With the sun shinning and temperatures on the rise, there’s nothing better than a lunch out at your local pub or enjoying a couple of drinks in a beer garden whilst you soak up those rays.

ABSTRACTThe long-term North Atlantic Cold Anomaly (Cold Blob, CB) was largely defined by three major episodes of low sea surface temperature (SST) in the subpolar North Atlantic in 1972–1974, 1984–1985 and 1991–1994. Without these cold periods, there would have been no CB. Each of these episodes correlated with unusually low SST at the Flemish Cap (a subsurface island of the Canadian continental shelf) and with periods of high sea ice cover over the deep basin of the Labrador Sea a year earlier.

Instrumented mouthguards show promise as an accurate method for on-field HAE measurement. HAEs occurred in on-field regions where contact event occurrence was the highest. Substitutes had a higher HAE incidence than starters over certain PLA recording thresholds for men. No significant differences in match quarter HAE incidence or propensity were found.
