Threat of Climate change
Global warming is the enemy
Who is our Superman if not our acts?

The world is not bad
But the people within
Mother Nature cries
We destroyed Ozone
We are now burning
Many indigenous creatures
Where is that snow
KILImanjaro is losing its cap
The ice melts away, no skating
Where will bears and others live?
The heat is too much gives even cancer
It is time to take control of our beautiful world.


(Swahili Version)

Mabadiliko ya hali ya hewa adui
Nani baunsa wetu kama si vitendo

Dunia siyo mbaya bali wabinadamu
Tumeharibu mizani tumebakisha kiu
wanyama kama bear kuangamia bila barafu
Kupoteza viumbe vya thamani
Kuunguzwa na jua bila kujijua
Barafu teketea Kupoteza hata pa kuskatia
Uliza Kilimanjaro kofia yake anaipotezea wapi
Joto limezisi, watu kupata kansa bila kutegemea
Mda umefika kuchukua jukumu la kuhifadhi Dunia

A Christmas candle is a lovely thing;
It makes no noise at all,
But softly gives itself away;
While quite unselfish, it grows small. - Eva K. Logue

 A Christmas gambol oft could cheer
The poor man's heart through half the year. - Walter Scott

A Christmas shopper's complaint is one of long-standing.

And the angel said unto them, "Fear not! For, behold, I bring you tidings of great joy, Which shall be to all people. "For unto you is born this day in the city of David A Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you: Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, Lying in a manger. - St. Luke 10-12

Friend

Kimya chako nakiwaza,Najua umekumbatwa.

Nabaki najiuliza, Jinsi nnavyo fukutwa.

Ni lipi lakutatiza, Au wataka fuatwa.

Hali yako nauliza, Wajua sitaki pitwa

Wanionyesha simanzi,Kila nikifikiria

Wangu rafiki kipenzi,Kimya amejikalia

Hebu nifungue tenzi,Nakuwaza nasinzia

Rafiki hujambo kipenzi,Au kuna kitu chasumbua 

Reply:

Siwezisema nimebwana, ila maisha kama fukuto.

Kwenda mawio mpaka macheo, mvua, baridi, joto.

Kila siku twazipigania, ahadi moyoni kukamilisha.

Hamna kinachosumbua, nashukuru kwa hali nitakia

Mitihani, kazi, famalia, rafiki ni sehemu yetu mwili

Vyote kuvipigania, kugawa wakati hupatia upendeleo.

Kipaombele cha kila mtu hujua mwenyewe, lipi lianze

Yote na umuhimu wake, tunaomba mola atupe uzima.

Friend

Zimepowa zangu nyoyo,Kauli yako kusikia.

Yamenishia mayoyo,Baridi sasa nasikia

Umefurahika moyo, Kwavile kunandikia.

Pole kwa yakusibuyo,Mungu atakutangulia

A DREAM

On my dreams pretending he is beside me

All alone in the night I walk with him till morning

Without him, I feel his arms around me and....

When I close my eyes and I open up, he has found me

But incidentally I wake up it was just a dream……..

In my dream the land is shining like gold

In my rain the pavement aluminates like silver

In the darkness the green trees are full of star light

And all I see is him and me forever and forever……..

I love him, I want him, and I miss him, but Own my dreamz

Let's take a look to what many Doctors say, and take them in to considerations to our daily lives. Out of Energy?

Article by By Denise Schipani

THINGS THAT ZAP YOUR VITALITY AND HOW TO GET IT BACK

 It's 3 p.m.--do you know where your energy's gone? You probably expect to feel that late-afternoon drag, but you don't always have to. Turns out, some of your regular habits may be sneakily zapping your zip. Fix some or all of these energy stealers, and you just may be feeling brighter this afternoon. Energy Zapper #1: Being Addicted to E-mail Isn't being wired to the hilt--e-mail, voice mail, IM, BlackBerry--supposed to boost productivity, freeing up your energy? More often, the opposite is true. If you continually halt what you're doing to answer e-mail, check voice mail, and attend to a thousand other beeps and blips, your attention becomes diluted, which leaves you feeling depleted.

Energy Fix

Switch off electronic gadgets during your most productive work hours, which for most people tend to be in the morning, says Laura Stack, author of The Exhaustion Cure Other energy fix are sunlight, arrangement of the room, fresh air, to spread the habit of eating through out the day preventing eating heavy meal at once and also drinking of water or liquids helps.

GREEN- KIJANI

Mama nature huvalia kijani

St Patrick watu kuvalia kijani Misitu,

vichaka imevalia kijani

Kijani ni rangi ya thwawabu, yasimamia kote mandhari

Viumbe tumeumbwa vyote vya ajabu

Jani kijani twapata yanapokuwachanu,

Maliasili za kumwaga wenyewe twaziaribu.

Kijani rangi ya thwawabu, yasimamia kote mandhari

{English Version}

Mother nature wears green

St Patrick people are in green

Forest, shrubs are in green

Green is the color that worth surroundings

All creatures are created so amazingly

A leafe greenlized the earth when it's spring

Natural resources are plenty but we destroy mostly.

Green is the color that worth surroundings

Instrument that can remove a snake from it's hole(serpentarium)

It has been one of my favorite to learn how to play since when i was a kid. All my life I wished to learn piano and now when I started learning how to play piano, I feel so happy that God heard my dreams of learning piano. Thus i feel owe to learn how to, so that one day I can be teaching other people who have the same dream as mine of knowing how to play piano for free as long as my time allows. For now I do recommend this teacher of mine, who has gave me much strength and encouragement to feel that even Piano, hard instrument to learn can be simple in no time. She is a private tutor and she does teach in low price per hour, so if any concerns of piano contact her cellphone 1-347 637 0072. Please give a try to this amazing lesson and one day you can fulfill your dreams.

Surroundings and time seems to be the key to all the effects of individuals tends of changes although there are many to list.

 I do believe there are many reasons for people to change. First,  I most believe is the time and environmental changes. Second, peer pressure thrid religious believes and traditions/ cultures fourth, being indifferent for popularity, and  fifth is a need for change from an individual.

Some of the statements given by different live people are as follows:

Krysta Omeir suggested that ''Tragedies make people change. Whenever something goes wrong thus people wake up and come realization which can be considered late response.''

Sheriff Phaty, '' Attitude, influence+ peers are the three fundamental element of change that might affect the behavious idology or ways of an individual.''

Evelyne Asimwe, believe that the surrounding or environment is the reaso for all changes even with people.

Glen Shangai support that point of ''changes in environment can be the point of all life changes including change of character on both good and bad sides.''

{Thank You}

           DEARGOD: I want to thank You for what you have already done. I am not going to wait until I see results or receive rewards; I will keep on thanking you because there is more from you than what we see in our human eyes. Because of that, u will keep on being ''the only one in my life.''

A letter to dad

Baba yangu,

Wewe ni nguzo maishani mwangu,

Nitaimulika mbele yako,

Daima milele, baba yangu. (Song edited version by lulu from Banana Zoro)

This journal is dedicated to my dad who today, September 28^th 2009 has reached half a century years.

I am not going to be sarcastic about him, but I am going to say all that I have learned from him. He is such a modest man goes along with his really name Modest Jonathan, Mero. But most importantly he is dedicated man to all who surrounds him including young and old.

I am always thankful to God for the gift of parents, and I will always be. I will never leave any opportunity of being with him and learn from him since I believe through him I will grow in the right ways as God says, parents are our secret God’s.  So far I am who I am because of his total love and dedication to my life.

Despite misunderstandings of here and there, we are always getting along afterwards. I know myself that I sometimes, I like getting rebellious to my parents especially what we call ‘‘children freedom’’, but this never stop him from correcting me or even my siblings.

There is more about this man, but today I want him to know this and to know that no-matter what I do, I still love him.

Have you ever have a day so rough or in such a way was really not the way you planned or even one can say a bad day? 

Still doing a research and still looking for an answer, but in one way or another people do experience this condition in their daily life which lead them to thoughts, discouragement and even sometimes crying.

Based on my point of view I do encourage people to do their best in handling their depression because is part of life, and no one in the world is perfect not to face any kind of obstacles even with the guarantee of wealth and resources.

So far I learnt different ways which people can use to relieve their depression on of it which my mom recommend and she uses a lot is by letting out all those discouraging or argumentative point from the heart and out by speaking. Another way which I personally prefer to use a lot is by walking outside especial along water bodies. I sometimes believe telling someone else who I trust is much better and it makes it easier to get advice or even get another person point of view than being myself and dealing it all by myself as if the world is getting to an end. Anyways when it is real had for me to deal with my depression I always end up crying.lol! I might sound hilarious but I believe by crying out something it actual make people feel better and so far am talking about my own experience. For some depressed people who are religious having a prayer for them is a solution and it mostly works better.

I will not conclude these but I will also want to hear some comments, advice, because I really wish to learn much about how to control depression and since depression is a ‘‘serious diseases’’ if I can say that. Then I will like to know and even get more information on this, because I always wonder why some people end up giving up in life, having attitudes towards work or others or even some reach to the point of killing themselves?

Rangi hii nyekundu,

Ni rangi ya ajabu,

Hunivutia siku zote,

Ing'aravyo ndani nje,

N'rangi ya kipekee.

Hupendeza rinda ilo nyekundu,

Na wakike huipenda midomoni,

Rangi ya tahadhari na hatari,

Ishara ya nguvu au pia maovu.

Zaidi ya yote, ni rangi ya ngeu,

Rangi ya uzima uliondani yetu,

Nyekundu huwa ishara ya Penzi,

kama lilivo ua nyekundu la waridi,

Huashiria mapenzi kote Duniani.

This Red color,

Such an amazing hue,

It always attracts me,

shines inside or outside,

Its such a special hue.

Red dresses are lovely,

Girls love the color on their lips,

The color of danger and alertness,

A sign of power and Evil at times.

Above all, It’s the color of blood,

The color of life flowing within,

The sign of Love, Of hearts and 'Red' roses,

A sign of love all over the world.

Some of my Tanzanians who are in USA, might remember that Korean girl who was doing massage and some brain consultation (my sister). She is dealing with this NGO of Brain education and they have a big branch in New York near the UN, giving people different Brain lessons including yogas and massage.http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cyworld.com%2Flimnew&h=bd82d6fe86e0a37253c4c0cbd2bb2bc1

I am real proud of her effort, and I believe that brain education is one of the most important thing to deal with and try to learn through.

  The following is as it how it was presented in the UN, meeting by Mr, Modest Mero in the big meeting of Brain education for children.

Distinguished participants,

The future of all humanity depends on how well we use our brains. The brain is the greatest asset of mankind. Appropriate use of our brain to pursue health, happiness, and peace, the lives we and our offspring experience on Earth will become much more meaningful and enjoyable. United Nations needs to increase the awareness of the BRAIN as humanity’s greatest asset.    Second, Education in Africa,  should help people to have a better life by finding their true value as a human being.

I now wish to underscore the fact that children are the future of this planet.  You will agree with me that human development was initiated at the time of creation and supported by the upbringing of children at the family level.  The upbringing at the family level takes on board values and mores according to social cultural setting of the individual family and its origin.  Beyond the family level, we have institutions known as pre schools, advanced schools and centers of excellence, otherwise known as colleges and beyond that research centers.

It is a common knowledge that upbringing of children also need appropriate feeding, coaching and mentoring.  Training at family level has been responsible for developing character.   However, the education of children needs to fully be harnessed by focusing on their multiple training needs.  There is physical training, academic training and most important their brain education that can harness their potentials.   All this constitute a foundation of development at all levels.

Favorite quote: ''Do unto other as you would have them unto you'' Yu jung

By SHIRLEY S. WANG

If you're one of those people whom mosquitoes tend to favor, maybe it's because you aren't sufficiently stressed-out.

Insects have very keen powers of smell that direct them to their targets. But for researchers trying to figure out what attracts or repels the pests, sorting through the 300 to 400 distinct chemical odors that the human body produces has proved daunting.

Michael C. Witte

Now scientists at Rothamsted Research in the U.K. have been making headway at understanding why some people can end up with dozens of bites after a backyard barbecue, while others remain unscathed. The researchers have identified a handful of the body's chemical odors—some of which may be related to stress—that are present in significantly larger concentrations in people that the bugs are happier to leave alone. If efforts to synthesize these particular chemicals are successful, the result could be an all-natural mosquito repellent that is more effective and safer than products currently available.

"Mosquitoes fly through an aerial soup of chemicals, but can home in on those that draw them to humans," says James Logan, a researcher at Rothamsted, one of the world's oldest agricultural-research institutions. But when the combination of human odors is wrong, he says, "the mosquito fails to recognize this signal as a potential blood meal."

The phenomenon that some people are more prone to mosquito bites than others is well documented. In the 1990s, chemist Ulrich Bernier, now at the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Research Service, began looking for what he calls the "magic compounds" that attract mosquitoes. His research helped to show that mosquitoes are attracted to humans by blends of common chemicals such as carbon dioxide, released from the skin and by exhaling, and lactic acid, which is present on the skin, especially when we exercise. But none of the known attractant chemicals explained why mosquitoes preferred some people to others.

Rothamsted's Dr. Logan says the answer isn't to be found in attractant chemicals. He and colleagues observed that everyone produces chemicals that mosquitoes like, but those who are unattractive to mosquitoes produce more of certain chemicals that repel them.

Misguided Mosquitoes

"The repellents were what made the difference," says Dr. Logan, who is interested in the study of how animals communicate using smell. These chemicals may cloud or mask the attractive chemicals, or may disable mosquitoes from being able to detect those attractive odors, he suggests.

Currently the most effective repellents on the market often contain a chemical known as DEET, which has been associated in some studies with potential safety concerns, such as cancer and Gulf War syndrome. It also damages materials made of plastic. The federal Environmental Protection Agency has determined that DEET, when used as directed, is safe.

Dr. Logan and his team have found only a small number of body chemicals—seven or eight—that were present in significantly different quantities between those people who were attractive to mosquitoes and those who weren't. They then put their findings to the test

ECONOMIC DIPLOMACY – A CONTEMPORARY FOREIGN POLICY FOR TANZANIA By: M. J. Mero, B.Sc. (Hons), M.Sc. (Finance) mjmero@yahoo.co.uk A DISCUSSION PAPER 9th May 2006

 1.0 What is Economic Diplomacy? It is not easy to define economic diplomacy. The subject of economic diplomacy is wide and cannot be adequately defined. However, for the purpose of this paper, it can be stated that: “Economic Diplomacy is a phenomenon by which countries project themselves in advancing their economic interests for the security and betterment of the welfare of their state” Tanzania new foreign policy was inaugurated in year 2004. Before 2001 Foreign Policy was operated under Presidential Circular No 2 of 1964. This policy among others emphasizes on economic diplomacy as one of the pillars of foreign policy orientation. This presentation intends to provide an understanding of a phenomenon of economic diplomacy. To understand economic diplomacy, it is important to stage scenarios that would constitute national actions and operating environment that explain the phenomenon. It is important to gain an understanding of how Tanzania interacts with the world in economic and business frontier. It would be equally important to understand why local policies are predicated by the international environment. 1.1 Source of external finance and donor relationship: Tanzania is a least developing country that depends on other countries and international financial institutions to bridge her budget and development programmes. Surely dependency to others is a sign of economic weakness but globally countries extend financial assistance to each other in order to advance their cooperation. International monetary institutions too have been created to finance countries when they are in financial distress. Normally these are give and take situations whereby in return a country borrowing or receiving a grant would eventually pay more. It should be noted that loans are act of buying resources in return a country pay interest to the benefactor as a business transaction. The cost of loan is dependent on the capacity for negotiation on the interest and respective concessions. On the other hand grants are long term good will which will eventually culminate into requests for counter offer at a later stage. Countries providing grants are normally eying for concession on their requests in future as such, grants are a first stage for building goodwill. Looking at the phenomenon of economic diplomacy, a country should strive to reduce dependence and eventually eradicate, be cost effective in borrowing and be able to negotiate better terms for such financial and technical assistance. In implementing economic diplomacy, Tanzania should emphasize on measures that promote growth in “real economy” and exports in order to transform Tanzania into a developed country. In the same vein, Tanzania should also strengthen capacity for negotiations on financial and technical assistance both at the respective missions and home. At local level effective utilization of loans and grants should be advocated in order to realize the “value” in real terms. It is important that loans and grants transmit vivid economic value that can be manifested in the country’s transformation. 1.2 The case of trade and economic diplomacy: If you are a farmer cultivating farm products of any nature you may need to sell your products beyond the boarders and in exchange, you would like to purchase agriculture inputs and technology for effective production.

Life as water drop

I wonder with the sky as a little drop which drops from it.
I wonder when, where and how, i was formed to come down as a drop.
I wonder if one day life could be simple more than the drops which comes; While  in the cycle  on and don' t know where I am going to flow or land. In the water body I was born by the sun which make me evaporate up and above. On the sky I wonder,  where is so cold I freeze to the point of  no return by precipitation process I come back down as a drop. 

Everytime new and new clouds form new drops. Each drop by drop from the sky form what is called water body, but where can i drop my self since i have no way out of this land am going to drop on.
I will still be dropping down but i believe that there is somewhere where i do belong. The origin of me, where i should flow to gather what i left  or where I could form a Lake, or river or even Ocen. This is me the water drop from the sky the sky I wonder and to the land i drop.

Where is my destiny, and if is to flow Am i that water that is essential in life.

THE SUN

His golden light has exciting touch
Chasing away the darkness by it light
He is everywhere spread the day and night
True friend to me this is amazing!

The balance he is head of colleagues in the universe
Providing light and good energy to all who revolve around
Not selfish especial to those who trust in the commitment to him.
True friend to me this is amazing!

In a summer day, when I leave to go beach

He accompanies me, staying on my side all day
Giving me the temperature which turns me tan.
True friend to me this is amazing.

Touch me, its energy and vitamins.
His smile makes me to seek a swimming place.
His eyes I endured without Safety, sunglasses
True friend to me this is amazing.

Miale yake inponigusa husisimua
Hungara kupita mfano na giza kuitimua
Kila mahala huenea mchana na usiku
Kweli rafiki yangu huyu ni waajabu

Kwenye mizani yeye ndiye mkuu wa wenzake
Huwagawia mwanga na nishati bora wamzunguke
Si mchoyo kwa wanaomtegemea kwa kujitoa kwake.
Kweli rafiki yangu huyu ni waajabu

Nitokapo kwenda ufukweni,
Siku nzima yeye huongozana nami
Hunipa joto la uhakika linalonibadili hata rangi.
Kweli rafiki yangu huyu ni waajabu.

Mguso wake hunipatia nishati na vitamini.
Anichekeapo hubidi nitafute pakuogelea majini
Nimwangaliapo machoni simstahimili bila miwani.
Kweli rafiki yangu huyu ni waajabu.

Mindsets are an important part of our life and personality, but one can change them anyway. By knowing about the two mindset one can start thinking and reacting in a new way.

When i was a young woman, I wanted a prince-like mate. Very handsome, very successful and humble. A big cheese. I wanted  a glamorous career, but nothing too hard or risky. And i wanted it all to come to me as validation of who I was.

There are different ways people can find themselves having born to mindset. When you enter a mindset, you enter a new world. In one world the world of fixed traits, success is about proving your smart or talented.

Failure is about having a setback while developing youself is about stretching yourself to learn something new since we are in the world of changing qualitities and validating oneself.

Parents, parents, parents!!!!!!!!!

There is nobody in comparison to parents.

They gave birth to us and raise us.

Parents always give us what is essential to us

Yet not everything we ask is give to us.

Reaching our dreams and always being in our sides

When in bad condition of either health or emotions,

Parents find any way to solve the problems.

Is not the matter of poor or rich parents?

It is parents whose love cost life.

They don’t let us go alone but support us.

They are with us in all life time as it allows.

Parents act like our second God when it comes,

To real life situations on earth with no conditions.

One secret about life experience with parents;

They never want to see their children passing through the same hard or wrong way they passed through.

And even though sometimes children argue with parents trying to preserve their personal freedom and tend to forget that parents only do all of that with love.

Hence children to parents are like like investment which given from heaven while parents to children are like Second God, who got the power to raise children by God. Therefore let’s respect and keep the love and peace to grow in families.

Have u ever think why was i born or created whichever way? And even if u did, did u ever come up with an answer.

In your daily life when you wake up, or when you do activities do you have a reason of doing them or sometimes you do them becouse it is a tendence and it became fixed in your life

Where are you now where are you going or where do you think life is taking you because believe me or not life is always more than living and killing time. There is more to life, more to explain more to think of and if you take time to find what it is for you that worth more than only living then you have solve the puzzle.

Work it out, meditate, get time alone think where you came from, where you are and where you are going after seeing the difference between those phrase in life, it will head you to what is most likely the solution about this puzzle of life.

Don't forget that since Life is more than living then lets not forget our God who gave us that life.

Thanks to God in the Highest. He made life so simple to live in but so hard to comprehend it's meaning.

You can see the essence of a black woman

when she walks into a room.

Her beauty is like a flower that blooms.

She doesn't need a man to be strong,

Because she remains a woman all on her own.

She overcomes challenges that stands in her way.

The inner strength she has gets her through the day.

She continues to triumph with elegance and grace.

While being a double jeopardy because of her sex and her race.

She is a goal oriented woman with style and confidence.

She never forgets where she comes from and for that she is blessed.

She has faith in God and not ashamed to acknowledge his presence in her life.

She can testify that without him she could never endure any sacrifice.

This black woman of beauty is the mother of all.

And for that we should be proud and stand tall.

Everyone around her can feel her presence.

For she is a Black woman of essence.



One can say women are controller such argument can be from simple example to why a woman can wear a trouser while a normal man can't wear a skirt or dress?
that is what i wanna leave it with u. (vijimambo tu)

'ME TODAY IS NOT ME TOMMOROW.' BY LULU MERO

Tanzania like any other country has got superstitions or local believes which people do believe on. Some of the current superstitions that are occurring now are as follows;

GOOD: In Tanzania local superstition leads people to believe Albinos bring luck and prosperity to those who come in contact with them.

-         An albino spokesman said there was a belief that the condition was the result of a curse put on the family.

-         Some witch-doctors also say they can use albino body parts in a potion to make people rich.

·          

·       BAD: Suspecting witches: As most of them were elderly women whose eyes had turned red from years of standing over cow dung cooking fires.

·        Another woman I met believed traditional healers are responsible for whipping up hatred against suspected witches. People repeatedly spoke of a gang of killers paid to murder suspected witches.

Been born in a country Tanzania I would like to talk about our big market in Dar-es salaam. It was a beautiful country which people are always kindly and hard workers to raise the country economy. One of the places that I remember perfectly for both good and bad memories is Kariakoo. This is the place where thee is a great market.

 A small history of as found in wikipidea is Kariakoo is an area of the city of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania in the Ilala district. In earlier centuries, it was a small village that was frequently raided by slave traders. Thousands of people were kidnapped from Kariakoo and forced into slavery in the Americas.

The name Kariakoo is the corrupted translation of "Carrier Corps" as during the German rule, the carrier corps used to reside in that area. Carrier means [Karia] and Corps = [Koo]

Kariakoo is mainly known for its extensive market that consumes numerous city blocks. Agricultural goods, house wares, and many other items can be found there, such as 'knock-off' apparel found in small shops peripheral to the market

Kariakoo is located in Dar-es-salaam and is the name for both the place and the markets, which are found in that place. This big market contains all kind of shops, services, and business that once you reach there you will finish all your needs before getting home, or searching for other place for shopping or services.

Most of the families, which leave in Dar-es-salaam, believe in Kariakoo for all family purpose shopping.

The major problem that Kariakoo the place of Tanzanian people is unsanitary of the place. It has been hard for our poor government to maintain the hygiene of the place which millions of Dar-es-salaam residency depend on.

As mentioned above Kariakoo, I the center place for both retail and wholesale things. One could also get fast food services in bars, kiosks and restaurants found in Kariakoo. Another point that makes Kariakoo a good place to consider shopping is the availability of varieties of things found in there so it provides much choose to the product that a consumer needs to buy. While also considering availability of things to buy a customer of Kariakoo is more likely to buy many things in a fair price since in Kariakoo since is a government place for marketing and doing business one could consider buying many things by having a bargain with the seller to afford things which he or she can’t afford.

Kariakoo in Dar-es-salaam Tanzania faces a huge problem of hygiene, which makes customers who buy things there to get disease. The huge disease problem facing Kariakoo is cholera known as [kipindupindu]. This disease is cause by stagnant water bodies along the way of food and fruits venders. The stagnant water might have carried bacteria or even other microorganism that makes the place dirty for trading and the lead of micros production. This problem has been a chaos to all residency and customers who reach Kariakoo, and found such unsanitary condition while it is one of the well-known markets in all of East Africa for the qualities mentioned above.

Since Kariakoo is our dependant place as Tanzania for shopping I do believe there is no other place which it could compare it to reach the same qualities that mentioned for Kariakoo. Other markets in comparison are not as big, fast services and cheap compare to Kariakoo. Kariakoo is the market place which I was raised knowing going there for all our home shopping including food, clothes and other home facilities. I would like to address my concern to the place where nearly almost 92% of Dar-es salaam residency go and shop in Kariakoo for both business and personal needs. I would love if a donor would appear to save the place since many people get sick out of the dirty environment condition, and by guarantee that it is a government place so nobody feels concerned with the contribution to the repairing and making it a better place for people who come and buy things.

The condition could be seen from the attached pictures shows how polluted the marketing area is, especial in consideration of how many consumers buy and eat the same food and fruits which are located near those dirty sewage water or sedimentary water from rain.

Therefore Dar-es salaam as a big city of Tanzania needs help with its big market area called KARIAKOO.

US HISTORY 2

THEME: PRESIDENTIAL DECISIONS.

USA is a country which decision had a great impact to the country, people and even other countries. And all these decision could not have been passed without approval from the President at that time period. Most of the decision passed by President in the US did not have only significant impacts on American society but also other countries with particular reasons behind.

A good example to the Presidential decision in US is Franklin. D. Roosevelt with the decision to propose the New Deal. Another  is Harry S. Truman decision to drop atomic bomb on Japan and Lyndon B. Johnson decision to declare  the ‘‘War on Poverty’’

President Roosevelt during depression time in USA, he had to pass New Deal so that he could improve living condition of people. By combating the Great Depression, New Deal was the term used to restore American’s sense of hope and refer to the relief. Recovery and reform programs.

New Deal decision had a positive impact to the American society especial majority love it hence Johnson got the second term elected after the first which he took from Roosevelt death. The economy during world war1 was controlled much better and much more were done like job provision to people. All these provided relief and stability in financial institutions also better life of people.

The attack of Pearl Harbour was the day to live an infamy in American History. Under Roosevelt the next day, Dec 7, 1941 asked the Congress to declare war on Japan

This can also be part of reason to the broken policy of neutrality and involvement in WW11.

            After the death of Roosevelt, Truman became the president of US. Truman had to maintain the strategies or ruling ways used by Roosevelt. Dropping of Atomic bomb on Japan was one of his decisions to finish the war and test the power it had. This action had a major impact on the land of Nagasaki and Hiroshima. USA community was also segregated from the day of attack in Pearl Harbour and Japanese-American was sent to concentrated camps for safety. Japan lost a lot of people from the bomb and the places which were targeted had been destroyed badly by the bomb and hence US showed no mercy on the issue but rather that referring them to their attack.

            Johnson, Lyndon was the 36 President who expanded social assistance with his Great Society program increased commitment during Vietnam War. This President due to the worst circumstance he found, the assassination of Kennedy and governed during divisive periods he had to declare the ‘‘War on Poverty’’

            Johnson decision was powerfully and quick under his Great society programs were able to lift American societies. People were out of poverty and promoted equal right of citizen. His decision was favourable to people all around USA hence they saw difference made after his power. Lyndon Johnson did get problem in the next election. He got second term Presidential and he didn’t stop to use his Great society program to improve living condition of people and get ride of Great Depression.

            Therefore not only decisions make change but make impacts to people places and have to have a reason behind. Many decisions have been made but several Presidents of USA which left impacts behind which might be considered positive or negative. But much more all these decisions are what made our country to stand out with great History behind it carries. Decision made by President in any country have are important especial when the country is in need of those decision at that particular time period.

THEME: EXPANSION OF DEMOCRACY

          Democracy of US is an element of government by people. This element in US has been made to expand using various proposals and methods to improve US Constitution and its government.

          Constitution amendments are one of the methods used to expand democracy in US. Different amendments have been passed after the ratification of the US Constitution. Most of these amendments were provided for the benefit of people and their country. A good example is Constitution amendment number 1 that gave people Freedom of Speech. Constitution amendment number 13 help to ban slavery, amendment number 19 was women suffrage. All these amendments expanded democracy power and help people living condition in America.

          State and local government actions have been effective methods in expansion of democracy in USA. These actions suggested are called initiates and they sent to parliament to be voted and approved by the President. A good example will be the New Natives asserts it’s Authority in 1812- 1848. This was when US asserted it’s sovereignty during the war of 1812 and Mexican – America war, as well as with the proclamation of Monroe Doctrine.

          Presidential actions that have been made to expand democracy in US were a good method. President. Kennedy gave civil right addresses and led to establishment of civil right act 1940 latter after his assassination. This shows the opponents to the methods used for democracy expansion in USA.

          Having members of Congress long time in parliament more than two terms was ones limited to avoid too much power. From this proposal supporters believed that different people should get opportunity and avoiding the same people having power over and over. On the other hand the opponents didn’t support the proposal since anybody has right for whatever time to be in the parliament as long as he or she is democratically elected by people. Opponents also believed there should not be limitation of Congressman who is favoured by majority.

          On American pathway we hold that Americans used various methods and proposal to expand democracy. Throughout the nation’s history Americans have stepped forward to risk their lives to protect freedom and democracy. These all are proved by patriotism of people and strong hope hold by it’s people who make the democratic government.

PLAGIARISM

Plagiarism can be considered as copying or borrowing someone else original ideas without citing them. The origin of the word to plagiarize means: “transitive senses: to steal and pass off the ideas or words of another as one's own: use another's production without crediting the source intransitive senses: to commit literary theft: present as new and original an idea or product derived from an existing source” in reference to Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary (http://www.m-w.com).

 There are many kinds of plagiarism depending on how it is considered copying or borrowing one’s idea without citing or get permission from the person concerned. It is well thought-out cheating when one plagiarizes another person work without citing or referring where the information is found from. A good writer will never copy without understanding what it means or crediting the sources. Even if a source is cited, plagiarism also occurs when text is directly copied without proper attribution. The source is under copyright and not under a free license, the copy may represent a copyright violation, but paraphrasing sufficiently to avoid copyright violation does not prevent plagiarism.

In other way some people refer plagiarism as is like budding. Budding means “to engraft or to insert a bud of one variety of tree or shrub under the bark of another stock”. Meaning, a part of one plant is just combined with a part of another plant producing a new one. But the one produced is just a combination of the two sources. Just like plagiarism, combining of different facts owned by others. Both may improve the original or the source but it is still an exact copy of the different sources joined together. (Title: why do people commit plagiarism by www.customwriting.com)

Plagiarism is considered wrong due to many reasons behind one of them can be direct from it’s origin of the word says plagiaries which is Latin word "kidnapper, seducer, plunderer," used in the sense of ‘literary thief’ this is based one the definition from the Online Etymology Dictionary. If one also check the Australian Concise Oxford Dictionary the definition is to: “take and use the thoughts writings, inventions, etc of another person as one’s own” and/or to “pass off the thoughts etc of another person as one’s own” (p.864). Despite plagiarism definition; it is also considered wrong because it makes people lose their personal integrity. In many ways

As a student I consistitute of what is an example of a plagiarism since I didn’t cite my work based on MLA format. I know that now am wrong not to use that format although I did put all my reference at the end of the paper. To be honest my English teacher didn’t teach us well how to write using MLA format. It was so hard for me to write the same way is supposed to be written. Thus why I decided to write all what I could before the deadline without knowing how to put in MLA format.

Right now am so disappointed because I worked for my Senior Thesis and no one even care, I mean even my English Teacher just tells me that my plagiarism rate was high while he doesn’t even talk to me anything about it.  I don’t real care if I won’t graduate because I believe that am a senior student who has all credits to graduate and I deserved to graduate without any obstacle.

When thinking what constitute plagiarism, one can think is only copy what others have done before, but in reality there are many actions which involve plagiarism. According to the University of Dar es Salaam and Other Useful Information for Students by my view of investigation all constitute of plagiarism are considered academic fraud. This includes the following actions:  When one presentation of ideas from sources that you do not credit; use of direct quotations without quotation marks and without credit to the source; paraphrasing information and ideas from sources without credit to the source; failure to provide adequate citations for material obtained through electronic research; downloading and submitting work from electronic databases without citation; participation in a group project which presents plagiarized materials; taking credit as part of a group without participating as required in the work of the group; Submitting material created or written by someone else as one’s own, including purchased term/research papers.

In general Plagiarism can be taken as a serious matte to writers student or any body who use the paper which has high rate of plagiarism without citation or referring where the information ids from. For students in college plagiarism can lead a student to be kicked out of school since is illegal and is one of the contract which a college student need to know. Another actions taken for plagiarized people is punishment like the one I got, of having another research paper to write on top of My senior paper and thesis; whereby not only it make me feel guilt and punished but also makes my opportunity to graduate in a risk.

There is always misperception of plagiarism. Most of the teachers and professors in college believe that student know all about plagiarism and that always student try to cheat. There are some areas of plagiarism which must be considered. I will give a good example of my senior thesis which I didn’t know what is MLA format and how to put that paper in such a way; so I ended up listing all my citation, or reference or biography at the end of my research or thesis. From this point of view is clearly that plagiarism is not always intentional by students.

By thinking about the reason behind student cheating is real a great question, which can be answered differently from one student to another. Some students need to plagiarize in order to finish their paper on time, others need to plagiarize since they have no idea of what to write from the topic, or don’t want to stress their mind talking about the topic. It can also be the immense presser they get from the parents, peers, social etc. Having less emphasizes on learning than grades and performances can also spoil students.

Plagiarism can be controlled and eliminated among student if they learn since when they are young that is not good. Having student-led initiative will make student tell each other that is not cool to cheat and that will make students to respond more positively to their peers; if chat is not good then most student won’t do it.

Being a model to other students is one key role as a leader since plagiarizing does not show who the person really is. One will not be showing his or her point of view while writing since the words or ideas are plagiarized.  When one commits plagiarism does not only hurt the individual for getting punished but it also affect the community in whole; those people who formally give out their ideas and written something have to be recognized by citing and appreciate their work, and thus why is illegal to plagiarize.

So far by plagiarizing it makes one deny the opportunity to learn and practice skills that may be needed in future careers. By cheating on papers makes people wonder whether the writer had all this ideas and hence it makes one leaving future employers and faculty to question integrity and performance in general. Plagiarizing makes one to commits fraud on faculty who are evaluating work. It also deprives another author recognition due credit for his or her work when one shows disrespect for peers who have done their own work.

‘‘Numerous studies show that plagiarism and other types of academic fraud are increasing among undergraduate students.’’(http://www.ucalgary.ca/~hexham/study/plag.html)  For example in  article published by the Center for Academic Integrity (CAI), Professor Don McCabe claims that "On most campuses, 70% of students admit to some cheating while "Internet plagiarism is a growing concern" because although only "10% of students admitted to engaging in such behavior in 1999, almost 40%" admitted to it in 2005" (CAI 2005).

The practice of plagiarism is a form of academic high treason because it undermines the entire scholarly enterprise. When one wonders about plagiarism some questions can pop out of their mind such as how else do professors decide between a good and a bad student? Some question concerning election and appointment of people like to evaluate a candidate for an academic position, or grant of promotion to a fellow faculty member, if not on the basis of the belief that their written work is actually their own work? Therefore, plagiarism must be prevented at all levels of academic life from student papers to academic books. Nevertheless, care must be taken whenever one suspects a writer of plagiarism. It cannot be stressed enough that everyone makes a few mistakes and that genuine cases of similar use may occur.

Plagiarism can appear in many different contexts but in the academic and college setting is most commonly associated with writing and the borrowing of ideas without lending credit or citing the source from whence the material came. “The action or practice of plagiarizing is considered to be the wrongful appropriation or stealing, and publication as one’s own, of the ideas, which can include either literary, artistic, musical, mechanical etc ” (OED 1989). In other words, plagiarism is very much like theft in that something is taken or borrowed from an author or creator without credit. Being given examples of plagiarism can vary but one common instance involves the borrowing of ideas in exactly the same way they have been written by another person before For instance, if one were as was done above to give the word for word definition of plagiarism from it reason because without the indicators that it a quote borrowed form another source it would appear that it was being used for the first time.
