Mike Tyson at 50: How boxing legend has changed over the years

Mike Tyson is 50 today, a birthday that many who knew the former heavyweight champion believed he’d never live to celebrate.

But he’s still with us, performing his one-man show, dabbling in other business ventures, and now very much just another guy trying to pay his bills, feed his family and live his life.

With the death of Muhammad Ali earlier this month, Tyson is now the most prominent retired boxer alive. He’s kind of the sport’s unofficial elder statesman, though no one has ever dared to describe Tyson as statesmanlike.

Tyson the fighter was a fearsome mixture of speed and power who achieved great heights but somehow never managed to be quite the fighter that Cus D’Amato envisioned he would be.

He’s a Hall of Famer, sure, and one of the most recognizable boxers ever. Few ever hit as hard or intimidated as much.

He bullied his opponents, but was too often bullied in his biggest fights.

Ufisadi wa kutisha watikisa vigogo 12 serikali ya Zanzibar

WATENDAJI 12 wa serikali ya Zanzibar, akiwamo Naibu Mhasibu Mkuu wa Serikali wamesimamishwa kazi kutokana na upotevu mkubwa wa fedha.

Akizungumza na waandishi wa habari visiwani Zanzibar jana, Waziri wa Fedha na Mipango, Dk. Khalid Salum Mohamed, alisema kati ya watendaji hao wamo wahasibu wakuu wa wizara sita wanaohusika na upotevu huo wa fedha.

“Kwa masikitiko makubwa naomba kutoa taarifa kuwa tumebaini upotevu wa fedha za serikali ambao tumeanza kuuchukulia hatua,” alisema waziri huyo.

Alisema upotevu huo wa fedha unaonekana sio wa bahati mbaya, bali ni jambo la kupangwa na umetekelezwa kwa njama za watendaji wa vitengo vya fedha uliowahusisha wahasibu.

Aidha, alisema hadi sasa kuna hundi zenye thamani ya Sh. milioni 571 zimeshindwa kulipwa kwa sababu ya uhalifu huo na hatua za awali za kutathmini upotevu huo zinaonyesha kuwa kiasi ambacho kinahusika na wizi huo kinaweza kuwa kikubwa zaidi ya hicho.

“Tulipopata taarifa za awali juu ya upotevu huu hatua za haraka zilichukuliwa na kubaini wahusika wakuu”alisema Dk. Khalid.

Alisema taarifa za awali zinaonyesha upotevu huo wa fedha umetokana na njama za baadhi ya watendaji wa kitengo cha malipo katika Wizara ya Fedha na Mipango wakishirikiana na baadhi ya wahasibu wa wizara tofauti za serikali.

Waziri huyo alisema hatua hiyo imezingatia matakwa ya Sheria ya Fedha za Umma namba 12 ya mwaka 2005 na kanuni zake na Sheria ya Utumishi wa Umma ya mwaka 2014 na kanuni zake.

Alisema kutokana na ukubwa wa upotevu huo wa fedha, hatua itakayofuata ni kuundwa kwa bodi ya uchunguzi ambayo itakuwa na watu wanne watakaoteuliwa na Katibu Mkuu wa Wizara ya Fedha na Mipango.

Alisema azma ya serikali ni kuimarisha utawala bora na kuimarisha usimamizi wa fedha za umma, hivyo watendaji wote wanapaswa kufahamu kuwa azma hiyo inatekelezwa bila ya kuyumba wala kumuonea haya mtu yeyote.

Now perform Umrah throughout the year!

The issuance of new Umrah visa has been stopped from June 20. With over seven per cent increase in Umrah visa, their number reached to 6.4 million last year.

Devotees can now choose any part of the year to perform pilgrimage, as Umrah season is likely to remain open through the year.

The Ministry of Haj and Umrah are contemplating on keeping the Umrah season open for the whole year. This shall come into effect from next year.

Saudigazette quoted Abdullah Qadi, Deputy Chairman of the National Committee for the Haj and Umrah in Makkah Chamber of Commerce and Industry as saying ,

"Umrah visas will be granted throughout the year except during the Haj season which begins mid-Shawwal (the 10th month of the Islamic calendar) and ends on mid-Muharram (first month on the calendar)."

The issuance of new Umrah visa has been stopped from June 20. With over seven per cent increase in Umrah visa, their number reached to 6.4 million last year.

"This is still below the ministry's ambitious plan of receiving about eight million Umrah pilgrims this year," said Qadi attributing the drop in Umrah pilgrims to the global economic slowdown.

Hifadhi kubwa zaidi ya gesi ya Helium yagunduliwa Tanzania

• Hifadhi kubwa zaidi ya gesi ya Helium yagunduliwa Tanzania

Tanzania ni miongoni mwa mataifa machache duniani yaliyojaliwa kuwa na rasilimali na madini mengi.

Na baada ya kugunduliwa kwa gesi asili huko Mtwara na dhahabu sasa watafiti kutoka Uingereza wamegundua hifadhi kubwa zaidi duniani ya gesi adimu zaidi ya Helium nchini Tanzania.

Watafiti kutoka chuo kikuu cha Oxford na kile cha Durham kwa ushirikiano na wataalumu wa madini kutoka Norway wamegundua uwepo wa takriban futi bilioni 54 za gesi hiyo ya barafu kama inavyofahamika.

Ugunduzi huo umefanyika katika eneo la bonde la ufa la Tanzania.

Katika taarifa kwa wanahabri huko Japan, watafiti hao wanasema kuwa uhaba wa gesi hiyo kote duniani ulikuwa umesababisha taharuki haswa kwa madaktari ambao wanatumia gesi hiyo adimu kuendesha mashine za utabibu zijulikanazo kama MRI scanners, mbali na kutumika katika mitambo ya kinyuklia miongoni mwa sekta zingine nyingi za kawi na teknolojia.

Kabla ugunduzi huo watafiti walikuwa wamebashiri ukosefu wa gesi hiyo baridi ifikapo mwaka wa 2035.

Wataalumu wa madini kutoka Norway wamegundua uwepo wa takriban futi bilioni 54 za gesi hiyo ya barafu kama inavyofahamika.

Fatwa allows transgender marriage in Pakistan

• The fatwa added, a transgender person carrying "visible signs of both genders" may not marry anyone.

At least 50 clerics have issued a fatwa (religious decree) that marriage with a transgender person is now lawful in Pakistan, a media report said on Monday.

The fatwa, released on Sunday by the clerics affiliated with Tanzeem Ittehad-i-Ummat, said a transgender person having "visible signs of being a male" may marry a woman or a transgender with "visible signs of being a female" and vice versa, Dawn online reported.

But, the fatwa added, a transgender person carrying "visible signs of both genders" may not marry anyone.

It declared that robbing transgender people of their share in inheritance was unlawful and that parents who deprive their transgender sons/daughters of inheritance were "inviting the wrath of God".

The clerics called upon the government to take action against such parents.

The decree also dwelt upon societal attitudes towards transgenders. It went to the extent of terming 'haraam' any act intended to "humiliate, insult or tease" them.

The fatwa ended with a word on last rites, declaring that all funeral rituals for a transgender person will be the same as for any other Muslim man or woman.

Brexit: UK votes to leave EU in historic referendum!

CAMERON TO STEP DOWN IN OCTOBER!

The UK has voted to leave the European Union after 43 years in a historic referendum.

Leave won by 52% to 48% with England and Wales voting strongly for Brexit, while London, Scotland and Northern Ireland backed staying in the EU.

UKIP leader Nigel Farage hailed it as the UK's "independence day" but the Remain camp called it a "catastrophe".

The pound fell to its lowest level against the dollar since 1985 as the markets reacted to the results.

The referendum turnout was 71.8% - with more than 30 million people voting - the highest turnout at a UK election since 1992.

Wales and the majority of England outside London voted in large numbers for Brexit.

Labour's Shadow chancellor John McDonnell said the Bank of England may have to intervene to shore up the pound, which lost 3% within moments of the first result showing a strong result for Leave in Sunderland and fell as much as 6.5% against the euro.

'Independence day'

UKIP leader Nigel Farage - who has campaigned for the past 20 years for Britain to leave the EU - told cheering supporters "this will be a victory for ordinary people, for decent people".

Waliobadilishana wake baada ya fumanizi waanza kuzozana

Huko nchini Kenya wanaume wawili ambao walikubaliana kubadilishana wake baada ya mmoja wao kumfumania mwenziye na mkewe katika mazingira tatanishi, wameanza kuzozana.
Makubaliano yao yalitibuka majuzi baada ya mume aliyenaswa akichovya asali ya mwenziwe kutishia kutengua mkataba huo kwa sababu ya upweke.
Yamkini bwana Patrick Mangala, 25 ambaye ni mhudumu wa pikipiki za uchukuzi zinazofahamika huko Kakamega Kenya kama ‘bodaboda’ alimtishia maisha mume wa ‘mkewe’ kuwa angemtoa uhai iwapo hatamrejeshea mkewe.
Lakini bwana Ernest Anjeche, 42 ambaye tayari alikuwa kesha onja asali ya mke wake ”mbichi” na mchanga zaidi kwa umri ,amekataa kata kata kurejesha ”kibuyu”.
Anjeche amegundua ubora wa kijana jike huyo Susan.
”Mimi na mwenzangu Mangala tulikubaliana kuwa kwa sababu alikuwa akiiba mke wangu nikiwa nimekwenda kazini heri basi amchukue kabisa waishi naye.
Hata hivyo sifahamu tena kilichotokea kwa sababu yeye ndiye aliyerudi kwangu akimdai Susan eti kuwa mwenzake amemkimbia” Alisema bawabu wa usiku bw Anjeche.

President Magufuli: Tanzania’s Robin Hood!

President John Magufuli may be reducing corruption and security risks but has also influenced a trend toward increased risk of expropriation, creating uncertainty for foreign investors.

By Elliot Kratt ~ From Global Risk Insights

Tanzania’s government has commenced a national project which will see undeveloped land larger than 20 hectares seized from investors and given to farmers. In May 2016 alone, the government expropriated over 1,800 hectares of land and allocated it to poor Tanzanians; 80% of whom rely on agriculture for their livelihood.

The programme is being implemented because of the widespread problem of investors in agriculture and energy not meeting the requirements of their title deeds, which stipulate that a title holder should develop land within three years rather than holding onto it for ‘speculative value’.

William Lukuvi, Minister for Lands, Housing and Human Settlements Developments, claims that this policy will reduce security risks, such as clashes between communities competing over scarce resources.

The government and particularly President Magufuli have also made significant efforts to curb corruption, which has generated substantial popular support and impressed international donors.

Pig's head left outside Quebec City mosque puts spotlight on Islamophobia

A pig's head left outside a Quebec City mosque is the latest in a string of incidents pointing to a rising tide of Islamophobia in the provincial capital and across Quebec, says a prominent anti-discrimination activist.

Haroun Bouazzi, co-president of the Association of Muslims and Arabs for a Secular Quebec, said there's a "real fear toward places of religious worship in our society," particularly mosques.

Bouazzi said negative comments about Muslims from politicians, including Quebec City Mayor Régis Labeaume, haven't helped matters. 

"Politicians play on those fears, unfortunately," Bouazzi told Radio-Canada on Monday.

Labeaume recently speculated that Montreal mosques are hotbeds of radicalization.

Quebec City's Islamic cultural centre is one of four mosques located in the provincial capital. (Radio-Canada)

He has also said Quebec City would favour Syrian families as refugees over single men because they are "less frightening to people," Bouazzi pointed out.

Bouazzi said it's no coincidence all four mosques in the provincial capital have recently been the target of Islamophobic attacks. Mosques in other parts of the province have also been targeted in recent years, he said.

On Monday, Labeaume denounced the weekend incident, saying the act was committed by "cretins."

The pig's head was found by a regular at the Quebec City mosque around 2:30 a.m. Sunday. (Radio-Canada)

Speaking with reporters, he also praised the response by leaders of the targeted mosque.

​Incident viewed as hate crime

The latest incident happened Sunday at Quebec City's Islamic cultural centre.

The pig's head was accompanied by a note saying: "Bon appétit." The consumption of pork is prohibited by practising Muslims.

Kashfa michoro uwanja wa ndege Zanzibar

Picha: Ni jengo linalotumika sasa kwa shughuli za uwanja wa ndege (Karume Airport), Zanzibar.

SERIKALI ya Mapinduzi ya Zanzibar (SMZ), imepata hasara ya dola za kimarekeni milioni 58.3 baada ya michoro (ramani) ya ujenzi wa jengo la abiria linaloendelea kujengwa kukosewa, imefahamika mjini Zanzibar, jana.

Kwa mujibu wa taarifa ya Kamati ya Kudumu ya Mawasiliano na Ujenzi ya Baraza la Wawakilishi Zanzibar (BLW) imesema gharama za mradi huo zimeongezeka kutoka dola za kimarekani milioni 70 .4 mwaka 2009 mpaka dola milioni 128.7 kutokana na kukosewa kwa michero ya jengo hilo.

Akiwasilisha taarifa ya kamati Makamu Mwenyekiti wa Kamati hiyo, Suleiman Sarahan alisema kuwa mradi huo umebainika kuwa na matatizo ya michoro ya ramani ya ujenzi na kusababisha gharama za marekebisho mara mbili tangu kuanza kwa mradi huo.

“Mheshimiwa Spika kamati yangu imegundua kulikuwa na mapungufu katika mchoro wa awali ikiwemo maegesho ya ndege kuwa karibu mno na jengo la abiria, pamoja na njia ya kurukia ndege kuwa juu kuliko jengo lenyewe.”alisema Sarahan.
