Online shopping is the process through which consumers buy goods and services over the Internet. It might seem easy to set up an online shop and trade but what are some of the legal requirements? One must remember that an online shop is a trade like any other. Online traders should therefore pursue registration of their businesses whether as sole proprietorship, partnerships, or companies.

This is important if the online shop wishes to enter into contracts with third parties. In Kenya, online trade is primarily governed by Kenya communication laws in as far as the use of   Internet is concerned.

During the convalescence of a patient every effort should be made to see that meals are tempting and as varied as the nature of the illness allows. Food should be served in small quantities, very nourishing and easily digestible. The following are recipes for dishes suitable for invalids: Sour milk junket When milk has 'turned' but has not yet become thick, pour it into custard glasses. When it becomes solid, sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon and serve as junket. To hasten the process of souring, a little buttermilk may be added to fresh milk. This dish is much used in Africa and is most excellent for children and invalids, as the lactic acid developed in the milk makes it more easily digested than fresh milk. Note: Buttermilk is the milk which remains after the butter has been separated from the cream by churning.

Knowledge is power, and agriculture is no exception. Mobile phones and the Internet are strengthening the bargaining power of smallholder farmers, whose biggest headache is often how to sell their produce for a decent price.

For example: In Kenya , A farmer can subscribe to SMS alerts on daily prices of a given commodity. Even better, he can find out who is looking for products like his, and make the deal before he leaves his farm. Kenya Agricultural Commodities Exchange uses Safaricom SMS platform to link farmers to buyers, they also organ...

Making hay while the sun shines  is an old English saying. Basically it means using good times to provide for the bad times! The same is true for providing enough feeds to your dairy cows during the good times ( the wet season when grass grows well) and during the bad times (the dry/ winter season or droughts). During the growing season grass grows at a fast pace. It is at its greatest nutritive value when all leaves are fully developed and seed or flower heads are almost mature. At this stage the pasture is cut. Hay cut too early will not cure as easily due to its high moisture content. It will also produce a lower yield per acre than longer, more mature grass. But hay cut too late is coarser, loses some of its nutrients and has a lower feed value. There is usually approximately a two-week window of time during which hay is at its ideal stage for harvesting. During the drying period, which should take 1 to 2 days under East African conditions, the process can be spaded ...
