Cubicles of death - Daily Nation

By NJOKI CHEGE More by this Author The bathroom seems like a safe place, doesn’t it? It is not. Far from it. On the evening of April 17, 2013, Oscar Anthony Mito became yet another victim of a slippery bathroom, which is silently leaving its victims paralysed. Or dead. “My family is one of the reasons I am still alive. Their care and support since that incident has been of great encouragement for me,” he says. Thanks to quack contractors and poor quality or inappropriate ceramic tiles , bathrooms are increasingly turning into cubicles of death. While there are no statistics on bathroom injuries and fatalities in Kenya, doctors say that it is now common for patients to show up in hospital following injuries sustained from bathroom falls. “Bathroom falls are common incidents especially in middle-class  homes,” says Dr Dennis Otwori , a medical practitioner at the National Spinal Injury Hospital .  Home owners, in the name of saving money, do not engage professionals, rather, hire quacks...

FATmat, DYNAmat sound deadening and heat shielding : MG Midget Forum : MG Experience Forums : The MG Experience

"Does this really make the car all that more quiet?" that is a good question, because there isn't much incentive for folks to do a whole lot of trials with it (how many times do you want to remove your interior?), so they usually just cover everything and cross their fingers. Often, it is accompanied with a new interior, so it can be hard to tell which was the source of any actual improvement.

Make lists of your goals and dreams and all the places you’ve always wanted to explore but never have. And start making real plans to cross them off, one by one. Whip yourself up a banging breakfast. One of those smoothie bowls topped with pretty little flowers that looks too pretty to eat. Eggs whatever way you like them best. Or maybe French toast. Whichever one is going to be the most heavenly to eat and get you energised for your day. Blast out the song you can’t get out of your head right now and jump in the shower. Let the water stream over you, washing away your yesterday and ...
