I turned in my resignation on a Thursday.
By Friday afternoon, word had spread through the office.
Most people congratulated me.
A few told me they wished they could do the same. Around 5 PM, just as I was packing up my desk, I got a message from the company owner.
"Before you leave, stop by my office."
My stomach dropped.
I had only spoken to him a handful of times in seven years, I figured this was going to be one of............

This is the alkaline spring water in Meru, locally known as muonyo. It is famous for its natural soda-like taste. Locals traditionally use it to soften cereals and have historically consumed it to relieve heartburn, stomach ulcers, and indigestion, there is no scientific evidence that it acts as a cure for any diseases.
Elon just created 4,400 millionaires in a single day.
400 of them are now worth over $100 million.
These aren't VCs. They're SpaceX employees, and the list includes welders, technicians, and cafeteria staff, because for two decades the company paid every level of the workforce in stock instead of higher salaries.
Juan Hernandez immigrated from Mexico and took a $28 an hour contractor welding job in 2015. He says he didn't even know what SpaceX was. The company gave him a $10,000 equity grant and let him buy more shares through payroll deductions. That stake is now worth $880,000.
Trevor Hise's parents wanted him to take a stable job at General Electric. He picked SpaceX instead, stayed 12 years, and accumulated over 100,000 shares. At the $135 listing price that's $13.5 million. He's 37 and semiretired. His words: "The magnitude of this has been ridiculous."
The most telling detail came before the listing. Over 100 employees quietly banded together and negotiated a group wealth management deal covering up to $5 billion, because none of them had ever needed a wealth manager before.
Software IPOs have minted millionaires for 30 years. This is the first one where the money went to the factory floor.
Even the US, Canada, China, and Australia haven’t achieved this yet.
India is the first and only country in the world to run double-stack container trains with electric locomotives.

🚨🇰🇪 A threat actor known as MrDarkRoot is selling a dataset allegedly containing citizen records from the Republic of Kenya, with a separate folder said to exist for each individual.
The actor claims complete records for 10 million people are exposed, including full names, dates and places of birth, national ID and passport numbers, parents' names, addresses, phone numbers, emails, banking and tax records, property and vehicle records, medical and vaccination history, criminal and judicial records, educational records, and passport-style photos, alongside extensive business registration data.
Claim is unverified.

Nobody hands you a manual when you start working with Arabs.
There’s no onboarding slide that says “here’s how things actually work.”
You’re expected to figure it out. Most expats never do.
After 14 years, here’s what I wish someone told me on day one.
Have you seen this before Ruto came to power?
Well, sit down !
This is the Kenya Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (Kenya-AIST) , Kenya's leading institution of science, technology and research-led development.
It was modeled directly on the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology.
It is the first public, postgraduate-only university located within Konza Technopolis and is fully scholarship-funded.
The institution is structured around seven advanced disciplines: Mechanical Engineering, Nuclear Engineering, Electrical and Electronics Engineering, IT Engineering, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Chemical Engineering and Agricultural Biotechnology.

إذا كنت تفكر تشتري منظومة طاقة شمسية ليثيوم للبيت،
فانتبه...
أغلب الناس تقضي ساعات وهي تقارن الأسعار،
وتفاوض على الخصومات،
وتسأل عن عدد الألواح.
لكن السؤال الأهم الذي نادرا ما يُسأل:
هل البطارية التي ستشتريها
ستخدمك 10 سنوات أم ستبدأ مشاكلها بعد سنتين أو ثلاث؟
الفرق بين منظومة ناجحة
ومنظومة فاشلة غالبا يبدأ من البطارية.
أول نقطة أركز عليها دائما هي نوع الخلايا.
إذا كانت البطارية من نوع LiFePO4 فهذا يعتبر الخيار الأفضل للاستخدام المنزلي.
ليش؟
لأنها أكثر أمانا، وتتحمل درجات الحرارة بشكل أفضل،
وعمرها الافتراضي أطول بكثير مقارنة بأنواع الليثيوم الأخرى.
ثاني نقطة مهمة جدا وهي التوافق مع الإنفرتر.
كثير يشتري بطارية ممتازة ثم يكتشف أن التواصل بينها وبين الإنفرتر فيه مشاكل.
تأكد أن البطارية تدعم بروتوكولات الاتصال مثل CAN أو RS485 وأنها متوافقة مع الإنفرتر الذي عندك.
لأن نظام إدارة البطارية BMS لازم يكون قادر يتواصل مع الإنفرتر بشكل صحيح حتى تتم عملية الشحن والتفريغ بأمان وكفاءة.
ثالث نقطة لا تتجاهلها أبدا.
اسأل عن عدد دورات الشحن والتفريغ.
البطارية الجيدة اليوم تعطي أكثر من 6000 دورة.
هذا يعني سنوات طويلة من العمل قبل أن تبدأ السعة بالانخفاض بشكل ملحوظ.
أما إذا كانت الدورات قليلة فالسعر الرخيص الذي وفرته اليوم قد تدفع أضعافه لاحقا. أيضا انتبه لعمق التفريغ DoD.
البطاريات الممتازة تسمح لك باستخدام 80% إلى 90% من سعتها الحقيقية.
يعني إذا اشتريت بطارية 5 كيلووات ساعة فستستفيد من معظم طاقتها المخزنة فعليا.
ومن الأخطاء الشائعة أن البعض يشتري البطارية قبل أن يحسب احتياجه الحقيقي.
احسب استهلاك البيت أولا.
هل تحتاج 5 كيلووات ساعة؟
10 كيلووات ساعة؟
15 كيلووات ساعة؟
اختيار السعة الصحيحة يوفر عليك المال ويمنعك من الوقوع في مشكلة نقص الطاقة مستقبلا.
ولا تنس التأكد من وجود نظام BMS ذكي داخل البطارية.
هذا هو العقل الذي يحميها من الشحن الزائد والتفريغ العميق وارتفاع الحرارة وعدم توازن الخلايا.
وجود BMS قوي قد يكون الفارق بين بطارية تعيش سنوات طويلة وأخرى تتلف مبكرا. وأخيرا...
إذا وجدت بطارية LiFePO4،
بدورات تتجاوز 6000 دورة،
وعمق تفريغ 80% إلى 90%،
وتدعم CAN أو RS485،
وضمان حقيقي من 5 إلى 10 سنوات...
فأنت غالبا أمام بطارية تستحق أن تضع أموالك فيها.
This house went viral recently. Why?
It's beautifully designed yet, it feels real! It shows the beauty of our villages and regions. It is unique.
This house is a case in point to show that you can achieve world class results with your upcountry home.
On top of it, all the furniture items are proudly made in Uganda by Mama Zaabu and her team @modernliving256.
The house was designed by merging the vision of the client and Mama Zaabu and her team.
Fully Ugandan from the plans to the sofas (and that's amazing if you ask me).
We need to be proud of the talent of this country! UG got talent my friends...
Go and and visit @RuhuukaHome, you won't regret it :)
Granddaughter shares the before-and-after transformation of her 76-year-old grandmother after leaving Nigeria, and the striking change has left many questioning the quality of life in Nigeria.
Wajir residents after madaraka day was over they were recording themselves saying it as it is. When you see kasongo getting emotional just know things are getting out of hand.
