Zimbabwe has for years been engrossed in the debate over who might possibly take over the reins from President Robert Mugabe when he finally vacates the throne -- whichever way it happens.
Ninety-year-old Mugabe has been in power since Independence in 1980 but has not indicated when he will step down or hinted on a possible successor.
But with age and poor health now catching up with Mugabe, a school of thought that Zimbabwe is ripe for a female President is emerging.
Those that subscribe to this belief anchor their arguments on the fact that the country has many women who have the requisite qualities to lead the nation.
They also argue that if other African countries such as Malawi and Liberia had female Presidents in the persons of Joice Banda and Sirleaf Johnson respectively, then there was absolutely no reason why Zimbabwe could not achieve the same feat.
There people who however, believe that for any woman to succeed in attaining Presidential level, they need to be propped up by men.
Currently, two factions in Zanu PF are said to be positioning themselves for the Presidency. One of the factions is allegedly led by a woman, Vice-President Joice Mujuru, while the other is linked to Justice, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs minister Emmerson Mnangagwa.
Zimbabwe Women Resource Centre and Network (ZWRCN) director, Pamela Mhlanga said women in the country had the potential to lead. She said they had already demonstrated their capability in Parliament and Cabinet where they were actively taking part in debate and decision-making processes.
"Leadership is a learning process and I think women have shown they have the vision and ability to learn and lead. As ZWRCN, we are prepared to support women into leadership positions. We also believe that we need to look at women who are already in positions of influence across the board -- whether it is at the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission, our own VP Mujuru, the deputy Governor of the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe and nurture their potential," Mhlanga said.
She said it was not true that women needed to be propped up by men to attain high positions, adding that testimonies from female MPs proved women could support each other to attain positions of power.
Parliament's Women's Caucus chairperson and Zanu PF senator for Manicaland Monica Mutsvangwa also believes women are ready for the Presidency.
"Women are a force to reckon with and they have always been there at the forefront of leadership. An example is that of our heroine Ambuya Nehanda who led during the early struggles for independence. During the liberation struggle women also fought side by side with men and it simply means women can do anything and are a force to reckon with," she said.
"Since 1980, women have also benefitted from education programmes spearheaded by government and we now have many educated women who can take part in decision-making processes."
Mutsvangwa said issues of succession were discussed at party congress where people decided who they wanted to lead them - whether male or female.
But political analyst Alexander Rusero said the question of whether Zimbabwe was ready for a female President was not really based on gender equity issues. He said Zanu PF, which is a party based on communist ideologies, was unlikely to back a female Presidential candidate because in the history of communism and in countries that practised it, there had never been a female President.
"It is too early to talk about a new Presidential candidate. I do not see Mugabe handing over power one year after the July 31 2013 elections," said Rusero.
"The question of whether Zimbabwe is now ripe for a female President is a difficult one to answer because one would also ask whether the top heavy female politicians are being propped up by men or women. One finds that they are at the behest of men and it is not based on gender equity issues."
Rusero said Zimbabwe was slightly behind in terms of achieving gender parity and to see the country achieving attainment of a female President was going to be a mammoth task as men continued to decide what women should get politically, socially and economically.
"Men deliberately prop up females to block other men from attaining certain positions. I also do not think Zanu PF as a revolutionary party is prepared to be led by women. The party relies on communist ideology and if one studies communism, they will hardly find women in power," he said.

A look back at all of the Jaguar Types
To celebrate the new F-Type, we reminisce on 61 years of Jag Types
Posted: 10 Apr 2012
49 years after the first iteration landed, Jag released a similarly mid-size exec saloon at the 1998 Birmingham motor show, ready for sale on the original car's 50th birthday.
It came in a super-sporting flavour, namely the S-Type R, which got a 4.2-litre V8 and Eaton M112 supercharger making 400bhp. But you'll probably remember the diesel version, in which Jeremy set a nifty 9:59 lap time of the Nürburgring.

Regarding your return policy, which requires the mylar tag to be unbroken, how can a customer try the ring on (for size or for style)? Generally it is impossible to do so without breaking the tag. Therefore is my understanding correct, that this is basically either a no-try-on purchase, or else a final sale (if tried on, which will break the tag)?
I like this ring, which was purchased because my gold rings were getting tight because of arthritis and swelling in the left arm. The ring fits well with some room, and is easy to remove, but is a bit masculine. I have reordered another cobalt ring with the channel set diamonds which appears more feminine....

Nice, but a bit masculine

Awesome ring. I have had so many compliments
This is just what I was looking for. I needed a "daily driver" for day to day use versus my original wedding ring. (it was too big, no complaints, just too much for me!) This ring has a very "strong" look to it and the etching and the stone make for just the right feminine touch! Love love love it and i never have to take it off unlike my original wedding ring, where i couldn't sleep, wash, garden, cook with it on. So i would eventually forget to put it back on. Great purchase!Read More

Questions & Answers
Hello michaels99, If this does not fit you can return this. Happy Shopping!
How thick is the profile (not width) of this ring? That is, what's the distance between the inner radius and the outer radius?
Hello michaels99, This is approximately 2 mm thick. Have a great day!

Very straightforward step-by-step instructions and it does what it says. I have a client whose 10-year-old phpBB forum could NOT be imported into any other system compatible with WordPress and dude wanted to keep EVERY. SINGLE. POST. WP United made it easy to integrate subscribers/paid users between the WP site and phpBB. Once it's working, set it and forget it.
A couple of caveats:
1) This integration is NOT for WordPress or PHP beginners. Not because of the plugin or because of WP, but because phpBB itself is not for beginners when it comes to adding MODs. You have to be able to follow directions in editing PHP code when using phpBB. There's no way around it.
2) This plugin works best with very sleek, minimal themes (if you're going for full theme integration.) The aforementioned client has a graphics-heavy theme with e-commerce, paid member management, and other special features out the wazzoo. So I turned off theme integration and it works beautifully to post elements of the phpBB forum in WordPress and integrate users.
Again, you have to know how to follow directions and edit code and upload individual files to make the plugin work in your system. If you're using phpBB, you should already have this skill.

Class conscious - Andrew Martin eats pea puree (or mushy peas)
Harrogate is so genteel that people blush when ordering "a fat rascal"
Harrogate is so genteel that people blush when ordering "a fat rascal"
by Andrew Martin Published
To Harrogate for a weekend break. The town, which always looks as if it's just been hoovered, and which I always associate with Young Conservative conferences, is usually bracketed with York in the sense of being anomalous - ie, posh - Yorkshire. Somebody once said to me that York was "basically Godalming", and the same might be said of Harrogate, although I prefer to think of it as the Bath of Yorkshire, with its spa-town grandeur.
If, as a youngster growing up in the north, you were given a tin of Farrah's Harrogate Toffee, you tended to eat the stuff as slowly and reverently as possible, and you would save the tin for the safekeeping of valuable things. Farrah's has always been the most genteel of confectioners, as signified by the name of one of its popular lines of yesteryear: "Fairy Cushions".
We stayed in the middle of town at the new Hotel du Vin, part of the Hotel du Vin chain, which is catering to the growing number of people schooled in the lore of Habitat and Conran and seeking accommodation in provincial towns. The chain has hotels in Winchester, Tunbridge Wells, Bristol, Birmingham and Brighton. I mention this not because I was given my mini-suite free of charge - far from it; the cost was £145 for the four of us - but because the hotels seem to me part of a social revolution.
In the car park, I steered my knackered Skoda very trepidatiously into a gap between two sports cars. There was a full-sized purple snooker table in the lobby, and a walk-in cigar humidor. The proportions of the suite were barn-like, the decoration minimalist; the shower - described by the hotel as "serious" - was cavernous, and I was tempted to remove the stylish free-standing notice reading, "Please help yourself to our bathroom products", along with the elegantly packaged products themselves.
The room had a name, not a number. It was called "Peter Lehmann". "I think he's a literary agent," mused the wife. It seemed plausible enough, given the chain's confident cosmopolitanism, but in fact Peter Lehmann is a wine producer, and this is the theme by which all the rooms are named. "Wine is, naturally, of fundamental importance," claims the brochure.
Not everyone in Harrogate would agree, as signified by Betty's Tea Rooms, located just over the road from the Hotel du Vin. This, too, is part of a chain, with outlets in York, Ilkley and Northallerton as well as Harrogate. The chain was started in 1919 by a Swiss confectioner called Frederick Belmont, and no one knows why it's called Betty's, although it is hinted that the Swiss confectioner himself knew very well. This mystery woman remains an erotic presence, her spirit wafting fragrantly over the servings of banana-and-walnut loaf or stem ginger cake.
If a Yorkshire lass - daughter of a GP, say - lands a place at Girton, the celebration would probably be at Betty's, where chips are not called "chips" - the monosyllable being rather too peremptory - but "chipped potatoes", and the fish comes with a wedge of lemon slotted into a thing that looks like a silver hairgrip, so you can squeeze it without getting the juice on your fingers. The accompanying mushy peas are billed as "pea puree".
When the waitress brought me my bill at Betty's, she lingered for a moment and asked: "Did you have a nice Easter?", a piece of old-fashioned politeness so shocking that, bewildered, I responded inadequately, muttering: "Suppose so."
The keynotes of Betty's are daintiness and gentility, and people blush slightly when ordering one of the specialities, a large fruit scone with the uncharacteristically raunchy name of "fat rascal". The keynotes of the Hotel du Vin are "design values", "cool", "Continental". I like both, although I admit I'm more at ease in the socially neutral territory of a decent pub.

Im studying dynamic programming and am looking to solve the following problem, which can be found here http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~vazirani/algorithms/chap6.pdf:
You are given a rectangular piece of cloth with dimensions X by Y, where X and Y are positive integers, and a list of n products that can be made using the cloth. For each product i in [1,n] you know that a rectangle of cloth of dimensions ai by bi is needed and that the final selling price of the product is ci. Assume that ai, bi, and ci are all positive integers. You have a machine that can cut any rectangular piece of cloth into two pieces either horizontally or vertically. Design an algorithm that finds the best strategy for cutting an X by Y piece of cloth so that the products made from the resulting pieces give the maximum sum of selling prices. You are free to make as many copies of a given product as you wish, or none if desired. (From Algorithms by Dasgupta, Papadimitriou, and Vazirani.)
It seems we have a sort of 2-dimensional knapsack problem, but I'm thinking it may be possible to just solve it with the traditional knapsack algorithm by considering the weights as the areas of the rectangles. Does this seem like a reasonable approach?
This is a programming assignment for a course I'm taking so please only include conceptual discussion and/or pseudo-code to illustrate ideas.

Nice colour, but there is al little blury field wich I dont like
February 12th, 2005 #3
You're friends with Chairman Moa?!
It looks pretty good. I'm not sure what you mean by halo. If you mean the rim of light on his left side I'd loose it, it makes him look cut out of a magazine and pasted onto the canvas.
The mouth doesn't seem as nicely sculpted as other parts of the face it seems a little flat.
But it's good.
February 13th, 2005 #4
hahah..yeah..me and mao? yeah we are tight. we hang out alot talking about .....stuff.
yeah, that is not the first comment i got about the uncanny resemblance, but here is the original ref picture
i think the major difference, between the pics is the shirt and stuff, but im not sure that matters that much. in the picture his face is much more tilted.
about the bluriness and stuff, the painting is alot different in real life, alot of it is distorted because i took a picture of it after it was freshly painting and glazed with lots of oil, thus making the pic hav lots of glare. seriously, like the background, in the real life, it was actually a very nice royal blue, but that greenish stuff.
neways, yeah, i think ill fix the halo and the mouth, it is kinda weird to me too.

btw, i just replaced the pic with a much better quality photo of my picture.

Ipsen Reorganizes Its US Neurology Platform and Confirms Its Goal to Become Profitable in the US in 2014 Business Wire PARIS -- June 14, 2013 Regulatory News: Ipsen (Euronext: IPN; ADR: IPSEY) (Paris:IPN) today announced that, as part of the accelerated execution of its strategy in the USA, the Group adopted a new organizational model for the distribution of Dysport^® in therapeutic indications. With the growing importance of market access and payer driven decisions in healthcare, Ipsen is shifting its business model toward account management in the USA. As such, the Dysport^® sales force has been optimized and refocused on key accounts, which will allow us to better serve physicians and patients. Marc de Garidel, Chairman and CEO of Ipsen stated: "I would like to thank all US employees for their commitment and drive in advancing Ipsen USA over the last year. We are confident that the new account driven organization for Dysport^® will help turn our US commercial operations profitable in 2014." The costs linked to this reorganization are not expected to be material for the Group. Ipsen will provide additional details during its Half Year results on 30 August 2013. About Ipsen Ipsen is a global specialty-driven pharmaceutical company with total sales exceeding €1.2 billion in 2012. Ipsen's ambition is to become a leader in specialty healthcare solutions for targeted debilitating diseases. Its development strategy is supported by 3 franchises: neurology, endocrinology and uro-oncology. Moreover, the Group has an active policy of partnerships. Ipsen's R&D is focused on its innovative and differentiated technological platforms, peptides and toxins. In 2012, R&D expenditure totalled close to €250 million, representing more than 20% of Group sales. The Group has close to 4,900 employees worldwide. Ipsen's shares are traded on segment A of Euronext Paris (stock code: IPN, ISIN code: FR0010259150) and eligible to the "Service de Règlement Différé" ("SRD"). The Group is part of the SBF 120 index. Ipsen has implemented a Sponsored Level I American Depositary Receipt (ADR) program, which trade on the over-the-counter market in the United States under the symbol IPSEY. For more information on Ipsen, visit www.ipsen.com. Forward Looking Statement The forward-looking statements, objectives and targets contained herein are based on the Group's management strategy, current views and assumptions. Such statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results, performance or events to differ materially from those anticipated herein. All of the above risks could affect the Group's future ability to achieve its financial targets, which were set assuming reasonable macroeconomic conditions based on the information available today. Moreover, the targets described in this document were prepared without taking into account external growth assumptions and potential future acquisitions, which may alter these parameters. These objectives are based on data and assumptions regarded as reasonable by the Group. These targets depend on conditions or facts likely to happen in the future, and not exclusively on historical data. Actual results may depart significantly from these targets given the occurrence of certain risks and uncertainties, notably the fact that a promising product in early development phase or clinical trial may end up never being launched on the market or reaching its commercial targets, notably for regulatory or competition reasons. The Group must face or might face competition from Generics that might translate into a loss of market share.

30 Rock's "World Champion:" Comedian Judah Friedlander
UP Comedy Club, 3rd Floor Pipers Alley (230 W. North Ave Chicago, IL 60614)
Full Price
Our Price
Most widely known as Frank on the hit NBC sitcom 30 Rock, comedian Judah Friedlander's slacker persona makes for a hilarious juxtaposition with his razor-sharp wit. Instantly recognizable for his "World Champion" baseball cap, long curly hair and oversized glasses, Friedlander uses a lazy deadpan delivery to riff on why he's better than everyone else at just about anything. With his freeform style, he uses crowd interaction to make up jokes on the fly. Nominated for an Independent Spirit Award for his supporting role in American Splendor, Friedlander's also appeared on the Late Show with David Letterman and Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, and published a karate book, How to Beat Up Anybody.

Judah was so great, I have seen so much here and his crowd work was the best of any comedian I have seen come through UP. Just a different style, not saying the other comedians were not good, they always have good people here.

MM-121 is designed to inhibit cancer growth directly, restore sensitivity to drugs to which a tumor has become resistant and delay the development of resistance of a tumor to other agents. In collaboration with Sanofi Oncology, Merrimack is conducting a Phase 2 clinical program to test MM-121 in combination with chemotherapies and other targeted agents across a wide spectrum of solid tumors in lung, breast and ovarian cancers.Synopsis: The combination of MM-121 and erlotinib has an acceptable safety profile in heavily pretreated NSCLC patients with and without EGFR mutations. Early signals of patient benefit were seen and a large randomized Phase 2 study is ongoing.Title: Targeting EGFR and ErbB3 in lung cancer patients: Clinical outcomes in a Phase I trial of MM-121 in Combination with erlotinib.Session: General Poster Session,Lung Cancer - Non-small Cell MetastaticAbstract Number: 7556Date/Time: Saturday, June 2nd, 1:15 PM – 5:15 PMLocation: S Hall A2MM-111 MM-111 is a bispecific antibody designed to target cancer cells that are characterized by overexpression of the ErbB2 cell receptor, also referred to as HER2. MM-111 is designed to uniquely address the tumor growth and survival signaling promoted by the ErbB2, ErbB3 and heregulin signaling complex. Merrimack believes that MM-111 is potentially applicable across a broad range of solid tumors and anticipates initiating Phase 2 development for MM-111 this year.Synopsis: MM-111 is being tested in an ongoing Phase 1 trial to understand the safety of combining MM-111 with multiple targeted therapies and chemotherapies. This study was initiated in February 2011 and is being conducted in collaboration with US Oncology.

MM-302 is designed to bind to cancer cells that overexpress HER2 (ErbB2) and release doxorubicin at the site of the tumor while keeping it out of the heart. Merrimack's goal is for MM-302 to have an improved safety profile compared to other anthracyclines, in particular with respect to cardiac safety. The company is conducting a monotherapy Phase 1 clinical trial of MM-302.Synopsis: MM-302 is being studied in a Phase 1 monotherapy, dose escalation trial to assess its safety, pharmacokinetics and to identify the Phase 2 dose. This trial was initiated in July 2011 and is being conducted in four centers across the US.

It works great with FF 21, only one issue when you set the "Auto hide tab bar" option and then when you hover over it, for the blank area it shows the resize component. Its a minor one though but you can look into it..
But I must say that its a new thinking. Great work.. :)

Rouge Dior's Nude Grege Lipstick has been specially chosen by Natalie Portman to have its proceeds go to the Free the Child foundation.
A lipstick chosen by Natalie Portman for Dior will give its proceeds to the Free the Child Foundation.
The Oscar-winning actress - who is the face of Miss Dior fragrance and Diorskin Nude foundation - is an ambassador for the charity, which helps liberate children from poverty, and chose it to receive money made from the sale of Rouge Dior's Nude Grege lipstick.
She revealed she picked the shade due to its number 169 having a special meaning to her.
She said: ''Six is the month that my whole family was born in -- everyone was born in June. We're all June babies. Nine is a magic number, and one is my son - his name is one in Hebrew, Aleph.''
Natalie - who is married to ballet dancer Benjamin Millepied - has a long history with Dior, and recently auctioned off a vintage 1954 dress by the house she wore to The Oscars this year.
Speaking to the website 1stdibs.com which arranged the sale, Rare Vintage owner Juliana Carione said: ''Natalie wore a dress that she fell in love with. It was the perfect dress on the perfect girl. I think it was also a great tribute to the modernity and timelessness of vintage fashion.''

NEW ORLEANS - NOVEMBER 30: Wes Welker #83 of the New England Patriots looks on during warm ups against the New Orleans Saints at Louisana Superdome on November 30, 2009 in New Orleans, Louisiana. (Photo by Scott Halleran/Getty Images)
Wes Welker was held to just three receptions and 52 yards on nine targets against the Texans earlier this season, in one of his least-productive games of the year. Although the Pats easily won that game 42-14, Texans defensive coordinator Wade Phillips wasn't very impressed with No. 83. "Ah, Welker's not [A.J.] Green," Phillips told ESPN.com. "He's a good player, but he's not that big or a real athletic guy. "[Welker is] a quick guy that gets open on option routes," he added. "[Texans Nickleback Brandon] Harris actually played him pretty good. He got a holding penalty that hurt us early in the game. But Harris played pretty well. If we don't get him on a speed guy, we're in good shape." Consider this bulletin board material.

The Puglia region
A number of places, the coasts above all, are remarkable landscapes and environments, among them the Alimini Lakes, on the Adriatic coast, and Porto Selvaggio, on the Ionic coast.
The soil is very fertile: some of the finest olive trees and grapes grow here, and their products are exported worldwide.
Salento's coasts are varied, and can be sandy or rocky, but all boast pristine beaches and crystal-clear waters.
Some of the most renowned locations in Salento for summer holidays (from May/June to mid-October) are: Lecce, Nardò, Ostuni, Ceglie Messapica, Ugento, Manduria, Porto Cesareo, Gallipoli, Torre dell'Orso, Otranto, Santa Maria di Leuca, Santa Cesarea Terme.
Salento is a peaceful land full of history and traditions whose strong points are its natural and architectural beauties of its Barocco, hospitality, atmosphere, and of course sea and its coast.
Salento is dotted with coastal watchtowers, as the coast was long the subject of attacks. The first towers may have been Norman. The remaining towers are mostly from the 15th and 16th centuries, and many of these towers are now in a very poor condition

"Nuovissimo, grazioso e fornito di tutto!"
L'appartamento è nuovissimo, grazioso e spazioso, molto meglio di quello che si vede in foto, con una terrazza perfetta per cenare all'aperto. E' fornita di tutto (dall'aria condizionata all'acqua fresca in frigo, dal detersivo al caffè!) e posizionata in una zona tranquilla. Il proprietario, che abita al piano di sotto, è disponibile e all'arrivo ci ha dato tutte le informazioni di cui avevamo bisogno, consigliandoci le migliori spiagge da visitare. Secondo noi è l'ideale per chi vuol vedere le diverse spiagge della zona (da punta prosciutto alla baia verde, tutte raggiungibili in circa 20 minuti) ma non adatta a chi non può spostarsi in auto o cerca la vita notturna.

Here is a deep conversation between 3-year-old Eva and me. I wish I could just freeze the kids at the ages they are now!
Eva: "Look, Mommy, I got a poke stick."
Me:"Cool! Is that like a poke chop?"
Eva, thinking: "Yes, it's just like a poke chop."
Folks, "school" will be starting at my house again soon ... the day after Labor Day to be exact. So you'll be seeing me around here half as much, and I may just be posting quickie things and using some guest bloggers I think you'll enjoy. Most likely it will be a lot of homeschooling and household stuff, since I'm deep in that world right now. Any writing stuff I'm dealing with (ebook cookbook, Boobie Trapped Mommy memoir, etc.) will be over at http://getpublishedparentingmags.com.
Have a great weekend, and thanks for coming by!

The Cement Garden (original 1978; edition 1994)
by Ian Mcewan
Work details
The Cement Garden by Ian McEwan (1978)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Living in a vacuum once their mother dies four children find their own way of surviving. With little contact from the outside world the group fragments, each coping with freedom and independence in their own way. How they interact with each other is explored in an edgy, pared back style. The setting of the old house perched alone in an abandoned housing estate echoes their isolation, forcing them to resolve their complicated sibling rivalry.
I really like it over Atonement. It was concise and kafkaesque. He did use stream of consciousness but it fit the narrative style and the character thoroughly. There was no fillers, although it took me a while to accept the morbid elements and the incest sexual exploration the teenage narrator had but it was a good book on its own. But I felt empty while reading it. It felt distant and unrelatable. It was dry of emotions and despite the underlying twistedness in it, it simply isn't horrifying. I mean the creep level similar to dragging nails on a blackboard and you cringe even if it was imagery and you get nausea at the back of the throat. I get that from The Handmaid's Tale, The Road and some other books that was as controversial as this. It felt bland.
This book is a fairly easy read, but it's pretty disturbing. I more or less enjoyed it, but after Confederacy of Dunces I wanted something a little more lighthearted.
Most disturbing to me is the sexual tension between Julie and her brother...
Great wirting, interesting story, excellent characters...
Without a doubt, the best thing about The Cement Garden is the author photo. That's not to say the book is so bad that the photo stands out as being exemplary; instead, it is meant to be an indication of how awesome the photo is. Now I know, some may have read more recent editions of this novel, and for those individuals I am truly sorry, because they've missed out. You see, that Ian McEwan we all know, the one with the feathery gray hair, suit jacket, and professorly stare, once aspired to be the Lennon of Literature. Oh yeah, didn't I tell you?
Enough about the seventies. Some people hate The Cement Garden and they should. It might give them cooties. Yeah, there are some of those societal taboos here, but they didn't phase me. Maybe I'm just as perverse as McEwan, though I can honestly say I was never able to rock a vest quite like that. The novel worked for me. It got across what it needed to in its brevity and it did so in a terrific voice. I like young McEwan—he knew how to simultaneously stay involved in his characters while keeping the reader interested. I have to read more McEwan before making a definitive judgment, but I get the feeling his earlier works are the most... engaging.
Some will find this book vulgar—and I certainly think many authors who would've touched the same subject would've made it so—but with McEwan it almost has a beauty to it. It's a straight forward story told without flair or trick, and, for some readers, that itself may be more vulgar than the plot. What's not vulgar, however, is that photo.
The Cement Garden is in many ways a shocking book, morbid, full of repellent imagery—and irresistibly readable. It is also the work of a writer in full control of his materials.

On our maternity unit we'll help you recover from your delivery and prepare to transition home. The unit features 28 rooms that are spacious, comfortable, and beautifully furnished. Each features a DVD player, a large TV, and lovely views of the mountains.
Your nurse will help care for both mom and baby. We encourage mothers to keep their baby in the room with them most of the time to help the two bond. In most cases, routine care for your baby can be done in the room with you if you desire. Babies who need a little extra attention can receive care in our nearby Special Care Nursery.
There's one other person who also gets some special attention: dad. Our center is designed to ensure the comfort and safety of each new mom and baby who stays here, but we've also taken extra steps to take care of dad, too. We have special fold-out beds for fathers that are almost as big as a regular double bed. They are much more comfortable than the beds you'll find in many hospitals.
In addition to our childbirth classes, we offer breastfeeding and discharge classes (with information on caring for new babies) after the big day.
Special Care Nursery
Our new Special Care Nursery provides care for babies who need a little extra attention. We're able to care for babies born at 34 weeks gestation and older who may have special needs with oxygen or feedings. Our staff is trained to give the right care these newborns' need.
Riverton Hospital has a radiologist and pediatrician on-call 24-hours-a-day, 365 days a year, just in case mom or baby has some special needs after delivery. We also have rapid access to medical and surgical specialists if the need arises.
The Women's Center at Riverton was designed to ensure complete safety for mothers and babies. Special codes are used to gain access to these areas and hospital-issued identification will be rigorously checked.

The Journal Sentinel's team of Packers beat writers provide the latest news, notes and analysis
JETS WEEK: Thursday practice report
Green Bay -- For some reason, NT Howard Green, who was claimed on waivers Wednesday from the New York Jets, was not at practice today.
Green, who would offer some much needed help behind workhorse B.J. Raji, might have had travel problems given all the high winds around the Midwest lately. I'll know for sure after Mike McCarthy briefs the media after practice (approximately 1:25 p.m.).
(Maybe they were busy grilling him for info on the Jets' defense back at the stadium.)
Neither Cullen Jenkins (calf) nor Ryan Pickett (ankle) did much of anything in the portion of practice open to the media. They basically played scout team offensive line during the walk-through. Friday will be a better barometer of their chances for playing against the Jets.
If both can't play, the Packers' DL looks like this: DE C.J. Wilson, NT Raji, DE Jarius Wynn. Green's presence is badly needed because Raji is playing way too many snaps and needs some relief. He's wearing down at the end of games.
Here's a rundown on the rest of practice:
- WR Donald Driver (thigh) was present, but did not take part in anything. There's been no word of him having a major setback. It appears he is being rested so he can play Sunday.
- CB Charles Woodson (toe) and S Nick Collins (knee) took part in the walk-through, but it didn't appear like they were going to take part in the team drills.
- CB Al Harris and S Atari Bigby continue to get lots of snaps. Maybe they'll be activated this week, maybe not. Two players would have to be cut if both are activated. I would think CB Brandon Underwood would be one and possibly FB Quinn Johnson the other. But that's pure speculation on my part.

Foreign-sourced income of resident individuals is generally exempt from tax. Non-residents are taxed only on Singapore-sourced income.
Singapore income tax is imposed on a territorial basis whereby the individual is generally taxed on all income accruing in or derived from Singapore. Since the year of assessment 2005, foreign-sourced income received in Singapore by resident individuals is exempt from tax unless the income is received through a partnership in Singapore.
A frequent business traveler whose stay in Singapore exceeds 60 days in a calendar year will be subject to tax in Singapore on the income derived from the individual's services performed in Singapore.
Liability income tax
A person's liability for Singapore tax is determined by residence status. A person can be a resident or non-resident for Singapore tax purposes. A tax resident of Singapore generally refers to an individual who resides in Singapore and includes a person who is physically present in Singapore or exercises employment (other than a director of a company) for 183 days or more during the year preceding the year of assessment. A non-resident of Singapore is generally someone who spends less than 183 days in Singapore during the year preceding the year of assessment.
If a foreign individual (excluding a director of a company and a public entertainer) commences work in Singapore from 1 January 2007 and stays or works in Singapore for a continuous period of at least 183 days straddling 2 years, the individual may be regarded as a tax resident for both years.
A resident is taxed on all income accrued in, or derived from, Singapore or received in Singapore from outside Singapore. Non-residents are taxed only on income accrued in, or derived from Singapore. Effective from the year of assessment 2005, all foreign-sourced income received in, or remitted into Singapore by a resident individual (except through a partnership in Singapore) is exempt from tax.
Definition of source
Employment income is generally treated as Singapore-sourced if the services are performed in Singapore, regardless of where the payment is made or the contract of employment is concluded.
Tax trigger points
A short-term visiting employee who exercises employment in Singapore for not more than 60 days in a calendar year (other than as a director or a public entertainer) is exempt from tax.
Based on the above, a frequent business traveler whose stay in Singapore exceeds 60 days in a calendar year would be subject to tax in Singapore on the income derived from the individual's work performed in Singapore. To the extent that the individual qualifies for exemption under the conditions of the dependent personal services article of the applicable double tax treaty, there will be no tax liability.
Types of taxable income
As a general rule, all payments (whether in the form of cash or benefits-in-kind) made by an employer to an employee for employment in Singapore are taxable in the hands of the employee, unless specifically exempted under the Income Tax Act or by concession.
Tax rates
A resident is taxed on the resident's chargeable income (after deducting applicable personal reliefs) at graduated rates ranging from 0 percent to 20 percent. Non-residents are subject to tax on employment income at a flat rate of 15 percent or at the resident tax rates, whichever is higher.
Other income of a non-resident individual is generally taxed at 20 percent unless specifically exempt or subject to a reduced treaty rate.
Liability for social security
All foreign individuals are currently exempted from participation in Singapore's national pension scheme, the Central Provident Fund (CPF). Upon becoming a permanent resident of Singapore, however, participation in the CPF is statutory.
Employee compliance obligations
Income tax returns (Form B1/B/M) are issued by the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS) in January each year. Individuals are required to complete and submit the form to the IRAS by 15 April. The IRAS may grant an extension beyond the 15 April deadline if there are valid reasons.
Employer reporting and withholding requirements
There is no requirement for the employer to withhold monthly taxes from the employee. Employers, however, are required to complete a return of remuneration form (Form IR8A) setting out the various payments under the employment for the year. The form is to be completed and given to employees by 1 March of the following year. For the year of assessment 2014, employers who have 14 or more employees (in total) for the entire year ended 31 December 2013 are required to submit their employees' income information to IRAS electronically.
In the case of departing non-Singapore citizens, written notice (Form IR21 – Notice of Cessation of Employment of non-Singapore Citizens) must be given at least 1 month prior to the date on which the person ceases employment or leaves Singapore permanently, or for a period exceeding 3 months. In addition, the employer must retain any money that is due to the employee. The employer can release the money to the employee only when the IRAS grants the tax clearance, or upon the expiration of 30 days after receipt by the IRAS of the Form IR21, whichever is earlier.
Work permit/visa requirements
A work pass will be required for a foreign individual who would like to be engaged in some form of business, profession, occupation or paid employment while in Singapore.
Generally, if the foreign individual wishes to work in managerial, executive or specialized jobs in Singapore, the foreign individual must apply to the Work Pass Division, Ministry of Manpower (MOM) Singapore, for an Employment Pass (EP) regardless of the length of the assignment. A registered entity in Singapore will need to sponsor the EP for the foreign individual.
It is the sole discretion of the MOM to grant an employment pass to an individual typically taking into account an applicant's qualifications, work experience, salary and role to be performed in Singapore.
Other immigration consideration
On 23 September 2013, MOM announced the implementation of the new Fair Consideration Framework (FCF) rules which will take effect on 1 August 2014.
Under the new rules, companies must advertise job vacancies on a new jobs bank administered by the Singapore Workforce Development Agency (WDA) for at least 14 calendar days before submitting new EP applications.
Firms with 25 or fewer employees, and those jobs that pay a fixed monthly salary of $12,000 and above, will be exempted from the advertising requirement.
Double taxation treaties
Singapore has entered into double taxation treaties with more than 60 countries to mitigate double taxation and allow cooperation between Singapore and overseas tax authorities in enforcing their respective tax laws.
Permanent establishment implications
There is the potential that a permanent establishment (PE) could be created as a result of frequent business travel, but this would generally be dependent on the type of services performed and the level of authority the employee has.
Indirect taxes
Goods and service tax (GST) is currently applicable at 7 percent on domestic consumption. GST is levied on the sale of goods and services in Singapore by GST-registered traders and on goods imported into Singapore. Businesses whose turnover exceeds SGD1 million are required to register for GST.
Transfer pricing
While there is no specific legislation covering transfer pricing in Singapore, the IRAS has issued transfer pricing guidelines that should be applied.
A transfer pricing implication could arise to the extent that the employee is being paid by an entity in one jurisdiction but performing services for the benefit of the entity in another jurisdiction, in other words, a cross-border benefit is being provided.
This would also be dependent on the nature and complexity of the services performed.
Local data privacy requirements
Singapore has data privacy laws.
Exchange control
Singapore does not currently impose exchange controls.
Non-deductible costs for assignees
Non-deductible costs incurred by employers relating to assignees generally include private passenger car expenses and medical expenses exceeding a certain cap.

[Verse 2: Lil Herb]
from Nicki Minaj (Ft. Lil Herb) – Chi-Raq Lyrics on Genius
In this interview with Complex Herbo answered a few questions about working with Nicki:
How long did it take to do your verse?
We was actually in the studio together the whole day. But to record it probably took a few hours. To finish it, write it, make sure it was all good. Have it perfect? Maybe three hours, four hours tops.
How did she first reach out to you?
She reached out to me on my own. SB [Safaree], he called. Her assistant. It just went from there. We didn't know how serious it was at first until—they tried to fly us out the same day they spoke with us.
In this verse Herbo raps about life in Chi-Raq, something he is very familiar with.

Saturday, June 19, 2010
© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
LAWRENCEVILLE — While one Atlanta Braves pitcher was continuing his rehabilitation assignment in Gwinnett on the way back from a hamstring injury Saturday night, another will begin one in today's series finale with Syracuse.Relief pitcher Takashi Saito is scheduled to start for the G-Braves in today's 2:05 p.m. game with the Chiefs and pitch the first inning or 25 pitches in preparation for his return to the major league club. If all goes as planned it will likely be the only rehab outing for Saito, who has never pitched in the minor leagues since coming to the United States in 2006 and is eligible to return to Atlanta from the disabled list as early as Tuesday. Lucky number While some may consider No. 7 a lucky number, don't tell that to G-Braves infielder Joe Thurston. "Not for me, it's not," Thurston said following the G-Braves' doubleheader with the Syracuse Chiefs on Friday. "I just needed to change my luck." So, the 5-foot-11, 210-pounder decided to try to do so by changing his uniform number from No. 7 to No. 10. It seems to be working. Despite going 1-for-10 in the Syracuse series heading into Saturday night's game, Thurston, who was hitting a mere .219 when he made the change June 1, has 16 hits in his last 56 at bats ( a .287 clip) to raise his average to .237, to go along with six home runs (tied with Freddie Freeman for second on the team behind Mitch Jones' 11) and a team-best 33 RBIs. Try this again Prior to Saturday's game, the G-Braves announced a make-up date for the game with the Durham Bulls that was postponed last Tuesday. The two teams will now play a doubleheader consisting of two seven-inning games on Durham's next trip to Coolray Field, specifically on Aug. 14. First-pitch for the opener is scheduled for 6:05 p.m. Lending a helping hand The G-Braves are doing their part to help with the cleanup efforts from the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. The team dedicated proceeds from its "Tennis Toss" promotion which go to help the cleanup efforts. The G-Braves' front office and the players' wives and girlfriends are also working with a non-profit group called "Matter of Trust" in contacting local hair salons for hair donations to help with oil spill relief. Thrifty Thursdays All of the G-Braves' remaining Thursday home games have now been designated as a "$3 Thursday." Each of those Thursday games, there will be a designated concession stand that will sell sandwiches, snacks, soft drinks and beer for $3.

The Cleveland Indians today announced the club has claimed RHP Rick Vandenhurk off waivers from the Toronto Blue Jays. He will report to Major League camp in the coming days. To make room on the Tribe's 40-man roster LHP Kelvin De La Cruz has been designated for assignment.
VandenHurk, 26, has pitched in parts of five major league seasons with Florida (2007-10) and Baltimore (2010-11), going 8-10 with a 5.97 ERA (120 ER/181.0 IP) in 46 games/35 starts. A native of the Netherlands, VandenHurk spent most of 2011 with Triple-A Norfolk (Baltimore), going 9-13, 4.43 (76 ER/154.1 IP) over 26 games/starts for the Tides, and also pitched in 4 games as a September call-up for the Orioles.
He was signed to a Major League contract by Toronto on Feb. 22 after being granted his unconditional release from Baltimore earlier in the month. The 6-foot-5, 215-pound right-hander has a career minor league record of 37-38 with a 3.86 ERA (268 ER/624.2 IP) in 124 games/123 starts. VanderHurk came to the United States as a catcher at the age of 16 and was signed by Florida as a pitcher in November 2002. He will wear #25.

Autumn Statement 2012: Everything small businesses need to know
In the 2012 Autumn Statement, the chancellor announced some positive measures to help small businesses, although many entrepreneurs believe he could have done more. The statement has therefore received a mixed reaction from small business owners.
- The extension of the Small Business Rate Relief scheme for a further year from 1 April 2013, enabling 350,000 small firms to pay no business rates during this time
- Confirmation of £1bn in funding for the new Business Bank to boost lending to small companies
- An increase in the annual budget of UK Trade & Investment by £70m, to deliver services to more small and medium size exporters
- An increase in the Annual Investment Allowance (AIA) from £25,000 to £250,000 for the next two years from January 2013
- The government to devolve a greater proportion of growth-related spending to Local Enterprise Partnerships and create a single funding pot for local areas from April 2015.
- A consultation on allowing investment in SME equity markets such as the Alternative Investment Market (AIM) to be held directly in stocks and shares ISAs, to encourage investment in growing businesses
- Confirmation that the 'shares for rights' scheme will go ahead
- The cancellation of the planned 3% fuel duty increase in January
- Corporation tax to be cut by a further 1% to 21% from April 2014
- UK Export Finance to establish a scheme, which will run until the end of 2015-16, to provide up to £1.5bn of loans to finance smaller export transactions.
- Funding for ultrafast broadband in twelve smaller cities – Brighton and Hove, Cambridge, Coventry, Derby, Oxford, Portsmouth, Salford, York, Newport, Aberdeen, Perth and Derry-Londonderry.

Autumn Statement
I fail to see how a voluntary 'cash basis' system of accounts preparation will deliver the benefits advertised.
An hour or so of accounts clerk preparation time at the most, hardly enough to make micro businesses "flourish and grow".
There will almost certainly be compliance restrictions as well (like with everything that is brought in to help business) so what the Chancellor giveth with one hand - HMRC will try to take away with the other.
The usual nonsense, I am afraid.

27 year old man | Baltimore, MD, USA | Seeking women 24-28 within 25 miles
I am a very passionate person. I try to surround myself with fun-loving people. Life is truly an adventure and I'm looking for someone who can find that adventure everywhere - from the most memorable times to everyday life. "Blah" people are a huge turn off. I can be serious at times but my default setting is sarcasm and jokester. Making people smile and laugh is where I derive a lot of my happiness from - so it's a win-win situation. I consider myself a very lucky person. I went to high school in New York City, I've kayaked in 3 continents and studied for 6 months in New Zealand. My friends and family are very close and supportive. I have an awesome dog and a job that I love. What else could a guy want? I'm pretty genuine and I get very excited about the little things in life - like a favorite song on the radio, getting ridiculous fortunes from fortune cookies, and meeting Vin Diesel in Chinatown in NYC (that one's a long story). I think I'm a very well rounded person with equal parts manly-man, dork, romantic, and intellectual - all thanks to my family and friends. I'm looking for a partner who is intelligent, funny, and kind. Cooking a meal together and staying in and watching a movie is just as good as a night out on the town. I enjoy both and am looking for someone who feels the same way. I'm a pretty romantic guy (chivalry is far from dead) and I'm looking for someone who can truly appreciate that. I know that relationships take work, and want to be with someone who understands that and wants something serious. And if you love dogs, that's just the icing on the cake. :)
Cooking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Travel/Sightseeing , Video games
Basketball, Billiards / Pool, Football, Running, Swimming, Tennis / Racquet sports, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I have Dogs
A labradoodle
Middle of the Road
Locally - The Square in Canton and The Avenue at White Marsh. New York City is my second home. I've also traveled to Italy, Alaska, and the Caribbean. I lived in New Zealand for 6 months in college - love those Kiwis!!!
I am a movie fiend! I love all kinds of movies. My other favorite things would be driving around aimlessly without my GPS, The Foo Fighters, Lean Cuisine Lunches, Cruises, and my classroom. My best friend just got me hooked on The Walking Dead too.
I love to run (I never thought I would say that!) and when I'm not doing that I enjoy watching movies at home or in the theater (Netflix is my jam) or playing video games. Going to a restaurant I've never been to or trying a new dish is also a blast.
Wonder by R.J. Palacio. Absolutely amazing and moving book about a boy with a facial deformity transitioning to public middle school after being home schooled his whole life. Go buy it and read it. Like, now. Trust me.

Alternate ingredients for organic pastured broiler chickens
For small-scale organic farms, pastured broiler chickens may offer valuable contributions in a crop rotation program. Chickens contribute to soil fertility. Farm-produced cereal grains like Naked or Hulless Oats offer valuable supplements to organic poultry diets.
Organic produce growers will often raise non-organic pastured poultry because of the high costs of organic feed. Loyal customers who know their farmer and trust their practices buy these pastured birds rather than seek certified organic birds. [Read more…]
