Rest in Peace Sharon Jones



The Late Singer Sharon Jones 1956-2016

   NEW YORK (AP) - Sharon Jones, the stout powerhouse who shepherded a soul revival despite not finding stardom until middle age, has died. She was 60.

   Jones' representative, Judy Miller Silverman, said Jones died Friday at a Cooperstown, New York, hospital after battling pancreatic cancer. Loved ones and members of her retro-soul band, the Dap-Kings, were among those surrounding her, Silverman said.

   The story of Jones' battle with cancer, first diagnosed in 2013, was told in Barbara Kopple's documentary, "Miss Sharon Jones!" released earlier this year. Though she triumphantly returned to the stage in 2015 after the cancer went into remission, Jones late last year announced its return. Still, Jones mounted another comeback with the defiant single "I'm Still Here" and hit the road again this summer with the Dap-Kings even while undergoing chemotherapy.

   "You got to be brave," a debilitated Jones told the Associated Press in July , in between tour stops. "I want to use the time that I have. I don't want to spend it all laid up, wishing I had done that gig."

   Jones' death was immediately noted on social media and throughout the music industry. The British producer Mark Ronson, who brought the Dap-Kings in to play backing band to Amy Winehouse on her breakthrough album, "Back to Black," said, "Sharon Jones had one of the most magnificent, gut-wrenching voices of anyone in recent time."

   The youngest of six children, Sharon Lafaye Jones was born on May 4, 1956, in Augusta, Georgia. Her family lived in nearby North Augusta, South Carolina, across the Savannah River from the birthplace of James Brown. Jones, who would grow into a dynamic, show-stopping performer, grew up idolizing the Godfather of Soul and would later be frequently tagged as "the female James Brown."

   But for decades, such a fate was unimaginable. On "I'm Still Here," she sings of being turned down by music executives for being "too short, too fat, too black and too old."

   After growing up in Brooklyn (her mother moved to escape an abusive husband), Jones regularly sang gospel at her church, performed for years in a wedding band and sang back-up for various session bands. To make ends meet, she worked as a corrections officer at the Rikers Island jail complex and was a bank security guard.

   But in one recording session, she caught the attention of Gabriel Roth and Philip Lehman. The two, blown away by Jones' fiery voice, made her the lead singer of their newly formed Dap-Kings and launched the Bushwick, Brooklyn-based label, Daptone Records, around her unlikely star power.

   They debuted with 2002's "Dap-Dippin' With Sharon Jones and The Dap-Kings," released when Jones was 46. Three more albums followed in the ensuing decade, and two compilations. Standouts included a soulful rendition of Woody Guthrie's "This Land Is Your Land" and the single "100 Days, 100 Nights," in which she belts: "100 days, 100 nights to know a man's heart/ And a little more, before, he knows his own."

   The sound, backed by walls of horns and tightly guided by bandleader Roth, was propelled by Jones' grit and ferocity. For her, soul and survival went hand in hand. Her torrid performances began, like Brown's, with a prolonged introduction from her bandmates.

   Jones never disparaged the better-selling British soul revival led by Ronson and Winehouse that coincided with her rise. But she wasn't shy about claiming to be the more genuine article.

   "We've been there, and we're still doin' this," Jones told New York magazine in 2010. "In another few years, what are they gonna be doin'?"

   Their sixth album, "Give the People What They Want" earned Jones her first Grammy nomination for best R&B album. Their last album, "It's a Holiday Soul Party," was released last year.

   Kopple witnessed the charismatic Jones light up hospital wards while undergoing chemo. "When people are around or there's an audience, that gives her fuel and she forgets her pain," the director said ahead of the release of "Miss Sharon Jones!"

   Even while suffering the effects of her cancer and its treatments, the workmanlike Jones toured relentlessly

   "It's therapy," Jones said of performing in July. "I know I need rest and sleep. But I want to work and that is our job."

Hospitali ya Kutibu Kansa Kujengwa Bukoba

MWEKEZAJI MZAWA AAMUA KUWEKEZA KAGERA KWA KUJENGA    HOSPITALI KUBWA YA KUTIBU MAGONJWA YA KANSA KATIKA MANISPAA YA BUKOBA

Mkoa wa Kagera kupiga hatua kubwa kimaendeleo baada ya kujitokeza mwekezaji mzalendo ambaye ni Mshauri Mkuu wa Kampuni ya VIP Engineering and Marketing Company Ltd ya Jijini Dar es Salaam Bwana James Rugemalila kuanza mchakato wa kujenga kituo kikubwa (hospitali) ya magonjwa ya matibabu ya Kansa katika Manispaa ya Bukoba.

Bw. James Rugemalila akiambatana na ujumbe mzito na wataalamu wa afya kutoka nchi mbalimbali alifika katika ofisi ya Mkuu wa Mkoa wa Kagera tarehe 10/07/2015 na kuongea na Katibu Tawala mkoa Bw. Nassor Mnambila ambaye alimhakikishia juu ya kupata ardhi wanayohitaji na kuwa serikali ya mkoa itawaunga mkono katika hatua zote za kupatikana kwa kituo hicho.

Aidha Bw. Rugemalila na ujumbe wake walifika  Manispaa ya Bukoba na kuongea na Kaimu Mkurugenzi Bw. Lukiko Chibunu ambaye pia aliwahakikishia kuwa ardhi ipo na tayari wameitenga kwa ajili ya uwekezaji huo kama walivyoombwa na Bw. Rugemalila na walidhuru eneo husika Mtaa wa Makongo  karibu na Ziwa Victoria.

Ujumbe huo ulilidhishwa na eneo husika pia  Bw. Rugemalila aliambatana na Profesa Anthony Pais Mkuu wa Idara ya Upasuaji kutoka Bangalore India ambaye alisema Tanzania na Mkoa wa Kagera ni muhimu kuwa na kituo hicho kutokana na takwimu za Shirika la Afya ulimwenguni (WHO).

Profesa Pais alisema kuwa wagonjwa wa kansa 35000 wanatambuliwa kila mwaka duniani na asilimia 90%  ya wagonjwa wanatoka duniani kote na wagonjwa 3000 wanatoka Tanzania kila mwaka na hupelekwa nje ya nchi kutibiwa ambapo baada ya kituo hicho kujengwa itakuwa fursa kwa watanzania kupata matibabu hapa hapa nchini  na mkoani Kagera.

Vilevile Profesa Pais alisema kuwa Kampuni ya VIP Engenering and Marketing Ltd iliamua kujenga kituo hicho mkoani Kagera kwasababu walipoonyeshwa eneo la Makongo katika Manispaa ya Bukoba walipendezwa nalo sana pia mkoa wa Kagera umepakana na nchi zote za Afrika Mashariki ambapo ni moja wapo ya fursa katika uwekezaji.

Naye Bw. Anic Kashasha Mkuu wa Kitengo cha Mahusiano na Mawasiliano katika Kampuni ya VIP Engineering Ltd alisema kuwa kituo hicho mara baada ya kukamilika kitajulikana kwa jina la (RUTAKWABYERA CANCER HEALTH CENTER) na kitakuwa na hadhi zote  za hali ya juu mpaka kawaida ili kutoa fursa kwa wananchi wote kupata huduma stahili.

Kituo hicho kwa kuanzia kitajengwa na kuanza na vitanda 100 na mara baada ya kukamilika kitakuwa na vitanda 500 pia zitajengwa hosteli za wananchi ambao watakuwa wanawaleta wagonjwa wao kupata mahala pakujihifadhi.  Kitaitwa kituo badala ya hospitali kwani kitakuwa kinaendesha uchunguzi, ugunduzi, na kutoa tiba na elimu juu ya ugonjwa wa Kansa.

Kituo cha Rutakwabyera kinatarajiwa kujengwa ndani ya miaka mitatu kuanzia sasa na gharama za mradi mzima zitajulikana mara baada ya ujenzi kuanza rasmi. Mkoa wa Kagera unazo Nyanja nyingi sana za uwekezaji wazawa na wawekezaji mbalimbali mnakaribishwa kuwekeza Kagera.

Fahamu Jinsi Radiotherapy Inavyoweza kuokoa Maisha

Dk. Mahadev, mshauri mwandamizi wa radiotherapia kutoka Hospitali za Apollo.


Na Mwandishi wetu,
Matibabu ya kawaida ya saratani huwa yanahusisha upasuaji, radiotherapia na kemotherapia. Hivi karibuni kumekuwa na ongezeko kubwa kwenye tiba kwa njia hizo mbili. Katika hatua za mwanzo, saratani huwa ni ugonjwa unaotibika kwa dozi moja mahususi lakini saratani iliyosambaa au kukomaa inahitaji dozi zaidi ya moja katika kuitibu. Radiotherapia, ni tiba iliyopo katika mfumo maalumu unaoleta matokeo katika mwili mzima.
Dk. Mahadev , mshauri mwandamizi wa tiba ya uvimbe kwa mionzi kutoka hospitali za Apollo anaeleza kwamba radiotherapia inahusisha chembe chembe ndogo za mionzi ya gamma au X-rays katika kutibu saratani na hata matatizo ambayo sio ya saratani pia. Mionzi hii imegawanyika katika ile mionzi ya mbali (external radiotherapy) ambayo chanzo cha mionzi kinakuwa mbali na mwili na ile mionzi ya karibu ambayo mionzi inawekwa karibu ili kuchoma sehemu yenye uvimbe peke yake.

Mionzi ya karibu ni aina nzuri ya kutibu saratani ila kwa uvimbe unaoonekana kirahisi na unaofikika. Hivyo saratani iliyopo mdomoni, saratani ya tezi dume, saratani ya kizazi zote zinaweza kutibiwa kwa mionzi ya karibu peke yake. Faida kubwa ya mionzi ya karibu ukilinganisha na mionzi ya mbali ni kwamba mionzi ya karibu inahusisha uponyaji ndani ya muda mfupi (siku 3-5) wakati mionzi ya mbali inachukua hadi wiki 7 hadi 8. Uvimbe wowote uliokomaa unahitaji mionzi ya mbali.

Lengo kubwa la matumizi ya radiotherapia ni kuchoma sehemu pekee yenye uvimbe na kuepuka kuchoma sehemu nyingine za pembeni katika mwili. Mionzi ya mbali inahistoria ndefu kutoka enzi za cobalt kwenda kwenye hali ya teknolojia ya juu ya kutoa tiba ya mionzi kwa moduli ya hali ya juu (IMRT), mionzi kwa kuongozwa na picha (IGRT), upasuaji kwa njia ya sterio (SRS) na njia ya sterio kwa mionzi mwilini (SBRT). Mashine yenye program maalumu kwa ajili ya upasuaji (Cyberknife robotic radiosurgery ) ni njia bora zaidi katika kufanya SRS na SBRT, aliongeza Dk. Mahadev  kuwa teknolojia hizi zinapatikana katika hospitali za Apollo.

Umuhimu pekee wa kutumia mashine yenye program maalumu kwa ajili ya upasuaji ni kukata milimeta sahihi na uponyaji katika siku chache. Ni tiba ya mgonjwa bila kulazwa na hahihitaji nusu kaputi katika kufanyika. Hivyo saratani ya mapafu na tezi dume inaweza kutibika ndani ya siku 3 hadi 5, wakati muda wake kawaida huchukua wiki 7-8 kwa uangalizi wa karibu. Mashine yenye program maalumu kwa ajili ya upasuaji ni muhimu katika kutibu uvimbe, ambao hauwezekani kufanyiwa operesheni kwa sababu ya eneo ilipo aidha katika ubongo au uti wa mgongo. Inatumika kutibu magonjwa kama meningiomas, uvimbe katika pituitary, mishipa ya ateri iliyodhofika (AVM) na madhara kutokana na saratani katika ubongo, mapafu na ini.

Dk. Mahadev  anaelezea njia bora ya kutumia radiotherapia ni kwa protoni. Faida kubwa ya protoni ukilinganisha na njia ya kawaida ni katika kutoa mionzi kwa umakini zaidi hasa kuchoma sehemu yenye uvimbe peke yake. Hiyo inapelekea matokeo mazuri na madhaifu machache. Kutokana na kutokuwa na dozi zaidi katika kutibu uvimbe, ni vyema kudhibiti uvimbe ukiwa katika hatua za mwanzo ambapo huwa tunaogopaga madhara ya kutumia mionzi. Matumizi ya protoni ni mapinduzi katika tiba ya saratani. Saratani ya kichwa na shingo, mapafu na tezi dume huwa zinatibika kirahisi kabisa kwa mionzi hii ya protoni.

Baadhi ya saratani zinazotibika kwa upasuaji, inaweza kutibika kirahisi kwa radiotherapia tu. Ikiwa hatua ya mwanzo, saratani ya mdomoni, mfumo wa chakula, tezi dume, zaweza tibiwa kwa mionzi peke yake. Faida katika kutibu aina hizi za saratani ni kuwa zipo sehemu zinazofikika. Mgonjwa anaweza kuwa na ogani inayofanya kazi vizuri hivyo kuona ubora wa maisha. Saratani nyingi zilizokomaa huwa zinahitaji kwa pamoja upasuaji, radiotherapia na kemotherapia katika kuitibu ambazo zote zinapatikana katika teknolojia ya juu kutoka hospitali za Apollo.

Tumetoka kwenye enzi za kufanya operesheni kubwa na kuingia kwenye utunzaji wa ogani zetu kwa msaada wa teknolojia ya mionzi bora na dawa mpya na bora za tiba kwa kemotherapia. Kwa mfano saratani ya matiti ndio saratani inayoongoza kwa wanawake duniani. Hapo kabla, titi lote lilikuwa linakatwa. Ila kwa sasa wagonjwa wengi wanabaki na matiti yao salama kwa upasuaji mdogo tu unaofanywa.

Tiba hiyo ndogo katika tiba inawasaidia wanawake kuwa na saikolojia chanya inayowafanya wapone haraka pia. Kichwa na shingo, mfumo wa chakula, saratani ya tezi dume na sehemu nyingine ambazo huwa kutokuondoa ogani ni kitu cha muhimu katika tiba.
Radiotherapia ni mbadaka zuri kuepuka upasuaji au kemotherapia katika kupambana na saratani. Mabadiliko makubwa katika teknolojia na matumizi ya kompyuta yamewezesha utoaji bora wa huduma ya tiba ya mionzi kwa madhara kidogo sana.



Kuhusu Hospitali ya Apollo

Hospitali za Apollo ni za kwanza katika eneo Asia Pacific kutoa huduma za upasuaji kwa kutumia mfumo huu wa Robot, ambayo ni aina ya upasuaji isiyokuwa na madhara. Taasisi ya upasuaji kutumia Robot iliyopo hospitalini hapo wamejitoa kipekee katika kutoa huduma bora kwa wagonjwa.

Taasisi ina wataalamu waliobobea kwenye mafunzo ya upasuaji, upendo katika utoaji wa huduma vifaa vya matibabu vya kisasa vinavyolenga kutoa uzoefu bora kwa mgonjwa. Vifaa hivyo ni pamoja na vifaa Robot ya Da Vinci inayotumika katika upasuaji.

Mfumo huu wa upasuaji hutumika katika teknolojia ya upasuaji wa magonjwa yanayohusiana na mfumo wa mkojo (Urology), magonjwa ya wanawake (Gynaecology), moyo, utumbo, na magonjwa ya watoto na matatizo ya uti wa mgongo.

Mistari ya kusimamia- Kwa uponyaji wa Nancy

Psalms 107:19-20

Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them from their distress. 20 He sent out his word and healed them; he rescued them from the grave.

James 5:14-15 "Is any sick among you? Let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him."

Deutoronomy 7:15 – Kumbukumbu la torati 7:15

Jeremiah 30:17 For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the LORD; because they called thee an Outcast, saying, This is Zion, whom no man seeketh after

Psalms 43:1 The LORD sustains them on their sickbed and restores them from their bed of illness.

Kwa maombi ya binafsi:

Isaiah 58:6-11

6 “Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice

and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free

and break every yoke? 7 Is it not to share your food with the hungry

and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter— when you see the naked, to clothe them, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?

8 Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear; then your righteousness[a] will go before you, and the glory of the LORD will be your rear guard. 9 Then you will call, and the LORD will answer;

you will cry for help, and he will say: Here am I. “If you do away with the yoke of oppression, with the pointing finger and malicious talk,

10 and if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday. 11 The LORD will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame.

You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.

Jeremia 33:3 Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.

2 Chronicles 7:14

14 if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

Psalms 145: 18-19

18 The LORD is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.

19 He fulfills the desires of those who fear him; he hears their cry and saves them.

Kila mtu yuko huru kupanga ratiba ya kula. Hakuna restriction ya kukaa bila kula siku nzima ila restriction ni kufuatilia vyakula vinavyoruhusiwa kuliwa. Angalia list hiyo ya vyakula. Pia tujitahidi na kukutana kwa maombi ya pamoja angalau mara moja kwa siku, kama huwezi kuingia kwenye maombi ya usiku niambie ili nipange muda wa kuomba nawewe au wewe na Nancy na mama au baba yake.

Wizi Ocean Road Hospital

Wadau, mnaweza kuamini kuwa vifaa hivi vya chemotherapy vimeibiwa kutoka Ocean Road Hospital. Ocean Road ni hospitali kuu Bongo ya kutibu ugonjwa wa saratani (cancer). Yaani wametoa huo mtambo mkubwa bila mtu yeyote kuona kweli? Walinzi walikuwa wapi? Wafanyakazi walikuwa wapi? Najua pale kuna manesi na madaktari 24/7!
Yaani huo wizi lazima ilikuwa ni inside job. Lazima kulikuwa na watu waliojua kuitoa huko bila kuiharibu. Hivi wanausalama wanafanya nini siku hizi huko Bongo?
***********************************************************************
Picha na Maelezo ya chini kutoka Michuzi Blog:
Hii ndo aina ya mashine zilizoibwa yapata wiki mbili zilizopita pale ORCI zaitwa Control Console, zimenunuliwa tena mpya kwa gharama ya Dola za US 22,000/- na hivyo wagonjwa wameanza tena leo kupata huduma baada ya kusimama kwa muda wote huo.

Mdau Bernard Rwebangira anashindwa kuelewa mashine kubwa na nyeti kama hii iliiniwaibiwaje? ungana naye kujadili hilo kwa kubofya hapa

Cancer Treatment Might Offer Clue To AIDS Cure

Doctors at a Berlin hospital were surprised to discover that, while treating a man for cancer, they also rid his blood of the HIV virus. This could yield a new direction in the fight against AIDS.

The patient in question was a 42-year-old American living in Berlin who was undergoing a bone marrow transplant at that city's Charite hospital.

The bone-marrow donors were selected because they possessed a rare HIV-resistant genetic mutation since the man had to stop taking AIDS-inhibiting medication for the cancer treatment to work.

On Wednesday, Nov. 12, doctors announced that after two years of treatment, not only had the patient not contracted AIDS -- his blood now appeared to be clear of HIV infection.

"There is no longer demonstrable evidence that the patient is infected," Eckhard Thiel, Director of Charite's Clinic for Hematology and Oncology, told reporters. "We're very happy and proud to have achieved this breakthrough."

Thiel added that the result was the first of its kind ever recorded in the world.

The question is now: What could it mean in the search for a cure for HIV-AIDS?

No immediate remedy
Some 2 million people died of AIDS in 2005

Scientists cautioned that the fact that the HIV virus can no longer be detected in the patient's blood stream does not necessarily mean it is absent from his entire body.

"The HIV virus could be in the spleen, the lymph nodes, the nerve cells -- anywhere really," Norbert Brockmeyer, a clinic director at the university hospital of Bochum, told the online edition of the news magazine Der Spiegel.

And even if effective against HIV, several factors argue against the idea that similar treatments could be carried out on a wide-spread basis.

Bone marrow transplants and the accompanying chemotherapy are themselves dangerous procedures, and the patient in question was fortunate in having a genetic make-up that allowed for an unusually high number of potential donors.

Charite doctors say they are monitoring the patient's health and are prepared to put him back on anti-retroviral drugs if the HIV infection reappears.

"We cannot say with certainty that the virus won't begin replicating itself in the future," Thomas Schneider, Charite's Director of Infectology, told a press conference. "But the mere fact that it hasn't yet done so, is a minor sensation."

More research will be needed to determine what exact significance, if any, the breakthrough at the Charite has for the overall fight against AIDS.

Today, more than 38 million people, mostly in Africa and Asia, are estimated to be infected with HIV, the virus which causes AIDS.
