The Škoda Yeti (codenamed Typ 5L) is a compact crossover SUV produced by the Czech car manufacturer Škoda Auto and introduced at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show, as the carmaker's first entry into the SUV market. In 2009, the Yeti was awarded Family Car of the Year by Top Gear Magazine.

The Yeti offered an interior configuration marketed as VarioFlex with tilt, recline and tumble seating from its Škoda Roomster predecessor. There are three separate seats with adjustable backrest inclination covering a range of 13.5°.

The Yeti's outer seats can slide backwards and forwards; after the middle seat has been removed, the outer seats can be moved 80 mm (3.15 in) towards the centre, thus creating increased room for two rear passengers — with the possibility of folding the backrest and folding the entire seat forward. Once the seats have been folded over and forward, they can be removed.

Most engines were offered with six speed manual transmissions. A five speed manual was reserved for front wheel drive only cars with the 81 kW TDI engine. The Volkswagen Group seven speed Direct-Shift Gearbox (DSG) was option exclusively for the 1.2 TSI, while the six speed Direct-Shift Gearbox (DSG) was available for the 103 kW (140 PS) two litre common rail diesel engine.

The four-wheel drive variants utilised the fourth generation Haldex Traction multi plate clutch to transmit the drive to the rear wheels, and all drive layouts include fully independent multi link rear suspension first seen on the Volkswagen Golf Mk5 to complement the fully independent front suspension. The all wheel drive Yeti cars featured Off Road button to switch all assistance systems to a special off-road setting, e.g. the accelerator responded less sensitively.

The number of homes broken into across the county in the past three weeks has fallen as Bedfordshire Police continues its campaign of openly disrupting and deterring burglars and handlers as part of its tactic to suppress their offending.

Codenamed Operation Sabre it is designed to target offenders and compliment other activity in force under Operation Peak which looks at hotspots areas of crime and Operation Vision, the crime reduction initiative that regularly tours the county encouraging residents to ‘Stay Safe’.

In the past three weeks 12 people have been arrested for breaking into homes demonstrating the force’s commitment to fighting crime and protecting the public. Chief Inspector Jeff Carter who is leading the dedicated squad of detectives, officers and PCSOs said:

“The work the Operation Sabre team is doing is very direct and intrusive on those committing crime and requires a dedicated group of officers to work 24 hours a day making burglars lives very difficult. Having identified different tiers of offenders who we know are committing, or thinking of committing crime, we are now making sure they know we are watching them. We are randomly following them, knocking on their doors and generally making our presence felt. If it is not them it is their families or neighbours who are very much aware of our tactics and so far this is helping to suppress the offenders’ activities.”

The Operation Sabre team is just one aspect of the force’s fight against burglary. In addition local policing, CID, intelligence gatherers, ANPR and the Roads Policing Unit are all united in the fight against burglary with regular and ongoing enforcement activity targeting this problem. As a result recent figures show an 18% reduction in Domestic Burglary and a 32% reduction in other burglary – the 6th largest and highest reduction respectively recorded in England and Wales.

Chief Inspector Carter added; “We are not complacent and these figures can be reduced still further. However, sustaining this level of monitoring of offenders is a massive commitment but one Bedfordshire Police believes is worthwhile. We urge the public to join us in this crusade by ensuring their home security is as good as it can be as well passing on information they have about those people committing crime.

Other ways to deter burglars include:

• Fit outside security lights and put gates across side passages

• Leave lights and a radio on when you go out

• Double check fences and boundaries for weak spots

• Fit security features such as window locks, patio door locks and a burglar alarm

• Never leave keys under mats and flower pots, it’s the first place burglars look

• Keep an eye out for strangers in your street, especially if they are selling property door to door. If you are suspicious, call the police.

• Help protect your neighbourhood by joining Home Watch, or becoming a co-ordinator.

At Bedfordshire Police our aim is "fighting crime, protecting the public."

We cover 477 square miles, serve a population of around 550,000 and employ in the region of 1,260 Police Officers, 950 police staff and 120 Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs). For more details about the force, visit our website www.bedfordshire.police.uk

The following info is taken from the museum website:-

“In 1953, the Mil OKB 329 Experimental and Construction Bureau got engaged in the development on an anti-submarine helicopter. The designation WM-12 was reserved for it, however the aircraft entered service in 1955 as the Mi-4M. The helicopter's desgin was based on the Mi-4 and the Mi-4A variant. The Mi-4M was intended for the defence of naval bases against attack from the sea and to seek and destroy enemy submarines and surface vessels. The crew consisted of two pilots and a navigator-operator.

Several changes, made necessary by the new radio equipment, were introduced into the design. A bomb bay with a bomb cassette was built-in. The ventral gunner station was replaced by a nacelle for navigator, an operating radar, a magnetometer and a bomb sight. The nacelle could be dropped in emergency. A radar station was placed in front under the nose. At the end of the fuselage, a magnetometer aerial, lowered by a small hand operated (later electrical) crank, were placed.

Due to the helicopter's limited payload, two machines were required to conduct a combat mission. One, acting as a submarine spotter, was equipped with hydro acoustic buoys (the "Baku" system). The other was to attack enemy targets and was armed with depth charges.

The Mi-4 anti-submarine searching equipment fared rather poorly. It was caused by the helicopter's high level noise in the crew stations, high construction vibrations and lack of radar equipment appropriate shielding. In 1959 "Klazma" lowered hydroacoustic station was introduced. In 1961–1962 it was delivered to naval aviation units. Its low efficiency, large mass and troublesome maintenance made it reach the stores instead of helicopter boards. Worse still, the Mi-4M offered little for its crew in terms of survival in case of emergency water landing. If it came to this, the helicopter just turned over and sunk rapidly, leaving the crew no time to escape.

In 1964, based on the Mi-4M, an export derivative was developed under a designation Mi-4ME. Poland bought 4 examples, which were operated by No. 28 Navy Rescue Squadron and formed an ASW flight. After they were withdrawn an Mi-4ME number 617 was donated to the Museum.”

The Battle of Okinawa, codenamed Operation Iceberg, was fought on the Ryukyu Islands of Okinawa and was the largest amphibious assault in the Pacific War. The 82-day-long battle lasted from early April until mid-June, 1945. The battle, referred to as the "Typhoon of Steel" in English, and tetsu no ame ("rain of steel") or tetsu no bōfū ("violent wind of steel") in Japanese, resulted in one of the highest number of casualties of any World War II engagement. Japan lost over 100,000 troops, and the Allies suffered more than 50,000 casualties. In addition, more than 100,000 civilians (12,000 in action) were killed, wounded, or committed suicide. The main objective of the operation was to seize a large island only 340 miles away from mainland Japan.

The Court of the Missing consists of a monumental stone stairway leading from the crater floor and flanked by eight marble slabs inscribed with the names of the 18,096 American World War II missing from the Pacific, excluding those from the southwest Pacific, and 8,200 American missing from the Korean War. Two half courts have been added at the foot of the staircase that contain the names of 2,504 Americans missing from the Vietnam War. The names are arranged in alphabetical order by military service. centered at the base of the stairway is a Dedicatory Stone.

At the top of the staircase, high on the wall of Puowaina Crater, is the Court of Honor, which consists of a non-sectarian chapel flanked by two map galleries. The galleries originally contain 10-foot high scagliola maps, designed by Richard and Carlotta (Gonzales) Lahey, which were replaced by mosaic concrete and colored glass aggregate designed by Mary Morse Hamilton Jacobs from 1968-1972. The maps and their descriptions acknowledge the achievements of the American armed forces in the Central and South Pacific regions and in Korea. At the center of the Court is a 30-foot statue of Lady Columbia, also known as Lady Liberty, or Justice, designed by Bruce Moore and carved by Fillippo Cecchettio and Ugo Quaglieri. Lady Columbia stands symbolically atop the prow of a US Navy carrier with a laurel branch in hand. The inscription below the statue is taken from Abraham Lincoln's letter to Mrs. Bixby.

The National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific, also known as Punchbowl National Cemetery, is administered by the National Cemetery Administration of the United States Department of Veterans Affairs and serves as a memorial to those who served in the United States Armed Forces. Located in Punchbowl Crater, the cemetery has interred 34,000 veterans of World War I, World War II, the Korean and Vietnam Wars, since it was first opened in 1949.

The Punchbowl Crater, an extinct volcanic tuff cone, was formed approximately 75,000 to 100,000 years ago during the Honolulu period of secondary volcanic activity from the Ko'olau Volcano. It is known in Hawaiian as Puowaina, which translates as "Hill of Sacrifice", as it was used as a site for human sacrifices during ancient times. During the reign of Kamehameha the Great, a battery of cannons was mounted at the rim to salute distinguished arrivals and signify important occasions. In the 1930s it was used as a rifle range for the Hawaiian National Guard. Toward the end of World War II, shore batteries were placed around the rim to guard Honolulu harbor.

Codenamed `Flanker' by NATO, the twin-seat SU-30, a derivative of the Su-27, is a multi-role fighter bomber and air superiority aircraft which can also be used in the maritime strike role. The Flanker has and operational radius of around 1500 km, and are equipped with an inflight refuelling facility extending their radius by another 500 km.

The Su-30MKI version was designed for India. The forward facing NIIP N011M Bars (Panther) is a powerful integrated Passive Electronically Scanned Array [PESA] radar. The N011M is a digital multi-mode dual frequency band radar. The N011M can function in air-to-air and air-to-land/sea mode simultaneously while being tied into a high-precision laser-inertial or GPS navigation system. It is equipped with a modern digital weapons control system as well as anti-jamming features. N011M has a 350 km search range and a maximum 200 km tracking range, and 60 km in the rear hemisphere. The radar can track 15 air targets and engage the 4 most dangerous simultaneously. These targets can even include cruise missiles and motionless helicopters. The Su-30MKI can function as a mini-AWACS as a director or command post for other aircraft. The target co-ordinates can be transferred automatically to at least 4 other aircraft. The radar can detect ground targets such as tanks at 40-50 km. It is speculated that the passive phased array Radar Irbis-E may be added to the fighter jet by 2010, when the first totally Indian-built Su-30MKI will roll out from HAL Nasik.

A total of 13 raids have been carried out in two weeks by officers in the City of Manchester division as part of an operation to crackdown on sophisticated cannabis farms.

The operation, codenamed 'Operation Download', was launched at the start of the month after a number of violent disputes believed to be involving criminal groups and cannabis farms in recent months.

Yesterday (24 June 2021), three further warrants were executed in the Strangeways and Moston areas of the city. Last week, on 15 June 2021, the team of officers recovered over 170 plants on Eadington Street in Crumpsall and over 70kilos were found at other addresses on Haversham Road and Huntley Road.

Today's action follows a number of warrants already executed by the team in the Crumpsall, Blackley, Prestwich and Moston. A total of nine suspected cannabis farms have been dismantled and seized.

Seven men have been charged and one has been released under investigation pending further enquiries.

Police are set to continue with the action in the coming weeks and appeal to any members of the public with concerns or information to contact them.

Detective Inspector Paul Crompton, of GMP's City of Manchester North division, said: "This targeted action comes after an increase in violent disputes between rival groups that we believe concerns cannabis farms in north Manchester.

"We are aiming to take out as many of these cannabis farms as we possibly can. Part of our crackdown is about us working with Manchester City Council and relevant local partners to develop an understanding of how these groups are managing to use properties in the city to carry out this alleged activity.

"The local community understandably has strong concerns about such activity and this operation is also to reassure them that we are listening and that we are taking robust action.

"Not only is the production of illegal drugs a criminal offence, but the mechanics of producing such substances pose a really dangerous threat to neighbouring addresses and it is vital we continue this work and seize assets."

Anyone with concerns or information can contact GMP's City of Manchester CID on 0161 856 3548. Details can also be passed to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Superintendant Denise Worth of the Oldham Division, said: "Today shows that the desire to rid our communities of the blight of drugs is continuous and that we shall keep tackling the issue as many times as is necessary until the problem is dealt with.

"This operation has taken months of intricate planning and dedication by officers from Operation Caminada.

"The people of Oldham have told us that they want drugs and drug dealing tackled across the borough and I hope that today's action highlights how seriously we take these crimes.

"It also sends a message out that we will not let people profit from spreading their misery in our neighbourhoods and we will continue to use all the powers and resources available to put people before the courts."

Porsche made a long overdue update to the 911 product in 1989, codenamed 964. The 964 retained the external bodywork appearance of the previous 911 series, despite the car being 85% new.

Stylistically, the 964 had integrated aerodynamic bumpers, front and rear.

Mechanically the 964 received a new 3.6L 6-cylinder boxer motor, of the familiar air-cooled layout. This new engine produced 184 kW (250 PS) and 310 Nm (228 lb.ft) in the standard guise.

A new all-wheel-drive system became available for the first time in the 911 product. These were termed 'Carrera 4', while the traditional rear-wheel-drive layout models were termed 'Carrera 2'.

Three body types were available, the coupe, targa-top (shown) and a full convertible.

Numerous go-fast versions of the car were produced, including Turbo models, through the 4-year production run, before being superseded by the type-993.

Police will be targeting wanted offenders as part of month-long crackdown on crime.

The initiative codenamed Operation Olympus will see over 250 local officers from across the Force and specialist units including traffic, tactical aid and the ANPR intercept teams target offenders for a range of offences including domestic abuse, sexual offences and general criminality.

The days of action, which will focus on known and wanted criminals are being held across the Force’s 11 divisions from 3 to 20 February.

Greater Manchester Police Superintendent Craig Thompson, operational lead, said: “Operation Olympus sends a clear message to criminals that there will be no hiding place for them and that the safety of our community comes first and will always be our priority. We will leave no stone unturned and will use all of our disruption tactics to make life difficult for them.

“By using all of our resources during the month we will put a stop to their criminal ways and show them that there’s always a place for them in our cells.”

This is similar to the other Lizzies, with a few subtle cosmetic differences/tagging.

Typical prototype “FCC not approved” tagging on the back.

Inside the battery compartment, the serial number tag reads “QUICKM06”.

The rubber port/power cover is missing (they pop out if you pull on them).

There is also a pink sticker tag which reads “JOB: QUICK”, “S. NO: 3”.

PCMCIA eject button has a subtle bump on it.

The speaker port cover is non-standard/looks shrunken.

It boots with a weird non-standard ding & shows that weird “Lindy Diagnostics 0.01E” screen. From there you can get into various diagnostic/testing menus.

Ford's forth generation Focus, codenamed C519 launched in 2018, replacing the previous C346 Focus in markets outside North America.

One semi-crossover variant, the Focus Active, was due to be built in China for export to the US, but was cancelled due to a trade dispute.

The C519 model retained the 5-door hatchback, saloon and estate models of the previous version, with the added Active variant a high-riding version of the hatchback or estate.

Most Focus C519 models are powered by 3-cylinder Ecoboost engines of 1.0L or 1.5L capacity, while 1.5L and 2.0L Panther 4-cylinder diesels are available, but with lower customer takeup due to market shift away from Diesels. A 2.3L Ecoboost is available in the performance ST trim.

The model shown is the high-specification Titanium Hatchback in one of the louder reddish-orange hues, which currently resides in my driveway (not driving much during COVID) as my company car.

I love the colour, and the practicality and functional performance are strong points. The fuel economy, and the lack of luxury feel are negatives.

Police will be targeting wanted offenders as part of month-long crackdown on crime.

The initiative codenamed Operation Olympus will see over 250 local officers from across the Force and specialist units including traffic, tactical aid and the ANPR intercept teams target offenders for a range of offences including domestic abuse, sexual offences and general criminality.

The days of action, which will focus on known and wanted criminals are being held across the Force’s 11 divisions from 3 to 20 February.

Greater Manchester Police Superintendent Craig Thompson, operational lead, said: “Operation Olympus sends a clear message to criminals that there will be no hiding place for them and that the safety of our community comes first and will always be our priority. We will leave no stone unturned and will use all of our disruption tactics to make life difficult for them.

“By using all of our resources during the month we will put a stop to their criminal ways and show them that there’s always a place for them in our cells.”

A total of 13 raids have been carried out in two weeks by officers in the City of Manchester division as part of an operation to crackdown on sophisticated cannabis farms.

The operation, codenamed 'Operation Download', was launched at the start of the month after a number of violent disputes believed to be involving criminal groups and cannabis farms in recent months.

Yesterday (24 June 2021), three further warrants were executed in the Strangeways and Moston areas of the city. Last week, on 15 June 2021, the team of officers recovered over 170 plants on Eadington Street in Crumpsall and over 70kilos were found at other addresses on Haversham Road and Huntley Road.

Today's action follows a number of warrants already executed by the team in the Crumpsall, Blackley, Prestwich and Moston. A total of nine suspected cannabis farms have been dismantled and seized.

Seven men have been charged and one has been released under investigation pending further enquiries.

Police are set to continue with the action in the coming weeks and appeal to any members of the public with concerns or information to contact them.

Detective Inspector Paul Crompton, of GMP's City of Manchester North division, said: "This targeted action comes after an increase in violent disputes between rival groups that we believe concerns cannabis farms in north Manchester.

"We are aiming to take out as many of these cannabis farms as we possibly can. Part of our crackdown is about us working with Manchester City Council and relevant local partners to develop an understanding of how these groups are managing to use properties in the city to carry out this alleged activity.

"The local community understandably has strong concerns about such activity and this operation is also to reassure them that we are listening and that we are taking robust action.

"Not only is the production of illegal drugs a criminal offence, but the mechanics of producing such substances pose a really dangerous threat to neighbouring addresses and it is vital we continue this work and seize assets."

16 Men and 1 Woman have been arrested in raids as part of an operation to crackdown on drug dealing in Oldham.

They were arrested when officers from Greater Manchester Police raided 14 addresses just after 6am today, Wednesday 30 April 2014.

Officers from Oldham's Operation Caminada Organised Crime Unit launched the operation, codenamed Operation Alamos, as their response to community concerns that street drug dealing was a problem in the area.

This operation forms part of Operation Challenger, which is the Force's strategy for tackling organised crime groups across Greater Manchester.

These arrests came after months of investigations by officers from the Oldham Organised Crime Unit into the distribution of heroin.

In the raids this morning, 16 men and 1 Woman were arrested on suspicion of drugs offences, after officers executed warrants across Oldham and Burnley.

More than 80 officers were involved in the raids and included officers from the Oldham Division and force tactical aid unit supported by Lancashire Police.

Extra officers from Oldham's Neighbourhood Policing Teams will be patrolling the area from today and the next few days to provide a visible presence and reassurance to the community.

A multi-agency plan is now in place for the area to ensure support for drug users and to prevent any further offending in the area.

Superintendant Denise Worth of the Oldham Division, said: "Today shows that the desire to rid our communities of the blight of drugs is continuous and that we shall keep tackling the issue as many times as is necessary until the problem is dealt with.

"This operation has taken months of intricate planning and dedication by officers from Operation Caminada.

"The people of Oldham have told us that they want drugs and drug dealing tackled across the borough and I hope that today's action highlights how seriously we take these crimes.

"It also sends a message out that we will not let people profit from spreading their misery in our neighbourhoods and we will continue to use all the powers and resources available to put people before the courts."

Omaha Beach was the Allied codename for one of the principal landing points during the Normandy landings on June 6, 1944. The beach is approximately 3.5 miles (5.6 km) long, from Sainte-Honorine-des-Pertes to Vierville-sur-Mer.

The untested 29th Infantry Division, joined by 8 companies of Rangers redirected from Pointe du Hoc, were to assault the western flank of the beach. The 1st Infantry Division was given the eastern approach. This was their third amphibious assault of the war, after Africa and Sicily. The primary objective of the Omaha Beach assault was to secure a beachhead between Port-en-Bessin and the Vire River, before pushing southward toward Saint-Lô.

The Allied air bombardment of the beach defenses prior to the landings was largely ineffective: most of the ordnance fell too far inland. The initial naval bombardment proved just as ineffective due to the short time allotted to the naval guns (40 minutes). The result was German defenses left largely intact when the first assault waves hit the beach. Soldiers who were not immediately killed found almost no defilade on the 182 meter-deep beach (at low tide), and what little cover provided by the beach obstacles was nullified by overlapping fields of fire pre-sighted by the Germans. Fogbanks and smoke from artillery fire created low visibility for the men on the beach, and many could only barely make out the cliffs ahead. The carefully planned assault became chaos as wind, waves, and current scattered most of the landing craft far from their assigned targets. Tired and seasick troops, weighed down by wet and sand-filled gear, could not run across the open sand (as often portrayed in movies). Most could only walk or trot the expanse toward the seawall.

The landings at Omaha Beach resulted in heavy American casualties. The official record of the 1st Infantry Division stated that "within 10 minutes of the ramps being lowered, [the leading] company had become inert, leaderless and almost incapable of action. Every officer and sergeant had been killed or wounded... It had become a struggle for survival and rescue". The approximately 40,000 men of V Corps incurred over 3,000 casualties, most in the first few hours.

The Battle of Normandy was fought in 1944 between Nazi Germany in Western Europe and the invading Allied forces as part of the larger conflict of World War II. Over sixty years later, the Normandy invasion, codenamed Operation Overlord, still remains the largest seaborne invasion in history, involving almost three million troops crossing the English Channel from England to Normandy in then German-occupied France.

More than 80 officers were involved in the raids and included officers from the Oldham Division and force tactical aid unit supported by Lancashire Police.

Extra officers from Oldham's Neighbourhood Policing Teams will be patrolling the area from today and the next few days to provide a visible presence and reassurance to the community.

A multi-agency plan is now in place for the area to ensure support for drug users and to prevent any further offending in the area.

Superintendant Denise Worth of the Oldham Division, said: "Today shows that the desire to rid our communities of the blight of drugs is continuous and that we shall keep tackling the issue as many times as is necessary until the problem is dealt with.

"This operation has taken months of intricate planning and dedication by officers from Operation Caminada.

"The people of Oldham have told us that they want drugs and drug dealing tackled across the borough and I hope that today's action highlights how seriously we take these crimes.

"It also sends a message out that we will not let people profit from spreading their misery in our neighbourhoods and we will continue to use all the powers and resources available to put people before the courts."
