Barclays is based in London and serves 48 million people worldwide. Its U.S. banking operation, which is only online, offers excellent annual percentage yields, but you'll need to pair its services with another bank if you need a checking account because Barclays doesn't offer that service.
If you value high savings rates, though, you may be able to overlook this limitation and a few others. Barclays also lacks a branch network and the latest technological features, so the bank is best suited for consumers who take a hands-off approach to saving money.
Ratings methodology | Updated May 5, 2017
With low fees and some of the highest interest rates around, Barclays is the bank to boost your savings. The Dream Account and Online Savings Account offer 1.30% APY and reward you for staying on track with savings. And there are few or no fees.
Whereas some banks charge pricey overdraft fees, Barclays has a $5 nonsufficient funds fee charged if a transfer or withdrawal would overdraw your account.

When someone posted on Country Mill Farms' Facebook page, asking whether they would host a same-sex wedding, the Tennes family gave an honest answer. As Catholics, the Tennes family believes what the Bible says about marriage: that it is between one man and one woman. The Tennes family stated their beliefs and indicated that they would refer these events to a nearby farm.
They never thought that a city 22 miles away would punish them for simply stating their beliefs. But that's exactly what happened.
Upon seeing this statement, the city of East Lansing decided to ban Country Mill from its Farmers Market, which they had been attending for seven years to sell their produce. The city claimed that by communicating about their religious beliefs, the Tennes family was in violation of the city's sexual orientation gender identity ordinance.
But the Constitution protects the Tennes family's right to speak about their religious beliefs, without fear of government punishment – and certainly without fear of being punished by a government 22 miles away.
Not only is this a major constitutional violation, it is a major overreach by East Lansing officials.
Steve and Bridget Tennes strive to live their lives in a way that reflects Christ's love and raise their five children according to their beliefs. Their faith guides the way that they operate their farm; it is central to their life.
The right to communicate our beliefs without fear of punishment should be a freedom that our government actively works to preserve, even if it disagrees.
That's why the city of East Lansing kicking Country Mill out of its Farmers Market is so outrageous, and why Alliance Defending Freedom is taking legal action on behalf of the Tennes family. Our government should be protecting our rights, not punishing us for exercising our freedom. And the government certainly should not be reaching outside its jurisdiction just to advance its political agenda.
The political winds of the government change every time we elect new representatives. The government may be punishing the Tenneses now for speaking about their biblical view of marriage, but it could punish any one of us for speaking a message it doesn't like in the future.
ADF is working hard to preserve this freedom for the Tennes family, so that our constitutional freedoms continue to be preserved for generations to come.
But we cannot do any of this without your support, which enables us to provide Christians like the Tennes family with the legal support they need to stand up to powerful government forces. Will you stand with the Tennes family and with ADF to secure our freedoms for generations to come?

2.2.5 Pure Functions
Pure functions.
When you use functional operations such as Nest and Map, you always have to specify a function to apply. In all the examples above, we have used the "name" of a function to specify the function. Pure functions allow you to give functions which can be applied to arguments, without having to define explicit names for the functions.
In[1]:= h[x_] := f[x] + g[x]
In[2]:= Map[h, {a, b, c}]
In[3]:= Map[ f[#] + g[#] &, {a, b, c} ]
There are several equivalent ways to write pure functions in Mathematica. The idea in all cases is to construct an object which, when supplied with appropriate arguments, computes a particular function. Thus, for example, if fun is a pure function, then fun[a] evaluates the function with argument a.
In[4]:= Function[x, x^2]
In[5]:= %[n]
You can use a pure function wherever you would usually give the name of a function.
In[6]:= Map[ Function[x, x^2], a + b + c ]
In[7]:= Nest[ Function[q, 1/(1+q)], x, 3 ]
In[8]:= Function[{x, y}, x^2 + y^3] [a, b]
If you are going to use a particular function repeatedly, then you can define the function using f[x_]:=body, and refer to the function by its name f. On the other hand, if you only intend to use a function once, you will probably find it better to give the function in pure function form, without ever naming it. If you are familiar with formal logic or the LISP programming language, you will recognize Mathematica pure functions as being like expressions or anonymous functions. Pure functions are also close to the pure mathematical notion of operators.
Short forms for pure functions.
Just as the name of a function is irrelevant if you do not intend to refer to the function again, so also the names of arguments in a pure function are irrelevant. Mathematica allows you to avoid using explicit names for the arguments of pure functions, and instead to specify the arguments by giving "slot numbers" #n. In a Mathematica pure function, #n stands for the n argument you supply. # stands for the first argument.
In[9]:= Map[ #^2 &, a + b + c ]
In[10]:= Map[Take[#, 2]&, {{2, 1, 7}, {4, 1, 5}, {3, 1, 2}}]
In[11]:= tonumber[digits_] := Fold[(10 #1 + #2)&, 0, digits]
When you use short forms for pure functions, it is very important that you do not forget the ampersand. If you leave the ampersand out, Mathematica will not know that the expression you give is to be used as a pure function. When you use the ampersand notation for pure functions, you must be careful about the grouping of pieces in your input. As shown in Section A.2.7 the ampersand notation has fairly low precedence, which means that you can type expressions like #1+#2& without parentheses. On the other hand, if you want, for example, to set an option to be a pure function, you need to use parentheses, as in option->(fun&). Pure functions in Mathematica can take any number of arguments. You can use ## to stand for all the arguments that are given, and ##n to stand for the n and subsequent arguments.
In[12]:= f[##, ##]& [x, y]
In[13]:= Apply[f[##2, #1]&, {{a, b, c}, {ap, bp}}, {1}]

I came for fillers in my smile creases, the consultant I saw was very informative, and professionally complementary to the fact they did not think I needed it but nevertheless advised me efficiently and advised me on all my options. The staff at the hospital made me feel very welcome and at ease which was a big help due to my nerves. The building was clean and modern and I did not hesitate to tell my friends all about my experience there. I would definitely be happy for my family and friends to receive any medical services at The Montefiore Hospital.

Hi ~ Here's an idea you might want to try,
I stumbled across this helpful tidbit of information:(I've tried it out and it seems to work for me, I just feel better overall)After Reading THIS, you'll NEVER look at a banana in the same way again!Bananas Containing three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucosecombined with fiber, a banana gives an instant, sustained and substantialboost of energy. Research has proven that just two bananas provide enoughenergy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the banana is thenumber one fruit with the world's leading athletes. But energy isn't theonly way a banana can help us keep fit. It can also help overcome orprevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a mustto add to our daily diet.Depression:According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people sufferingfrom depression, many felt much better after eating a banana. This isbecause bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the bodyconverts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood andgenerally make you feel happier.PMS:Forget the pills -- eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains regulatesblood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.Anemia:High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of hemoglobin in theblood and so helps in ! cases of anemia.Blood Pressure:This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt,making it the perfect way to beat blood pressure. So much so, the US Foodand Drug Administration has just allowed the banana industry to makeofficial claims for the fruit's ability to reduce the risk of bloodpressure and stroke.Brain Power:200 students at a Twickenham (Middlesex) school were helped through theirexams this year by eating bananas at breakfast, break, and lunch in a bidto boost their brain power. Research has shown that the potassium-packedfruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert.Constipation:High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can help restore normal bowelaction, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives.Hangovers:One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to make a bananamilkshake, sweetened with honey. The banana calms the stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milksoothes and re-hydrates your system.Heartburn:Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer fromheartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief.Morning Sickness:Snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up andavoid morning sickness.Mosquito bites:Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the affected areawith the inside of a banana skin. Many people find it amazingly successfulat reducing swelling and irritation.Nerves:Bananas are high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system.Overweight and at work?Studies at the Institute of Psychology in Austria found pressure at workleads to gorging on comfort food like chocolate and chips. Looking at5,000 hospital patients, researchers found the most obese were more likelyto be in high-pressure jobs. The report concluded that, to avoidpanic-induced food cravings, we need to control our blood sugar levels bysnacking on high carbohydrate foods every two hours to keep levels steady.Ulcers:The banana is used as the dietary food against intestinal disordersbecause of its soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruit thatcan be eaten without distress in over-chronicler cases. It alsoneutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining ofthe stomach.Temperature control:Many other cultures see bananas as a "cooling" fruit that can lower boththe physical and emotional temperature of expectant mothers. In Thailand,for example, pregnant women eat bananas to ensure their baby is born witha cool temperature.Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD):Bananas can help SAD sufferers because they contain the natural moodenhancer tryptophan.Smoking:Bananas can also help people trying to give up smoking. The B6, B12 theycontain, as well as the potassium and magnesium found in them, help thebody recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal.Stress:Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalize the heartbeat, sendsoxygen to the brain and regulates your body's water balance. When we arestressed, our metabolic rate rises, thereby reducing our potassium levels.These can be rebalanced with the help of a high-potassium banana snack.Strokes:According to research in "The New England Journal of Medicine," eatingbananas as part of a regular diet can cut the risk of death by strokes byas much as 40%! So, a banana reall! y is a natural remedy for many ills. When you compare it to an apple, it has four times the protein, twice the carbohydrates, three times the phosphorus, five times the vitamin A and iron, and twice the other vitamins and minerals. It is also rich in potassium and is one of the best value foods around. So maybe its time to change that well-known phrase so that we say, "A banana a day keeps the doctor away!"

Another idea you might want to give some thought to ,
I have'nt tried this but I just thought I'd mention it.
I've come across a natural healer for several medical problems.The scientist (Tom Harper) that made this astonishing discovery was using this "UMAC-CORE (AKA phytoplankton) to grow his clams and when he noticed how great they were doing, he decided to try some himself (he was actually eating Algae).He is a diabetic with cancer and after a few weeks of taking it daily, he found that he no longer needed to take his insulin and the cancer went into remission.I have not seen any documented research re it's benefits for epileptics but maybe it's worth a try.Web site attached:http://www.umac-core.com/product_information.htm#sodium
Hi there,
Firstly, welcome to HealingWell. I hope you enjoy yourself here.
Secondly, alternative therapy. I believe that this is something that has been debated for a number of years and is particularly popular in the modern world. One which caught my eye about 6 months ago is acupuncture and chinese medicines. There is some scientific research to suggest that acupuncture. There is an area in the brain called the "Basal Ganglia" which is responsible for the sensation of pain (amongst other things). Acupuncture has shown to cause increased activity in the Basal Ganglia but patients reported a significant reduction in the number of seizures. They also reported a general feeling of well-being. I have also heard that chinese medicines have special effects but I know much less about these. Running a search on a search engine should give you ample results.
Hope this is what you were looking for. If you want any more information regarding the Basal Ganglia stuff, drop me an email as I cant post research reports under forum rules.
P.S I also saw on the TV once that a guy who had several seizures a week started drinking his own urine and it stopped his seizures all together. It sounds disgusting, it worked for him but its not something I recommend people trying! lol God must have made urine a waste product for a reason... I intend to keep mine that way
Hey there...just a word of caution about "natural" or "alternative" therapies... although they may seem like the perfect answer, use them with discretion. Not only can they interact with medications (synthetic or natural), but certain substances can be harmful if used in large quantities. Not that I disagree with supplements, vitamins, and "alternative" therapy- just make sure you check with your doctor before starting anything. (Better to avoid adverse drug reactions than to have to deal with them.) For instance, flax seed oil should not be used if you are on blood thinners. I definitely would not have thought of that on my own! I'll include a link that might be useful, but do NOT use this as the gospel truth- always consult a doctor first. Best of luck to you, and sorry if I sound like a mother hen.
www.epocrates.com is a website that allows you to check for possible drug interactions. Please realize that, like everything else on the internet, it may not be complete. Always consult a doctor if you are considering starting your own therapy, either as a primary regime or as an adjunct to conventional therapy.
KevinsGirl makes a good point. Natural / Herbal remedies (or what ever you what to call them) can interact with current meds or interact with general health in large quantities. I have to cut down the amount of Green Tea that I drank because there is a chemical in Green Tea (Natural of course!) that causes adverse effects in large quantities. A doctor will always be able to tell you. A pharmacist is always good too. They usually have a degree in Pharmacology and know about drug interactions.
Im glad everything is starting to go your way. Long may it continue

Pomona, FL (PressExposure) November 03, 2009 -- Online flower shops became popular because of its advantages. In the past, OFWs could only send other gifts like toys or clothing through packages or usually known to the Philippines as Balikbayan boxes. Sending flowers are next to impossible. But because of the internet, OFWs are now allowed to send flowers to their loved ones back home through online philippine flower delivery [http://www.flowersexpress.com.ph/delivery.aspx] services. The only thing that an OFW would do is to ready their back accounts, and choose from a wide array of flowers to be sent to their loved ones in the Philippines. But there are something that OFWs and other people should know about with online flower shops.
Although we see that an online flower shop could provide a wider array of flowers than those available in a brick-and-mortar flower shop, little do we know that this online flower shop is only an agent. Agents or brokers are usually the owners of the majority online shops across the world, not only in the Philippines. These online philippine flower delivery [http://www.flowersexpress.com.ph/delivery.aspx] services are only brokers that relays the purchase information from their website to local florists.
Order brokers are third-party agents that display arrangement and bouquet product images and then transfer orders to affiliated local florists for fulfillment and hand delivery. Order broker customers pay additional service fees as well as local delivery charges, which are generally included in the price displayed with each product. Orders are sent to local florists for fulfillment via a floral wire service. There is, however, an advantage to using agent sites.
Genuine online philippine flower delivery [http://www.flowersexpress.com.ph/delivery.aspx] services are usually limited to their immediate geographic area, which is physically serviced by their companies' own vans and personnel. Agent sites can offer faster and easier way for their customers to send flowers through a single website. Unlike the genuine online flower shop, order brokers' scope of service are usually nationwide, even in provinces in which a local florist wouldn't usually provide service.
The only problem with this is the cost. Cost of flowers in an agent site is usually higher than that of local florists'. But according to several professionals in the field, these costs aren't as significant compared to that of local florists'. Other than flowers, these agent sites would also provide other gift items such as chocolates, cakes, wines, and other gift items that are usually used to go with the flower.

One person was killed today in a leopard attack in Rajasthan's Sariska forest Reserve. With this, the number of deaths in the Reserve area due to leopard attacks has risen to seven.
The person, Ramprasad Gurjar, belonged to Bansur area and was traveling between Nagalhedi and Madhogarh when the panther attacked and dragged him to a hutment. The panther had devoured 40 per cent of his body. Locals informed the police and district administration on seeing the body.
FYI || After an intense battle, dog sacrifices life to save Kerala family from cobra ||
Hundreds of people have gathered seeking redressal and have refused to allow post -mortem of the body. Several top officials from the police and district administration have reached the spot and combing operation is being carried out in the forest area. Cages, meant for catching the leopard, have been dispatched for the areas near the place the attack happened.
The Reserve has recently been under increasing glare due to a marked rise in incidents of leopards attacking human beings.
In last month, there had been four deaths within a span of seven days. There continues to be palpable anger and fear amongst the villagers. Despite repeated assurances, leopard attacks did not stop and has adversely affected people's lives in the area.
FYI || Goa power tussle: What is horse-trading? Why is Congress accusing BJP of it? ||
The district administration and forest Reserve officials had woken up to the gravity of situation after the villagers raised a lot of hue and cry. Seven leopards have been captured by the administration but the incidents of leopards attacking human being have not abated.

Building a tech career in Buffalo? There's an app for that
When one of the steak knives Mike Klanac received as a Christmas gift broke, he wanted to throw it out. But his wife insisted that he complain to the company. He did – by phone, online and on social media. A response came a month later and the replacement knife came a few weeks after that.
Annoying? Yes. Inspiring? Surprisingly, also yes. Because the experience led Klanac to quit his day job to follow the 21st century entrepreneurial dream of creating a website and app that became "GripeO: A Better Way to Complain."
But what might be most intriguing about Klanac's story is its dateline: This is a Buffalo story, and he and others believe it could be the start of something bigger. While many flock to Silicon Valley and New York City to launch the next Instagram or Twitter, a small but dedicated group of app developers have decided to establish a foothold in Western New York.
GripeO is one of them. Klanac has moved to Houston to be closer to his wife's family, but his company's 10 employees are all from Buffalo. Four developers remain here, and the company's headquarters are at Z80 Labs, the tech incubator in downtown Buffalo.
Other apps with a Buffalo connection include Vidbolt, which allows users to interact with other people while watching videos online; Cake Face, which allows people who are hosting or attending weddings and similar occasions to compile all the photos taken on smartphones during that event in one place; CoachMePlus, a sports performance data tracker app that helps professional coaches follow their athletes during strength and conditioning programs; and an app in stealth beta – in its second phase of development, but specifics are kept under wraps – that its Buffalo-native developer hopes will become the "premiere platform" for discovering rising filmmakers.
It's unlikely that any of the apps will reap the success of already iconic brands such as Instagram or SnapChat. Some already are barely hanging on in the ultra-competitive app marketplace. But for some of the developers, success is about more than money.
"All of us love Buffalo. We wanted to stay and serve the community," Klanac said. "The guys that did leave, it was because of relationships."
Jerod Sikorskyj, one of the two minds behind Vidbolt, believes the region is increasingly attractive to his peers.
"People here are not in burnout mode," he said. "People are more rooted here, and they don't want to leave. You can build a family of people and a quality of relationship."
The number of events and spaces that are catering to entrepreneurs would suggest that the start-up scene here is growing just as many app developers say it is. In March, Buffalo had its first "Maker Faire," an event that started in Silicon Valley in 2006 and at which entrepreneurs can show off their products and businesses. Along with 43North, a business idea competition, co-working spaces – many of which specialize in tech – also are popping up.
"Buffalo has a lot of people starting things. There's so much opportunity for collaboration. It's both big and small enough," said Teo Balbach, the CEO of CoachMePlus. Like GripeO, it also operates out of Z80.
Sitting close by in the open-concept work space of Z80 is Crystal Callahan, the founder and president of the World Wide App Inc. Callahan grew up on the East Side, but left Buffalo at age 17 because she didn't think there were enough opportunities for her.
She had been living in Hollywood near the Adobe Theater as a film distributor after a stint in Silicon Valley. A year ago, Jordan Levy, venture capitalist and founder of Z80, invited Callahan back to Buffalo to be on the forefront of what she likes to refer to as the "high-tech revolution."
"Some people call it a renaissance or revival, but I like revolution," said Callahan, who is working on the app that she hopes will help discover independent filmmakers. "We have ideas and talent and passion and a good work ethic and faith."
If it is a revolution, it's a small one; Buffalo is no threat to become the Silicon Valley of the East, despite the fact that it might make economic sense to establish a company that relies on youth and risk-taking in order to succeed in a place with such a low cost of living.
Many local high-tech start-ups have started to use the website nextplex.com, which provides a network of other start-ups, to connect with like-minded people. Some have used it as a barometer to compare how Buffalo is doing to other cities when it comes to high tech. There are 14 cities on the site, which includes Buffalo, Rochester, Philadelphia, Charlotte and Phoenix.
Cleveland and Pittsburgh, two cities to which Buffalo is often compared, also make the list. Compared with those places, which both have 20 start-ups listed, Buffalo has 58, and the list is not exhaustive. It also includes companies that do not produce apps for everyday use.
Enrico Moretti, a professor of economics at the University of California, Berkeley, and the author of "The New Geography of Jobs," explains in his recent book what he refers to as a "baffling" phenomenon.
"Companies appear to locate in absolutely the worst places: They pick very expensive areas – the Bostons, San Franciscos and New Yorks of the world. With sky-high wages and office rents, these are among the costliest places in America to operate a business," he wrote.
According to Moretti, one of the reasons new companies go through with what might initially seem like a bad idea is that there are cluster effects in these areas that make all the difference in allowing developers to inspire each other.
Dan Gigante, a co-owner of 19 Ideas, a local marketing and communications agency that builds websites among other services, has dedicated himself to building the tech community here through Buffalo's tech "unconference," "BarCamp" and Buffalo's "Startup Weekend," an event that takes place in cities around the world and caters to entrepreneurs. He pointed to another issue that holds back more growth.
"For now, there are a lot of opportunities and only so many qualified people," Gigante said. "Everyone and their brother want to develop an app right now, but barely anyone knows how to do it. We need more developers."
Still, a positive mood is in the air both at Z80 and elsewhere. Many local "techies" say they are excited about the future of Buffalo's start-up scene, but there is one factor that many believe could make or break future growth: local funding.
Chris Castleman, who co-founded the app Cake Face, said banks and investors were not interested in their company.
"People don't really understand what an app is. It was difficult trying to get lawyers even to wrap their head around what we are trying to do," Castleman said of the experience in Buffalo.
Moretti argued venture capital is "the most important part of the high-tech ecosystem." He wrote there is a lot of money to be had in tech hubs such as Silicon Valley, but few investors are willing to spread the wealth very far from where they are based.
Jack McGowan, executive director of the seed investing Buffalo Angels, said that problem is not unique to Buffalo. He said that not many cities can achieve what is happening in larger markets.
"Here we have a much more limited amount of capital to go into these projects. We can't take risks like they do in Silicon Valley," McGowan said.
Apps are like restaurants; very few make it. Cake Face, for one, has about 10 customers who pay $199 for the service during the peak summer months.
In Silicon Valley, so much money is floating around that investors can pour resources into many apps in the hope that one of them will be the next big thing, according to McGowan. He said he believes this might start to become more of a reality in Western New York and that more money for these projects could come soon because the tech culture is starting to grow.
"You are starting to see more formal and informal education in entrepreneurship," he said, referring to events like Startup Weekend. "It takes a lot of time to bring these pieces up together."

A motorist who had to stop for a man in a wheelchair tapped the chair with his car bumper Monday in the parking lot at Lowe's Home Improvement Warehouse, 3341 Lexington Road, Athens-Clarke police said.
A 59-year-old Nicholson man had just left the store and was traveling in his wheelchair toward his car about 12:05 p.m. when a car turned the corner and had to stop, police said.
The motorist cursed at the Nicholson man, then tapped the wheelchair with his car's front bumper, according to police.
Witnesses ran over when they saw what happened, and the motorist drove away, police said.
The Nicholson man said he thought the car was going to push him over, and officers are investigating the case as a possible aggravated assault, police said.
Witnesses, who said the man in the wheelchair had the right of way, gave different tag numbers for the small silver or gray car, police said, but they agreed the tag began with the letters PD.
They described the driver as a short, heavy-set white man, police said.

Please make note of the changes at the bottom of the page. If you need some help with strategy consult this post.
The event announcement has been out on iRacing for a few days and there has been some good feedback. Namely citing how crazy we are, but that is what Oppo does. Are you looking for a challenging race in a fun car with 59 other virtual racers, well the Team Oppo iRacing Miata Challenge may be the contest for you. We are trying to fill the pit stalls of Lime Rock Park 2 times over. This event is designed to challenge both your driving abilities and your strategery skills. The setup is fixed so no worries about tweaking, the fuel is restricted so you will have to plan out your stints just like in endurance road racing. It should be great fun and I look forward to it.
This is a friendly reminder to sign-up for the Team Oppo iRacing Miata Challenge at Lime Rock Park which takes place this Sunday April 23rd. Sign ups are now open to everyone, so get your spot now before the race fills up.
Please note that practice and qualifying are optional. However, if you reserved a slot in the race, please be in the room by qualifying (1230pm EDT). At 1230, all remaining spots will be opened to standby drivers. You can join after 1230, but you are not guaranteed in the race.
CLICK HERE for more detailed event information. Below is a Reader's Digest version:
Date: Sunday April 23rd
Race Starts: 1PM EDT
Race Length: 90 minutes
Fixed Setup and Fuel Restricted
There are no prerequisites to race and all content is included with the base iRacing subscription.
Click the link below to fill out your registration. We will see you on track.
*Do me a solid, since the form is open to all iRacers now, if you are on Opponaut or DB driver put [oppo] after your name. I asked people to put in nicknames for the post race write-up, so I want to keep oppos straight from the others.
Many communications for the race will take place via iRacing PM, please make sure you know how to access that and receive notifications.
[Rule Change Announcement - 4/21/16] A decent number of people have signed up for the race. It may not yet be 60, but it is more than 10. After going through the entrants and doing some testing I am announcing 3 things regarding the race.
- After analyzing the iRatings, I am splitting the field into 2 classes (Pro and Am). The Pro class will feature those of higher iR and the AM with lower. There is a significant disparity in ratings and I want drivers to actually feel like they are racing for something. The official split will be determined race morning (for example Pro = >2000 iR, AM = <2000 iR). Please note that because we are all driving the same car, I cannot split the fields officially in iR.
- We should have a booth admin. One of my friends volunteered to be a booth admin for us if he is available. He will be responsible for throwing cautions and doing wave-bys under yellow. However, he might not be available to help until around 1:30PM so there will be a change in officiating mid-race.
- Wave-byes: Because we will have a booth admin. I am giving all cars 1 or more laps down 1 lap back during the yellow. These way arounds will be assessed once the leaders have the chance to get to pit road. In other words, once the pacecar passes pit exit on the first go around pit road is open. For this, we ask all wave byes pass to the RIGHT of the field. All cars not receiving a wave by must stay to the LEFT. *Note: This means the automated Lucky Dog will be turned off.

Kansas Officials Approve $4.2M in Emergency Aid for Schools
Associated Press - November 9, 2015 1:00 pm
Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback has signed into law a measure that creates an independent task force to review the state's child welfare system.
Republican Gov. Sam Brownback and top legislators have approved $4.2 million in emergency aid for 25 public school districts after trimming back their requests.
Brownback and eight top lawmakers reviewed the requests Monday under a school funding law enacted earlier this year. They approved a previous round of aid in August.
The districts sought $6.5 million for greater student numbers, unexpected drops in property tax revenues or other reasons. Brownback and legislative leaders approved 66 percent of their requests.
The Wichita district sought $980,000 for additional teachers and classroom aides for an influx of refugee children. The amount was reduced to $367,000 because of uncertainty about refugee numbers.
The meeting came three days after the Kansas Supreme Court heard arguments over whether the funding law complies with the state constitution.

Central Perk – 4 Stars
Total hidden gem. Great ambiance and a killer macchiato, but my favorite part is how you're actually in Burbank the whole time!
Lattes: $3.50
What I Paid Those Six People to Move For a Second Just So I Could See What The Couches Felt Like: $60
Crushed Velvet Against My Thighs: Priceless
Definitely coming back. Stay tuned for The One Where I Order a Doubleshot!
The Icehouse – 4 Stars
Good oysters are hard to find. So hard, in fact, that I'm willing to put up with a wait staff paralyzed by pubescent hormones.
Happy Hour is packed with Wilmington locals, all of whom have piercing blue eyes and modeling contracts. To avoid the crowd, I come just before close — when I'm hungry, I Don't Wanna Wait.
Bluth Banana Stand – 4 stars
This place is good. You know— not so good that it's hard to believe this review was written by an actual customer, but still very good. Notice how I am being both complimentary and vague! Because how would I, a mere casual patron, have acquired the vocabulary to discuss the specifics of a dessert kiosk?
I'll tell you one thing—the owner is honest, a real stand-up guy. He would never send his son to post a Yelp review. That type of behavior sickens him. But definitely not in a food poisoning kind of way.
Vesuvio – 3 stars
They got my order wrong. Not happy about it. Plan on coming back heavy — Artie's a good guy, but I eat seafood salad for no man.
Inn At The Crossroads – 3 Stars
Can't make up my mind about the atmosphere here. Some days it's stuffy and morbid, others it's rustic and quaint. Totally depends on the smell (which depends on the body count).
Seems like that Warm Pie dude is always the one to take my order. Boy, is he a talker — I make a point to only speak in High Valerian, and yet he never takes the hint. I'm usually just seconds away from ripping out his vocal chords when he brings over that famous kidney pie for me to focus on. Say what you will about the kid — he's a good cook. And he's got great timing.
It's not perfect, but it's the only Inn on the Kingsroad for a while. Nomadic ruffians can't be choosers.
One tip: Be sure to get the Winter Ale—not too hoppy; pairs well with imminent castration.
Goodburger – 1 star
The most terrifying fast food experience I've ever had. Something I ate (think it was the "milky shake?") caused me to hallucinate a studio audience, a completely unwarranted film option, and a surprisingly long career for Kenan Thompson. Fries were good, though.
Freddy's BBQ (CLOSED) – 5 Stars
We decided to check this place out for ourselves after Eater DC called it "vice-presidential"—cute! It was strangely divey, but ultimately we dug the ambiance. We found out (from Freddy, in the flesh!) that they were closing this location, but a franchise would be opening soon. Freddy dusted off his apron and agreed to serve us anyway, and the ribs were like nothing I've ever experienced — melted in your mouth, spiced perfectly. Everything was made with love. Shame to see this place go.
Litchfield Cafeteria – 5 stars
Absolutely LOVE this place. Went for dinner, and already made plans to go back tomorrow morning!
Some highlights:
Mustard: A delight! Just the right texture. Goes with everything.
Chicken Fingers: Probably the best "meat product" I've ever had.
Brussel Sprouts: Good for you, so there's that. Sprinkle it with rat feces for extra protein!
You haven't lived until you've tried Gloria's Spaghettios. Couldn't stop thinking about them. Gloria's fantastic, too — like the incarcerated Mario Batali. (Also, Gloria, if you're reading this, could I borrow a cigarette? And by borrow I mean have. Please? I'm going through a really hard time right now.)
MacLaren's Pub – 3 Stars
Usually I love a bar with a full kitchen, but this place didn't do it for me. Not that I expected the Best Burger in New York or anything.
Super mainstream draft selection, but that's a good thing — you wouldn't be here unless super mainstream was what you wanted. Never any music playing, but it's whatever. And I've heard you can BYOSandwiches (wink, wink).
I went with a group of girls, and just before we left, this kooky, theatrical dude started hitting on us. All of us. Simultaneously. Then we found out MacLaren's was out of dessert. So I guess that was the problem—I didn't love the ending.
The Krusty Krab – 3 stars
PRO: Decent burger.
CON: Seabed location.
PRO: Pickles stay crispy.
CON: Difficult to hold breath and consume pickles simultaneously.
PRO: Special sauce is life changing!
CON: I'm a land mammal.
Al-Abbas Best Original Chicken – 5 stars
I really wanted to like this place. Heard it was "the best ever" — just like the name says! — but I'm Jewish, so there was the little matter of the West Bank.
Took some chutzpah, but finally made it in. What makes this chicken different from any other chicken? Palestine's long, violent conflict with my people. Also, pine nuts.
Chili's – 5 Stars
If you're looking for an authentic cultural oasis, look no further. I've never been to Mexico, but am willing to bet it's just an imitation Chili's. Plus, you're less likely to contract Montezuma's revenge at Chili's (though no guarantees).
I came here because my office gave me a gift certificate instead of a bonus. Spent the whole $30, but it was worth it!
– Favorite menu item: the Margarita Fresh Mex Bowl— yes, it lives up to the hype.
– Dessert: Molten Chocolate Cake, duh. Didn't you have a childhood?
– Scranton location is a sight to behold, laden with eclectic decor. The perfect blend of Mexicana and Americana, and made me feel like I was cheersing my blue margaritas in a racially diverse commercial. If that's not living the dream, what is?
The Verdict: Chili's is a must stop for food lovers and cooks alike. You'll find yourself transported to Mexico, but a safe part of Mexico — like walking distance from a Señor Frog's. Book a table (or order online!) ASAP.
Double R Diner – 5 Stars
They do a bunch of Meals For Wheels stuff, so wanted to stop by and show my support. Overall atmosphere was creepy, but in a good way, like Denny's meets the Ace Hotel. Setting makes for great Instagrams. Cherry pie is absolutely surreal.
Some tips:
Keep conversations to a whisper.
Pie pie pie.
Dark red lipstick should remain intact at all times.
Did I mention the pie? Get the pie.
Your jukebox choice MATTERS.
Never. Cross. Norma.
The Max – 3 stars
I don't get this place. Like, are you a diner, or a performance venue? Every time I come here to eat my defrosted turkey burger in peace, some cheerleaders blast the Pointer Sisters and bust into a choreographed routine.
Also, weak drinks. I'm starting to think they don't even serve alcohol.
Sidenote: Would appreciate insight re: crowd's sexual orientation. I'm sorta into this brunette who hangs around this place, and since all the other dudes wear Spandex, you can't be sure.
Grumpy's – 2 stars
I've never been to the real-life Greenpoint location (hear it's better), but after my experience at this one, I'll probably never go.
So the barista was kinda cute. Not like definite-swipe-right cute, but like sure-I'll-open-your-Snapchat-why-not cute. I've been in a dry spell lately, so figured I'd rise to the occasion and flirt my face off.
I must've been SUPER perky or something, because barista boy goes: "Really? You look like you've already had your coffee!" I giggled and then he says: "No, I mean it. Were you here this morning? I swear you were here this morning." And he proceeds to spend the next five minutes insisting that I had already been there. Honestly have no idea if he was flirting. My latte was good, but still—just…ew.
Tl;dr? This place is so not chill. You'll hate yourself less if you just go to Starbucks.
Kwik-E-Mart – 5 Stars
4903 reviews, and not one of them 5 stars?! Honestly, I'm shocked. This place is incredible, from the diverse donut selection to the intimate 7-11 feel. If you stand in the middle aisle, you'll have a perfect vantage point for the sticker wall decals — the "We Card." one was my favorite.
Squishee Frozen Drink – Blue Flavor: 4.5/5
Itchy & Scratchy T-Shirt Selection: 4/5
Microwave Chilidog: 5/5
Not even kidding about that last one — c'est magnifique! They must use locally frozen pork, because this is Springfield's most deluxe dog by far. No wonder the place gets robbed so often.
Paddy's Pub – 2 Stars
If you're looking for an empty bar where you can squat over a public toilet, welcome home. This place has everything — neon signs, sponsored coasters, stale urine smell, and Tiffany lamps (for the ladies). Used to be a regular, but after I had in-depth conversations with all members of the staff, didn't seem like the place had much else to offer.
Dress code: Casual. But if you have a green bodysuit, wear that.
Los Pollos Hermanos – 4 stars
**For more Albuquerque restaurant reviews, check out my profile!**
**Also, an update: the YouTube page is COMING! So sorry to keep you waiting, but it'll be worth it.
**Also also, want to thank all my fans. Don't know where I'd be without you guys (as in literally not sure where in the desert my body would be buried).**
Now the review: Took FOREVER to find a parking place. We had to circle twice! There were like five dudes just sitting out there in their cars, taking up space. Like come on, people — who are you waiting for?
Inside, vibe was low-key—lots of middle-aged men just focusing on their food. No line at the counter, which was a nice surprise. I got the Santa Fe Burrito and was really impressed—good potato ratio w/ just enough rice and beans. One bite I bit into a blue grain of salt or something, but in the long run I'd actually say it paired well with the salsa. Didn't try my mom's Quesadilla (am avoiding dairy this week), but she told me it was seriously addictive.
Apparently this branch is under new management—keep it up, boys!
**Add me on kik: NuMeXiCoCo92
Monk's Café – 4 stars
Tuna's good, pie's good — overall, place is pretty good, but be sure to double-check your receipt. Never had a problem myself, but the other day friend tells me that the blonde waitress charges him for a pat of butter. Not like he asks for one, not like he grabs anything fancy — just one of the ones with the paper on top, the kind that could easily be margarine and no one would have a clue. But the waitress doesn't just charge him a penny, or even a dime — she puts the guy down for 50 freakin cents! So he asks Ruthie to take it off, and bein' a dear, she does — says they just switched to a new register, sorry for the inconvenience, yada yada yada. Ruthie's a stand-up gal so I believe her. But still, you gotta wonder.
JJ's Diner – 5 stars
This is Indiana. If a place has waffles, we don't really complain.

Honda cars and Sport Utility Vehicles, SUVs are the most sought after automobiles by armed robbers in Lagos State and its environs.
According to data obtained from the Lagos State Police Command headquarters, Ikeja, Lagos State, southwest Nigeria, armed robbers operating in Lagos and its environs snatched a total of 141 Honda cars from January to November this year, compared to other models that were reported stolen during the same period.
P.M.NEWS gathered that the stolen vehicles were dominated by Honda's End of Discussion model and SUVs, among others. After Honda, Toyota Camry Saloon cars are next with 110 stolen. Nissan models numbering 75 were stolen during the period. 35 Toyota Siennas were stolen, just as 23 Kia cars got stolen. Other car brands stolen totalled 477.
P.M.NEWS investigations revealed that in May alone, 21 Toyota Camry cars, 16 Honda cars, 11 Nissan, three Toyota Sienna, one Kia and 71 other models were reported stolen in Lagos state.
January recorded the lowest number of stolen vehicles with 10 Honda, Two Toyota Camry, two Toyota Sienna, Six Kia, Two Nissan and 17 other models lost to robbers. After Honda and Toyota Camry, the most sought after by armed robbers are Nissan brands like Quest, SUV, Murano and Primera.

*UPDATE Employee: Nationwide ACS Scam 2004-2013
I was hired for a job in Medford, OR to install a DSL Modem. I was promissed $35 an hour plus $20 for travel.
When I arrived onsite I had to check in with 3 differant places, then did the work, then had to check out with 3 differant places and fill out 3 differant check out forms; totaling 3 hours, 140 miles, and 1 DSL filter.
I waited 3 weeks and still didn't recive a check, so I emailed the owner Derrick he said it would take up to a month. I waited 2 more weeks and called he said he was not in accounting and I would have to contact accounting. So I tried to contact someone else with the company with no responce from any email addresses. Then I called there 800 number and only got voicemail until I pushed 1 for a service call and it forwarded to Derrick's cell phone. He said he would look into it.
After another 2 weeks, I called and emailed back and he said it would go out this week.
After another week, I called back and threatened to call my lawyer if I didn't recive my check in 48 hours, then I recived a check for $60 after 3 days.
So after spending 3 hours onsite dealing with there bull, I had to spend hours of my life typing emails and making phone calls for $60 which almost covers the gas I used and the overage from being on my cell phone for so long to check in and out.

#1 UPDATE Employee
Nationwide ACS Scam 2004-2013
AUTHOR: iOSGenius - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Thursday, January 17, 2013POSTED: Thursday, January 17, 2013
i have worked with Nationwide ACS for over 2 years and there was alot of work to be done, yes mind you i had to wait for a month for pay and I was paided in a month did not like it - but unemployed i could not really complain as much.
When i first started out did have issues getting paided and Derrick would tell me i had the wrong department and will transfer and then transfer over and over again.
Finally i got in touch with accounting (Sandy White) was the person and she made sure I was paided each and every time. I called her cell phone number and was paided each time with no issues. Then I left and obtained a full time with another company, but then I was laided off again after a year.
Called Sandy for work and informed me she has left the company for personal reasons though we keep in touch, she has informed me to watch out with ACS as management has changed their ways.
So i reapplied with ACS and ready to work, out a few clients about 15-20 clients in a month, and to my surprise they did not pay me and later waited and did not pay me. They said if i work more hours and my availability was more open i could receive pay faster. So i went with their thoughts and did that and was working alot as a full time job would be and my surprise again that i did not get paided.
So of course i kept tracked of all hours and sites and copies of signatures and everything clients information for proof. And brought this up with derrick and transfer me to accounting and send them of copies via fed ex for verification (of course i still kept a copy).
Then accounting has received it and called and said it was received by them, and said the envelope was damaged and open as their was nothing in it. Called fedex and contacted the driver and said the package was impeccable seal and not damaged.
Now i have a problem with Nationwide ACS scamming me and they still charge their clients what ever their fee is. So i looked into it further and found that Nationwide ACS charged them a yearly fee on some server items, and other small stuff as windows transfer or hard drive replacement, etc was a fee of $120 and pay me only 30 bucks with travel not much.
So as i kepted all their clients I have supported and provided them my own contract as I or my employee will provide support and made my business. So they screwed me in my pay and yes i invite a lawyer to investigate and found many others in the hundreds complaining of this company not paying the consultants. Had a letter written to them and in a week my lawyer received the money of a total of $2,841 bucks - of course part of that went to my attorney but at least i was able to receive my money.
This is a lesson to learn make sure you keep all transactions receipts clients info, business cards, keep in touch with them outside of the normal channel for Nationwide ACS clients and you can help yourself in making some business or make a good contact in providing support. So in 2009 I have made business in and out with Nationwide ACS Clients and ACS is upset, but if they cancel their contract or end it with ACS then I'm offering a better deal and lower to appear and or remote in.
i Laugh still today, when i help someone out they tell me they had a contract with ACS before and did not like the service as there was a different tech each and everytime never the same and they would have to explain the issue all over again.
When i worked with ACS at first with Sandy, i was told the client wants to see me over and over again and only me instead of teaching all over again to aa different tech. So in turn they made money but i made very good contacts.
later all since 2005 they are still in business which bites and not sure, else to do in closing them down. But i have a body shop near my home and does the same as ACS and he is still in business for years. They make their money on a contract or either they own the building they work in, pay taxes at end of the year if they can bs it then win the deal they stay in business.
this is wrong but a city or state will not close their business as long as they still have contracts in motion.

Syria appeals for US aid to push Israel peace talks
Syria urged the United States on Saturday to wield its influence and help revive peace negotiations with Israel as US and Syrian officials held talks despite their fraught diplomatic relations.
"Syria wants the United States to work seriously for a resumption of the peace process with Israel at the point where it broke down," the official Ath-Thawra newspaper said.
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, whose regime faces the threat of US sanctions, said last month he wanted to restart negotiations with Israel that collapsed in acrimony four years ago.
But despite some support within his own government, Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon rebuffed the overture and instead announced plans to increase by half the Jewish population of the Golan Heights, which was seized from Syria in the 1967 Middle East war and unilaterally annexed in 1981.
"It is a government of war, not a partner for peace," charged Syrian Government newspaper Tishrin.
Previous negotiations between then Israeli Premier Ehud Barak and the late Syrian president Hafez al-Assad, Bashar's father, collapsed in acrimony in January 2000 over the fate of the strategic Golan plateau.
"Syria wants the United States to play an honest, neutral, objective and credible role... and not allow Israel to miss this opportunity, as Sharon tried to do by saying the negotiations must start from scratch," the paper said.
Under Mr Barak, Israel agreed to withdraw from most of the Golan Heights except for a narrow strip of land, an option Syria rejected.
Syria's appeal was made even though Washington has threatened Damascus with diplomatic and economic sanctions, accusing it of sponsoring terrorism and developing weapons of mass destruction.
Damascus has denied the charges, and accuses Washington of double standards and not doing enough to rein in its close ally Israel, widely regarded as the only nuclear power in the Middle East.
Despite the deterioration in relations, the first US ambassador to serve in Syria for four months presented her credentials on Saturday to Mr Assad, who wished her "success in her mission," the official SANA news agency reported.
Margaret Scobey accompanied visiting US Senator Bill Nelson to a meeting with Mr Assad where they "discussed the full range of issues relating to US-Syrian relations and regional issues."
In a first official meeting with Ms Scobey last week, Syrian Foreign Minister Faruq al-Shara highlighted the "importance of launching a positive and constructive dialogue between the two countries that would permit a better understanding of each side's positions and secure their interests".
Relations have been tense since the US-led invasion of Syria's eastern neighbour Iraq in March, with Washington accusing Damascus of helping to arm the ousted regime of Saddam Hussein and of turning a blind eye to foreign militants entering Iraq to carry out attacks on the US-led coalition.
The new US legislation threatens sanctions unless Damascus ends its alleged support for terrorism and development of chemical and biological arms as well as medium and long-range missiles.
Washington also calls on Syria to withdraw its estimated 20,000 troops from neighbouring Lebanon and for both to "enter into serious unconditional bilateral negotiations" with Israel to secure "a full and permanent peace."
Syria denies the US charges of supporting terrorism and developing weapons, and says its forces are in Lebanon under mutual agreement.

Travelling is suffering?
I was visiting one of my Danish friend I met in the kibbutz and we talked about travelling one of our common passion. He had read somewhere that somehow, travelling is suffering. It's not easy, it will change you.Maybe not a week of holiday in Hawai (but who knows?) but that's not what we were thinking of…
Hitch hiking is the prime example, it takes time, you don't know when you will get to your destination, you have to rely on others and you have to be patient and flexible. It's really much like my EVS experience.
When I started it we could say I was on the side of the road ready to catch a ride to get to my destination. But I wasn't alone I had this partner I had never met before, Helena this really awesome woman from Spain. I had just finished another hitch hiking trip in Israel so I was seeing everything behind this israeli glasses that I had forgot to remove. I was making the same sign as in Israel to stop a car but in Europe you use your thumb….We were like Jon Snow,we know nothing!
When we were trying to get a car I had something in mind for our direction. I had read in my description I would do something with students, like activities or workshops. However that description was outdated but I still wanted to go there. My friend Helena kept telling me I should try another way but I woudn't listen, so it was very difficult to get a ride it's like going to a closed road…not gonna work!
Nobody cares for hitchikers here? So what!
So people would not stop, I felt nobody cares here, why they don't talk to me why is it so hard to socialise, what is wrong with THEM?
But finally after a month of struggle and not understanding anything on my side of the road some help came up. I had this EVS training in october and the two amazing trainers I met there, Anja and Tobias, gave us a good hand, driving us much further down our way and helping me to understand that the road down there was closed so I could try something else.
I agreed with Helena it was better to be a bit flexible but still all these people were terrible to socialise with. I wasn't so good myself anymore. Imagine a hitch hiker sitting down on the road that can't even stand up to get a ride, nobody will stop!
So after complaining
going on strike and so one something we French really master, I stand up on my feet, I tried to smile and I also used my thumb to get a car and little by little we would get some ride down the road. When you hitch hike you have different cases, either nobody goes all the way to your place which is often therefore you will take a lot of small ride or you are lucky and someone take you almost all the way down. Our situation was more like the first one.
However we also got better, we were talking with our drivers, taking their advice about how to get further down. So we learnt. For example you don't socialise the same way in Denmark than in France or in a kibbutz with a bunch of young volunteers. You need to adapt, to be open and really patient. It's as if Danes are like ice cubes but they don't melt in the sun, or very very slow. Therefore it will take you time to break the ice! Being too direct, something that could work in Israel quite well, will never do there.
I had never struggle making new relation abroad so I had to change a lot, it was good I realised all the annoying I would do (I observed how my mom was when she was mad, well I was doing the same :) ) and try to change but i wrote about that before…
Then I was still unhappy about this road close down there because it's something I really wanted to do. However talking with colleagues I realised that some other way would be nice to explore. I was there so why not take a chance right? That's how helena and I started the blog. I am really happy about it and Ana the new volunteer is keeping it going! It's right here and it's lovely!
We also decided to write a sign with some direction we would like to go. This way we started to help on the shows that the school was doing, with lights, recording, editing.I tried some ways I have never been before. I really improved my editing, I discovered color grading and had the chance to develop photography, that I really love now.
Another path
Then you become more daring. With Helena we thought we could try some different ways and meet further down. I started to do some more personal projects, especially related to photography.
Finally at the end we met again, we had learnt a lot on our journey together, through a lot of nice and friendly people among the crowd that woudln't stop. They helped us, we had great time with them and all of them gave us something that we keep for our next trip. It was indeed difficult, it took time, sometimes we would stand under the rain for an hour and another would get a long ride under the sun with very nice Danes. We also learnt the social cues, to use our thumb, learn some Danish to not get lost, be flexible, not judge hastily especially if you don't want to be judge.
When you hitch hike you do something very different, not some many do it or approve of it so you start with this difference. Well being in a foreign country is very much the same, I was different the day I step a foot in Denmark, but I had forgotten that in Israel because i was different together with 40 different people from abroad! The trick is to keep this difference and use it as a strength, not be scared ,go for it anyway.
Now Helena is in Spain, I am still on the Danish road. I don't know where I am going but where I am right now is very nice, with really good people that are open and take the time to show me around. Maybe they will start to hitch hike themselves somedays and then I will have given something to them in return :)

Cape Town - A man appeared briefly in the Athlone Magistrate's Court for allegedly stabbing his 2-year-old niece to death and hiding her body under his bed, it was reported on Tuesday.The Cape Times reported that Sydwell Mzimkhulu, 38, appeared briefly on Monday and was told to return to court next Monday.The postponement was to allow his lawyer to familiarise herself with his bail information.Asanele Mzimkhulu was left in the care of her 12-year-old sister while their mother attended a funeral on Saturday afternoon.The uncle allegedly sent the older sister to the shop while Asanele was sleeping.When the sister returned, her uncle and sister were missing.They eventually forced open the uncle's shack door and found Asanele's body wrapped in a blanket under the bed.A blood-stained knife was also found in the shack.
What's wrong with these people, do they kill children for recreation???
can some one please explain why black males do this?
Her poor sister has to live with the trauma. wtf man? I can't even say that I hope he gets punished to the full extent of the law, that wouldn't even be good enough. Set him free.. the Kangaroo courts in Cape Town locations have no sympathy for kiddie-killers!
Poor little girl... that guy must be a complete loon.
@Den this is not about being black, its crime and it can happen to anyone. Few months ago Johan Kotze appeared before court for allegedly masterminding his estrange wife rape and killing his step son. You cant blame that to white males because not all of them are like that. Well i thought that was pure crime, cruelty and evil.
Another of the savage morons! How on earth anyone can do something like this is quite unbelievable. Killing anything or anyone is just repulsive but imagine doing this to a 2 year old child!!!!! Bring back the death penalty or better still give him back to the community, after all he gave up his own rights when he took her innocent little life.
