comment of the day
It's much more difficult to work on a broad subject than on a specific one, because even if it's hard to find the information, if you look hard enough for something specific you will find it, and you will discover things that you wouldn't have thought of before.

Guangdong reacher than some contries
An increasing number of provinces in China are richer than some countries, according to a blue paper published Sunday by China's top think tank.
China's Academy of Social Sciences (CASS) published its annual Economic Competitiveness Report of China's Provinces and Regions (2008-2009). For the first time, CASS compares the overall GDP and per capita GDP of Chinese regions with 18 G20 members excluding China and the European Union (EU), said Li Jianping, editor of the blue paper.
Guangdong province, China's economic powerhouse neighboring Hong Kong, led Chinese regions in overall gross domestic product (GDP) in 2008, followed by Shandong, Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces in east China, said the blue paper.
Compared to the 18 G20 nations, Guangdong ranked 16th in terms of overall GDP, surpassing Saudi Arabia, Argentina and South Africa. Shandong and Jiangsu surpassed Argentina and South Africa, and Zhejiang topped South Africa.
In terms of per capita GDP, Shanghai ranked 12th in comparison with the 18 G20 countries, better than Turkey, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, South Africa, Indonesia and India. Tianjin ranked 15th and Beijing 16th.
China is now a big industrialized nation and should try to become an industrialized power in the next step, Huang Qunhui, a researcher with CASS, said Sunday.
G20 members are Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, the European Union, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, South Korea, Turkey, United Kingdom, and the United States.
The more you smoke, the lower your IQ
NEW YORK: Cigarette smokers have lower IQs than non-smokers, and the more they smoke, the lower their IQ, according to a study of over 20,000 Israeli military recruits.
Dr Mark Weiser and colleagues from Sheba Medical Center in Tel Hashomer found that young men who smoked a pack of cigarettes a day or more had IQ scores 7.5 points lower than non-smokers.
"Adolescents with poorer IQ scores might be targeted for programs designed to prevent smoking," they conclude in the journal Addiction.
While there is evidence for a link between smoking and lower IQ, many studies have relied on intelligence tests given in childhood, and have also included people with mental and behavioral problems, who are both more likely to smoke and more likely to have low IQs, Weiser and his team noted.
To better understand the smoking-IQ relationship, the researchers looked at 20,211 18-year-old men recruited into the Israeli military.
The group did not include anyone with major mental health problems, because these individuals are disqualified from military service.
According to the researchers, 28 percent of the study participants smoked at least one cigarette a day, around 3 percent said they were ex-smokers, and 68 percent had never smoked.
The smokers had significantly lower intelligence test scores than non-smokers, and this remained true even after the researchers accounted for socioeconomic status measured by how many years of formal education a recruit's father had completed.
The average IQ for non-smokers was about 101, while it was 94 for men who had started smoking before entering the military.
IQ steadily dropped as the number of cigarettes smoked increased, from 98 for people who smoked one to five cigarettes daily to 90 for those who smoked more than a pack a day.
IQ scores from 84 to 116 are considered to indicate average intelligence.
Recruits aren't allowed to smoke while intelligence tests are administered, the researchers said, so it is possible that withdrawal symptoms might affect smokers' scores.
To address this issue, they also looked at IQ scores for men who were non-smokers when they were 18 but started smoking during their military service.
These men also scored lower than never-smokers, 97 points, on average) "indicating that nicotine withdrawal was probably not the cause of the difference," the researchers said.
The researchers also compared IQs for 70 pairs of brothers in the group in which one brother smoked and the other did not. Again, average IQs for the non-smoking sibling were higher than for the smokers.
The findings suggest that lower IQ individuals are more likely to choose to smoke, rather than that smoking makes people less intelligent, Weiser and his team conclude.

Hasheem Thabeet be strong and courageous
It should have come to the surprise of no one surprise that Hasheem Thabeet, demoted to the Developmental League Thursday, has struggled mightily in his rookie season with the Memphis Grizzlies.
When Thabeet arrived at UConn three years ago, he had trouble making an uncontested layup and the Huskies effectively played the season four on five at the offensive end. By his third and final year, he was merely a serviceable offensive player. Everyone in the NBA knew he was a massive project and in truth, he was always a guy you thought might have a chance to make his mark by his third season in the NBA ... if his work ethic caught up to his extraordinary gift on the defensive end.
With ridicule coming down heavily on Thabeet and the Grizzlies, this is a defining moment for the 7-3 center from Tanzania. He either finds the pride and motivation to excel, or he’s destined to a life in the same sentence with Kwame Brown and Darko Milicic.
Some people are criticing Thabeet for falling from NBA to D-league,of ource as a super star everybody would like to say anything whatever they wish good or bad as himself he call them as haters.
Remember Tigger wood the way media did to him, so Hasheem dont be angry on people but try to listen and make follow up on what they say as i believe some of their advice are for ur well-being.
I personally wish you you a quick return to the NBA as usual.
We are very proud of you as the first and only one to enter the NBA so work hard as usual and remember that always success and prosperity depends on the ups and down.
we all learn through mistake and make a better tomorrow.

Sakata la Viongozi wenye vyeti feki
Ni mtazamo wangu kama hawa mafisadi wa elimu kama wataachiwa nchi yetu haitafika popote zaidi ya kudidimia zaidi ya hata ilipo sasa.
Ndo maana tunaona mikataba mibovu karibu kila sekita kumbe mikataba mingine sio kosa lao bali ni ukosaji wa elimu husika katika kuongoza sekta hizo nyeti.
Nadhani wakati umefika kwa wizara husika kuchukua hatua kali na kufatilia hili suala ,mimi sitakaa kimya kamye mpaka tujue mwisho wake.
Wanatudanganya wamesoma, wanachukua rasilimali zetu zote na kujitajirisha bado tunaendelea kuwapa madaraka, jamani wataanzania tunamatatizo gani? Ama kweli sisi ni vichwa vya wenda wazimu.
Lazima ifikie kipindi tuseme basi sasa maana wanatunyonya kila kitu, tungefarijika sana kama wangekuwa wanajali hapa wananchi walio masikini lakini hakuna chochote.
Hili pia linanipa picha ya jinsi viongozi wengi wazee wamefanya kazi na Baba wa Taifa lakn hadi leo bado wanataka madaraka, kwa nini msituachie sisi vijana ? mnataka madaraka ya nini zaidi na umri wote huo ?au ni sababu mnajua leo vijana wengi wamekuwa na uelewa mkubwa na hawakubali kudanganywa tena?
Hata kama mtatukwepa kumbukeni kuwa Vijana wa kale sio kama wa zamani, na si mda mrefu tunakuja maana ninyi ni dhahiri kabisa umri unawakimbia kwa sasa.
And Jesus once said ”If the blind lead the blind, both shall fall in the ditch.”
Wahenga walisema elimu ni chanzo cha maarifa, on contrary to that also if the Education will be used inappropriately will be the source of disaster in particular society such as corruption, underdevelopment, lack of sustainability and better health services, decline in education system and an increase in the government dependence from donor contries e.t.c
Kama ni mwanasayansi utakumbuka some of the great scientist walipokuwa wanafanya utafiti wao na wanapokosa uhakika zaidi walikaa kimya kabisa mpaka wanapopata more convincing power ndo wanapublish ..mfano Charles Darwin on the EVOLUTION OF Man, na wengine hata waliuliwa kisa tu ni kukosa pointi za uhakika mfano mzuri ni a Galilei Galileo na Kikule aliyevumbua Benzene ....NOTHING COULD HAVE BEEN PASSED WITHOUT TOIL ...je hapa tunajifunza nini???
Inaonyesha wazi kama kila mtu angeachwa tu afanye anavyotaka leo tusingekuwa na mabadiliko makubwa ya kisayansi kama tulionayo kwa sababu hata theory za uongo zingepitishwa na sisi ndo tungekuwa waathirika wa kila kitu.
Kama kila kitu mfano ujenzi na electronics vinatumia theory ..je hivyo vitu tungekuwa navyo leo.Tatizo la sisi (samahani ila sio wote)watu weusi tunahali ya kutojali next generation,tunapenda ubinafsi ndo maana utaona Kiongozi mkubwa hajali kesho kutakuwa na nini bali yeye akishajaza tumbo lake leo yatosha.
For me I consider this to be the great disease and if Diagnosis will not be made early it will soon turns to Chronic and everything will be too late to amend.
Ni mimi mtanzania na mzalendo

Tanzania changes will depend on the most creative and talented young people
Tanzanian changes will depends on Tanzanian themselves(debate)
By Dr.Mallaba
Tanzania changes will depends on the most creative and talented young people,rather than rely on politicians or who will be a president.
As president has his part however he will never make a big difference if the given society were sleeping, I say the society is sleeping because even when they see some gabbages instead of taking and put in a proper place they complain of government,we see somebody is destroying the road instead of taking an action and report to the specific department we complain of the government ..governmnet ? I believe a lot of things they are source of our laziness and wait to be done by government leaders.Let us play our part and the government will do its best. The most surprising is that those who complain on everything without even taking an action some are graduates,bussines workers who are in big cities, so what about those illiterate and villagers? what will they say?
Let us stop complains and concentrate on solving those problems.
I say Tanzania depends on young and most talented people because our development will neither depends on foreigner investors nor depends on foreigner donners.I do not mean that we dont need them, no, we need them in a strategic manner.
Foreigner investers are key to any development economy but such nation shall never rely on, this is due to the fact that despite of their massive investment they can leave the country at any time and the good example we saw during the economic downturn(crisis) the way a lot of foreigner investors withdrew their money and flew back to their country,this tell us that the domestic investors are better than those even though alway never get good treatment policy from the government.
On my thinking if a talented and young Tanzanian will realise their roles many changes will be done. As they are the holder of everything in the society Im very confident and very enthusiastic that we are able to make a big different in Tanzania.
For me as among of them I'll do whatever I can to make it done.
I call upon all young Tanzanian wherever they are to rise up and realize that this is our time, we can no longer leave fisadis to continue to lead us while we can do it.
I know may young creative and talented Tanzanians are already disappointed on many government policy and some just saying "we are observers" .Remember If we can not rise and cooperate our selves nothing will be done, but if we join together will move forward and be like other emerging countries such as China, India and Brazil.
If consider China for example, about 80 percent of its Scientist they have been abroad(returnees)and are the one driving the development and success of China in almost each aspect like High -tech,engineer, computer,high way,medical sciences etc.
Remember our heroes such as Nkwame nkrumah, JK Nyerere ,Martin LK ,Nelson Mandela etc who struggled and sacrificed their life to African people while dreaming to have the so called United States of Africa, however their dreams didn’t yied(succumb) more fruits as they expected maybe due to social, politics, economics and cultural differences btn those leaders.
I do remember JK Nyerere spoke after declaring an Independence in 1961 he said Tanzanian have 3 enemies which are poverty, illiteracy and diseases. Its about 50 yrs now since that time Africa is still facing the same problem and even worsen than before, where are we going? are we backsliding or have we slept? Its very shame seeing very little progress in terms of economy in African countries inspite of having plenty of minerals and other resources. This is the 5th year in china I’ve learned a lot ,how Chinese are serious and very patriotic that they are ready even to refuse to buy anything made abroad.Their hardship and patriotism have taught me that “impossible is just something you can not do” “and nothing is what you can not think”.
We have to keep in mind that it's not just about the numbers of people who died; it's also the manner which many of these victims met their deaths.
For some reason, I seem to be bothered whenever I see acts of injustice and assaults on people's civil liberties. I imagine what I write in the future will follow in that vein. Whether it's fiction or non-fiction
I believe that a better Tanzania is yet to come but very near than we started.
God bless Tanzania.
