Hiyo sio sanamu,bali "msanii" mmoja ambaye kila wikiendi anavizia mtaa ulio bize na "kuganda kama sanamu" kisha kutoa vijishara vya kuvunja mbavu.Hulazimishwi kutoa asante bali "mchango wako utathaminiwa".Ni mchanganyiko wa ubunifu na "usanii" (i.e. ujanja-ujanja wa kuishi mjini)
Huyu nae ni mtaalam wa cover versions,or sort of off.Ukiskia muziki wake pasipo kumtia machoni unaweza kudhani The Killers,Coldplay,au rockers flani wanafanya concert mtaani minus makelele ya kawaida ya rock stars.Kipaji?Usanii? Well,katika zama hizi za recession,credit crunch na vitu kama hivyo,si serikali na taasisi za fedha pekee zinazohitaji kuwa na mikakati ya kujinusuru.Nahisi "wasanii" hawa wanatumia vipaji-au ujanja ujanja-kukabiliana na hali hiyo.At the end of the day,kinacho-matter ni kono kwenda kinywani.22 Jul 2009
Riot police have broken up a tense standoff between black and white protesters in a town in Texas.
The conflict began with a march by 100 mostly African-American activists, who were unhappy at the state’s handling of the case of 24-year-old Brandon McClelland who was run over and killed by a vehicle.
Speaking to US television network ABC, Brandon's mother Jacquiline said: "The reason for today's rally is to let everybody know how the justice system around here is really doing things."
When the protesters reached the town square, the crowd of black demonstrators ballooned to around 200 people on one side of the street.
Approximately a dozen white supremacists, including four skinheads carrying Nazi swastika flags, gathered on the other side.
A skinhead and another white man were arrested on suspicion of disorderly conduct, before the protesters separated peacefully.
No blows were exchanged.

IMEBAINIKA kuwa, Ofisi ya Bunge imetumia vibaya mamilioni ya shilingi yaliyotolewa na serikali kwa ajili ya uendeshaji wa ofisi hiyo katika kipindi cha mwaka wa fedha wa 2007/2008.
Hayo yamebainishwa na baadhi ya wabunge wa Kamati ya Bunge ya Hesabu za Serikali (PAC) katika mahojiano yao na Tanzania Daima Jumatano yaliyofanyika wiki iliyopita mjini Dodoma kwa wakati tofauti.
Wakizungumza kwa sharti la majina yao kutoandikwa gazetini, kwa kile walichoeleza kuwa ni kuogopa kuandamwa na baadhi ya wabunge wenzao, walisema ushahidi wa maelezo yao umo katika ripoti ya Mdhibiti na Mkaguzi Mkuu wa Hesabu za Serikali (CGA) ya mwaka wa fedha wa 2007/2008.
Mmoja wa wabunge hao alieleza kuwa licha ya ripoti ya CGA kubainisha matumizi mabaya ya mamilioni ya fedha katika Ofisi ya Bunge, Mwenyekiti wa PAC, John Cheyo, alizuia kujadiliwa kwa ripoti hiyo baada ya kushauriana na baadhi ya vigogo wa Ofisi ya Bunge, jambo ambalo linazuia kuchukuliwa hatua zozote za kisheria au kurekebisha hali hiyo hadi sasa.
Alisema Ofisi ya Bunge imekuwa ikifanya jitihada za makusudi kuhakikisha ripoti hiyo haijadiliwi na PAC, kwa hofu kwamba inaweza kusababisha baadhi ya watendaji kuwajibishwa na baadhi ya wanasiasa kuchafuka majina yao.
Cheyo, Mwenyekiti wa PAC na Mbunge wa Bariadi Mashariki (UDP), alipoulizwa na gazeti hili kuhusu madai hayo, alisema ni kweli ripoti ya CAG kuhusu matumizi ya fedha za serikali katika Ofisi ya Bunge si nzuri, kwa sababu inaonyesha upungufu mkubwa wa urejeshaji masufuru pamoja na matumuzi mengine mabaya ya fedha za ofisi hiyo.
Hata hivyo, alikana kuikalia ripoti hiyo kwa namna yoyote na kueleza kuwa, aliamua kuiweka pembeni baada ya kushauriana na kukubaliana na wajumbe wote wa kamati hiyo kuwa hawawezi kuijadili, kwa sababu walishindwa kumhoji Katibu wa Bunge, Dk. Thomas Kashililah, ambaye wakati kamati hiyo akikutana kujadili ripoti mbalimbali za CGA kuhusu hesabu za taasisi za serikali, alikuwa hajaapishwa na rais kushika wadhifa huo.
“Ni kweli ripoti ya CAG kuhusu matumuzi ya fedha katika Ofisi ya Bunge si nzuri, inaonyesha upungufu mkubwa katika urejeshaji wa masurufu, na ripoti zote ambazo zinaonyesha hivyo kihasibu huwa ni mbaya. Sasa kwa Spika hii si nzuri, inamtia doa, anaweza asiaminike tena iwapo itawekwa wazi, kwa sababu ataonekana hafanani na kauli zake.
“Siyasemi haya kwa sababu nina kisasi na Spika, bali ni kwa sababu umeniuliza. Unajua Spika amenijeruhi hivi karibuni, sasa sitaki nionekana kama ninalipa kisasi. Lakini ukweli unabaki pale pale kwa sababu umeandikwa vitabuni kuwa kuna kasoro katika Ofisi ya Bunge ambayo inasimamiwa na Spika,” alisema Cheyo.
Spika Sitta alipoulizwa kuhusu kauli hiyo ya Cheyo, alisema hahusiki kwa namna yoyote na uchukuaji wa masurufu, hivyo hapaswi kunyooshewa kidole iwapo imebainika kuwapo kwa kasoro zozote za matumuzi mabaya ya fedha za serikali katika ofisi yake.
Spika alisema taratibu ziko wazi kuwa wanaochukua masufuru kwa ajili yake ni wasaidizi wake wanaohusika kumuandalia safari zake zote, ndani na nje ya nchi.
“Mimi sihusiki kuchukua masurufu, wanaohusika ni wasaidizi wangu, sasa kama kuna kasoro, wao ndio wanajua. Nina ofisi yangu binafsi kama viongozi wengine wakuu wa kitaifa, sitembei na fedha mfukoni, wasaidizi wangu wa ofisi hiyo ndio wanaoniandalia safari na ziara zangu zote. Wao ndio wanaonilipia kila kitu, walinzi, maradhi, kila kitu, ndio wanaochukua fedha za masurufu kwa niaba yangu,” alisema Spika Sitta.
Alipoulizwa kuhusu madai kuwa alitumia fedha nyingi za Ofisi ya Bunge kugharamia vikao na tafrija zilizokuwa zikifanyikia nyumbani kwake wakati mkewe, Margaret Sitta, ambaye pia ni Waziri wa Maendeleo ya Jamii, Jinsia na Watoto, akiwania nafasi ya kuwa mjumbe wa Halmashauri Kuu ya Taifa ya CCM (NEC), alisema madai hayo inabidi yafafanuliwe.
“Ninachokijua mimi kuhusu hili, ni kweli kulikuwa na vitu vya aina hiyo wakati huo, lakini ninachokumbuka ni kwamba gharama nyingi za mikusanyiko hiyo nilikuwa ninatumia fedha zangu za mfukoni, nilikuwa nalipa mwenyewe. Lakini hili ili nilielewe vizuri, inabidi lifafanuliwe,” alisema.
Naye Katibu wa Bunge, Dk. Thomas Kashililah alipoulizwa kuhusu hali hiyo, alisema hawezi kuzungumza jambo hilo, kwa sababu alipoingia katika wadhifa huo alikuta hali hiyo imeshatokea.
Alibainisha kuwa ni kweli hakuhojiwa na Kamati ya PAC kwa sababu alikuwa hajaapishwa na rais, lakini kwa sasa kamati hiyo inaweza kuendelea na kazi zake kama kawaida, bila kupata kipingamizi kutoka kwa mtu yeyote.
“Mimi nilipoingia katika ofisi hii, hali hiyo niliikuta, hivyo siwezi kusema kitu, kwa sababu sikuwapo, siwezi kuizungumzia. Ninachoweza kukitolea maelezo ni kile ambacho kimefanyika wakati wa kipindi changu.
“Lakini suala la ripoti hiyo kukaliwa halipo, PAC ikitaka kukaa kuijadili hata kesho ni sawa tu, hakuna tatizo, waje wakae, wao wana ratiba zao za vikao, kuna ripoti nyingi tu hazijajadiliwa, hizi hazijakaliwa, naomba kwa sababu linahusu Ofisi ya Spika, isichukuliwe kuwa linazimwa,” alisema Dk. Kashililah.
Ripoti ya CAG, ambayo Tanzania Daima Jumatano imeiona, katika ukurasa wake wa 43, fungu la 42, inaitaja Ofisi ya Bunge katika orodha ya taasisi za serikali zilizopewa hati zenye shaka, kwa kukiuka taratibu za kihasibu.
Ripoti hiyo inabainisha kuwa Ofisi ya Bunge ilifanya malipo ya matibabu nje ya nchi ya zaidi ya sh milioni 101 bila kuidhinishwa na Wizara ya Afya na Ustawi wa Jamii, uhamisho wa fedha wa zaidi ya sh milioni 63 kutoka kifungu kimoja kwenda kingine bila kibali na malipo yenye thamani ya sh milioni 7.8 yalifanyika bila kibali.
Upungufu mwingine uliotajwa katika ripoti hiyo ni malipo yenye nyaraka pungufu ya sh milioni 526, malipo yasiyo halali ya sh milioni 102.5, malipo yenye shaka ya sh milioni 63.9, mishahara isiyolipwa na ambayo haikurejeshwa Hazina sh milioni 17.1, sh milioni 3.4 za mishahara ya watumishi walioachishwa kazi inayoendelea kulipwa kwenye akaunti zao benki na usuluhisho wa tofauti ya sh milioni 1.1 kati ya bakaa ya benki na bakaa inayoonyeshwa katika daftari la mapato na matumizi haukufanyika.
Marekebisho yasiyostahili yaliyojumuishwa kwenye hundi ambazo hazijawasilishwa benki ni sh milioni tano, masurufu maalumu ya sh milioni 50.2

WAZIRI wa Maliasili na Utalii Shamsa Mwangunga, amekiri kukithiri wizi wa nyara za serikali hasa pembe za ndovu na kueleza kuwa sio rahisi kudhibiti vitendo hivyo kwa kuwa vinafanywa na mtandao wa watu wenye fedha nyingi.
Mwangunga alisema hayo bungeni jana alipokuwa akihitimisha mjadala wa bajeti ya wizara yake mjini na kufafanua wizi wa makontena mawili ya pembe za ndovu yaliyokamatwa Machi, mwaka huu nchini Vietnam.
“Kukithiri kwa wizi huo kumetokana na Wizara ya Maliasili na Utalii kutohusishwa na ukaguzi wa mizigo bandarini na soko kubwa la nyara hizo liko katika nchi za Asia. Mtandao wa watu wenye fedha nyingi ndio unaendesha biashara hiyo kwa kushirikiana na maafisa wa bandari,” alisema Mwangunga.
“Ninasema maafisa wa bandari wanahusika kwa sababu bandarini ndiko kwenye lango la kupitisha nyara hizo na maafisa wake ni miongoni mwa watuhumiwa katika matukio hayo.”
Mwangunga alikuwa akijibu hoja ya mbunge wa Same Mashariki Anne Kilango Malecela ambaye juzi alitishia kutoa hoja binafsi kutaka iundwe Kamati teule ya Bunge kuchunguza wizi wa makontena hayo yaliyokamatwa Machi 25, mwaka huu nchini Vietnam.
Mbunge huyo alitaka kamati hiyo ichunguze jinsi makontena hayo yalivyopita kwenye bandari za hapa nchini baada ya kukaguliwa na mamlaka husika na kufika Vietnam bila kujulikana kuwa yalibeba pembe za ndovu.
"Mheshimiwa Spika, naomba nizungumzie kuhusu jambo ambalo kwa kweli limenisikitisha sana ndani ya Wizara ya Maliasili na Utalii ambao ni wizi wa nyara; wizi wa pembe za ndovu. Wizi huu Mheshimiwa Spika, unafanyika kama vile nchi yetu hakuna ulinzi," alilaumu Kilango na kuongeza:
"Nimefanya utafiti nina faili zima; Mheshimiwa Spika nilikwenda kufanya utafiti, baada ya kusoma kwenye magazeti kuhusu makontena mawili yaliyokamatwa Vietnam, nikaona nisiishie hapo niende ndani mpaka nipate faili zima.
"Nasikitika sana. Nilikwenda kuhoji; nikaelezwa; nikapewa na faili; nikasoma kontena zile mbili zilipitia bandari yetu kama kawaida".
Kilango aliomba atumie kanuni ya 117 ya Bunge kuwasilisha hoja binafsi kutaka iundwe kamati teule kwa ajili ya kuchunguza jambo hilo.
Hata hivyo, jana Spika wa Bunge Samuel Sitta ambaye juzi aliahidi kufanyia kazi suala hilo, alitupa hoja hiyo baada ya Kilango kushindwa kuwasilisha kusudio lake hilo kwa maandishi kwa wakati.
”Kulikuwa na hoja ya kuundwa kamati teule jana, lakini niseme kwamba, hoja hiyo sijaipata hapa kwa maandishi, nimwombe Katibu aendelee na shughuli za leo,” alisema Sitta muda mfupi kabla ya bunge kukaa kama kamati.
Kabla ya Sitta kusema hivyo, aliingia bungeni akikimbia akiwa ameshika bahasha ya kaki ambayo ilisemekana kuwa ilikuwa na hoja yake hiyo kimaandishi ambayo alitarajia kuiwasilisha.
”Naona kuna kitu kinataka kunifikia sijui kama ndio hiyo hoja, ah, lakini kwa mujibu wa kanuni za Bunge siwezi kuipokea hoja hiyo na kusema kweli itakuwa ndiyo basi, sitaipokea tena hivyo tunaendelea waheshimiwa,” alisema Sitta.
Akizungumza na gazeti hili katika viwanja vya Bunge jana, Kilango alisema alichelewesha kupeleka hoja yake baada ya awali kushauriwa na Spika kuwa suala hilo liachwe liendelee kushughulikiwa na Polisi wa Interpol chini ya makubaliano ya Lusaka (Lusaka Agreement).
”Mimi hoja nilishaandaa, lakini Spika alinishauri kuwa kwa vile suala hilo linashughulikiwa na Interpol, tuache kwanza.
Lakini hii haina maana kwamba, hoja imekufa. Nitaiibua tena wakati wowote baada ya interpol kumaliza kazi yake,” alisema.
Awali akizungumzia wizi huo Mwangunga alisema ulitokea Machi 25 mwaka huu na tayari watu tisa wamekamatwa na kuhojiwa.
”Kati yao, watu wanne wamefunguliwa kesi mahakamani mkoani Tanga,” alisema Mwangunga na kutaja majina ya watuhumiwa hao.
Alisema mbali na tukio hilo, kontena lingine lilikamatwa Machi Mosi, mwaka huu katika Bandari ya Manila Ufilipino ambako pembe za ndovu zenye uzito wa tani tano lilikamatwa.
Siku nne baadaye maafisa Forodha wa Vietnam walikamata kontena lingine namba ESU 1174 lililokuwa na tani 6.2 za pembe za ndovu.
Hata hivyo, Mwangunga alishindwa kusema pembe hizo za ndovu zilitoka wapi kama alivyotakiwa na Mbunge wa Kigoma Kaskazini Zitto Kabwe.
Kabwe alitaka waziri huyo aeleze endapo shehena hiyo ni ndovu wanaoendelea kuuawa au zimekwapuliwa kutoka kwenye ghala la serikali.
”Siwezi kusema kuwa zilitoka wapi kwani katika ghala za serikali hakuna wizi uliotokea na namna zilivyopangwa na kama ingechukuliwa hata moja ni rahisi sana kujua, hivyo inawezekana zilitoka katika maeneo yetu au hata nchi jirani waliamua kusafirisha kwa kupitia bandari zetu kutokana na udhaifu uliopo katika bandari za hapa nchini,” alisema Mwangunga.

Akizungumza na gazeti hili katika viwanja vya Bunge jana, Kilango alisema alichelewesha kupeleka hoja yake baada ya awali kushauriwa na Spika kuwa suala hilo liachwe liendelee kushughulikiwa na Polisi wa Interpol chini ya makubaliano ya Lusaka (Lusaka Agreement).
”Mimi hoja nilishaandaa, lakini Spika alinishauri kuwa kwa vile suala hilo linashughulikiwa na Interpol, tuache kwanza.
Lakini hii haina maana kwamba, hoja imekufa. Nitaiibua tena wakati wowote baada ya interpol kumaliza kazi yake,” alisema.
Awali akizungumzia wizi huo Mwangunga alisema ulitokea Machi 25 mwaka huu na tayari watu tisa wamekamatwa na kuhojiwa.

Kabwe alitaka waziri huyo aeleze endapo shehena hiyo ni ndovu wanaoendelea kuuawa au zimekwapuliwa kutoka kwenye ghala la serikali.
”Siwezi kusema kuwa zilitoka wapi kwani katika ghala za serikali hakuna wizi uliotokea na namna zilivyopangwa na kama ingechukuliwa hata moja ni rahisi sana kujua, hivyo inawezekana zilitoka katika maeneo yetu au hata nchi jirani waliamua kusafirisha kwa kupitia bandari zetu kutokana na udhaifu uliopo katika bandari za hapa nchini,” alisema Mwangunga.

Pamoja na sifa zake nyingi ikiwa ni pamoja na kuwa jiji la tatu kwa ukubwa (kwa idadi ya watu idadi ya watu,nyuma ya London na Birmingham) hapa UK,Glasgow,unabeba historia ya "Simba na Yanga" za Scotland,yaani klabu mbili za soka zenye upinzani wa kupindukia:Glasgow Rangers (almaaruf RANGERS) na Celtic.Tofauti na upinzani wa Simba na Yanga,au Manchester City na Manchester United,au kwingineko kwenye "mafahali wawili wanaopigania ubabe kwenye mji mmoja",upinzani kati ya Celtic na Rangers umevuka mipaka ya soka.Wakati Celtic ni,generally speaking,Wakatoliki,Rangers ni Waanglikana.Zamani hizi,ilikuwa jambo lisilowezekana kabisa kwa mchezaji Mkatoliki kusajiliwa na Rangers,au Muanglikana kusajiliwa na Celtic.
Sasa,moja ya tahadhari wanazopewa wageni katika jiji la Glasgow ni rangi za timu hizo mbili.Ukirogwa kuvaa "jezi" za Rangers kwenye maeneo ya wapenzi wa Celtic,au kutinga rangi za Celtic kwenye maeneo ya kujidai ya Rangers,tarajia yasiyotarajiwa.
In his first visit to Africa since taking office, Barack Obama said today that the continent of his ancestors must overcome tyranny and corruption if it is to flourish.
Speaking in Ghana's parliament, Obama said the key to Africa's future prosperity was democratic and accountable government.
"Development depends upon good governance. That is the ingredient which has been missing in far too many places, for far too long. That is the change that can unlock Africa's potential," he said.
In an tough speech aimed at politicians across the continent, he gave an unsentimental account of squandered opportunities since the end of colonial rule. "No country is going to create wealth if its leaders exploit the economy to enrich themselves, or police can be bought off by drug traffickers," he said.
"No business wants to invest in a place where the government skims 20% off the top ... No person wants to live in a society where the rule of law gives way to the rule of brutality and bribery. That is not democracy, that is tyranny, and now is the time for it to end.
"Africa doesn't need strongmen, it needs strong institutions."
Obama conceded that colonialism had left a legacy of conflicts and arbitrary borders. "But the west is not to blame for the destruction of the Zimbabwean economy over the last decade, or wars in which children are enlisted as combatants.
"Africa is not the crude caricature of a continent at war," he said. "But for far too many Africans conflict is a part of life, as constant as the sun. There are wars over land and wars over resources. And it is still far too easy for those without conscience to manipulate whole communities into fighting among faiths and tribes."
Earlier, after meeting Ghana's president, John Atta Mills, Obama praised the country's record of democracy and economic growth as a rare success in a continent beset by corruption and poor governance.
"We think that Ghana can be an extraordinary model for success throughout the continent."
This morning, Obama was given a hero's welcome in the country's capital, Accra. Thousands of people wearing Obama T-shirts thronged the streets, cheering and waving as his motorcade swept past.
Walls and utility poles were plastered with posters of Obama and Mills, as well as the word "change" – the mantra of Obama's presidential election campaign. Other posters showed the president and his wife, Michelle, with the greeting "Ghana loves you".
Obama and his family arrived late last night from the G8 summit in Italy, where the world's richest nations agreed on a $20bn (£12.4bn) food security plan to help poor nations feed themselves during the global recession.
Speaking in Italy before he left, Obama said: "There is no reason why Africa cannot be self-sufficient when it comes to food."
The Obamas will visit Gold Coast Castle, a former British slave trading post. Michelle Obama is a great-great granddaughter of slaves.
The visit comes as the US plans a much more assertive policy in Africa, using both diplomacy and the threat of force to end the protracted conflicts in Democratic Republic of the Congo and Nigeria, which are seen as two of the main obstacles to the continent's progress.
"This is both a special and an important visit for him personally as president, but also for our country to articulate a vision for Africa," said Robert Gibbs, the White House spokesman.
Despite the enthusiastic reception from ordinary Ghanians, no major public events have been planned during Obama's 21-hour visit, for fear it could cause a celebratory stampede, as almost happened during a 1998 stop by Bill Clinton.
