Bernard Barmasai
Bernard Barmasai( born 6 May 1974 in Keiyo) is an athlete from Kenya.
He specialised in steeplechase running but is nowadays a marathoner.
He set the new 3000 metres steeplechase world record of 7:55.72 on 24 August 1997 in Cologne.
The record was broken by Brahim Boulami from Morocco in 2001.
The time survived as a Kenyan Record until July 2011, when Brimin Kipruto ran a new African Record time of 7:53 .64. Barmasai won the Eurocross in 1997, before going on to win the team gold with Kenya at that year's IAAF World Cross Country Championships.
Barmasai suffered from knee injuries and was mostly sidelined in 2002 and 2003.
This prompted him to quit steeplechase and switch to marathons.

Christopher Ward (entomologist)
Christopher Ward( 1836, Halifax – 1900, Barbon) was an English entomologist who specialised in butterflies.
He wrote" African Lepidoptera, being descriptions of new species", published in London by Longmans, Green& Co.( 1873- 1875?).
This quarto work in three parts has 16 pages and 18 plates, 12 of which are handcoloured.
It is based on two papers Ward had previously published in the Entomologist's Monthly Magazine.
These were" Descriptions of new species of Diurnal Lepidoptera From Madagascar" and" Descriptions of new species of African Diurnal Lepidoptera"( butterflies in this last work are depicted in Part 3 of" African Lepidoptera" but the text is omitted).
This well- illustrated, rare work is an important contribution to the knowledge of the East African butterfly fauna as it contains descriptions of 55 new species chiefly from Madagascar, the Cameroons, Old Calabar and Ribé( East Africa).
The now extinct Seychelles parakeet," Psittacula wardi" was named in his honour.
Ward was a Fellow of the Linnean Society.
His collection is in the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle except the types, which were sold to Charles Oberthur.
