Mother shares story of daughter's murder to save others from traumaQuinn Hughes is on pace to go where only Paul Reinhart has gone before with the Vancouver Canucks . Reinhart is the lone defenceman to lead the Canucks in scoring in a season, thanks to his 57 points, including 17 goals, in 1989-90. This current version of the Canucks plays their 35th game of the campaign Saturday afternoon against the Seattle Kraken, and Hughes leads the team in points with 42, including eight goals. Centre Elias Pettersson (10-18-28) and wingers Conor Garland (8-19-27) and Jake DeBrusk (15-10-25) are next in line in the points column for the Rogers Arena crew. Hughes didn’t practice with the club on Friday due to an undisclosed injury. Pettersson was also missing. Coach Rick Tocchet is listing both as doubtful to face Seattle , although they are slated to be re-evaluated by team medical personnel. A defenceman topping an NHL team in scoring in a season is rare, but not unheard of. Roman Josi had led the Nashville Predators in points for four straight years before finishing second to winger Filip Forsberg last season. Keith Yandle and then Oliver Ekman-Larsson went back-to-back consecutively atop the Arizona Coyotes’ scoring chart from 2012-16. Ray Bourque, who is the all-time leader in scoring amongst defencemen in NHL history and sat No. 12 overall heading into the action around the circuit on Friday, led the Boston Bruins in scoring five times during his 21-year run with the club. Fellow Bruins great Bobby Orr led the entire league in scoring twice during his career, marking the only time a blueliner won the Art Ross Trophy as the league’s top scorer. Hughes, 25, is on pace currently for 19 goals and 101 points this season. A defenceman has tallied 100 points or more in a season just 15 times in NHL history . Orr did it six times, and Paul Coffey accomplished it five. The last rearguard to get to the 100-point mark was Erik Karlsson (25-76-101) in 2022-23 with San Jose Sharks. Hughes played the full 82-game schedule last season for Vancouver and put up 17 goals and 92 points, which left him second in team scoring behind centre J.T. Miller (37-66-103). It was the third-straight season that Hughes had established a Canuck record for points in a season by a defenceman , following up his efforts in 2021-22 (8-60-68) and in 2022-23 (7-69-76). Prior to Hughes’ arrival, the Canucks’ record for points in a season by a defenceman belonged to Doug Lidster’s 1986-87 campaign (12-51-63). Reinhart’s 1989-90 is seventh best on that Vancouver list. Adrian Aucoin set the Vancouver single-season goals standard for defenceman (23) in 1998-99 . Hughes’ career-best output last season slid him into a five-way tie for fourth spot overall in the team record book, including Reinhart’s aforementioned season. Vancouver finished last in the Smythe Division that campaign, at 25-41-14. Centre Trevor Linden, who was 19 and in his second year with the team, was second in Canucks scoring (21-30-51). That wound up being Reinhart’s final campaign in the NHL. He retired the following September at the age of 30, due to back issues. Hughes had been a game-time decision for Monday’s win over the San Jose Sharks. He did wind up playing. Saturday is slated to be the 400th game of Hughes’ career. He is second in all-time scoring (51-324-375) amongst Vancouver’s rearguards, trailing only Alexander Edler (99-310-409). Edler played 925 games in Vancouver colours. Hughes was Vancouver’s first pick, No. 7 overall, in the 2018 NHL Draft . He was second in scoring amongst that draft class as of Friday morning, trailing only Ottawa Senators winger Brady Tkachuk (174-204-382), who went No. 4 overall. Hughes was second in the league in defencemen scoring to start Friday, trailing Colorado Avalanche defenceman Cale Makar (11-34-45). Columbus Blue Jackets defenceman Zach Werenski (11-24-35) was third. Werenski was leading the NHL in ice time (26:30 minutes per game) for defencemen. Hughes (25:08) was sixth. He finished 11th last season (24:41). Vancouver did announce on Dec. 3 that Filip Hronek , who is Vancouver’s No. 2 defenceman, would be out eight weeks “after having a lower-body procedure.” Hughes has played 26 minutes or more in five of Vancouver’s last eight games, including 29:50 in the 4-3 overtime loss to the St. Louis Blues on Dec. 10. sewen@postmedia.comA Place In The Sun made me want to move abroad – but when I got there it made me want to cryjili777 free 100 no deposit bonus 。

Frustrated by ever-changing algorithms and limited visibility, the creator landscape will be fueled by the 3 D’s: data, direct messaging and durable partnerships. This is according to new predictions from industry insiders. In relation, with stricter data privacy regulations and the reduction of third-party cookies, affiliates are increasingly turning to first-party data. Tom Zsomborgi, CBO at Kinsta , a managed WordPress hosting platform, and Erin Gagnon, general manager of affiliate marketing platform BrandCycle , have provided Digital Journa l with the following predictions on how creators and brands will navigate the next 12 months. Creators Turn to Telegram According to Gagnon: “We’re seeing a shift not just with mass media publishers, but also among influencers who are increasingly turning to direct messaging platforms like WhatsApp. Frustrated by algorithms that can delay or limit the visibility of their content, creators are seeking dedicated channels where their followers can reliably see everything they share.” Telegram has social networking features, allowing users to post stories, create large public groups with up to 200,000 members. He adds: “This trend is especially effective for influencers using affiliate models, as it allows them to perfectly time their messages and pair them with strong calls to action—whether promoting a flash sale, product launch, or special offer.” Affiliate Partnerships Will Prioritize Stable Rates Over Commissions Zsomborgi opens by looking at influencers: “Affiliate partnerships are evolving beyond commissions alone. High-value influencers now prefer a stable rate, regardless of sales numbers, emphasizing quality over quick conversions. This reflects a new standard in affiliate marketing where content creators focus on reputation and long-term brand alignment.” Creators Will Turn to Data for Competitive Advantage Affiliates are using AI-driven tools to streamline tasks like content creation, audience targeting, and data analysis. With the exploutation of data, Gagnon steps in: “ Next year, we’ll see affiliate creators gain a competitive edge through access to detailed sales data, empowering them to better understand and serve their audiences. While campaigns and collaborations that align with creators’ personal brands will remain popular in 2025, those relying solely on brand partnerships or sponsored posts may lack access to the valuable and timely insights affiliate creators can tap into.” As to the advantages, he adds: “This data-driven approach positions affiliate creators for greater success in refining strategies and optimizing earnings next year.” Brand Awareness > Direct Sales What can benefit business-to-business? Zsomborgi opines: “With the rise of ad blockers and reduced data visibility, brand awareness is becoming essential for success in affiliate marketing across both B2C and B2B. While B2C brands can still leverage influencers to drive direct sales for impulse buyers, B2B will need to focus on brand building and long-term engagement. The shift away from direct sales tactics means that creating an unforgettable brand presence is now crucial to keep customers coming back.” Dr. Tim Sandle is Digital Journal's Editor-at-Large for science news.Tim specializes in science, technology, environmental, business, and health journalism.

Colimerio has 15, Queens defeats VMI 81-78ATLANTA — The U.S. government’s premier research body has made an important discovery that could help create new drugs to lower “bad” cholesterol, and hopefully prevent heart attacks and stroke. But the interesting part of that story isn’t just the discovery itself, but the technology responsible for it: a relatively new type of microscope that essentially froze LDL cholesterol molecules, allowing researchers for the first time to get a detailed view of the structure of LDL and find new ways to approach stopping LDL buildup into body.
