Health Milestone: Cure for AIDS Discovered!!
 |
| AIDS patient |
The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) has been the hardest
thing to treat because it inserts it’s genome into the hosts DNA making it
difficult to eradicate using conventional treatment approaches. For a long
time, antiretroval therapy has been widely used to stop the virus from
replicating in the body and thus prolonging the patient’s life.
However, this is set to change. The world is much closer to
treating HIV/AIDS. Scientists from Temple University School of Medicine, Philadelphia
made a breakthrough that will potentially save millions of lives across the
globe. In article posted in Medical News Today, the scientist managed to delete
the HIV virus genome from the Human DNA using a DNA snipping enzyme. The approach
was based on bacterial defense mechanism that protects against viral infection.
The enzyme, referred to as gRNA will be able to find HIV-1 viral
genome on human DNA and delete them. The
scientist successfully stranded and tested gRNA’s 20 nucleotides. The
preparation was then tested on cultured human cells infected with HIV-1 and,
guess what? The virus was gone.
The discovery will go through a few more tests before it is
cleared for clinical use. The next step is to find a way of ensuring that the
enzyme is delivered to all human cells that get infected with HIV virus.
Permanent cure for HIV/AIDS is now within reach.

The War that Kenyans Must Fight
We must not visualize a future united Kenya if we don't come to the realization that the typical poor Kenyan, whether Luo, Kikuyu, Luhya or Mijikenda shares 99.9% of the day to day difficulties facing ordinary people.
You who live in a one room shanty in Mathare, Kibera, Kawangware, or even in areas that a bit well off. Don't you have neighbors who represent other ethnic groups in Kenya? Don't they come to ask for some help when things are really bad? And don't you borrow from them when things aren't good on your side? Why then should they take insults for things they just saw in the press, same way as you?
I Know that 99.9% of you have never benefited because a member of your tribe was elected to head this or be part of this and that. Then why do you run to their defense when he or she errs?
You and I know that there is small clout of powerful Kenyans, who share resources among themselves, irrespective of their tribal affiliation. Just as you knock on your poor neighbor's house to borrow something without considering their tribe, so do the rich and powerful Kenyans interact.
If we have to defend our leaders then it must never be for the simple reason that we come from the same ethnic group. If they mean well for all of us and are doing all they can for the good of all Kenyans then what they deserve is praise, rather than condemnation, irrespective of their tribe. If they are doing the opposite then what they deserve is condemnation, irrespective of their tribe.
We must turn this war into a war that aims to achieve fairness for all ordinary people, irrespective of tribal affiliations. Otherwise, hatred begets hatred, and everyone should go to their ancestral lands and build their own country there if the objective of our struggle is to defend our tribe and condemn other tribes.

How to spot a good woman
Apparently, discussions about the things to look for in a woman
as old as marriage itself but with changing times – equal opportunities, feminism
and all – the traditional qualities of good women have largely changed. So how do
you spot a good woman in the 21st century? Here are the 15 basic
things to look for, as advised by Yangki Christine Akiteng – A love Doctor.
- She does not try to change you (accepts you the way you are).
- She enjoys being around you always, not only when you are doing things to please her
- She does all she can to make you happy, often sacrificing her own time and effort
- She is contented with herself, does not always look for attention to boost her self-esteem.
- She will always be there for you, whether things are good or bad.
- She says something and sticks to it. There are no mind games with real good women.
- She knows that for a relationship to work, partners must contribute 50 /50 and she does exactly that.
- She respects you always, whether in public or private.
- She is nice to everyone, whether she has something to gain from them or not.
- She has a genuine desire to get into a relationship with you.
- You both have a liking for similar things.
- She is not embarrassed nor does she show too much pride in the fact that she loves you.
- She takes life positively and is happy with it.
- She makes you feel important, your faults and shortcomings notwithstanding.
- Her smile welcomes you and you can see its deep from her heart.

Did Paul Kobia Kill Fidel Odinga?
News doing rounds in social media circles allege that Paul Kobia, a controversial city businessman who was named in the UN report on the DRC gold smuggling syndicate and who was last September involved in gun drama with bodyguards of the Former Premier Raila Odinga, is behind the death of Fidel Castro Odinga (Raila Odinga's eldest son).
The allegations were made by Robert Alai on his blog kahawa Tungu
Her is the exact post on the blog
Paul Kobia was early this week heard bragging to some patrons and the owner of Buffet Park, Mr Muya that he killed Hon Raila Odinga’s son, Fidel Odinga. In one of the most stupid showmanship, the thug and runaway killer who has connections right inside State House confessed to the patrons that he killed Fidel because he organised his assault.
The confessions were heard by friends of Fidel who have revealed this to security officers. Kobia made the confession on Monday night at Buffet park. The security officers have refused to act because Paul Kobia enjoys State House protection. He moves around in a convoy of cars including police chase cars. Paul Kobia is also always armed with weapons including shotguns and pistols.
It is not clear why Paul Kobia enjoys such kind of state protection. He is known to be a friend of Nairobi Senator Mike Sonko who has constantly refuted this saying that he is not a friend of Kobia.
Friends of Raila are now demanding that Kobia be arrested.
Paul kobia has however been arrested and is assisting police officers with information on the allegations. It will be interesting to see how things turn on this one.
