Kent State shoots down Morehead State, 79-76
KENT, Ohio (AP)—Al Fisher scored 27 points, leading Kent State to its 8th-straight win Saturday over Morehead State, 79-76, at the MAC Center.
Morehead State led 31-29 at the half, and Kenneth Faried's tip-in with 5:27 left put Morehead State up 63-59.
But a free throw by Brandon Parks put the Golden Flashes ahead to stay, 64-63, with 2:54 left. That came during a decisive 18-5 run during which Fisher scored 13 points. Fisher was 7-of-13 from the field 13-of-14 at the line.
Tyree Evans had 19 points and Chris Singletary added 15 for the Golden Flashes (16-11).
Leon Buchanan scored a season-high 31 points for the Eagles (16-13), but it wasn't enough.
Faried had his 19th double-double of the season with 17 points and 12 rebounds. Demonte Harper had 15 points.

Guy Bourdin: Vogue
Guy Bourdin's shoots for Vogue between 1955 and 1987 were complete game-changers for the world of fashion photography. Prior to his arrival on the circuit, magazines were saturated with imagery that marginalized women and associated them predominantly with home-making and their lifelong quest to find a man. Bourdin's imagery brought a richer narrative to the fashion world, taking clothing and turning it into costumes within surrealist set-pieces, effectively making clothes about escapism and standing apart from the crowd, not just fitting in.

Brazil's Straw Hat project helps women leave abusive situations
A look at Switzerland's entrenched gun culture
19 Sep 2013 19:26 GMT | Politics, Africa, Chad, France, Gabon
Leaders from across Africa and France watched the inauguration of Mali President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita in front of thousands of his supporters as the nation entered a new era of democracy after months of political chaos.
Idriss Deby of Chad, the Ivory Coast's Alassane Ouattara and Moroccan king Mohammed VI were prominent guests among numerous heads of state invited to welcome the new leader on Thursday, elected by a landslide on August 11.
In many ways the ceremony at the 55,000-seat March 26 Stadium in the capital Bamako held most significance for France -- drawing a line under what has been viewed as one of the more successful foreign interventions by a Western power in recent decades.
A place of honour was reserved for the French President Francois Hollande, who launched a military action in January, aided by African troops, and defeated armed groups linked to al-Qaeda who occupied northern Mali last year.
"We are at the successful conclusion, because it is a victory, a big victory for Mali that we celebrate together today," Hollande said to loud applause.
The ceremony began with Hollande and Keita standing before the Malian flag for the national anthem before Hollande addressed the crowd ahead of musical and cultural performances and military marches.
Keita pledged to unite Mali and end endemic corruption as he was sworn in on September 4 to lead the deeply-divided west African nation's emergence from months of political crisis sparked by a military coup in March last year.
"I will not forget for a moment that you put me where I am to take care of all aspects of the life of our nation. National reconciliation remains the most urgent priority," he said after taking the oath to preserve the constitution, democracy and the rule of law.
I want to reconcile hearts and minds, restore true brotherhood between us so that all the different people can play their part harmoniously in the national symphony.
Mali's President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita
"For many Malians and indeed for the international community the conduct of a violence-free election was always a far more desirable outcome than ensuring electoral due process and fairness and in this respect, the peaceful conclusion of the election was sufficient to label the whole exercise a 'success'," said Manji Cheto, a London-based analyst with the Africa Practice think-tank in a recent blog post.
Pledge to unite
France's engagement in Mali, however, is more nuanced and less straightforward than a simple mission to free the former colony from the clutches of the rebels, and in many senses Thursday's ceremony marks a beginning rather than an end to French involvement.
"Given French strategic interests in the region - from uranium mining, or oil and gas exploration by French companies in the Sahel, the prospects of oil exploration in northern Mali itself, and protecting France's broader political interests in West Africa - it would be reasonable to assume that Paris had never intended the troop withdrawal to mark an end to its engagement in Mali," Cheto said.
Although France never officially backed a candidate in the presidential election, most analysts in Bamako believed it was cheering on Keita's rival Soumaila Cisse, a committed "Francophile".
Now Paris will be relying on its second choice to forward its interests in the region by making good on his pledge when he was sworn in on September 4 to unite Mali and end endemic corruption in the deeply-divided west African nation.
"I want to reconcile hearts and minds, restore true brotherhood between us so that all the different people can play their part harmoniously in the national symphony," Keita, 68, said.
Keita's election in the first presidential polls since 2007 was seen as crucial for unlocking more than $4 bn in aid promised by international donors who halted contributions in the wake of last year's coup.
The return to democracy has been praised by Hollande, who will be accompanied by four senior ministers and is expected to hold talks with Keita on security, reconciliation, economic recovery and the fight against corruption.

According to Ben Volin of the Palm Beach Post, the Miami Dolphins are still in the mix to land free agent cornerback Brent Grimes.
The Dolphins could use a player like Grimes with Sean Smith now on Kansas City.
Grimes has drawn a lot of interest after suffering an Achilles injury this past season. My guess is he'll sign a one-year deal with a team, so he can prove he's healthy.


text: CLEMSON -- Fall down 55 times; stand up 56.Clemson travels today (4 p.m., ESPN) to Chapel Hill, N.C., where it has never won a men's basketball game. The Tigers are 0 for 55 at North Carolina.North Carolina is heavily favored to win for a 56th straight time at home against Clemson (13-12, 5-6 ACC), which would extend what is already an NCAA-worst road losing streak in a head-to-head matchup. The No. 8 Tar Heels (22-4, 9-2) are loaded with future NBA talent, including point guard Kendall Marshall and forward Harrison Barnes (17.7 points per game), who is projected to be a lottery pick.Clemson is loaded, too - loaded with inexperience. Six freshmen will make their first trip to the Smith Center today, an awe-inspiring place where banners embroidered with the names Jordan and Worthy hang high above the court.It will be the last chance for seniors like Tanner Smith and Andre Young to end the streak. Smith knows what it's like to be a young player entering the basketball shrine."The first time, you look up and they've got, like, 400 jerseys hanging in the rafters," Smith said. "We've got four. It shows the history they have. You walk in that place, and you get hit with it immediately. ... They're an up-and-down team, and the runs can happen quick; the place gets going in a hurry."Marshall can push the tempo. The sophomore point guard has excellent court vision and is second in the nation with 9.6 assists per game. Barnes has prototype 6-8 size and an NBA-ready jump shot. The Tar Heels also have size with 6-10 forward John Henson and 7-foot center Tyler Zeller.North Carolina is averaging 18 more points per game than Clemson.Clemson coach Brad Brownell is accustomed to being an underdog in taking UNC-Wilmington and Wright State into NCAA tournaments. He takes on the ultimate underdog role today."Every time you turn on a Carolina-Clemson game, (the streak) is the first thing they open with," Brownell said. "Spending time in North Carolina, watching games, you can't help but hear about it. It's not anything we talk about with our players. We talk about the strengths and weaknesses of North Carolina, weaknesses and a lot of strengths."Our plan is to win the game."Clemson nearly ended the streak in 2008 when Clemson led by 11 with three minutes to play before losing, 103-93, in double overtime. Clemson's closest loss from a points-margin standpoint was a 24-23 loss in 1936."(Brownell) hasn't said anything to us (about the streak)," Smith said. "We know about it. There's not much he needs to say. Every year is a new opportunity to do it. ... We'll go up there with the mindset to get a tough victory in a tough atmosphere. I don't think it's coincidence we've played them pretty tough the last couple of years."

"He went on two legs, wore clothes and was a human being, but nevertheless he was in reality a wolf of the Steppes. He had learned a good deal . . . and was a fairly clever fellow. What he had not learned, however, was this: to find contentment in himself and his own life. The cause of this apparently was that at the bottom of his heart he knew all the time (or thought he knew) that he was in reality not a man, but a wolf of the Steppes."
Yes, $16.98 for 100 rounds of 40S&W at Wally World is not bad, but that's 17 cents per round. I reload 155/165 gr 40S&W rounds for $8.68 per 100, or less than 9 cents a round. You can't get less expensive ammo unless you steal it.
CCI Blazer aluminum at Natchez is the best deal I've found
While it is true that reloading is cheaper overall you still have the start up costs that will make it worth while in the long run but the start up is not what most people look at. On the other hand WalMart does have the best prices if you compare total cost vs online total costs.
In the end Wally world for those that do not reload and of course reloading for those of us that do. This is unless you have your "I do not pay shipping costs" card that is given to you when you go to work on the third tuesday of next week...

Translation by Alexander Thomson, revised and corrected by T. Forester.
senus, a native of Gaul. He himself tells us, in his little work called "Indignatio," that he was born free, and being left an orphan, was exposed to be easily stripped of his patrimony during the licence of Sylla's administrations. He had a great number of distinguished pupils, and was highly esteemed as a preceptor suited to those who had a poetical turn, as appears from these short lines:
Cato grammaticus, Latina Siren, Qui solus legit ac facit poetas.
Cato, the Latin Siren, grammar taught and verse, To form the poet skilled, and poetry rehearse.
Besides his Treatise on Grammar, he composed some poems, (515) of which, his Lydia and Diana are most admired. Ticida mentions his "Lydia."
Lydia, doctorum maxima cura liber. "Lydia," a work to men of learning dear.
Cinna [873] thus notices the "Diana."

Historical Traveler Reviews Sun Palace Cancun
Great vacation!
After researching Cancun resorts for 2 months on the internet, we selected Sun Palace --- what a great place! These reviews do not lie! The hotel is beautiful and clean, the service is the best, and the food is absolutely delicious! We definitely plan on going back!We stayed June 4 - June 8. Weather was great - hot & humid but it only rained about 5 minutes. There is always a great breeze by the pool or on the beach.The great part about staying at the Sun Palace is that you can go to any of the other sister resorts and eat, swim, workout... We visited the Cancun Palace is much bigger and a much busier place. The beach at the Cancun Palace is nicer than at the Sun Palace. The Moon Palace and Moon Palace Sunrise are spacious and beautiful. You have got to see the pool! XPu Ha is really neat, too. We found that for our tastes, the Sun Palace suited us. There were a lot of activities all day long, but it was not a wild party.Tours --- The trip to Tulum/XPu-Ha is well worth it. Tulum does not take the whole day, but is very interesting. And there's a nice breeze there since it is on the ocean. (Can't say that for Chichen Itza). Snorkeling and kayaking at XPu-Ha was fun, too.Isla Mujeras tour was a blast! Ask for Mario as your tour guide! They give you a great party! When shopping downtown, do not pay more than $10 USD for a hemp hammock! They were begging us to buy!Jungle Tour thru AquaFun was fun, too. We chose the jet boat instead of the jet skis. Bring your sunscreen! The snorkeling was awesome!Cancun and Sun Palace really is a great place to stay!
The Best Hotel In Cancun For Sure
Just got back from the Sun Palace on June 1st. The last time we were there was 3 years ago and I couldn't say enough good things about the resort then. It has surpassed my expectations. They have remodeled the lobby bar as well as the front desk area. They have improved on the service. Nothing and I mean nothing will they not do for you. It was our second time there and I believe it's the only place we will stay. We like the location, the size, the service, the cleanliness and the friendliness of everyone there staff as well as administration. All of the administrative staff came to the pool to introduce themselves and were always visible if you needed anything. First class resort all the way.
Before going on this trip I came across this website which gave me some helpful advice and I am writing this to return that favor for future Sun Palace Travelers. My Wife and I traveled the period of May 24 - May 31, 2003 and we had an excellent time. We flew Mexicana Airlines, the airport experience was not pleasant! DO NOT BUY ANY TOURS FROM THE PEOPLE IN THE AIRPORT, they will try very hard to get you to their hut on your way out in exiting the airport, we got caught. They want a cash deposit from you to book a tour, all tours can be booked from the hotel. All the people in Cancun are very nice, some of the staff knows english a bit better than the other, but they ALL try, cannot say the same for the people in South Florida. The food was abundant and good, alcohol around every corner and rooms, pool area and beach were very clean. The entertainment staff was fun and every day was like a party! We went to a few clubs downtown, absolutely try CocoBong nightclub, what an amazing place. We traveled to all the palaces: Beach Palace was good for parents with small kids, Cancun Palace was for the 18 year old crowd, Moon and Sun Palace was a mixed crowd. We went on 2 tours, Tulune, which is a Mayan Ruin site, was ok. The other tour was a visit to the island of Mujures, was a boat ride and shopping day. Very fun time, party on the boat both ways and excellent diving and snorkeling. Shopping downtown was different, do not take the price they give you for anything, always take the price down a few bucks, they will take it! Only negative to the Sun Palace is they go to room service for food just after 10:30pm, No food downstairs after that time. In general, Fun, relaxing, and you can party, shop or just sleep the day and night away. Positive recommedation and will return soon!
The Sun Palace is one of the smaller Palace resorts. It has a little over 200 rooms and Three resturants. I found the guest to be older, couples, or honeymooners. It is a quiet place with a low keyed approach. The food was terrific, the rooms great, and the service was the best I ever had. That includes Sandals, beaches etc. If you want action take a 10 minute bus ride to The Cancun Palace. You can visit every Palace resort, eat and use their facilities free. The Sun Palace is A++++ and highly recommended.
A good choice
My wife & I are returning to the Sun on July 13th after a two year absence. We first stayed there in Sept of '01. The place is GREAT! Only about 235 rooms, so you don't get lost in the croud. The help was far better & friendlier than we expected. They actually seemed happy to have a job, which is more than I can say about some other people I've met lately. The food was very good; not excelent, but very good & plenty of it, including free room service. Tipping is not required but a couple of bucks(literaly a couple) here & there gets you waited on like a celebrity. The pool was our favorite, complete with bar, wait staff & a buffet from mid morning til late afternoon. About five young guys & gals keep you entertained from 10-6PM with DJ style music, pool vollyball, bingo, trivia & constant fun. Marcos & his partner were great bartenders & allways in a good mood. Also, you can enjoy a different show nightly in a beautifull theater. And don't forget the sunrise walk on the beach, if the hangover permits. Overall, a very good choice! Enjoy! Vinnie
It was the BEST Vacation of my life!
You have never had a real vacation until you have stayed at the Sun Palace in Cancun, Mexico! The people bend over backwards for you. The weather, rooms, and food is excellent. This was my third year at the Sun Palace and I am making reservations to go back again next year. To be treated like royalty, stay at the Sun Palace in Cancun. Trust me, you will not regret it!
Dream of a Beach!
My husband and I spent 4 days at this wonderful resort. We were extremely well taken care of, from the minute we walked in the door our bags wisked away and we were served champagne in the lounge as we cked in! We became fast friends with Nancy, Ernesto, and Angel, the best and most attentive people working the pool bar and beach. It was fun taking the crazy bus to the street vendor area in the hotel district, but the best buying was on the beach. Great deals and funner than internet shopping. The Sun Palace security will make sure you aren't bothered though, I noticed a security person stand by me the whole time my husband went to get money to buy his souvenier. Food was fantastic, loved the woman that made our morning omelets! The beach was heavenly, perfect sand, like brown sugar, less the brown and sticky. Water warm, clear, and gorgeous... Will go back again, we enjoyed 4 days at the spa palace and 4 days at the sun palace and loved the two totally different palace.
Dream come true!
WOW!! it was wonderful, beautiful. The treatment we rec'd was great and overwhelming. Clean, cozy,and friendly. I would stay no where else. The food was unending and so delicious. The Pina Colada's, Mmmmmmm.
A Wonderful Time.
My husband and I stayed at the Sun Palace 9/8/02-9/15/02. I can honestly say that we had a wonderful time. The resort is first class from the moment you enter. We were checked in while sitting in the lobby area sipping pina coladas. The food was good, especially breakfast. We often had made to order omelets, waffles and smoothies. The resort was quiet during our stay. There is different nightly entertainment. The staff waited on us hand and foot. We would definitely return. If there was one negative aspect about the resort, it would be the small red ants that seem to come out only at night. Other than that, it was great. Best time we've ever had. Oh yeah, the waves on the beautiful beach appear to be harmless until you go in. Beware. The waves nearly knocked the wind out of me. But it was still a great time.
Great Hotel! The food was amazing, the rooms were extremely well kept and clean, the service was great. The workers were very friendly. On the downside, it was so windy that I couldn't even get in the water past my knees without doing cartwheels in the water after. Also, the majority of the occupants is older and not the typical 18-25 crowd characteristic of Cancun.

Travel Blogs from Cancun
Lazy Day number lost count
We've had probably more than our fair share of lazy days in the 2nd half of the trip and about to add more. Perhaps a combination of all the previous day's travel and the time difference (the state Cancun is located in recently implemented a time change) added to a sense of lethargy and unwillingness to do much. We ended up wandering the touristy 5th Avenue and made a pit stop at the beach before chilling out some more. Headed out again in the afternoon and found ...
Day 42
We had to get up early for the Ireland v Wales match so we packed the last of our things and walked around Playa Del Carmen looking for a bar that would show it. There wasn't a single place that had the match on so we had to watch it on a computer on one of those **** live streams. Wasn't the result we were hoping for but they gave it socks in fairness to them. Got a quick breakfast and caught the 30 minute shuttle bus up to Cancun. To be honest with you I was ...
Cancún – But This Time for Real
... a meeting with Sergio and his friend for the night. Also talked to a few other people in the hostel about tips on what to do in Cancun. While the girls got ready to go out to a bar, I had finally gotten in touch with Sergio, and we decided to meet up at night. While we were waiting for Sergio, I went with the girls to a Mexican restaurant, where we all had 'Tortas' in various options. Tortas are buns stuffed with all kinds of stuff. Remember ...
We climbed aboard our ferry from Cancun to Isla Mujeres, (Spanish for Island of the Woman) the four of us were all so pumped to finally be together. This was the moment we'd all been waiting for!!! Isla Mujeres was absolutely beautiful. A tropical oasis only 7kms long and 650 meters wide. It was peak season to visit the island and getting nearly any accomodation for two nights had proven to be almost impossible. So after finding a really nice place on the ...
Beer blog update
... remains Mutzig but beer lao dark is also very good.
Well I have been pretty poor at keeping this up to date - have obviously been too busy sampling beers. Anyhow once we left South East Asia behind and landed in Australia my task became even more enjoyable - I was into a world of pale ales and other such aley goodness. Add to that lots of wine and rum then I should probably expand this blog but the beer part is proving challenging enough!

Living in Hong Kong with all the family in the UK, Moonpig is a great way to send cards and gifts. I know they will arrive on time and safely and I've never had a bad experience since I began using Moonpig 3 or 4 years ago.
It's saved me more than a few times when I have left it too late to send a card long distance and the personalization aspect is great. More variety of gifts would be great. Keep up the good work!

I received several emails notifying me when my order was received, processed, and on it's way to my home. I am very pleased with my purchase."

I attended one of the first Amazing Faiths dinners in 2008 in northwest Oklahoma City and met other Christians as well as Jews and Muslims. The meal was delicious and the discussion, led by a trained facilitator, was illuminating.
I'd like to think that my dinner partners and I got to know each other beyond the boundaries of polite conversation and faith.
Singh said that is the idea.
Sharing a meal together is one of the best ways to get to know someone. Through Amazing Faiths, it also is a good way to learn about your neighbors whose faith is different from your own.

Japan's 787 probe finds battery short-circuiting
The Japan Transportation Safety Board said that CAT scans and other analysis found damage to all eight cells in the battery that overheated on the All Nippon Airways 787 on Jan. 16, which prompted an emergency landing and probes by both U.S. and Japanese aviation safety regulators.
They also found signs of short-circuiting and "thermal runaway," a chemical reaction in which rising temperature causes progressively hotter temperatures. U.S. investigators found similar evidence in the battery that caught fire last month on a Japan Airlines 787 parked in Boston.
Photos distributed by the Japanese investigators show severe charring of six of the eight cells in the ANA 787's battery and a frayed and broken earthing wire — meant to minimize the risk of electric shock.
All 50 Boeing 787s in operation are grounded as regulators and Boeing investigate the problem. The Japanese probe is focusing on flight data records and on the charger and other electrical systems connected to the damaged battery.
Lithium ion batteries are more susceptible to catching fire when they overheat or to short-circuit than other types of batteries. Boeing built in safeguards to gain safety certification for use of the relatively light and powerful batteries to power various electrical systems on the 787, the world's first airliner made mostly from lightweight composite materials.
Investigators earlier said they found no evidence of quality problems with production of the 787's batteries by Kyoto, Japan-based, GS Yuasa.

Is seeing believing? For some off-plan buyers, brochures do not tell the truth.
In 2013, Ms. Juliet Mazera decided she needed a house to call her own. After searching all over Nairobi for a house that would fit the bill of what she wanted, she stumbled upon a swanky gated community off the new Thika Highway on Kamiti Road.
The property development, which we cannot name in this article because the developers refused to talk to us, was the perfect place to be; the houses were modern, the location just a few minutes' drive from Nairobi, the gardens lush, the walkways carob-paved, a huge perimetre wall to ward off louts, they were putting up a school inside the development… everything was perfect, and Ms. Mazera was hooked.
At the time the idea of gated communities was just beginning to pick up, and this was high up there in the quality and affordability scale. Phase One and Two were already complete, and oh, weren't they beautiful on the glossy brochures! "For Sh7.6 million, we were offered a three-bedroom house in a gated community that had a fitness Center, a clubhouse and abundance of fresh air, among other appealing attributes," says Ms. Mazera.
Role of property management in real estate growth.
In the past decade the skylines of Kenya's cities and towns have been filled with magnificent skyscrapers.
They are statements of purpose, commercial success and faith in the future. Every day we see new ones and that counts for something in the form of income generation and employment for more than 70 per cent unemployed youth. What is not so visible is the upkeep of these structures over the short and long term. Property management is meant to capture both the value of the structure in terms of longevity of its technical life, as well as a reliable regular revenue stream.
Maintenance can be done in different stages. Reginald Lee defined those stages as follows:
- Planning and design stage – which should be based on intended use and be as maintenance free as possible. In this stage a lot of money can be saved with the proper plan and design. For this reason, the building manager and maintenance personnel should be consulted during the early stages of the building design.
Prices of posh homes drop as supply rises in Nairobi.
Prices of luxurious homes in Nairobi fell slightly during the first three months of the year, according to a Knight Frank report. The Knight Frank Prime Global Cities Index quarterly report released last week ranks prime residential markets in 35 cities worldwide. It states Nairobi recorded a one per cent decline in prices of posh homes between December 2014 and March 2015.
Supply of high-end homes slightly exceeded demand, mainly due to developers responding to the rising foreign investor interest in Nairobi over the past few years. This is in addition to an expanding pool of local high-net-worth individuals seeking to buy trophy homes. The moderate growth in supply created room for price negotiation between buyers and developers, Knight Frank added.
Chinese firm builds holiday homes in Mombasa.
Chinese firm Sultan Palace is developing 198 vacation homes at the Kenyan Coast for sale despite the ailing hospitality sector in that region.The units comprise 50 coral stone beach houses, 16 villas and 132 condos.
General manager Liu Tiancai said hotel closures in the region have created accommodation shortage which is expected to boost the demand for vacation homes."The decline in tourism numbers is only a short term occurrence. We have invested at the Coast because we believe that the country still has the potential to return to its glorious days sooner than many think," he said.
Kariobangi property owners sue Kenya Roads Authority over Outer Ring demolitions.
Seven Kariobangi residents have moved to court seeking to have the Kenya Urban Roads Authority (Kura) stopped from demolishing their properties. This comes shortly after Kura marked eight structures at Kariobangi Light Industries on Outer Ring Road for demolition.
The road expansion has been long in coming. But the property owners say identification and marking of structures for demolition has been done without following laid down procedures of acquisition.
Valley View Business Park offers tranquil serenity in a bustling city.
The Valley View Business Park is proof that functionality is not the only factor that property developers consider when designing a commercial space. If anything, opulence and lavish comfort can also be part and parcel of the final product. The business park, an 11-storey twin towers, took three years to construct and is now ready for occupation.
According to Villa Care Limited, the selling and letting agents managing Business Park, interested parties seeking to occupy the facilities can do so from as early as Tuesday this week to May 10, 2015.Situated near Nairobi's City Park; it is sandwiched between the Mathare River and Muthaiga estate, as well as the proposed M15A highway and City Park Nature Reserve.
Here's how to buy a house without paying any deposit.
To the vast majority of urban Kenyans, owning a home remains is a pipe dream. In fact, according to the National Housing Survey Report released earlier this year by the Cabinet Secretary for Lands, Housing and Urban Development, Mrs. Charity Ngilu, only 4.2 per cent of Kenyan households could borrow money to buy or build a house. This explains why the number of households paying rent rose from 17.25per cent in 1994 to 23.8per cent in 2005/06.
It is with this in mind that one property developer, Kings Pride Properties, has come up with what it calls the "zero deposit route" to owning a home. The firm's chairman, Maj (rtd) David Karau, says they have been working ways to enable the youth, as well as lower-middle and middle-income earners, to afford their own homes.
Trick to building on black cotton soil
When Martin Wang'ombe went to inspect a plot he wanted to buy in Oloolua in Ngong, he noticed something unusual about his would-be neighbour's house. It seemed to be slanting and had a huge crack on the wall. As he would later learn, the house was sinking, sucked in by the black cotton soil on which it stood. It turned out that the plot was in an area where the soil was more than 10 feet deep.
Normally, black cotton soil swells when wet and shrinks when dry. These changes, known as shrink-swell, tend to make the foundation sink deeper with time, leading to structural damage to a house built on such soil. During the construction of the house mentioned earlier, the contractor did make it rest on the bedrock, so the shallow foundation started sinking once the soil began swelling and contracting.
Two rivers development, which is a project of the Centum Company, has attracted USD 155 Million funding or over Kes.14 billion in debt and equity from The Co-operative Bank of Kenya Limited and AVIC International, Industrial & Commercial Development Corporation ("ICDC").
A sum of USD 70 Million (over Kes. 6.3 Billion) in equity has been invested in the project by the AVIC international Company. This is in addition to the USD 5 Million (over Kes. 450 Million) in equity invested by the Industrial and Commercial Development Corporation of Kenya. Also, the Co-operative Bank of Kenya has secured a local debt funding of USD 80 Million (over Kes. 7.2 Billion).
Nairobi, Mombasa and Kiambu have most expensive rental homes: Study
According to a report released by the Lands and Urban Planning Ministry, residents of Nairobi County are the ones who pay the highest rents in the Country. They are followed by Mombasa and Kiambu.
The most expensive neighbourhoods are from Nairobi fetching the highest value in the rental market. The report has it that 58,248 houses rent is above Sh20,000 per month. Three quarters of these are in Nairobi while 7,009 (or 12 per cent) are in the neighbouring Kiambu County.
The county of Mombasa owns 7% of the most expensive rental homes, Eldoret owns 1% of the most expensive homes in the whole country, its then followed by Lamu, Kericho, Kakamega and Isiolo.

60's style family resortPosted Jul 3, 2014
Pros: Family atmosphere with activities outside as well as location to Cambria, easy walking distance to beach, and it was close to Hearst Castle.
Cons: I personally would update the bedding, seemed like this would be a good invesment. Also, improve breakfast. Super 8 style food choices being served
Location: It's an easy 3 minute walk to the beach and a viewing area. Restaurants and shops all within a five minute drive- either on the coast or in Cambria.
We were looking for a typical motel/type room along the beach with that 60's flare we remember from road trips with our parents. We found it! Staff very accommodating and helpful. Rooms large and very clean with operable windows for lots of fresh air. The bedding and furniture is dated, but still comfortable. We loved going out at sunset and golfing on the "mini 9 hole golf course" they had. What a view from Hole 3 with the ocean right there and crashiing waves! It made for a very beautiful setting. We loved the location to Cambria and the Hearst Castle. There was plenty to do nearby and great restaurants in Cambria to sample as well.

Older hotel, beautiful grounds and on the ocean.Posted Mar 31, 2014
Pros: The people are very nice and the location is beautiful. It is also right next to the ocean.
Cons: This hotel needs a huge overhaul.
This hotel is an older, non updated hotel. Don't expect down comforters and beautiful modern furniture at this hotel. The furnishings are old, but clean. I haven't stayed at a hotel that has a wall heater, a bottle opener attached to the wall in the bathroom and an actual real key to open the door in a very long time. It is located on the ocean and has the cutest 9 hole/ 3 par golf course. Truly it is old and needs much updating, but it is clean and very quiet.

Pros: Cute old-timey feel to the rooms, kinda vintage. Its not a modernized look, but I love the charm of the rooms. high ceilings.
Cons: small windows in the bathroom let air in constantly made for a cold trip to the bathroom in the morning.
Location: Close to restaurants, beach, walking trails. Guests were sunbathing at the pool.
Cute hotel a little down the ways from the main row of hotels on moonstone beach. A quick walk down to the ocean, great views.

Excellent Hotel for Visiting Rome!
After staying at this hotel for almost a week, I can confidently say that this Hotel was superb in terms of location (across the street from one of the major basilicas and about a 15 minute walk to the colosseum), cleanliness, and value. The
breakfast buffet at the rooftop restaurant, which is included, was excellent, although some variety could be added from day to day as the only possible suggestion for improvement. The staff was friendly and the only issue we had was with the wifi, which worked perfectly until the last couple days of our stay when it was not functioning and not repaired despite our complaint. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and I would highly recommend this hotel.
After visiting many different restaurants near the hotel, I can confidently say that L'Angolodi Napoli, located at Via Agostino De Pretis, 77/a was one of the best in terms of customer service, quality of food and overall value. The restaurant is only a ten minute walk from the hotel and is great for both couples and families. The staff was friendly and not pushy like many other restaurants in the area. I would highly recommend it if you are visiting Rome.
Good Hotel, Great location!
Nothing bad to say, but nothing extraordinary either. Good Value!
staff is awesome
Stayed 2 nights after a cruise. Located 2 or so blocks from Termini train station. Arrived prior to check in time of 1pm and was allowed to leave luggage at no extra fee. Took the opportunity to sightsee using one of the sightseeing buses. They
pick up by Santa Maria Maggiore which is the church right across the street from this hotel, although the pick up spot is basically 2 blocks away. Original reservation was for 1 night but needed to extend a day due to flight cancellation. Staff was very accommodating. They arranged for airport taxi at 3:30am for an early morning flight they also packed us a breakfast. The breakfast they serve (included in hotel price) has a variety of choices ie. pastries, salami, boiled eggs, breads, cereals, juices, yoghurt. Note, the elevator does not go all the way up to the roof breakfast/dinner area, you have to climb a number of stairs.
Room we had had a balcony but didn't face the church. You could still see the church if you went out on the balcony. Old world style rooms with funky features like heated towel bar and make up mirror, also blow dryer. Bed was comfortable and the room walls were covered in a patterned, padded material which was very pretty.
They have a computer in the lobby which you can use free of charge to check in and print boarding passes. Would definitely stay there again.
buses to fuminico (FCO) airport leave right outside termini station for under 5 euros, you do not have to have reservations and you pay as you board.
great location, great staff, grat breakfast
It was a great experience, I will recommend to all my friends, I will always come back, Thank you Rome!
Great hotel for the site seers location excellent
Staff very friendly and most can speak good English
Rooms spacious and clean but on the negative the hotel bar was very small and expensive search for bars around the area drinks and food nearly half the price
Lots of small cafés with good food at a reasonable price around the area . Must try some of the irish bars close by.
Great central location
Great central location a few minutes from Termini where the airport bus arrives and easy walking distance to the attractions in the old Roman centre. For the Spanish Steps/Trevi/Vatican you can either enjoy a longer stroll or take a direct Metro
which is very close to the hotel. Our room was a bit small but clean and nicely furnished. It was also well insulated from the city traffic but not from the noisy lift unfortunately. Breakfast was ok but no more than that. Staff were friendly and English speaking. Would be happy to use again.
Try the 'Old Marconi' which is supposedly an Irish pub. Although it does sell Guinness and Kilkenny bitter it's much more of a restaurant. We had 2 great meals there including very cheap and decent house wine. Hiro was great and I assume he must be the only Japanese waiter speaking perfect English in Rome.
Excellent breakfast and great location.
Great hotel within walking distance of the ancient city. Located only 4 or 5 blocks from the main train/bus station and one block from a hop on/ hop off bus stop. We were three people and were given a room in the executive section of the hotel - a
separate building two doors down, up one flight of stairs and just off a charming courtyard. Our room had two single beds and a pullout sofa bed, large bathroom with jacuzzi tub, table , fridge and dishwasher (!) Perhaps this section had once been apartments . Buffet Breakfast was included and featured a large selection of pastries, cold meats, fresh fruits, cheeses, quiche, and cereals . This was all served in their beautiful rooftop restaurant with a wonderful view of the city. Personnel at the front desk were extremely helpful and accommodating . I would happily return to this hotel.
I thoroughly enjoyed my week long stay at the Mecenate Palace Hotel. The staff were very efficient, accommodating, and promptly responded to all my requests. My bed was very comfortable, my room had everything I needed, and the towel warmer in the
bathroom was particularly awesome! The restaurant on the roof terrace is a nice option and the views of the city, and Santa Maria Maggiore in particular, were lovely.
The location is perfect for traveling - the metro is a short walk down the block, the buses across the street go to many of the major tourist sites in about 15minutes (or connect to buses that do), and the Termini station is about 4-5 blocks away. There are also a number of small cafes and restaurants in the immediate area that offer a variety of coffee, sweets, sandwiches, pizzas, and tasty meals. There's even a neighborhood mercato on nearby via Meraluna.
Walking back to the hotel late at night or departing early morning was not a problem, even when there were not that many people out and about. I am glad that I did not chose a hotel in the immediate vicinity of the train station.
The Mecenate is one of the nicest hotels around Santa Maria Maggiore and I would definitely stay again when I come back to Rome.
Excellent hotel
We had a great stay at this hotel. It's conveniently located near to Termini station and walking distance from the historic centre. Rooms were large and comfortable and very clean. There was a good selection at breakfast and we also used the room
service which was good value and quick. The staff were friendly and spoke English.
Perfect hotel
Mecenate Palace Hotel is close to almost everything you would like to see in Rome - walking distance from the Forum and the Coliseum, close to the Metro if you would like to go to the Vatican and other famous places. Very friendly staff, good
food, nice rooms.
Plenty of nice and not expensive restaurants around.

I have heard a lot of good things about FSD, especially in working with international development organizations in the past decade. Their model of volunteer-based development work is more respectful of local wisdom than most other programs and promotes actually sustainable progress.

A pair of surveys by Harris Interactive found that young people in the US are spending at a projected rate of $164 billion per year, and e-commerce has become one of the avenues by which they spend. In fact, e-commerce spending among those ages 18 to 24 is more than four times the rate of e-commerce spending among all adults.
E-commerce spending among 18 to 24 year olds in the US is more than four times the rate of e-commerce spending among all adults, according to the Nickelodeon Online/Harris Interactive KidPulse and the MTV/Harris Interactive YouthPulse studies.
The US online population age 8 to 24 are spending at a projected rate of $164 billion per year, the studies found, and is also saving at a rate of $54 billion annually. E-Commerce spending amounts to 13 percent of their total spending.
The 13 to 24 age group are spending their money on clothes, pre-recorded music, movie tickets, and books. This varies by gender: females are more likely than males to buy clothing (75 percent vs. 52 percent); shoes (40 percent vs. 23 percent); and camera film (36 percent vs. 18 percent). Males are more likely than females to buy computer software (43 percent vs. 7 percent); stereo equipment (21 percent vs. 8 percent); and video games/systems (26 percent vs. 5 percent).

Online kids ages 8 to 12 also purchase books and pre-recorded music, but toys and games are popular items for children as well. When comparing the spending habits of 8 to 12 year-old boys and girls, girls are more likely than boys to buy clothes (25 percent vs. 7 percent), and boys are more likely to buy video games/systems (42 percent vs. 7 percent).
"Online kids are very involved in family purchases," said Melva Goffney, Director of Research and Planning at Nickelodeon Online. "For instance, this study showed that 75 percent of online 8 to 12 year olds influence which groceries the family buys. Almost half (49 percent) influence their parents clothing choices. And 7 in 10 said they have a major influence on where the family decides to go on vacation."
The studies found that 63 percent of online 13 to 24 year olds say they will spend more online in the future than they do today.
"Advertisers using new media need to realize that the Internet influences more than dircet e-commerce spending," said John Geraci, VP of Youth Research at Harris Interactive. "This study found that 69 percent of online 13 to 24 year olds research products online before they buy them in traditional, bricks-and-mortar outlets."
There are 65.4 million 8 to 24 year olds in the US, a 6 percent increase from 10 years ago. The Harris Interactive studies were conducted online, and interviewed 3,878 respondents in July of 2000.
