Namna ya kutafuta Scholarships

Ukiingia kwenye website ya chuo chochote kile kuna mahali kuna ‘search box’ andika pale ‘scholarships’ then search itakuletea scholarships nyingi tu (kama zipo). Kuna watu wanadhani mie chizi kulundika websites nyingi za vyuo mbalimbali vya hapa UK na Tanzania.Lengo langu kubwa hapo ni hilo,si mara zote nitakua na habari za scholarship tena ‘ IN TIME’ na nije kuzi post hapa bloguni.Pia ieleweke kwamba hizi scholarships nazi post nikipata ‘MUDA’ Kwahio nina uhakika kuna scholarships nyingi zinanipita!!

Kwahiyo basi, kama upo kwenye website ya chuo kilichopo USA ama sehemu nyingine yeyote duniani fata procedures hizo hizo kama kuna scholarships utaziona. Ukiziona angalia ‘eligibility’ (nchi zipi zimetajwa kama ndio wawe waombaji?) Mfano unaweza ona scholarship ipo specific ‘For UK/EU only. (hii haikuhusu unless una makaratasi ya UK/EU).

Ukiona ‘International Scholarship for any Developing Countries’ basi omba fasta kwani Tanzania ni moja wapo ya nchi zinazo endelea aka Developing Countries.Kuna scholarships nyingine ni very specific mfano: Ni Edinburgh University hua wanatoa scholarships kwa Heshima ya Mwl.Nyerere tena ‘For Tanzanians only’ Ukiona hio omba pia na uzingatie maagizo kujiweka kwenye nafasi nzuri ya kupata kwani waombaji ni wengi sana.

NB1: Scholarships ni kinyang’anyiro cha hali ya juu sana waombaji ni LAZIMA wazingatie vigezo /maagizo/maelezo yaliyo tolewa tena kwa umakini wa hali ya juu. Vile vile zingatia muda (Deadlines) kujiweka katika nafasi nzuri ya kupata. Imagine unakuta ‘scholarship for any African student’ maana yake the whole of Africa wanafunzi wote wenye sifa wataigombea hiyo nafasi hata kama ikawa iko moja tu.

NB2: mwenye taarifa za uhakika kuhusu scholarships popote pale anitumie kwenye e-mail (rijaki@ymail.com) nita zipost.Ni hayo tu kwa leo.

Walofukuzwa kazi baada ya kuandika udaku facebook!!

Kama nilivyo ahidi kutoa mwendelezo wa 'Namna ya kufukuzwa kazi kwa kutumia facebook'' leo nawaletea baadhi tu ya walio fukuzwa baada ya kupatikana wameandika 'udaku' facebook tena bila kufikiri kama siku hizi ma-boss hawako nyuma kupitia mitandaoni kujua yanayo jiri.Siku hizi unaweza itwa interview wakati wameshakusoma mambo yako yote ya facebook sasa wale tunaopenda kujiachia huko unaweza jikuta unakosa kazi. Haya tujiunge kupata habari za waliofukuzwa chanzo kikiwa facebook!!

Msichana mmoja aitwaye Ashley Johnson ,22 huko North Calorina kafukuzwa kazi baada ya kuandika udaku facebook.Msichana huyo alisema wateja ambao yeye anaita ‘WA BEI RAHISI’ kwa kimatumbi ‘CHEAP CUSTOMERS’ wamemkalisha kwa saa moja zaidi ya muda aliotakiwa kumaliza kazi na baadae kumpa shukrani maarufu kama ‘tip’ ya $5.

Mwanadada huyo mhudumu wa Brixx Pizza alikasirika kwa kupewa 'tip' ndogo hata akadiriki kuwaita CHEAP wateja na kutaja na jina la mgahawa huo kama status message yake facebook.Bahati mbaya mdada huyu hakujua kama waajiri siku hizi wanapitia Facebook kusoma soma yaliyojiri.Hivyo dada huyo yakamkuta siku chache baadae baada ya meneja wake kuona alichoandika facebook ikiwa ni moja ya vitu ambavyo mfanyakazi huyo kakiuka kwani kawasema vibaya wateja, na kukiuka sera ya biashara ya mgahawa huo ikiwa ni pamoja na kuchafua jina kibiashara kwa jamii ya watumiaji wa mahali hapo . Hata hivyo mdada huyo baada ya kufukuzwa aliomba msamaha na hivi sasa yuko mbioni kutafuta kazi mpya.

Hii imefanya idadi ya wanaofukuzwa kutokana matumizi ya facebook kua kubwa siku hadi siku.Mfano mfanyakazi wakike (31) wa shirika la bima inchini Uswisi mwaka jana (2009) alifukuzwa kwa kubainika kutumia facebook akiwa kaomba ruhusa kua ni mgonjwa hawezi tumia computer siku hio kwani mwanga una msumbua. Zaidi soma hapa http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE53N4JF20090424.

Sambamba na hio Kimberely Swan (16) mwanzoni mwa mwaka (2009) alifukuzwa kazi kwa kuandika facebook kama kazi inaboa na kuguna kwa sana tu. Zaidi soma hapa http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1155971/Teenage-office-worker-sacked-moaning-Facebook-totally-boring-job.html .

Si hao tu bali, Dan Leone mnamo April 2009 aliandika facebook kumkashifu mwajiri wake na baada ya kujua kama lilikua kosa alifuta mara moja ila kwa bahati mbaya haikusaidia. Hatimaye siku chache baadae alipigiwa simu kama kafukuzwa kazi. Zaidi soma hapa http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3965039.

Mnamo mwezi wa nane mwanamke mmoja mwenye asili ya kiingereza adaiwa kufukuzwa kazi baada ya kuandika facebook ‘’kazi inaboa’’ asikumbuke kwenye friends list yuko boss wake zaidi soma hapa http://stupididiotjerk.com/2009/08/12/another-person-gets-fired-due-to-facebook/ mwaka 2008 kijana kyle doyle wa Australia alifukuzwa kazi kwa kuomba likizo ya kuumwa. Baada ya kejeli za facebook aliombwa cheti cha matibabu aliposhindwa kutoa na kazi ikaishia hapo hapo.Zaidi soma hapa http://bb.nsmb.com/showthread.php?t=116471

Hawa ni baadhi tu ya waliofukuzwa kazi kutokana na kujiachia na facebook. Hata hivyo mijadala mbalimbali mitandaoni imethibitisha kua idadi kubwa ya watumiaji wa facebook ni wafanyakazi kwani ofisi nyingi zina Internet.Hivyo hiyo imepelekea wale wenye facebook accounts kua bize sana wakiwa kazini kwani pamoja na mambo mengine ni lazima wapitie facebook kuchat ama kuangalia yaliyo jiri pamoja na marafiki zao ama kuandikiana meseji.

Utafiti uliofanywa na Nucleus mwaka 2009 upo kama hivi:-

Facebook Usage At Work

Information-----------------------------------% of Respondents

Workers with a Facebook account--------------------77%
Facebook users that access Facebook at work-------61%
Workforce accessing Facebook at work---------------47%
Average minutes accessed per day---------------------15

Total lost productivity to Facebook across the entire employee population 1.47%

(Source: Nucleus Research, July 2009)

Na mwisho kabisa utafiti uliofanywa na Family attitudes hapa Uingereza umebaini kwamba facebook kama ni mtandao uliopendwa zaidi na wasichana kwa asilimia 40 ukilinganisha na wavulana kwa 6%. Katika utafiti huo wasichana walipo ulizwa wataje vitu vitatu muhimu sana kwao katika maisha, waliweza taja ,MARAFIKI,FAMILIA, FACEBOOK NA MSN.Wakati huo huo wavulana walitaja cha kwanza FAMILIA,MARAFIKI NA PESA. Je kwako wewe msomaji ungetaja nini kiwe cha kwanza? Na je iitwe Fail book kama ambavyo watu wameanza kuiita au ibaki kua Facebook??

Gari za kukodi..

Hivi wale jamaa wanao kodisha magari hua wanakagua magari yao kabla na baada ya kukodisha? Duh kama mambo yenyewe ndio haya kazi ipo.Au ndo cha mtu ma**!!!

Utani wa kijinga!!!

Radio Dj mmoja wa shirika la utangazaji BBC kituo cha jijini Birmingham jumatatu ya tarehe 17 mchana aliropoka na kusema Malikia kafariki dunia.Kama haitoshi inadaiwa kua Dj huyo alipiga wimbo wa taifa kusindikiza tangazo lake.Mtangazaji huyo kwa jina Danny Kelly, 39 amekiri kukosea tangazo na kuomba radhi kwani alikua na tangazo tofauti na maalumu kwa wasikilizaji wake ambalo lilimfanya amtaje Malikia bila kukusudia.

Habari zaidi zinasema Dj huyo amekiri kukosea tangazo muda mfupi baada ya kutangaza na hatimaye kuomba radhi kwa wasikilizaji na kwa mhusika mwenyewe.Baadae shirika kubwa kabisa la utangazaji hapa Uingereza liliomba radhi pia kwa kosa hilo ambalo limechukuliwa kama ni utani alio ufanya mtangazaji huyo dhidi ya Malikia.

Hata hivyo inadaiwa mtangazaji huyo ni mahiri kwa kuchekesha wasikilizaji wake kwa kufanya utani mwingi katika vipindi vyake au status message ambazo amekua akiandika kwenye mtandao wa kijamii maarufu kama facebook.Vyombo vya habari vimesema BBC imemsimamisha kazi kwa muda wa wiki moja na pengine hatua zaidi zikachukuliwa dhidi yake kwa kosa alilofanya.

Money is not a problem, the problem is how to use it!

Muziki unapotumika kutoa ujumbe ambao kila mtu aweza kua na mtazamo tofauti.Huyu anasema money is not a problem, problem how to use it..je ni kweli? unaweza jiuliza unavyotumia pesa zako kama ni sahihi ndo zinavyotakiwa kutumika? Hapa najua kila mtu atakua na jibu lake kutokana na kuwepo mitazamo tofauti.Hata hivyo usawa wa matumizi ya pesa kwa kila mtu ni vigumu kuutaja kwani kila mmoja anaona halali kulingana na matakwa yake yanavyo weza kutimia vile atakavyo.

Tuwekee mfano yule mwanamme/mwanamke anayetumia pesa zake kuhonga mwanamke/mwanaume na kufanya nae mapenzi tena BILA KINGA kwa kiburi cha pesa zake na kwa makusudi kabisa kumwambukiza ugonjwa (UKIMWI) mtu mwingine, je ametumia pesa zake sawa? hapa jibi litakua HAPANA! JE anaye honga wanafunzi na kuwapa MIMBA? (hapa ni vijana na mijibaba) Vipi kuhusu Mijimama (samahani) inabidi tu niseme! inayo honga vijana wadogo aka serengeti boys na kufanya nayo hayo wanayo yafanya? .tena wengine wakishapata hio mishahara walio sotea kwa sana kinachofuata ni kulala BAR.Nadhani wale wanaoijua Bia moja Tz aina ya Bingwa wakati inaingia watu wengi walilazwa hadi mahospitali maana ile ukinywa kama safari utajua maana ya pombe nini.Sijui bado ipo! na kama ipo ni wazi watu wanaiogopa maana wengi iliwafanya mbaya hasa walimu.

Ntombi (ni jina la mwanamziki sio tusi kama unavyotaka kufikiri lol!) anasema Money is not a problem , the problem is how you use it..je wewe unasemaje kama ukiulizwa?
sambamba na hio angalia video hii watu walivyo changamka na usiite walevi utapigwa bure ita walipa kodi wazuri aka wanywaji!!



Sina mengi sana kwa leo ila tu jiulize kama matumizi yako ya pesa ni sahihi ama sio sahihi.Tena wengine bila aibu unakuta anatumia hata kuzidi bajeti aliyo nayo.Kama ni mfanya kazi ataacha kua mla rushwa kweli mtu wa namna?? Na kama ni mfanya biashara je ataacha kufanya biashara Haramu?.Kama matumizi yanazidi kipato wapi atafidia kama sio njia za panya/zisizo halali?.

Pamoja na yote haya bado nchi kama Tanzania imeendelea kua na tatizo la mishahara midogo kwa wafanyakazi kitu ambacho kina karibisha rushwa kwa kishindo kabisa.Kwani hawa wafanyakazi kama kima cha chini kwa mujibu wa TUCTA kua 315,000/= basi ni wazi rushwa haitaisha. Kwani mnfanya kazi huyu huyu ana majukumu yanayozidi mshahara je pesa atatoa wapi?.Kwa kweli nimecheka kuona hii katuni lakini ina ukweli ndani yake, na si kwamba nimecheka nafurahia ila kuna baadhi ya vitu vina chekesha kama NYUMBA NDOGO ( sio lazima kua na nyumba ndogo kwanini uwe nayo? inachekesha sana kwa kweli mie naita mtu mzima ovyo hata kama ni private life ya mtu!)

Hongera kwa mchora katuni, ebu angalia mwenyewe hio katuni halafu sema kama 80,000/= inatosha chochote. Hata ada tu haitoshi,bill ya umeme? maji? kodi ya nyumba?.yani huyu ndio apewe ofisi aache kufungua bucha?.Sina maana walipwe vizuri ili kumudu nyumba ndogo bali mahitaji ya msingi kama baadhi ya ambayo yameonyeshwa kwenye katuni.ok hata tuseme huyu mtu hana mke still hii pesa haitoshi sasa ana mudu vipi maisha? Hii ni sawa na useme mlinzi analinda bank kwenye mamilioni ya pesa halafu mshahara duni je wezi wakija wakala dili naye nani atalaumiwa? kuna vitu vingine zinatia vishawishi mtu analinda mamilioni halafu analipwa kiduchu yani hio ni sawa na simba kumpa alinde nyumbu!!




Kwahio hapa nimedokeza mambo mawili kwa pamoja ambayo yatafanya ujiulize ni yapi ndio matumizi halali ya pesa tulizo nazo hio mosi, pili,je mishahara tunayo lipa wafanya kazi wetu inakidhi mahitaji ya msingi tukiondoa yale yasio ya lazima?
