Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg To Introduce A Dislike Button in FACEBOOK

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg recently announced that the company is finally working on a much-desired feature: a “dislike” button. According to Zuckerberg, this feature has long been one of those most-requested by the Facebook audience.

Facebook, pressed for years by users to add a “dislike” button, says it is working on the feature and will be testing it soon.

“We’ve finally heard you,” CEO and founder Mark Zuckerberg told a public town hall meeting in Facebook’s hometown of Menlo Park, California.

Facebook To Release A “Dislike” Button — Mark Zuckerberg Announced Release Of The "Dislike" Button

A question submitted online by a user asked the oft-repeated question of why there were no buttons along the lines of “I’m sorry”, “interesting” or “dislike” in addition to the classic thumbs-up “like” button, through which users show their support for posts from friends, stars and brands on the social network.

“Probably hundreds of people have asked about this, and today is a special day because today is the day where I actually get to say we are working on it and are very close to shipping a test of it,” Zuckerberg said.

“It took us a while to get here, because we do not want to turn Facebook into a forum where people are voting up or down on people’s posts. That does not seem like the kind of community that we want to create.”

He said he understood that it was awkward to click “like” on a post about events such as a death in the family or the current refugee crisis and that there should be a better way for users to “express that they understand and that they relate to you.”

“We have been working on this for a while, actually. “It is surprisingly complicated to make,” Zuckerberg added.

“But we have an idea that we think we are getting ready to test soon, and depending on how that goes, we will roll it out more broadly.”

ENTREPRENEUR WATCH..ONE OF THE SIMPLEST BEST WAYS TO START EARNING WHILE YOUNG.

SIMPLE BUSINESS IDEAS FOR YOUNG ENTREPRENEURS

1. CHIMNEY SWEEP

Learning to be a chimney sweep may mean nothing more than apprenticing with someone already in the business. By becoming a chimney expert, you can combine a chimney sweep business with a chimney inspection service--covering more than just whether or not the chimney needs cleaning but whether the chimney is in good working order or in need of repair.

2. CLEANING SERVICE

There are many directions you can take this business. If you want to work during hours when no one else does, you can focus on office clients. You can focus on retail businesses and keep your customers clumped into one or two blocks. Restaurants are in great need of daily thorough cleaning and can be a great source of steady clients. Perhaps you would be more interested in house cleaning. Many times with cleaning services you don't have to spend lots of money on advertising or marketing because your customers will come by word of mouth.

Meru MCAs claim they were conned Sh5m during State House visit

Members of the Meru County Assembly claim they were swindled Sh5 million handed to them during their Friday meeting with President Uhuru Kenyatta at State House, Nairobi.
An unnamed member of the delegation is said to have pocketed the amount.
A section of the MCAs, who spoke to Nairobi News after the meeting, claimed they were told President Kenyatta gave them Sh5.5 million to share among themselves for fuel and accommodation.
The MCAs were however just given about Sh500,000 to share among themselves, with the unnamed member allegedly pocketing the other Sh5 million.

Although the MCAs refused to be quoted, they said they ended up with between Sh 6,000 and Sh7,000 each for accommodation and transport.
“After the meeting we inquired if we could be refunded the money we had spent. Unfortunately we noted that some MPs had already signed for the same and left.
“We went to witness the signing of a bill into law that will help Meru people and that was exactly what we did. The rest is not very important and could be handled later,” he added.
Meru ICT County Executive Martin Bikuri posted was the first to make the claims that the MCAs had been conned Sh5 million.
“Meru MPs go to State House and leave devolution conference going on tith over 5000 visitors in Meru. They are given Sh5.5m and mwagi thoni (Kimeru for uncouth person) with all his ill-gotten wealth runs away with 5m,” Mr Bikuri claimed.
Igoji West ward representative Kaumbuthu Chabari, who attended the State House meeting, disputed the claims terming them as propaganda from people who were out to tarnish the leaders’ names.

“I was among the last to leave State house yet I never heard about any sh5 million. There are individuals who tried to bring out ‘KIKALI’ outfit versus Governor Peter Munya politics, but we agreed this was not a political meeting. I understand some people had met Mr Raila Odinga the previous night and hatched some propaganda to tarnish names,” Mr Chabari said.
KIKALI is a political outfit that brings together Senator Kiraitu Murungi, woman representative Florence Kajuju and Igembe South MP Mithika Linturi who have expressed interest for the Meru gubernatorial, woman representative and senatorial seats respectively in 2017 polls.
Mr Murungi led MPs and MCAs from the county in the visit to State House on Friday to witness the signing of a bill that recognizes miraa as a cash crop.

HACKERS STEALING MORE MONEY THAN POLITICIANS.....HOW TO AVOID HACKS BY IT PROFFESSIONALS

Burundian Programmer Exposes KCB System Security Flaw As Customer Details Emerge Online

by Eric Mugendi on October 19, 2016 Read in 4 min

KCB Bank, one of Kenya's largest banks by customer numbers, appears to have suffered a massive data breach as a file with the details of more than 500,000 customers, including their names and phone numbers appeared online.
The information was brought to light by Burundian hacker Chris Irakoze, who first mentioned the data breach in September.
Chris explains that the data was collected from an 'information leakage vulnerability', where a flaw in the KCB app gave him access through a Python injection to sensitive data, including the technical details of the Web application, environment, or specific data of the user.

In our case the KCB leaked the numbers and names of their customers. One of the things that a hacker can do would be to sell those phone numbers. There are plenty of people who would pay for personal numbers. A hacker could also sell the information to a competing bank. A scam or phishing attack type which would allow to target customers of KCB. In the best case, you will have spam, and in the worse you will lose your money. I wonder if it hasn’t already started.Chris Irakoze

Chris explains that he was able to do a reverse search comparing all possible phone numbers from 254 700 000 to 254 799 999 with the data obtained through the app's vulnerability. If a number belongs to a KCB customer, the search would reveal the person's name from the database. The whole process took slightly less than two months.
Customer Details

The data includes the names and numbers of KCB customers
These revelations come as KCB customers report unsolicited text messages reportedly coming from the bank offering loans at low interest rates.
While the bank has taken steps to alert customers about potential fraud through the text messages, this vulnerability could explain how the customer data was obtained in the first place.

Chris discovered the flaw while looking for vulnerabilities in another KCB service, known as KCB Iwacu, which the bank rolled out in Burundi and Rwanda.
KCB Iwacu is similar to KCB Mtaani, a service that enables customers to deposit or withdraw money from an agent using their phones. The customer would initiate a transaction through the KCB app or via USSD, after which a transfer is made to the agent's account. After receiving a confirmation message from KCB and gives you money.
The vulnerability, Chris explains, lies in the fact that the agent receives confirmation by SMS. Anyone can spoof a text message and change the number of the sender. A hacker could then steal the money using only the phone number and the name of the agent. KCB's agency banking services use Point-Of-Sale machines, which make the attack more difficult but not impossible.
Chris checked the KCB app, and found that while it has all the necessary security features to protect user data transmitted over the network, but misusing them allowed a man in the middle attack which would have allowed a hacker to take complete control of user account.
The KCB app is no longer available in Burundi, but different versions of the app are in use in Kenya and Rwanda.
Following this discovery, Chris reportedly reached out to KCB, alerting them to the flaw in their system. Under Kenya's proposed Data Protection Act of 2012, anyone collecting sensitive data from the public must put in place appropriate technical and organizational measures to safeguard the data against the risk of loss, damage, destruction of or unauthorized access to personal information.

An agency that holds personal information shall ensure that the information is protected, by such security safeguards as are reasonable in the circumstances against loss, damage and destruction; and access and use by an unauthorised person, modification, or negligent disclosure or use The Data Protection Bill, 2012

When contacted for comment, KCB responded that they were aware of the claims of a data breach, and all customer data and platforms were safe.
Chris has detailed how he was able to find the information via the flaw in the KCB app, and how he and his team wrote a Python script to extract the data in a blog post.
UPDATE: KCB Bank has issued a statement in response to the revelations from this article:

We wish to assure all our customers that our platforms and data are highly secured. KCB Group systems including the mobile App have been extensively tested and validated by our internal and the best external data security experts. Multiple layers of encryption, private keys and unique authentication are among the key embedded data security features that safeguard our mobile app.
There is no breach to our systems.KCB Bank Kenya

EVERYONE IN UTAWALA SINGS PATRICK KARANI. for MCA 2017....see why.....

The coming mca of UTAWALA Ward

One may mistakenly have confused him to the current MCa in UTAWALA for his great work he is really doing to the residents.

Hon Patrick karani is a man of little words humble and hard working man whose main agendas is to see the people around him live a happy life.
due to the work he has already done and is still doing right a way.Any man even if blinded up by the political affluence would really crown him a king of their region in any chance.
most say that their have never met hero's but meet this hero very well renown by the residents of UTAWALA ward.

WHO IS Hon.PATRICK KARANI.

Hon Karani was born in 1985 at Pumwani Hospital to a mother who was a house maker and a father who was an Administration Police (AP) Officer. He spent most of his early years with the less privileged in the society. Most importantly, being a son of a police officer, Karani spend most of his young days in administration police camps. He, therefore, understands the needs of the people of Utawala and especially the members of disciplined forces. From his early days in school leadership skills were noticeable and he led fellow students and served the position of school captain in High school.
It clearly shows that this great man had qualities of leadership since she was young.

Hon Karani is among the few Certified Financial Analysts in Kenya at 30 years. He holds two Diplomas in business Management and also in IT. Further, Hon Karani is a graduate in B.A Political Science and Economics from the University of Nairobi. Karani has a Master’s of Science in Agriculture and Rural development from the Kenya Methodist University. Clearly, if it is about the right skills, then no other aspirant matches Hon Karani.
While at the University of Nairobi, Hon Karani was elected as a Student Leader representing the Main Campus. One of his achievements was to compel the Students Welfare Authority to allow students to cook their food because the university food was sub-standard, a practice which is still in place today. He used the position to sort out the issues his fellow students in campus faced and up-to-date his leadership record at the institution stands.

what has Hon karani done.achievements.

who said we can exhaust what the upcoming mca utawala ward has done??he has done much it can never be put down on writing.

Hon Karani believes that the young people are the leaders of today. He represents the youths in National Youth Council since 2009. Currently, Karani is the Director of Budget in Meru county. He is also the Patron of Utawala Youth Forum and the founder of Job creation movement that aims at empowering women and the youth. Early this year he launched a project called Poverty Prison Break where he has been assisting jobless youths from Utawala to venture into agribusiness by renting a farm in Aberdares where they are now self-employed.

In Utawala ward, Hon Karani has involved himself in various activities that have over time gotten him to be the resident’s favorite and their ‘mheshimiwa’. He has been giving Milk ATM’s to groups to start getting some income and this has so far proved successful and scalable.
Hon Karani has also helped the youth, women and people living with disabilities in registering companies to qualify for tender supply to government entities. In particular, he has assisted them to get tenders from some of the government departments such as KPLC, REA and Meru County. This has given many youths, women and people living with disabilities a source of income and employment thanks to Karani’s passion for empowering marginalized groups.
Hon Karani acquired a donkey for Utawala Youth to sell water in their area and make a living. He has also given youths a car to operate as a Taxi. Further to that, for the youths with formal employ-ability skills, Hon Karani has sought employment for them. He simply has a big and generous heart and is always ready to help his people to better their lives.
Hon Karani has also been protective of youths arrested mistakenly or on petty offenses and has been quick to secure their release and equip them with skills that can bring them money. Karani has also been involved in numerous fundraisers to support welfare of the residents such as churches, raising school fees, medical bills among others.
