The second round of the 1975-76 playoffs featured a series between the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Philadelphia Flyers. But it was really about Pyramid Power versus Kate Smith. The Flyers were the defending Stanley Cup champions and had legendary singer Kate Smith warbling "God Save America" as a good-luck charm. Leafs coach Red Kelly was looking for something to focus his troops, who were in tough against the Broad Street Bullies. Irascible Leafs owner Harold Ballard had even predicted his team would in five games. The Leafs were facing elimination going into the series’ Game 6 in Toronto, so Kelly tried something radically different. He had a 20-foot pyramid placed in the Leafs dressing room – pointed north to draw magnetic energy – and several smaller ones under the Leafs’ bench, hoping his team would draw energy from the objects. Kelly had reason to believe. His daughter had been suffering from severe migraines, and after being told about the pyramids’ healing power, gave her some small pyramids to place under her pillow and she soon felt better. "I thought that was kind of neat that Red would take that time and that thought to do something like that for us," winger Dave (Tiger) Williams recalls. "What was really good about it was the Toronto media just talked about it and never talked about us, so we had some breathing room there finally for a change."

He was also a proponent of learning, and he gathered a great number of sages and savants to his court. That's why he was also known as Khan Ed.

You don't need a desert for this, btw. We are exporting power to the grid from rooftop solar in Massachusetts in November.
Rooftop solar supplied 730% of our residential needs in Massachusetts thus far in November

Even if they haven't figured out their second act, kinda figure they've earned the right to stick around for their proven rapid pandemic response

The neurobiology labs are there--presumably one of them was the target. Security sent out a mass email with stills of the suspects.

Exhibit A
US life expectancy over time plotted against health expenditure per capita. Starting in the Reagan era, money spent on health care rose markedly compared to other developed countries, while life expectancy gains lagged far behind other wealthy OECD nations
