50 and winning as Tumusiime wins Pearl Africa golf series
They say age means nothing. Michael Tumusiime proved this at Entebbe Golf Club when he beat much younger players. At 50 years old, he scored 73 on the par-71 course.

President Ruto scolded some people at a Githunguri rally when they yelled during a speech. He visited the Mt Kenya area for five days, stopping in the Nyeri and Kiambu counties.

OLED vs LCD Which Screen Suits You Best
You might wonder which screen works better for your next laptop or TV. OLED and LCD both look nice but work differently. LCD screens shine light through liquid crystals to make colors appear. OLED screens light up each tiny dot separately without needing a backlight. This small difference changes how you see pictures on each screen type. OLED screens show deeper blacks because they can turn off parts completely. When you see black on an OLED, those spots actually stop making light. LCD screens always have light behind them, making black areas look more gray. Pictures look sharper on OLED screens because dark and bright areas stand out more clearly against each other. LCDs shine brighter overall, thanks to their strong backlights. This...
