CrimeRe: Man Raped Over 100 Men In 12years, Caught And Jailed For Life In U.k.(Pics) by Explorers(op): 12:45pm On Jan 07, 2020
Reynhard Sinaga, 36, is believed to have attacked at least 195 men and was convicted of drugging 48 of them and filming himself sexually violating them while they were unconscious in his Manchester flat.



Sinaga, 36, will approach men in the early hours of the morning outside nightclubs in Manchester, striking up a conversation and offering them somewhere to sleep or promising them more alcohol.

Once he had brought them to his flat he would lace their drink with a drug most likely GHB, then film himself raping them while they slept.


Sinaga's attacks only came to light after an 18-year-old victim woke up at 6 a.m. while being assaulted.

The victim managed to fight him off, and crucially was able to grab Sinaga's white iPhone before leaving the apartment.

He went to police, who discovered 3.29 terabytes of graphic material on Sinaga's phone the equivalent to 250 DVDs.


In some cases the assaults lasted hours, with one particular attack taking place for eight hours.

Sinaga's victims, who were often students, were seen snoring and in some cases vomiting while Sinaga raped them, Britain's Crown Prosecution Service said.

When a groggy victim was starting to wake, Sinaga would push them back to the floor to continue his assault, or snatch away his phone to avoid suspicion.

CrimeMan Raped Over 100 Men In 12years, Caught And Jailed For Life In U.k.(Pics) by Explorers(op):
The most prolific rapist ever caught in Britain, who spent more than a decade luring dozens of intoxicated young men to his apartment before drugging and sexually assaulting them, has been sentenced to life imprisonment after being found guilty in four separate trials.

Reynhard Sinaga was found guilty of 159 counts of sexual offenses against 48 different men, and must serve 30 years before he is considered for parole.

Police said the true number of his victims is likely to have been higher, having found evidence linking him to assaults on as many as 190 different people.

The Reaper, which became operational in 2007, has a wingspan of 66 feet and a cruising speed of roughly 230 mph.

As of September 2015, the Air Force had 93 MQ-9 Reaper drones in its arsenal.

The 4,900pound (2,200kg) drone can also conduct surveillance, assist in search and rescue missions and allow US forces to “conduct irregular warfare operations,” according to the Air Force, which proposed the system in hopes of ramping up military operations overseas.

With a range of 1,150 miles and the ability to fly at altitudes of 50,000 feet, the MQ-9 Reaper system is an “armed, multi-mission, medium-altitude, long-endurance” remotely piloted aircraft designed primarily for offensive strikes, according to the US Air Force.

“Given its significant loiter time, wide-range sensors, multi-mode communications suite, and precision weapons it provides a unique capability to perform strike, coordination and reconnaissance against high-value, fleeting, and time-sensitive targets,” a fact sheet reads.

Foreign AffairsRe: ‎₦5.8 Billion, MQ-9 Reaper Drone That Took Out General Soleimani In Iraq(Photos) by Explorers(op):
Role: Unmanned combat aerial vehicle

National origin: United States

Manufacturer: General Atomics Aeronautical Systems

First test flight: 2 February 2001; 18 years ago

Introduction/Available: 1 May 2007

Status: In service

Primary users: United States Air Force, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Royal Air Force, Italian Air Force

Number built: 163 as of 2014

Program cost: US$11.8 billion

Unit cost: US$15.9 million (flyaway cost, 2019).

The Flyaway cost is one measure of the cost of an aircraft. It values the aircraft at its marginal cost, including only the cost of production and production tools essential for building a single unit. It excludes sunk costs such as research and development, supplementary costs such as support equipment, and future costs such as spares, parts, and maintenance.




The General Atomics MQ-9 Reaper (sometimes called Predator B) is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) capable of remotely controlled or autonomous flight operations developed by General Atomics Aeronautical Systems (GA-ASI) primarily for the United States Air Force (USAF).

The MQ-9 and other UAVs are referred to as Remotely Piloted Vehicles/Aircraft (RPV/RPA) by the USAF to indicate their human ground controllers.

The MQ-9 is the first hunter-killer UAV designed for long-endurance, high-altitude surveillance.

The MQ-9 is a larger, heavier, and more capable aircraft than the earlier General Atomics MQ-1 Predator.

It can be controlled by the same ground systems used to control MQ-1s.

The Reaper has a 950-shaft-horsepower (712 kW) turboprop.

The greater power allows the Reaper to carry 15 times more ordnance payload and cruise at about three times the speed of the MQ-1.

The aircraft is monitored and controlled by aircrew in the Ground Control Station (GCS), including weapons employment.

PetsRe: Parrot Screams For 'Help', Neighbor Called 911 And Cops Show Up In The U.S(Pics) by Explorers(op):
BluntBoy:
That is why you have to provide correct information when you call 911.

As for response time, it can vary. Sometimes, it can take as long as 48 minutes.

There was a story I read of a woman whose husband called 911 because a strange man was getting violent in front of their house. The police response time was 48 long minutes. The first officer contacted to travel down to the location said he had no car available.

But all in all, they are miles ahead of the Nigeria police force.
48mins, maybe they living far away from civilization.

You call 911, tell them the situation and the address.

They contact the nearest unit to the given address.

It's true that response time varies, Beverly Hills in CA is less than 30seconds and some places will be in minutes.


But a whole 48mins? Very rare.

Jobs/VacanciesFinland To Introduce 4 Days Per Week And 6 Hours Working Day by Explorers(op): 2:20pm On Jan 06, 2020
Finland's new Prime Minister has called for the introduction of a flexible working schedule in the country that would involve a four-day-week and six-hour working day.

Sanna Marin, 34, who is the second youngest head of government in the world said it would allow workers to spend more time with their families.

She said: 'I believe people deserve to spend more time with their families, loved ones, hobbies and other aspects of life, such as culture.

'This could be the next step for us in working life.'

Before Marin became Prime Minister she held a position as the Minister of Transport for Finland.

While in office in that position, Marin advocated for shorter work weeks to improve employee rapport and productivity.

Foreign AffairsU.S. Military Spend ₦7.2trillion Annually On A.C. In Iraq And Afghanistan(2011) by Explorers(op): 6:30am On Jan 06, 2020
Report as at 2011.



It costs $1 billion more than NASA's budget just to provide air conditioning for temporary tents and housing in Iraq and Afghanistan, according to report.

The total cost of keeping troops cool comes to roughly $20 billion. That figure comes from Steve Anderson, a retired brigadier general who was Gen. Petraeus' chief logistician in Iraq.

NASA's total budget is just $19 billion.

The huge cost comes from the fuel used to power the units, according to the report.

Temperature can get as high as 48°C in the afternoon.


Even worse, the trucks used to transport the fuel have also become targets for insurgent IEDs, which leads to casualties in addition to upping the costs.

That cost comes out of the fuel needed to heat and cool tents on the front lines.

However, the trucks that transport this fuel have become targets for IEDs used by the insurgency in Iraq and Afghanistan.

According to Anderson, at least 1000 soldiers have been killed moving fuel.
