Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/IduAs7XWVEUDay 22 of the Karen Read Retrial happened on May 28, 2025. After a brief Direct Examination by Special Prosecutor, Hank Brennan, of their Accident Reconstructionist, Dr. Welcher, Cross Examination took up the whole day and will continue on Day 23. Defense Attorney, Robert Alessi, ross-examination was rigorous and focused on challenging the credibility, methodology, and conclusions of the Commonwealth's expert witness. Dr. Welcher was repeatedly admonished by the court for looking at his computer and searching for information during the cross-examination, rather than answering directly from memory.Alessi questioned Dr. Welchre about the significant amount his firm, Aperture, was being paid by the Norfolk County District Attorney's Office ($325,000), and the details surrounding the purchase and sale of a Lexus exemplar for testing. The defense sought to highlight potential bias due to financial incentives.Alessi challenged inconsistencies in Dr. Welchre's testimony, such as the distance the Lexus traveled in reverse during a test (initially said to be 53 feet, then 87 feet), and the explanation of the 8 mph threshold for tail light breakage.Alessi delved into Dr. Welcher's use of data and images from Trooper Paul's report, questioning the extent to which Dr. Welcher relied on that information in his analysis. There was a dispute about a drone image and other diagrams, leading to a "Voir dire" (examination outside the presence of the jury) to clarify the sources of these materials.The voir dire aimed to clarify the sources of Dr. Welcher's materials and to determine the extent to which he relied on Trooper Paul's report or other evidence. It highlighted the defense's effort to question the independence of Dr. Welcher's analysis and the Commonwealth's attempt to defend it. The voir dire concluded with plans to continue the cross-examination the following day, with the understanding that time was limited due to a juror's scheduling issue.RESOURCESWhat You Need to Know About the Retrial - https://youtu.be/89Jpa8vz1RQ Karen Read Retrial Playlist - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsbUyvZas7gKOJlfL__9F027hlETVU-vo Karen Read Trial - 2024 - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsbUyvZas7gKUeCUzApgsEuQRXu5IXeTSThis podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Spotify Ad Analytics - https://www.spotify.com/us/legal/ad-analytics-privacy-policy/Podscribe - https://podscribe.com/privacy

There's nothing like the journey from dating - to love - to a marriage proposal - but there's a lot of stuff to handle before and after that pivotal "yes". To sort out this very real struggle, Gaby Alessi, who is newly engaged to her fiance Christian, and her sister-in-law Richelle Alessi sit down for a candid conversation that every soon-to-be-married couple (and those who love them) needs to hear.Drawing from real-life stories and proven lessons from their own experiences in dating and preparing for marriage, you'll get answers to questions many young couples have but few are willing to ask, like:How do you balance the excitement of engagement with the reality of what comes next?  What expectations might be lurking under the surface—and how can you talk about them before they turn into big bumps down the road?  What practical steps can set you up during your dating season for a marriage that's not just surviving, but thriving?Whether you're looking forward to your own wedding day, treasure strong relationship advice, or want to support an engaged couple, Gaby and Richelle offer laughter, honesty, and wisdom you can use right now. If you've ever wondered how to move from "will you marry me" to "I do", this episode is your must-listen guide.  ---Support the showJoin our Podience Textline!

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/IJgD247smlQDay 19 of the Karen Read Retrial happened on May 20, 2025. Defense Attorney, Robert Alessi, continued cross examining Shanon Burgess. Questions arose regarding the accuracy of dates and timeline in the expert's analysis, with errors of 24 hours. Burgess kept saying that the event happened the night of January 29-30th when in reality is it was January 28-29th. Shanon's analysis of call logs, text streams, and vehicle data was scrutinized. There were concerns about the use of approximate times and potential confirmation bias. The expert did not have the raw data for the techstream information, he instead got it from Welcher's report. During redirect examination, Special Prosecutor, Hank Brennan, attempted to clarify Burgess' credentials and data interpretation. Pointing out that he didn't need that degree to perform his job and that work life balance made it a challenge to complete his degree.On Re-Cross Examination, Alessi pointed out that in a federal court filing in Texas, Burgess' resume stated he was anticipating a BGS - Bachelor of General Science in 2024. There is no Bachelor of General Science degree in Alabama and he has been pursuing this degree since 2008. The use of the Commonwealths presenting video and audio clips, especially the voicemail, appears to be related to establishing a timeline of Karen Read's movements and actions around the time of John O'Keefe's death. The defense may use it to show her actions were consistent, while the prosecution may use it to point out inconsistencies. The 12:25/12:30 timeframe she gives for John's passing may be challenged given her audio from the voicemail at 12:41AM.Later in the day, Christina Hanley, a trace analyst expert witness from the lab testified about a mechanical match on glass. The court adjourned early after sidebar discussions. We'll get back to her on Day 20.RESOURCESRetrial Day 10 - Voicemails - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2vEF0vxG2wWhat You Need to Know About the Retrial - https://youtu.be/89Jpa8vz1RQ Karen Read Retrial Playlist - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsbUyvZas7gKOJlfL__9F027hlETVU-vo Karen Read Trial - 2024 - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsbUyvZas7gKUeCUzApgsEuQRXu5IXeTSThis podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Spotify Ad Analytics - https://www.spotify.com/us/legal/ad-analytics-privacy-policy/Podscribe - https://podscribe.com/privacy

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/Hi_HNpRVySADay 18 of the Karen Read Retrial happened on May 19, 2025. Shanon Burgess, a Digital Forensic Examiner from Aperture, is witness number 35. His testimony revolves around correlating the timing of events from Karen Read's Lexus vehicle data and John O'Keefe's phone location data.Burgess provided detailed explanations of Lexus infotainment system data (Lexus clock and techstream data), key cycles, triggering events (like a three-point turn), and how this data was correlated with the data from John O'Keefe's iPhone. Time variances between the Lexus clock and the iPhone clock and the significance of these variances in relation to when O'Keefe's phone was locked.Defense Attorney, Robert Alessi, strongly challenged Burgess's credibility during cross examination by highlighting discrepancies and potential misrepresentations in his CV (resume), Aperture website information, and LinkedIn profile concerning his educational background and degrees. Questions were also raised about a report Burgess submitted on May 8th, at the request of the prosecution. Burgess stated he did it on his own initiative due to the report from the Defense's expert. It was thought that he did it at the request of the prosecutor but attributed the "per your request" statement to a copy-paste error.Alessi further challenged Burgess's understanding of data storage (megabits vs. megabytes) and the completeness of data extractions from the vehicle's chips. This could significantly impact the jury's perception of Shanon's testimony and the prosecution's case. The errors and inconsistencies in his statements, reports, and qualifications raise serious questions about the reliability of his expert opinions. There's more cross examination to come on Day 19.RESOURCESWhat You Need to Know About the Retrial - https://youtu.be/89Jpa8vz1RQ Karen Read Retrial Playlist - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsbUyvZas7gKOJlfL__9F027hlETVU-vo Karen Read Trial - 2024 - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsbUyvZas7gKUeCUzApgsEuQRXu5IXeTSThis podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Spotify Ad Analytics - https://www.spotify.com/us/legal/ad-analytics-privacy-policy/Podscribe - https://podscribe.com/privacy

On day 18 of Karen Read's retrial, Shanon Burgess a digital forensic examiner for Aperture testified that Karen Read's car had a collision & just after John O'Keefe's phone stopped moving forever. On cross, Alessi gets Burgess caught in a lie on his resume but no such lies are told under oath. Does the fib on Burgess' LinkedIn resume discredit his testimony?

'Trial by Ambush' Karen Read's Defense Freaks Out Over Car Data Evidence That Could Show John Being Struck In a dramatic twist after the jury exited the courtroom, Karen Read's legal team accused prosecutors of pulling a classic courtroom ambush. The issue? A new expert report quietly slipped in just days ago—centered around a so-called “trigger event” in Read's SUV. This data could suggest when the vehicle detected an impact, potentially pointing to the moment John O'Keefe was struck. But defense attorney Robert Alessi wasn't having it. He fired back, calling the late filing “inexcusable” and a “tactical maneuver” meant to sandbag the defense. According to Alessi, the prosecution is playing dirty by delivering expert interpretation at the eleventh hour, with no time for the defense to analyze, cross-examine, or respond. In his words, this wasn't disclosure—it was a setup. Prosecutor Hank Brennan countered, claiming it's not new evidence at all—just a clearer explanation of data already turned over. But the defense says that kind of spin, introduced this late, could unfairly tip the scales before they've had a chance to fight back. Judge Cannone didn't rule immediately on whether the report would be excluded—but the courtroom tension was undeniable. This moment cuts to the heart of fairness in trial prep: Can prosecutors get away with reframing evidence days before it lands in front of a jury? We break down exactly what's at stake in this critical behind-the-scenes moment and how it could shift the trajectory of the Karen Read trial. #KarenRead #JohnOKeefe #HiddenKillers #TrialDrama #LegalStrategy #CourtroomClash #DiscoveryDispute #TrueCrimeNow #JusticeWatch #TriggerEventData Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Robert Alessi made the loathesome decision of showing the jury graphic autopsy photos of John O'Keefe's stomach and apparently horrifies the jury. Also, Karen Read's lawyers Elizabeth Little, Alan Jackson and David Yannetti put Karen Read's pro-bono lawyer Robert Alessi up to the task of arguing that they are being ambushed and accuse Hank Brennan & the Commonwealth of a rule 14 violation by making a slight admendment to an expert's presentation. Alessi accuses the Commonwealth of doing it on purpose then retreats.

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/onTVtSxM5QwDay 15 of the Karen Read Retrial happened on May 14, 2025, after an unexpected court cancellation the day before due to Karen Read reportedly feeling unwell. The day began with the prosecution presenting two clips of Karen Read that were difficult to hear. Testimony was then given by John O'Keefe's niece (not broadcast), followed by several scientific witnesses from the Massachusetts State Police and Needham PD.Key testimony focused on evidence collection and documentation related to Karen Read's SUV. Trooper Zachary Clark presented photos of the SUV, while Trooper Evan Brent provided photos of John O'Keefe's Chevy Traverse. Sergeant Brian Gallerani testified about collecting swabs for DNA testing from Proctor and Bukhenik. Marine Hartnett from the state police crime lab discussed the processing of Karen Read's SUV, including documenting glass pieces, scratches, dents, and a hair found on the vehicle.An unexpected moment occurred when Hartnett opened an evidence bag in court and found items she did not expect, leading to a sidebar, recess, and lunch break. This raised concerns about evidence handling and the accuracy of what was in the bag.During cross-examination, defense attorney Robert Alessi questioned Hartnett about the number of stickers used to mark glass on the bumper, suggesting there might only be one sticker and a reflection, thus potentially doubling the amount of perceived glass. Alessi also focused on a hair found on the SUV, questioning if it had moved or changed position between photos due to different angles or other factors.The court also viewed previously unseen video footage from the Sallyport showing snow melting and falling off Karen Read's SUV. Alessi highlighted this footage, suggesting the snow hit the car bumper and glass should have fallen off.The day concluded with continued questions regarding the hair on the vehicle and its potential movement or presence despite the melting snow. The scientific foundation is being laid for the reconstructionist from both sides. The possibility of ending with the Commonwealth's accident reconstructionist is discussed.RESOURCESWhat You Need to Know About the Retrial - https://youtu.be/89Jpa8vz1RQ Karen Read Retrial Playlist - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsbUyvZas7gKOJlfL__9F027hlETVU-vo Karen Read Trial - 2024 - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsbUyvZas7gKUeCUzApgsEuQRXu5IXeTSThis podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Spotify Ad Analytics - https://www.spotify.com/us/legal/ad-analytics-privacy-policy/Podscribe - https://podscribe.com/privacy

According to Tom Niehaus, Executive Vice President at CTG, securing your own organization is not enough to prevent attacks. "You might do the best job in the world," but if your suppliers or business associates aren't secure, "your organization remains vulnerable." In this video, Niehaus and Chad Alessi, Managing Director of Cybersecurity at CTG, discuss some of today's challenges and how Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Zero Trust can help.Alessi warns that threat actors are already weaponizing AI to probe networks for vulnerabilities at an unprecedented speed and scale. In response, he advocates for defensive AI systems that can analyze network behavior patterns and detect anomalies invisible to traditional security tools.Learn more about CTG: https://www.ctg.com/industries/healthcareHealth IT Community: https://www.healthcareittoday.com/

In this "Best of TFB" flashback, we're going back in time to revisit one of our most memorable episodes: “Confessions of a Control Freak.” This was one of our most honest, light-hearted, and revealing discussions about what it really means to be labeled a “control freak”—both at home and in business.

As Dr. Derek Alessi shares, the first step on the journey to a healthier lifestyle is adopting the correct mindset.

Changes in nutrition and exercise habits will help change our body composition, which Dr. Alessi details is one of the key indicators to disease and premature death.A health and fitness professional for over 30 years, Dr. Derek Alessi is the CEO of Strength Genesis.

Today's guest has a fascinating story and weight loss transformation and his reason for it was very interesting as you'll hear. While this is a wide ranging conversation, our central theme in this talk is how to find the right lifestyle for you after 45 and the big pillars that contribute to it. Dr. Derek Alessi, Ph.D became interested in the field of fitness training at an early age when he was an obese teenager.  Determined to change his health, body and ultimately his future, he began strength training and developed a system to modify his nutrition.  Derek dropped over 80-pounds in one year and later that same year, he entered his first and only body building contest. Disenchanted with the way body building tends to minimize health and well-being in order to encourage raw size, he left that arena and dedicated his career to helping individuals achieve better health and wellness through a program of planned exercise and practical nutrition. At the age of 19, Derek passed a national fitness certification exam and began his career in personal fitness training.  He furthered his quest for more information through education and received post-graduate degrees in health and physical education as well as a master's degree in nutrition. Dr. Derek is the author of The Bermuda Triangle Diet (October, 2009 Strategic Publishing), Lose Fat Forever (2003), and The Promise Health and Fitness System (2002 ).  Derek has earned a doctorate degree in health and physical education and a master's degree in nutrition.  He is also a National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) trainer.  He owns and operates Dr. Derek Health & Fitness, a private practice, a personal training facility for adults in East Amherst New York.  He has appeared on over 2100-TV and 400-radio programs throughout the country and has been featured in national print media including Maxim, Burn Fitness for Women and Iron-Man Magazines. Dr. Derek is a health, fitness and lifestyle contributor for the USA Today and the host of weekly TV show on NBC Cleveland & NBC in Buffalo, New York called Live It Fit Now!   In addition, Dr. Derek conducts regular health and fitness seminars for the health care industry, Fortune 1000 companies, and small businesses where he combines his unique brand of humor, empathy and knowledge to communicate his positive, affirming message:  Make the Most of Your Life… Live It Fit!™   Time Stamps:   (2:40) Losing 80 Pounds To Be A Dentist (6:15) Nair and Finding Competing Wasn't For Him (11:10) Opinion on GLP-1's (13:20) Biggest Mindset Shift (21:40) First Steps For Weight Loss (22:38) The Right Diet (25:05) True Keto Salad Dressing (34:05) The Right Exercise (37:00) Training Heavy In Midlife and Beyond (42:10) Women vs Men  (53:16) Choosing Your Curious (54:10) Where To Find Strength Genesis and Dr. Derek -------------------- Strength Genesis - My affiliate link: https://strengthgenesis.com?sca_ref=8302855.oUM0WRDjy5yg https://alessifit.com/ https://www.instagram.com/alessifitness/ -------------------- Slim Stomach Solution Program: https://www.carolcovino.com/slim-stomach-solution/ -------------------- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carolcovinofitness/ -------------------- My YouTube Channel: http://youtube.com/@carolcovinofitness

At Karen Read's March 4th Hearing, the courtroom was buzzing with activity, and several key issues were addressed. Brennan officially confirmed that there is no longer a federal investigation into the John O'Keefe death case or related matters. This announcement comes after the defense previously invoked a "Federal investigation," which has now been clarified as closed.The Judge questioned Alessi about the defense's disclosure of payments made to ARCCA experts. The court was not pleased that the payment records were not disclosed alongside the initial invoice. The defense clarified the timeline of when they learned of the payment and why it wasn't disclosed immediately.The Commonwealth filed a motion for sanctions against the defense for allegedly violating a protective order by including certain testimony and text messages in a motion for reconsideration. The defense acknowledged an error but did not file a formal correction with the court. The Commonwealth requested an unofficial "gag order" in the case, which the court is considering.The judge has taken up on advisement about where or not to do a Daubert Hearing on the Commonwealth's Expert Witnesses- James Crosby and Robert Gilman. The case is heating up, and tensions are high as both sides prepare for a fierce legal battle the next day on March 5th.Watch the full coverage: https://youtube.com/live/TL80PyTJOUkRESOURCESDefense's Habeas Petition - https://youtube.com/live/hQjZkiAIVkcThis podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Spotify Ad Analytics - https://www.spotify.com/us/legal/ad-analytics-privacy-policy/Podscribe - https://podscribe.com/privacy

Karen Read's Defense Under Fire The $23,000 Invoice and a Judge's “Grave Concern” Judge Beverly Cannone's abrupt decision to halt a motions hearing on February 18 wasn't just a procedural hiccup—it was a red flag. Whatever information had landed on her desk that day was serious enough to stop the proceedings cold. By the time she returned to the bench on February 25, she wasted no time getting to the point: she had learned of a previously undisclosed relationship between Karen Read's defense attorneys and expert witnesses from her first trial. And she was, in her words, “gravely concerned.” Read, accused of killing her boyfriend, Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe, by allegedly striking him with her SUV and leaving him to die in the snow, was granted a mistrial when the jury couldn't reach a unanimous verdict. Her defense maintains that she is innocent, the target of a massive cover-up involving law enforcement, and now, they find themselves battling a new set of accusations—ones that have nothing to do with what happened on that winter night but everything to do with how they presented their case in court. At the heart of the latest legal battle are two accident reconstruction experts, initially hired by federal investigators, who later testified for Read's defense. Back during the trial, her attorneys, Alan Jackson and David Yanetti, assured Judge Cannone that they had no direct contact with these experts before their testimony. But on February 18, Special Prosecutor Hank Brennan called that claim into question, dropping documents that told a different story—emails, messages, and, perhaps most damning, a $23,000 invoice. That invoice, dated July 12—one month after Read's trial ended in a mistrial—billed Read's team for services provided by the very experts they had allegedly never spoken with. Brennan framed this as a problem, not because the experts were paid, but because the communication surrounding them was, at best, incomplete and, at worst, misleading. Robert Alessi, the latest addition to Read's defense team, took the lead in addressing the court, explaining that all communication with the experts was handled through Jackson and was strictly about coordinating testimony. He insisted that the reports these experts provided were written long before the trial and remained unchanged—meaning their conclusions were not shaped by the defense. Then came the explanation for the invoice. Alessi didn't downplay the surprise factor. “It came out of the blue! It came out of the blue!” he exclaimed, describing how the bill landed in Jackson's office post-mistrial, leaving everyone stunned. He maintained that before making the payment, Jackson checked with the U.S. Attorney's Office to confirm everything was above board. That revelation was news to Brennan, who responded, “It wasn't until your honor asked today that we even knew the defense paid this bill.” After Alessi laid out the defense's position, Judge Cannone turned to Jackson, Yanetti, and Read's other attorney, Elizabeth Little, asking each of them directly whether they disputed his account. They didn't. But Brennan wasn't satisfied. He accused Read's defense team of routinely playing fast and loose with court rules. He dismissed the issues they were calling minor, likening them to “a raindrop in a hurricane” of procedural violations. He insisted that he wasn't trying to block the expert witnesses from testifying in Read's second trial—he just wanted access to the full discovery materials he was legally entitled to. He also took issue with what he called the “murky” nature of the defense's interactions with the U.S. Attorney's Office, arguing that the gaps in communication raised more questions than answers. By the time Judge Cannone adjourned for the day, there was no resolution—just more uncertainty. The hearing is set to continue on March 4, with the possibility of stretching beyond that.

Judge Beverly Cannone's abrupt decision to halt a motions hearing on February 18 wasn't just a procedural hiccup—it was a red flag. Whatever information had landed on her desk that day was serious enough to stop the proceedings cold. By the time she returned to the bench on February 25, she wasted no time getting to the point: she had learned of a previously undisclosed relationship between Karen Read's defense attorneys and expert witnesses from her first trial. And she was, in her words, “gravely concerned.” Read, accused of killing her boyfriend, Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe, by allegedly striking him with her SUV and leaving him to die in the snow, was granted a mistrial when the jury couldn't reach a unanimous verdict. Her defense maintains that she is innocent, the target of a massive cover-up involving law enforcement, and now, they find themselves battling a new set of accusations—ones that have nothing to do with what happened on that winter night but everything to do with how they presented their case in court. At the heart of the latest legal battle are two accident reconstruction experts, initially hired by federal investigators, who later testified for Read's defense. Back during the trial, her attorneys, Alan Jackson and David Yanetti, assured Judge Cannone that they had no direct contact with these experts before their testimony. But on February 18, Special Prosecutor Hank Brennan called that claim into question, dropping documents that told a different story—emails, messages, and, perhaps most damning, a $23,000 invoice. That invoice, dated July 12—one month after Read's trial ended in a mistrial—billed Read's team for services provided by the very experts they had allegedly never spoken with. Brennan framed this as a problem, not because the experts were paid, but because the communication surrounding them was, at best, incomplete and, at worst, misleading. Robert Alessi, the latest addition to Read's defense team, took the lead in addressing the court, explaining that all communication with the experts was handled through Jackson and was strictly about coordinating testimony. He insisted that the reports these experts provided were written long before the trial and remained unchanged—meaning their conclusions were not shaped by the defense. Then came the explanation for the invoice. Alessi didn't downplay the surprise factor. “It came out of the blue! It came out of the blue!” he exclaimed, describing how the bill landed in Jackson's office post-mistrial, leaving everyone stunned. He maintained that before making the payment, Jackson checked with the U.S. Attorney's Office to confirm everything was above board. That revelation was news to Brennan, who responded, “It wasn't until your honor asked today that we even knew the defense paid this bill.” After Alessi laid out the defense's position, Judge Cannone turned to Jackson, Yanetti, and Read's other attorney, Elizabeth Little, asking each of them directly whether they disputed his account. They didn't. But Brennan wasn't satisfied. He accused Read's defense team of routinely playing fast and loose with court rules. He dismissed the issues they were calling minor, likening them to “a raindrop in a hurricane” of procedural violations. He insisted that he wasn't trying to block the expert witnesses from testifying in Read's second trial—he just wanted access to the full discovery materials he was legally entitled to. He also took issue with what he called the “murky” nature of the defense's interactions with the U.S. Attorney's Office, arguing that the gaps in communication raised more questions than answers. By the time Judge Cannone adjourned for the day, there was no resolution—just more uncertainty. The hearing is set to continue on March 4, with the possibility of stretching beyond that.

The prosecution has asked for a hearing to determine whether or not Mr. Green, Karen Read's digital forensic expert, can testify. The defense argued that all forensic experts use the same methodology—they take the digital extraction, run it through different tools, and interpret the information. The defense also argued that the prosecution's efforts to prevent the expert from testifying are "dystopian" and "Orwellian." The defense asked the court to deny the motion and not have a Daubert Hearing.The prosecution's police expert, Trooper Guarino, ran Jen McCabe's phone through two different analyzer programs and one program indicated that the Google search was there, and that was not turned over to the defense in the initial report.It'll be interesting to see what happens Friday's hearing and we'll be paying attention to how many times Mr. Alessi says "Orwellian" and if the court brings up the ACCRA experts and the discovery issue.Watch the full coverage: https://youtube.com/live/7dNN7AE5mekThis podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Spotify Ad Analytics - https://www.spotify.com/us/legal/ad-analytics-privacy-policy/Podscribe - https://podscribe.com/privacy
