The value of time

Time is part of the measuring system used to sequence events, to compare the durations of events and the intervals between them, and to quantify the motions of objects. With time there has been development of some cute sayings about time with different meanings conceptualized within a specified context. As such, I will not give any meaning to any of the sayings as used to avoid confusions based on the origin of the ‘’concept’’ and ‘’context’’ in which they are used. For instance ‘No hurry in Africa’ ‘Time is money’ ‘Time is making ability’ (Some say: time is makangability!!! Back in school, remember them days hehhehe!!)

While making sense of TIME, take an example of a bank account that credits your account each morning with thousands of pounds/shillings/Euro or any other currency. Bear in mind that it carries over no balance from day to day. Every evening the bank deletes whatever balance in part or wholly that you failed to use during the day. What would you do? Hehe! The answer is obvious ‘Draw out every cent, of course!. In this context everyone of us have such a bank account goes by the name ‘TIME’

Every morning, it credits you with thousands of seconds. In the evening it writes off as lost, whatever of this you have failed to invest to a good purpose. And no chance is given to explain why you did not do something on time as planned/scheduled. Above all, it carries over no balance. It allows no over draft. The next day it opens a new account for you. Each night it burns any remains of the day. If you fail to use the day's deposits, the loss is yours. You can’t reserve for tomorrow or later times for there is no drawing against "tomorrow." For that case you must live in the present on today's deposits only. It’s non-negotiable. Invest it so as to get from it success, happiness and timely achievement!
The clock is running!! Make the most of it today.

To realize the value of TEN YEARS, ask a newly Divorced couple
To realize the value of FOUR YEARS, ask a graduate
To realise the value of ONE YEAR, ask a student who failed a final exam.
To realize the value of NINE MONTHS, ask a mother who gave birth to a still born.
To realise the value of ONE MONTH, ask a mother who has given birth to a premature baby.
To realise the value of ONE WEEK, ask the editor of a weekly newspaper.
To realise the value of ONE HOUR, ask the lovers who are waiting to meet.
To realise the value of ONE MINUTE, ask a person who just missed a train/flight/bus etc.
To realise the value of ONE SECOND, ask someone who just avoided an accident.
To realise the value of ONE MILLISECOND, ask the person who won a silver medal at the Olympics.

Treasure every moment that you have! And remember TIME waits for no one.
This is why they say ‘Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That's why it’s called the present. So every passing minute is another chance to turn it all around. In this case ‘Remember the past, plan for the future, but live for today, because yesterday is gone and tomorrow may never come. In essence the main idea here is all about ‘TIME MANAGEMENT’.

In my experience, back in Tanzania I witnessed some mismanagement of time in one way or the other. For instance if time for an appointment is 2pm, it’s possible to make it at 3pm or later than that. A friend can even wait for 2hrs for an appointment. Things are different in the developed world i.e UK; no one reserves time for you, once you’re late your chances varnish accordingly. The only remedies probably start a fresh booking appointment. Example I happened to miss at least 7 or more important appointments in the difference of 2 to 3 minutes late in different offices.

I therefore learnt to be on time though it’s hard to cope especially when you’re not used to. Here time is everything; time is what decides what, where and when to do something. For example even decision making must be timely, likewise news from any media must be timely to make sense in aspects of communications and many others. Since at least everything is time manned, we really need to budget time to smoothly accomplish our day to day commitments as well as goals. It is my hope those in the UK and other places where time management is higly considered will strongly support what I’ve said, while those planning to come (UK) welcome but ‘MIND TIME’ otherwise you will suffocate. That’s all I’ve for today! Enjoy..

Obey the Law !!!!!!?

Do we need to obey the Law? Tell me if YES or NO while giving reasons why in both ways. It is just a comedy but to a great extent it reflects what people need to do or avoid which is good in our daily lives. However adding from the same, people need not to take things for granted to avoid the so called law scrutiny. For me this comedian by the name Chris Rock deserves big respect for doing two things at once. He entertains and educates at the same time, what a creativity?

Tujikumbushe wosia wa Baba wa Taifa na Rushwa

Ivi kama kweli hali halisi ya wala rushwa ingekua hivi kiutendaji na sio maneno matupu ingekuaje?? wenzetu wachina mla rushwa hawana mjadala nae wanamuua fasta akale rushwa awezavyo huko peponi. Hali kadharika drug dealers anauawa bila kuangalia ni nani, ana rangi gani, cheo, anatokea wapi. Mfano mzuri wa drug dealer/smuggler ni wa yule raia wa uingereza (Akmal Shaikh) ambaye pamoja na madai kwamba alikua chizi alihukumiwa bila kujali anatoka taifa kubwa. Nadhani msimamo kama huu ukitumika tz rushwa itaisha. Kwa maneno mengine wanasema ukitaka kumuua nyani usiangalie uso kwani utamuonea huruma.Na mafanikio zaidi yanawezekana kama adhabu kali itaanzia na wala rushwa wakubwa aka nyangumi na kumaliza na wadogo aka dagaa.Bila hivyo rushwa utabaki kua wimbo.Kwasababu kama mkubwa anakula rushwa mdogo unategemea afanye nini? Na kama mkubwa ataachwa wakati mdogo ana kamatwa basi hio ni sawa na usemi wa mkubwa akichafua hewa (jamba) kapumua wakati huo huo mdogo akifanya tendo hilo kachafua hewa.haki iko wapi?????? Tujiunge kumsikia Baba kwanza >>>>>

Hali ya visa kuja UK yazidi kua mbaya

New Tougher UK Student Visa Requirements
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Home Secretary Alan Johnson has announced changes to student visas that will mean that students will need to have better English; Also, those on shorter courses will only be allowed to work a smaller number of hours in the UK. It is interesting to note that only a week ago UKBA announced a temporary ban on student visa applications from Northern India, Bangladesh and Nepal.

The new requirements since 7 February 2009 are as follows:

•If you are from outside the EU you will need to speak English to a level just below GCSE standard, instead of beginner level English at present

•If you are a student taking a course below degree level you will only be allowed to work for 10 hours a week, instead of the 20 hours presently allowed

•If you are on a short course of under six months you will not be allowed to bring dependants into the UK.

•If you are on a course below degree level your dependants will not be allowed to work

•Visas for courses below degree level with a work placement will only be granted if the institution that you attend is on a new register, the Highly Trusted Sponsors List.

The Home Secretary said that 30% of migrants to the UK gain entry on a student visa. A number of these students take courses at a lower level than degree level. There were 240,000 student visas issued by the UK in 2008/09. A review of the system had been ordered in November 2009. This is despite the fact that the new Tier 4 student visa points based system was only introduced last year.

The UK Government has stated that tougher rules have been brought in to stop people abusing the student visa system to remain illegally in the UK. It should be noted that the UK has benefitted enormously from overseas students. Overseas students provide a substantial income to colleges and Universities. Especially during times of economic growth students and their dependents provide a useful source of new employees.
where as the opposition party the Conservatives had said that the student visa system had been the "biggest hole in border controls".
The Home Secretary had the following to say on the BBC's Andrew Marr Show:

"By 2011, we will have the most sophisticated system in the world to check people not just coming into the country but to check they have left as well," he said.
He said the UK remains open to those foreign students who want to come to the UK for legitimate study.
"If you are coming here for a course that is under six months you cannot bring your dependents"
"We are the second most popular location for people going into higher education," he said.
"We have to be careful that we are not damaging a major part of the UK economy, between £5bn and £8bn."
On the other hand, Immigration Minister Phil Woolas on the BBC's Politics Show said that 200 bogus colleges had been closed. He had the following to say:
"Students have foreign national identity cards. We have the e-Border counting in and counting out."
"The latest proposals are a response to the moves by people who are trying to get round the system."

KAMA HAITOSHI:     UK Immigration and nationality fee expect increase for 2010-2011
immigration minister, Phil Woolas comments over the increase in immigration and nationality fees, likely to be introduced in April 2010

It is interesting to note that for some dependent relative applications the fee has doubled or tripled in price. The Government feels that higher fees are justified to pay for the higher social and health care costs to look after elderly relatives. An application for entry on a settlement visa for a dependent relative will go up from 585£  to 1680£. While an application for a dependent relative visa made from inside the UK will go up from 820£ to 1680£.

Studying in the UK

Things to consider when planning to study abroad, UK in particular. Prepare the following:-


1. Academic Certificates of previous attended Schools, Colleges/Universities
2. Your own bank account (The new visa application system requires applicants personal Bank statement) or sponsor bank statement attached with a letter of commitment to pay for the applicant.
3. English proficiency Certificate  IELTS( Availability:British Council-Dar es salaam)
4. Your passport (Proof of Nationality and D.O.B)
5. Enough funds, life in the UK has changed tremendously it is very hard to attend a full time course in an accredited University while working to pay fees, at least the ability to pay fees have to be guaranteed. (I’ve seen several friends failing to graduate even in cheap colleges, why? Fees problem! In this case it’s even worse when thinking of studying at the University without any back up from home)

Visa information for Tanzanian students
All Tanzanian nationals who wish to study in the UK will need to apply for a student visa before they are eligible to enter the UK and begin their programme of study.

Unconditional letter
The university you’ve applied will send you unconditional letter prior to the 1st one which is normally conditional. Once you have accepted your offer of a study place and met the conditions been asked including paying fees of not less than 66% of the total fees per course, they will send you an unconditional letter which confirms your study place at the University you’ve applied. You will need this document to apply for your study visa to come to the UK. NB. No student visa will be processed without offer letter.

Immigration requirements
The British High Commission Dar Es Salaam, website has a full list of the immigration requirements to be met by Tanzanian nationals who wish to study in the UK. All UK visa applications at Dar es Salaam, must be done by submitting an online application. Here you can apply for a UK visa and book your appointment to submit your visa application over a secure internet connection.

NB: Please make sure that:
 You have answered clearly all of the required questions on the form(s)
 Signed and dated the form(s) where asked
 Any supporting documents you provide are originals or attested copies plus one photocopy of each original document submitted
 You make your application at least six weeks before you intend to travel and not more than 3 months before your travel date
 You fill out separate application forms for each person travelling, including children travelling on parents' passport

TB requirement

You will need to obtain an IOM Medical Certificate confirming that you are free from infectious tuberculosis (TB) if you are aged 11 years and over and applying for visa to go to the United Kingdom for a period longer than six months. Only diplomatic passport holders will be exempted. To arrange your medical examination, please contact the International Organization for Migration (IOM) in Dar es Salaam.
Note: Without this certificate, refusal is the obvious result! ‘’Mind your vijicent’’ coz it’s Non-refundable!

Collection of visa decisions
When you lodge your application, you will be given be a date on which your decision should be available and we will contact you if this changes. You can collect your decision Monday to Thursday 14.00– 15.00.
Note: a) No visa collection on Fridays!!

          b) The British High Commission will no longer have any ability to arrange visas at short notice.

Advice on Immigration
Most Universities through the international office have teamed staff to advice on immigration including:-
 Details of relevant immigration regulations and the documentation required to obtain a visa
 Guidance on what will happen upon entering the UK
 What to do if you have problems with immigration
 Advice on how the University's International Student Support office can offer information and advice, to students and any dependants, on extending your visa once you are in the UK.
Last and important note: Fake documents can lead you being banned entering the UK, be advised!

Yale yale kumbe hata ulaya wapo.

German prosecutors said Friday they have charged a member of all-female pop group No Angels with causing bodily harm for failing to inform sexual partners that she was HIV positive.
Nadja Benaissa, 27, had sex on five occasions between 2000 and 2004 with three people and did not tell them she was infected, even though she had known since 1999, according to the charge sheet.
"She was well aware that any unprotected sexual contact can lead to the virus being passed on," prosecutors in the town of Darmstadt near Frankfurt said.**
One of the three had since been confirmed as being infected with the HIV virus, which causes AIDS, prosecutors added.

NONDOZ KWA WATANZANIA OHIO (USA) APPLY NOW.

Funding: University of Ohio presents Opportunities for Graduate Study: Local Knowledge and Climate Change Adaptation in Tanzania

Closing date: 15 February 2010

Two two-year research assistantships at the M.A. level are available through a new project on local knowledge and climate change adaptation in Tanzania supported by the National Science Foundation’s Geography and Spatial Science (GSS) Program. The project -Linking Local Knowledge and Local Institutions for the Study of Adaptive Capacity to Climate Change: Participatory GIS in Northern Tanzania – investigates the myriad ways in which human, social, and institutional capital enable households and communities to draw on local knowledge and outside specialist knowledge to moderate the negative effects of greater climatic instability on rural livelihoods.

In addition to completing required courses for the MA program over two academic years (2010-2011 and 2011-2012), the successful candidates will contribute to an international interdisciplinary research project. We expect applicants to develop a thesis project that contributes to the project’s research objectives.

One graduate research assistant will work on the development of online multimedia applications derived from a participatory GIS. Background or interest in cartography and web-based mapping is desirable.

A second research assistant will work with the research team on the implementation of the project’s participatory field methodology and contribute to data analysis. The student’s interests should be focused on environment-development interactions (e.g., the dynamics of resource access, political, environmental or cultural-linguistic dimensions of local knowledge systems, gendered aspects of climate change adaptation). Proficiency in Kiswahili or interest in learning Kiswahili at Ohio University is a plus.

The assistantships include two academic years of tuition waiver and stipend for students enrolled in the Geography M.A. program. Additional support is available for student field research activities in Tanzania.

Eligible students may also apply for a Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) Fellowship from OU’s Center for African Studies http://www.internationalstudies.ohio.edu/app-info/flas.html

The application deadline is February 15 for Fall 2010 admission.

WAPI MABINTI!!!!.......MCHONGO WA UJERUMANI KWA MABINTI (18-25 YRS OLD

VOLUNTARY ECOLOGICAL YEAR IN GERMANY -Cultural Exchange and Environmental Work 2009

Introduction
The Voluntary Ecological Year ("Freiwilliges Ökologisches Jahr, FÖJ") is a scheme for young Germans to work for one year in different fields in the environmental sector. Since 2008 the Tanzania Solar Energy Association (TASEA) in Dar es Salaam together with the FÖJ branch in Schleswig-Holstein (a region in Northern Germany), have made it possible for two Tanzanians to take part in this scheme.

This year again, from August 2009 until August 2010, this opportunity will be available for 2 Tanzanian girls to work in Germany with the aim to further cultural exchange and the protection of the environment. If you are interested in experiencing German culture for one year and work in an NGO in the environmental sector in Germany, hesitate no longer and request your information pack and application form!



Further Information
For the year you will be assigned and work together with a young German participant of the programme in the same project. You will:

- Share ideas and learn from each other about your culture
- Experience the German way of life
- Improve the understanding of Tanzanian culture in Germany
- Learn about global environmental, economical and political issues
- Rise the environmental awareness of the Germans
- Take responsibility for sustainable development
- Work in educational and agricultural projects

Before starting the voluntary work you will take part in seminars in cultural preparation and a short introduction into the German language in Tanzania and Germany. During and after your stay you will meet participants of the FÖJ from different countries to share your ideas and experience.. You will live in a host family in the city of Lübeck nearby your working place and live on a small monthly stipend. Travel expenses are covered by the FÖJ Schleswig- Holstein.


Download an exact description of the work and hosting projects here:http://www.tasea.org/FOJfiles/FOJHostingPlaces.

What is expected from you?
If you apply you should match the following hard criteria:

If you are selected to go to Germany, you would be furthermore expected to contribute a small part of the administrative and preparation costs in Tanzania to TASEA. The amount will be TSH 150,000, which covers only a small part of the costs we spend for your travels to Dar es Salaam, preparation and language courses as well as visa fees. It should be understood as a symbolic gesture emphasising your motivation. Obtaining the money can usually be done by fundraising, and we can give you assistance in this process.

Furthermore, in case you will be selected to go to Germany, you will be expected to obtain an International Passport as soon as possible, as this will be necessary for applying for a visa.

Climate change is one of the major challenges that our world faces today.

The scholarships, which cover both tuition fees and living expenses, are made available for a range of excellent two-years Master’s programmes, including MSc programmes in wind energy, environmental engineering or sustainable energy planning.


Background
In line with the overall aim of securing a climate friendly Climate Conference, the Danish Government has decided not to give any gifts or conference-kits for COP15 participants. The resources saved is instead used to create the ‘COP15 Climate Scholarship’, which gives a number of international students the opportunity to pursue a masters degree within climate change studies at a university in Denmark.
