The long hours disruption of Bank of America operations was a Beta test to gauge the public reaction. No different that the martial Law actions in Waltham, Mass after the supposed Boston Marathon bombing.
I Feel like I’m living in a crazy, alternate universe. The conspiracy theorists who follow CERN would probably say that we are. Everything that is good/decent is now viewed with such contempt, and malicious behavior encouraged/supported to levels that are surreal. I sincerely thank you for all your time.

Thanks for another great weekly wrap-up. Without getting into the weeds about the ACA and how bad an idea just in concept it is let alone in execution, the reason it exists at all is that the “solution” for the problem of our nation’s barbaric system of health care promoted by Republicans is even more catastrophic. The dog-eat-dog solution to health care is just as bad as the slavery solution. They’re both unacceptable. There are real solutions but no one wants to consider or implement them because they’re not politically expedient and the majority of this country is parasites who don’t see anything in those solutions for them to turn a dishonest profit. It’s bad enough that health care doesn’t subscribe to the fundamentals of supply and demand economics but administering it as if it does and then inviting a bunch of parasites to exploit it only makes worse a bad situation that never lent itself to a business model in the first place. I’m 50 yrs old and I’ve been all over the world. The US has a health care system more barbaric than many developing and third-world countries. I’m educated and gainfully employed and health insurance alone (when I’ve even been able to afford it, which is only about one-half of my adult life) consumes approximately one-half of my income. The ACA of Democrats didn’t help. It just redirected my income reserved for health care from one demographic of parasites represented by Republicans to another represented by Democrats. The amount taken away hasn’t changed. Just the beneficiaries. And neither beneficiary deserves or needs any help.
For now, let’s avoid the claim’s veracity.
An article published yesterday on Zero Hedge revealed locations of ten US bases in northern Syria. This is apparently a no-no, so much so that a link to its originator in Turkey was blocked from US readers’ access. In fact, the article mentioned how US media should avoid publishing the information.
An article on Sputnik today indicated that US Special Forces have reiterated the claim that the US” CIA is no longer funding the Syrian “rebels” or terrorists.
Sykes-Picot II, new Syrian Kurdish enclave or nation, Qatar pipeline across northern
Syria run through as possibilities. US military withdrawal from Syria not in cards.
Kadrov’s contention has some basis. Perhaps one-hundred percent.
Michael Savage says the Trump administration is imploding. I hope he’s wrong. I like your more upbeat perspective. David Stockman would be a good return guest as he has some strong opinions on where things stand at present.
Thanks Greg, it saddens me how bad the US economy is getting and how false the report from MSM. I am an aussie currently working in the US and people keep apologising for Donald. They are so far off the mark.
I think the might of the power-base in Washington will wear him down….but I respect his fighting spirit.
I think the neo cons and teh israel lobby with take us into something ugly.
Greg, Trump continues to hire billionaire coastal elites/hedge funders/Goldman folks as his closest aides. Most recently, the “Mooch.”
You used to rail against those wealthy elites [including Trump] and now you are their biggest fan. What a turnaround. And what a shame you abandoned your principles to support a person with no principles at all.
Titian I like Greg and believe he has good intentions however he suffers from ” Religious blinding” when it comes to certain people and subjects It’s a shame because he’s a smart otherwise well intentioned reporter
Actually and factually – it works the other way. You consider Hunter’s religious stance as “blinding”. It actually is THE original conveyed knowledge system, which proportions the BEST perspective and criteria for judgment. With the very tools that you reject: Greg Hunter is advanced beyond your scope of consideration. He can resource BOTH spiritual and worldly input to his consideration: you limit yourself to only one. And you ‘put down’ Mr. Hunter for something which you do not apprehend?
“one of the coasts” Yes, and we will get nowhere until we recognize that we are now two countries in one area. The longer it takes for us to come to terms with that reality, the worse things will get. Best always. PM
Michael Your fears are well founded historically
You are right on Syria and if Trump is signaling the end he is right.
How on earth can a country with $20 trillion in debt and hundreds of trillions of unfunded liabilities and adding to these unimaginable totals at a mind boggling rate possibly afford all this warmongering?
Joe Simple The debt is for the taxpayers and the warmongering is for the “club” members that George Carlin railed about Never the two shall meet don’t you know
Greg, you’re not the only one mentioning the gravity of Pres. Trump shutting down covert CIA operations to fund and arm Syrian rebels.
Joel Skousen also has this in today’s lead in his world affair’s brief: “Night of the Long Knives Coming for Donald Trump?”
According to Skousen, “globalists (PTB) won purging Donald Trump from power”… “in a move that may seal his fate” … “like JFK, Trump may have crossed the”
I do not regularly subscribe to Skousen’s newsletter, but he seems highly credible and knowledgeable about a great many things. We should pray even more zealously for the protection of our President.
As I have said before, the Powers That Be play for keeps, and will do anything to destroy America. While many Americans have been struggling to pay bills and raise families, they might have not noticed that the Deep State has been methodically tearing America apart, little by little, for decades. The PTB may now get desperate and have to shift into high gear.
It may be twisted, but I’m interested to see if the voice-boxes of the Deep State, like Rachel Mad-cow and CNN, can get even more rabid and deranged than they already are.
Greg I wasted my time and listened to your weekly review one more time. You are delusional and need help. What the hell are you drinking down there in Missouri?
1) Oh, It’s a Witch hunt! You people didn’t mind it when Ken Star was after Bill Clinton for eight years and wasted millions of taxpayer dollars, for what? To impeach him for lying in a congressional hearing about cheating on his wife?
2) There is no there there? What the hell are you talking about? There is plenty of there-there. Millions loaned to Trump by the Russians, when no U.S. Banks would loan him money because of all his bankruptcies. Eric admitted this to the press.
All the lying about not meeting with the Russians, brining them into the Oval Office and rejecting the U.S. press! You people are just sick.
The Nepotism is ridiculous. Ivanka getting all those Chinese patents approved, sitting in on State meetings. I could just see all your raged response if Chelsea was doing the same stuff as Ivanka has been doing!
You need to get right with Jesus brother, there is more to life than catering to the wealthy. You wonder

 FREEDOM IN DUTERTE's TIME and FAKE NEWS - A Statement for World Press Freedom Day by Sen. Leila M. De Lima
Today, we  the messengers of truth: the members of the press. Reporters, camera men, and the crew behind news teams, all of whom work day in and day out, taking risks to keep us informed of the state of the country and of the world.
Even before President Duterte came into power, unfortunately, our country has been known to be a dangerous place for journalists in the same league with Iraq and Afghanistan, both embroiled in civil strife for decades now.
Many Filipino journalists made the ultimate sacrifice in the name of truth and accountability of those in power and yet just a few years later, they have become nameless and nearly forgotten. Who among us could still remember media persons killed because they exposed corruption and wao? Or has anyone of us still recall even just one name of those journalists killed in the infamous Maguindanao Massacre? Tn.
Sa katunayan, lalo pong tumindi ang pag-atake sa media nang maluklok si Duterte na allergic sa mga kritisismo na dapat sana'y normal lang sa isang demokrasya. Tingnan na lang po natin ang ginawang panggigipit sa Rappler, ang pagbabawal kay Pia Ranada at Maria Ressa na makatuntong sa Malakanyang at makapag-cover sa mga aktibidad ng Pangulo.
Dobleng sampal din po sa propesyon ng pamamahayag ang ginagawang paggamit ng administrasyong ito sa fake news upang linlangin ang mamamayan at usigin ang mga tumututol tulad po ng ginawang pagsira at paghusga sa aking integridad.
Fake news undermines the integrity and tears the fibers of the journalism profession. In the process of peddling lies, purveyors of fake news have exerted efforts to discredit established media outfits and personalities so that their lies will prevail.
By distorting the truth, Duterte's troll army has managed to project their master as a benevolent but disciplinarian father of the nation but in truth, he is an authoritarian ruler aspiring to be a dictator for life. Social media mercenaries were also instrumental in this government's controversial programs such as the war on drugs and its attacks on human rights andthe Supreme Court.
Ngayong araw, muli nating pagnilayan ang kahalagahan ng malayang pamamahayag sa isang malusog na demokrasya. Responsible journalism allows people to make informed opinions on issues, guides their participation in public decisions and address immediate problems and strategic concerns that determine the fate of our nation.
As wewe join the fight against media repression and against the proliferation of fake news.
Lies, manipulated harassments are the main weapons of fascists and dictators but in the long run, they are no match to truth and democracy.


I am always excited to see the results from blending offline and digital business behavior.  Blending ideas has fast become a hallmark of internet-fostered communication, as well as success.
One book that details the best results of this blend is Small Town Rules, How Big Brands and Small Businesses Can Prospect In A Connected Economy, a wonderful distinct guide written by Barry Moltz (@barrymoltz) and Becky McCray (@BeckyMcCray).  These terrific authors are no strangers to the small business community, both nationally recognized for their entrepreneurship consultations and numerous appearances in publications.
McCray, a Hopeton, Oklahoma cattle rancher and small business owner, is best known for Small Biz Survival, an top small business online resource for rural businesses, and Tourism Currents, a social media resource site for the tourism industry she co-founded with Sheila Scarborough.  Moltz is a popular consultant who helps small businesses get “unstuck” and is host of the blogtalk show Business Insanity; He has written three books including You Need to Be A Little Crazy: The Truth about Starting and Growing Your Business and BAM! Delivering Customer Service in a Self Service World.
Anticipating a great thought-concerto on business and community, I was well rewarded for reading valuable notions from McCray and Moltz.  Their ideas speak sharply to business owners seeking the best practices of business development.
Small Town Rules notes that the recent economic changes have altered the ways small businesses must operate to survive.  The result is a new small town paradigm for businesses of all sizes, with advantages and disadvantages altered in illuminating ways.  For example, Moltz and McCray note that geographic location, once advantageous because  “Craftspeople wanted to be located near raw materials.…Merchants had to be on the trade routes”, is an eliminated factor.
“Fast transportation of physical goods reaches most populated parts of the world efficiently. The introduction of containerized intermodal shipping … reduced freight costs and remade the entire industry of moving goods overland and by sea.”
The lack of geographical attachment, called “Anywhere Anywhen”, is now the new norm.  Big businesses realizes that “jobs are also no longer geographically tied” while small town historic milestones make clear how the “new ways” have been with us all along:
“The loss of geographic advantage is nothing new for small town business owners. They lost their geographical advantages a long time ago with transcontinental railroads and interstate highways.”
Moltz and McCray skillfully note small and big business perspectives, recommending approaches that merge business development skills with social media, networking sensibilities, and consideration of assets.  This outlook helps the book relate to rural entrepreneurs far away from a metropolitan center as well as those in large urban centers who feel they are competing with everyone from everywhere.  Take the suggestion of “rural sourcing” instead of simple outsourcing:
“Turning the disadvantage of a rural location into an advantage of lower cost, rural sourcing captures jobs that otherwise might be outsourced overseas. Rural service firms claim a number of advantages over global firms: shorter supply chains, better data security, intellectual property protection, cultural compatibility, and convenient time zones.”
Small Town Rules provide what-to-do summaries in collalaries at the end of each chapter, while occasional segments focus on “powerhouse brands“– businesses well known but not always in the news, such as LL Bean and The Grasshopper Company of Kansas.  Appendixes note varied resources from books to cloud-based business solutions.
When networking, beware of the CAVEs – Citizens Against Virtually Everything – those who resist the ideas to the point of derailment and missed opportunity.
Community means people communicate a lot, so make customer service a priority and “treat it like it’s all you got.”
Big and small companies are returning to the values of small towns – knowing your neighbor, incorporating voices from everyone who “steps ups and lead”
Plan for zero – being ready for economic disaster by diversifying income streams on a true pivot of sources, instead of any ol’ service to attract interest (This is my favorite perspective of the book). “There are three ways to get ready for those zero times: question assumptions, know the seasons and cycles, and invest for the long term.”
Locavesting  — The financial resources showcased in this book matches the network resources given at the end of Small Town Rules
The Mesh –  Need an idea that is unique in your region? Services and product ideas in the Mesh are a starting point to elaborate on the “Anywhere Anywhen” phenomenon.
Worth Every Penny — Read Anita Campbell’s great review on a book that reinforces the importance of create a unique brand experience.
The Welcomer’s Edge – Richard Shapiro’s concept displays the way we engage customers leads to repeat sales.
Readers with small business dreams or brands looking to serve smaller markets will benefit from Small Town Rules.  Pick up a copy to build a close business relationship with your customers, and to develop a style that competitors may never emulate.
As an administrator of an ecommerce platform that allows businesses and individual entrepreneurs to open online retail stores for free I am glad the book “Small Town Rules” espouses the same virtues. In fact I see the book as not just a good read for small business but the playbook for any business that seeks to compete as if they were small, local business.
Very true Adrian. Moltz and McCray nailed the idea of how geography seems less of a barrier, yet some regions have not fully adopted. The strategy to play local is being manifested in some many businesses, such as large traditional retailers considering smaller retailer spaces. The ideas are very much alive, and its good to know you’re seeing it form your perspective, too. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for this, Pierre.
I received a review copy from Becky and Barry, and I can’t wait to dive in.
I’ve lived in small towns…they are unique, and have unique marketing and business needs.
Thanks Joel! I think you’ll really enjoy it. I really liked the Plan for Zero approach; businesses are told to have multiple streams but never quite understand that the streams should be related enough to pivot and not escalate costs to maintain. McCray and Moltz phrased the idea in a great way.
Thanks for the thoughtful review
Looks like a book that would be well worth checking in to. Thanks for suggesting it. A great book that I would strongly recommend reading is “Bottom-up and Top-Down Innovation: Innovate Your Way to Success! Create an Innovative Company!” by Joseph N. Stein. It is full of a lot of great information as well.
I forgot to mention that Joseph N. Stein’s book is a two books in one package.


Ahead of the upcoming Linux Mint 19 release that's re-based on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS as well as the upcoming Linux Mint Debian Edition 3 release based on Stretch, the Cinnamon 3.8 desktop environment is now officially available...
Cinnamon is clearly a sane, clever DE that we really badly needed back in the terrible days of the early Gnome 3 and KDE 4. But I really have the feeling it lost its momentum years ago. That's a bit sad. The fact they still have to keep up with Gnome libs, without really mastering their inner cores, must slow them down quite a lot. It frequently gives the feeling they are "hacking" the code to fit their vision, but what about the long term ?
Well, don't take me wrong. I know many people who settled with it and are happy with it. And I really tried to (I was disappointed many times due to instability and the reasons I stated above -- but this could probably be said about most DEs). It's just yet another frustrating story of scattering/split efforts as far as I'm concerned.
I hope this time Cinnamon is more stable, cause man does it like to crash and burn. Especially Nemo, which closes so often.
 But since then, KDE has come roaring back and IMHO has regained the mantle of "premier traditional UX Linux desktop." The Linux Mint folks got a lot of early mileage out of making GNOME 3 more usable, but it seems like they've hit a technological wall that's been seriously hampering progress for years. By contrast, KDE's codebase is modern and flexible. After a few years of teething pains, KDE Plasma 5 is now improving at light speed.
In the early days, sure, it'd break a lot.
But recently? I use Mint 18.3 and don't remember experiencing a sinlge crash...
Perhaps it's jsut me.
I hope they fixed the desktop freeze for people using nouveau.
Either way, this is too late for me, I already switched to KDE Plama on Kubuntu 18.04.
I love the performance and stability of KDE Plama.
It .. but it does like to idle with 20-30% use of one of the cores of my i5 4570S for zero apparent reason. Finally switched to XFCE. Don't like it as much visually but I got it to a point where it's good enough. Just need to figure out how to both have the Windows key (yes that is the proper name of it) work to open the whisker menu but also work with shortcuts like win+E.   One of the big advantages of the Gnome-based distros is that the Windows key functions as a Windows key.
Microsoft got that key added to keyboards, and that set the expectation of what the key should do. I don't care if KDE or XFCE developers think otherwise because they are wrong.
But at least they don't waste 20-30% of a CPU core for no damn reason.
With XFCE, I almost never see its processes using over 5%, and it idles with less CPU usage than that, even. I'm not sure I've ever seen an XFCE process go up to 30% even briefly (it probably does happen sometimes, but yes, briefly).
Also, when Cinnamon does crash on me (again, not actually very frequent), it usually loads back up fine and doesn't require a reboot or anything. Still annoys me but could be worse.

I loved Cinnamon, but to be honest, I've lost interest in it as soon as they started with Xapps and avoided CSD support, I'm quite sure it still performs better than Gnome-Shell, it is basically less complex Shell done in GTK, so it have to be good.


“I, I’m not worried, because all of the police around here know us,” said Johnson who’s been clowning for 20 years. “But it got me thinking because when we’re driving around working, especially on the weekends, we’re clowns.”


the report. First, an unconditional and immediate ceasefon, and then a cooling-off period during which there would be an exchange of confidence-building measures and then resumption of negotiations.
BLITZER: Well, you've been an observer of the Middle East for a long time. I've been covering that part of the world for almost three decades myself. I've never seen any significant agreement achieved over there at the level of Ambassador William Burns, who's there right now.
The Israelis and the Palestinians, they want the secretary of state, they want the president of the United States, they want a much higher level than-- he hasn't even been confirmed for that position yet -- to be involved in this kind of shuttle diplomacy if it comes down to that.
MITCHELL: That will be a decision, of course, for the president and the secretary of state. I think the secretary is well aware of the importance of active American participation of leadership.
I've said on several previous public occasions that progress toward a final settlement without active American leadership and participation.
BLITZER: At the very highest level, right?
MITCHELL: Well, I don't think you can predict that at this point. I think there's somewhat of an unfairness to compare the last three months of the Clinton presidency with the first three months of the Bush presidency.
The active participation by the president and secretary of state depends upon the circumstances which exist. At the time that President Clinton had the summit, it was appropriate. Right now it may not be, but I think the administration is prepared, when it will be appropriate, to take active leadership.
BLITZER: Has President Bush or Secretary of State Powell asked you to take that kind of role?
MITCHELL: No.
BLITZER: Would you?
MITCHELL: Well, I told the secretary and the president, and I said publicly at the press conference last Monday, that, speaking on behalf of the full committee, we would do whatever we could to be of assistance, should our assistance be requested and required.
BLITZER: Do you anticipate that that might happen, that they would come to you, given the last several months that you were engaged in putting this report together, that you sound like someone who might be a credible emissary, given your experience also in Northern Ireland?
MITCHELL: Well, that's for others to judge, Wolf. My hope is that they'll get this process going right now. I think they're in discussions as we speak to try to establish a framework.
We said in the report, and I earlier alluded to it, that the timing and sequence of these steps is essential. When I went back to Northern Ireland in 1999, when the agreement there appeared ready to fall apart, I spent three and a half months. It only took me a short time, just a few days, to figure out the steps that had to be taken.
Most of the time was taken up in working out a sequence of events. Because of the high level of mistrust, no party is going to take a step unless they know something else is going to happen, and so on down the line. And you've got to organize an effort that can be the rebuilding of confidence. I think that's what's needed right now, and I believe that's what the administration's trying to do.
BLITZER: Prime Minister Ariel Sharon in Israeli, shortly after you released your report, did say Israel was ready for an immediate ceasefire. And his foreign minister, Shimon Peres, spoke out about it as well, as did the Palestinians.
I want you to listen to the Israeli and the Palestinian response to your call for an immediate ceasefire. Listen to this.
ARIEL SHARON, ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER: I invite the Palestinians to follow the same trick. If it is good for our public relations, why shouldn't it be good also for the Palestinian public relations? So if you can, in the name of public relations, to achieve a mutual ceasefire, this will be a contribution not just in public relations but also to peace.
YASSER ABED RABBO, PALESTINIAN INFORMATION MINISTER: Sharon's call for a ceasefire is misleading and inaccurate, since this is not a war between two armies or two states, but to other an aggression by an occupation army against an occupied people.
BLITZER: What Yasser Abed Rabbo is basically saying is that there can't be a ceasefire actually until the Israeli occupation itself ends. That has to be the first step in the process. How does that fit in to your recommendations?
MITCHELL: Well, of course, that's is not what we recommended.
MITCHELL: We recommeresumption of security cooperation.
However, we also said, and I believe it's stating the obvious, that a cessation of violence cannot be sustained for long, and certainly not indefinitely, unless it is followed by further steps. And that is what I think is the process that has to occur. There has to be a means of restoring confidence.
Wolf, you know this area much better than I do. Confidence is gone. It's been shattered, not just among the political leaders but among the people on both sides. They don't trust, don't believe the other side, and so each is fearful of taking steps that would then not be reciprocated.
And what they need now is coming together and working out a sequence of steps that would both assure the continuation of a ceasefire -- although we say it ought to be immediate and unconditional, and we mean that -- but would assure a continuation over time, as confidence is gradually rebuilt and meaningful, serious negotiations are resumed.
BLITZER: As you well kyears has urg Gaza. Labor governments in Israel, Likud governments in Israel, they've repeatedly rejected all those calls.
What gives you any reason to believe that your proposal, your recommendation for a freeze on all Israeli settlement activity, including the so-called "natural growth" settlement activity, that that's going to happen?
MITCHELL: Well, first, of course, as you correctly point out, every American government for more than a quarter century has opposed Israeli policy and actions with respect to settlements, and we cited in our report P Indeed, we quoted a statement by President Reagan 20 years ago saying that what's needed to rebuild confidence is an immediate freeze on settlements.
But the fact is that, during Camp David, Prime Minister Begin did freeze settlements for a brief period of time. And then later, during his tenure in office, Prime Minister Rabin did freeze settlements. So there is some precedent for it.
Secondly, the current government policy is not to expand settlements but just to permit construction for natural growth. There's been controversy over whether that has or has not been actually implemented. But it is a recognition by the current government that some restriction on settlement activity is appropriate in the circumstances.
So I don't think it's unrealistic to think that, in the proper circumstances, with other steps occurring in this confidence-building process, that it may be possible for this step to be taken.
BLITZER: Senator Mitchell, we only have a minute left, but, as you were releasing your report, your recommendations on the Middle East this week, there was a historic development in the U.S. Senate. You were once the majority leader in the Senate.
What advice do you have for your good friend Tom Daschle, as he's about to become, first time really in six years, the Democratic majority leader in the Senate?
MITCHELL: He doesn't need any advice from me. Tom Daschle is an outstanding leader.
When I became majority leader, the custom had been for the majority leader to also be chairman of Democratic Policy Committee. I broke that custom, and I named Tom as chairman of the Policy Committee. He did a great job, as he did as minority leader, and as he will as majority leader. owns. I think he's going to do a great job. I couldn't be more pleased.
BLITZER: You know, Rich Bond, a former Republican Party chairman, he had some tough words this week, an

NASIR: We’re talking about ice cream in general, I believe, right?
MATT: Yeah, exactly. I mean, 2015, if it says “organic” on it, there’s a very, very good chance they were certified by the USDA in the US and what that means, let’s see, products made ofbut can enlist individual ingredients that are organic which I actually have seen a lot of, if you look at ingredients, too. Of course, the plants can’t be genetically modified which is a hot topic.
MATT: Even when we said to be honest, like, in order to be honest, you only have to be 95 percent truthful – 5 percent of the time, you can just straight up lie to people.
MATT: Yeah, I know about organics, you know about ice cream. On Monday’s episode, you said we were brothers. We’re actually twins.

MATT: Yeah, it’s definitely older but, I mean, it’s kind of what we said back in the last week. If you’re going to advertise something, it has to be truthful. There’s just a little more wiggle room with the organic stuff.

Today, Microsoft is releasing Windows 11 build 22000.194 to the Beta channel. First of all, there's not much that's new.

These include Snipping Tool, Calculator, and Clock with...
With all of the system requirement increases in Windows 11, one of the more prominent ones is TPM 2.0. However, that requirement is waived if you're installing the new OS in a virtual machine, allowing you to test it out on unsupported hardware, as well as run it on things like Apple's M1 Macs. That's going...

the captains shook hands on a draw.
History there two years ago.
William Attewell’s 8-32 in 1890 are the best figures returned by a Notts bowler on the south coast..
With his partner, William Riley, the powerful Alletson had added 152 for the 10th wicket, a county record, which remains – although exactly equalled in 2000 by Usman Afzaal and AJ Harris v Worcestershire.
Nottinghamshire triumphed at Hove in 2012,.
Prior to that win, Notts had not previously tasted success at Hove since 1983, when they got off to an amazing start as Richard Hadlee and Mike Hendrick ripped out the Sussex top order in spectacular fashion to finish with four wickets apiece.
In the midst of last summer’s white ball cricket James Taylor was put on standby to replace Kevin Pietersen in the England Test side, with the Surrey player undergoing treatment on a niggling injury.
In order to help Taylor prepare, should he be needed, he was drafted to play for Sussex in a red ball tour match against the Australians at Hove.
Sussex 213* HP Chaplin (1914)
Notts 249 A Jones (1901)
Best Bowling (Innings)
Sussex SP Hoadley (1978), RS Cowan (1982), MJG Davis (2001), WAT Beer (2008)
Nottinghamshire’s Phil Jaques has played in 11 Tests, 6 One Day Internationals, 195 first class, 165 one day and 81 T20 matches and in all that time he has taken ONE wicket.
Admittedly the prolific left-handed batsman has bowled on exceedingly rare occasions but playing for Yorkshire at Hove last summer he had his moment in the sun.
One of Jaques’ current team-mates, Riki Wessels, also has a bowling tale to tell against the south coast side. His maiden - and only wicket in county cricket - came when the sides met at Trent Bridge a couple of years ago as Luke Wells chipped back, for a routine caught and bowled.
Daily admission prices for anyone travelling down to Hove to see this match can be found on the official Sussex CCC website, where you will find all details, including the £1.75 entrance offer.

This is another amazing building and an amazing story to go with it, but if you were to view, be well worth going with a tour guide.
We did not do the tour of the Waterford factory. We only entered toe store to glance around. However, the value was obvious, and we were impressed by the displays and attention to detail. We bought quite a bit; they offered to ship any amount for one set price; that worked!
This is a fully functioning cathedral - so please do exercise appropriate decorum and behavior while visiting. Absolutely beautiful inside. just stunning. Painted soft yet vibrant colors, and filled with Waterford chandeliers. I have visited many cathedrals throughout Europe and this one will forever be etched in my memory.
A Cathedral that leaves everyone in awe of the building and its beautiful artifacts. Set in the shopping centre of Waterford, just off the Quay, opposite the Clock Tower. There is plenty of parking on the Quay and gives easy access to the Cathedral, which is on a pedestrian road.

urging him to re. While he shut the door to a presidential bid earlier this year, there are reports that Bloomberg, the founder of Bloomberg L.P., is reconsidering that decision.
Scott wrote Bloomberg as follows:
Communist China, led by President Xi, is violating human rights. They are stealing our intellectual property and technology, and refuse internment and re-education camps, and have not lived up to.
Companies around the world need to stop doing business with Communist China. High profile leaders like yourself need to stop supporting Communist China. There are countless locations in freedom-loving countries around the world that would be more suitable to host the New Economy Forum.support President Xi, and pull the New Economy Forum from Beijing.
China has to stop first any commercial relation with the Ayatollah Reich and Michael Bloomberg should ask it clear and speak -up against the Chamberlain type agreement signed by Obama.

Not being in today shouldn’t be an issue for any of you today, considering the point(s) were we are at for the project. Please take this opportunity to use the class time to get as much work done as possible so that you are able to meet tomorrow’s firing day.
Business as usual today. I aplogize for not being in, but you guys are all aware of what is needed to take place to meet your Thurs. deadline. Be sure to be thinking about the materials that you will be using and keep track/clean up after yourselfs.
So we are right into it.
Create a series of 5 head drawings (no details) and be able to talk about the steps you’ve used.
We were to get started on the drawing of the head today. Not any specific details, just the layout of basic shapes and what they would look like at different angles. The method that we will use comes from illustrator, Andrew Loomis, whose detailed books give great insight to the fundamentals and steps behind skethching out the face.
I’m able to supply you with a copy of Loomis’ book “Drawing the Heads and Hands” which can be viewed through your phones by clicking on this LINK HERE.
I know this is a book, which requires READING (which I’m sure we all know how this is going to end) but I do think it would do you some good to page through it so as you will have some insight as to the steps we will be taking.
Also, it is a good idea to have a few head sketches already prepared for class tomorrow so we can discuss the steps you already are aware off.

2020 Summer Writing Contest Winners
Finding My Mother by Ruth Herman
I would have said 6 months ago
now, in real time, I watch her in the morning
as she gets ready for the day
to brush her silver hair
to see the effort it takes
to peek in her room and observe
that, after she is dressed
she walks to the picture window
and touches her mother’s picture,
then turns, and walks to her father’s photo,
and she touches him, too
coming to the last photo taken of my father
her hand softly brushes his cheek
her whispered words too soft for me to understand
this moment that is theirs
she comes out of her room
she walks with her cane
to the little wooden day timer
she must lean on the chair while she
she moves the next tiny knob
eleven becomes twelve
I am suddenly there
where she makes her coffee
she has used for 35 years
when she is done
I carry the pot, she walks slowly with me
I know what it is like for her
the long days that I am gone each day
how she spends an hour
to write a letter to someone she thinks needs cheering
when fears and sadness seem too close
how she pets the old dog
and tells her to stay strong
because they have so much
my mother lives with us
and I know exactly what it’s like to be with her
and see my mother in the light
a silver light
And All the Land Grew Silent by Laura Distarce
And the sound of the Universe could be heard.
You’ve got me, I’ve got you.
Today I am a citizen of the world
and hold her in Infinite Love and Light
We too have a song that harmonizes with the sound of the Universe
And to each a silent prayer: grow
Finding Time by Liam Wilbur
Two songbirds in neighboring trees held discourse about their mating prospects. Several streets down, a dog reminded its owners that breakfast was due. Decadently puffed clouds crept unhurried along the sky. Tom realized he was staring at them open-mouthed and considered for a moment what Deb and Charles next-door would think if they saw him. Tom was unconcerned. Recently he found he
didn’t put much stock in the neighbor’s opinions. As a matter of fact, Deb and Charles did see him through their living room window and concluded that drugs were most likely involved.
An arm wound its way around his, the familiar smell of his wife’s conditioner mingling pleasantly with the summer scents. Angie was standing next to him, also gazing up at the sky. She wore a coy smile and glowed in the light.
Tom glanced down at his wrist to see how much time this reverie had cost him, and discovered he was without his beloved Rolex Datejust. Tom then did something unusual: he shrugged. Tom was not a shrugger; he believed that shoulders were for presenting good posture and swinging tennis rackets. Tom hadn’t had to do much of either recently. He conceded that on a morning like this, where the simple elegance of summer had rooted him to the lawn, the best he could do was shrug his shoulders and not take any of it for granted.
BUBELAH by C. Russell
I think she means when pigs fly.
“Bubbe,” I say. “They’re not unihorns. They’re unicorns. With a cee.”
“What are you saying?” Her voice goes up a skeptical half-octave. “What, like a single bunion?”
She’s got a point. Just like a unihorn, I think, and I circle back to my original query.
“Bubbe. Don’t do it for them. Do it for me.”
“And by ‘them’ you mean those lying meatballs in the White House? I should listen to that fetus?”
Okay, so here she’s lost me. “Fetus?”
“That young one, the boy that married the daughter. His face is still unfinished, needing more time to cook, no? And he’s as bad as the rest. An Orthodox Jew. It’s a shanda,” she says, using the Yiddish word that translates roughly into a “family shame.”
“You’re not wrong,” I say. “But this mask thing. It’s important.”
“Feh,” says my grandmother.
And I have a genius idea. “Well, your call. The president won’t wear one either, too scientific for him.”
Game and match. Bubbe knows it, too, and gives me her patented death ray stare before snatching the homemade mask out of my hand.
“What is this,” she says, holding it at arm’s length.
“It used to be underwear. Now it’s a mask.”
She dangles the fabric in front of my face. “You call this underwear? This schmatta is a piece of nothing!”
Bubbe inhales as if to speak, then swallows the breath with an audible gulp. She arranges the thing expertly over her mouth and nose.
“Clever,” she says, and sweeps out the door.
An Endangered Species by Fran Hall
They were old men and old friends. Marv was a widower. Ed had been divorced for years. The pair had been through the war together. Now they were in a new war, , a virus war.
“Same’s as I always do, I go myself. I do everythin’ myself.”
“ My kids don’t want me goin’ to the store. At our age, that’s not such a great idea.”
Ed balked. “So who’s gonna go?”
“My kids said they’d go. The grandkids has stepped up, too. I make a list and give ‘em my credit card. They go and don’t even need a signature. Just the chip, I guess. And then
they bring it in, bags and all. Sometimes I tip the grandkids. Oh, they love that.”
Ed soaked in the image of someone else carrying his groceries for him. “
I’m tired of being alone and all. No one to talk to. Just the TV . “Times like this I miss havin’ a woman.”
“Well you had one and you got rid of her, but I know what you mean. I miss my wife every day. She was something special. Just radiated love.”
“Yes, she did,” Ed agreed, then shifted gears. “So, tell me more about the kids.”
“So, yer getting’ more than groceries. Sounds like they got you laughing a lot.
“Oh, my kids got me doing a lot of thing these days. They didn’t used to look after me like this. I guess they was just too busy, with school and sports and jobs and dogs, and keepin’ up that big house and all. But now it’s different. Everybody’s slowed down. Everybody’s home. They have time for grandpa. I swear, they hover over me now like a fleet of drones, keepin’ tabs on everythin’ I need and everythin’ I do. Now that the virus is here maybe they finally figured out that I might not be around forever.”
“Yeah, “an endangered species.”
Marv thought for a while and then he replied, realizing something for the first time.
“It feels like love again.”
Quarantine Snow Day by Graham Steffens
Look. The snowboarding has never been better than now. Yes, it’s August in Washington, DC and yes, you’re sheltering at home. But that’s exactly what makes it so good: you wouldn’t be snowboarding if you weren’t quarantined in the dead of summer. If you were preparing another slide deck or packed into the backseat and headed for a bar, you wouldn’t be sitting here in your backyard, a tuft of patchy five-by-five grass, with your old board strapped to your feet, hopping up onto a flakey wooden bench like it’s a box and practicing 180s off your foam roller.
And how lucky that is. And how lucky that you can tense and coil your spine as you drop forward. That your knees can bend and your calves lean as you push down and lift off, rotating, just high enough to bring the board out of the snow and around to press onto the top of the metal rail, where you balance suspended. How lucky that the weather will hold just long enough to make this one of those bluebird days on the mountain, the kind you’ll look back on in 10 years and smile and mutter to yourself, “Now that was real riding.”
Be Still by Kiki Chase
Locked up tight in a house by the sea, the world around us screeching to a halt. The rush of mounting momentum interrupted, now reduced to sending out wishes by the stars of night. Holding fast, trusting the tides and the timing of life.
A Reflection by Donna Franz
Now that I’m retired and the pandemic has curtailed trips to restaurants, movies, stores, visits with friends, and more, I’ve recaptured that feeling of being home and restricted – but now I find that I relish the freedom to decide how to use my time within the imposed limitations. Instead of going “out” every day, I’m going “in” to rediscover old skills – and using those old skills has brought back many memories.
My mom, who recently passed away at 95, was a very capable woman. She could do anything she put her hand to – she loved organic gardening, excelled at cooking, could knit, crochet, braid rugs, sew, keep a clean and organized home that housed seven children, could wallpaper a room so professionally you couldn’t find seams or pattern misalignments, found time to read, and enjoyed playing scrabble late in life. I marvel at all she accomplished and try to model what she held dear: the importance of family and her skill at keeping her children close by maintaining family traditions. So as I make masks to keep my family safe, I take trips to my past and recall all the experiences I had and all the people who positively influenced my life. I am especially warmed by the memories of all the things my mother gave me. My reflective trips to the past are one of the blessings of this quiet time of sheltering at home.

Silver Lining of Shelter at Home by Brinn Hefron

英文摘要 Type 2 diabetes consists major characteristics such as obesity, inflammation and insulin resistance. It has been shown that inflammation is elevated in the condition of obesity and leads tolinking obesity and inflammation is poorly understood. Considering that the innate immune molecule Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) recognizes a large number of lipid containing molecules, we hypothesized that TLR2 is activated by dietary lipids, transduces proinflammatory signals, and further contributes to insulin resistance. First, we observedTLR2 in white adipose tissue and liver of ob/ob mice. This promoted us to study the role of TLR2 in insulin resistance, and we found that TLR2regardless of feeding them regular chow or a high-fat diet. Secondly, aged or high-fat fed TLR2-deficient mice were protected from obesity and adipocyte hypertrophy, accompanied with increased locomotor activity and energy expenditure. Thirdly, we founinsulin signaling in TLR2-deficient mice in a liver-specific manner. To dissect the mechanism by which TLR2 influences hepatic insulin sensitivity, we revealed that the dietary lipid, palmitate, activates primary macrophages and hepatocytes, and may indirectly or directly interrupt hepatic insulin signaling through TLR2. Finally, we observed improved glucose metabolism in the liver of TLR2-deficient mice, and this may be contributed by attenuated inflammatory response as well as decreased hepatic triacylglyceride accumulation. Taken together, our work has identified TLR2 as a key bridge between the dietary lipid and hepatic inflammatory responses, leading to hepaitc

Here's how to run a contract on the alphanet. The container: prefix tells the docker to copy the file into the container before running the client. It does change the path, so just know that it's still your file that's causing the errors. You'll need to obtain and start the alphanet before doing any of these things. Instructions can be found on the Tezos GitHub.
Running without the alphanet
Before you're able to use any of these commands, you'll need to build the Tezos node and client from the Git repository. Basic build instructions can be found here. If you're building on different platforms, you may experience problems with the libsodium dependency. Fixes are described in various locations, such as this one.
Before actually running anything, you'll need to start a Tezos node and activate the alpha protocol. There are some scripts in the repository designed to make this easier. The official documentation is here, but I'll go through the steps anyway.
Starting a Node and initializing the client
I'm assuming that you're in the top directory of the Tezos repository for this sequence of commands.
First, start a sandboxed node. A sandboxed node cannot contact the actual network and is meant to be a testing area. Sandboxed nodes can still contact addresses on your local network, but they won't by defualt.
You can do this in another terminal, or by backgrounding the following process. I personally usually work in a single terminal, so I'll be backgrounding things.
scripts/launch-sandboxed-node.sh 1 --connections 0 &
Next, initialize a client that can contact the node. This will inject a few different aliases into the current shell.
eval `scripts/init-sandboxed-client.sh 1`
Finally, activate the alpha protocol:
tezos-client run program /tmp/program.tz on storage [STORAGE] and input [INPUT]
tezos-client typecheck data [DATA_LITERAL] against type [TYPE]
Originate a contract
With the sandbox, it's easier to use the bootstrap identities.

Areola ‘happy’ with Fulham debut
by Dan | Sep 17, 2020 | Uncategorized | 1 comment
It’s like this, you have to be focused, make the right decisions. It’s good to start like this, get more minutes and become confident with the team. I’m very happy!
The 27 year-old views this season as an important one for him – and his first target will be to try and wrestle the number one spot off Marek Rodak, who started the opening league game against Arsenal following his excellent displays as Fulham won promotion from the Championship last year.
Mark	on September 17, 2020 at 12:25 pm
I like Rodak but he needs to command his six yard area in directing his team mates and looking to cut out crosses.Maybe this guy will already have those skills


My husband and I met in May of 2009, through an online dating website. I loved his sense of humor and we got along great!It was not my first interracial relationship, nor was it his, but I'm glad he's in my life. We've made it through a lot, and my mom even knew he was the one-- before she passed, she used to call him her "future son-in-law" after he came over for dinner one night, had seconds and thirds, and then dozed off on the chaise lounge!He proposed in 2010, and we have been married for two years (and counting)!
My name is Kerah and I met my husband Ben in 2007 when I moved next door to him. I was a single mother of two children and he was a single father of one child from his previous interracial marriage. We were friends for over a year before we ever went out on a date and 6 years later, we are still going strong. I'd never dated a caucasian man, but wasn't opposed to it. We had a child together in 2009 and married in 2012. We consider ourselves to be the interracial Brady Bunch!
We met in the fall of 2009 while attending an exhibit opening at a glass art gallery owned by mutual friends. That same night, we discovered that we owned identical cars (after Sarah mistakenly tried her key on Nick’s car). While attending a concert at a cafe later that evening, we discovered that our interests and personalities matched almost as well as our cars!We attended All Hallow’s Eve and Samhain (i.e. Halloween) festivities together the following days, and have been inseparable ever since!

When it comes to major differences between Micro USB and USB-C: Micro USB has been around longer and is on additional gadgets like advanced cameras and smart home gadgets. In fact, Mi
USB-C is utilized fundamentally on newer smartphones and PCs, and it, as well, has various specs as it has developed throughout the long term. Could be seriously befuddling that regardless of USB-C’s development, the shape has continued as before. USB-C cables are not difficult to use since you can embed them into the USB port in any direction.
Mishould be situated to line up with the heading of the port. Differences between USB C and micro adaptation of USB come down to shape, data move and charging speeds, and similarity. Here, are major differences between micro USB and USB-C.
1. Charging Speed Of USB-C & Micro USB
From the part of charging speed, USB Type-C is quicker than the micro USB connector. Plus, the USB Type-C gives a more powerful su much of the time utilized on a few somewhat old devices. Lots of Android phones are utilizing the USB Type-C as their progressing charging strategy.
As a new charging port, USB Type-C is turning into a far and wide charging standard. USB Type-C is more adaptable and quicker than micro USB. As indicated by a study, Type-C port can be utilized to info or result power, while micro USB can include power.
USB-C is the quicker connector, integrating USB 3.0 and USB 3.1 advances to move information between 5 Gbps (gigabits-per-second) and 10 Gbps. Then again, Micro USB connectors just exchange data at up to 480 Mbps (megabits each second), or up to 5 Gbps if the link upholds USB 3.0.
On the off chance that you’re utilizing a fresher gadget equipped for information move speeds quicker than 5 Gbps, a Micro USB port will be the restricting element with regards to how rapidly you can move information between that gadget and a USB embellishment.
Be that as it may, since certain gadgets like USB drives can’t move information quicker than 5 Gbps, you’ll find those gadgets commonly accompany miniature USB ports and links.
Compatibility is likewise indispensably significant while picking a micro USB or USB C connector. Micro USB was intended to make the gadgets slimmer so you can associate it to the PCs and center points. In any case, micro USB has a conspicuous restriction on the module strategy that you can plug it right. In the event that you plug it inappropriately, it won’t work.
USB Type-C will in general be utilized on most new smartphones particularly Samsung. Indeed, a few present day PCs likewise are delivered with Type-C USB ports. The greatest benefit is the “one-size-fits-all” plan that empowers you to utilize it on those normal contraptions and peripherals. For example, you can utilize it on smartphones, cameras, game controllers, printers, and HDMI.
With regards to the actual similarity of USB, it is important to analyze their connectors including the male connector (plug) and the female connector (repository). The male connector fits inside your gadgets, and the female connector is the port that you join to.
Finally – Which Is Better
There is no question that USB Type C successes micro USB in numerous perspectives, for example, data transfer speed, compatibility, and charging speed. Albeit micro USB is more reasonable than Type C, the truth of the matter is that their costs are not very different.
Contrasted and those remarkable experts of Type C, its value nearly can be overlooked. Furthermore, an ever increasing number of gadgets are planned with Type C port, which is a significant motivation to pick it. To summarize, it is energetically suggested that you change from miniature USB to USB C.

Calvin Harris makes a tiny cameo in the music video for his latest single “Faking It”. The music video premiered on VEVO on Monday night. In contrast to Calvin’s tiny, few seconds-long piano-playing role, Kehlani and Lil Yachty, the performers of the song, do have a lot of visual relevance in the “Faking It” music video. Besides singing her lyrics with intense passion, Kehlani will also show the world her excellent fashion taste. She will don five different outfits in the music video. She will wear a chic large bath robe in her opening scene, then will move for a more “cool chick with a job” ensemble, then she’ll wear an all-black piece that matches the beautiful puma sitting next to her, then she’ll put on a backless dress as she stands next to piano-playing Calvin Harris, and finally she’ll wear a silk pajamas as she falls down to in a hole. As far as Lil Yachty, he will look as crazy as he always does as he raps his bridge verse.
The music video has a winter, ice, cold theme. So we guess Calvin is serious when he wants “Faking It” to be his smash hit for the upcoming low temperatures season.

Just from a little browsing it became clear to me, that this was a true gem among computer textbooks. This book described the design and implementation of an entire operating system, including its implementation programming language, drivers, windowing system, everything!
In the newer book “Compiler Construction”, also available in a free online edition, Wirth specified an even smaller subset of the Oberon language, called Oberon-0, which only offers 32-bit integers and Booleans as native types, but otherwise includes many features of the full Oberon language, including records, arrays, and procedures. The Oberon-0 compiler in Compiler Construction targets a virtual RISC machine, which is much simpler than the NS-32000 processor architecture. The complete VM reference interpreter consists of only two pages of Oberon code. The complete code for the Oberon-0 compiler fits

We have so many choices to makewas able to choose the college I wanted to attend, the country where I wanted to study abroad, the city I wanted to live in after graduation, the profession I wanted to pursue. When I was ordained I was able to take the job that was the best fit regardless of the location. In my personal life I can choose to date or not to date, I can choose whether or not to get married and if I want to have children. I can choose to be vegan or vegetarian, to eat only organic or only unprocessed foods that are not GMO. At the grocery store there are endless options for everything I want to buy from toothpaste to shampoo to nut mixes. We are very lucky to have all of these choices, but they could drive a person crazy.
O“what’s for dinner?” 4) if your feeling of accomplishment is measured in emails deleted; 5) if you are waiting in line at the grocery store and are impatient because you left your smartphone in the car; 6) if you wake up at 2amWe asked around to some of our favorite rabbis in the Twin Cities to see if they’d be willing to let us publish one of their sermons from the High Holidays 5774. We got a resounding “Yes” from those that have so far replied.
Six years ago, photographer Richard Renaldi took an enormous risk. With his camera and his heart, with vision that could see the art of the human soul, he started taking pictures. He decided to do a photographic essay of people. This is hardly new. But Renaldi’s subjects where strangers, people he literally talked to on the street, in coffee shops, at bus stops and in Grand Central Station. He invited these total strangers to pose together, while touching one another; holding hands, arms embracing, demonstrating physical affection.ace.


Once in Atenas, I really felt being in another world. When I woke up in the morning after very few hours of sleep, the smell of the vegetation, the songs of the many birds in a tree right in front of my room, the strong positive energy I could feel all around, the whole atmosphere in itself made it obvious that I was in a place that I would love to live in for the rest of my life!


When I first hatched this plan, I thought I’d send new editions out every Friday. For uninteresting reasons, that’s going to change. Starting on June 23, Miscellaneum will be sent on Mondays.

Got it out of your palate-shaming system? Good.
Here’s what I’ve been feeding my brain this week.
As I mentioned Thursday evening, I’m really troubled by the idea that other (non-Chicagoans) might have felt about the Nineties Bulls the way I feel about the Twenty-teens Heat. Even if it’s true, I don’t want to know about it because the Heat drive me crazy. (Truthfully I’m just mad that OKC didn’t make it through.)
And don’t get me started about how much better it is to be watching playoffs on a nice big new TV.
And of course my man Bob Mould just released Beauty and Ruin, so I’ve been putting that through it’s paces. Of course, nobody warned me that it’s largely about Mould dealing with the death of his father so it feels a little close at times…but also cathartic in the way that much of Bob’s best work is. That’s right, I call him Bob. We’re close like that.

I'm so glad to see you back!I missed you at your old blog!
it's good to "hear" from you again (i didn't know you had a new blog). my 2 children were both colicky so i know how hard it is for you (the thought that there's so little you can do to help your baby). every new thing she learns and discovers on her own (ie her feet, her hands) helps her to be distracted for a few moments. the "jolly jumper" was great as soon as they could support their heads - the upright position and the jumping seemed to work the gas out. and having the help of your parents so you can get away and remember who you were before is so important. and it passes...
Island Sweet- I try holding her in my moby wrap upright when she's colicky and I need to get work done. Sometimes that helps, but she mostly barfs down my shirt- haha!
i LOVE getting extras in my fiber orders!

Munich is Germany's third largest city, and sometimes it feels like it, especially when you're in the Marienplatz, which is basically Munich's town square. There are people—mostly tourists—everywhere, and sometimes it can get to be just a bit much. But then that's also the cool thing about a city like Munich. If you can get away from the tourist-y areas and have a chance to see how the people who live here spend their time, you get to come across sights like this--
A park in the middle of a roundabout called Gartner Platz, which is where the local college students hang out on a warm summer night. Believe it or not, this was just a few blocks away from the roar of the Marienplatz, but because you have to cross a busy street to get there, no one ever does.
What else did we see today? Well, since it IS Munich, a beer garden--
Why they dunked butchers in a fish fountain and not, say, a cow fountain is something about which I'm curious. It just seems logical. Butchers should get dunked on a cow fountain, and not a fish fountain. And speaking of cows, since we're in Bavaria and expect to see cows everywhere, but because we're also in Munich and really didn't really expect to see them, this picture from the side of a bus--
(And if you're REALLY serious about your chocolate? Skip trying the Cadbury Milk Chocolate Peanut Butter Oreo bars they're selling in England. They were as underwhelming as the Lindt bar was amazing. Just too many things going on at once.)


“While all charges stemming from this incident against Plaintiff Doe were eventually dropped, the appalling, exploitative, and unconstitutional nature of the Defendants' practice cannot be ignored,” the complaint said. legal experts and advocates for sexual assault survivors said the misuse of genetic information by police could keep people from reporting crimes.
At the time, a dozen crime labs in California told BuzzFeed News they do not use sexual assault survivors’ DNA to investigate crimes. But San Francisco police did so on multiple occasions: In March, Chief Bill Scott said at a public meeting that he had “cts” in unrelated investigations, according to NBC News.
