@KenyaPower_Care is there an issue with tokens,I bought and am yet to receive 30 mins ago.

[George Mungai @GMunga]

@StanbicKE I recently applied for a personal unsecured loan but was later told it cannot be processed because my employer doesn't have an MOU with the bank.
Could you kindly clarify if this is an official policy? It's not mentioned anywhere on your website or other materials.

[George Mungai @GMunga]

@DrOparanya @SASRA_ke @MetroSaccoKE has refused to refund people who left the sacco four years ago, which success do you talk about?

[George Mungai @GMunga]

How is this even a deal?

On this day in 1848, Lewis Latimer, an inventor and patent draftsman, was born.

Although Thomas Edison is recognized as the inventor of the light bulb, Lewis Latimer played an important role in its development.

In 1881, he patented a method for making carbon filaments, allowing light bulbs to burn for hours instead of minutes. He also drafted the drawings that helped Alexander Graham Bell receive a patent for the telephone.

—Lewis Howard Latimer was born in Chelsea, Massachusetts, on September 4, 1848, to parents who had fled slavery. Latimer learned the art of mechanical drawing while working at a patent firm. Over the course of his career as a draftsman, Latimer worked closely with Thomas Edison and Alexander Graham Bell, in addition to designing his own inventions. He died in Flushing, Queens, New York, on December 11, 1928.

Inventor and engineer Lewis Howard Latimer was the youngest of four children born to George and Rebecca Latimer, who had escaped from slavery in Virginia six years before his birth. Captured in Boston and brought to trial as a fugitive, George Latimer was defended by abolitionists Frederick Douglass and William Lloyd Garrison. He was eventually able to purchase his freedom, with the help of a local minister, and began raising a family with Rebecca in nearby Chelsea. George disappeared shortly after the Dred Scott decision in 1857, possibly fearing a return to slavery and the South.

After his father's departure, Lewis Latimer worked to help support his mother and family. In 1864, at the age of 16, Latimer lied about his age in order to enlist in the United States Navy during the Civil War. Returning to Boston after an honorable discharge, he accepted a menial position at the Crosby and Gould patent law office. He taught himself mechanical drawing and drafting by observing the work of draftsmen at the firm. Recognizing Latimer's talent and promise, the firm partners promoted him from office boy to draftsman. In addition to assisting others, Latimer designed a number of his own inventions, including an improved railroad car bathroom and an early air conditioning unit.

Latimer's talents were well-matched to the post-Civil War period, which saw a large number of scientific and engineering breakthroughs. Latimer was directly involved with one of these inventions: the telephone. Working with Alexander Graham Bell, Latimer helped draft the patent for Bell's design of the telephone. He was also involved in the field of incandescet lighting, a particularly competitive field, working for Hiram Maxim and Thomas Edison.

Latimer's deep knowledge of both patents and electrical engineering made Latimer an indispensible partner to Edison as he promoted and defended his light bulb design. In 1890, Latimer published a book entitledIncandescent Electric Lighting: A Practical Description of the Edison System. He continued to work as a patent consultant until 1922.

Latimer married Mary Wilson in 1873, and they had two daughters together. The Latimers were active members of the Unitarian Church and Lewis Latimer was consistently involved in Civil War veterans groups, including the Grand Army of the Republic. In addition to his drafting skills, Latimer enjoyed other creative pastimes, including playing the flute and writing poetry and plays. In his spare time, he taught mechanical drawing and English to recent immigrants at the Henry Street Settlement in New York.

Lewis Howard Latimer died on December 11, 1928, in Flushing, Queens, New York. His wife, Mary, predeceased him by four years.

If elections were held today, whom would you vote for?

RETWEET for Morara Kebaso.

LIKE for Dr. William Ruto.

[Morara Kebaso @MoraraKebaso]

I am not going to follow the footsteps of those leaders who used to record the president or put him on loud speaker to prove a point. I don’t think it’s good manners. For that reason i will not focus on proving whether or not it happened. Isaac Mwaura knows it happened. William Ruto knows it happened. End of story. Let’s focus on kutengua mahali ametenga. The call is not of any importance in the fight for good governance and end of corruption. Let’s not divert the conversation. The nation knows who the liar is between me and Dr. William Ruto. RUTHLESS FOCUS. FORWARD WE MARCH

This was the second incident today.

Funny bit is, a plain cloth officer told me to get off the streets or they’d take me off today.
We remain unbowed!!!
Thanks to NMG and their management for allowing me to take cover in their premises.
