Former soccer star George Weah has defeated Vice President Joseph
 Boakai to win Liberia’s presidential election run-off with 61.5 percent
 of the vote, based on 98.1 percent of ballots cast, the election 
commission said on Thursday.<br />
<br />
The announcement by commission chairman Jerome Korkoyah means Weah 
will succeed Ellen Johnson Sirleaf as Liberia’s president next month, in
 what will be the country’s first democratic transition since 1944.<br />
Earlier, the U.S.-based Carter Center said there were “notable 
improvements” in the handling of Tuesday’s vote from the first round in 
October, echoing positive assessments from other international 
observers.<br />
“We are very confident. We have not heard from Mr. Boakai but we 
anticipate a call at some point,” the secretary-general of Weah’s 
campaign, Janga Kowo, told Reuters.<br />
Kowo said his team’s figures were based on nearly 60 percent of 
ballots cast and showed him ahead in 14 out of Liberia’s 15 counties.<br />
In an interview in the courtyard of his home on the outskirts of the capital Monrovia, Boakai said he thought he would win.<br />
“I don’t have a sense of losing the election,” he said.<br />
“What we wanted and all hoped for were free, fair and transparent 
elections. I doubt seriously if that is what we are going to get,” he 
added, without elaborating.<br />
Weah, the only African ever to be named FIFA World Player of the 
Year, was widely considered the favourite to succeed outgoing president 
and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Ellen Johnson Sirleaf.<br />
Liberia is Africa’s oldest modern republic and was founded by freed 
U.S. slaves in 1847. Its last democratic transfer of power occurred in 
1944 and was followed by a military coup in 1980 and a 14-year civil war
 that ended only in 2003.</div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: x-small;">Russia will create three new 
military divisions on its Western flank in 2016 and bring five new 
strategic nuclear missile regiments into service, Sergei Shoigu, the 
country’s defence minister, was quoted as saying by news agencies on 
Tuesday.</span></span></div>
<div class="hide-in-mobile" style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.6px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Shoigu’s announcement was consistent with a multi-billion dollar 
overhaul of Russia’s military, which is currently carrying out air 
strikes in Syria after helping annex Ukraine’s Crimea region in 2014.</span></span></div>
<div class="hide-in-mobile" style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.6px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Shoigu did not explain the motivation for forming the new divisions, but
 said it would be one of the most important tasks for the defence 
ministry this year. He said every military district should also expect 
to undergo spot checks in 2016.</span></span></div>
<div class="hide-in-mobile" style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.6px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">“Our main effort should go into strengthening the potential of our 
strategic nuclear forces and of fulfilling the space defense program,” 
the RIA Novosti agency quoted Shoigu as telling a meeting.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">It was also necessary to steadily improve the infrastructure supporting

A statement released by the Directorate of Communication from the State 
house said President Magufuli has directed the ministry of Natural 
Resources and Tourism to ensure the involved culprits are caught and 
brought to justice.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 27.4286px; margin: 0px 0px 12px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
He moreover promised that his government will continue with efforts 
against anti-poaching to reserve the wildlife. “I personally support the
 fight against poaching in our game reserves and national parks.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 27.4286px; margin: 0px 0px 12px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
Also I urge various stakeholders not to be discouraged by the incident 
and instead let us join hands against the poachers” said the President 
in the statement. The previous report by the ministry of Natural 
Resources and Tourism to the public said five suspects were held in 
connection with the incident to assist investigation.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 27.4286px; margin: 0px 0px 12px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
Also the Tanzania National Parks (Tanapa) cautioned that these people 
are heavily armed with sophisticated military weapons used for illegal 
poaching of elephants in our conservation areas hence mass efforts from 
all stakeholders mostly the citizens are crucial for the success of the 
mission.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 27.4286px; margin: 0px 0px 12px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
On the same issue the Minister for Tourism and Natural Resources, Prof 
Jumanne Maghembe stressed that it was high time major anti poaching 
operations are conducted on national parks and game reserves especially 
in those areas bordering villages as some poachers may pose as 
residents.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 27.4286px; margin: 0px 0px 12px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
The president has sent his condolences to the British embassy for the 
lost citizen pilot Gower who was providing his services for anti- 
poaching service in the country. Gower has been working in Tanzania for 
seven years.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 27.4286px; margin: 0px 0px 12px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
The incident which caught the attention of many international media and 
organisations took place over the weekend when Roger was flying the 
helicopter and his co-pilot, Mr Nicky Bester and game security officer 
were badly injured. Three elephants were found killed by the poachers.</div>

fussy Diamond Platnumz,Tanzania's biggest pop act,was seated at a corner of a
popular,upscale restaurant along Kimathi Street. He was flanked by his friend
Biggy Hassan,two bodyguards and his make up artist TanashI. Diamond had been
waiting for Kenya's premier Reality Show Princess,Vera Sidika. To come along
with Vera was His Rapcellency Prezzo who will be remembered for causing a
television foofaraw a couple weeks ago.</span></a></div>
<h1 class="post-title entry-title" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #999999; font-family: 'Roboto Condensed', sans-serif; font-size: 1.4rem; font-stretch: inherit; font-weight: 400; margin: 10px 0px 0.6em; padding: 15px; position: relative; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;">

<div style="background: white; line-height: 115%; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "inherit" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Ensconced
at a corner of the classy restaurant,chowing away on some chicken
breasts,Diamond was talking in a hushed tone to his entourage when Vera walked
in. She was alone... And was carrying a huge purple Louis Vuitton bag,her
buoyant hair bouncing away as she shashyed her way towards the smiling Bongo
King.</span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 115%; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "inherit" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Diamond
was in a hurry,it appeared as he quickly arose,gave Vera a warm hug and pulled
a chair for her. She smiled and sank into the chair,Biggy Hassan saying
something about her butt and they all laughed.</span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 115%; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "inherit" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">One
of Diamond's security guys was seen walking towards the counter to probably
make some payments or something. And soon after,a waitress walked over to
Diamond's table with something that looked like packed meat pies or chicken.
Diamond didn't look up. He mostly stayed on his phone,avoiding the public as
people had now started realizing who these people were. He actually pulled the
Tiffah-emblazoned hoodie he was wearing over his head,whispering something to
Vera.</span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 115%; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "inherit" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Not
long after that,Prezzo walked in. He wasn't as uproarious as he always is. He
had a rather toned down countenance,politely saying hi to some chatty girls who
had noticed him and removing his earphones to hear what they were saying to
him. Quickly,he scanned across the room and saw the table where Vera and
company sat. Actually,Vera waved at him and then he walked over.</span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 115%; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "inherit" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Just
then,Diamond and Vera got up,exchanged pleasantries with him and one of
Diamond's security pulled a chair for Prezzo. But he was late. There was no
time to sit. They were all enroute to a secret video shoot sponsored by one of
the leading Telecommunications companies in Kenya for a song that Prezzo and
Diamond had both secretly recorded. A waitress came over,handed the crew what
seemed to be money folded into a bill and politely walked away. Hassan took the
money and they all arose and left the restaurant.</span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 115%; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "inherit" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Outside,Prezzo's
car had been clamped by the City Council. He had showed up in a shimmering blue
BMW X6 and had double packed it outside Nation Center. Vera,who drives a Range
Rover Sport,had used a Uber to get to town. And Diamond had packed two of his
ritzy cars somewhere beside Jamia Mall.</span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 115%; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "inherit" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Exasperated,Prezzo
descended into a meltdown. He cursed and yanked his earphones off his
ears,removed his Gucci sunglasses and frantically tried to find the guys who
had clamped his car. He hollered at some ladies dressed in the traditional
Yellow Aprons to come over,the ladies came,gave him little audience and then
told him that he'd have to wait until the chaps who had clamped his car showed
up. At this point,Prezzo went ballistic,launching into a expletive-filled
rant,cursing and swearing,kicking the ground angrily and getting his phone out
to make an urgent call.</span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 115%; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "inherit" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Vera
seemed out of place. She was at a loss over how to react and what to do. She
was to ride with Prezzo in his BMX X6 and Diamond and his crew had already left
for their cars. Vera stood by,idly,confused over who to call and clearly pissed
that she was standing in the sun on such a hot afternoon. People had started
noticing them. And this was making Vera even more uncomfortable.</span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 115%; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "inherit" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Intuitively,Vera
wore her stunners,walked over to Prezzo to try and calm him down while at the
same time trying to rebuff some guys who'd started forming around her and
wanting to talk to her and take their pics.</span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 115%; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "inherit" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Some
ten minutes later,some two burly chaps appeared,they talked to Prezzo pretty
fast,unbuttoned their shirts,folded their sleeves,got down to their knees and
started unclamping Prezzo's gleaming BMW.</span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 115%; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "inherit" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">In
less than 6 minutes,these guys,dressed in blue jeans and loose shirts,had already
cut through the City Council clamp,pulled it aside,demolished it and freed
Prezzo's car. A crowd had built up by now. Quickly,Prezzo jumped into the
car,Vera jumped into the front seat and the two guys quickly jumped in the back
seat...One of the guys then jumped out of the car,collected the yellow clamp
from the ground and threw it t the boot of Prezzo's car.</span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 115%; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "inherit" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Prezzo
hooted loudly to ward off the crowd of onlookers,started the engine but before
the could drive away,City Council guys showed up on a van that was driven and
parked right behind him. Quickly,two City Council officials jumped out and ran
to Prezzo's car. Prezzo got his gun out and shot in the air,yelling 'Fuck You!
Fuck You!'. The crowd scampered for safety... Someone almost got knocked over
by a car in the ensuing melee. And as the City Council officials attempted to
reach Prezzo's car and open it, one of Prezzo's guys punched him in the face
hard,sending him staggering back as Prezzo drove away in the speed of
light,blaring Tupac's Carlifonia Love.</span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 115%; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "inherit" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">There
was traffic at around the Kenyatta Avenue Junction and Prezzo cut through
it,snaking his way through the red lights and driving towards Tom Mboya Street
like a maniac. He was hooting loudly and yelling at other motorists most of
whom swerved their cars and yelled back at him as he cut his way towards Thika
Road.</span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 115%; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "inherit" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">And
in what had started to look like a scene out of a Quentin Tarantino Hollywood
Blockbuster,the City Council guys jumped into their van,started it and decided
to give Prezzo a chase. They drove like maniacs,too... Maneuvering their way
through traffic to almost catch up with Prezzo's BMW at around the EastMatt
Supermarket along Tom Mboya Street. Driving through carelessly parked Githurai
44 mini buses,Prezzo was soon joining the Thika Superhighway.</span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 115%; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "inherit" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Hooting
like psychopaths,the Kanjo guys,who now numbered around 6,drove through the Tom
Mboya gridlock too and gave a maddening chase of Prezzo. In no time,they almost
caught up to him way past Ngara. Prezzo drove on... Hooting loudly and changing
lanes with the speed of light. His guys with their heads craned out,bullying
other motorists out of the way.</span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 115%; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "inherit" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">It
was a like a scene straight from the second installation of the Kevin Hart Ride
Along movie.</span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 115%; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "inherit" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Avoiding
Thika Road,Prezzo joined the Kiambu Road and sped his way like a deranged biker
past Muthaiga. He had now lost the guys. He drove on... The first stop was
Ridgeways Mall where,it appeared,was where the action was to be.</span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 115%; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "inherit" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">He
swerved fast,joined the Ridgeways Mall entrance road and drove down,quickly
parking next to a Black Subaru Outback. He jumped out the car,so did Vera and
the other two guys who banged the door and hurried along into a club around the
mall.</span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 115%; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "inherit" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">They
were to meet up with Diamond in the club as Vera had been on the phone with
Diamond all through. At the club's entrance,they were met by a surprised Biggy
Hassan who listened intently to their story of shocking escape,daredevilry and
sheer bravado.</span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 115%; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "inherit" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Vera
then rushed back to the car to pick her handbag leaving Prezzo and his men
standing around Nakumatt supermarket with Biggy Hassan.</span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 115%; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "inherit" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">But
as Vera was locking the car door,she saw the same City Council van,followed by
a blue Police Landrover,drive past the mall towards Kiambu</span></div>

 National Sports Act No.12 of 1967, which also established the council.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">
</span></span>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">The 5,000/- as fee paid by clubs and 
associations, according to the secretary general, is not relevant 
regarding to the value of the currency.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">
</span></span>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">However, Kiganja told this paper that 
“NSC is now pushing for reforms of the existing 1967 National Sports 
Policy, followed by laws. NSC, which was established under Parliament 
Act No. 12 of 1967 and amended in 1971, has the role to promote and 
develop any kind of sports in the country, whereas sports associations 
and clubs are its major stakeholders.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">
</span></span>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Despite of outdated legislations that 
limit NSC’s sources of fund, he said, the Minister for Information, 
Culture, Arts and Sports Harrison Mwakyembe and Tanzania Gaming Board 
have been very supportive to the council.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">
</span></span>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Apart from fees paid by clubs and 
associations, the council is also entitled one per cent of total gate 
collections from stadiums and one half of money collected out of tax, 
fees or levies generated from national lottery and sponsorship.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">
</span></span>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">But the secretary told this paper that 
the cash is not sufficient for developing sports activities in the 
country though he anticipated positive outcomes if sports policy and the
 laws will be changed. Apart from planning the income generating 
activities, the NSC official said the council is focusing on 
strengthening sports associations by focusing on good governance.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">
</span></span>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">The secretary general said NSC has been 
insisting on the good governance and whenever council’s officials meet 
with sports association leaders they remind them on the importance of 
the matter. He was optimistic that the stronger associations will manage
 sports activities and lift the country to the international arena.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">
</span></span>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Kiganja reminded associations to give 
more under 18 year-old youth ample time to participate in their 
respective senior teams to gain experience since they hold the future of
 Tanzania sports in international arenas.</span></span></div>

Shortly afterwards, the pair began to correspond. At first the cardinal's letters were formal, but as their friendship grew, they become more intimate.</div>

Photographs which have never been seen before by the public reveal Karol Wojtyla at his most relaxed. He invited Ms Tymieniecka to join him on country walks and skiing holidays - she even joined him on a group camping trip. The pictures also show her visiting him at the Vatican.</div>
