If you're one of those people that hate going to hospitals unless you're almost dying, the best thing you can do is stick to prevention. And our iPhone makes it easier for us, controlling our workouts, sleep, calorie intake, heartbeat... But if we've also got an app of the likes of My Blood Pressure Readings, even better.
With this app, we can monitor our blood pressure history, taking note of when it increases or decreases, controlling our evolution during a certain period of time. It looks very similar to any other native iOS app, with the menu on the lower part of the screen, although its design could do with an overhaul.
All the data have to be input manually, which can be a handicap as it requires the user to be very consistent. But if you have to control your pressure due to any kind of problem or illness, it's definitely a great app to write down the data and view the info graphically. It's easy-to-use, multi-user, and with touch controls to access all the information easily and comfortably, as well as the possibility to share your results.
What is a normal blood pressure?
Before we continue, you should know that blood pressure figures can be divided into systolic and diastolic, and what can consider normal varies depending on the age and sex of the person. Systolic pressure is the maximum value when your heart beats and diastolic pressure is the maximum value when your heart rests between beats.
In general, we could establish the ideal blood pressure as 120/80 mmHg, where the first value corresponds to systolic pressure and the second to diastolic pressure, but the normal range is much wider. In any case, if you take your blood pressure on a regular basis and write it down on the app, you'll easily be able to view when you've got high or low blood pressure.


text: California DUI Blog 2011 July California DUI Offender Sentenced in Hit and Run Accident Previous Post | Next Post California DUI Offender Sentenced in Hit and Run Accident Posted By Thomas V. Wallin || 14-Jul-2011 A Santa Cruz County man has been sentenced to two years in prison for a hit-and-run crash that left an acclaimed professional cyclist permanently injured, the Contra Costa Times reports. Superior Court Judge Paul Marigonda stated that Thomas Legan's history of driving offenses-including two DUI arrests and a reckless driving conviction-influenced the sentence he received. According to authorities, the California DUI offender had been drinking the night of the July 2009 accident, in which he struck a motorcycle while driving on Highway 1 and kept going. The rider, Taylor Tolleson of Santa Cruz, was thrown 800 feet and suffered permanent neurological damage and other injuries. As this case highlights, DUI offenders with prior convictions are subject to much greater California DUI penalties. In addition, Involvement in a traffic accident while driving under the influence is an enhancement to the regular CA DUI charge. If this enhancement factor is proven and if the California DUI charge is a felony, then the DUI defendant faces an additional 90 days to 1 year in jail. Given the serious consequences, DUI defendants with prior California DUI convictions and who face sentencing enhancements are wise to consult with an experienced California DUI attorney who will attempt to negotiate a plea bargain, resulting in lesser charges and less severe consequences.

Not for Profit Board Membership: Part 1 of 2-What to Ask Before Joining the Board
Here at Sackrider & Company, we have a strong culture of community service. Collectively, employees here serve on 25 not-for-profit boards in the Wabash Valley! We are also frequently asked to serve on advisory and special projects committees to provide financial and business expertise. Not-for-profit entities require all types of expertise in order to successfully manage their organizations and they are always looking for great volunteers. If you are interested in serving on a not-for-profit board, look for an organization that has a mission you feel passionate about furthering. You can often start by volunteering in a smaller capacity and familiarizing yourself with the culture and operations of the entity before jumping into the commitment of board membership.
So, now you're ready to join the board, or you have already been asked to join, now what? There are several questions you should ask before jumping in. These questions will help you know what the expectations of board members are and what your time and money commitments will be.
So, now you're ready to join the board, or you have already been asked to join, now what? There are several questions you should ask before jumping in. These questions will help you know what the expectations of board members are and what your time and money commitments will be.
- How often does the board meet? Many boards meet on the same day each month, semi-monthly, or quarterly. If the regular meetings are not conducive to your schedule, make sure that this will not be a problem. Ask if attending via conference call is an option. Perhaps service on a committee within the board will still allow you to be an active board member. Many boards do have an attendance policy, such as 75% of meetings, but they often allow for exceptions if the member is engaged in other ways.
- What is the financial commitment? Many entities require that board members contribute a certain or suggested dollar amount per year. Make sure that you understand what the amount is and whether it must be paid at a particular time during the year. Having 100% of board members contributing to the entity is often important for organizations which are making grant requests.
- What is the expected time commitment? Many organizations expect board members to also serve on a committee (i.e. finance, governance, fundraising, etc). This can mean additional meeting every month or two, so make sure that this will also fit into your busy schedule.
- What is the board's role in fundraising? The answer to the question will vary significantly from organization to organization.
- What is time length of time on a board term? This may be as short as one year and stretch to 3 years or more. Many organizations also limit the number of consecutive terms one may serve on the board.
- Does the entity have a Directors' & Officers' insurance policy? Board members do have a fiduciary duty to the organization, so you want to make sure that you are covered in a worst-case scenario.
- What is the financial status of the organization? It is a good idea to ask to look at recent financial statements or tax returns of the organization. It is alright to join an organization that is struggling financially, but it is best to know that going in.
- What part does the organization envision that you will play on the board? Make sure that the role the organization expects for you to fill on the board is consistent with your capabilities and that you are willing to perform the tasks requested.

I bought this on good faith. The foundation I was using before left my skin greasy, and I was always seeking a matte finish. When I saw an advertisement for the L'Oreal Magic Nude Liquid Powder I was sold. It's pretty new, so reviews are scarce. Well, when I bought it anyway.
I've had it for about 2 weeks now, and I was able to form some pretty solid opinions on it early on.
I chose the shade Classic Ivory 312, but it's a smidge too dark, but I can still work with it. There's a really nice color range, and mine isn't even the lightest (3rd to lightest, I think).
- Literally is Liquid Powder- Shortly after blending, it turns to powder like texture.
- One less product- I don't use powder with this foundation.
- It blends pretty well, and evenly.
- Medium coverage.
- Little to no scent (also, no sunscreen scent!),
- Not streaky.
- It doesn't dry as quick as you think it would. You can dab it on the 5 points of your face, and then then blend it out.
- Staying power is amazing. At the end of the day it's still there. I never once sweat it off.
- No excess oil. There was a little bit, but not enough to make me apply powder. It looked natural.
- Stings- This one shocked me, and I never had this happen with a foundation before. If you have an open sore on your face (or hand), this foundation will make it sting until it is blended.
- The bottle suggests that you DO NOT apply with a brush or sponge (which stinks when you consider the next con).
- Extremely liquidy. Borderline water consistency. Sometimes I pour too much, and it's already all over my hand so I can't put any back.
- Not very build able.
- .91 Fl Oz instead of the standard 1 Fl Oz.
- If you have any dry patches they will show over time, but not as bad as 'the other' foundation I was using. I would be careful if you have dry skin.
- No pump
I bought mine for about $11 at Target, and overall I recommend it. If you want a foundation that gives you a matte finish, and lasts a long time (who doesn't?) I think this would be a good foundation to try. It is a bit pricey for a drugstore item, but it exceeded my expectation. All the notes I mentioned above are things that I noticed on the first few times trying the product out, and it's remained consistent.
I love not having to apply a powder. That's one less product not on my face.
Sorry for the lack of swatches. I have a cyst on my swatch hand that I'm getting checked out so you wont be seeing any swatches until I get that removed. There are plenty of swatches of the product out there. I'll link a few HERE, HERE (this swatch is really accurate to my experience), and HERE (you can see the consistency in this one).
PS; the other foundation that I was talking about is my Maybelline Fit Me foundation.
Have you had the chance to try it out? If so, what do you think?

For the first release on his new label, Touch From A Distance, Berghain and PBar stalwart Nick Hoppner has recruited Holding Hands chief and sometime Scissor and Thread regular Desert Sound Colony. The London-based producer is in fine form throughout the EP, serving up a trio of top-notch cuts. First up on the A-side is the punchy, deep electro-breaks rumble of "Fast Life", which is quickly followed by the deep space alien broken beats and bombastic UK garage bass of "Somehow I Talk". Over on the flip, the producer's UK bass influences are fused with the futurist intent of Detroit and the rubbery funk of South African Kwaito on "Finger Files", while EP closer "Glixen (feat Baby Rollen)" peppers a jazzy groove with rumbling bass and mangled organ chords.

any people these days are simply too busy, caught up with work and family
that when it's time to do that one chore that needs doing - the laundry - they
wish there was a simpler way of doing it. That's where you come in. Dirty clothes
will be your business - and it's a potentially big business - because everybody
has dirty clothes, laundry and ironing to do.
This is a business you could run from your home, provided you have a large
enough basement or spare rooms that you can use to store all the clothes without
having to carry them upstairs and down! If you don't then you could rent a shop
or building for this business. Your biggest investment would be the washers
and dryers but other than the customer service counter at the front, the rest
of the area doesn't need costly renovation. You basically just need lots of
You may need to hire temps or permanent staff, depending on how fast you work.
This is a great family business where everybody pitches in and helps. It would
be just like doing the family's laundry - a large, large family, that is! And
the money will literally come with each bucket of dirty clothes.

My name is Christina and I'm a portrait and wedding photographer in Victoria, B.C. My goal is to not just take photos, but to capture the the love you have for each other and those around you. I photograph unobtrusively so can relax and be yourselves. After all, a natural smile will look better than a forced one, so I never make you hold still and freeze like you did during your school photo days.
I have won several high-profile international awards for our wedding photography, including three top 10 placements with the International Society of Professional Wedding Photographers and 22 Lifetime Fearless awards. In 2012 we were ranked #2 and in 2014 #3 in Canada with the Professional Wedding Photographers of Canada organization. However, our biggest source of pride are the awesome reviews from the people we've photographed and our five-star ratings on Google, Wedding Wire and Yelp.

Jonathan, Graduate Technical Consultant
Computer Science, Bristol
"GRB were the most professional recruitment service that I had any exposure to during my job search. They clearly maintain a solid working relationship with their clients and understand their requirements fully. Before each interview, I felt like I had been given clear and useful guidance on how best to prepare myself for each particular opportunity. I truly appreciate the attention to detail and the support that GRB consistently provided throughout what can sometimes be a stressful experience."
Chloe, Graduate HR Coordinator
Business Studies with French, Manchester
"By far the best graduate recruitment agency. They were always working hard to try and find availability for me. They helped me throughout every stage in the interview process, giving me tips and providing feedback. I received regular calls to find out how my interviews went and received a lot of encouragement. I would not hesitate in recommending the GRB to all graduates."
Diana, Graduate IT Support Account Manager
Economics and Business Management, Sussex
"GRB prepared me well for the interviews and presentations which resulted in me getting a Graduate Product Consultant job. I was very pleased with how GRB went through the whole recruitment process with me. It was easy to get along with my consultant and to communicate. She was very helpful in terms of all necessary preparations for interviews and presentations. She has been patient, well-mannered and enthusiastic about getting a job for me. It was such a pleasure to cooperate with her. I appreciate all the help and want to say massive thank you."

has anyone used one. i am scared to use one. i get spasms so easily and fear it may set them off. but the codeine is killing my bowels.
Daughter finds hers helps a lot and even goes to school with it on sometimes! You cant do any harm putting the pads 'in the wrong place'. She finds the inner thigh at the top ok
Hi saxon! What is the make of your machine? Shall get detailed info from daughter in about half an hour when she wakes up (its half term!). She uses hers quite a bit. Also does yours have 2 or 4 pads?
Ok, Steph says, please dont be scared! Then she says that for her now the best place is above the pubic bone (the one at the front!) and that she uses the 2 pads there.Side by side and not touching. (One has to think about pad placement and removal due to the hair though !!!) Put the pads on first whith the machine SWITCHED OFF. Then switch it on with the most low, gentle setting that your machine has. Yes, the period pain setting one is good, but GENTLE to begin with. Its an unusual feeling, like gentle buzzing. It shouldnt set off any contracting of the bladder muscle as its not strong enough - even on highest setting! The TENS machine is designed to 'confuse' and 'override' the pain-sensation nerves, and wont affect the 'make-muscles-work' nerves; although very high settings can make the little muscles directly under the skin wiggle a bit! We hope that you find relief from it, be confident! The effect is a bit like rubbing your knee after youve knocked it - it eases the pain. Let us know how you get on!! Oh, the injured muscle bit - the skeletal muscles are different from smooth bladder muscles. Plus, of course, in IC the muscle is not injured it is the bladder inner surface that is poorly.

Originally published in SLAM 165
SLAM: Tell us a little about your hometown.
Jason Thompson: I was raised in Mount Laurel, NJ. I was born in Cooper Hospital in Camden. Just raised around the East Coast—my mom's from Willingboro, NJ, and my dad's from Philly. Everyone knows everyone from South Jersey. Since there are no sports teams there, it's known to [root for] Philly, so I grew up a Sixers fan, Eagles fan, Phillies fan.
SLAM: Did you have a favorite basketball player back then?
JT: Yeah, even though I didn't get to watch him growing up, I was a big Dr. J fan, Sixers-wise. As I got older, I was an Allen Iverson fan. Just for him to be so productive as a scorer and to be so small, it showed the heart that he had and the talent that he had.
SLAM: Play any other sports as a kid?
JT: Oh yeah, I played tons. I played soccer. I played football with Pop Warner. Also did cross-country. I did track. I actually played soccer all the way through middle school.
SLAM: What position were you?
JT: I was a right striker.
SLAM: A goal scorer.
JT: A scorer, man, for sure.
SLAM: You had a crazy growth spurt in high school, right?
JT: Yeah, I grew nine inches in high school. I was 5-11 my freshman year, 6-3 my sophomore year, 6-6 my junior year and 6-8 my senior year.
SLAM: Was it tough to adapt your style of play to your changing height?
JT: It was kinda crazy 'cause I was always taller than my peers in grade school. I stopped growing in middle school and became the same height as them, but I still had big feet. So I was kind of off balance—I was falling on the floor, and I was like, Man, I hope I grow into my body. Then I started growing more, started changing sneakers, but I was still a guard during my first season in high school. And then my last two years I took those guard skills and had to establish a post game because I was the tallest guy on the team. So I just put it all together my last two years and in college.
SLAM: That's kind of late to learn post moves.
JT: Yeah, it was, because I was coming off screens and breaking records by shooting three-pointers. Now all of a sudden, in my junior and senior year, I'm more worried about double-doubles rather than my first year, when I was like, I'm gonna make the most threes in school history or something like that. It was a tale of four years.
SLAM: Is there a specific place along the way that was really important to your development?
JT: Just the courts I played on outside. Growing up on the East Coast, it's cold. But I remember going outside when it was freezing cold, and still getting shots up, just trying to practice my craft. Even though the weather wasn't the best, I still tried to get exercise. I maybe used to lie to my parents a little bit saying I finished my homework just so I could play with the guys on the court a little bit and then finish when I get back. There was a court on my driveway, and then there was a court that everyone used to go to that was a couple blocks down the street. On that one you had the older guys, the adults, and we'd be going against them.
SLAM: Was it tough taking on the older guys like that?
JT: Yeah, but it ended up helping out. Over the years I always played up, so to go against guys like that—it just shows how much generations have changed. I go out there now and there's no one out there. You hear echoes, and there's weeds on the basketball court. I remember back then, if you lost a game you wouldn't be able to play until tomorrow, so you'd have to get a big lineup. Nowadays there's no one out there.
SLAM: Is there a specific jersey that you remember wearing a lot as a kid?
JT: Oh man, it's actually fitting. The first authentic jersey that I ever got, my mother got me, and it was a Kings Chris Webber jersey. I'll never forget, she left a pen inside the washing machine and it got ink all on it. And I loved that jersey so much—it had a uniqueness to it—I still wore it a couple times. Then to get drafted to the Kings was kind of fitting.

Already one of the most eagerly anticipated events of the coming summer, Swedish giants Axwell Λ Ingrosso are set to headline their own London show at Creamfields iconic new venue, The Steel Yard, during the May bank holiday. Now, the event has taken on a whole load of extra spice with a simply mammoth supporting cast announced for the former Swedish House Mafia heavyweights.
Joining Axwell and Sebastian Ingrosso will be both Third Party, and Martin Solveig. It will be the second time the duo have supported the Swedes in the Steel Yard, having joined them for their Liverpool show back in November 2016. Also announced are dance legends Faithless, who will be sure to ensure the people of London suffer a dose of "Insomnia", and Don Diablo, who has been making huge strides in the dance world over the past few years, launching his very own Hexagon label, and rising to up to #15 in DJ Mag's Top 100 list.
The event will take place on Sunday 28th May at London's Victoria Park, inside the metal dome structure that first launched at 2016's Creamfields festival. Since then, the venue has earned rave reviews for its innovative design, and whopping capacity. Axwell Λ Ingrosso's show will come 24 hours after Eric Prydz headlines the same venue, completing a full 'Swedish weekend' for the people of the UK. The gig will kickstart yet another exciting summer for the duo, who are scheduled to headline the mainstage at Ultra Music Festival in Miami next weekend, and have two New York shows already lined up over the coming days.
With tickets still available for this event, be sure you nip in NOW to grab your place at one of the hottest dates in the 2017 dance calendar before they inevitably sell out. Taking to social media earlier to announce the news, Ingrosso tweeted the following:

Short Story by: ramrege
Rishabh and Shweta were driving through the isolated streets of Mulund, when few guys came in front of their car and waved to them to stop. Rishabh almost immediately applied the brakes to the car. The car screeched to a halt. One of the gentlemen came over, knocked on the window of the car and motioned to him to open it. Rishabh slowly rolled down the window.
"Mr Rishabh, it has been a long time since we met"
"Yes, Munnabhai, I was out of town for over a month."
"I understand your moves. You are conveniently out of town when you have obligations to fulfill"
"No Munnabhai, I am not evading your obligations. I had urgent matters to attend"
"Shut up, you think you can take me for a ride"
"Munnabhai, I request you to believe me. I was in Pune for some work"
"You stayed in Hotel Regency and did nothing. You did not have any appointments. You did not meet anyone. You think you can fool me. Do you?"
Rishabh was stunned to know that Munnabhai had these details. His evasive act had been detected.
"Rishabh, this is my last warning to you. If you do not pay me, 50 lac rupees that you owe me, you alone will be responsible for the outcome"
He pulled out a pistol as he completed the sentence. He waved it in the air twice and then pointed the barrel towards them. Sweat rolled out on Rishabh's face. He was terrified and so was Shweta. After few minutes, he lowered the gun, turned around and walked towards his car. He sat in his car and drove off.
For a few minutes, no one spoke. Rishabh slowly started the ignition and drove the car towards their home. His mind went back a few years. They had a dream of starting a new venture. Their plan was to manufacture soft toys and then export them to the international retailers. To fund their dream, they borrowed 1 crore from Munnabhai. Their plan went well for the few years. Sales increased, so did the profits.
But this was short-lived. Recession struck and affected the whole world. To their misfortune, this was the second worst in the century. International retailers began collapsing like a pack of cards. The demand for their products waned. The struggling retailers demanded lowered prices. The Chinese firms were able to provide it. But they could not. Their business collapsed and Rs 50 lacs still remained unpaid. No one was willing to buy their business.
After few minutes, they reached their home. Rishabh sat on the couch, thinking deeply. He was probably scrambling over the few options that they had. He was staring at the wall opposite him and his eyes fell on Prakash's photograph. Prakash was Rishabh's childhood friend.
"Shweta, come over here for a second"
"Yes, tell me"
"Look at Prakash's photo. Doesn't he look very similar to me?"
"Yes he does."
"You know, in our school, many people used to mistake us as biological brothers, because we looked similar. I never knew that it would help me in such a way"
"What do you mean?"
"It is a bit risky but it is our last resort to get out of the mess that we have created"
"What are you thinking?"
"I will take advantage of our similar faces. I will call Prakash to meet me at our school. That place is completely isolated at night."
"I will then kill him and disfigure his face. I will change our clothes and leave the body to be discovered. The body will be identified as mine."
"Meanwhile, I will undergo a plastic surgery and have a new face. You will collect the insurance proceeds. I will come to your life as your childhood friend. You will pretend to start a new life and then we leave happily ever after "
"Great Plan"
"All I need is your support"
"You have my support in any form and at any time".
Early next morning, Rishabh called Prakash.
"Hey Prakash, what's up"
"Hey Rishabh, good morning, what makes you call me so early in the morning."
"I realized that we have not met for a long time"
"You said it. Let's meet then"
"Does 8'o clock in the evening, behind the school garden, work with you?"
"Why do you want to meet in our school gardens? It will be dark there at 8'o clock"
"I think that is a perfect place to sit, relax and rekindle our memories of the school. I understand that the place will be dark but our nostalgia will lighten up the place"
"Perfect. It's a deal then"
"See you then, at 8"
Rishabh hung the telephone and smiled at me. They spent the day putting the final touches to their plan. The plan seemed to be foolproof to them. In the evening, Rishabh dressed up and left for the meeting.
It was the next morning that I received a call from a local person. He had discovered a body whose face was mutilated. I, along with Aditi and three constables boarded a police van and commenced their journey towards the place. The body was discovered on a lane which was parallel to the highway on the eastern section of Mulund suburb. We crossed the railway line and arrived at the scene in about 20 minutes.
The body was lying in the heap of grass about 2 feet away from the road. Its face was mutilated. A stone with sharp edges lay nearby. It was covered with blood. I could infer stone was used in the murder process. One of the constables lifted it and out in the plastic bag, to be sent for forensic examination.
Head constable Tukaram examined the body and checked the pockets of the trousers and shirts for its content. Tukaram discovered a wallet in the back pocket with credit cards, money and a PAN card. The PAN card identified the victim as Rishabh Sharma.
Aditi came up to me and asked me her patented question
"Sir, what do you think?"
"I am a bit confused. I am not able to understand why the face of the body has been mutilated."
"The killer did not want the body to be identified"
"If that was the case, then why did the killer leave the wallet in the pocket?"
"May be, he forgot to check it in a hurry"
The body was sent to the forensic lab for post mortem examination. The police checked the bushes around but apart from a cell phone, could not find anything material. The phone which they discovered was a Nokia 6400 model. The police noted the number and sent the instrument for examination.
As a next step, we went to Mr Rishabh's residence. A young middle aged woman opened the door
"Are you Mrs. Rishabh Sharma?"
"I am afraid; I have some bad news for you"
"What is the matter" The lady displayed a tense face.
"We have discovered an unidentified body. The face was mutilated but we checked the clothes and the wallet. We found the driving license and the Permanent Account Number card. These details indicate that the body belonged to your husband."
"No, Inspector, you cannot be right". She broke her bangles on the wall and removed the bindi from her face. This was a typical reaction that an Indian woman would display when she learnt that she had been widowed.
"Calm down, madam, we will find the killers."
"No Inspector, Let it be. Even if you find the killers, it will not bring back my husband"
"Our job is to catch the culprit. If you do not wish to pursue the matter, you may request the public prosecutor accordingly"
"For the moment, I have a few questions so that we can commence our work immediately"
"Sure Sir"
"What was the last time you saw your husband?"
"Yesterday evening"
"Where did he say, he was to go?"
"He mentioned that he had some work in Pune. He was to take an MSRTC bus to Pune yesterday and come back the same way this evening"
"Can you please tell us if your husband had any enemies, disputes or any conflicts?"
The lady told me the entire story of how she and her husband had borrowed money and failed to repay. She also told us, how they were being threatened by Munnabhai.
We then took leave of her allowing her to calm down and cope with her loss. As we walked out on the road, Aditi remarked "This lady is of tremendous character. It is not so easy to forget the loss of your husband and forgive the killers"
I nodded my head. "You see, we have a history of forget and forgive. We forgave the colonial rulers, we forgive our neighbors, and we forgive the people who murdered their chief ministers and prime ministers. It has become ingrained in our DNA"
As I completed my sentence, I removed from my pocket an ashtray and displayed it to Aditi.
"I managed to pick this one from their house. Please send this to the forensic lab. Request the fingerprints expert to analyze the prints and compare them with those on the stone"
Meanwhile, Shweta placed a call to the Surya hospital.
"Hello, Surya hospital, you are at the attendant's desk"
"Can you please let me know, if a patient by the name of Prakash Mehra has been admitted"
"Yes, he has. He is currently lodged in the second floor. He will undergo a plastic surgery tomorrow."
"Thank you"
We issued summons to Munnabhai and ordered him to show up at the Police Station. He showed up in the afternoon.
"Namaskar Saheb"
"So Munna, what are you up to these days?"
"Nothing much sir, I am only involved in legal businesses these days"
"Your legal businesses include stopping people's car and threatening them with your gun"
"Sir, my business is to lend money and finance dreams. But when their dreams are realised, they forget to pay their money. So we have to negotiate with them"
"And if they still do not pay them, you kill them"
"No Sir, if I kill them, then I will never recover the money. The only objective behind threatening people is that they should expedite the process of arranging the cash and treat it as highest priority"
"Do you know that Rishabh Sharma was found dead earlier in the day"
"Sir, I will never kill Rishabh for the money. Rishabh's account is insignificant for me. My top accounts run in hundreds of crores. Rishabh owed me only 50 lac rupees"
"That's fine. For the moment, I am allowing you to go. But do remember, if anything that you said is a lie then you have had it"
"Thank you, sir"
I turned to Aditi and said "Please do a couple of things for me. Firstly check with the insurance companies if Rishabh or Shweta Sharma have an insurance policy and if they do, what is the amount payable on the death?"
"Secondly, please have a few plain clothes policeman outside Rishabh's house. I want details of who goes in and who goes out. Keep a tab on this woman's activities. I want a full report of where she goes and whom she meets"
Aditi looked confused "Why are we suspecting Mrs Sharma?"
I got up. "Assume that you are a murderer. You either want to extort money or you have some other motive like revenge or ill feeling. You murder the victim. What is your next step? You have two ways. First either you have a foolproof plan, you are confident that you can evade the police or your motive is burglary. You will take the wallet away and leave the body as it is. You don't care if people find it or if people recognize it"
"In the second case, you are not confident of your plan. You suspect that you may be traced and suspected. So what would you do? Disfigure the face or destroy the body. The police won't find the body itself and even if they do it, it will take centuries for them to identify who the victim is"
"In this case, the murderer has disfigured the body but left his wallet. It is a basic mistake even for an amateur. It makes me feel that this was intentionally done"
"What do you mean?" Aditi quizzed
"The murderer left the wallet because he wanted the body identified as that of Rishabh. But he disfigured the face of the body because the body must belong to some other person. Else there is no reason to disfigure the face"
"You mean the husband and wife are faking the murder and the motive is the insurance money"
"That is also the reason why she does not want the police to pursue the murderer. I suspect her husband is the murderer. The fingerprint report can tell us a lot about this"
Aditi then left to investigate the ends that I had mentioned. It was not until the next morning that she returned. She was holding few papers in her hand. Her eyes were twinkling and she could not hold back her smile.
"What is the matter?" I asked.
"Sir, the fingerprint reports have come. The fingerprints on the stone and the fingerprint on the ashtray do match. This set of fingerprint also matches with the victim's fingerprints"
It was my turn to be a little surprised.
"How many set of fingerprints on the stone?"
"One and it belongs to the victim"
"Has the autopsy report come?"
"Yes Sir"
"What does it say?"
"The death has occurred as a result of a severe damage to the brain"
"Was there a scuffle or a fight"
"Yes, the victim's shoulder bears the injuries from nails. The victim's rib cage was also damaged. The forensic expert opined that the person who assaulted the victim could have hit strong boxes on the body"
Head Constable Tukaram who had been seated on his desk came up. "Sir, Mrs. Sharma went up to Surya hospital yesterday afternoon. She inquired for a person by the name of Prakash Mehra. The doctors informed that the patient was unconscious and hence she could not meet him. They, however mentioned that the patient would be discharged by the end of the day"
"Who is the patient and what is he suffering from?"
"We are following up the identity of the patient. However we know from our sources in the hospital that the patient was treated for plastic surgery"
"This was expected. Rishabh murders Prakash, takes his identity, undergoes plastic surgery and then comes back as Prakash or some other person. Meanwhile his wife claims insurance money. They have the money and they have Munnabhai out of the way as well. Their plan seemed to have worked well" Aditi said.
Aditi looked at me. I was staring in the space besides her. "Sir" she gently asked me. I looked at her and said slowly "I don't think it did". I got up and motioned to her to follow me "We have to get to her house very fast"
Couple of days passed by and then one day, the door bell rang. I opened the door. A gentleman stood before Shweta. He was black in complexion. His hairs were turning white. He had few pimples on his face.
"Shweta" he said.
She could not believe her eyes. The wait was finally over. She sprang ahead and hugged him. He held her in his arms and gently caressed her.
"The wait for so many months almost killed me"
"Me too"
She led him inside the house. He took a seat. She then went into the bedroom and brought a small leather bag and placed in front of him. He looked at her first and then at the bag.
"What's in there?"
"Have a look."
He opened the bag and had a look inside. The bag had money. He smiled.
"I enchased all the insurance proceeds"
"Good work"
He then looked at her. They stared at each other. He then took the initiative. The feeling today was more relaxing. The troubles were over. After relaxing for a few minutes, Rishabh got up. Shweta continued to lie on the bed. There was no hurry as such.
Suddenly, something struck her in her stomach. It must have been a sharp pointed object, like a knife. She saw that the kitchen knife was pushed in her body. She had been stabbed. She looked up to Rishabh. He was wearing his shirt and smiled very menacingly.
"Why Rishabh?" She could barely hold back my tears.
"Your Rishabh is responsible for your condition"
"What are you talking about?" The pain was now increasing. She was bleeding profusely.
"Your husband thought he was smart. He would kill me. He will go to the hospital as me, get operated and then live happily with you. So much change at the cost of my life."
"However, there was a change in the plan. I heard your plan as I was at your house, the other day. I had come to meet my friend. I was devastated to hear both of you. I had to save myself. I also thought you deserved some punishment. When I met your husband, I killed him. I went to the hospital as myself and got operated. Now I came here as Rishabh"
"There is more to it. I got all the insurance money. I made love to you. I stabbed you and you will die. Now I am rich."He bent down to me and kissed her on my lips. She resisted but she was in such pain that she could not prevent the confluence. He got up and smiled wickedly. He then reached down to the knife and rotated it in a clockwise direction. Her stomach was filled with more pain. The knife ripped through my stomach and my intestines, tearing all muscles. With a jerk, he then removed the knife and enclosed it in her hand. He then scribbled something on paper, folded the paper and kept it near the pillow.
"The police think your husband was killed by Munnabhai. But few hours from now, they will discover your body. They will also see that note" He added, pointing to the note. "You have admitted that you conspired with a child hood friend of yours, to murder your husband and claim the insurance proceeds. But your friend betrayed you and ran away with the money. You had no option but to commit suicide"
"Not so soon, Mr Prakash. Today is not your day". Outside the apartment, I stood along with Aditi, Constable Tukaram and three constables.
Before he could grasp the situation, I darted forward and held his shirt by his collar. I snatched the bag from his hand and forced him to sit on the sofa nearby. He was a smaller person by height and was aware that he could not escape. He also realized that it would be impossible to overpower me and elude five armed people.
Aditi checked the rooms and discovered Shweta in a wounded condition. She was lying on the bed in a pool of blood, stabbed through the stomach and intestines. Aditi immediately called for the ambulance.
Meanwhile I sat next to Prakash on the sofa in the drawing room.
"So, Mr Prakash Mehra, your game is up. It was clever plan but unfortunately the police have decoded it before you could flee". Prakash was silent.
"One question, before you are taken away. How did you know that Rishabh intended to kill you when he met you?"
"Rishabh was away at Pune for over a month. He had come back on that day. I thought I could meet them. So I visited their home. He had left the door ajar. They were talking about me. But before I could ring the bell and enter his home, I heard of his plan."
"So, next morning, you prepared a counter plan. You killed Rishabh and followed the plan as he would and came here as Rishabh". Prakash nodded. "Tukaram, take him away"
Aditi cleared her throat and asked me the routine question "When did you know it was Prakash and not Rishabh?"
"If Rishabh had killed Prakash, then the fingerprints on the ashtray should have watched the ones on the stone. They did it. But the fingerprints on the ashtray should not have matched with the fingerprints of the victim. Yet they did"
"It certainly meant that the victim was indeed Rishabh and the person who met Rishabh was most likely the killer. But one thing still baffled me. There should have been two sets of fingerprints on the stone. But there was one. It certainly meant that the person who met Rishabh knew in advance that he was going to be attacked and had a counter plan."
Aditi smiled as she led me out of the room.
