Murder of tim mclean5/2/2024 He had, in fact, escaped a treatment facility prior to McLean’s murder, and there was no follow-up to his disappearance despite the fact that he had been admitted specifically for being considered a danger. As the Globe and Mail’s Patrick White pointed out in 2009, the Canadian mental healthcare system failed Li repeatedly before his illness spiraled into a homicidal psychosis. But I’m not sure locking a man away for being sick and throwing away the key is the kind of response that will benefit anyone. I absolutely agree that the Canadian criminal justice system needs to be more responsive to victims of violent crime (or their families, if the victim is no longer living). Their comments smack, not of real concern, but of a desire to see a “bad man” be punished. ![]() With respect to concerns about McLean’s family, I’m pretty sure that 95% of those vocal internet folks probably spent an average of about zero minutes thinking about Tim McLean and his family between Baker/Li’s arrest in 2008 and news of his release last week. Those who oppose Baker’s release cite the feelings of McLean’s family, and/or their personal disbelief that Baker will continue to take his medication without being forced (“Sick people always think they’re getting better and then they stop taking their meds,” etc.). Comments by the public range from the racist (“Why can’t he go have a mental illness in his own country?” ), to the ignorant (“Criminals always get a free pass in this country”, forgetting that technically, Baker is not guilty of a crime and has actually spent a not-insignificant period of time living in institutions or under restrictions since he was arrested), to the just plain extreme (“This is why we need the death penalty”). That being said, I find myself being quite dismayed by some of the online reactions I have read regarding Baker’s full release into free society. There is really no justice to be found for them, and no solace here. In the nine years that have passed since that tragic summer, who knows what McLean (who would have been turning 31 this year) could have gone on to achieve, or what further joys and positive experiences he could have brought to the lives of his family and friends? A young man’s future has been stolen, not only from him but also from those who loved him. Whether legally culpable or not, the fact remains that if not for the actions of Vince Li in 2008, Tim McLean would most likely still be with them. Unsurprisingly, Tim McLean’s family does not support the Board’s decision. Baker poses a significant threat to the safety of the public.” This means that the last remaining limitations on Baker’s freedom (including the monitoring of his compliance with his medication schedule) have been removed and he is now as free as any other Canadian citizen. According to the Board’s decision, “the weight of evidence does not substantiate that Mr. On February 10, Baker was granted an absolute discharge by the Criminal Code Review Board. Since November, Baker has been living on his own in Winnipeg, but has been subject to several conditions, including monitoring to ensure he was taking his medication. This means that legally, Will Baker did not commit a crime, though he did spend the following 8.5 years in psychiatric treatment, with increasing levels of freedoms and privileges as his condition improved and those in charge of his care became increasingly confident that Baker was able to manage his illness and no longer posed a threat to others. Li (who has since changed his name to Will Baker), was arrested, charged, and ultimately deemed Not Criminally Responsible for McLean’s murder due to the severity of his illness at the time and his inability to understand his actions. Li stabbed McLean multiple times with a hunting knife before dismembering him and eating parts of his body. What happened during that horrifying trip has since gone down in infamy: west of Portage la Prairie, Manitoba, Li (suffering from untreated schizophrenia) became convinced that McLean was a demon Li was commanded by God to kill. On July 30, 2008, 41-year-old Vince Li sat down on a Greyhound bus beside Tim McLean, a young man of 22.

He submitted an audition reel and was later offered a spot in the ensemble. “To be doing the same thing on a much bigger scale is very exciting to me.”ĭevroye learned about the auditions for Disney On Ice from a friend in the area who had a relative who skated in the show. “It’s very cool to now be with Disney because I get to be in some of those similar stories that I grew up skating in,” he said. He said performing over the years helped prepare him for his role in Disney On Ice. “I also skate out of a local dance company called the Next Ice Age that runs out of Baltimore, and I met them through the Columbia Figure Skating Club, so I’m very grateful for everything that club has offered me.”Ĭahill said she has seen Devroye grow as a skater over the years.

Goodnote 65/2/2024 ![]() ![]() The app now supports custom page sizes in points. We love seeing this kind of page customisation in a note-taking app. We can customise the background and line colour for our page templates. Page customisation is cooler in Goodnotes 6. Just when we had become used to the old one, they brought an even weirder one. Goodnotes always has the weirdest-looking zoom tool. The developers have also changed the location of the zoom tool as well as how it looks. How do you feel about the new tabs at the top? They look good, don’t they? The switch, though, had me accidentally close some notebooks when I was trying to go back to the homepage. Having experienced what extreme minimalism can do to an app ( with Notability 14), we’re very grateful that Goodnotes is not minimalist. ![]() I guess we must now accept that Goodnotes will probably not look minimalist. Do you see yourself using these customisation options? I mean, we love options, but do we really need them for our folders? Workspace We can also add some icons to make them look cute. But they are pretty, aren’t they? We can now customise our folders to change their colour from a few presets. It’s difficult to appreciate them considering how much the upgrade is costing. Our thumbnails look different in Goodnotes 6. We look forward to having our folders on the side to easily access our documents because we’re tired of digging through layers and levels of folders to get to our notes. We hope this is the first step the developers are taking towards changing the app’s organisation. They also moved the shop to the sidebar, which makes it more accessible. They just moved the bottom toolbar from GoodNotes 5 to the side. But we soon learnt that it wasn’t a new way to organise our notes. We were happy to see the sidebar and even happier that we could toggle it. Fortunately for me, I am a note-taker at heart, and there are plenty of amazing, non-subscription note-taking apps. With the new subscription trend, I have decided to simply not use subscription apps as long as there are one-time purchase options available. $29.99 is a lot of money, and any subscription is a lot of money. The rest of us, unless you have a very fat pocket, are miserable. Honestly, the only people smiling at the moment are the developers at Goodnotes. The new logo is kind of cute with that half-incomplete smile. Then I went ahead and picked three notebooks that I wanted to edit. I chose to try my luck with the free version of Goodnotes, instead. iPads are quickly becoming very expensive to own. That’s how ridiculous these prices are!īut to appreciate their new pricing, we had to wait to see the offer we got after the free trial. So, we settled for the free trial to cover this update. Even their impressive demo video wasn’t convincing enough for us to pay for this upgrade (and we do this for a living). The only bright side to all this madness is that we have the option to keep using GoodNotes 5, which we strongly recommend.Īfter updating to Goodnotes 6, I stared at these pricing options for what felt like hours. The Goodnotes developers chose not to annoy new users but have no problem exploiting older and loyal ones. It seems we’re paying for all the four and a half years of upgrade inactivity from the Goodnotes team. But old Goodnotes users-yes, those of us who have been using the app for years-qualify for only 25% off the subscription for the first year and 20% off the one-time purchase. If you recently bought Goodnotes 5, you will get a 100% discount for the subscription upgrade. Now, suppose you go for the yearly subscription $9.99/year is cheaper than Notability, which goes for $14.99/year for its regular price. You won’t need to buy all of them because they all have free versions you can try before you spend any money on them. $29.99 will buy you quite a number of note-taking apps if you haven’t chosen one yet:Ĭhances are, you will definitely find an app that works for you, from that list. Goodnotes 6 is the most expensive upgrade you’ll ever make for an app version (if you prefer one-time payments). We’ve always paid for version updates in Goodnotes, but nothing this crazy. Goodnotes 6 comes more than four and a half years after GoodNotes 5. So, is Goodnotes a web app now? The developers should let us edit our user names for the Goodnotes account. This is a typical characteristic of web apps. So we were very unhappy to see this in Goodnotes 6. Weird! Goodnotes accountĪs a general rule, we avoid note-taking apps that require us to create accounts. Then, now, they upgraded their app versions within seven days of each other. They both released social media platforms at about the same time a few years back. Notability and Goodnotes spy on each other somehow because these two apps always have weird coincidences. ![]() If the application is still not accepting the activation key, then you need to contact Stellar technical support for further assistance (keep your order number handy while contacting technical support).

Metas leblankas marina pearl leblanc5/2/2024 ![]() Paul posed a question, inquiring, “You’re a prominent figure in the industry, which could potentially challenge some men’s egos if their partner achieves greater success. When he isnt busy starring in record-breaking sitcoms, Matt LeBlanc is a doting father to his daughter Marina Pearl. The second I laid eyes on her, I was in love, and I had never felt that way before. According to the Daily Telegraph, he said, I remember when my daughter, Marina, was born. Within the period of birth, it was found that Marina had a medical condition of cortical dysplasia. Marina Pearl LeBlanc is a celebrity child from the United States. Their daughter, Marina Pearl LeBlanc, was born in 2004. When Marina Pearl LeBlancs parents, Matt and Melissa spent two years in marriage, she was born in the show business family on 8th February 2004. He gained international attention for his depiction of Joey Tribbiani on the NBC comedy Friends and its spin. Hence, Matt enjoys and celebrates his birthday on July 25 every year. The TV star welcomed Marina in 2004 with his then-wife Melissa McKnight. Matt LeBlanc may be famous for playing Joey Tribbiani on Friends, but he considers being a father to his daughter, Marina Pearl LeBlanc, his greatest role. ![]() While talking about various topics on the podcast IMPAULSIVE, Ripley also shares some details about her soon-to-be husband, Adams. That may well have been the case with LeBlanc and McKnight. He is a 57-year-old famous American actor born in Newton, Massachusetts, United States on July 25, 1967.

It’s so amazing on the other side of things but it also takes a lot outta you. The relationship between Matt and his 19-year-old daughter is incredibly strong, and he has called her the best thing to ever happen to him. At the same time, I also know what goes into this profession how hard it is, and how taxing it is on your body and your mind and I don’t know if I want that for my kids or not. American actor Matt LeBlanc’s sole biological child with his first wife is Marina Pearl LeBlanc (born February 8, 2004). I don’t know I feel like I would love that just to keep the name going and have that massive family line in hopefully WWE. A post shared by Buddy Matthews was then asked if she wanted her kids to be legacy wrestlers, to which she replied “Umm, yes and no. Falling wedge patten5/2/2024 ![]() ![]() It’s a powerful trading platform that integrates with most major brokers. When it comes to charts, StocksToTrade is first on my list. A breakout from the upper trend line signals a potential bullish move, while a breakout from the lower trend line indicates a possible bearish move. This is crucial for setting up your trade. The first step is to identify the breakout direction. Want to add more depth to your trading toolbox? Check out my article on the Expanding Wedge Pattern. It’s especially useful when you’re looking for patterns that indicate an increase in volatility. The Expanding Wedge Pattern is another tool that can help you understand market volatility and potential breakout directions. Wedge Patterns are great for identifying breakout directions, but they’re not the only game in town. If you’re seeking alternatives to Wedge Patterns for trading strategies, pay attention. Trading Wedge Patterns involves understanding the breakout direction, setting entry and exit points, and managing risk. Traders often look for an upside breakout when they identify a Falling Wedge. This pattern is formed when the market consolidates while making lower lows and lower highs. The Falling Wedge is typically bullish and often appears in uptrends. When you spot this pattern, prepare for a potential downside breakout. It’s formed when the price consolidates between upward sloping support and resistance lines. Rising Wedge PatternĪ Rising Wedge is generally considered bearish and is usually found in downtrends. Ready to broaden your technical analysis skills? Dive into my detailed guide on the Rectangle Pattern. The more patterns you’re familiar with, the more versatile your trading strategy becomes.

Both serve as indicators for future price action but differ in their formation and what they signify. There are two main types of Wedge Patterns: the Rising Wedge and the Falling Wedge. ![]() The breakout direction, either to the upside or downside, gives traders an edge in predicting the next move. The pattern is identified by a series of highs and lows that contract into a narrower range, forming the shape of a wedge.
