Sedalia Police and Pettis County Sheriff's Reports: Morning of November 28, 2012
The following Sedalia Police and Pettis County Sheriff's reports are from the morning of Wednesday, Nov. 28, 2012.
Several Thefts Reported to Sedalia Police
A woman in the 1500 Block of South Harrison reported to Sedalia Police that a 1996 Escort wagon was stolen from the driveway of their residence between Nov. 24 and 26.
A woman in the 1100 Block of West 14th reported to Sedalia Police that two dogs were stolen from her yard between 10 a.m. on Nov. 26 and 6 p.m. on Nov. 27 by two people she routinely sees walking in the area. The two dogs were described as one being male and the other female and were beagle-mix puppies.
Yesterday (Nov. 27), Sedalia Police went to The Pet Shop at 210 West Main as a woman reported that $40 was missing from her purse. A witness observed a suspect standing around the purse and when the witness confronted the suspect about stealing, the suspect concealed something in her pants and left the store.
Property Damage Reported to Pettis County Sheriff's Office
A man in the 26000 Block of Green Road reported to the Pettis County Prosecutors Office that a neighbor's cattle repeatedly come onto his property and caused damage. The incident is under investigation by the Pettis County Sheriff's Office.
Sedalia Police Make Several Arrests
Sedalia Police arrested Daniel Brown for failure to appear, bond set at $392 cash.

As the most important festival in the Christian festival, Easter is generally treated as a more serious affair than Christmas. Rather than unmitigated joy, it is a time for reflection, for contemplation of deeper spiritual matters. It is also a time for the most smug and sanctimonious piffle you are likely to hear broadcast on public airwaves. I can't remember hearing a more self-righteous collection of judgements masquerading as moral guidance as came out of the broadcast media over the four day weekend.
Kicking off on Good Friday's "Thought for the Day" on Radio 4, Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor, Archbishop of Westminster, takes a swipe at the faithless for their arrogance. What puzzles the bish, apparently, is "the absolute certainty of their conviction which does not allow for any doubt ...the believers I know have a much humbler attitude".
It's a reworking of a very familiar claim - the last resort of someone who has run out of ideas. To seek an explanation of the complexities and mysteries of the world around based upon only what we can prove, in my humble opinion, is, well, pretty humble. To say: "I can explain it all - God made it" is surely the most arrogant position of all. But it saves having to expend too many grey cells.
Next up the leader of the Scottish Catholic Church, Cardinal Keith O'Brien, used his Easter sermon to pile into the debate on the proposed embryology bill as a "monstrous attack on human rights, human dignity and human life". He forgot to add something about the "human dignity" of those who live with Parkinson's and Alzheimer's who might face the prospect of a cure through such research, but I'm sure that was just an oversight.
He concluded that it would allow experiments of "Frankenstein proportion." Which was ironic, really - I don't think any of the scientists I have read on the subject have mentioned using the bill to turn the dead into the living, as Dr Frankenstein attempted. They leave that sort of thing to the church every Easter.
Finally, even the non-conformists felt a need to get in on the act, when faced with the prospect of bookmakers opening on Good Friday for the first time. A spokesman for the Methodist Church said they would prefer people to think about the day's religious significance rather than placing bets. In logical terms that's a false opposition, surely? I don't believe that one activity excludes the other.
In fact I would go further and say that placing a bet can be part of contemplating the wonder of the universe and complexity of life. If you care to really think about the chances of life existing at all on earth, and marvel at the process through which we came to be, I reckon a £10 punt on a 50-1 outsider might put things in perspective. It would certainly seem like short odds, all other things considered.

Happy New Year from Faith Lutheran Church in Eldorado.
New Year's resolutions have been a tradition as long as I can remember. Many of them involve some type of self-improvement, such as losing weight, reducing credit card debt, or stopping smoking. All good resolutions, though it seems that keeping them is the biggest challenge.
St. Paul gives us some resolutions which we all should consider. He writes in Colossians 3:12-15: "Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, (13) bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. (14) And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. (15) And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful." (ESV)
Note that these resolutions are not just centered on oneself but have direct impact on our neighbors. Compassion, kindness, meekness, patience, bearing with one another's burdens, forgiving, thankfulness, peace that rules the heart, and love ... all affects our neighbor. These resolutions would be of little use for a hermit who shuns his neighborhood. Imagine if the billions of people who inhabit our planet would seriously make these their New Year's resolutions.
In Scripture we find examples of those who have resolved to live this way. I think of the Old Testament, where Joseph who was sold into slavery and was falsely imprisoned, yet he still maintained a meekness, bore other burdens and forgave those who wronged him. He in kindness and patience waited on God to deliver him, which the Lord did in His own time.
Many might say, "These are impossible resolutions to meet, we have a hard-enough time losing weight." Others, who do not set resolutions, have suffered failure in years past so they forgo another failure with another New Year's resolution.
To fulfill these resolutions, we look to the Spirit to strengthen us to go forward in this challenge. When we fail in keeping them, we look to the Babe of Bethlehem who forgives our sins and failures and restores us as His own to again go forward.
These resolutions are not just New Year's resolutions, they are a new you. From the time of your baptism God has been creating this newness in you that resolves to put on a life of love. For St. Paul writes in Romans 6:4: "We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life." (ESV)
If you have made a resolution that's good, work to keep it, but add the above resolutions to your list, relying on God to walk in this newness of life. Blessings on the 10th Day of Christmas.

Former Tampa Federation CEO, Anne Thal
Anne Elise Thal, a woman who wore a variety of hats in the community, including CEO of the Tampa Jewish Federation in the early 2000s, died on Jan. 27.
Thal, 71, of Tampa, had a career as a clinical therapist, ran various social service agencies as well as served the Jewish community in several capacities.
Born in 1945, she was as a graduate of the University of Chicago, receiving her B.A. in Human Development and a M.A. from the university's School of Social Service Administration. She trained extensively with Dr. Elizabeth Kubler-Ross, a founding pioneer in the field of dying and bereavement.
After moving to Tampa, she founded the Suicide and Crisis Center of Hillsborough County and ran the Hillsborough County Crisis Center. She served as President/CEO of LifePath Hospice from 1987 through 1998, growing it from an all-volunteer organization to one of the largest freestanding hospices. She also maintained her own clinical practice for more than 30 years.
In the Jewish community, she served as executive director of what is now Tampa Jewish Family Services (TJFS) in the 1970s to early 1980s and during her tenure the agency helped 80 Soviet Jewish families emigrate to the Tampa Bay area, according to longtime friend Paula Zielonka.
Izabell Dobrov, whose Soviet Jewish family was the first that Thal's agency helped resettle in Tampa, remembers her fondly: "From the time my family and I arrived from Odessa in 1976, Anne was always there whenever any problem arose. She, herself, would work on solving the problem whether finding us English language classes or work for Viktor and me. She was always there to help."
"While working with Anne on Tampa Jewish Social Services (now TJFS) in the 1970s, I learned what a bright, caring, creative, yet organized person she was," Zielonka said.
From 2000 to 2004, Thal served as the executive director and CEO of the Tampa Jewish Federation.
One of Thal's lifelong passions was theater. During college, Thal and friends formed a professional theater company and she became a member of Actors Equity. In Tampa, she was a member of the Playmakers Theatre Company.
She was an adjunct professor and field work supervisor for the University of Chicago and University of South Florida, and was active on many boards and organizations.
Survivors include her sister, Julie, and brother, Daniel. The family suggests memorials to Planned Parenthood or Equality Florida. (Segal Funeral Home, Beth David Chapel).

KIMBALL – Spring is a busy time of year on the ranch. There are cows to be calved out and fences to be mended following the ravages of winter ice, snow and wind. Cows continue to need supplemental feed. Grass has to be scouted and the grazing plan scrutinized and adjusted.
This spring there is an additional major chore, a continuation of a job which began back in the fall. A family member has been suffering from a significant illness and coordinating and assisting with care takes a great deal of time and effort. I'm not complaining, you understand, just stating facts. It's life and it's what you do.
Just to make things interesting, I came down with strep throat a couple of weeks ago. What I thought was just a cold and sore throat landed me in the emergency room for a round of antibiotics and IV rehydration. The Doc wanted to keep me in the hospital but that wasn't really an option, given my other responsibilities. We negotiated, and he gave in but provided stern warnings.
"When you're taking care of someone else," he said, "you have to take care of yourself, too."
And he's completely correct. Fortunately, I've got a background in clinical and emergency medicine and I really am pretty good at taking care of myself.
At my age – which is breathtakingly close to 60 – things are harder than they once were and there's not as much reserve energy in the tank. But my active lifestyle and dedication to hiking and eating reasonably well keeps me considerably more fit than many of my peers. A very real benefit of being fit and healthy is my ability to endure and bounce back from illness. So there's that.
On Monday I got in a nice workout while scouting grass and surveying a new shooting range. It was a tough, day-long slog and I was still feeling the lingering effects of recent illness. Feeling noticeably weak and tired can suck the joy right out of physical labor and exertion. But Monday was also a gem of a gorgeous spring day and nature provided abundant joy to make up for it.
My grass scouting efforts turned up a lot of good news. The prairie ecosystem is indeed waking up, and the cool-season grasses are coming right along. On the parcel where I'm building the shooting range, I was very pleased to see how aggressively green needlegrass and western wheatgrass are encroaching into the smooth brome planted under a previous owner's CRP contract.
It's been a joy to watch nature reclaim this grassland which, as far as I'm concerned, should never have been farmed. This is mixed shortgrass country, and warm season grasses are making even more inroads than cool season. This summer, if we don't dry out too much, buffalo grass and blue and sideoats grama will continue to push brome grass aside. If I'm fortunate, I'll be around long enough to see the brome disappear entirely.
Please don't misunderstand my point here – there's nothing wrong with smooth brome grass. In this instance, in fact, there's been everything right with brome grass. It grew well, anchoring and stabilizing soil. Over the years it provided (and continues to provide) abundant forage (especially in the spring) for cattle, and this particular parcel is an excellent calving ground. No, this stand of brome has been a near-perfect bandage. Now native prairie is well along in healing itself and the bandage is sloughing off. It's served its purpose and is no longer needed.
As for the shooting range, I laid out and surveyed a 400-yard known-distance range on Monday. Lots of hiking back and forth, pulling tape measures, setting out markers, selecting shooting locations and backstop berms, etc. Then I hiked around and tentatively identified six or seven other locations for shooting stages. All in all, a very good workout.
At the end of the day my cool fitness watch calculated the sum of my steps and pegged the total distance hiked at just over 10 miles. Not too bad for a creaky fellow of my vintage, particularly one recovering from illness. Guess I've got a bit of juice left in the tank.
It was good to blow the cobs out.

Town vs. Konick update
As the Rappahannock News went to press Wednesday, lawyers for the town of Washington and the Inn at Little Washington were still negotiating a possible settlement with attorney David Konick, whose lawsuit challenging the town's and Inn's actions in a 2013 "Town Beautification" project has stalled in circuit court — although even the stalled suit could be revived today, June 18 being the court-ordained deadline for Konick to amend his original petition.

Gov. Terry McAuliffe's office announced Wednesday that Rappahannock County had won a $20,000 planning grant through the governor's Agriculture and Forestry Industries Development (AFID) Fund to help the county (and Fauquier and Culpeper counties, who are partners in the project) study the feasibility of a "woody biomass aggregation facility" on the site of the former landfill at Rappahannock's Amissville recycling and trash collection center.
Meanwhile, the Fauquier Health Foundation has given its largest grant of the spring cycle to Rappahannock at Home, a $39,800 planning grant to study the feasibility of a continuing "village" program, which coordinates business and volunteer services that allow senior citizens to remain in place — at home — as they age.

From: Steven R. Lo Vullo (email@example.com)
Date: Sat May 06 2000 - 22:47:35 EDT
Hi B-Greekers,
What many people seem to miss when discussing this passage is that the theme
of revenge/wrath is carried into chapter 13. I think the chapter division in
this case prevents people from making the connection between what Paul
discusses at the end of chapter 12, and the continuation of that theme in
chapter 13.
In 12:19 Paul says, MH hEAUTOUS EKDIKOUNTES...ALLA DOTE TOPON THi ORGHi,
GEGRAPTAI GAR: EMOI EKDIKHSIS.... This sets the stage for Paul's discussion
of the role of civil authority in meting out vengeance in God's behalf. The
verbal parallels are unmistakable. Note the words EKDIKEW, ORGHi, and
EKDIKHSIS in 12:19, compared with EKDIKOS and ORGHN in 13:4 and ORGHN again
in 13:5. Here Paul says that the civil authority that exists does so as a
DIAKONOS (servant) of God, an EKDIKOS (avenger; cf. EKDIKEW and EKDIKHSIS in
12:19) to execute ORGHN (wrath; cf. ORGHi in 12:19) on evildoers (TWi TO
KAKON PRASSONTI; cf. 12:17, 21). Paul's point in all this (though obviously
not his only point) is that Christians should not take their own revenge,
but should yield (DOTE TOPON) to God, trusting that he will take appropriate
action by dealing out vengeful wrath to the wicked. He goes on in chapter 13
to explain further that one of the ways God deals out wrath to the wicked is
by the agency of civil servants whom he in his providence has authorized to
wreak vengeance on evildoers. The fact that this passage follows on the
heels of the comments made at the end of chapter 12 and illustrates one of
the ways God executes wrath on evildoers suggests very strongly that what is
in view in 12:19 is not the withholding of wrath on the part of Christians
(although that is obviously true), but the execution of wrath God deals out
in avenging his people.
Further evidence for this view can be found in similar commands found in the
book of Sirach. In 19:17 the writer says, "Question your neighbor before you
threaten him, and defer (DOS TOPON) to the Law of the Most High." Here the
idea seems to be much the same as that of Rom 12:19: Don't take matters into
your own hands, but defer to God and his duly instituted authority for
redress." In 38:12 we read, "And give place (DOS TOPON) to the physician,
for the Lord created him." Here again the idea seems to be to yield to those
whom the Lord by his providence has established to take care of certain
maladies. The first example is obviously closer to the matter of Rom 12:19,
but the second carries much the same idea, which is yielding to other
authorities for a solution to the problem, rather than taking matters into
one's own hands. The idea is not to acquiesce to the abuse or malady
(although for a Christian this may be necessary at times with regard to
persecution), but to yield to God and those established by him for redress
of the problem.

Latavius Murray was born on January 18, 1990 in Orlando, Florida. Shortly after his 3rd birthday he moved to upstate New York and settled into a quiet town south of Syracuse called Nedrow. With a population of just over 2,000, Latavius embraced the tight bonds formed in small town America. Attending Onondaga Central High School, he was a two-sport athlete, leading the Tigers in football and basketball. His Senior year he rushed for 2,194 yards and 28 TD's, while also recording 78 tackles, 3 forced fumbles and 2 interceptions on defense. That year he was named the 2007 Gatorade Football Player of the Year in the state of New York. Regarded as a 3-star recruit and the 5th best prospect in New York, Latavius chose to attend The University of Central Florida.
At Central Florida, Latavius played in 8 games as a true freshman, registering 132 yards and 3 touchdowns. After tearing his ACL in the offseason, he took a redshirt year in 2009. 2010 proved to be his breakout year, playing in all 14 games and earning MVP honors in both the Conference USA Championship Game and the AutoZone Liberty Bowl. During his Junior year in 2011, he played in all 12 games. His best game came up against The University of Texas at El Paso, where he rushed for 233 yards on 21 attempts with 2 touchdowns rushing, while catching 2 passes for 24 yards and 1 touchdown. During his Senior year, he rushed for 1,106 yards on 198 attempts and 15 touchdowns, while catching 27 passes for 231 yards and 4 touchdowns. This earned him an All C-USA first team selection. His UCF career finished with 2,424 yards, 37 touchdowns rushing and 50 receptions for 524 yards and 6 touchdowns. Latavius was the 1st player in UCF history to record a rushing touchdown in 9 straight games and 2nd in UCF history in overall touchdowns (44), 8th in attempts (453), 6th in yards (2,424) and 3rd in rushing touchdowns (37).
Latavius was impressive at Central Florida's Pro Day. The Oakland Raiders selected him in the 6th round of the 2013 NFL Draft (181st overall). His rookie season was unfortunately cut short due to an ankle injury in August 2013. In the 2014 season, Latavius got back on the field and made his first career touchdown against the Kansas City Chiefs. He finished that game with 112 yards rushing on 4 carries, becoming the first player in NFL history to gain at least 110 yards rushing on 5 or fewer carries. Latavius entered the 2015 season as the Raiders starting running back. In week 3, he rushed for a career-best 139 yards on 26 carries and a touchdown in a win over the Browns. In 2016, Latavius played in 14 games, rushed for 788 yards and scored a career high 12 touchdowns. On March 16, 2017, Latavius signed a new three-year contract with the Minnesota Vikings.

3931 Peachtree Street
Atlanta, GA 30319
Phone: +1 404 233 2794
By appointment only.
A Brief History:
The Solomon Goodwin House sits on
over an acre of trees and lawn right on Peachtree Road in
Brookhaven. It is the remains of a 600 acre farm owned by Solomon
Goodwin in the 1830s. The current owners are his
great-great-great-great-granddaughters, who claim if you listen
carefully, the house can tell stories about the changes it has seen
since Peachtree Road was just a wagon trail.
The homestead first became known for hospitality to travelers heading to Marthasville, renamed Atlanta. Later generations fed Civil War refugees and Great Depression poor.
In what was once Creek Indian land,
the area's first white settler was Harris Goodwin, a South
Carolinian who homesteaded a tract on both sides of what is now
Peachtree Road in the early 1830s. Harris Goodwin later brought his
father, Solomon, to the area. The Goodwin home and a small graveyard
in which they are buried survive at 3931 Peachtree Road near the
intersection of North Druid Hills Road.
The original log cabin on the Echota Indian Trail was expanded in the 1830s and 1840s into the present home. In 1864, it was a landmark for Federal troops closing in on Atlanta during the Civil War. Goodwin descendants still own the property. The home is the oldest existant house in DeKalb County.
Goodwin House is managed and maintained by Lynda Martin Rule and previously by her father Albert Lynn Martin, Jr.

Mistresses Athena & Joanna both look stunning wearing skirts and lacquer shoes with 14cm heels - but these heels will hurt their slave a lot! The girls first take turns stepping on the slave's naked chest and the slave screams in pain when his ribs are compressed under the hard soles and the sharp heels dig deep into his soft weak belly - but all of that doesn't help him. In the end they even trample him together and crush him under their combined weight.
Mistress Mara is a very demanding dominating mistress that thinks her slave is a real fucking loser. She is going to take off her high heels and walk on his body. She is going to use all of her weight and walk on her slave's chest and on his face. She feels so good when she tramples her lame slave and humiliates him too. He is in so much pain.
Miss Nikki and Miss Vikki invite their slave tonight. He has to lie down on the floor in the kitchen and the two girls trample him alternately. They jump on his chest and it really hurts him. Nikki's boyfriend enters the room and he likes what he sees. He kisses Nikki while she is standing on her slave. That's so hot!
Goddess No really loves to push her slaves to the limit. She orders this poor guy to lie down next to the kitchen countertop and then steps on his head - wearing high heels! The hard soles and sharp heels hurt the slave badly - but his mistress doesn't even care. She's busy texting with a friend while she slowly crushes his head under her shoes and her full weight!
Tonight Hera tramples her slave. He has to lie down on the floor naked and Hera humiliates him violently. She wears her very sexy boots with the extreme sharp and pointed heel. She tramples his back and his ass. But that is not enough for her, she wants to torture him further and starts to trample his balls. He screams in pain, but Hera has no sympathy with such useless losers.
Princess Chanel orders her slave to lie down next to her shoe cabinet - and then jumps on his chest immediately. She's only wearing sneakers today but she's going to give him a hard time anyway! She walks all over his chest and then steps on his head with both feet and her full weight. In the end she even makes him lick the dirty soles of her shoes while standing on his chest.
Annabell is a pretty mistress that loves to walk on her slaves with all of her weight. She puts on her hardcore black boots and stands on her slave, but then she takes off her boots and uses her bare dirty feet to stand on the slave's check and even his face. Annabell is having a great time smashing and crushing her pathetic loser slave on the ground.
Today it is Kylee's first clip of trampling and Candice decided to help her, because she is really nervous! The slave lies on the floor under a carpet. Kylee wears a blindfold and she should try to walk across the carpet. Of course, Candice holds her by the hand, because she does not see anything. Candice guides her across the carpet an is glad that everything went so well.
This slave is so annoying! He laughs at Kayla and makes a mockery of her whatever she does. So she decides to punish him! She brings him down on the ground and starts to walk on his chest. She grabbed a pair of high heels to pierce him and increase the pain! He believes it is wise to still laugh so she walks ALL over him! His head will be trampled too. Next time he will not laugh at her again...!
July is a very strong willed mistress with a huge love for trampling and jumping on her slave. She thinks her slave deserves punishment and humiliation, so what better way to get that goal achieved than to jump up and down on his body till he is in real pain. She will then remove her very brutal boots and use her bare feet to smash his body.

Bartonella vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii and Bartonella henselae bacteremia in a father and daughter with neurological disease

Bartonella vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii is an important, emerging, intravascular bacterial pathogen that has been recently isolated from immunocompetent patients with endocarditis, arthritis, neurological disease and vasoproliferative neoplasia. Vector transmission is suspected among dogs and wild canines, which are the primary reservoir hosts. This investigation was initiated to determine if pets and family members were infected with one or more Bartonella species.
PCR and enrichment blood culture in Bartonella alpha Proteobacteria growth medium (BAPGM) was used to determine infection status. Antibody titers to B. vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii genotypes I-III and B. henselae were determined using a previously described indirect fluorescent antibody test. Two patients were tested sequentially for over a year to assess the response to antibiotic treatment.
Intravascular infection with B. vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii genotype II and Bartonella henselae (Houston 1 strain) were confirmed in a veterinarian and his daughter by enrichment blood culture, followed by PCR and DNA sequencing. Symptoms included progressive weight loss, muscle weakness, lack of coordination (the father) and headaches, muscle pain and insomnia (the daughter). B. vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii genotype II was also sequenced from a cerebrospinal fluid BAPGM enrichment culture and from a periodontal swab sample. After repeated courses of antibiotics, post-treatment blood cultures were negative, there was a decremental decrease in antibody titers to non-detectable levels and symptoms resolved in both patients.
B. vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii and B. henselae are zoonotic pathogens that can be isolated from the blood of immunocompetent family members with arthralgias, fatigue and neurological symptoms. Therapeutic elimination of Bartonella spp. infections can be challenging, and follow-up testing is recommended. An increasing number of arthropod vectors, including biting flies, fleas, keds, lice, sandflies and ticks have been confirmed or are suspected as the primary mode of transmission of Bartonella species among animal populations and may also pose a risk to human beings.

When a genus of bacteria is discovered or, in the case of Bartonella, rediscovered; numerous clinical, microbiological and pathological concepts related to disease causation and microbial pathogenesis are sequentially redefined. Subsequently, the medical relevance of the genus undergoes continued maturation; as knowledge of the organism, the host immune response, diagnostic test sensitivity and specificity, treatment efficacy and epidemiology expand. Since the early 1990s, this paradigm of discovery and ongoing biological and medical redefinition has clearly been applicable to the genus Bartonella. Prior to 1990, only two pathogenic Bartonella species, B. bacilliformis and B. quintana, were known to exist. Since 1990, greater than 22 Bartonella species have been described, of which at least half have been implicated or confirmed as human pathogens [1, 2].
Bartonella vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii was initially isolated from a dog with endocarditis in 1993 [3]. Subsequently, four genotypes of B. vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii were described, based upon analysis of blood samples from coyotes, dogs and foxes [4]. To date, genotype II has been the most frequently isolated genotype sequenced from dog and human blood samples [5–8]. Previously, B. vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii genotype II was documented in a healthy dog on 8 of 10 culture attempts spanning a 16-month period, thereby supporting the potential for persistent intravascular infection in pet dogs [9]. Although tick transmission of B. vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii has been suggested, the mode(s) of transmission among canines has not been determined [10]. In contrast to the canine reservoir for B. vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii, domestic and wild felids represent the primary reservoir in nature for Bartonella henselae, an organism transmitted among cats by fleas (Ctenocephalides felis); a factor that contributes to a worldwide distribution for this Bartonella sp. [1, 2]. Similar to dogs, outwardly healthy cats can remain bacteremic with B. henselae for months to years [11, 12]. However, despite what seems to be exceptional evolutionary adaptation of B. vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii in canines and B. henselae in felines, both of these two bacterial species can be pathogenic in both cats and dogs.
In this study, intravascular infection with B. vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii genotype II and B. henselae were foundin a veterinarian and his daughter. The father presented with progressive weight loss, muscle weakness and lack of coordination; his daughter had developed headaches, muscle pain and insomnia. Both individuals were being evaluated by a neurologist at the time of initial testing for evidence of Bartonella infection. Multiple courses of antibiotics were administered before the patients' clinical status improved and before microbiological, molecular and serological evidence of infection diminished or was negative.
Patients, pets and methods
In October, 2007, the primary author was contacted by the father of a family residing in North Carolina, who requested Bartonella testing as a component of an IRB approved study (North Carolina State University Institutional Review Board, IRB#s 4925-03 and 164-08-05). For all family members and pets (Institutional Animal Care and Use Protocol 07-014-0) tested in this study, a previously described approach that combines PCR detection of Bartonella spp. DNA and enrichment culture of blood and serum samples in Bartonella alpha Proteobacteria growth medium (BAPGM) was used [8]. The three part BAPGM diagnostic platform incorporates PCR amplification of Bartonella spp. following direct DNA extraction from patient blood and serum samples, PCR amplification following enrichment culture in BAPGM for 7 to 14 days, and PCR from isolates obtained following BAPGM subculture inoculation onto trypticase soy agar with 10% rabbit blood. Agar plates are incubated for 4 weeks and checked weekly for evidence of bacterial growth. To assess for potential laboratory contamination, an un-inoculated BAPGM culture flask was processed simultaneously and in an identical manner with each batch of patient blood and serum samples tested. Specifically, while establishing cultures using a batch of samples in the biosafety hood, the top was removed from the BAPGM un-inoculated control flask until all patient samples had been processed. Methods used for testing sample cultures, including DNA extraction, PCR amplification targeting the Bartonella 16S-23S intergenic spacer region (ITS), and sequencing procedures were performed using previously described methods [5–8]. Following the standard operating procedures in the Intracellular Pathogens Research Laboratory, sample preparation including BAPGM cultures and agar plate sub-inoculation, DNA extraction, PCR preparation and PCR amplification and analysis were performed in separate laboratory rooms to avoid culture as well as DNA contamination. In addition, negative and positive Bartonella DNA test control samples, consisting of bacteria-free blood DNA and DNA spiked with B. henselae genomic DNA at 0.5 genome copies per microliter, respectively, were used for each batch of DNA tested. For all results reported in this study, PCR products consistent in size with a Bartonella spp. (400-600 bp amplicon size) were sequenced to confirm the species and ITS strain. Sequences were aligned and compared with GenBank sequences using AlignX software (Vector NTI Suite 6.0, InforMax, Inc.).
Serology was performed using modifications of a previously described indirect fluorescent antibody test [13]. Bartonella vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii and B. henselae antibodies were determined following traditional immunofluorescence antibody assay (IFA) practices with fluorescein conjugated goat anti-human IgG. Bartonella vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii genotypes I, II and III and B. henselae (Houston I strain) were passed from agar grown cultures of each organism into DH82 (a continuous canine histiocytic cell line) cultures to obtain antigens that would seemingly be expressed by an intracellular bacteria localized to erythrocytes or endothelial cells within the vasculature. Heavily infected cell cultures were spotted onto 30-well Teflon coated slides (Cel-Line/Thermo Scientific), air dried, acetone fixed and stored frozen. Serum samples were diluted in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) solution containing normal goat serum, Tween-20 and powdered nonfat dry milk to block non-specific antigen binding sites. Patient sera were screened at dilutions of 1:16 to 1:64. All sera that remained reactive at a titer of 1:64 were further tested with twofold dilutions out to a final dilution of 1:8192.
The father was a 50-year-old veterinarian whose symptoms began in 2006 with arthralgias and fatigue, which became progressively severe over ensuing 18 months. He described pain and stiffness of the joints, muscles, and neck that were most severe in the morning but improved throughout the day. He did not have fevers, but he suffered from profound fatigue. He had also experienced an 80-pound weight loss, though this was partially intentional. Beginning in September 2007, and of greatest concern to the patient, was progressive difficulty maintaining his balance while standing or ambulating. His history was notable for extensive occupational and domestic animal exposure. International travel was minimal. He was initially evaluated by a neurologist, and because of his exposure to zoonotic pathogens he was referred for infectious disease evaluation. He had not received any empiric courses of antibiotics.

The 7 1/2 year old daughter of the above patient first sought medical care for a similar constellation of symptoms in October, 2007. Her illness began suddenly one morning with severe neck pain. Over the next month the pain gradually improved but never fully remitted, and she additionally developed headaches, low-grade fevers, and general malaise. Her symptoms evolved to include intermittent weakness of her legs and paresthesias, which were so debilitating that she was no longer able to attend school. She was seen by a pediatric neurologist, and her vital signs and physical exam were noted to be normal. She did not have any objective neurologic deficits.

Other Family Members
Within the family, the mother and two sons were reportedly healthy. As described for the father and daughter, B. henselae and B. vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii serology and BAPGM blood cultures were performed for the mother (March, 2008) and for the two sons (January, 2008). In these three individuals, antibody titers ranged from 1:32 to 1:128 to antigens of B. henselae and B. vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii genotypes II and III. Bartonella spp. was not isolated nor PCR amplified from blood or serum samples obtained from these three other family members.

In this study, we report the simultaneous detection of B. vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii infection in two family members who were experiencing neurological dysfunction. Bartonella vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii is an important emerging intravascular pathogen that has been isolated from patients with endocarditis, arthritis, neurological disease and vasoproliferative neoplasia [5, 6, 14, 15]. In the current case report, both the father and daughter were infected with B. vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii genotype II strains and both were either co-infected or sequentially infected with B. henselae. Considering the sequential serological test results obtained for the father, it seems likely that he was co-infected, when the first blood culture was obtained. Initial B. henselae antibody titers for the father were 8 to 12 fold higher than the titers obtained using B. vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii genotype II antigens, whereas only a 6 fold difference was found in the initial two serum samples from the daughter. As there is a less convincing serological association supporting co-infection in the daughter and as three of four cats in the household were B. henselae bacteremic during the period in which the father and daughter were being treated for their B. vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii infections, it is possible that sequential infection with two different Bartonella spp. was documented in the daughter during the course of this study. As the isolation and molecular detection of these bacteria from patient samples remains microbiologically challenging, we were unable to clearly establish whether either patient was co-infected or sequentially infected at various time points.
Previously, we described the preferential amplification of one Bartonella sp. when two or more species are present in the extracted sample [16]. The mechanism(s) responsible for preferential amplification of one bacteria when DNA of two species is present in a patient sample is unclear, but mechanisms could include the relative concentrations of DNA of the respective organisms in the sample at the time of DNA extraction for PCR amplification, or selective amplification of one DNA sequence over the other one, when comparable template concentrations are present. Targeting multiple Bartonella genes can enhance the possibility of detecting co-infection in patient samples [17–19]. Potentially, PCR primers targeting different gene fragments preferentially amplify different Bartonella spp. in co-infected individuals. It is also possible that BAPGM enrichment culture preferentially selects for the growth of one Bartonella spp. in a co-infected individual. Therefore both individuals may have been co-infected with B. vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii and B. henselae at the outset of this study.
As the sequences of the B. henselae strains obtained from the father and daughter's blood cultures were identical (B. henselae ITS strain Houston1) to the blood culture strains obtained from the three cats, the family cats were the presumed source of this infection.
Although the mother and two sons were healthy and blood culture negative when tested on a single occasion, all three had serological evidence supporting prior exposure to B. henselae. The two newly acquired young dogs were not seroreactive to Bartonella antigens and both were blood culture negative; therefore it seems unlikely that these dogs played a role in transmission of B. henselae or B. vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii in the family. Although cats are the primary reservoir host, B. henselae has been isolated by blood culture from dogs and sequenced from dog saliva [8, 9]. It is possible that an arthropods or the two older dogs that had died prior to initiation of this study were the source of B. vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii infection, as historically this organism has been isolated from domestic and wild canines and humans [1, 2]. Infection with B. vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii was recently described in a cat with recurrent osteomyelitis that was bacteremic over a 15-month time period [20]. Therefore, cats may be able to maintain a persistent B. vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii bacteremia and potentially serve as a source of bacterial transmission to humans [14]. Efforts to amplify B. vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii from the cats in this study using subspecies-specific primers were not successful. Over 100 years ago, B. quintana was transmitted to human volunteers, when saliva from a febrile patient was applied to escharified skin [21]. As saliva obtained from soldiers with trench fever apparently contains viable, infectious Bartonella quintana, oral transmission of B. vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii from the father or a pet cat to the daughter through close family contact cannot be ruled out. Bartonella spp. DNA has now been reported in the saliva of cats, dogs and humans [22, 23]. Clearly, additional data is needed to define the risk factors for Bartonella spp. transmission to humans and to their pets, but it seems prudent to recommend hygienic measures after contacting pet and perhaps human saliva.
The father in this report is the second patient in which enrichment culture enhanced the molecular detection of a Bartonella spp. in cerebrospinal fluid. In a previous study, B. henselae was repeatedly detected by blood or cerebrospinal fluid culture in a 23 year-old girl who developed progressively severe seizures following a history of cat scratch disease [6]. In both patients, cerebrospinal fluid analyses were reported to be within normal limits; however, inadvertent contamination of the sample with blood cells cannot be ruled out. As Bartonella spp. appear to target vascular endothelial cells, it is possible that B. vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii and B. henselae contributed to the nonspecific area of vascular injury reported on the father's MRI.
The use of an optimized insect-based cell culture growth medium can facilitate the isolation or enhanced molecular detection of Bartonella spp. following culture-enrichment of patient samples prior to performing PCR [5, 6, 8, 14, 18]. The enhanced diagnostic utility of the enrichment approach is best illustrated in Table 2, where B. vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii and B. henselae DNA were never directly amplified from extracted blood samples obtained from the daughter and were only detectable by PCR following enrichment culture. In our experience, at least a 7 to 14-day incubation period is required before the enriched sample is obtained from liquid BAPGM for DNA extraction. At no time during this study was Bartonella spp. DNA amplified from a DNA extraction control, a BAPGM un-inoculated enrichment culture control or a subculture agar plate control. Although not detailed in the table, it is not unusual for 7-day enrichment cultures and subcultures to be PCR negative for Bartonella spp. DNA, whereas the respective organism can be amplified and sequenced after a 14-day incubation period from the enriched liquid culture, the agar plate isolate, or both. Due to the high level of B. henselae bacteremia generally found in cats, the same strain could be detected in each cat following direct extraction of the blood sample, enrichment culture and the agar plate isolates (Table 3). Unfortunately, despite the enhanced utility of enrichment culture for the molecular microbiological diagnosis of Bartonella infection, obtaining viable agar plate isolates after subculture from liquid BAPGM at 7 or 14 days post-incubation remains technically difficult. In this study, only one B. vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii isolate was obtained from the daughter's post-antibiotic blood culture after a 14-day enrichment period, whereas the 7-day BAPGM enrichment culture and subculture were both PCR negative. An isolate was never obtained from the father; however as described above, using the same BAPGM enrichment platform, B. henselae isolates were obtained from three of the four cats in the household. As overtly healthy cats can maintain a high-level of bacteria in systemic circulation for months to years, isolation of B. henselae form cat blood samples is comparatively easy to achieve, as compared to isolation using the same approaches from dog or human blood samples [11, 12]. Failure to obtain stable Bartonella isolates is a major patient management limitation, as it prevents routine testing for antibiotic sensitivity and resistance of specific isolates at time points prior to and following antibiotic administration. This was of particular concern for these two patients, as B. henselae DNA was still sequenced from an enrichment culture of the father's blood following a 3-week course of doxycycline and rifampin and B. vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii was detected in the girl's blood following a 6-week course of azithromycin. Based upon negative post-antibiotic blood cultures and a decremental decrease in antibody titers to non-detectable levels, antibiotic treatment appeared to correlate with microbiological elimination of B. vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii and B. henselae infections, cessation of antibody production, and with the eventual clinical resolution of illness in both patients.
The father reported a recent history of severe periodontal disease. Two previous molecular microbiological studies identified Bartonella spp. DNA in subgingival samples from patients with periodontitis. [24, 25]. In addition, other investigators have detected B. henselae DNA and B. quintana DNA in the parotid salivary glands of an immunocompetent woman and man, respectively and B. quintana in the dental pulp of a homeless man [26–28]. After which B. vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii genotype II was successfully sequenced from the periodontal swab, but attempts to sequence the amplicon obtained from the salivary swab were not successful (Table 1). As identical techniques were used, this result might be explained by a higher concentration of B. vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii DNA at the periodontal surface, as compared to dilution of bacterial DNA targets floating in saliva in the oral cavity. In our laboratory, a B. henselae SA2 strain (2.5 copies/reaction) is used as the source of positive control DNA for the ITS PCR reaction; therefore, contamination with positive control DNA could not explain any PCR results obtained in these two patients. As over 500 species of bacteria have been estimated to inhabit the oral cavity, BAPGM enrichment culture was not attempted because rapidly growing organisms would negate efforts to increase Bartonella numbers via the enrichment process [29, 30]. It is also possible that detection of B. vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii in close approximation of the periodontal surface reflects passive leakage of bacteria through inflamed and compromised vascular tissues or alternatively the establishment of an active foci of infection that contributed to the recent history of periodontitis. Detection of DNA in the oral cavity does not confirm the presence of viable bacteria; however, caution should be exercised by dentists and physicians when examining the oral cavity of an individual with chronic Bartonella spp. bacteremia.
B. vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii and B. henselae are zoonotic pathogens that can be isolated from the blood of immunocompetent family members with arthralgias, fatigue and neurological symptoms. Therapeutic elimination of Bartonella spp. infections can be challenging, and follow-up testing is recommended. An increasing number of arthropod vectors, including biting flies, fleas, keds, lice, sandflies and ticks have been confirmed or are suspected as the primary mode of transmission of Bartonella species among animal populations and may also pose a risk to human beings.

New Chicago cab regulations inch closer
Some Chicago cab drivers are declaring war on Chicago city government after a committee vote Tuesday in favor of new cab industry regulations.
Among the many protestors at Chicago's City Hall Tuesday morning were a few dozen cab drivers.
"They're turning us into slaves - slaves for the city and slaves for the cab companies and we are not gonna take it anymore," said Finn Ebelechukwu, a driver with Flash Cab.
Among the cab drivers' complaints: that incentives favor cab companies and not drivers. They also said the ordinance did not award a fare increase.
The packed committee meeting heard testimony from a dozen or so drivers, who implored the city to delay the vote so more considerations could work their way into the ordinance.
But the city said it has already gathered a ton of industry feedback from a variety of stakeholders. Just before the vote, the committee reminded those in attendance that an ordinance can always be amended after it passes. They then voted in favor of the ordinance 14-3.
Ebelechukwu was furious about the vote. "We're gonna start with strikes and then we're gonna start raising money against every single alderman who voted for this bill," he said. "The G-8 is coming. We're gonna work the G-8. But guess what? We're with the 99% and we'll see who's gonna drive all those people around who are coming into the city," Ebelechukwu warned.
The full City Council is expected to vote on Chicago's new cab regulations Wednesday.

Joe Launchbury has provided Eddie Jones with a much needed injury boost after being declared fit for England's second Test against South Africa.
Launchbury missed the opening encounter at Ellis Park after sustaining a calf problem in training, but the Wasps captain will be fit to take to the field as Jones' side look to recover from their first Test defeat.
"Joe Launchbury trained today and trained well," said England forwards coach Steve Borthwick.
"He's done a great job with his rehabilitation and is available for selection."
Launchbury is set to slot straight back into Jones' starting XV -- likely partnering Maro Itoje in the second row in Bloemfontein.

I wonder why Habbo is having ancient civilization furnis and the sun. The sun is perhaps the most intriguing furni for me because instead of it dominating the room, it can be controlled by moodlight. Now who controls the sun that way, unless if you're in the movie like The Truman Show.
how the sun is supposed to look like
when used together with moodlight, it lost its dominance
Even if it is in two-dimensional world, I was hoping for furnis to work like it is in the three-dimensional world. Because if they won't, it would seem like we are offering these two-dimensional beings, like my Viridulus Shroom, unfair perspective of the real sun.
But then, considering that it is just the first time that the little monsters have seen a real two-dimensional sun furni, how would they know what a real sun looks and feels like?
Back to why the game is now offering ancient Egypt and reservation furnis. Drat! My mind just became riddled with conspiracy issues, especially related to the ones shown in History Channel. I love watching them that I even get to the point of reviewing them over and over. But I never believe 100% of what was shown there. I thought they are publicized to make the common brain believe that they exist.
So is Habbo in for that same issue? I hope not. But I still love the new furnis. Although…I did not buy any of them yet. I want to save…for the end of the world LOL

Earl Tupper may have invented Tupperware, but it was BROWNIE WISE, the first woman to appear on the cover of Business Week, who sold it. In the 1950's, Wise created the Tupperware "home party," launching a zillion pastel jello molds and giving thousands of housewives a career.
At the height of her career, Wise was suddenly fired and subsequently written out of the company's history.
Her dramatic story (there is an abusive ex-husband too) is told in Tupperware Unsealed by Bob Kealing, the rights to which have been acquired by Sony Pictures for a film staring Sandra Bullock. (Can totally see Bullock in a dress like the one Wise is pictured in below.)

Liebherr Grows New Zealand Market Share
A recent order from the Port of Lyttleton is the latest in a series of contracts that has seen Liebherr Container Cranes expand on an already significant presence in New Zealand's North and South Islands, the company said.
The Port of Lyttleton's most recent order for a super post panamax ship to shore crane and four straddle carriers, will see the number of Liebherr straddle carriers in the Port of Lyttelton grow to eight and brings the total number of ship to shore cranes at the port to three. Trade at the port has seen significant growth in recent years with latest reports indicating this trend is set to continue.
Meanwhile, the Port of Tauranga on New Zealand's North Island has recently taken possession of a new Liebherr super post panamax ship to shore crane and three new Liebherr straddle carriers. The cranes took centre stage in a ceremony to celebrate the opening of a 170 m new wharf extension in Tauranga's Sulphur Point Wharf.
Speaking at the Ceremony, New Zealand's Prime Minister, John Key, said that the efficiencies that the current investments in new cranes, straddle carriers and a dredging program will deliver, make Tauranga a port of the future.
The Port of Tauranga will continue to expand with the arrival of a seventh Liebherr ship to shore crane early in 2014. This crane will bring to nine the number of Liebherr STS cranes on the North Island, includiing the two cranes located at Centerport, Wellington.
The cranes join a fleet of 20 Liebherr mobile harbor cranes in operation across New Zealand and Australia, giving Liebherr an extensive presence right across the region.

A couple of months ago we met Lisa from fromdreamtoplan for a lovely brunch. Lisa was the first blogger we have ever met from Instagram and we are so glad we met her she is such a babe. We especially enjoyed being able to share and learn tips from one another, there is so much to learn and it really helps talking to a fellow blogger.
Lisa has been wanting to launch the challenge for a while and thought it would work perfectly if we both did it together. So here it is, we are launching our first challenge together which is an Instagram photo challenge!
So a lot of you may be thinking what on earth is an Instagram photo challenge so you can find a short explanation below as to what it is all about:
So, what is an Instagram Photo Challenge?
An Instagram Photo Challenge consists involves following a photo prompt (that in this case it will be given to you by us) generally theme-based, for a certain period of time (in this case, 5 days) following certain rules (okay, saying rules is too strict, let's say guidelines!).
Also at the end of the challenge Lisa will be selecting 3 participants that will be interviewed for a full "Dreams Into Plans" post for her blog where you have the chance to share more about your journey. The post will also be advertised on her social media channels as well.
The theme of our challenge will be one of the dreams you had that you managed to transform into a plan/reality! So each day the photo is related to explaining and sharing more about it, how you've worked/you're working on it and how are your feelings about it! below are the prompts for each day:
Each time you post a picture related to the challenge:
1. Use the hashtag #5daysofdreamsandplans
2. In the caption explain more about the picture posted (for example for day 2 "what did you have to focus on to help you achieve your goal'
3. Be sure to tag (could be both of us or just one of us)
4. If you want to be considered for the final "prize" (having the possibility to be featured on our blogs) you have to participate in the whole challenge, meaning posting a picture every day related to the prompt suggested, using the hashtag and be following Lisa IG or our IG profile.
We're super excited to see your pics and know more about your dreams/goals and we feel like is a great way to start the last month of this 2017! Hope you're excited too!
Looking forward to this challenge to start!

Made in USA (1966)
Directed by Jean-Luc GodardGenres - Crime | Sub-Genres - Crime Thriller | Run Time - 90 min. | Countries - France | MPAA Rating - NR
Share on
Synopsis by Mark Deming
Jean-Luc Godard directed this brightly colored, pop-art homage to American crime cinema, which somehow finds room for extended commentary on leftist politics and the corrupt nature of advertising. Paula Nelson (Anna Karina) is a mystery woman (Is she a reporter? Perhaps a spy?) who used to be involved with Richard, a man who is now an outspoken Communist and has been linked to the murder of a foreign agent. Paula wants to silence Richard before he starts making trouble for her, but she can't find much hard evidence that's he's still alive outside of a recently discovered tape recorder that plays his recorded rants on current political issues. While speaking with Typhus (Ernest Menzer), a small time hood who knows about Paula's relationship with Richard, shots ring out and suddenly Typhus is dead. As Paula tries to find a way to get rid of the body, she tries to discover who killed him and why, as a pair of lackadaisical hoods (Laszlo Szabo and Jean-Pierre Leaud) follow her around Paris. Filled with references to American genre cinema and dedicated to Samuel Fuller and Nicholas Ray, Made In U.S.A. was the last film Godard would make with his one-time wife and frequent collaborator Anna Karina, and it was filmed simultaneously with another feature Godard released in 1966, 2 or 3 Things I Know About Her. The admittedly flimsy plot was loosely adapted from the novel The Jugger by Donald E. Westlake (published under the pseudonym Richard Stark); Westlake wasn't paid for the rights, and he prevented the film from being released in the United States until after his death in 2008.

My name is Miss Dhora, from Ivory Coast in West Africa,5.3ft tall, dark in complexion,(never married before ) and presently I am residing in the refugee camp here in Dakar as a result of the civil war that was fought in my country.
My late father Dr Patrick Mendy was the managing director of Fredcocoa and Associates (Ltd) and he was the personal advicer to the former head of state (Late Dr Robert Guei) before the rebels attacked our house one early morning and killed my mother and my father in cold blood. It was only me that is alive now and I managed to make my way to a near by country Senegal where
iam leaving now.
I would like to know more about you. Your likes and dislikes, your hobbies and what you are doing presently. I will tell you more about
myself in my next mail.Attached here is my pictures and I will send another picture in my next mail. I will also like to see more of your pictures.

Hello Dearest,
I am glad to write you this email now. How is life treating you? i Hope fine.
Mine is very tough over here in Dakar Senegal..I thank God for you.Your message was a bit relief for me. May God protect you for me.
In this camp we are only allowed to go out from the camp only on Mondays and Fridays of the weeks.Its just like one staying in the prison and I hope by God's grace and with your help,i will come out here soon.We don't have any relatives now whom we can go to all our relatives ran away in the middle of the war.
The only person we have now is Rev.Livinus Mathew who is the Reverend Minister in charge of the church in this camp ( CHRIT DE SAVIORMISSION)
He has been very nice to me since I came here but I am not living with him rather I am living in the women's hostel because the camp have two hostels one for men the other for women.The Pastors Tel number is (00221-480- 5777) Feel free to call me through his number. If you call and tell him that you want to speak with me he will send for me in the hostel.
As a refugee here I don't have any right or privilege to any thing be it money or whatever because it is against the law of this country.I want to go back to my studies because I only attended my first year before the tragic incident that lead to my being in this situation now took place.
Please listen to this,I have my late father's statement of account and death certificate here with me which I will send to you latter,because when he was alive he deposited some amount of money in a leading bank in Europe which he used my name as the next of kin,the amount in question is $5.3(Five Million three Hundred Thousand US Dollars.
So I will like you to help me transfer this money to your account and from it you can send me money, for me to come over to meet with you in your country. I kept this secret to people in the camp here the only person that knows about it is the Reverend because he is like a father to me.
So in the light of above I will like you to keep it to yourself and don't tell it to anyone for I am afraid of loosing my life and the money if people gets to know about it. Remember I am giving you all this information due to the trust I deposed on you.I like honest, understanding and God fearing people,truthful and a man of vision, and hardworking.
My favourite language is english I speak english very fluently. Meanwhile I will like you to call me like I said I have alot to tell you.
Have a nice day and think about me.
Awaiting to hear from you soonest
Thanks and remain blessed.
Your's ever.
