  • In the Norvinsk Region, a Special Economic Zone That Served As Both
    In the Norvinsk Region, a special economic zone that served as both a bridge between Russia and Europe as well as an excellent location for international companies to do business, a Britain-based corporation called Terra Group began conducting illegal experiments under the guise of creating “new, cutting edge technologies.” When the Russian government began to investigate Terra Group hired a PMC known as USEC (United Security) to act as their proxy private army to disrupt any investigations on their activities. With traditional methods exhausted and their hands legally tied the Russian government took a new approach and secretly created a PMC of their own, known as BEAR, who could successfully combat USEC while keeping their hands clean. It was soon discovered that some elements of the local government also had a hand in Terra Group’s activities by hiding their facilities and officially slating the new USEC forces as being used for “agricultural and mining security”. The Russian government began to believe that these activities were a genuine threat to national security and therefore invested a great deal of resources into BEAR. USEC and BEAR soon came to blows all across the region, the fighting intensifying to the point where a six month political scandal resulted in the involvement of the UN, who soon proved to be ineffective against either side. Eventually, the Norvinsk Region was evacuated by the majority of the civilians who had made their homes there due to the incredible danger that resulted from these battles. Yes, just most of them. Some were ​ ​ unable to leave in time, but some willingly stayed behind in the now mostly lawless area.

  • A 3D Tour Handgun History Dan Lovy
    A 3D Tour Handgun History Dan Lovy I have a new toy, a 3D printer. I am amazed at the level of quality compared to its price. I'm printing out robots, cartoon characters and as many Star Trek ship models as I can find. The darn thing is running almost 24/7 and all my shelving is filling up with little plastic objects. First let me state that I am not a gun enthusiast. I own no fire arms and have been to a firing range once in my life. I believe that we have too many and they are too accessible, especially in the U.S. That having been said, I also have a fascination with the technological change that occurred during the industrial revolution. In some ways we are still advancing the technology that was developed in the late 19th and early 20th century. Fire arms, especially handguns, offer a unique window into all this. Advancement did not happen through increased complexity. A modern Glock is not much more complex than a Colt 1911. The number of parts in a pistol has been in the same range for nearly 200 years. Cars on the other hand gained complexity and added system after system. Advancement did not happen through orders of magnitude in performance. A 747 is vastly more capable than the Wright Flyer. One of the basic measures of a pistol is how fast can it shoot a bullet, that parameter has not really changed much, certainly not as much as the top speed of a car.

  • 2014 Annual Report
    YAVAPI COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE ANNUAL REPORT Sheriff Scott Mascher FULL SERVICE FOR 150 YEARS SINCE 1864 WORD FROM THE SHERIFF The Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office mission is to enhance the quality of life by working cooperatively with the public to prevent crime, enforce the law, preserve the peace, and provide a safe environment through professional education programs aimed at promoting community involvement in various community services and crime prevention education. Currently the Sheriff’s Office has over 400 authorized positions. Of that number, 139 are certified officers assigned throughout the county and 210 are assigned to the Camp Verde Jail. The other positions are various support positions assigned throughout the county. The Sheriff’s Office also has over 1,000 volunteers at our disposal to assist use in our mission at any time. The Agency has three very distinct divisions that manage the specialty services offered by the Sheriff’s Office. The Detention Services Division manages both detention facilities, Camp Verde and Prescott. The Law Enforcement Services Division manages the field operations of certified officers throughout the county. The Support Services Division manages the entire agency’s records, both jail and law enforcement, along with countywide communications/dispatch services and the recruitment and training of personnel for the entire agency. The Sheriff’s Office has not published an Annual Report since 2003 and I believe it is a notable resource for the public so I decided to create one. I wanted to take a moment, thank everyone for their support of the Sheriff’s Office, and share some of the accomplishments this agency has achieved.

They consist of the Libyan Army , Libyan Air Force and the Libyan Navy with other services which include the People's Militia, and the rebels fighting in Libya. The total number of Libyan personnel was estimated at 119,000, [citation needed ] though the 2011 Libyan uprising has sliced the military's numbers. There is no separate defence ministry; all defence activities are centralised under the presidency. Arms production is limited and manufacturers are state-owned. [1] Colonel Abu-Bakr Yunis Jaber is the chief of the staff of the military. [citation needed ] The roots of the contemporary Libyan armed forces can be traced to the Libyan Arab Force (popularly known as the Sanusi Army) of World War II .[2] Shortly after Italy entered the war, a number of Libyan leaders living in exile in Egypt called on their compatriots to organise themselves into military units and join the British in the war against the Axis powers.

  • Ammunition) to Manual Small Arms 2.1
    Chapter 2 THEORETICAL AND LEGAL SUPPORT OF CRIMINALISTIC RESEARCH OF CARTRIDGES (AMMUNITION) TO MANUAL SMALL ARMS 2.1. Cartridges (ammunition) as objects criminalistic research (concept, essence, classification) Currently, one of the unresolved problems of assessing the conclu- sion of forensic ballistic examination is the use in its content of terms and their definitions that do not meet modern scientific ideas about the objects under study. This applies to both legislative acts and normative legal acts regulating the conduct of relevant examinations, in particular the study of cartridges (ammunition) used for shooting from small arms, traces of their use. However, the accuracy and unambiguity of terminol- ogy used in forensic ballistic examination of cartridges (ammunition) are important to ensure its uniform understanding and use in both foren- sic and law enforcement activities. It is no coincidence that the literature emphasizes that one of the main elements of the concept of the General theory of forensic examina- tion is the doctrine of the means and forms of communicative activity in the production of forensic examinations; the Central part of this element is the language of the expert, the system of expert concepts and terms designating them. The development and improvement of the General theory of forensic examination largely depend on the development and improvement of its conceptual apparatus, in-depth disclosure of the es- sence of objects, phenomena reflected in each concept [3, p. 103]. R. S. Belkin notes that the introduction of new terms and their definitions into forensic examination as a specific sphere of scientific knowledge is carried out by expanding the existing basis of theoretical provisions and empirical data [36, p.
