poker games online In an Edmonton Oilers news and rumors update, Zach Hyman returns for the Edmonton Oilers, while Viktor Arvidsson remains out. Meanwhile, the 4 Nations teams were announced and while a few names made it, several Oilers didn’t make the final cut. Who did make the team? And, for those who didn’t, will it light a fire under them to start upping their production and contributing more to prove a point they were overlooked? Hyman Returns vs. Blue Jackets on Thursday Zach Hyman is confirmed to return to the Edmonton Oilers lineup after missing five games due to injury. TSN’s Ryan Rishaug posted on Thursday morning , “Hyman back and on top line with 97 and 93.” Hyman said he was excited to get back into the lineup and is confident in his ability to start putting goals on the board, which is something the Oilers desperately need. Hyman was asked if he’s hoping to still make Team Canada if there’s an injury. He responded that he hopes everyone stays healthy and that Canada does great. He doesn’t want to get on the team that way. Rishaug observed notable line combinations at practice, with Leon Draisaitl skating alongside Vasily Podkolzin and Kasperi Kapanen, while Jeff Skinner was paired with Mattias Janmark and Adam Henrique. Derek Ryan joined Corey Perry and Connor Brown. Each line features a mix of speed and skill, but the standout takeaway is players are positioned in roles that better align with their strengths and expected contributions. Calvin Pickard gets the start for the Oilers in goal. Question Marks Surrounding Viktor Arvidsson’s Injury The Daily Hive asked head coach Kris Knoblauch for a status update and the bench boss didn’t have one. “It’s obviously gone on longer than we anticipated,” Knoblauch said. “We thought it would be just a couple of days off, but it hasn’t healed as expected.” As of now, there is no timeline for his return. This is clearly not a good thing for the Oilers, who were expecting that Arvidsson might not miss any games at all. That he’s now missed several games, isn’t skating, and there is no indication about when he might return, there has to be growing concern that the Oilers signed a player who isn’t going to be nearly as productive as they might have hoped. Interestingly, Arvidsson was still selected for his 4 Nations team. McDavid Excited About the 4 Nations Tournament “Nowhere else I’d rather be than in Montreal and Boston on those two weeks,” said Connor McDavid when asked about his being named to Team Canada. His selection was not a surprise, but the fact that no other Oilers were picked to be on the team might have come as a bit of a shock. Evan Bouchard, Hyman, and Stuart Skinner were also believed to have a good shot of making the team before the season started. None of them were selected, and likely because they have all struggled to start the 2024-25 campaign. Skinner might have been among the more interesting omissions, if only because he wasn’t even listed on insider’s alternates team. Canada’s goaltending isn’t exactly elite, and the fact Skinner took the Oiler to Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final and has been one of the better Canadian netminders over the past couple of seasons, he still didn’t get much consideration among analysts. The hope for Oilers fans is that being snubbed will light a fire under all three players. Mattias Ekholm was selected for Team Sweden.

Joanna Gaines Enjoys Late-Night Baking with Daughter Ella

JonBenet Ramsey, who competed in beauty pageants, was found dead in the basement of her family's home in the college town of Boulder the day after Christmas in 1996. Her body was found several hours after her mother called 911 to say her daughter was missing and a ransom note was left behind. JonBenet was bludgeoned and strangled. Her death was ruled a homicide, but nobody was ever prosecuted. The details of the crime and video footage of JonBenet competing in pageants propelled the case into one of the highest-profile mysteries in the United States. The police comments came as part of their annual update on the investigation, a month before the 28th anniversary of JonBenet's killing. Police said they released it a little earlier due to the increased attention on the case, apparently referring to the three-part Netflix series "Cold Case: Who Killed JonBenet Ramsey." In a video statement, Boulder Police Chief Steve Redfearn said the department welcomes news coverage and documentaries about the killing of JonBenet, who would have been 34 this year, as a way to generate possible new leads. He said the department is committed to solving the case but needs to be careful about what it shares about the investigation to protect a possible future prosecution. "What I can tell you though, is we have thoroughly investigated multiple people as suspects throughout the years and we continue to be open-minded about what occurred as we investigate the tips that come in to detectives," he said. The Netflix documentary focuses on the mistakes made by police and the "media circus" surrounding the case. Listen now and subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Google Podcasts | Spotify | RSS Feed | SoundStack Police were widely criticized for mishandling the early investigation into her death amid speculation that her family was responsible. However, a prosecutor cleared her parents, John and Patsy Ramsey, and brother Burke in 2008 based on new DNA evidence from JonBenet's clothing that pointed to the involvement of an "unexplained third party" in her slaying. The announcement by former district attorney Mary Lacy came two years after Patsy Ramsey died of cancer. Lacy called the Ramseys "victims of this crime." John Ramsey continued to speak out for the case to be solved. In 2022, he supported an online petition asking Colorado's governor to intervene in the investigation by putting an outside agency in charge of DNA testing in the case. In the Netflix documentary, he said he advocated for several items that were not prepared for DNA testing to be tested and for other items to be retested. He said the results should be put through a genealogy database. In recent years, investigators identified suspects in unsolved cases by comparing DNA profiles from crime scenes and to DNA testing results shared online by people researching their family trees. In 2021, police said in their annual update that DNA hadn't been ruled out to help solve the case, and in 2022 noted that some evidence could be "consumed" if DNA testing is done on it. Last year, police said they convened a panel of outside experts to review the investigation to give recommendations and determine if updated technologies or forensic testing might produce new leads. In the latest update, Redfearn said that review ended but police continue to work through and evaluate a "lengthy list of recommendations" from the panel.Spam is endemic to everyone’s email inbox. Some of Australia’s biggest companies have been caught and fined, yet they keep doing it. Andy Schmulow reports. Mathew Comyn, CEO of Commbank, announced this week his bank will be charging a $3 fee for “assisted withdrawals”. Three dollars to take your own cash out of the bank. Cash, I would remind you, which is “currency of the realm”. This is the same guy who bemoaned “ excessive profits tax as “insidious populism” and labelled criticism of profitable businesses as “fact-free rhetoric” that is damaging trust in public institutions. ” Ok, fair point Matthew. I’ll be sure that my rhetoric is not “fact-free”: your bank was labelled as the “gold medallist for misconduct” by the Hayne Royal Commission, for it propensity to commit fraud, theft, and engage in dishonesty and wicked venality on an industrial scale. Like CBA’s insurance division, CommInsure, that routinely denied death and disability cover to the dying and dead. A financial advice service that routinely forged customer’s signatures and stole money out of their accounts. Most of that criminality took place in the retail division, during the years when Comyn was the CEO. And let’s not forget the 53,000 breaches of money-laundering laws, the purported “software error”, the slap on the wrist and the insider who said “no one gave a rat’s arse”. But instead of approaching his tenure as CEO with some measure of humility, in light of the bank’s past failings, Commbank has now hit on another route to gouge customers: charging them to withdraw cash. And make no mistake, this latest rort will hit the poorest and most vulnerable customers hardest: the elderly, First Australians, Australians who live in rural and remote areas, those who are digitally excluded, and those with low levels of financial literacy. One of the big spam offenders is Commbank, back in the headlines for another ill-conceived customer “service” initiative. The bank has just been fined $7.5m for being spammer rats. Fined for spewing out 170 million emails that breached the law. Treasurer Jim Chalmers was not amused and apparently ‘leaned on’ the bank to rethink its plans, according to the AFR ($) . Are the executives of the bank, the Chief Technology Officer, not paid enough to ensure that, at the very least, they have a working unsubscribe function on emails? That they don’t send spam to people who have already unsubscribed? It’s not rocket surgery, it’s the law! This fine comes after the bank paid $3.55m 18 months ago for the exact same breaches! But wait, there’s more: guess how many “assisted withdrawals” Commbank could cover for the $11,050,000 in fines they’ve paid for being spammer rats? Three million, six hundred and eighty-three thousand!! So, here’s some free business coaching for the Martin Place crew: you can make more profit by not breaking the law than you can by breaking the law and gouging your most vulnerable customers. And it’s not just CommBank engaging in practices unbecoming a good corporate citizen. Woolworths is at it again. Not content to be running one half of a duopoly, sucking down a return on equity that is fourteen times higher than the average for supermarkets in the United States and more than twenty times higher than the average in Europe, being integral to the cost-of-living crisis sweeping Australia. Their outgoing CEO, Brad Banducci, has presided over a company that’s been exposed as a serial bully when dealing with suppliers and exposed for repeatedly jacking up prices, then marginally lowering them to claim they’re being discounted. As a result, the ACCC is now suing Woolworths for misleading and deceptive conduct. They, too, are serial law-breakers. In 2020, they were fined $ 1m for being spammer rats – the biggest fine for spam up to that date in Australia. A few weeks ago, I received spam from Woolworths Everyday Rewards – despite unsubscribing multiple times. I called them to complain, and they confirmed that they had on record that I had unsubscribed. They promised to have someone call back to address my complaint. That was three weeks ago, and I’ve heard not a word. So, I posted the story on LinkedIn and tagged the CEO (Amanda Bardwell – Banducci’s successor) and the Everyday Rewards MD, Hannah Ross. Now, you might be saying that if Ms Bardwell and Ms Ross were doing their job, they would both be concerned about avoiding more multi-million-dollar fines. And no doubt would have reached out to me immediately to understand what went wrong, why I wasn’t contacted, and explain what steps they would take to ensure this never happened again. Alas, no! Bardwell has ignored the posts, and Ross, despite her division having already paid a million dollars of shareholders’ funds in unnecessary fines, responded by giving me the flick and blocked me on LinkedIn. No wonder they don’t obey the law. Does their arrogance run that deep? I have now complained to the Australian Communications and Media Authority ( ACMA ), hoping they will take account of the fact that Woolworths is a serial lawbreaker, and double or triple the fine. The last time I wrote about the dirty data rats who routinely breach the Spam Act 2003, I wrote about WebCentral – an uncontrollable serial spammer. Since then, the good news is that the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner ( OAIC ) has initiated an investigation into WebCentral – although this is slow-going. WebCentral keeps responding with bald-faced lies about how often they breached the Spam Act, which is obviously an intentional effort to frustrate and prevaricate. In not such good news, I am still waiting for the OAIC to initiate an investigation against one of the worst data rats of all: Aussie Home Loans (a division of Lendi ). They sent me spam text messages and emails in late 2023. I had never been a customer of either company. I merely made one enquiry on one occasion, once, eleven – yes, ELEVEN – years ago. National Privacy Principle 11.2 states that customer data must not be retained for an unreasonable length of time. How long is reasonable? Maybe it’s six months? Maybe it’s a year? Heck, maybe it’s 18 months? But no one could argue that 11 years is a reasonable amount of time. I tagged David Hyman, CEO of Lendi, in my LinkedIn posts. Not a word from him. But a stream of drivel from Aussie trying to explain how they were still in possession of my data after 11 years. And this is where we get to the core of the issue: my data and your data. It is our data. It belongs to us. It is our property. It does not belong to Woolworths or ConBank or WebCentral or Aussie Home Loans. These companies need to be taught the hard way that they must respect our data and privacy and uphold the law. Unfortunately, however, that doesn’t work fining the company. Fining the company is a cost to shareholders, not a cost to Matty Comyn (CBA) or Amanda Bardwell (Woolworths) or Joe Demase (WebCentral) or David Hyman (Aussie HomeLoans). Unless and until we visit consequences on CEOs for repeated breaches of data and marketing laws, nothing will change.

State and local leaders break ground on Carter County Higher Education CenterFormer UTM Party Secretary General Patricia Kaliati has sparked controversy by blaming the late Saulos Chilima for her loss in the UTM party presidential elections. Kaliati, who was competing for the top spot, garnered a mere 20 votes, while her opponent, Dalitso Kabambe, secured an overwhelming 600 votes. In a voice clip circulating on social media, Kaliati is heard blaming Chilima’s spirit for her defeat. “How could Saulos allow me to lose the elections?” she lamented. Many have expressed surprise at Kaliati’s remarks, finding it unusual for the living to blame the dead. Kaliati’s comments have raised eyebrows, especially considering her previous stance as UTM Party Secretary General. In the past, she has spoken optimistically about the party’s prospects, even predicting that UTM would rake in more votes during the 2025 elections.
