If type 2 diabetes was an infectious disease, passed from one person to another, public health officials would say we're in the midst of an epidemic. This difficult disease, once called adult-onset diabetes, is striking an ever-growing number of adults. Even more alarming, it's now beginning to show up in teenagers and children.

More than 24 million Americans have diabetes; of those, about 6 million don't know they have the disease. () In 2007, diabetes cost the U.S. an estimated $116 billion in excess medical spending, and an additional $58 billion in reduced productivity. ( ) If the spread of type 2 diabetes continues at its present rate, the number of people diagnosed with diabetes in the United States will increase from about 16 million in 2005 to 48 million in 2050. ( ) Worldwide, the number of adults with diabetes will rise from 285 million in 2010 to 439 million in the year 2030. ( )
The problems behind the numbers are even more alarming. Diabetes is the leading cause of blindness and kidney failure among adults. It causes mild to severe nerve damage that, coupled with diabetes-related circulation problems, often leads to the loss of a leg or foot. Diabetes significantly increases the risk of heart disease. And it's the sixth leading cause of death in the U.S., directly causing almost 75,000 deaths each year and contributing to thousands more. ()
The good news is that type 2 diabetes is largely preventable. About 9 cases in 10 could be avoided by taking several simple steps: keeping weight under control, exercising more, eating a healthy diet, and not smoking.
What Is Type 2 Diabetes?
Our cells depend on a single simple sugar, glucose, for most of their energy needs. That's why the body has intricate mechanisms in place to make sure glucose levels in the bloodstream don't go too low or soar too high.
When you eat, most digestible carbohydrates are converted into glucose and rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream. Any rise in blood sugar signals the pancreas to make and release insulin. This hormone instructs cells to sponge up glucose. Without it, glucose floats around the bloodstream, unable to slip inside the cells that need it.
Diabetes occurs when the body can't make enough insulin or can't properly use the insulin it makes.
One form of diabetes occurs when the immune system attacks and permanently disables the insulin-making cells in the pancreas. This is type 1 diabetes, once called juvenile-onset, or insulin-dependent, diabetes. Roughly 5 to 10 percent of diagnosed diabetes cases are type 1 diabetes. ()
Type 2 Diabetes in Children
Type 2 diabetes used to be called adult-onset diabetes, since it was almost unheard of in children. But with the rising rates of childhood obesity, it has become more common in youth, especially among certain ethnic groups.
In the U.S., the SEARCH for Diabetes in Youth Study found that type 2 diabetes accounted for only 6 percent of new diabetes cases in non-Hispanic white children ages 10 to 19, but anywhere from 22 to 76 percent of new cases in other ethnic groups ().The highest rates were found in Asia-Pacific Islander and Native American youth.
The other form of diabetes tends to creep up on people, taking years to develop into full-blown diabetes. It begins when muscle and other cells stop responding to insulin's open-up-for-glucose signal. The body responds by making more and more insulin, essentially trying to ram blood sugar into cells. Eventually, the insulin-making cells get exhausted and begin to fail. This is type 2 diabetes.
In addition to the millions of adults with diabetes, another 57 million adults have "pre-diabetes." () This early warning sign is characterized by high blood sugar levels on a glucose tolerance test or a fasting glucose test. Whether pre-diabetes expands into full-blown type 2 diabetes is largely up to the individual. Making changes in weight, exercise, and diet can not only prevent pre-diabetes from becoming diabetes, but can also return blood glucose levels to the normal range.
Type 2 Diabetes Can Be Prevented
Although the genes you inherit may influence the development of type 2 diabetes, they take a back seat to behavioral and lifestyle factors. Data from the Nurses' Health Study suggest that 90 percent of type 2 diabetes in women can be attributed to five such factors: excess weight, lack of exercise, a less-than-healthy diet, smoking, and abstaining from alcohol. ()
Among 85,000 married female nurses, 3,300 developed type 2 diabetes over a 16-year period. Women in the low-risk group were 90 percent less likely to have developed diabetes than the rest of the women. Low-risk meant a healthy weight (body mass index less than 25), a healthy diet, 30 minutes or more of exercise daily, no smoking, and having about three alcoholic drinks per week.
Similar factors are at work in men. Data from the Health Professionals Follow-up Study indicate that a "Western" diet, combined with lack of physical activity and excess weight, dramatically increases the risk of type 2 diabetes in men. ()
Information from several clinical trials strongly supports the idea that type 2 diabetes is preventable. The Diabetes Prevention Program examined the effect of weight loss and increased exercise on the development of type 2 diabetes among men and women with high blood sugar readings that hadn't yet crossed the line to diabetes. In the group assigned to weight loss and exercise, there were 58 percent fewer cases of diabetes after almost three years than in the group assigned to usual care. () Even after the program to promote lifestyle changes ended, the benefits persisted: The risk of diabetes was reduced, albeit to a lesser degree, over 10 years. ( ) Similar results were seen in a Finnish study of weight loss, exercise, and dietary change, and in a Chinese study of exercise and dietary change. ( – )
Simple Steps to Lower Your Risk
Making a few lifestyle changes can dramatically lower the chances of developing type 2 diabetes. The same changes can also lower the chances of developing heart disease and some cancers.
Control Your Weight
Excess weight is the single most important cause of type 2 diabetes. Being overweight increases the chances of developing type 2 diabetes seven fold. Being obese makes you 20 to 40 times more likely to develop diabetes than someone with a healthy weight. ()
Losing weight can help if your weight is above the healthy-weight range. Losing 7 to 10 percent of your current weight can cut your chances of developing type 2 diabetes in half.
Get Moving
Inactivity promotes type 2 diabetes. () Every two hours you spend watching TV instead of pursuing something more active increases the chances of developing diabetes by 14 percent. ( ) Working your muscles more often and making them work harder improves their ability to use insulin and absorb glucose. This puts less stress on your insulin-making cells.
Long bouts of hot, sweaty exercise aren't necessary to reap this benefit. Findings from the Nurses' Health Study and Health Professionals Follow-up Study suggest that walking briskly for a half hour every day reduces the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by 30 percent. (, ) More recently, The Black Women's Health Study reported similar diabetes-prevention benefits for brisk walking of more than 5 hours per week. ( )
This amount of exercise has a variety of other benefits as well. And even greater cardiovascular and other advantages can be attained by more, and more intense, exercise.
Tune Up Your Diet
Four dietary changes can have a big impact on the risk of type 2 diabetes.
1. Choose whole grains and whole grain products over highly processed carbohydrates.
There's a growing body of evidence that diets rich in whole grains protect against diabetes, whereas diets rich in refined carbohydrates lead to increased risk. In the Nurses' Health Studies I and II, for example, researchers looked at the whole grain consumption of more than 160,000 women whose health and dietary habits were followed for up to 18 years. Women who averaged two to three servings of whole grains a day were 30 percent less likely to have developed type 2 diabetes than those who rarely ate whole grains. () When the researchers combined these results with those of several other large studies, they found that eating an extra 2 servings of whole grains a day decreased the risk of type 2 diabetes by 21 percent.
Whole grains don't contain a magical nutrient that fights diabetes and improves health. It's the entire package—elements intact and working together—that's important. The bran and fiber in whole grains make it more difficult for digestive enzymes to break down the starches into glucose. This leads to lower, slower increases in blood sugar and insulin, and a lower glycemic index. As a result, they stress the body's insulin-making machinery less, and so may help prevent type 2 diabetes. () Whole grains are also rich in essential vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals that may help reduce the risk of diabetes.
In contrast, white bread, white rice, mashed potatoes, donuts, bagels, and many breakfast cereals have what's called a high glycemic index and glycemic load. That means they cause sustained spikes in blood sugar and insulin levels, which in turn may lead to increased diabetes risk. () In China, for example, where white rice is a staple, the Shanghai Women's Health Study found that women whose diets had the highest glycemic index had a 21 percent higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes, compared to women whose diets had the lowest glycemic index. ( ) Similar findings were reported in the Black Women's Health Study. ( )
2. Skip the sugary drinks.
Like refined grains, sugary beverages have a high glycemic load, and drinking more of this sugary stuff is associated with increased risk of diabetes. In the Nurses' Health Study II, women who drank one or more sugar-sweetened beverages per day had an 83 percent higher risk of type 2 diabetes, compared to women who drank less than one sugar-sweetened beverage per month; drinking one or more servings of fruit punch per day doubled the risk of diabetes. ()
The Black Women's Health Study, which followed 59,000 African American women for 10 years, found a similar link between sugary soft drinks and type II diabetes. () The study also suggests that fruit drinks—such as Kool Aid, fortified fruit drinks, or juices—are not the healthy choice that food advertisements often portray them to be: Women in the study who drank two or more servings of fruit drinks a day had a 31 percent higher risk of type 2 diabetes, compared to women who drank less than one serving a month.
How do sugary drinks lead to this increased risk? Weight gain may explain the link: In both the Nurses' Health Study II and the Black Women's Health Study, women who increased their consumption of sugary drinks gained more weight than women who cut back on sugary drinks. (, ) Several studies show that children and adults who drink soda or other sugar-sweetened beverages are more likely to gain weight than those who don't, ( , ) and that switching from these to water or unsweetened beverages can reduce weight. ( ) Even so, however, weight gain caused by sugary drinks may not completely explain the increased diabetes risk. There is mounting evidence that sugary drinks contribute to chronic inflammation, high triglycerides, decreased "good" (HDL) cholesterol, and increased insulin resistance, all of which are risk factors for diabetes. ( )
3. Choose good fats instead of bad fats.
The types of fats in your diet can also affect the development of diabetes. Good fats, such as the polyunsaturated fats found in liquid vegetable oils, nuts, and seeds can help ward off type 2 diabetes. () Trans fats do just the opposite. ( , ) These bad fats are found in many margarines, packaged baked goods, fried foods in most fast-food restaurants, and any product that lists "partially hydrogenated vegetable oil" on the label. Eating polyunsaturated fats from fish—also known as "long chain omega 3" or "marine omega 3" fats—does not protect against diabetes, even though there is much evidence that these marine omega 3 fats help prevent heart disease. ( ) If you already have diabetes, eating fish can help protect you against a heart attack or dying from heart disease. ( )
4. Limit red meat and avoid processed meat.
People who regularly eat red meat have roughly a 20 percent greater risk of type 2 diabetes than people who rarely or never eat red meat. () It may be that the high iron content of red meat diminishes insulin's effectiveness or damages the cells that produce insulin. Eating lots of processed meat can also increase your diabetes risk. ( ) Red and processed meats are a hallmark of the unhealthful "Western" dietary pattern, which seems to trigger diabetes in people who are already at genetic risk. ( ) So skip the steak, bologna, and ham. Nuts, seeds, beans, tofu, or poultry are much more healthful protein choices.
If You Smoke, Try to Quit
Add type 2 diabetes to the long list of health problems linked with smoking. Smokers are roughly 50 percent more likely to develop diabetes than nonsmokers, and heavy smokers have an even higher risk. ()
Alcohol Now and Then May Help
A growing body of evidence links moderate alcohol consumption with reduced risk of heart disease. The same may be true for type 2 diabetes. Moderate amounts of alcohol—up to a drink a day for women, up to two drinks a day for men—increases the efficiency of insulin at getting glucose inside cells. And some studies indicate that moderate alcohol consumption decreases the risk of type 2 diabetes. (, – ) If you already drink alcohol, the key is to keep your consumption in the moderate range, as higher amounts of alcohol could increase diabetes risk. ( ) If you don't drink alcohol, there's no need to start—you can get the same benefits by losing weight, exercising more, and changing your eating patterns.

Two years after the collapse of Lehman Brothers, 51 percent of executives who responded to our most recent survey say the world economy is in recovery; 58 percent say so about their own countries.1 1.
The online survey was in the field from September 8 to 13, 2010, and received responses from 2,056 executives representing the full range of regions, industries, tenures, and functional specialties.
Most expect corporate profits to rise this year from their level in 2009, and 38 percent expect to hire by the end of the year—the greatest share expecting to hire in the near term since before the crisis.
Even if companies are coping with the new economy, the results also indicate that executives' confidence is tenuous. For example, more expect economic conditions to improve than not, but fewer say so now than did earlier this year. Notably, the share of respondents expecting better conditions in six months is lower than it was a year ago: 55 percent now, compared with 61 percent in September 2009. Furthermore, optimism on the current state of the economy compared with six months earlier started to fall in June and has taken a sharp dive in the past month. Compared with August, 10 percentage points fewer say the economy is better now. The slide is particularly notable in North America, where the share of respondents who say conditions are better has fallen 16 percentage points.
Among the lasting changes that executives say the downturn has produced in their organization are greater attention to changes in markets, improved risk management, and much stronger consciousness of costs. More than half of respondents have changed the criteria they use to make capital-investment decisions, most by applying more rigorous due diligence. Notably, though, most respondents don't expect permanent changes in their companies' workforce size or geographic location.
Executives' economic hopes rose consistently from the depth of the crisis in January 2009 through December of that year but began to falter in February 2010; now, just over half expect better conditions six months from now (Exhibit 1). From January of last year until this June, the share of survey respondents who said that current conditions were better than they were six months earlier continued to grow; that figure remained stable in August but has now fallen (Exhibit 2).
The biggest decline in the share saying current conditions are better is in North America (Exhibit 3), after a smaller drop between June and August. The sharp drops, largely in the United States, came as growth slowed and high levels of unemployment persisted.
Of all respondents, 51 percent say the world economy is in recovery, up from 44 percent in June.
Despite executives' increasing unhappiness with current conditions over the past month, the share of survey respondents expecting economic improvement has remained stable, and 81 percent expect their countries' GDP to improve this year compared with last year. Earlier this year, executives' views on current conditions continued to improve even as their hope faltered. But that has switched; now circumstances are almost reversed. This may simply indicate that executives have grown somewhat used to a more volatile economy.
Executives' expectations for their companies' performance have remained fairly stable; the share expecting demand to increase is identical to that for August, and the share expecting increased profit is nearly the same. Further, that 70 percent expect higher profits now (Exhibit 4), compared with 42 percent a year ago, suggests that companies are learning to manage successfully in an uncertain economy.
One crucial element of adaptation for companies, it seems, is how they assess risk. Since September 2008, 57 percent of respondents say their companies have changed the criteria by which they make capital-investment decisions, and nearly 70 percent of those say the change has been more rigorous due diligence. Furthermore, although two-thirds of respondents say their companies are not postponing or failing to pursue capital invest-ments or M&A that they would normally consider to be good growth investments, among those that aren't investing, 59 percent say the reason is that they've adopted a more conservative risk profile. Similarly, when asked about the downturn's lasting effects, many respondents refer to risk management, cost management, or conservation of cash.
Another finding that suggests companies are coping, if cautiously, is that 38 percent expect to increase the size of their workforce by the end of this year. This is the highest share expecting to hire since before the crisis. Respondents across all regions expect hiring to be up; those in high tech, telecommunications, and manufacturing are the likeliest to say their companies will hire (Exhibit 5). In addition, respondents at small and large companies are equally likely to say their companies will hire,2 2.
Small companies are defined as those with less than $1 billion in annual revenues; large companies are those with revenues of $1 billion or more.
though 23 percent of those at large companies expect continued decreases in workforce size.
What's holding companies back from hiring? Respondents at those companies cite uncertainty about the level of customer demand more often than any other reason, with 42 percent choosing it.3 3.
More respondents also choose low consumer demand than anything else as the biggest barrier to economic growth: 39 percent select it, which is consistent with earlier surveys.
Also, 35 percent say they've streamlined operations to cut positions. That choice is consistent with another finding: 39 percent of respondents say their companies' response to the economic downturn was a permanent reduction in workforce size, and 32 percent say they've permanently reconfigured the geographic location of their workforces.
Finally, the results show that respondents can imagine circumstances in which their companies would significantly boost hiring or make a significant capital investment within the next year. In both cases, the most frequently chosen scenario is an unexpected opportunity to expand in a new market: 59 percent of respondents say this would prompt their companies to hire, and 49 percent say it would prompt capital investment.
Governments around the world are running up huge national debts in response to the crisis, causing concern about expenditures; one result has been significant reductions in public-sector workforces. Our surveys have reflected that over the past year, though this survey's results indicate some degree of stability: most public-sector respondents—60 percent—expect their department to remain the same size, up from half of them a year ago. Only 11 percent expect further decreases.
Nonetheless, public-sector executives responding to this survey overwhelmingly indicate that they have felt pressed to improve their personal productivity: 45 percent say they've felt significant pressure, and a further 35 percent report some pressure. They also indicate that their departments have taken certain helpful managerial steps, including managing performance more effectively (chosen by 44 percent), reorganizing people or structures (41 percent), and streamlining processes (40 percent). Only 10 percent say their departments have sought to increase productivity with outsourcing or utilizing public–private partnerships.
One respondent to this survey describes the downturn's lasting effect on his company as providing "clarity . . . that even with an excellent business model, prudence is best." That sums up many other executives' comments and, indeed, many of the answers to this survey. After two years, it appears that at many companies, ongoing economic uncertainty is being balanced with more rigorous planning and execution of everything from daily operations to M&A. Many companies are smaller, and, at many, morale is damaged. Nonetheless, survey respondents seem to see better times—or at least stronger financial results—ahead.
December 2015—This continually updated interactive tracks how executives around the world have viewed economic conditions and the economic prospects of their companies, and how those views have differed over time and across industries, regions, and types of company.more
August 2010—Most executives think reform of the US financial-services industry was a necessary step toward stability. Meanwhile, their views on the economy as a whole haven't changed much since June, though optimism has slipped in the United States and risen in Europe.more
September 2009—A year after the global economic system nearly collapsed, many companies are finally finding ways to increase profits under the new conditions. But almost as many expect profits to continue falling, and executives also indicate that their broader financial hopes remain fragile. Many expect more government involvement in economies and industries over the long term.more

COMESA strategy so far has been to emphasis the integration of the economic space through removal of trade and investment barriers. Although COMESA has made good progress using this approach, and will continue to pursue it, the focus in the next decade and beyond will shift towards development integration. This will mean giving increased prominence to the supply side of integration, namely investment in the productive sectors. This shift in emphasis recognises developments both at the global and regional level. Globalisation in general and trade liberalisation under WTO in particular is pushing countries to remove trade barriers and open up their markets. Regionally, COMESA trade and investment promotion programmes have improved the investment environment making it more attractive for investment in the productive sectors.
The attainment of full integration and the implementation of complete COMESA mandate under the Treaty is viewed as a long term objective. In the short to medium term the emphasis in programme focus will be trade development and investment, specifically, the elimination of impediments to trade and investment.
In COMESA's strategy of trade, investment and development integration, the private sector will play a central role. The Secretariat will work together with governments in COMESA to create the space and environment where the private sector can play its rightful role as the main driver of the economic integration process.

Sweet treats and some sweet news!
Life is pretty hectic these days in my home, but I'm not complaining, I love every minute of it. Here's a little peek into a typical day in my world.
My sweet little one year old is at the stage where she wants wants "mama" all day long, especially whenever I'm in the kitchen about to cook, this is usually what I see when I look down...
When my teen isn't busy with homework and college hunting, you can usually find her baking something sweet in my kitchen for her friends or for Skinnytaste (but never without her iPod and cell phone!)
|Karina whipping up a batch of Black and White Chocolate Chip Clouds
Lately finding time to cook, photograph and post recipes has been my biggest challenge. I have so many ideas and recipes in my head, just not enough hours in the day to make them. You are all such wonderful followers, you've been spreading the word about my site on Facebook, Twitter, meetings, community boards, voting for me in blog contests, and I really can't thank you enough so I'm sure you will like what I'm about to tell you...
Sweet News and a Sweet Recipe!
I've decided to leave my day job to spend more time with my family, children and yes, Skinnytaste. It's a sweet new chapter in my book of life and I'm very excited about what's to come. I've always loved my career in photo retouching, I've had the pleasure to work with some fierce talent and it's sad to see that behind me, but I feel good things ahead and hopefully I'll have more time to cook.
And now for these sweet treats...
Black and white chocolate chip meringue cookies are the perfect fix to cure your sweet tooth. They are light and airy and melt in your mouth and somehow get better with time. I like to make them the night before and store them in an air tight container, the next day they are nice and chewy and even chewier the day after. Low fat, gluten-free and delicious! Make sure your bowls and spatulas are squeaky clean, your egg whites are room temperature and you use a metal bowl to guarantee success.

A: Wow, you have flung the door wide open for Yankee-bashing by asking what drives Southerners crazy, but that is not the root problem here. First, I'd examine how these Southerners could perceive you. Perhaps there's something in your manner that is off-putting. Ask a close friend for a candid appraisal. It may have nothing to do with cultural differences, so don't limit your thinking to that arena. That said, I'd also join organizations where you'd find like-minded folks keen on deeper discussions. Keeping good company is important, and I am no fan of extended small talk either. I'd advise you to widen your circle and seek those who have similar interests and concerns. Otherwise you'll be stuck in a maddening cacophony of chatter. One caveat: Southerners will always talk about food. It's such a huge part of our culture. Why not embrace it and try out some recipes for collards, chow chow, or fried cornbread? This could be a delectable educational and social experiment. And who knows: it might even impress some of those Southern friends who've heretofore kept you at a distance.
Q: Can Justin Bieber be saved, or is he in a downward spiral? Is he the role model we truly want for our children?
A: We do not discuss Justin Bieber in this column. But I'd reckon that anyone hollower than a chocolate Easter bunny from the Dollar Tree is probably not the best role model. Next question.
Q: What is a good way to make peace with your past?
A: Without knowing the nature of your situation, I'll have to answer in broad terms.
-Remember that the past is behind you. As any driver knows, you won't get far if you keep looking in the rear-view mirror. In the words of the Staple Singers, "Take the sheet off your face, boy/it's a brand new day."
-Your past does not define you or determine your future. It's not what has happened to you; it's what you do with what has happened to you. It's not what you've done to others; it's how you treat folks from this point forward.
-Honor old mistakes and hurts by greeting each day as the renewed person who has learned from those things. Your current thoughts, beliefs, and actions should demonstrate that you are much wiser now.
-Forgive everybody (including yourself) for everything. No exceptions.
-Accept that life is messy, confusing and contradictory. Keep moving anyway.
-A spiritual grounding always helps in matters such as these. Pray and meditate and ask for guidance. Make time each day to quiet your mind.
-Acknowledge the beauty in what you've gained from that dim past. "In life as in the dance, grace glides on blistered feet," said Alice Abrams.
-Finally, recognize that you deserve a happy, fulfilling life. Even if you're not persuaded yet, pretend and act like you believe it. Then watch what comes your way. But be warned. It will resemble the atomic bomb testing in the Nevada desert: flashes of light, brighter than the sun, will begin nudging out the darkness.

In Kenya, the powers of government are traditionally divided into three main organs
i.e the Executive, the Legislature and the Judiciary. The separation of powers here
makes the judiciary more independent however, the legislature, which makes the laws,
contains members of the executive (President and the Cabinet Ministers) who are
responsible for carrying out the laws. This is not unusual since the Ministers who
are elected members of parliament, are responsible both individually and collectively
to the legislature for the administration of their Ministries.
In Kenya, Legislative power is vested in the unicameral National Assembly with 224
members (210 elected by universal adult suffrage, 12 nominated, the Attorney-General,
and the House Speaker as ex-officio members). They serve a term of 5 years, subject
to dissolution of parliament.
The maximum term of the National Assembly is five years but can be extended. The
President can dissolve it at any time. The National Assembly may also force its
own dissolution by a vote 2/3 majority vote.
Currently, the ruling party is the National Rainbow Coalition (NARC) which won the
2002 General elections. The Party that has ruled Kenya since independence in 1963
is KANU.
Kenya has a multi-party political system with over 40 registered political parties.
Kenya became a one party state in 1982 through an amendment of the constitution.
However, in 1992 Section 2A of the constitution was repealed to pave way for the
re-introduction of multi-party politics in the country.
The Judiciary is one of the three arms of government established under Chapter IV
of the Constitution. The role of the judiciary is to interpret and apply the law
and the Constitution, and to provide impartial adjudication of disputes. It is headed
by the Chief Justice and comprises of judges of the Court of Appeal, High Court
(puisne) judges, magistrates and kadhis. The Court of Appeal, which is preceded
by the High Court, is the highest court on the land. It adjudicates appeals from
the High Court. Its decisions are binding on the High Court and all other subordinate
The East African Order in Council of 1897 and the Crown Regulations made there under,
marked the beginning of a legal system in Kenya, establishing a tripartite court
system, namely, native courts, Muslim courts and those staffed by Administrative
Officers and Magistrates.
Administration of Justice concerning non-Africans was entrusted to expatriate judges
and magistrates. The head of the system was the Chief Justice while the administrative
duties were carried out by the Registrar of the Supreme Court (now the High Court).
Appeals lay from Subordinate Courts to the Supreme Court. Muslim Courts were headed
by a Chief Kadhi and were classified as subordinate Courts.
The main Courts were established in Nairobi, Mombasa and Kisumu. Other centers were
served by judges and magistrates on circuit.
The segregated legal system came to an end in 963 when the independence constitution
enacted the beginning of an independent and impartial judiciary.
The independence constitution established a Supreme Court with unlimited original
criminal and civil jurisdiction over all persons, regardless of racial or ethnic
considerations. When Kenya attained the status of a republic in 1964, the Supreme
Court was renamed the High Court and remains so to date.
Judges to the judiciary were to be appointed by an independent Judicial Service
Commission. The constitution further provided for the establishment of a Court of
Appeal and the Kadhi's Court.
In 1967, the Judicature Act (Chapter 8), the Magistrates Courts Act (Chapter 10),
and the Kadhi's Court Act (Chapter 11) were enacted to streamline the administration
of justice in Kenya.
The High Court is created under S.60 of the Constitution of Kenya, with unlimited
original jurisdiction in civil and criminal matters. It is the highest court of
original jurisdiction in Kenya.
It is also endowed with appellate jurisdiction. Appeals from various administrative
bodies and subordinate courts are heard and determined by the High Court.
The High Court is the final arbiter in matters concerning the interpretation of
the Constitution by virtue of S.67 (1) of the Constitution. The High Court is further
empowered by S.44 of the Constitution to hear and determine election petitions.
It is also vested with admiralty jurisdiction in all matters arising on the high
seas or in territorial waters, or upon any lake or navigable inland waters in Kenya.
The hierarchical structure of Magistrates Courts is as follows:
The Executive power is held by the President who is elected by direct popular vote
for 5 years. The President is usually assisted by an appointed Vice-President and
a Cabinet. The winning candidate at Presidential elections must receive no less
that 25% of the votes in at least five of Kenya's eight Provinces.

RUN - NeutralSo much technology, so little shoe. We've redesigned the look of our most popular shoe, but kept the fit, feel and ride consistent with its predecessor. The upper now features FlexFilm, a strong yet pliable material innovation that adapts to your foot and provides a lightweight, seamless feel. Inside the shoe, anatomically-contoured memory foam heel pods secure a perfect fit. In the midsole, ProGrid technology provides a unique blend of responsiveness and cushion, and the heel crashpad has been beveled for an even smoother ride as the runner transitions through the gait cycle. Finally, after examining wear patterns on hundreds of test shoes, the outsole was upgraded through the addition of placements of carbon rubber for enhanced durability.Weight: 6.7 oz.

Sunday night's thunderstorm knocked out power for an estimated 2400 Baker County customers and left a number of north Macclenny residents looking for new places to live.
About 8:30-9 pm a large uprooted tree fell into the roof of a two-unit duplex at 675 W. Ohio Ave., puncturing sizable holes that made way for the nearly 3-inches of rainfall that accompanied the storm the evening of October 7.
The next morning, the 2130-square-foot duplex's occupants were busy moving out as a work crew dismantled the tree outside.
"It shook the house," recalled Connie Walker, an 8-year tenant of the property owned by Donnie and Barbara Gaines.
Next, Ms. Walker said, water began coming through the air conditioning vents. Then, the bedroom ceiling collapsed on her mattress.
Ms. Walker, who works for the Florida Department of Transportation in St. Augustine, said she was able to remove most of her property, besides the bed, before it was damaged. Her two pet dachshunds went unharmed as well.

Van E350 1973-2007 Ford 2WD - Active Suspension - Roadmaster MK3-XXF
Traditionally, automotive suspension has been a compromise among three conflicting criteria: road handling, load carrying and passenger comfort. The suspension system must support the vehicle, provide directional control during handling maneuvers, and provide effective insulation for passengers and payload from disturbances.
Ride comfort requires a soft suspension, whereas load carrying requires a stiff suspension. However, good handling combined with an acceptable ride requires a setting somewhere between the two. Because of these conflicting demands, the rear leaf spring suspension design fitted to pickup trucks, vans and sport utility vehicles has had to be something of a compromise due to the type of vehicle use. Leaf springs are a passive suspension system that have the ability to store energy via the spring and dissipate it by a damper. Its parameters however, are generally fixed and limited.
Roadmaster Active Suspension (RAS) overcomes the limitations of passive suspension by introducing mechanically active suspension to the rear leaf springs thereby conquering the traditional three-way load vs handling vs comfort conflict. Once fitted, RAS has the ability to store, dissipate and introduce energy to the system. Being mechanical its action is immediate, unlike hydraulics or air which take time to react. This immediate action is also variable, working in exact counter proportion to force applied, hence the term active.
Roadmaster Active Suspension kits consist of a set of two very powerful, variable rated, coil springs designed to support and assist rear leaf springs with up to a one ton carrying capacity.
Once installed, loaded tension from the eye-to-axle mounted coil tension springs hold the leaf springs in their original designed bowed position. When strain from load or vehicle weight shift is applied to the leaf springs, the stabilizers come into action immediately, absorbing the force of the load. Being variable rated, the greater the strain, the more counter-assistance force from the RAS unit.

Building two Aston Martins for my 1959 F.1 series, I decided that given the fact that Aston Martin themselves never really had a set colour for their cars I opted to match the paint colour to my diecast model of the 1959 Le Mans winner.
I am fortunate in that an in-law runs a car body shop and allows me to go through paint slips to match colours. The nearest match I could get to my Le Mans Aston was actually a Daewoo colour. So off I trotted with the reference, to my local Halfords to get it mixed.
The paint seemed to be coming out rather dark compared to the diecast model so I took paint, model, slot car shell and paint slip back to Halfords. The 'paint expert' took one look at it and said "It's the right colour - you just haven't got enough paint on it and it needs lacquering. Warm the can and make sure the bodyshell is not cold as you spray it." Well, I did all that, exactly as he suggested and needless to say the colour got darker and darker.
I gave up on that and went back to the body shop to choose another match. This time I found an Opel/Vauxhall colour. Back to Halfords and home. As the guy was mixing the paint he muttered words along the lines of "This doesn't look exactly like your model." He wasn't wrong.
I insert this image without much comment:

Ivan Berryman
Latest info : At the beginning of 2010, Ivan is working on the partner painting to the fantastic large World War One aviation combat painting which was painted in 2009. The World War Two partner painting will be the same massive size of 78 inches by 36 inches. The scene will show the battle above Convoy CW8 in the English Channel on 25th July 1940. Ivan chose this scene because it features several aircraft types and some quite well-known fighter pilots. In the picture are Spitfires, Hurricanes, Bf.109s and Stukas. The Stukas were bombing the convoy and British aircraft of 64 Sqn, 54 Sqn and 111 Sqn were scrambled to defend the ships, but were outnumbered by five to one. Because of the view, Dover itself is not visible in the scene, but the action is taking place above a sunlit sea where the convoy is clearly visible under attack. Over the next few months progress photos of this fantatstic painting will be shown.
Over the last 30 years, Ivan Berryman has become a leading aviation, motor racing and naval artist. In this time, the subjects of his paintings have been wide and varied as he has deliberately strived to include some of the lesser know aircraft, ships and events in his portfolio, which includes aircraft like the Defiant, TSR2, Beaufort, ships including MTBs and corvettes, and around 100 different aircraft of the first world war. In addition to this he has taken new approaches to the classic subjects of his field, including the Dambuster Lancasters, Battle of Britain Spitfires, Bf109s and Hurricanes, HMS Hood, Bismarck and the best known naval ships, as well as some iconic sporting moments. In his own words : Art and aviation have been like a brother and sister to me. We have grown up together, learned together and made our adult lives together. But you do not have to have an appreciation of aircraft to admire the graceful lines of a Spitfire or the functional simplicity of a Focke-Wulf 190. They are themselves a work of art and they cry out to be painted - not as machines of war and destruction, but as objects of beauty, born of necessity and function, yet given a life and iconic classicism beyond their original calling. My interest and love of art and aircraft was gifted to me by my father, a designer and aeronautical engineer of considerable repute. Denis Berryman C.Eng. FRAeS. He gave me his eyes, his passion, his dedication and his unwavering professionalism. I owe him everything. And I miss him terribly. A love of art and of beautiful and interesting things takes you on a journey. You discover new interests, new fascinations, and you want to paint them. You want to paint them in their environment, in their element. Whether it is an aeroplane, a warship, a racing car or a beautiful woman, their gift to an artist is the same: Their lines, their texture and the way that light and shadows give them form. These are the food and oxygen of an artist. Not the paint and the canvas. These are mere tools. The secret is in the passion and the perception...
