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.

DEVELOPMENT vs POLITICS IN KENYA

In seasons greetings ladies and gentlemen......... In the recent past I have taken time analysing Kenyan politics across the political divide comparing the current leadership with the past regimes and giant democracies, to be able to understand the relationship between politics and development. In my analysis I have taken into consideration rhetorics from politicians regarding development. What's the relationship between politics and development? The Jubilee administration is fond of making this political rhetoric "sisi ni maendeleo tunataka sio siasa". The statement is a complete paradox since the statement is made by a politician in a political rally doing politics. So what makes the statement distinct from ordinary political innuendos? Today kenya has become a fundraising nation for the past 10 years of Kibaki regime our nation had forgotten the monster fundraiser which was a Nyayo political philosophy which crippled our economy and rendered us poppers. Our currency was weak and useless. The NARC government came with a powerful economic and, political wave that changed our nation's fortune. Our currency attained powerful status, the fortunes of our economy resurrected. We never heard of Harambees where government officials contributed "Millions" of shillings. Today believe it or not Kenya has gone back to the old Nyayo times! Its Harambees everywhere, the president and his deputy contribute Millions of shillings, we gonna have alot of money in circulation that will ultimately cripple the power of our currency. All this happening with a clear conscious but blinded by politics. Mwai kibaki and Raila Odinga steered Kenyan road network that gave our nation accessibility, a new and admirable shape. They designed and orchestrated The standard gauge Railway, Expansion of Mombasa port and many more outside their busy political calendar, they matched politics with development the records are clear for everyone. But the Jubilee administration has nurtured the art of crippling the economy in the name of safeguarding and advancing their political territory. Will Kenyans realise the economical suicide facing our nation in days a head? Only the wise can see the political suicide against our economy.
