#CalTrain deputy director Joseph Vincent Navarro found #guilty of misappropriation of $40k in public funds for conspiring with contractor during pandemic era and converting #Burlingame train station office into secret personal residential getaway with private gym.

Navarro, who now lives in Pennsylvania and previously told the #MercuryNews that his criminal charge was “overstated” and that he did nothing wrong. His co-conspirator #contractor had built himself similar living quarters inside the #Millbrae Cal #trainstation and plead #guilty, turning States #evidence against Navarro.

Navarro , whose attorneys claimed it was not a #secret , that he had given the key to his secretary, allowed his girlfriend to stay there, and the conversion was done with knowledge of his supervisor, still faces sentencing under judge's discretion which could range from actual #prison time, to more likely #probation.

Joseph Navarro faced one felony count turning a section of the Burlingame train station into an apartment, complete with a bedroom, a gym and a living room, prosecutors said at the trial. After several days of testimony and closing arguments on Tuesday, the jury began its deliberations Wednesday morning and came to a consensus in the afternoon. The jury also found true that the charges were filed within the proper statute of limitations, which is three years of when the crime is discovered or should have been discovered. Defense lawyers had argued that the initial discovery should have meant the charges were filed too late. “We're very pleased that the jury was able to see through the defense and recognize that he had no authorization ."

Bologna is a very welcoming city, but she has a lot of secrets. Sometimes you stumble into a part of the city and it feels like a completely different world! There are so many small side streets, secluded gardens and hidden gems to find! ✨

Anything you print in color is traceable to your printer, because of hidden patterns of yellow dots

Printing in black & white defeats that particular tracking method

However printer manufacturers could also have worked with governments to add different secret tracking that work in black & white

So to keep a source #secret, never reproduce printed output except by retyping it, or otherwise extracting to plain text

From a couple of weeks ago, a drift of Tulip 'Orange emperor’, who were lucky to escape the muntjac’s attention.
This cultivar was, apparently, introduced in 1962 by the the Dutch grower J.W.A. Lefeber. Back then, he could not have imagined that the name, Orange Emperor, would acquire such an unsavoury meaning more than sixty years later.
Let’s keep this our #secret. Somebody might think that they named a tulip after him.

Also seriously exciting is this new paper from @zhgarfield with Sheina Lew-Levy on leadership and transmission of 'opaque culture' (read #ritual #secret knowledge) in 23 'egalitarian' hunter-gatherer groups

This is the major type of teaching that matters with #huntergatherers. I will take a good look at whether these are truly GENDER egalitarian groups. That is basically determined by women's ritual secret knowledge and performance of ritual action.

NatureTeaching is associated with the transmission of opaque culture and leadership across 23 egalitarian hunter-gatherer societies - Nature CommunicationsTeaching and leadership are under-studied in connection with the opaque norms that underpin cooperation. The authors show that among egalitarian foragers, influential individuals often pass on these norms, hinting at a possible relationship between leadership and cooperative teaching.
