VALENTINE DAY 2012

Siku ya wapendanao ni sikukuu ambayo huadhimishwa kila ifikapo tarehe 14 Februari ya kila mwaka (Valentine Day).

Historia yake imeanzia karne ya 3 huko Roma ambapo alikuwapo mtakatifu valentine au Valentinus. Kaisari wakati huo alikuwa Claudius II yeye aliona kuwa askari mkakamavu na bora zaidi ni yule asiyeoa wala kuwa na familia (kapera). Hivyo alipiga marufuku ndoa kwa askari. Mtakatifu Valentinus alipinga jambo hili hivyo kuendelea kufungisha ndoa kwa siri. Mfalme Claudius alipopata habari hizi aliamuru kukamatwa kwa Valentinus na kuuwawa.

Kuna hadithi ya kuwa akiwa gerezani mtakatifu Valentinus aliandika barua ambayo ilikuwa na salamu za kwanza za valentine kwa binti aliyekuja kumsalimia gerezani, mwisho wa barua alihitimisha kwa maneno haya (From your Valentine). Toka hapa valentine anakumbukwa kama mtetezi wawapendanao na siku hii kuadhimishwa kote duniani.

To the one who owns this heart of mine
Comes this lovely wish dear valentine
That you'll feel special all day through
Because I think the world of you!

It's Valentines Day,
The day about love.
The angels are singing,
Loud up above.

Will you be my angel,
Want to be mine?
I love you so much,
You're my Valentine!

You're the syrup on my pancakes
You're the sugar in my tea
You're the icing on my cupcakes
You're the sweets in life for me

You're the chocolate on my ice cream
You're the sweet grapes in my wine
You're everything I love in life
Will you be my Valentine?

Love Defined poetic
What is love, but an emotion,
So strong and so pure,
That nurtured and shared with another
All tests it will endure?

What is love, but a force
To bring the mighty low,
With the strength to shame the mountains
And halt time’s ceaseless flow?

What is love, but a triumph,
A glorious goal attained,
The union of two souls, two hearts
A bond the angels have ordained?

What is love, but a champion,
To cast the tyrant from his throne,
And raise the flag of truth and peace,
And fear of death o’erthrow?

What is love, but a beacon,
To guide the wayward heart,
A blazing light upon the shoals
That dash cherished dreams apart?

And what is love, but forever,
Eternal and sincere,
A flame that through wax and wane
Will outlive life’s brief years?

So I’ll tell it on the mountaintops,
In all places high and low,
That love for you is my reason to be,
And will never break or bow.

UTAFIT MPYA: SAUSAGE ZINALETA CANCER?

Saturday, January 14th 2012 - 06:01 UTC

Link between eating processed meat and pancreatic cancer in Swedish research

A link between eating processed meat, such as bacon or sausages, and pancreatic cancer has been suggested by researchers in Sweden. They said eating an extra 50g of processed meat, approximately one sausage, every day would increase a person's risk by 19%.

•  
• Bacon and sausages in excess of 70 grams per day allegedly could increase the risk

But the chance of developing the rare cancer remains low. The World Cancer Research Fund suggested the link may be down to obesity.

Eating red and processed meat has already been linked to bowel cancer. As a result the UK government recommended in 2011 that people eat no more than 70g a day.

Prof Susanna Larsson, who conducted the study at the Karolinska Institute, told the BBC that links to other cancers were “quite controversial”.

She added: “It is known that eating meat increases the risk of colorectal cancer, it's not so much known about other cancers.”

The study, published in the British Journal of Cancer, analysed data from 11 trials and 6,643 patients with pancreatic cancer. It found that eating processed meat increased the risk of pancreatic cancer. The risk increased by 19% for every 50g someone added to their daily diet. Having an extra 100g would increase the risk by 38%.

Prof Larsson said: “Pancreatic cancer has poor survival rates. So as well as diagnosing it early, it's important to understand what can increase the risk of this disease.”

She recommended that people eat less red meat.

Cancer Research UK said the risk of developing pancreatic cancer in a lifetime was “comparatively small” - one in 77 for men and one in 79 for women.

Sara Hiom, the charity's information director, said: “The jury is still out as to whether meat is a definite risk factor for pancreatic cancer and more large studies are needed to confirm this, but this new analysis suggests processed meat may be playing a role.”

However, she pointed out that smoking was a much greater risk factor.

The World Cancer Research Fund has advised people to completely avoid processed meat.

Dr Rachel Thompson, the fund's deputy head of science, said: “We will be re-examining the factors behind pancreatic cancer later this year as part of our Continuous Update Project, which should tell us more about the relationship between cancer of the pancreas and processed meat.

”There is strong evidence that being overweight or obese increases the risk of pancreatic cancer and this study may be an early indication of another factor behind the disease.

“Regardless of this latest research, we have already established a strong link between eating red and processed meat and your chances of developing bowel cancer, which is why WCRF recommends limiting intake of red meat to 500g cooked weight a week and avoid processed meat altogether.” (BBC).-

SAMOA LOOSES FRIDAY 30TH OF DECEMBER 2011

THE tiny South Pacific nation of Samoa will jump forward in time this week - all in the name of trade.

At the stroke of midnight on December 29, time in Samoa will leap forward to December 31 - New Year's Eve.

For Samoa's 186,000 citizens, Friday, December 30, 2011, will simply cease to exist.

The time jump back to the future comes 119 years after some US traders persuaded local Samoan authorities to align their islands' time with nearby US-controlled American Samoa and the US to assist trade with California.

But the time zone has proved problematic in recent years, putting Samoa nearly a full day behind neighbouring Australia and New Zealand, increasingly important trading partners with the island nation.

In a bid to remedy that, the Government passed a law in June that will move Samoa west of the international dateline, which separates one calendar day from the next and runs roughly north-to-south through the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

Under a government decree, all those scheduled to work on the non-existent Friday will be given full pay for the missed day of labour.

Initially strongly opposed by Samoa's opposition Tautua Samoa Party, the law to make the dateline switch won support after leader A'eau Peniamina told the nation's Parliament: "It's a change that benefits the people."

Prime Minister Tuila'epa Sailele Malielegaoi earlier said it would strengthen trade and economic links with Australia, New Zealand and Asia.

Being a day behind the region has meant that when it's dawn Sunday in Samoa, it's already dawn Monday in adjacent Tonga and nearly dawn Monday in nearby New Zealand, Australia and increasingly prominent east Asian trade partners such as China.

"In doing business with New Zealand and Australia, we're losing out on two working days a week," the PM said.

"While it's Friday here, it's Saturday in New Zealand and when we're at church on Sunday, they're already conducting business in Sydney and Brisbane.

"Today we do a lot more business with New Zealand and Australia, China and Pacific Rim countries such as Singapore."

It's the second big economic modernising move by the governing Human Rights Protection Party in recent years, following its switch to driving on the left side of the country's roads in 2009, another move to align it with the two regional powers.

Supporters said at the time the change made it easier for Samoans in Australia and New Zealand to send used cars home to their relatives. Opponents predicted major traffic problems, but they never happened.

So far, only Samoa's small Seventh Day Adventist Church has indicated a major problem for its congregation, which traditionally begins celebrations for the Sabbath on Friday night and continues through Saturday.

The Seventh Day Adventist parish in Samoa's Samatau village has decided it will continue to observe the Sabbath day on Saturdays despite changes forced on the church by the westward switch of the dateline.

The original shift to the east side of the line was conducted in 1892 when Samoa celebrated July 4 twice, giving a nod to Independence Day in the US

The date line drawn by mapmakers is not mandated by any international body. By tradition, it runs roughly through the 180-degree line of longitude, but it zigzags to accommodate the choices of Pacific nations.

STUBORN WIFE CREATES AN ANGRY HUSBAND: INAKERA

In real life there are both stuborn husbands and stuborn wives. In our topic today we will concentrate on stuborn wives. It is true that a stuborn wife can make a very quite husband to change and become VERY ANGRY HUSBAND. This is why we are saying a stuborn wife can create an angly husband. This is true and the below example gives you the crue.

I am married to a man whom I sometimes refer to as "My Diva Man." He is a person who likes things a certain way. He can be quite demanding at times. However, he is also a wonderful husband who works very hard so that I can be home with our two beautiful daughters every day.

Unfortunately, this stubborn wife sometimes forgets that and stomps her foot and refuses to give in to him and what he needs.

Let me share an example that happened recently...

We just started doing the South Beach Diet together. So, I need to make his lunch more often than I used to...now it's every day.

The other day, I could not find a container large enough to hold what I made AND small enough to fit in his lunch box without having to be at an angle. Well, I didn't think twice, I just put it on an angle.

Hata ng'ombe ukimuuzi huwa anakasirik san.

The next day I did the same thing. This time, however, he looked in his lunch box and got annoyed. He told me that the dressing from the salad got all over the container lid last time. He asked me what he was supposed to do. I told him to scrape it off. BOOM! He got angry. He said I did not care about him and that he had to go work all night and so on. I got annoyed and basically told him he was a jerk. He went to work.

The next morning I got up to make him breakfast and some food for his second job. I made a tuna salad. What I did not do was drain the tuna as well as he would have liked it and again he noticed BEFORE he even left. He was angry and annoyed and again said that I did not care about him and that I just threw his lunch together with no thought.

I got VERY angry and told him he was self centered and unthankful for the fact that I woke up and was nice enough to make him something.

We went back and forth for a few and he left for work.

Now, of course, my Dear and Wonderful Daddy in Heaven convicted me that day while my husband was working. He made me realize that I was the one who was wrong. I needed to be a help to my husband NOT a stubborn wife. I needed to love and CARE about what I was doing for him, not just throw something together and have a "It's better than nothing" attitude.

So, I apologized to my husband when he got home from work. And, he apologized for not expressing himself nicer.

My STUBBORNNESS and "whatever" attitude was a hindrance to my husband. It made him angry and upset. Thankfully I got past myself fairly quickly.

Unfortunately, many times, us wives remain stubborn for a LONG time and it causes our men to stumble .

The Word tells us VERY clearly to adapt ourselves to our husbands. Not always an easy task for this fallen woman! LOL!

Helpful and Cooperative Wife = Happy and Fulfilled Husband.

Hata hivyo hujachelewa bado una nafasi ya kuifanya familia yako iwe na furaha siku zote kwa kujizuia na kutofanya mambo yote mabaya ambayo mwenzako yanamfanya achue. Anza sasa, anza leo, bado hujachelewa.

Na mnaweza kuishi  maisha marefu sana katika ndoa na uhai pia. Happy marriage creates ages and ages

HOW TO DEAL WITH STUBON HUSBAND

Question: I do not know how to deal with my husband. He is extremely introverted and very stubborn. When he gets stuck with his ideas he forces me to follow them, and I am unable to get my way at all. What do I do?

Basically, when he gets stubborn, I feel powerless to even explain my viewpoint. I feel frustrated and give up.

Response: There are a number of approaches you can take. In the worst case analysis you can accept that the situation is extraordinarily difficult. Then, rather than thinking of yourself as 'winning' by maximizing your gains, perhaps the best thing is to satisfy yourself by aiming to minimize your losses.

It is possible to take a more positive approach, however. You should examine your interests, prioritizing the interests that are most important to you. For example, perhaps you are more concerned about decisions about dealing with children, money, or issues relating to your personal independence. The issues that are most important to you deserve the greatest effort. You might want to be prepared to trade 'losses' on other interests or issues for 'wins' on the more important ones.

You also need to take a look at your BATNA on the various things that concern you. BATNA is your Best Alternative To a Negotiated Agreement. For example, you need to ask yourself whether your husband is the most helpful decision-making partner on a given issue. Perhaps a friend or relative can offer you better help or resources for dealing with a particular problem.

Again, taking a pessimistic view, perhaps what you need to do is consider marginalizing your husband when it comes to certain issues. Simply go your own way, to the extent you are able, and don't include him in the decision-making process. The troublesome element of this is that in some countries, there is great inequality between men and women -- and this may mean that your freedom of decision and action is extremely limited. But even in that case, being able to discuss things with friends and relatives, creating a personal 'support group', may ease your burden.

 

If your husband is threatened by interaction with other people, would he feel relieved if you were to become the spokesperson for the two of you in certain kinds of activities? If he says, for example, "The telephone company is impossible to deal with." perhaps you can offer to be the person who deals with the telephone company.

 

You also have to ask yourself a very hard question: is the relationship so damaging to you that it is bad for you to continue it. If that is the case, you need to examine your alternatives. If it brings you stress or health problems, even undertaking a regular program of meditation or exercise could contribute to a more rewarding inner life for you. I am not recommending divorce, but rather taking a look at how you can create a situation where you take power over elements of life that really only involve you and in which your husband has little or no interest.

When you do deal with him, listen closely to what he says. If what he says is not clear, keep asking questions to find out what underlies his approach. If what he says is unacceptable to him, respond with what Americans call a 'poker face' -- keep silent, don't respond, threaten him with your silence so he will know that you are not happy. Don't simply wait for him to stop talking and then let loose with a barrage of arguments. When he finishes talking you can say, "I want to make sure I understood you properly. Did you say 'x, y. & z'?" Let him know you are listening, make it clear the rules of discussion involve reciprocity: "I listened to you, now it is your turn to pay attention to me."

 

Ask your husband about the short and long term consequences of his decisions. How will this approach work in six months, one year, ten year? What results will it bring. Again, pay close attention to the things he finds most significant and try to design your responses to show that you are listening closely and understand his interests.

It sounds as if your life is extremely stressful. Rather than trying to change your husband, your first priority must be to build up your personal psychological, relationship, and even material resources.

From conflict resolutions

I LOVE YOU QUOTES

If I had to choose between loving you and breathing, I would use my last breath to say I love you.

You are the sunshine of my life, you take the clouds away and make me a rainbow every day. You're in my heart where you'll forever stay. I love you, sweetheart



All the love beats of my heart and all the heart beats of my love, beats for you and says "I love you". ~ Angel Mary George
