Top 10 Smallest countries

It’s a common proverb that size matters; but sometimes it doesn’t. To prove this example in a new way, we have brought you the list of top 10 smallest countries of the world. There are total 236 countries in this world and most of them are very well known as on the basis of their total area, population, development, technology and forces. There are many countries we might not be aware of and not have even heard their names in our life. They are represented by mere specks on the map and their names cover more area on the map that the country itself! Asking anyone about the largest countries of the worldwould result in quick and accurate replies but if we ask which the smallest ones of the world are, you’ll be astonished to know that among ten only one person knows the correct answer! Enjoy the list and share the knowledge.

10. Maldives

Deep in the Indian Ocean lays a wonderful paradise that is called Maldives. Maldives consists many of islands and these islands are blessed with year-round sunshine and delightful pristine blue waters. It is a country with temperature controlled swimming pools, endless beautiful beaches and splashing ocean waves in its breezy islands. The hotels and resorts of Maldives are ones which we have always dreamed of but never seen! As far as the total area of Maldives is concerned, the total area of Maldivesis based on 115 square miles. It is counted in the list of top 10 smallest countries and is considered to be one of the best tourist destinations all over the world. The total population of Maldives is around 330,000.

9. Seychelles

Seychelles is 9^th in the top ten smallest countries of the world list and is based south west of the Indian Ocean in form of many 115 islands among which some are small and some are very huge. Seychelles is surrounded by over almost one and a half million square kilometers of water. The overall population of Seychelles is just 80,000 spread over the pristine blue Indian Ocean. The people of Seychelles are humble, friendly, nice natured and their hospitality level is outstanding which cannot be denied by anyone. The most unique and interesting thing about Seychelles islands is that all the islands are different and that’s the joy of Seychelles. The total area of Seychelles is 107 square miles. Seychellesis also called the dream destination of island lovers and it consists some of the finest beaches of the world.

8. St. Kitts and Nevis

St. Kitts and Nevis are 2 islands which combine together to form a country called St. Kitts and Nevis. The population of St. Kitts and Nevis is round about 50,000. If we look at the history, we will come to know that it has a very violent past full of power struggles. St. Kitts and Nevis have many monuments which represent the human aggressiveness over land, territory, culture and national pride. St. Kitts and Nevisis also very popular all over the world because of its soft romantic music, food and exotic resorts around the beaches which can be the best place to spend vacations. The total area of this small country is 104 square miles.

7. Marshall Islands

Marshall Islands is 7^th in the top 10 smallest countries of the world list. Marshall Islands are often referred to as the place where the sea meets the sky. A total of 29 atolls and 5 isolated islands make up the Marshall Islands. The population of this small country has increased with quite a pace since the last 5 years and at the current situation, the total population is around 67,000. Although Marshall Islands is a small country, the people always open heartedly welcome the tourists and treat them more like relatives than visitors! Marshall Islandshas gone through many political hurdles before coming in to existence and finally it proved itself a separate country with a land area of 70 square miles.

6. Liechtenstein

Liechtenstein is the 6^th smallest country of the world. If we look at it from the historic point of view, almost 2 centuries ago there were many separate states in the German speaking era but today there are only 4 and Liechtenstein is one of them. Located between the valleys of Switzerland and Austria, Liechtenstein is one of the best examples of extraordinary natural beauty. The most astonishing thing about this small country is that it has no airport or seaport within its boundaries. The population of Liechtenstein is around 35,000 people who are mostly German speaking and catholic. The total land area of Liechtensteinis 62 square miles.

5. San Marino

San Marino is the 5^th smallest country present in the world which is totally surrounded by Italy. One of the most interesting things about San Marino is that more than half of the economy of this small country comes from tourism. The total sales tax in San Marino is almost half of the taxes as compared to surrounding nations and that’s one of the main reason tourists prefer purchasing different things from San Marino rather than the surrounding countries. San Marino may be counted in the list of smallest countries but the hearts of the natives are very big and completely full of hospitality and affection. With a total population of almost 32,000, San Marinooccupies land area of 24 square miles.

4. Tuvalu

Tuvalu is currently the 4^th smallest country present in the top ten smallest countries list and is totally surrounded by water. Tuvalu is only 5 meters above the sea level and because of this natural factor, the entire island on which Tuvalu is located is at a high risk because any sudden high wave could engulf the entire island! In the last 15 years, a huge amount of work has been done for the development of Tuvalu in terms of construction and education. The people of Tuvalu have a great potential to learn about the way things are going on in the world. The handcrafted items of the Tuvalu people are quite famous and are one of the major sources of income of the Tuvalu people. With the total population of almost 10,544, Tuvaluoccupies total of 9 square miles.

3. Nauru

Nauru is a small country based on a tiny potato shaped island located between Hawaii and Australia. One of the most interesting things about Nauru is that the people of this small country are counted in the Top ten list of the fattest people all over the globe! The majority of the population is way much heavier as compared to other nations’ average weight and that’s why it is also called as the fattest country of the world. It takes about 17 to 20 minutes on average basis to travel the entire island boundary line in a vehicle. One sad thing to know is that Nauru has the highest level of diabetes on overall country level on this planet. The population of Nauruis around 10,000 and the land area of around 8.2 square miles.

2. Monaco

Monaco is the 2^nd smallest country of the world located in the middle of Italy and France. The lifestyle of the Monaco people is very expensive and Monaco is also counted in the Top richest countries of the world. The only expression to convey the luxurious life standards of the Monaco people is “Ooh La La”! Albert II the Prince of Monaco is one of the richest personalities of the world. A unique and interesting fact about Monaco is that there is no income tax. Although Monaco is very expensive, even then it is visited by tourists from all over the year in huge numbers. Another thing which might explain Monacobetter is that it’s the favorite place for all those who love Ferrari or F1 racing. With the overall population of around 35,000, Monaco occupies a land area of 1 square miles.

1. Vatican City

In the top ten list of the smallest countries of the world, the one which gets to hold the title is Vatican City. A part from being the smallest country of the world, Vatican City also holds the title of having the biggest church of the world which has become the main distinctiveness of this country. It may sound strange that the entire Vatican City is located in a boundary of just 0.2 square miles but this is true. Although the population of Vatican City is just around 850 people,  the total number of tourists visits every day on average basis is around 17,000 which totals up to more than 6.2 million for a year. Vatican City is one of the holiest places on earth for the Catholics. One of the most interesting things about Vatican City is the colorful and stylized uniform of Vatican Military which is indeed very stunning and has become a prominent source of attraction among people.

Matokeo mabovu na Umuhimu wa FDC

Matokeo ya kidato cha nne kwa mara nyingine yamekuwa mabaya na mabaya zaidi ukilinganisha miaka mingine, wengine wameyaita bomu japo binafsi sioni kama ni bomu nahisi ni moshi tu mlipuko wenyewe bado. Naeleza hivi kwa sababu bado kuna kila dalili ya bomu lenyewe yaani tutegemee matokeo mabaya zaidi ikiwa hatua hazitachukuliwa. Ukirejelea makala yangu ya mwaka jana (2012) yenye kichwa Unahitajika Utafiti wa Kina Juu ya Ufaulu wa Wanafunzi inayopatikana http://kapagiii.blogspot.com/search?updated-min=2012-03-01T00:00:00-08:00&updated-max=2012-04-01T00:00:00-07:00&max-results=2 ilieleza wazi walengwa sita wanaopaswa kutazamwa juu ya matokeo ya kidato cha nne. Nitawaorodhesha kwa ufupi uwezo wa wanafunzi wenyewe (personal ability), Mzazi wa mwanafunzi, mwalimumazingira ya elimu na shule zenyewe, jamii yote kwa ujumla na mwisho serikali na vyombo vyake muhimu vya elimu, wizara, Taasisi ya Elimu Tanzania.

Nasikitika kuwa matokeo ya mwaka 2011 licha ubovu wake hakuna utafiti wowote hata ripoti ya nini kilisababisha na matokeo yake ndo haya matokeo yenye kuvunja rekodi. Nashukuru sasa kumeundwa tume, nikitazama wajumbe wa tume napata tumaini ninapoona jina la Rakesh Rajan katibu mtendaji wa Twaweza ambao wanajihusisha sana na utafiti wa elimu ukiwemo ule wenye kichwa “Are Our Children Learning” wa mwaka 2010 ambao binafsi nilipousoma nilibaini matatizo makubwa katika elimu yetu lakini cha ajabu utafiti wako haukutiliwa mkazo na serikali yetu. Serikali yetu ni bingwa wa kutupa mafaili ya utafiti na ripoti mbalimbali pasipo kujali gharama na faida yake. Prof. Kezilahabi katika riwaya yake ya “Nagona” ya mwaka 1978 anajaribu kueleza hili anapoonyesha mafaili ya utafiti yakiwa yametupwa jaani. Chonde ripoti itakayopatikana kutokana na tume hii itendewe kazi ikiwa tunataka kuliokoa Taifa hili la sivyo bomu kubwa litapuka.

Pamoja na matokeo hayo binafsi nakumbuka umuhimu wa vyuo vya maendeleo ya jamii (FDC) na vyuo vya ufundi. Kundi hili kubwa la watoto waliofeli cha kusikitisha ni kuwa haliwezi kujitegemea na hivyo kama tungekuwa na vyuo vya maendeleo ya jamii na hata vya ufundi vya kutosha vingesaidia kupunguza mzigo huu. Inasikitisha kuona vyuo hivyo havikuendelezwa na hata vilivyopo vipo katika hali mbaya, kwa mifano hai unaweza kutembelea FDC- Katumba(Tukuyu), FDC-Bigwa (Morogoro), FDC- Uyole (Mbeya) na FDC-Kibaha (Pwani) vyote vinatapatapa katika hali mbaya kabisa. Kama kundi hili lililofeli halitapatiwa ujuzi wowote litaleta shida baadaye kwani hata Johannesburg ule mji wa pili kwa uhalifu duniani umesababishwa na vijana waliokosa tumaini la maisha baada ya kukosa elimu. Japo elimu hii ya ufundi inadharauliwa lakini ikumbukwe kuwa ndiyo iliyowakomboa wachina na sasa wanatamba maendeleo ya sayansi na teknolojia.

Nimalize kwa kusisitiza serikali kuchukua hatua za maksudi katika elimu na pia kuangalia vyuo vya maendeleo ya jamii na vyuo vya ufundi ili watoto wanapofeli wasiachwe tu bali wapate elimu ya ufundi, na wanafunzi wawe tayari kuipata ikiwa ni pamoja na wazazi kutoa ushirikiano wa dhati. Kwa pamoja tunaweza kuikomboa nchi yetu.

Top 10 Study Skills

I read this study skills and became very interested. As information officer for KII I fill happy to publish th eimportant information to student as well as to any body who need to increase study skills. I promiss to continue publishing very interesting information for my consumers of KII. the skills are published hereunder;
  1. Set goals.
If you don’t know what you want to achieve as a student, you won’t know how to get there or if
you’ve accomplished things.
2. Use an appointment book.
If you keep all your appointments, due dates, test dates in your head, you won’t have any room left
for the new information you are learning about in classes.
3. Know your learning style.
Develop techniques and strategies for compensating for possible differences between your learning
style and your instructor’s teaching style.
4. Be an active reader.
Be a text detective: ask your text good questions and it will yield good answers.
5. Participate in study groups.
Share the load of reading and studying with other students – you will learn better by teaching them,
and you will be exposed to ideas you didn’t come up with on your own.
6. Take notes.
Use the Cornell, outline, mapping or charting method to condense and synthesize reading, lectures
and discussions.
7. Organize your study materials.
If you organize your materials as you proceed through a course, you will retrieve information with
greater ease later.
8. Draft papers.
Never turn in the first draft of a paper – always leave time to re-work it before your professor sees it.
9. Slow down on tests.
Anxiety makes you skip over parts of questions. Read every word carefully.
10. Don’t replace protein with caffeine.
Protein and complex carbohydrates are an energy source that won’t leave you jittery.

Trends among the world's poorest countries

Since 1970, there has been encouraging news emerging from developing countries. According to the UN's 2010 Human Development Report, life expectancy in developing countries has increased from 59 years in 1970 to 70 years in 2010. School enrollment climbed from 55% to 70% of all primary and secondary school-age children. Also, in the last forty years, per capita GDP doubled to more than ten thousand U.S. dollars.
The World's average Human Development Index (HDI), which combines information on life expectancy, schooling and income, has increased 19% since 1990 (and 41% since 1970). This reflects large improvements in life expectancy, school enrollment, literacy, and income. Almost every country has benefited from this progress. Only three countries have a lower HDI in 2010 than in 1970. Those three countries are Zimbabwe, Zambia, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Poor countries are catching up with the wealthier countries, but not all countries made fast progress. For example, the countries in Sub-Saharan Africa have progressed slowly, largely due to the HIV epidemic. Countries in the former Soviet Union have been held back by an increase in adult mortality.
To illustrate the income inequality between rich and poor countries, consider these facts: about 1.75 billion people live in multi-dimensional poverty, meaning extreme deprivation in education, health, and standard of living; 1.44 billion people out of the developing world's 6.9 billion people live on $1.25 per day; 2.6 billion people are estimated to be living on less than $2 a day. Multidimensional poverty varies by region from three percent in Europe and Central Asia to 65% in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Majeshi ya Tanzania yatapelekwa kama sehemu ya misheni ya kulinda amani chini ya mamlaka ya Umoja wa Mataifa, njia hiyo hiyo ambayo wamekuwa wakipelekwa katika nchi nyingine katika eneo hilo. Msemaji wa jeshi la Ulinzi la Tanzania Kanali Kapambala Mgawe alisema siku ya Ijumaa (tarehe 30 Novemba).
"Tanzania imekuwa ikijihusisha na misheni za amani, mafunzo na ushauri kwa nchi nyingi," aliiambia Sabahi, na kueleza kuwa majeshi ya Tanzania yamekuweko katika misheni hizo huko Lebanoni, Darfur, Sudani ya Kusini, Visiwa vya Komoro na Liberia.
"Tanzania daima haiendi kwa nchi yeyote bila ya kuombwa na nchi hiyo au kutoka Umoja wa Mataifa," alisema.
Mgawe alisema kuwa kwa vile mzozo wa DRC hauna tishio lolote maalumu kwa Tanzania, viongozi wa kikanda wanazidi kuwa na wasiwasi kuwa hali ya kutokuwepo kwa utulivu unaoweza kusababishwa.
Mataifa wanachama wa Jumuiya ya Maendeleo ya Nchi za Kusini mwa Afrika (SADC) wanafanyakzi pamoja ili kuhakikisha kuwa serikali za kidemokrasia katika eneo hilo hazitishiwi au kuangushwa na waasi, na kwamba utawala wa sheria ndio utakaotawala, alisema.
M23 kiliundwa tarehe 4 Aprili mwaka huu na takriban askari 300 walioigeuka serikali ya DRC, wakitaja hali duni jeshini na kutokuwa tayari kwa serikali kuwatekeleza makubaliano ya amani ya tarehe 23 Machi 2009, makaubaliano ambayo yamekipatia jina kikundi hicho.
M23 pia kimemshutumu Raisi wa DRC Joseph Kabila kwa kufanya udanganyifu katika uchaguzi wa Novemba 2011, ambao uchaguzi uligubikwa na upinzani wa vurugu, kuenea kwa matatizo ya vifaa na ukosolewaji wa kimataifa.

Mazungumzo ya amani yenye nguvu

Kutekwa kwa mji wa Goma na M23 hapo tarehe 20 Novemba, mji mkuu wenye utajiri wa rasilimali katika Mkoa wa kaskazini wa Kivu, miezi minane baada ya kuanzisha uasi wao dhidi ya serikali, kulizua hofu ya vita vipana zaidi na matatizo makubwa ya kibinadamu, shirika la habari la AFP liliripoti.
Kukindi hicho kilijitoa kutoka Goma siku ya Jumatatu (tarehe 3 Disemba), ingawaje wapiganaji wake wamebaki karibu na mji na bado hawajarejea nyuma kilomita 20 zilizokubaliwa katika mazungumzo ya kikanda.
Kiongozi wa kisiasa wa M23 Jean-Marie Runiga alisema siku ya Jumanne kuwa kikundi chake kilikuwa tayari kuzungumza na serikali.
Mazungumzo yataanza "siku chache zijazo mjini Kampala", Waziri wa mambo ya Ndani wa DRC Richard Muyej Mangez alithibitisha. Alisema kuwa serikali itapeleka kikosi kamili wakiwemo viongozi muhimu wa kijamii na wajumbe wa bunge la taifa na seneti.
Hata hivyo, Kabila -- ambaye kikundi cha M23 kimemtaka awachie ngazi toka madarakani -- hakitarajiwi kuhudhuria katika mazungumzo ya awali.
Wakati huo huo, wataalamu wa Umoja wa Mataifa walitoa kile walichosema kuwa ni ushahidi moya ambao "unashikilia imara" shutuma za mwanzo kuwa Rwanda na Uganda viliwasaidia M23.
Ripoti hiyo ambayo AFP iliipata siku ya Jumatatu, inasema kuwa Rwanda na Uganda zilikisaidia M23 katika mashambulizi yake, huku Uganda ikitoa msaada wa vifaa na mama ya majeshi ya Rwanda kujiunga na kikosi ambacho kiliuteka Goma.
Rwanda na Uganda zilikataa katakata kuhusika katika mzozo huo.

Walinda amani wanajiandaa

Wakati taharuki iko juu, Tanzania inaendelea na mipango yake ya kupeleka kikosi kimoja chenye askari kati ya 700 na 800 chini ya uangalizi wa SADC, ikisubiri amri ya Umoja wa Mataifa, Waziri wa Mambo ya Nje na Uhusiano wa Kimataifa wa Tanzania Bernard Membe alisema.
Mwezi Agosti, nchi wanachama 11 za Mkutano wa Kimataifa juu ya Eneo la Maziwa Makuu (ICGRL) uliomba SADC kupeleka askari 4,000 huko DRC baada ya kuthibitishwa na Kifungu cha 7 cha mamlaka ya Umoja wa Mataifa, inayowapa walinda amani mamlaka ya kuchukua hatua iwapo raia watakuwa katika tishio la mara moja.
Mpaka sasa, Umoja wa Mataifa umeruhusu tu walinda amani kujilinda wenyewe iwapo watashambuliwa chini ya Kifungu cha 6 cha mamlaka yake, ambacho hakiruhusu kuwa na wajibu zaidi ya huo.
"Tunalaani kile waasi wanachofanya huko mashariki mwa Kongo," Membe alisema. "Haikubaliki kwa Tanzania." Ili kuimarisha amani katika DRC, majeshi yanaweza kutumia nguvu ili kutekeleza majukumu yao, alisema.
"Tanzania inawataka waasi waondoke Goma na maeneo mengine muhimu wanayoshikilia ili kuruhusu mazungumzo, au Umoja wa Mataifa utatoa kibali kwa majeshi ya SADC kuwa sehemu ya misheni ya kuyasaidia majeshi ya serikali ya DRC mara moja," alisema.

Vitisho kwa Tanzania

Mzozo wa DRC ni muhimu kwa Tanzania kwa sababu ikiwa utaachwa bila ya kuangaliwa, utakuwa na athari za kijamii na kisiasa kwa mataifa wanachama wa Jumuiya ya Afrika Mashariki, Membe alisema. Tanzania inaweza kukabiliwa na kumiminika kwa wingi kwa wakimbizi ikiwa mzozo utaenea, na kulifanya taifa kuwa katika hatari sana kwa vitisho vya usalama, alisema.
Tanzania imekuwa ikiwapokea wakimbizi kutoka Burundi na DRC tangu miaka ya mwanzo ya 1990. Hadi kufikia mwezi Januari huu, kulikuwa na zaidi ya wakimbizi 130,000 nchini, nusu yao wakitokea DRC, kwa mujibu wa Kamishna wa Umoja wa Mataifa kwa Wakimbizi.
Membe alisema kuwa wadau wa kanda lazima waonyeshe uongozi na kufuata mkabala wa kuwa wenye harakati ili kutuliza hali.
Mnamo tarehe 24 Novemba, Raisi Jakaya Kikwete alikutana na Kabila, Raisi wa Uganda Yoweri Museveni, Raisi wa Kenya Mwai Kibaki na mwenyekiti wa Tume ya Umoja wa Afrika Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma katika mkutano wa tano wa ICGRL.
ICGRL ilitoa wito kwa M23 kusitisha shughuli zote za vita, na kuzitaka pande zote mbili za M23 na serikali kufungamana na makubaliana yaliyotangulia. Washiriki kwa mkutano huo pia walitoa wito kwa nchi za eneo hilo kuchukua wajibu mkubwa zaidi wa kuhakikisha amani ya DRC.

Hatua za wananchi

Wananchi jijini Dar es Salaam walieleza maoni tofauti kuhusu ama Tanzania ingejishughulisha katika operesheni ya kijeshi huko DRC.
Omary Mkonge, mwenye umri wa miaka 75, alisema anapingana na serikali kupeleka askari huko DRC. "Hakuna haja kwetu kuingilia kati katika vita hivi na vitaigharimu sana nchi yetu," alisema. "Unaona, miaka 33 baada ya vita na Uganda, nchi yetu bado haijatengamaa kiuchumi. Bado tuna makovu ya vita."
Mkonge alisema kuwa serikali inapaswa kutumia nyenzo zake ili kuwasaidia Watanzania, baadhi yao wanaoshi katika umasikini wa kutisha.
Kambarage Manuga, mwenye umri wa miaka 80, yeye alisifia uamuzi wa Tanzania kupeleka wanajeshi kuwalinda wale ambao wako katika hatari ya kuathirika haraka.
"Katika vita vyovyote, kutokana na uzoefu wangu mrefu, wanawake, watoto na wazee ndio wanaoteseka zaidi," aliiambia Sabahi. "Ninaunga mkono hatua hiyo ya serikali yangu kuingilia kati mzozo wa DRC. Huwezi kubakia katika amani ambapo nyumba ya jirani yako inaungua moto
