not with the COVID-19 excuses… Plan Pandemic!!” Then, upon realizing it might be construed that he’s not standing with his teammates, Johnson posted another tweet : “I’m definitely rocking with my team and support my teammates about not being in person based off all the other factors that help the individual players, … [Read more...] about Grading the Week: Broncos linebacker Alexander Johnson channels Early Cretaceous Period once again

Next O ur earth is constantly changing. Let's take a look how our world has changed. Photographs: Courtesy NASA Next Prev Next F ed by glaciers in the Himalayas and Karakoram mountains -- and by monsoon rains -- the Indus river experiences substantial fluctuations every year. Because the river irrigates 18 million hectares of farmland, the landscape changes along with the river. Although river levels rise in June, the Indus generally remains confined to its channels. Rainfall intensifies in July, and Pakistan actually receives about 70 per cent of its annual rainfall between July and September. In July and August, some water may overflow into holding structures and depressions along the Indus, while large quantities are distributed to farmers who flood their fields, particularly for rice. Water flow along the river begins to decline around early September, but the surrounding fields turn lush … [Read more...] about MUST SEE PHOTOS: How our planet changed

Watching Prince Philip’s coffin being lowered down into the floor of St George’s chapel was extremely moving. It created a very poignant moment, which I know would have been extremely difficult for the Queen. That moment gives us all finality on death, whoever we are, and it was her final chance to say goodbye to her beloved husband. The Queen has lost her companion, the man she described as her strength and stay, and who she could always talk to and seek advice from. How emotional was the day? Have your say in comments below She will feel a tremendous loss, which was all the more visible yesterday due to Covid-19 rules forcing her to sit on her own. However, she will also take great comfort in the service, which was powerful in its simplicity. It went exactly as Prince Philip would have wanted, just as he planned it, and it was a great tribute to him and his life. Watching the service, my mind was drawn back to times I spent with him and the Queen together. … [Read more...] about ‘They were a lovely couple always in love – but one thing will see Queen through’

Three Stars 1. Tyler Toffoli , Montreal Canadiens. This signing has worked out better than Montreal could have ever hoped. With his two goals on Friday night — the only two goals in 2-1 Montreal win over the Calgary Flames — Toffoli topped the 20-goal mark, giving him 21 for the season in only 38 games. Going back to the 2019-20 season Toffoli has now scored 29 goals in 44 games since being traded away from the Los Angeles Kings. This has been one of the best free agent signings of the year. Montreal’s win gives it a six-point lead over the Flames for the fourth playoff spot in the North Division while still having three games in hand. Montreal has to be happy with its playoff chances at this point. 2. Jeremy Swayman , Boston Bruins. With Jaroslav Halak still sidelined, Swayman has stepped into the lineup and been absolutely sensational for the Bruins. He stopped all 25 shots he faced in a 3-0 win over the New York Islanders on Friday to record his first career shutout. … [Read more...] about The Buzzer: Swayman stays hot for Bruins; Toffoli leads Canadiens
