The 19 Best TV Couples Of 2014

No comments

2014 was a beautiful year for love (and sex!) on television. There were breakups (sniff sniff, Joelia), makeups (Haleb!), babies, weddings, and enough shipper-feuds to fuel a World War III on Tumblr.
We don’t want to focus on the negative, though — or the highly shipped pairings that haven’t managed to get their acts together yet — so below find the 19 best TV couples that were actually together in 2014. (Sorry, Olicity.)
  1. Diggle and Lyla, “Arrow”

    tumblr_naibk6SMhz1t2zwivo3_r1_500
    Thank you, Diggle and Lyla, for giving us a glimmer of hope that love in Starling City can actually work out.
  2. Booth and Brennan, “Bones”

    tumblr_m32a15idYs1qawbrbo1_500
    Real people should not date their coworkers. But as Brennan and Booth (and several others on this list) have shown time and time again, it works out just fine when it’s on television.
  3. Castle and Beckett, “Castle”

    castle8
    Same goes for these two. They’re in it for the long haul.
  4. Ilana and Lincoln, “Broad City”

    Ilana-as-Lincolns-legs-dancing-on-Broad-City-GIF
    Ilana isn’t exactly the best when it comes to commitment, but we still love watching her “purely sexual” relationship with the world’s sweetest DDS, Lincoln. Here’s to hoping these two crazy kids make it work in Season 2.
  5. Connor and Oliver, “How to Get Away With Murder”

    tumblr_ndm1deNXuI1shb5i6o8_500
    Connor can be a lying, cheating bastard, but these two have some of the hottest, most boundary-breaking sex on TV, so. Also, when they’re playing nice they’re completely adorable, and what nerd doesn’t want to bag a dude like Connor?
  6. Caleb and Hanna, “Pretty Little Liars”

    hanna-and-caleb-dressing-room
    Not even A — or a short-lived spin-off — could keep these two impeccably coiffed lovebirds apart. Hanna and Caleb are easy to root for since literally other “Liar” significant other has committed a major act of betrayal, so they were definitely a shoo-in for this list.
  7. Alison and Donnie, “Orphan Black”

    tumblr_n76eet5vND1sbaphio5_500
    The couple that hides bodies together, stays together. And earns a spot on my “Best Couples” list. (Seriously though, who would have thought that Donnie Hendrix would be such a breakout character in Season 2? We even forgive the whole Monitor thing — kind of.)
  8. Oberyn and Ellaria, “Game of Thrones”

    534206281379d1442812c366_ellaria-oberyn-sex
    These two threw the hottest group sex parties in town — and that’s saying something, since the town in question is King’s Landing.
  9. Andy and April, “Parks and Recreation”

    andy1
    Only a couple as nontraditional and fun-loving as Andy and April can make a divorce seem like the coolest thing ever.
  10. Clara and Danny, “Doctor Who”

    tumblr_nckw4sKWAz1s9c6nao5_500
    Danny Pink — you were the best P.E. teacher the “Doctor Who” fandom could have asked for. And these words are for you… only for you.
  11. Jake and Olivia, “Scandal”

    tumblr_nfdca1V8nz1rt41f1o4_500
    Their time in the sun may have been short, but damn was it sweet. (And really, really hot.)
  12. Damon and Elena, “The Vampire Diaries”

    giphy
    Will they? Won’t they? They will. They always will — I mean, even erasing all of her positive memories of their time together couldn’t erase her instinctual feelings for the dude. Delena are forever.
  13. Regina and Robin Hood, “Once Upon a Time”

    tumblr_n4psmvgpUh1rudlqeo7_500
    Sign us up for Operation Mongoose, because we think these two deserve their happy ending. Stay dead, Marian.
  14. Mindy and Danny, “The Mindy Project”

    tumblr_mleylzsKWb1qdlubpo1_400
    So many people — myself included — were nervous about these two getting together. Boy, were we wrong — Mindy and Danny hooking up has only made “Mindy” stronger. So many comedies have a hard time making couples work after the initial build-up, so it’s a joy to watch a show succeed in writing a real, fun, interesting relationship. Is Danny a wish-fulfillment character? Sure! But that doesn’t change the fact that we never want these two to break up.
  15. Castiel and Dean, “Supernatural”

    tumblr_n5pr1oDi3Z1tzqcsqo8_500
    It’s just so great seeing these two manly-men out and proud, doing their thing on television. Wait, what? They’re not…? But… but… the subtext?
  16. Philip and Elizabeth, “The Americans”

    the-americans-gif-keri-russell-casal
    Sure, they didn’t choose each other — Mother Russia did that for them. But Philip and Elizabeth’s love has begun to blossom over a decade into their relationship, and watching this fascinating, antihero couple (anti-couple?) try to raise their American children while literally committing murder and deceiving everybody else in their lives is one of the best things happening on television. And the wigs! Oh, the wigs.
  17. Adam and Kristina, “Parenthood”

    tumblr_lixxn2Ttiv1qbjttio1_500
    Through everything from career failures to cancer to heartbreaking setbacks with their autistic son, Adam and Kristina have weathered the storm, and they always come out stronger for it. Their love for each other and their children is an inspiration for us all — you hear that, Joel and Julia?
  18. Ben and Leslie, “Parks and Recreation”

    tumblr_md7g7cvH4s1qhsefao1_500
    Oh, Bleslie. (Len?) Watching you meet, fall in love, marry, have three children (all at once!) and eat waffles together has been one of the television highlights of this past decade. Never change.
  19. Glenn and Maggie, “The Walking Dead”

    The-Walking-Dead-Maggie-Greene-image-the-walking-dead-maggie-greene-36809849-500-249-1415809062
    If you didn’t tear up when Glenn and Maggie found each other before their ill-advised stint at Terminus, then you’re as inhuman as a Walker. Their relationship is easy to root for since it’s set against the backdrop of the apocalypse, but still — mad props for bringing joy and hope to the bleakest show on television.
What was your favorite TV couple of 2014? Did we leave anybody out? Vote in our poll below, and be sure to defend your choices in the comments!

FOR WOMEN: HERE ARE SOME OF THE QUALITIES THAT MEN CONSIDER TO BE WIFE MATERIAL THAT WILL SHOCK YOU!!!

No comments


1. “Ability to hold conversations”

Men love to talk too, they value conversations with the one they love. No man wants to come home to a wife with whom he has nothing to say. He wants laughter, real talk, serious talk, engaging stories.



2. “Ability to easily turn on”

A man wants a sexy wife, a woman who easily pushes his buttons and he can look at and crave for. He wants to share forever and remain faithful to a sexy woman who connects with his kind of sexiness. 
3. “Motherliness”

With marriage comes the possibility of having children; whether those children are biological or adopted. A man wants not just a good wife but a good mother. She has to have nurturing qualities and ability to keep a house in order. If she is a single mother, he studies how that woman treats her own child/ children.

4. “Ability to improve him”

A man needs a helper, he knows he needs help even though he may not admit it. He wants someone who will correct him with tender love, better him, inspire him, encourage him, be his pillar pushing him to growth. He looks at the woman and asks “Besides being sexy and beautiful, what value can she add to my life?”

5. “Maturity”

Marriage is not for girls but grown women. A grown man looks for a grown woman to settle down with, a woman who has shed off her childish tendencies and wants something real. He will look at what excites her, how she carries herself; is she ready for a grown man’s love and responsibility, or is she still a girl in a woman’s body? He will not baby sit in marriage.

 6. “Emotional stability”

Everyone has emotions, even men; question is, do you have control over your emotions? A man wants a wife who will be true to her emotions but not allowing her emotions to influence her decisions. Is her temper out of control, is she an alcoholic, is she having low self-esteem, is she insecure in an unhealthy way? He doesn’t want an emotional wreck who is irrational, doing and saying things out of impulsive and misplaced emotions. He wants a solid and consistent woman, anchored in certainty, a Queen in charge of herself.

 7. “Ability to partner”

A man wants a woman to work with, a compatible partner to submit to love with. Some women are hard-headed, know it alls, too independent and rigid to the point that the thought of having a home with them and living together is like inviting war. He wants no headaches but a woman he can reason with, compromise with, form a formidable team with.

8. “Character strength”

Character is crucial, for charm and physical beauty will one day age but character affects every aspect of life. He will study her reputation, how she talks, how she thinks. He wants a woman who will be a role model to their children, a woman he will want his daughter to grow up to be like.

9. “Ability to challenge”

A man wanting a serious marriage goes for more than a pretty face, he goes for a woman with ambition and self-drive, a woman who can hold her own, one he can be proud of and say “That’s my woman”, a woman who puts him on his toes to man up, a woman demanding his best, a woman who fires him up just watching her going after her dreams; a woman whose life doesn’t revolve around him but outside what she and him have, she has a lot of good going on. Passion in a woman is attractive.

10. “Ability to cover him”

A woman who can keep a man’s secrets, weaknesses, mistakes and shortcomings wins his trust. He wants a wife who will cover him, clothe his nakedness and defend his honor. One who will fight battles with him and for him because that will make him go to any lengths to keep her by his precious


11. “Friendship”

Marriage lasts and is strongest and sweetest when you are married to your best friend; that friend you know everything about yet never leave, that friend who looks out for you, who sometimes can offend you but is too valuable to let go; stuck with each other through thick and thin.

12. “Loyalty”


A man looks for loyalty; a woman who is dependable, whose commitment is unwavering no matter what circumstances, rumors, friends, family say about him.

 13. “Quality of her friends”


 You know a person by their friends. A man will pay close attention to her friends as this reveals a lot about her. A woman’s friends can be a stumbling block to a fruitful marriage, they have a lot of influence; they can feed her wrong ideas or sharpen her to greatness, they can wrongly advice her or rightly support her in building the best kind of love.

14. “Ability to be lovable”

Some women, though beautiful, are not lovable. They put up walls and make the man struggle just to love her. A man wants a wife receptive to his love, one easy to love, approachable, open to his affection.

15. “Ability to bring out the husband in him”

A wife material kind of woman makes a man want to be a husband. She is the type who will make him want to propose, want to be a father, want to say “I love you”, a keeper. Because of her, he does amazing things he never thought he was capable of, he looks at himself and sees husband material ready for her

SECRET TRICKS THAT WILL MAKE ANY WOMAN FALL IN LOVE WITH YOU { A MUST READ}

No comments


Are the ladies giving you a hard time? Are you one of those men who have never been that suave ladies man but always wanted to be? Do you think the ladies are the problem? or is it you?


Author and professional pick up artist Joshua Pellicer has written a book that can help you overcome your fears of approaching women and will give you the skills to pick up any woman you want! He has appeared on many radio talk shows, television interviews and now hosts his own radio talk show called “Game On” which provides dating tips for men.
Does it work? Well… just listen to a few of his free tips with girls and strange facts in the video at the bottom of this article and you’ll totally get what I’m talking about… The guy is a friggin genius and I wish I had known about these tips a long time ago. I would have been able
to take advantage of dozens of situations to easily nail it and get the girl.
The book is based on Joshua’s research in psychology, self help books and dating programs he has been through, and his experience.  Joshua himself proclaims to previously have been unsuccessful with women. He developed his own theory and system, based on a lot of research, which is now spreading like wild fire throughout the world and is being used by hundreds and thousands of men internationally. This book is literally a bestseller, and I must tell you, at first, I was very skeptical about this whole thing, but when the tips started flowing and I started realizing and understanding female behavior, it’s as if I became a lion hunting for prey. My self confidence has risen so much since I started using the techniques in his book. If you’re struggling with girls, you owe it to yourself. This book is a must-have for any 18+ single dude out-there, trust me on this one!
When you join this program, you’ll get a book and videos teaching you about how to alter your perception of women as well as what they are looking for in a man, to help you overcome your fear of approaching them. This is done in several ways:
First, Joshua breaks some myths about women’s expectations of men. He discusses common mistakes both men and women make in the dating world. Here are some examples:
It is a misconception that women are attracted to money. They are attracted to success, in whatever form that may be. Just because you do not have money does not mean the woman will not like you. Be confident.
It is not all about what magazines tell you about outer appearance. 97% of women say that bald heads can be sexy. 89% of women find that big, steroid muscles on men can be repulsive. It is not about your looks. It is about the vibe you give out. It is about attracting her.
He also teaches you how to exude confidence.
Pellicer teaches body language in both men and women. He teaches how to read a woman’s body language and send the messages you want with yours.
For example, here are some free tips I’m sharing with you, these tips will make a huge difference right away in your approach when you talk to a girl, and that’s just a small drop in the ocean of super cool and easy tips the dude has to share, so check these free tips out:
When approaching a woman, do not face your chest straight toward her too early. This can seem both intimidating and needy. Keep your chest slightly turned away at first.
When you are speaking with a woman, look at a her mouth. This is called a “sexual trigger” and makes the woman subconsciously think of sleeping with you. Do not do this the whole time, because she might think you are strange and creepy. But take glances at her lips occasionally.
In his book, Joshua also gives some unbelievable pick up lines as well as explaining how to hold a conversation that is sure to impress…
With these tips, rules, and guides (and many more within the book), Joshua states that he can turn most men into dating machines!
A fellow dating program author, Goran Nikilov, said “This  dating book for males is awesome but for those who do not know how to approach females it is a must, for the ones who have that fear of rejection in them – especially!”
The bottom line is that this guide will teach you how to attract a lot of women if you practice practice practice, but don’t expect it to work overnight.
If you’re into it, Check out the book for more info and see for yourself why The Tao of Badass has become an Internet sensation and the #1 Dating eBook around the world for guys like us!

'Ronaldo & Messi should share Ballon d'Or'

 'Ronaldo & Messi should share Ballon d'Or'
The Barcelona and Real Madrid aces are again favourites to lift the prize in January, but one Manchester United legend feels both should be awarded after similarly impressive years

Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi should share this year's Ballon d'Or, according to Manchester United legend Denis Law.

While Law – the only Scot to be crowned European Footballer of the Year back in 1964 – has praised Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer for his exploits in making the three-man shortlist for the game's most prestigious individual award, the 74-year-old cannot look past either Ronaldo or Messi collecting it on January 12.

Real Madrid star Ronaldo was victorious in 2013 and 2008, with Barcelona talisman Messi selected four years in a row in between.

However, Law does not feel there is a clear-cut winner this time around, prompting the idea of the first time that the trophy has been shared.

"They're extraordinary; two of the best we've ever seen," Law told Fifa's official website. "I don't envy the people voting, trying to separate those two.

"It's completely different to my era as we didn't have two players dominating in the way these guys have. And in a way, it might be nice to see someone else win it.

"Neuer is a great keeper and a world champion, after all. But it's not like he's up against two ordinary players.

"It would actually be nice if there could be a joint-winner because it's so hard to split Messi and Ronaldo this year. They're both fantastic, exciting players to watch and play and score goals at such a consistent level.

"When you think of Messi, the size he is and the tackles he has to face every game, I'm full of admiration for him.

"But then Ronaldo is outstanding too, and has that physical presence too. Whichever of them wins will deserve it, and whichever of them loses can consider themselves very unfortunate."

Govt: We’re probing

No comments
Agriculture, Food Security and Cooperatives Minister Christopher Chiza talks to journalists on the sugar pileup contentions in Dar es Salaam yesterday.
The government will launch a special probe to clear contradictory reports regarding sugar supply in the country, Minister for Food Security and Cooperatives Chrispher Chiza told journalists in Dar es Salaam yesterday.

However, the minister said there is real possibility of bad elements creating artificial ‘sugar floods’ and sugar scarcity.

The minister queried: “Why does the problem of ‘sugar floods’ only occur at Mtibwa, Kilombero and Kagera factories, and not TPC?”

The minister said that sometimes problems arise because of conflicts between sugar cane farmers and sugar producers, and not the market.

“Some local producers own sugar industries outside the country and they could well be the ones importing the commodity. What’s worse is that they too complain about the prevailing situation,” he said.

“How is it possible to have sugar in excess in some regions while in others like Mbeya there is serious scarcity?

“Why aren’t producers distributing sugar to areas of scarcity? This is why we want to investigate into the issue and get truth,” he continued.

Chiza dismissed claims that the government had issued sugar importation licenses, a factor alleged to be behind the shortage of the commodity, elaborating that the government never issued any such licenses since 2013/14.

The minister stressed that the government would not issue any licenses for the year 2014/15 because there is enough sugar in the country
He said sugar importation arrangement is a collaborative one, involving several government organs as well as the East African Community (EAC), whose findings are evaluated by the Sugar Board of Tanzania (SBT) to determine the amount of sugar needed in the county.

The minister admitted the existence of sugar smuggling which can be controlled by collaborative efforts, and not just that of the ministry.

Chiza reveled that the government would adopt the tactics it uses in the ongoing fight against drug trafficking in controlling smuggling of sugar.

Meanwhile, he challenged other key players in the sector regarding the abundant supply of industrial sugar in local super markets being sold for human consumption.

 He urged the Tanzania Food and Drug Authority (TFDA) and Tanzania Bureau of standard (TBS) to do their job effectively and educate the public about its chemical composition of industrial sugar as well as its impact on health. “The sugar imported for industrial use and later sold for human consumption has big effect on the sugar market in the country.

 “The government is also planning to introduce bulk importation of sugar, but a challenge emerged when local sugar producers and importers failed to agree who would be the importer,” minister explained. He added that the government has told importers and local sugar producers to sort out the matter and decide who will be the importers to eliminate the existing problems.

However, he said the government would review the sugar importing arrangement and amendment some of the criteria in issuing the import license permits.

“We will not allow traders to create artificial sugar shortage and then make then import and sell it at high price,” he added.

Also, Chiza said the government would review the tax remission for importing industrial sugar, thereby discouraging importers to sell it for human consumption.

The minister said the country has a capacity of producing 300,000 tonnes of sugar annually but the demand is 590,000 tonnes.

 Neymar out of Barcelona clash with Getafe
The 22-year-old attacker has a problem with his ankle and has been withdrawn from the squad for Saturday's clash as a precaution

Neymar has been ruled out of Barcelona's clash with Getafe on Saturday due to an ankle problem.

The Brazilian attacker has been withdrawn as a precaution after complaining of pain in his left ankle during training on Friday.

The 22-year-old scored for his side in midweek as they beat Paris Saint-Germain 3-1 to ensure they progress into the knock-out rounds of the Champions League as group winners.

However, the club have revealed that coach Luis Enrique is taking no chances with the player who has scored 11 league goals so far this term.

Luis Enrique announced a list of 18 players who will travel to Madrid for the weekend's clash, with Dani Alves, who missed the meeting with the Ligue 1 champions, back in the team.

Health surveillance inefficien in Africa, says medical expert

No comments
Jacqueline Uriyo, the Acting Regional Medical Officer
 
The public health disease surveillance in Africa, largely, relies on paper-based systems which are inefficient in capturing disease events that occur in distant rural areas where the majority of Africans live.
 
Jacqueline Uriyo, the Acting Regional Medical Officer, made the remarks here when speaking at the Southern African Centre for Infectious Disease Surveillance’s first EpiHack in Africa, organized in partnership with the East African Integrated Disease Surveillance Network (EAIDSNet) of the East Africa Community.
 
In the EpiHack,  Southern African Centre for Infectious Disease Surveillance,  (SACIDS) is connecting Organizations for Regional Disease Surveillance (CORDS) an international NGO based in Lyon France, Innovative Support to Emergencies Diseases and Disasters (InSTEDD) of Stanford, California and the Skoll Global Threats fund of San Francisco, California.
 
EpiHack connects leading computer technologists/programmers and public and animal health experts to join intensive day events to create, adapt and fine-tune digital tools for national and regional disease surveillance.
 
 EpiHack brings the crucial cross-sector, borderless issue of disease detection to Southern and East African Regions.
Uriyo said: “Such systems, usually fail to facilitate the health systems to effectively identify, prevent and respond to both endemic and periodic impact of infectious diseases.”
 
“This is evidenced by the long-time taken between occurrence of index cases and response to epidemic diseases. For instance, the past Ebola hemorrhagic fever outbreaks were responded to after four to five months since occurrence of an index case.”
 
She said the situation should be reversed through adoption and deployment of digital solutions. “We therefore commend different efforts and initiatives taken by the national, regional and international institutions in seeking for improving early disease detection and response by digital solutions.” 
 
Uriyo commended the efforts by the Southern African Centre for Infectious Disease Surveillance (SACIDS) and the East African Integrated Disease Surveillance Network (EAIDSNet) in collaboration with the Connecting Organizations for Regional Disease Surveillance Network (CORDS) and the Innovative Support to Emergencies Diseases and Disasters (InSTEDD) for spearheading the agenda.
 
“I also recognize the Skoll Global Threats Fund for constant support of Epihack events I am told the Epihack Tanzania is the fourth in a series (and first in Africa) after previous three events being held in South East Asia in Cambodia, Thailand and Laos,” he said.
 
SACIDS official Yunus Karsan said the five-day meeting is set produce important digital tools and deliberations geared towards promoting early detection and response to the deadly diseases as well as neglected tropical conditions prevalent on our African continent.
 
SACIDS is a one health consortium of Southern African academic and research institutions involved with infectious diseases of humans and animals in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Mozambique, South Africa, Zambia and Tanzania.

Ministry reiterates national youth council plans

No comments
James Kajugusi, acting director of the Youth Development Department in the Ministry of Information, Youth, Culture and Sports
The government is planning to set up a National Youth Council (NYC) as a link in outreach activities for various groups of youths and their occupations around the country.
 
Such a council would help the government to overcome various matters pertaining to the mobilization of youths in plans aimed at the development of youths in the country, a senior government official has affirmed.
 
James Kajugusi, the acting director of the Youth Development Department in the Ministry of Information, Youth, Culture and Sports made this observation in Dar es Salaam on the sidelines of an international volunteer day whose national level activities were held in the city.
 
He told The Guardian in an exclusive interview that the government is currently finalizing strategies to set up a national organ which would stand for the welfare of youths regardless of their political affiliations.
 
The position was expressed following demands by the Tanzania Youth Forum (TYF), an organ which for a long time has been urging the government to form a non-partisan body which would look after various challenges affecting youths, including unemployment.
 
TYF through its chairman Fahami Matsawily sent a request to the government almost a year ago to follow examples of Kenya and Uganda which have already established such organs.
 
The annual occasion jointly organized by UN Volunteers in collaboration with the Information ministry in the country was also attended by about four youth volunteering organizations.
 
The latter exhibited products and services to the general public, and are among 34 civil organizations which volunteer activities in the country. They include Restless Development, Volunteers Services Overseas (VSO), Raleigh Tanzania and FourLlife Company.
 
Kajugusi affirmed that forming a youth council follows ratification of the UN Youths Charter 2006, which together with other things requires governments to involve youths in effective economic resources.
 
The ministry is in the pipeline to propose a bill and send to Parliament which would protect the various guidelines helping to lead the processes once it is made to work out.
 
Among the main tasks to be spearheaded by the NYC after its formation is to reduce the rising unemployment rate currently faced by most youths.
 
Together with other things, the council would also ensure youths’ participation in every aspect of national economic development bearing in mind the fact that youths’ contribution to GDP is of   high percentage rates.
 
Youths provide about 75 percent of the total workforce in every aspect of production in areas such as agriculture, fishing, education, industries, mining, livestock keeping, construction and others, the director stated.
 
The National Volunteer Day occasion was under the theme, “the importance of volunteerism for national development” in which youths were urged to enhance the spirit of volunteering in various development activities.
 
In her nationwide message, the Minister for Information, Youth and Culture Dr. Fennela Mukangara said that the government believes that the rate of volunteering among the youths is a factor that enhanced national development goals.
 
Dr. Mukangara reminded youths that volunteering is one of learning resources and that to transfer that experience and knowledge is one way to solve existing economic problems in the fight against disease, ignorance and poverty.
 
Cooperation among youths which could bring positive change of their life and the nation at large is to be encouraged, she said, noting that statistics show that up to mid 2014, youth population in the world was estimated to be about 3 billion and over, greater segment of the total population. 
 
With the number of youths in the world at large, their participation is essential to reach development targets, the minister added.

Ethnic Sandawe now want govt to protect their culture

No comments
Sandawe ethnic group in central Tanzania Mainland have asked authorities to put in place measures that protect their environment, identity and culture citing economic activities by other communities that threaten their very survival.
 
The Sandawe who inhabit Chemba and Kondoa districts, in Dodoma Region, are predominantly a hunter-gatherer tribe who earn their living from the surrounding environment.
 
They said unlike in the past, their unique life and culture are at risk of disappearing owing to unabated invasion of their areas and degradation of the environment by ‘immigrants.’
 
The tribesmen were speaking this week during a community inception workshop on the state of land based investment and resource conflicts organized and conducted by the Tanzania Natural Resource Forum (TNRF) at Kwamtoro Ward in the district.
 
The workshop is part of a programme titled Ardhi Yetu, funded by CARE International and coordinated by CARE Tanzania, and implemented by the Tanzania Natural Resource Forum (TNRF).
Deodutus Mungee from Ovada Ward said many ‘immigrants’ are clearing huge chunks of their traditional land for agriculture and settlements.
 
For example, he said, Bubu River supplying water to Sandawe communities down stream is seriously degraded as a result of farming activities.  If the trend is allowed to continue it could lead to the drying up of the river.
 
“This river is very important to us. It supplies water to Kisande, Handa and Lahode villages, but these people are clearing the catchment areas causing erosion and drought,” he lamented.
 
Another Ovada villager Elid Joachim said Sandawe communities have always been friends of the environment but today it can no longer support healthy life. “We used to live with animals very friendly, we had beekeeping projects for food but today trees have been depleted and the government is taking no measures, ” he complained.
 
Besides, he said their culture such as food and their tonal language with clicks, unrelated to any other of the 120 languages spoken in the country, have been altered in recent years due to the influx of ‘immigrants.’
 
Earlier, commenting on the challenges they face, the Secretary of Kwamtoro Peoples Development Association (UMAKWA) Frank Saki said transport and communication were the main challenges.
 
Programmes Coordinator for Land based investments for Tanzania Natural Resource Forum (TNRF) Godfrey Massay said the indigenous community had the right to clean and healthy environment.
 
“This clean and healthy environment must be safeguarded by the government. Environment and land rights are basic, which must be recognized and protected constitutionally,” he said.
 
The Sandawe tribe also known as ‘Bushmen’ believe in tradition and protected culture, but today, increased population coupled with climate change have forced people from other parts of the country to ‘invade’ their  neighbourhoods to start farms and set up settlements.

Health security pillar of sustainable development

No comments

United Nation
Despite progress in combating killers diseases such as HIV/Aids and vaccine-preventable diseases such as measles, tetanus and diphtheria, the global gap between those who can access health services without fear of financial hardship and those who cannot is widening.
 
This is contained in a press release issued by a new global coalition of more than 500 leading health and development organizations worldwide launched on Thursday at the two-year anniversary of  United Nations Resolution, unanimously passed on 12 December 2012, which endorsed universal health coverage as a pillar of sustainable development and global security.
 
According the press release each year, 100 million people fall into poverty because they or a family member becomes seriously ill and they have to pay for care out of their own pockets.
 
 “Around one billion people worldwide can’t even access the health care they need, paving the way for disease outbreaks to become catastrophic epidemics,” reads part of the press release.
The new global coalition is urging governments to accelerate reforms that ensure everyone, everywhere, can access quality health services without being forced into poverty.
 
The coalition stresses the importance of universal access to health services for saving lives, ending extreme poverty, building resilience against the health effects of climate change and ending deadly epidemics such as Ebola.
 
“The need for equitable access to quality health care has never been greater, and there is unprecedented demand for universal health coverage around the world,” the press release quotes Michael Myers, Managing Director of The Rockefeller Foundation, which is spearheading Universal Health Coverage Day.
 
 “Universal health coverage is an idea whose time has come – because health for all saves lives, strengthens nations and is achievable and affordable for every country,” adds Myers.
 
However the coalition acknowledges the increase of countries embracing universal health coverage now compared to 20th century, “ universal health coverage was limited to a few high-income countries, but in the past two decades, a number of lower- and middle-income countries have successfully embraced reforms to make quality health care universally available,” reads the press release.
 
Countries as diverse as Brazil, Ghana, Mexico, Rwanda, Turkey and Thailand according to the press release have made tremendous progress toward universal health coverage in recent years.
 
To show that universal health coverage is achievable the coalition points that, the two most populous countries, India and China, are pursuing universal health coverage, and more than 80 countries have asked the World Health Organization for implementation assistance.
 
“Putting people’s health needs ahead of their ability to pay stems poverty and stimulates growth,” said Dr. Tim Evans, Senior Director for the Health, Nutrition and Population Global Practice at the World Bank Group. “Universal health coverage is an essential ingredient to end extreme poverty and boost shared prosperity within a generation.”
 
“Ebola is only the most recent example of why universal health coverage is the most powerful concept in public health,” Dr. Marie-Paule Kieny , Assistant Director-General for Health Systems and Innovation at the World Health Organization has been quoted by the press release.
 
“Investing in strong, equitable health systems is the only way to truly protect and improve lives, particularly in the face of emerging threats like the global rise of non-communicable diseases and increasingly severe natural disasters,” added the Assistant Director-General for Health Systems and Innovation at the World Health Organization.
 
Commenting on the day, Kebwe Stevephen Kebwe Deputy Minister for Health and Social Services, told this reporter over the phone yesterday that, Tanzania is committed to implementing universal health coverage to enable her citizens, the have and the have not to equitably access health services regardless of their geographical location and financial status.
 
“The Ministry of Health and Social Welfare, the Parliamentary Standing Committee for Social Services in collaboration with a team of experts drawn from various ministries and departments are working on that by 2025 Tanzania will have 75% universal health coverage,” The Deputy Minister told The Guardian.
 
According Kebwe, so far a team of experts has visited Ghana, Malaysia and Singapore to learn about how to implement universal health coverage.  
 
The Rockeffeller Foundation is spearheading this new global coalition in collaboration with World Health Organization and World Bank Group.

Jamaa mmoja alisababisha kizaazaa baada ya kuvamia chumbani ambako mtu na mkewe walikuwa wamelala.
Fununu zinasema jamaa huyo baada ya tukio hilo alimhoji mkewe kwamba huyo aliyeingia bila hodi chumbani kwao wakiwa wamelala ni nani?
Baada ya jamaa huyo, Calvin Murapata kutoridhishwa na majibu ya mke wake Nomagugu Ncube alimpiga na kumchania nguo, ambapo mwanamke huyo alifungua mashtaka kituo cha Polisi, Zimbabwe.
Mwanamke huyo aliwahi kushinda taji la mitindo katika nchi hiyo, amekiri kuwa na uhusiano na jamaa huyo aliyevamia chumbani humo kutokana na mume wake kuwa busy.
Ncube amefungua mashtaka kudai fidia ya nguo alizochaniwa.

Baada ya Ile na Lulu Sasa ni Hii ya Wema na Idris


 
Kweli umbea ndio unaendesha mitandao ya kijamii hapa Bongo.Baada ya ile picha ya zamani  ya muigizaji Elizabeth Michael  aka Lulu akiwa na mshindi wa BBA 2014, Idris, kupewa vichwa vya habari kuwa mwandada Lulu ameamua kujiweka au kuandaa mazingira ya kuwa karibu na mshindi huyo ili wazipukutishe DOLLAR, eti kisa Lulu aliweka picha hiyo mtandaoni nawatu bila kujiuliza mara mbili wamekuwa wa kiachia comment za ajabu ajabu.
Muda huu tena imeibuka picha hii nayo pia ni yazamani, ya muigizaji Wema Sepetu akiwa na Idris, na sasa inapewa vichwa mbali mbali kwenye blogs na social networks vikionyesha kuwa bwana Idris aliwahi kuwa na mahusiano na Wema, au Wema atamyemelea jamaa, mara hivi  mara vile nawatu kutoa maneno makali kumuandama Wema bila hata kuchukua sekunde tano tu kufikiria.
Ukweli ni kwamba hizi ni picha tu, tena ni zamani kabla hata jamaa aja SHINE  na hata ukiziangalia kwa undani  zote hizi za kawaida tu. Kikubwa   ambacho kingepewa kipaumbele ni kuwashukuru  wote Wema  pamoja na Lulu na mastaa wengine wengi tu wa hapa Tanzania kwani walikuwa wakimuombea kura kwa mashabiki wao wakati wote Idris alipokuwa kwenye jumba la BBA. Na sio kuanza kuzusha habari nyepesi nyepesi kama hizi na kuwarushia maneno machafu.
