However, analysts say that if the opposition sticks together and fields a single presidential candidate, their odds would improve dramatically and spell trouble for Jubilee. A lot can happen in seven months to change voters' minds. Raila's NASA comrades — Wiper Leader Kalonzo Musyoka and his Amani National Congress counterpart Musalia Mudavadi — would garner three per cent and two per cent, respectively. Ford Kenya Leader Moses Wetang'ula would get only one per cent of the vote. The survey is likely to leave Raila and his advisers pondering their strategy at a time when the opposition chief is drawing up an elaborate strategy to unseat Uhuru. However, the poll indicates nearly one- fifth — 1. The other presidential candidates — including Philip Murgor and Ekuro Aukot — would not win any votes today, the survey indicates.
Also without a single vote for President were DP William Ruto, ex- assistant Minister Peter Kenneth and Bomet Governor Isaac Rutto. Ruto has declaredhe is backing Uhuru's reelection and will run for President in 2. Kenneth is also backing Uhuru's reelection. He came a distant fourth in the 2.

Twelve per cent prefer Kalonzo, two per cent Wetang'ula and one per cent Kanu chairman and Baringo Senator Gideon Moi.

Secretary general Nick Salat says Kanu is part of the movement, a position rejected by other officials. It is not clear what method the opposition will use to choose its presidential candidate. They plan to unveil their line- up next month. According to the survey, most Kenyans who prefer Uhuru over Raila cite the need to develop the country and grow the economy, create jobs, fight insecurity, forge unity and fight tribalism.
For example, 8. 3 per cent of respondents said they would vote for Uhuru to develop the country, compared with 1. Raila for the same reason However, 5. Raila to fight corruption, compared with 3.

S study, but its authors notes that capsaicin may be the miracle worker. The secret to living a healthier, more meaningful and longer life. Capsaicin, the component that makes a chilli hot, can affect the body in many ways.
It can metabolize fat breakdown and storage for energy in different organs, protecting against plaque build- up, high cholesterol and obesity. This, in turn, can also reduce hypertension and type 2 diabetes, as well as deactivate certain regulators of cellular growth, which could stop tumours. Different types of hot peppers also contain B, C and pro- A vitamins, antioxidants and anti- inflammatory effects. The PLo. S ONE study referred to two prior studies that supported the belief that hot peppers were key to longevity.

The situation is not different in Kenya, where the richest Kenyans’ net worth is more than Sh.

Ivanka line grabbing even more wallets after boycott. There’s no such thing as bad publicity, right? Right, especially when others generate it for you.
Either despite or because of a boycott campaign against Ivanka Trump’s designer line, they claim to have scored record sales in February, even after several stores stopped carrying it. The Hill notes the claim, which went viral earlier today: Ivanka Trump’s eponymous women’s fashion line is reporting record sales figures despite calls for a boycott and controversies surrounding President Trump.“Since the beginning of February, they were some of the best performing weeks in the history of the brand,” Abigail Klem, the president of the Ivanka Trump fashion brand, tells Refinery. Tuesday. Reporter Ana Colon notes that the line got a huge boost in online searches after the boycott, going from being ranked by Lyst eleventh among all brands by order count, and highest among all those in the Ivanka Trump Collection class of high- couture brands.
That was an improvement from being ranked 5. Lyst warns that it probably won’t last, though, and points to a similar spike in searches for pantsuits before the election, because of you know who: However, the spokesperson for Lyst noted that despite having had a big February, “it’s fair to say the surge is not long lasting.” The platform historically observes engagement tied to current events: For instance, before the presidential election, Lyst noted a 4. Hillary Clinton. Because Ivanka Trump and her now- unaffiliated brand were widely reported on last month, that could have very well led people to seek out its products online. Plus, after news and tweets broke that some department stores would no longer sell the line (and as a response to the popular #Grab.
Your. Wallet protest), groups of Trump supporters pledged to continue to shop the First Daughter’s brand elsewhere, Business Insider reported. Now that the dust has seemingly settled — at least for now — will Ivanka Trump Collection follow up the flurry of media coverage with another successful month? That much is to be seen.
That might not be seen at all. Colon and The Hill both point out that the private collection does not routinely release sales results, so unless the news is especially good, the entire issue will probably drop off the radar screen. Ivanka’s line isn’t exactly intended for mass sales, anyway; it’s aimed at a boutique segment of the market, even if it has been carried by larger chains at times.
The dynamic between boycotts, publicity, and interest demonstrates why most boycotts are doomed to failure, even while being a perfectly legitimate free- market response. Most of the time people are unaware of them at all, but when boycotts do succeed in broad awareness, the first response is curiosity rather than rejection. A few succeed because of overwhelming scorn for the target of the boycott, but almost always the publicity bark is much worse than the bite.
In the late 1. 98. Martin Scorcese released the controversial film The Last Temptation of Christ to a hailstorm of protests. Various Christian denominations demanded a boycott of the film, demands which generated more curiosity about the art- house film than it did outright rejection. Newspapers debated the boycotts for weeks, adding to the film’s publicity. It got good reviews at the time, perhaps influenced by the pre- release opposition to it, and did middling- to- good box office for a small- budget film. The New York Times reported a sold- out opening at the time: After a month of protests and angry rallies by groups that consider the movie blasphemous, Martin Scorsese’s ”Last Temptation of Christ” opened today to long lines, sold- out theaters and scattered picketing. People eager to buy tickets greatly outnumbered the protesters in all of the nine cities where the movie opened this afternoon.
The largest number of demonstrators turned out in New York, where by early evening more than 5. Greek Orthodox, were packed into a cordoned- off area in front of the Ziegfeld theater, with 1.

Champion (2017) Streaming more. I’ve even heard that Scorcese has managed to carve out a decent career since then despite the boycott, but don’t quote me on that. Almost every public boycott has wound up producing similar results, especially purely political boycotts such as the one aimed at Ivanka’s clothing line. Those ignore the fact that politics leaves tens of millions of potential consumers on the other side of an issue, and that those people will rally to the side of a perceived political ally rather than join a boycott against them, even if they may not have been inclined to patronize that retailer beforehand. But both of those effects are short- term at best, which means that Ivanka Trump Collection will probably return very shortly to the previous trajectory of their sales figures.
