August 26, 1498: Michelangelo is commissioned to carve La Pietà by French Cardinal Jean de Bilhères. The sculpture captures the moment when Jesus is taken down from the cross and given to his mother Mary. It is one of Michelangelo’s finest works, currently displayed in St. Peter’s Basilica.

Someone bought the infamous Zorro Ranch...

Epstein's New Mexico ranch is sold for an undisclosed price to a newly registered company

SANTA FE, N.M. (KRQE) – The roughly 8,000-acre Zorro Ranch in New Mexico connected to Jeffrey Epstein was listed for sale for $27.5 million; and according to the Santa Fe County Clerks’ office – it was sold this month to San Rafael Ranch, LLC. A new warranty deed was recorded on August 16 for an undisclosed amount.

KRQE Investigates obtained documents confirming the change of ownership from Cypress Inc. to San Rafael Ranch, LLC. Records show Epstein and the Zorro trust bought the ranch from the Gary King family, then built his 33,339 square foot mansion there in the ’90s.

Two years ago, KRQE Investigates uncovered a fake warranty deed connected to the Epstein property in New Mexico. The Florida man associated with the fake deed later faced a federal indictment for allegedly hiring a hitman.

On Tuesday, an attorney for the Epstein estate confirmed to KRQE the sale of the Zorro ranch property.

    On behalf of the Epstein Estate, we confirm sale by the Estate of the New Mexico property known as “Zorro Ranch,” with the proceeds to be used for Estate administration, including payment of creditors.  While details of that sale (including the purchase price and buyer) are confidential, the Estate will disclose the sale in its next quarterly accounting to be filed in the St. Thomas, USVI probate court.

The LLC registered with the secretary of state's office in late July with the agent name of Charles V. Henry IV. Apparently, the Clinton's were frequent guests at the Ranch.



Paper and bamboo straws contain PFAS chemicals more often than plastic straws do, study finds



And have escalating side effects which may surpass the original "emergency."


How The Campaign To Ban Plastic Straws Got Its Start



In 1934, Hollywood photographer A.L. "Whitey" Schafer took this staged photo which mocked the Motion Picture Production Code (aka Hays Code), a set of moral guidelines that were applied to American films that were released from 1934 to 1968. The photo attempted to violate as many rules as possible in one image.



The Motion Picture Production Code stipulated the following:

"No picture shall be produced which will lower the moral standards of those who see it. Hence the sympathy of the audience shall never be thrown to the side of crime, wrong-doing, evil or sin. Correct standards of life, subject only to the requirements of drama and entertainment, shall be presented. Law, natural or human, shall not be ridiculed, nor shall sympathy be created for its violation.

Prohibitions on:
1. Nudity
2. Suggestive dances
3. Discussions of sexual perversity
4. Superfluous use of liquor
5. Ridicule of religion
6. Miscegenation
7. Lustful kissing
8. Scenes of passion"

The Hays Code stipulated that a kiss can only last 3 seconds. If you watch Hitchcock's movie, Notorious (1946), there's a kiss scene that lasts two and a half minutes. The actors just break off every 3 seconds.
