A BBC investigation has found that YouTube stars are being paid to advertise academic cheating, with more than 250 channels promoting a Ukraine-based site that allows students to buy essays.
Purchasing ghost-written essays is not illegal and does not pose plagiarism risks since it is brand-new content. But, it does raise questions about academic fraud, since students submit them as their own work.
Some YouTube personalities as young as 12 were being paid to personally endorse EduBirdie's services. in some of the videos, the YouTube personality has suggested to have a "super smart nerd" to the work, according to BBC.

PrePay...

A Chinese restaurant in Toronto has been ordered to pay a black customer $10,000 after a government human rights tribunal found the establishment discriminated against him by making him and three friends pay for their food before being served.
Emile Wickham, 31, filed a complaint with the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario against the Hong Shing Chinese restaurant, where he and his friends, all black, dined on his birthday on May 3, 2014, and discovered that they were likely the only party asked to prepay for their order. 
It seems that this is a set up. If the service is bad, go to another restaurant.

By Sunday night, the drumbeat of criticism had grown so loud that Margaret Talev, the head of the White House Correspondents' Association, released a follow-up statement saying Michelle Wolf  whose name she didn't repeat  undercut the point of the dinner.
Wolf delivered harsh and stinging remarks about Democrats, Republicans, President Donald Trump's adult children, Kellyanne Conway and WH Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
C-SPAN radio stopped broadcasting her performance more than halfway through Saturday night and replayed an episode of "Washington Journal," instead.  
It wasn't funny at all.

Puzzle...

The pieces of the puzzle.   
In the early 2000s, investigators were able to obtain DNA from the unknown killer from the 1980 double murder  in Ventura County, California.
Investigators plugged the mystery killer's DNA into a genealogy database. Based on the pool of people on the genealogy website, investigators were then able to build a family tree of the unknown killer’s relatives. They narrowed the search based on age, location and other characteristics, eventually leading them to DeAngelo.
Authorities surveilled DeAngelo and collected his discarded DNA.  Investigators plugged his discarded DNA back into the genealogy database and found a match, linking DeAngelo's DNA to the DNA gathered at multiple crime scenes.
DeAngelo was taken into custody at his home in Sacramento County, the same county where his alleged 10-year crime spree began. [ABC].
