Wasia wa Baba na Funzo Kubwa.
Kuna bwana mmoja muumini aliyekua na hekima na busara, Mola alimjaalia utajiri mkubwa na alikua akiishi na watu vizuri. Kila mtu alikua akimtaja kwa wema na ukarimu. Alipofika umri wa utu uzima alianza kuandamwa na maradhi yasiyokwisha na hatimae akawa anadhoofu siku hadi siku, Hekima yake ilimtuma awaite watoto wake na kuanza kuwausia juu ya maisha gani waishi baada yake.
Aliwausia kila mmoja peke yake na kuwaweka wazi kuwa anaona kama anakaribia kufika mwisho wa maisha yake, Kila siku kaburi linazidi kumsogelea na umri unakatika huku maradhi yakimzidia. Watoto wake walihuzunika sana wakakosa amani. 
Baba aliwataka wanawe wote waondoke na abaki na mtoto mmoja mkubwa, Walipotoka wote alimwambia mwanangu inama kidogo nikupe wasia wangu, Mtoto aliinama akisikiliza kwa makini sauti ya baba yake iliyokua ikisisikika kwa chini na yenye mkwaruzo kwa kuzidiwa na maradhi, Baba akasema: “Mwanangu wasia wangu kwako ni usimamie mazishi yangu, Watakapo nikosha kabla ya kunivika sanda chukua soksi yangu yeyote ya zamani univishe katika mguu wangu wa kushoto”.
Baada ya muda baba aliaga dunia na vilio vikatawala.
Watu walijaa kuja kutoa pole familia na kuanza taratibu za maziko, familia ilimteua mmoja wa maimamu awe kiongozi katika kuosha maiti na kutengeneza sanda, Walipomaliza kuosha kijana alikumbuka wasia wa baba yake, akaenda kuchukua soksi ili aipeleke kabla sanda haijafungwa, akamwambia Imamu samahani baba aliusia avalishwe soksi moja kabla hajatiwa sandani baada ya kukoshwa.. Imam kwa mshtuko alimjibu kijana kwa upole kuwa haiwezekani japo wasia wa marehemu unahifadhiwa, huyu hapaswi kuvishwa chochote zaidi ya sada, kijana machozi yakimmwagika aliendelea kuhimiza wasia wa baba yake na kukatokea mzozo, wanasema avalishwe wengine asivalishwe. Imam akasema wamtafute Sheikh mtaalamu wa sheria za dini ilia toe maelekezo, Sheikh alitafutwa na kuletwa msibani akawatuliza vijana na kuwaeleza kuwa wasia wa marehemu huwa unafatwa lakini si kila mahala, Marehemu hawezi valishwa soksi kwa kuwa si sehemu ya sanda.
Kuna mzee jirani yao alisimama na kumfata Kijana wa marehemu, akamwambia Baba yako alinipa barua nikupe kabla ya mazishi, Kijana akaipokea huku anatetemeka akaifungua na barua yenyewe ilikua inasomeka hivi:
“Mwanagu umeshuhudia mzozo ulipotaka kukamilisha wasia wangu, hawakukuruhusu kunivisha japo soksi moja tu tena ya zamani, Nimekuachieni mali nyingi na sasa ni za kwenu tambueni kuwa siku mtakapoondoka duniani hamtavishwa hata soksi na wala hamtoondoka na mali yeyote zaidi ya sanda zenu, hivyo mcheni mola wenu na tumieni mali hizo katika njia inayomridhisha yeye”.
Hili ni somo kubwa sana, Tujitahidi kuwa wema na kujiondoa kwenye gereza la umimi, ubinafsi na tuishi na watu vizuri, Mali zetu sii kitu bali ubinadamuwetu ndio wenye thamani kuliko mali zenyewe.

#KISA HIKI KIMEKOPIWA KUTOKA KATIKA KURASA YA MTANDAO WA''FACEBOOK'' KWA LENGO LA KUJIFUNZA.

5 Common Kissing Mistakes

                                    

           5 Common Kissing Mistakes

5 Common Kissing Mistakes

Kissing someone is not rocket science, rather it’s the art of caressing someone you love. But while kissing we can often unknowingly make mistakes that can be a disaster. Stop wondering why he/she does not like it when you kiss, here is a list of 5 common kissing mistakes to help you out:
kissing-mistakes
Bad Breath
This is a big turn-off for almost everyone and probably the most basic blunder. Chances are good you might never kiss the same person again! Do something to fix it! Drink plenty of water every day to keep you hydrated and rinse away food odors. The fastest remedies are mint mouthwash, gum, or breath fresheners. Avoid drinking alcohol, smoking cigarettes, or eating fish/onions before your date or when you plan to romance your partner. Hygiene is important and you should maintain it. If you have rotten teeth fix them by seeing your dentist. Brushing your teeth is not enough, floss also, and don’t forget to brush your tongue. Make sure your mouth is clean before you kiss.
5 Common Kissing Mistakes
Fast and Furious 
Usually women like to kiss slowly with seductive movements. Don’t go too fast or push your partner so hard that it hurts. Being too aggressive will spoil the moment. Pay attention to the response from your partner when you kiss them and proceed accordingly. If your girl/guy is consistently resistive, slow down and back off a little. Each seduction has its own pace and you should act accordingly.
Involving tongue
This is something which requires your own judgment. At first you should kiss just using your lips without tongue. Tongue should enter the picture naturally, don’t force it. Don’t put your tongue into their mouth all at once, let it go slowly. See the reaction first then proceed. If you are going to French kiss take your tongue back every once in a while and let your partner crave and chase it.
All wetThis can be a little creepy. Don’t get carried away and put your saliva on your partner’s face, nobody likes it, it can ruin the experience and embarrass you later. Control your tongue and saliva, the trick is to swallow it.
Hands involvement
The movement of your hands matters. Not using hands while kissing is missing out on half the pleasure. Use your hands in the right place, don’t get too pushy, but caress the face and head, the neck a little, then move on to other pleasure zones. Seduce your partner gradually. Sometimes let your partner lead and you just enjoy. One more thing, don’t keep your eyes open while you kiss. Tilt your head to the right and kiss naturally. Don’t get nervous or stop breathing. This will make you look odd.

Moyes reveals second Manchester United bid for Fabregas


Moyes reveals second Manchester United bid for Fabregas

The manager revealed United have made a second bid for the Spain international after their first bid was met with an insistence that the former Arsenal playmaker was not for sale

David Moyes has revealed that Manchester United have made a second bid for Barcelona midfielder Cesc Fabregas.

Last week United revealed an opening offer for the playmaker of €30 million had been made to Barca on Monday. However, Barca vice president Josep Maria Bartomeu insisted on Friday that the 26-year-old is not for sale.

The latest offer is reported to consist of €35m plus add-ons, while the former Arsenal midfielder is contracted to the Blaugrana until 2016.

The United manager told the club's official website: "My understanding is that Ed [Woodward, United's executive vice chairman] had a response and he spoke with them. I think we made a second offer but Ed is dealing with that personally, rather than me."

"When you're interested in good players you want to give it every opportunity to materialise and I'll do that.

"I hope things can continue and move forward. At this moment in time I can only tell you that Ed Woodward is working hard trying to make the deals happen.

"We can only hope that some of them fall into place shortly."

Long-serving midfielder Paul Scholes retired at the end of last season, and the Red Devils' options in the middle of the park going into the new season were further depleted following the news that Darren Fletcher will miss the start of the season as he recovers from surgery.

The Red Devils had previously targeted Spain's under-21 European Championship winning  Thiago Alcantara, but the 22-year-old opted to join former Blaugrana manager Pep Guardiola at Bayern Munich, while the former Everton manager has also been linked with a move for the Toffees' Marouane Fellaini.

I'm not scared of Mourinho: Yaya Toure

Yaya Toure: I'm not scared of Mourinho

The Ivory Coast midfielder is relishing the prospect of coming up against Chelsea and has admitted he is aiming to get in shape ahead of the 2013-14 Premier League campaign


Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure insists he is not scared of Jose Mourinho, and is looking forward to coming up against the new Chelsea manager.

Mourinho left Real Madrid under a cloud to take over at Stamford Bridge in June, and the Blues have been installed as the bookmakers' favourites to lift the Premier League title next season.

But Toure is not fazed by the Portuguese's return to English football and is relishing the challenge of battling with the former Porto coach.
"I am not scared of him," he told Goal. "In fact, I look forward to playing against him. That is how football is. You need to be brave and take all the challenges that come."

The 30-year-old hopes that City will be able to bounce back from a disappointing campaign under the guidance of new manager Manuel Pellegrini, and admitted that he will have to be at the top of his game.

"Looking at our preparations and with the new manager on board, I am confident that things will be better [next season]," he added. "There are a lot of signings that the club has made and I am sure that will have a positive impact on the side.

"With that in mind, I need to up my game and make sure that I am at my peak at all times. I am also hoping that I will stay injury free for the whole season so that I will be able to deliver."

Pellegrini's side got their pre-season tour of South Africa off to a losing start against Supersport United on Sunday, and Toure admits it has been a difficult start to the summer.

"I must be honest, things have been tough here, but we have been working very hard to bounce back," he continued. "Every time the season starts I always want to win something, either with the club or as an individual.

"We were a bit disappointed losing to Supersport United, but it was just part of pre-season training. The game against AmaZulu [on Thursday] is not going to be easy, and we are hoping that it will add value and challenge us."

Lewandowski: Dortmund are forcing me to stay


Lewandowski: Dortmund are forcing me to stay

























The Poland international, who had expected to be allowed to join Bayern Munich this year, believes BVB have went back on their word as the summer saga continues

Robert Lewandowski says he is "astonished" at how he has been treated at Borussia Dortmund.

Lewandowski, 24, believes he had been given assurances that he would be able to exit BVB in this transfer window, with Bayern Munich a likely destination.

But he is adamant the club have reneged on a deal which would have seen the Poland international leave Signal Iduna Park this summer.

"In the second half of the season, I gave everything for Dortmund, as always. I played and scored, knowing that I would be allowed to leave," Lewandowski told Bild Sport.

"I was certain I would be given the green light for a transfer.

"Now all of the sudden everything is different. Unfortunately, I'm forced to stay. I'm astonished at how they're treating me.

"I have to accept that I have to stay in Dortmund."

Lewandowski is set to remain at Signal Iduna Park and run down the rest of his contract which ends in June 2014.

The former Lech Poznan striker started life slowly at Westfalenstadion, but over the past two seasons has emerged as one of Europe’s leading attackers, epitomised by the four goals he scored in a memorable night against Real Madrid in the Champions League semi-final.

The Pole has scored 75 goals in 136 appearances for last season’s Champions League runners-up.







Nelson Mandela spends 95th birthday in hospital



 



  
Children in Johannesburg celebrate Nelson Mandela's birthday in song


 Nelson Mandela is spending his 95th birthday in hospital in Pretoria, as events take place around the world and in South Africa in his honour.

 

 

South Africans are being urged to mark the former president and anti-apartheid leader's 67 years of public service with 67 minutes of charitable acts.
Mr Mandela, who is in critical but stable condition with a recurring lung infection, entered hospital on 8 June.
President Jacob Zuma said his health was "steadily improving".
"We are proud to call this international icon our own as South Africans and wish him good health," said Mr Zuma in a statement.
"We thank all our people for supporting Madiba throughout the hospitalisation with undying love and compassion," he said, referring to Mr Mandela by his clan name.

Well-wishers write messages of support outside the hospital where Nelson Mandela is being treated in Pretoria, South Africa, 17 July 2013

Mr Mandela's daughter, Zindzi, said on Wednesday he had made "dramatic progress", and that she had found him watching television with headphones on and communicating with his eyes and hands when she visited him this week.
"I should think he will be going home anytime soon,'' she told the UK's Sky News television.
Mr Mandela's birthday is also Nelson Mandela International Day, a day declared by the UN as a way to recognise the Nobel Prize winner's contribution to reconciliation.
The former statesman is revered across the world for his role in ending apartheid in South Africa. He went on to become the first black president in the country's first multi-racial elections in 1994.
The governing African National Congress (ANC) said that on this Mandela Day homage was being paid to 95 years of "life well-lived", dedicated to the liberation of South Africans and people all over the world.
Activities throughout the day included:
  • School-children across the country singing a synchronised Happy Birthday to the former president
  • Mandela family members handing out gifts to Mamelodi township residents before holding a birthday lunch with Nelson Mandela. They have prepared 95 cupcakes in his honour
  • President Zuma visiting Mr Mandela in hospital and overseeing the donation of houses to poor white families in the Pretoria area
  • Volunteers spending 67 minutes each renovating schools and orphanages, cleaning hospitals and distributing food to the poor to mark the former statesman's 67 years as a lawyer, activist, prisoner and president
  • Mr Mandela becoming the first recipient of South Africa's new Smart ID Card, introduced on Thursday. His card will be collected on his behalf by his daughter Zindzi
  • The forming of a human chain from Johannesburg's Fashion District into the heart of the city
Events are also taking place internationally, with an image of a large Mandela painting by South African artist Paul Blomkamp featured in New York's Times Square.
British entrepreneur Richard Branson, speaking in a recorded message, has pledged 67 minutes of community service on Thursday to "make the world a better place, one small step at a time".
Meanwhile, concerts are planned later this week in the Australian city of Melbourne, featuring local and African artists.

Mr Mandela's ill-health gives extra poignancy to this year's Mandela Day, correspondents say.
For South Africans, the best birthday present for Mandela would be for him to recover and be among the people who love him most, says the BBC's Pumza Fihlani in Johannesburg.
Winnie Madikizela-Mandela told a local radio station her former husband's 95th birthday was "a gift not only to the family... but to the nation".
She rejected the "prophets of doom" who have warned of chaos in South Africa when Nelson Mandela dies.
"The country will solidify and come together," she told Radio 702.
Mr Mandela's third wife, Graca Machel, said last Friday that she was "less anxious" about his health than before and that he was continuing to respond well to treatment.
Thursday also is the 15th anniversary of the couple's marriage.
Ahead of the anniversary, Mr Mandela's close friend and lawyer George Bizos described them as "a loving couple", the AFP news agency reports.


Mandela's key dates

  • 1918 - Born in the Eastern Cape
  • 1944 - Joined African National Congress
  • 1956 - Charged with high treason, but charges dropped

Spurs squad for Barclays Asia Trophy

Monday 15 July 2013

Bale leads Spurs squad for Barclays Asia Trophy

Triple footballer of the year in 25-man squad named by Andre Villas-Boas for Hong Kong

The Tottenham Hotspur squad for the Barclays Asia Trophy in Hong Kong has been announced with triple Footballer of the Year Gareth Bale leading the way for Andre Villas-Boas’s team.
Spurs will kick off the competition, the only Premier League-affiliated competition to be held outside England, when they take on Sunderland in Hong Kong Stadium on 24 July at 6pm local time (11am BST).
They will be hoping to repeat their victory over Paolo Di Canio’s team on the final match of the 2012/13 Barclays Premier League season, when Bale’s 90th-minute wonderstrike sealed an intriguing match at White Hart Lane. (To see the goal click here)
"The Barclays Asia Trophy lets you step up a level in terms of opposition"
Andre Villas-Boas
Bale, who won the FWA and Barclays Footballer of the Year awards as well as winning the equivalent PFA accolade, is part of a 25-man squad that includes the team who beat Sunderland as well as the return of Sandro, the Brazilian midfielder who missed most of last season through injury. Also in the squad is Danny Rose, the left back, who is set to face his former team-mates in Hong Kong, having starred at Sunderland on loan last season.
Another player Spurs fans will welcome back is France defender Younes Kaboul, who missed much of last season through injury. Spurs’ only signing so far this summer, Paulinho, will not travel to Hong Kong. The midfielder has given extra time to rest having helped Brazil win the FIFA Confederations Cup at the end of last month.
But there will be a host of internationals on display for fans in Hong Kong to see as Villas-Boas looks to build on last season’s record points total of 72 points. All but five players in the squad have appeared for their country at international level.
Villas-Boas views the tournament as ideal participation for the season ahead.
“It is extremely important for us for our preparation,” the Spurs head coach said. “The Barclays Asia Trophy lets you step up a level in terms of opposition because of the other teams that are involved in it and gives us the opportunity to go abroad and continue our preparation in good facilities and in a comparative environment like the one we are going to face over there.
“The most important thing is for you to set up quickly and ready, always raising the competitive levels of the opposition that you are going to face, and the Barclays Asia Trophy offers exactly that.”
After facing Sunderland, Spurs will take on Manchester City or South China in Hong Kong Stadium on 27 July.

De Rossi to stay


The Roma boss is determined to keep the Italy international at the Stadio Olimpico, despite frequent rumours of a move to the Premier League
Roma boss Rudi Garcia has insisted he wants to keep Daniele De Rossi at the Stadio Olimpico, despite interest from Chelsea.

The Giallorossi midfielder endured a difficult 2012-13 campaign, with former coach Zdenek Zeman falling out with the player, leading to his exclusion from the first XI.

However, the Frenchman, who moved to the Italian capital from Lille in June, is eager to ensure the 29-year-old stays put.

"He is a great player and surely it's better to have him with us than to see him leave," he told reporters.

Both Pablo Osvaldo and Mourinhos have been linked with moves away from the Olimpico this summer, with the latter attracting attention from Barcelona, but Garcia says there is no update on their futures.

"He added: They are still with us, we would like to keep the best players. But if they were to leave, we will replace them."

Roma finished a disappointing sixth place in Serie A last season, failing to qualify for the Europa League.
