US Elections 2016: Ted Cruz drops out of the race as Donald Trump wins Indiana


US Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz dropped out of the presidential race after Donald Trump won Indiana state thereby making Donald Trump the presumptive Republican nominee.

But John Kasich, the other remaining Republican presidential candidate, who has only won 1 state since the Primary election started and only had 7.5% votes in Indiana is still in the race, he has refused to drop out.

Ted Cruz fought really hard, refusing to give up on his campaign but Tuesday night, he announced he was dropping out of the race after he lost Indiana to Donald Trump. It was an emotional announcement that left his parents teary eyed (That's his mum sitting in the above photo). He was also emotional as he made his speech. He said he was dropping out because there was no way he could win the GOP Presidential nominee after losing Indiana.

Donald Trump won with 53.3%, Ted Cruz 36.7% and John Kasich had 7.5%.

While Bernie Sanders won Indiana with 52.7% votes and Hilary Clinton-47.3%

Details of the development are contained in a document posted to the RCMP website called Results and Respect in the RCMP Workplace.

Meet the woman who got a facelift at 80 years old

Did this really happened? Well, 80 years old Elizabeth Moore said she got it because her ageing face with all it wrinkles no longer matched how she felt inside. Despite her family warning her against, 8 months ago, the retired university lecturer got a facelift, dermabrasion and fat injections into her cheeks. The five-hour operation cost her about $15,000
"I hoped I could go back to looking as I did a decade ago, when I felt more confident. I wanted to look the very best I could, and now I feel I do. I look in the mirror and feel much more confident about what I see. I no longer look tired and miserable, which I did previously because my cheeks were sunken and I had deep lines near my mouth. I now look rested and well." She said...

RBC ROYAL BANK CANADA
RBC downtown Toronto. CP
Meghann Johnston has seen her RBC bank accounts looted three times by someone who stole her identity. The fraudsters walked away with tens of thousands of dollars. 
Johnston calls it "an incredibly stressful" situation. 
Each time, a fraudster walked into an RBC branch during business hours pretending to be Johnston, presented fake ID and was allowed to withdraw money from Johnston's account. 
The first time it happened in Toronto in 2012, Johnston was a law student. She was home studying when the call came from RBC telling her she had to get to her branch right away.
"I found out that somebody had gone into a branch and was impersonating me and had withdrawn quite a large sum of money from my student line of credit," she told Go Public. 
Johnston said the fraudster took $26,000. The bank gave her the money back and launched an investigation. Johnston had to go through the process of changing all her accounts and her automatic payments and had to pay the associated fees.

A Texas grand jury has officially cleared an officer of any wrongdoing after he fatally shot an unarmed man back in January.

Officer Juventino Castro will face no charges in the deadly shooting of 26-year-old Jordan Baker, Chron News reports.

Baker was shot by Castro in an alley behind a Houston strip mall. Castro was off duty at the time, and Baker was unarmed. Castro said he believed Baker matched the description of a robbery suspect who had targeted the strip mall in the past, ABC13 reported at the time.

In a police report filed after the killing, Castro said there was a scuffle and a foot chase into the alley after the officer asked to see Baker's ID. Castro told investigators he shot Baker after the man allegedly charged the cop.

Laurice Chave CT
Pastor Gordon A. Humphrey Jr. of United Ministries gave his last service on Sunday.

The 60-year-old pastor was preaching at Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church in Chicago and singing Pharrell Williams' hit song "Happy" when he suddenly collapsed at the pulpit.

"I'm not sure if they determined the cause of death but it's been said he may have had a heart attack," Pastor Greg Hunter, a mentee of Humphrey, told the Christian Post.

Members of Humphrey's congregation immediately came to the pastor's aid but to no avail.

"They did call paramedics right away. They had people in the church that are in the medical field working on him as well and he was taken to the hospital," Hunter said.

Up to the time of his death, Humphrey had served as a senior pastor in Olivet Church in Oakland, California; Olivet Church in Stockton, California; and the Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church in Chicago, where his father, Gordon Humphrey, Sr., pastored for some 40 years before him.
