A lot of gifts women like are pretty general: makeup, accessories, some fun tech, and jewellery.

Where people get confused is finding what kind of makeup, accessories, fun tech, or jewellery she actually wants.

Bizna (with the help of businessinsider) put together a list of items a modern woman would want.

A membership to a spa.

Even the most put-together ladies need some time to unwind. Get her a Spa membership, and she’ll be able to do so on the regular.

“Look at me, but don’t look at me” sunglasses.

Get your modern lady these cay-eye shape sunglasses in black — they’re a modern interpretation of a classic 1960’s style.

In other words, they’ll look good forever and are more than worth the splurge.

Animal print gloves.

Even the most serious woman will enjoy just-for-fun accessories. Since it’s the cold season, we recommend a fun pair of gloves like these zippered Leopard-print calf hair gloves.

A printed chiffon scarf.

And specifically, we’re looking at the Alexander McQueen neoclassic skull-print scarf.

A fierce lipstick kit.

This lipstick stash should be loaded with six sticks, including Gash, Liar, and F-Bomb, and a classic ozone lip pencil.

BuzzKenya just released a list of the hardest courses to pursue in Kenya.

This why I am sceptical about it.

1. What was the methodology behind it? Apparently, it wasn’t indicated.

2. I happen to be in my final year in Economics and Statistics, it’s not that hard. It’s definitely easier than every engineering course out there.

Check out the original list and see if you agree/disagree with it.

5. Economics And Statistics:

Surprisingly, this is one of the hardest courses to study in Kenya. It consists of huge computations including calculus, financial accounting, economics statistics, mathematics for economics, and other theoretical courses. The most striking thing here is that people are most-likely to underrate economics. It is good you know that taking on this course could be more challenging than anything else.

4. Medicine And Surgery:

As may be expected, medicine and surgery require great study, sacrifice, and absolute effort to get through. In terms of content, it is like learning four different languages all at once. It is a long process that will surely make study take precedence over your social life. Of course that could tell why most doctors make the most out of the little time they have for social activities.

3. Telecommunication and Information Engineering:

This is one of the hardest courses you can study in Kenya. It takes a longer time, and also demands absolute diligence and handwork. In Kenya Telecommunication and Information engineering is ranked one of the most challenging courses only the bright students take on. You have to pass through extremely large number of tough courses. If you hardly read,
going for this course may be unfavourable.

2. Pharmacy:

Just like medicine and surgery, it takes six to eight years pharmacist education program to become a pharmacist in Kenya. You have to deal with pharmaceutical science in the first four years and clinical afterwards. Pharmacy requires huge dedication and hundred percent effort. It is hard knowing you can’t just skip lectures for any reason. You must study assiduously or be embarrassed in exams.

1. Aeronautical engineering:

Succeeding in achieving the minimum entry requirements will not guarantee you an offer of a place to study aeronautical engineering in Kenya. Aeronautical Engineering comprises the representation, creation, maintenance and discarding of aircraft, aeronautical products, equipment, systems and associated services used in the aviation
industry.

Did you know that if you buy a stock at a high price, then the share price dips and appears hesitant to recover, you can actually mitigate your loss and exit with a profit?

We sample the case of Home Afrika over the past 12 months to illustrate how.

On 15 July, 2013, Home Afrika listed at the NSE’s growth enterprise segment. Almost immediately, the price shot from Sh12 to Sh25. With 405 million shares, the firm received a Sh10.1 billion in valuation. This was a Sh5.3 billion jump in market valuation.

As the stock tried to establish equilibrium price, Home Afrika announced that it would be going for a REITS issue, sparking a sharp drop in price. Between 15 July and 1 October, 2013, the price fell to Sh6 from Sh25 before hitting Sh9.05. Between 14 October, 2013 and 2 January, 2014, the price fell to Sh5.40.

An investor who pumped Sh100,000 into the stock at Sh25 a piece was now staring at a loss of Sh78,400 while an investment of Sh500,000 was bringing in a loss of Sh392,000.

According to Mr Daniel Waweru, head of risk compliance at Dyer and Blair, investors who have lost money after buying stocks like Home Afrika on a high only for the price to nosedive can recover and make profit through a process known as averaging down.

It involves buying more shares of the same stock at a lower price than the average price of the stock held.

“However, this is for brave investors who don’t believe in losing money at the bourse,” he says.

For example, if you bought 100,000 Home Afrika shares at Sh10 per share, your investment is currently at Sh530,000 at a price of Sh5.30 per share. You have lost Sh470,000. To recover and make profit, you will need to buy more shares at the current price to bring down the average price of your stock. Assume you buy one million shares at Sh5.30, you will take your average price to Sh5.85.

“If the price then climbs to Sh6.50, you can then exit with a net profit of Sh867,850 from a loss of Sh470,000,” says Mr Waweru.

According Mr Muammar Ismaily, head of research at Genghis Capital, the Home Afrika stock has been going through a price discovery. “It was not wise for investors to enter the stock at Sh25 when it was yet to find its equilibrium price.

“An investor may opt to hold on to this stock and wait for the ongoing projects like Migaa and Lakeview to start bringing in money. This may bring back the stock price to Sh12. But the stock may not attain its highest price of Sh25 in the near future,” says Muammar.

December is almost here and you know what that means, the holiday season is upon us.

It’s hard to buy gifts for a gentleman. They have to be tasteful, useful, thoughtful, and aesthetically pleasing. A gentleman, after all, has standards.

Bizan(with the help of Business Insider) put together a list of creative items that might be the very thing a gentleman wants.

An assortment of curetted ties.

Ties are essential elements of every polished gentleman’s look. But it may be hard to decide which ones to get.

A good business card case.

Get yourself a solid business card case. So when you’re exchanging business cards during the holiday party season, you can whip them out in style.

A high-quality shaving kit.

That comes with a Glycolic facial cleanser, shave cream, pre-shave oil, and after shave balm.

The perfect headphones for an athlete.

A modern gentleman needs to work out. And when he works out, he needs tunes.

Toiletries for the road.

When a gentleman is on the road, he needs convenient, portable toiletries – like these Gillette razor blades.

Stuff his stocking with a few stainless, double edged blades. They’re awesome and they’ll take up no room in his toiletry bag.

An on-trend watch with brown leather straps.

This watch will look great, even when it’s no longer “trendy” per se.

Do yourself a favour, and get one.

Close your eyes and imagine an incredibly productive day.

Maybe you’d get up early to go for a run or arrive to the office on time. Maybe you’d spend your day on important, high-priority to-dos, rather than drown in your inbox again.

Or, maybe you’re having a hard time even picturing what this kind of day might look like.

If that’s the case, take a quick break to check out this infographic, which walks you through an utterly productive 24 hours.

While most of us won’t be able to follow this plan exactly, you’ll definitely find some tips and tricks that you can implement into your schedule to help you become the most productive version of yourself.

If you are like me-and I know we are quite a number- , coming up with the perfect name for your dream business or a product that’s about to be launched is a daunting task.

Let’s face it, names do matter.

What if Java was originally named “Njunguna’s coffee shop”, I highly doubt it would have the same luster attached to the brand name as it does today.

That’s where a random name generator comes in handy; And Google gives you loads of them.

But,Naminum is one that impressed me. The others tend to look pretty ugly and are rather basic in the options available. At the other end of the spectrum, there are some with more advanced options, but they’re still not that usable.

Naminum, however, just asks you to fill in a word or two (or leave it blank if you just want a huge list) to get started.

So, take ‘bubble’ for example. By default it suggests an option with the vowels replaced, one with the consonants replaced, the original backwards and a few other variations.

[Original:TNW]

Below this, it shows the original search term, plus additional letters added. To keep it neat and organized, it shows all the options with one, two, three, four, or more letters added in their own sections. Each suggestion also follows a pattern (except randomized one, obviously), like ending in ‘ie’, or ‘tium’.

If you want to prepend something to your search term, there’s a separate tab of suggestions just for that, making it nice and easy to pick your way through rather than presenting everything in one huge list.
