Two Japan Survivors Pulled From Rubble .....

Two survivors of the Japan earthquake have been pulled alive from the rubble, four days after the 9.0 magnitude tremor.

A 70-year-old woman was found alive in her house in the town of Otsuchi in Iwate prefecture, public broadcaster NHK reported. She was suffering from hypothermia but was not in a life-threatening condition, it said, adding that she had been hospitalised.

A man, whose age was not given, was rescued in the town of Ishimaki in Miyagi prefecture, the network said.
Miyagi was particularly badly hit by the quake and the subsequent tsunami that swept away whole towns and villages. Emergency personnel were reported to have found 2,000 bodies in the prefecture on Monday.
The rare rescues came just a day after a four-month-old girl was plucked - apparently uninjured - from the rubble of the town of Ishinomaki, also in Miyagi.
Emergency workers had rescued 15,000 people and about 550,000 had been evacuated to about 2,600 shelters across six prefectures by Monday, Kyodo News reported.
However, local officials are estimated to have lost contact with about 30,000 people.
Roads and rail, power and ports have been crippled across much of the northeast of Japan's Honshu island, hampering relief efforts.
The government has mobilised 100,000 soldiers to deliver food, water and fuel and around 70 countries have offered assistance.
"It is the elderly who have been hit the hardest," said Patrick Fuller of the International Federation of Red Cross, in a memo written from Ishinomaki.

"The tsunami engulfed half the town and many lie shivering uncontrollably under blankets. They are suffering from hypothermia having been stranded in their homes without water or electricity."
The Japanese Red Cross has deployed about 90 medical teams who are trying to provide the basics in care for 430,000 in remote towns spread along the coast.

Washed away: Three tsunami-swept towns

As Japanese authorities continue to assess the damage from Friday's 8.9 magnitude earthquake and tsunami, chilling details are emerging about towns washed away and massive numbers of residents gone in a flash. When officials checked in on Minamisanriku, a town of 17,000 in the Miyagi prefecture, the news was devastating. The coastal town close to the epicenter in Sendai was destroyed in the tsunami. 9,500 residents, comprising more than half of the town, are missing. The missing Minamisanriku residents are feared dead, with crushed under buildings or washed out to sea.
About 7,500 Minamisanriku residents evacuated to shelters.

About 2,000 bodies were found Monday on two shores in Japan's Miyagi prefecture after last week's 9.0-magnitude quake and a massive tsunami, Xinhua reported. About 1,000 bodies were found on a shore in Ojika peninsula and another 1,000 have been spotted on the shore of Minamisanriku town. The Miyagi prefecture in northeast Japan is one of the hardest-hit areas in last Friday's earthquake. The findings will significantly increase the death toll, officials said. 

BABU WA LOLIONDO.

Mungu anaweza kumtumia kila mtu kama babu wa Loliondo......

Something big and quiet unusual has been happening in Tanzania Loliondo Arusha. People are flocking the area from all over Tanzania including Government Officals, UN workers, citizens and almost 1000 cars heading there all because..........

It is believed there is a cure out there to chronic diseases such as Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, Cancer and even HIV/AIDS. This medication as claimed is being provided by an old man who is a retired Rev. of the KKKT Lutheran church in Loliondo by the name of Ambilikile Mwasapile (76).

According to sources (Mwananchi Jumapili newspaper) which visited him at his residence - He told them that he was instructed by God through his dreams in 1991 about this medication and what he should do to heal people with serious illnesses such as cancer and diabetes and asthma at first and later on in another dream that is when he was told by God that it could also heal people with HIV/AIDS. The dream kept occuring to him several times and last year on August 26 that was when he decided to start the healing work.

The treatment only costs Tshs 500, and its just one cup of the medication which should not be repeated once taken, and it comes from the tree shown below called(Mugariga) not sure what language that is!!

Before the medication is given out he prays for it and then boils it in clean water. He also claims that in order for the medication to work he has to be the only one who administers it to the patient and it starts working straight away!!! There have been reports from some people who have been there and used the medication, that claim to be healed!!!!!

Video of fierce Egypt clashes as pro-govt crowds attack anti-Mubarak pro...

Dramatic video as thousands clash with Egypt riot police in Cairo

Mambo bado si shwari Misri.......

CAIRO — Thousands of Egyptian protesters gathered in a central Cairo square on Friday to force the immediate resignation of President Hosni Mubarak, in what the crowd dubbed the "Friday of departure."

"Today is the last day ... today is the last day!" protesters shouted as Arabic pop songs blared from a bank of speakers: "For Egypt, today is a day a celebration!"
Many of the crowd had kept vigil in Tahrir (Liberation) Square overnight, while others pitched tents or slept on the ground, defying calls from the army and the vice president that they should go home because their demands had been heard.
As the protests demanding an end to 30 years of Mubarak rule entered their 11th day, the army began removing barricades the protesters had erected after supporters of the president launched a deadly assault on them two days ago that left at least 13 dead and more than 1,200 wounded.
Story: Mubarak warns of chaos if he quits now Organizers called on people to march from wherever they were toward the square, the state television building and the parliament building — all within a mile of one another.
Defense Minister Hussein Tantawi and senior army officials visited the square in a sign that Egypt's most powerful institution was sanctioning the demonstration.
The Obama administration said it was in talks with top Egyptian officials about the possibility of Mubarak immediately resigning and an interim government forming before free and fair elections this year.
 

The creation of a military-backed caretaker government was one of several ideas being discussed, said the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive diplomatic talks that are continuing.
Among those options is a proposal for Mubarak to resign immediately and cede power to a transitional government run by Vice President Omar Suleiman.
Mubarak supporters on the main highway from Alexandria blocked cars from entering Cairo to prevent anti-Mubarak protesters from joining the demonstrations, a witness said.
Witnesses in the square said that soon after daybreak six army trucks had pulled up and soldiers begun dismantling a barrier at the northern end, prompting fears of a repeat of Wednesday's attack by men throwing Molotov cocktails, wielding sticks and charging on camels and horses.
"Protesters ran to argue with the army, but an officer said 'we are on your side, but we have orders from above to clear all barricades'," said Omar el-Mahdi, 28, who was one of those who went to talk to the army.
"This will open the way for thugs to come in unhindered," he added.
Protesters had formed human chains to guard the square and were checking the bags and identification cards of people as they entered to keep out pro-Mubarak supporters.
Protesters said barbed wire had been put out at all 12 entrance points to the square.
Vote: How do you feel about the events unfolding in Egypt? Protester Shaaban Mindawy, 24, said the army, working with police, had been trying to prevent people from entering the square since Thursday evening.
"The officers were very stubborn," Mindawy said, having found a way in from a side street. "The army was confiscating food and medical supplies that people were trying to bring inside. The officers were telling people that thugs may attack them and take their money."

At the judges' houses she performed "Cooler Than Me"but suffered a throat infection and was unable to complete her song.She was given a second chance, but broke down sobbing and could not complete the song. Despite this, she was picked as one of the final three girls by mentor Cole. Lloyd sang a rendition of "Just Be Good to Me" in the first of the live shows. In the second live show she sang "Hard Knock Life (Ghetto Anthem)". In the fourth live show she sang "Stay" and did not rap for the first time. Cowell called the performance the best of the series.

Cowell, Cole and Walsh all saved her, resulting in Paije Richardson being eliminated.In the semi-final, Lloyd performed "Nothin' on You" and "Love the Way You Lie" and was in the bottom two with Mary Byrne. She was saved by the judges and put through to the final,where she performed a mashup of "The Clapping Song" and "Get Ur Freak On", followed by a duet with will.i.am, which was a mashup of "Where Is the Love?" and "I Gotta Feeling". Lloyd was then eliminated in fourth place, having received the fewest public votes.

HUGH MASEKELA.......

INTERNATIONALLY acclaimed for decades, trumpeter, bandleader, composer and lyricist Hugh Masekela is known for his professionalism and charisma to fans of his mix of jazz, bebop, funk and Afrobeat from New York to Dakar.

Hugh draws on years of diverse artistic influences, with an abundance of records to his credit. His latest album - modestly titled "Sixty" - crowns over four decades of a prolific career, and by August 2000 had attained "platinum" status in South Africa, with sales exceeding 50 000 units.

Of all the musicians exiled by apartheid, it was Masekela who probably became the most noted of South Africa’s cultural ambassadors-at-large – and certainly one who has emerged unbowed and kicking from the rigours of those hard, fast years.

By the age of 20, he was in full swing as a member of the Jazz Epistles with renowned pianist Abdullah Ibrahim, having taken up the trumpet in his teens with the encouragement of the late Father Trevor Huddleston, his school chaplain. One of his first trumpets came from none other than Louis Armstrong. Huddleston met the legendary American jazzman while on a trip to New York, and returned with the instrument that would play a part in setting Masekela on a trajectory around the globe.

Masekela arrived in London in 1960 to study at the Guildhall School of Music, but then took off for New York, where he studied in Manhattan. His first album, Trumpet Africa, came out in 1962. His live album two years later, The Americanisation of Ooga Booga, became a hit, kicked off by Californian radio playlists.

The single 'Grazing in the Grass' in the early seventies topped the Rolling Stones’ Jumping Jack Flash and Herb Alpert’s This Guy’s in Love with You in the US charts.

After retouching his roots with the likes of Caiphus Semenya, Jonas Gwangwa and Dudu Pukwana, he moved on to West Africa and teamed up with Fela Anikulapo Kuti’s band in Lagos.
"I stayed at the Mainland Hotel and joined up with Fela every day. I found certain vitality in Afrobeat. Playing with the band was like being on a big fat cloud. You couldn’t fall off."

Some of the eighties was spent closer to home, in Lesotho but mostly Botswana, where in 1984 he had set up a mobile studio and recorded Techno-Bush , with the memorable dance-hit single Don’t Go Lose It Baby.

After signing to Warner Brothers in 1987 he released Tomorrow, a smooth production which mixed tougher-hewn tracks with the Mandela tribute, Bring Him Back Home and the ballad London Fog.

Paul Simon’s Graceland tour delivered a new kind of exposure to Masekela, alongside Miriam Makeba, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, and with fellow South African bandmembers such as Bakithi Khumalo, Morris Goldberg and Tony Cedras.

In 1990, Masekela returned to South Africa, and soon embarked on a mammoth homecoming spectacle, billed as "Sekunjalo" ("This is IT!"). Accompanied by Sankomota and Bayete, the show - which ran in excess of 4 hours - played to capacity audiences at over 15 shows from Pietersburg in the North, through Joburg and Durban, the Eastern Cape and Cape Town.

Masekela's homecoming has been an inspiration for him, and the many South African musicians who have worked with and alongside him. His pivotal role as a musican and bandleader extends into that of mentor, commentator, and a cross-generational reference point for South African cultural life. He has continued to record, and of course, to tour internationally. The events - from special to the ordinary - which he has performed at, defy listing.

Masekela takes his place among those near-legendary South African artists, who with their pan-African experience and global horizons, have carved out an international landscape for South African music.

YVONNE CHAKA CHAKA THE PRINCESS OF AFRICA

Yvonne Chaka Chaka is commonly known as the Princess of Africa-- her instantly recognisable name at the forefront of South African music is synonymous with her catchy tunes, compelling performances and a versatility of style.

Her successful career has spawned more than 16 albums and a string of gold and platinum hits both locally and in the rest of Africa and award- winning albums including a SAMA Award for Best Female Singer. She’s worked with some of the best and most respected musicians and producers in the industry such as Sello 'Chicco' Twala, Sipho ‘Hotstix’ Mabuse and Gabi Le Roux.

Chaka Chaka was born in Dobsonville in Soweto. She became the first Black child to appear on South African television. In 1981 "Sugar Shack", a talent show, introduced her to the South African public.She started singing at 19 in 1985 when Phil Hollis of Dephon Records discovered her in Johannesburg. Shortly after, her debut album "I’m in Love With a DJ", sold 35,000 copies, and the title track became an instant hit. Songs like "I'm Burning Up", "I Cry for Freedom", "Makoti", "Motherland" and the ever-popular, "Umqombothi" immediately ensured Chaka Chaka's status as a star on South Africa's mbaqanga music scene.

Chaka Chaka had it tough growing up. Her father died when she was 11 and her mother, a domestic worker, brought up three daughters on her meagre R40 a month salary. But Yvonne persisted, and has two diplomas from the University of South Africa, one in adult education, another in local government, management and administration. She also studied speech and drama at Trinity College, London, qualifying in 1997.

Releasing hit after hit, Chaka Chaka's subsequent award winning albums include "Burning Up", "Sangoma", "Who’s The Boss", "Motherland", " Be Proud to be African", "Thank You Mr DJ", "Back on my Feet", "Rhythm of Life", "Who's got the Power", "Bombani ( Tiko Rahini), "Power of Afrika", "Yvonne and Friends" and "Kwenzenjani".

Chaka Chaka owns a limousine company together with her husband, Dr Mandlalele Mhinga, has her own music label and her own production company. She teaches literacy part time at the University of South Africa, sits on several boards of charitable organisations and NGOs, and serves on the board of the Johannesburg Tourism Company.

Throughout her illustrious career Yvonne has met people like Nelson Mandela (singing at his 85th birthday party), the Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom and Oprah Winfrey.

Chaka Chaka's continuing legacy as "Princess of Africa" is a testament to her connection to everyday people as well as royalty. Whether she is performing for Kings and Queens, Presidents and First Ladies or corporate concerts; she always returns to those she loves - her fans and family of listeners in South African cities, townships and rural areas. "Mama Africa", Miriam Makeba describes her as "She’s my baby!", Hugh Masekela adds that Yvonne is "my mad niece". Legends Dolly Rathebe and Dorothy Masuka describe Yvonne's music as "something that all should listen to".

When asked who she admired most, Chaka Chaka said "My mother because she has always been there for me. My mother raised three daughters single-handedly on a domestic workers salary. That took great courage and strength. She is my mentor and hero. When I was born in 1965 in Soweto, it was during apartheid, and those were extremely difficult times. My dad was a great musician who could never realize his dream. He died when I was 11 years old. I inherited my talent from both parents, so music has always been in my blood. When I was little I would strum an empty tin and blow into a broom stick pretending it was a microphone. I sang in church choirs. I loved singing. I am blessed that I achieved my destiny, and been able to accomplish what my father could not."

Christmass Tree yenye gharama kuliko yooooote duniani........huu hapa!!!!!

UAE hotel erects 11-million-dollar Christmas tree

It is the "most expensive Christmas tree ever," with a "value of over 11 million dollars," said Hans Olbertz, general manager of Emirates Palace hotel, at its inauguration.

The 13-metre (40-foot) faux evergreen, located in the gold leaf-bedecked rotunda of the hotel, is decorated with silver and gold bows, ball-shaped ornaments and small white lights.
But the necklaces, earrings and other jewellery draped around the tree's branches are what give it a record value.
It holds a total of 181 diamonds, pearls, emeralds, sapphires and other precious stones, said Khalifa Khouri, owner of Style Gallery, which provided the jewellery.
"The tree itself is about 10,000 dollars," Olbertz said. "The jewellery has a value of over 11 million dollars -- I think 11.4, 11.5."
This will probably be an entry into the Guinness book of world records, Olbertz said, adding that Emirates Palace planned to contact the organisation about the tree which is to stay until the end of the year.
Asked if the tree might offend religious sensibilities in the United Arab Emirates, where the vast majority of the local population is Muslim, Olbertz said he did not think it would. "It's a very liberal country," he said.
The hotel has had a Christmas tree up in previous years, but this year "we said we have to do something different," and the hotel's marketing team hatched the plan, said Olbertz.
The tree is not the first extravagant offering from Emirates Palace -- a massive, dome-topped hotel sitting amid fountains and carefully manicured lawns.
The hotel, which bills itself as seven-star, in February introduced a package for a seven-day stay priced at one million dollars.
Takers of the package have a private butler and a chauffeur driven Maybach luxury car at their disposal during their stay, as well as a private jet available for trips to other countries in the region.
And in May, the hotel opened a gold vending machine, becoming the first place outside Germany to install "gold to go, the world's first gold vending machine," said Ex Oriente Lux AG, the German company behind the machine.
