Military plane crashes into black sea

The plane, which was on its way to Latakia in Syria, was carrying 81 passengers and 10 crew members, Interfax news agency reported.

The Tu-154 is a Soviet-designed three-engine airliner.

In April 2010, many high-ranking Polish officials, including then president Lech Kaczynski, were killed when a Tu-154 airliner went down in thick fog while approaching the Smolensk airport in western Russia.

Al Jazeera's Natasha Ghoneim, reporting from Moscow, said the plane disappeared from radar only minutes after takeoff. 

"Reports here in Moscow are saying that the passengers included journalists and military personnel, in addition to members of the famous Alexandrov Ensemble," Ghoneim said.

The Russian defence ministry said that the Alexandrov Ensemble was to perform at the Khmeimim airbase, Russia's main base of operations for its military campaign in support of the Syrian government.

Russia has been supporting its longtime ally Syria with a bombing campaign against rebel groups for more than a year. 

Rescue services of aviation units of the Southern Military District in Krasnodar and neighbouring regions were engaged in the search for the plane wreckage, the defence ministry said.

Islamic state power in Middle East

Slat or mesh armour has been commonplace on combat vehicles for some 10 years, with a history of development dating back 60 years or more. This armour type generally takes the form of a metal grid, mesh, or bars, and is most commonly fitted over conventional plate armour. IS VBIED designers have adopted this effective and lightweight add-on armour type. Slat armor serves to impede the proper function of many types of AT munitions that use a point-initiation, base-detonating (PIBD) fuzing system. The armour accomplishes this by either damaging the munition on impact, or by preventing the optimal impact angle to function the fuze. In the event that the munition does function correctly, slat armour can provide an increased stand-off distance, negatively impacting the armour penetration capabilities of many munition types.

These design improvements have proven effective and have accelerated the anti-tank weapon requirements of forces in conflict with the Islamic State.  Forces aligned against IS in Iraq have received anti-tank guided weapons (ATGW) to counter the continual improvements to SVBIED design. These comparatively advanced weapon systems are designed to defeat the armour of main battle tanks and have proven very effective against IS armoured SVBIEDs. The Islamic State have themselves been targeted by VBIED attacks executed by other militant groups, and have deployed ATGWs  to counter this threat in some areas.

Friend of Park Geun Hye denies charges

The jailed confidante of disgraced South Korean President Park Geun-hye has denied charges on the first day of her trial that she used her ties to the president to extort money from big companies.

The hour-long hearing at the Seoul Central District Court on Monday was the first public appearance in weeks for the woman at the heart of a scandal that led to Park's impeachment after millions took to streets in protests.

Choi Soon-sil, Park's friend of 40 years, wore white prison clothes and bowed deeply to the three judges as the trial began.

Her lawyer, Lee Kyoung-jae, denied that she conspired with Park and her presidential aide to pressure companies to donate tens of millions of dollars to foundations controlled by her last year.

When directly asked by a judge about the extortion charges, Choi denied the allegations.

"I'm sorry for causing trouble. I'll faithfully engage in [my] trial," she said.

The court reviewed the charges against Choi, who prosecutors say manipulated state affairs and extorted businesses, and the arguments by her lawyer.

Ten others swept up in the scandal also face trial. Choi is also known as Choi Seo-won, which is how she was referred to in court.

Al Jazeera's Craig Leeson, reporting from Seoul, said Choi did not want a jury trial. South Korean courts normally hold criminal trials presided over by a panel of judges, who deliver a verdict and sentence, while defendants in select cases are given the choice of a jury trial.

VIDEO – World’s most terrifying tourist attraction shut down

The world’s most terrifying tourist attraction has been shut down
after frightening photos emerged of tourists balanced on a raft feeding
meat – to crocodiles .

The
young holidaymakers clambered aboard a make-shift cage kept afloat with
plastic barrels just inches from the 10ft long killer reptiles.
They
used canes to dangle lumps of beef over the jaws of the reptiles
– which then leapt from the water to snatch their lunch.
Pictures
taken by shocked motorcycle-taxi rider Jon Nok show hundreds of crocs
circling the raft in a pond used for crocodile farming at the Elephant
Kingdom in Chonburi, Thailand.

The images viral after he posted them on Twitter – sparking police and government officials to rush to the attraction.

Jon, 40, said: ‘I’ve bee a taxi driver for more than 20 years and never seen anything like this before.
‘It
looks so dangerous I just had to take a picture. The tourists were all
Chinese and some of them were scared, others were enjoying it.
‘People have been shocked to see that this happens.’

Social
media users were stunned by the activity – with some saying it was
cruel to tease the crocodiles by dangling food then pulling it away.

Police, soldiers and government officials raced to to the crocodile farm last on Friday hours after pictures went viral.
It has since been closed down for 90 days while safety checks are carried out.

Uthen Youngprapakorn, owner of the tourist attraction which is part
of a crocodile farm, said that he had offered the rides on the cage
after growing demand from Chinese tourists.

He said: ‘We don’t put more than 15 people in a cage at a time. But they can hold more than this.
‘There have never been any problems and visitors are very happy. We always watch everything very closely.

Read How A Famous Kenyan Rapper Used To Drown Millions Of Shillings In Alcohol

There is this one thing that’s associated with artistes. I don’t know whether it holds a pinch of truth or it’s just an ethos formed by “behavioural experts” on artistes. For the longest time, musicians have been branded as lovers of alcohol. Among other earthly fantasies, artistes are often said to be imbibing liquor at any available chance. But I ask again, is it the truth?

Last year, rapper Frasha of the P-Unit group vowed to challenge himself, by taking a self-imposed 100-day ‘sober challenge’. Over the period he kept himself away from indulging in alcohol in an attempt to send a message to the youth. After a month without alcohol, Frasha came out “victorious”.

NEW DIAMOND PLATNAMS GIRLFRIEND COUGHTED BY ZARI,,...

The post war world was full of hope for African nationalists and independence movements. India was granted its independence in 1947 and Africans were hopeful that similar provisions could be made in their own continent. At first, British plans for the relatively under-developed African colonies seemed to be rather slow in emerging. It would take another 10 years before the Gold Coast received its independence as Ghana. Nigeria was not too far behind in getting its independence. These were examples of relatively successful economies at least by colonial standards. The British government was generally content to hand over independence to viable political units although they were wary of being left holding the uneconomic colonies at the end of this process. Tanganyika was firmly in this latter category. They therefore proposed the creation of large federated political units. They created the British East Africa Federation in the 1950s combining Kenya with Tanganyika and Uganda. Many black Africans were concerned that this was a scheme designed to prolong colonial rule. Although the scheme collapsed more because of the violence of the Mau Mau rebellion north in Kenya.

SHABASHI, HAINAGA USHEMEJI YAMTOKEA KALIONI KIGOGO

Archaeological evidence attests to a long history of settlement in the area; by the 10th century ce, it was inhabited by Asian and Arab traders and Bantu-speaking peoples. The Portuguese gained control of the coastline in the late 15th century, but they were driven out by the Arabs of Oman and Zanzibar in the late 18th century. German colonists entered the area in the 1880s, and in 1891 the Germans declared the region a protectorate as part of German East Africa. During World War I, Britain captured the German holdings, which became a British mandate (1920) under the name Tanganyika Territory. Britain retained control of the region after World War II, when it became a United Nations trust territory. Tanganyika gained independence on Dec. 9, 1961, and became a republic one year later. On April 26, 1964, it joined with Zanzibar to form the United Republic of Tanganyika and Zanzibar.

MAJIBU MAZITO KWA MTATIRO..!!

 Hoja hii hapa https://m.facebook.com/story.php… ya Kaka yangu Mtatiro ndio inayojibiwa, nimechukua kipande kidogo tu alichoishambulia ACT kuwa imekuwa kikwazo kwa ushindi wa UKAWA na kushindwa kutuwekea tafiti anayosema CUF ilibebwa na CHADEMA katika uchaguzi Mkuu wa 2015.
Aise my braza Mtatiro yaani sijaona analysis uliyofanya zaidi ya kuonesha vituko hebu niambie ACT unasema iliharibu Mpango wa UKAWA kwani ACT ilikuwa kwenye mpango wenu? Badala useme CHADEMA iliharibu ushindi wa UKawa segerea unalia na ACT Ambayo haikuwa kwenye mpango wenu.

Tuzungumzie JIMBO la Kasulu Mjini ulilolitolea matokeo kama mfano CCM kumshinda mgombea wa ACT kwa kura 3000 na kura hizo 3000 na kitu kuchukuliwa na UKawa, kama dhamira ni kuitoa CCM Huoni huyo mgombea wa UKAWA ndio aliharibu ushindi wa ACT kwa kuzipokonya kura 3000 za ACT ambazo zingeishinda CCM?
UKAWA Mngekuwa na dhamira ya kweli ya kuitoa CCM mngeijibu barua ya ACTwazalendo ya maombi yao ya kujiunga UKawa. Shida nyie mnaojiita upinzani mnaongozwa na chuki na ubinafsi mkiendelea hivi tusitegemee mabadiliko yeyote zaidi ya kuzidi kuua upinzani kwa kuchochoea migogoro. Tujifunze kwa wenzetu Afrika na Dunia wanaungana kuunganisha nguvu kukitoa Chama tawala nyie mnafikiria wengine wawaunge nyie tu hata kama hawafaidiki na muunganiko huo na wala hamuwahitaji mnataka wawafuate tu bila kujua hata malengo yenu ni yapi, na wanaowafuata kesho mnawasimanga mmewabeba.
My braza Julius S. Mtatiro tulipata uhuru ili kuuondoa utumwa Ila kijana kama wewe uliyeenda shule bado unawaza kitumwa kweli? kuwa eti ushindi wa CUF ni nguvu ya CHADEMA na sio nguvu ya ushirikiano UKAWA halafu cha kuchekesha unajichanganya tena kuwa NCCR NA NLD hawakuwa na ujenzi mzuri wa kujenga base za Chama chao na wagombea wao ndio maana CHADEMA ilishindwa kuwabeba.
Naomba nikuachie homework hizo base zilizojengeka za hivyo vyama viwili ndani ya UKAWA (CUF na CHADEMA) Vilijengwa wakati gani na Chini ya viongozi gani??
Jenga hoja kikubwa kamwe huwa halaumiwi mtu au taasisi ambayo haipo kwenye mpango wako au wenu wala hamna makubaliano yeyote, ACT haikuwa na makubaliano yeyote na UKAWA mlaumiane UKAWA wenyewe na sio ACTWAZALENDO.
Mwisho nakubaliana na hoja inayosema 'Tanzania kusoma ni kupata Sifa tu na sio kuelemika'

The Insight Fellowship Program 2017 For Global Changes Agents

The Insight Fellowship Program was created in 2005 to foster a community of global-minded individuals prepared to manage conflict effectively and contribute to their local, national, and international communities. The Insight philosophy is that the ability to make positive contributions is a function of the quality of one’s communication skills, capacity for empathy, and self-understanding. To promote these qualities, one-year Insight Fellowships are awarded to exceptional individuals to:

• Study and promote effective conflict management
• Make international humanitarian contributions
• Pursue self-reflection and personal development

Applications and placements are shaped by the Insight Fellowship Guidelines, which encourage original and reflective thinking, innovative approaches to managing conflict, exposure to other cultures and customs, cultivation of entrepreneurship and leadership, volunteering for the benefit of underserved populations, and the development of a compassionate disposition toward the world. The Fellowship includes a $25,000 USD expense allowance to support multiple placements totaling one year, typically in three to four month blocks. Each Fellow is required to repay the amount of the $25,000 allowance used through individual fund raising efforts, regenerating the funds to ensure support for the next Fellow. This “pay forward” approach instills the values of sustainability and non-profit entrepreneurship.

The first three-month placement is at the Concord, Massachusetts offices of Insight Collaborative and its affiliate, Insight Partners. During this tenure in Concord, Fellows advance their understanding of the theory and practice of effective negotiation, communication, and mediation; meet pivotal figures in the field; attend workshops; receive personalized coaching; and see first-hand how international conflict management professionals operate in the academic, non profit, and for profit sectors.

The subsequent nine months are divided into three foreign placements proposed and arranged by the Fellow. Placements are approved by Insight Collaborative on the basis of safety and the extent to which they meet the Insight Fellowship Guidelines.

Eligibility
Each applicant must be: (1) a graduate of an accredited college or university or in good standing to graduate prior to the start of the Fellowship; (2) fl uent in English; (3) available and committed to serving 12 consecutive months from the start of the Fellowship; and (4) dedicated to fulfi lling the purposes of the Fellowship Program and to prioritizing the Insight Fellowship Guidelines.

Applicants are judged on the strength of their application and on their personal achievements, character, and abilities. Experience related to the study or practice of confl ict management or alternative dispute resolution (ADR) is preferred,

Application Process
All completed applications submitted by the application deadline will be reviewed by Insight Collaborative. Finalists will be invited to participate in an online interview in March with members of the application review committee. The next application deadline is January 6, 2017.
