opinionBy Marycelina Masha
IT was joy all over the country in 1964 when Tanganyika and Zanzibar united to form Tanzania. This happened about four months after the January 12, Revolution which toppled the Sultan of Zanzibar and his mainly Arab government.
We were very little children when all this was happening so, the events didn't mean much to us. We did not even know which was the neighbouring region in our hometown, so Zanzibar sounded like a distant country. That didn't however neutralize our desire to know the Isles and the people's culture.
The dream to travel to Zanzibar became true when I took up a four-week field attachment at the Isle's Institute of Kiswahili and Foreign Languages. More and more trips followed and these led to a lot of findings about Zanzibar. The Islanders are a special people when it comes to customs and traditions.
Adherence to what is generally agreed upon by the community cannot simply be disobeyed. Women for example are expected to wear dresses that cover the body, including their hair, legs and arms. Tight trousers, low neck and short dresses cannot be won in Zanzibar.
Any woman who goes against this dress code will find herself completely out of place and on the whole, feel very uncomfortable. Men too, are expected to dress decently. 'Dropping trousers,' a common but weird style loved by the youth in urban centres, is not a favourite among the Zanzibaris. The practice helps explain the decency and values enshrined in a people's culture.
The latter has managed to sustain its status even after so much contact with Mainlanders who are rather flexible in styles and norms. Even the westerners and easterners who visit the islands as tourists have to adhere to these values.
The good cultural practices also manifest in the way Zanzibaris welcome their visitors. You are in good hands if a resident shows you around in the Stone Town. There will be plenty to eat and drink if he or she invites you for lunch or dinner at home.
If you would be lucky to get such a unique chance, it would be a time to experience the tantalizing aromatic cuisine of the islanders. The Isles' adherence to cultural values echoes similar practices on the Mainland in our rural areas where modernity is yet to ruin the old practices inherited from our ancestors.
We indeed are one country. Another trait that makes us a strong one people is Kiswahili language. Indeed many of the speakers in Zanzibar don't know any other language except Kiswahili. On the Mainland, especially in urban areas, Kiswahili is widely used among the folks, beside the fact that it is the national language.
Some neighbouring countries envy Tanzania for this achievement and praise Mwalimu Julius Nyerere for championing the language which has united Tanzanians of all walks of life. While on a trip to Zanzibar I became familiar with the social problems that people, especially the youth are grappling with.
I was able to interview a couple of them and came up with an idea that unemployment is a thorny issue. The issue of the Union also came up in the interviews. The main problems in Zanzibar, just as is the case on the Mainland are dwindling employment opportunities.
This situation has driven many youth into drug abuse and Jang'ombe area seems to be a hideout for youth who easily get the stuff from dealers. I managed to interview some of the drug addicts after a long and tedious attempt to persuade them to talk. Generally, they would not talk to strangers for fear of being caught or simply being used by someone for his or her financial gain.
The drug consumers said, they had opted to use drugs as a last resort. They had no employment or any other source of income. How were they expected to survive in today's harsh environment where even those who have money complain?
"We are doing drugs out of desperation, nobody likes this kind of life," said one of them. Another youth had three children, but he was being helped to feed his family by his mother as there was nothing else he could do. During the interviews, I came across businessmen and women. We charted a few things on politics. Were they supporting the Union? Did they benefit from it?
The answers have always been positive. The people of Zanzibar are not opposed to the Union. Their desire is to improve their living condition, where children have enough food to eat and can go to school without a hitch. "To us, the Union isn't a problem. Our markets are full of goods from the Mainland and we are free to travel to and from the entire republic.
However, unemployment among the youth is one big problem," says a woman who runs a small restaurant in Unguja. Right from the outset, I learnt that the Union was strong in the minds of many ordinary people and their main concern was whether or not they would be able to get their next meal.
That concern, which is shared by many other Tanzanians on the Mainland, should be the focus on the Constituent Assembly in Dodoma.
A good constitution must listen to the voices of people and give them hope for change. As we celebrate fifty years of the Union, we expect that the peaceful environment which has prevailed for many years will be sustained by all, including politicians opposed to the opinions of the majority.

The Base
Classic Styrofoam or Wire Wreath Frame- This one is pretty self-explanatory. A Styrofoam ring is cheap, and, with pins, easily allows for affixing items to the wreath. Wire frames are also available from crafts stores for a few dollars.
Plastic Platter Rings- Recycle those plastic rings that shrimp and other food platters come on (with the cut out in the middle for dip) to make homemade wreaths. Just cut out more of the center portion, leaving a few inch wide ring.
Hula-hoop- A hula-hoop is the perfect base for a large wreath, such as for bay windows.
Craft or Floral Wire- Sturdy craft or floral wire can be used to make many wreaths, such as floral or beaded wreaths.
Clothes Hanger- A clothes hanger can be bent into a circle for a convenient wreath ring.
Flexible vines- Bend flexible natural branches or vines (ivy, grape, honeysuckle) into wreaths and secure with wire. You can also purchase plain grapevine wreaths at garden centers to then embellish.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is assembling an ambitious second-term agenda, pushing aggressively where he thinks he has political leverage but moving more cautiously on issues where he has less control.
Obama is hiking pressure on congressional Republicans on the debt ceiling and immigration, two big issues in which public sentiment and political risks seem to favor him.
His refusal to negotiate on the debt ceiling is an especially sharp departure from his usually accommodating style. Obama is gambling that Republicans will yield to fears of a ferocious public backlash if they leave the government unable to pay its bills in their push for spending cuts.
But it is a risk. Unresolved brinkmanship over the debt ceiling could lead to an economic calamity that would damage Obama's second term and eventual legacy — not to mention Americans' lives.
Meanwhile, outrage over the Connecticut grade school massacre forced the president to seek a gun-control package ahead of expectations. Americans have resisted significant gun-limiting bids for years, however, and the pro-gun-rights lobby remains powerful. Also, there's less Democratic unity on this issue than on many others.
Obama's allies already are dampening expectations on key components, including an assault weapons ban.
Vice President Joe Biden, who stood at Obama's side as the president announced his proposals on Wednesday, said, "I have no illusions about what we're up against or how hard the task is in front of us. ... We should do as much as we can, as quickly as we can."
Among the second term's top-tier issues, immigration may be the one in which Obama enjoys the most leverage. That's a dramatic change from his first term, when it was relegated to the background.
The White House is hinting at a comprehensive bill this year that would include a path toward citizenship for millions of immigrants now in the country illegally.
Many Republicans, stung by heavy losses among Hispanic voters in the last two presidential elections, say they also want to revamp the nation's immigration laws. But a sweeping bill with citizenship provisions is bound to draw some conservative fire. If Obama goes big, it could put GOP leaders in a bind.
A CBS News poll last month found that 47 percent of adults felt illegal immigrants working in the U.S. should be allowed to remain and eventually apply for citizenship. An additional 24 percent said they should be allowed to stay as guest workers.
The levels of support were higher than a CBS poll found 15 months earlier.
Such findings, coupled with Latino voters' rejection of Republican candidates in 2008 and 2012, could enable Obama to drive a hard bargain on immigration if he chooses.
On the debt ceiling, he already has chosen a newly tough public posture.
Every year or so, lawmakers must raise the ceiling to enable the government to keep paying the bills Congress racks up through deficit spending. The issue became bitterly partisan in 2011, when Republicans demanded deep spending cuts and other concessions for their cooperation on the debt limit.

Modular Java: comparison of OSGI with other systems and approaches and how they can be combined

I'm interested in your opinions on the following topic:
(means: Java SE 6, Java EE 6) has no real mechanism for declaring modules and their interdependencies. The topic is quite complicated, and involves among others capabilities like: declarative describtion of modules, their dependencies, versioning, automatic resolving dependencies (using e.g. repositories of modules), etc. There are, however, many approaches/idea/specifications which are linked to this topic somehow. What's interesting, there seems to me that exists clear division between compile-time and runtime. For compile time, we have
and Ivy. For runtime, there is OSGI + Spring DM + Spring dm server. There are also other related specification, which I'm not even sure about their current status and scope (JSR-277, JSR-291 - that's actually OSGI, right?, JSR-294). There are also other tools: pax, bundlor etc...
From my point of view it's questionable if the compile/runtime division makes any sense. WOuldn'be be best if maven or ivy used the same module metadata as osgi? There are obviously technical differences and problems here, for example maven uses this silly groupId-artifactId scheme for identificaton (how on earth did they invent this crazy idea instead of single package-based id? I can't imagine).
So the interesting topic is: what's the possible future of this systems/approaches? What are the chances of having them unified and/or integrated? If the OSGi is the clean winner in runtime scope (is it?) is there any chance that we'll have the compile-time system based on OSGI metadata soon?

Let me start by saying that I'm a Hunger Games gal. I thought that series was the end for me; the top of the bold, brave mountain of perfect Young Adult (YA) literature. I would keep reading YA, I figured, but I would be standing at the top of Everest looking down to do it. How would it get better than Suzanne Collins' frenetic pacing, allusion to contemporary politics, consice, brutal descriptions, gasp-inducing action, and the name Katniss Everdeen? Let me tell you, friends. It could be about a war that has ALREADY HAPPENED IN REAL LIFE, equally terrible to Panem's child slaughter. It could have a female protaginist infinitely more invested in directing her own fate than Katniss was, Collins forgive me. It could still be as tightly wound as a top, as intricately plotted as any good twist-ending requires, and equally stupefying in violence and intrigue. It could contain the names of monarchs and spies, Nazis and codes. It could be Code Name Verity, the best book I've read this year, and the new YA Everest.
We've been posting for a couple of weeks about The Big Feminist BUT, a comics anthology about women, men, and feminism, and today's post is the last in our series. It's from Lauren Weinstein, author of Girl Stories, and the piece—titled "If This is All You Get"—is about one area where the many "buts" of feminism often converge—parenting.
We're back with more big BUT: This week, a story from Barry Deutsch about masculinity and camp. (The summer kind.)
Laurie Penny is an English journalist whose work on protest movements, sex, and desire has been at the forefront of feminist writing of the last few years. Molly Crabapple is a New York artist whose Victorian-inspired work includes Shell Game, a crowd-sourced series of ornate paintings of the 2011 financial-world metdowns and revolutions. This summer, these two kickass women travelled to Greece together, and their gorgeous new e-book, Discordia, is the result. The graphic novel–meets–travelogue pairs Penny's gritty, witty reportage with Crabapple's pen-and-ink drawings for an on-the-ground portrait of a nation adrift in both crisis and possibility. It's out now on Vintage Digital, and Emily McAvan chatted with the authors about meaning, mythologizing, and why Hunter S. Thompson owes a debt to his lady-journo forebears.
Whether you're shopping for a long-time comics reader or someone who's new to the world of graphic novels (maybe you're just looking for a good page turner for yourself, we won't tell), click through for some quality 2012 releases of the graphic persuasion.
Dear Dawn: Aileen Wuornos in Her Own Words is a significant book because it is probably the only chance we will ever have to hear Wuornos' life story the way she herself narrated it. Wuornos wrote to her close childhood friend, Dawn Botkins, from death row for over ten years. This prolific volume of letters has been abridged and reproduced by editors Lisa Kester and Daphne Gottlieb with Dawn's permission and help. Dear Dawn comes a decade after Wuornos' execution. Reading the letters in the book, one gets a sense that "Lee" was trying to grasp at the truths of her own life as she wrote them down for Dawn—to get her story on paper before her death.
Do you like comics? Do you like feminism? Do you think it's bunk that publishers have no compunction about saying things like, "We can't sell a book with the word 'feminist' in the title"? Then you might want to know about a new comics anthology called The Big Feminist BUT. Editors Shannon O'Leary and Joan Reilly explain:
Women now regularly run for the highest offices in the land, BUT turn the channel and we're bombarded with Teen Moms and Real Housewives. Women can have any career they want, BUT they still have to contend with the tick tick tock of their biological clocks when it comes to their love lives. Of course, these days women can also choose not to have children at all, BUT will they really ever be truly fulfilled if they don't? What do we really mean when we start a sentence with the disclaimers, "I'm not a feminist BUT…" or "I am 100% a feminist BUT…
What do our great big "BUTS…" say about where things stand between the sexes in the 21st Century?"
Lidia Yuknavitch gives the term "body language" fresh meaning in her debut novel, Dora: A Headcase (Hawthorne Books). In response to Sigmund Freud's famous case study, "Dora: An Analysis of a Case of Hysteria," Yuknavitch recasts 19th-century teen Ida Bauer, or Dora, as a 17-year old punk-rock video artist in modern-day Seattle.
In the original study, Freud chalked up Dora's loss of voice and coughing fits to repressed sexual feelings for both her father and an old man named Herr K whose wife happened to be sleeping with her father. Feminists have long since debunked Freud's repressive analysis and the whole "hysteria" diagnosis, but with Dora: A Headcase Yuknavitch retells the story via Dora herself. Along with a troupe of gender-bending misfit pals—Obsidian, Ave Maria, Little Teena, and the Rwandan drag queen and den mother Marlene—Dora uses art and technology to reclaim her voice and write her own sexuality. Pill popping, guerrilla art attacks, a Jungian foursome, and a symbolic castration that Freud himself would have a field day with? Yuknavitch's Dora is a girl on fire. Nina Lary caught up with the acclaimed author to hear more.
At least half – if not two-thirds – of the essays in Drinking Diaries (a newly published book spawned by the blog of the same name) are downers. That stands to reason: alcohol is a depressant, and as I've written before in this series, historically women have borne its consequences more severely than men.
If the book sometimes feels like a long self-help meeting—with one story after another about hitting bottom, living with the consequences of a parent's or friend's drinking or simply realizing it's time to slow down—there are also moments of complexity and nuance. Rita Williams's lyric essay, "The Root Cellar," is hardly about drinking at all: it's actually about class and racial identity, and how her failure to deliver a bottle of homemade dandelion wine on time bore disastrous consequences for a coworker. Jane Friedman's "Drinking as a Genuine Vocation" made me want to be her friend for life, and Samantha Dunn's "Slake," about her mother's death due to alcoholism (that is, but due to an untreated infection from falling on broken glass) resists easy answers about the causes of her mother's thirst for booze.

Our hands-down favorite accessory for upping a holiday table's festive-factor is the humble ball ornament. Sold virtually everywhere this time of year, ball ornaments are super-affordable (opt for shatter-free plastic), come in a rainbow of match-your-décor colors and offer limitless tabletop possibilities. Here are just a few ideas:
A holiday table just isn't a holiday table without the warm glimmer of candlelight. But if your guests include rambunctious kids (or adults, for that matter), it might be wise to eschew real flames in favor of battery-operated candles. Today's "faux" candles are more realistic than ever, with flickering flames that can be timer-set. Some even exude a cozy candle scent. Easy centerpiece tip: Cluster candles of varying heights together on a small decorative mirror and scatter ice cream salt around the bases for an icy-snow look.
Have you joined the cake stand craze? If not, the holidays are a perfect time to treat yourself to a few of these charmingly practical serving pieces. Use glass or ceramic cake stands of differing heights to add interest to your holiday buffet table, then pile on the eats and treats. Create a cohesive look by wrapping each cake stand base with the same wire ribbon.
No budget for new serving pieces? No problem! Just display plated appetizers on stacks of books covered in holiday paper or fabric for an eye-pleasing tableau.
Layer on the imagination to create a kids' table that will keep your littlest party-goers happy and occupied. Cover the entire child- designated table with durable brown craft paper. Next, give each child his or her own markers in a delightful pair of homemade Santa's gloves: Simply wrap white napkin "cuffs" around the top of red stretchy children's gloves (check your local dollar store). Put flatware inside the left glove and markers in the right glove—and you've provided the perfect encouragement for some holiday doodling, not to mention a fun and practical party favor.
We know, we know — those holiday dinnerware sets are crazy cute. But instead of forking over big bucks for the entire collection of reindeer soup bowls and snowmen dessert plates that'll come out only once a year, opt for setting your table with inexpensive white plates instead. Then let colorful napkins, chargers, glassware, placemats and a holiday-themed serving dish or two add festive pop. (Bonus: Food tends to look even more delicious when plated on white!)
Here's an earthy and inexpensive 1-2-3 recipe for a stunning holiday table. First: Create a runner with a long strip of burlap (available at fabric stores) down the length of your table. Second: Fill a simple glass or earthenware vase with small birch branches and clipped evergreen sprigs for a centerpiece. Third: Top each place setting with a twine-tied napkin festooned with a pinecone.

Water changing this week
CORPUS CHRISTI - City water is now being treated with a straight chlorine disinfectant.
A switch from a chlorine/ammonia blend disinfectant is needed to address lower levels of disinfectant that led to a boil-water advisory two weeks ago.
Eduardo Garaña, Corpus Christi water superintendent, said the switch happened at 1:30 p.m. today and chlorine-treated water will leave the plant by about 7:30 p.m.
The chlorine-treated water will take as long as seven days to get through the system to residents' faucets, depending on the distance from the water treatment plant in the Calallen area.
Users may smell a stronger chlorine odor and see a reddish or pinkish tint in what comes out of the tap, but it's safe to drink, Garaña said. Shaking or refrigerating water can alleviate a change in smell and running the tap for about 10 seconds can diminish the color, he said.
The city received permission from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality for the switch July 27 and planned for it to start last week. That was delayed to give more time for water users to adjust to the different disinfectant blend.

Wow, what a bad call...just terrible. Joey should have had an at bat there.
Grandal strikes out looking. 5 Ks for Arroyo.
That's called a catch all the time.
2014 Reds record: 1-2
I look like a banker in this...
Nice backwards K there...
I am going to make the most daring prediction of all time. Someday, some how, Stubbs will get at least one more hit in his major league career.
"But I do know Joey's sister indirectly (or foster sister) and I have heard stories of Joey being into shopping, designer wear, fancy coffees, and pedicures."
Alonso walks
That last ball was strike 2
Umps are better than ever but umps in 1961 when I was a kid didn't have clear as a bell close ups on every computer screen of every fan right there either....clamor for replay if you like but don't blame the umps - there's as good as it is possible to be on the close ones.
Just my opinion.
Venable singles to left. 1st and 2nd.
Nice piece of hitting by Venable. Behind in the count, Opposite field hard grounder right in the hole.
Counsell's 0 for 45 right now and hasn't gotten any press over it (one off the record)
I would really like for the Reds to score a few runs...K thanks.

...or push it back a bit?
A little context is in order.
During the late '70s or maybe early '80s a magazine entitled Baseball Digest ran an article that mentioned the fact that only a couple of pitchers could touch 90 MPH with their fastball. 90 MPH used to be the benchmark of a pitcher with a very good fastball.
Fast forward to today and a 90 MPH fastball is really only average at best. Does it surprise anyone at all when they hear someone throws mid-90's nowadays? Players are bigger and stronger and throw the ball harder. I was reading the profiles on the draftees and every pitcher it seems can throw in the mid-90s.
So what if this trend continues? What happens when 95 MPH is nothing special and 100 MPH becomes the benchmark?
Last night we got a glimpse of what happens when a pitcher can touch 100 MPH with control, along with complementary off-speed pitches. It seems logical to believe that with more pitchers being able to throw harder, that there are going to be be more of those pitchers with both control and off-speed stuff.
How do batters adapt? Can they increase bat speed? Do all but the best start to choke up and become contact hitters?

Just feel blessed and so thankful to have him. I don't know what I would do with myself if he wasn't here!
Anybody else have an amazing DH they're not completely annoyed with!? Lol
P.S. yes! He does get on my last nerves at times! But always seems to make up for it someway :)

Album Summary
Notes & Reviews:
World Premiere Recording: After the release of the "Manfred" Symphony, which began the Cologne orchestra's Tchaikovsky cycle, Dmitri Kitayenko and the Gürzenich Orchestra take on the composer's more popular symphony, the "Pathetique." Kitayenko was appointed honorary conductor of the Orchestra in March 2009 and has studied in Moscow with Leo Ginzburg and in Vienna with Hans Svarovsky.
American Record Guide
... this is one of the finest recordings I've heard in a while, and certainly the single BEST Tchaikovsky performance I've ever heard from this conductor...
The Gürzenich-Orchester Köln is plainly a fine ensemble: poised, cultured, eminently articulate. The arrival of the first movement's second subject is well timed and tender, the tone not at all "overt", the phrasing very gracious. Beautiful clarinet-playing invokes a faded memory of it, a seamless switch to bass clarinet probing unfathomable darkness. But the seismic arrival of the development is at once too emphatic, too "controlled". As it spills over into that deep sostenuto in the strings, the sheer intensity of the sound is impressive with Kitajenko urging his first trumpet to twist the knife on the harmony. But still the feeling of a cool head prevails.
Recording information: Probensaal der Städt, Bühnen Köln (01/2010).

Make these sweet and crunchy pecan bars for your holiday gift giving. Why are we sharing the recipe now? Frankly, what would a recipe be, without plenty of testing? We plan on making them tonight, just for research of course.
These are sturdy enough for shipping, and they would make a wonderful surprise for someone's lunchbox as well.
Thanks to Foodista member: Soffia Wardy, for this sweet and crunchy dessert.

Top officials from the Office of Management and Budget and the General Services Administration told lawmakers Jan. 14 that they are making progress in cutting conference and travel spending after the 2012 scandal that revealed millions spent on lavish government meetings.
OMB Deputy Director for Management Beth Cobert and GSA Administrator Dan Tangherlini pointed to online tracking tools, virtual and videoconferencing, webinars and other digital options as measures that have been instituted to save taxpayers billions of dollars.
The new approaches have also improved transparency and collaboration among agencies, the officials told the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.
"We used the attention brought to this matter and the mistakes that were made" -- in particular an $800,000 GSA training conference in Las Vegas in 2010 -- to "do a top-to-bottom review of the agency," Tangherlini said.
GSA's E-Gov Travel Service, enhanced IT tools such as videoconferencing, spending caps and the cancellation of some events have reduced government travel costs by $3 billion since 2010, Cobert said in her testimony.
"There's a lesson to be learned on how to apply technology," she added.
Tangherlini said guidelines such as the $500,000 spending cap on conferences, with certain exceptions, are proving effective, and Cobert agreed. Even so, Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.), the committee's ranking member, reiterated his calls for new legislation to strengthen the guidelines.
Other committee members asked Cobert and Tangherlini whether they believed new laws are needed, but neither gave an affirmative answer. Cobert stressed satisfaction with the guidelines OMB has put in place and cited specific savings in the past year, including $181 million at the Treasury Department, $99 million at the Interior Department and $35 million at the Environmental Protection Agency.
"We continue to see progress, and we're very heartened about that," Cobert said. "We think that the administrative rulings we've put in place will drive those changes in behavior over the long term and also provide enough flexibility to make sure the guidelines we've put in place are neither too stringent [nor] too lenient as opportunities arise -- for example, to use technology where there are good substitutes for people being there in person."

After two months on the job studying DOD's cybersecurity and IT needs, Secretary Ashton Carter is set to unveil a new Pentagon cyber strategy in Silicon Valley.
The failure of massive federal IT projects can usually be traced to poor management. The solution is as multilayered as the projects themselves.
The next step will be to focus on the outputs and outcomes (results achieved) and not merely the inputs (cost) and processes (means).
In the spirit of section 10 of the GPRA Modernization Act (GPRAMA), it would be good if:
a) conference agendas were published as performance plans (target results) in an open, standard, machine-readable format like StratML; and
b) the results achieved were documented in the attendees' personal performance plans, linking those results to .gov/.mil goals and objectives.
