More pressure and stronger battles in front of the net ignited the 26th-ranked PK, but Talbot also factored into the resurgence. On the power play, Brodin converted on a point shot at 6:02 while Marcus Foligno set a screen in front of Flames goalie Jacob Markstrom, who totaled 22 saves. Out trotted four Wild forwards, with Fiala feeding Kaprizov after a Joel Eriksson Ek faceoff win — this after an awful 0-for-6 showing by the power play on Tuesday in a 5-3 letdown to the Coyotes.

There are parallel strains in South Asia in the two neighbouring states of India and Pakistan where the respective bourgeoisie are at the back of a political change. India now imagines its role in the world from a Hindu lens and has turned into a dominantly mythologically driven state and society. Indian society has thus only regressed and defaced its liberal, inclusive and secular nature. Hyper-nationalism around religion is the common mantra for both the Indian state and the society threatening and destabilising the region and the neighbourhood. In Pakistan, religion as a plank came later.

We also find that the proportion of people in the labour force, normalised by the country’s population, has increased slightly from 32.1 percent to 32.3 percent. Refining this and normalising the labour force by the working age population of Pakistan (age ten years and above), we find that the labour force participation rate has stagnated between 2018-19 to 2020-21. The unemployment rate, which measures the proportion of unemployed people in the total labour force, is down to 6.3 percent. This report paints a rosy picture of the labour force in Pakistan.

A suddenly-fragile Fiorentina get the worst possible test they could face right now: capolista AC Milan at the San Siro. That means Milan, who are perhaps the best pressing team in the league, will throw numbers forward to win the ball. Milan, on the other hand, have been superb in the league and are on the verge of securing the scudetto. I think it’ll be tight and I think that this is the exact kind of game that Fiorentina tends to spring an ambush in. Milan won’t sit off them but will instead leave some spaces to attack, which should suit Nico and Arthur.
