#Police Have Reportedly Used #LicensePlate Readers to #Stalk Romantic Interests at Least 14 Times in Recent Years
Police #surveillance has led to repeated abuse. One shockingly common form: police officers using #ALPR networks to keep tabs on romantic interests, partners, exes, and even strangers who caught their eye in public. Most incidents came to light only after victims reported officers’ behavior to police, typically in the context of a broader #stalking allegation.

#Cops Keep Getting Arrested for Using #Flock to #Stalk People
There have been over a dozen cases around #US where police use Flock to obsessively and illegally stalk
Cases highlight fact that Flock can be used to track whereabouts of individual people, #police do not get a #warrant in order to use system, and that, if they have access to the system, they have technical ability to look up any #licenseplate they want for any reason they want

To The Surprise Of No One, #Cops Are Using #ALPR #Cameras To #Stalk Their Exes | Techdirt
That’s the upshot of this report from the Institute for #Justice, which has been #tracking what cops have been tracking now that they have always-on access to massive networks of #security cameras, including #Flock Safety’s controversial offerings, which also include automatic license plate readers (ALPR)

*** The Red Stalker ***“What’s that?” the little girl said, pointing to a small red face with pointed ears. Its large, ice-blue eyes peered out from under the kotatsu. An unlit cigarette dangling from its mouth.
Her mother continued, calmly brushing her daughter’s hair. “What, dear?”
“The little man. He follows me around.”
“That’s the ‘The Red Stalker.’ Aunt Matsumoto brought him home from America. When she opened her suitcase, it was tangled up in her…” Mother Yoshioka paused, thinking of how to say this delicately. “Tangled in her clothes. It’s been living in the attic ever since.”
“It’s always writing what I do in a book.”
“If you’re a good girl, they will bring you good luck, like a Zashiki Warashi. If you’re bad, they punish you. They keep track of everything you do, naughty and nice, in that book.”
“Everything naughty? Like when I don’t share my toys or run in the house.”
“Yes, like that. But they also keep track of when you clean your room or brush your teeth without being told.”
The girl cried softly, thinking about all the times she snuck treats before dinner.
“But I know a secret. Do you want to know it?” the mother whispered.
Her daughter’s head nodded.
“It’s easily bribed with cookies, mochi, or milk. This one has a fondness for celery stalks stuffed with peanut butter.”
“Oh!” the little girl began smiling again

Clade 2.3.4.4b #H5N1 #neuraminidase has a long #stalk, which is in contrast to most highly pathogenic H5N1 viruses circulating between 2002 and 2020, https://etidiohnew.blogspot.com/2025/02/clade-2344b-h5n1-neuraminidase-has-long.html

Deglycosylation and #truncation in the #neuraminidase #stalk are functionally equivalent in enhancing the #pathogenicity of a HPAI virus in #chickens, https://etidiohnew.blogspot.com/2025/02/deglycosylation-and-truncation-in.html

Anti- #neuraminidase and anti- #hemagglutinin #stalk responses to different #influenza A(#H7N9) #vaccine regimens, https://etidiohnew.blogspot.com/2025/01/anti-neuraminidase-and-anti.html

The #host #tropism of current #zoonotic #H7N9 viruses depends mainly on an acid-labile #hemagglutinin with a single amino acid #mutation in the #stalk region
Source: PLoS Pathogens, AbstractThe incidence of human infection by zoonotic avian influenza viruses, especially H5N1 and H7N9 viruses, has increased. Current zoonotic H7N9 avian influenza viruses (identified since 2013) emerged during reassortment of viruses belonging to different subtypes. Despite analyses of…

#Targets of #influenza #Human T cell #response are mostly conserved in #H5N1, BioRxIV: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.09.09.612060v1
Based on these observations, and overall similarity of #neuraminidase (NA) N1 subtype encoded in both #HPAI and seasonal #H1N1 influenza virus as well as cross-reactive group 1 HA #stalk-reactive #antibodies, we expect that a degree of pre-existing #immunity is present in general human population that could blunt severity of human H5N1 infections.

Avian #influenza virus #NA #stalk length & #HA #glycosylation patterns reveal molecularly directed #reassortment promoting emergence of highly pathogenic #clade 2.3.4.4b A (#H5N1) viruses http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2024.05.22.595329v1?rss=1
These observations led us to establish and validate hypothesis that pairing of avian virus HA & NA subtypes is not stochastic but is rather molecularly programmed by HA glycosylation & NA stalk length, modulating fitness & emergence of novel avian influenza viruses.

#Hemagglutinin #stalk-specific Fc-mediated functions are associated with #protection against #influenza-illness after seasonal influenza #vaccination in #pregnant women https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38743692/?utm_source=Feedly&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=None&utm_content=1fgJURi2yzLesFml6et0Bb6krzs_FrNIYgPYVFN50JPwVNFg9s&fc=None&ff=20240515090509&v=2.18.0.post9+e462414
CONCLUSION: H1 stalk-specific ADCD correlates with protection against influenza-illness following influenza vaccination during pregnancy. These findings provide insight into the protective mechanisms of HA stalk antibodies.

#STALK
Ein (im Hacking) begabter Student wird zum Stalker.Ich finde eine interessant erzählte Story. Recht rasant. Keine langen „Erzähl Pausen“. Auch wenn vieles vielleicht etwas stark vereinfacht dargestellt wird, solche Dinge passieren (ganz sicher, genau so) im wahren Leben. Interessant wie er seinen Prof. gehackt hat. Und der, als Black- und/oder White-Hat , hätte es besser wissen sollen. Toll gespielte Szene, als ihm, dass bewusst wird.

CW: Fungi creating zombie ants..!
#funfact | Some fungi create #zombie ants. Yes, you read that right: zombie #ants! The fungus responsible is the Ophiocordyceps unilateralis, found deep in the #Amazon rainforest. This sinister #parasite infects the carpenter ant, growing through its body before eventually taking over its brain. It then compels the poor, hijacked #insect to leave its nest and climb to a nearby #plant – which just so happens to be in the perfect environmental conditions for fungus #growth.
Here, over a number of days, it consumes the ant’s innards and sends a long #stalk through its head, growing into a capsule of #spores. These rain down on other unsuspecting victims, continuing the grim #cycle.
