Hedy Lamarr was a famous Hollywood actress and a brilliant inventor who made significant contributions to the field of wireless communication. She co-invented a technique called frequency hopping, which is the basis of modern technologies such as WiFi, Bluetooth, and GPS.

Frequency hopping is a method of transmitting radio signals by rapidly switching among many frequency channels, using a pseudorandom sequence known to both transmitter and receiver. This makes the communication more secure and resistant to interference, jamming, and detection.

Lamarr came up with the idea of frequency hopping during World War II, when she wanted to help the US Navy develop a radio-guided torpedo that could not be easily jammed by the enemy. She collaborated with composer George Antheil, who suggested using a piano roll to synchronize the frequency changes between the transmitter and the receiver. They patented their invention in 1942, but it was not adopted by the US military until the 1960s, when it was used in naval communication systems. Lamarr and Antheil did not receive any recognition or compensation for their work until 1997, when they were awarded the Electronic Frontier Foundation Pioneer Award. Lamarr also became the first female recipient of the BULBIE™ Gnass Spirit of Achievement Award, which is considered the “Oscars” of inventing.

Lamarr’s scientific contributions were largely overlooked during her lifetime, as she was more known for her beauty and acting career. She died in 2000 at the age of 85. Today, she is widely regarded as one of the most influential women in STEM history, and a role model for aspiring female inventors.

[World Rugby @WorldRugby]

World Rugby is deeply saddened by the passing of Scotland great Scott Hastings.

One of the defining players of his generation, Hastings represented Scotland across 65 test matches and played a pivotal role in the nation’s historic 1990 Grand Slam triumph. A British & Irish Lion and an iconic figure in the game, he was respected throughout world rugby for his leadership, passion and unwavering commitment on the field.

Following his playing career, Hastings remained a valued voice within the sport, continuing to contribute to rugby through broadcasting and advocacy with the same authenticity and love for the game that defined his career.

Our thoughts are with his family, friends, former teammates and the entire Scottish rugby community at this incredibly difficult time.

Rest in peace, Scott Hastings.

Stop blaming the budget.

Kigali runs on half of what Nairobi receives and it is spotless, organized and functional.

The difference is not money.

The difference is not resources.

The difference is not infrastructure.

The difference is us.

We are corrupt.

We are undisciplined.

We litter, we bribe, we steal public funds, we elect thieves and then complain about the results of electing thieves.

Nairobi is not a city that needs more money.

Nairobi needs people who are ashamed of what they have allowed it to become.

Until that day comes no amount of funding will fix what is fundamentally a character problem. 😐

[HON. ALLAN CHESANG,CBS @HonAllanChesang]

As a young Senator in the August House, I firmly oppose the recent court-upheld ban on matatu culture. This directive risks dismantling a vibrant ecosystem that has provided livelihoods to thousands of young Kenyans particularly graffiti artists and creatives whose work has turned our public transport into moving expressions of identity and innovation.

At a time when the government is actively seeking solutions to youth unemployment, such a move is not only ill-timed but counterproductive. Matatu culture is more than an industry,, it is a symbol of Kenya’s creativity and a unique attraction that contributes to our global cultural footprint.

However, as we prepare to engage this matter in Senate, I call upon all players within the matatu sector to uphold discipline, respect traffic regulations, and prioritize safety on our roads. Ownership must not excuse disorder. We can preserve this cultural asset while restoring order and responsibility within our transport system. We must pursue reform, not erasure.

@AIRTEL_KE These statements of follow up and relevant team are just lies, can't it just be done? @CBKKenya @CA_Kenya Still waiting to hear what recourse we have, or are you complicit in this theft?

[Victor Kimathi @vmunene]

@AIRTEL_KE over 1 month to reverse an Airtel Money Transaction? @CBKKenya @CA_Kenya how can this be allowed? What recourse do victims of such theft have? Airtel money needs to be audited and licence revoked for straight up thuggery.

[Victor Kimathi @vmunene]

@AIRTEL_KE Let's begin another week of compelete inaction... @CA_Kenya @CBKKenya we would still need to know what options consumers of this disservice have..

[Victor Kimathi @vmunene]

@AIRTEL_KE Another week has gone by, still no reversal, still the same "it is in progress." @CA_Kenya @CBKKenya what recourse do victims of this impunity have? How does Airtel Money still have a licence?

[Victor Kimathi @vmunene]

@AIRTEL_KE And the days with the stolen money go by, can I get an update? @CBKKenya @CA_Kenya please advise on recourse for victims of mobile money theft.

[Victor Kimathi @vmunene]

@AIRTEL_KE Still no progress on this matter? Incompetence is an understatement.

[Victor Kimathi @vmunene]

@AIRTEL_KE 1 Week later, no progress, no communication, is this the level of service you aspire to? @CBKKenya @CA_Kenya As the regulator, what recourse do customers have?

@AIRTEL_KE Still no action on this? This blatant disregard for customers is staggering.

[Victor Kimathi @vmunene]

@AIRTEL_KE I trust you were able to find the number from the references, but no feedback from your lackluster customer service?!

[Victor Kimathi @vmunene]

@AIRTEL_KE The number is in Reference Numbers 18713327,
18593938,
9905251439777 all referring to the same matter...

[Victor Kimathi @vmunene]

@AIRTEL_KE Sorry but this has been provided, with several follow ups. DMing you my number is clearly just a waste of both our time. You are simply stealing user's money, I am sure many other people have experienced this. @CBKKenya @CA_Kenya should act on you.
