Members of the Saskatchewan RCMP underwater recovery team are searching the waters around the pier at Regina Beach, looking for new evidence in the homicide case of Misha Pavelick.
Pavelick, of Regina, was fatally stabbed at an outdoor party near Regina Beach on May 21, 2006. He was 19 years old. Fifteen years later, police have yet to make an arrest.
“We can say that new information and new tips have been brought forward to police in the last several weeks,” said Mandy Maier, Saskatchewan RCMP spokesperson.
Amanda Hall was on top of a mountain in Tibet when inspiration struck.
“I saw a Tibetan monk reach into his robe and pull out an iPhone,” Hall told the
Calgary Eyeopener [CBC radio programme].
“If there’s an iPhone at the top of a mountain in Tibet, where isn’t there an iPhone on this planet? And then it just got me thinking about batteries and battery technology and energy and how we store that energy.”
On her return to Calgary, the accomplished geophysicist began looking into a better, greener way to mine lithium the essential ingredient in lithium-ion batteries, which power electric cars and smartphones.
