Kiharusi (Stroke)
Hili ni tangazo la idara ya huduma za afya ktk vyombo vya habari Uingereza.
When STROKE strikes, it spreads like fire.
When STROKE strikes act F.A.S.T:
1. Face -has their face fallen one side? Can they smile?
2. Arms -can they raise both arms and keep them there?
3. Speech -is their speech slurred?
4. Time -Just like fire, it's time to call 999 if you see any single one of these signs. (for Tanzania: send the patient to hospital immediately)
The earlier you act the more of a person you save.

Kijani ipi ni ya Si-Si-Emu?
Bado sijaelewa rangi rasmi inayotumiwa na Chama Cha Mapinduzi.
Zipo aina nyingi za rangi ya kijani (ambayo inatawala ktk bendera ya chama na mavazi rasmi ktk matukio ya kichama).
Ktk tukio moja unaweza kukuta rangi za kijani kibichi, kijani ya kawaida na kijani iliyopauka zote zimetumika ktk bendera na mavazi ya viongozi wa ngazi za juu. Ukiwaona kwa pamoja unaweza kusema waziwazi kuwa hii sio sare (ingawa wao watasema ni sare ya chama!)
Ingekuwa vema kama wana-ccm wangeamua rangi gani ya kijani ni muafaka ili itumike rasmi, badala ya kuchanganya rangi anuai za kijani.

MJ na 'This is it'
Mfalme wa Pop Duniani, Michael Jackson, ametangangaza kuwa mwezi wa Saba mwaka huu atakuwa jijini London ktk ukumbi wa O2 Arena (zamani Millennium Dome) kwa ajili kuwatumbuiza wapenzi na mashabiki wake wa London (na Uingereza kwa ujumla) kwa mara ya mwisho.
Michael alitangaza mwenyewe jana 'live' majira ya saa 11 kwa saa za Uingereza na amesema atatoa burudani kwa kuimba nyimbo ambazo mashabiki wake wake wanazipenda.
Mimi ni mmoja wa mashabiki wa muziki wa Michael Jackson hasa nyimbo za 'The way you Make Me Feel', 'Earth Song', 'Man In the Mirror', 'Dirty Diana', 'Will You Be There' n.k.

Napenda kuanza kwa kutoa shukrani zangu za dhati kwa heshima mliyonipa ya kunishirikisha kwenye sherehe hii adhimu ya uzinduzi wa Kamandi ya Jeshi la Nchi Kavu ya Jeshi la Ulinzi la Wananchi wa Tanzania.
Siku ya leo ni siku muhimu sana katika historia ya jeshi letu. Ni siku ambayo tunashuhudia mabadiliko ya muundo wa kiutawala na kiutendaji wa Jeshi letu ukizinduliwa rasmi kwa uzinduzi wa Kamandi ya Jeshi la Nchi Kavu.
Nakupongeza sana CDF kwa uamuzi wako wa busara wa kufanya mabadiliko katika muundo wa Jeshi letu. Ni mabadiliko yanayoenda na wakati. Ndiyo maana sikusita kiyaunga mkono na kuyakubali. Nafarijika sana ninapoona Jeshi letu likijitahidi kuendeleza msukumo wa historia yake ya kubadilika kuendana na mabadiliko ya nyakati. Hiyo ndiyo siri kubwa ya uimara na mafanikio ya Jeshi letu.
Tangu Jeshi letu lianzishwe mwaka 1964, limeshafanya mabadiliko mengi, ya kimuundo na kiutendaji kama matakwa ya kimazingira, kiutendaji na kiteknolojia yalivyojitokeza. Uzinduzi wa Kamandi hii unadhihirisha dhamira ya Jeshi letu ya kwenda na wakati. Mimi naamini ni mabadiliko yenye maslahi kwa Jeshi letu. Yatakaleta ufanisi na kuliimarisha Jeshi letu kwa utendaji kivita na kiutawala. Nawashukuru sana viongozi wa Jeshi na Wizara. Naomba muendelee kuwa wabunifu ili muendelee kufanya mabadiliko stahiki zaidi kwa nia ya kupata ufanisi mkubwa zaidi. Nasema tena hongereni sana.
Wakati tunazindua Kamandi hii na kupongezana napenda kuwaomba muendelee kuwa wabunifu, mfikirie na kufanya mabadiliko zaidi yanayostahili ili muendelee kujiimarisha na kwenda na wakati.
Ni muhimu kwa ajili hiyo mkaangalia miundo ya utumishi wa Jeshi, ikama, mitaala ya ufundishaji, zana na vifaa mbalimbali vya kijeshi ili navyo viendane na wakati. Napenda kuwahakikisheni kuwa Serikali itaendelea kuwaunga mkono katika jitihada zenu kadiri uwezo wa bajeti yetu utakavyoruhusu. Kwa moyo huo huo wa kuendelea kuwaunga mkono ndiyo maana nimekubali kuongeza umri wa kustaafu wa wanajeshi nchini kuwa miaka 60 badala ya 57 ya sasa. Mabadiliko hayo yatakayoanza Julai Mosi mwaka huu tunayafanya ili yaendane na wakati. Siku hizi watu wanachelewa kuzeeka tofauti na ilivyokuwa zamani.
Nitakuwa mwizi wa fadhila kama sitaitumia nafasi hii, kwa mara nyingine kuwapongeza Wanajeshi wetu wote kwa kazi nzuri mnayoifanya ya kulinda uhuru na mipaka ya nchi yetu. Septemba Mosi, mwaka huu JWTZ litatimiza miaka 45 tangu kuasisiwa kwake. Imekuwa ni miaka 45 ya utumishi uliotukuka na mafanikio makubwa. Jeshi letu limetekeleza majukumu yake kwa ushujaa, umahiri, utii na uaminifu wa hali ya juu. Jeshi letu limezingatia kwa dhati misingi ya uweledi na uzalendo. Matokeo yake ni usalama na utulivu endelevu wa nchi yetu na watu wake. Tumefanikiwa kulinda mipaka ya nchi yetu wakati wote hata pale palipotokea tishio la wazi la nchi kuvamiwa na sehemu kutekwa na majeshi ya fashisti Idd Amin wa Uganda mwaka 1978. Nakumbuka Operesheni CHAKAZA mwaka 1978 – 1979. Nawapongeza sana.
Naomba nimalize kwa kuwashukuru tena, kwa kazi nzuri mnayoendelea kuifanya ya kulinda nchi yetu. Napenda kuwahakikishia kwamba Serikali inawajali na inathamini kazi yenu. Nawaomba msisahau kuwa siri kubwa ya mafaniko yetu Jeshini ni: Umoja, Ujasiri, Nidhamu na Uweledi. Yazingatieni. Nawatakia kila kheri katika majukumu yenu.
Asanteni sana.
Naunga mkono kauli hii ya Mhe Rais.
