Samsung is using a new circuit board design for the Galaxy S9 lineup, Korean outlet ETNews reported Friday, citing industry sources. The same report provides a visual component breakdown of one of the company's upcoming Android flagships which can be seen below and is said to depict a printed circuit board meant to be included in the Galaxy S9 series. By relying on a Substrate Like PCB, Samsung should be able to equip its upcoming devices with a larger battery without altering their overall physical footprint or making compromises in another manner. Rumors of the technology being implemented into the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9 Plus originally emerged over the summer but have now been further expanded upon, with insiders claiming that only the international variants of the devices will use the solution.
It's presently unclear whether such a scenario would see the Snapdragon 845-powered models sold in the United States and China feature smaller batteries. That possibility was recently given more credence after an alleged Galaxy S9 unit was certified by Brazil's ANATEL with a 3,000mAh battery whose capacity was identical to the cell found inside the Galaxy S8. Even if Samsung's main reason for moving to a new circuit board design was to allow more space for including a larger battery, insiders have yet to suggest why the company wouldn't be able to do the same with the models meant to feature Qualcomm's chip. The international versions of the two flagships should sport Samsung Foundry-made Exynos 9810 and are expected to account for well over a half of the lineup's global sales.
Battery sizes may not be the only difference between the Snapdragon and Exynos variants of the Galaxy S9 devices as the former's system-of-chip of choice was confirmed to feature a neural processing unit, whereas Samsung has yet to clarify whether its latest silicon does and was reportedly caught off guard this fall when both Apple and Huawei announced commercial devices with dedicated AI processors. The South Korean tech giant already confirmed the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9 Plus will be announced late next month at MWC 2018, with recent rumors suggesting both handsets will start retailing on March 16th following a two-week pre-order period.

Back in the days, hubby and I fell in love with South Africa and bought a Land Rover. We are grateful, since we can rely on the ongoing help of beloved friends and we also have an amazing storage facility in Stellenbosch. Otherwise it would never have been a feasible set up. Ever since that day we drive all over South Africa, Namibia and Botswana.
You cannot drive all the way from Cape Town to Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park in the very north of the country in your own car. It is roughly 1.000 km through some very lonely parts of South Africa. You can't do that without a travel group. It is too dangerous. You can't go camping in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. You have to stay at a lodge. You will need a ranger, who explains everything to you … I step onto the pavement in front of the B&B in Tamboerskloof, Cape Town and smile once more about all these objections made by people I spoke to about our trip. It is very early in the morning; I jump into our Land Rover and hubby starts the car. I love road trips so much and camping in the bush even more so. We are fast on our way to the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park with a size of 38000 square kilometre one of the largest National Parks in the world (that describes both parts of the park: the part in Botswana and the part in South Africa).
It's not as if we would not have prepared for this little trip. Over the years we've read many books, spoke to even more people and made many experiences. We learned a whole lot about travelling and the life in South Africa over the years. How to behave when we encounter a snake, that is something we know from our everyday life in Australia. We cannot remember how many outdoor magazines we have studied in detail. We are determined to survive every trip well. And to be honest, the good thing is the park is pretty easy to reach and even to navigate, and all facilities are kept in an excellent condition.
20 things the Land Rover carries to the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park
- Jerry cans with water (there is fresh water in the NP)
- Fuel cans (there is also a garage and filling station in the NP)
- Tire pump
- Spare tires
- First Aid Kit
- Satellite Navigation
- Guide books on birds and mammals in South Africa
- Tools
- Car jack (familiarize yourself how to use it)
- Food supplies
- Cooking equipment (there is a Restaurant at Twee Rivieren). You can also buy firewood at the camp
- Camping equipment from pillow, sleeping bag to table and chairs or stools
- Clothes like a pair of sturdy shoes, a few T-Shirts, a pair of shorts and long trousers, long sleeved Shirts and a jumper for cooler mornings
- Sunscreen, sunglasses and a hattoSlip–Slop–Slap like the Australians say
- Mosquito repellent
- Biodegradable toiletries
- Binoculars (don't forget them under no circumstances … ever)
- Camera, lenses, cleaner, beanbag, spare batteries, memory cards
- Travel journal
- Sense of adventure, big chunk of curiosity and humour.
Wild animals and cooking over a campfire
We drive from Twee Rivieren to Nossob to Mata Mata and back to Twee Rivieren and use each camp as our base for several days. Within only a few days in the park either riding waves of red dunes or roads of creamy white sand, we see lots of lions, turtles, owls, weavers, cheetahs, gnus, antelopes, ostriches, jackals, meerkats, springboks, scorpions, kori bustards, impalas, ground squirrels, gemsboks, eland, dung beetles and to our large excitement an African wild cat. The impressions made are somehow difficult to process for a city slicker like me. When we get back from our late afternoon drives, we watch the most glorious sunsets, where the sky turns light blue, lilac and pinkish-orange. Later at night when we sit around the campfire above us is the unpolluted and wide sky full of thousands of stars. One traveller tells me that the first campfire was built 1.5 million years ago. Guess where it was … nowhere other than in South Africa. The only background music to be heard is the African bush. Everything seems unreal. I still cannot believe that I am here.
Tips. You cannot just arrive in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park and expect to be let in. To avoid being sent away, please book your stay in advance. You have to check in at Twee Rivieren, regardless of whether you are staying at that camp or not. A trip through Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park is not dangerous at all, but also not to be confused with a walk in your local park.

Save money on heating oil
UHAB Fuel leverages HDFC buying power to get discounted prices on heating oil.
UHAB has partnered with Marathon Energy Corp to negotiate discounted fuel prices for HDFC member buildings. Even if you already use Marathon, you can pay less through UHAB Fuel. With rising prices, don't wait to switch!
Signing up for UHAB Fuel is easy; application, approval, and the first delivery can happen within a week. Buildings can decide to sign up for automatic delivery, and there is an optional service contract that includes emergency boiler service and annual inspections. Best of all, there is no charge to switch! Make sure you complete the process by the 15th if you want to start saving by the 1st of the upcoming month.
If you would like to sign up please contact David at avina[at]uhab.org or 212-479-3374.
How much cheaper is UHAB fuel?
This graph shows the difference: UHAB fuel is significantly less expensive than market-rate heating oil prices.
This graph compares NYSERDA's average home heating oil prices with our oil prices in 2019. You can see our fuel prices day by day here.
Ambassador has merged with Marathon:
Ambassador Fuel & Oil Burner Corp hs merged with Marathon Energy Corp and now offers more services! Click here to see their latest brochure. UHAB Fuel still offers the following services to new customers:
- Performance of an efficiency test on your building's boilers.
- Instruction of super/owner on how to operate the boiler and how to perform weekly maintenance.
- A check of settings on your building's heat timer.
- Answers to any of your building's heat distribution questions.
Have you heard of Biodiesel?
Heating oil in New York City is now a renewable resource derived from plant and food products. Today's heating oil contains 6% biodiesel (B6) and the fuel oil is now the cleanest it has ever been with a low sulfur content of 15 parts per million. Residential customers may claim an income tax credit for each gallon of heating oil used. Please refer to NYS Dept. of Taxation and Finance for more info and consult your tax advisor.
Marathon Energy already offers B6 and B20 to our customers. Your heating system or tank does not need to be retrofitted to accept biodiesel as heating oil has been comprised of 2% biodiesel since July 2010. Presently B20 is available and priced comparatively with B6. B6 is a viable option and these standards make New York City a "national leader" in biofuel use for home heating.
Oil Assistance Program
While The Citizens Energy / CITGO Oil Assistance Program is unfortunately no longer running, for the past eight years it provided qualifying HDFCs with oil grants of up to 50 gallons per unit. This beneficial program encouraged HDFCs to prepare for rising energy costs by requiring that they spend part of their oil savings on energy efficiency improvements in the buildings.

From the first time I contacted Ceremony Music right through to their performance on the day they were an absolute dream to work with. Karla was a huge help with song suggestions and offers to learn pretty much anything we'd have liked! Dave and Karla were our only live music on the day and everyone commented afterwards about how excellent their performances were, both during the ceremony itself and also during the drinks reception where they set a really lovely atmosphere. I couldn't recommend them more – very talented musicians and really nice people to work with.We really enjoyed the day and were so happy with the music. My grandfather is 95 and he adored the music during the drinks reception in particular, he's still talking about it!
Christine & Ross, 2017
I just wanted to let you and Dave know we were blown away by the music, the ceremony went perfectly for us and we had so many of our guests coming up to us complimenting ye both, especially for the music during our pre-dinner bit – thanks again for that, it was perfect.
Ciara, Bride 2016
Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts for learning our song for us to walk down the aisle to, it meant the world.

The wedding music and the afters music were wonderful, everyone was saying it to us, so thanks again for everything, and all the help leading up to the day. Hope you are putting you feet up this week… (We are!) Cheers!

During the first day of the 2013 San Diego Comic Con, I got to meet up with Masashi Togami of Team BTTF and we had a nice conversation about many things including some of his upcoming projects on LEGO CUUSOO. Masashi currently has four projects on CUUSOO at the moment including:
Before I met Masashi, I was roaming around the exhibit hall at SDCC and I got an email from him telling me that he's been hard at work planning and putting together some new sets that he will be unveiling on LEGO CUUSOO in the upcoming months. From August to November, the team will be publishing more Back to the Future based sets to hopefully one day have them made into future LEGO sets as well. Below are the tentative set names as well as a preliminary picture of the new sets.
- August 2013: "Doc's Big Truck with radiation suits on Marty and Doc"
- September 2013: "Marty's Toyota Pick Uup"
- October 2013: "Locomotive 131"

Controversial plans to flatten a 60-year-old pub in favour of student accommodation looks set to be approved by councillors.
The Golden Cross Pub, based in Lincoln's city centre, has been a firm favourite for Lincoln City fans since it opened in 1959.
But plans to build 47 student flats could see the old pub become a thing of the past under plans submitted to City of Lincoln Council.
Lomas Architecture Design and Developments Ltd said that there is a need for more housing in the city as the University of Lincoln continues to grow.
City of Lincoln 's planning committee has been recommended to approve the work when it meets on April 24.
If approved, the proposals would see three-storey student accommodation built in place of the 65-year-old pub.
The developer has said in its plan that the structure would be of a modern design and would not impact the character of the area.
It said: "It is clear that the proposal would address the outstanding need for student accommodation within the city, without causing harm to either the conservation area or wider townscape.
"On the contrary, it has been demonstrated that the proposed building would be more sympathetic to established character of the wider area."
The developers has recognised that The Golden Cross pub holds 'cultural significance' but added that the loss would not be a detriment to the area.
Plans for the student accommodation have been met by objections from both local residents and Lincoln Civic Trust .
The trust recognised the need for more housing, but added that the building would be 'unsuitable' for the area.
It said: "Whilst it is unfortunate to lose another public house on High Street, we do understand the economics of the situation and understand the reasons behind the application.
"However, the proposed structure is not in keeping with the local environment in that its massing and height are far too prominent and would disturb the street scene."

The content of our curriculum is founded on the principle that knowledge comes first.
The content of our curriculum reflects the belief that every student has an entitlement to a body of knowledge that is both valuable and empowering. There should be no 'alternative' core of knowledge for less able, or disadvantaged, students. It is our belief that curriculum content needs to be relevant to the lives and needs of individual students and that it must be valued by all members of our school community.
Research shows that knowledge, more so than skills, can be transferable between different areas of the curriculum. It is, therefore, vital that teachers in every subject establish a robust knowledge base which will allow students to develop the core skills that they require to be successful. This is only possible when teachers strive continually to enhance their own subject knowledge so that they are experts within the classroom.
We believe that the delivery of knowledge and concepts should be sequential and chronological, allowing students to regularly revisit and consolidate their learning. This can be viewed as a 'spiral curriculum', where students engage with the same topics or concepts throughout their school lives and each encounter increases in complexity whilst reinforcing previous learning. Regular 'low stakes' testing enables students to secure the knowledge that they acquire and this approach has been shown to support the transference of knowledge from working to long-term memory.
Curriculum design should, however, be considerate of the amount of knowledge that a student can 'hold' at any given time. Our planning takes account of this 'cognitive load' whilst aiming to develop resilience within our students. We understand that the most effective method of developing learning is by delivering curriculum content that anticipates common misconceptions so that we can address these in our teaching. In addition to this it should provide opportunities for students to be creative and gain moral, social and cultural experiences to enhance their learning and to build character.
There is clear evidence to show that a curriculum that is based on the acquisition of knowledge, vocabulary and facts will engage students in their learning, and that this is the best way to secure academic success for every learner.
In summary, our whole school approach to curriculum is teach knowledge and key vocabulary first to allow the development of concepts and skills. Use a spiral curriculum with increasing complexity which revisits topics or concepts every year. Consolidate learning by transferring knowledge to long term memory through regular low stakes testing.

House Judiciary Committee Republicans on Wednesday copied and pasted The Post's censored cover story on Hunter Biden's alleged hard drive and encouraged people to share the link on Twitter.
Twitter blocked users from sharing The Post's own link to the story, which describes an alleged 2015 email from Ukrainian energy company Burisma executive Vadym Pozharskyi thanking Hunter Biden for "giving an opportunity to meet your father."
"Twitter has blocked users from tweeting the link to the @nypost's story on Hunter Biden. So we put it on our website for you to read and share. Click, share, and RT!" the @JudiciaryGOP account tweeted.
About 5,000 users retweeted the link within 30 minutes.
Twitter did not immediately censor the link, which directs users to a .gov webpage on an official US government site.
Biden, who led the Obama administration Ukraine policy, said last year, "I have never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings," including his reported $83,000 monthly pay on Burisma's board.
Twitter said Wednesday it prevented users from tweeting or direct-messaging a link to the article because it violated a ban on distributing hacked material.
The alleged Hunter Biden hard drive was given to The Post by former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, a personal attorney to President Trump, after he received it from a Delaware computer repairman.
The repairman says he legally accessed the content under an abandonment contract clause when Hunter Biden did not collect a damaged laptop within 90 days.
Facebook, meanwhile, said it was taking unspecified steps to limit distribution of The Post's article pending "fact-checking."
Republican lawmakers on Wednesday cited the article censorship by Twitter and Facebook in calls for reform Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, a foundational internet liability shield for sites that host third-party content. Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) separately requested a Federal Election Commission investigation.
Supporters of reforming Section 230 say tech giants should lose protections if they operate as a publisher, rather than as a neutral platform.
"Condemnation is not enough. It's time to reform Section 230," wrote Rep. Ken Buck (R-Colo.), a Republican on the House Judiciary Committee.
"Twitter is attempting to meddle in the election with anti-conservative bias. @jack is acting like a publisher, making the case yet again to reform Section 230," Buck wrote.
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), the panel's top Republican, wrote, "Big Tech claims they aren't biased against Conservatives. So why are they suppressing speech to help the Democrats? Section 230!"

Man sues doctor who left surgery for bank
NEW YORK, New York (CNN) -- The patient who was left on an operating table while his doctor went to the bank filed a malpractice suit against the surgeon Wednesday.
Charles Algeri, who was undergoing spinal fusion surgery, says he suffers severe pain because Dr. David C. Arndt abandoned him on the operating table with an open incision for half an hour while he went to cash a check.
The Massachusetts hospital suspended Arndt after the July 10 incident, and issued a statement that said it's been taking "a very hard and critical look" at its procedures.
CNN's Connie Chung spoke with Algeri for an exclusive interview, his first since filing the lawsuit, along with his attorney Marc Breakstone on "Connie Chung Tonight."
CONNIE CHUNG, CNN: Mr. Algeri, tell me, since the surgery, how have you been?
CHARLES ALGERI: Not very good. The pain is getting progressively worse every day.
CHUNG: Well, I know that this operation was a spinal fusion and that the doctor left for 35 minutes. Did you have any idea that he was gone?
ALGERI: No, none at all. I was under general anesthetic at the time. I didn't find out for, like, a month. Almost a month after the surgery is when I actually found out.
CHUNG: How did you find out?
ALGERI: The hospital called me up and they told me there was something they thought I might like to know, that the doctor left. And I said, "Well, everybody needs a break."
And they said, "Well, he left the building and he went down to Harvard square and to the bank." ... They wanted to tell me that my confidentiality would be left out -- my name would be left out in case there was an investigation into it.
CHUNG: Do you know what prompted the hospital to call you right at that time, because it was a month later?
ALGERI: The next day, I picked up the newspaper and I turned on the news and my phone started ringing. I was all over the place -- well, the case was all over, not my name -- because the media had ahold of it and it broke the next day. That's why I believe they told me that day.
CHUNG: Mr. Algeri, you must have been just astounded. I mean, what were you thinking and feeling inside once you heard that this doctor had left you on the operating table?
ALGERI: I hung up the phone. And they told me. And I said, "Goodbye." And I didn't believe it. It was surreal. And I said, 'No, that couldn't have been happening. This must be like a dream.' And I just hung up the phone.
And as it sank in, I said, 'This isn't a dream. It actually happened.' Then I started to get a little mad and [wonder] "why me?" and the depression and all of that. I went through all the stages.
CHUNG: Well, let's bring in your lawyer now. Mr. Breakstone, tell us, you are not suing the hospital. Why not?
MARC BREAKSTONE, ATTORNEY FOR ALGERI: Well, in Massachusetts, we have an antiquated law called the charitable immunity cap which limits damages to a charitable institution, like Mount Auburn Hospital, to $20,000.
And Dr. Arndt has $5 million of insurance coverage and really bears full responsibility for the damage done to Mr. Algeri, which is a significant permanent nerve injury.
CHUNG: So, what you've done is file that malpractice suit.
BREAKSTONE: Yes.
CHUNG: And what do you hope to get from that?
BREAKSTONE: Well, we hope to get answers for the bizarre behavior of this physician, who left his patient opened up with a 14-inch incision, under general anesthesia, while he went to the bank. And we hope to get full compensation for Mr. Algeri for his very significant permanent injuries.
CHUNG: Now, according to the Department of Public Health, they don't quite agree with you. I mean, they don't believe that your claims are valid.
BREAKSTONE: Well, I don't quite agree with you, Connie. That's not a fair reading of the Department of Public Health report.
They found that three of the four claims were valid. And they found that the X-rays taken in the operating room at the end of the procedure did not show, as one of my experts suggested, that the fusion looked as if it was going to fail. Subsequent X-rays done with contrast, a myelogram, showed that the fusion grafts had actually fallen out, like mortar that had been dropped on the ground, rather than placed between bricks.
CHUNG: Mr. Algeri, you gave a little idea in the beginning of how you are, but perhaps you can tell us now. I mean, will you have to have another operation or did the spinal fusion actually work?
ALGERI: No, it did not work. Actually, we've been fighting with the insurance company. Within two weeks, I hope I'm going to be having another surgery to straighten it out, which means they have to take apart the screws and the rod. They have to take apart the whole hardware to fix this thing, this piece that fell out. And they have to put me back together again.
So, it means another scar, another week in the hospital, maybe another two weeks rehab, running through Christmas. And the pain is worse and worse. I mean, I've thought about not having it done, but there's no way I cannot have it done.
CHUNG: And what do you think should happen to Dr. Arndt?
ALGERI: (laughter) Everybody asks me this. And I would like for him to live in my shoes for a couple of weeks or a month, just to see what his actions have done to me.
A lot of people think I'm out for money. And it's not that. It's that I want to get well. I would like him to live, to go through what I go through every day just to get out of bed, just to get in and out of the bathroom, let's say ... walk a mile in my shoes.

Belonging: Reconnecting America's Loneliest Generation
Our newest research found today's young people are the most lonely and isolated generation that has ever existed. One in three young people feel completely alone much of the time.
The good news?
You're the solution.
Get our new national research report examining the landscape of loneliness specific to 13-to-25-year-olds.
Belonging is... "[a] place that's open... where you can be known even in the complicated times... where all [is] on the table, and yet you're loved."
(Ophelia, 20)
An interview excerpt from Belonging: Reconnecting America's Loneliest Generation
What would it look like for belonging to come before believing?
One of the fundamental truths about communities is that belonging comes before believing. As our research demonstrates, we often get that equation backward, especially when it comes to young people. The traditional institutional tools for engaging with young people are no longer effective as trust erodes across all institutional sectors.
What is the real purpose of youth ministry and young adult programming?
It is time to rethink youth engagement and teen outreach. We can't keep building programs that don't work. The research is clear: if we want to improve ministry to teens and young adults, or revive a dying youth ministry, we need to start by focusing on people before programs.
Young people are facing epidemic levels of isolation and loneliness.
Our national study has found that young people now more than ever want a place where they feel like they belong. Unfortunately, in a world with increasingly fewer institutional connections, young people are struggling to connect with each other and the adults who care about them.
Look at the latest numbers, released in our new research report,
Belonging: Reconnecting America's Loneliest Generation
Young people are alone at their most vulnerable moments. Young people who experience isolation and loneliness are 3.5x more likely to be severely stressed.
Two thirds (61.8%) of young people are attending their place of worship once a week or more, but there is no difference on how completely alone they feel. 20% of young people who attend a religious service at least once a week feel completely alone.
Nearly 40% of young people feel at times they have no one to talk to and attending religious groups or gatherings does not have any effect, unless they have a relationship with an adult who cares.
What if the solution is simply you helping them find that place of belonging?
What we found in our research is astonishing. In addition to discovering how lonely young people actually are, we found a way to battle these troubling statistics. In this report, we clearly demonstrate that although the old days of being connected to institutions are gone, there is clearly reason for hope. That hope is you.
The adults who are most effective at connecting with young people are those who lead with relationships, not programs. Adults are as important in the lives of young people as they have ever been, maybe even more so. The presence of just one adult relationship in the life of a young person cuts severe isolation, raises trust levels, and results in more confidence.

I am sure that many of you have seen the comments by FIZZ's CEO. I didn't understand the blurbs I read, so I went to the National Beverage website to see if looking at the original source helped (link below). It didn't. Perhaps he will explain what he means by "injustice" elsewhere.For full disclosure, I've never had a LaCroix beverage. According to the CEO, it is apparently some experience. I notice that National Beverage also owns Faygo. I have been a happy Faygo drinker in the past, though I haven't had some for a long time. I don't expect the CEO to describe Faygo drinkers the same way.http://ir.nationalbeverage.com/static-files/59145949-41c2-44...

We conduct the following investigation services: Insurance Investigations
Closure Investigative Agency, Inc. has the experience and resources necessary to bring every fraud investigation to a successful conclusion.
For decades, insurance companies have dealt with countless cases of insurance fraud, which have cost the industry many billions of dollars.
We treat each investigation as a stand-alone case, and our pre-surveillance investigation and due diligence are what make our work unique.
The nature of these claims requires an outside-the-box approach as most of the claimants are working. Our strategies have proven useful in providing positive results for our clients.
Does your claim or financial judgment have a cash value? We can perform various degrees of asset searches. We also make note of liabilities that might offset the assets. We are thorough in our efforts and provide our clients with the evidence essential to make a sound financial decision.
An activity check can be very beneficial. By conducting an activity check, the claims specialist will get you a description of your claimant's residence, a description of the surroundings, and will have prepared information for future surveillance efforts, if needed. A discreet neighborhood canvas will also be used to obtain information. We also will cross reference a variety of different investigative databases and resources to get you the information you deserve.
C.I.A. conducts an investigation in proximity of a subject's current and prior residences to determine if the subject received – or is receiving – medical treatment in a hospital, clinic, or diagnostic imaging facility. Further, C.I.A. can determine if a subject obtained, or is obtaining, prescription medication from any pharmacies in the subject's local area.
*These searches may require a HIPPA-compliant release.
Your report will contain the information that is available to us – based on your needs.
Based on the type of investigation that is conducted, the report will include surveillance times, investigation summaries, and all of our findings. The report will be finalized and approved by our firm's manager. The report can then be turned over to your department heads. Our assigned investigator will then be available for court testimonies – should the occasion arise.
If you are looking for particular information, our team will include this in your finalized report. This can range from: Recorded statement summaries, residential and neighborhood canvass, witness interviews, subject images, and database results. Simply tell us what you're looking for. Our investigators will handle the rest.

"I can't begin to thank you enough for the service that you and your team provided to me and my family. Having never used a private investigator in the past, your team was very good at explaining to me the process and Florida laws…
I can't recommend Ulises and his team enough for the work they did. By far, one of the most professional and dedicated group of people I've worked with. Even our attorney was impressed with the results they provided us."
"My soon to be ex-wife and her friends visited Fort Lauderdale for a small "getaway." For a while before the trip she was acting different and I just had that "gut feeling" that something was going on or something was going to happen in Florida.
I hired Ulises and his team and they were able to get on the case in less than 30 minutes. To my (not)surprise, she met up with a co-worker who also went out to Florida for a trip. While she claimed the trip was coincidental, I highly doubt that is the truth. The evidence Ulises was able to acquire for me was more than enough to give me the peace of mind I needed."
