DAILY NEWS-KENYA: Look at what RAILA ODINGA has told his CORD Govern...: FormerPrime Minister Raila Odinga has refuted claims that he is out to undermine President Uhuru Kenyatta and his Deputy , William Rut...

Look what UHURUTO did to MARGARET KENYATTA at Nyayo Stadium - Unbelievable!

President Uhuru Kenyatta and his Deputy , William
Ruto, on Sunday ‘bullied’ the First Lady ,
Margaret Kenyatta, and reduced her to a
mere messenger.
The President and his Deputy , who are so
used to one another that they often
engage in a game of ‘small boy s’, holding
hands and laughing uncontrollably right
before members of the public and in official functions, involved Margaret in
their games during Madaraka Day celebrations at Nyayo Stadium.

The two exchanged notes from time to time with Uhuru’s wife as their
messenger and conduit since she was seated right between them.
Their game went on for a while and whatever it is they were sharing was funny
because the two were seen giggling and laughing silly as the event went on.
The First Lady was forced to laugh as well to maintain the mood at the high
table although she was not aware of whatever Uhuru and Ruto were
exchanging in their secret notes.
Uhuru and Ruto have been criticized for being too friendly considering the
offices they hold.

FACT ABOUT SEX, DO U BELIEVE?

During sex, what bring about excitement to the man is the ability of the vagina to hold the penis tight and give it that sensation at the tip. There are thousands of unseen balls in the vagina that gives it this ability of tightness. These balls continue to burst each time a girl engages herself in sexual intercourse and the more the balls burst, the less elastic the vagina becomes rendering it not being able to hold the penis tightly during sex.

A girl who changes guys like the way she changes her pads stands the risk loosing more balls in Her vagina. Such girls always have their vagina so loose to the extend that, guys with smaller penis are not able to satisfy them and their partners don't also enjoy them during sex making them to now play ''away matches''. Have u ever asked yourself why most guys are fond of cheating on their partners? The truth is that they don't always get the kind of excitement they need from their partners. A girl who tries to abstain is likely to maintain her vagina in good shape for a long time and is also likely to keep her man to herself without cheating setting in.

Shock as mourners carries own plate,spoon to funeral

Mourner carries own cutlery  Residents of Moulem Estate in Kisumu were recently left in stitches when  a woman who had come for a funeral unashamedly whipped out of her  handbag a plate, cup and a spoon after the said cutlery ran out during  meal time.   As it is the custom in Nyanza, meals must be served at funerals, as a  way of celebrating the departed soul. Thus, this particular one was not  any different. A relatively well known man had passed on. And this  called for an elaborate and dignified sendoff that saw locals throng his  homestead a couple of days before his burial.   As usual, meals had been prepared in plenty. Locals witnessed quite a  number of strange behaviors. First, there were those who, probably from  distant places, arrived and immediately they were done wailing, wiped  their tears and headed straight to the tent where food was being served.  In one particular incident, a mourner made a grand entrance; she  uncontrollably wailed, rolled on the ground, dirtying herself as she  eulogised the departed man.  She praised him, expressing her grief and how the locality will miss his  kindness and generosity. Soon after wards, she dusted herself and made a  bee line for the improvised kitchen under a tent, where meals were  being served. Minutes late, she emerged with a mountain of nyoyo  (mixture of beans and maize), and a cup of tea.  Mourners salivate  On the final day, the bereaved had hired services of an out service  catering company. They had prepared sumptuous nyoyo, tea and ugali seved  with beef for special visitors, whose aroma made most of the mourners  salivate, completely ignoring the eulogies read.

What shocked the  residents was the gusto with which one particular whipped out a plate  and other cutlery, when she was told all the plates available had run  out. “Apenjou jowadwa, tinde ji Biro e liel nyaka gi plate, e liel yawa?  (Let me ask you brethren, nowadays people come to funerals with  plates?” wondered a shocked mourner.  “The world could be coming to an end my friends, if people can carry  such things to a funeral. It seems some people only come to funerals to  eat?” asked another mourner.  “Osiepna, thurwa kae, jii nyaka chiem ee liel. mang’a duong kothoo,nyaka  gweno, dhiang’ gi diek nyaka yang’ mar jomaobiro ee liel. (My friend,  around here, people believe in eating in funeral).  And when a ‘big’ person dies, you would always hear of plans to  slaughter bulls, chickens, goats and sheep in order to sustain the  expected big number of mourners that would grace the burial.)” answered  the other mourner.  He added: “The bigger the name the bigger the budget of food. So much is  the emphasis that is put on food that in some instances, we have a  committee that ensures food is in plenty, even if it means doing a  fundraiser, otherwise people will forever gossip the bereaved, claiming  he/she starved them!”

Drama as drunkards turn court into theatre of the absurd.

Drunkards are an  interesting lot. They are at times funnier than your average Kenyan  comedian, if the theatrics a bunch of them brought to a Nyeri court a  week ago is anything to go by.   A group of 85 men had been arraigned in court and charged with being  drunk and disorderly. That some of them were still in a drunken stupor  made the courtroom literally turn into a theatre of the absurd.
 Interestingly, a mtungi  (pot) full of a frothy brew, which was still fermenting and from which  some of the suspects never moved their eyes, was produced in court as  exhibit.  Drama began when the court clerk started explaining to them why they had  been arraigned in court. “Mlipatikana mkipiga kelele na kutembea kwa  mwendo wa kuyumbayumba (You were caught drunk and disorderly),” he told  them.  In unison, the drunkards pleaded guilty to the charges, and that was  when the comedy began. Each one of them was given an opportunity to  explain why they were “disturbing peace” and why they should not be  charged.  First on the line was a particularly witty individual who asked the  court to free him because his youngest daughter was pregnant.  He told the magistrate that he is the sole breadwinner of his family  including the foetus in his 17-year-old daughter’s womb. “Huyo musichana  alikuwa ametoroka, lakini kurudi alikuja na mimba (My daughter had run  away from home, only to return with a pregnancy,” said the man, arousing  a merry round of laughter in the packed courtroom.

Last sip 
The next drunk told the court he was in the process of quitting alcohol  and, in fact, he was on his last day when the police ambushed the den  and arrested him on his last sip.  He said he had resolved to quit alcohol after he recently witnessed,  ‘booze warriors’ succumb to illicit liquor in different parts of the  country. “For the 10 years I have been drinking, I have never been  arrested by police. This was in fact bad luck to me because I was in the  process of quitting alcohol when they came. They just caught me on my  last sip,” he repeated.  And before the tickled courtroom could recover from outbursts and  ramblings, one of his partners in crime, perhaps not to be outdone, took  the comedy a notch higher. In his defence, he told the magistrate he  never takes alcohol but had turned to it after the scotching sun on that  day “burned” his head, disorganising his thinking, moving and seeing  faculties.  “The sun had burned my head, thus I couldn’t do things properly. That is  why I turned to alcohol, but I swear here today, I will never drink  again,” he pleaded.But the showstopper was an elderly man who tickled those in attendance.  After pleading guilty to the charges, told the magistrate that even  before slapping him with any amount of bail, he should be released to go and look for more money to bail himself out because all he had in his pocket was Sh100! "Nii ndiro na igana rimwe. Ona kaba mwambe mundekererie ndie ngethe icio ingi (All I have is Sh100. If you can, please free me so that I can go get you the rest if the fine exceeds that)” he begged, rather emotionally. Interestingly, the magistrate heard his plea, and only fined him Sh100!

ONE KU FEMALE STUDENT'S LEADER EFFECTIVELY HANDLES THE "BIG-BALLS."

KU Gender and Welfare secretary #Micky_Wanja gave one Babu Owino and his assistant Juma Charlow (the 2 Big Balls) serious schooling  during their interview today on KTN-StraightUp.

The punchlines;
*A clever fighter never uses his best weapon before the war starts. #Conclusion: The duo are not clever, a kind way of calling them fools.

*In the 21st Century, Guerrilla tactics can't create solutions. A kind way of saying you live in stone age.

Micky went ahead trying to bring sense to this two duos on why they shouldn't have incited the students to hold a demonstration on Tuesday 21st since it was baseless and the two had no facts regarding fee increment. In one way or the other Wanja tried to bring out the fact that the two were using this just as a political platform to gain cheap publicity or maybe someone somewhere was using them to use the students as an arm to dis-stabilize the UhuRuto government in such time when its under pressure to handle terrorism in the country.

All said,the it all up to the students, to evaluate each and every matter before rushing to take any action to avoid manipulation from politicians as they intensify their supremacy battles.

Odoyo Mungah Senior 

You are lying,‪ ‎ODM ‬ tells Jubile.

Nairobi, Kenya:Orange Democratic Movement has released a report card on theJubileegovernment's performance in the past one year.
In a statement sent to newsrooms by acting party leader Anyang' Nyong'o,ODMaccused the government of not fulfilling its promises."When theJubileeCoalition took over power it promised Kenyans many things it has not fulfilled one year after being in office." read the statement. " Lap tops for school children: nothing. Digitalized government: nothing. Free maternitycare for expecting mothers: grossly under funded. A place to feel at homein Kenya: we now live under perpetual insecurity. A unified and prosperous nation: divisive politics and the politics of exclusion continue to divide our people withJubileeleaders as the chief architects of this " divide and rule politics," the statementread.ODMsaid the country was becoming more and more isolated from the international community of nation and called the trend "worrying"saying that Kenya's  development partners had been humiliated "by a stance in international relations laced with arrogance and nationalistic jingoism."The statement ended with an inviation to read a "score card" on howJubilee"is misgoverning Kenyans and our proposals on what need to be done in agriculture, land, energy, other infrastructure, education, health, industry and governance in general."Below is the complete unedited statement.THE LIES THAT JUBILEE TELLWhen theJubileeCoalition took over power it promised Kenyans many things it has not fulfilled one year after being in office. Lap tops forschool children: nothing. Digitalized government: nothing. Free maternitycare for expecting mothers: grossly under funded. A place to feel at homein Kenya: we now live under perpetual insecurity. A unified and prosperous nation: divisive politics and the politics of exclusion continue to divide our people withJubileeleaders as the chief architects of this " divide and rule politics."What is even more worrying is that Kenya is becoming more and more isolated from the international community of nations. Our development partners have been humiliated by a stance in international relations laced with arrogance and nationalistic jingoism which brings with it self inflicted wounds and missed opportunities in development corporation in Kenya's global interests. Sooner rather than later this politics of isolation will begin hurting our people directly particularly in the social sectors: health, education and water provision.Development partners who have worked with us in these sectors are pulling out due to lack of positive engagement by theJubileeleaders.ODMbelieves in constructive engagement with all our developmentpartners rather than the isolationist diplomacy ofJubilee.It is in the face of this rapid decline ineffective leadership that we decided to delve deep into the "lies thatJubileehas been telling Kenyans" about pursuing their manifesto so that Kenyans can wake up to the serious situation we are facing with the current regime. As a watchdog government in waiting our responsibility is to analyze, criticize, enlighten, expose, shade light and show the way to a better and"CORDED" Kenya.Having ascended to power through a controversial Supreme Court decision, and knowing full well that the IEBC did a hopeless job in managing the last elections,Jubileeshould have moved first to address radical reforms in the elections body. It has not. Instead it is now engaged in maneuvers to engage the discredited personnel in that elections body for the further rigging of future elections. Just more problems for ournation. Our coalition has called for a radical transformation of the IEBC and a truly independent body to manage the next elections.
he projects thatJubileekeepson touting as their successes areactually Vision 2030 projects that they have inherited from both the NARC and the Grand Coalition government. These are long term infrastructure projects whose fruition are rightly being realized now. The problem is that, due to greed and kickbacks,Jubileehas now loaded these projects with debt burdens that will weigh heavilyand unfairly on future generations. We see this in the SGR project as well as the energy sector where kickbacks infirm board room wars.What is worse isJubilee's killing of the national institutions set up by NARC to steer Vision 2030. These are the National Economic and Social Council (NESC) and the Secretariat for Vision2030. No doubt the politics of"opaqueness" requires that such institutions die.More worrying to us is the creeping authoritarianism coming back to the center stage if Kenyan politics at a time when we should be expanding democratic governance and strengthening devolution. In implementing Article 17 of the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution, Cabinet Secretary Anne Waiguru should have presented to the Senate Committee on Devolution a government sessional Paper on the restructuring of the ProvincialAdministration "to accord with devolution" and not to impose new structures of the old system by fiat from above. Such a paper would then havebeen debated in Parliament. This has not happened and an unnecessary crisis has now been manufactured byJubilee.We invite you to read and discuss our detailed score card on howJubileeis misgoverning Kenyans and ourproposals on what need to be done in agriculture, land, energy, other infrastructure, education, health, industry and governance in general.Sen.

26 Varsity Students Charged In Court Over Demos

Twenty six university students have today, Wednesday been charged in a Nairobi court over Tuesday’s protests over proposed increased tuition fees.

22 students before court were however released on a Ksh 500 cash bail.

Two other students scheduled to appear in the court failed to appear hence prompting an arrest warrant to be issued.

This comes just  day after the students went on rampage causing chaos in Nairobi's CBD.

The students barricaded roads with some taking advantage of the protest by harassing and looting from motorists.

Police were forced to use tear gas canisters to disperse the students who were marching along parliament and Jeevanjee gardens.

In a quick rejoinder, Education Cabinet Secretary Prof Jacob Kaimenyi denied the claims of plans to increase tuition fees.

In a statement to newsrooms,the Education Secretary said such an increment was not possible without consultations with all stakeholders.

Kaimenyi added that a fee increment must be initiated by University Councils then deliberated upon through a consultative process which should involve stakeholders and approved by the Cabinet Secretary for Education.

Key stakeholders in this process include Parliament, Senate, Commission for University Education, Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service Board, University Students’ leadership.

Make Up Tips For Black Skin

Tips for making up that beautiful dark skin. Photo: CourtesyStacy Okafor is an international make-up artist who has worked with celebrities for film, music videos, television and fashion shows, and specialises in make-up and skin care for black women.1. Use Light FoundationAvoid using heavy-texture foundations, as black skin tends be oiler. Instead, ask for a foundation that is lightweight in texture with a high pigment concentration. This basically means that a little of the foundation covers well. This will avoid a heavy look to the skin.2. Match Your FoundationWhen choosing a foundation, always pick a colour that matches the majority of yourface. If you want to adjust any discoloration on your face, use a lighter or darker concealer as a colour adjuster for the areas of your face which appear different. Remember to match your shadein natural daylight.3. Get Clever With ConcealerIf you need to correct any discolouration,use an orangey/red-based concealer first to neutralise the darkness, then set this lightly with powder. Next, use a concealer that matches your skin and blendthis over the area you have colour corrected.4. Don't Use Silvery EyeshadowsEye shadow colours with silvery undertones can tend to be a bit harsh on black skin so use colours that are warmerand have more golden tones for a more flattering look.5. Groom Your BrowsWhen grooming brows, use a pencil or powder in a dark brown. Often black skins tend to opt for black pencils to matchtheir hair colour. On the brows, this can look too hard as the hairs create natural shadow and make the black pencil appear deeper.6. Line Your LipsUse lipliner to play with your natural mouth shape. If you want to make your lips fuller, use a lip liner to draw just outside your natural line. Likewise, if youwant to make your lips appear less full, line them just inside the natural lip line with a darker lip pencil in a neutral tone.

Five common beauty blunders

By polishing up your techniques in the beauty and make-up department, you can transform your look from just nice to show-stoppingly amazing.
1. Clashing lipstick and eyes
Clashing means that both are competing for attention. Your choice of lipstick and eye shadow need not be an exact match. But the problem arises when a bold lip is paired with a bright, glittery eye, or dark lipstick with dark eye shadow. Because the viewer can only focus on one aspect of your face, choose whether you want to play up your lips or your eyes—not both. The original dark smoky eye is always paired with a pale nude neutral lip.
2. Overdoing the concealer
A concealer is a wonderful, almost magical tool in any woman’s make-up arsenal. It can make your late nights, hangovers and raccoon eyes disappear just by a few strategic swipes. It can reduce the appearance of puffiness, dark circles, bags and blemishes. But to accomplish this, buy the right shade in the right formulation. Your concealer should ideally be the exact same shade as your foundation or slightly lighter. If it is too light it will magnify the flaws you want to hide.
3. Applying lipstick to chapped lips
This is an absolute no-no. Lipstick flaunts one of a woman’s best features—her perfect pout. When we apply bright, shimmery or even nude lipstick on cracked lips, not only does it draw attention to the uneven cracks, it dries them out and worsens the situation. Prepare your lips first to achieve maximum voltage from applying colour. Make your own DIY (do it yourself) scrub using sugar and honey or coconut oil. Use your clean fingers or a soft toothbrush to gently exfoliate your lips. Prime with petroleum jelly or Shea butter then apply your lipstick.
4. Heavy or fake-looking foundation
Full coverage foundation is for film and photography. For a classic day-to-day fresh face, only apply foundation on the areas that need it—around your eyes, along your nose and on your cheeks. You do not need foundation on your entire forehead and jaw. Blend thoroughly so that it looks natural.
5. Cakey powder
Powder can be an important tool because it sets your original make-up and helps it last. It is also useful in preventing shine, especially for photography. However, care must be exercised. Pressed powder foundation is not the same as translucent finishing powder. Each of these serves a different purpose and can make us look cakey or ashen when applied incorrectly

The cable goes further to give the sequence of how the fleecing was conducted

ANATOMY OF A CORRUPTION NETWORK
-------------------------------

3.  (C) In April 2004, information emerged publicly that a
shadowy firm, Anglo Leasing and Finance Limited (Anglo
Leasing), had secured two bogus contracts with the  Government of Kenya (GOK).  The first was for the supply of  new secure passport issuing equipment, and the second for
the construction of a police forensics lab.  Together, the  two contracts were worth a combined $90 million.  Anglo-
Leasing, it turned out, was no more than a "PO Box company"
with fictitious offices in the UK and Switzerland and no  identifiable officers or management. 

The Anglo-Leasing  scandal was aggressively investigated at the time by the  then-Permanent Secretary for Ethics and Governance, John
Githongo.  Githongo's investigations revealed Anglo-Leasing  to be only the tip of an iceberg of grand-scale theft.
They forced the Ministry of Finance to suspend payments and  order forensic audits on 18 secretive security-related
procurement contracts that followed a very similar pattern  to that found in the Anglo-Leasing cases.

4.  (C) This pattern involved a small clique of private-  sector dealmakers working together with an equally small
cadre of senior government conspirators.  Together, they
would generate proposals for large-scale government  procurement contracts.  Because these contracts involved  national security equipment of one kind or another, they
fell well outside the normal (and already weak) systems of
scrutiny and oversight found in other parts of the GOK and  Parliament.  The proposals  frequently requested goods not  needed or desired by the line ministry targeted to pay for
them, and involved large upfront payments or commissions
financed by loans arranged by the businessmen. 

The goods  or services were either vastly overpriced or not supplied
at all.  This kind of scam generated enormous illicit  profits, much of which were recycled by the businessmen who
received the payments to the concerned GOK officials and
other middlemen for personal gain or to finance future  political campaigns.

SHOCKING: UHURU Man MOSES KURIA Says RAILA COORDINATING Terror Attacks Tells KIKUYUS To Get Guns And Kill ALL LUOS And SOMALIS

Shocking is what many are saying on reading the inciting post on Facebook made by Moses Kuria who prides himself as one of the political advisors to the president and a commentator in various TV's political shows locally.

The political 'expert ' and a close man to the power with  sensation called out for a genocide on perceived enemies and urged Kenyans to get guns and go to war. Though his post was quickly edited and other posts deleted after drawing criticism from his followers, below is the unedited post;

" I think its just a matter of time before Kenyans start violence against PERCEIVED terrorists, their sympathisers, their financiers and those issuing travel advisories without sharing intelligence. I am not sure I will not be one of those Kenyans. When you touch Gikomba the nerve centre of our economic enterprise,you really cross the line. Brace yourself. Choices have consequences.The madness will not end till you take up arms to defend your motherland.We need guts, guns and God. This is not about Muhoro, Gichangi et all. Stop the blame game. Take up guns and defend your motherland, your mothers, your sisters and your daughters!

Hassan Joho degree is genuine, says Kampala University VC

Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho earned his degree from Kampala University legitimately, the institution's Vice Chancellor has said.Speaking to reporters in Nairobi on Sunday, Prof Badru Kateregga said Mr Joho attended the university from 2009 to 2012.“As far as Kampala University is concerned, the degree awarded to MrHassan Ali Joho is bonafide, lawful and authentic. (It) was genuinely awarded and Kampala University Senate cannot and will not recall, revoke or cancel an award that it deems to be valid, authentic and genuinely awarded,” he said.The Uganda National Council for Higher Education hasdoubted the validityof Mr Joho's degree.“There was no clear evidence that academic due process was followed from admission to graduation regarding a Bachelor of Business Administration degree (Human Resource Management option) awarded to Mr Hassan Ali Joho by Kampala University,” the council said in a resolution.NCHE has said that Mr Joho may not have been in Uganda to physicallyundertake studies, raising doubts abouthow the university awarded him the degree.It was acting on the recommendationsof a committee chaired by Mr S.H. Nsubuga, which claimed that Mr Joho “fraudulently obtained the said qualifications from Kampala University” and that he “neither qualified for admission to the degree programme nor was he subjected to the due process”.However, Prof Kateregga questioned the Council's authority on the matter. “The law does not requirethem to recognise any degree. The duty of National councils is to accreditprogrammes, once the programmes have been accredited; the question of degree awarding is the question of university senate,” he said.The Constitution requires a governorto be a degree holder.

5 things couples do to avoid having sex

What do you do when you're not in the mood? Watch a movie? Play a game? Indulge in your fave meal? Here are the top five most common alternatives to sex...
Scantily-clad women on huge billboards promoting the benefits of push-up bras and celebs like David Beckham posing in their underwear for high street advertising campaigns. There's no doubt that sex sells, but when it comes to sex in long-term relationships, are we actually doing it?
According to research, sexual intercourse takes place around 100million times a day in the world. That’s pretty good going, but it got us wondering, for all those 100million acts, how many acts of avoiding the issue are there?Let's be honest, when it comes to getting down to it, there are plenty of times when it just all seems like too much effort.
Here are the five most popular thingswe do to avoid having sex...

1. Eat food
Sometimes the thought of jumping intobed with your loved one is more than you can face; all that physical exertion, getting naked business, and mess to sort out afterwards. It’s no surprise then, that forgoing sex for food is high up on those displacement activities.Chocolate anyone? Or would you rather scoff a whole pizza?

2. Watch movies
When movies like 'Shame' and 'Nymphomaniac' exist, why waste your own energy doing the deed whenyou can get your kicks watching otherpeople? Or you may prefer somethingaltogether less sexy, and opt for the Harry Potter collection. Either way, snuggling up on the sofa in your favourite pyjamas and enjoying a good film, always makes a good alternative.

3. Play games online
The thrill of winning, the possibility that you could walk away thousands ofpounds richer, and the fun of it all - playing online games has soared in popularity in recent years. Is poker better than sex? Bingo better than a good old fashioned snog?We guess it depends on your particular mood, but online games can quickly have you hooked.

4. Think about sex
Sometimes it's just not possible to engage in sex with your partner whenyou fancy it. After all, we do have other things we have to do, like a day job, housework, cooking, socialising, ferrying the kids from A to B… so thinking about sex instead of actually doing it, isn't that odd.In fact, men apparently think about sex every seven seconds, so it's a wonder they get anything else done at all!

5. Selfie sex
Other people. They're great and everything, wonderful even, but there are times when we just want to be alone. Selfie sex involves none of the hassle of partner sex, no-one's fightingto get what they want first, no-one's getting it wrong, and there’s much lessactual hardcore exertion involved; which makes it a great option if you 'sort of fancy it' but can’t really be bothered.

Two Gikomba blast suspects under police custody

Nairobi PPO Benson Kibue has said that two suspects linked to the twinblasts atGikombamarketFriday afternoon are now in custody.
One suspect, according to police is under watch at Kenyatta National Hospital and another is in custody at a police station. The suspect at KNH has multiple injuries.
According to police, both suspects were captured by members of the public and handed over to them.
Police say theblasts were caused by two improvised explosive devices detonated simultaneously at 2.30pm.
Ten people have been confirmed dead by the National Disaster Operations Centre and 79 have been received at Kenyatta National Hospital, according to the hospital's spokesman Simon Ithae.

More injured were taken to Guru Nanak Hospital but officials are yet to give the number of casualties at the hospital.

Four dead and others seriously injured in multiple explosions at Gikomba market

Nairobi, Kenya:Scores of people were Friday afternoon injured in aterrorattack in the populated Gikomba market, Nairobi.
Witnesses and police say there are multiple injuries and the victims are being rushed to hospitals.
There were reports of another blast in Huruma amid confusion. Reports indicated the attack in Gikomba happened inside a bank and another one near there.
The one outside the bank happened in a public service vehicle, witnesses said.
Police were rushing there and hospitals and other emergency service providers were put on standby.
Nairobi police boss Benson Kibue said they are yet to know the number of injured or dead but reports from the National Disaster Operations Centre said the death toll is at 10 with "numerous casualties".
“There are explosions in the area and we are yet to know the cause. But witnesses say there are injuries,”said Kibue.
Gikomba, which is one of the biggest market in the region is usually crowded on Fridays. Police had difficulties accessing the area because of the human and vehicle jam.
On Wednesday, the British Government told more than 5,000 of its nationals who are in Mombasa to leave because of high threat of aterrorattack.
Kenya reacted angrily and criticised the advisory.
The Foreign and Commonwealth Office issued an advisory yesterday and advised against all but essential travel to Mombasa Island and the surrounding area following recentterrorist attacks and the continuingterrorist threat in the area.

MUST READ,,,Benefits of moderate alcohol drinking.

By GariHirriyuki Tagawah

Drinking alcohol in moderate amounts can have positive influences on
physical and mental health. While alcohol is one of the most widely abused
substances on the market, it is also one that features certain benefits for
drinkers who consume it in safe amounts. For individuals who consume low
levels of alcohol, benefits like reduced stress, increased cardiovascular health
and decreased risk of developing type 2 diabetes offer a wealth of reasons
for consumers to drink in moderation.

1. Reduce Stress, Anxiety and Tension

Research shows that the consumption of alcohol in moderate amounts can
lead to certain psychological benefits. Low levels of alcohol can trigger stress
reduction, easy feelings of anxiety and help consumers to reduce tension. In
addition, low levels of alcohol consumption can also cause the consumer to feel more pleasant and relaxed. Studies on sleep show that people who drink in moderation get more sleep on average than do those who indulge in excess. These psychological effects of moderate drinking are positive ones
that can be beneficial to the consumer.

2.A Longer Life

The positive psychological effects of drinking in moderation can be associated
with the studies that show moderate drinkers tend to live longer than people
who don't drink at all or those who drink in excess. Studies from a number of different countries including China, the United States and England indicate
that longevity is highest among groups of people who drink alcohol in
moderation.

3.Increased Cardiovascular Health

Several studies have shown that drinking alcohol in moderation has a
positive correlation with certain aspects of cardiovascular health. In
particular, the risk of developing coronary artery disease is significantly
lowered in conjunction with moderate consumption of alcohol. Another link
between alcohol and cardiovascular health shows that moderate
consumption of alcohol has a positive correlation with survivability in the
event of a heart attack. Those who drink low levels of alcohol are more likely to live and less likely to experience another heart attack.
Alcohol produces several positive effects on the body when consumed in low levels.  For example, it increases levels of good cholesterol (HDL) and lowers levels of bad cholesterol (LDL). Alcohol also acts as a blood thinner once it enters the human body, much like common aspirin does. Thus, when
consumed in moderation, it can reduce the likelihood of developing blood
clots in arteries.

4.Decreased Risk for Type 2 Diabetes

While consuming alcohol in large quantities has been proven to put drinkers at a higher risk for developing type 2 diabetes, some studies show that
drinking in moderation might have the opposite effect. The relationship
between alcohol and type 2 diabetes is the focus of a great number of
ongoing studies. Findings show, however, that moderate drinkers are less likely to develop type 2 diabetes than heavy drinkers.
All of these health benefits associated with moderate drinking serve as an
incentive for consumers to limit their levels of alcohol intake. Too much
alcohol eliminates the health benefits described above. The best way to
maximize on the health benefits of alcohol is to consume it in low levels.

UoN students plan to storm 2 prisons and release prisoners as their friends risk death sentence

Security
in Nairobi is on high alert
following plans by University of
Nairobi Students to storm Langata
and Kamiti Prisons and release
prisoners.
The students are angered by the
court for refusing to release 12 of
their colleagues unless with sh 2
million bond each, saying the
accused can’t raise such money.
The 12 were arrested from the
university’s Lower Kabete Campus
for disrupting the SONU elections
and for planning to commit felony.
However, five more counts have
been added to them, including
robbery with violence and
malicious damage to property,
after several students reported to
the police that they had been
robbed of their phones and laptops
by the accused, who were armed
with crude weapons.
The accused were arrested with
dangerous weapons among them
Glock pistol, knives and pangas
with the intention to commit a
crime.
The 12 now face a death sentence
as far as robbery with violence is
concerned.
“You have to listen to these counts
carefully because the punishment
is death”, said Court Clerk Vincent
Owuor, urging them to be
attentive to the counts relating to
robbery with violence.

WHY KENYATTA UNIVERSITY IS THE BEST UNIVERSITY IN KENYA TODAY.

Kenyatta University stands a better
chance of being the best University
in Africa in a few years to come
should its trend of progress
continue. Being the best University
in Africa, will make it the best
institution in Kenya, a position, it
has managed to achieve currently.
Forget about the Webometrics
ranking; look at it from a realistic
perspective.
MODERN FACILITIES
Unicity; the university is in the
process of constructing an
elaborate state of the art Uni-city
which is a representation of many
more other facilities which have
taken shape in Kenyatta University.
The different projects currently
ongoing include; The Campanile;
bell Tower(First of its kind in
Kenya), Teaching and Referral
Hospital(600 bed capacity and
Cancer Center), Five Star Hotel and
Recreation Center, 6,000 capacity
Amphitheatre among other many
projects. Anyone who visits
Kenyatta University today may fail
to realize that the Post Modern
Library is the largest in East and
Central Africa, but such people will
not fail to realize that the University
has a very, very bright future.
INNOVATIVE PROGRAMS;
When it comes to initiating
innovative programs, Kenyatta
University, seemingly has failed to
get a rival. Recently, the Vice
Chancellor, Prof. Olive Mugenda
announced that plans are in
advanced stages to introduce
leadership training to all students
to give them a competitive edge in
the job market. This is in response
to the change in taste and
preferences of employers who are
keener in the soft skills than the
academic papers. This comes at a
time when the SWIP [Student Work
Internship Program] is just taking
shape. The students will be hired to
work [to get work experience and
earn some little cash], as they
progress with their academic
programs. Similarly, this will give
the students a competitive edge in
the job market.
SERENE ENVIRONMENT;
The University is situated in an
expansive area of serene and
adorable environment. When you
visit other universities where the
difference between a University
fence and a street is an electric
pole; that is when you will realize
the serenity of Kenyatta University.
The terrain is gently sloping and
conducive for the learning process.
The environment provides a
perfect holiday destination.
INNOVATION AND CREATIVITY;
Unlike other institutions in Kenya,
Kenyatta University has taken the
lead in terms of innovation and
championing creativity. Look at
Chandaria Business and Innovation
Incubation Center for instance. It
was the first university to
implement such an idea. Today,
the centre hosts more than 40
projects; 70% of which are initiated
and owned by K.U students. The
remaining 30% are spread open
for the innovators outside Kenyatta
University Community. Interestingly,
the center hosts a number of
students from other institutions
such as ‘The’ University of Nairobi,
JKUAT et al. The center has
produced award winning projects
and also given perfect platforms for
innovative students.
SLIGHTLY LOWER COST OF LIVING;
Since the University is located
between Nairobi and Kiambu
counties and strategically between
the agricultural towns of Ruiru and
Githurai, the cost of living is slightly
lowered compared to other
institutions which are hosted by
the Central Business Districts
(CBDs). On the same note, the
presence of Kilometre Moja(K.M),
in its precincts cannot pass
unnoticed. This small ‘shopping
mall’, as it is referred to provides
students with all their needs. The
costs of housing in these areas are
not very high compared to other
places.
SOBER APPROACH;
The university is placing itself in a
position which will make it the
epitome of sobriety. Other
universities have perfected in the
art of intolerance, they always form
part of the active new bulletin in the
media; not because they are
innovative; but because of all
wrong reasons. Kenyatta University
has embraced tranquility and sober
approach to issues. Expectedly, a
set up of a university stature might
not be smooth in its systems all
through, but as they say, how we
respond to issues determine who
we become in the long run.
TALENTS EXPLOITATION;
If you have a talent to exploit,
Kenyatta University is the best place
for you. Starting from arts,
entrepreneurship, technical ability,
at least K.U has a package for
everyone. Most of Kenya’s admired
talents are actually bred and
hatched in Kenyatta University.
Here, talents are identified and
tapped; platforms are facilitated
and provided-just for you.
PRAGMATIC STUDENTS
LEADERSHIP;
As compared to others, Kenyatta
University Students’ Association
(KUSA) stands out to be among the
best. Like the administration, the
leadership is sober in its moves
and very innovative in nature. The
working relationship with the
administration is that which is
desired by many. The mindset of
everyone is fixed towards the long
term strategic goals and nothing is
left to discourage anyone.
RESOURCEFUL STUDENTS
POPULATION;
Kenyatta University hosts a number
of students with rich and diverse
backgrounds. Once in the
university, their mindsets are wired
and the common goals are
communicated. Therefore, one will
wonder why the students are all
focused to the main goal; the
answer in that case would be
simple, because they are Kenyatta
University students. Currently, the
university hosts close to 70,000
students; a representation of a
future vibrant labor force in the
labor market.
WIDE VARIETY IN COURSES
OFFERED;
Today, Kenyatta University is a host
to many courses; most of which are
in line with the current taste of the
corporate world. These courses are
developed in a way that they make
the student relevant for a long time
and competitive globally. The
University has also tailor made
some courses and short trainings
to facilitate the Kenya’s moments of
ushering in devolution and county
governments.
HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE
PRIVATE FIRMS;
The university enjoys a cordial and
warm relationship with the
corporates. This is enough news to
the finalists. Most of the institutions
have signed agreements with the
university in various platforms to
facilitate smooth transition of
students. Uchumi chain stores for
instance, is one of the partners
which will be hosted in the
upcoming Uni-City. Corporate
goodwill is manifested mostly
during Career fair and when
different clubs have their activities.
IN CONCLUSION;
The reasons might be incredibly
many. To be honest, I have not
managed to list a third of all of
them. To this end, any sober
judgment will place the university in
its rightful place. Of course, this
does not mean there are no
hitches. But, when achievements
outnumber the weaknesses, it
becomes prudent to recognize
such efforts.

5 Amazing Things You Didn't Know About Marijuana

By GariHirriyuki Tagawah

It's no coincidence that marijuana legalization
support has surged with the growth of social
media. The voices of the Reefer Madness era
are silenced daily as studies and testimonials
continue pouring in about this often
misunderstood plant. Ignorance still remains,
however, and this fight won't be won without
continued education of the masses.
It takes one fact that hits home to sway
someone's opinion. Maybe one of the following
will do that for you. Here are five things about
marijuana you may not have known:

1. THC and CBD, marijuana's primary
cannabinoids, are both cancer killers.
No, I'm not talking about using marijuana to
help manage cancer's effects. It's actually anti-
cancer.
Recent research out of Spain suggests that THC,
marijuana's psychoactive ingredient, kills brain
cancer cells. Study co-author Guillermo Velasco
claims that when THC was applied to cancerous
brain tissue, the cancer cells were killed while healthy cells were left alone.
CBD apparently does the same; a pair of scientists from California Pacific Medical Center
in San Francisco demonstrated the
cannabinoid's ability to stop metastasis in many
kinds of aggressive cancer.
Imagine if this plant were discovered in a jungle
two weeks ago. What would the news be
saying? The CBD article goes as far as to say the
breakthrough could "potentially alter the fatality
of the disease forever." The lack of media
coverage for this is astounding, but that doesn't
diminish the research.

2. Marijuana triggers neurogenesis.
Layman's terms: It leads to brain cell growth.
Wait....marijuana is supposed to kill brain cells,
right?
Wrong.
The roots of the marijuana-kills-brain-cells myth
are deep despite the lack of credible evidence.
The original study supporting this notion is
questionable at best and recent research
suggests exactly the opposite.
In 2005, a study showed cannabinoids' ability to
promote neurogenesis in the adult
hippocampus, the brain region responsible for
many important brain functions including
mood and memory. The authors also cited anti-
anxiety and anti-depressant effects that
accompany the neurogenesis. This explains why
people across California, Colorado, Washington
and other marijuana-friendly states often turn
to the herb for a mood-boost instead of
pharmaceutical drugs. It also supports research
that marijuana helps improve cognitive function
in bipolar disorder patients. This brings us to
our next fact....

3. Suicide rates are lower in areas where
medical marijuana is available.
A Denver state-level study analyzed the
statistical trend of suicide after introduction of
medical marijuana.
From the study:
"Our results suggest that the passage of a
medical marijuana law is associated with an
almost 5% reduction in total suicide rate, an
11% reduction in the suicide rate of age 20-29
males, and a 9% reduction in the suicide rate of
30-39 males."
It's interesting this hasn't become mainstream
data in a country so focused on suicide
prevention. Not surprisingly, one of the main
reasons cited by the study's authors for the
decrease was connected to the at-risk
population (20 and 30-something males)
replacing alcohol with marijuana. This data
makes the strictness of Illinois' new medical
marijuana policy even more laughable.
"Don't let usage get out of control! Less people
might commit suicide!"
But what about the physical effects?

4. There is zero evidence that marijuana
causes significant lung damage.
While vaporization is always touted as the safest
method of marijuana ingestion, the largest
study of its kind suggested marijuana-only
smoking is harmless as well:
"We hypothesized that there would be a
positive association between marijuana use and
lung cancer, and that the association would be
more positive with heavier use. What we found
instead was no association at all, and even
some suggestion of a protective effect."
The above words come from UCLA Medical
Doctor Donald Tashkin, author of the study and
marijuana researcher of more than 30 years.
Considering the tar in marijuana smoke was
found to contain as many harmful carcinogens
as cigarette smoke, this study actually
strengthens the notion that marijuana is anti-
cancer. The plant itself seems to have an
offsetting effect for the harmful properties of smoke.

5. There are two completely different types
of marijuana, both with different effects on
the user.
One of the biggest mistakes made by people
who first try marijuana is immediately thinking
that it's "not for them." It certainly isn't for
everyone, but what if they just tried the wrong
kind?
There are hundreds of different strains of
marijuana, tagged with names like Blue Dream,
OG Kush, Trainwreck or Pineapple. All of these
are categorized as "Sativa" or "Indica." Here's a
simple-as-possible explanation on the
difference:
Sativas are usually day-time strains, used to
enhance the experience of social events, time in
nature or listening to new music. Caregivers
often recommend sativa strains for patients
seeking relief from depression, PTSD, fatigue
and some types of anxiety and pain. Some
patients even report positive effects on ADHD
while medicating with sativa strains. Although
sativas produce an enjoyable effect, they usually
are the culprit for an inexperienced user
"tweaking out" during one of their first times
smoking.
Indicas are often smoked at night due to their
narcotic effect on the user. Indica strains are
perfect for users suffering from any type of
pain, nausea or anxiety. They're also preferable
for novice users as they acclimate themselves to
the herb. This variety is popular for meditation
or yoga due to its mind-calming qualities.

Marijuana isn't for everyone. Nothing is for
everyone.
But should we be throwing those it is for in
cages?
I dare you to say yes.

Mattress shortage hits Moi uni students

Moi University students have
complained to the school over lack of
mattresses at the university.
Angry students disrupted lectures and
rallied at the University grounds to
express their frustrations on the issue.
Students claimed that the catering and
accommodation department has been
slow to act on the problem. The
University’s rules does not allow
sharing of beds.
Speaking to Campus Vibe, the
Student’s Union secretary general
Nathaniel Akadima blamed the
situation on “unscrupulous dealers”.
“We have had a series of meetings to
confirm the issue. It is not a face value
issue, and the university has failed to
procure mattresses. How do you buy
mattresses from Kisumu yet we have
Raiply in Eldoret? Akadima posed.
Later, while addressing the students,
Deputy VC Prof Nathan Ogech said:
“The mattresses shall be available as
confirmed, and I promise to take the
blame if the assurance is not met. The
students should maintain calm and
check on the next course of action if
their grievances are not solved as
promised.”

Octopizzo Selected to Compose this Year’s World Cup Anthem

By Tagawah
Only 32 nations make it to play in the 2014
FIFA World Cup, but the whole world can
participate and that’s why Octopizzo will be
representing Kenya, in a big way.
The official FIFA song, “We Are One (Ole Ola)” which
teams Pitbull with Jennifer Lopez and Brazilian singer
Claudia Leitte tells the world to “put your flags up in
the sky” and embrace the worldwide party that the
World Cup is bound to be.
Octopizzo, Lady Jay Dee and Brazilian-American 'X
Factor' Finalist, David Correy, have been selected by
Coca Cola (official sponsors of World Cup) to come up
with a non-official anthem alongside the the official
2014 FIFA World Cup anthem, which was released
Monday.

End of days? The 'Tetrad' could signal the end of the world as we know it

By GariHirriyuki Tagawah

The end of the world could be upon
us if some religious premonitions are
to be believed.
This week sees the beginning of a
cosmic phenomenon which some
Christians have linked to the end of
days.
A 'Tetrad' sees four "dark blood-red
moons" appear in the skies and is a
precursor to "hugely significant
events" say experts.
Pastor John Magee, who has written a
book on the subject, said: "This is not
something that some religious think
tank has put together.
"NASA has confirmed that the Tetrad
has only happened three times in
more than 500 years — and that it's
going to happen now."
On each of those occasions a
religiously significant event has
occurred.
The first Tetrad of those, in 1493, saw
the expulsion of Jews by the Catholic
Spanish Inquisition, while the second,
in 1949, saw the creation of the state
of Israel after years of confrontation
and struggle.
The Six-Day Arab-Israeli War marked
the third, in 1967 - far earlier than had
been expected.
The first of four-consecutive "blood-
red lunar eclipses" followed by six full
moons is set for this week, and will
climax on September 28 next year.
A NASA spokesman said: "This is the
first eclipse of the year and is well
placed for observers throughout the
Western Hemisphere.
"It will occur at the lunar orbit's
ascending node in Virgo. This is the
first of four consecutive total lunar
eclipses in 2014 and 2015 - a series
known as a Tetrad."
If the Bible is to be believed then the
Tetrad could even signal the second
coming of Jesus Christ.
Joel 2:31 says: "The sun shall be
turned into darkness, and the moon
into blood, before the great and the
terrible day of the LORD comes."

Be warned: Kissing could give you cancer

Kenya: The act of kissing, especially
deep kissing, can give you cancer, a
study carried out in Mombasa has
shown.
For more than a decade, it has been
known that a strain of the sexually
transmitted virus called herpes, which
is quite common in most people, is
linked to the development of the skin
cancer called Kaposi sarcoma.
However, scientists have been
investigating the most likely mode of
transmission of the herpes virus 8
from one person to another. Now,
they think saliva and mouth-to-mouth
interaction between people could be
it.
On Friday, researchers from the
universities of Nairobi and Washington
in US, published a partial report of
their findings from a study carried out
on 40 women in Mombasa. It indicates
close mouth-to-mouth interaction
could be the biggest possible route of
transmission.

A full report, given to the media
yesterday by one of the investigators,
Prof Walter Jaoko of the University of Nairobi, and one of the country’s top
HIV researchers, concludes that saliva
is the most likely source of
transmission.
The team says it found high
concentration of the herpes virus in
the saliva of 27 of the 40 study
participants. “Salivary transmission
may be an important route of
infection because the mouth proved
to be an important storage of the virus
from where it can be transmitted to
others, eventually causing skin cancer
in some.”
Cancerous agent
Prof Jaoko’s team says the human
herpes virus 8 or HHV 8 is the
cancerous agent that causes all forms
of the skin tumor – Kaposi sarcoma –
ranging between 40 and 80 per cent in
Kenya and much of Africa.
In the Mombasa study, samples were
collected daily for 30 days and sent to
the University of Washington for
analysis. The researchers say the rates
and quantities of herpes viruses found
in the Kenyan women was nearly
double what had been observed in
other studies in Africa and the United
States. “The study demonstrates high
rates and quantities of the herpes
virus residing in the throats of these
women and more so those infected
with HIV and with high CD4
counts.”Now the team is
recommending that to reduce the
incidence of this type of skin cancer,
people diagnosed with herpes and are
HIV positive be put on antiretroviral
drugs as early as possible.
The first scientific connection between
kissing and herpes infection was
raised in 2000 by researchers in
Washington University, the same
involved in the current investigation.
The team had tested saliva samples in
gay men in the US for the presence of
the herpes virus. Led by Dr John Pauk
they had compared the level of herpes
virus in saliva of these men with what
was found in other body fluids and
concluded that saliva was the most
possible rout of transmission to
others.
The study if confirmed, could have
serious implications not only in adult
socialisation but among mothers who
pre-chew food for their babies or are
in the habit of kissing their children.

Unable to sleep? Eleven ways you can trick yourself into dozing off

We all know that a hot, milky drink and
a warm bath are supposed to relax
you before bed, but many of us still
can’t slip into slumber.
Ten million prescriptions for sleeping
pills are written every year in England
alone and a survey by Crampex has
found that 86% of us suffer from sleep
disturbance.
But you can trick yourself to sleep by
trying these expert natural tips...
Inhale through your left nostril
This yoga method is thought to reduce
blood pressure and calm you. Holistic
sleep therapist Peter Smith says: “Lie
on your left side, resting a finger on
your right nostril to close it. Start slow,
deep breathing in the left nostril.”
Peter, author of Sleep Better With
Natural Therapies (£13.99, Singing
Dragon, out October 28), says this
technique is particularly good when
overheating or menopausal hot
flushes are preventing sleep.
Squeeze and relax
Relaxing all your muscles can prepare
your body for sleep. Anxiety expert
Charles Linden says: “Lying on your
back, take a deep, slow breath in
through your nose and, at the same
time, squeeze your toes tightly as if
you are trying to curl them under your
foot, then release the squeeze.”
The author of Stress Free in 30 Days
(£10.99, Hay House) adds: “On
another slow breath, curl your foot up
toward your knee, then release.
Breath again, contract your calf
muscles, then your thighs, buttocks,
belly, chest, arms, and so on until you
have moved all the way up your body,
squeezing and releasing the muscles
one by one.”
When you have gone from head to
toe, your breathing should be steady
and you should feel ready for sleep.
Try to stay awake
Challenge yourself to stay awake –
your mind will rebel! It’s called the
sleep paradox, says psychotherapist
Julie Hirst (worklifebalancecentre.org).
She explains: “Keep your eyes wide
open, repeat to yourself ‘I will not
sleep’. The brain doesn’t process
negatives well, so interprets this as an
instruction to sleep and eye muscles
tire quickly as sleep creeps up.”
Rewind your day
Remembering the mundane detail in
reverse order clears your mind of
worries. Sammy Margo, author of The
Good Sleep Guide (£10.99, Vermilion)
says: “Recall conversations, sights and
sounds as you go. It helps you to
reach a mental state that’s ready for
sleep.”
Roll your eyes
Sammy says that closing your eyes and
rolling the balls up three times can do
the job. She says: “It simulates what
you do naturally when you fall asleep
and may help trigger the release of
your sleepy hormone, melatonin.”

Just imagine
Visualisation meditation works best
when you use at least three senses.
Sammy explains: “Imagine yourself in
a situation where you feel content – a
tropical paradise, sailing on calm
waters, walking in flower fields.
“As you explore your ‘happy place’
imagine smelling flowers, feeling grass
or sand under your feet and hearing
water lap against the boat. You should
soon feel relaxed and drift off.”
Hum to yourself
This yoga meditation generates an all-
pervading sense of calm, says Dr Chris
Idzikowski, Edinburgh Sleep Centre
Director and author of Sound Asleep,
The Expert Guide To Sleeping Well
(£10.99, Watkins Publishing).
Sit in a comfortable position. Close
your eyes, drop your shoulders , relax
your jaw, but keep your mouth gently
closed. Breathe in through your nose
as deeply as is comfortable, ensuring
your abdomen, not chest, rises.
Dr Idzikowski says: “Breathe gently out
of your mouth, lips together so you
hum. Try to hum for the whole out-
breath. Notice how it vibrates in your
chest. Focus fully on this vibration over
six breaths then sit quietly for a
moment. Tell yourself ‘I am ready for
sleep’, get up slowly and go to bed.”
Press here!
There are special points in the body
which promote sleep when pressed
gently but firmly. Dr Idzikowski
suggests: “Put your thumb on the
point between your eyebrows at the
top of your nose, where there’s a
slight indent. Hold for 20 seconds,
release briefly and repeat twice more.
“Next, sit on the edge of the bed and
put your right foot across your left
knee. Find the slight indent between
your big toe and second toe and
press in the same way.
“Finally, still supporting your right foot,
find the point just below the nail on
the upper side of your second toe.
Using the thumb and forefinger of
your right hand, gently squeeze the
toe.”
Find your trigger
The key to this trick is to start the habit
as you drift off during a period when
you are sleeping well, then you can
use it when you have difficulty.
Do something unusual, such as
stroking your own cheek, as you nod
off, says hypnotherapist Sharon Stiles
(sharonstiles.co.uk). “Focus all your
attention on what the movement feels
like,” says Sharon. Over successive
nights, your body will learn to
associate it with sleep and repeating it
should convince your body it’s sleepy.
Take a breather

Breathing naturally slows as you fall
asleep. The NightWave Sleep Assistant,
£49 from nightwave.co.uk, projects a
soft blue light, which slowly rises and
falls on the ceiling. Synchronise your
breathing with the wave as it becomes
slower and you should fall asleep
within a seven-minute cycle,
Make a worry list
Going over a to-do list in bed is a
major cause of insomnia. Sharon Stiles
says: “Often it’s because you’re
frightened of forgetting what needs
doing. So before bed, write your list
on paper so you can forget it until
next day. You could also imagine filing
your thoughts in a cabinet. You’ll be
calmer and more likely to sleep.”
