Kenyans In Diaspora To Be Able To Marry At Embassies

Kenyans nationals in the diaspora will soon be able to marry at Kenyan embassies in their respective countries of residence, President William Ruto said on Wednesday. Ruto said Attorney General Justin Muturi is working on the gazettement of Kenyan embassies worldwide as legally-recognised places of marriage. “The Attorney General has given concurrence that he is going to gazette our embassies as a place you can get married,” he said in Kigali, Rwanda during a meeting with Kenyans living in the country. However, Ruto said the marriages will be within the confines of Kenyan law, meaning same-sex marriages will not be officiated regardless of whether the country of residence legally recognises gay marriages. “The law of Kenya will continue to apply; if you are a man, you can ...

The Coolest Date Of The Decade

The date is February 22, 2022. When you write it, 2/22/22, it's a palindrome, meaning it reads the same forward and backward. It also falls on a Tuesday, which is now referred to as Twosday. It's the most exceptional date in over a decade, according to palindrome enthusiast Aziz Inan. He's a professor of electrical engineering at the University of Portland in Oregon, and he has been studying palindrome dates for over 14 years. It's a ubiquitous palindrome date because it's a palindrome when it's written in the United States format of month, day, year, and the format most other countries follow of day, month, year, Inan said. With as special a date as Tuesday's, it's no surprise people are flocking to their nearest chapel to get married. Many are heading straight to Las Veg...

Blood pressure warning over long-term paracetamol use

People with high blood pressure who take paracetamol on prescription could be increasing their risk of heart attacks and strokes, a study suggests. Doctors should think about the risks and benefits to patients taking it over many months, the University of Edinburgh researchers say. Taking the painkiller for headaches and fevers is safe, they stress. Other experts say research in more people over a longer timeframe is needed to confirm the findings. Paracetamol is widely used around the world as a short-term remedy for aches and pains but also prescribed to manage chronic pain, despite little evidence of its benefit for long-term use. Half a million people - one out of every 10 - in Scotland were prescribed the painkiller in 2018. High blood pressure affects one out o...

Atwoli advice on how to solve fights in marriage.

Cotu secretary general Francis Atwoli says he solves misunderstandings with his third wife Mary Kilobi spiritually. "When Maria asks me questions I cannot answer, I hold the rosary, pray and sleep to avoid arguing with her," he said. Atwoli was speaking at the wedding of a young couple to which he was invited. "We are Catholics, we have a rosary, when we sleep at night and sleep is not coming, I hold the rosary and pray. You can ask Maria, she can send you one," Atwoli advised the couple. "So if you both live in prayers, your marriage will succeed, if you put God first." Atwoli and the TV girl Mary got married back in June 2018.

Crew members aboard the fleet include Chines...
