Pata Maisha, Ugunduzi

Niliketi mbele ya TV yangu siku ya Jumapili nikitazama awamu ya hivi punde ya mfululizo wa BBC/Discovery “Maisha”.

Ni wakati wa kuruhusu Texas kuwa nchi yake tena

Kana kwamba viwango vya elimu havikuwa vibaya vya kutosha katika nchi hii, Texas has decided to make them worse. Msukumo wa hivi majuzi kutoka kwa bodi ya shule ya kihafidhina umeandika upya historia, kihalisi.

Nilipata upeperushaji mfupi wa kipindi cha TV “Madaktari“, kipindi cha leo kilipewa jina “Dharura za Kimatibabu ambazo Huwezi Kupuuza”. Kwa sehemu kubwa wao regurgitate uthibitisho chanya afya ya matibabu.
