Terin sees the chest was blinking and tries to see what he could discern about it.
Discord slings the pilot onto her back "Back off. It's ours now." She gets ready to leave.
A bit grabby and possessive, aren't you? he thought, a bit annoyed by that.
"I think you would find it more beneficial if we all worked together on this." Terin said, "We don't even know why its chest is glowing."
He moves to try to get a closer look at the robot.
OOC: Seeing that Laurel's eyes could likely identify why it was blinking, could I get an explanation?
IC: "Actually, the blinking means that it belongs to the two of us," Laurel states, standing firm beside Discord. I'm sorry, what was your name again?
"Says who?" Terin asks, "For all we know, it could be a tracking beacon for rescue teams."
"For all you know, it could be nothing," she counters. "So let's think about this in a different scenario: this is an actual pilot. Their aircraft just crashed, they're hurt and scared, and finally somebody shows up to help them. Except those people are kids that can't do anything except squabble over who gets the honor of saving them. Meanwhile, not only is this pilot injured, there are one or more other pilots out in the woods, just waiting to be rescued. So yes we should work together, which means splitting up. You and Nightshade over there get along well, and the two of us get along well. She already has the pilot, so we will deliver the pilot to safety while the two of you look for the other one. Clear?"
"If a person is injured, isn't it top priority to treat those injuries before moving them?" Terin asked.
"I checked for that already. Unconscious, but safe to be moved. Meanwhile, you're wasting time questioning my judgement while you should be looking for the other pilot."
"We don't know anything about how to find other pilots; this one could yield some useful info to help us find others." Terin said, his tone getting close to a growl.
"Did you miss the unconscious part? No information from someone that isn't awake." Laurel's tone remains light and factual, like discussing the weather.
Terin was getting annoyed, "This pilot is a robot; you can get information even when unconscious by connecting to the memory systems."
"And how often do you think you'll be working with robot pilots?" she counters.
Discord shrugs "Disp." She starts carrying the robot on her shoulder ignoring the argument.
"Stop right there," he said, "if we split up like this, we may find ourselves biting off more than we can chew."
Laurel shrugs. "I'm confident we can handle it. See you when you have the other pilot." She turns and follows Disp.
"You may be making things worse for yourselves; this place is crawling with Grimm." He said.
Okay, how the heck does a King Taijitu move? The ends are completely independent from each other. he questioned in his head out semi-randomly.
The blinking light was also a button.
Kuro shurgged, "Fine, at least we know what we're looking for now." She started to walk away as well.

'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is an eBook in ''Deus Ex: Human Revolution''. It is located in Picus Communications (Online News Division, floor level 4) in the easternmost room.
By Hugh Darrow
Excerpt from an article first published in The New Cybernetics & Robotics Journal (Feb/March Edition, 2016).
But of course, it's pointless designing these kinds of desktop wonders if the actual device is incapable of operating in the real world, without recourse to an infinite supply of battery packs or power generation vectors. What powers the human machine? That's where must look in order to power the next generation of cybernetic augmentation technologies - until such times as we can create small, light weight energy cells capable of running far beyond the lifetime of our products, we fall short.
An energy conversion device is the answer; on the scale we're capable of manufacturing now, I'm confident we can create a unit small enough to be implanted, powerful enough to make the best use of chemical energy found in a human body. We do this by mimicking the human digestive process, improving upon the natural method of nutrient conversion from, say a liquid slurry - perhaps some form of organic protein matrix - directly to chemical potential; the capability also exists to derive neurochemical-specific energy signifiers.

After the trailer of the first DLC of ''Deus Ex: Human Revolution'' named The Missing Link, the http://deusex.com/ official website of the game has been updated with some new information. The official description:
''The Deus Ex: Human Revolution conspiracy grows deeper in The Missing Link. During Adam's quest for the truth in Deus Ex: Human Revolution, he mysteriously vanishes for three days. Where was he? What did he find out? The Missing Link reveals it all.''
''After being tortured by Belltower agents and having his augmentations disabled, Adam Jensen must rely solely on his basic capabilities to escape from a freighter, destined for an unknown location. While fighting for his survival on the ship, he uncovers another layer to the conspiracy that he never would have suspected. As Adam, befriend new, mysterious allies and fight ruthless enemies to discover what was happening in the shadows during the events of Deus Ex: Human Revolution!''
After this attractive description, here's a summary of the announced new features of The Missing Link:
*At the beginning of The Missing Link, Adam is stripped of his use of his mechanical augmentations, allowing the player to remake his character as he wishes with the same total level of praxis kit he had before
*Add some new elements to the main plot
*New characters linked to the main plot
*New environments
Also David Anfossi, producer of ''Deus Ex: Human Revolution'', add some comments about The Missing Link:
{{Quote|Gamers will be able to experience a vulnerable side of Adam like never before, which gives the overall game a whole new dimension. 'The Missing Link' propels players into compelling gameplay, beginning with Adam being temporarily stripped of his use of augmentations; new, visually stunning environments; and the continuation of Deus Ex: Human Revolution's conspiracy-rich story.}}
The Missing Link will be available next month in October for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.
For now the pricing for The Missing Link is unknown (it will probably be $9.99 like most DLC add-ons). Anyway, be sure to stay tuned for any new information!

Background: The United States Forest Service (USFS) is an agency of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. As such, it relies on the expertise of thousands of professionals who each play a different role in administering the nation's 154 national forests and 20 national grasslands, which in total encompass 193 million acres.
Situation: Amidst the Forest Plan Revision process, the leadership for one of the National Forest Regional Headquarters was seeking to build a high performing staff to drive organizational excellence. The Forest Plan Revision process was inducing high stress and exposing departmental silos and poor communication. Select members of the staff were participating in this four-year planning process to revise the Forest Plan, which was aimed at providing the guidelines for the management and utilization of the forest's natural resources. The planning was being conducted by an Inter-Disciplinary Team (IDT), which consisted of numerous resource specialists including core forest-level staff members and extended team members consisting of district personnel and contractors. All stakeholders were experts in their respective areas yet operated in silos and were protective of their resources; thus, increasing the difficulty of functioning as a high performing team on the project. Additionally, this organization was leading other forests in the revision process and was required to not only utilize guidance from the National Office but remain as consistent as possible with other forests. Accordingly, building a team of people from different organizations, with different areas of expertise, experience, and values, offered significant organizational performance challenges.
Solution: To enhance staff performance of the IDT during the Forest Plan Revision, HigherEchelon implemented a personalized two-day workshop based on the principles of our Resilient and Adaptable Leader© program. The workshop was then reinforced through additional training, virtual coaching for core leaders, a one-day realignment session with the entire IDT, and a one-day wrap up and refresher session. We recommended this approach because a stand-alone training session would likely have been ineffective in generating long-term change and increased performance. Our multi-pronged approach, which included observation, small group workshops, team building, and coaching served as an iterative process aimed at compensating and adjusting as the demands and challenges changed over time. The purpose of the program was to enhance overall performance, teamwork, and leadership capabilities of the cross-functional IDT while collaborating on the Forest Plan Revision.
Impacts: After the year-long engagement, HigherEchelon enhanced the performance of the IDT by increasing productive communication across resource specialties and improving team functioning. As a result, the IDT brought together a disparate team of experts who worked together to meet the milestones established for the project. Lastly, HigherEchelon outlined developmental plans going forward to leverage the foundation of high-performance skills, broaden the focus of individual team members to develop and cultivate a strong organization, build positive coalitions with other forest agencies and the surrounding community, and enhance the team's ability to lead through and manage change.

Omur Sezerman, President, OZ Optics, provided the following testimonial letter regarding their experience with a CO2 composite spray cleaning system for cleaning electro-optical devices during manufacturing.
"I want to thank you for introducing the CO2 composite spray cleaning technology to OZ Optics, Limited (OZ Optics). OZ Optics is a leading worldwide supplier of fiber optic products for existing and next-generation optical networks. In addition to designing and manufacturing components and test equipment for fiber optic markets, the company has also been very active in developing fiber optic sensors for remote monitoring of oil pipelines, wells, bridges, dams, airplanes, and other large structures.
We have determined that CO2 composite spray cleaning technology is very useful as an alternative to alcohol and manual wipe cleaning techniques to remove polishing residues, dust particles and fingerprints from our optical components during manufacturing and test operations. We have successfully used this technology in combination with custom fixtures to develop proprietary cleaning processes for several of our commercial products. These have included polished fiber optical surfaces, lenses and optomechanical assemblies. CO2 composite spray cleaning is used to enhance light transmittance, increase power handling of high powered laser optics, prepare surfaces for optical coating, and to ensure long term stability and functionality of critical optical components.
The CO2 composite spray cleaning technology minimizes the use of organic cleaning solvents and other conventional optical cleaning products. The technology eliminates smearing and re-deposition of cleaning residues and can clean a variety of fiber and lens geometries. Our traditional optical device cleaning method uses an ultrasonic bath, which typically employs several steps including rinsing and drying. With the new dry, non-contact CO2 composite spray cleaning process, precision cleaning time has been reduced from 10% to 40% depending upon the particular component cleaning application.
In closing, the CO2 composite spray cleaning technology has been a very positive addition to our optical device manufacturing line, providing superior cleaning performance, decreasing the cost of production, and contributing to a cleaner working environment. We look forward to purchasing additional CO2 precision cleaning equipment from your organization."

DoverTech-Weldcraft manufactures welding equipment, which includes precision machining processes that produce contaminated subassemblies.
"Like many companies, we were faced with the challenge of replacing our conventional vapor degreaser," stated Paul Lien of Dover Tech-Weldcraft Corporation (Burbank, CA). "Initially we looked into water-based cleaning, thinking it was the obvious solution to our cleaning problems. We tested several aqueous-base systems and found they did a good job."
"There were three main concerns with aqueous cleaning systems. The first concern was how to deal with the waste. We operate in a city that demands strict adherence with the air and water municipality's disposal guidelines. The second concern was the increase in maintenance costs of both the water-based equipment and all the support equipment. The third concern was bath life and bath maintenance. We also realize that current wastewater disposal regulations are subject to change at any time."
"We clean our parts in preparation for brazing and/or molding operations and, as such, cannot tolerate any residue/oil. We require consistently clean parts all day, every day, without an on-board chemist checking pH and concentration of the aqueous solutions. When we were introduced to a dry cleaning process that uses LCO2, Our initial thought was 'Even if it worked, could we afford it?' Well, as it turned out, we could not afford to not have it."
Lien explained that his company first tested an LCO2 cleaning system four years ago. "Our goal was to eliminate the use of pollution-generating cleaning processes," he remarked. "We found the LCO2 cleaning process to be more effective, extremely consistent, and less costly to operate than our TCA solvent process and the alternate aqueous systems we initially considered.
"Our analysis involved a detailed comparison of both capital equipment and ongoing operational costs of the various systems being considered. Our analysis confirmed that although the LCO2 system was more capital-intensive than the water-based option, the operational cost difference between the two provided the necessary justification for the purchase of the LCO2 equipment. The operational cost difference between the LCO2 and water-based process was significant at approximately $2500 per month. After much testing and cost analysis, we purchased an LCO2 system for our production operation.
"Four years ago we implemented the technology and, after some initial startup glitches, we have run successfully ever since. Our production demand requires us to clean medium-size brass and copper components 17 hours a day, 6 days a week. Our monthly operational cost to run the LCO2 system is approximately $450. To date, we have experienced no real down-time with the LCO2 system. Our concerns regarding bath maintenance were resolved since the LCO2 process does not degrade over time. And finally, we now generate no pollution related to cleaning processes and enjoy consistently clean product on a daily basis."

Wins out over aqueous…
Gary Knoth, Senior Contamination Control Engineer, WDC, provided the following input for a technical paper published in the IEST Journal.
Advanced carbon dioxide (CO2) composite spray cleaning has been shown to be an effective alternative to traditional spray and immersion cleaning processes, as well as conventional snow cleaning, for selectively removing contaminants and films from partially assembled hard disk drive (HDD) components during the remanufacturing or rework process. CO2 consumption is reduced significantly using a composite spray while spray cleaning control and performance is improved. CO2 composite spray cleaning performance is dependant upon the position, speed and motions of the spray applicator, and are matched to comply with HDD factory output. Stored spray cleaning programs deliver precise cleaning 7 days a week, 24 hours per day with uptimes exceeding 99.9% over a six month period. Monitoring and controlling composite spray cleaning process parameters including spray pressure and composition, scanning speed, and pallet/part identification are all done automatically. Operator interaction is limited to loading and unloading pallets for continuous system operation.

Leaner, cleaner disk drives…
Bill Fisch of AccraTronics Seals Corporation, a contract machining company, found the LCO2 process to be a "perfect fit" for his company's cleaning requirements.
"Our cleaning requirements are basic: clean enough for inspection and for further processing internally or at various vendors," stated Fisch. "We have used TCA and, because of serious environmental issues in our area that have proven to be very expensive over many years, we wanted a cleaning system with zero environmental concerns."
"We manufacture hermetically sealed connectors and precision component parts for the ordinance industry. Our components vary in size between 1 and 8 cubic inches. We consumed 55 gallons per month of TCA and, although the material, even at the current rate, is not that expensive, the risks and adjunct costs are exorbitant."
"All existing solvent- or water-based methods require the use of hazardous materials and require permits from water and/or air regulatory agencies," Fisch continued, adding that their LCO2 system does not suffer from any of these deficiencies. We have had a comprehensive number of production parts tested prior to our purchasing the system and found that it meets all of our needs including the elimination of potential etching of aluminum or rusting of steel."
"The mental and financial relief of not having to deal with hazardous materials accidents, against which we can no longer buy insurance, is also of significant importance," Fisch added in closing.
No hazards, no permits…
CP Clare Corporation manufactures and supplies delicate electronic switches and relays for the communication, security, automotive, and medical industries.
"We require the surface of our components to be free of particles, trace residues, and oxides prior to high vacuum sputtering," stated Mike Keys, senior manufacturing engineer. "In the past, we used conventional CFCs and needed to eliminate them due to environmental regulations. For the most part, the old system worked well; however, occasionally the solvent became contaminated and created problems."
CP Clare was using a drum of solvent per week at a cost of $1,500.00 and an equal cost to dispose of the spent cleaning agent. In addition to that, the company incurred an expense in maintaining a special environment for the cleaning system.
"We found that the ultrasonic solvent process had difficulty breaking the bond of the particle from the substrate," remarked Keys. "However, the CO2 composite spray cleaning process, being velocity-based, proved to do a much better and more consistent job for us.
"Another problem that was cured was the issue of re-deposition of contamination due to drag-out from one tank to the next. In general, we chose CO2 composite spray cleaning because of its momentum transfer capability. It also saves us time, money, and is more consistent than our old process. We even noticed that our product's electrical characteristics improved with CO2 spray cleaning, and carbon dioxide is flat out cheap compared to chemical processes.
"Another benefit is that we do not require any special emissions control area as we did with the solvent process," Keys continued. "So we clean and go straight into our vacuum system. In my opinion, the system is simple to operate. We worked with the process parameters in the beginning until we were satisfied, and now it's as easy as pushing a button, walking away from the process, and coming back when it's finished. Our CO2 composite spray cleaning process is twice as fast as the old Freon process, with less operator interference and maintenance."
Keys went on to state that the CO2 composite spray cleaning system is also extremely flexible. By adjusting flow rates, the company has been able to minimize consumables. Because CP Clare devices are prone to electrostatic discharge (ESD), the (optional) built-in ionization process that is part of the CO2 composite spray cleaning system was a valuable feature for their particular application.

Cleaner relays…
Victor Wagner of Therm-O-Disc, Incorporated, a subsidiary of Emerson Electric, describes his company's experience with a centrifugal liquid carbon dioxide cleaning system for removing silicone thermal test fluids from bi-metal disks.
"We went on-line in our London, Kentucky, facility on December 1, 1997," said Wagner. "The assemblies we clean are electrical switch components with silver contacts. The contacts tend to attract contaminates during the manufacturing and assembly processes, and, if improperly cleaned, will result in a rejected component. The LCO2 cleaning system was acquired to replace vapor degreasing units. "Our process engineers tested many alternatives to solvent cleaning," Wagner remarked. "Based on the cleanliness results, operating costs, and environmental benefits, they felt the CO2 cleaning system presented an excellent opportunity for us to move away from chemicals into a dry cleaning process with no future environmental risks. The system cleans our parts as good as or better than our past vapor degreasing process."
"Since going on-line we have not encountered any significant maintenance problems with the CO2 system. The typical maintenance situation involves the replacement of "O" ring seals in the two pumps. We drive the pumps with nitrogen gas generated from an on-site liquid nitrogen tank. Currently, we consume approximately 600 pounds of CO2 every 10-14 days-depending on production-and have no disposal or environmental concerns related to our cleaning process (average cost of CO2 is $0.14 per pound)."
In summary, Wagner stated that his company is "very pleased" with their transition to LCO2 cleaning. "I should add that we found the system to be very operator-friendly," he noted. "We have trained five different operators, and none of them had any trouble learning the functions and cleaning procedures."
Making the switch for switch components…
Roy Sakaida, Supervising Water Resource Control Engineer, CRWQCB, provided a letter following a visit in 1994 to observe a live demonstration of one of the first commercial centrifugal liquid CO2 cleaning systems at Haskel International, Inc.
"Thank you for the invitation to the demonstration of your CO2 Cleaning System."
"The system appears to be useful for replacing organic-solvent based cleaning of a variety of materials. Since CO2 is the only discharge to the environment and any contaminant removed from products in the cleaning process can be collected for proper disposal, there should be no problem with respect to requirements of this Board if the system is operated properly."

Does not pollute our drinking water…
Marek Dragon, contamination control engineer for Xolox Corporation, has good things to say about CO2 composite spray cleaning technology.
"We provide crash stop and actuator assemblies to the hard disk drive industry," explained Dragon. "Because our components go into hard disk drives, they must be very clean. We have different requirements for different parts. For example, a significant portion of our parts are allowed to have 250,000- to 0.5- micron particles (or smaller). However, our requirements for other parts, such as our magnetic parts, are more stringent. Our requirement for allowable magnetic particles is basically zero."
According to Dragon, the company routinely subjects parts to particle- counting tests to confirm cleanliness. Parts are also subject to a nonvolatile residue test (NVR). Two to three micrograms of NVR per square centimeter is the upper limit.
"In the past, we attempted to use compressed ionized air to remove particles," Dragon stated. "We found the ionized air process to be effective at removing the larger particles, but ineffective at removing the smaller particles. It was totally ineffective at removing the magnetically charged particles. A few years ago we found the CO2 composite spray cleaning process to be very effective at removing all particles, including magnetically charged submicron particles."
According to Dragon, the new process is meeting company requirements at approximately 3 to 5 seconds per piece. The system has also proven itself easily adaptable to the automated processes within the operation and is used for many different applications.
"The CO2 used in the system is a recycled by-product, so for us there are no environmental concerns associated with the process," remarked Dragon. He added, however, that "since CO2 has the ability to deplete oxygen, you do need to consider the area of use."
Xolox put a CO2 composite spray cleaning system into their operation and currently use it approximately 4 to 24 hours per day, depending on production. "When properly applied with the appropriate fixturing, we could reduce our scrap rate by 90 percent," claimed Dragon. "That translates into a good yield improvement."
Breaking the bonds…
Litton Guidance and Controls manufactures advanced inertial navigation and guidance systems for military and commercial aviation industries.
"At Litton, one product we produce is the accelerometer assembly for inertial navigation and guidance systems in missiles and aircraft," said Bob Bauman, manufacturing/process engineer for Litton Guidance and Controls.
"Within the accelerometer there is a strong magnet that attracts metallic particles, and there are small gaps between moving parts within the instrument. This particulate contamination is devastating to the performance of the instrument and was the largest cause for accelerometer failures during testing. We can tolerate no particulate contamination on the magnet prior to, or after, assembly."
According to Bauman, the company had previously used chemical sprayers to try to remove the particulates. While the sprayers worked well on residue-type contamination and loose foreign material, they were relatively in effective in removing particulates held by the magnetic field. "We resorted to hand cleaning particles out manually using sticky picks, which was time consuming and inconsistent," Bauman stated. "During our evaluation of the new options, we came across the CO2 composite spray cleaning process, and it is the best particulate removal method we have found."
"With the CO2 composite spray cleaning system, Litton Guidance and Controls consumes approximately 50 pounds of CO2 every 10 to 14 days, depending on production. The management team has found the new system to be cost effective as well as user friendly. Regarding cycle time, a sub-assembly (containing three magnets, other components, nooks, and crannies) can now be cleaned in less than one minute compared with the 10 to 15 minutes it once took by hand."
"We had not been able to achieve the same result with the other cleaning methods, especially cleaning the magnetically held particles. We had established that particulate contamination was the primary cause of the failures and are convinced the yield improvement is significant," concluded Bauman.
Accelerating particle removal…
Robert Chittick of C-MAC Quartz Crystals, located in Essex, England, describes his company's experience with a CO2 composite spray cleaning unit for removing submicron particles from piezoelectric crystal resonators during production.
Quartz crystal resonators (QCRs) are used in a myriad number of electronic devices and applications requiring precise timing. QCRs vibrate at a fixed frequency when electrically excited. QCR contamination results in poor stability and aging characteristics, and produces an effect called drive level dependence (DLD). This means the activity of the QCR is non-linear with the applied drive level, and in extreme cases may not oscillate at all. This is commonly called a sleeping crystal. Thus removal of surface contaminations is critical to the functionality of QCRs and successful removal to produce a qualified timing device is indicative of successful removal of submicron contamination. C-MAC tests proved that the CO2 composite spray technology could successfully reduce or eliminate DLD without damage to delicate QCRs. Moreover the CO2composite spray cleaning technique allows for cleaning immediately following plating in their original containers, improving productivity of the cleaning operation.

Movie Review: 10 Cloverfield Lane
by Sherry Lipp
WARNING: CONTAINS SPOILERS
The less you know about 10 Cloverfield Lane the more fun it will be to watch. The film relies on the viewer knowing no more than its protagonist Michelle (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) as the story moves along. Producer J.J. Abrams has called 10 Cloverfield Lane a "blood relative" of the 2008 monster movie Cloverfield, but it is not a direct sequel. This film is more of a psychological thriller than strict horror and in that respect the film does a good job. It's only when it dips back into its monster movie roots that it falters.
After Michelle wakes up in a barren concrete room following a car accident she is faced with the end of her world as she knows it. Her captor, or rescuer as he puts it, Howard (John Goodman), tells her there has been some kind of massive attack that has killed everybody she knows and contaminated the air. Howard's story is confirmed by his other bomb-shelter guest Emmett (John Gallagher Jr.), a contractor who helped Howard build the place. Emmett headed straight there at the first sign of the apocalypse, a bright red light unlike anything he'd ever seen before.
Michelle finds it all hard to believe, but when she's confronted with what seems like irrefutable truth she settles in. 10 Cloverfield Lane is a testament to the human ability to adapt to any situation. Maybe Michelle hadn't planned on living with a couple of strangers in a bunker that she can't get out of, but she had been trying to get away from it all. Maybe that's part of the reason she's so willing to accept her situation. Right before the accident she had left her boyfriend and was headed off to a new life. A new life is exactly what she got.
As far as being trapped goes, it's not so bad. They have plenty of food, a bathroom, a shower, television, and even a jukebox that spits out golden oldies on a regular basis. The problem is Howard seems just a little off-kilter. He's always talking about his long lost daughter Megan and it starts to become clear he thinks of Michelle as a surrogate. The question becomes whether Howard is just a survivalist who is very well-prepared or is he holding Michelle and Emmett hostage.
Despite the dead pigs in the yard, and the sickly neighbor who comes pounding at their door, Howard's end of the world story becomes harder and harder to believe. Bit by bit, the threat inside the shelter starts to become greater than the one outside and Michelle is faced with an impossible dilemma. She needs to get out, but has no idea what the outside world holds.
The film expertly builds tension and creates an unnerving situation that seems impossible to get out of. The suspense is in how Michelle will get herself out of this, if she even can. Goodman does an excellent job of balancing his weirdness with rationality that it's impossible to know exactly where he's coming from.
It's a fun ride until the end when the film becomes something else entirely. We know something's going on and that's fine. Aliens have taken over and are spraying some kind of chemical through the air to kill the surviving humans. That's all we really need to know. After everything we've just been through, seeing Michelle fight aliens seems tacked on and pointless. Personally, I don't think the alien thing fits this movie at all, but if it had to be there, then I think something a little more simple would have worked better. Maybe she finds a way to escape and then gets to make the same decision to join the rebellion at the end.
Ending aside, 10 Cloverfield Lane is a fun movie to watch and still do recommend it. It's not as high of a recommendation as it would have had if it wasn't for the ridiculous ending, but still worth the time.

Sex offender with 'misogynistic views' jailed for violent attacks on two women
Sex offender jailed for violent attacks on two women in Tottenham
By Ann Yip ann_yip Audience and content editor / Follow me: facebook.com/annyipjournalist
A sex offender with a "deep-seated hatred towards women" - according to a detective - has been jailed for attacks on two women.
Mentesnot Cheru, 29, of Winchelsea Road, Tottenham, carried out both attacks within minutes of each other earlier this year and both women were walking along or near Philip Lane.
He was sentenced to five years and eight months behind bars at Wood Green Crown Court today (September 11).
Cheru was convicted at Highbury Corner Magistrates Court on June 27 after pleading guilty to two counts of sexual assault and possession of cannabis.
The attacks happened on Thursday, April 4.
At about 10.20am, a 20-year-old woman was walking along Philip Lane before turning left into Clyde Road behind Tottenham Green Pools and Fitness. She then noticed a man running behind her.

Although she thought this was unusual, she believed he was running for cover as it was raining. Moments later, he approached her from behind, sexually assaulted her, and then swore at her.
Cheru punched her around five times, striking her upper body and face. The victim managed to run away but dropped her umbrella as Cheru ran after her.
#JAILED: A quick-thinking member of the public who filmed a suspect fleeing the scene of a sexual attack, and spotted the same man again later – was pivotal in securing the conviction of a vicious man who had a deep-seated hatred towards women.

— Metropolitan Police (@metpoliceuk) September 11, 2019
The incident was witnessed by a driver who chased Cheru, filming him with a mobile phone as he escaped along Clyde Road.
The 20-year-old victim was extremely traumatised and sustained injuries that required hospital treatment.
Cheru's next attack occurred just minutes earlier between 10.15am and 10.20am.

A 27-year-old woman was walking along the same road when the suspect approached her from behind and slapped her hard to her lower body.
She immediately turned around and he punched her on the left side of her face and said "I know you", despite being a stranger. He then ran off towards Tottenham High Road.
Police launched a media campaign to try to locate the sex offender. Mobile phone footage from a member of the public was released which showed the attacker fleeing the scene.
Coincidentally, on May 3, the member of the public that had filmed the attacker was walking along Winchelsea Road when he noticed the same man enter an address. He dialled 999 and officers attended immediately.

Cheru was found inside and was arrested. A search of his flat revealed the exact clothing and sports racket that he was seen with in the mobile phone footage.
The two victims identified him in an identification process.
During interview, Cheru lied and claimed he was elsewhere at the time of the attacks.
But he was charged the following day and was remanded in custody. After being faced with the overwhelming evidence and not being able to provide an alibi, he pleaded guilty on the first day of his trial.

Cheru was given a custodial sentence of two years and eight months, plus a three year extended licence, giving a total sentence of five years and eight months.
He must serve two thirds of his sentence and there was a finding of dangerousness meaning that he cannot be released until the parole board are satisfied he is safe to do so.
He was also ordered to sign the sex offenders register for life.
During the sentencing today, the court heard about Cheru's violent offending history:
He was sentenced three months in a young offender's institution on October 19, 2009 for assaulting two police officers.
Shortly after his release, he attacked a police officer in Croydon, stabbing him in the back with a knife. He was sentenced at Croydon Crown Court to seven years in a young offender's institute on April 6, 2010.
While in prison, he attacked prison officer, and on May 3, 2011, he was ordered to serve twelve weeks of a consecutive sentence.
Cheru was also convicted of exposing himself to a female toilet attendant in Salford, Greater Manchester on January 10, 2016. He was convicted on January 12, 2016 at Manchester and Salford Magistrates Court. He was sentenced to eighteen weeks in prison and ordered to sign the sex offenders register for seven years.
Judge Gregory Perrins told Cheru: "You have a pattern of sexual behaviour which is getting worse. You lack insight and have deeply held misogynistic views. You present a very high risk of sexual re-offending."
Detective Inspector Paul Ridley, from north area criminal investigation department and who led the investigation, said: "It was clear from the outset that we were seeking a vicious and sinister individual, this was made clear by his offending history.
"Cheru has a deep-seated hatred towards women, propensity to commit violence and I am absolutely convinced that he would have struck again. The clear finding of dangerousness in this case was inevitable. He poses a significant risk to the public."
"He targeted lone women thinking that he could get away with his despicable actions.

"I would like to thank the gentleman that came to the aid of the woman being attacked. Rather than just walking by, he stepped in, stopping her from being injured further. He also had the foresight to film Cheru which was crucial as we found all the clothes he was wearing at the time of the attack in his flat. I will be requesting that the gentlemen is formally recognized for his bravery and public spirit.
"I'd also like to reach out to anyone who believes they may have been attacked by Cheru, please come forward to my team in confidence and we will provide you with specialist support."

An international call is a phone call made between two different countries.
How do I make an international call from the United States or Canada?
If you are calling from the United States or Canada to another country you need to dial 011 (the exit code) followed by the country code of the country you are calling. This is then followed by the area code plus the local phone number in the destination country.
The United States, Canada, and a number of Caribbean nations all participate in the North American Numbering Plan. All nations participating in the North American Numbering Plan use the exit code 011.
How do I make a call between the United States and Canada?
Calls made between the United States, Canada and any participating Caribbean nation are the same as making a domestic long distance call. As an example, to make a call from the United States to Canada simply dial 1 + Area Code + Local Phone Number.
How do I make an international call to the United States or Canada?
If you are calling from abroad to the United States or Canada dial your country's exit code + the country code for the United States or Canada which is 1, followed by the area code plus the local phone number. Most countries have a unique country code, however the United States, Canada and any Caribbean nation participating in the North American Numbering Plan are assigned the country code 1.
1. Exit Code - a one to three digit number dialed to call out of a country.
2. Country Code - a one to three digit number dialed to call into a specific country.
3. Area Code - a unique number that defines a specific geographic area within a nation.
4. Local Number - a unique telephone number assigned to a subscriber.
Where can I find the country calling code for another country?
We have a convenient list of Country Calling Codes on our website.
Our original International Calling Tool is easy to use and provides all the information you need in one simple step. You simply select where you are Calling From and where you are Calling To and our "International Calling Tool" will produce the entire dialing instructions for you.

The Six Skills of Extraordinary Entrepreneurs
Ballroom G
Each of us has the capacity to spot opportunities, invent products, and build businesses, even $100 million businesses. How do some people turn ideas into enterprises that endure?
Amy Wilkinson unlocks the six essential skills that turn small notions into big companies. Her research is based on 200 interviews with today's leading entrepreneurs including the founders of LinkedIn, Chipotle, eBay, Under Armour, Tesla Motors, SpaceX, Spanx, Airbnb, PayPal, JetBlue, Gilt Groupe, Theranos, and Dropbox. From the creators of the companies ranging from Yelp to Chobani to Zipcar, Amy found that entrepreneurial success works in much the same way. Creators are not born with an innate ability to build breakthrough enterprises. They work at it. They all share fundamental skills that can be learned, practiced, and passed on.
In this session, you will learn how to crack the creator's code so that you can best scale your own ideas.

As the NFL considered changing the catch rule, NFL Senior Vice President of Officiating Al Riveron said the Competition Committee reverse-engineered the process to ensure language would turn catches like Jesse James' overturned TD versus the Patriots into receptions.
After the league officially announced the new rule, the change didn't make the Pittsburgh Steelers tight end feel any better about his reversed potential game-winning score.
"It should have been a touchdown either way," James told the team's official website on Tuesday. "Whether it was the old rule, or this new rule. To reverse something on review it has to be clear cut. I feel like they didn't do a good job on that. It's nice to have the rule clearer.
"Clarification is good for the officials. The past few years it's been clear they don't know what they are calling. Game-to-game you see a different catch that should have been ruled a catch, or a catch that wasn't ruled a catch the week before. It's good to have a little bit more clarification to make it easier for the officials to make the right call.
"As long as the officials are calling it fair throughout, week-to-week, game-to-game, team-to-team. As long as it's all called fair it works for me. It's football. It's never going to change. There is human error all over the place. To make it simpler for the officials is always good."
James' catch was overturned after replay deemed he didn't control the ball as he hit the turf, despite the TE crossing the end zone. The NFL eliminated the 'going to the ground' portion of the rule that frustrated so many players and fans.
"The rule still sounds about the same," James told Steelers.com. "I don't look too much at the rule book, I just play the game. It sounds to me what a catch was, hopefully there is more clarification for the officials. They needed that to be able to make the right call."

This pretty gemstone ring has a modern yet organic style to it. Unique because it's handmade in my studio- you won't see anything like this ring anywhere else. I hand fabricated the original model using metalsmithing techniques. Then I had it cast into 100% recycled sterling silver and set a 5mm square cushion amethyst in the center. I oxidized and gently polished it to ring out the texture.

Dorothea Annie Hoffert (29 January 1893 – 1969) was a scientist who worked on aircraft dope and later oils and fats at the Lister Institute.

The elder daughter of Henry Hoffert, a senior inspector of schools for the Board of Education, she was married to Sir Samuel Bedson FRS with whom she had three sons, the second being the virologist professor Henry Bedson.

Early life and education
Dorothea Annie Hoffert was born on 29 January 1893, in Ealing, to Hermann Henry Hoffert, a senior inspector of schools for the Board of Education, and Annie Ward.

She attended Manchester High School for Girls, before gaining admission to study chemistry at Girton in 1910. In 1914, she received her Dip.Ed. from the University of Manchester, after having transferred there the previous year. Subsequently, she became junior science mistress at Bede School for Girls, Sunderland.

Career
She joined the Food Investigation Board of the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research in 1916, as part of the War effort. She also worked on aircraft dope and varnishes. After the War, she sat the final exam for painters' oils, colours and varnishes and received the silver medal, following which she returned to Cambridge to study chemistry, this time with a grant.

Macropru may affect lending soon
The effects of policies designed to cool the housing market could be felt, not only before they are implemented, but before their details have even been finalised.
The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) and the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) are getting ready to use rules and regulations rather than interest rates to restrict lending.
"What we're aiming to do is rein in lending to the highly speculative part of the market, which is where the risk concentrations are being built up," RBA assistant governor Malcolm Edey told a Senate committee on Tuesday.
Both Dr Edey and Luci Ellis, head of the RBA's financial stability department, repeatedly referred to the build-up of risk in the Sydney and Melbourne property markets, driven by unusually high levels of lending to investors.
Macroprudential policy or "macropru" as it's called, is the use of tools designed to stop individual banks and other lenders from failing, but with some larger purpose in mind.
The larger purpose in this case is to stop the surging housing markets in overheated parts of Sydney and Melbourne from surging even further and wreaking havoc among households when the boom goes bust.
Neither Dr Edey nor Dr Ellis would be pinned down on the specifics of any tightening of controls on lending.
The details are still being thrashed out between the RBA and APRA, which has the power to implement the policy.
But make no mistake, macropru is in the pipeline.
"I expect there'll be at least a preliminary announcement before the end of the year," Dr Edey told the committee.
The RBA is clearly shying away from limits on loans with high loan to property valuation ratios (LVRs), an approach used recently in New Zealand where high LVR loans have been more popular.
Perhaps mindful of the experience of NZ, where the lower end of the housing market has been hit hardest by LVR restrictions, Dr Edey ruled out the same approach in Australia.
"That was a pretty clear case because you could see that if you target LVRs you're going to hit a wrong part of the market," he said.
More likely, any approach will use - at least in part - capital adequacy rules to discourage certain types of investment, something hinted at by Dr Ellis.
In the meantime, the investors will have to take on board the strong likelihood that getting access to credit will become more difficult, maybe later this year or at least by early next year.
So will lenders.
And this poses some big questions.
Will there be a rush to borrow and lend while it's still easy, pushing prices up even faster over the coming few months?
Or will investors rush for the exit, dumping their properties onto the market in anticipation of a fall in prices?
If so, then by the time the RBA and APRA have settled on their approach and implemented it, macropru may no longer be necessary.

"My 21st year was about hitting big milestones: graduating, getting a job, moving. This year is about making sure these big changes fit appropriately in my life and that I build upon them rather than stagnating. Graduating doesn't mean I stop learning. Getting a job doesn't mean I stop pushing myself to be better. Moving to a new place doesn't mean I stop traveling. Beyond all of this, I'm excited to see where those I love go in life. Life isn't something that you do alone and I'm lucky to know some incredible people that make my life well worth it." Excerpt from last year's post.
Wow – 22 definitely involved settling into some big changes and making some new ones. I haven't stopped learning. I haven't stopped growing as a person and as an employee. I haven't stopped traveling. I still have those people in my life who make the chaos of change worth it. 22 was exhausting in many ways too (in the best way). I co-started an event series with Google to help LGBT organizations – since my 22nd birthday we've held 4 of these events with 2 more coming up. I've been so honored to get a glimpse into the wonderful LGBT organizations around the world. At the end of each event, I nearly cry looking out at all of these hardworking, dedicated folks who have helped me as an LGBT person thrive in the world today. I owe so much to so many.
I went to the World Cup and was there when the US won in the finals. I walked the field as the players warmed up and held the same game ball that Carli Lloyd would drive into the goal three times.
I lost my dear dog who, at 14, I still lovingly referred to as "puppy". Going home just isn't the same now that I no longer see his happy face watching me walk up the front steps.
I traveled the world – I've lost track of how many places I've gone. My comfort zone has expanded considerably as a result. My memories are scattered far and wide – I've surrendered to trying to collect all of them.
Simply put – I loved and I lost. I have no regrets.
I accepted the challenge of being a team lead at Automattic. I'm learning what it means to lead a team, create a vision, help individuals succeed, embrace mistakes, measure success, and foster cross team connections.
I think going into 22, I didn't imagine that I'd have to make more big life decisions and go through another round of big life changes. I thought that was behind me with moving, graduating, and generally being thrust into the adult world. I don't think I realized how many crossroads I would run into in the year ahead.
I'm so thankful for 22 even though it has been such an unexpected year. I can think of a thousand lessons I've learned. I think 22 really solidified my belief in giving 100% to whatever it is you are doing in the moment whether that's a job, a relationship, a city, etc. You learn way more diving into the deep end instead of just dipping your toes in the water. I learned that you have to have your own back. I learned that we're all doing the best we can with what we have. I learned that you create your own reality when it comes to your life and those in it – the reality you created isn't always necessarily true though. I learned that I am more adaptable than I ever thought possible. I learned how important love is to me. I learned that someone's instagram account may look perfect but that that may be the only thing that is in their life. I learned that travel is way more fun when you're with someone you care about. I learned that space is sometimes the right answer. I learned that it doesn't matter how many years have passed, there's always time to reconnect with someone.
To the people who saw me through this past year and brought me so much happiness, thank you. I am better for it.
I'm lucky to have another year here. Heading into 23, I feel more experienced and more understanding of how the real world works. I feel like I have a better grasp on how to achieve the life I want for myself. I'm getting more comfortable with not always having a purpose behind doing something and to generally go with the flow. I'm realizing I can let loose a bit more and that I can be hard working without taking on everything that comes my way. I'm learning the subtleties of when to "yes" and "no". I'm learning how to be my own friend and how to change the way I talk to myself.
I don't know what to expect out of this year. Ideally, I'd love to pick a place to stay more long term to live. I could also see myself loving the nomad life for another year. Who knows! I don't and I'm not worried about figuring it out. More than anything, I want to keep accepting challenges and to continue to seek out pure fun. I want to become more "grey". I want to learn that I can be a good person and still refuse to let myself be mistreated or taken advantage of. I want to leave myself open to impromptu adventures with random loved ones. I want to create my own adventures with the people I care about. I want to continue to give back to the communities that helped get me here. I want to continue to carve out my identity as an employee at Automattic. I want to meet and love new people. I want to expand my comfort zone tremendously. I want to understand myself more and to really get a good grasp on what it is that sets my heart on fire. I want to continue to write, read, and process everything that happens around me. I want to continue to create a healthier relationship with technology. I want to continue to invest deeply in those I love.
I don't have an overarching vision of where I will be in 365 days. I don't have set goals that I want to achieve (these kinds of goals feel like ego boosting checkboxes anyway). I don't have a clue where the chaos may take me next in terms of my location, my life, my job, and my love. For the first time in a long time, I'm okay with not having a game plan and with trusting the work I've put into my life to this point. In fact, the challenge of not deciding and planning my life out excites me. I feel that as I loosen my grip on concepts like materialism for example, I'm gaining a stronger grasp on who I am as a person. To close, I know what I want to learn and those themes to me are more important than any quantitative benchmark I could put on my life right now. 23, I'm ready for whatever it is you throw my way. I will do my best to embrace this year with openness, a passionate sense of adventure, a full heart, and a curious mind.

Meet Charity Zormelo, The First Woman To Graduate From University In Ghana
ByOMGVoice Staff
According to details on ghanaianmuseum.com, Charity Fiawoo was born in 1904 at Keta in the Volta region. Her father, Godfred Nyavor Zormelo, worked as a former North German mission employee and proprietor in the fishing business in the Gold Coast while her mother, Patience Abolitsi Dzokotoe was a trader.
Charity Fiawoo's educational journey began when started elementary school at the African Methodist Episcopal Zion School.
After completing her studies in 1919, she worked as a teacher for some time before gaining an opportunity to further her education in the United States.
While in the U.S, Charity attended the Borden Town High School and further continued her education at the Hampton Institute where she studied Home Economics.
After this stint, she returned to Ghana and worked as a teacher in Mmofraturo Girls Boarding School at Kumasi in the Ashanti region.
Shortly after, Charity moved to Anloga in the Volta region to become a teacher at the new African University College at the time.
During her time at the college, Charity Fiawoo is said to have influenced many students and people during her teaching years in the Gold Coast.
Together with her husband, she is also credited for using a play entitled 'Toko Atolia' to educate many people.
Charity sadly passed away at the age of 41 on October 14, 1945.


On Tuesday, United States authorities charged numerous mostly Ukrainian hackers for a scheme to trade on press releases that had not yet been released. The Ukrainians breached the SEC's EDGAR database to receive access to the nonpublic information.
The scheme netted over $4.1 million for fraudsters from the U.S., Russia and Ukraine. Using 157 corporate earnings announcements, the group was able to execute trades on material nonpublic information. Most of those filings were "test filings," which corporations upload to the SEC's website before the official post.
The charges were announced Tuesday by Craig Carpenito, U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey, alongside the SEC, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the U.S. Secret Service, which investigates financial crimes. In a Tuesday press conference, Carpenito said the thefts included thousands of valuable, private business documents. "After hacking into the EDGAR system they stole drafts of [these] reports before the information was disseminated to the general public," he said.
he elaborate scheme involved seven individuals and operated from May to at least October 2016. Prosecutors said the traders were part of the same group that previously hacked into newswire services, according to CNBC.
Similar to the way John Podesta's email account was hacked, the hackers used malicious software sent via email to SEC employees. Then, after planting the software on the SEC computers, they sent the information they were able to gather from the EDGAR system to servers in Lithuania, where they either used it or distributed the data to other criminals, Carpenito said. The EDGAR service operates in New Jersey, which is why the Justice Department office in Newark was involved in the case.
Those documents included quarterly earnings, mergers and acquisitions plans and other sensitive news, and the criminals were able to view it before it was released as a public filing, thus affecting the individual companies' stock prices. The alleged hackers executed trades on the reports and also sold them to other illicit traders. One inside trader made $270,000 in a single day, according to Carpenito.
Stephanie Avakian, co-head of the SEC's Division of Enforcement, said the same criminals also stole advance press releases sent to three newswire services, though she didn't name the newswires. The hackers used multiple broker accounts to collect the illicit gains, she said.
The defendants then kicked back a portion of their trading profits to Oleksandr Ieremenko, a Ukrainian (oddly not Russian) hacker that is said to have infiltrated the database at some point between May 2016 in October 2016. There, he obtained thousands of "test filings" which included, among other things, earnings results.


The claim that rugby is the "national sport of Wales" has never really rung true in the North East, where football is much more intertwined into everyday life. Born in Chirk in 1874, Billy Meredith earnt a reputation as one of the earliest superstars of the game, through his performances at Manchester City and United.
The closeness of Liverpool to the North East Wales border and the availability of work led to around 50,000 Welsh people emigrating from Wales to live in Liverpool by the late 19th century. Houses built by the Welsh population and numerous streets in Anfield, Walton and Toxteth still carry Welsh names to this day.
Over the course of the 20th Century the region produced a considerable crop of talented Welsh internationals including Ron Davies, Mike England, Barry Horne, Mark Hughes, Joey Jones, Kevin Ratcliffe, Ian Rush, Gary Speed and Micky Thomas.
Founded in 1864, Wrexham A.F.C. is the oldest club in Wales and third oldest professional club in the world. In addition to the support given to local sides, hundreds of people from the region travel to Merseyside and Manchester to watch games each weekend, continuing the long tradition of close links with North East Wales. For some time, Liverpool was recognised as the "Unofficial Capital of North Wales" on account of these connections.

View source for UMP
Back to page | ← UMP
The UMP is a sub-machine gun in Free Fire. It was made by the same company that made MP5. == History == The UMP (Universale MaschinenPistole or "Universal Machine Pistol") is a blowback-operated submachine gun designed in 1990 and produced in 1999 by Heckler & Koch. The UMP was designed as a successor to H&K's older MP5. The UMP45 variant is chambered in the .45 ACP cartridge and is fed by 25-round box magazines. There are also variants chambered in 9×19mm and .40 S&W, which are the UMP 9 and UMP 40 respectively, and they both use 30-round magazines. The UMP has been adopted by several special military organizations; including''' '''U.S Customs and Border Protection, the Royal Thai Navy SEALs and the Jordanian Special Operations Forces. == Performance == {{Weapon statistics|title1 = UMP|row1 = SMG Ammo|row2 = Muzzle/Silencer Magazine Foregrip Scope|default_mag_capacity = 30|image1 = Freefire 3.png}}The UMP has a very fast fire rate and deals more damage than its sister, the MP5, but it is the recoil that prevents it to be used efficiently at long-range engagements. In close quarters it can performs quite well, able to down a player and kill with ease, shredding through their HP with its sheer fire rate. It is to be noted that the UMP has the second highest fire in Free Fire, number one being the MP40. UMP in Free Fire shows a straight looking magazines indicating that it is the .45 ACP version of the UMP. == Conclusion == It is very good especially at close range due to its high rate of fire and high damage. The UMP can be considered as an alternative to the MP40 at close range engagements.[[Category:Weapons]] {{DEFAULTSORT:UMP}} [[Category:SMG]]

G-Power is going to be tuning up the M6 Hurricane by giving it a 5.0 liter V10 engine – which is similar to the one that they gave the M5 Hurricane. Of course there are a few things that are different.
The twin blowers on the car have been set for a lower boost – which is only 6 psi when you compare it to the 10 psi of the M5. However, it still can produce a good 635 bhp at 7300 rpm and 469 pound-foot of torque. This gives the car the ability to go from 0-60 mph in 4.5 seconds and a top speed of 200 mph.
Not one to forget that appearance matters, G-Power also provides a new front and rear fascia, rocker panels, and carbon fiber rear diffuser along with 21-inch wheels that make room for a 15-inch brake system up front. M6 owners can drop off their car at G-Power's German headquarters or can order a fully assembled car starting at a mere 183,000 Euros.
