Business new tamfitronics
Kenya’s foreign exchange reserves have experienced a significant drop of USD 487 million (about KES 63.9 billion) over the past week, following substantial repayments of external debt. An English-language daily business newspaper published in Kenya, Business Daily, reported that this decline has reduced the resources critical for supporting the local currency. The decrease in reserves follows the government’s repayment of USD 533 million (about KES 70 billion) in external loans, which includes USD 433 million (KES 56.8 billion) used to service a loan from China.

Aligning PR Metrics with Business Goals That Matter
Business
Capturing the true value of public relations means going beyond counting media mentions or press releases. It takes more. Much more. It means connecting PR efforts to what actually matters to the business, growth, reputation, revenue. These are the things that keep leaders up at night.
At Newswirejet, we've watched so many organizations struggle. They're busy. They're sending press releases, earning media hits, holding events. But they can’t seem to prove how any of it ties back to results.

One of the key benefits of being a Rotary member is that we get to hear terrific speakers every week. One such speaker was Blue Cole, Economic Development Manager for Peachtree City. I will get to that below.

Business
The Pittsburgh Steelers took care of business, gaining more traction atop the AFC North with a comfortable 23-9 victory against the Cleveland Browns. In this article, I will provide data from Pro Football Focus (PFF) and takeaways.Offense:Excellent (90-Plus Grades):NONE.Great (80-Plus Grades):Two players. The highest grade on offense was TE Connor Heyward (88.9 grade, 6 snaps). Most positive in his limited playing time was a red zone touchdown, re-routing on a scramble drill in the end zone on a nice catch, giving Pittsburgh their first breathing room in the second half (16-3). Noted a couple of poor run block reps (62.0), but his lone route as a receiver cashed in big, for a team-leading 90.5 receiving grade.
QB Aaron Rodgers (82.9, 56) was up and down. His first touchdown was the improvisation to Heyward, and other...
