Harry Kopyto, well-known legal activist, is back fighting the Law Society of Upper Canada (LSUC), this time over the lawyer-controlled Society's newly acquired powers to regulate the paralegal profession.
Building on a swell of support for better regulation of the paralegal profession, the Ontario government passed the Access to Justice Act, 2006 (also known as Bill 14). The Act grants the Law Society -- a body comprised of lawyers traditionally tasked with governing themselves -- the formal authority for licensing paralegals. It also limits the scope of legal activities a paralegal can engage in, such as barring them from Family Court proceedings, and preventing them from doing a range of tasks related to real estate work, wills, and undefended divorces.
Despite the broad-based support for regulating paralegals (including from Kopyto himself), many were concerned that the regulation of one profession by its competing cousin could lead to a conflict of interest. Indeed, two seminal investigations into the matter warned against the option of regulating paralegals through the Law Society.
In 1990, the Ianni Task Force (headed by the late Professor Ron Ianni; then President of the University of Western Ontario) recommended that paralegals be regulated within the provincial Ministry of Consumer and Commercial Relations.
A decade later, then Superior Court Justice, Honourable Peter Cory emphasized in his report "that it is of fundamental importance that paralegals be independent of both the Law Society of Upper Canada and the province of Ontario." The "degree of antipathy" Cory uncovered by members of legal organizations towards the work of paralegals was so acute that he went on to recommend that "the Law Society should not be in a position to direct the affairs of the paralegals."
The Law Society, in its July 2000 response to the "Cory Report" rebutted his findings. Contrary to Cory's concern for both public protection and access to justice issues in devising a framework for regulating paralegals, the Society argued that such regulations (including the scope of paralegal practice) "should be resolved having regard only to the protection of the public." This, they argued, was in part due to the lack of any empirical evidence of Ontarians being denied access to justice in the first place.
Perhaps more importantly, the LSUC posited that substituting a lawyer with a paralegal would render clients without "any access to justice at all," for "[n]o amount of education and training short of that undertaken by individuals who later qualify to become lawyers [could] permit a paralegal to bring to a client's problem the knowledge, skills and abilities of a lawyer."
Come 2004, and with little progress on the self-regulation front, then Attorney General Michael Bryant (himself a lawyer) decided the time was ripe to make a move. The paralegal profession needed regulation and as far as Bryant and the Ontario Liberal Party were concerned, the Law Society was the appropriate body for doing so.
While the likes of the Paralegal Society of Canada and Professional Paralegal Association of Ontario (PPAO) formally opposed the decision, the latter's executive ultimately endorsed the move (and in doing so, worked closely with LSUC to facilitate the process). Various other stakeholders representing the public and private sector, as well as marginalised communities were similarly opposed. This included the likes of the Canadian Bankers Association, OPSEU (the Ontario Public Employees Union) and DAWN (the Disabled Women's Network Ontario). The bill was also formally opposed in the legislature by the provincial NDP.
Despite coming into law in 2007, the regulation of paralegals by lawyers has also raised the eyebrow of the Federal Competition Bureau. In January 2007, the Bureau cited anti-competitive concerns in a letter to Paul Dray, then President of the Professional Paralegal Association of Ontario (PPAO) and the current Chair of the Law Society's Paralegal Standing Committee. Similar concerns were raised in a December 2007 study targeting a group of self-regulated professionals, including lawyers. On the Law Society takeover of paralegal licensing, the study argued that such a regulatory structure would restrict the public's alternatives for legal services and place such law societies in a conflict of interest situation.
Notably, Dray now features in the latest skirmish with Kopyto.
As one of the members of the three-person panel assessing Kopyto's request for disclosure (and likely to hear the full case over his license application to be grandfathered as a paralegal), Kopyto is calling for Dray to step down.
The call is in part based on Dray's previous role as PPAO President, where he was a self-described leader of the proposed regulation under the Law Society. Kopyto alleges further that Dray was "the Society's inside man" who orchestrated a "backroom deal amongst the PPAO executive" at the very same time his membership was voting unanimously in favour of self-regulation. As noted above, Dray now sits as the Chair of the Law Society's Paralegal Standing Committee (where he is one of three former police officers out of the five paralegal represented).
With Kopyto's disclosure request including Dray's own personal correspondence and records on the matter, he is arguing that allowing Dray to remain on the panel presents a clear and significant conflict of interest.
The broader disclosure request, which is the focus of the upcoming Dec. 21 hearing at Osgoode Hall, revolves around whether the Law Society must provide Kopyto with a range of documents he alleges are in their possession that he believes are essential to his challenge of the regulation (and more generally for exonerating him from the allegations against him). The Law Society has indicated that it will only provide him with those documents on which they intend to rely.
Kopyto and the Law Society are old sparring partners. Back in the mid-1980s, Kopyto was found guilty of an antiquated form of contempt law -- Scandalizing the Court -- and ordered to apologize for a statement to a Globe and Mail reporter suggesting court bias for protecting the police. "The courts and the RCMP" said Kopyto, "are sticking so close together you'd think they were put together with Krazy Glue."
The so-called "Krazy Glue" incident referred to the court's role in an earlier case where Kopyto pursued charges against two RCMP officers who admitted their engagement in criminal conduct against a legitimate socialist group in the 1970s before a Royal Commission. His appeal of the contempt decision abolished the law he was charged under and resulted in strengthening the right of the public to criticize the courts.
Ultimately however, the Law Society won that battle, successfully having Kopyto disbarred from being a lawyer in 1989 for allegedly overbilling Legal Aid Ontario. The case was pioneering however for being the first to have a written dissent. Bencher Thomas J. P. Carey cited being so "fundamentally in disagreement with the majority in Convocation, as well as the Discipline Committee" that he felt compelled to put his reasons in writing.
Supporting Carey's view that there was no basis for the Society's initial claims of fraud, it is notable that the Legal Aid Plan never asked Kopyto to return any of the funds paid to him on the basis of his "inaccurate accounts." On the contrary, unrelated funds owing to Kopyto, which were frozen during the disbarment case were eventually paid to him in full.
The current constitutional challenge to the Law Society's takeover of the paralegal reaches far beyond Kopyto's story however. The monopolization of the governance of legal services by the Law Society represents a real danger to equality in access to justice for Ontarians and in particular the poor. The pre-holiday fireworks are bound to fly once again, when Kopyto presses his case on Dec. 21 at 9:30 a.m. at Osgoode Hall.
David Primack, as member of the Harry Kopyto Defence Committee has authored the above in his personal capacity.

Topic Page: War in Afghanistan (2001–present)
The military campaign that began in Oct 2001, when US and British forces attacked Afghanistan in an attempt to destroy the terrorist network of Osama bin Laden and to bring down the fundamentalist Taliban regime. It was provoked by the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington on Sept 11, in which several thousand people (including about 60 Britons) perished.
US-led military action against Afghanistan beginning 7 October 2001. This first strike in the war on terror followed the refusal of the Taliban regime to surrender Saudi-born terrorist Osama bin Laden, the leader of the al-Qaeda terrorist network responsible for the attacks on New York City and Washington, DC, on 11 September 2001. The Taliban regime was deposed and replaced in December 2001 by by a democratic Islamic Republic of Afghanistan under a United Nations-endorsed interim administration, headed by Hamid Karzai. Afghanistan held its first national presidential elections on 9 October 2004, with Karzai elected. The government's authority beyond the capital, Kabul, began slowly to improve, but there remained security concerns across the country, with Taliban insurgency activity continuing and increasing from 2006. Reconstruction depended heavily on international aid.
In December 2009, US President Barack Obama announced a 'surge' in US troop numbers in Afghanistan from 44,000 to 84,000 in an effort to break the insurgency, and set a date of 2014 for withdrawal of US forces. By spring 2011, the US was spending $6.7 billion a month on its mission in Afghanistan and in June 2011 President Obama announced that 33,000 US troops would be withdrawn from the country by the summer of 2012. As of September 2011 the Afghanistan War had claimed the lives of around 38,000 Taliban fighters, 14,000 anti-Taliban coalition fighters, and around 30,000 civilians.
Build up to military action On 17 September 2001, Pakistan delivered a US ultimatum to the Taliban that they should hand over bin Laden or face massive retaliation by the USA and its allies. Taliban mullahs (clerics) rejected the US demand. On 24 September, US president George W Bush announced a freeze on the financial assets of bin Laden and more than two dozen suspected terrorists and their organizations. The next day Saudi Arabia cut off diplomatic relations with the already isolated Taliban regime and thousands fled Kabul for the Pakistani border, fearing imminent US air strikes. In addition to US forces deployed for the campaign, the UK contributed 4,200 ground troops. Other European countries also agreed to send military personnel: France offered 2,000 troops, Germany 3,900, and Italy 2,700. Australia subsequently also committed 1,550 of its forces.
Strikes begin On 7 October 2001, assisted by the UK and using bases in Tajikistan and Uzbekistan, the US began the 'Operation Enduring Freedom' military offensive in Afghanistan. Night- and day-time strikes, using bombers and cruise missiles, hit targets associated with Taliban and al-Qaeda, including terrorist training camps, air defences, and communication facilities. After a week of strikes on the cities of Kabul, Kandahar, and Jalalabad, the Taliban offered to hand over bin Laden to a third party, but Bush rejected any negotiation and the bombing continued. Muslims around the world reacted angrily to the attacks, taking to the streets and burning US flags. Anti-US riots also took place across Pakistan, the USA's key diplomatic ally. However, on 4 November the head of the 22-nation Arab League dismissed an appeal by bin Laden for Muslims to join a jihad (holy war) against the West.
The air strikes were coordinated with the provision of military assistance to the Afghan opposition forces, the 15,000-strong Northern Alliance, a largely ethnic Tajik and Uzbek body backed by Russia and Iran that had been battling with the Taliban for five years. The Northern Alliance was provided with Russian weapons and military advice from US special forces. On 9 November the Northern Alliance captured the strategic northern town of Mazār-e-Sharīf. Alliance forces captured the Afghan capital Kabul on 13 November, and the city of Jalalabad a day later. Burhanuddin Rabbani, the country's exiled former leader, was once again declared president, as Taliban troops retreated to the southern stronghold of Kandahar. However, Kandahar fell on 8 December.
By late November, a large part of the 50,000-strong Taliban army was surrounded in the northern town of Kunduz, and forced to surrender. The Taliban retained control over areas in the Pathan (or Pashtun) south, but many of its leaders, including bin Laden, had fled to mountain retreats. US aircraft kept up their bombardment of the Tora Bora region of eastern Afghanistan in a bid to find bin Laden, and the reward for his capture was raised to US$25 million.
On 4 December rival Afghan ethnic groups, meeting in Bonn, Germany, under UN supervision, agreed on a blueprint for a new Afghan government. Hamid Karzai, a Pathan chief, would lead an interim administration in which members of the mainly Tajik and Uzbek Northern Alliance would hold the three principal posts of foreign minister, defence minister, and interior minister. This administration was inaugurated on 22 December. However, Abdul Rashid Dostum, the chief Uzbek warlord, said that he would not work with the new administration.
A UN-mandated, international security assistance force (ISAF), initially led by the UK and designed to provide security in Kabul, was gradually built up to a strength of 4,000–5,000 in January 2002. Turkey and Bulgaria, both Muslim countries, would join other European countries in providing troops to support the new interim Afghan government. The USA announced that it intended to build a long-term base in Kyrgyzstan. On 10 January, US forces took prisoner 364 men said to be members of the Taliban or al-Qaeda, and flew them to a camp in the US Naval base at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, for interrogation. There was widespread international concern over the treatment of the prisoners.
Political consolidation and economic reconstruction In June 2002, a loya jirga (grand tribal council) of around 1,500 delegates from across Afghanistan convened in Kabul to approve a new government. Hamid Karzai, the leader of the interim administration, was elected as president for 18 months. The former monarch, Muhammad Zahir Shah, deposed in 1973, meanwhile renounced any political role in the new administration. Despite the acceptance of a new government, the grand council proceedings exposed deep regional and tribal divisions. The continuing threat to Karzai's government was underlined as the president narrowly survived an assassination attempt in September in Kandahar, and a car bomb exploded in Kabul, killing at least 25 people. On 11 August 2003, the ISAF was placed under the strategic command of NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization). It was the western alliance's first ground mission outside Europe. However, two days later Afghanistan suffered its most violent day in several months, leaving at least 64 people dead in a series of incidents.
In 2004, there was further political progress and an improvement in security. A new national constitution was adopted on 4 January, paving the way for democratic elections and establishing an Islamic republic. Nine months later, on 9 October, Afghanistan held its first national presidential elections. Karzai was declared the official winner with about 55% of the vote and inaugurated on 9 December. Further elections, at parliamentary and local level, were planned for spring 2005. To enhance security, Karzai's government continued to work closely with the ISAF, which was authorized by the UN Security Council since October 2003 to operate beyond Kabul in the form of joint civilian-military Provincial Reconstruction Teams (PRTs). The core of an Afghan national army and police force was also being trained.
To help rebuild Afghanistan economically, rich donor countries pledged $4.5 billion in January 2002. At an international conference in Berlin, Germany, in March–April 2004, donors pledged a further $4.5 billion over the next year and a total of $8.2 billion over three years.

OWINGS MILLS, Md. – Stevenson University senior Michael Byrd totaled 16 points, seven rebounds and four assists in his final home game, but Alvernia University proved to be too much as the Crusaders posted a 94-77 MAC Commonwealth men's basketball victory Tuesday night at Owings Mills Gymnasium.
Byrd, the lone senior honored in Senior Night ceremonies prior to the game, finished 8-9 at the free throw line. He also totaled two steals and a blocked shot. Freshman Cameron Hayes was the other player in double figures for Stevenson (4-20, 2-13 MAC Commonwealth), pouring in a career-high 31 points on 12-19 shooting for his sixth straight game in double figures. Hayes also corralled six rebounds.
Alvernia (15-9, 9-6 MAC Commonwealth) was led by 33 points by Marquis Marshall.
Stevenson and Alvernia were knotted 11-11 five minutes into the game following a layup by Byrd before back-to-back threes by Alex Shippen put the Crusaders on top 17-11. The guests pushed the lead to nine, 24-15, with just under 12 minutes left before intermission, but a basket by Hayes made it 24-18 with 10:08 left. Leading 29-23, Alvernia closed the half on a 16-8 run and took a 45-31 lead into the locker room.
The Mustangs got the lead down to 12 early in the second half before Alvernia gradually pulled away, taking a 67-47 lead with 11:37 remaining. Stevenson used a 7-0 run capped by a conventional three-point play by Hayes to whittle the lead to 13 at the 10:20 mark. The Crusaders answered with a 10-3 spurt to push the lead back to 20 with 6:30 on the clock.
Stevenson made one final run, outscoring Alvernia 9-1 over a span of 2:22 to slash the lead to 12, 78-66. The run was capped by a steal and layup by Byrd in which he was fouled and turned into a three-point play. The hosts pulled within a dozen one more time, but that would be as close as they would come.
Alvernia shot 55.2% in the first half and 50.8% for the game while limiting Stevenson to 43.8% shooting, though the Mustangs were 16-32 from the floor over the final 20 minutes. The Crusaders knocked down 12 of their 23 three-point attempts, while the hosts were just 3-20 behind the arc. Alvernia went 20-28 at the free throw line while Stevenson was 18-22, and the Mustangs had a 36-35 rebound advantage. The Mustangs generated a 19-9 lead in second chance points.
Stevenson closes out the season Saturday afternoon when it travels to league-leading Lycoming College for a 3:00 contest.
Head Coach Gary Stewart talks about the team's game with Alvernia on Senior Night.

Work Study
Student Employment
Rowan College at Burlington County Work Study Policy
Federal and Institutional Work Study allow students to work on and off campus to earn money to pay for college expenses. The work study programs are funded by Rowan College at Burlington County and the United States Department of Education.
Rowan College at Burlington County administers this program in accordance with the laws, federal regulations, and instructions issued by, or on behalf of, the Department of Education, as well as its own institutional policies.
Rowan College at Burlington County's Federal Work Study Program is administered without regard to race, creed, color, sex, or national or ethnic origin.
Federal Work Study (FWS) - Students who demonstrate financial need may be awarded Federal Work Study (FWS). Participation in the program also depends on the annual allocation the college receives from the U.S. Department of Education. FWS is available to degree-seeking students enrolled in at least six credits and who show financial need. In compliance with Federal Work Study requirements, at least 7% of Federal Work Study funds must be used to support student work study placements in off-campus community service organizations. The Community Service Program is an opportunity for students to work in a not-for-profit organization while earning their Federal Work Study money. Work study positions are available in areas such as health care, education, literacy, math tutors, and social services.
Institutional Work Study (IWS-9140) - Students who do not demonstrate financial need may work under Institutional Work Study. IWS-9140 is dependent on whether or not the department has funding.
FWS and IWS students cannot work over 25 hours per week but generally work an average of 12 - 15 hours. Students may not work over 8 hours in any one day. Hourly wages must not be less than the federal minimum wage.
The purpose of Rowan College at Burlington County's Work Study program is to expand part-time employment opportunities for students who need additional financial resources to pursue a college education. Your work study award contributes more than financial assistance for your college education. It offers a chance to receive an education plus valuable work experience. In increasingly competitive job markets, employers want applicants who are qualified by work as well as academic experience.
Benefits of the RCBC Work Study Program:
- Practical training and experience in your chosen field
- A positive job experience to help identify career objectives
- An impressive resume and recommendations from former employers
- Development of time-management skills
- Flexible hours to work around your class schedule
- Submission of complete and verified Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
- Half-time (6 credits) enrollment in a degree-seeking program
- Must be making Satisfactory Academic Progress
Each term students must be making Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) in order to maintain eligibility for work study. The RCBC Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy is available on the RCBC website at www.rcbc.edu/financialaid. Students who fail to meet any of the Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) standards are ineligible for Federal and Institutional Work Study.
Applying for a Work Study Position
- Submit your FAFSA. On-line application is available at www.fafsa.gov. Students must have a current and complete FAFSA on file with the RCBC Financial Aid Office. Allow several weeks for the completion of the FAFSA. Students who wish to continue as FWS employees must reapply annually.
- Meet with Career Services Department located on both Pemberton and Mt. Laurel campuses.
- Log on to our Career Service Website for requirements and information.
- Provide employer with an enrollment schedule each term. It is against Federal Regulations and Institutional policy for students to work during their regularly scheduled classes.
Students must work to earn a work study award. A work study award is not a guarantee of a job or earnings totaling the work study award. Students may only earn up to the amount of the work study award. The Federal Work Study award amount varies from year to year.
A work study award may be made for fall and/or spring term(s). Summer awards for work will be based solely on if there is FWS or 9140 funding. IWS is dependent on whether or not the department has funding.
The number of hours of work per week varies from job to job; however, the maximum hours students may work is 25 hours per week during fall and spring terms and 30 hours per week during the summer term.
The hourly pay rate varies depending on the skill level. The time sheet must be signed by the department supervisor and submitted to the Financial Aid Office by a RCBC employee.
Student employees are paid on the 15th and the last day of the month based on the number of hours reported on their time sheets.
Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday 8:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.
Wednesday Noon - 8:00 p.m.

The Works of Norman McLaren
Before Kraftwerk or Atari there was Norman McLaren. Norman McLaren was born in 1914 in Stirling, Scotland. McLaren attended the Glasgow School of Art for set design. His films are recognizable for his experimental work with image and sound. Not having easy access to a camera, McLaren experimented with his filmmaking by scratching, painting and melting the film stock itself. He also developed his own revolutionary techniques for combining and synchronizing animation with music.
The soundtracks that McLaren used in his films were often of his own making. Although composed as early as the 1940's and right through to the 1970's, similar scores would not make their way into the mainstream until the 1980's. McLaren likely had to create his own sound-makers, machines, and instruments long before musicians like the Nihilist Spasm Band, Johnny Greenwood or Aphex Twin would. A mere still image from one of McLaren's many short films brings to mind the works of Paul Rand or Peter Saville and demonstrates both his interest in and his significant influence on graphic design. In 1941 McLaren moved to Canada to work for the National Film Board. Having produced over 60 movies, his most famous film Neighbors (1952) won an Academy Award and in 1968 McLaren was awarded the Officer of the Order of Canada. McLaren passed away in 1987. To honor McLaren's genius, the National Film Board named both their head office in Montreal as well as a district in the Montreal borough of St.Laurent after him.Dots-1940

I think they got the Alternator and Flatline skins mixed up :D
Agreed. The Flatline currently has no place in the game.
Every other gun is viable in its own way with their own attachments. The Flatline however is just a strange gun to come across. It's an AR but you can only give it an extended mag, stock, and scope, and once you have all three, you realize you're better off just giving the attachments to someone else.
Early game its useful if the enemy has a Moz and cant aim or if they don't have a gun and are just running away.
I'd even consider slapping a bay at the end of it and having it do increased melee damage lmao anything to get me from trading it with the first gun I see
July - last edited July
@iBlockHeadDepends on the range to be honest mate. You're likely to score exactly the amount of headshots you need to win with the Flatline in its current form by hipfiring at most of the ranges you'll find in something like a Skulltown drop. Whilst being able to keep your run speed so people can't get around the corner and away from you easily.
Its still not a gun I'll carry through endgame, but early game and for close range there's absolutely nothing wrong with it.
Opinions are like a-holes though, eh?
July - last edited October
What I am most upset about is the fact, for a moment, I thought the Flatline was better than the r301. At the beginning of season 2, the Flatline is all I used, but one day all I could find was the r301 and instantly I saw why the r301 is the king of guns in Apex legends. I slaughtered my way through the map. Game after game I was unstoppable with the r301. Even naked the r301 slaughters. The r301 can handle any situation. I can firmly say the r301 is the best gun in Apex Legends.
When I pick up an r301, I already know I will win.

The Flatline damage output is so insane. It can shred a purple/gold armored guy whit half of magazine.
If you can handle the recoil and aim for the head, it's simply insane.
It can definitly contest R99 at mid-close range.
July - last edited July
It is okay as a close range weapon.
July - last edited July
It shouldn't even need a barrel stabilizer. The rear loaded/firing style of this gun, with the longest barrel of all the weapons, means that it should be intrinsically more stable than the rest. That is exactly why weapon manufacturers have designed some guns this way.
Respawn, don't bother with a barrel stabilizer for the Flatline. Just reduce the kick/spread a little and problem solved.
Its called the Flatline for crying out loud. It's supposed to be a stable firing weapon system.

Political Capital Matters in the Case for Fiscal Reform
Though the concern is that governments may not manage their fiscaI burdens with only a limited mutualisation of debt, I see the issue quite differently. My fear is that, with a deep mutualisation of debt, the reform process in member states will stop in its tracks.We know that successful federations feature regional bonds without bailout guarantees, as in the US, for example. The current crisis has its roots in irresponsible behaviour by European member states. The inordinate growth of public spending left some with too much public debt. Cutting spending is difficult in modern democracies but not impossible. Northern social democracies such as Finland and Sweden succeeded; Canada (now considered a country relatively resilient to the global crisis) did it in the 1990s; and Latvia and Estonia tightened their belts more recently.
A substantial mutualisation of debt would greatly diminish the incentives of member states to put their public finances in order. Political classes are short-termist almost by definition, and it will take tremendous leadership and commitment to restore public finances without the spur of market discipline.
German voters are sceptical of European "solidarity" because they sense that they will be handed the bill. However, a perhaps more substantial — and less subjective — worry on mutualisation is that it will lull the system into a false sense of security. Moral hazard is an important component of the current crisis.
Most Italians do understand that the crisis is the result of mismanaging our public finances and that public spending is huge: €800bn a year, including debt interest. Italians also appreciate they are paying Swedish rates for their public services, without Swedish standards. Stories about the government wasting money are daily media fare. There is no sense in the population that "this is just the Italian way". Italians have known they need change since at least the early 1990s, when it became clear that extensive governmental intervention in the economy bred corruption.
However, what Italy most needs is political capital. It is one of those moments in history when a society can be amazingly honest in the diagnosis of its own ills but lacks the doctor to administer the cure.The eurocrisis may stoke populist extremism in Italy simply because the country seems unable to offer a different political response. Beppe Grillo, a comedian-turned-politician, has around 20 per cent of votes. Silvio Berlusconi, after a few months of benevolent silence, is now returning to the political arena and aiming to capitalise on uncertainty by promising a quick Italian exit from the euro.
The technocratic government led by Mario Monti was good at diagnosis but bad at treatment. Reforms were too slow and Italian taxpayers were squeezed like lemons in the belief that fiscal consolidation via tax increases was the quickest and the most practical avenue in the emergency.
The old Italian political class lacks legitimacy because of the scandals around Berlusconi and also because it navigated through the past 20 years without addressing structural problems. The technocrats in government lack legitimacy too — nobody elected them and they did not prove to be particularly efficient, or fair, in their government action.
Thus, Italians may vote for improbable, populist options even though they have a clearer view of the crisis than their voting preferences may suggest.

Electrified Computerized Cradle Rocks Your Baby To Sleep
In our tireless quest to burn coal and waste electricity in new ways, we offer the Suima electric cradle. For $4,255 you get a unit that has a microphone that detects crying noises. Tokyo Mango reports that " It's programmed to start with a quick-paced rocking, then slowly settles into the pace of the mom's heartbeat; and eventually, it rocks slower and slower to a more sleep-inducing pace. If all goes according to plan, the baby should be asleep again within 15 minutes."
At least they show the thing being used in the master bedroom; I would hate to think of some baby off in a room with an electronic cradle doing the baby-sitting. To their credit, they also rent the thing for a hundred bucks a month. Suima via TokyoMango and Red Ferret

We tested Cisco's FabricPath architecture, the company's answer to TRILL - the IETF Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links RFC - for enabling shortest path multihop routing in large-scale Ethernet and FibreChannel-over-Ethernet data center networks. Actually, David Newman, a member of the Network World Lab Alliance and president of Network Test, an independent test lab and engineering services consultancy, conducted the testing.
In a nutshell, Newman found that FabricPath showed marked improvement over Ethernet's venerable Spanning Tree Protocol in the ability to increase bandwidth, reroute around failures and simplify network management. But Newman's test only looked at FabricPath functionality - it did not test scalability or latency. Network Test plans to revisit these other areas in the future.
Functionality was tested in five ways: validating that FabricPath would support 16 redundant paths between switches, as Cisco claims; the ability to load-share across those connections; the ability to group together EtherChannels at the edge switches, each comprising 16 10G links; uniform distribution of MAC addresses; and load-sharing of multicast and unicast traffic, as well as a mixture of multicast/unicast flows.
Newman's tests also found FabricPath to reroute traffic sent to a disabled switch in milliseconds vs. seconds with Spanning Tree; and to take no time nor drop any packets when reconverging the network after a switch was added.
For management, Cisco's Data Center Network Manager passed four tests, including discovering six Nexus switches, sending alerts when FabricPath utilization exceeded 80%, displaying an alarm on FabricPath link failure, and applying and removing weighted random early detection queuing.
The only downside to FabricPath Newman found was its limited availability. Currently, it is only supported on the latest 1/10G Ethernet cards for the Cisco Nexus 7000.

While the other players (Ford, Hamill) have been linked in news reports, Fisher's acknowledgement is actually the first official confirmation of a cast member in the upcoming 'Wars' film.

Follow my blog with Bloglovin
While endeavouring to complete my assignment due in a couple of days, I couldn't help but fall into a world of inspiration from my recent Brunswick Street escapades (it is almost like the universe does not want me to complete my assignment (?) and we all know the universe is always right, right? …In which case, it is probably best I don't bother completing my assignment, or any other assignment due this semester for that matter…). For anyone who has read this, it is quite obvious that I may or may not have spent the weekend taking artsy-insta-worthy* photos in front of cultural-street-art but well who's judging?
If you happen to find yourself amid the kangaroos, nature and wildlife** down under or perhaps you live here already but you are an 'immersing-yourself-in-all-the-cultures' type of person – it is paramount that you visit Rose Street Market/Brunswick Street/really anywhere in Fitzroy as soon as practicably possible! ANYWAYS… Here is some cool street art and Rose Street Market Inspo to make your Tuesday all the more fabulous (Recommend: 'Grace Cafe' for coffee & brunch).
Ciao x
* Photos posted on instagram that are artistic/creative in nature (for anyone who is yet to familiarize themselves with the ridiculous lingo that is my generation)
** Just for the record I have never actually seen a kangaroo nor have I made any conscious effort to get amongst any form of 'wildlife' or 'nature'…
PS: Is Throw-Back-Tuesday a thing? Likely these photos are too recent to constitute a 'throw-back' but #YOLO
PPS: Not sure if this post was about inspiring Brunswick street art OR familiarizing ones self with nonsense generation-Y-jargon

Cynthia Eagle Russett, a historian whose best-known book explored attempts by Victorian thinkers to scientifically "prove" women's inferiority, died on Dec. 5 in New Haven. She was 76.
The cause was multiple myeloma, according to Yale University, where she was the Larnard professor of history.
A historian of 19th- and 20th-century intellectual life, Professor Russett attracted wide attention with her book "Sexual Science: The Victorian Construction of Womanhood," published by Harvard University Press in 1989. The book examined the effect that the era's newfound scientific knowledge had on the larger society, particularly where questions of sexual parity were concerned.
At a time when first-wave feminism was starting to roil the status quo, male thinkers, Professor Russett showed, strove to uphold it by invoking science to argue for women's innate inadequacy.
"On the one hand, notions of female inferiority — physical, mental and moral — dating as they did from antiquity, could hardly be considered novel," she wrote. "On the other hand, by virtue of the specificity of detail and inclusiveness of theory at its command, science was able to provide a newly plausible account of this inferiority. Measuring limbs, pondering viscera, reckoning up skulls, the new mandarins of gender difference were able to spell out in chapter and verse the manifold distinctions of sex."
Among the most conspicuous offenders, Professor Russett wrote, was Charles Darwin, whose theory of human evolution had revolutionized the understanding of mankind's place in the cosmos — but who then used that theory to argue for womankind's continued subordination therein.
"Darwin had surmised that male intelligence, sharpened in both the struggle for mates and the struggle for survival, descended in its enhanced form, as a kind of secondary sex characteristic, to male offspring alone," she wrote. "A similar conception governed the belief, widespread among anthropologists, that men and women were becoming more and more differentiated as civilization progressed."
Reviewing "Sexual Science" in The New York Times Book Review, Janet Horowitz Murray said that Professor Russett "makes an able, patient and often witty guide to this museum of specious ideas," adding, "For however ludicrous these Victorian would-be rulers of creation may now appear, we cannot afford to forget that their foolish theories about the nature of womanhood contributed significantly to the very real misery of thousands of actual women."
Cynthia Eagle was born in Pittsburgh on Feb. 1, 1937. She earned a bachelor's degree in history from Trinity College in Washington (now Trinity Washington University), followed by master's and doctoral degrees in the field from Yale, whose faculty she joined in 1967.
Her other books include "Darwin in America: The Intellectual Response, 1865-1912" (1976), "The Extraordinary Mrs. R: A Friend Remembers Eleanor Roosevelt" (1999, with William Turner Levy) and "Second to None: A Documentary History of American Women" (1993), which she edited with Ruth Barnes Moynihan and Laurie Crumpacker.
A resident of Hamden, Conn., Professor Russett is survived by her husband of 53 years, Bruce Russett, a Yale political scientist; four children, Margaret, Mark, Lucia and Daniel Russett; and three grandchildren.
In the concluding passage of "Sexual Science," Professor Russett situated the stance of Darwin and his fellows in the context of their time — and, looking forward, in that of the present day:
"The construction of womanhood by Victorian scientists grew out of and was responsive to the very human needs of a particular historical moment," she wrote. "It needs to be seen for the masculine power play that it was, but it needs to be seen also as an intellectual monument, etched in fear, of the painful transition to the modern worldview."

We thrive on having the creative vision to come up with designs that not only get people to say "WOW! That's COOL!" But our work also has the simplicity and ease of use. When a client shares their insights and industry knowledge with us and we merge that with our creative design skills and strategic thought we produce results that are powerfully effective.

To be able to effectively communicate your identity online is best done through a creative mix of design, strategy, and utility. And that is the type of product we design.
Internet user attention spans are short. People go online to find, buy, or learn something quickly. The average time spent on a website when searching for information is less than 60 seconds.

We live in a time of information overload and people don't want to waste time needlessly.
We design and produce Wordpress websites, videos, photographs, digital art and motion graphics that are modern, sleek, and cool.

Thank you to all of our fans! #AgentsofSHIELDAgents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has been highly viewed and DVRd in each of its first 3 episodes and is slowly building a corner of the Marvel Cinematic Universe full of smaller scale heroes and villains to run next to the more mainstream characters seen in its films with Agent Phil Coulson acting as the bridge to connect both parts.
— Agents of SHIELD (@AgentsofSHIELD) October 10, 2013
I've watched each of the three episodes at least twice and appreciate the time Marvel is taking to build up the series and the subtleties involved in the process. While I know Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has taken a beating in some fanboy circles, that's to be expected. Haters gonna hate...and some of the people hating were out for the show before an episode ever aired. I'm glad this series will live on for at least 19 more shows; I'll be happy to revisit my opinion and the opinions of the haters when the show wraps up its first season!

Don't approach this hearing casually . . . the decision to file or not file criminal charges against you will be made here.
These hearings are held at the Office of the City Attorney before a prosecutor.
Used properly, this hearing is your one opportunity to impress the hearing officer of your innocence or mitigating circumstances in your favor.
Unlike a court proceeding, you do not have the right to a copy of the police report containing the facts being used against you.
An Attorney experienced in City Attorney Hearings, can usually have a meeting with the prosecutor before the hearing to learn about what the police report said you did including any physical evidence or witness statements sought to be used against you.
Armed with understanding both sides of the facts of the case, an experienced attorney can quickly strategize the facts and create the strongest defense for his client.
There is no substitute for experience . . . knowing what a client should say at this City Attorney hearing is equally important as what not to say to win these hearings and avoid criminal charges altogether.
Years of experience in doing these hearings gives our clients a strong advantage, by knowing how the hearing officer thinks on each case before even hearing and evaluating the facts. This valuable psychological advantage allows us to plan our client's presentation to optimize favorable results.
Hearing Officers set City Attorney Hearings in many different types of cases including battery, domestic violence, disturbing the peace, neighbor disputes, hit and run cases, and many other appropriate charges.
Regardless of the charges, hearing officers always appreciate good attitudes, a showing of increased awareness, and most important, appropriate remorse experienced.
Hearing Officers also give serious weight to clients taking voluntary and proactive steps to avoid future issues legal problems.
Hearing Officers are favorably influenced by clients attending Alcohol Anonymous Meetings, self help groups, or other rehabilitative efforts. Client's who attend counseling (with a letter of proof) showing that they are taking proactive steps to address the potential issues which contributed to the legal violation, always creates a positive impact at these hearings.
Prior to the hearing date, our clients are fully prepared on all of the above issues to dramatically increase the successful results of winning these hearings

Dunbar by Edward St Aubyn
'Leir the sonne of Baldud, was admitted ruler over the Britaines, in the year of the world 3105' (Holinshed's Chronicles, 1577). Shakespeare's play King Lear is set in the long ago, the age of ballads and folktales. 'Amongst those things that nature gave ...' goes the ballad King Leir and His Three Daughters. The sea and the storm, beauty, generation, crops, weeds, sex, suffering, death: King Lear deals in those things that nature gave – time unredeemed.
'The tragedy of this play has been urged beyond the outermost limit,' wrote Coleridge. Samuel Johnson was so shocked by Cordelia's death that he could not endure to read the last scenes again until he came to edit them. Nahum Tate, in 1681, rewrote the play to give Cordelia a happy ending. His version of King Lear played for more than a hundred years.
Now, as part of the Hogarth Shakespeare project, Edward St Aubyn has reconceived the play as a novel, Dunbar – a satire on an ageing media mogul ousted by two nasty daughters. These daughters bed the old man's doctor. With Dr Bob's help, they have had Dunbar committed to a nursing home. There, Dunbar meets his fool, an alcoholic comic actor with the vulnerable genius of Peter Sellars. The daughters of Dunbar's first marriage are plotting to privatise his media empire. They have their pantomime villainy and implausible loan conditions. Meanwhile, the daughter of his second marriage is living happily on a ranch with her loving husband and a trust fund from her mother. But she is starting to wonder where her father is.
Dunbar is a clever, amusing, and occasionally radiant novel. As a version of King Lear, it probably has more in common with the well-ordered and enjoyable anonymous play The True Chronicle History of King Leir and his Three Daughters, Gonorill, Ragan, and Cordella. Shakespeare was one of the Queen's Men, who joined with Sussex's Men to perform this play at the Rose Theatre on 6 and 8 April 1594. He may well have acted in it. About a decade later, he came to write his own version.
In King Leir, the author gives the King a sly reason to test his daughter's love: he wants to choose her husband:
Then at the vantage will I take Cordella,
Even as she does protest she loves me best,
I'll say, Then, daughter, grant me one request,
To show thou lovest me as thy sisters do.
Accept a husband, who myself will woo ...
Shakespeare omits the King's reason for testing his daughter's love from his King Lear. He returns to the unreasonable simplicities of the chronicles and ballads: 'So on a time it pleased the King / A question thus to move ...' In doing so, he brings back into the story, as its driving force, what Coleridge calls, 'the intense desire of being intensely beloved'. Shakespeare's play originates, not in policy, but baffled feeling. It is Coleridge who first pointed out something wrong from the start with King Lear's love test: the map of his daughters' shares is drawn before they speak. Wrongness, suddenness, blindness, extremity – from the first, King Lear sets loose these forces.
What is radical in the play derives from such unreason. Self-dispossessing truth, loyalty to a fallen king, a servant's protest against torture, kindness to an enemy's dog – in King Lear, 'amongst those things that nature gave', these are unaccountable, unreasonable, hugely politic. A mad beggar, a son in disguise, leads his blind father to an imaginary cliff's edge. The father thinks that he falls, in his blindness, and lives, and calls it a miracle. 'Where have I been?' asks the King. 'Where am I? Fair daylight –'
But in Dunbar, as in the old play King Leir, the characters have plausible reasons to act as they do. There is no love test. Dunbar disinherits Florence when she wants no part of his business. She never stands alone, with nothing, mysteriously stubborn. The other daughters were raised badly. Dunbar himself had a culpable parent. Dunbar's Fool follows him because he needs alcohol. 'The art of our necessities is strange,' says King Lear. Like King Leir, Dunbar concerns itself with the art of power, and is more expedient.
In another way, St Aubyn keeps to the old King Leir and chronicle histories: he leaves out the story of Gloucester and his sons. Shakespeare found this story of a blind father, unreasonably betrayed by one son, unreasonably saved by the other, in Philip Sidney's romance novel Arcadia, and wove it into his King Lear. 'The incorporation of the two stories has been censured as destructive of the unity of action,' writes Schlegel. But, he adds, 'it is the very combination which constitutes the sublime beauty of the work', changing a story of 'private misfortune' into 'a great commotion in the moral world: the picture becomes gigantic'.
In Dunbar, St Aubyn keeps versions of these characters where they shape King Lear's story. Out in the cold overnight, Dunbar meets, or perhaps imagines, a homeless man who helps him into a cave – a hint of Poor Tom, a hint of Paul Flowers. Dr Bob, the daughters' lover with secret ambitions of his own, is a type of Edmund, though, with his articulate self-pity and his nervy pill-popping, here Edmund is being played by a character from one of St Aubyn's Melrose novels. But Edmund's betrayal of his brother, and Edgar's banishment, and Edmund's betrayal of his father, and Gloucester's blinding on the stage, and Edgar's disguises – all of this goes.
It is a strange, deliberate diminution. Dunbar is the story of King Lear alone. Out of Shakespeare's gigantic picture of unredeemed suffering and radical wonder, St Aubyn has drawn a narrow, topical satire on the power and ethical blindness of a contemporary media mogul, who may prove complacent enough to find this flattering.
If St Aubyn has deliberately narrowed the range of the play – from a terrible vision of nature without god into a vision of some people with terrible natures – nevertheless he has kept, in Dunbar's walk through the night and snow, a memory of King Lear's discovery of the natural, which is the great awakening beauty of the play. It saves nobody, and justifies nothing, but is there. Into these passages of the novel St Aubyn pours his love for the play, much as Dunbar, loosed from the machinations of the plot at last, starts feeling the world pouring through him: 'When at last he dared to look up he saw a canopy of thin broken cloud and, behind it, the detached blue of the upper sky flooded with light ...' In these visions, and in St Aubyn's account of Lear's fool, the novel enters another register.

This book is a rare look into a war that many people did not know was going on. Beah shares his story as he his running away from the war, fighting to stay alive. This book has so many moments were you can not fathom that this is a true story. Beah also talks about his life after the war and getting rehabilitated. This book will leave you wanting more and more. If you are looking for a book that will open your eyes to a new side of life then this is the book for you.
A raw, heartbreaking, and ultimately satisfying read.
Hard to believe this young man isn't a psycho after what he went through. It is heart breaking that children are subjected to such terrible things and forced to do things just to survive. This "kid" was one of the lucky (tongue in cheek) ones to come out of this nightmare that no one would ever want to endure.
Ishmael's story of survival is far more brutal but in some ways similar to Saroo's journey in A Long Way Home (aka Lion) ... both sad but hopeful and highly recommended. There's a garden of Eden scene in the middle that's a bit surreal like the eye of a storm, but the rest is gritty reality.
Struggle through some of the writing, because the story is powerful and moving. As a westerner, I know far to little about civil war that breaks out in the developing world. So happy he has had the chance to tell his story to the UN. This is heart-breaking and hopeful at the same time. Truly a redemption story.
This is a must read with some qualifiers: be prepared to get out of your head and discover conflict from another point of view; and be ready to experience loss, fear, shame and guilt in the story of a survivor, a perpetrator and a child. From the vantage point of having survived life as a boy soldier Beah provides us with a compassionate telling of a brutal story.
This was one of the best books I have ever read, but was also one of the hardest to read. The experiences and memories told by Beah throughout the story can sometimes take an emotional toll on the reader. It's crucial to the story that Beah does not hold back description wise to truly show the reader just how bad of a situation all of this was. Beah's incredible writing style makes this novel a fast paced read that flows smoothly. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to become more informed on the child soldier crisis or anyone that just wants a good fast paced read.
This was one of the hardest books I have ever read. Right up there with Man's Search For Meaning. It breaks my heart that there is such a lack of humanity in the world, yet I find myself uplifted at the same time to see the return of this man from such a destroyed soul to such a kind and grateful one. I cried throughout the story, and bawled my eyes out reading his acknowledgements. The chronology was enlightening and frightening as well. This book may cause a stir in you and should certainly humble all who read it.
To one of the comments made below, this was written by a person who went through terrible tragedies and therefore, this story could not have been told in it's true form if it had been written by a "bona fide author". Some people just don't get it. Smh
Very compelling and sad. Graphic violence so not for the faint of heart. Inspiring and brave, none-the-less. This story makes you want to hug your family tighter, kiss the American soul that you walk on, and become more aware of the crimes against humanity going on in the world to this day.
This was a school assignment given to my high school age son for a summer reading assignment and I read it before him. I would not recommend to anyone under a freshman in HS or who can't handle violence and war crimes.
Good reading if you want a first person account of a child soldier in Sierra Leone. It is sad what people will do to each other and how they will justify it. Book is very brutal and graphic in places. It is amazing how these things could be happening in the 21st century. I think it basically comes down to that people are greedy and will take whatever they want in any way possible. What a hell-hole of a country to live in.

SummaryAdd a Summary
There were all kinds of stories told about the war that made it sound as if it was happening in a faraway and different land. It wasn't until refugees started passing through our town that we began to see that it was actually taking place in our country. Families who had walked hundreds of miles told how relatives had been killed and their houses burned. Some people felt sorry for them and offered them places to stay, but most of the refugees refused, because they said the war would eventually reach our town. The children of these families wouldn't look at us, and they jumped at the sound of chopping wood or as stones landed on the tin roofs flung by children hunting birds with slingshots. The adults among these children from the war zones would be lost in their thoughts during conversations with the elders of my town. Apart from their fatigue and malnourishment, it was evident they had seen something that plagued their minds, something that we would refuse to accept if they told us all of it. At times I thought that some of the stories the passersby told were exaggerated. The only wars I knew of were those that I had read about in books or seen in movies such as Rambo: First Blood, and the one in neighboring Liberia that I had heard about on the BBC news. My imagination at ten years old didn't have the capacity to grasp what had taken away the happiness of the refugees
At age 12, Ishmael Beah fled his village after it was attacked. At age 13, he joined the government armgy and is feed drugs in order to attack villages. At 16, he is removed from fighting by UNICEF and through the help of staff at his rehabilitation centre, he learned how to forgive hmself to regain his humanity and finally to heal. He eventually imigrates to the US and is adopted by a family. He attended school and university.

This would have gone from an 8.5 to a 9 had they not changed the lyrics. Maybe it's cause I listened to the Magnetic Fields too much in college, but I'm a sucker for a cover where the gender of the singer changes, but the lyrics remain the same.

"A lot of art conservation is not a restorative process. It's a maintenance ... that tries to slow down the hand of time," said Dr. Whitmore, who has been with the (Art Conservation Research Center at Carnegie Mellon University) for 21 years. "Very often we're trying to keep beautiful objects that are already in good condition from turning into rubble."Keep reading...
In a sense, the center has been trying to transform the "art" of preserving art into a science since 1950. It focuses on how to expand the lifespan of cultural artifacts, historical documents and books. For the most part, it works with simulation artwork to determine how a piece may react to various stresses so that actual pieces are not damaged in the process.
Its studies help museums and collectors around the world learn what conditions (such as exposure to light, temperature and humidity) a piece can withstand with minimum amount of damage over time.
Among its inventions, it has created a machine known as the microfading tester, which studies how light affects a particular piece of art by shining a pinpoint of light into it, catching the reflection and analyzing any color change that may occur.
This is used mainly to study works of art where color is essential to the piece's beauty or value. Invented 15 years ago, the machine is now being used by more than a dozen museums worldwide. The center also will do tests for the Carnegie Museum of Art and for other institutions on a contract basis.
"They're a significant contributor to conservation science and research. Very significant," said Jim Coddington, the chief conservator for the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.
Mr. Coddington said MoMA uses CMU's microfading tester and has followed the center's research for 22 years.
"It really would be devastating [if the center didn't exist]. ... In that sense, I do think it's irreplaceable. Not that nobody else can do the work, but nobody has set up a research institute dedicated to these fundamental subjects of science. The Smithsonian does similar work, but any time you cut the research by half or a third, the impact is huge," Mr. Coddington said.
The CMU center has also conducted research with synthetic resins -- used especially in modern art, the use of spray solvent vapors to analyze degrading documents and testing materials using "breathalyzer tests."
"We're trying to learn the condition of art objects by smelling their breath," Dr. Whitmore said.

The OSKI: My Cardz, Let Me Show You Them
Hello, fellow Fiestans,
What happened during last night's maintenance?
Well, it seems that the wacky scientists in the Secret Lab have been at it again. They were experimenting with unleashing the full power of different monsters and decided that it was finally time for a real test. They captured a giant slime named Purple Durple that was last seen sitting in Elderine and used it for research.
When the time came for the test run, they aimed the Unleashing Beam at the slime and... it backfired. The beam was caught inside Purple Durple, bouncing all around and getting refracted a million times over. The energy built up and eventually shot out of the slime in a shockwave that swept through all of Isya. Instead of unlocking the monsters' inner power, it had the reverse effect; they became trapped inside cards!
When adventurers from the cities discovered this phenomenon, they set out to gather all of the different cards. Nobody knows yet exactly how many there are, but whispers of rewards for those who collect certain cards have been floating around Isya. Help us discover new cards and unravel the mysteries they hold!
- Implemented the Card Collection System
- Monsters will sometimes drop a special, collectible card of varying rarities. Gather as many as you can for secret rewards!
- The number of Dark Nepilim monsters has been increased from 2 to 5 on the Adealia map.
- The requirement for the "Collecting Twister Crystals" quest has been decreased from 20 crystals to 10. The drop rate for this quest item has also been increased.
- Level 65 blue drops now appear in Crystal Castle reward chests (1st attempt at fix; still under investigation).
- The correct monsters now drop the quest item for "The Gradual Unfolding of the Truth" quest.
- Background music now correctly loops on the Adealia map
- The damage relect buff for Helga Hard Mode now instantly disappears after killing the Karasian Illusionists/Magicians (instead of lasting 10-20 seconds).
- Various fixes implemented for unreleased premium items & Anniversary Balloons
- Errors fixed in Snowman Cap, Furry Lion Hat, Mini Penguin, Draotter and Cupid's Arrow item descriptions
- Sound replaced for Draotter & Ottergon mounts
We'll see you in Isya!

Vernon man, four others arrested in gun trafficking case - UPDATE
Four B.C. men and a woman in Florida have been arrested and 80 guns seized in a cross-border gun trafficking case. The Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit showed off Mach 9s and 10s, AK-47 knock-offs, hunting rifles, silencers, DVDs on how to assemble assault rifles and more at a news conference in Delta Thursday.
As Chief Officer Dan Malo said, the guns would have inevitably ended up in the hands of B.C. gangsters to be used to settle scores in their continuing conflicts.
"This is a good day for British Columbians," Malo said.
The only person charged so far is Riley Stewart Kotz, 32, of Vernon. Corporate records show he ran a company called Hycaps International Outfitters, that appears to be the website through which the guns and parts purchases were being made.
He appeared in Vernon Provincial Court Friday, where his case was put over to Nov. 7th for a bail hearing.
Here's my full story, with a video link to Riley:
Vernon man faces 34 firearms counts after undercover gun trafficking probe
Police say they have smashed an international gun-trafficking group centred in the Okanagan that was selling automatic weapons and ammunition to gangsters.
The Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit on Thursday showed off close to 80 firearms seized in the undercover investigation that stretched from Vernon to Florida.
Facing 34 gun charges is Riley Stewart Kotz, a 32-year-old Vernon man who was running an online company called Hycaps International Outfitters.
The company claimed on its site to "specialize in pinned high capacity gun magazines with international shipping."
But CFSEU Chief Officer Dan Malo said Kotz and others in the gun ring were smuggling illegal modified firearms into Canada, where criminals would pay thousands each for the deadly weapons.
The investigation, dubbed E-Nimbus, started after a tip last February and "eventually resulted in undercover officers purchasing numerous guns and accessories that are illegal in Canada," Malo said.
"These guns and accessories, had we not intercepted them, in all likelihood would have made their way into the hands of gangsters and those looking to commit violent crimes in our communities," he said.
"The guns, which include everything from handguns to machine guns were re-engineered and in some cases made into fully automatic firearms capable of firing dozens of rounds per second."
Kotz, who was unknown to police before the investigation, was arrested in Vernon Oct. 19.
"During the arrest, the man allegedly tried to pull out a handgun he had hidden in his clothing and then allegedly tried to disarm two of our arresting officers before he was able to be handcuffed," Malo said.
Malo said CFSEU worked with a number of agencies, including the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. The ATF raided a Pace, Fla. home Oct. 19 linked to the B.C. probe, arresting a woman and seizing another 10 firearms.
While Malo didn't name the woman, corporate documents show Kotz's business partner as Heather Wright, of 4408 Summerfield Court, in Pace, Fla.
She is expected to be charged, as are three other Okanagan men "who had been identified as being involved in the alleged trafficking of these weapons," Malo said. They were also arrested, but have been released. One was in a vehicle containing seven firearms and a silencer.
Search warrants were executed at Kotz's Vernon home and two Penticton locations, as well as at a storage locker in Sparwood.
Kotz only registered his company in B.C. in June, according to the corporate registry. But he was advertising online months earlier, saying he was expanding his business.
"The more support we get, the more we can grow and the more we can offer Canadian gun lovers," he wrote online last November, adding that his company "guarantees delivery to Canada."
A Hycaps customer complained online nine months ago that he "ordered some magazine pins and they got confiscated by the CBSA (Canada Border Services Agency.)"
The firepower included AK-47 knock-offs, Mach 9s and '10s and thousands of rounds of ammunition, as well as a silencer, gun moulds and even DVDs on how to assemble AK-47s.
Malo said the seizure of so many weapons has definitely made the streets of B.C. safer.
"Gang violence starts with the ready access to guns like those you see here today," he said. "These guns, the magazines, the ammunition, have the potential to kill or wound innocent people and it is completely unacceptable that these get into the hands of criminals that walk the streets in our communities."
Cpl. Frank Grosspietsch, of the RCMP's National Weapons Enforcement Support Team, explained to reporters Thursday how some of the guns had been modified to make them fully automatic.
Showing one of the AK-47s, he said: "This is a firearm that is made for one purpose and one purpose only — to kill people."
ATF official William Temple praised the effort of investigators on both sides of the border.
"This investigation is just another example of the effort made between Canadian and U.S. law enforcement to collaborate and share information and work in a cohesive, targeted approach to stem the flow of illegal firearms in both countries," he said.
