BASATA, JESHI LA POLISI WAUNDA KIKOSIKAZI KUDHIBITI UHARAMIA KWENYE SANAA
Baraza la Sanaa la Taifa (BASATA) na Jeshi la Polisi nchini wameunda kikosikazi maalum kitakachokuwa kikifuatilia uharamia na maovu mbalimbali katika shughuli za Sanaa na Burudani.

Kikosikazi hicho kimeundwa baada ya Jeshi la Polisi nchini kutumia Sanaa shirikishi katika kutoa elimu kwa wadau wa Sanaa kuhusu dhana ya polisi jamii na ulinzi shirikishi kwenye Jukwaa la Sanaa linalofanyika kila wiki makao makuu ya BASATA Ilala Sharif Shamba.

Akizungumza kuhusu kikosikazi hicho, Mkurugenzi wa Ukuzaji Sanaa, BASATA Bi. Vivian Shalua alisema kuwa, kazi kubwa ya kikosi hiki itakuwa ni kufuatilia maonesho yasiyokuwa na vibali, uharamia kwenye kazi za wasanii na wasanii kutoka nje wanaoingia nchini kinyume cha sheria.

Aliyataja majukumu mengine ya kikosikazi hicho kuwa ni pamoja na kudhibiti maonesho yanayodhalilisha utu na maadili ya mtanzania, kusimamia utoaji vibali kwa wasanii wa kitanzania wanaoenda kufanya maonesho nje ya nchi na majukumu mengine yatakayojitokeza.

“Kikosikazi hiki kitakuwa tayari kufuatilia taarifa yoyote ya uharamia kwenye kazi za wasanii, maonesho yanayodhalilisha utu na maadili ya mtanzania na wasanii wanaoingia ndani ya nchi na kufanya maonesho bila vibali” alisisitiza Shalua.

Kikosikazi hicho kinaundwa na Shani Kitogo (Afisa Utamaduni Ilala), Tatia Ramadhan (Polisi, TAZARA), Afande Jeremiah (Polisi Kati), Koplo Juma Mashauri (Polisi Airport), Michael Kagondela (Idara ya Utamaduni), Afande Deus Matoro (Reli) na Afande Swai (Traffic),

Top 10 Most Beautiful Places In The World

1.Glen Canyon, USA
Glen Canyon Nation Recreation Area, established by Congress in 1972, is the home of Lake Powell. The area is comprised of 1.25 million acres with the lake occupying only 13%, or 161,390 acres, of the total area, which leaves a lot to be explored by four-wheel  drive or on foot. Lake Powell is named for Civil War veteran Major John Wesley Powell, who explored the Green and Colorado rivers in 1869 down through Grand Canyon. In August, 1869, Powell and his eight companions passed through the site of present day Glen Canyon Dam. Extending nearly one-third of a mile across from canyon rim to rim, the dam created the reservoir known as Lake Powell. The lake, which lies partly in Arizona and mostly in Utah, is more than 500 feet deep in places. While Utah has the lion’s share of Powell’s crystal clear water, Arizona lays claim to the most important part—the dam. It took 17 years, from march 13, 1963 to June 22, 1980, to fill to the planned level of 3,700 feet above sea level. Lake levels fluctuate depending on the spring runoff from the mountains and the releases needed to produce electricity from the dam’s eight generators.(via 1)

2.Athabasca Falls, Canada
The Athabasca Falls is a recreation and sightseeing destination located south of the community of Jasper, Alberta, Canada in the Jasper National Park. The highlight of the Athabasca Falls Trail is the viewpoint over looking the waterfall measuring 23 metres.
The waterfall lookout is situated on the high cliffs of the Athabasca River. However, the falls are not known for their height but are best known for being powerful. The large volume of water surges through a narrow gorge creating plenty of white water and river currents of fury. The Athabasca Falls attraction is one of the more popular waterfalls in the park because it is easily accessible. Often during in the mid day hours during the peak summer months the falls are busy with people, and at times very crowded. To avoid crowds view the falls in the early morning hours. During the winter months the trails located near Athabasca Falls are converted to cross country ski trails. In the summer months white water rafting tours and river kayakers launch just down stream from the waterfall on the Athabasca River.(via 1)

3.Crater Lake, USA

Crater Lake was formed after the collapse of an ancient volcano, posthumously named Mount Mazama. This volcano violently erupted approximately 7700 years ago. That eruption was 42 times as powerful as the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens. The basin or caldera was formed after the top 5000 feet of the volcano collapsed. Subsequent lava flows sealed the bottom, allowing the caldera to fill with approximately 4.6 trillion gallons of water from rainfall and snow melt, to create the seventh deepest lake in the world at 1,932 feet. Today, Crater Lake is widely known for its intense blue color and spectacular views. During summer, visitors may navigate the 33-mile Rim Drive around the lake, enjoy boat tours onthe lake surface, stay in the historic Crater Lake Lodge, camp at Mazama Village, or hike some of the park’s various trails including Mount Scott at 8,929 feet. Diverse interpretative programs enhance visitors’ knowledge and appreciation of this national park, 90% of which is managed as wilderness. The winter brings some of the heaviest snowfall in the country, averaging 533 inches per year. Although park facilities mostly close for this snowy season, visitors may view the lake during fair weather, enjoy cross-country skiing, and participate in weekend snowshoe hikes.(via 1)

4.Jeongbang Waterfall
Jeongbang Falls is only water fall in Asia that falls directly into the ocean. On the wall of the water fall, there is an inscription written “Seobulgwacha”, referring to Seobul passing by this place. Seobul was a servant of the Chinese Emperor Jin (BC 259~210) who was ordered by the Emperor to find the substance that would make him immortal. Seogwipo is also said to have gotten its name to mean Seobul headed back west. Jeongbang Waterfall is situated by a high cliff by the sea, and an old evergreen stands there leaning back as if it would fall into the ocean. Go east for about 300 meters and you will see another waterfall called Sojeongbang Waterfall. It is a great place to relax during the summer. There is an observatory at the top of the cliff, from which you can command a fine view of the sea. A legend states that Emperor Jin of China sent a servant, Seo Bul, to fetch the magical herbs of eternal youth from Mount Halla. Though he failed to find the herb, he encountered Jeongbang Falls on the way and he left his autograph, Seobul Gwaji, on the cliff wall, where it no longer remains. The waterfall is one of the three famous waterfalls of Jeju, the other two being Cheonjiyeon Waterfall and Cheonjeyeon Waterfall. A smaller waterfall, Sojeongbang Waterfall is 300 m to the east.(via 1,2)

5.Taj Mahal, India
Taj Mahal is regarded as one of the eight wonders of the world. It is built entirely of white marble by the Mughals, the Muslim rulers of India. Its stunning architectural beauty is beyond adequate description, particularly at dawn and sunset. The Taj seems to glow in the light of the full moon. On a foggy morning, the visitors experience the Taj as if suspended when viewed from across the Jamuna river. Taj Mahal was built by a Muslim, Emperor Shah Jahan (died 1666 C.E.) in the memory of his dear wife and Queen Mumtaz Mahal at Agra, India. It was constructed over a period of twenty-two years, employing twenty thousand workers. It was completed in 1648 C.E. The architectural design uses the interlocking arabesque concept, in which each element stands on its own and perfectly integrates with the main structure. It uses the principles of self-replicating geometry and symmetry of architectural elements. Its refined elegance is a conspicuous contrast both to the Hindu architecture of pre-Islamic India, with its thick walls, corbeled arches, and heavy lintels, and to the Indo-Islamic styles, in which Hindu elements are combined with an eclectic assortment of motifs from Persian and Turkish sources.

6.Torres del Paine National Park-Chile
Torres del Paine is probably the world’s most spectacular national park. An unrivalled landscape of mad jagged peaks, impossibly blue lakes, deserted pampas and iceberg-loaded rivers, it has at its center, the Southern Patagonian Ice Field, a sea of ice the size of Hawaii. In fact, this is one of the largest sources of temperate-zone glaciers in the world. The gateway to Torres del Paine is Puerto Natales, a waterside town 120km to the South, and BlueGreen’s base. The waters of Torres del Paine National Park come mainly from the defrosting of the glaciers that exist in the area of the South Ice Field, located within the National Park Towers of Paine. Due to the vicinity of the South Ice Field, the Park Torres del Paine National Park has innumerable rivers, lagoons and lakes that owe its formation to defrosting of the glaciers that compose it. Between the lakes are emphasizes the Sarmiento, Nordenskjold, Pehoe, Grey, Paine and Dickson; and an endless number of the varied lagoons of so large: Verde, Azul and Holanda, among others.

7. Westman Islands-Iceland
The Westman Islands are a group of fifteen islands, situated just off the south coast of Iceland. The mainisland, Heimaey, has a population of about 5,000. No port in Iceland registers bigger catches than this one and the island is simply buzzing with life. Here, there are some truly spectacular sights. The islanders have made their living from the sea from the days of the first settlers, the perfect natural harbour and tall cliffs tenanted by multitudes of puffin, fulmar and guillemot being two important factors in this community’s prosperity. To this day local men hop expertly from ledge to ledge collecting eggs, attached to a lifeline held by an anchor man at the top of the cliff. A boat trip round the islands with their sheer basalt cliffs and eroded arches rising out of the deep sea explains to the visitor why only one island is inhabited. At 2am on the night of january 23rd 1973, a massive eruption began in the eastern part of Heimaey. Almost all of the 5,000 inhabitants were safely evacuated to the mainland. The eruption lasted for over 5 months and caused extensive damage to the town, burying houses under lava and ash. Only a few weeks after the eruption ended, the population had returned to clean up and continue their lives.(via 1)

8.Mt. Saint Michel, France
Mont St. Michel is a small quasi-island, separated by approximately one kilometer of waves from the mainland at high tide. It is about one kilometer in diameter and about 80 meters high, jutting defiantly above the ocean. At low tide, however, it is separated from the mainland by approximately one kilometer of sand. Before a causeway was built in 1879, the only approach to the Mont was by foot over this land bridge. This was never a casual stroll, however. The tides here are among the greatest in France, with a swing of up to 14m between the high and low water marks. The unwary pedestrian could easily be drowned by the sudden onslaught of high tide. Furthermore, the force of those terrible tides shifts the sands about unpredictably, leading to unchartable quicksand fields. (The Bayeux tapestry bears the mention that Harold the Saxon and William the Conquerer, visited Mont St. Michel. Hic Harold dux trahebat eos de arena, it says, “Harold pulled them out of the quicksand.”) Pilgrims needed great faith to visit Mont St. Michel! Modern pilgrims can drive above the water, bypassing quicksand and irresistible tides. When they arrive, they will find an edifice nearly as impressive as its geographical location.(via 1)

9.The Canadian Rockies
The Canadian Rockies comprise the Canadian segment of the North American Rocky Mountains range. They are the eastern part of the Canadian Cordillera, extending from the Interior Plains of Alberta to the Rocky Mountain Trench of British Columbia. The southern end borders Idaho and Montana of the USA. The northern end is at the Liard River in northern British Columbia. Five national parks are located within the Canadian Rockies, four of which interlock and make up the Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks World Heritage site. These four parks are Banff, Jasper, Kootenay and Yoho. The national park not included in the World Heritage Site is Waterton, which does not interlock with the others (it lies farther south, along the international boundary). The World Heritage site also includes three British Columbia provincial parks that adjoin the four national parks: Hamber, Mount Assiniboine and Mount Robson. Together, all these national and provincial parks were declared a single UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1984 for the unique mountain landscapes found there, comprising peaks, glaciers, lakes, waterfalls, canyons and limestone caves as well as fossils (e.g. the Burgess Shale, once a World Heritage Site in its own right, is now part of the Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks World Heritage Site). Numerous other provincial parks are located in the Canadian Rockies.(via 1)

10.Cappadocia, Turkey
Cappadocia, once at the crossroads of the trading world, ancient “Katpatuka” (as it is referred to in antique texts) has evolved itself and now stands at a different meeting point. Where once it hosted the caravansaries of traders from the East and West, it now greets the caravans of the devout and the curious seeking to step back in time.  Strabon, a writer of antiquity, describes the borders of the Cappadocian Region, in his 17-volume book, “Geographika” (Geopraphy-Anatolia, vol. XII, XIII & XIV), written during the reign of Roman Emperor Agustus. Cappadocia was described as a very large plateau area surrounded by the Black Sea coast and Pontic Mountains in the north to the Taurus Mountains in the south, and by Aksaray and Lake Tuz in the west to Malatya and the coveted Euphrates valley in the east. Present day Cappadocia is now the triangular area formed by the city provinces of, Aksaray-Nevsehir, Kayseri and Nigde. The smaller and surreal rocky region of the Cappadocia today is the area around Uçhisar, Göreme, Avanos, Ürgüp, Derinkuyu, Kaymakli and Ihlara.(via 1)

Anxiety as Tobiko, AG plan local trials


By Martin Mutua and Beauttah Omanga
Even before the dust settles on confirmation of charges against four Kenyans at The Hague, the State has set up a team to reopen the 5000 local case files for minor offenders.
The decision to restart the cases lying in files that have been gathering dust for the last four years is

already generating heat, with questions raised about the independence and integrity of the investigations that brought them out


The decision follows President Kibaki’s statement last week when, while commenting on the decision by the International Criminal Court (ICC) to commit the four Kenyans to full trial, he said the country now has a robust and reformed judicial system.
"We now have a radically transformed judiciary, an independent office of the Director of Public Prosecutions, a police service that is being fundamentally reformed and a functional witness protection agency," said the President, a statement that is now being seen as heralding the start of local trials.
He added: "It is now the collective responsibility of all these institutions to ensure justice for all at all times."
Already Attorney General Githu Muigai has asked Chief Justice Willy Mutunga to open a new wing of the High Court to handle international crimes, which incorporates the majority of post-election violence cases, and includes the crimes for which the four are being tried for at The Hague.
A multi-agency Task Force on investigation and prosecution of post-election violence cases made up of two members each from the State Law Office, Ministry of Justice, Police Commissioner’s office, the Director of Criminal Investigations and the Witness Protection Agency, will spearhead the new bid for domestic trials, after the failure by Parliament to set up a local judicial instrument to handle them.
But the move has received strong opposition from some leaders in the Coalition Government, who suspect it may lead to witch-hunts against their supporters by those who were in Government and investigating agencies when the violence broke out.

US says Assad's fall 'inevitable'

The US has said the rule of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad is coming to an end, as Western and Arab nations push for a UN Security Council resolution.
Washington is seeking to convince Russia not to stand in the way of the Arab League's initiative, to be presented to the Security Council in New York on Tuesday, calling for Assad to transfer power to help resolve the crisis.
"Assad's fall is inevitable," Jim Carney, the White House spokesman, said on Monday.
 
"As governments make decisions about where they stand on this issue and what steps need to be taken with regards to brutality of Assad's regime, it's important to calculate into your consideration the fact that he will go. The regime has lost control of the country and he will eventually fall."
Damascus dismissed Western criticism and said it would defeat what it called foreign attempts to spread chaos.
"We are not surprised at the lack of wisdom or rationality of these statements and regret that they are still issued by
countries that are used to making the Middle East an arena for their follies and failures," the state news agency quoted a foreign ministry source as saying.

"Syria, which is defending itself today against terrorism and will continue to do so, will be the exception which ... will
foil the policies of chaos adopted by these countries," it said.

Violence escalating
The comments came as fighting seemed to escalate on the ground in Syria, where activists said about 100 people were killed on Monday.
Troops battled anti-Assad fighters in the central city of Homs and in suburbs of the capital, Damascus.
The Local Co-ordination Committees said the majority of the victims died in Homs province, many of them in the town of Rastan, where the army shelled residential buildings.

Anti-terrorism police target 'extremist' internet files


The evidence the police had found was kept on a computer hard drive in a wardrobe in his bedroom, including within it a video on how to make a bomb vest.
Speaking to the BBC in 2010, however, Mr Ditta claimed that he thought they were videos that many other people may have also viewed, without being arrested or sent to jail.
"The file content, a lot of it was American or British tanks being blown up in Afghanistan or Iraq and that kind of thing, and I've seen other people with this type of content on their PCs.
Rizwan believes the climate was different then and that the level of scrutiny was more intense than it is now, and that the police were arresting and charging people who would not face any similar prosecution today.
"I felt I did absolutely nothing wrong to deserve four years in jail."
Grey area
Two years ago the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) set up a nationwide trial project, the Counter Terrorism Internet Referral Unit (CTIU), which was tasked with shutting down or removing extremist content from the web.
The unit, run by the Metropolitan Police, has received over 2000 referrals since it officially began its work eighteen months ago.
The CTIU is headed by Superintendent Jayne Snelgrove.
"We are looking to take down material that is likely to radicalise or be used by a terrorist."
Supt Snelgrove says that if a domain is hosted in the UK they can act quickly with service providers to take it down or remove the offending content.
"We are looking at (UK) anti-terror legislation where sites may be either encouraging people to participate in acts of terrorism or help facilitate acts of terrorism."

Supt Snelgrove says it is a subjective assessment, but there are some basic guidelines to consider.There is a grey area for users of the internet as to when someone is classed as having simply looked at a site or when they are actually breaking the law.
