Michoro ya ujenzi wa Kampasi ya Mloganzila iliyo kijijini Kwembe katikati ya Wilaya za Kisarawe Mkoa wa Pwani na Kinondoni Mkoa wa Dar es salaam. Hii ni sehemu ya Chuo cha Afya na Sayansi Shirikishi Muhimbili (MUHAS) inayojengwa kwenye eneo la ekari 3800 kwa ajili ya kutolea mafunzo kwa wanafunzi wa udaktari na huduma za Afya wapatao 15,000 kwa mwaka, na pia itakua sehemu ya kutolea matibabu ya maradhi yote makuu na ya kawaida nchini. Kwa mujibu wa Makamu Mkuu wa Chuo cha Afya na Sayansi Shirikishi Muhimbili, ujenzi wa Hospitali hii, ambayo pesa ya ujenzi wake imeshapatikana, unatarajiwa kuanza mwishoni mwa mwezi Januari, 2013 na unatarajiwa kukamilika miaka miwili baada ya ujenzi kuanza. Kwa maneno mengine Kampasi ya Muhimbili ya Mloganzila inategemewa kuanza kazi mwanzoni mwa mwaka 2015. Tayari wataalamu na wafanyakazi wanaotarajiwa kufanya kazi katika kampasi ya Mloganzila wameshaanza mafunzo ndani na nje ya nchi. Mara hospitali hiyo kubwa na ya kisasa itakapokamilika itakua na uwezo wa vitanda vya kulaza wagonjwa mia sita (600). Sambamba na kampasi ya MUHAS ya Mloganzila pia ujenzi wa Kampasi ya Afya ya Chuo Kikuu cha Dodoma (UDOM) umeshaanza na kufikia hatua ya juu na ambapo pia hospitali hiyo inatarajiwa kuanza shughuli zake rasmi mwaka 2015. Kwa mujibu wa Mkurugenzi wa Mfuko wa Afya ya Jamii (National Health Insurance Fund) NHIF Bw. Emmanuel Humba mchakato wa kufanikisha uanzishaji wa Chuo Hospitali hiyo vimeshaanza ambapo baadhi ya wataalamu wakiwemo Madaktari na watumishi wengine wako nchini na nje ya nchi kwa ajili ya masomo na mafunzo mbalimbali. Chuo hicho kinatarajia kuwa na vifaa vya kisasa vya tiba vinavyokidhi mahitaji ya Afya na Elimu ya Udaktari wa kiwango cha Kimataifa, ikiwa ni mikakati kabambe ya serikali ya awamu ya nne katika kuhakikisha nchi ina wataalamu wengi na huduma za kisasa za afya ili kuondokana na adha ya kupeleka wagonjwa nje ya nchi kwa ajili ya matibabu. Kwa sasa MUHAS inachukua takriban wanafunzi 2442 wa udaktari na huduma za afya kwa mwaka. Hivyo ujio wa kampasi ya Afya Mloganzila na Kampasi ya afya ya UDOM utaharakisha mpango wa serikali wa kupunguza wastani wa wagonjwa kwa daktari mmoja kwa kiwango kikubwa. Hivi sasa wastani ni daktari mmoja anahudumia wagonjwa 30,000.

MICHORO YA CHUO CHA MUHIMBILI KINACHOJENGWA MLOGANZILA KISARAWE

President Barack Obama calls out to people outside a campaign office in Chicago, Tuesday, Nov. 6, 2012, after a visit with volunteers on the morning of the 2012 election
 US Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney waves to supporters awaiting his arrival at Pittsburgh international airport in Coraopolis, Pennsylvania, on November 6, 2012. Democrat Barack Obama and Romney made last-minute appeals for votes as Americans trooped to the polls to decide a cliffhanger race for the White House.




He's president. Four more years in the White House
--
BARACK Obama is back in the White House after winning the 2012 US presidential election.

America’s first black leader beat Mitt Romney in the closely fought battle tonight to secure another four years as the most powerful man in the world.
As US TV networks reported he had won, Obama tweeted: "This happened because of you. Thank you."
He then tweeted: "Four more years."
Early indications suggested a long drawn-out election after tight exit polls in the swing states of Ohio and Virginia.

But the momentum started to swing in the early hours to Obama as he took Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

That meant Romney's only way to the Oval office was to take the crucial states of Ohio, Virginia and Florida to get over the target of 270 electoral college votes.
But Obama picked up the vital state of Ohio to end Romney’s bid to be the first Mormon to lead the States.
During the night the president's campaign made sure people did not leave voting queues early, urging its supporters on Twitter to #stayinline.

Earlier Obama and Romney had each grabbed early wins in states traditionally loyal to their parties.
Using exit polls, US television networks projected victories for Republican Romney in Alabama, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee and West Virginia.

Democrat incumbent Obama has picked up Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois,Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Rhode Island, and Vermont - all states in which he was favourite.

BREAKING NEWS!!! PRESIDENT OBAMA RE ELECTED AS THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA...!!!

Here are the ten elements that make up the great power argument.
  1. Prepare. Prepare until we have become the argumentPrepare until you know every scale on the hide of the fish.  Having prepared, next understand that good preparation is like writing a script for a screenplay.  Proper preparation requires one to tell the story and to assign roles to the parties.  Cast your side as the good guys, as the side chat is unjustly accused, wrongly despised, gravely misunderstood.  Cast your side as the underdog.  And, when those for whom we argue cannot wear the white hat, argue their case from inside their hides.
  2. Open the Other to receive your argument.  You have already learned how: empower the other to receive or reject your argument.
  3. Give the argument in the form of story.  As we have seen, we are genetic storytellers and listeners to stories.  Remember, fables, allegories, and parables are the traditional tools of successful argument.  Every movie, every soap, every sitcom, most lyrics in popular songs, all operas and plays, most successful television commercials are in story form.  So do not forget what you have learned already: jurors, the boss, the family, the Other are conditioned to listen to stories.
  4. Tell the truth.  With ordinary words you have learned the incredible power of credibility.  Being who you are is powerful.  Saying how you feel is powerful.  To be open and real and afraid, if you are afraid, is powerful.  The power argument begins and ends by telling the truth.  Truth is power.
  5. Tell the Other what you want.  If you are arguing before a jury for money, ask for money.  If you leave the Other to guess what you want, their guessing may be wrong, and guessing spoils your credibility.  Remember the power of justice.  Jurors will circumvent the law to mete out justice.  People will break the law to obtain justice.  People will die in wars to win it.  People can live without food or shelter or love.  This is a species that can bear every kind and character of pain except one pain--the pain of injustice.  Discover the natural justice of your argument and ask for it--demand it.
  6. Avoid sarcasm, scorn, and ridicule.  Use humor cautiously.  Hold back insult.  No one admires the cynic, the scoffer, the mocker, the small, and the petty.  Giving respect to one’s opponent elevates us.  Those who insult and slight do so from low places.  Remember: Respect is reciprocal.  The employment of humor can be the most devastating of all weapons in an argument.  Humor is omnipotent when it reveals the truth.  But beware: attempting to be funny and failing is one of the most dangerous of all strategies.
  7. Logic is power. If logic is on your side, ride it--ride it all the way.  If logic is not on your side, if logic leads to an unjust result, it will have no power.  As Samuel Butler said, "Logic is like the sword--those who appeal to it shall perish by it."  Logic does not always lead to truth or justice.  Logic defeats spontaneity.  Logic is often dull and is more comfortable with the dead, for it is often without spirit.  Do not give up creativity for logic.  However, the creative mind will soon see that creativity is often served by logic.
  8. Action and winning are brothersThe worst of head-on attacks is often better than the most sophisticated defense.  Never permit your opponent to take control.  Do not defend when you can attack.  Counterpunching is for boxers, and counterpunchers most often lose.  The great champions of the world take control.  The great generals attack first, and attack again.  Take the initiative.  Do something.  But with those we love, the best attack is often to attack with love, and, as we shall see, winning is often accomplished by the art of losing.
  9. Admit at the outset the weak points in your argument.  You can expose your weaknesses in a better light than your opponent, who will expose them in the darkest possible way.  An honest admission, having come from you, not only endows you with credibility, it also leaves your opponent with nothing to say except what you have already admitted.
  10. Understand your power. Give yourself permission--only to winBut remember, arrogance, insolence, and stupidity are close relatives.

Jose Mujica: The world's 'poorest' president

This is the residence of the president of Uruguay, Jose Mujica, whose lifestyle clearly differs sharply from that of most other world leaders.


It's a common grumble that politicians' lifestyles are far removed from those of their electorate. Not so in Uruguay. Meet the president - who lives on a ramshackle farm and gives away most of his pay.

Laundry is strung outside the house. The water comes from a well in a yard, overgrown with weeds. Only two police officers and Manuela, a three-legged dog, keep watch outside.

This is the residence of the president of Uruguay, Jose Mujica, whose lifestyle clearly differs sharply from that of most other world leaders.

President Mujica has shunned the luxurious house that the Uruguayan state provides for its leaders and opted to stay at his wife's farmhouse, off a dirt road outside the capital, Montevideo.

The president and his wife work the land themselves, growing flowers.

This austere lifestyle - and the fact that Mujica donates about 90% of his monthly salary, equivalent to $12,000 (£7,500), to charity - has led him to be labelled the poorest president in the world.

"I've lived like this most of my life," he says, sitting on an old chair in his garden, using a cushion favoured by Manuela the dog.

"I can live well with what I have."

His charitable donations - which benefit poor people and small entrepreneurs - mean his salary is roughly in line with the average Uruguayan income of $775 (£485) a month.

In 2010, his annual personal wealth declaration - mandatory for officials in Uruguay - was $1,800 (£1,100), the value of his 1987 Volkswagen Beetle.

This year, he added half of his wife's assets - land, tractors and a house - reaching $215,000 (£135,000).

That's still only about two-thirds of Vice-President Danilo Astori's declared wealth, and a third of the figure declared by Mujica's predecessor as president, Tabare Vasquez.

Elected in 2009, Mujica spent the 1960s and 1970s as part of the Uruguayan guerrilla Tupamaros, a leftist armed group inspired by the Cuban revolution.

He was shot six times and spent 14 years in jail. Most of his detention was spent in harsh conditions and isolation, until he was freed in 1985 when Uruguay returned to democracy.

Jose Mujica: The world's 'poorest' president

  
All the president's wealth - a 1987 VW Beetle


Those years in jail, Mujica says, helped shape his outlook on life.

"I'm called 'the poorest president', but I don't feel poor. Poor people are those who only work to try to keep an expensive lifestyle, and always want more and more," he says.

"This is a matter of freedom. If you don't have many possessions then you don't need to work all your life like a slave to sustain them, and therefore you have more time for yourself," he says.

"I may appear to be an eccentric old man... But this is a free choice."

The Uruguayan leader made a similar point when he addressed the Rio+20 summit in June this year: "We've been talking all afternoon about sustainable development. To get the masses out of poverty.

"But what are we thinking? Do we want the model of development and consumption of the rich countries? I ask you now: what would happen to this planet if Indians would have the same proportion of cars per household than Germans? How much oxygen would we have left?

"Does this planet have enough resources so seven or eight billion can have the same level of consumption and waste that today is seen in rich societies? It is this level of hyper-consumption that is harming our planet."

Mujica accuses most world leaders of having a "blind obsession to achieve growth with consumption, as if the contrary would mean the end of the world".

We've all heard the expression "haste makes waste," but how about waste making energy? At the fourth annual Maker Faire Africa in Lagos, Nigeria, a quartet of teenage girls ages 14 through 15 have created a urine-powered generator. This eco-friendly energy source cranks out six hours of electricity for every liter of human bodily fluid by separating the excretion's hydrogen with an electrolytic cell. While this method of human waste disposal seems promising, the device has the potential to be a pee-powered biobomb and will need more than its limited safety measures before you're able to pick one up at your local hardware store. However, if this can help us save a few bucks on our energy bill, then we need to introduce these girls to these guys posthaste.

Cellphone radiation exposure during pregnancy impacts fetal brain development and may cause hyperactivity, Yale School of Medicine researchers say.

Dr. Hugh Taylor, a medical professor and chief of Yale’s Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Sciences, co-authored a recent study to probe the impact of cellphone exposure on pregnancies.



“‘We had pregnant mice in cages and we just simply put a cellphone on top of the cage. In half the mice, the cellphone was active and in half of the … cages the cellphone was turned off so it wasn’t transmitting a signal at all,” he said.


He said the researchers allowed the mice to give birth and waited until offspring were young adults before behaviors were tested.


“The mice exposed to cellphones were more active,’ Taylor said. ‘Their memory was slightly decreased … these mice were basically bouncing off the walls and didn’t have a care in the world.’


Taylor says the study shows there is a “biological basis” to suggest cellphone exposure can impact pregnancies. He says he is encouraging patients to be cautious with devices and recommends pregnant women hold phones away from the body.


Cellphone manufacturers, including Blackberry and Apple, also say consumers should keep devices away from the body due to potential safety risks but these warnings often go unnoticed because they are featured in device manuals.


Taylor is slated to join other global researchers on Monday for a panel discussion about the impact cellphone exposure may have on pregnancies. The panel has been organized by Dr. Devra Davis, who runs the non-profit organization Environmental Health Trust.


Davis’ organization has been pushing governments around the world to take action on cellphone safety.


“While it may be legal for companies to show advertisements of phones being used in ways that are not recommended, it is not ethical,’ she said. ‘When they sell phones to people, and they tell them in fine print to not use them next to the body, and then all their advertisements show them using cellphones exactly next to the body … I think that is really a profound disconnect that people ought to be aware of.’


The world now has almost as many cellphone subscriptions as inhabitants, according to recent numbers published by the UN telecom agency.


In 2011, the World Health Organization’s cancer arm said cellphones could cause cancer and called for more research.


Some other countries around the world, including France, have banned companies from advertising cellphones to children due to the possible risks.

In 2011, the World Health Organization’s cancer arm said cellphones could cause cancer and called for more research.


Some other countries around the world, including France, have banned companies from advertising cellphones to children due to the possible risks.
