MURDER? Did Anybody Really Kill Terry Bonchaka & Suzzy Williams?
Author Entertainment GH
By Arnold Asamoah-Baidoo
It has been such an emotional period; a season where we have been reminded of the untimely passing of two of the most popular entertainment figures in their time – Terry Bonchaka and Suzzy Williams.
Losing a loved one is a heart-wrenching experience and no amount of time can erase such a feeling. And if not carefully treated, one might end up affecting sensibilities – a reason why it was difficult for me to pen this, but I had to.
The conversation about the circumstances leading to the unfortunate demise of Terry Bonchaka and Suzzy Williams has been rekindled, thanks to the new revelations from their mothers, over a decade after they died.
The two are not the only popular personalities to lose their lives in supposed mysterious conditions and if we do not tackle this with some open-mindedness, it may recur almost all the time.
How the deaths were reported
According to a report filed by www.modernghana.com on August 28, 2006, Suzzy Williams died on September 8, 2005, in a car crash on the Accra-La road.
A post-mortem conducted on the late popular actress by Dr. Lawrence Edusei, a Pathologist at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital, and corroborated by a Ghana Standards Board (GSB) forensic science report, dated October 10, 2005 showed that the actress had traces of cocaine in her nose and liver, and high levels of alcohol in her blood, as evident from a nose swab, blood sample analysis, as well as liver and stomach content analysis to determine a toxicology analysis.
Dr. Edusei had the deceased's blood sample, stomach contents, liver and nose swab sent to the Ghana Standards Board for further tests on September 13, 2005.
The result of the toxicology analysis conducted on October 2, 2005 by the Forensic Science Department of the GSB showed that she had traces of cocaine in her nose as found by the nose swab.
The toxicological analysis report by Mr. Alexander Weremfo of the GSB, dated October 10, 2005, indicated that besides the cocaine detected in the deceased's nose, the late Suzzy Williams had a blood alcohol level of 60 mg/100ml.
With such a blood alcohol level, an individual, according to the report, may show signs of intoxication such as flushing, loquaciousness (talkativeness) and slow reflexes.
Suzzy Williams sustained multiple injuries including lacerations, bruises and the cause of her death, according to the pathologist, was a massive hemorrhage or bleeding, which he added was an unnatural cause of death.
Terry Bonchaka met his untimely death on October 30, 2003, in a fatal accident on the Legon-Madina road in Accra when his car veered off the road and hit a tree.
This was right after he performed at the Akuafo Hall Week celebrations at the University of Ghana, Legon. He was later confirmed dead at the 37 Military Hospital.
Parents' suspicion
Mother of Terry Bonchaka
Dejected parents of Terry Bonchaka and Suzzy Williams, who died at the ages of 21 and 23 years respectively, are clearly yet to come to terms with the reality even after many years of their passing and this is understandable.
The conviction of the mothers is that their beloved children were murdered!
Months ago, Mrs. Charlotte Adjetey, the mother of Terry Bonchaka, was on Hitz FM and revealed to Noella Yalley that seeing her son's corpse confirmed to her that he was murdered.
She said the autopsy report indicated that Terry Bonchaka died of suffocation. "He couldn't breathe, that was how it came about. What happened that he couldn't breathe, only God knows.
"When they brought him from the mortuary and he was lying down in the house, I went in there to look at him vividly and I saw that on the neck it was as if something had been done to him. It was the hand of someone, someone did it to my son. It's only Jehovah who knows the truth," she said.
Just last weekend, Madam Cecilia Williams, the mother of Suzzy Williams, spoke to Stacy Amoateng on the Restoration show and stated that she believes her daughter was murdered.
"When I went into the room (hospital), I checked her heart beat and pulse, it was okay. I passed by and pulled the window down. A young, fair-coloured man came in, held her head from behind and pushed a straw/syringe into Suzzy's nose. I can never forget it," she narrated.
According to her, she went to the hospital a year after, to confront the authorities over what she suspected was foul play. She said the report that her daughter had cocaine in her system was inaccurate and she believes the substance that was injected in her daughter through the nostrils at the hospital was cocaine.
Asked if she believes her daughter was murdered, she responded; "Of course!"
The difficulty of letting go
Suzzy and Mother
The pain of a mother losing a child is traumatic. It is extremely difficult and regardless of the true nature of the deaths of Terry Bonchaka and Suzzy Williams or the authenticity of the postmortem, letting go is not easy.
"I've been crying all along because I miss him. He was a son and a friend, you know how it is [when] you've lost a friend, you know how it feels," Terry's mother said.
Madam Cecilia Williams said she misses her daughter too.
"When we used to eat together and it was left with the last bite of the food, Suzzy will tell me that is hers and her name is on it," she recollected with a smile.
I am not in the position to discredit any form of belief in superstition or any perceived foul play in the untimely deaths of these two personalities but sometimes, letting go is difficult and holding on to something, just anything, be it the assurance or the knowledge that the loved one did not die naturally, counts for these mothers.
Poor reporting of celebrity deaths
Clearly, the media has not mastered the skill of reporting celebrity deaths. From the deaths of Bob Cole, Santo, Mac Tontoh, Kiki Gyan, Kwame Owusu Ansah, to Michael Dwamena, Daasebre Gyamena, Ebony and many others – reports on celebrities' cause of death have largely been based on accounts of friends, extended family members and hear say.
Rarely do we have a concrete and true report on the causative agents of the deaths of our celebrities like we had for Suzzy Williams.
Elsewhere, even when celebrities die via motor accidents, media reports give a vivid account on what caused the deaths. We know how Fast & Furious actor Paul Walker died, but we do not know how Ebony died.
Walker, 40, was found dead along with his friend and financial adviser Roger Rodas in a burnt-out Porsche Carrera GT in Los Angeles after their car crashed.
The coroner's report said Walker died of the combined effects of traumatic and thermal injuries while Rodas, the driver, died of multiple traumatic injuries. No drugs or alcohol were detected in either men.
American music legend Prince was found unresponsive in an elevator. He died later and after six or so weeks after his death, the Midwest Medical Examiner's Office in Minnesota released the long-awaited autopsy report declaring that his death was by accidental fentanyl toxicity but we still do not know what killed Michael Dwamena.
We must do better
The families, coroners, the police and the media must all do better in how we report celebrity deaths in Ghana.
In some cases, families are privy to the real cause of death, but fail to share with the media. Some coroners refuse to share the actual cause of deaths for some celebrities and the media also fail to investigate further to report the actual deaths of these popular figures.
After the media feverishly reports on the hear-say accounts of how a celebrity died, we go to sleep, not following up on a coroner's report or postmortem, knowing very well that it takes days, weeks and months to come out with a report.
If we do better and report accurately on the causes of these celebrity deaths, maybe, we may help in giving the aggrieved families closure and save them from hanging on to myths and coming out years later to make wild allegations on what may have killed their loved ones. We ought to do better!

Testimonial: One month ago I was bitten by a poisonous spider in the shoulder area near the neck. I suffered severe cell demage. My skin blistered initially then it was open flesh from the breast area, over the left arm and the upper shoulder extending three inches onto the back. The medicine I was given did not work, and being in pain I was trying everything. A trip to the hospital and a dermatologist was useless. No one knew how to treat my condition. My face was also affected. When I finally calmed down, I remembered I had BeautyMate tea so I decided to give it a try. Within two days the raw areas began to heal around the edges. The tea bags were placed on the troubled areas. For two weeks I drank BeautyMate and increased my vitamin intake. Daily I continue to drink it and my skin has healed tremendously thanks to BeautyMate. My doctor and nurses at Poison Control were convinced that I would need a skin graph (graft). I took pictures to show healing in progress. The last place to heal is the initial area, but it's healing with minimum scaring and hyper pigmentation, that I will trea with aloe, lemon juice, comfrey and pure cocoa butter. I was so convinced of its healing properties, I now carry the Health King line of teas at my business and I recommend BeautyMate to women with skin conditions. In 40 years I have always had beautiful skin, so when this occurred I was devastated. I forsee a full recovery within two months. As a vegetarian, I am currently using the Reishi Liver Guard tea to purge my system of the heavy medicines I took to stop the spider venom from destroying my systems.

Today I am feeling a bit sentimental. There is a lot to celebrate in our family right now.....birthdays and graduations......and I'm so proud. Of my boys. Of us.
And I'm thankful. For the gift of watching three little boys grow into fine young men. For their confidence and positive outlooks. For others who have made it a point to participate with love and support, engaging with the boys and us along the way.
Within the next couple of weeks we'll celebrate with the older ones as they graduate from college. As they finish what they started and move on to the next step. I am bursting as I remember them as college freshman......an entire menu of potential life paths set out before them within a course catalog. My advice to them now is the same as it was then: Try out a few things. Find out what it is you hold a passion and an affinity for. Trust that you'll know when something is right for you, for education is as much about figuring out ways that you don't want to spend your time, as it is about finding out with certainty, ways that you do. But once you figure it out, dive in, live it and you'll succeed.
And so I will watch them finish with ceremony. For one, it will be the last specific reason I have to visit my alma mater unless business or fun take me back. It is the place where all of my siblings attended college as well, so I've been visiting one family member or another there since I was eleven. I'll watch as he wears the colors I grew up with and carries the same diploma. My other son went through graduation ceremonies at his school last spring, but returned to finish up a different degree. So we'll celebrate with him again before leaving him and his dog, Lew, in the place he's grown to love, and where he's decided to stay for awhile.
My youngest is in that same place the older guys were a few years ago. Finishing up his freshman year. Taking a look. Solidifying his choice. It's funny to have ones at both ends of the spectrum, and he's lucky in that he has the added bonus of being able to watch his older brothers.
So last night I made a good dinner and a cake. I felt like celebrating. Cheers!
I have to say that the first time someone told me I just had to make an unfinished church, La Sagrada Familia, be the one thing I saw above all other offerings in Barcelona, I was skeptical. Construction on it began in 1882 and is projected to wrap up in 2026. I couldn't imagine any modern day project that would take 144 years to complete and what it might look like at this point, so I'm embarrassed to admit that when I spent a day there a few years ago, I chose to go on a bike ride instead. Oh, I had heard about La Sagrada Familia and read about it in guide books, but at that point I knew that monasteries, shrines, churches, basilicas, cathedrals and the Vatican were in the plans for the next couple of weeks and I didn't want to tire of them, so I chose another way to spend the day. Besides, Barcelona appeared to be an easy and fun city to get around in on two wheels, so that's what we did......and it was.
Before I went back again this fall, I asked a couple of friends if they could only do one thing in Barcelona what that would be, and both said without hesitation, 'a visit to La Sagrada Familia'. That one could visit several times and still not see enough; get as much out of it as it has to offer. So on my last birthday that is how I spent a memorable day. It is impossible to describe the enormity in scale, beauty and inspiration I found there. The sheer planning, thought and attention to detail, illumination, symbolism and story. It was an overwhelming and awe-filled experience and something that often crosses my mind still. And the one reason I was skeptical about spending time there became the one important thing that stuck with me: The fact that it is unfinished is an inspiration rather than a distraction. The realization that someone had enough confidence and belief to begin a project such as this. That he possessed the understanding, acceptance and trust necessary to work on something that surely would not be completed during his lifetime.
Recently I spent time going through photos from that day, hoping to find three or four to use for this post. I remembered that I had an assortment that showed natural light streaming through windows or colored light resting on objects after traveling through stained glass. I considered that some of those might work well to illustrate spring or the Easter season......or the fact that I'm hoping for some really good long days of sunshine in the near future. But as I sifted through, the ones that attracted me most were ones that showed building. Ones that included scaffolding and wires and protective draping as evidence of the construction that has gone on for 129 years and will continue for an estimated fifteen more. Ones that demonstrate and confirm growth. That illustrate that something can be breathtakingly wonderful......even whole......during its infant, adolescent and middle years. That sometimes, many times, in a project or in our lives we tend to worry and think too much about the finished piece and neglect to appreciate and pay attention to the beauty and the strength available during its building.
Candles for sale outside of St. Spyridon. Corfu.
A shrine to the Madonna. Monserrat.
Part of the Passion facade from La Sagrada Familia. Barcelona.
I'm not a huge fan of surprises that startle, but I don't mind coming upon the unexpected. I guess I see them as a little different.
Scenes where I didn't plan to find something interesting. Unanticipated joy. Found beauty beyond the busy and the mess.
Maybe it has to do with the fact that it's spring. It could be the rain/snow/hail/sunbreaks we've been having. Or the realization that my oldest will both graduate from college within the next couple of weeks.
For some reason I am bit more tuned in. A little more appreciative and thankful.
Remember when I said I found a great little coffee shop that served the 'best' cup of coffee when I visited the opposite coast a few weeks ago? And that I thought it was funny to discover a small local (to my area) roaster all the way over there? Well...thank goodness I've found a similar place nearby that uses the same beans and makes the same good coffee! I met up with a friend there yesterday to catch up and here's what else I found: baked goods and gelato, wooden furnishings with character, a variety of seating options, a lot of windows (love that), friendly local owner. Great!
I'm a bit under the weather today so it's a good day to stay home and do a few things. Not much however! There is something nice about sticking around. Doing laundry and putting things in their place. Listening to the washer and dryer do their thing. Curling up in a blanket with a book. Baking a batch of my favorite cookies. Mmmmm..........I don't do that often when the boys are away.
I've had a chance to spend time with each of my boys lately. During the past couple of weeks they've all been home. Connecting with them is a bit different now than when they lived here full time. Face to face interactions are priority. It's a treat not to have to communicate by cell phone or the Internet. When they're around I clear my calendar to just hang out with them. When they want to talk, I stop what I'm doing to hear what they have to say.
Last night we took the two that are here this week out for dinner. It started out as a typical spring evening, with sun drenching the pavement in between downpours. On the way home it began snowing so hard that it became difficult to see. Huge silver dollar flakes landed on the windshield and soon after we arrived an inch or more was built up on our patio. I have to say......I enjoy the unpredictability of it all.
The general area that I live in is threaded with bodies of water, large and small, all of which ultimately flow toward the Pacific. It is not unusual in the span of a day to either cross over water or to follow along it's shore. Both dwelling place and industry are built to take maximum advantage of what a section of waterfront has to offer. Sailboats, fishing vessels, canoes, houseboats, ferries, cruise ships, cargo ships and seaplanes are common sights. Streams tumble down westward slopes, merge into rivers and flow toward large lakes and the Puget Sound. Beyond the mainland waterfront, the sound is dotted with islands that harbor life for different reasons and at a different pace than in the city. We are all interconnected and influenced by our proximity to this tangled flow of water.
Even though bodies of water are a daily norm for me, I was still surprised and unprepared for the short time that we spent in Venice this fall. Its 117 islands, 400 bridges and 177 canals. Its age and color and beauty. Its richly woven tapestry of history. Its waterways that serve the same purpose as the roadways I am used to: Moving people in taxis and buses. Moving groceries and goods.
We packed whatever we could into the day and a half we were there, making our way to the island of Murano to look at glass via a water bus. Pasta and a glass of wine for lunch. An evening gondola ride. It was warm and bright and sunny during the day and glowed with reflected light in the evening. The most impressive part of our visit, I think, was our arrival. We stood on an upper deck to watch the city grow large during our ship's approach from the Adriatic to the Grand Canal. It was colorful and thrilling...... and as I sift through my photographs, I remember what I felt: This is new to me. I am in a place I have never been before. I will get as much as I can out of it while I'm here.
The photos below are a set (in order) taken as a tugboat lead our ship toward Venice .
Where ever your travels take you today......I hope you enjoy them.
March came in like a bossy lion who decided it would be OK to stick around for the rest of the month. That overbearing dictator plied us with never-ending bouts of wind and rain.....I'm sure scaring whatever lamb that was supposed to show up somewhere far south of here. There are flood watches in the lowlands, avalanche warnings in the mountains and fallen branches scattered all over the place.
Throughout the gusts and pounding downpours however, blossoms have managed to stay put at the end of skinny tree limbs and my daffodils still stand upright. I'm thinking that lamb is actually out there disguised in the pops of color and new growth showing up against the gray and the wet. The light isn't bad for taking pictures. The rhubarb is up in my garden (although the picture is of my friend's rhubarb). The boys are in and out for their spring breaks. I'm pretty sure the weather will eventually calm down, but for now it's fine for baking and catching up and spending time with them. Yep....it's out there.

StudyDaddy Chemistry
INTERACTIONS OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS (CHEMISTRY)
The element titanium occurs on earth as titanium (IV) oxide and is found mostly in the mineral called rutile. Rutile is abundant in beach sands in Australia and South Africa. For titanium to be useful, rutile has to be processed to obtain the basic metal form of titanium. Although the process is costly, titanium is gaining popularity as a material for various equipment due to its strength and light weight. One such application is in sports equipment.
Explain the chemical process of manufacturing the metal form of titanium.
Explain why titanium is a good choice of material for golf clubs. When not in use, discuss at least one precaution to observe when storing clubs?
During the fabrication of golf clubs, finely divided titanium is generated, which poses a dangerous risk of fire and explosion. Explain the chemical process involved.
Your total response must be at least 200 words in length.
A garage that specializes in foreign cars had a small magnesium fire when a car part was ignited. The mechanic knew from his training that he should not use water but could use a dry powder like a sodium chloride based fire extinguishing powder (MET-L-X) or a graphite based (LITH-X). He knows that the CO2 extinguishing powder is not a good choice.
Explain the reasons why the mechanic thinks using CO2 is not a good idea.
If MET-L-X or LITH-X is used, a residue could be left on the metal and if cleaned with water, the fire may be rekindled. Explain the chemical process involved in this phenomenon for both types of fire extinguishing powder.

Guernsey, obviously flush with the £100 that the ICC have given them, have been promoted to Division 7 of the World Cricket League, where they join such cricketing heavyweights as Bahrain, Japan, Nigeria, Gibraltar and Surinam (or Suriname).
Congratulations to Guernsey, who have become the 34th Associate members of the ICC. This will guarantee a "three-figure sum" each year. Does that mean £100? That doesn't sound like much to me. Still, well done Guernsey.


I would not return here!
Stayed here for two nights before picking up a cruise. Very acceptable accommodation very clean, comfortable beds and walking distance to all amenities. No restaurant but suites have kitchen facilities and the breakfast was fine.
Get quick answers from Icaro Suites staff and past guests.
Do you supply coffee in the rooms? There are reviews mentioning you don't.
Coffee is not supplied in the room. But one can make one's own coffee in the room as it has a fully functioning kitchen.
Do the rooms have a stove hob in the kitchenette and is the microwave a combo grill too? We want to be able to cook.
Stove Hob and Microwave are present in the room. Not sure if the microwave has any additional features.
"Most every room faces a wall. Zero view."
"ask for a front room - it is interesting to watch the comings and goings on the road below!"
"I had a quiet room at higher floor "
"Large rooms, huge comfortable double bed, all very clean. Excellent Wi fi connection."

Ghaziabad, 29th December 2016: Morning walks are traditionally considered a very healthy daily exercise that can give the right start to a day by exposing your lungs to fresh air and your muscles to healthy movement. However, in certain circumstances, the practice of morning walks can cause more harm than good.
As winter sets in, doctors at Columbia Asia Hospitals, Ghaziabad say it is important to gauge the weather and exercise caution before stepping out for the daily morning walk. Caution is extremely important for heart patients, asthmatic patients and all elderly people who can suffer negative consequences of exposure to extreme cold and winter smog.
Apart from the increased toxicity in the air, the winter air is also the coldest in the morning and inhaling it along with the dangerous particulate material can cause serious allergic reactions of the respiratory system, especially in patients who have asthmatic or bronchial allergies.
· Watch out for smog: If there is excessive smog hanging around the sky, it is better not to go out for a walk and shift your workout session indoors. You can ditch the walk for aerobic exercises or any other forms of cardio exercises that can be performed indoors.
· Wear masks: If you are an otherwise healthy individual wearing a nose mask can guard you from inhaling the toxic air. However, if you are asthmatic or have bronchial allergies or are a heart patient, even stepping out with masks is not recommended.


Women have organized into representative bodies to fight workplace oppression since the eighteenth century. Often the victims of abuse and exploitation, the positive attributes of collectively organizing were attractive to women. While many working-women found union membership alluring, few held positions of power within unions and many were denied entrance to unions altogether. In Butte, Montana, however it was a different story. Butte was a union town to the very core. Almost everyone who worked in Butte was a union member in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Although initially denied entrance into male trade unions, women took it upon themselves to organize their own womenαs union for white and black women workers in Silver Bow County in 1890. The Womenαs Protective Union founded and run by women, allowed for an organization that was exclusively gender segregated. Women were organizers, business agents, and delegates to the local Silver Bow Trades and Labor Council and Montanaαs State Federation of Labor. The unique attributes of the all womenαs union extend beyond its composition and leadership. By analyzing the WPU in the context of Butteαs labor community, this study attempts to illustrate the activism of the union women. The womenαs union used direct action methods to achieve change for its membership. Through boycotts and strikes, the WPU demonstrated its willingness to participate in the local labor movement. Its activism and membership in the Silver Bow Trades and Labor Council further illustrates the womenαs commitment to the labor community. This study focuses on the early activities of the Womenαs Protective Union and its navigation in the local and state labor movement. It highlights the activities of the womenαs union between the years 1890-1929, including the womenαs efforts to fight amalgamation with the male culinary union and the month long strike for higher wages in 1920. Ultimately successful in its fight against merging with the male culinary union, the WPU maintained gender segregation and emerged from the early twentieth century a cohesive womenαs union.

Life and Death Theme Analysis
Themes and Colors
LitCharts assigns a color and icon to each theme in Behind the Beautiful Forevers, which you can use to track the themes throughout the work.
While some people outside of India erroneously assume that the Hindu belief in reincarnation means that Indians do not value life as much as other people (since Hindus trust that they will be born into another life after this one), Boo takes pains to counter this belief and show that life is incredibly precious to the residents of the Annawadi slum. This is apparent in the Annawadians' struggles to live, despite that fact that those outside of Annawadi—including the government, police, and hospitals—seem determined to make their lives precarious and unimportant. It's also apparent in the fact that instead of desensitizing the Annawadians to death, the high number of losses in this community make death even harder for the Annawadians to bear. The deaths of their friends affect the children of Annawadi greatly, even if they learn to put up a stoic front so that they are not targeted by others who see displays of emotion as weak. While some residents succumb to the hopelessness of constant death (like Sanjay, who commits suicide after the murder of his friend Kalu), others manage to prevail in impossible circumstances—Manju, for example, must put the suicide of her best friend Meena out of her mind in order to protect her own desire to live. Boo grapples with the many suicides in Annawadi, implying that these suicides testify to the appalling circumstances of the slum, rather than weakness or disregard for life. Boo presents these suicides as lamentable, but understandable, in light of the fact that Annawadians live difficult lives with little chance of improvement, despite their hard work.
Even with all the pain that comes from life in this slum, Boo shows that most of the residents of Annawadi believe that life is valuable and should be lived. Some members of the Annawadian community are optimistic about their futures, thinking that life will get better if they give it a chance to improve. Sunil, one of the garbage scavengers, continues to hope that he will get taller and become more successful if he can just collect more garbage each day. Others are more pragmatic, acknowledging that circumstances in Annawadi are often harsh but that life is still worthwhile on its own merits. Abdul, who faces horrible and unjust legal circumstances in addition to the difficulty of his day-to-day life, thinks that any life would "still be a life," even if that life were filled with nothing but abuse and beatings. In the end, Boo asserts that life is hard in Annawadi, but it is neither worthless nor futile. Whenever possible, the people of Annawadi keep hope alive that their lives can still improve. Under these conditions, life is meaningful simply because it holds the chance of something good happening.

Chapter 2 Quotes
In the West, and among some in the Indian elite, this word, corruption, had purely negative connotations; it was seen as blocking India's modern, global ambitions. But for the poor of a country where corruption thieved a great deal of opportunity, corruption was one of the genuine opportunities that remained.

In calmer moments, Manju could argue that parents were terrified of losing control of their children in a city where dangers seemed to be multiplying-a city they didn't fully understand. And as much as Manju hated violence of any stripe, the odd thrashing, like the odd axe blow, could be effective in keeping a child close to home.
Related Characters: Manju Waghekar
She was less and less sure she wanted to go to Vasai, less and less sure her husband would live to get there. She wanted a more hygienic home here, in the name of her children's vitality… On the floor she wanted ceramic tiles like the ones advertised on the Beautiful Forever wall - tiles that could be scrubbed clean, instead of broken concrete that harbored filth in each striation. With these small improvements, she thought her children might stay as healthy as children in Annawadi could be.

Chapter 11 Quotes
"All murders we detect, 100 percent success," was how Senior Inspector Patil, who ran the Sahar station, liked to put it. But perhaps there was a trick to this success rate: not detecting the murders of inconsequential people.
Succumbed to an "irrecoverable illness" was the swift conclusion of Maruti Jadhav, the inspector in charge of Kalu's case. At the morgue of Cooper Hospital, the nature of the "irrecoverable illness" was decided. Fifteen-year-old Deepak Rai, known as Kalu, had died of his tuberculosis - the same cause of death tagged to the bleeding scavenger who had slowly expired on the road.
Related Characters: Kalu
Trying to make sense of the deaths of Kalu and Sanjay, Sunil and Abdul grew closer. Not quite friends-rather, an unnameable, not-entirely-willing category of relationship in which two boys felt themselves bound to two boys who were dead. Sunil and Abdul sat together more often than before, but when they spoke, it was with the curious formality of people who shared the understanding that much of what was said did not matter, and that much of what mattered could not be said.
Related Characters: Abdul Husain, Sunil, Kalu, Sanjay
…she kept thinking she saw smoke coming out of Meena's mouth and nose-as if the girl had set herself on fire from the inside. No, that was impossible. Rat poison only. Her mind was looping. If she screamed for help, the whole slum would know that Meena had attempted suicide, which would ruin her reputation.
Related Characters: Manju Waghekar, Meena
Once my mother was beating me, and that thought came to me. I said, "lf what is happening now, you beating me, is to keep happening for the rest of my life, it would be a bad life, but it would be a life, too.' And my mother was so shocked when I said that. She said, 'Don't confuse yourself by thinking about such terrible lives.' "
Sunil thought that he, too, had a life. A bad life, certainly—the kind that could be ended as Kalu's had been and then forgotten, because it made no difference to the people who lived in the overcity. But something he'd come to realize on the roof, leaning out, thinking about what would happen if he leaned too far, was that a boy's life could still matter to himself.

Police kill a family pet in the USA every 98 minutes... -
A rash of animal shootings by police officers nationwide has law-enforcement agencies running for cover amid growing public outrage that could force state legislatures to require greater accountability from men and women in uniform.
Police in Utah shot a family's dog while searching for a lost boy, prompting hundreds of pet owners to protest June 28 in front of the Salt Lake City Police Department headquarters. They carried signs demanding "justice for Geist," a 110-pound Weimaraner shot by a city cop within the dog's fenced-in back yard. The "missing" boy was later found sleeping in his home.
State police in West Virginia shot a family's dog June 24 as it was reportedly running away from them during a search for a suspect on adjoining property. Shots rang out even as the dog's owner was screaming for officers to hold their fire and let her put her dog inside.
In Maryland, two Baltimore police officers were charged last week with animal cruelty after one of them allegedly held down Nala, a 7-year-old Shar-Pei, while the other slit the dog's throat.
Richard Bruce Rosenthal, general counsel and co-founder of New York-based the Lexus Project, said police across the country are trending toward less tolerance and less respect for people's pets, which he sees as part of a larger trend toward more aggressive policing tactics in America.
A pet is a person's property, which should not be summarily executed for doing what dogs naturally do, which is to investigate unknown people or other dogs who approach their territory, he asserted.
"It is a growing problem and part of it is, post 9/11, our judicial system has basically trashed the Constitution under the mantle of security, and personal rights cease to exist," Rosenthal told WND.
"All over the country we have cops shooting dogs for no other reason than they can. And our courts and our elected officials, rather than protecting the citizens and the Constitution, simply see it as a way to take more power and more money. I think it's a civil-rights violation. I think it's a constitutional violation."
The West Virginia incident happened June 24 in a rural area of Mason County. A paramilitary unit scoured the woods bordering the property of 32-year-old Ginger Sweat. Her dog, a 6-year-old beagle-basset hound named Willy Pete, woke up from an afternoon snooze on his porch to the sound of eight officers coming out of the adjacent woods. Willy Pete scampered off to investigate. Sweat, who was putting one of her two young children down for a nap, looked out the window and saw an officer with a police dog on a leash emerge from the woods and ran out outside pleading with the officers not to shoot her dog, begging them to let her bring it inside.
The officer shot once, missing Willy Pete but sending the dog, which had arthritis in its back legs, running back toward Sweat, she told the Charleston Daily Mail. Three more shots were fired in the dog's direction, toward Sweat and the home where her two children were sleeping, Sweat told the local newspaper. Willy Pete was hit three times and fell dead in a pool of blood behind her mobile home.
The family created a Facebook page called "Justice for Willy Pete," which as of June 30 had 5,642 "likes" and hundreds of comments expressing sympathy and outrage.
The West Virginia State Police released a detailed statement late Monday night apologizing to the Sweat family but providing a conflicting version of what led up to the shooting of their dog. From the agency's perspective, Willy Pete was given a chance to back off but "growled and bared his teeth" at the officers. That's when Sgt. S.T. Harper, a 14-year veteran of the force, shot him, said spokesman Lt. Michael Baylous.
Baylous previously told WND that anytime an officer discharges his weapon, the incident comes under routine investigation.
He could not say how many times the department's officers have shot and killed someone's pet over the past year.
"It's so rare; I can't think of the last time it happened," Baylous said. "I have no knowledge of what is happening nationwide, but it's not a regular occurrence with the West Virginia State Police. We shoot far less animals than we do people who are a threat."
But State House Delegate Mike Manypenny, D-Taylor, said he believes it would be a mistake to view the killing of Willy Pete as an isolated incident in West Virginia. He said it happens more often than most people realize, but most cases go unreported in the media. He's launched an investigation and is pushing for new rules that would hold officers accountable. He sent an email to the State Police seeking more information on the June 24 incident in Mason County.
If he doesn't get the answers he is seeking, Manypenny said he's prepared to take the next step.
"I hope we can get some answers because we do need to find out what happened so we can make sure it doesn't happen again," Manypenny told WND. "I'm asking them to introduce a rule on nonlethal methods that can be used against domesticated animals, and if they won't do it voluntarily, we need the legislature to require them to introduce a rule for nonlethal action."
Manypenny said he believes that if the story told by the Sweat family is accurate, the police overreacted.
"I don't know how far we'd want to go to put provisions in the law requiring unpaid leave or dismissal of an officer if they're found to put people's pets in endangerment, but yeah, I think it was totally uncalled for," he sad. "But I want to call for an investigation rather than just shoot from the hip when we don't have all of the details of what went on. So far, I've put in an email requesting some more transparency from the police."

Doubt my claims to being a product whore? Well doubt no more as I made my way out on a rainy evening all the way to Burnaby's Metrotown mall for an exclusive evening of pampering, champagne and discounted beauty products alongside my favourite blogger buddies all in the name of beauty. Talk about sacrifice.
Just in case my dripping sarcasm is lost on you, I'll stop being silly and just gush about how lucky I felt to be invited to an exclusive after hours party at Kiehl's Metrotown. Myself and 10 other bloggers were in attendance to learn more about this international beauty brand, and to you know, get free samples.
I'm sad to say that I had never stepped into this Kiehl's location before, but I must say that next time you're in Metrotown, definitely take a side trip inside as the decor alone is worth the visit. Every Kiehl's store is filled with interesting art and vintage finds that speak to its quirky and rich history. I especially liked the large chandelier hanging from the ceiling and the apothecary shelves lining one wall - wouldn't that just be such a neat way to store accessories and shoes?
Since many of us weren't totally familiar to the brand, Kiehl's had a full staff in store of super friendly, gorgeous consultants who each did personal consultations with all us guests, advising us on how to resolve each of our unique skin issues.
For myself, though I have pretty good normal skin, I am nearing an age where I do have to watch out for those first signs of aging. Primarily, my concerns were moisturizing, brightening and preventing age spots and fine lines. I'm already pretty good with the sunscreen, moisturizing and exfoliating, but what I hadn't realized was that I needed to use a serum in my daily routine. While regular creams will moisturize the top layers of your skin, a serum is formulated to penetrate the inner layers and help to provide total moistening of your skin.
For my skin's needs, my consultant recommended I try their Midnight Recovery concentrate which is one of their miracle line products. I also snagged a bunch of samples of their Ultra Facial cream and the Abyssine Repairing serum, which I've been using the last couple days to amazing results!
While Kiehl's products are of the highest quality, they are also quite pricy, so when purchasing I would strive to get the most value for your dollar. The nightly serums and treatments are a great way to invest in a long-lasting product that works. The highly popular Midnight Recovery and their new Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Solution for hyperpigmentation both sell for around $50-60, which for products of this type isn't that extravagant!
I ended up purchasing the Midnight Recovery serum as well as some of their popular lip balm and a bunch of a free samples as seen above. What really topped the evening off though was that Kiehl's was kind enough to give each of us bloggers a free full sized bottle of their Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Solution!! I am so excited to try this product as I have a few pesky age spots I desperately want to get rid of. Clear luminous skin here I come!!
Yes they do! I gave Mr. Artist a bunch of samples for their face wash and moisturizer.
I agree that Kiehl's has great customer service but I prefer the Robson location. The staff I find is more knowledgable about products and seem more willing to help compared to ones at Holts and other free-standing stores. In fact, I recognize at least two women in your photo that work at the Robson location! They are so helpful while not being intrusive!
That Kiehl's night out was so much fun. I bought the sunscreen and got a sample of one of their moisturizers, and I'm hooked.
For the past month I've been using the clearly corrective serum daily, and I have to say that it's done wonders on my skin!
Delicious dining care of Drew Cooks!

Kate Middleton And Meghan Markle To Reunite Again
By Joanna Mazewski	 Last updated Nov 8, 2019
Forget all of those reports that indicate the Cambridges are feuding with the Sussexes. That's because Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle with their respective husbands will be coming together again for a special appearance this coming Remembrance Day. As a matter of fact, reports say that this upcoming weekend royal fans will get to see multiple outings from the "fab four." Here's what you need to know.
Meghan Markle Encouraging Prince Harry To Open Up More About The Past
All About Prince Harry and Prince William's Supposed Feud
For the past year, the tabloid media has speculated about the possible rift between Prince William and his brother, Prince Harry. Apparently, it all began when William supposedly hinted to Harry that he might have been moving a little too fast in his relationship with Meghan Markle back in 2016. Needless to say, Prince Harry did not appreciate his brother's choice of words. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle debuted their relationship that same year, announced their engagement in 2017 and tied the knot at Windsor Castle in 2018. The couple also welcomed their first child into this world, a boy named Archie Harrison in May of this year.
And while the Duke and Duchess of Sussex certainly have a lot to celebrate these days, they have certainly been keeping their distance from Prince William and Kate Middleton. And while both Meghan and Kate have made an effort to do joint appearances at royal engagements and at least look like they are being friendly to one another, the same can't be said about the royal brothers. As a matter of fact, Prince Harry himself even hinted of a possible rift between him and William during a very heartfelt interview with an ITV camera crew back in October.

Royal News: Kate Middleton And Meghan Markle To Reunite Again
Now, while no one knows what is really going on between William and Harry behind closed doors, one thing is for certain: the boys will be forced to be at least a few feet away from one another during the Remembrance Day festivities. Because if there is anything that we have learned about the royal family, it's that appearances certainly do matter, right? Here's hoping that at least William or Harry will be able to crack a smile on this day!
Come back for all the latest royal news and Meghan Markle updates right here.

LBO France sells Worldwide Flight Services to Platinum Equity
Paris and Los Angeles, April 27th, 2015 – LBO France today announced the signing of an agreement to sell Worldwide Flight Services ("WFS") to Platinum Equity.
WFS is the world's largest cargo handler and a leading global provider of ground handling and technical services. Today it is present at over 140 major airports in more than 22 countries on five continents. WFS serves 300 airlines globally, including the handling of four million tons of cargo and 50 million airline passengers per annum. The company has grown from a family business to a global leader in its fields and now employs 12,000 staff worldwide.
LBO France acquired WFS in 2006 from French construction leader Vinci. Over the 2006-2015 period, WFS has pursued its development in fast-growing geographies such as the Middle-East, Asia and Africa and in complementary businesses (e.g. VIP services, management of cruise terminals, including in Hong Kong). Most recently, the Group made a strategic move in Brazil through the acquisition of a controlling stake in Orbital Group, a leading Brazilian provider of ramp, passenger and airport security services.
Platinum Equity is a global private equity firm currently investing from a $3.75 billion buyout fund focused on acquiring businesses that can benefit from the firm's operational expertise. The firm has substantial experience in transportation, logistics and distribution services, including aviation. Recently held Platinum Equity portfolio companies include: Active Aero Group, a North American provider of supply-chain solutions focused on transportation logistics for customers with sensitive or time-critical freight; and Neovia Logistics, a provider of spare parts logistics, warehouse management and fulfillment services, distribution solutions and other value-added logistics services.
Platinum Equity is working with WFS and its leadership team on a plan to ensure a smooth transition once the transaction closes, while developing initiatives to support the company's long-term growth strategy.
Proposed transaction is expected to close by end of June 2015 and is subject to customary regulatory consents and approvals.
Jérôme Guez, Partner with LBO France, declared: "We are delighted to have participated in the growth of WFS alongside its management and teams, and particularly to have partnered with them in the pursuit of its international expansion in the Middle-East, Africa, Asia and South America. Their work and commitment was instrumental in recent successes despite a challenging environment. We believe that WFS is now optimally positioned to capitalize on future growth opportunities while preserving a profitable business model. We have full confidence that Platinum Equity is the ideal partner to successfully pursue this work."
Olivier Bijaoui, Executive Chairman, President and CEO of WFS, added: "We view our future collaboration with Platinum Equity as a unique opportunity to grow our business and explore new opportunities, leveraging on our solid foundations and second-to-none experience. Their financial strength and M&A expertise will be of great support in our acquisition strategy and help the management to write a new and successful page of WFS history."
Bastian Lueken, Head of Platinum Equity's European investment team, concluded: "We are excited about the prospects for WFS and look forward to working with Olivier and the management team to take the next step in the company's global growth and evolution. We have a great deal of experience in transportation and logistics and we share the company's commitment to providing world class service to its customers."
Sycomore Corporate Finance acted as financial advisor to LBO France and Mayer Brown acted as legal advisor. Scotto & Associés was legal advisor to the management. Deloitte Transaction Services and Roland Berger provided vendor financial and strategic due diligence reports, respectively. Benoit & Associés also assisted LBO France in this transaction.

Q: SQL Server job suddenly running for hours instead of few min without making any changes I have a SQL Server agent job I am running it daily from 3 years without any issue, generally the job takes less than 10 min. The last 2 days it's running for long time more 4 hours which is extremely slowly although I didn't make any changes, also I don't have any other job running that it can slow down my job. The procedure I am executing looks like this. I drop first my table then insert new values from another view.

I have been checking many threads and investigating how this issue appeared without making any changes but I didn't find a clear explanation.
Any ideas what could be the problem ? Thank you.

The application of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology in hospitals is modest primarily due to cost and policy issues. Similar to the evolution of other electronic technologies, unit costs for components have been dramatically reduced in the past few years. Despite the reduction in costs, RFID technology has not yet achieved the tipping point of economic rationality for adoption at most healthcare organizations. Although the technology has been primarily applied to asset management and supply chain applications, Navy Medicine stands to gain tremendous benefit if this technology could be successfully implemented for staff and patient tracking in addition to inventory management. The purpose of this thesis was to conduct a review of RFID technology and components that could fit into the Navy Medicine's structure. The study explored the implementation requirements associated with the deployment in other industries that could be used as benchmarks for Navy Medicine implementation. Different technological architectures were described to illustrate the various techniques that could be used for creating the opportunity to automate administration, reduce errors and improve security for both patients and staff.

Scandal Promotes George Newbern to Series Regular for Final Season
By Michael Ausiello / May 15 2017, 7:04 PM PDT
Courtesy of ABC
After putting in six seasons as a Scandal recurring player, George Newbern is being promoted to a full-fledged series regular for the ABC's drama's upcoming seventh and final season, TVLine has learned.
Newbern joined Scandal in Season 1 as B-613 spy Charlie and has continued to recur through the current sixth
season, appearing in nearly 30 total episodes. Since his introduction, Charlie has (mostly) shed his shady ways, taking a job at OPA and planning a future with Quinn, his blushing bride-to-be — that is, assuming her lingering feelings for Huck don't put a damper on the big day.
His status change comes as ABC is poised to officially announce that the Shonda Rhimes-created political thriller will be heading into its final season.
Scandal's two-hour Season 6 finale airs this Thursday at 9/8c.

Q: Stop socat from terminating when other end closes I'd like to redirect an applications input and output to a unix socket and connect to that socket from another session. What I'm doing so far is the following:
On the "server" side:
socat EXEC:"command" UNIX-LISTEN:/tmp/comm

And on the "client" side:
socat UNIX-CONNECT:/tmp/comm -

It works pretty good, but as soon as the client-side socat terminates, the server terminates, too. But I'd like it to keep running and reconnect later... How do I accomplish that?

A: You must use fork option, which handle a connection in a child process, make the parent process attempt to handle more connections.
In first terminal:
$ socat - UNIX-LISTEN:/tmp/comm,fork

In second terminal:
$ socat UNIX-CONNECT:/tmp/comm -

Press Ctrl+C in second terminal, switch to the first terminal and see your server is still running.

Thus far we have witnessed the launching of the Super Dimensional Fortress, a spacecraft that crashed on Earth and was refurbished by humans, and the subsequent conflict that followed as a race of giant aliens, the Zentraedi, came looking for the ship. A full scale war took place between Earth and the aliens, some of whom became sympathetic to the Earth after hearing young Lynn Minmay's singing—a phenomenon unknown in Zentraedi experience. Collaborating with their new Earth allies, Zentraedi forces, under General Breetai, had fought against the massive main fleet, devastating Earth and leaving it as a barren wasteland. While some of the Zentraedi were able to coexist with humans, their warlike nature led to skirmishes on the new Earth, with the remaining Zentraedi opposition under Lord Khyron continues to plot the destruction of the human race, and what remains of the SDF-1. The only thing standing in his way is his group's lack of protoculture, a power source that they rely upon to produce their weapons and power their ships.
As disc 6 opens, Rick is sent to New Detroit to secure the last remaining protoculture chamber, but meets unexpected resistance from Lynn Kyle, who wants the chamber left in civilian hands. Lord Khyron seizes the opportunity to liberate the chamber from the Micronians, as it is the only method the Zentraedi have of returning to their full size. In the process, Minmay and Kyle are taken hostage and offered up in exchange for command of the SDF-1. Rick is called to the rescue, which spark's Minmay's feelings for him once again, leaving Lisa in an awkward position.
As the remainder of The Macross Saga unfolds, the relationships between Minmay, Lisa and Rick may ultimately be decided, as Khyron plans his last assault on humankind, and set us up for the next stage, The Robotech Masters.
As has been the case with this entire series, the voice acting is my primary complaint; it is too reserved at times for the action that is taking place. The storyline also develops a few holes during these episodes, with some glaring continuity issues, some of which could be expected by the upcoming switch to a completely different animation style; however, some could easily have been avoided. The relationships are more fleshed out, which was nice for a change, but I'm hoping my assumptions that these characters will be simply dropped in the next installments. We still get plenty of battle sequences, though they are not on as big a scale as we have seen previously. I am looking forward to more.
Image Transfer Review: Disc 6 of Robotech is again fairly consistent with its predecessors, however these episodes seem to exhibit almost continual color shifts throughout each episode, even within scenes. The digital graininess remains, though to a lesser degree than some of the discs. Colors vary significantly in saturation and hue between shots, leaving the same characters with vastly different appearances from shot to shot. Credit sequences suffer the most with massive rainbowing and aliasing, and the image does appear well zoomed in at times. Watchable, but not that impressive.
Audio Transfer Review: Mono audio is presentable, but suffers from occasional distortions. Frequency and dynamic range is limited. Dialogue is easily discernable, with most of the complaints originating in the source.
Extras Review: Discs 5 and 6 are available individually or in a box set containing an additional disc of extras, so supplements are limited to trailers for Gasaraki, Burn Up Excess, Generator Gawl, Gunsmith Cats, Princess Nine and A.D. Police, accessable from the trailers submenu.
The highly popular Robotech series continues to entertain despite transfer quality issues. Those concerned over supplemental features may wish to look at the box sets available instead individual discs.
