#kelowna general

[originallandlockedmariner]

It’s been a harrowing and emotional last few days here. On almost the exact day of the 20th anniversary of the 2003 Okanagan Mountain fire… a new larger wildfire has consumed the majority of West Kelowna, jumped the lake to East Kelowna, and also into Lake Country. Evacuation orders, sleepless nights, high winds, and losses beyond imagination.

Thank you to the firefighters, first responders, the police, the Central Okanagan Emergency Operations, the numerous volunteers, and the entire community in general.

Fingers and toes crossed that rain arrives soon.

I never did share my KinitoPET oc playlists did I?

Anyways! These are just songs that remind me of them in someway. Could be something they'd listen too, something about the song represents them (title, album, cover art, lyric, interpretation, vibe, or genre), or I just like it and decided they need to like it too.

Obligatory tags for the askblogs Scar and Atâhk are from. Seriously check them out! and the other awesome askblogs and just blogs in general in this circle, I feel completely surrounded by the coolest and most talented people with the most inspiring, motivating passion for their characters and what they create. It's really helped me be more openly passionate about my own OCs.

Learn more and experience the serverbox au, where Scar is an asker character, here: @lastintheserverbox

Learn more and experience electronicdissonance, where Atâhk is a character, here: @electricdissonance

I'll add a read more because this is going to be... A lot.

Scar!

I really enjoyed making his playlist! I've been listening to it on repeat for like two weeks now! Rotating him and everyone else on serverbox in my head.

Five songs from his playlist that really stand out to me and my reason's why:

Gilded Lily - Cults || "Haven't I given enough, given enough?" || he feels like he's losing everything, has lost everything. Does he really need to give up more?

Only Human - Philip Ayers || it's the title and vibe. He might living in the digital world, but even then he's still only human he has hopes, dreams, and ideas for the future, he still gets sad, angry, and happy.

Disembodied Mind - Sparkbird || "I am in trouble with myself again... That's why I'll do anything to keep myself away from me maybe when I'm gone I'll see me in a better light" || He doesn't have the best opinion of himself, he sometimes wishes he did.

Milk Carton - Madilyn Mei || "Say, is that the kid from the milk carton? Can I do anything when I'm also missing?" || He's gone missing twice in his life. Once when he was a kid, around four or five, when him and his dad first moved to British Columbia. The second time was when he died, nobody saw him leave town or hear anything about him going anywhere, he was a little bit of a hermit, especially after Dahlia's passing, but he was still sociable and told people most of his important plans to leave just incase there was a wildfire, storm, or a rockslide so people wouldn't get trapped going up the mountain to warn him. They never really got closure on his case, they searched his house and found nothing that indicated he left or planned to go anywhere. His phone was still next to his desktop, dust had already began settling on everything. His car and his car keys were all still there. He just vanished.

Cold Island - My Singing Monsters || "Nobody likes me, everyone is afraid of me." || He tends to assume the worst when he gets in trouble, he doesn't have a good opinion of himself so why would anyone else?

Dot!

I got to include some different types of songs in her playlist because of what I image her to be! She's a seal/selkie in the digital world, she's also originally from Newfoundland and Labrador but her family also moved to Kelowna around the same time Scar's did, her mother is Labrador Inuit and her father is a second generation Scottish immigrant from Newfoundland.

Five songs from her playlist that stand out to me and my reason's why:

Great Big Sea/Gone By The Board - Great Big Sea (Newfoundland folk song) || I just like this song. This is the reason she's from Newfoundland and Labrador and not anywhere.

Bones In the Ocean - The Longest Johns || "I remember the living, do they think of me?" || Dahlia had a Kinito and he was on her phone with her, he enjoyed being with her when she visited Scar, he had never met Scar properly but he liked Scar he was a good friend a perfect second best friend for his best friend. When Dahlia was in her accident, they were driving home from Scar's. Kinito was with her and she knew Kinito could pull her into his world, he had offered it before but she told him she couldn't not if it meant leaving Scar behind. She remembers reaching for her phone and telling Kinito this was a special exception for her declining his offer, before she was fully dead he pulled her in, unable to pull her entire body into the phone he pulled in just her consciousness. She often thinks about Scar, wondering how often he thinks about her. Not knowing both of them are dead and living in the digital world.

Deal With Destiny - LDShadowlady, Scott Major, Pokopom || arguably a very silly song to list after all that I just wrote but listen, it fits Dot. She would've loved Empires Lizzy without a doubt.

4am (Acoustic) - Derivakat || "Keep me up 'til 4am, I'll stay up for you" || mainly the vibes of the lyrics, she'd stay awake if any one of her friends just needed someone to be awake with them.

Jort Storm - Slimecicle || She'd be singing this song all the time. It's chaotic, it's silly, it's a banger. She considers the lyrics "Got a genetic test but all my genes were shorts" a musical and writing masterpiece.

---

Atâhk!

So many choral songs! I just started building the playlist and was taken in by the amount of choral music I could put in his playlist. It's why his playlist is 21 hours long. I got a silly. Also his songs I chose ended up being more of the vibe of him.

Five Six songs from his playlist that really stand out to me and my reason's why:

Suspicion Of Humans / 人間への疑惑 - Akimitsu Honma, 関向弥生 || It's got a bit of a silly little vibe to it, sounds like someone is about to pull a little trick. "suspicioun of humans"? More like "be suspicious of that coyote over there with a bottle of glitter". It's 4:30 am I don't know what I'm saying but please understand the vibe. It's because Atâhk is silly and would pull little (harmless) gags and tricks.

Hug All Your Friends - Cavetown || "Life's too short, to worry about things that we got wrong, so hug all your friends and let them know, you're not letting go. No, I won't let go, oh" || a rule he lives by. Hug all your friends, there's way too much going on in the world to not let your friends know you care, to let them know you love them.

The Moon Will Sing - The Crane Wives || not so much the song, while this band is something Atâhk would listen too, it's the album title "Coyote Stories". Atâhk is a coyote it made me think of him.

Earth Song - Frank Ticheli, VOCES8, Requiem - Eliza Gilkyson|| "But music and singing shall be my refuge And music and singing shall be my light A light of song, shining strong: Hallelujah! Through darkness and pain and strive, I'll sing. Be. See. Live. Peace." - Earth Song, "mother mary, calm our fears, have mercy drowning in a sea of tears, have mercy. hear our mournful plea. our world has been shaken. we wander our homelands forsaken" - Requiem || This is a double feature of songs, because these songs are more of a personal choice to add rather than more of a specific character choice. With how I ended up making Atâhk as a person, he is empathetic, passionate, and a little bit overly sensitive. These songs, I imagine would have a similar effect on him as they did on me when I first sang them in choir, move him to tears. These songs are gorgeous and incredibly powerful.

Your Evening Porch - harren || you might need a little comfort after listening to those two songs, why not have a comfort song of mine and Atâhk's? He listens to a variety of genres and styles, but this? this song, this vibe, this is absolutely his favourite.

hi bea! i love all your titles sm- can u tell me more about borax and bonbons, pls and thank u? ❤️

lexiii yes! and i'll give you a snippet just because :)

basically! okay i lied a little bit it's an agent whiskey x reader and an eggsy unwin x reader fic, with jack as the endgame pairing. British people aren't real and they can't hurt you but i want my eggsy-whiskey sandwich goddamnit!!!!

this is a post-canon alternate universe where whiskey doesn't die. reader is agent windsor, apart of the Canadian equivalent to both the Kingsmen and the Statesmen, the Woodsmen - they're in the maple syrup business. there will be themes of grief, death, love and redemption!! what is real and true love and what is grasping at the past?! and so on.

the Woodsmen agents are also named after cities all throughout Canada. i chose Windsor for reader because it's close enough to my hometown without doxxing myself and my mother lol. other agent names inform their personalities, if any of you are familiar with Canadian geopolitics.

"Agent Windsor, I see you've met Jack Daniels," he says.

Agent Windsor.

"Why is he awake?" she asks.

"When the generator failed, the cryochamber must've failed with it," the man explains.

"What do we do now?" Menthol—Windsor asks. "We can't just let him go. They trusted him with us." That last part is a harsh whisper.

"I'll handle it. Go find Kelowna, she'll need this update immediately," he says.

Hesitantly, Agent Windsor hands the man her shotgun. Sparing one last glance at Jack, she goes the way this mystery man came, disappearing in a curtain of fine snowflakes.

"Mr. Daniels," the man says. "I'm Agent Athabasca."

B.C. government seeks to seize properties allegedly linked to $165-million stock fraud

B.C. Civil Forfeiture Office alleges a $1.6-million house on Mission Ridge Road in Kelowna and a $524,000 condo at nearby Big White ski resort are the proceeds of crime

The B.C. government is suing to seize properties in the B.C. Interior that it alleges were linked to a $200-million-plus international stock fraud.

In a lawsuit filed in B.C. Supreme Court this month, the B.C. Civil Forfeiture Office alleges a $1.6-million house on Mission Ridge Road in Kelowna and a $524,000 condo at nearby Big White ski resort are proceeds of crime and should be forfeited.

The properties are owned by Cuatro Cienagas Inversiones Ltd., incorporated in Hong Kong in January 2017 and registered in B.C. three months later as an extraprovincial company.

Named in the suit are Benjamin Thomas Kirk; Kayley Tyne Johnson, the current or former spouse of Kirk; and Carlos Gomez Brana. Kirk and Johnson’s last known address was at the Mission Ridge home and Brana is believed to live in Mexico.

None of the defendants has responded to the civil lawsuit. It contains allegations that have not been proven in court.

Among the allegations of unlawful activity against the trio are breaches of the U.S. Securities Act and the B.C. Securities Act, possession of proceeds of crime, fraud, manipulating stock prices, laundering money and tax evasion, according to court documents.

The forfeiture office alleges that Cuatro Cienagas Inversiones is owned and operated by one or more of Kirk, Johnson and Brana and was set up in B.C. to receive and distribute money from a stock fraud investigated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

In the fall of 2018, the SEC said it halted the penny stock fraud scheme by freezing assets of two individuals, including a British citizen, Roger Knox, and their companies.

The SEC said the scheme generated more than US$165 million in illegal sales of shares of at least 50 micro-cap companies, those with a value of $50 million to $300 million. Knox, and his Swiss-firm Wintercap SA, formerly Silverton SA, concealed stock ownership, allowing stocks to be pumped up in price and dumped for a profit, according to the SEC.

Knox faces criminal charges in the United States for the scheme.

The SEC’s complaint alleges Michael T. Gastauer aided the fraud by establishing several U.S. companies, including virtual financial firms, and allowing Knox to use the bank accounts to disburse the proceeds of his illegal stock sales.

According to the forfeiture office’s court filings, proceeds from the scheme were transferred to or on behalf of one or more of Cuatro Cienagas Inversiones, Kirk, Johnson and Brana.

Cuatro Cienagas then used that money to buy the properties in the Interior, according to the civil forfeiture office’s claim.

On March 22, 2017, Cuatro Cienagas used accounts set up by Gastauer to transfer $101,000 to Norwich Real Estate Services Inc. in Kelowna. On May 10 and 11, another $1.529 million was transferred in three instalments to an unnamed Kelowna law firm.

On May 18, Cuatro Cienagas bought the Mission Ridge home for $1.6 million in cash.

From May 30 to Oct. 23, 2017, Cuatro Cienagas transferred in three instalments $250,500 to a Bank of Montreal account. In December, Cuatro Cienagas also directed the Swiss firm, formerly known as Silverton, to transfer in three instalments $548,000 from another Bank of Montreal account to the unnamed Kelowna law firm.

On Jan. 10, 2018, Cuatro Cienagas bought the condo at Big White ski hill.

The unnamed law firm acted as Cuatro’s lawyer in the property purchases, according to the court filings.

According to the civil claim, Kirk was charged in 2013 of violations of the U.S. Securities Act. In 2015, Kirk admitted to breaches of the Alberta Securities Act and agreed to pay a fine of $100,000.

Kelowna's Tech Hub: How the Okanagan Valley is Becoming Canada's Silicon Valley

The Okanagan Valley, long known for its stunning landscapes and world-class wineries, is rapidly emerging as a formidable player in Canada's tech industry. At the heart of this transformation lies Kelowna, a city that's quickly earning the moniker of "Silicon Valley North." This burgeoning tech hub is attracting innovators, entrepreneurs, and established companies alike, all drawn by the promise of a thriving ecosystem that combines cutting-edge technology with an unparalleled quality of life.

In recent years, Kelowna has experienced a significant influx of tech startups and established firms setting up shop in the region. The city's tech sector now boasts over 700 companies, employing more than 12,000 people and generating an estimated $1.7 billion in economic impact. 

This growth is fueled by a combination of factors, including a supportive business environment, access to talent from local universities, and a lower cost of living compared to major urban centers like Vancouver or Toronto.

One of the key drivers of Kelowna's tech boom is its focus on innovation across various sectors. From agritech solutions that leverage the region's agricultural heritage to cleantech initiatives addressing environmental challenges, the city is fostering a diverse and dynamic tech ecosystem. 

This forward-thinking atmosphere extends beyond just software and hardware development, encompassing advancements in healthcare, including cutting-edge medical technologies and procedures.

The city's commitment to innovation is evident in its embrace of advanced medical technologies, particularly in the field of ophthalmology. Laser vision correction services, for instance, have found a natural home in Kelowna's tech-savvy environment. 

These state-of-the-art procedures align perfectly with the city's ethos of leveraging technology to improve quality of life. As the tech industry in Kelowna continues to grow, so does the demand for advanced healthcare services that cater to a workforce that values precision, efficiency, and innovation.

Kelowna's tech ecosystem is supported by a robust network of incubators, accelerators, and co-working spaces. 

Organizations like Accelerate Okanagan provide mentorship, funding opportunities, and networking events that help nurture the next generation of tech entrepreneurs. This collaborative environment fosters cross-pollination of ideas and encourages the kind of innovative thinking that drives technological advancement.

The city's natural beauty and recreational opportunities also play a crucial role in attracting and retaining tech talent. The ability to go from a high-tech office to world-class ski slopes or pristine lakes within minutes is a powerful draw for professionals seeking work-life balance. 

This unique blend of career opportunities and lifestyle amenities is positioning Kelowna as an increasingly attractive alternative to traditional tech hubs.

As Kelowna continues to cement its status as a tech powerhouse, businesses across all sectors are adapting to meet the needs of this evolving landscape. 

One such example is Focus Eye Centre, a leading ophthalmology clinic that embodies the spirit of innovation that defines Kelowna's tech scene. By offering advanced laser vision correction services, Focus Eye Centre not only caters to the tech-savvy population but also contributes to the city's reputation as a center for cutting-edge medical technology.

Focus Eye Centre's commitment to utilizing the latest advancements in vision correction aligns seamlessly with Kelowna's forward-thinking atmosphere. As the city attracts more tech professionals who value precision and innovation in all aspects of their lives, services like those offered by Focus Eye Centre become increasingly integral to the community. 

By providing state-of-the-art vision correction procedures, Focus Eye Centre is not just improving the sight of Kelowna's residents, it's enhancing their ability to contribute to and benefit from the city's thriving tech ecosystem.

In conclusion, Kelowna's transformation into a tech hub is a testament to the city's ability to blend innovation with an exceptional quality of life. As the Okanagan Valley continues to draw comparisons to Silicon Valley, it's clear that this Canadian gem is carving out its own unique identity in the global tech landscape. 

With businesses like Focus Eye Centre at the forefront of technological adoption, Kelowna is well-positioned to maintain its trajectory as a leading destination for tech innovation and advanced healthcare services

"UNIONS EMPOWERED TO DECLARE STRIKE OF RUNNING TRADES," Toronto Globe. September 30, 1933. Page 1 & 2. ---- General Chairmen of Rail Brotherhoods Considering Next Move --- SECRET SESSIONS HELD ---- Growing Industrial Troubles Complicate Conditions in Canada ---- While one Canadian industrial strike was deadlocked yesterday an- other that might involve 30,000 workers was authorized.

Eight-hundred workers appeared definitely out of work with the decision of executives of six furniture factories and one meat packing plant to break off negotiations with workers who walked out a fortnight ago demanding higher wages and union recognition. In Montreal, union officials of the Canadian National and Canadian Pacific Railway running trades announced a strike vote had authorized them to call a walk-out If other efforts should fail to prevent enforcement of a second 10 per cent. cut in the basic wage rate. It was rumored, however, that further conferences would be held between union heads and railway executives.

At Kelowna, British Columbia, 500 angry farmers won their first skirmish against fruit shippers they claim were seeking to violate rules of a newly created Stabilization Marketing Board by shipping apples to market in bulk carloads. The farmers crowded onto a siding and prevented a locomotive from picking up cars said to be laden with bulk fruit shipment. While the 500 growers resisted passively, others rushed to Vernon, thirty miles distant, roused Judge Swanson and secured an Injunction preventing shipper and two railways from moving fruit in contravention of the board's "orderly marketing" rules.

Rail Strike Authorized. Montreal, Sept. 29. - With their hands strengthened by a vote among about 30,000 members empowering a strike, leaders of the railway running trades tonight were considering the next step in their fight against a second 10 per cent, cut in basic wage rates.

Since the tabulation of the vote was completed yesterday, the twenty- one General Chairmen and five union Vice-Presidents have been in conference behind closed doors. Announcement of the result of the strike ballot was made today after the rail- ways were first notified as a courtesy, but the figures for and against were not revealed. The bare announcement that the men had given the union leaders power to call a strike was not accompanied by any statement as to future action. although rumors about their headquarters were that another wage conference would be held shortly with railway heads.

Lines Not Surprised. From the railways no comment was forthcoming. The result of the vote probably occasioned little surprise, however, as it had been freely predicted for several days.

If further efforts to settle the question amicably should fail, the union heads would have to decide the date of the strike and make other preparations. The question of whether railway workers outside the running trades would join in a walkout would be considered. A co-operative association of railway labor unions has been formed to deal with this, among other questions.

The second cut in basic rates went into effect on May 1. A previous cut of 10 per cent., while not involved in the strike vote, is still subject to dispute, and a test case is being started in the courts to collect the deductions made after Feb. 1, 1933, on - which date the men claim their agreement for a reduced wage expired. Union men declined today to say whether the vote had been communicated to the Dominion Government.

Companies to Reply. Edmonton, Sept. 29. - "It is quite correct. The railways have taken cognizance of the communication and will make their reply in a few days. That is all it possible for me I to say just now," said E. W. Beatty, President of the Canadian Pacific Railway, today when shown a report from Montreal saying officials of the railway running trades unions had notified the companies they had been authorized by their members to call a strike.
