Here they go again, another big tech Antitrust suit.

The DOJ along with New Jersey, Arizona, Calif, Washington D.C., Connecticut, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New York, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, Tennessee, Vermont, Wisconsin. Complaint goes all the way back to the Apple iPod.

Quote:Apple’s Broad-Based, Exclusionary Conduct Makes It Harder for Americans to Switch Smartphones, Undermines Innovation for Apps, Products, and Services, and Imposes Extraordinary Costs on Developers, Businesses, and Consumers

The Justice Department, joined by 16 other state and district attorneys general, filed a civil antitrust lawsuit against Apple for monopolization or attempted monopolization of smartphone markets in violation of Section 2 of the Sherman Act.

The complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey, alleges that Apple illegally maintains a monopoly over smartphones by selectively imposing contractual restrictions on, and withholding critical access points from, developers. Apple undermines apps, products, and services that would otherwise make users less reliant on the iPhone, promote interoperability, and lower costs for consumers and developers. Apple exercises its monopoly power to extract more money from consumers, developers, content creators, artists, publishers, small businesses, and merchants, among others. Through this monopolization lawsuit, the Justice Department and state Attorneys General are seeking relief to restore competition to these vital markets on behalf of the American public.

“Consumers should not have to pay higher prices because companies violate the antitrust laws,” said Attorney General Merrick B. Garland. “We allege that Apple has maintained monopoly power in the smartphone market, not simply by staying ahead of the competition on the merits, but by violating federal antitrust law. If left unchallenged, Apple will only continue to strengthen its smartphone monopoly. The Justice Department will vigorously enforce antitrust laws that protect consumers from higher prices and fewer choices. That is the Justice Department’s legal obligation and what the American people expect and deserve.”

“No matter how powerful, no matter how prominent, no matter how popular — no company is above the law,” said Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco. “Through today’s action, we reaffirm our unwavering commitment to that principle.”

“When corporations engage in anticompetitive conduct, the American people and our economy suffer,” said Acting Associate Attorney General Benjamin C. Mizer. “Today’s action against Apple sends a strong signal to those seeking to box out competitors and stifle innovation — that the Justice Department is committed to using every tool available to advance economic justice and root out anticompetitive practices, wherever they arise.”

“For years, Apple responded to competitive threats by imposing a series of “Whac-A-Mole” contractual rules and restrictions that have allowed Apple to extract higher prices from consumers, impose higher fees on developers and creators, and to throttle competitive alternatives from rival technologies,” said Assistant Attorney General Jonathan Kanter of the Justice Department’s Antitrust Division. “Today’s lawsuit seeks to hold Apple accountable and ensure it cannot deploy the same, unlawful playbook in other vital markets.”

As alleged in the complaint, Apple has monopoly power in the smartphone and performance smartphones markets, and it uses its control over the iPhone to engage in a broad, sustained, and illegal course of conduct. This anticompetitive behavior is designed to maintain Apple’s monopoly power while extracting as much revenue as possible. The complaint alleges that Apple’s anticompetitive course of conduct has taken several forms, many of which continue to evolve today, including:

• Blocking Innovative Super Apps. Apple has disrupted the growth of apps with broad functionality that would make it easier for consumers to switch between competing smartphone platforms.
  
• Suppressing Mobile Cloud Streaming Services. Apple has blocked the development of cloud-streaming apps and services that would allow consumers to enjoy high-quality video games and other cloud-based applications without having to pay for expensive smartphone hardware.
  
• Excluding Cross-Platform Messaging Apps. Apple has made the quality of cross-platform messaging worse, less innovative, and less secure for users so that its customers have to keep buying iPhones.
  
• Diminishing the Functionality of Non-Apple Smartwatches. Apple has limited the functionality of third-party smartwatches so that users who purchase the Apple Watch face substantial out-of-pocket costs if they do not keep buying iPhones.
  
• Limiting Third Party Digital Wallets. Apple has prevented third-party apps from offering tap-to-pay functionality, inhibiting the creation of cross-platform third-party digital wallets.
  

The complaint also alleges that Apple’s conduct extends beyond these examples, affecting web browsers, video communication, news subscriptions, entertainment, automotive services, advertising, location services, and more. Apple has every incentive to extend and expand its course of conduct to acquire and maintain power over next-frontier devices and technologies.

For over a century, the Department has enforced the antitrust laws against illegal monopolies, deploying the Sherman Act to unfetter markets and restore competition. As alleged in the complaint, the Department is seeking equitable relief on behalf of the American public to redress Apple’s long-running, pervasive anticompetitive conduct.

Apple Inc. is a publicly traded company incorporated in California and headquartered in Cupertino, California. In fiscal year 2023, Apple generated annual net revenues of $383 billion and net income of $97 billion. Apple’s net income exceeds any other company in the Fortune 500 and the gross domestic products of more than 100 countries.

My sister-in-law is a "Resident Alien" fan. I will admit that I did not give octopi much thought until watching this show with her, and having this video show up in my feed. I think maybe we should have a closer look at the octopus.




Now I find them not just fascinating, But I have to ask myself, what if they too, over time, have came out of the water? I mean, really came out of the water.

I get a bunch of garbage in my Feed, but sometimes I luck up on a jewel. I ran across this in my Feed this morning and I have to admit that it got the gears to turning.

This video tries to pass of a lot of information in a short amount of time. It stirs up a ton of questions, because the subject is very complex.

I could not get pass just how such large number of haplogroups show up through migration. I would think that war and combat had a lot to do with it.

In order for there to be such a large number of breakaways, there had to be others with whom the migrants mated. But it seems that those breakaways were a part of the original groups at one time.

While it is not odd that those newer migrants, would eventually create their own haplogroups. I just don't see that occurring in such large numbers. Most tribes do not welcome strange males. They will kill them, run them off, or enslave them. So for that much mating to be going on, it seems that war, rape and pillaging, may have been a predominating factor.

The spoils of war, or the remnants of war. It is almost Biblical.

Just a thought.

Top exec at Bill and Hillary Clinton airport in Arkansas shot as federal agents serve search warrant

https://www.foxnews.com/us/top-exec-bill...ch-warrant

Quote:MMalinowski

1 day ago

Bryan is my brother. He does collect guns, but never uses them. I want to know what “immanent and active danger” was justified in charging into his home at 6am. He worked every day at the airport. Why didn’t they just arrest him there? Or arrest him as he drove to work. My brother owns multiple properties and his salary was $250K + a year with many many perks. He has zero incentive to do anything illegal. I will dig into this and expose whoever attacked my family. Right now, my brother is on life support and is missing the majority of his brain.

Quote:The executive director of an Arkansas airport bearing the names of former President Bill Clinton and former first lady and U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was shot Tuesday, when federal agents attempted to serve a search warrant.


Arkansas State Police said the shooting occurred at 6 a.m. local time at a home on Durance Court in Little Rock, while the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) was serving a search warrant at the home of airport Executive Director Bryan Malinowski.

Malinowski, 53, was shot and treated at the scene before being taken to a local hospital. His condition was not specified.

An ATF agent was also injured in the shootout with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound, and transported to a local hospital. The ATF and the Little Rock Police Department asked state police to investigate the incident.

Authorities have not said what led to the shooting or who opened fire first. The case will be presented to prosecutors, who will determine whether deadly force was used consistent within state law.
Fox News Digital has reached out to the ATF, state police and Little Rock police.
An airport spokesperson confirmed to Fox News Digital that Malinowski was the airport's executive director.

Quote:Matthew Malinowski questioned why agents came to his brother’s home so early in the morning and did not approach him at the airport, claiming instead that the agents “broke down his door” leaving his brother no choice but to “defend himself.”

“There’s something fishy here. The ATF went after him in the worst possible way,” he told NBC News reporter Deon Hampton. “There’s no reason why they couldn’t have arrested him at work at the airport.”
The older Malinowski added that he thought his brother was well-liked at his work and had been successful with improving the status of LIT, saying he, “was turning around Little Rock airport.”
Malinowski also said it seemed odd that his brother could be entangled with the law, noting that he made more than $250,000 a year in salary, lived in a nice suburb with collections of guns and coins and was well connected in the Natural State.
“When someone makes that much money, there’s no incentive to do anything wrong,” the brother said, adding that Bryan Malinowski had just been in Washington D.C. meeting with Arkansas senators about business for the airport. “He has so much to lose.”



As far as Bryan Malinowski’s prognosis, his brother said doctors are keeping him on life support and not performing surgery because they don’t think he would survive.

“We don’t know how much longer he has to live,” Matthew Malinowski, who flew into Little Rock from Pennsylvania Tuesday night, said.
With the family still wondering how this all happened and federal investigators still not releasing the details of the search warrant, Matthew Malinowski feels the case against his brother doesn’t add up.
“Something stinks to high hell.”

Goats!



https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/other/g...r-BB1kfeaf

https://www.yahoo.com/news/goat-tests-po...13145.html

Quote:A goat kid in Stevens County, Minnesota, has tested positive for highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI), marking the first case in the United States of bird flu in a domestic ruminant.



The Minnesota Board of Animal Health announced Wednesday the juvenile goat residing on a farm with HPAI-positive poultry also tested positive for the same virus. This is the first U.S. detection in cattle, sheep, goat or their relatives.





"This finding is significant because, while the spring migration is definitely a higher risk transmission period for poultry, it highlights the possibility of the virus infecting other animals on farms with multiple species," State Veterinarian Dr. Brian Hoefs said. "Thankfully, research to-date has shown mammals appear to be dead-end hosts, which means they’re unlikely to spread HPAI further."





The Board of Animal Health says all the poultry on the farm were already quarantined after HPAI was detected in February. Following the confirmation of HPAI in the goat, the Board of Animal Health quarantined all other animals at the farm.




The Board of Animal Health is working with the U.S. Department of Agriculture to investigate the virus' transmission.


Health officials note the risk to the public is "extremely low" and any risk of infection is limited to those who have direct contact with infected animals. No humans in the U.S. have gotten sick after having contact with mammals infected with bird flu, the Board of Animal Health says.



The Minnesota Department of Health has recommendations for personal protective equipment and is monitoring the health of those who have had direct contact with the infected goats.


Anyone who develops respiratory or gastrointestinal symptoms after exposure to the goats may be voluntarily tested for avian influenza and other respiratory pathogens, the release said.

Quote:Is Russia prepared for the most anticipated public health crisis in WHO-history?

Yes, according to Russia’s Federal Service for Surveillance on Consumer Rights Protection and Human Wellbeing (Rospotrebnadzor).

In a March 9 press release (archived version here for those who can’t access Russian government websites due to Internet Sanctions), the agency announced that Russia’s “preparedness for new viruses” was at “a high level”. Let’s deconstruct this wall of public health word salad together:

Quote:Russian specialists are developing new vaccines and testing systems. Rospotrebnadzor employees work with representatives of other countries to quickly identify emerging threats and respond to them in a timely manner.

The opening line of the press release is “don’t worry, we’re creating new genetic slurries and not-fit-for-purpose tests”, followed by an artfully crafted sentence that translates to: “Yes, we are still working very closely with the WHO”. Nice.

Quote:Every year, “Disease X” is discussed by the scientific community at well-known forums, congresses and conferences. Thus, on the sidelines of the second session of the National People’s Congress of China, experts discussed the risks of the global spread of a new potentially unknown disease — “Disease X”.

Did you know that the head of China’s CDC recently said that “accelerating global climate change” and “expanding human activities” are increasing the likelihood of a Disease X Global Murder-Plague? Here is an article from TASS:

BRICS will fix this (source: tass.ru)

If Disease X is exclusively a Western Davos Pfizer scam, why is China warning that this hypothetical pox will ravage the globe unless we reverse “climate change” and put an end to “expanding human activities”? Curious minds want to know.

Returning to the press release: Rospotrebnadzor is basically saying, “Look, we’ve been discussing Disease X with our esteemed international colleagues for a long time. Everything is under control. As we already mentioned, new injections and nose-swabs are in development. We got this.”

Quote:This topic [Disease X] regularly appears in the information space and is beneficial to large pharmaceutical companies, including due to the memory of the coronavirus pandemic.

On the one hand, Rospotrebnadzor is upset that Big Pharma is hyping the hypothetical terrors of Disease X, even though Beijing has reassured everyone that a pandemic can be avoided if we tax carbon. On the other hand, Rospotrebnadzor’s antidote against this terrifying and extremely hypothetical disease is the same as Western Big Pharma’s cure-all (not-fit-for-purpose PCR tests and dangerous genetic slurries). Confused? Don’t be. It’s 2024, my friend.

It’s nice that Rospotrebnadzor doesn’t like pharmaceutical companies creating needless panic among the masses, but naturally one has to ask how this opinion affects policy. It certainly didn’t stop the Russian government from collaborating with AstraZeneca on “Covid vaccines”, and it definitely didn’t stop Russia’s Health Ministry from handing out Remdesivir like candy.

source: tass.ru

If the Russian government is serious about putting an end to Imaginary Pandemic Panic, I would recommend starting with Russian state media, which publishes frightening Disease X stories that read as if they were copy-pasted from the WEF’s website:

source: tass.ru

Here’s the final two paragraphs of the TASS think piece cited above:

What countermeasures [against Disease X] have already been implemented?

WHO and partners have established a fund to combat the pandemic. Some countries have already taken advantage of this initiative to improve their domestic epidemiological situation. In addition, work is underway to improve systems tools that can help prevent an international health crisis. Thus, in Africa, a technology transfer center for creating vaccines was organized so that local manufacturers could create medicine for the population on their own. WHO has also created a system for the rapid and effective exchange of existing biological materials that could cause a new pandemic or epidemic. The necessary data can be quickly shared with all countries to develop medical countermeasures and reduce mortality.

According to Ghebreyesus, the most important thing is the international exchange of experience within the framework of the agreement to combat the pandemic. Thanks to this, the experience of each country will be available to the world community to more effectively overcome the crisis.

Vaxxing Africa: check. Sharing “biological materials” with Russia’s trusted Western partners: check. Shilling for the WHO’s Pandemic Preparedness Treaty: check. Everything checks out.

Back to the Rospotrebnadzor press release:

Quote:Today in Russia, readiness for new infectious challenges is at a high level. The “Sanitary Shield” anti-infection system is in operation, a network of PCR centers is being developed, and fast, high-tech domestic test systems have been developed. At checkpoints across the state border there is sanitary and quarantine control, as well as AIS “Perimeter”.

There you have it. A “network of PCR centers” is being created so that Russia can immediately resume mass-swabbing when the next Virus arrives.

This blog has already covered the Sanitary Shield program in great detail, but here’s the one-sentence recap: Russia is creating an Iron Curtain of PCR test centers and genetic vaccine dispensaries that will be used to ensure Biosecurity.

You can read more about this program here and here.

Meanwhile, the “Perimeter” system ensures that every traveler will be viewed as a potential biohazard. Rospotrebnadzor’s website explains:

Quote:AIS “Perimeter” assesses the risks of importing infectious diseases on each flight, as well as provide methodological assistance in the event of epidemiological threats. Registration forms filled out in the Perimeter AIS allow for monitoring and analysis of the sanitary and epidemiological situation at checkpoints across the state border of the Russian Federation.

Are you excited for checkpoints where your Health is registered and monitored?

Back to the press release, which ends with:

Quote:The term “Disease X” has been around for many years. The definition implies an abstract disease caused by an unknown pathogen, and the timing of its appearance is unknown.

Rospotrebnadzor is a bit peeved by all the sensationalism. Russia has the PCR tests. Russia has the vaccines. And the term Disease X has been around for years. Just relax.

Quote:THAT TAURUS GERMAN CRUISE MISSILE STORY…

March 20, 2024 / Joseph P. Farrell

If you've been following that Taurus German cruise missile story, then brace yourself, because it's taken yet another very strange turn... strange, that is, only if you're not following my hypothesis that there has been in existence, since the end of World War Two, a non-territorial-non-state actor that I've called at various times "the Nazi International" or "the Fascist International," composed of post-war Nazis and Fascists that penetrated key postwar defense corporations and other infrastructure in the postwar western world, bent on owning and ruling the world. Think of der Hochklaus Freiherr von Blohschwabb und Bloviation here:




And lest you think I'm exaggerating, just remember that Der Hochklaus' father was a Wehrmacht general, and that der Hochklaus himself had connections to the German firm of Degussa, a firm connected to the wartime Nazi, and postwar West German-SouthAfrican "nuclear cooperation." If that does not succeed in rattling your nerves just a bit, then maybe reminding you that the first postwar chancellor of West Germany, Konrad Adenauer, viewed nuclear weapons as "just another form of artillery," and we know how much some Germans love their artillery:



Just in case you're not current with the German Taurus cruise missile story - because I've not blogged about it before now - in the past couple of weeks a recording of two German Luftwaffe generals surfaced, in which said generals were plotting to send some German Taurus cruise missiles to the Ukraine, which missiles in turn were to be used to knock down the Russian bridge over the Kerch strait, connecting the Crimean peninsula to mainland Russia to the east. The bridge is the main - and only - overland supply route to the Crimean peninsula, and thus a key and crucial infrastructure component allowing Russia to resupply the province without having to transport supplies by sea or air.   If you don't know what the Taurus cruise missile is, it is a joint German-Swedish "ground-hugging" cruise missile, designed to hug the ground and fitted with a conventional "bunker-busting" warhead, with a range of about 250-270 miles. It is air-launched, and, I strongly suspect even though it is not acknowledged, that the missile is probably capable of carrying a variable yield nuclear warhead. Any such supply would doubtless have to have German military and technical advisors on hand to be able to allow what's left of the Ukrainian military to operate the system.

The story gained such traction that Bundeskanzler Scholz recently had to go on German television in order to quell the (understandable) outcry from Germans that sending cruise missiles to the Ukraine, particularly one like the Taurus, was a fools' errand, especially since the target of such a venture, Russia, also had such weapons. Scholz managed to quiet the storm a bit with what amounted to a very firm "Ausgeschlossen!" to the idea.

But now the whole story has busted loose again, and it's a whopper doozie for the questions it is prompting according to this story shared by L.G.L.R. (with our thanks):


NEW EVIDENCE THE GERMAN TAURUS ATTACK PLAN WAS LEAKED BY THE US AIR FORCE

Now, here's the story from that article in a nutshell (though I urge the reader to read the whole thing):

Quote:A little bird has materialized to sing that the record of the German generals discussing their plan to attack Russian targets with the Taurus missile was intercepted and leaked to the Russians by the Americans.

A big bird, actually. The telephone conference of German Luftwaffe chief General Ingo Gerhartz (lead image, left), one of his staff generals,  and two Luftwaffe lieutenant-colonels on February 19 was listened to by US signals intelligence after the first meeting the Germans had with a new regional US Air Force (USAF) commander, General Kevin Schneider;  Schneider took command of the USAF Pacific Air Forces (PACAF) on February 9 after two and a half years in a senior staff post at the Pentagon under General Charles Brown Jr. Brown was promoted from USAF chief to Chairman of the Joint Chiefs on October 1, 2023.  When Schneider left Brown’s staff, he took a promotion from lieutenant general to four-star general.

Schneider has never flown or staffed USAF operations against Russia. He was in Singapore for the bi-annual Singapore Air Show to demonstrate what the USAF press office called “the opportunity to sharpen ties with Singapore, demonstrate flexible aircraft capability, enable engagement with foreign partners, and expand power projection.”  His agenda of meetings with other country airforce officers is classified.

Intelligence coverage of the airshow proceedings by the US, Russia, and China was especially intense because of the participation in the show of aircraft from the warfighting states.  Russia, which has participated actively in past Singapore airshows, did not participate officially this time.

The allegation that the Gerhartz teleconference was intercepted by the Russians originated from the Germans and British, and has been amplified in US and NATO media. The first Russian report that it was US intelligence which picked up the call and then leaked it, appeared in Moscow on March 4; click to read.

So in other words, it was American intelligence that alerted the Russians that there was a plot by some German generals to launch cruise missiles against the Kerch Straits bridges. "But wait a minute," you might be thinking. "Why would German generals be talking with American generals about a cruise missile strike before talking with their own government about it first?" If you're asking yourself that question, then you can join the club, because so are a lot of Germans, who are wondering just who the German military really reports to.

In respect to that last point, Pepe Escobar is wondering the same thing according to this article also shared by L.G.L.R.:


The German-American Strategic Depth Clown Show

In case you missed it, here's what Mr. Escobar actually has the guts to notice and mention:

Quote:A key point is that during the plotting, these two mention that plans were already discussed “four months ago” with “Schneider”, the successor of “Wilsbach”.


Well, these are German names, of course. Thus it did not dawn on anyone that (Kevin) Schneider and (Kenneth) Wilsbach could instead be… Americans.

Yet that did raise the eyebrows of German investigative journalist Dirk Pohlmann – who I had the pleasure to meet in Berlin years ago – and his fellow researcher Tobias Augenbraun.

They found out that the German-sounding names did identify Americans. Not only that: none less than the former and the current Commanders of the U.S. Pacific Air Forces.

The Four (actually Six) Stooges element gets an extra boost when it is established that Liver Sausage Chancellor Scholz and his Totalenkrieg Minister Pistorius learned about the Taurus plan no less than four months later.

So here apparently we have a clear cut case of top German military officers taking direct orders regarding an attack on Crimea – part of the Russian Federation – directly from American officers in the Pacific Air Forces.

That in itself opens the dossier to a large spectrum ranging from national treason (against Germany) to casus belli (from the point of view of Russia).  (Italicized emphasis added)

Now, beyond the insanity of the Empire of Chaos not only using the Ukraine in its insane proxy war against Russia, and now trying to involve Germany in the effort, I have a high octane speculation to run past you:

What if we're looking at yet another feature or faction within what I've been calling "the Nazi International?" What if the presence of "German-sounding names" on both the American and German sides of this strange story is not accidental? We're all familiar with the strange role and influence of (thankfully) now-departed Victoria Nuland in the U.S. State Department over the whole sad Ukrainian saga.  We know too of Mad Madam Merkel's admission that the whole episode of the Minsk accords was simply to give the Ukraine time to prepare its military. Now, in spite of the US signals intelligence leak to Russia of the Taurus story, we have German generals appearing to answer directly to the American chain of command, which - let us be honest - appears to be answering to no one in the publicly known chain of command. Bai Den Dzhao? a non-entity whom even his own Department of Justice refuses to prosecute for egregious breeches of law because of his well-known incompetence and probable inability in his demented state to be able to stand trial. Whatever orders the American generals are passing along to their German counterparts would thus appear not to originate within that chain of command. Was Lloyd Austin in the hospital that day? Who's really in charge? For some Germans, the whole episode is bound to resurrect the theory of the Kanzlerakte, the "secret protocol" that supposedly postwar German chancellors are alleged to swear to take orders from Washington, because Germany, so the theory goes, is no longer legally sovereign.

In short, throughout this whole increasingly bizarre story might we be looking at yet more footprints of that postwar Nazi International? Footprints we were never intended to discover?

I do not know, but again, I am reminded like I was in last Monday's blog of the words of Russian economist Sergei Glazyev after the Maidan coup in the Ukraine: "Our problem isn't the Nazis in Kiev; it's the Nazis in Washington." As I've pointed out many times before when citing these words, Glazyev was not joking when he wrote those words nor was he resorting to a bit of rhetorical hyperbole and exaggeration. He was absolutely serious.

Would our Fascist-inclinced billionaire busybody class really be that insane? Yes they would. After all, Baal Gates wants to spray the atmosphere to dim the sun because of "climate change."

So, yes, maybe it's time for us to take Mr. Glazyev's words seriously.

SPECTRE exists. The Nazi International exists. The World Economic Forum exists. They really do want to reduce the world population to a mere fraction of its current population. They really do want to dim the sun. They really are capable of such insanity as starting a nuclear war.

I just walked into the house and heard my Mother speaking to my brother. I have five brothers and I knew immediately which brother it was.

Everyone swears they can't tell the difference between my Mom ad her five daughters. Everyone says that all us girls sound the same, and that all the boys sound the same.

That is odd to me because I think we all have very distinctly different voices, and we all are very easily recognizable, even when they are trying to disguise their voices, which they do all the time. It never works.

Anyway, today it just made me think about how easily we can recognize the voices of those we know. So I looked it up and found this article.

Quote:We Can Identify A Friend's Voice After Hearing Just Two Words
Humans are smarter than machines when it comes to voice recognition.

Quote:In a new study, which was presented at the International Congress of Phonetic Sciences in Glasgow in August, linguists from the University of Montreal in Quebec found that more than 99 percent of the time, two words are enough for a person of normal hearing to distinguish the voice of a close friend or relative among other voices.
