It is truism that Education is the bed-rock of any society. For his passion to be educated, Mr. Maruge, a Kenyan started his primary Education at the old age. The world's oldest person to begin primary school was aged 84. Kimani Ng'ang'a Maruge (Kenya) enrolled into Standard One at Kapkenduiyo Primary School, Eldoret, Kenya, on 12 January 2004. He even wore the school uniform and hoped to reach Standard Eight. On 6 April 2004 it was reported that Ng'ang'a passed his first end-of-term exams with straight A's in English, Kiswahili and math, making him among the top five students in the class. The headmistress, Mrs Jane Obinchu (Kenya) made him a senior headboy as a reward. Ng'ang'a was a Mau Mau Veteran (who fought for independence against British colonialists) had 30 grandchildren - two of which were above him at the same primary school at the time he enrolled. He wanted to take advantage of free education for two reasons: to learn to coun

Today, a lot of writers and aspiring authors are frustrated. Getting to grips with the challenges of the art of writing and publishing drives many crazy. The frustration hit many from different dimensions and at varied intensity. For some, the problem is self doubts; for others, it’s getting someone to help edit their write ups or critique their blogs. And yet others, it’s how to break into the very unfriendly publishing industry which is hostile to new comers. How do I know this? Well, I’ve gone through the frustrations too, and I receive emails from writers almost daily expressing same. If you have any of these concerns, read on.

Know your Target Online Audience Your marketing strategy will never be successful if you do not have a clearly defined audience. Before you spend money on marketing, first figure out your target. There’s no need to pay top dollar to hire a fancy market research firm. If you know your product, you should be able to figure out your audience yourself. For example, who will be most interested in your product? Is it Men or women? What is their age group? What are your customer’s interests? What is their financial situation?

Originally measured as the new record holder in February 2011, Walton’s nails at that time measured a combined 6.019 m (19 ft 1 in). After getting measured again in 2013, Walton’s nails had grown to a combined 7.314 m (23 ft 11 in). The 47 year-old, who is also a talented singer going by the stage name "The Dutchess," hasn't cut her fingernails since 1990. "I never made a conscious decision to grow the nails, but with all my children and the music commitments I guess it was easier to let the nails grow. Then one day I look down and they're like 9 inches long!" Walton insists the nails don't prevent her from living a normal life; she can still braid hair, cook and drive. However, she does confess to struggling when shopping for clothes. "I'll see the cutest shirts, and they'll have these skinny arms and I know th
