Family of Shawnee Inyallie looking for answers
Laurie HamelinAPTN NewsIt’s been over a month since the body of 29 year old Shawnee Inyallie was discovered in Delta, B.C. near the Fraser River.But her family is still searching for answers.Patrick Pete never gave up hope while looking for his missing sister.For almost four months, Pete and his family organized searches and handed out posters.“The searches, they helped keep hope alive,” he said. “If we didn’t find her then we had hope that we would be able to find her somewhere alive and well.”Inyallie was homeless, but regularly returned to her hometown in Chawathil First Nation in Hope, B.C., to visit family.She was last seen on July 17 in a homeless camp in Delta, B.C.Hunters discovered her body in a marsh by the Fraser River on Nov. 4.“Not knowing where she was, what she was doing, how she was, and now that we know, it all hurts,” he said. “One of the hardest things was at work I had to pull down the posters and it just brought a big realization that all of the searches didn’t bring up anything.“Now there isn’t anything.”In late November Pete received a worrisome phone call from the RCMP detachment in Hope.At the time he had been trying to contact the investigating officer without any luck.“Everything came together real weird because we had been trying to get in contact with the RCMP for almost a month,” he said. “And then out of nowhere they were in for an urgent meeting and I kind of had a feeling.“We had to push them extra hard for them to give anything back to us and I don’t really think it should have been like that.”Pete said he’s frustrated.“When I’d go to the homeless camps or if I was putting up posters, the people that weren’t homeless they were always in a hurry, they didn’t stop to help, they wouldn’t look at the posters. It was the homeless people that showed the most compassion.“Everybody has to realize that it doesn’t matter if someone is homeless, if they are a drug addict, an alcoholic, they are somebody’s people. She was our sister, she was missing.”Although the search for Shawnee is over, her family is now searching for answers.“They said there was no foul play, but we are waiting on the toxicology report. It’s hard to get passed thinking that she could have done this to herself, or it was an accident.”It leaves me confused as to what happened to her.”Results of the toxicology report are expected to take three to six months.lhamelin@aptn.ca@lauriehamelin
Trial mining is expected to start next year on a potential prolific diamond corridor in Australia’s most famous gem producing region – Western Australia’s Kimberleys. This follows a historic Mining Agreement between Perth-based POZ Minerals and the Bunuba Dawangarri Aboriginal Corp.The agreement covers the southern portion of POZ Minerals’ wholly-owned Blina alluvial diamond project area in the Ellendale Diamond Province in the West Kimberleys. The Bunuba are the traditional owners for this area.This agreement has allowed the Native Title Tribunal to grant Mining leases M04/466 and M04/467, the two key licenses at the heart of the Blina diamond project.Blina’s 40-km long diamond bearing palaeo-channel, named Terrace 5, with channel widths of 200-500 m, drains the central section of the mined Ellendale field. The Terrace 5 alluvial diamonds appear to be mostly derived from the E9 lamproite pipe, also host to the now closed Ellendale diamond mine – once responsible for half of the world’s production of rare fancy yellow diamonds.POZ Minerals’ Executive Chairman, Jim Richards, in paying tribute to the approach by the Bunuba people in facilitating new mining opportunities, said the agreement paved the way for diamond bulk sampling and trial alluvial mining operations at Blina over 2018.A fauna and flora survey has commenced to facilitate the grant of mining permitting.This agreement has facilitated the Native Title Tribunal permitting the grant of Mining leases M04/466 and M04/467, two of four mining lease applications and two exploration leases within a 161 km² project area 100 km east of Derby.Richards said diamonds previously recovered from Terrace 5 gravels are considered large, with an average stone size of around 0.4 ct. Most stones are of gem quality and a significant amount are fancy yellows.The largest diamond recovered to date from Terrace 5 weighed 8.44 ct (from pit BLBS082), with stones larger than 2 ct common.“The key to exploring the Terrace 5 diamondiferous channel is to find the best alluvial trap sites which are most likely to host the highest diamond grades,” Richards said.“These trap sites usually occur around the sediment/bedrock interface. POZ Minerals has completed a ground geophysics survey using the latest in-ground penetrating radar (GPR) technology, and is assessing this data in order to generate targets for the bulk sampling program.”The terms of the Mining Agreement with the Bunuba people include new employment and training opportunities for them, including at least a quarter of any onsite workforce consisting of local indigenous employees, earthmoving contracts, plus share options in POZ Minerals and profit share arrangements.“We believe the Mining Agreement with the Bunuba people will have a long lasting and significant benefit for both parties,” Richards said.“It delivers POZ certainty over tenure and future development options, including full scale mining, whilst the Bunuba group ensures that its heritage is protected and that employment, training and financial benefits will flow to the group.”The Ellendale lamproite field which hosts the Blina project area is one of the largest lamproite fields globally and many of its pipes have proven to be diamondiferous, including the Ellendale 4 (E4) and Ellendale 9 (E9) pipes which have been commercially mined.The E9 mine (currently not producing) immediately adjacent to Blina was reported in 2014 to be the world’s leading source of rare fancy yellow diamonds and to have contributed an estimated 50% of the global supply of these yellows.

Clark County Fire District 6 is prepared to offer a class on emergency preparedness following the devastating earthquake that struck Japan Thursday, but needs at least 15 participants to commit before moving forward. Topics in the course include disaster medicine, light search and rescue, psychological first aid, fire safety, disaster fire suppression, utility shutoff and patient triage. “Nobody is safe from the effects of a devastating earthquake or natural disaster. This should serve as a reminder of the importance of being prepared.” Dawn Johnson, a District 6 spokeswoman, said in a news release announcing the class.The release warns that first responders will not be able to meet all of the demands for emergency care brought on by a large-scale disaster. Community Emergency Response Team training is meant to teach individuals how to sustain themselves, their families and neighbors until fire and medical services can arrive. The course costs $30, which includes a hard hat, vest, utility shutoff tool and gloves. Classes will be held at fire station 1, 8800 Northeast Hazel Dell Avenue.
70% of Macau gaming market driven by 400,000 premium players: brokerage Singapore Betting Taxes fall 0.9% to SG$2.7 billion in FY2018/19 Strong VIP growth sees Okada Manila GGR climb 72% in August Global ratings agency Fitch has predicted mid-single digit growth for the Asian gaming industry in 2019, buoyed by new and recent property openings in Macau and stability provided by the mass market sector.Providing its outlook for the region through the next 12 months in a note this week, Fitch said its forecast reflects a “long-term positive outlook as we believe greater China, with a growing middle class, is underpenetrated.” RelatedPosts Load More Contributors to GGR growth will include the opening of SJM’s Grand Lisboa Palace, the ramp-up of MGM Cotai and Morpheus tower at City of Dreams which both opened in 2018 and new infrastructure projects such as the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge, it added.However, Fitch expects the VIP sector to continue its recent slowdown into 2019 with mass market to continue its trend “as the primary growth driver over the past few months.”“We expect this trend to continue into 2019 as VIP is more sensitive to the economic and credit conditions on mainland China. We expect Chinese-related VIP weakness to spill over into other markets including Singapore and Las Vegas Strip,” Fitch said.Discussing Singapore specifically, where GGR declined 3% year-on-year in 1H18 after growing 14% in 2017, Fitch said, “The recent weakness is largely driven by the VIP segment, which is slowing across the region and facing increased competition from expansions in Philippines and other newer markets.“We expect VIP weakness to carry into early 2019 and the full-year 2019 to be about flat, offset by a stable mass market.”

Stay on target By its nature Preacher is a mess. Often, that’s what’s great about the show. Sometimes though, in its efforts to bring us wacky chaos, it can lose the plot. Three episodes from the end of the season, at least it isn’t wasting time anymore. It picks up right after Starr presented Jesse to the Allfather and gives us one hell of an action scene. A sophisticated orchestral score underneath brutal violence is a bit of an overused joke on the show, but it still works. It’s funny and it makes the blood ballet feel all the more stylish. It’s also not the fight scene’s only gag. There’s a funny bit with an office-worker waiting for an elevator, and it also does the thing where it cuts away to Starr and Allfather casually listening to the chaos. It’s great. Jesse ends the fight quickly by putting a bullet in Allfather’s chest. He’s not dead yet though, so Starr still can’t give the game up. The fight scene ends the way it began: With Starr’s gun in Jesse’s face.The bullet didn’t even pierce Allfather’s heart as there’s too much in the way. It’s soon taken out, and Jesse’s captured once again. They strap him to a gurney and hook him up to a device that will coax Genesis out. The idea is that they’ll tunnel it straight into Humperdoo. As if his very appearance in any episode isn’t blasphemous enough, this one goes the extra mile and spills his guts everywhere. Because that’s what happens when you try to force Genesis into a vessel it didn’t choose. After a cleanup crew power-washes all the blood and intestines off the walls and floor, the Allfather reveals his backup plan. This makes the whole idea of humperdoo, the severely inbred offspring of Christ, even more disturbing. It turns out they’ve been cloning him. His chromosomes must be held together with scotch tape at this point, right?Humperdoo (Tyson Ritter) (Photo by Alfonso Bresciani/AMC/Sony Pictures Television)Oh boy, and if you thought the opening fight set to classical music was a bit much, it was just a warmup for what comes halfway through the episode. The flying guts, the slow motion splatter makes the scene a literal gore ballet. As Jesse learns from the Grail’s geneticist they really do have an endless supply of Humperdoos. It’s just a matter of finding the exact right genetic cocktail to inject into the tap-dancing Christ child to make him appeal to Genesis. Starr puts a gun in Jesse’s pocket, but his hands are tied. There’s no way he can use it, and Starr is too much of a coward to pull the trigger himself. I appreciate that even if Jesse seems to have begrudgingly warmed up to Starr, the show still won’t let him be cool. He’s gross, he’s sexist and he’s ineffective when it counts. For now though, it’s making me real tired of Jesse being so willing to work with him. I want their pure antagonism back. Like when Jesse was making Starr shove contracts up his own ass.Before long, they find a way to inject a Humperdoo with Genesis and not have him explode. They inject him with a genetic cocktail containing the DNA of President Thomas Jefferson and Wayne Brady. They call it the Tom/Brady (also the episode title). That’s probably the loudest guffaw this show has gotten out of me all season. It works, and for the first time, Genesis doesn’t force its way out of Humperdoo. Instead, the Grail scientist shoots him. This particular clone wasn’t the messiah they had in mind, I guess. The Allfather calls for the real deal, but we’re not shown what that is. Maybe it’s the tap dancing one? Either way, its at least an intriguing cliffhanger to leave us on after a whole episode’s worth of plot spent goofing around. Not that I mind that much. Goofing around is fun. I just wish it didn’t take until the final minutes to start going somewhere. And that the titular line of the episode was more than a one-off joke, funny though it was.Karen Strassman as Dr. Louis Slotnick (Photo Credit: Alfonso Bresciani/AMC/Sony Pictures Television)Back at Angelville, Madame L’Angelle is having nightmares after learning that Jesse’s after Genesis. In a scene that feels just off enough to be unsettling, she wakes up to find that the heist party has returned. Featherstone is dead and Tulip claims her souls are outside. She’s then met by an army of the dead, ready to drag her to hell. And with them is Jesse all Genesis’ed up to send her there. That scares her enough to call up Satan and renegotiate the terms of their deal. I’m so happy we got to see the devil again. His chummy business bro attitude and fire-and-brimstone appearance make me laugh every time. L’Angelle offers up Jesse, and Genesis, in exchange for the devil dragging Tulip to Hell.It’s a good thing that, despite what Madame L’Angelle’s dream implied, we didn’t skip the heist. Even with all the gory symphonies, watching Featherstone and Tulip bicker and snap their way through a soul robbery was the most fun part of the episode. Though the fake sexual harassment seminar wasn’t as funny as it could have been, it at least it gave Tulip and Featherstone more opportunities to insult each other. Their back and forth is entertaining. Corny workplace training seminars (yes, even harassment ones) can be great fodder for comedy. So it was a little disappointing that this one played it safe. Tulip and Featherstone were great, but the workplace harassment jokes were oddly tame and by-the-numbers. Especially for Preacher. There was an opportunity here to lampoon corporate culture and punch up at men in power, and the show just missed it. We learned a lot from this HR demo. #Preacher pic.twitter.com/Sq4dfdi3cN— PREACHER (@PreacherAMC) August 13, 2018The rest of the heist is great, though. It turns out Featherstone didn’t only want to make Tulip grab a man’s ass, she wanted her to steal his security card. It’s the only way they can get into the room with the Soul safe. The safe hacking scene is fun too. It’s always great to watch Tulip show up people who talk down to here, and it’s especially satisfying here. Featherstone and Hoover are about as likable as The Grail gets, but you still want to see them fail, ultimately.The cliffhanger for this story is a little contrived, but it’s a fine comedy of errors and sets up a potentially exciting story for next week. The Devil sent his assistant to capture Tulip, but failed to give her a photo or any explanation beyond “woman with dark hair.” Tulip sees an opportunity to ditch Featherstone and return the souls herself, and sends the Devil’s assistant after her. Only Featherstone switched the briefcases before getting taken. So yeah, the entire story strains credibility, but it’ll bring Jody and Tulip up against an agent of Hell, Hitler, Arseface and the Saint of Killers. Huh. Given Tulip’s history, that last one should be real interesting. If Preacher can pull it off, which… no guarantees.Malcolm Barrett as Hoover, Nathaniel Woolsey as Kevin, Joseph Gilgun as Cassidy (Photo Credit: Alfonso Bresciani/AMC/Sony Pictures Television)Cassidy’s storyline was easily the best for a second week in a row. It was the only one that had a real emotional journey in addition to wacky hijinks and violence. There was plenty of that too, of course. The Children of the Blood capture Hoover just before he tries to storm the basement and their debate about how they’ll kill him is some great comedic back-and-fourth. With Wicker Man references and a surprise detail about a random background character, there were some great jokes here. What really makes this story is Cassidy’s eventual discovery of what’s really going on with Eccarius. More than at any other point in the season, we really get to root for Cassidy as he puts the pieces together. First, with the woman he turned not returning his calls, then with Eccarius forgetting where he supposedly sent her, then it all comes together when Cassidy finds her airplane pillow in the trash, covered in blood.He stops Eccarius from killing Hoover at the last second, which I’m so happy about. He and Featherstone are part of the Grail, but their fun to have around. They may only be here to act as punching bags, but they’re our punching bags. The rest of the episode set up some exciting stuff for the final two, but this is the story I’m most looking forward to watching play out. The others could easily be mishandled, but the show’s been nailing this arc since it started. We’ve never seen Hoover this happy! #Preacher pic.twitter.com/0NOI2MC81K— PREACHER (@PreacherAMC) August 13, 2018 Let us know what you like about Geek by taking our survey. As much as I appreciate the spectacle of this episode, and it had a lot of it, the story got a little lost in it. I love Preacher for its over-the-top wacky violence, but at some point, the story has to move forward. The characters have to do something meaningful. It can’t all happen in once scene at the end as a next episode tease. Here, the story was all over the place. The episode couldn’t focus on any one of its plots long enough to make any impact. And the scene breaks weren’t strong enough to justify switching over to another story for a while. It felt like the episode was jingling its keys at us from three different directions. It’s entertaining, sure. It makes us laugh, but it doesn’t take us anywhere. I’d say hopefully the final two episodes will be more focused, but knowing this show, that won’t be the case. All I really hope for is that in all the inevitable chaos, the big moments are given enough room to feel like they matter. Because at this point, even the gore and blasphemy are losing their impact.Think other Vertigo books should be TV shows?

Their pass game isn’t conceptually different, but they like to get Prescott out on the perimeter more than they would with Romo because of his mobility. The read option elements in the run game are the biggest difference, which is unique to the play calling with Prescott under center.The Panthers are 1-5 coming off last year’s Super Bowl run. What does the film say about why they’ve struggled?Cosell:With the Panthers, the biggest difference is on the defensive side of the ball. It’s easy to say the secondary isn’t as good, but the most notable change is in their defensive schemes. Last week against the Saints, they didn’t play one snap in the Nickel (5 DB’s). They featured 3 linebackers on the field for every snap, which is unheard of in today’s pass heavy NFL. That hurts.Brandin Cooks got jets man✈️??? @brandincooks pic.twitter.com/J6pOPjTURm— Lions (3-3) (@RookieeeMUT) October 16, 2016 Aaron Rodgers had another poor game against the Cowboys. What does the film say about his struggles last week?Cosell:Successful NFL quarterbacks need precise ball location. At his best, Aaron Rodgers has shown pin point accuracy, precise ball location and an ability to throw with great velocity on intermediate and downfield throws. Those traits don’t normally go together. Right now, he’s lost that ability. He’s never been fundamentally sound, but it’s magnified with his struggles. Advertisement Colin has always regarded Andy Reid as an elite head coach, especially off bye weeks (16-2 career record). What does the film say about Andy Reid coached teams?Cosell:Andy Reid does excels at designing route concepts. If the route concepts work, they beat the anticipated defensive schemes. His route concepts set up successful throws. He’s doing it with Alex Smith in Kansas City, but he also did it with Donovan McNabb in Philly. His quarterbacks don’t throw interceptions. That’s largely a product of superior coaching.Alex Smith hits Jeremy Maclin for the #Chiefs #touchdown!#KCvsBAL pic.twitter.com/0lejsNsvzf— Def Pen Sports (@DefPenSports) December 20, 2015 Greg Cosell stopped by The Herd today for his weekly appearance to breakdown the film from the past NFL week. In a world of subjective fandom and media hype, Cosell’s evaluations are uncommonly objective and provide expert insight.So take off your fan hat, grab a pen, take some notes, and increase your football intelligence.Today, Colin asked Cosell what the film tells him about the Week 6 performances from around the league.Roll the film. Stop by the film room nest week to see what the film says about the most talked about performances from Week 7. Pittsburgh went down to Miami, and got pushed around by a less talented Dolphins team. What happened, according to the film?Cosell:Pittsburgh isn’t very good on defense, and they haven’t been all season. The days of the “Blitzburgh” defense are gone, and the Steelers have become a predominantly zone defense team, playing mostly Cover 3 and Cover 2. They’re no longer an aggressive blitzing team. They’ve also been hurt by the absence of Cameron Heyward and Ryan Shazier, who have missed time with injuries. The combination of losing players, a change in philosophy, and playing younger players has had a negative impact. On offense, they’ve been effective with Roethlisberger, who’s now going to miss time with a knee injury, but they need their offense to win games. If they aren’t scoring points, they have trouble finding ways to win games.Ben Roethlisberger lanza con gran puntería ? y encuentra a @sammiecoates11 que ?? 72 yardas para el TD ? #NYJvsPIT pic.twitter.com/2TeF2wfkjG— NFL México (@nflmx) October 11, 2016 Carson Wentz struggled last week against the Redskins (11/22 with 0 TD’s). Are teams figuring him out? What does the film say?Cosell:It was an odd game. You almost have to push it aside in the evaluation of Wentz. There was one stretch in the game where, other than a kneel down at the end of the first half, the Redskins ran 38 consecutive offensive plays and the Eagles didn’t possess the ball. The issue for the Eagles was pass protection. They started a rookie right tackle, and it forced them to change their offensive approach. They like to line up in 5 receiver sets, but had to dedicate additional blockers to help in pass protection. That changes the route concepts. Wentz’s numbers aren’t a true indicator of why the Eagles lost.Wentz extends the play w/his legs & delivers an accurate pass while being tackled to ground. Ridiculous #Eagles pic.twitter.com/5Gtmq9AxsS— Patrick (@pcausey3) October 19, 2016The Redskins have been surprisingly good, and Kirk Cousins has put up impressive numbers. What does the film say about Cousins’ performance?Cosell:Their offensive line has played extremely well this year, and allowed Cousins time to throw. During their 4-game win streak, they’ve also started to run the ball efficiently, specifically on outside zone plays with Matt Jones. Cousins is the type of quarterback that needs solid offensive line play to be effective. So far this season, Washington’s line play has been outstanding.The DJax ball was a dime, but this throw from Kirk Cousins on a wheel route to Vernon Davis might have been even better #Redskins pic.twitter.com/QvkjYHk44d— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) October 18, 2016
On Tuesday, Gnome announced that they are planning on retiring the app menus from its next release, which is GNOME 3.32. Application menus or app menus are the menus that you see in the GNOME 3 top bar, with the name and icon for the current app. Why application menus are being removed in GNOME? The following are the reasons GNOME is bidding adieu to the application menus: Poor user engagement: Since their introduction, application menus have been a source of usability issues. The app menus haven’t been performing well over the years, despite efforts to improve them. Users don’t really engage with them. Two different locations for menu items: Another reason for the application menus not doing well could be the split between app menus and the menus in application windows. With two different locations for menu items, it becomes easy to look in the wrong place, particularly when one menu is more frequently visited than the other. Limited adoption by third-party applications: Application menus have seen limited adoption by third-party applications. They are often kept empty, other than the default quit item, and people have learned to ignore them. What guidelines developers must follow? All GNOME applications will have to move the items from its app menu to a menu inside the application window. Here are the guidelines that developers need to follow: Remove the app menu and move its menu items to the primary menu If required, split the primary menus into primary and secondary menus The about menu item should be renamed from “About” to “About application-name” Guidelines for the primary menu Primary menu is the menu you see in the header bar and has the icon with three stacked lines, also referred to as the hamburger menu. In addition to app menu items, primary menus can also contain other menu items. 2. Quit menu item is not required so it is recommended to remove it from all locations. 3. Move other app menu items to the bottom of the primary menu. 4. A typical arrangement of app menu items in a primary menu is a single group of items: Preferences Keyboard Shortcuts Help About application-name 5. Applications that use a menu bar should remove their app menu and move any items to the menu bar menus. If an application fails to remove the application menu by the release of GNOME 3.32, it will be shown in the app’s header bar, using the fallback UI that is already provided by GTK.
