School Principal charged for murder over Indian school meal deaths!




The school principal and her husband have been charged with murder after 23 children died from eating pesticide-contaminated lunches in July at the school in eastern India, police said Tuesday.

The trial of Meena Kumari and her husband was expected to begin soon, said police officer Varun Kumar Sinha. They were arrested and could face the death penalty if convicted.
Investigating police officer Raj Kaushal said the principal's husband, opposition lawmaker Arjun Rai, stored pesticide at the school that was for use at his agricultural farm. The charge sheet filed in a court in Bihar state on Sunday said the chef cooked with it by mistake.
Both denied the charges and told police there was no deliberate act on their part.
The school's cooks have told authorities that the principal controlled the food for the government-provided free daily lunch. One of the cooks told police investigators that the cooking oil appeared different than usual, but that the principal told her to use it anyway.
The couple charged with murder after 23 children died from eating contaminated lunches in their school could face the death penalty if found guilty.
The children who died were between the ages of 5 and 12.
India's midday meal plan is one of the world's biggest school nutrition programs. State governments have the freedom to decide on menus and timings of the meals, depending on local conditions and availability of food rations. It was first introduced in the 1960s in southern India, where it was seen as an incentive for poor parents to send their children to school.
Although there have been complaints about the quality of the food served and the lack of hygiene, the incident in Bihar appeared to be unprecedented for the massive food program.

HERE'S 25 THINGS YOU (PROBABLY) DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE GODFATHER!


1: In the film’s opening scene, Vito is famously seen holding a cat. Amazingly this was a stray - there was no cat in the original script. Francis Ford Coppola found it while walking through the lot at Paramount Studios and wrote it into the movie. Its ludicrously loud purring muffled some of Brando’s lines, which meant they had to be looped over.


 

2: Spare a thought for actor John Marley who, during rehearsals, would "wake up" to find a fake horses head in bed with him. When the cameras rolled, without him knowing, a real horses head from a dog-food factory was used. His screams were real. Animal rights groups unsuccessfully protested the inclusion of the scene.


3: Things on screen may have been intense but off screen the actors were embroiled in, shall we say, high jinx. Marlon Brando, James Caan, and Robert Duvall spent the filming process trying to out-moon one-another. Bare buttocks were exposed during the childish game of oneupmanship until Brando showed his backside in the middle of a huge wedding-reception scene. The others conceded defeat and he was presented with a belt buckle with the words “Mighty Moon King” emblazoned.



4: George Lucas put together the “Mattress Sequence” (this montagee of crime scene snaps and headlines) as a thank you to Francis Ford Coppola for helping him fund American Graffiti. Lucas used photos from real crime scenes. The one pictured is Frank “The Enforcer” Nitti, Al Capone’s right-hand man who had not been murdered, but actually shot himself. During the scene Francis Ford Coppola's father Carmine Coppola is the piano player.

   
5: Al Pacino made just $35,000 for starring in the film (the same as James Caan and Diane Keaton and $1,000 less than Robert Duvall). However, having made runaway hits Scarecrow andSerpico after The Godfather, Pacino managed to command a $600,000 salary for The Godfather: Part II, as well as a 10 percent cut of the movie’s adjusted-gross income.

6: There are a host of 'almost cast' stories but perhaps the biggest is that Orson Welles lobbied to get the part of Don Vito Corleone, offering to lose a good deal of weight in order to get the role. Francis Ford Coppola, a huge Welles fan, had to turn him down because his mind was set on Brando.
 
7: Associate Producer Gary Fredrickson once said that Lenny Montana (Luca Brasi - pictured) told him he had worked as a Mafia bodyguard and arsonist.

8: James Caan and Al Pacino were only ten years younger than the American Jazz singer Morgana King, who played their mother. John Cazale (Fredo) was only five years younger than her.
9: Apparently, Brando agreed to play Vito Corleone on the condition that Burt Reynolds - who was being considered for Sonny - would, no longer be considered for Sonny. Brando saw poor old Burt as more of a TV star.


10: Coppola’s hiring of Brando was met with fierce opposition by playboy Paramount executive Robert Evans: “He’s crazy. F*ck him and the horse he rode in on,” was what Evans apparently said at the time.

11: This scene where Sonny beats up Carlo, took four days to shoot and featured 700 extras, the vast majority never getting a glimpse of screen time. The use of the garbage can lid was improvised while the yellow truck in the background and a wooden box on the sidewalk (pictured) are strategically placed to hide objects or buildings that didn't exist when the movie was set. The cars' wooden bumpers are an example of incredible attention to detail, because auto manufacturers of the time were using alternate materials to conserve metal for the war effort.

12: Marlon Brando wanted to make Don Corleone look "like a bulldog," so he stuffed his cheeks with cotton wool for the audition. For actual filming, he wore a mouthpiece made by a dentist; this appliance is on display in the American Museum of the Moving Image in Queens, New York. Brando spent three hours in make-up every day being fitted with the steel-bar dentures that sat below and in front of his lower teeth, with blobs of resin (known as ‘plumpers’) at either end to give him that imperious jawline.
13: James Caan also wore dental prosthetics for his role as Sonny Corleone. His ‘fangs’ were built up using quick-setting acrylic to make him look more animalistic.
14: “Mario Puzo had invented the term ‘The Godfather’ for the novel. It didn’t exist,” said author of The Godfather Effect Tom Santopietro. That's not all that was invented by Puzo. According to Francis Ford Coppola, the term "Don Corleone" is wrong. In Italian, addressing someone as "Don" is the same as addressing them as "Uncle" in English. Correct usage would be "Don Michael" or "Don Vito". Coppola says that Mario Puzo, who couldn't speak Italian, made up the idea of using "Don" with a person's last name and it stuck, totally transcending The Godfather.


15: The shooting of Moe Greene square through the eyeball was inspired by the real life death of gangster Bugsy Siegel. Special effects masters rigged actor Alex Rocco's glasses with two tubes hidden in the frames. One had fake blood in it, and the other had a BB and compressed air. When he was "shot", the compressed air fired the BB through the glasses, shattering them from the inside. The other tube then released the fake blood. Genius.

16: The most complicated scene for special effects was the death of Sonny Corleone at the Jones Beach Causeway toll plaza. James Caan's suit was rigged with 127 pouches of fake blood that exploded.



17: McCluskey's shooting was done by building a fake forehead on top of actor Sterling Hayden. A gap was cut in the middle, filled with fake blood, and was bunged up with prosthetic flesh. The plug was yanked out with fishing line, making a hole suddenly appear.
18: It's well known that Robert De Niro auditioned for a number of roles in The Godfather, alongside fellow "failures" Warren Beatty, Jack Nicholson and Dustin Hoffman. Far fewer people know, he also auditioned for the role of Sonny.
19: Opposition to the movie was spearheaded by the Italian-American Civil Rights League who began with peaceful protest — including a rally at New York’s Madison Square Garden that raised $500,000 to halt production. Things soon became a campaign of intimidation. Little surprise being as the League was headed by a real-life mobster and former contract killer Joseph Colombo (pictured).

20: Gianni Russo, the Mob-connected fixer who played Don Corleone’s abusive son-in-law Carlo Rizzi has some insight into what levels Joe Colombo, the head of the Italian-American Civil Rights League, would go to have the film canned. He said: “[The Colombo family] had idiots around them who would do anything. Francis [Ford Coppola] went to Little Italy to do some tests before filming in a movie mobile, like an Airstream. They went in for lunch and when they came back the truck was gone. A million dollars’ worth of equipment.”



21: Thefts and veiled threats were common forms of intimidation used by groups who didn't want the movie made, but the most vicious incident came when Paramount executive Robert Evans, his Hollywood actress wife Ali McGraw and their infant son Joshua received a mystery call at their New York hotel. “We don’t want to break your pretty face, hurt your newborn,” rasped the voice. “Get the f*ck outta town. Don’t shoot no movie about the family here. Got it?”

22: Frank Sinatra had been against the project since its inception and allegedly threatened to break Mario Puzo’s legs in 1970 when the pair were introduced — because of the similarity he bore to Johnny Fontane. "Sinatra was incessantly career-obsessed,” said film historian and author of The Godfather Effect, Tom Santopietro. “He knew Vito was a great role and so he saw Ford Coppola, well before filming had started, and said, ‘Francis, I will play Don Vito for you. I’ll never do it for those guys at Paramount so let’s you and I buy back the rights and make the movie.’” Coppola, for whatever reason, rebuffed the offer and this, according to Santopietro, deepened Sinatra’s hatred of the movie.


23: Legend has it Frank Sinatra successfully got Italian-American singer Vic Damone (pictured) to quit his role as Johnny Fontane and Giani Russo (Carlo Rizzi) claims he tried the same trick with him. “Sinatra’s a punk,” said Russo. “He called me up and said, ‘I don’t want you to support this thing.’ So I hung up the phone.
24: Producer Al Ruddy invited Italian-American Civil Rights League head honcho and mobster Joe Colombo to his East Coast office to broker a deal for peace, during the League's bullying attempts to have the movie closed. Colombo and his crew demanded that Ruddy delete all mentions of ‘mafia’ in the script, but they didn’t bother to read it. So Paramount agreed and [the League] thought it had won a great victory, despite the fact there was only one use of ‘mafia’ in the script. It was indeed removed.
25: Members of the notorious Gambino crime family would visit the set every day and, according to mobster and actor Giani Russo (Carlo Rizzi), the wedding scene featured “100 years of good behaviour total”.

Naomi Campbell In The Middle Of A 'Husband Snatching' Saga!

"Family members Lament ''Kola leave Naomi Campbell alone and face us,we are hungry!''.


The surest way to ruin a man who doesn't know how to handle money is to give him some.




Kola Aluko is a man who doesn’t know how to handle money yet he has plenty; now he is on a rollercoaster ride on the path to perdition. That is because the international businessman who recently made the list of Forbes “Ten Nigerian Multi-Millionaires You've Never Heard Of" fields his wealth like a curse to humanity, put more precisely, like a blight to his family.
Despite his amazing wealth, Aluko has refused to take care of his loved ones; particularly his two wives, Kemi and Teni, who are currently wasting away in misery and penury.Kemi, unlike Teni, Kola’s second wife, used to be the only neglected one, the one who dwelt alone with the kids in abject poverty until Kola’s attention shifted from Teni and she ended up on the receiving end of the same big stick Kola wields against his first wife. The sad reality of Kola’s miserliness to his wives and his astounding generosity to love interests outside the walls of their matrimony exerts a devastating impact on them laments a very close relative of Aluko.


While Kemi and her children are left to roast in impoverishment and neglect, Kola frolics about town with controversial former American runway queen, Naomi Campbell.


Since Campbell broke up with her billionaire boyfriend, she hasn’t been seen in suggestive poses with any man until her recent dalliances with Kola Aluko. Today, where ever you see Campbell, you will see Kola hanging around her like a silhouette to her beauteous frame.



Recently, the duo were sighted in Paris and according to the British Dailymail online edition, it seems they had a good time together there.


Back home in Nigeria, Kola Aluko’s wives and children and other relatives are facing the hardest of times. Many months ago, trouble reared its ugly head in Aluko’s marriage over his negligence to his marital responsibilities. So acrimonious were the several quarrels that afflicted the marriage that Aluko’s dirty linen with his wives were washed in public and exposed for all to see.


News that Kemi and her children were living from hand to mouth leaked to the streets and got spread by the rumour mill like wildfire in harmattan.
Kola for unexplainable reasons neglects his family and treats them like despicable slaves to the consternation of his friends and relatives.
With chains of successful business dealings and expansive and very expensive properties across New York, Beverly Hills, London, Dubai, Paris, Miami among others, it is unclear why Aluko would subject his wife and children to impoverishment and neglect.
Despite his assemblage of state of the art automobiles in his garages serving and palatial mansions spread across the world’s most exclusive regions, it is a great shame to see his first wife sweating profusely in the rickety car she cruises around Lagos and living in a dingy two-room apartment with their children.


It’s even more shameful to see his father's house in Ikoyi give to wear and neglect. Kola’s ancestral home has aged to a point when one would think it was one of those houses afflicted by ravages of war.


As you read, it totters in near collapse and the multimillionaire oil magnate does not give a hoot even if it collapses in rubble any moment from now.


It would be recalled that Kola ran into mysterious wealth through Diezani few years ago. But rather than spend such wealth in care of his loved ones, Kola unconscionably chose to neglect them. He suddenly discovered the need to dump his first wife and took a new wife in the daughter of Chief Edu.


His younger brothers, Kunle and Bolaji, like his first wife, Kemi, have been living in stark poverty without any help from him. Nonetheless, Kola indulges in questionable and indefensible extravagance like currently does with Campbell and he did when he literally took over Jide Omokore’s son’s wedding in Dubai; there Kola spent $1 million on drinks at Cavalli Nite Club in Dubai.

The situation has become an eyesore to his family members and even though they suffer the same raw deal from Aluko, as his wives and kids, it is their utmost wish that he stopped gallivanting about town with his new love interest, Campbell, and instead spend quality time and money being squandered in taking care of the family shamelessly neglects".
