For the last few months,we've witnessed Uber driving traditional taxi drivers out of business thanks to the competitive advantage uber has gained.This has seen kenyan taxi drivers oppose the technology and have asked officials to negotiate with them. Are you one of the taxi drivers ?Would you like to compete with uber?Well,Here is a network for you. Zungucar .
Zungucar is a car pooling and ride sharing application and network that links available vehicles and drivers to passengers.Would this settle the dust?I think it's interesting to witness technologies battle.

Beating A Bad Mood
Here are some ways of purging negative emotions;
When Angry;
*Listen to music that matches your anger or rather music with lyrics that resonates with your current state. This will explore the full gamut of emotion you feel. But here is the catch, it will leave you feeling more active and inspired and this will lower feelings of aggression and residual anger.
When Feeling Down:
*Take a nature walk.
* Spending quality time with a loving pet.
*Eat a banana fruit.A banana is classified a happy fruit.
* Writing :Writing acts as a carthasis
* Hug someone.
When Stressed;
*Listen to music
*Talk yourself through it
*Eat fish :with high levels of omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to reduce the symptoms of stress. Works for me.

Bye To Music Piracy
FINALLY EUGENE DOES IT!!Piracy is every musician’s nightmare.Despite all those interventions the internet has continued to render a big blow to artists major effort.Remember when 'oloo' album flopped 'cause by the time emmy kosgei was launching it there were a thousand unauthorised copies in the hands of the consumers.But thanks to the digital age,music artists proceeds from the online services(music platform) look promising.Now onto the main story.
This young man came up with a tool that could bring the musicians some smile on their faces.This tool is aimed at reducing online
piracy.And here is how it works
1.The artist uploads their music to the online platform and to that effect is assigned a userID
and artisteID.
2.The song is converted into a
format designed by the innovator
3.The format that the song is converted into is pirate -free.
So when someone tries to use the file downloaded from the online platform will never use it for piracy.
Last i checked he was still working on it.It will be ready for use come next year if everything goes well.Mdundo is now the big thing.With artists signing up and submitting their tracks.Kenyan artists are now embracing the digital platform.Mdundo allows the users to download music by means of pre-paid scratch cards which means proceeds from the sale of music goes to the artists and this beats music piracy.Artists can also team up with file hosting websites such as waptrick where they get paid per download.The future is bright for kenyan artists
However,piracy can be a boost to up coming artists as through piracy they get to be known.Also it gives them the exposure they need and eventually the much desired breakthrough.Consumers can get the pirated up &coming artist music at low cost.For example,an up coming artist can submit his track to a file hosting website,later if he's not satisfied with the proceeds,he or she can allow piracy as a strategy to get that breakthrough.He can allow the pirates take over the wheel and the much desired breakthrough will come.But note that this strategy is only tied to up coming artists.It serves as a demerit to the established artist but a merit to the up coming artist.
As years pass by,kenyan artists can sigh with a relief as now the 'cancer' that has been present over the years is dying down.

Is It Safe To Allow Doctor Fish To Exfoliate Your Skin?
IN SUMMARY:
*Biznerati talks about Fish pedicure
*How it feels like getting a treat from doctor fish
*Is it safe?
Imagine getting your leg 'spa'd' by a fish?Sounds weird.I know.Well,its true and it's a practice common in some spas in Kenya.Its not the ordinary type of fish used,it's the Doctor fish . . Welcome to
Fish pedicure therapy.
The Doctor fish is a fish particularly used for treating skin diseases and it's also used in skin softening.Others call it the epidermis-eating fish.All you need to do is insert your legs on the home-made pond containing thousands of the Doctor fish and relax as the Doctor fish do their work.
The first time you insert your legs on the pond you'll get that 'ticklish' Feeling but with time you'll get used to it.Maybe that 'ticklish' feeling you get is a way of them greeting you or welcoming you for the service.(Giggles)After running your legs deep on the pond for approximately 30mins .You remove the legs from the pond and apply some oil to the skin to soften the leg around the skin further and that way you are good to go
IS IT SAFE TO ALLOW DOCTOR FISH EXFOLIATE YOUR SKIN??
Over the years fish pedicure therapy has been banned in several countries after questions arose of the spread of fungal diseases.With people streaming in to use the therapy,questions rose of how secure they were in terms of health if the same doctor fish were being used for different clients.Because if a doctor fish feeds on the dead skin of the first client, then the 2nd client uses the same water in the tank(pond) and the same doctor fish,wouldn't there be a risk of skin disease or fungal infections??
However,beauty clinics offering fish pedicure therapy defended themselves saying they do not use the same water to different clients.
They use filters and are able to change water used and also they check on the client's feet before dunking their feet on the tank(pond)
The fish pedicure therapy service goes for $80 thats approximately sh7000.Next time you are visiting the spa centre ask whether they do fish pedicure therapy.You'll love it .Tweet

Is My Brain Slowly Being Cooked By The Cellphone Radiation As I'm Answering a Call
Walk around the streets on a normal day and you'll never miss to bump into a teenager with earphones,earhooks or even headphone tucked.It's kinda sad how more and more peoples way of life is now built around these accessories.It’s socially acceptable to have a cell phone and be contactable 24/7.Which brings my question,aren't we risking brain tumors and even cancer?
In 2011, the World Health Organization classified the kind of low-energy radiation that cell phones emit as " Possibly Carcinogenic " ." The type of radiation coming out of a cell phone is called non-ionizing. It is not like an X-ray, but more like a very low-powered microwave oven ,"said Dr. Keith Black, a neurosurgeon specializing in the treatment of brain tumors.
Is my brain slowly being cooked by the cellphone radiation as I'm answering a call?
That's my worst fear.I once had plans of purchasing a Bluetooth headset since I felt it would make my life much more easier but after doing a research on dangers associated with Prolonged bluetooth technology exposure , I quickly ditched the plan.One of the things I learnt is that by using the
Bluetooth stereo piece ,one is being exposed both cell phone radiation and Bluetooth radiation being emitted by the Bluetooth headset.You’re better off using a wired headset than a wireless one but then again the wired headset also has a downside.
The wired headset has metal in it.This metal conducts the radiation emanating from your cellphone/smartphone allowing it to travel up the wire ending up in your brain.Answering incoming calls using your wired headset could increase your exposure to cell phone radiation in the long run.
I Was fond of answering calls using my wired headset.I found it cool 'till I started experiencing some ear pain and random dizziness.I had to dump the wired headset and up to date I always activate the loudspeaker mode when answering calls.Risk factors for cancer and tumors caused by radiation sources are directly proportional to exposure levels.I find it weird how the more we embrace the gadgets coming into our hands,the greater the risk factors.

Affordable Bluetooth Headphone
SHARE ON WHATSAPP
I have been searching for a good sounding wireless headphone at an affordable price for long.The other headphones I have tried ended up disappointing me.From headband pressure that caused discomfort to distortion of my favorite songs,i decided to take a break from headphones.Till recently I got that itch back and bought a jua energy Bluetooth headset.
I was impressed at first sight.The headset had an inner rubber-finish headband that kept them glued to my head perfectly.I also loved the leather earmuffs.
The Good
*Sound quality was amazing
*Head band that keeps the headset glued to your head perfectly
*Sound chops
*Strong bass
*No distortion of tracks
The Bad
*The headset has a black Plastic piece that allows you to adjust the length of the
headphones.That means you can't walk with the headset on for long periods of time under the heat of the Sun.They'll break.
VERDICT
RELATED: Listening to music using your headphone for a long time(over 15 minutes without a break)may be a risky affair
Suitable for anyone looking for an affordable Bluetooth headset with a fat bass

De-stigmatizing mental health problems
Most people tend to put on the Denial cap when it comes to mental Health problems. The worst part is that denial keeps those with Mental health problems from getting better.This has led to the making of an app known as Eliza app that will help in dealing with the denial issue.
File source: Elizaspace
The app lets the user record voice memos from anywhere(could be a vent,current state of emotions e.t.c). Using IBM-Watson,the app translates your speech to text and query it to determine your mental state.After which the results are outlined and the user may choose to share the results with his or her doctor.

With ELIZA, you can find out more about your emotional health and see if you at risk for a mental disorder.I find It similar to other Tools that aim to provide insights into a potential disorder
Is ELIZA a diagnostic tool?
Well,I think it's not.My view is that It's a tool that aims to provide Insights into a potential disorder that may have a negative effect on your life.Similar to online disorder tests only that in the case of Eliza ,one is inputting voice memos .

A woman with a caterpillar spirit
Biznerati 5th Edition |
IMAGE//globe-views.com
Every woman should have caterpillar spirit.
•She's confident in her worth just like a caterpillar
A caterpillar knows its worth and is confident it will grow into a beautiful butterfly some day.Every woman should know her worth and never stoop low.
•She protects herself well from the predators.
Some caterpillars have the ability to blend with the environment and this makes them almost invisible.Every woman should learn on how to protect herself from 'predators'(rapists).Ladies should learn karate and taekwondo as these really come in handy when in dangerous situations.
•Some people's rejection won't ruin her resilience.
When you try to kill a caterpillar that was passing by your house by pushing it to the other direction, you've actually rejected it but this wont kill its 'vibe'.Same applies to every woman.
• She stays calm, keeps growing, She knows, inside she's already a butterfly.
That's key.This applies to all genders but mostly women.The butterfly stays calm,keeps growing knowing that one day it will turn out to a sweet colorful butterfly. Every woman should stay calm ,keep growing knowing one day she'll achieve her dreams

Awkward date
I guess I'll tell the whole story. Me and this lass, we'll just call her Bev, have been talking for about two months. We started on Flirchi,traded numbers then we started texting each other a lot.(6 times a day)We decided we should plan a trip to a botanical garden, so we did and a few days ago was our first time meeting. This is how it went:
So I had a few things to do that morning but they all ended up back firing. So since i couldn't do anything I planned I ended up at our meeting place minutes earlier than expected.
We enter a botanical garden and we're having a good time, when suddenly one of her heel breaks off.I take it and fix the nail and bang it back so it's at least walk-able in.Not even 5 minutes later, the clasp on her handbag breaks and all of her contents spill out of her bag. I'm handy, but I'm not able to fix the clasp, so she basically carries it .Whoa!What a start.
So we're laughing about the tough luck she has and something tiny hits her on her expensive weave. There is an elevated garden next to the path we're walking, so we think a kid is throwing tiny pebbles. We run up to catch the kid, but as we're running, I see her weave and realize it's not a pebble but a 'bird crap' on her expensive weave.I don't want to alarm her, so I tell her to stop and come over.
I grab a leaf and wipe the crap off her weave. She then realizes what it was and she is mortified.
I couldn't help but basically laugh in her face. I wasn't laughing at her, but it was so hilarious that I couldn't contain myself. I reassured her that everything's alright and sometimes stuff happens.
She can't take it.She is so vexed.She stands up and hurriedly walks towards the gate on phone calling an uber

Dissipating sleep inertia
Do you ever feel so groggy after you wake up from a nap?I'm a victim of this. naps are tricky because you either wake up refreshed and relaxed or you have a headache, dry throat, and are unaware of what year you’re in
Although daytime naps provide cognitive benefits,some often leave you with Sleep inertia upon waking. It appears as the feeling of grogginess that reduces your ability to perform dexterity. Many including myself tend to dissipate morning sleep inertia by checking emails,reading rants and scanning news."My husband tends to hit the snooze button more than 5 times and this snooze cycle is having a negative effect on me."Pam says."This has contributed to my sleep inertia since I always wake during the REM Phase".
According to an IDC Research report ,79% Of those surveyed admitted to checking their phones within 15 minutes of waking up.This habit makes me feel awake and alert much quicker.My Inertia tends to be worse when I take an afternoon nap.I wake up with this feeling of grogginess.It usually takes around 20 minutes before it dissipates.That's why I've ditched afternoon naps.
A Study in Ireland found that executive mental functions are slower to return to normal after a nap than the ability to do simpler things.That's why you experience a short term memory loss when in that state.

DISSIPATING SLEEP INERTIA
1)Wake up at the correct stage in your sleep cycle.
2)Use a Light Up Alarm
( You set when you want to get up, and the Wake-Up light starts beeping at that time—softly at first, then louder .A simulated sunrise has already started, transitioning from a dim glow to full brightness . By the time the sound kicks in,Your room is all lit up).
3)Meditation
4)Set up an alarm to wake you at the correct stage in your sleep cycle.There are apps that are able to make you know your the stages of your sleep cycle.After knowing the stages,you can now determine the correct stage in your sleep cycle.This will prevent you from waking up in the REM Stage.

Download stuck at 99?

1) The phone system may hang at updating of the progress bar at 99% when a security scan is one requirement that must be performed during the 1% hiatus.During the 1%,if the security scan is performed and a problem is discovered then there will be A FAILED noticed.Maybe the file was nuke.The time period of the security scan may
2) Computer/Smartphone and operating system latency
Let's say ,you were downloading Jumia app from the play store.The Jumia app developer might have dedicated the 1% hiatus to another helper app that updates the system configuration.If at his workstation,the time it took make the 1% hiatus over was 10seconds,then that's the default time it will take your phone to complete 100% but these time may vary with devices.

Performing cognitively demanding tasks while listening to music?
I'm always fond of listening to music while performing tasks. The act of listening to your favorite jam while performing a task can motivate you and even easen the task at hand.But recently I discovered something weird.
When I was reading (with music playing in the background)an eBook I had downloaded from the rcg.org ,I found it harder concentrating that I just closed the book minutes after opening it.This was rather strange. How comes when I was performing less cognitively demanding tasks like cleaning my room while listening to music ,I would get motivated to perform it effectively and efficiently?
Well,In 2010, researchers at the University of Wales Institute
showed that when adults were asked to complete a relatively complex task of recalling a series of sounds presented in a specific order, their performance decreased while listening to music.
The study concluded that your ability to learn something new that is cognitively demanding decreases when you listen to music.
The eBook I had downloaded from the rcg website was cognitively demanding.This needed my mind to be fully concentrated on the new resource.Listening to music would drive away my concentration from the material and this would lead to my inability to read it.
That's why you'll find it easier reading old literature while listening to music since it's not cognitively demanding as compared to new material.

Strange charges on your daily Phone bill?
FILE CREDIT
Ever Noticed strange charges on your daily phone bill?I bet if majority always keep tabs with their daily phone bill progress.Are there tiny but significant charges on it that you are unfamiliar with?
Well, Some malware is programmed to send paid SMS messages that get charged to your phone bill and deposited into the bank account of the malware writer.
After posting about how a researcher discovered a flaw on the android front camera seems flaws keep on flanking the operating system.Just recently,hackers revealed how they could control your smartphone easily just by knowing your cell phone number.
The hackers simply send an alarming text ,case in point,similar to the texts I outlined on "Beware of these texts" post .Once you receive the text,that's when the hack process begins and your phone starts misbehaving.Apps close and open suspiciously and in extreme cases send malicious messages to your contacts.That's when they are under control.
Always remember to;
1)Avoid downloading unofficial apps .They may harm your computer or smartphone
2)Only download apps from a reputable app store, such as Google Play or Amazon Appstore .
3)Skim through app reviews on the app stores. Users will often rate infected app poorly and will
usually warn others through the app reviews and even rant over their experience with the app at hand.
4)Always have strong antivirus protection and keep on updating the antivirus Remember to use the Lookout app to scan for malwares on your smartphone.
And also you can restrict the app permissions if you feel the permissions are way too breaching.For instance,giving an unofficial app the permission to your caller ID may give the app developer who may be a hacker the privilege of knowing your cellphone number and can use it to his or her advantage.

Using a mobile phone before going to bed?
Using a mobile phone before going to bed could stop you from getting a decent night's sleep, A research suggests.
A study That was carried out by Sweden's Karolinska Institute and Wayne State University in the US suggests radiation from the handset can cause insomnia, headaches and confusion. This study is the most comprehensive and was funded by the cell phone industry. Published by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Progress in Electromagnetics Research Symposium and funded by the Mobile Manufacturers Forum, representing the main handset companies, it has caused serious concern among top sleep experts over the "more than sufficient evidence" showing that the radiation "affects deep sleep".
The scientists concluded: "The study indicates that during laboratory exposure to 884 MHz wireless signals components of sleep believed to be important for recovery from daily wear and tear are adversely affected."( Read the whole study)
Could there be some truth?Well,I recall one time I received a 13 minute call before going to bed and I couldn't just explain what happened after.All I know was ,I was having headache.How I got the headache I still don't know.Could there be a link between the 13 minute call and the headache?
Well,if I can refer to the study,then I think I now know the answer. Here is a Thermographicimage of your head after a 15 minute call
