Parliament choir wows crowd at the 20th national prayer breakfast
It was a break from the past as the parliament choir took the floor for a presentation during the 20th National prayer breakfast. After years of ridicule, with their talent said to lie elsewhere for their not so synchronized vocals, the members of parliament would find redemption as they made their presentation at the prayer breakfast. When the Bunge choir took the floor, led by Nyandarua Woman representative Faith Gitau to sing the popular song hakuna mungu kama wewe, though not as smooth as their counterparts who presented the first song , there was notable improvement as compared to previous presentations by the parliament choir. The prayer breakfast is interdenominational and emphasizes the importance of national unity and leaders acknowledging their responsibilities and privileges before God. The event holds great significance in Kenya’s calendar as it promotes national unity, reconciliation, and spiritual reflection among the country leaders.

Coca-Cola Is Making A Coke Drink That Tastes Like ‘League Of Legends’ Experience Points
League of Legends has its own flavor of coke, but I can't figure out what that flavor actually is. Credit: Coca-ColaRiot Games and Coca-Cola have partnered to launch a new League of Legends branded drink, which somehow will taste like experience points, something that not only is not a flavour, it's not really an actual thing in real life. Coca-Cola Ultimate Zero Sugar is the name of the new drink, which launches today in locations such as the United States, Canada, China, South Korea, Latin America and Africa. The cans while still clearly being those of Coca-Cola, feature League of Legends branding with a Hextech blue glow and do look quite appealing. This one is the first video game-related one and despite the ludicrous flavor name, is quite a cool thing for League of Legends fans.
