TRAINING OPPORTUNITY

INTERNATIONAL CLINICAL, OPERATIONAL AND HEALTH SYSTEMS RESEARCH TRAINING IN AIDS AND TUBERCULOSIS (ICOHRTA) is one of MUHAS HARVARD RESEARCH PROJECTS that intends to train a critical mass of researchers in Tanzania in the area of HIV/TB diseases implementation research. ICOHRTA will train future leaders in epidemiological, operations and health services, and clinical research related to these two major infectious diseases.

Tanzania is one of the most affected countries in sub-Saharan Africa by HIV/AIDS and Tuberculosis (TB). As a result of HIV/AIDS, life expectancy declined from 56 years to 40 years. Even though Tanzania is regarded as having a successful TB program, TB is still one of the leading causes of hospital admissions and death. There is an urgent need to scale up the implementation of known interventions for prevention, care and treatment of these infections. Improving the national capacity for implementation research sciences is imperative to maximize the output from the infusion of large sums of funding into control of HIV and TB through the Global Fund for AIDS, TB and Malaria; the US President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, and other bilateral and multilateral initiatives.

The ICOHRTA programme is offering opportunities and financial support to qualified Tanzanians to pursue Masters of Public Health (MPH) or Doctorate Studies (PhD) at Muhimbili University of Health and allied Sciences (MUHAS) as well as at Harvard School of Public Health in Boston.

Thousands of protesters clash with police in Chicago: Chaos in the Windy City as 45 activists arrested and one cop stabbed after demonstrators target NATO

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER Thousands of demonstrators upset with the war in Afghanistan, climate change and the erosion of union rights have raised the intensity of a march in downtown Chicago on Sunday as world leaders assembled for a NATO summit. The protest, one of the city's largest in years, turned violent at the end of an anti-NATO march, where demonstrators confronted Chicago police, pushing against a line of officers several blocks from the lakefront convention center where President Obama hosted a gathering of world leaders. Authorities were seen making arrests one by one and leading individual demonstrators away in handcuffs. After a clash near McCormick Place, Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy said at a news conference that the protests resulted in 45 people being arrested and four officers suffering injuries - one from a stab wound in the leg.

Kwa kawaida wanawake wanafikia kilele (mwisho wa utamu wa ngono) kati ya dakika ishirini na saa moja, yaani kwa kifupi inawachukua muda mrefu sana hali inayopelekea mpenzi mvivu kuchoka na ufanyaji wake utakuwa wa “ovyo” hali itakayo kufanya wewe kuishiwa na hamu ya kuendelea.

Natambua kuwa ni ngumu au niseme si wanawake wote ambao wamejaaliwa kimaumbile kwamba wanafanikiwa kufika kileleni zaidi ya mara mbili kila wanapofanya mapenzi/ngono (kumbuka ni kati ya dakika 15 na saa moja hivyo Jibaba hapa awe na uwezo wa kujizuia kwa zaidi ya dk 45) na ikiwa jamaa ni “mzamiaji” basi unaweza ukaondoka na goli 3 ktk mzunguuko mmoja. Lakini kwa nini basi baadhi yao tu ndio wafike kileleni na wengine was...
