Interesting things to know about the towel

How often do you wash your towel? Some people wash once a week, while some, once a year. The towel is a fertile breeding ground for millions of microbes, especially those found on human skin and on the gut.  No wonder the towel is one of the objects that facilitate fecal-oral contamination (literally connecting the two ends of the gut).  Worse still, most people keep towels in the bathroom (near the toilet). Every flush of the toilet sends mist with millions of microbes, ranging from H.pylori,  salmonella and other deadly bacteria and viruses. When you wash your hands ready for a meal, and dry them with your body towel, there's high chance you are directly ingesting your fecal matter, or, if in a shared lavatory, someone else's faeces. Unless cleaned well, viruses such as human papillomavirus (causes warts, anal cancer and cervical cancer) can be transmitted when towels are shared with infected individuals. So, what to do? 1.

'Nusu Mkate' issue was it meant for URP or CORD

When Uhuru accepted the offer for dialogue, he was telling his deputy that he (Uhuru) has the last word, and can over-rule his deputy anytime. But, when he said there shall be no 'Nusu Mkate', his target was not R.H. Raila Odinga, or the CORD Coalition. . . His target was actually the URP Brigade. The latter have been yapping about being short-changed on state appts, yet they had a pre-election 50-50 agreement. The president was telling them, to their faces, that ''hakuna nusu mkate hapa. What i say goes''. Uhuru knew perfectly well that most of us would conclude he was referring to R.H. Raila Odinga and the CORD Brigade..... Uhuru executed a cool professional foul on URP, but many of us think he was referring to CORD. The man managed to hit 3 birds with one stone!!! Any right-thinking analyst knows that there is no provision in the new constitution for a Coalition arrangement. So, why would CORD expect to be assimilated into govt? Under what circumstances would that even be possible??? Furthermore, CORD has not even imagined it! Who wants to be part of a sinking ship??! All we want is DIALOGUE, for the sake of the great pple of Kenya. There's no space or remote possibility of a Coalition arrangement! . . . You need to get into that man's head, in order to understand his every move. . . . Uhuru is too sharp for pple like Ruto.. Ruto, in his eternal stupidity, still has no clue that both remarks were targeted at him and his party. . . .
