News from NL, Canada, 22 June

The search area for the missing sub has been doubled, as more boats and underwater vehicles join the search operation.

The sub is likely to be running low on oxygen, but how long it lasts depends on various factors.

The crew's fitness and the sub's conditions will determine how long they can survive as oxygen supplies dwindle.

2. Applications for the provincial home heating supplement program are now open for residents who heat their homes with furnace or stove oil.

The program received almost 28,000 applications last year.

The supplement amount varies between $200 and $500.

3. The Auditor General's report has found that the provincial government's management of loans, grants, and investments in business and innovation was ripe for fraud and overpayments.

The failures were more pronounced during the pandemic, with even less oversight, and there was no plan to recoup the ill-gotten money or overpayments.

The province plans to implement the audit's recommendations but has decided against reviewing all COVID business payouts.

4. SIRT-NL has engaged Interpol to locate the family of a man who was shot and killed at Regatta Plaza in St. John's on June 12, as his next of kin have not been notified.

The deceased has been identified as Omar Abdul Gassim Mohammed, who was wanted by police on outstanding warrants.

SIRT-NL has gathered exhibits, obtained video footage, and conducted interviews with over 30 people as part of their ongoing investigation, with a full report to be released at the end of the investigation.

Now now now! Ivan and Frankie! I saw it and I'm in! Could they? Might they become an item? Hmm? :3c One for us to kiss and hug and cuddle and smooch and cradle and put on our desks and admire and giggle and twirl our hair and kick our feet and shake the bars of our little cages? Idk what kind of trouble Frankie's ex-husband is, what danger he poses to her and others that might get in his way, but I'm interested in this mess now! And Ivan is great at solving messes lol And please, if Ivanesca sails, make it so that Bruno finds out about them! Maybe bc Jacob slips about them during one of their convos and he gets even more miserable and depressed! Oh, I'm such a messy bitch. Imagine if Jacob and Jude gossip about each other's dads? "I accidentally told him your dad is going out with Frankie..." "HUH?" "I know. But he... he just sat there like a stone and stared at me for a while. Then said 'he deserves to be happy.' and that was that." And in the following weeks we follow Jude as he fights the demons and the shadow people and the bloodsucking monsters to decide whether or not he should tell Ivan that that happened lol But seriously, idk what you're gonna do with him. He chose to go back to that life but I'm done with the mafia story. Sorry, but I am. I'd be happy if Bruno only showed up to talk with Jacob when he goes to visit him to vent about his teenage life, but I know that won't be just that, so... good luck sorting that guy out and how you'll handle the new side of this mafia again. Personally, I'd just dip Bruno headfirst in boiling oil. Yes, he's handsome. Yes, the most handsome of all your characters. None can hold a candle to him. Your people can fight this all they want, but even me, his official hater, know it's a FACT. And it's too bad because he's trash. So, I guess... Stay strong, Becca. Or consider the boiling oil.

this ask is so chaotic i LOVE it skjkjs... HMMMMMMM you're not the only one intrigued by Frankie's mess tho! what on earth is going on with that woman, her ex and her mess?! i'm sure we'll find out, right? girls night with some gossip WHEN Cookie?! 👀

i'm sure Bruno would find out tho right? i bet Jude and Jacob DO talk about their dad's now n then and ofc Jude will remember much more about Bruno than Pixie and i reckon B himself is miserable enough to ask Jacob for the deets don't you think?? 😅 idk what i'm gonna do with Bruno tbh.. he's just chillin' as a mobster in Oasis Springs for now ig and who knows what that really entails, Jacob usually goes to see him a couple times a month but ofc B is never working when he sees his son, i wonder how much Jacob rlly knows about his "work"?? 🤔

cooking is a sacred activity and to rush it and taint it with anger and stress is a grave sin that should be punishable by death. btw. if you didnt know

Convicted killer Brian Doyle has been granted more freedom by the National Parole Board despite concerns over his evasive answers during the hearing.

Doyle had previously allowed an innocent man to go to jail for his crime and had broken release conditions on his first attempt at parole.

The victim's son expressed concern for the community where Doyle may end up and believes he should be under stricter watch.

2. The skyline in Placentia Bay, NL looks a little different these days following the completion of the slip form operation on the West White Rose project.

This added 92.35 metres to the existing project structure, bringing it to a height of 139.2 metres. The slip form took 69 days, working 24/7, and used 8,000 cubic metres of concrete – the equivalent of three Olympic sized swimming pools!

The trio was identified by the public and alleged to have been involved in five break-ins in a week.

Dominick Igloliorte faces multiple charges including break and enter, theft, and mischief, while the other two face charges of break and enter and breach of probation, and theft and mischief.

4. Water bomber pilots in Newfoundland and Labrador are facing a staffing crunch with the lowest staffing levels in the province's history.

The shortage of pilots is having far-reaching impacts as neighbouring provinces rely on their assistance during disasters.

Despite government accolades, the pilots are urging politicians to address the staffing issue, as they currently only have enough pilots to operate on a full-time basis with just three pilots.

5. The regulated price of gas has decreased by up to 5.2 cents a litre and there is a break on diesel, furnace oil, and propane in Newfoundland.

6. The Bank of Canada has raised its key lending rate by 0.25 percentage points.

7. Smoke from wildfires in Canada has caused air quality alerts across multiple US states, highlighting the threat of harmful microscopic particles to people's health even hundreds of miles away from fire sites.

Western Canada's dozens of fires have prompted some oil production to be curtailed, impacting the region's economy.

8. The Newfoundland and Labrador Housing Corp. has issued a request for proposals for the creation of new affordable homes in the province’s rental market.

9. The Folk Arts Society has announced the lineup for this year's Music @ Concert Series in St. John's, featuring 16 concerts across three venues over three months.

being a weird little freak in front of my roommate is so entertaining because she truly seems unwilling to judge. she’ll give me a weird look and then just politely ignore it and go on talking to me like i’m a normal human being. i want to see how far i can push her

i was taking this huge excercise bike downstairs w my mom yesterday and she got so angry... she went on a rant abt how men design objects like morons and they are focused on building the most powerful machine and making it as big and hulking as possible for maximum energy output and then when she was cleaning it she got mad again bc the pedals had these intricate patterning to help w friction and she was just like yes when you are biking like a maniac in your room you need all this friction otherwise your foot will slip and you will kick yourself in the nose bc you are biking at 100km/h in your living room bc this this whole thing was designed by an idiot who does not think about the object needing some cleaning ever. THEN she was like telling me well at least once your apartment is done you will never have to rely on a man in your life bc you are a lesbian and its good bc men never do any work and she said it bc she was mad at my brother and dad refusing to help lmao... it was just very funny but also this is the feminist discourse we need (lets think about the design of most remodeling tools and excercise equipment and how much of a pain it is to assemble or do the work bc the tool itself is just too big and heavy for a regular woman to handle.... as in its awkward to hold if you are small and have small hands)

Month 9, day 18

Knell has both sets of wings now :)

Gonna be fun figuring out how I want to layer them this time :D And I might have an idea for a redesigned spearhead, too! :D Emphasis on "might," though, it hasn't solidified into a picture in my head, just "base it on a hummingbird since Knell is hummingbird themed!"

Might also have to redo her belt links since those are based on starlings, not hummingbirds. Then again I might not, because I'm super proud of that belt, and you can barely even see it! XD

[supercantaloupe]
