Re: the camera, I will say that we have an Arlo doorbell camera and if people are going in and out a lot, the notifications do get really annoying and I mute them for an hour. Clips will still be recorded though.
When I looked up the Blink cameras yesterday it said their options are arm or disarm (rather than mute). It sounds like you might have to go into your phone settings to put the Blink notifications on “do not disturb,” which is less intuitive than just disarming the camera in the Blink app. Can anyone who uses Blink advise if this is accurate?
Part of evicting someone is providing a document called a non military affidavit. You get it from the military manpower site by typing in a name. I don’t know if it will list if anyone was ever in the military or just currently as we use it.
There would be no real record outside of what is in the DOD personnel archives. He hasn’t been running around and screaming about being a Marine like many USMC of this era do and it’s very likely that he either did enlist and failed in training due to his personal problems or never got to basic to begin with. We don’t know the history of his drug use, but he certainly wouldn’t have gotten a waiver for testing positive for drugs, even in the late 90’s, when he would have been enlisting out of HS.
OK crime lab students. Here is the slightly expanded version of Blood 101. Blood is comprised of several different components: red blood cells (disc shaped), white blood cells (not red, and usually involved with immune response), platelets (clotting) and various proteins and other good stuff floating in a salty liquid called serum. We’re going to talk about red blood cells (RBCs).
The cell wall of RBCs isn’t red. What the cells contain is what gives them their color, and the main ingredient is hemoglobin. Hemoglobin has the magic property of binding oxygen and then delivering it around the body via the arteries then returning to the lungs via the veins to pick up more oxygen. Oxygenated hemoglobin is bright red. Once it’s delivered its oxygen it is a darker red (which is why the blood in the test tube drawn from your arm is darker red: it’s being drawn from a vein).
Hemoglobin stains just about anything it comes in contact with. Yes peroxide can help as can some enzymatic treatments. But the trick is to not let the hemoglobin out of the RBC as it can’t stain if it’s still in the intact cell.
What can cause a cell to break open (lyse)? WATER. Plain old water. Like rain. Lots of other stuff too like acids, crushing the cell, pretty much anything except a water/ salt solution similar to the ratio in serum. This is called normal saline. So if you cut yourself and get blood on your clothes, your first action after gently blotting up what you can, is to make up a salt water mix and use that to rinse it off. If you get the red blood cells off intact, the hemoglobin won’t stain.
If there was blood on the sweatshirt, or even a red blouse, rain would have caused the blood to stain.
I wonder if MB knew this?
It would explain, considering the previous threats and altercations, bringing a weapon against a person trained in hand to hand combat (ie a weapon)… I think
