Do we really reach our full potential?

Nawatakieni siku njema!!

Wa' shoka saturday kitchen... 'Usafi wa mahali pa kuandalia chakula au jikoni.'

2012-05-12T12:00:00.000+01:00

Kama kipo kitu cha muhimu sana katika maisha yetu basi ni afya njema, kwa sababu bila afya njema hatuwezi kufikia uwezo wetu kamili wa kuleta mabadiliko ya maana katika jamii.

Labda unaweza kujiuliza ni kwa jinsi gani tunapata afya njema?.. Hapa watu wanaweza kuleta majibu mbalimbali katika swali kama hili. Lakini ukweli ni kwamba afya zetu zinapatikana kwanza kabisa katika vyakula tunavyokula. Chakula huitaji kuandaliwa katika mazingira masafi na salama. Kwa maana hiyo basi usafi wa jiko au sehemu tunayoandalia chakula ni muhimu sana kwani ndiyo hutathmini kama chakula tunachoenda kukila kitatuletea afya njema au mbaya.

Swali langu la kwanza jumamosi ya leo wadau wangu ni.. je unasafisha jiko lako na kama unalishafisha, unalisafishaje?

Karibuni tuelimishane, Jumamosi njema..

Tumalizie siku na Zawose..

9 Types of intelligence.. wewe uko wapi hapo?

2012-05-10T23:37:00.000+01:00

Wazazi na walezi, nimeileta mada hii kwenu ili kujikumbusha tu kwamba watu tumeumbwa na vipaji mbalimbali kwa hiyo hata katika watoto wetu tusiwalazimishe kusoma au kufanya mambo ambayo si kipaji chao..

1. Naturalist Intelligence (“Nature Smart”) Designates the human ability to discriminate among living things (plants, animals) as well as sensitivity to other features of the natural world (clouds, rock configurations). This ability was clearly of value in our evolutionary past as hunters, gatherers, and farmers; it continues to be central in such roles as botanist or chef. It is also speculated that much of our consumer society exploits the naturalist intelligences, which can be mobilized in the discrimination among cars, sneakers, kinds of makeup, and the like.

2. Musical Intelligence (“Musical Smart”) Musical intelligence is the capacity to discern pitch, rhythm, timbre, and tone. This intelligence enables us to recognize, create, reproduce, and reflect on music, as demonstrated by composers, conductors, musicians, vocalist, and sensitive listeners. Interestingly, there is often an affective connection between music and the emotions; and mathematical and musical intelligences may share common thinking processes. Young adults with this kind of intelligence are usually singing or drumming to themselves. They are usually quite aware of sounds others may miss.


3. Logical-Mathematical Intelligence (Number/Reasoning Smart) Logical-mathematical intelligence is the ability to calculate, quantify, consider propositions and hypotheses, and carry out complete mathematical operations. It enables us to perceive relationships and connections and to use abstract, symbolic thought; sequential reasoning skills; and inductive and deductive thinking patterns. Logical intelligence is usually well developed in mathematicians, scientists, and detectives. Young adults with lots of logical intelligence are interested in patterns, categories, and relationships. They are drawn to arithmetic problems, strategy games and experiments.


4. Existential Intelligence Sensitivity and capacity to tackle deep questions about human existence, such as the meaning of life, why do we die, and how did we get here.

5. Interpersonal Intelligence (People Smart”) Interpersonal intelligence is the ability to understand and interact effectively with others. It involves effective verbal and nonverbal communication, the ability to note distinctions among others, sensitivity to the moods and temperaments of others, and the ability to entertain multiple perspectives. Teachers, social workers, actors, and politicians all exhibit interpersonal intelligence. Young adults with this kind of intelligence are leaders among their peers, are good at communicating, and seem to understand others’ feelings and motives.

6. Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence (“Body Smart”) Bodily kinesthetic intelligence is the capacity to manipulate objects and use a variety of physical skills. This intelligence also involves a sense of timing and the perfection of skills through mind–body union. Athletes, dancers, surgeons, and craftspeople exhibit well-developed bodily kinesthetic intelligence.


7. Linguistic Intelligence (Word Smart) Linguistic intelligence is the ability to think in words and to use language to express and appreciate complex meanings. Linguistic intelligence allows us to understand the order and meaning of words and to apply meta-linguistic skills to reflect on our use of language. Linguistic intelligence is the most widely shared human competence and is evident in poets, novelists, journalists, and effective public speakers. Young adults with this kind of intelligence enjoy writing, reading, telling stories or doing crossword puzzles.


8. Intra-personal Intelligence (Self Smart”) Intra-personal intelligence is the capacity to understand oneself and one’s thoughts and feelings, and to use such knowledge in planning and directioning one’s life. Intra-personal intelligence involves not only an appreciation of the self, but also of the human condition. It is evident in psychologist, spiritual leaders, and philosophers. These young adults may be shy. They are very aware of their own feelings and are self-motivated.


9. Spatial Intelligence (“Picture Smart”) Spatial intelligence is the ability to think in three dimensions. Core capacities include mental imagery, spatial reasoning, image manipulation, graphic and artistic skills, and an active imagination. Sailors, pilots, sculptors, painters, and architects all exhibit spatial intelligence. Young adults with this kind of intelligence may be fascinated with mazes or jigsaw puzzles, or spend free time drawing or daydreaming.

Kanuni Kumi za kufundisha watoto tabia nzuri...

2012-05-07T22:50:00.000+01:00

1. Pay off correct behavior, not misbehavior. Reinforce polite requests, not whining, teasing and tantrums. Reinforce calm discussions, not arguments and power struggles.

2. Think before you talk. Say what you mean. Mean what you say. Reward yourself for being consistent.

3. Expect good behavior from your children. Children must know what you expect from them and what they can expect from you. When children can predict how you will behave in reaction to them, they will make better behavioral choices themselves.

4. Children believe what you tell them. Coach your children on ways to behave appropriately. Teach your children that effort is essential. Use plenty of encouragement. When you encourage your children, they will see that you have faith and confidence in them, and will have it in themselves.

5. Once you recognize a misbehavior pattern, establish a plan. Tell them the rules in advance and be specific and reasonable. Using charts or contracts, spotlight success and provide support and encouragement.

6. Use punishments that teach decision-making and accountability. Children survive reasonable punishments, such as restriction and time-outs. Do not punish when you are angry.

7. Begin teaching responsibility and decision-making when your children are young. This will prepare them for the real world. Remember, children need limits, structure, ground rules and consistency. Children will see these qualities as an expression of your love and concern.

8. Focus on your children's positive qualities but love them regardless of their behavior.

9. Teach your children to seek self-reward—to feel good about doing the right thing.

10. Provide a healthy and pleasant family climate. Emphasize each other's strengths and accept one another's weaknesses.

Elimu hii nzima ni kwa hisani tovuti hii.

Kuchapa watoto...

2012-04-29T22:32:00.000+01:00

Siku hizi kumekuwa na mitazamo mingi juu ya adhabu ya kuchapa watoto, zipo adhabu nyingi kwa watoto zinazowasaidia kujirekebisha tabia, lakini hii ya kuchapa ndio imekuwa ikitumika sana. Wanaharakati wa watoto wao wameamua kuipinga adhabu hii sababu kubwa wanasema inawaathiri watoto kisaikolojia na ni kuwatesa..

Je wewe msomaji unasemaje kuhusiana na adhabu hii unadhani ina madhara gani na manufaa gani ukilinganisha na adhabu zingine?

Musician Recaptures Tanzanians Lost Glory..

2012-04-28T09:14:00.001+01:00

The Arusha Times, Tanzania
14th April 2012

Tanzania has regained its lost glory in world of music fame that has dwindled since the eighties.

When the name of Tanzania is currently mentioned in international music circles the name of Ebrahim Makunja popularly known as Ras Makunja of FFU and his “The Ngoma Africa Band” aka FFU based in Germany cannot be slighted. FFU has earnestly strived to place Tanzania in the international music charts.

It is the only Tanzanian band that is based overseas. Its contribution in the music industry both in Tanzania, East Africa and abroad is superb. The band has often been able to bring its records to radio stations back at home.

Many of their hits touch the souls of their fans. Two of their hits, which are very popular in local radio stations and contained in “50 Uhuru Anniversary” CD are “Shangwe”, and “Miaka 50 ya Uhuru”. The rumba style songs are composed by band leader Ras Makunja.

He pairs in singing with the comical solo guitarist Chris-B. Apart from the well composed lyrics and the highly perfected musical beat the songs carry very strong and emotional messages to the community. Their messages are acclaimed not only in Tanzania but world all over.

Ras Makunja of FU, is not only a seasoned tactful and artistic composed. He too has visionary messages to the society. To call him Kamanda (Commander) Ras Makunja is not demeaning him.

He ensured that two of his CDs including “Jakaya Kikwete 2010″ which claimed global fame reached more than 310 radio stations in the world. This CD earned him the mark of being a hard headed musician from some quarters.

His band now dubbed FFU (Fanya Fujo Uone) literally means creates chaos and see, immediately came up with a CD “Anti Corruption Squad” which has the song “Rushwa ni Adui wa Haki”. The fans see this song as the Al-Albadir of the corrupt.

The song was a smash hit within Tanzanians. It placed Ras Makunja and his band ‘Ngoma Afrika’ not only as ordinary musicians in the musical arena. They had something else to offer the society apart from the usual entertainment. Visionary eye opening and soul searching messages.

Yet despite all this no one seems to realize the onerous task that this musicians does. They have never been ordained with a single medal here at home. As a popular Swahili goes “Asiyekuwepo na lake halipo” (He who is not there (present) so is his/her share). Ras Makunja and Ngoma Afrika may not be with us, but his works and messages are!

The official web of the band is www.ngoma-africa.com One can become a fan member of the band by signing up. The good work the band is doing in promoting Tanzania in the field of music deserves local support both in cash and form.

Happy Birthday to Da' Mija...

Madonna: 'I'm so glad' Joyce Banda is Malawi's new president

2012-04-19T22:28:00.001+01:00

NEW YORK (AP) -- Madonna says she's happy that Malawi's former vice president is now leading the country.

Joyce Banda became president on April 7 and is the country's first female leader. Former President Bingu wa Mutharika died of a heart attack on April 5.

Madonna adopted two Malawian children and started the charity Raising Malawi in 2006. It assists orphanages and other aid programs in the country.

The singer called Banda "amazing" and said she interviewed the 62-year-old for her 2008 documentary, "I Am Because We Are," about Malawian orphans who lost family members to HIV/AIDS.

"She was really into girls being educated in Africa, which is a good thing," Madonna said in an interview Thursday night. "So I'm glad."

The pop star made the comments at Macy's in New York for the launch of her fragrance, Truth or Dare. She said she's "been trying to develop a fragrance for probably the last 15 years."

"It's never worked out with various companies and different people and trying different fragrances," she said. "They never turned out the way I wanted them to smell."

But Madonna says that was partially due to her expensive taste.

"It's the mass-producing part that always gets tricky because, for some reason, the fragrances that I like tend to be really expensive," the singer said. "One time I created a smell and I was told the amber ... was like a million dollars to ship from India or something."

She said an attempt at making a synthetic version of the fragrance didn't work because it didn't smell as good as she had wanted it to.

But, she says, "Finally, I got a smell I like that I can mass produce. Yay!"

Truth or Dare ranges in price from $39 to $68.

Je mtoto huzaliwa na tabia yake au tabia huja kulingana na mazingira anayokulia?

2012-04-05T20:02:00.003+01:00

Ni ubishi ambao hadi leo haujapata mshindi. Kuna watu wanaosema mtoto huzaliwa amekamilika na tabia yake kabisa ambayo hujitokeza polepole kulingana na umri unavyokwenda (Nature). Lakini kuna wale wanaosema kwamba mtoto huzaliwa mtupu kabisa bila tabia yoyote, tabia huja kulingana na mazingira anayokulia (Nurture)..

Je mdau wewe unasemaje? Karibu katika ubishi.

Be your best like Samora Machel...
