She looked up and was surprised to see a tall man with popping eyes, an emaciated frame, dirtied black overalls and when Hinga introduced himself, Wanja says she found herself in shock. |
Standing before her was a friend she had known since she was seven years old, Wanja shared their story on social media. |
That is how Hinga was introduced to Kenyans for the first time as a destitute man in the streets of Wangige town. |
This was until Ms Wanja took him out of the streets and got him help at a local rehabilitation centre. |
"Before we knew it, we were smoking bhang. I gave in to drugs because of peer pressure," he told Daily Nation in an earlier interview. |
When his teachers discovered that Hinga was doing drugs, he was immediately expelled. |
He was in Form Two. |
Kenyans were amazed by Ms Wanja's commitment as she launched an appeal that saw Hinga undergo a rehabilitation programme at the Chiromo Medical Lane Centre. |
He successfully completed the programme in May 2018 and the hospital waived a Sh149,000 bill. |
In August 2018, however, it is reported that Hinga had a relapse and was spotted at Wangige market in Kabete where a few people tried to reach out to him, including her former classmate. |
"It's not an easy fight. Thank you for all your support and let's not judge him harshly for his relapse. Drug addiction is a disease and relapse is a part of the process. Let's pray for him .. We did our part as the society," Mwaura's Facebook post read. |
Ms Wanja did not say what caused Hinga's death. |

As people usually travel to be with their loved ones for Christmas, Slovak railways will add 5,700 seats in total. |
The Slovak Railway Company (ZSSK) will boost railways during the Christmas holidays and around the New Year, the Sme daily wrote. Expecting an increased number of passengers in this season, it will send two special express trains from Bratislava through Žilina and Košice, and two in the opposite direction. |
“ZSSK will also boost the busiest route with 35 selected Inter City (IC) trains; in total 75 second-class carriages, meaning 5,700 extra seats,” ZSSK spokesman Tomáš Kováč told Sme on December 18. |
“Moreover, ZSSK will send 22 extra trains of various categories around Christmas, New Year and the Epiphany holidays,” he added. |
All these trains and the seats in the extra carriages of the IC trains are included in the sale and booking system. |
The R 11609 special express train (Bratislava Main Station 13:37 - Košice 19:41) will operate on December 22, 2017 and on January 5, 2018. |
In the opposite direction, there will be the R 11610 special express train (Košice 14:25 – Bratislava Main Station 20:34) – on January 1, and January 7, 2018. |
Both trains will have reserved 2nd class coaches. |
“For their own travel comfort we recommend passengers to secure a seat on time – although most ZSSK trains do not have obligatory seat reservations,” board member and marketing manager of ZSSK, Karol Martinček, explained. |
ZSSK also recommends passengers to use alternative purchase methods, like advance ticket sales and the internet, to avoid queues at ticket offices. |

PNC Bank will take the place of Target on CGR's cars. |
INDIANAPOLIS -- A year ago, it seemed unfathomable that the most accomplished and well-respected driver in the Verizon IndyCar Series would enter the season without a primary sponsor. |
Yet after Target pulled out of IndyCar -- and later, motor sports all together -- that's the position Chip Ganassi Racing superstar Scott Dixon found himself in: without a full-time sponsorship partner for the first time in 16 years. |
There were, Ganassi assures, no shortage of suitors willing to team up with Dixon, but nothing ever materialized that was commensurate with a four-time IndyCar champion who's made 41 trips to victory lane -- including at the Indianapolis 500. And Ganassi was adamant he wouldn't give away his prize commodity for nothing... |
"The challenge was," Ganassi said, "he's not cheap." |
So Ganassi and Dixon waited through all of last season and into the offseason for the right deal to come along until finally someone at PNC Bank realized the absurdity of the situation. |
PNC already had a four-year partnership with Ganassi, said PNC Chairman, President and CEO William S. Demchak, but when he learned there was an opportunity to expand its relationship with the winningest active driver in the series and a respected IndyCar ambassador, he pounced. |
"Look, Scott was going into the 2018 season, unbelievably, without a lead sponsor," Demchak said. "We saw that as a huge opportunity for us, and so we upped are game a little bit and made this happen." |
On Tuesday at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum, CGR announced that PNC would serve as Dixon's primary sponsor for the 2018 Verizon IndyCar Series season and unveiled his nifty new blue-and-orange machine, which Dixon will drive at this year's 102 running of The Greatest Spectacle in Racing. |
To say securing a full-time sponsor was a load off Dixon's mind would be overstating it a bit for the always mellow driver. His focus is and always has been on putting his car in the winner's circle, but he knows Tuesday's announcement was great for him, IndyCar, and of course, his boss. |
"I imagine for Chip, it's a bit of a relief," Dixon said with a laugh. "I mean I don't want to be driving around a car with nothing on it. It doesn't work for myself, and it doesn't work for Chip, so the biggest issue was not agreeing to something that wasn't a good fit. That was the biggest part. But this is a great f... |
Not only does PNC's fit makes sense, Dixon said, in that one of the largest banks in the United States is aligning itself with one of the most successful teams in motor sports history, but it also speaks to the health and growth of IndyCar. |
In just the past few days, Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing, Team Penske and other teams across the paddock have announced major sponsorship deals. Dixon, who has been a part of Indy car racing for almost two decades said this is the healthiest he's seen the series in a long time. |
"I think in a trying time in sports in general, we're one of the few in an upward trend, which is fantastic to see," Dixon said. |
Demchak didn't disagree, saying the time to get into IndyCar sponsorship is now. |
"If you look at the Indy fan, they are more affluent; they use more banks, and you've seen viewership go up, I think it's 55 percent over the past four years in terms of people watching races," Demchak said. "So it is time to get into this. |
"And do this with Scott, I mean how Scott Dixon could've gone into 2018 without having a sponsor made no sense at all to me. Beyond the fact that he's the most winning driver out there, he's a terrifically nice guy. Family guy, good values, and he matches up well with how we think of our company. So we're thrilled all ... |

Did Brett Kavanaugh Lie About Deborah Ramirez? |
ORRIN HATCH: When did you first hear of [Deborah] Ramirez’s allegations against you? |
KAVANAUGH: In the last — in the period since then, the New Yorker story. |
Ramirez is the woman who says that Kavanaugh exposed himself to her during a drinking game while they were both at Yale. Kavanaugh denies this ever happened and says that he learned about Ramirez’s allegation only after it was published in the New Yorker last Sunday. |
….The texts show Kavanaugh may need to be questioned about how far back he anticipated that Ramirez would air allegations against him. Berchem says in her memo that Kavanaugh “and/or” his friends “may have initiated an anticipatory narrative” as early as July to “conceal or discredit” Ramirez. |
All the business about Kavanaugh’s drinking, which has absorbed everyone’s attention for the past week, was never going to go anywhere. He may have done his best to downplay how much he drank, but that’s a political misdemeanor. It almost certainly wouldn’t have derailed his nomination. |
However, if it turns out that Kavanaugh (a) reached out to potential witnesses weeks ago regarding allegations of misconduct and (b) lied to the Senate about when he first heard about these allegations, then he’s toast. The question, of course, is whether Bercham is telling the truth. Bercham told NBC that the FBI has ... |
Friday's stock market plunge in the wake of BrExit that caught the financial markets, bookmakers and pollsters by surprise who had by the close of polls all but discounted a REMAIN outcome and thus sent stock futures and sterling soaring, only to do a panic reversal a couple of hours later as the actual results started... |
Effectively all those who had been wrong for the 7 year duration of the stocks bull market were once more proclaiming its demise, and it did not matter what the FTSE actually did post Brexit for the blogosfear perma-doom infection had firmly spread and taken hold of the mainstream press such as the FT, who already pred... |
So what did the FTSE actually do? Well, the FTSE futures bottomed early Friday morning at about 5750, before the markets opened, and then with each passing trading day has gathered strength and momentum to the UPSIDE! With the last FTSE close of 6360, its highest since April and positive for the year. |
Thus a Brexit forecast implied that the FTSE and Sterling WOULD PLUNGE on Brexit night, especially as in the immediate run up to the count the FTSE and Sterling were strongly trending in the WRONG direction by discounting a REMAIN win, which was also true of the bookmarkers and pollsters all of which was resulting in a... |
And then the polls closed and all hell broke loose as YouGov confirmed that REMAIN would win triggering a further sharp rally for the ftse futures and sterling that was sustained until the actual results started to be announced shortly after midnight. Which I covered in this comprehensive video of exactly what happened... |
Whilst the following video highlights key events out of 8 hours of the BBC EU Referendum results coverage. |
So against prevailing year long perma-doom my consistent view ALL year has been that the stock market, FTSE and Dow would trend towards NEW ALL TIME HIGHS before the end of this year. Whilst my last in-depth analysis of Mid May concluded that stocks had entered a correction that would see the Dow trend lower towards 17... |
Therefore, so far the stock market has been trending inline with my expectations i.e. to temporarily plunge on Brexit, and now having recovered ALL of the decline so has done nothing to alter my long standing view that the stock market remains on track to trend towards new all time highs during the second half of this ... |

Zuhause Bakery & Coffee is the perfect mix of the foreign and the familiar. |
You'll find everything from soft pretzels to schweineohren — which is German for "pig's ear" but is actually just a puff pastry that is named for its shape, not its ingredients — inside the bakery. |
But the heart of the business isn't about the confections coming out of the kitchen. It's about family. |
Zuhause — German for "at home" — wouldn't even exist if not for the strong familial bonds of those involved in the business. |
"I see family," says Thomas Peters, who opened and recently sold The Lab, a coffee shop in River Ranch. He's working as a consultant for Zuhause as the business gets started. |
"I see family," he continues. "I see a passion that this family wants to share with others. It's wanting to have your sister home. It's that communal aspect where you all sit down at Sunday dinner." |
Last year, Chuck Nguyen asked his sister and brother-in-law what it would take for them to move to Lafayette. |
The couple had lived in Germany more than 25 years. They had a successful bakery business with 15 locations and 100 employees. |
But Nguyen's aging mother wanted her eight children close to home. |
"Family is very important," Nguyen says. "Nothing is more important to her than having all my brothers and sisters together again." |
So what would it take to get Nguyen's sister and brother-in-law to agree to move to Lafayette? |
Nguyen, who was developing the Southern Plaza shopping center at the time, began constructing Zuhause in the development in January. |
Rainer and Hanh Krischkowski sold their bakery empire in Germany and moved to Lafayette in May. |
"It's family," Rainer Krischkowski says. "It's family. My wife spent so much time with me in Germany for my family and was getting kind of homesick, so we said, 'Why don't we do it?'" |
Zuhause will open its doors and drive-thru Friday, Sept. 22. |
The bakery will offer sweet and savory pastries, bread, gelato, coffee, tea and more. |
