·    MKUU wa Mkoa wa Dodoma Luteni Msataafu CHIKU GALAWA amewataka watumishi wa Halmashauri zote za mkoani Dodoma kuhama katika utendaji wa kimazoea wanapokuwa maofisini badala yake wafanye kazi kwa vitendo vinatakavyowanufaisha wananchi katika suala linalogusa maendeleo.

Agizo hilo amelitoa baada ya kusikiliza na kupokea taarifa ya Wilaya iliyosomwa na Mkuu wa wilaya hiyo mheshimiwa BETTY MKWASA  baada ya Mkuu huyo wa mkoa kwenda kujitambulisha kwa kukutana na wakuu wa idara wa Halmashauri hiyo.

Amesema  watendaji wengi ndani ya halmashauri  walio wengi hawana ubunifu badala yake wanafanya kazi kwa mazoea utendaji ambao hivi sasa umepitwa na wakati.

Amesema wakati ni wao  sasa wa kubadilika katika kufanya kazi zao kwa kuwa wanatakiwa  kuhama kule walikozoea  ambako hakuna maendeleo yanayoweza kubadilika kwa mwananchi na kuweza kuifurahia serikali.

Awali mkuu wa wilaya ya bahi mheshimiwa MKWASA  akisoma taarifa kwa mkuu huyo wa mkoa amesema  kuwa katika wilaya yake pamoja na changamoto zilizopo pia wamefanikiwa kujiinua kimapato ikiwemo ya ufugaji na kilimo.

Amesema  kwa mwaka wa fedha 2013/20 14 katika Halmashauri hiyo ilikisia kukusanya jumla ya shilingi milioni 725.8 kama mapato yake ya ndani ambapo hadikufikia juni mwaka 2014 ilifanikiwa kukusanya shilingi milioni 504.4  sawa na aslimia 69 ya lengo.

Pamoja  na makisio hayo wilaya pia imefanikisha kufikia malengo yake katika sekta mbalimbali ikiwemo elimu ya awali,msingi na sekondari ikiwemo ujenzi wa maabara ambapo vyumba 5 vimekamilika kati ya shule 28 zinazohitajika kujengwa vyumba hivyo.

BUNGE LANG'ANG'ANIA MJADALA WA ESCROW

SPIKA  wa Bunge la Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania Anne Makinda amesema mjadala ndani ya Bunge kuhusu sakata la akaunti ya Escrow upo pale pale na hakuna mhimili mwingine wowote unaoweza kulizuia Bunge kufanya hivyo.

Spika ametoa muongozo huo baada ya kuombwa na Mbunge wa Bariadi Mashariki John Cheyo (UDP) mara baada ya kumalizika kwa kipindi cha maswali na majibu.

Katika muongozo wake kwa mujibu wa kanuni ya 68(7) Cheyo amesema kuna taarifa kuwa sula hilo la Escrow ambalo Bunge linatakakujadili leo limepelekwa Mahakamani ili kuzuia Bunge kuendelea kujadili suala hilo.

Akitoa muongozo wake Spika amewataka wabunge kuacha kuishi kwa wasiwasi kwa kuwaeleza kuwa hakuna mtu anayeweza kulikataza bunge kufanya kazi yake. Spika Makinda  amesema hapo awali waliambiwa kuwa kuna kesi nyingi mahakamani ambazo zinahusiana na suala hilo la akaunti ya Escrow.

Amesema hata hivyo baada ya kufuatilia kesi hizo zote hakuna kesi mahususi inayohusu jambo ambalo Bunge linaenda kujadiliana juu ya sakata hilo la Escrow.

Spika Makinda amesema Bunge lina sheria zake za kinga na kama kutakuwa na muhimili mwingine ambao unakuwa na uwezo wa kuzuia bunge kufanya kazi yake basi hakutakuwa na Bunge.’

Hata hivyo Spika amesema mpaka leo asubuhi alikuwa bado hajapata taarifa kutoka kwa Mwenyekiti wa PAC Zitto Kabwe kama wamekamlisha kazi yao kwani kikanuni ni lazima wakikamilisha kazi hiyo hutakiwa kumtaarifu Spika kwa barua ili naye aingize katika shughuli za Bunge. 

Aidha Makinda amesema pamoja na kuendelea na mjadala huo pia wabunge leo watapewa taarifa ya Mdhibiti na Mkaguzi Mkuu wa Hesabu za Serikali (CAG) kwa majina.

Spika amesema nia ya kugawa taarifa hiyo ya CAG kwa majina ni kuepukana na taarifa hizo kuwafikia watu wengine ambao si wabunge.

FAHAMU MADHARA YA UVAAJI VIATU VIREFU KWA WANAWAKE

NI wazi kuwa viatu virefu huvutia sana vinapo kuwa vimevaliwa.Tulio wengi hasa mabinti au wanawake tunaokwenda na wakati hupenda kuvaa viatu virefu ilikuongeza muonekano wa umbile lako nikiwa na maana kuwa miguu huonekana yenye kuvutia zaidi unapo kuwa umevaa viatu virefu.

Kutokana na utafiti wa kitaalamu, mwanamke ana uwezo wa kutembea wastani wa hatua 10,000 kwa siku.Visigino virefu hufanya nguvu inayotumika kutembea hatua moja kuwa kubwa kuliko kawaida, huku vikikunyima raha ya kutembea kwa uhuru kiasi kwamba wengine hufikia hatua ya kuvua na kutembea peku. 

 Leo hii napenda kukujuza madhara ya uvaaji wa wa viatu virefu.Kwa kawaida, miguu ya binadamu hasa visigino, vimeumbwa ili kuuzuia uzito wa mwili juu ya ardhi.Uvaaji wa viatu virefu hufanya uzito wa mwili kubebwa na kisigino, hivyo uzito wa mwili kushindwa kuhimili uzito wote.

Matokeo yake husababisha misuli na mishipa ya miguu, kiuno, mgongo na shingo kufanya kazi kubwa ya kujaribu kusawazisha uzito.Kazi ambayo kwa kawaida hufanywa na visigino.Tatizo hilo hupelekea kiuno,Miguu na mgongo kuwa katika hatari ya matatizo ya kiafya pamoja na kuteguka na kuvunjika miguu. 

 Visigino virefu hubadili muundo wa mifupa ya miguu, hivyo hupelekea magoti na misuli ya mapaja kufanya kazi ya ziada ili kuupa mwili usawa.Kwa kuwa misuli inafanya kazi kubwa, uwezekano wa kupatwa na maumivu makali ya miguu na kushindwa kutembea katika siku za baadae huwa mkubwa zaidi. Visigino virefu husababisha maumivu ya visigino, damu kuvilia ndani ya miguu, mpangilio wa mifupa ya vidole kuvurugika, mishipa na misuli ya mapaja kuuma, neva za fahamu kufungana na kushindwa kufanya kazi yake. 

Tatizo huendelea kwa vifundo vya miguu, magoti, na mifupa ya kwenye mapaja kushindwa kujivuta na kulegea na hivyo kusuguana wakati wa kutembea. 

Jambo la kuzingatia kwa wale wanaopenda kuvaa viatu virefu,ni vema kama unapenda kuvaa viatu virefu hakikisha hutembei umbali mrefu kama una usafiri sio mbaya ukivaa viatu virefu,na kwa wale wanao kwenda ofisini jitahidi kuwa na viatu flati ndani ya mkoba wako ili unapokuwa umechoka unavua na kuvaa viatu vyako pia ukiwa ofisini waweza kuvua viatu virefu.

Mpenzi msomaji kama huwezi kutembelea viatu virefu nivema ukipitwa na wakati kuliko kujiabisha barabarani na kuonekana rimbukeni ikiwa wewe ni mjamzito epuka uvaaji wa viatu virefu.Usikose kujumuika nami katika safu hii ya urembo na mitindo.

FAHAMU VIUMBE WENYE UMRI MREFU ZAIDI DUNIANI

Wisdom, the oldest known wild bird, has yet another feather in her cap—a new chick.

The Laysan albatross (Phoebastria immutabilis)—62 years old at least—recently hatched a healthy baby in the U.S. Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge, her sixth in a row and possibly the 35th of her lifetime, according to the U.S. Geological Survey's (USGS) North American Bird Banding Program. (Related: "51-Year-Old Albatross Breaks N. American Age Record [2003].")

But Wisdom's longevity would be unknown if it weren't for a longtime bird-banding project founded by USGS research wildlife biologist Chandler Robbins.

Now 94, Robbins was the first scientist to band Wisdom in 1956, who at the time was "just another nesting bird," he said. Over the next ten years, Robbins banded tens of thousands of black-footed albatrosses (Phoebastria nigripes) and Laysan albatrosses as part of a project to study the behavior of the large seabirds, which at the time were colliding with U.S. Navy aircraft.

Robbins didn't return to the tiny Pacific island—now part of the U.S. Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument—until 2002, when he "recaptured as many birds as I could in hopes that some of them would be the old-timers."

Indeed, Robbins did recapture Wisdom—but he didn't know it until he got back to his office at the Patuxent Wildlife Research Center in Laurel, Maryland, and checked her band number in the database.

"That was real exciting, because we didn't think the chances of finding one that old would be that good," Robbins said Wednesday in an interview from his office at the Patuxent center, where he still works.

Britain's oldest pet dies as tortoise that survived two world wars passes away aged 130 after being bitten on the leg by a rat

• Thomas, born in 1882, bitten on leg by rat and wound became infected
• Tortoise outlived five monarchs and survived both World Wars
• Survived Blitz attack and was pulled from rubble of bomb-hit house in Esse

He survived the Blitz, five monarchs and both World Wars.

But Thomas, who was Britain's oldest resident, has died aged 130 - after being bitten by a rat.

He was born in 1882 and was pulled out of the rubble of a bomb-hit house in Essex in 1945.

The reptile had to be put down by owner June Le Gallez after being attacked by a rat in the back garden of her home in Guernsey.

Tearful June said: 'We are all very upset as you can imagine, Thomas was like a member of the family.
'He was put down after he was bitten on the leg by a rogue rat in the garden and the wound become so inflamed that it started pushing into his shell.

"George The Giant Lobster," 140 Years Old, Liberated From Restaurant (SLIDESHOW)

A giant lobster named George escaped a dinner-table fate and was released Saturday into the Atlantic Ocean after a New York seafood restaurant granted him his freedom, according to a statement from the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.

The lobster, which PETA said was 140 years old and weighed 20 pounds, had been confined to a tank at City Crab and Seafood restaurant in Manhattan when two customers alerted the animal group.

 The PETA statement did not say how the extraordinary age estimate was determined, but restaurant manager Keith Valenti told CNN that lobsters can grow a pound every seven to 10 years, and he put George's weight at 18 to 20 pounds.

MUONGOZA SINEMA HOLLYWOOD MIKE NICHOLS AFARIKI

Hollywood director Mike Nichols, who won an Oscar for The Graduate, has died aged 83. Nichols died on Wednesday evening. His death was announced in a statement by ABC News President James Goldston. During a career that spanned almost six decades, Nichols directed classics such as The Odd Couple, Working Girl and Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf? He also worked in TV and theatre and was one of a few people to have won an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar and a Tony.

"He was a true visionary,” Mr Goldston said in the statement. "No one was more passionate about his craft than Mike." Nichols was a versatile talent with a remarkable gift for mixing humour and drama. 

He said he liked stories about the real lives of real people and that humour inevitably pervades even the bleakest of such tales. "I have never understood people dividing things into dramas and comedies," Nichols once said. "There are more laughs in 'Hamlet' than many Broadway comedies." In Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf? - his directorial debut in 1966 - he captured the vicious yet sparkling dialogue of Edward Albee's play as a couple played by Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor torment each other. 

A year later, The Graduate - the story of an earnest young man rebelling against his elders' expectations - shot Dustin Hoffman to fame and went on to become a symbol of an era and a classic of American cinema. Nichols said decades later that he was "just trying to make a nice little movie" and that "it wasn't until when I saw it all put together that I realised this was something remarkable". 

Nichols, who was married to ABC's Diane Sawyer, was a nine-time Tony Award winner on Broadway. His work in television included Angels In America, an award-winning HBO miniseries about AIDS. Nichols often collaborated with Jack Nicholson, Meryl Streep and Emma Thompson. Born Michael Igor Peschkowsky in Berlin, Nichols fled Nazi Germany for America at age seven with his family. 

He attended the University of Chicago but left to study acting in New York, and began his career in a ground-breaking comedy duo with Elaine May. Divorced three times, Nichols married Sawyer in 1988. Recent works include Closer, starring Jude Law and Julia Roberts, and Charlie Wilson's War, featuring Roberts, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Tom Hanks.
