President Ruto picked Geoffrey Ruku, the Mbeere North MP, for his Cabinet team on Wednesday. Ruku learned about his new job as Cabinet Secretary for Public Service and Human Capital Development when he traveled with Deputy President Kithure Kindiki to check on the Kanyuambora irrigation water project in Mbeere North.

Noctua plans to release a liquid cooling system in 2026 that uses the thermosiphon effect instead of a pump. The cooling happens by itself - the CPU heats liquid in a special block, which then changes to vapor and travels upward through pipes to a radiator with two 120 mm fans. Once the vapor cools and becomes liquid again, it simply flows back down to the CPU block. This happens because of heat differences, not mechanical pumping.
The design reduces common problems like noise and breakdowns that plague pump systems. Though the setup doesn't have a pump, it still makes some noise from the fans that help remove heat from the radiator. The system functions similar to a heat pipe, with natural movement pushing coolant through its closed...

The Zimbabwe health system previously received almost half its budget from international partners, with substantial amounts coming from American sources. Officials expected gradual reductions in foreign support over time, but nobody anticipated...
