Hawaii Hotel

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. This is one thing 'Bob' learned the hard way a few years ago when he had his face and upper body splashed with acid by a jilted lover. She cleverly lured him into a trap by asking him to drop her to pick some things at Sun 'N' Sand Beach Hotel in Kikambala off the Mombasa-Malindi highway. She had done her homework well and knew that to get to the hotel which is quite interior from the highway, they would pass through some dark deserted areas. Love affairs are difficult to read from outside so whether the lady in question was actually jilted or not is something nobody except the two can know for sure. But I don't think anyone deserves an acid bathe on the face for whatever reason.

They met at around 8.00 and set off to the hotel. At the most deserted stretch, the lady poured the acid on the left side of his face and upper body. She also stabbed him but fortunately the knife did not touch any vital organs. It's the burning and the realization that he was staring death in the face in a dark deserted place that was really getting at him. He stayed there burning for close to two hours. Fortunately he survived. He was rescued by a tours and travel van driver who was coming from the hotel and rushed to hospital where he stayed for months undergoing reconstructive treatment. His face was permanently disfigured by the time he left the hospital.

From the reports I've read around, an acid bathe at first feels like hot water on the skin. Then there's stinging and a burning sensation that gets worse and worse as the acid eats into the flesh. The victim feels like his/her face is melting away. A lot of victims of this heinous and cowardly crime die soon after the attack but those who survive require months of hospitalization and reconstructive surgery. It's like the acid also continues to eat at the flesh of the victim way after treatment commences. Some have to have their faces rebuild piece by piece over time. Whichever way, they carry the physical and emotional scars for life. The Psychological trauma of permanent disfiguration is immense and considering that most attackers target the face, permanent blindness is common.

This cowardly but frightening phenomenon is not as common in Kenya as it is in countries like Cambodia and Nigeria but that does not mean it does not happen. Cases of acid assault reported at Kenyatta National Hospital for example are in the range of 4-5 per month. In Nairobi Women's hospital they're few and far between but when they are brought in, they're of such magnitude they're not easily forgotten. Acids and other corrosive substances belong to laboratories and industries but the thing is it's very easy to acquire them. Sulphuric and Hydrochorolic acids which are the ones most commonly used by attackers are both readily available over the counter at Kshs.500 per liter. One can even get then from car repair shops for a pittance. Although Kenya has signed three UN conventions regulating the sale of acids and other corrosive agents, it's yet to adopt this law within the country.

Acid wielding killers are just as bad as gun totting criminals and just like we have gun controls, we need some regulation on sales of acids and other corrosive substances.

The Weimaraner (pronounced Vie-mare-ron-er) is a sleek looking, large dog. He stands between 24 to 27 inches at the shoulder, and weighs as much as 70 pounds. Weimaraners are strong, athletic Sporting dogs, covered in a smooth, short gray coat. In fact, even their eyes are gray. Gray is the most distinctive feature of this breed.

This dog has been around since at least the 17th century and surfaced in Germany. He was a prized hunter and water retriever, and has also been used as a rescue dog, police dog, and to aid disabled people. The Weimaraner has outstanding agility and high energy. He makes a wonderful companion for active families or individuals.

The Weimaraner has impeccable stamina and powerful muscles that need to be sufficiently exercised. He not only requires daily vigorous walks, but also plenty of opportunity to run free. Since he needs a good workout, the Weimaraner is not a good apartment dog. He can live comfortably in the city, but it is best for this dog to have a yard he can enjoy and use freely.

Another fact you should know about the Weimaraners high energy is he can easily knock down children as a puppy. That being said, this breed does get along well with children and enjoys playing with them. The Weimaraner can be reserved around strangers and aggressive towards other dogs if he is not socialized as a puppy. Furthermore, this breed does not mix well with small house pets (IE. rodents, birds, etc.).

Just as he requires socializing, he also needs effective obedience training. They are brave and devoted, but he can become overly protective of what he sees as his own territory. He can also be very stubborn and hard to control if his owner doesnt step up and show him who is in charge.

The Weimaraner loves his family and will want to spend as much time with them as possible. This dog should not be left outdoors, nor should he be left alone more than is necessary. If you allow a Weimaraner to become lonely he will grow restless and destructive. Therefore, take him with you wherever you go. He loves to travel, and is a great camping buddy.

One of the more pleasing aspects about owning a Weimaraner is grooming is a breeze. This pooch only requires weekly brushing to remove dead hair and to distribute oils evenly through the coat to make it shine. Furthermore, his short coat sheds no more than the average dog.

You can expect the Weimaraner to live 10 12 years, which is the average life span of a large dog. The only health problems that appear to be a concern in the breed is hip dysplasia and bloat (a deadly condition that causes the stomach to twist). Bloat can be prevented in the dog by providing him an elevated feeder, giving him smaller meals during the day instead of one large one, and not exercising him directly after eating or drinking. Bloat is generally caused when a deep chested dog gulps down too much air.

Faithful, strong and affectionate, the Weimaraner remains a true companion to his family, all the days of his life.
