GDB 21.0 Wrap Up: Oilers score four in the third period, complete 4-3 comeback over Rangers
What a comeback wow. Final Score: 4-3 OilersI know I talked about how important today’s game was in the GDB, but I think it’s worth repeating that the Oilers are running out of time and they need to start stringing some wins together. At the very least, the Oilers needed to show themselves that they’re better than they’ve performed over the last couple of weeks. Of course, it’s easy for me to say such things from my seat at the bar with a delicious caesar in my hand. So if something looks weird with the formatting or my spelling is even worse than normal, I will apologize in advance but hope that you understand.

SBP’s rate hike
Instead, the rate was hiked, making it likely that the State Bank was merely reacting to the global inflationary wave, and the hike was merely precautionary, to insulate the economy from the effects of global inflation. With the election year about to start, it is to be expected the government will do its fair share of. - Advertisement -One of the more interesting dimensions that needs exploring is how far the raising of interest rates does control inflation. The classical theory, that raising interest rates leads to lowering of inflation needs to be revisited. The assumption that Pakistan is suffering from cost-push inflation does not seem justified, as the factor of the floods does not seem to have been included in this approach.

Transformation through women’s education
The independence movement also focused on women’s modern education. On the other hand, Islam has also clearly stated regarding women’s education. The women’s corner was set aside not only for education but also for women in important fields of medicine, engineering, and science. Quaid-i-Azam emphasised women’s education in every one of his speeches during and after the creation of Pakistan and also said that Pakistani women should take part in national development alongside men. Henceforth, it is a matter of high time for our society to understand that; women’s education is a very vital channel through which to create a universal and cohesive social order.

TTP forces lawmaker to pay ransom totalling Rs1.2m
A lawmaker in Pakistan's rugged northwest was sipping tea with voters when his phone chirped to life -- Tehreek–e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) were calling with a demand for "donations". After the Taliban takeover in neighbouring Afghanistan, TTP racketeering has infested Pakistan's borderlands, locals say, with the group emboldened by its sister movement's success. Since July, the provincial lawmaker -- who asked to remain anonymous -- has been cowed into sending the TTP sums totalling 1.2 million rupees (over $5,000). But the first telltale sign of a TTP blackmail attempt is the phone number -- starting with the +93 international code indicating an Afghan SIM card. Pakistan's military claimed reports of strong TTP in the area were "grossly exaggerated and misleading".

Matchups and Memories: Series history between FSU and Gators
I pointed out that Miami made seven games and I asked why Florida State could not fill one of the three remaining dates. Renovations to Doak Campbell Stadium were made (partially motivated by keeping the series as a home-and-home), and in 1964, Florida State hosted Florida in Tallahassee for the first time. Three years later, Florida State won for the first time in Gainesville. The series amped up to its highest level of intensity in 1990, which saw the first of 11 straight top-ten matchups between the schools. The remaining friends decided to stay, because leaving a FSU game early is not an option.
