My subjects are newsmakers: Actors who have starred in Academy Award-winning movies, Olympic gold medalists, book authors, runway fashion models, titans of business, U.S. Surgeon General, and two astronauts. I am an active member of the Screen Actors Guild - American Federation of Television & Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA), and the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS).
A Ukrainian friend happened to walk by. She turned to me and said, "They keep me safe."
I am happy to know respect for law enforcement is multi-national.

Generally, all foods and over-the-counter medications returned to grocery stores are disposed of.
They are not donated or re-stocked because the store cannot guarantee the chain of who has handled the items, and that they have not been tampered with. The liability is too great.

Kansas City DJ's new mobile phenomenon is packed with musical electronics for partying pleasure.
It was on the floor and Planet Comicon, in the St. Patrick's Day Parade, and featured on Fox 4 News Kansas City.
The owner and designer, Joseph Straws III, is also know as The Mad Scientist, and this is the ultimate Mobile Music Lab for a musical scientist.

In a 16-year span, forty crimes in Europe were attributed to a woman from DNA evidence collected at each scene.
Law enforcement had no success finding her. Profilers were brought in from across Europe, and when she murdered a policewoman in Heilbronn, Germany, over 16,000 hours of overtime were logged by Heilbronn police officers. They named her the Phantom of Heilbronn.
She was never caught on security cameras; a couple of eyewitnesses claimed she appeared to be a man.
Eventually, investigators determined the "Phantom" did not exist. DNA recovered at crime scenes had already been present on the cotton swabs used by police for collecting DNA samples.
The DNA belonged to a woman who worked at the factory where the swabs were made, and she had unknowingly contaminated the swabs.
