Krista has been a Coast Salish weaver for 30 years. “Inspired by my great-grandmother who was a basket weaver. Due to many influences in my life, I always had an interest in weaving”
Coast Salish weaver Krista Point is a member of the Musqueam Nation. Her weavings have been displayed internationally and are included in collections at the Smithsonian, Museum of Anthropology at UBC, the Bill Reid Foundation, CBC and the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games.
“The weavings that I’ve done are with traditional designs which come from old blankets and baskets. I like the zig zag design. This design has a few different meanings — a trail or a snake as well as lightning, it has a lot of strength and power. I use the Salish butterflies on most of my weavings, the double arrowhead, checker board pattern and herringbone.
“The colors I use are natural colors. Yellow can be dyed from onion skins, dandelions, goldenrod flowers. Green is dyed with stinging nettles, horsetail plants and red onion skins. Red can be dyed with red alder bark. The goldish beige color if from lichens. The colors you get depend on the type of tree you pick it from; they are energy forces that affect us positively or negatively, altering our moods and awareness.
“One-third of the work begins even before you start to weave. First you have to split the wool, rove the wool which means rolling it on your leg that give you a little spin before you put it through the spinner. When the wool is spun you have to shock it in hot tap water. This gives it strength and holds the spin together. The steps for dying the wool are to soak it in what you call a mordant bath. This is done by soaking the wool in the mordant and helps the fiber accept the dye and prevent it from fading.
“As the years go by, I’m more and more inspired by the many different designs I have used on the blankets, shawls, bags and pillows. Every project I do is special to me and I strive to do better on each one. I love to weave and I enjoy sharing my work with others whether it’s teaching, or displaying my work.”

The next satellites in Europe’s Galileo satellite navigation system won’t be blasting off from the Guiana Space Centre today after all, as a result of bad weather.
Commercial space transportation company Arianespace has decided to put off the launch of Soyuz flight VS09 carrying Europe’s fifth and sixth Galileo satellites. Liftoff had been scheduled for 1.31pm Irish time today.
A new launch date depends on how the weather unfolds in Kourou, French Guiana, the European Space Agency (ESA) said.
The two satellites, SAT 5 and SAT 6, will join four others already in orbit in the Galileo network. The two satellites will also will eventually form part of a group of 27 satellites and three reserves.
The goal of the Galileo network is to provide an alternative to global navigation systems, such as GPS.

Just a few days after sanctioning the sale of Oscar Mingueza, FC Barcelona have reached an agreement with LA Galaxy for the sale of yet another fringe player, in the form of Riqui Puig.
The young midfielder has joined the MLS outfit in order to take the next step in his career, the club confirmed in an official statement. It was revealed that both Barça and LA Galaxy had reached an agreement, with the Catalans reserving the rights to re-sign the player.
Barcelona have also retained a 50% value of Puig’s future sell, meaning they are entitled to half of the transfer fee amount should LA Galaxy look to move him on, in the coming years.
Puig’s move to the United States will be a surprise, to be sure, as many had expected the midfielder to remain in one of Europe’s top-five clubs and further his development, perhaps even in La Liga with Celta Vigo interested in his services.
But the Spaniard should be quite ecstatic about joining an LA Galaxy side that is home to footballing stars such as Chicharito and Douglas Costa. The addition of Puig, in that regard, should help Greg Vanney’s men offer some creativity in the final third.
The official statement from Barcelona has not disclosed the exact transfer valuation nor the exact length of Puig’s personal contract with LA Galaxy, but the club will be delighted to have gotten rid of yet another fringe player.

SINGAPORE - When a scammer learnt that an elderly woman had lost a loved one recently, he used this information to convince her to let him protect her savings.
She trusted him, withdrew $120,000 from her bank account and passed it to the scammer, who went to her house to collect it.
The woman eventually figured out that it was a scam and called the police, but it was too late.
Ms Eva Lim, director of integrated communications and marketing at the Agency for Integrated Care (AIC), recounted the woman’s encounter with the scammer during a panel discussion on the human impact of scams on Wednesday.
Ms Lim said: “When (a Silver Generation Office) ambassador spoke to her, she said she found it very difficult to trust people around her.
“And for someone who is already somehow isolated, she will slip into further isolation... So, it is not just financial loss. There are also social and mental impacts which are detrimental to the senior.”
The Silver Generation Office is the outreach arm of AIC. Its ambassadors connect with seniors and address their ageing needs.
Ms Lim did not say how old the woman was and declined to give further details of the case.
Also at the panel discussion, which was part of the second edition of anti-scam seminar Scaminar! ACT Against Scams, held at Suntec Singapore Convention and Exhibition Centre, was Dr Majeed Khader, chief psychologist at the Ministry of Home Affairs.
He said the impact of scams goes beyond financial losses. When people become scam victims, they tend to lose trust in those around them.
“There are very clear mental health effects as well,” said Dr Majeed. “If you are a victim of a scam, sometimes it is hard to sleep. You are worried, you are very anxious... and (there are victims who) have been suicidal... Self-harm is also something that we see.
“So, one impact is the physical. Another impact is also psychological: anxiety, depression, tension and stress.”
Another panel speaker, Mr R.V. Sathish Naidu, head of unions and projects at the Migrant Workers’ Centre, said that migrant workers here are also vulnerable to scams.
He said being afraid of the authorities could lead them to fall for a scam.
“If another migrant worker (goes to him) and says he is from an authority and shows a fake badge, the (victim) gets upset (and is fearful) that he has done something wrong.
“He doesn’t want to be sent back, so he tries to abide by the regulations because he came to Singapore, a rule-based country, to work.”
Mr Sathish added that MWC has a 24-hour hotline for migrant workers to call for help.
“Whether they speak Tagalog or Bahasa Indonesia, it is very important that we ensure that they have an avenue and know they are not left out. They will thus know that if there is a problem, the relevant authorities are always there to help,” he said.
To help seniors avoid falling victim to scams, digital ambassadors from the SG Digital Office have been reaching out to them to improve their digital skills, said Mr Tan Fong Chin, deputy director of the Infocomm Media Development Authority’s network project office.
“There have also been instances when seniors approach the ambassadors to confide in them that they have been approached by scammers, or try to find out whether they have been scammed because they are afraid to approach their own family members,” he said.
Mr Tan added that seniors are also taught online safety and given cyber hygiene tips. “This way, we hope that our seniors can enjoy the benefits of digitalisation while staying safe in the online space.”

Mystery Of The Lake Michigan Triangle
Just like the Bermuda Triangle, the mysterious triangle in Lake Michigan has been claiming ships and planes for decades or longer.
Stretching from Ludington to Benton Harbor, Michigan and to Manitowoc, Wisconsin, the Lake Michigan Triangle has inspired numerous accounts of activity that are difficult to explain by rational thought.
Some claimed the triangle was a time portal and that it either slowed or sped up time immensely during passage. Others maintained that UFOs were seen in the area, or reported bright lights in the sky.
there are numerous stories of this place. For example, from the Chicago Tribune,
The twin-engine plane crashed Friday night in a heavily wooded area on Beaver Island, about 20 miles off the Michigan coast.
The one I remember most is of an old school friends sister. Her name was Peggy Lammon, she was a mounted Deputy for the Kalamazoo County Sheriffs Office. Along with her husband and two friends, they flew north for a fishing trip but never arrived. parts of the plain washed ashore on Beaver Island.
This oddity is even featured on Weird or What, see the video below.
Do you know of any oddities around the Mitten State or your own experience with the Michigan Triangle? Let us know in the comment section below.

Urban Acres has leased a space on Beckley at Greenbriar with plans for a cafe and “urban farmstead” that would include an aquaponic system, a chicken coop, bee hives and a garden.
To renovate the former service station, build a kitchen and outdoor seating area and create all of the farm-related stuff is expected to cost about $30,000. That’s why Urban Acres, the locally owned grocer that specializes in local organic food, this week launched a Kickstarter campaign.
Check out their video appeal below and their Kickstarter page here. The campaign ends Aug. 5, and kind of like with public radio, there are premiums for donating.

In this brief article, we will answer the question, “Why do Muslims not eat pork?” and provide information on which animal products should not be eaten by Muslims, why the pig is considered dirty, what is trichinosis as well as whether pigs can be eaten during food scarcity.
Why do Muslims not eat pork?
Muslims do not eat pork as it is forbidden in Islam. Pigs are associated with sin and filth. Consumption of pork is punishable as per Sharia law. The Quran also prohibits Muslims from eating pork. As a result, Muslims do not eat pork.
Apart from various health problems that can come with pork consumption, consuming pig meat is considered to be bad for one’s spiritual well-being.
According to Muslims, an individual who consumes pork will take on the characteristics of a pig. This includes being promiscuous, immoral, and bad behavior.
What other animal products should Muslims avoid eating?
Muslims should avoid eating carrion, drinking blood, or any other animal that is dedicated to God. Animals that are beaten, strangled, or suffocated should not be eaten.
Animals that have been partially eaten by other animals or toppled should not be eaten either. Only animals that are killed in a humane manner can be eaten.
Why is a pig considered dirty?
Pigs are associated with over 70 diseases including swine flu, worms, infections, and parasites. Pigs are known to roll in mud and eat their own feces too. This makes them filthy and unsafe to be eaten.
Swine flu is the most common disease related to pig consumption. Symptoms associated with Swine flu are fever, lethargy, rapid weight loss, reduced appetite, excessive mucus production, diarrhea, cough, and sore throat.
Pigs contain high levels of cholesterol and fat too. Excess consumption of pig meat has been associated with an increased risk of developing scabies, obesity, and allergies. There can also be a risk of rectum, prostate, or colon cancers.
Tapeworms are another factor that is related to pig consumption. Tapeworms are 4-10 meters long and are excreted through the infected person’s feces.
It can enter the body through pig consumption and multiply rapidly. It travels to the brain, heart, tissues, and eyes. Tapeworms can lead to high blood pressure, heart problems, and cognitive issues if not treated promptly.
Besides, nitrates are added to pork. These nitrates can get converted into nitrosamines which can result in the formation of tumors or cancer.
Eating pork regularly can affect the skin of humans too. There can be an increased formation of boils, pimples, or cysts. Touching pigs can lead to salmonellosis which results in abdominal cramps, diarrhea, and vomiting.
What is trichinosis?
Trichinosis is an infection that occurs because of roundworms present in raw or undercooked meat. When raw or undercooked pork is eaten, the eggs of roundworms can enter the intestine of humans.
These eggs can hatch to become worms. These worms, once formed, rapidly multiply after mating.
Roundworm infections can cause anemia, tiredness, headaches, paralysis, and madness. There can also be nervous system issues that could be observed. Severe infections can result in headaches, madness, and paralysis.
Why is eating carrion prohibited?
Eating carrion is prohibited because it is unclear how the animal has died. Some animals can die because of sickness or an accident. Consuming such meat can introduce parasites, bacteria, or other pathogens into one’s body.
The blood of such animals can be harmful too. Even though carrion consumption is not allowed, eating dead fish or locusts is allowed under certain conditions.
This is because when fish are taken out of the water, they naturally die. However, if dead fish float in water, it is not acceptable to eat them.
Can pigs be eaten during food scarcity?
Yes, pork can be eaten only during food scarcity. If an individual unintentionally consumes pork, they can be forgiven too.
Which animals can be eaten as per Islam?
Animals that can be eaten are sheep, goats, cows, camels, chickens, geese, deer, fowls, rabbits, and deer. Fishes or seafood caught from the sea can also be eaten.
Animals that are killed through bullets can also be eaten. However, the bullets should pierce the flesh of animals. If the bullets do not hit the animal but are nevertheless killed, it is not permitted to consume them.
Animals killed by pet dogs can be eaten as long as you recite Quranic verses before dogs are set off to kill. If unknown dogs bring the flesh, you are not permitted to eat them.
In this brief article, we have answered the question, “Why do Muslims not eat pork?” and provided information on which animal products should not be eaten by Muslims, why the pig is considered dirty, what is trichinosis as well as whether pigs can be eaten during food scarcity.

First post here, yay! I just wanted to keep you up to date on my next works, since most of the feedback on lit is about "when will the next part of X come out?"
I sent the 3rd part of "Unwilling" to my beta reader this monday, and I'm putting the finishing touches to "Shapeshifter" part 3 right now.
As you can probably see on my blog, I've also been working on 2 other stories that haven't been published on Lit yet, even though I've got them online here. The reason for that is that I'm not happy with them yet, or (as with "Fortuna smiled") that I don't yet know where to go with the story. I'd love some comments on them though, since I do want to finish and publish those stories one day ;)
If you like my stories, just subscribe to my blog. I'll post news and publication dates here, and give notice when new stories are published on Lit.

New Delhi, Aug 13 : As generative AI (aka chatbots) spark a lot of debate among its stakeholders, industry leaders in India believe that while there are some risks associated primarily related to data, privacy and security, generative AI has more opportunities than risks and we are yet to explore its true potential to improve productivity, ingenuity, creativity, efficiency, and communication.
Generative AI refers to algorithms that have the capability to create original content, including text, images, videos, or audio.
“Generative AI (GenAI), specifically around large language models (LLMs) has lately garnered a lot of interest and sparked a lot of discussion in the community. GenAI is an assistive and augmented technology when used by humans, it can add to the creativity and ingenuity of humans,” Vic Gupta, Chief Technology Officer, Coforge, told
To adapt and empower the workforce with the necessary skills and tools, Coforge has proactively developed internal learning paths and curriculum.
“To demonstrate our preparedness and effectiveness in various industries and across different use cases, we have identified over 100 potential scenarios, use cases and solutions that solve one or more client business problems,” Gupta informed.
The company has also partnered with Microsoft as their investments in OpenAI align perfectly with its goals.
“We have already integrated the public OpenAI into our Quasar, an Intelligent AI Platform, allowing us to utilise ChatGPT APIs for tasks such as data summarisation, classification, and segmentation,” said Gupta.
While ChatGPT has gained significant attention recently, it’s important to understand that generative AI encompasses much more than just ChatGPT.
“For instance, when you pose a question to ChatGPT and receive an answer, the algorithm generates the text of the response based on its learning from a vast amount of training data. Similarly, other generative AI algorithms like DALL-E can generate images based on text prompts given to them,” said Anil Kaul, Chief AI Officer, Infogain.
GenAI has many potential applications. For example, a portfolio manager at a bank could use GenAI to generate investment advice.
“In customer relationship management (CRM) systems, GenAI can summarise conversation transcripts and extract pending action items that the customer support team can follow up on. In technical support, GenAI plays an important role in finding resolutions to myriad issues in a quick and effective manner,” Prabhakar Srinivasan, Director of Technology, AI/ML/Data Science at Synechron, said.
In cybersecurity or finance, generative models can learn what normal transactions or network traffic look like and generate alarms when anomalies occur.
“GenAI can also generate code which can be a productivity boost for developers. In all these examples of applications, GenAI augments the capabilities of human experts and hence plays the role of co-pilot,” Srinivasan informed.
While generative AI has its perks, one key issue faced by users is Artificial Intelligence hallucinations.
When we feed in a question and the systems don’t understand the question or it’s misinterpreted, the system generates a response regardless, with incorrect information. Something that doesn’t actually exist.
“Added to this, its data-driven algorithms limit the system’s information pool. The systems struggle with understanding context, especially when presented with new or unfamiliar information or scenarios. It lacks creativity and tends to miss nuances while creating content- which can be fixed with human touch,” informed Jacob Joseph, VP–Data Science, CleverTap.
According to Srinivasan, relying heavily on generative AI without the necessary checks and balances from a human expert to validate the results can lead to potentially unsafe and/or unethical or biased applications.
“Guardrails must be put into place due to legal and ethical issues around copyrights and attribution of source. There are also some risks on how people will use them, creating deep-fakes or generating fake news,” he noted.
Even in its most basic form, ChatGPT could be deployed as a more advanced customer support chatbot.
“We have already seen glimpses of this with Intercom announcing ‘Fin’, a GPT-4 powered customer service chatbot that requires zero setups and understands complicated support tickets without human intervention. Furthermore, some generative AI tools enable brands to create more personalised and emotionally resonant campaigns, helping brands,” Joseph emphasised.
Generative AI, hailed as the ‘next big thing’ in MarketingTech (MarTech), holds the potential to elevate marketers to ’10x marketer’ status.
“By delving into the intricacies of generative AI, marketers can unlock a realm of new possibilities. Integrating generative AI into various workflows, even those that are siloed, has the power to address long-standing challenges in MarTech, such as scaling hyper-personalized content,” he added.
While a lot of companies are only still experimenting with the technology, pricing is not going to be a game changer for the adoption of generative AI tools.
“Seeing how it unlocks unprecedented levels of productivity and innovation, businesses are going to be open to investing in the technology,” Joseph said.

Malaysia aims to raise as much as 30 billion ringgit ($9.9 billion) through an Islamic bond program to fund construction of a mass railway in the Southeast Asian nation’s capital, the project’s manager said.
Dana Infra Sdn., a finance ministry company set up to fund infrastructure projects, will sell ringgit-denominated Islamic bonds, or sukuk, with maturities of as much as 65 years, Azhar Abdul Hamid, chief executive officer of Mass Rapid Transit Corp., said in an interview today. It will initially take a bridging loan of 500 million ringgit from a consortium of banks to cover early building work, he said.
“Getting funding is not a problem as we have government support,” Azhar said. Dana Infra “will sell 20 billion to 30 billion ringgit of sukuk in three to four months.”
The planned sale follows a record issuance of 30.6 billion ringgit of Shariah-compliant bonds by Malaysia’s PLUS Bhd. completed in January. Rising global investor appetite for sukuk, that comply with the religion’s ban on interest, prompted Development Bank of Kazakhstan, Islamic Bank of Thailand and Turkey to announce plans to offer securities in 2012 over the past three weeks.
Dana Infra’s bonds will likely receive a AAA rating from local rating companies due to sovereign backing, Azhar said. Irwan Siregar, deputy secretary to the treasury, wasn’t immediately available to comment by telephone today.
State-owned MRT Corp. is managing the 156-kilometer (97-mile) Kuala Lumpur railway that may cost 48 billion ringgit including rolling stock, according to a government estimate in 2010. An updated costing will likely be made at year-end once key contracts have been awarded, Azhar told reporters last week when granting the project’s first major construction contracts worth a total 1.74 billion ringgit to IJM Corp. and Ahmad Zaki Resources Bhd.
The railway will ease traffic congestion in the capital and carry 2 million passengers a day when finished, with the first line scheduled for completion in 2016, the government said in its 2010 report.

The Orioles on Thursday prevailed in an arbitration hearing with right-hander Brad Bergesen.
Bergesen, who went 2-7 with a 5.70 ERA in 101 innings, will be paid $800,000 in 2012 rather than the $1.2 million he sought.
Clubs have won three of five arbitration cases so far this winter. All hearings are held in St. Petersburg, Fla.
A swingman in 2011, Bergesen struck out 61 batters and walked 32.
The Orioles may go to another arbitration hearing if a deal can't be reached with outfielder Adam Jones, who's requesting $7.4 million. The team has offered $5 million. The date of that potential hearing is Feb. 17, according to MASN.

text: Something made Rob Kardashian cry. Something made Rob Kardashian book a flight to LAX from Florence before his sister got married for the third time. My guess is she had a weigh in and he was deemed to heavy for the wedding photos. OK, maybe it wasn't that. Maybe he tried to have all the bridesmaids and groomsmen do the wedding dance thing to that Chris brown song and Yeezus put his foot down and said no. Maybe Rob caught Yeezus trying on the Givenchy wedding gown and tried to take photos. Maybe Rob made jokes about Jay-Z and Beyonce skipping the wedding because they had more important things to do and that got Yeezus mad. There are so many possibilities. I could be here all day talking about them. It takes a lot to make a guycry though and leave a wedding before it starts and then fly all the way home alone. I think everyone makes fun of him in the family because he can't f**k or get naked for money like the women can.

Although we drove a pre-production version of the 2019 BMW X7 last summer, wrapped up in camouflage, the company has just released official pictures of its newest — and biggest — SUV.
The X7 will be built in Spartanburg, S.C., alongside the 2019 BMW X5, which received a full redesign, sharing many components. The X7’s wheelbase is 130 millimetres longer than the X5’s (3105 mm versus 2975 mm), and overall length is up by 207 mm, providing more interior space for rearseat occupants. Three-row, seven-passenger seating is standard, although second-row captain’s chairs can be ordered for a six-passenger layout. Those seats include the same power-adjustments as the front ones, in addition to integrated armrest and comfort cushions. With all seats upright, cargo space is rated at 1,376 litres, while folding down the second and third rows yields a cargo area of 2,560 L.
The interior furnishings are on par with the quality found in the BMW 7 Series sedan, although the instrument panel design is virtually identical to the X5’s. Also on board are twin 12.3-inch LCD screens, as is the 7.0 operating system — BMW’s latest infotainment software — which brings new connectivity features. On the options list are a panoramic sunroof, head-up display, BMW Laserlights, an app allowing a smartphone to act as car key, a rearseat Blu-ray entertainment system with dual touchscreens as well as a 1,500-watt Bowers & Wilkins Diamond sound system.
BMW claims the X7’s signature kidney grille is the largest one even fitted to their models, because of course, bigger is better. It boasts a more upright stance than the X5 with its broad shoulders and hips, and the standard 21-inch alloy wheels further enhance the SUV’s massiveness.
Two versions of the 2019 BMW X7 will be offered at launch. The xDrive40i boasts a turbocharged, 3.0-L inline-six that develops 335 horsepower as well as 330 lb.-ft. of torque from 1,500 to 5,200 rpm. The xDrive50i gets a twin-turbo, 4.4-L V8 that belts out 456 horsepower as well as 479 lb.-ft. of torque between 1,500 and 4,750 rpm.
Pricing hasn’t yet been announced, but we’re expecting a base price of about $80K. For the record, the X5 xDrive40i starts at $71,000 while the xDrive50i retails from $86,000. The 2019 BMW X7 will go on sale next March.

This month Forks Junior High students were taught about social norms.
Social norms are what is considered normal for a group of people, what most people in a certain group do.
Perceived norms are what people think is the norm, while actual norms are the statistical data which shows what people are reporting themselves. A survey was conducted in the lunchroom about energy drinks.
Students were asked how many energy drinks do junior high students drink on most days?
Survey of 79 students
0 drinks: 10 percent
1 drink: 14 percent
2 drinks: 39 percent
3+ drinks: 38 percent
How many energy drinks do you drink on most days?
0 drinks: 56 percent
1 drink: 19 percent
2 drinks: 15 percent
3+ drinks: 10 percent
Notice the difference? What kids think they see is actually quite different than the data they reported themselves.
Most students thought that junior high students are drinking at least two energy drinks every day, when looking at the data of what they reported themselves, most students do not drink energy drinks at all on most days.
This happens because what is different stands out to us, it gets talked about, it gets noticed.
In the classroom, students were asked about the percentage of students they thought drink alcohol in junior high and in high school (asked separately).
Students thought that most students in both the junior high and high school drink alcohol, but data based off the Healthy Youth Survey (taken in October 2018) shows that 85.9 percent of 8th grade junior high students have not drunk in the last 30 days and 73.0 percent of high school students have not drunk alcohol in the last 30 days.
Looking at the data of our schools is encouraging, despite what the perceived norms may say.
Most of our students are doing other healthier things with their time. We want to spread the message that healthy choices are the norm for our students!

When Josef Centeno opened Bäco Mercat a little less than a year ago, the stunning menu — calibrated to suit both California produce and myriad Spanish sauces — and happy atmosphere were less a surprise than the fact that it was actually Centeno's first restaurant. The Texas-born chef was a veteran of many wonderful kitchens (Manresa, Meson G, Opus, Lazy Ox) but had never opened his own place. In this case the wait was well worth it, as the restaurant quickly found a spot on the list of this town's (and the country's) best. Centeno has a creative, wildly eclectic approach to food, and a sensibility that is partly that of a classically trained saucier and partly that of a backyard inventor. His bäco (it's trademarked!), a hybrid taco-gyro thing built with bread Centeno makes himself, and his bäzole, a bowl of soup situated somewhere between pho and pozole, are emblematic of the chef's cooking. Sitting under the vaulted ceilings of the small restaurant, on furniture the chef refurnished himself, you can order anything on the crazy-quilt menu and be assured that you'll leave utterly happy. Like some heavy-metal bands, Centeno uses his umlaut for mysterious reasons; unlike those bands, Centeno's diacritic is a repeated mark of excellence. 408 S. Main St., dwntwn.

A man allegedly at the centre of a three-week long crime spree in the Mandurah area has been charged by police.
Police arrested the man after a search at a residence on Elizabeth Street in Mandurah yesterday, following four robbery-related incidents between February 18 and March 7.
The 20-year-old of no fixed address was charged with two counts of armed robbery, and single counts each of attempted armed robbery and robbery.
The crime spree began on February 18 when the man allegedly entered a supermarket on Mandurah Terrace in the late afternoon and took several items from the shelves, concealling them in his clothing.
When staff attempted to confront him, he allegedly became aggressive and despite being restrained, managed to break free and exit.
On February 27, a man entered a fast food outlet on Pinjarra Road in Mandurah and allegedly told staff he had a firearm and demanded money, but left empty-handed.
On March 5, a man entered a retail/appliance store on Pinjarra Road in Greenfields and selected two vacuum cleaners, before allegedly attempting to leave the store without paying for them.
When confronted by staff, the man allegedly threatened them with a knife and left the store.
The crime spree concluded on March 7, when a man entered a service station on Pinjarra Road in Mandurah just after noon.
He allegedly threatened staff with a knife and demanded cash, before leaving the store with the money.
He was refused bail and will appear in Perth Magistrates Court today.

Journey Of Nation Reflected In Journey Of Society: PM Modi
BHUJ (Kutch): The journey of any nation is reflected in the journey of its society, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Thursday.
Prime Minister Modi made the comments in a video message on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the Akhil Bharatiya Kutch Katwa Patidar Samaj at Nakdrana, 50 kilometers from Bhuj in Gujarat’s Kutch district.
He said that Indian society was subjected to atrocities by foreign invaders for hundreds of years. But the ancestors of the soil did not allow their identity to be destroyed and their faith to be fragmented.
“We are witnessing the effect of centuries of sacrifices in today’s generation of this successful society,” PM Modi said.
“The journey of any nation is reflected in the journey of its society”, he said underlining the 100 years of history of Patidar Samaj and 100 years of history of Akhil Bharatiya Kutch Katwa Patidar Samaj.
“Sanathan” is not just a word, it is always new and ever changing, the Prime Minister said. It has an innate desire to improve itself from the past and is therefore eternal and immortal.
‘Sanathan Dharma’ (eternal religion) is used by Hindus to refer to Hinduism.
Appreciating the growing respect and reverence for traditions, Prime Minister Modi said, “Society has built its present and laid the foundation for its future.” Reflecting on his political career and association with the Patidar community, Modi recalled working with the Kathwa Patidar Samaj on several issues as Chief Minister of Gujarat.
Referring to the Kutch earthquake, he praised the strength of the community involved in relief and reconstruction efforts.
He noted how Kutch is considered one of the most backward districts in the country where issues like water scarcity, starvation, animal deaths and migration have become its hallmark.
“But over the years, together, we have revitalized Kutch,” the Prime Minister said, referring to the work done to solve Kutch’s water crisis and make it the world’s biggest tourist destination.
Expressing happiness that Kutch is one of the fastest growing districts in the country today, he cited examples of improved connectivity, large industries and agricultural exports from the region.
Prime Minister Modi also expressed happiness that the Kathwa Patidar Samaj has presented a vision and resolutions for the next 25 years as the country completes 100 years of independence.
He underlined that the decisions taken on social harmony, environment and organic farming are all linked to the country’s ‘Amirth’ resolution (goals for a developed India by 2047).
Jagadguru Shankaracharya of Sharda Peeth Swami Sadanand Saraswati and leaders of the Kadva Patidar Samaj of Kutch were present at the event, which was attended virtually by Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel.

READ about Piers Morgan's long career in journalism here.
Each day, we here at "Piers Morgan Tonight" put together the news you need to know – from what happened last night to what will happen today.
For December 13, 2012 – Prank call nurse found hanging by co-workers, North Korea's launch causes worries about nukes, Iran and the Pacific and the nominees are announced for the 70th annual Golden Globes...
• Prank call nurse found hanging by co-workers: "A nurse who took a prank call from an Australian radio station apparently hanged herself using a scarf, but her reasons for pursuing that tragic course remain unclear. Jacintha Saldanha was found last Friday by work colleagues hanging from a wardrobe door at her hospital living quarters, a coroner's court in London heard Thursday."
• N. Korea's launch causes worries about nukes, Iran and the Pacific: "North Korea's newly launched satellite marks a "big deal" for Pyongyang, the crossing of a major threshold and a public relations win for the secretive country's new leader, Kim Jong Un, experts say. The success, after years of failed attempts, triggered worries among world leaders about nuclear weapons, Iran and the balance of power in the Pacific."
• Fiscal Cliff talks still hung up on taxes: "Public posturing or possible stalemate? Continued sniping by both sides in the fiscal cliff negotiations shows little movement on the core issue – higher taxes on the wealthy."
• Is a Republican the frontrunner for defense?: "Former Nebraska Republican Sen. Chuck Hagel has met with both President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden, as the president considers tapping him to replace Leon Panetta as defense secretary, according to several knowledgeable sources."
• Nominees announced for 70th annual Golden Globes: "The nominees for the 70th annual Golden Globe Awards were announced Thursday by Jessica Alba, Megan Fox and Ed Helms. Steven Spielberg's epic on the 16th president, 'Lincoln,' stood out in the film categories with seven Golden Globe nominations, followed closely by Ben Affleck's 'Argo' and Quentin Tarantino's 'Django Unchained.'"

2. You are put on happy pills that works for a while.
Lets get tougher on bullies. Yes, this includes the media.
Oops ! When a therapist can not cure you that find a way out.....
"So you also live in denial that Charlie is Gay, and his marriage to Camilla is a joke? That he has no kids, and Lizzie has done nothing but cover up for her kids?? Anne was divorsed year ago but it never went public. We all know about Andrew and fergie. as for Edward and his corruption, it all got shoved under the carpet. Now we have Diana's kids, that Lizzie had murdered so she could get her filthy hands on them so as to continue her thrust for power.
Forever live in denial,Pierse, But we all knew this long before I left England, for the third time."
Please, do not refer to her as "pranked nurse". For God's sake, that is so disrespectful. How about "royal nurse" or "London nurse"?
Pierce Morgan – I always liked him and usually find his shows to be interesting and educational. However, referring to the Australiian DJ's accents as a"horrible twang" is extremely offensive, disrespectful and rude. When it comes to dialect, it's something you don't attack such as someone's mother or religion. He crossed the line and should apologize to the Australian people for the attack on their dialect. I'm American and will not accept attacks on my dialect either. We're the product of our enviornment and our dialects are part of our culture. Be a professional and apologize.
I always thought Piers was a good reporter until tonight. His rants against guns was in my estimation just to take advantage of this terrible crisis and to sensationalize his agenda and that of CNN. It was out of line. Since you are not American you should stick to what you know like IRA bombing. Are you so naive to believe that if we did away with all guns that people would make their own. In the sixties bad people were making zip guns with a tube and rubber bands and what about Tim McVey who used fertilizer to make a bomb. Your rant on assault rifles when in the same picture the pistols could fire as many rounds as fast as the rifle and with the same effect. Stick to something you know like who is sleeping with who.
Megan Fox said of being a popular media topic that, though she is not on the same level as Jennifer Aniston, Britney Spears, or Lindsay Lohan, she does find it difficult and that there have been times when people have avoided being around her because they do not want to end up in the media's spotlight. "I need to behave in a way and handle myself in a way that will cause people to take me seriously," ^.."

Weiss Medea D/A processor Page 2
Will a class-A CD player benefit from an external DAC?
My favorite reference disc is one of my 2002 "Records To Die For," Sera Una Noche, by vocalist Pedro Aznar and a small tango group (M•A Recordings M052A). The extension and delineation of low bass was a marked distinction of the Medea through its coax or balanced inputs, but not when I used the TosLink input. There was then simply more low end, and it was better defined. Pedro Aznar's voice seemed slightly fuller, as if the Medea had a tilt that favored the low portion the voice's frequency range. Yet Aznar's characteristic nasality and sibilants were not suppressed. To complete the triad of felicities, the ambience of the recorded space (a small stone church) was larger, and the instruments and voices were more clearly distinguishable within it. Female voices on other recordings, such as those of Alison Krauss and Patricia Barber, were also more rounded without being masculinized.
All of that might make you think that the Medea sounded dark and perhaps a bit hooded. It was exactly the opposite. It seemed that the Medea's transparency and resolution simply avoided emphasis in favor of natural space and balance. For example, in the opening of the last movement of Leonard Bernstein's later recording of Mahler's Symphony 6 (Deutsche Grammophon 27697), powerful and spacious though it remained, the Medea made it clear that there's not much deep bass, and that the Vienna Philharmonic's violins on this disc are quite steely. Contrast that with Glen Cortese's recording of the work (Titanic Ti-257), and, for all the difference in experience and reputation, the student violins of the Manhattan School of Music Symphony Orchestra sound more like strings, and engineer Jerry Bruck's bass has real impact. The Medea let me hear all the differences, and would be quite appropriate for studio monitoring.
In fact, the Medea was so effective in optimizing what came into it that it minimized the differences between the CD and the two-channel SACD layers of Benjamin Zander's recording of the Mahler Sixth (Telarc SACD-60586). Sure, subtle issues of ambience and placement, and the tonal quality of the winds, still distinguished the two media—but the Medea rendered the CD version of this impressive recording with magnificent power and delicate detail. Boy, would I like to hear the SACD tracks through a DAC as good as the Medea!
Something akin to that is possible by using the 24-bit/96kHz digital output of the CAL CL-20 or Meridian Reference 800 DVD-Audio players. Most impressive was the sound of John Lee Hooker's Mr. Lucky (24/96, Virgin/Classic DAD-1007) and the stereo DVD-A of Leon Russell's Leon Russell (Hi-Res). Of course, I've been enjoying Mr. Lucky for many months, but the Medea gave Hooker's voice even more grip, and the bass incredible clout, without sacrificing clarity. The Russell reissue showed the age of its master tapes (more than 30 years) only in the soft carpet of tape hiss, but that faded from conscious awareness as the electricity of Russell's performances and the momentum of the music swept me up. Presence and impact to spare!
Why don't you pick on someone your own size?
Given the Medea's pedigree and its $9800 price, you'd expect it to be good enough to beat out built-in DACs, and it did indeed do so. But how did it fare against other heavyweight, standalone DACs?
On hand for this shoot-out were the highly praised Musical Fidelity A324 (reviewed in April and June 2002), and the MSB Platinum Plus (review to appear next month). Near the end of my listening sessions, I also received the Mark Levinson No.360S, upgraded from the No.360 I've used for years. All of these devices were excellent and eminently satisfying; none, in isolation, would give a listener cause to think that further improvement was possible. In other words, the differences among them were almost disappearingly small, but, when apparent, always in the Medea's favor.

The archaeology of a Seattle city block from 1880s squatters, Great Northern Railroad workers, and the establishment of Pike Place Market.
Author(s): Alicia Valentino
An inconspicuous city block near today’s Pike Place Market held the remains of a 19th century shantytown, evicted in 1902 to prepare for the Great Northern Railroad tunnel beneath Seattle. Construction monitoring of a modern development yielded the remnants of middens and privies dating as early as the 1880s. Spared from the city’s major regrade projects, photographs, maps, and artifacts demonstrate that this parcel was once part of the dense carpet of "squatter’s cabins" covering the city’s hillsides above the waterfront until it was taken over by the GNRR. Several cabins were spared from demolition and appropriated by workers, accompanied by the construction of a mess hall and bunkhouses. Once the tunnel was completed, the railroad buildings were torn down and the property was partially cleared. This paper covers the history of the property and describes our findings from the remnants of the squatters and railroad workers who lived here.

The Federal Government holds a reception ceremony for COVID-19 vaccines that arrived in the country earlier today.
The reception ceremony was organized and attended by Dr. Osagie Ehanire, Health Minister, Dr. Chikwe Ihekweazu, Director-General of the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control, NCDC, Faisal Shuaib, Executive Officer of the National Primary Health Care Development Agency.
The CEO of NPHCDA had earlier commented that “There is going to be a small ceremony chaired by the Chairman of the PTF on COVID-19 to receive the vaccine at the VIP Protocol section, General Aviation Terminal of Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.
“At the end of the ceremonies to mark the arrival of the vaccines. A few vials of the vaccines would be handed over to the NAFDAC team, which they will analyze over a period of two days (Wednesday, March 3rd and Thursday, March 4th).”
Kemi Filani had earlier reported that almost four million doses of COVID-19 vaccines were shipped to Nigeria through the COVAX Facility. A feat that was achieved via the partnership between CEPI, Gavi, UNICEF, and WHO. were
3.94 million doses of AstraZeneca/Oxford vaccine manufactured by Serum Institute of India arrived in the country from Mumbai around 11:30 am on Tuesday, shipped by COVAX.


A recent story in the CT Mirror described a presentation to reporters a few weeks ago by the Connecticut Education Association (CEA), the largest teachers’ union, in which union leaders attempted to expose the spending practices of charter schools. The problem is that the report the CEA was referencing was deliberately misleading –seeking to villainize charter schools during a tight budget year in which education funding will be a key issue.
For example, the CEA identified the compensation of some charter employees as a problem, comparing the salaries of superintendents to those of charter staff. Indeed, the CT Mirror story notes, few superintendents make over $200,000 –as compared with the higher salaries of some charter leaders. However, the comparison itself is a dramatic oversimplification.
Take, for example, Michael Duggan, Executive Director of Domus. Domus does have two charter schools overseen by Duggan, but it also has eight other programs that he runs. Beyond providing educational opportunities for some of Connecticut’s highest-need students, Domus also provides services to the community and the homeless. Does it even make sense to compare Duggan’s role as leader of this nonprofit to the role of a superintendent?
In another example, CEA Executive Director, Mark Waxenberg, (who himself makes over $200,000 per year, according to the CEA’s Form 990) claims that escalating administrative costs have made charters into “big business in Connecticut.” The CEA report identifies growing management fees at some charters, and argues that growth is disproportionate compared to per pupil expenditures.
But looking again at Domus, we asked them why management fees had seen so much growth. Apparently, the discrepancy in administrative costs between years results from a state request to reclassify some of their line items. The salaries of ten full-time family advocates —who serve as counselors between Domus’ two schools— are now being counted toward administrative costs.
When a report such as the one released by the CEA utterly ignores nuance or context, it isn’t a sound foundation for an honest and reasonable conversation about how to improve the state’s education funding. Instead, take a look at these six principles for improved education funding, agreed to by a coalition of education stakeholders representing varied constituencies. In the interest of full disclosure, my organization is one of the signatories. We have been debating and analyzing and learning in great detail for more than 2 years in pursuit of real solutions.
I have full confidence in Connecticut’s legislators. When they seek to address education funding, they will have to make difficult decisions based on facts, not half-truths or falsehoods. Their success will require them to engage in real dialogues based on accurate information. I encourage all stakeholders to participate.

LONDON — A powerful storm is expected to lash southwestern Britain starting Thursday night, after a month that has brought a series of extreme weather events to the country.
The storm, named Evert, “is forecast to bring unseasonably strong winds and heavy rain to southern parts of the U.K. later today and into Friday,” the Met Office, Britain’s national meteorological service, said on Twitter. Wind gusts of up to 75 miles per hour are expected.
The Met Office’s severe weather warning system is divided into three levels: Yellow for low-level impacts; amber for travel delays, road and rail closures, power cuts, and potential risk to life and property; and red, the most dangerous of all.
An amber wind warning will be in place from Thursday night until Friday morning for much of Cornwall, in southwestern England, as well as the Isles of Scilly off the Cornish coast. Yellow warnings are also in place for the wider southwest, southern Wales and along the southern coast of England.
In 2015, the Met Office and Met Éireann, Ireland’s national meteorological service, began naming storms in an effort to improve communication about them and to raise awareness. Storms are named when they meet the criteria for an amber or red warning level, based on the threat posed by the storm.
Evert is the third named storm to strike Britain this year. In January, Christoph brought wind, rain and flooding across Wales and Manchester, England. The next month, Darcy caused widespread travel disruptions with heavy snowstorms and subfreezing temperatures across the country.
Evert comes after torrential rain caused flash flooding in parts of London twice in recent weeks, most recently on Sunday. A fierce heat wave this month also prompted the Met Office to issue its first-ever extreme heat warning.
Extreme weather events are becoming more common in a warming world. A summer heat wave this month saw Northern Ireland hit its highest temperature on record.
“That’s part of a pattern of our warming climate,” said Dr. Mark McCarthy, a climate information scientist at the Met Office, who added, “The warmer atmosphere in changing climate is also likely to increase the risk of really intense summer rainfall events.”
