Mwanamichezo bora Taswa ‘kutoka’ na GX 100

Chama cha Waandishi wa Habari za Michezo Tanzania (Taswa), kimetangaza kuwa Mwanamichezo Bora wa Tanzania kwa mwaka 2010 atazawadiwa gari.

Akizungumza Dar es Salaam, Mwenyekiti wa Taswa, Juma Pinto amesema wanamichezo wengine watakaoshinda kwenye kila mchezo watazawadiwa Sh milioni moja kila mmoja.

Pinto alisema kuwa wameamua kumpa gari mshindi kama njia mojawapo ya kumpongeza kutokana na mafanikio yake, lalini pia kuwapa changamoto wengine ya kufanya vizuri kwenye mashindano mbalimbali ili siku za usoni nao wapate zawadi hizo.

“Tumeamua kutoa gari mpya aina ya Toyota GX 100, yenye thamani ya Sh milioni 13, tunaamini zawadi hii inaweza kusaidia wanamichezo kuona jinsi gani tunavyowathamini,” alisema Pinto.

Mwenyekiti huyo alisema kuwa karibu vyama 15 vya michezo mbalimbali, vitapewa tuzo kwa wanamichezo wao waliofanya vizuri mwaka 2010 na kwamba kati ya vyama hivyo kuna vingine michezo yao inachezwa na jinsia mbili, hivyo idadi ya tuzo zitazidi 30.

“Michezo kama wavu, soka, mpira wa mikono, gofu, tenisi na mingine inachezwa na wanaume na wanawake, hivyo lazima uwe na tuzo kwa pande zote mbili.

“Pia kutakuwa na tuzo nyingine nne, ambazo ni Tuzo ya Heshima kwa aliyetoa mchango kwenye michezo, Tuzo ya Mwanamichezo Bora Chipukizi, Tuzo ya Mtanzania anayecheza nje ya nchi na Tuzo ya Mwanamichezo wa Nje anayecheza Tanzania,” alisema.

Alisema baada ya kuwapata wanamichezo bora wa kila mchezo, ndipo miongoni mwao atatoka Mwanamichezo Bora wa Tanzania kwa mwaka 2010, ambao wote watazawadiwa Mei 6, mwaka huu kwenye sherehe zitakazofanyika Hoteli ya Movenpick, Dar es Salaam.

Naye Mkurugenzi wa Uhusiano na Mawasiliano wa Kampuni ya Bia ya Serengeti (SBL) inayodhamini tuzo hizo, Teddy Mapunda alisema, licha ya kupewa zawadi ya gari, pia mshindi atalala kwenye Hoteli ya Movenpick kwa siku moja katika chumba cha hadhi ya daraja la juu.

Alisema kampuni yake itaendelea kushirikiana na Taswa kuhakikisha kuwa tuzo hiyo inakuwa bora na ya aina yake hapa nchini.

Wanamichezo wengine waliotwaa tuzo hiyo kuanzia mwaka 2006 ni Samson Ramadhan, Martin Sulle (2007), Mary Naali (2008), ambao ni wanariadha na Mwanaid Hassan (2009).

Zawadi ya juu ya Mwanamichezo Bora ilitolewa mwaka jana, ambapo mshindi alipata Sh 700,000 kwa ushindi wa jumla na ile ya mwezi alipata Sh 300,000 hivyo kumfanya aondoke na Sh milioni moja.

Lesbians start legal fight after being denied hotel room

ShareretweetEmail Story Print Story By Ian Dunt Skip related content
Related photos / videos Lesbians start legal fight after being denied hotel room Two lesbians who were denied a double room at a hotel are launching a legal challenge with the help of civil liberty advocates.

Rebecca Nash and Hope Stubbings were allegedly denied the hotel room at the Brunswick Square Hotel in Brighton because it only accepted 'couples and families'.

"Laws prohibiting hotels and guesthouses from discriminating against gay men and lesbians have been in place for four years now, but clearly the message still isn't getting through," said James Welch, legal director of Liberty, which is bringing legal proceedings against the hotel on the couple's behalf.

"With the Equality Act 2010 now in force, my clients intend to show that they have as much right to enjoy a quiet weekend away together as any other couple."

The manager of the hotel insisted to politics.co.uk that the two women had not made a booking and that they had not been rejected because of their sexuality.

But according to Liberty, the manager had told the women "no two boys, no two girls" before losing his temper and ushering them out the hotel.

The Equality Act, which forbids discrimination in the provision of good and services, applies to hotels, but claimants would need to demonstrate that they had been treated differently to a heterosexual couple. The case follows a row over the John Snow pub, which recently saw hundreds of gay men conduct a 'kiss-in' after a young gay couple on their first date were allegedly thrown out for kissing.

Relationship suicide: things you should never say to your lover

Even if you pride yourself on your open and honest relationship, there are times when over familiarity and frankness can get you into trouble. Take heed and think before you speak if you want your relationship to prosper…

“You knew I was this way when you met me.”
Uh oh! This is a classic example of passive aggression. Instead of trying to address your own flaws, you’re trying to hold your partner partially responsible for your shortcomings. Before getting riled that your partner is behaving unreasonably, stop and think what this little statement actually says about you. Here’s a rough translation - “I refuse to evolve as a person and am resistant to change. Deal with it.” Do you really want to paint yourself in such a bad light? Do you really have no intention of attempting compromise? If the answer is no, it’s better to admit your faults and say something like “I know I’m difficult, but I am trying to change.”

“You’re 95% perfect.”
Even if it’s meant as a massive compliment, this statement is guaranteed to have completely the opposite effect. The person on the receiving end won’t be able to stop themselves from wondering - and possibly even obsessing over - why they aren’t scoring full marks in the perfection stakes instead of being flattered. The lesson here? Stick to positive affirmations like “You’re the one for me.” Make sure your compliments are just that - there’s no room for discrepancy - avoid saying anything that could be misconstrued or used against you.

“I wish you were more/less like my ex.”
It’s perfectly natural to find yourself comparing a previous partner to your present one at times but it’s never a wise move to actually say so out loud. Be prudent and bite your tongue whenever you’re tempted to drag your ex’s name into an argument. Being measured favourably or unfavourably to a past love is not only mean but also an unconstructive form of criticism that has the potential to ruin your relationship. So keep the ex-talk at bay even when things get heated.

“Then I guess we shouldn’t be dating.”
Every couple argues – it’s no big deal, just so long as you don’t end up making sweeping statements like this one when you really don’t mean them. Do you actually intend to breakup over something trivial like your boyfriend/girlfriend not putting the rubbish out, or forgetting you don’t like mushrooms? If the answer is no, then forget the drama or run the risk your other half taking you up on the offer. Reserve the fighting talk for when you genuinely want out of a relationship.

“You’re not fat from the front, just from the side.”
Honesty is not always the best policy when it comes down to the issue of women and weight. This is one of the rare occasions on which we advocate a little bending of the truth to save any hurt feelings. Changing the subject all together is also an option. Saying something like “Your hair looks really nice.” Or “Are those new shoes?” should help steer you off the path to destruction.

“You’re bad in bed!”
If things in the bedroom aren’t quite as earth-shattering as you’d hoped, this certainly isn’t going to help matters. Ridiculing your lover about their performance between the sheets is cruel, hurtful and will leave them feeling vulnerable. A statement like this even if there’s only a grain of truth behind it could even herald the end of your relationship. Suggest switching up your love making moves and sensitively initiating something a little different will reap more enjoyable rewards.

10 things that will get you the job

Do you want to extend your time looking for a job? Of course not. Candidates are always on the lookout for the most efficient, effective way to find new work. Bear in mind the following tips during your job search and interview processes, and make your job hunting should whiz by.


1. Customise your CV and covering letter.
Customise your CV for the jobs you're after. One size doesn't fit all; you're an individual so show it. Many online recruitment sites show sample CVs and provide expert tips on how you should tailor yours.

2. Diversify your search.
If you've been responding to newspaper ads with no response, also post your CV online, search some job websites, talk to your friends and attend an industry trade show. The more ways you search, the more likely you are to connect with the right employers. The latest figures from the British Market Research Bureau show that using the Internet is the favoured job-hunting method for one-in-four UK adults.

3. Don't go solo.
The University of London says up to 60 per cent of jobs never make it to print. One of the keys to creative job-hunting is creating a network of contacts as a source of information about the career that you're interested in, and as a way to get yourself known by the right people. Who knows - a friend-of-a-friend might hold the perfect lead. Let your contacts know you're on the job market. Or look online: with more than 95,000 members worldwide, Ecademy is a valuable place to meet business movers and shakers.

4. Find a company where you fit in.
Browse potential employers' websites and ask your friends about what it's like to work at their companies. Employers are looking for candidates who would be a good fit and thrive within the company culture.

5. Don't get discouraged.
Experts estimate the average job search to last anywhere between three and 10 months - and that means a lot of rejection. Keep at it: your dream job is out there.

6. Always be prepared.
You can never be too prepared for your first meeting with a potential employer. Before your interview, always browse the company's website. Find out as much as you can about the company's products, leadership, mission and culture. Prepare answers to common interview questions and be ready for difficult ones.

7. Be on time.
Whether it's an informal or formal interview, always arrive about 10 minutes early. Allow plenty of time for traffic, transport delays and bad weather.


8. Dress and act the part.
Good interview technique is as much about looking the part as verbally communicating well. Around two-thirds of human communication is non-verbal and lasting impressions are formed quickly, largely based on appearance. In fact, the way you walk and stand accounts for 80 per cent of someone's first impression of you. A well-tailored suit is almost always appropriate for interviews.

9. Showcase your talents.
Your CV may show off your experience and business sense, but what about showcasing your creative side and extracurricular interests by setting up a blog? A MySpace editor such as www.strikefile.com/myspace can help you create an impressive offering quickly. Then simply bring your laptop with you. Taking time to create a short, snazzy presentation could also be impressive. But avoid being cheesy.

10. Ask good questions.
At the end of an interview, the employer will inevitably ask if you have any questions. Have a list of questions prepared that showcase your company research and interest in the position.

The right job for you may not be easy to find but keep trying and make sure that you spend enough time searching in the right places. Remember - the more opportunities you have, the better the job that you’ll be able to choose.

Mwasika ' out' Yanga, Taifa Stars kwa miezi 6

MCHEZAJI tegemeo wa klabu ya Yanga na timu ya Taifa, Taifa Stars, Stephano Mwasika uenda asicheze mechi zilizobakia za kufuzu kombe la Mataifa ya Afrika kutokana na kuwa majeruhi.

Mwasika ambaye alicheza mechi dhidi ya Afrika ya Kati akitokea benchi na kuiwezesha timu hiyo kushinda mabao 2-1 anatarajiwa kufanyiwa upasuaji wa goti au misuli ya meniscus na anatarajiwa kuwa nje kati ya miezi minne na sita.

Upasuaji huo umepangwa kufanyika nchini India na lini utafanyika itategemea mipango ya klabu yake ya Yanga ambayo ndiyo yenye jukumu la mwisho la matibabu ya mchezaji huyo kwa mujibu wa taratibu za Shirikisho la Kandanda Duniani (FIFA).

Kocha Mkuu wa timu ya Taifa, Jan Poulsen alisema kuwa ni pigo kwa timu yake kwani hakumjumuisha mchezaji huyo kwenye timu inayokwenda kucheza mechi ya kimataifa dhidi ya Msumbiji ili kupisha matibabu yake.

“Nimepata taarifa kuwa atakwenda India, hii ina maana kuwa atakuwa nje muda mrefu, kuwepo kwake katika timu hii itategemea zaidi nafuu yake, sina jinsi zaidi ya kutafuta mchezaji ambaye ataweza kuziba pengo lake,” alisema Poulsen.

Poulsen alisema kuwa alimjumuisha Mwasika katika kikosi ambacho kilitarajia kupambana na Jamhuri ya Afrika ya Kati mwezi Juni, lakini kwa sasa hali imekuwa tofauti.

Daktari wa timu ya Taifa, Juma Mwanandi Mwamkemwa alisema kuwa lazima mchezaji huyo afanyiwe upasuaji na madaktari bingwa wapo nchini India na anaamini ataendelea kucheza baada ya kupona.

“Kwa kifupi, baada ya kupasuliwa atatakiwa kukaa si chini ya miezi minne ili aanze mazoezi ya taratibu huku akiangaliwa kwa undani zaidi na nadhani itachukua kati ya mwezi mmoja na nusu ili kurejea hali yake ya kawaida baada ya miezi minne,” alisema Mwamkemwa.

Afisa Habari wa Yanga, Louis Sendeu kuwa ni masikitiko makubwa timu yao kumkosa Mwasika licha ya kuwa wachezaji wao wako katika kusherehekea sikukuu.

Majuto alisema kuwa wakiwa njiani, watacheza mechi moja mkoani Kilimanjaro (Moshi mjini) dhidi ya maveterani wa mkoa huo na baadaye kuondoka usiku kuelekea Arusha na kuweka kambi ya siku mbili (Mei 6 na Mei 7) kabla ya kuanza kazi ya kutetea ubingwa wao.

"Tupo katika maandalizi mbali mbali pamoja na kusaka wadhamini, kama unavyojua tunategemea sana wadhamini ili kufanikisha safari yetu, hivyo tunaomba wadhamini watupige tafu," alisema Majuto.

Alisema kuwa wakiwa njiani, Taswa Fc itasimama Segera na kucheza mechi moja siku ya Mei 9 na kuondoka usiku huo huo kurejea DSM.

Kiongozi huyo aliwataka wachezaji wote kufanya maandalizi ya kina ili kuweza kutimiza wajibu wao katika mashindano hayo.

'NCHIMBI AWAPONGEZA MABONDIA'

WAZIRI wa Habari, Vijana, Utamaduni na Michezo Dkt. Emmanuel Nchimbi,
amepongeza uteuzi wa mabondia wa timu ya Taifa uliofanywa na
Shirikisho la Ngumi za Ridhaa Tanzania (BFT).

Mwanzoni mwa wiki hii, Katibu Mkuu wa BFT, Makore Mashaga, alitangaza
kikosi cha mabondia 28 waliochaguliwa kuunda kikosi hicho ambacho
kitakuwa chini ya Kocha Mkuu Hurtado Pimenter kutoka Cuba na makocha
wazawa Benjamin Mwangata, Makoye Isangula na Edward Emanuel.

Dkt. Nchimbi alitoa pongezi hizo Dar es Salaam juzi katika kikao
chake na wajumbe wa Kamati ya Utendaji BFT, alipokutana nao kwa mara
ya kwanza tangu achaguliwe katika nafasi hiyo.

“Timu za Taifa zichaguliwe mapema kwani zinapochaguliwa karibu na
mashindano, wachezaji wetu hawapati maandalizi ya kutosha kwani lengo
la serikali ni kufanya mapinduzi makubwa katika sekta ya michezo,”
alisema Nchimbi.

Aliongeza kuwa, taswila la mchezo wa ngumi ilianza kupotea nchini
kutokana na kashfa ya dawa za kulevya iliyotokea katika uongozi wa
Alhaj Shaaban Mintanga hivyo jukumu la uongozi wa sasa ni kutafisha
taswila hiyo katika jamii.

Alisema umefika wakati wa BFT, kuimarisha mfumo wa mawasiliano katika
ngazi za chini na kuboresha utendaji kazi ili kupata mabondia wenye
vipaji na uwezo wa kuitangaza Tanzania kimataifa.

Kwa upande wake, Katibu Mkuu wa BFT, Makore Mashaga, alisema jitihada
kubwa zilizoanza kufanywa na shirikisho hilo ni kuhakikisha mabondia
wote, wanaingia katika mpango wa Polisi Jamii ili wahusika wa biashara
hiyo na watumiaji, waweze kukamatwa na kufikishwa katika vyombo vya
sheria.

'SABABU ZA TASWA FC KUTOCHEZA KOVA CUP HIZI HAPA

Uongozi wa timu ya soka ya waandishi wa habari za michezo nchini, Taswa FC umesema kuwa haujatokea katika mechi za mashindano ya Kova Cup kutokana na kutopata ratiba.

Mwenyekiti wa Taswa FC, Majuto Omary alisema kuwa taarifa za kucheza mechi yao ya kwanza walizipata siku ya Jumapili saa 9.00 alasiri baada ya kupigiwa simu na mmoja wa wasimamizi wa mashindano hayo, Bw. Chonya na ilikuwa vigumu kwao kuifanyia kazi taarifa ya njia ya simu.

Majuto alisema kuwa katika mazungumzo hayo, njia pekee ya kuwashirikisha wao katika mashindano hayo ni kwa kutuma tarifa au ratiba nzima ya mashindano hayo masaa 48 kabla ya mchezo kwani wachezaji wao wote ni waandishi wa habari na wanahitaji kuombewa ruhusa ili kucheza mechi hizo.

Alisema kuwa taarifa ya Chonya ilikuwa ikiwataka Taswa FC kucheza mechi yake saa 8.00 mchana, hali ambayo ni vigumu kwa waandishi wa habari kuwatoa katika maeneo yao ya kazi ili kwenda kucheza mechi hizo.

“Waandishi au wachezaji wetu wanatakiwa kuripoti maenoe yao ya kazi kuanzia saa 7.00 mchana, hata magari ya kubeba waandishi hufika Idara ya Habari kuanzia saa 7.00 mchana, mfano Waandishi wa Mwananchi Communications Limited (MCL) wao wanatoka katika majukumu yao saa 7 na kurejea makao makuu Tabata Relini, New Habari nao hivyo hivyo, wao wanatatoka Maelezo saa 7.30 mchana kuelekea Sinza, The Guardian Limited nao uondoka saa 7.00, je watafika maeneo yao ya kazi saa ngapi na kucheza mechi saa 8.00?,” alihoji Majuto.

Alifafanua kuwa endapo wangekuwa na ratiba, ingekuwa rahisi kuwaombea ruhusa wachezaji wao ili kufanya kazi mapema na kuwahi mechi hizo.

“Hatuna lengo baya kama baadhi ya wajumbe wa Kamati ya mashindano wanavyodhani, timu yetu ipo kimashindano zaidi na ndiyo maana tumeshinda vikombe vingi sana hapa Dar na Arusha,” alisema.

'ASKARI 23 WA POULSEN HAWA HAPA'

Kocha Mkuu wa timu ya Taifa, Jan Poulsen ametangaza majina ya wachezaji 23 ambao wataiwakilisha Tanzania kwenye mechi ya AFCON dhidi ya Jamhuri ya Kati hapo Machi 27 kwenye uwanja wa Taifa.

Katika uteuzi huo, Yanga na Azam zina juma ya wachezaji wanne kila mmoja wakati Wekundu wa Msimbazi, Simba ina watatu huku Mtibwa Sugar, JKT Ruvu na ST Long An ya Vietnam zina wachezaji wawili wawili.

Timu hiyo itaingia kambini Machi 17 kwenye hotel ya Atrium ya Sinza bila ya wachezaji wa Simba ambao wanajiandaa na mechi dhidi ya TP Mazembe. Simba SC inatarajia kuondoka Jumamosi kwenda Lubumbashi, DR Congo kwa ajili ya mchezo huo uliopangwa kupigwa Machi 20.

Wachezaji wa timu hiyo wanatarajia kujiunga na kambi hiyo siku ya Jumatatu, mara baada ya kurejea kutoka Lubumbashi.

Child, 3, treated for alcoholism at British hospital

The child has been treated in hospital after being given alcohol regularly for six months.

The unnamed youngster, from the West Midlands, was one of 13 children who were diagnosed alcoholic by the Heart of England NHS Trust between 2008 and 2010.

In the same period, 106 teenagers aged 13 to 16 were also treated for their addiction to alcohol.

Nicolay Sorensen, a spokesman for Alcohol Concern, said: "To be diagnosed alcoholic, it's possible this child would have shown a physical dependency. They would have had to ingest enough to cause withdrawal symptoms.

"Whatever the circumstances, it is a truly horrifying case and raises very serious child protection issues."

Sarah Matthews, spokeswoman for the British Liver Trust, said: “This is an extreme case and definitely one of the youngest cases of alcoholism we have heard of.

“However, it does raise the issue of the accessibility of alcohol and how normal it has become. The power of cheap alcohol, availability and promotion makes it very difficult for people to consider their health when making decisions about if they drink and how much.”

The statistics emerged just weeks after Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals NHS Trust revealed that hundreds of children were admitted to hospital every year, often after their parents have bought them alcohol.

Their research found four five-year-olds among 165 under-17s they treated in the past five years for drink and drug problems.
