Dylan Holloway Is NHL Ready
Dylan Holloway Is NHL ReadyDylan Holloway will play all season with the Edmonton Oilers. Holloway showed he has the skill, speed, smarts, and hockey sense to play in the NHL. Like Lundell, Jarvis was on a first-place team in their division, but unlike Lundell, Jarvis played more of his minutes in the top six. I don’t see Holloway getting as much PP time as Mercer did (152 minutes), but Holloway will get some time on the second unit. Advertisement Ad Advertisement AdHe’s ready for the NHL and more than capable of reaching those realistic offensive projections.

PTI MNAs approach IHC over acceptance of resignations
Share:In the latest political move, PTI approached on Wednesday the Islamabad High Court (IHC) through a petition filed for the approval of the resignations tendered by the party law makers following Imran Khan's ouster as prime minister. All the PTI MNAs resigned en masse on April 11, two days after PTI Chairman Imran Khan was ousted as the prime minister through a no-confidence motion moved by the then-opposition. Later, the resignations of PTI members were de-sealed and Raja accepted 11 of them. IHC Chief Justice Athar Minallah heard the case filed by the PTI challenging the acceptance of resignations of 11 MNAs and not accepting a "piece-meal" resignation of all 123 lawmakers. The IHC CJ declared former NA deputy speaker Qasim Suri's resignation acceptance order void and ordered every MNA to appear before NA speaker in person to get their resignation accepted.

A male dominated society
Share:Indeed ours is a patriarchal society in which, like in all other walks of life, courts and court complexes remain male dominated. Our Constitution (Article 25) stipulates that, ‘All citizens are equal before law.’ As a result of this, women’s access to judicial bodies is increasing day by day. Many female judges serve on diverse courts in the country, they are working in Federal Shariah Courts, High Courts, District and Sessions Courts, Banking Courts, Accountability Courts, etc. In spite of these achievements, women face considerable problems within the judicial and legal system. The Family Court Judges play a vital role in balancing these families and they need to be very vigilant and careful in taking decisions that affect the whole future of the children of these estranged couples.

Closure of corruption cases a ‘joke’, says Imran
Former prime minister and PTI Chairman Imran Khan has said that incumbent rulers are making a mockery of the justice system by closing down their corruption cases. Addressing party officials in Peshawar on Tuesday, the deposed premier said that the government has appointed its “henchman” to the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) so that they get decisions of their choice in the corruption cases, calling it a “joke”. “They [coalition government] came to power on the pretext of inflation but now they have created a storm of inflation. They are making false cases against me to clear their way,” he remarked. “Efforts are being made to close down corruption cases of Nawaz Sharif,” he said while appealing the top court to take notice of the matter.

GDB -6.0 Wrap Up: Dylan Holloway’s hat trick leads Oilers to 7-2 win over the Canucks
Oilers win, and more importantly, there are only two pre-season games left. Including tonight’s game against the Canucks, there were only three more pre-season games left on the schedule and if that’s not a small miracle worth celebrating then I don’t know what is. My point here is that I actually find that there’s more to watch during these pre-season games the longer we go on. Barrie finished the night with two**** points in what was his best pre-season game so far. Jake Virtanen finished his fourth pre-season game with an assist, one hit, one block, and two PIMs.

PML-N Vice President Maryam Nawaz has claimed that former prime minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan was seeking an NRO (deal) by holding secret meetings at the President House in Islamabad. She was referring to reports that the former premier held a meeting with an ‘important personality’ at Aiwan-e-Sadr in the federal capital recently. He had directed them to ensure full participation of the people and advised them to consider “real freedom” as “jihad”. He added that if they do not get “real freedom” now, they might never get it at all. Responding to a question about PTI’s narrative of real freedom, Maryam in today’s presser said Imran’s entire narrative is based on lies.
