Mount Kilimanjaro is located in Northern Tanzania, it lies few degree below the equator line.
It is the highest mountain in African continent, the highest point is at Kibo peak which is 5,895 metres above sea level.
It is an amazing mountain because of its location along the tropic, and its peak is covered by snow through out the year. Everything is natural.

Man's Facial Image Seen in Ultrasound

A mystical image or sheer coincidence? Either way, that’s one sad ‘nad.
Doctors in Canada were scanning through ultrasound images of a 45-year-old man with a painful mass in his testicles when they did a doubletake. There was a man's face staring up at them, the mouth grimacing as if he were in agony.
"It looked like a man screaming in pain, which I thought was hilarious considering the clinical picture of the poor guy," Dr. G. Gregory Roberts, School of Medicine at Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario, told msnbc.com

Roberts and urologist Dr. Naji J. Touma reported their amazing discovery -- which ranks right up with the grilled cheese Madonna or pancake Jesus -- in a recent issue of the medical journal Urology.
In the article, "The Face of Testicular Pain: A Surprising Ultrasound Finding," the doctors revealed that, upon spotting the distinctive tumor, a "brief debate ensued on whether the image could have been a sign from a deity (perhaps "Min" the Egyptian god of male virility; however, the consensus deemed it a mere coincidental occurrence rather than a divine proclamation."

Rafiki na wafanyakazi wenzake Joseph - Ubalozi wa Marekani Mexico

Joseph Machele, Mtanzania ambaye anaishi Mexico city nchini Mexico, amepata tuzo ya heshima ya Franklin (Franklin Award) ambayo hutolewa kila mwaka kwa wananchi wa Marekani au wanaofanya kazi katika idara za serikali ya Marekani ambao mchango wao kwa Taifa la Marekani katika fani mbalimbali za kazi zao umepita kipimo na kuweza kusababisha ufanisi mkubwa wa kazi au kuleta faida kwa uchumi au hali ya usalama kwa Marekani. 

   
Joseph Machele ambaye ni Mtanzania anayefanya kazi katika ubalozi wa Marekani nchini Mexico, ameweza kupata tuzo hiyo kwa utumishi bora na kuwa mbunifu. Allipata siku ya tarehe 12 Oktoba 2011, baada ya kupewa na naibu balozi wa Marekani nchini Mexico Bw. John Feeley.
Kupitia kujituma kwake na maarifa yake binafsi, aliweza kuokoa zaidi ya dola za kimarekani 115,000 kwa mwaka mmoja ambazo zingetumika kulipia gharama za kusafirisha samani na vifaa vya kukodisha na vitu vingine vidogo vidogo kwa ajili ya makazi ya watumishi wageni wanaoenda kufanya kazi kwenye ubalozi wa Marekani nchini Mexico.  
 
Mbali ya Joseph Machele kupata tuzo ya heshima, pia alijipatia kitita cha dola kama zawadi yake katika juhudi zake binafsi akiwa kazini. Alifanikiwa kuokoa kiasi hicho cha fedha kwa kuwashawishi wanaokodisha vifaa hivyo kutoa usafiri wa bure kusafirisha vifaa hivyo, jambo ambalo maafisa wa ubalozi wa Marekani walikuwa wanadhani ni kitu kisichowezekana kabisa. 
  
Hongera sana mdogo wangu Joseph kwa juhudi zako binafsi. Nakufahamu sana tangu kwenye ujana wako, ni mtu ambaye upo makini sana katika kazi zako. Usiishie hapo tu, bali ongeza bidii zaidi kwani mafanikio yako ni sifa kubwa kwetu sote tunaoishi Bara pevu na lenye utajiri mkubwa.

Uhuru Revolution or Evolution?

Utani mwingine.......

President Paul Kagame Admires The Late Julius Nyerere

Maria Nyerere on behalf of her late husband, receive a National prestigious Medal awarded to the Late Nyerere for his contribution on human rights fights by President Kagame in Kigali, Rwanda

I have been wondering all this time since I came to Rwanda about His excellency President Kagame the way he leads Rwanda....

Being born and grew up in Tanzania during Nyerere's Presidential time, I had no doubts that Rwandan President was taking good ideology of Mwalimu Julius Nyerere (The Father Of Nation), not in all aspects, but at least things which are applicable in Rwanda.

I have been observing Kagame's leadership and legacy, terms of services, communal develeopment, health status and services, country economy ownership, fights against public fund misuse, control of environment, nature and wild life, military training and discipline, living in harmony and peace, guided daily living life, control of chaotic news and National food and social security in general.

Eventually, I discover this truth....
In the interactive session President Kagame spoke of his admiration for the late Julius Nyerere



“I had a chance during my adult life to meet with the former President of Tanzania, the late Mwalimu Julius Nyerere. I was impressed by the way he was full of character and presence – he was the kind of person who never shied away from saying and doing what he believed was good for his people”.





On what he looked for in leaders, President Kagame said that a good leader should be able to integrate different ideas and know how to mobilise suitable players capable of delivering and contributing to the success of the system
