Initial crossings around the area were made by ferries from Mombasa to the Mainland.<br />
Macupa trestle bridge, the first construction difficulty was crossing from Mombasa Island at Macupa to the Mainland. A temporary wooden viaduct was built in 90 days, while the main bridge was erected alongside. Later named Salisbury Bridge, it was completed in 1898. Drive-in-Cinema was also located on the other side and so were the famous areas such as Kibarani, Changamwe.

What a week! The curtains have drawn on the IAAF World U18 Championships and it couldn't have been better. Heroic performances, a party atmosphere and the friendliest hosts imaginable – Nairobi 2017 was a genuine epic.<br />
<br />
If there was one great thing about the IAAF World U18 Championships (and there were many) then it was the people. Decked out in their nation's colours, the Kenyan fans came filing through the gates of the Kasarani Stadium each day beaming wide smiles, extending the arms to welcome the athletics world. What made it unforgettable, however, was their support anytime their nation's athletes took to the track, or indeed field. Whether it was a high jumper clearing a bar in warmup, a thrower unleashing a personal best in qualifying or a middle distance athlete storming to victory, they roared their support all week, creating an incredible setting for live sport. An incredible championships with the friendliest of hosts. Farewell, Nairobi. We'll miss you.<br />

The most intriguing stars seem to appear from out of nowhere.<br />
Take Lupita Nyong’o, the Mexican-Kenyan actress who had not even graduated from Yale School of Drama before landing her star-making role as Patsey in “12 Years a Slave,” for which she won an Academy Award for best supporting actress in 2014.<br />
<br />
Ms. Nyong’o, 32, has since appeared in “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” and lent her voice to “The Jungle Book,” which will open in April. She has also acted on stage in an Off Broadway production of “Eclipsed,” about the struggles of a group of women during the Liberian Civil War. (“Eclipsed” will open on Broadway next month.) Ms. Nyong’o quickly became a fashion darling, too, as the first black face of Lancôme. She has appeared on the cover of Vogue twice.<b> </b><br />

<b>City Momentum Index</b><br />
The current cycle of globalisation, urbanisation and technological advancement is leading to a shake-up of the global urban hierarchy and creating sweeping changes to the geography of commercial real estate opportunity.<br />
<br />
In this new era of city competition, success is no longer purely about size or inherited attributes, but revolves around innovation, liveability and a city’s ability to transform and adapt to a constantly changing socio-economic landscape.<br />
<br />
JLL’s City Momentum Index (CMI), now in its third year, tracks the speed of change of a city’s economy and commercial real estate market, identifying those cities which have the most dynamic urban economies and are adapting most rapidly to the imperatives of technological and infrastructural transformation.<br />
<br />
<b>Key Highlights of 2016</b><br />
Nairobi’s (11th) impressive demographic and economic momentum is necessitating the creation of infrastructure and real estate to support the city’s expansion as it registers among the highest levels of office and retail construction and absorption of any city in the CMI. Nairobi is also pushing to become the centre of technology in Africa, with a growing number of tech incubators and venture capital funds opening in the city. The start of construction on Konza Techno City, an innovation hub including space for higher education and technology firms, is laying a solid foundation for the future.<br />

In 2003, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation launched Grand Challenges. It focused on 14 major scientific challenges that, if solved, could lead to key advances in preventing, treating, and curing diseases in the developing world.<br />
<br />
<br />
The Grand Challenge framework encompasses global health, water, energy, environment, food, education, security, and poverty. It focuses on research efforts and engaging the world’s best researchers. Projects are selected based on public, transparent calls for proposals seeking the best ideas. Funders, investigators, and other stakeholders actively collaborate to accelerate progress and integrate advances to ensure that they serve those most in need.<br />

1. TOURNAMENTS ARE BETTER WHEN KENYA IMPRESS<br />
Kenya nearly made their first final since 2013, but their presence in the semi-finals was a joy to behold. Shades of Kenya's march to the final at the 2013 Wellington Sevens, Benjamin Ayimba's side were the only team to beat eventual winners South Africa. They drew with England, beat USA, and were a conversion away from taking their semi-final into extra-time. Always entertainment when they play and I hope tey'll be playing more like this all season.<br />

The tall, slim governor of Kenya’s central bank is a far cry from many of the continent’s top officials. He evinces no interest in amassing personal wealth, and he’s a numerary in the Roman Catholic group Opus Dei. That means he has taken a vow of celibacy and lives with others of his religious rank in a group home, after declining to live in the regal Nairobi residence reserved for the country’s central bank governor.<span style="color: red;"> <a href="http://www.wsj.com/articles/the-opus-dei-central-banker-shaking-up-kenya-1449079373"><span style="color: red;"><b>read more: </b>www.wsj.com</span></a></span>GAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06741307885357827687noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6405462135024798095.post-59390169377551058202015-07-07T12:27:00.000+03:002015-07-07T12:39:25.681+03:00Kenya is building Africa’s biggest wind energy farm to generate a fifth of its power<div style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">

Kenya set in motion the construction of Africa’s biggest wind power farm this week, near Laisamis, 550km north of Kenya’s capital Nairobi.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Known as the Lake Turkana Wind Power Project, the wind farm site covers 40,000 acres (162km2), which will be powered by the ‘Turkana Corridorwind.’ It is a low-level jet stream originating from the Indian Ocean and blows all year round.<br />
<br />
The project will consist of 365 turbines and expected to achieve 68% load capacity factor, which will make it the most efficient wind power farm in the world.<b> <a href="http://qz.com/444936/kenya-is-building-africas-biggest-wind-energy-farm-to-generate-a-fifth-of-its-power/"><span style="color: red;">read more:</span></a></b><a href="http://qz.com/444936/kenya-is-building-africas-biggest-wind-energy-farm-to-generate-a-fifth-of-its-power/"><span style="color: red;"> http://qz.com/444936/kenya-is-building-africas-biggest-wind-energy-farm-to-generate-a-fifth-of-its-power/</span></a>GAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06741307885357827687noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6405462135024798095.post-71821651223286322072015-07-07T12:18:00.000+03:002015-07-07T12:18:42.272+03:00Nikon opens multimillion showroom at Thika Road Mall<a href="http://www.trm.co.ke/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/DSC_4697.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" height="211" id="fancybox-img" src="http://www.trm.co.ke/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/DSC_4697.jpg" width="320" /></a>a Tokyo-based world leader in digital imaging and manufacturer of high-end digital cameras, has opened a multimillion showroom in Kenya.<br /><br />Nikon has invested in a Sh20 million showroom at the Thika Road Mall with their main aim being the need to cater to the needs of the Kenyan photographers and the growing number of photography enthusiasts.
