Дорога до отеля Plumeria Maldives занимает около 1 часа 10 минут на скоростном катере, который отходит от аэропорта.
Отель располагается на местном острове, который называется Thinadhoo (атолл Vaavu). На местном острове помимо отеля Plumeria Maldives находится несколько небольших гостевых домов, а также дома, где проживает местное население. Так как на острове проживает местное население, алкоголь там запрещен и приобрести его невозможно. Также запрещено нахождение в купальниках на общественных пляжах острова, каким является пляж рядом с отелем Plumeria. Но на острове есть отдельная зона бикини – пляжа, где нахождение в купальниках разрешено.
Добраться до этого пляжа можно всего за 10 минут по живописной тропе, которую окружает пышная растительность. Остров имеет замечательный домашний риф, где гости могут насладиться красотой подводного миром.
Отель Plumeria на данный момент имеет 2 здания, в которых имеется 2 категории номеров: deluxe и super deluxe. Отличие категорий лишь в том, что номер super deluxe имеет балкон. Одно из зданий (sea view) имеет вид на океан. Также в ближайшие месяцы планируется открытие новой категории номера garden room. Это будут отдельно стоящие домики.
В конце июля – начале августа планируется открытие собственного СПА при отеле. Кроме того, у отеля есть свой дайвинг центр (где на данный момент есть также русскоговорящий инструктор), центр водных видов спорта, тренажерный зал. В отеле есть крытый бассейн. Стоит также отметить очень приветливый и услужливый персонал отеля.
Нельзя не отметить большое разнообразие экскурсий по очень приятным ценам (рыбака, пикник на отдельном песчаном острове, снорклинг с акулами и т.д). Поблизости находится множество хороших дайвинг спотов, где можно оценить все разнообразие подводного мира Мальдив.
Отдых в данном отеле можем порекомендовать гостям, предпочитающим бюджетный, но в то же время насыщенный отдых.
The way to Plumeria Maldives takes about 1 hour and 10 minutes by speed boat, which departs from the airport.
The hotel is located on a local island called Thinadhoo (Vaavu Atoll). In the local island, in addition to the Plumeria Maldives, there are several small guest houses, as well as local houses. Since the island has a local population, alcohol there is prohibited and it is impossible to get it there. It is also forbidden to be in a bathing suit on the public beaches of the island, which is the beach next to the hotel Plumeria as well. But on the island there is a separate bikini zone – the beach, where the bathing suit is allowed. You can reach this beach in just 10 minutes along the picturesque trail surrounded by lush vegetation. The island has a wonderful house reef where guests can enjoy the beauty of the underwater world.
Hotel Plumeria currently has 2 buildings, in which there are 2 categories of rooms: deluxe and super deluxe. The only difference between the categories is that the super deluxe room has a balcony. One of the buildings (sea view) has a view to the ocean. Also in the coming months, it is planning to open a new category of room – garden room. It will be detached houses.
In late July – early August, it is planning to open its own SPA of the hotel. In addition, the hotel has its own diving center (where at the moment there is also a Russian-speaking instructor), a water sports center and gym. Hotel also has an indoor pool. It is also worth noting the very friendly and helpful staff of the hotel.
It should be noted a wide variety of excursions at very pleasant prices (a fisherman, a picnic on a separate sandy island, snorkeling with sharks, etc.). Nearby there are many good diving spots where you can enjoy the diversity of the underwater world of the Maldives.
We can recommend this hotel to the guests who prefer a budget, but at the same time, a diversified holiday.


USA Today reported Thursday the seven top-performing S&P 500 stocks for the month of August -- NetApp (NTAP) , Micron Technology (MU) , Urban Outfitters (URBN) , Endo International (ENDP) , Symantec (SYMC) , Chesapeake Energy (CHK) and Williams Companies (WMB) . Filters like this are interesting, but they only give you a hindsight look at the markets. Hint: You make money by being forward looking.
Going through this short list for the best-looking charts now and heading into the back end of the year, I culled the list down to just two names: Micron Technologies and Williams Companies.
In this daily chart of MU, above, we can see a nice saucer bottom pattern from January through May. Prices, volume, the On-Balance-Volume (OBV) line, and the 50-day moving average line all turned up in May and June. Notice the pickup in volume at the end of June, as prices made new highs and closed above the 200-day moving average line.
A bullish golden cross of the 50-day and 200-day averages appears at the end of July. Our price-momentum indicator in the lower panel is not signaling any worrisome bearish divergences. Shallow dips in MU could be bought, risking a close below $13.
In this twelve-month daily bar chart of WMB, above, we can see a "textbook" uptrend from a February low. The slope of the 50-day is positive, and it has been tested several times. Prices had rallied enough to clear the 200-day average line at the beginning of August. Confirming the uptrend is the rising OBV line, which tells us that buyers of WMB have been more aggressive since February. Momentum has slowed a little from July to August, and this might foreshadow some price softness for WMB. With nearby chart support around $25 and the rising, 50-day average just below that level, a pullback in WMB is likely to be relatively shallow -- and presents a buying opportunity. A deeper decline to $22 would warrant a reappraisal of my bullish hypothesis.
What about the rest of the list? NetApp, Urban Outfitters, and Symantec are all extended on the upside and vulnerable to a deeper setback from here. Endo International looks like it is stuck in a base pattern and Chesapeake Energy lacks buying enthusiasm.

Nice Carnival – Fun for the whole family
Every year from mid February to early March the largest pre-lent carnival in France takes place in Nice. Originally a pagan festival celebrating the death of winter and the birth of spring and life, the word 'carnival' comes from the Latin carnem levare which means 'to put away the flesh (as food)' and occurs before the period of Lent, during Shrovetide (Mardi Gras or 'Fat Tuesday'). This is the last party before a period of abstinence, which therefore justifies all excesses!
Each year the participants devote thousands of hours to creating the floats and costumes exhibited during the various parades, each inspired by a theme announced during the prior spring. This international event encompasses three weeks of music, comedy, and parades; not to mention confetti street battles, masked balls, and fireworks. The end of the carnival is signified by a tradition going back over 100 years: the burning in effigy of the King of the Carnival.
By the late 1800s, during the Belle Époque era, the Nice Carnival was the most famous in the world, and served as the model for the renowned carnivals in New Orleans, Quebec and Viareggio. What started out as a simple celebration by the working classes was eventually adopted by the nobility and bourgeoisie during the 18th century. Elaborate masquerade balls were held, as well as gala parades with the aristocracy aboard carriages or marching in splendid costumes.
During some of the parades the throwing of various projectiles was established and became a pivotal part of the festival – flowers, candy, and cigars for the elite; beans, flour, eggs and chickpeas for the everyday folk. These 'projectiles' were replaced by the more 'health and safety' option of paper confetti in 1892. Several royals (the Prince of Wales, the Emperor of Brazil, King Charles of France, Charles Felix the King of Sardinia) participated in the Bataille de Fleurs or 'Battle of the Flowers'. Today, this 'battle' includes some thirty floats in full bloom with beautiful models sumptuously dressed in costumes of feathers, sequins and beads tossing flowers into the crowd. The decoration of the costumes and floats is all done by hand, using thousands of flower petals (carnations, roses, gladioli, gerberas, mimosas, dahlias, lilies, etc.) each glued or stitched on during the night before and into the early hours preceding each battle.
French property expert, Aideen O'Brien (Managing Director of leading Cote d'Azur real estate agency Chez Riviera) notes, "the Nice Carnival has become a major draw card for tourists from all over the world. The city of Nice is extremely proactive in promoting its city to ensure there are events to attract people, not just in summer, but throughout the entire year. This is great news if you have, or intendto purchase an apartment to rent out to the lucrative holiday rental market, as your season is not limited from just May to September as in some locations, but extends to the entire year – increasing your yield significantly".
Statistics for Nice Carnival 2013 are yet to be released, but in 2012 there were some impressive numbers achieved; like almost 200,000 tickets sold, 20 tons of confetti tossed, and 100,000 flowers thrown during the Battles of the Flowers (of which 85% are produced locally). The theme for the 130th edition of the Nice Carnival in 2014 has been unveiled as the 'King of Gastronomy', now that sounds like something delicious to participate in!

What Business Security Problems Does IGA Address?
Identity governance and administration can help your organization effectively address today's complex business challenges, balancing four critical objectives:
Reduce operational costs
Reduce risk and strengthen security
Improve compliance and audit performance
Deliver fast, efficient access to the business
Identity governance and administration automates labor-intensive processes such as access certifications, access requests, password management and provisioning, which dramatically cut operational costs. With its business-friendly user interface, this can significantly reduce the time IT staff spends on administrative tasks, and empower users to independently request access, manage passwords and review access. And with access to dashboards and analytical tools, organizations have the information and metrics they need to strengthen internal controls and reduce risk.
Compromised identities caused by weak, stolen or default user credentials are a growing threat to organizations. Centralized visibility creates a single authoritative view of "who has access to what," allowing authorized users to promptly detect inappropriate access, policy violations or weak controls that put organizations at risk. Identity governance solutions enable business and IT users to identify risky employee populations, policy violations and inappropriate access privileges and to remediate these risk factors.
Identity governance and administrations allow organizations to verify that the right controls are in place to meet the security and privacy requirements of regulations like SOX, HIPAA and GDPR. They provide consistent business processes for managing passwords as well as reviewing, requesting and approving access, all underpinned by a common policy, role and risk model. With role-based access control, companies significantly reduce the cost of compliance, while managing risk and establishing repeatable practices for a more consistent, auditable and easier-to-manage access certification efforts.
Deliver Fast, Efficient Access to the Business.
By giving your users timely access to the resources they need to do their jobs, identity governance and administrations enables them to become productive more quickly – and to stay productive, no matter how much or how quickly their roles and responsibilities change. It also empowers business users to request access and manage passwords, reducing the workload on help desk and IT operations teams. And with automated policy enforcement, identity governance allows you to meet service level requirements without compromising security or compliance.
WITC Identity Governance and Administration Solutions
In March, we were recognized as the 2020 Gartner Peer Insights Customers' choice for Identity Governance & Administration (IGA). This distinction recognizes the vendors who are top-rated by their customers, based on a series of customer-submitted reviews.
When it comes to identity governance, no company is better suited to help you solve your unique security and compliance challenges. Learn how we can help you protect your sensitive data, wherever it lives.
Frequency Asked Questions (FAQ)
What's Cloud Identity Governance?
Cloud-based identity governance offers the same security, compliance and automation delivered by traditional enterprise-class identity solutions, coupled with a lower total cost of ownership and faster deployment. Put simply, identity provides the power to make the cloud enterprise secure.
Cloud is transforming the way we work. Organizations must effectively address today's complex business challenges, and today's enterprise is becoming a cloud enterprise. While companies are becoming more comfortable with moving strategic and mission-critical applications into the cloud, it can feel overwhelming to consider solutions like identity as a service (SaaS). They often avoid identity governance because they believe they lack the budget, time or skilled identity resources required to implement it. However, these are no longer inhibitors to reaping the benefits of identity management.
For WITC, we remain entirely focused on identity governance whether on-premises or from the cloud. IdentityNow, our SaaS solution, is as powerful an identity governance solution as IdentityIQ, our solution deployed in the data center.
Isn't identity governance software only available on-premises?
While it's true that the first identity governance solutions on the market were installed on-premises, today there are cloud-based options for identity governance as well. In fact, WITC IdentityNow provides access certifications, access request, provisioning, and password management as cloud-based services.
Can identity governance manage cloud applications?
Identity governance solutions provide rich connectivity options that enable unified management across cloud and on-premises resources. All identity governance capabilities, including access certification, access request, password management, and provisioning, are cross-domain, meaning they can be used for cloud and on-premises applications.
Does my company need identity governance, even though we aren't subject to regulatory compliance?
Identity governance is a critical component of any security strategy. If a company does not have identity software in place, it puts them at serious risk of cyberattacks. Because hackers attempt to steal user credentials constantly, protecting identities is vital to keeping cyber thieves out of company systems. No matter what, you need identity governance to protect user accounts and privileges—and ensure effective access control.
Is IGA only for big businesses?
While it may seem regulation compliance is a challenge only for large, international companies, the truth is that regulations (e.g., GDPR or CCPA) affect every enterprise organization, whatever their size or industry. No matter what, organizations need to strengthen access controls to their sensitive data and applications.
Does identity governance support HIPAA and compliance?
Identity governance helps ensure HIPAA compliance by:
Applying artificial intelligence and predictive analytics to monitor and identify unusual access behavior
Consistently enforcing access policies and applying controls to all applications containing ePHI
Locating and securing structured and unstructured ePHI regardless of where they're stored
Automating periodic reviews of user access rights
Our open cloud identity governance platform makes it easy for you to stay HIPAA-compliant, giving you visibility and access control for apps and data, for every user.
What's the history of Identity Governance?
Identity governance originally emerged as a new category of identity management. It was driven by the requirements of new regulatory mandates such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). Designed to improve transparency and manageability, identity governance gave organizations better visibility to identities and access privileges and better controls to detect and prevent inappropriate access.
In 2012, identity governance was recognized by Gartner as the fastest-growing sector of the identity management market. In its first Magic Quadrant focused on this market segment, Gartner stated that identity governance "is replacing user administration and provisioning as the new center of gravity for IAM." Gartner also estimated that growth rates for identity governance would exceed 35-40% per year, based on increased incidences of well-publicized insider theft and fraud.
As more and more customers deployed identity governance and provisioning solutions together, it became clear that the role, policy, and risk models provided by identity governance were foundational to provisioning and to compliance processes. At the same time, it became clear organizations needed centralized visibility over both on-premises and cloud applications, and data files across the organization.

Bonus for Northern Ireland radiographers and students
Students could receive up to £2,000 for work in pandemic
Published: 19 February 2021 Northern Ireland
Radiographers could receive a £500 bonus from the Department of Health in Northern Ireland, and students up to £2,000, in recognition of their work in the pandemic.
Everyone on the Business Service Organisation payroll – including doctors and Agenda for Change staff - is potentially eligible, and staff in primary care and the independent sector will also be included.
The automatic payment will apply to radiography students on clinical placement between 1 October 2020 and 31 March 2021.
All staff and students will need to meet qualifying criteria. The Department of Health has released FAQs on the special payments.
The gesture has been welcomed particularly for the recognition of students who took on 'supernumerary clinical placements that have contributed to the delivery of health and social care during the unique and unprecedented challenges presented by the pandemic'.
SoR National Officer for Northern Ireland Leandre Archer said: 'This is a positive announcement from the health minister to aid our radiography students.
'Students have had to deal with the effects of Covid-19 on their academic studies with the vast amount of teaching having gone virtual and on clinical placements where they have been faced with having to wear PPE and deal with Covid-19 on the frontline.
'I would hope that this recognition payment goes some way to helping them continue and complete their courses and becoming the workforce that will be so important in the future to ensure sustainability of radiography services.'
Nichola Jamison, SCoR Interim Student Support, said: 'A welcome gesture in Northern Ireland, and a positive step towards recognising the efforts of our student workforce in challenging times.
'Students across all four nations have contributed above and beyond expectations during the pandemic, and it would be encouraging to see similar initiatives across the rest of the UK in due course. A very happy outcome for Northern Ireland students!'

James and Rachael's engagement shoot took place on a sunny mid-winters day. Last January they were married at Brackenridge, on another beautifully sunny day in the Wairarapa. Following the ceremony their guests relaxed at the country venue while the bridal party whisked off to a special secret location for a picnic and bridal party portraits. Here is a little summary of their day.


This is it. In my case, this is made to size for 52mm lenses mostly found on Nikon SLRs. I have a 2.5/105mm Nikkor Ai lens coming with a badly dented front end, bought it just because I didn't own a 105mm Ai yet and it was cheap.
How does this tool work? Dead simple!
Just place it inside the filter rim, grip it firmly and start twisting the bolt end (with a screwdriver in my case). The two halves will be pushed apart as the bolt advances through the nut, that is embedded on the inside of the left half. This will push the filter rim back out, until the pressure on both halves is about equal. Until that happens, pressure is directed towards the metal filter rim parts that protrude the most, i.e. are most bent inwards.
Here is a picture of the two halves being pushed further apart as the bolt advances.
Now, why did I use a circle dril that was wider than then the filter size? Very logical actually, since I prefer to sand some wood off the outsides of the circle to make it fit. I sand until the fit is too lose (need space to clear the bent metal before applying the tool) and the tool can easily move about.
On the inside of the one half that has the hole through the side, widen the exit so that a nut can be hammered into it. Apply force gently or the wood will snap.
Remember where you read it first! Welcome to share this with your Facebook friends too!

Sarah Sanders: Congress isn't 'smart enough' to look at Trump's taxes
White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said Sunday that she doesn't think congressional Democrats are "smart enough" to review President Donald Trump's tax returns should they succeed in obtaining the documents.
"This is a dangerous, dangerous road and frankly, Chris, I don't think Congress, particularly not this group of congressmen and women, are smart enough to look through the thousands of pages that I would assume that President Trump's taxes will be," Sanders told "Fox News Sunday" host Chris Wallace.
"My guess is most of them don't do their own taxes, and I certainly don't trust them to look through the decades of success that the President has and determine anything," she said, adding that attempts to obtain the returns are "a disgusting overreach."
Earlier this month, House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Richard Neal formally requested Trump's tax returns from the Internal Revenue Service, citing IRS code 6103, a 1920s-era tax statute that was little known until recently. The law states that three people: the House Ways and Means chairman, the head of the Joint Committee on Taxation and the Chairman of Senate Finance can ask for anyone's personal tax information for their committee's use. He made a second request on Saturday.
While Neal has argued that the committee needs Trump's tax information in order to conduct oversight of the Presidential audit program, a program that is not enshrined in law, but instead has become a routine procedure at the IRS that when a new President comes into office, Sanders is arguing that the committee's use of the statute "has nothing to do with whether or not they're going to determine policy."
"This is all about political partisanship," she told Wallace.
Neal's office did not immediately respond to CNN's request for comment on Sanders' Sunday statements.
In the letter sent Saturday by Neal to IRS Commissioner Charles Rettig, the chairman writes that he believes his committee is well within its rights to see the President's tax returns and that he expects a decision from the IRS by 5 p.m. on April 23.
CNN's Lauren Fox and Donna Borak contributed to this report.

Carl Tanzler & His Corpse Bride
The story that I am sharing today is about a man in Florida who became so obsessed with a woman that even her death could not stop his love. It's really creepy and fucked up so buckle up buttercup. Let's begin!
Georg Karl Tanzler was born February 8, 1877 in Dresden, Germany. He had two sisters and claimed that he was raised in an elegant castle. Oookay. Sure.
He had an average childhood but in high school he had zero interest in girls and wanted to spend every minute he could on building glider planes.
He claimed to have earned 9 advanced degrees but upon further investigation there was no record of him ever attending University in Germany or anywhere. Neither did he have any paperwork to back up these spectacular credentials. I know you couldn't just Google someone back then but claiming to have so much education and no proof is pretty ballsy. He obviously relied very heavily on the fact that people are lazy - for the most part - and wouldn't want to dig into his background.
Along with all of these "advanced degrees" he asserted that he owned a coconut plantation near the equator. When people would ask him where this island and plantation were, he would cryptically say, " near where Amelia Earhart went down." Who the fuck says that as a point of reference? I know we have supposedly found her multiple times but I don't know if it's ever been 100% proven. If it has then please correct me! But back then - no one knew. This guy was just lying from day one.
During World War I Karl served in the German army as a member of the submarine division. He was taken to Australia as a prisoner of war in 1914. But this is where his stories differs from the facts - which is super weird to lie about. He claimed that before WWI he had moved to Australia, became a citizen, and lived there for 15 years. Quite different from the official record.
During his youth and young adulthood, he started to have visions or paranormal/psychic events happen to him. He stated that his ancestor, who had died in 1765, (and was a countess by the way) came to him and allowed him to glimpse his future wife. He later said that "she was so beautiful that I couldn't attempt to describe her beauty." But during his time in Australia, these visions went a step further. The spirit or essence of his future bride came to him and stayed by his side for seven days and nights. She followed him during the day as he worked and watched over him at night while he slept. Can you imagine working beside him while he was having this "episode"? Talking and responding to nothing, just babbling. That would be bizarre. When his bride vanished after seven days, Karl became distraught and promised that he would find her one day. He vowed he would see her again but in real life next time.
Upon his return to Germany after the war he discovered that his father had died and the home that his mother had lived in before the war was destroyed. Wasn't Dresden bombed during WWI? I guess there went their fancy-pants castle. Karl had this to say about the destruction of his "castle", "I lost my library, all my documents. My collection of diamonds, emeralds, and opals." Geez, sounds like he put all of his eggs in one basket. And anyway, that's another weird thing to boast about. Does anyone really keep piles of precious stones in their castle? One of his sisters had also married and moved to the United States.
In 1920, Karl, at age 43, married Doris Anna Schaffer and they had two daughters. Now, Doris was not his dream girl that had visited him when he was younger. He just figured that he was getting older and might as well get married and reproduce while he was waiting for his bride-to-be. He was NOT a family man though and he ran off to the United States on February 6, 1926. He arrived at Zephyrhills, Florida (FL) to join his sister and begin a new life. But he did not foresee his wife and children following him there a year later. What a bummer that must have been, huh?
It was in America that he changed the spelling of his name from Karl to Carl, to Americanize it. But then he insisted on going by the title COUNT so that kinda defeats the whole "wanting to blend in with regular Americans" thing. O, and he was a DOCTOR! So he was Count Dr. Carl Von Corsel. That's a mouthful ain't it?
Not too long after his family arrived he abandoned them again and moved to Key West, FL where he was hired at the local Navy Marine Hospital. He did still send money to his family but he didn't want the actually "family" responsibility to weigh him down. What a charmer.
Unfortunately, when he was hired the hospital couldn't verify his credentials (because they were bullshit) so they just hired him initially as an attendant and he eventually worked his way up to a radiology technician. Would any actual doctor settle for that? No, they would throw a temper tantrum like a toddler. That's how you know that his education was F-A-K-E! He worked hard and long enough that he learned how to operate equipment and even take blood samples. You can't say he wasn't dedicated to his work.
While working at the Navy Hospital he bought a wrecked airplane and took it to the hospital grounds to begin restoring it. He wanted to "build it [up] from scratch". This airplane was quite the monster; it had huge wheels that stood over 5 ft tall and 1.5 ft thick. He claimed that they were for landing on water. No, Carl. You're thinking of a seaplane. Just because the wheels are big does not mean it will float. And why the hospital let him just put it out on the ground - I have no fucking idea.
Allow me describe Carl for a brief minute; he wore a bushy beard, walked with a cane and had an apparent swagger. He thought he was cool shit.
Carl Tanzler - He does look kinda coo-coo for coco-puffs.
Carl had an air about him that sent the message that he was better than everyone around him.
While he was working at the hospital he met Elena. The girl who had haunted him in Australia, his bride-to-be, and more beautiful than words could describe. Sadly, there was a hitch in their future - Elena had TB. Not only did she have TB but she had the worst case possible which was often called "Galloping TB" or "Hasty Consumption." She had been taken to the hospital by her mother for testing when her health began to fail after a miscarriage and abandonment from her husband.
That's another hitch in the plans - she's already married, Carl!.
She was beautiful, wasn't she.
Elena's family were poor Cuban-Americans. Her father worked in a cigar factory (that's very stereotypically Cuban) and her mother was a housewife. Elena was said to be universally beautiful with a marvelous singing voice. But she had the unfortunate luck of the draw of looking exactly like the vision that had visited Carl so many years ago. He said, "I looked into a face of unearthly beauty. The face of the bride that had been promised to me by my ancestor." Okay, calm your tits there romeo. There's a few problems here you're ignoring.
Upon meeting Elena, Carl stopped sending his family money and focused all of his attention on his new bride-to-be. He began to make grand promises about being able to cure her. He didn't charge the family for the x-rays or radiation treatments that he administered to Elena in the home she shared with her parents. Here's a crazy tidbit - he was giving her radiation to "build up her strength." Yep, you read that correctly. TO BUILD HER UP! He also brought her plenty of fruit and medicinal wine that he got from a priest. I'm speechless.
Elena, who was of course very sick, had frequent appointments at the hospital where she would always see Carl. He recalled her visits as someone who might be reminiscing about an enjoyable date. He would take her out to his plane and they would sit in the small cockpit, side-by-side. He even named the plane, "La Contessa de Corsel" after Elena as a wedding present for the day when she would become a Countess.
Her parents were skeptical of Carl's treatments and began secretly seeking help from other, actual, doctors. They didn't like how Carl talked to them or treated them. He would often barge into their home and demand that they stop smoking around Elena because it was bad for her health. I guess he was right about some things. They took this as an insult to their Cuban culture. How crazy is it that they were going behind his back to find other professional help? They had to do it secretively or he would lose his shit.
Despite Elena basically having a death sentence hanging over her head, Carl persisted and began showering her with gifts; clothing, furniture, jewelry, a big radio, a silk kimono and so much more. He told her constantly that he would cure her and they could then fly off to his coconut island plantation and live happily-ever-after. He was in la-la land. Elena was not on board with his romantic advancements but remained polite. She was getting free medical care in exchange for a weirdo trying to woo her so she bit the bullet and dealt with it. Carl proposed multiple times but Elena always had an excuse: she was already married, she was too young for him, if she ever remarried her mother would insist on it being another Cuban, but in the end she was just being affable.
As Elena's illness gradually overtook her she stopped showing up for her hospital appointments. This brought Carl into a tailspin and he tried to bring a large transformer into her home so he could administer electro-shock therapy but her parents had had enough and were barring him from seeing her. He couldn't sleep at night, knowing she was suffering and starting having nightmares.
After one year of Elena being sick and continually getting worse and worse, her doctors were now just prescribing pain medication to keep her comfortable.
Enter Carl - claiming that he is the only one who can cure her! He forced his way into their home and announced loudly that he would be living there so he could care for Elena full time. Her parents relented because they were out of options and Carl was promising a treatment. I can only imagine that at that point you would do anything to help your child. Carl started to use some of his inventions on her. They were all some form of electricity. He just shocked her anyway he could possibly imagine. Even with a Tesla coil type device that he stuck down her throat, nearly to her tonsils, and would electrocute her.
Despite all of his efforts, Elena was growing weaker. She came to terms with her death and was ready for the time when she would breathe her last. Before her death she told Carl to "take care of her body after she died because she couldn't leave him anything else." Carl took this to the next extreme and considered this to be their marriage vows.
Then, on Sunday October 25, 1931 Elena died.
Carl took it upon himself to pay for the funeral. He selected her casket, which was extravagantly lined with rose colored silk, and he made all other arrangements. Afterwards, he visited her grave every night but as time passed he began to worry about water around her casket and the possibility that Elena was getting wet. Like it mattered? I don't think she was going to catch a cold. Carl made the decision that Elena needed a mausoleum that would keep her up above the ground and nice and dry. He discussed it with her family and they agreed. He paid for the expense of it and even designed her mausoleum.
After her death and burial, Carl made another grand announcement. He would be moving in with Elena's parents and into her bedroom. They agreed (why, I have no earthly idea) and told him to pay $5 a month. He said that her pillow "still preserved the sweet smell of her hair." Creep factor 100!
In order for Carl to remove Elena he would need the family's explicit permission. So he requested permission from them as well as the state. Elena had been dead for 6-months at this point. His request was granted. Now it gets a little weirder, again. He convinced the undertaker to allow him to re-bed the casket. Meaning he brought in new sheets, pillows, and clothing. He spent hours peeling rotting clothing off of her body and spraying her with perfume. He also covered her in a layer of sterile cotton. He kinda turned her into a Florida mummy. Before placing her in the new mausoleum, which had been inscribed without her married name, (classy Carl, classy. Just forget that whole husband thing ever happened), he had Elena placed in a new special coffin. It had a metal exterior with a custom inner coffin with valves. Into these valves he poured a solution over Elena that created a state similar to preserving specimens in glass jars, which would deter further decomposition.
For 18 months Carl visited Elena every night at the cemetery. He began to hear Elena talking to him through the valve and said that she was singing to him and having conversations with him. Okay, seriously. No one noticed this? He never sent up any red flags about his dead "girlfriend" talking to him? He started to bring her gifts which he would leave littered around her mausoleum.
Obviously, Carl had no friends and spent every moment he could with Elena. He was still working at the hospital but just getting the work done so he could get paid and shower Elena with more presents.
Elena's Mausoleum with her family.
Carl became utterly convinced that Elena was talking with him every night. On Christmas afternoon he came to visit her and take pictures. This is where he claimed he felt her hands on his head and face. A picture he took even showed a "figure" near her mausoleum that he swore was her.
Elena began to sing Spanish love songs to Carl about a lover who opened the grave of his dead fiance. Danger! Danger! Carl began to hear Elena telling him to remove her body so he could better care for it. He objected at first but not for moral reasons. He objected because the cemetery was surrounded by people and someone might see him. She instructed him to wait for the next new moon so it would be near pitch black and to hang a blanket over the fence so the neighbors couldn't see what he was up to. That wouldn't be weird at all. "Hey honey, did this see this blanket over the fence to the cemetery? Ah, probably nothing to worry about." Oddball.
On the big night, Carl wore his wedding suit along with a black felt hat. He brought a small wagon with blankets, pillows, and some rope. Seeing as how he had the only key to her mausoleum, he removed her inner coffin but left the metal exterior one so that anyone looking inside would think she was still in there. He loaded the coffin on his little toy wagon but struggled to lift it over the fence. At one point, it fell on him and a valve opened by accident. He was drenched in fluids that leaked out. Remember the solution he put her in? Imagine the smell. After finally managing to get her coffin over the fence he wheeled her to a nearby house that he had rented just for the occasion. This house had no running water so he bathed himself in whiskey.
Carl returned to his rented room at Elena's parents home, without them noticing, and took a proper bath. Had to get the stink of whiskey and death off of him. He left Elena in the rented house for three days before returning and transferring her remains, via taxi, to his airplane on the hospital grounds. Yep, a taxi. And the driver even helped him load the box that she was in.
By this point she had been dead for two years so she was in a fair state of decomposition despite his best efforts to keep her "alive". Her clothes were coated in a slimy layer of mold, her eyes had sunk into her skull and were rotting, and there were maggots in her hair, ears, and abdomen. He peeled away her clothing, washed her thoroughly, and applied perfume. He then replaced her rotting eyes with glass ones, put splints around her nose to shape it, used wire piece her together (which he could also maneuver like a marionette puppet), made several death masks to cover her face and dressed her in a silk bridal gown. This all sounds like a horror film.
He would lay with her at night, in the coffin, and kiss her "as if we were alive." I'm all for being in love but this is giving me a serious case of the heeby-jeebies. Please tell me you agree? This is NOT romantic.
In 1934, Carl's ten-year-old daughter Christa, died of diphtheria. His estranged wife had gotten in touch, via letter I suppose, but he didn't send any money or attend the funeral. He was too busy being in love with his new bride!
Months went by and eventually the hospital hired a new commander who ordered Carl to remove the plane. Elena's brother-in-law helped Carl tow the plane to a house he rented nearby. He obviously didn't know that Elena was inside the plane when he dragged it through Key West. After this big move, Carl no longer needed the room at Elena's parent's home. But upon his departure he takes her bed with him. Elena's parents don't protest because he was the one who bought it for her in the first place. And they just want this psycho out of their house!

His new home was "unique" to put it nicely. It was waterfront property but it was the remains of what had once been butcher pens for the local meat market. Elena's brother-in-law helped Carl lay a concrete foundation, put up walls, and even construct a lab for his various inventions. Inside the lab, Carl built an incubation tank and filled it with the same solution that he had put in Elena's casket before. He would put her body in there for 24-hours at a time to let the fluids circulate over her. He wanted to bring her back to life.
As time passed, Carl's delusions began to truly spiral out of control. Yes, it's possible.
Carl and Elena spent a nice Christmas together in their new home. He would drink wine with her by taking a large gulp, pressing his lips firmly against hers, and spitting it into her mouth. Just as blissful newly-weds.
After these two "lived" in this home for a couple of years they were driven out by crews that had been sent to the area to clean it up. They were too close for Carl's comfort so he put Elena back in the plane and towed her to a new home. This home was more of a shed than a house but it had room for him and his 13 dogs. He utilized the dogs as guard dogs to keep people away. How did he stop the dogs from eating his jerky wife?
In 1935, the hospital went through some restructuring and Carl lost his job. He looked at the glass as half full because now he could spend more time with his blushing bride. He became a recluse as a after this and only left the house to visit the post office once a month to pick up a check from his time in the German military. This was his only contact with people that were actually alive.
One consequence of the move was that Carl was not able to bring Elena's incubation tank with him so he moved her permanently to his bed. He said, "I slept by he side to be close to her and to protect her from insects." So yes, bugs became a problem. Who'd imagine? While he was beside her he could fix any leaks that sprung up with silk and plaster. Her also gave her body another layer of wax to further protect her from insects. Throughout all of this Carl was still insistent that Elena was singing to him and having conversations. He believed that he was close to bringing her back. But he was concerned about her weight. Without the incubation tank she began to dry out and mummify. She went from 90 lbs to 40 lbs. As she mummified, her featured began to change but this didn't bother Carl. He thought she was still resplendent.
By 1940, Elena's only surviving family member was her sister Nana. The rest of her family had succumb to TB and Nana was ill with it as well. It was around this time that she began to hear about the rumors that Elena was not in her mausoleum. How did that rumor get started exactly? If Carl didn't have any other human contact besides Elena and the post office then who would have suspected this obscene crime?
She demanded he come to the cemetery and unlock the mausoleum (he was the only one with a key, remember?) so she could see for herself that Elena was still inside. Carl refused. Nana was insistent and tried again a few days later. Carl again refused. As a show of good faith Carl invited Nana to him home. She was about to get the shock of her life.
He invited her into his home, pulled back a curtain that blocked off the sleeping area and revealed Elena's body. He was excited to show Nana how beautiful Nana looked with her silk dress and jewelry. Carl told Nana that Elena was safe with him there and she had nothing to worry about.
That didn't fly for the appalled Nana and she told Carl that if he returned Elena to her mausoleum that she wouldn't tell anyone. Especially the police. Carl dismissed this request. He obviously had no idea that what he was doing was wrong and didn't fear the police.
Later that day, police came and arrested Carl who was now 70-years-old and charged him with being in possession of a dead body and maliciously demolishing and disfiguring a grave. Elena's body was taken to the funeral home, for the third time now, and put on display for the public to come witness. 5000 people ogled her and the story became a worldwide sensation. As the press grabbed hold of the story they didn't portray Carl as a lunatic but as a romantic. Most people were non-judgmental of his actions and felt sympathy for him.
The most powerful and prolific attorney in Florida offered to represent Carl pro Bono. People came in throngs to visit him in jail and when the jail became to packed the guards allowed Carl to stand on the lawn in front of the building to visit. His "fans" collected money for him and he took it so as not to seem "rude" or "ungrateful."
During the trial, Nana testified to the seeing her sister for the first time that day in Carl's home. She described her as a "monster. What I saw will haunt me for the rest of my life." As she gave her testimony, she posed the question of the state of Elena's body. She wanted to know if Carl had sex with her mummified sister. Carl had this to say, "No, your honor I did not." Then he proceeded to mumble, "she was mummified." So, her vaginal area was mummified so she couldn't do the deed. But keep this in mind for a minute.
As Carl presented his testimony he explained the visions he had of his ancestor and of the time his bride's spirit had visited him for seven days and how he searched the world for her. Many women in the courtroom wept for Carl. How is this dipshit being romanticized to this level?!
After the trial the judge granted Nana's request that no one know the exact location of her sister's body. This infuriated Carl and he protested. He protested to intensely that the judge ordered him to undergo psychiatric evaluation. He was deemed sane. Of course. The trial would have been a smashing success for Nana but Carl was released. The state decided not to prosecute because the 2-year statute for disturbing a grave had expired. He had removed Elena from her grave 7-year prior. Nana was furious but at least she would have some solace about her sister's reburial. Elena's body was dismembered and placed in an 18-inch cube/box and buried. No one ever revealed her whereabouts and even the grave diggers kept their lips sealed.
After all of Carl's publicity he became a household name. He charged twenty-five cents to view his lab, bought a pipe organ, and started getting letters and visitors from around the world. He appreciated the support but he didn't like the attention and eventually moved back to Zephyrhills to live with his sister. His wife and remaining daughter still lived there as well. He left Key West behind for good. Before he left he delivered a small farewell present to Elena's empty mausoleum - a bomb. He built a bomb with delayed detonation and left for his new home. The bomb went off 24-hours later at 1:40 am. Police could never tie him to the crime because he was far away by the time it went off.
Once back in Zephyrhills he took to writing a book about his life and painting watercolors scenes to tell the world about his love. While he was at his sister's house he decided he didn't like being cooped up inside so he moved into his plane, which was parked on the yard. Still crazy there, Carl. He liked being in the plane because it made him feel close to Elena. He missed her terribly. During World War II, seeing as how he was a German immigrant, he was put under surveillance by the FBI. They made him take the wheels off of his plane so they knew for sure it couldn't fly anywhere. They obviously didn't know the full story about that plane.
In 1944, Carl moved into his own house and built a shrine to Elena. He placed her casket on a long table and put a model of Elena's body inside with a death mask over the face. People would still visit him and see the model. The neighbors thought was a character and didn't seem to have any issues with him.
In 1945, he sold his corpse bride story to Fantastic Adventures but immediately blew all of the money and was destitute again. His estranged wife, Doris, gave him $2.50 out of her weekly check. This was enough to buy a few staples to keep him from starving. For the most part, Carl kept to himself.
All was quiet until 1952, when his neighbors reported to police that they hasn't seen him in a few weeks. Yes, weeks. The sheriff found his dead and decomposing body next to his shrine of Elena. He was 76-years-old. After his own funeral, his plane was taken to a yard for children in the neighborhood to play on. That would be the creepiest, most disturbing playground ever. Do you think those kids ever looked back and realized what they played on? The death plane. The mummy plane. Imagine the rumors they could have come up with about it. They could have started their own urban legend!
But wait, there's more.
In 1972, the doctor who performed the autopsy on Elena spoke out about the case. He started in the obviously place, "the breasts really felt real" - ahh, thanks for that doc. Went straight for the boobies did ya? He also examined the vaginal area and discovered a tube had been inserted into it that was wide enough to permit sexual intercourse. There was cotton at the bottom that was covered in semen. Another doctor confirmed these findings.
So, he DID have sex with her!
I hope you enjoyed this disturbing little tale as much as I did. It's sinister, upsetting, and down-right troublesome. I don't really know why I'm drawn to such dark and eerie subjects but they intrigue the hell out of me and really get my brain ticking. I know one thing for sure - truth is definitely stranger than fiction. If you liked it and want to know when I publish more stories then sign up for mailing list and I'll hit you up next time.

The Brighton Trunk Murders
MurderJessica Wright September 13, 2018 Brighton, England


It's been a tough month. About a month ago, a friend of mine lost their son unexpectedly. Though we rarely talk due to being far away, it is a dear friend whom I've known nearly my entire life and our families are still very close. His son was just 24 years old. Clearly taken from us far too soon.
Then last week, another friend lost their daughter unexpectedly. She was just 33 years old. Married with two young children.
Finally, this past weekend, there was the senseless tragedy here in Pittsburgh. My wife and I kept waiting for the names of those lost to be released to see if it was anyone we knew. Turns out we were just a degree of separation from three of those departed. My heart goes out to those lost and to the entire Jewish community. A horrific event to say the least.
Given the ups and downs of emotions that have run over these past few weeks, I feel compelled to write a few thoughts on dealing with loss. And since I work with a lot of retirees, I've had the unfortunate privilege of helping widows after the passing of their spouse and best friend. In no way can I relate to the loss of a child or spouse as I've never been there before. But I've been an active participant in the waves of emotion that immediately follow such a terrible event and hope that this helps someone somewhere.
Death is a part of life, but we never expect it to come like a thief in the night regardless of age.
Unfortunately, life doesn't come with a manual that teaches us how to deal with the grief that comes after losing someone we love. There is only our time with them and our time without them once they're gone.
There is no way to dull the pain.
There are no words that will make the emptiness go away.
There is nothing that can be done to take our minds off the person that we've lost.
They say that time heals all wounds. I'm not sure that I agree. Time will never let us forget or heal. We just learn how to live with our open wounds. Occasionally, the wounds will get ripped open over and over again.
The pain never truly subsides; it just gets temporarily buried. It's an unfillable void. And no matter how many times we ask the question, "Why?", the answer never comes. We just have to take it day by day, one foot in front of the other picking up the pieces of our heart.
We let our minds return time and time again to all the pleasant memories that we've made together. Any shortcomings they may have had are long forgotten.
Before we experience real loss, we tend to live each day almost as if we expect to live forever unabashedly wasting moments that could become precious memories. We waste time doing things that don't really matter. Watching television, social media or whatever.
Perhaps the (only) good that comes from losing someone we love is that it encourages us to hold those still with us a little closer. Hug a little harder. Laugh a little longer. Be a little more present.
Approaching it as a way to honor their life. Remembering their life by evaluating our own. Rarely do we truly consider the time we've wasted. Time we could spend with people that we love and care for deeply. Time that could be spent investing our own life in others.
Living our life in the past kicking ourselves for what could have been does a disservice to the lesson there is to be learned. That is, learning to live our lives in the present. Knowing and understanding that life is short can be the best catalyst to cause us to take action in our lives today.
Witnessing the outpouring of love around the two families I mentioned above as well as throughout the Pittsburgh community has been nothing short of remarkable. Tons of amazing stories about their lives and how these people were dearly loved, respected and adored.
When somebody goes out of their way to tell you how much they love you, respect you or adore you, how does it make you feel? It probably makes your day; I know it does mine.
And yet, how often do we tell our friends and family how much we love and care for them? How often do we tell them specifically what we admire about them?
Go tell them. Don't wait. Tell people how you feel while you still have the chance. People actually want to know that you love them, that you admire them, that you love specific things about them. It never gets old hearing those things. So tell them.
Take a second and think about how you're living your life right now. If you found out you only had six months to live, but would live those six months in perfect health, what changes would you make to your life? Really, truly think about this for a few minutes.
What if it were one year? Or ten years? The further out we go, the less likely we are to make any changes at all. Yet, ironically, the longer we have, the more impact we can have. It's also ironic that thinking about our death can cause us to change how we think about life.
Are you spending it with the ones you love? Are you being present in the lives of your family and friends or letting those opportunities pass you by? Are you investing your life in other people? Are you spending time doing things with a purpose? Being involved with a cause that is near and dear to your heart? As we've learned time and time again, life is short.
Let this be your reminder to hug those you love a little more and a little harder. Your reminder to put the phone down and pay more attention. Your reminder to occasionally ignore your schedule and embrace precious moments as they're happening. Soak it up. One day we'll turn around and we'll be ten years older. What will you have to show for it?
I know a few people who never seem to take a moment for granted, but those people appear to be few and far between. Those people are infectious and I admire them dearly. I am not one of those people naturally, but this month has truly made me re-think how I am living my own life and I hope that you will take the time to examine how you are living yours.

Lori Harvey appears to have confirmed the rumors surrounding her relationship with Future . On Saturday, January 11, the model, 26, took to her Instagram Stories to share footage from her birthday celebration in Jamaica, which included a snap of the "Big Rings" rapper, 36, giving her a kiss on the cheek.
In the short clip, Lori was seen pulling Future's head to close to hers after which he kissed the model on her cheek. Lori smiled afterward and puckered her lips. "Life is Good," Lori captioned the video of the two getting cozy in what appears to be the back of a vehicle while in Jamaica.
The caption is coincidentally also the name of Future's new single with rapper Drake. The "Fine China" rapper also uploaded the same clip onto his Instagram Stories.
The kiss came just hours after Future had thrown Lori a surprise birthday party which included sending a private jet for her and rose petals on a bed. The sweet gesture, however, received a lot of criticism after fans noticed that the "Jumpman" rapper used the same surprise for his other ex-girlfriends including Joie Chavis and Brittni Mealy.
The confirmation also comes after Lori's stepdad, Steve Harvey shut down questions regarding Lori and Future's relationship in a video that surfaced on Instagram. On Thursday, January 9, while walking down Rodeo Drive in Los Angeles alongside Kris Jenner's boyfriend, Corey Gamble, Steve, 62, was approached by a reporter and asked "How do you feel about your daughter dating Future?" The host replied, with a straight face, "I don't know nothing about it."
Lori and the "Monster" rapper were first romantically linked in December 2018. After some time apart, the two appeared to have rekindled their romance in November 2019.
One month later, the two seemingly confirmed that they had spent the weekend together in Lagos, Nigeria, where Future was scheduled to perform.
In addition to their several getaways, the pair also spent the New Year together in Las Vegas. A fan shared a video of the couple after spotting them at the same party. "Lori shining right now," the fan captioned the clip.

Hemmingway heartens at 25th annual dinner (Whipple)
01/01/2021 Filed in: Conservative Caucus of DE newsletter
A coronavirus pandemic notwithstanding, the Caucus scheduled its annual dinner (no. 25) at the usual time (a Sunday afternoon) in October. The event took place in the Harry Savoy ballroom, with all health-related requirements (e.g., crowd dispersion and mask-wearing) observed. What fun to get out for an in-person social event for a change, and no ill effects were reported afterwards.
Our guest speaker was Mollie Hemingway, a senior editor at the Federalist and Fox News contributor. She was the latest in a series of distinguished speakers that had included the late Justice Antonin Scalia (2013), UK leader Nigel Farage (2017), and investigative reporter James O'Keefe (2019).
Ms. Hemingway began by reprising a book (Justice on Trial) that she co-authored with Carrie Severino (chief counsel and director of the Judicial Crisis Network) on the confirmation of Judge Brett Kavanaugh as a Supreme Court justice. Kavanaugh was nominated on July 9, 2018 and confirmed by the Senate on October 6, 2018.
After a thorough review of his record and exhaustive Senate committee hearing, Judge Kavanaugh was ambushed by previously undisclosed sexual assault claims dating back to his high school and college years. None of the accusers provided a clear statement of the particulars (when, where, who else was there, etc.), yet Kavanaugh was seemingly expected to disprove their claims versus the other way around.
Shades of how the confirmation of Justice Clarence Thomas had nearly been derailed by Anita Hill's sexual assault claims in 1991, an experience that had caused the normally reserved Thomas to characterize the ensuing proceedings as "a high tech lynching for uppity blacks."
Hemingway was eager to get an account of what had happened on the record while the details were still fresh in everyone's minds. She and Severino worked tirelessly on this project, between them interviewing over 100 people (including President Trump) who had been involved with the Kavanaugh confirmation process in either a professional or personal capacity.
Justice on Trial was the first major book on the subject; it was published on July 9, 2019, one year after Kavanaugh's nomination. The speaker referenced turning points in the battle, which may show that things tend to work out OK in public debates even if the rhetoric gets heated at times.
1. The GOP senators involved in the hearing (all men) wisely lined up Rachel Mitchell (a sex crime prosecutor) to question the first (and most credible) of the complaining witnesses, Christine Blasey Ford, rather than attempting to handle this matter themselves. Mitchell's approach of drawing the witness out and getting her committed to a specific version of events proved quite effective, whereas an aggressive cross-examination (a likely tack for Sen. Lindsey Graham and others) might have fueled sympathy for the "victim."
2. Kudos to Sen. Susan Collins (not a member of the Judiciary Committee) for refusing to support the nomination based simply on party loyalty. Collins takes her Senate responsibilities very seriously, and she even arranged for an independent review of Kavanaugh's extensive record of judicial decisions. At the same time, she fended off numerous liberal constituents who were attempting to pressure her into voting "no."
3. Then there was Leland Keyser, a high school friend that Ford had apparently envisioned as a corroborating witness. Keyser was a registered Democrat and not disposed to support Kavanaugh's nomination. Contacted by a reporter, she initially said she believed Ford but then backed off. Bottom line, even though Keyser didn't want to be painted as having refuted Ford, she didn't recall ever meeting Kavanaugh, let alone being present when the alleged events took place, and wasn't going to say otherwise.
An obvious question after publication of Justice on Trial was how the next Supreme Court vacancy would be filled. Exactly this situation had arisen by the time of Hemingway's talk, with Senate review in process for the nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett (staunch conservative) to succeed the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg (uber liberal).
However the Barrett confirmation turned out, Hemingway predicted, Democrats would seek to avenge the appointment of three conservative Supreme Court justices in a row by "packing the court" at their earliest opportunity.
At this point Mark Hemingway (also a conservative journalist) joined his wife at the lectern. A free flowing Q & A session ensued, including the following:
Q. Was the Department of Justice going to prosecute anyone on the left, or were they only interested in going after conservatives? The word was that the Durham report and/or any related indictments wouldn't come out before the election. Don't expect accountability for the phony Russian collusion investigation, FISA warrant abuses, etc. unless President Trump is reelected.
Q. Why did Sen. Mazie Hirono ask Amy Barrett about sexual harassment? There was no basis whatsoever for this line of inquiry. Probably Hirono hadn't done her homework in preparing for the hearing, but in any case Amy kept her cool and answered the rote questions.
Q. What kind of follow-up has there been on the Hunter Biden laptop, which was left in a Delaware computer repair shop? The FBI held the laptop for nearly a year, apparently doing nothing with it. FBI Director Christopher Wray is operating in a defensive crouch and just wants to protect the FBI. Rudy's team should have notified the White House.
Q. Are Biden family corruption charges being covered objectively? No. Thus, the mainstream press readily accepted Joe Biden's denial of a $3.5 million wire transfer to Hunter Biden from the widow of a former mayor of Moscow. No one asked whether the transfer had taken place (as stated in a recent Senate report) or what it was for.
Q. What gives with Nancy Pelosi? She has gotten used to operating in a media bubble and seems to be losing touch with what's happening. Notice that her most touted achievement of late, impeaching the president, wasn't so much as mentioned at the Democrat convention.
Q. What do you think about Donald Trump? He's a nice, enjoyable and hilarious person, who grows on you. Only Nixon could go to China, it's been said, and only Trump can challenge the conventional wisdom as he has done in so many ways.
Q. Conservative Delawareans have been stifled for decades. How can we change this? Don't settle for being on the defensive, learn to push back. The other side won't pay attention unless they feel some pressure.

Do not ignore these sounds. Bring your car to our reputable automotive repair shop for a full inspection of your braking system.
Vibrations or pulsating felt in the brake pedal or steering wheel are also signs of a problem. When this occurs, it generally means that the rotors have become worn or warped and need to be replaced.

Playtime New York had over 180 labels exhibiting this time round and what a fun and exciting show it was. Arriving from Europe it was really interesting to meet labels from the US, South America and Canada.

A trend we keep seeing, if it carries on maybe it will just become the norm amongst independent brands!

Q: Windows 7 recording only has sound from 1 channel I have a mic that is (naturally) mono. It is connected to my Windows 7 PC via the mic input (3.5mm). The plug is mono (2 segment). When I hear my recording, sound come out from 1 side of the speakers only.
It seems all the recording option (from Windows's Sound Control Panel) is 2-channels. Is there a way to let Windows know that my mic is not stereo? I suppose I can use software to change the recorded audio to 2 channels but I am using this mic for Skype. Or should I use an adapter to convert mono to stereo? I am concerned that doing so will affect audio quality.

As condensation drips from the coils of your air conditioner, it collects in a drip pan. Then, the air conditioner pump pushes the moisture outside or into some kind of drainage system.
Without this, water would quickly fill the drain pan and spill over, seeping into the house. If your condensate line cannot be repaired, you'll need an AC pump to remove the excess water.
If water is not draining properly, it might be a problem with the AC pump. Unfortunately, because the AC is usually located in an out-of-the-way place, such as the attic, homeowners do not always notice an overflowing drain pan.
If you see any mysterious dripping or wet spots, check beneath the AC unit. If your drain pan is overflowing, it might mean your AC pump has stopped working. First, make sure the pump has power and that it is running.
If it is running but not pumping water, the drain tube might be clogged. In this case, the obstruction will need to be removed. However, if the pump stops working, then it might need to be replaced.
Many pumps are designed to shut off if they stop working when full. If this happens, the container might need to be checked and cleaned out. It is possible to accumulate mold and algae in the container, which can then spread into the drain line.
An AC pump is designed to pull water out of the drain pan and push it out of the house. AC units create quite a bit of condensation, which they pull out of the air in order to reduce humidity. This water has to go somewhere. Many homes simply have large drain lines that let gravity take the water outside. However, an AC pump can typically move more water.
If you are having any problems with your AC pump, let us help. Cousin's Air, Inc. can assist you with AC installation, maintenance or repair in South Florida. For help diagnosing a faulty AC pump, Call Us Today!

Shakespeare: Print & Performance online course
Shakespeare400 in the news
Sprung from Shakespeare poetry competition
Royal Collection Trust
The Royal Collection Trust marked Shakespeare400 at Windsor Castle with an exhibition celebrating the playwright's longstanding association with the town of Windsor and the royal court. The exhibition, Shakespeare in the Royal Library demonstrated how generations of monarchs since Elizabeth I had enjoyed Shakespeare's work.
The exhibition drew from the Royal Collection to bring together for the first time, prints, maps, and books acquired by monarchs, and works of art created by members of the royal family.
Among the highlights on display was a copy of Shakespeare's Second Folio, annotated by two monarchs, Charles I and George III. It is thought that Charles I read the folio, published in 1632, while imprisoned at Windsor Castle before his execution in 1649. The King inscribed the words 'Dum Spiro Spero' (While I Breathe, I Hope) on the fly-leaf of the book and wrote the names of some of the characters from Shakespeare's comedies onto the contents page. The book subsequently passed to Sir Thomas Herbert and changed hands a number of times before being acquired for the Royal Library by George III in 1800. George III corrected a note in the book that identifies Sir Thomas Herbert as the King's Master of the Revels, stating that Herbert was in fact the Groom of the Bedchamber to Charles I.
The Royal Library's copy of Shakespeare's First Folio acquired by George IV when Prince of Wales was also displayed. Published seven years after Shakespeare's death by his friends and fellow actors, John Heminges and Henry Condell, it brought his plays together in a single volume for the first time and included a number of previously unpublished works.
Some of Shakespeare's plays were written with performance at the royal court in mind. The comedy 'The Merry Wives of Windsor', which directly links the playwright to the historic town and the Castle, was performed in front of Elizabeth I in around 1600. There are a number of copies of 'The Merry Wives of Windsor' in the Royal Collection, including a second quarto of the play published in 1619, and a colourfully bound edition of the play presented to Queen Mary in 1917, which features an embroidered image of Windsor Castle on the front cover.
Another highlight of the exhibition was a drawing of Romeo and Juliet by Princess Victoria, the future Queen Victoria, when aged around 15. Made in pencil, pen and ink, the drawing, which was on display for the first time, shows a scene from Shakespeare's popular play, with the two lovers embracing as Romeo climbs hastily out of a window. Also displayed for the first time was a watercolour by Princess Alice, Queen Victoria's second daughter. Depicting a scene from Shakespeare's Hamlet, the colourful watercolour was made as a birthday gift to her mother on 24 May 1859.
The exhibition took place at the Drawings Gallery, Windsor Castle from the 13 February – 11 December 2016.
The trust also presented several talks, performances and courses to accompany the exhibition. Below is an overview of the events that took place:

Yung Young is tired of people stealing his sauce.
Fresh to the Elevator pages today is aspiring artist Yung Young, who aside from having a great name appears to also possess a prolific vocal range and command of melodies throughout his buzzing new track, "Lingo". The energetic new offering finds Yung feeling like he needs to tighten up his circle. Namely, that some around him are using his "Lingo" as they continue to bite his style. Yung clearly is on a wave of his own and if he can keep delivering hits like "Lingo" it won't be long before dozens of more artists are biting his style.
You know what they say though, imitation is the highest form of flattery, so perhaps Yung should take it as a compliment. Either way press play on the wavy new record below.


This CRL Tubular Spiral Window Balance for tilt type windows will replace a metal or plastic tube balance with a sash load capacity of up to 25 pounds (11.3 kg). It will also replace same size spiral balances with a white bushing. While this balance is packaged and sold individually, it is our recommendation that both balances in the window be replaced at the same time.
