Conversing with someone everyday, sharing jokes and stories about your horrible bosses does not automatically mean that you are friends either. It takes a lot more than sharing same things for people to become friends.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I have had people in my life whom at one point in I considered them to be my friends, but time and distance has taught me otherwise. Time and distance has taught me how to differentiate between "Friends" and "acquittance". Those people you meet, get along, work together and sometimes work together are not always friends. The word friend refers to a more deeper relationship, a bond so strong that it can not be easily broken, no time neither distance can come between the bond of a true friendship.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I have met people throughout my years of school and college and now work, I became acquainted with most of these people, but in twelve years of my life I have made less than five friends. Friends who no matter how far they are and no matter how far they are they always seem to be just a text away or a call away and everything suddenly feels okay. People who knows us, love us despite our shortcomings, will sail through thick and thin with us and will always be there at the end of every race to tell us that we did great even if we did not win, that is what I call friendship</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I was moved to write this today because of something that just happened to me. Someone that I have known for a very short period of time but I grew to understand and like, but then It clicked me that she is just a workmate and an acquittance of mine and not a friend. In the end it is important to be able to distinguish between our friends and our acquittance, and always remember....</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><i>'.... to never mistake acquaintanceship for friendship" </i></b></span></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02087310173625610498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4771608326059318515.post-2538083954789588742012-06-27T00:37:00.000-07:002012-07-11T05:01:08.981-07:00TELL ME...

KEYS TO DEVELOP A CLASSY COMPANY<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">So today I am all work. I attended a training a few weeks back on how to develop a classy company. The training was about 20keys developed by one Japanese professor, these keys are most likely to help you develop a very successful business. Enjoy</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">'20 Keys' were created by Iwao Kobayashi who is a Chairman of PDI (PPORF Development Institute Inc.) in Japan. He describes 20 ‘Keys’ that are crucial to develop a world class company. The keys cover 5S, quick changeover, scheduling, reducing inventory, maintenance, skill building activities, eliminating waste, value analysis, empowering workers, quality, developing supplier, etc. Each key is further divided into five levels from novice to "world class" status. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Iwao Kobayashi, in 1988 published a book explaining 20 keys to workplace improvement. They all must be considered in order to achieve continuous improvement. These 20 keys are arranged in a circle that shows the relations between the keys and their influence on the three main factors explained previously: quality, cost, and lead time.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The arrangement in the circle is not categorical, and some keys offer benefits in more than one factor. There are four keys outside the circle. Three of them (keys 1, 2, and 3) must be implemented before the rest, and key 20 is the result of implementing the other 19 keys.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><h3><span class="Main2Grey"><strong><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">What does 20 Keys stand for?</span></strong></span></h3><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="bodycopy">20 focus areas that will help your organisation to build a holistic, sustainable continuous improvement culture.<br /> Its main aims are:</span> </span><ul><li class="bodycopy"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><strong>BETTER</strong> – Quality Improvement through defect prevention </span></li><li class="bodycopy"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><strong>FASTER</strong> – Lead Time Improvement through lean manufacturing and processing</span></li><li class="bodycopy"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><strong>CHEAPER</strong> – Cost Optimisation through productivity improvement and waste reduction</span></li></ul><span class="bodycopy"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Prof. Iwao Kobayashi did extensive research on, and personally experienced, the rise to world class of numerous Japanese companies. During this research he discovered 20 critical focus areas for a company ’s sustainable and holistic development.

On the other hand, to show the evolution of the factory, Kobayashi presents a radar graphic in which the scoring of each key is represented. Kobayashi recommends improving all the keys equally. Because of this recommendation, in the radar graphic, the factory’s scoring will grow concentrically.</span></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02087310173625610498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4771608326059318515.post-69442707856521635432012-06-18T02:45:00.000-07:002012-07-11T05:01:09.029-07:00SUPER CUTE BABIES : BURTON DANIEL MZENA<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This is one cute and handsome baby boy right here. and OMG he is always so so active, His name is Burton, he is eighteen months old.

Different environment and in most cases it is also a different climate. There are also other issues like culture diversity in all aspects of life, food, clothing, customs and other life norms. All this is challenging, and it takes a lot to adjust and at the same time your work still awaits for you, and you will be expected to perform according to the standards.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">People from third world countries, who live and work in developed countries face a lot of challenges in getting good jobs, places to stay and affording life in general. Most of them end up working odd jobs like waiting tables and etc. A handful who are lucky enough get professional jobs face a lot of discrimination. I have friends and relatives abroad and as much as they enjoy living abroad, they still face a lot of challenges, and they are honest enough to admit it.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Here in Tanzania, a lot of companies are privately owned, most Industries are owned by either Chinese or Indians. Do not ask me why, but that's how the situation is. These Industries normally prefers hiring al the top managerial people from abroad, and some of them goes as far as employing expatriates even for posts like accountants, and HRs. Do not ask me how they get work permits, because I always wonder myself.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">These people employed in Tanzania also face problems, in shops and markets the moment they realise that you are not local the prices goes up, in the offices interacting with the locals is a problem, and so on and so forth. But today, I only want to advice expatriates employed in Tanzania a few things:</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">First, this country has people, academically capable to do most of the jobs that these expatriates are being employed to do. Just to point this out, most of these people never have sufficient educational back ground anyway, but this country and its people affords them the opportunity of earning their daily bread. It is wrong for these expatriates to look down on the local people. Very wrong in all levels.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I have and still am living this experience first hand, and I am telling you it is horrible. In these companies your education level does not matter as long as you are a local you get treated like a nobody, in most cases you will be treated as if you were nothing.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The salary packages are completely different, you may be having an expatriate in your department who by the way will be placed there as your boss, but you will be teaching him the work anyway because he does not know how (and yet he is the boss) and at the end of the month he gets paid five times your salary and he does not get paid in this local currency, they are paid in US dollars. It feels bad, but since you still need your bread you have got no way but to keep working.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I would also like to remind them (expatriates) that, this country has been kind enough to give them a place to live, work and earn their living. The least you can do is to treat its people fairly. Do not discriminate them, do not look down on them, pay them according to what they deserve, treat them as If you were in your own country with your own people.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">It feels very bad being mistreated when you are in your home country, it feels like you are a prisoner in your own home, it feels bad I am telling you. And these people should know, they should. They are minorities here, technically speaking they are taking the best of our jobs and living in best of our streets and yet the are looking down on us. Most of them only have technical educations, the same kind of education that is being offered by VETA, Why then are we employing people from outside and let our own people suffer? and when we employ them why then do we let them mistreat our people like that? </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">One thing that people forget is this "If your country were you come from was all that good, why then did you have to leave and work somewhere else?" obviously you could not get a better job in your country, you could not get a job that would have paid you as much as you are being paid here in your own country and that is why you are in our country right now, so instead of looking down on us you are supposed to respect us, because "we are home" we have not gone anywhere because we have chosen to stick to own country.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Mistreating the people of the country where you are earning your leaving is like 'Cutting off the hand that is feeding you" and we all know that is stupid.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Remember what happened in South Africa? how they got tired of being mistreated and started killing foreigners? that is what will happen in this country one day if this trend does not stop. It is about time all foreigners starts realising that this is 21st century, and people's minds and eyes are wide open. They see what is happening but they choose to stay calm and let the day pass. Have they ever thought of what will happen the day people of this country gets tired of this bull shit?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I see people being brought here from India, they can barely speak English let alone write their own names. They are brought here, we teach them work and the next thing we know they have been promoted to become our bosses and they get paid in dollars. They are given places to stay, Cars, and everything else that a local person would only dream of and never get. Do not bite a hand that feeds you, thank God for the opportunities to earn a living that you have been given, and Thank the people of this country for letting you live in our streets, eat our food and work our jobs.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">And to our government, especially our immigration department, we know that there is a limited number of expatriates that each and every company is supposed to have, and also a limited number of years that a person is allowed to live and work in this country. But we are witnessing companies with so many expatriates to the extent that we know that the standard limit has been exceeded. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The immigration officials are famous in asking and receiving bribes in large sums just in order to allow these people to work in our country. We are not against having foreigners in our countries, but all we want is for their number to be limited and their durations of stay also. I know ten or more people who have been in this country for more than ten years, does it mean that no Local person has been able to be trained and assume those responsibilities? Are Tanzanian That dumb?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I ask myself all the above questions, but I never get an answer. But since we work with these people and we know how long they have stayed here may be it is about time we start exposing them, and also expose those immigration officials who are constantly being bribed. It is about time that the children of this country get the jobs that they deserve. Thousands of university graduates are jobless, we surely do not need accountants being employed from abroad, do we? It is about time someone does something. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Minister for Labour and your people, internal affairs ministry and all those responsible should start doing your jobs.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>~ I'm just saying ~ </b></span></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02087310173625610498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4771608326059318515.post-68549016013353239492012-06-06T06:07:00.000-07:002012-07-11T05:01:09.557-07:00LULU<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Tomorrow 7th June 2012 will be exactly two months since the passing away of Tanzania's jewel and most favourite actor Steven Kanumba. His lifetime work and legacy is a treasure that young and aspiring actors will always look up to, he was someone that most young actors wished to become in the future. Kanumba was among a handful Bongo celebrities whose works as artists changed their lives as well as the lives of a lot other people that he helped morally and professionally in his short life.

In some cases they get the right bad guy, but in some cases they simply dump everything on the closet person 'to the bad guy" that they get.

From the moment she was arrested for murder, her life as she knows it came to an end. This teenage girl will never again know the freedom of simply being free. It does not matter whether she will be acquitted of the charges or convicted, her life is over. She simply will never be able to live a carefree life that she was used to, this society as I know it will always be pointing fingers at her as the girl who killed Kanumba, it does not matter if she did it or not.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUcftbyxRRjTd6JsBTxPwHDK_Nb5CnWIX1BbvrAtMiWD0iOEcwPGsT7nE7rIzbAEvr51mMO31ekfTDGqRXAZpZZj55ype78aPlYjnQq8vUqtgtMzeNM-_8nzMH490igqBEE-oszCLJ5-GO/s1600/lulu-funeral.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUcftbyxRRjTd6JsBTxPwHDK_Nb5CnWIX1BbvrAtMiWD0iOEcwPGsT7nE7rIzbAEvr51mMO31ekfTDGqRXAZpZZj55ype78aPlYjnQq8vUqtgtMzeNM-_8nzMH490igqBEE-oszCLJ5-GO/s400/lulu-funeral.jpg" width="300" /></span></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;"><b>Lulu</b></span></td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Lulu has not been very "society friendly" for a long time.

All these people, if you ask them they will tell you what it feels like to live under public and media's scrutiny.

I say Lulu has had a rebelling teenage. Most of the things she has done is what is being done by 80% of teenage girls nowadays. Yeah yeah yeah, no parent wants to hear that, but that is the truth. We can point fingers because all humans are good at that, but if you are a parent you better be damn sure that you actually know what your kid is capable of before you start pointing fingers at other people's children. Simply because you have not seen your teenage kid on the cover of "udaku paper" it does not mean she is clean, it simply means she is not famous that's all. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhItxQTR2RgILSuFXlDEBgusPLVxlUAS6CGSPsBQB8AXF6YGbv504D1dphZeCOpLHfybzWLJ5Y_7jm7HvQ3CRw2VMtk4hZ0bK8I1-GfcLruVqtl7sms3PUDtDJdVO-Udx2W1-2dLi9MICh7/s1600/Kanumba+Lulu.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhItxQTR2RgILSuFXlDEBgusPLVxlUAS6CGSPsBQB8AXF6YGbv504D1dphZeCOpLHfybzWLJ5Y_7jm7HvQ3CRw2VMtk4hZ0bK8I1-GfcLruVqtl7sms3PUDtDJdVO-Udx2W1-2dLi9MICh7/s400/Kanumba+Lulu.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">If only she had known!</span></td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">My heart goes out to Lulu, whether she killed <a href="http://bongodailytz.blogspot.com/2012/04/elizabeth-michael-aka-lulu-amemuua.html" target="_blank">Kanumba or not is irrelevant</a>. Unless enough evidence to change my mind have been discovered, that is my stand. And it will be so until the truth has come to light.

This girl contacted UTI (urinary infection) in prison, and the next day I saw a paper with a headline which reads that she has contacted a life threatening disease in her female organs. Can you believe it? in this country 80% of women have contacted UTI at one point or the other, and I do not see them appearing as headlines on news papers.After all a person's medical condition is supposed to be "confidential" right? so how did they come to know of this?</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOpLcI2PZnas4yrcnkp0FNIwC4JfGk7eKnEt_KLr2T9hbwlXgqKIUlMhZdayepNCZrgNwRGwgDGz3ZfJlUOXe2jY8S8TFqL7vp8MKgQ-LzhKoSwTsl7RbzUlPga2GQUEaNn-nKP1eKIU8-/s1600/2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOpLcI2PZnas4yrcnkp0FNIwC4JfGk7eKnEt_KLr2T9hbwlXgqKIUlMhZdayepNCZrgNwRGwgDGz3ZfJlUOXe2jY8S8TFqL7vp8MKgQ-LzhKoSwTsl7RbzUlPga2GQUEaNn-nKP1eKIU8-/s400/2.jpg" width="364" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">And people were buying this paper, and the news paper company get richer and richer on a daily basis. Anyway, its no secret that these publishers are like devils who feasts on other people's misfortunes, especially celebrities(Wema Sepetu, Sinta, Lulu, Kanumba, Wolper and Uwoya are just some of them), but still I personally think that these publishers are soulless, and I mean all of them, the owner, the editor and his whole team. Since the passing of Kanumba these people have had only one topic "Kanumba" at least if it is not him then it is Lulu then, which is also Kanumba related anyway. You wonder how people forget so easily how it feels to be at the other end of the sword, but as long as we are not yet dead then we are yet to pay for our sins, time will come. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiss4YMsg-kL_Dx-UH0Al_cnSSpcqXsjHnz-mUdaAyUpy7k0BNi5cKOgFAVVpQCzSr-vRvfml1GBGDlxFTv3yjP_NL9or6rjlpE1ekXaNm6wBZiEzOkzP1oO11LuHfZIKDMDGE7_5Y4AaaD/s1600/3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiss4YMsg-kL_Dx-UH0Al_cnSSpcqXsjHnz-mUdaAyUpy7k0BNi5cKOgFAVVpQCzSr-vRvfml1GBGDlxFTv3yjP_NL9or6rjlpE1ekXaNm6wBZiEzOkzP1oO11LuHfZIKDMDGE7_5Y4AaaD/s400/3.jpg" width="372" /></a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><a href="http://bongodailytz.blogspot.com/2012/04/lulu-that-girl-kasichana-kale-by.html" target="_blank">I believe that everybody has got the right to be heard</a>, and before condemning this girl we should hear her side of the story.

It occurs in only one place worldwide. Its blue, surrounded by a fine hint of purple, is a wonderful colour. Thanks to its unusual aura, it has rapidly become one of the most coveted gemstones in the world. It is named after the East African country of Tanzania, the only place in the world where it has been found. Africa? Does anyone think of gemstones when they hear that name? Well they should, because Africa is a continent which provides the world with a multitude of truly magnificent gemstones, like tanzanite for example. </span></h1></div><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><img alt="Tanzanite" border="0" height="466" src="http://www.nebrafco.com/Stones%20Web/images/Tanzanite.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="475" /></span></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">Tanzanites</span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></td></tr></tbody></table><center style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">On its discovery in 1967, it was enthusiastically celebrated by the specialists as the 'gemstone of the 20th century'. They held their breath in excitement as they caught sight of the first deep-blue crystals which had been found in the Mererani Hills near Arusha in the north of Tanzania. Millions of years ago, metamorphic schists, gneisses and quartzites formed impressive, flat-topped inselbergs on a vast plain in the shadow of Kilimanjaro. The precious crystals grew in deposits on the inside of these unusual elevations. For a long, long time they were hidden from the eye of Man, until one day some passing Masai shepherds noticed some sparkling crystals lying in the sun and took them along with them. </span></center><center><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #663333;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></span></div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://www.jungleadventuretanzania.4mg.com/NEW-IMG/tanzanite_rough_1.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="591" /></span></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">Raw Tanzanite directly from the mine</span></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">Manuel de Souza, a Goan tailor and part-time gold prospector living in Arusha (Tanzania), found transparent fragments of vivid blue and blue-purple gem crystals on a ridge near Mererani, some 40 km southeast of Arusha. He decided that the mineral was olivine (peridot) but quickly realized that it was not, so he took to calling it "dumortierite", a blue non-gem mineral. Shortly thereafter, D'Souza showed the stones to John Saul, a Nairobi-based consulting geologist and gemstone wholesaler who was then mining aquamarine in the region around Mount Kenya. </div></span></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></center><center><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Saul, with a Ph.D. from M.I.T., who later discovered the famous ruby deposits in the Tsavo area of Kenya, eliminated dumortierite and cordierite as possibilities, and sent samples to his father, Hyman Saul, vice president at Saks Fifth Avenue in New York. Hyman Saul brought the samples across the street to the Gemological Institute of America who correctly identified the new gem as a variety of the mineral zoisite. Correct identification was also made by mineralogists at Harvard University, the British Museum, and Heidelberg University, but the very first person to get the identification right was Ian McCloud, a Tanzanian government geologist based in Dodoma</span></div><span style="color: #663333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div></span></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #663333;"><span style="color: #663333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></span></center><br /><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://www.jungleadventuretanzania.4mg.com/NEW-IMG/tanzanite.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="392" /></span></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">Heat treated Tanzanite (Notice the velvet violet colour)</span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><center><span style="color: #663333;"><span style="color: #663333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"></span></span></center><center><div class="wp-caption alignleft" id="attachment_223" style="width: 310px;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><img alt="Tanzanite Engagement Rings" class="size-full wp-image-223" height="400" src="http://jewellery-rings.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/tanzanite-rings.jpg" title="tanzanite-rings" width="400" /></span></div><div class="wp-caption-text" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> <i> Tanzanite Engagement Rings</i></span></div><div class="wp-caption-text" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="wp-caption-text"></div><div id="big-img-1" style="left: 0px; top: 0px;"></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Displaying the good-looking possessions of polychromaticity, tanzanite exhibits dissimilar colors at what time viewed from dissimilar angles. It might come into view purple from one point of view, azure from the next, and yellow brownish from the third point of view. Many Hollywood stars and starlets have also adorned themselves with tanzanite. Stars like Salma Hayek, Elle Mac Pherson, Natsha McElhone, Cate Blanchett, Bond girl and golden globe best actress winner Teri Hatcher, and many others have been spotted wearing tanzanite.</span></div></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></center><br /><h4> </h4><h4> <center style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Effects of "Tanzanite" on Tanzanian Economy</span></center></h4><br /><center style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">To many outsiders who have never been to Tanzania having a precious gemstone named after your country seems like a cool thing, but its not.

The name means 'Mountain of God' in the language of the Masai people who inhabit this area. Ol doinyo Lengai is a unique and extremely fascinating volcano that towers above the <strong>East African Rift Valley </strong>in Northern Tanzania, just south of Lake Natron. It is located on the way between Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti and is part of many of our itineraries. Geologists are particularly interested in Ol doinyo Lengai because It is the only volcano in the world that erupts natrocarbonatite lava, a highly fluid lava that contains almost no silicon. Oldoinyo Lengai is also the only active volcano in this part of the Rift Valley, though there are many older extinct volcanoes in this region. The mountain rises a startling 2,886 m/9,469 ft above the parched Rift Valley floor. </span></div><div align="justify" class="style140"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><div align="justify" class="style140"></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><img alt="" id="pbImage370339" src="http://oldoinyolengai.pbworks.com/f/1294012849/chargingrhino.jpg" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="677" /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><small><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Eruption of T58C on July 15, 2004</span></small></strong></div><br /><br /><div align="justify" class="style140"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Referred to as the strangest volcano on Earth, Ol doinyo Lengai earns its reputation when it erupts. Unusually cool, highly fluid lava produces a whimsical world of geologic fantasies that include extrusions frozen in flight. These natrocarbonatite flows have a chemical composition akin to laundry soap, and exposed to the atmosphere, <strong>the lava quickly hardens and decays</strong>. Unlike common basalt lavas, which are sticky with silica, Lengai’s lavas are mostly slick sodium carbonate with the viscosty of olive oil. <strong>Volcanic froth rich in carbon dioxide</strong> can spew into the air as liquid lava and harden in midair. Some of the big drops can form little parachutes, and look like silver flying through the air before hitting the ground with the sound of breaking glass. Lengai’s Dr. Seussian formations can crumble a day after they are born, and you can judge their age by their color. Even raindrops accelerate the decomposition.</span></div><div align="justify" class="style140"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPaLiRMTHEXEl5HkUL1LzwF51JkD2u_nuO4R5vOvhd0cT4Ot7o_EQcy3j7-9Ux_fnq1NPQqpHE_f-tcmyHHd9cL-ys5IhLwbPvfhotQFigRz71i6vmmSPyZ89rw97no5lZznX_riEHo5zt/s1600/OL-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><img border="0" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPaLiRMTHEXEl5HkUL1LzwF51JkD2u_nuO4R5vOvhd0cT4Ot7o_EQcy3j7-9Ux_fnq1NPQqpHE_f-tcmyHHd9cL-ys5IhLwbPvfhotQFigRz71i6vmmSPyZ89rw97no5lZznX_riEHo5zt/s640/OL-3.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></div><div align="justify" class="style140"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div></td> </tr></tbody></table><table border="0" cellpadding="10" style="width: 0px;"> <tbody><tr> <td><div align="justify" class="style140"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><strong>Wildlife<br /> </strong>There is little wildlife on this mountain besides small antelope, reptiles, and insects, but birdlife is quite extensive along the routes.</span></div><div align="justify" class="style140"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><div align="justify" class="style140"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><strong>How To Get There </strong><br /> Ol doinyo Lengai is located between the Serengeti and Ngorongoro along Tanzania's northern circuit.

It is the only volcano in the world that sometimes erupts natrocarbonatite lava, a highly fluid lava that contains almost no silicon. Natrocarbonatite lava is also much cooler than other lavas, being only about 950 degrees F (510 degrees C) compared to temperatures over 2000 degrees F (~1100 degrees C) for basaltic lavas. Natrocarbonatite is the most fluid lava in the world. Lava with a low gas content can flow like a whitewater stream, and actually has a viscosity near that of water. Natrocarbonatite lava glows orange at night, but is not nearly as bright as silicon-based lavas since it is not as hot. </span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">During the day it is not incandescent; most flows look like very fluid black oil, or brown foam, depending on the gas content. In the past, some visitors to the crater believed they were seeing mud flows. Most newly solidified lava is black and contains crystals that sparkle brightly in the sun. There are also sometimes small flows known as "squeeze-ups" that are light gray when they flow and harden. </span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br /><br /> <img alt="" border="0" height="370" src="http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/ngm/0301/feature2/images/ft_hdr.2.jpg" width="545" /><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Contact with moisture rapidly turns natrocarbonatite lava white because of chemical reactions that occur when the lava absorbs water. Eventually the water absorption process turns lava flows into soft brown powder. During dry weather the whitening of flows happens over a period of a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on the thickness of the flow. In rainy weather the lava surface turns white immediately. In parts of the crater that have been inactive for several months, the ground is light brown/white and so soft that one sinks into it when walking.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Ol Doinyo Lengai also has phases of explosive activity during which the composition of the lava may contain much more silicate material, reducing its viscosity. In this type of eruption there is no fluid lava and activity takes the form of ash eruptions accompanied by ejection of blocks and bombs. However, initial phases of an explosive eruption may include strong lava fountains. The two most recent explosive eruptions occurred during 1966-1967 and 2007-2008.<br /><br /> Since the mid 1980's, lava flows, and to a much lesser extent, explosive eruptions, have been witnessed by many observers of Ol Doinyo Lengai. Natrocarbonatite lava eruptions are usually centered in one or more small cones that have been formed on the crater floor by previous eruptions of lava. These eruptions have typically taken the form of open lava pools or lakes that may or may not be overflowing, lava flows issuing from holes or cracks inside or near the base of the cones, or lava splashes or fountains from the summit vents of the cones. </span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The activity is not well understood but is thought to be a function of the plumbing of the crater, the level of the lava within the plumbing, and the gas content of the lava. No one knows what causes the lava to flow out at any particular time or how the various vents in the crater are interconnected. Mineralogists would like to understand how the lava evolves under the surface and why it has its unusual chemical composition, but that also is unknown, although there are several theories. Finally, no one has any idea why the pattern of frequent small lava flows gave way to explosive activity at the end of August 2007 and how that may have related to earthquakes in the region during the previous two months.</span><br /><br /><br /><img alt="" id="pbImage370339" src="http://oldoinyolengai.pbworks.com/f/1294012849/chargingrhino.jpg" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="677" /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><small><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">Eruption of T58C on July 15, 2004</span></small></strong></div><br /><br /></td></tr></tbody></table>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02087310173625610498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4771608326059318515.post-17723349367770812722012-05-31T06:39:00.000-07:002012-07-11T05:01:10.185-07:00Famous Photographs<div style="text-align: justify;"> <strong><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">01.

A wise man once said " count your blessings" and that is what I am doing today, I'm simply counting my blessings. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">God has been good to me, so good.

I know you would do anything for me, as much as I would do anything for you. Your Joy is my Happiness and Your sorrow is my mourn. I did not choose you, I could not have done this well.

I strongly support the fact that People of Zanzibar have a right to express their thoughts as to what they think is better for the welfare of Zanzibar and its people. It is the right that any democratic state should grant its people. I believe that the people of Zanzibar have very solid and valid reasons of opposing the Union. And I believe that it is the duty of the state to grant them an opportunity to express these reasons freely and openly without being threatened in any way. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">What I am opposing is the fact that they are mixing "<i><b>Religion with Politics</b></i>" For people who are sane they should be knowing that mixing these two things is like creating a ticking bomb. The world has already seen what happens when these two things are mixed up, and it is usually never good. If they are opposing Muungano, why then burn churches? Zanzibar is not an Islamic state, and Tanzania Mainland is not a Christianity state so where is the logic behind rioting against the Union while burning churches?. Why then destroy and take away the freedom of worship of minority Zanzibarians who are Christians? </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">In fact what is a "Sheikh" doing addressing the masses on non- religious issues anyway? isn't there a boundary somewhere? and why does their government let them get away with it? or may be they actually support them behind the curtain. If not then somebody better give me a sound explanation of what is happening in Zanzibar, is it <b>Jihad</b>? or is it merely riots opposing The Union?</span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> Tanzanian people in mainland have formed a bond, we do not discriminate each other based on religions, we do not define each other based on "<i><b>what you believe or where what pray or where you worship"</b></i>. Hard work and personal character is what defines us. We are co-existing in peace and harmony, we are all "one nation" after all. So what these people in Zanzibar are doing is a threat to this relationship and bond that we have here, they want us to start identifying each other based on religion? Too dangerous, I say we let them go and leave us with our peace. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I believe that there are minority Christians in Zanzibar, who by birth are Zanzibarians. So by burning churches are they sending them a message that they are also not needed there? And must Zanzibarians always fight? They always seem to find a reason to riot and burn stuff. I condemn these violence against Christians and their institutions and properties, and I condemn any one who is leading, entertaining and supporting this kind of movement. This is 21st Century, we are not in 13century any more, for all those who wish to fight and create wars based on religion I think you are all living in the wrong century.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I personally support them on their cause of being against "Muungano" mainly because I think Zanzibar is a leech that is sucking away all blood from Tanzania mainland and there are so many people here in mainland supporting this too, but I do not see them burning churches or mosques, because its not about religion, this is all about Politics.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">One more thing that Zanzibarians needs to ask themselves is this "Do they really wish to be known world wide as a nation that opposes Christianity openly?" especially considering that half of their income is generated from tourism. Its a stupid move, whether they agree or not, no tourist will feel safe going in a country that openly burns churches, no one with their right state of mind anyway. Because whether they wish to admit it or not half of the tourists comes from countries like US, European countries, and Scandinavian countries, and these are countries with a majority of citizens that celebrates "Easter and Christmas"</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> I think these people who are rioting needs to get their facts straight, they do not want Union that's fine, but they should stay away from churches and mosques. The government of Zanzibar should try and prosecute all these people involved in all these "<i><b>arsonic</b></i>" activities, This Should include this Sheikh who is leading these demonstrations in my opinion he should be the number one accused person. The last time I checked the penalty for arson is life or death. So they have to do something, strong measures in fact or else their economy is going down</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">And "Tanganyika" wake up!!! Let go of these racist, discriminating people, they call us "Chogo" when we go there. We can not work freely, open a business freely not even move around freely without being bugged that you are a chogo. Meanwhile we have so many Zanzibarians here, working our jobs, trading in our markets, having shops in our streets and we say nothing. Are we deaf? dumb? or stupid? </span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This union is taking us downhill. We are helping them with Electricity lighting their homes and streets and this is how they repay us? </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">They want to be like Southern Sudan that's Fine with me, anything to bring to an end this parasitic Union.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Burning anything to Justify your cause is barbaric, They should be ashamed of themselves.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i><b>Should we start sending their "Pemba" brothers who are scattered all over mainland home?, should we start burning their homes and businesses? should we sack them from our Industries?
