Your indoor cooking system needs ventilation to whisk away hazardous fumes and keep your working area free of smoke and grease. Your outdoor cooking system is no different. In fact, some gas grills generate as many as 100,000 Btus. If you put your grill in an uncovered area, where the walls of your home don't block the smoke, you probably won't need extra ventilation. But if you've placed it in an enclosed or semi-enclosed space—such as under a portico or gazebo for shade and protection from rain—you should look into an outdoor ventilation hood. Not only will a ventilation system keep you from setting the roof on fire, it prevents the accidental smoking out of family members, guests and neighbors. "The most overlooked thing in an outdoor kitchen is ventilation, particularly in a covered space," says kitchen and bath designer Martha Kerr, CMKBD, of Neil Kelly Company in Portland, Ore. "When you enclose the space, the smoke can't freely go off into the air." She adds: "Many of these grills can generate up to 80,000 Btus. In essence, if it were totally enclosed, it would require some sort of commercial ventilation system." Designed specifically for outdoor use, these ventilation hoods come in island and wall versions and cost between $1,250 to $3,000, depending on size and power.

Christian Louboutin has been giving fashionistas something to talk about for over two decades. This year, he celebrates his 20th anniversary with much more than candle-laden cake or fine china. His 20th anniversary capsule collection (feted with a visit to NYC's Bergdorf Goodman) and self-titled book offering an inside look into the world of Louboutin debuted earlier this year. But that's not all. Most excitingly—and buzz worthy—has been London's Design Museum retrospective of the designer's past twenty years.
A visit to the retrospective (or Louboutin lover's Mecca as we'd call it) would find a celebration of Louboutin's career from intern to icon. It is a "magical journey of style, glamour, power, femininity and elegance," according to the Design Museum. Glorious displays of lacquered red-sole creations (more than 200 pairs from Louboutin's archives), endless examples of design inspiration, and a three-dimensional holograph of the stiletto siren Dita Von Teese all capture the essence of unforgettable designs. His inspirations are divided into themes from Travel and Architecture to The Showgirl and Entertainment. If there was ever any doubt, we're now totally sure Louboutin's high heels were meant to be showstoppers.

Rob and Kristen Used A Trail in the Woods to Escape the Paparazzi
To escape harassment from fans and the press, on the afternoon of Wednesday, the actors Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart - or, Edward Cullen and Bella Swan their characters in 'Twilight' - had to walk through a trail of Saco Mamanguá, where part of the fourh movie of the series is being filmed. The exit strategy was proposed by the production team due to the presence of boats with photographers in front of the mansion used as set.
It was still day, and because of poor weather and overcast skies, the Director Bill Condon decided to suspend shooting. The presence of paparazzi boats however, made it difficult to leave. As the couple is staying in a neighboring house to the mansion used to film, a producer guided the group by an open trail in the woods, used by locals and tourists.
A resident who, realizing that his ground was used by the team, decided to levy a sort of 'pegádio'. According to one of the residents who followed the negotiations, the woman demanded 2000 real and was attended by the heads production.

Leading a Faculty-Led Study Abroad Program
By leading a program abroad WKU faculty provide students with an opportunity to engage a subject in an international context and experience an environment that transforms them in a way that is not possible on campus.
Faculty-led study abroad has become increasingly popular with WKU students and is a fundamental part of the university's "international reach." More than half of WKU students who study abroad participate in faculty-led programs. This reflects the national trend in which 56% of students study abroad on short-term programs.
In addition to inspiring students, faculty may also develop international connections and explore research opportunities because of their involvement in leading short-term programs abroad.
The Provost/Vice President for Academic Affairs initiated the joint operation of WKU faculty-led study abroad programs in December 2011. Under the mandate, the Chief International Office (CIO) would retain overall supervision of the Office of Study Abroad and Global Learning (SAGL), while the Division of Extended Learning and Outreach (DELO) would administer faculty-led study abroad programs (FLSA) cooperatively with faculty program leaders, their departments and colleges.
In response, DELO and the Office of International Programs (OIP) signed a Joint Operating Agreement that set in motion the development of the new faculty-led study abroad model. Study Away and SAGL were tasked to develop and administer the new FLSA model with the goal to increase: the ease of access for faculty, the quantity and quality of programs offered, and the number of students participating annually. SAGL is the primary contact for students, while DELO would work directly with the faculty in implementing FLSA programs.
A new administrative manual is under development, building upon the current Faculty-Led Study Abroad Policy Manual (rev. Oct 2011) and the Study Away Faculty Led/Approved Program Guidelines (rev. Dec 2011) and is grounded in WKU policies.
One of the key variables in achieving WKU's international goals is increasing the number of FLSA programs. The purpose of the new administrative model and OIP/DELO partnership is to make the process of creating an FLSA program more accessible and transparent to faculty.

Fernando Verdasco Carmona (born 15 November 1983 in Madrid, Spain) is a professional tennis player. He is currently ranked number 22 in the world. Verdasco started playing tennis at four years of age and had a full-time coach when he was eight. As of 2009, Verdasco has been working in Las Vegas with Andre Agassi and his team including Darren Cahill (Agassi's former coach) and Gil Reyes (Agassi's fitness coach). Verdasco has aided Spain in winning two Davis Cup titles, winning the deciding match in both 2008 and 2009. His best performance in a Grand Slam was making the semi-finals of the 2009 Australian Open where he lost to compatriot and eventual champion Rafael Nadal in five sets, in what was the longest match in Australian Open history.
He turned professional in 2001, finishing as world number 464. 2002 was a good year for him, as he won his first Futures category title in Spain F1 and was runner-up in Spain F3. He played his second career challenger in Segovia, where he reached the final after beating Belarusian Vladimir Voltchkov in the semifinals. He then reached two additional Challenger semifinals in Kiev and in Eckental, finishing the year in the top 200, at 173. 2002 also finished strongly off the court, as Fernando finished runner-up in a closely contested 'Best Abs in Castilla La Mancha'. He reportedly celebrated by eating a whole leg of ham at christmas.
In 2003, Verdasco played his first Masters Series tournament (Miami Masters). He joined the main draw as a qualifier, and after defeating Karol Kučera and Max Mirnyi, he lost to countryman Carlos Moyà in the third round. After this good performance, he had a poor season on clay, and then he lost in the first round of Wimbledon against Finn Jarkko Nieminen in five sets. Then Verdasco played in Cincinnati, where he lost to Andy Roddick in straight sets. He reached the third round at the U.S. Open, where he lost to Thai Paradorn Srichaphan after defeating countryman Tommy Robredo in the first round and Italian Davide Sanguinetti in the second round.

The Navarre High School Lady Weightlifting team snared another second-place state championship Saturday night, following an intense competition in Kissemee.
This is the third year in a row the team has ranked second in the state, nipping at the heals of a team from Spruce Creek, which has held the state title for the past eight years.
The Lady Raiders' issue this year was a lack of first-place nods. Three weightlifters came in second-place: Amanda Friar, Skye Barberi, and Jasmin Anderson.
However, the team won more medals this year than they have in years' past.

Being back in the US meant I would waste no time finding a plastic surgeon or a laser machine for a "tune up". Ever since my last birthday, I wake up everyday wondering "Is today the day the shit hits the fan? or my ass hits the floor?" Will I look in the mirror and find someone who resembled one of my mom's friends? Since I moved to Tokyo, I have not bothered trying to get any aesthetic procedures. Hell, when a mani-pedi can set you back $500, I can't even bring myself to make an appointment for microderm. They probably charge by the grain. BTW, I also bought an at home microdermabrasion machine last week, but I haven't had a chance to use it. I hope it doesn't end up suffering the same fate as my bread machine. I'm a little afraid to use it. Once I get started though, I'm using that sucker everywhere. I'll admit, I love trying anything that offers the hope of attaining better skin. Ever since Chase was born, I have always had at least one friend in my contacts who is a licensed aesthetician or has access to a laser machine. Once you hit your late 30′s-early 40′s it is amazing to see the differences among women. You can really tell who has taken care of themselves and who hasn't. Anyhow, I decided to try the Clear & Brilliant Laser because:
- It is called Clear & Brilliant
- Stronger than microdermabrasion, but not as strong as Fraxel
- It was a Groupon promo
I went in yesterday for my consultation/procedure. I was worried about hyperpigmenting because a few years back, I had my face melted off with another procedure and afterwards I "hyper-pigmented" and it was VERY disconcerting (but obviously not enough to stop future experimentation). According to the doctor & nurse, "The good news is it's melasma (not hyper-pigmentation). The bad news is, it's melasma". Unfortunately there isn't much you can do. I heard, "Let's warm up the laser machine!"
- They have to put LOTS of topical anesthetic on your face to numb the area.
- It's only 1 pass with the laser over your face.
- Takes less than 30 min
The process wasn't painful for the most part. The worst part was the prep. My face felt hot afterwards and looked red, but not "Hellraiser". It felt rubbery from the topical, but the skin looked ruddy. That night I took some Motrin and Benedryl to help with inflammation and itchiness.
Skin is not so red. Don't feel like I have to "hide at home". No burning with sweating. The only difference is the skin feels like fine-grade sandpaper. Tiny bumps. I feel like a crack addict who's fallen off the wagon. I am just so happy. I hope this facial turns into something special. I have scheduled 2 more before I leave for Tokyo. They told me not to expect anything dramatic, but that I would love the texture of my skin once I was finished. Let's face it: If you aren't fighting the battle against time. You will lose.
Until next time…

"In the big city.. Hides a dark secret"
- Johnny Colston
Hello and welcome to your demise and salvation
I'm your master, Hoef and i bring you to a realm of choas and destruction
The forces you call death and life are merely a image in your human mind
But i will save that for another time and give you this..
The Plot in General
The city is big, but the darkness is bigger..
On twelfth of august, in the year 2015 a city has been the center for angelic and demonic activity. New york city was the city that never sleeps and for that it was always booming and brightening even at the dead of night. But deep in the heart of the city lies a race that survives by feedings on humans, they are called the demons. These creatures were banished from hell to only survive in the dark corners of the city, but as these creatures hide in the shadows others stay in the light. This set of creatures are known as angels, said to have fallen from heaven as a result of some kind of mission to clean New York City of all evil and sins.
The two sides declared an all-out blood bath with both sides fighting for different intentions. In the middle of this supernatural war are the humans in which try to get involved with the mishaps that are starting rise throughout the city. The humans were unaware of who was casuing this chaos, but soon figured that it was terrorist and decided to go into a state of emergency. People scramble and soon evac. the city...
Days after the Evac, the army was sent in to take out the terrorist, little did they know they were walking into a war they shall not forget..
Well that was the brief summary of what is going to be happening..
If you don't understand allow me to explain:
You see, this takes place about two years ahead of our time-line. In this time-line we have two forces [Heaven and Hell for short] going at it for two different intentions. One side wants control and the others is extermination, but with it causes tensions and after that conflicts. Later the humans see the destruction unfolding in front of them and decide to stick their noses in. That lead to the humans getting involved, and an all-out blood bath. After that the remaining human survivors escape with thier lives only but to be greeted by military soldiers. They told them that they would be safe. So the Military is taking action with them thinking its terrorist attacking the city when obviously its two forces having a large-scale war. The Angels and Demons both see the Human intrusion in the and decide to attack them with extreme force. AND NOW its three sides with humans involved, with thier attention is to simply survive whatever is going on.
That sums it up!!!
Now time for the actual concept that i'm trying to aim for:
There are different ways to look at this, but i want to see it from all angles. Which is why i'm allowing the mechanic of choosing from all three sides. But each side has to have a weakness, all of them aren't really going to be op.. So with that it comes down to the fight mechanic in all this. Since its about two years in the future i guess high-grade weaponry is avaible along with a added addition of power suits [not like Samus power suits]. For the other sides [Demons and Angels] they can have human weapons too but would prefer magic and hand-held combat weaponry.
Get it some interest!

Loved the people that work at the Red Lion. The entire vibe was positive - which was especially welcome after a bad experience at a Seattle hotel. The... hotel rooms are a bit shabby but very comfortable and clean. The major issue we had with our room was the heat. The windows were very drafty - you could actually feel the wind coming in - but that wouldn't have bothered us so much if the heater had worked properly. It didn't shut off automatically when it reached the set temperature, so we would wake up sweltering, turn it off, and then wake up freezing - that happened several times during the night. Overall though, I liked it there and would go back. por Traveling couple de Shelton, WA em 02/12/2013

Yes, even Eminem is kinda freaked out by her
In barely over a year, Lady Gaga has given us more over-the-top looks and moves than an average pop star can manage in an entire career. With a recent history including everything from vampire fangs to pyrotechnic bras, it's probably a safe bet that this little lady is packing huge ideas for her Monster Ball tour—and isn't overly concerned that her would-be tourmate, Kanye West, cancelled plans to join her on the road. Here's a look back at some of Gaga's most memorably bizarre costumes, performances and publicity stunts.—Tamara Palmer, Special to Metromix

Everyone I'm Laura -- in for Bill O'Reilly thanks for watching us tonight.
Filibuster and movie that is the subject of this evening's talking points memo.
It's been fascinating to see their reaction to senator Rand Paul's filibuster of the John Brennan nomination.
With the prince of all the persuasive argument against the use of drones on American soil he drew support from people across the political spectrum.
From Jon Stewart to Mitch McConnell from the ACLU.
To take -- his filibuster -- for some strange bedfellows.
But of course not everybody was happy in the usual -- stairs on NBC's cable outlet -- their fangs.
Calling -- stance weird and crazy.
But what's surprising is that two GOP senators Lindsey Graham and John McCain launched their own drone strike against Paul.
We've done.
I think.
A disservice to a lot of Americans by making them believe that somehow.
They are in danger from their government they are not I don't think.
That what happened yes today is helpful to the American people but we saw yesterday he's going to give ammunition.
Choose those critics who say that the rules of the senate are being abused.
I hope that my colleagues on this side of the aisle we'll take that into consideration to take this today.
Into the absurd is what -- tape.
Now don't get me wrong they have the right to disagree with Paul and the majority of GOP senators who stood with them.
But give up the filibuster lasted.
-- third.
He of them have the moxie to debate their colleagues face to face on the senate floor.
What are they -- -- up.
Presumably they could have done so either before or after their dinner with the president.
Where they'd tell us that a junior senator dominated the headlines and managed to galvanize left and right.
Are they worried that they're becoming increasingly irrelevant as younger more conservative senators step forward.
To heal -- reenergize and -- GOP base.
Or do they really favor giving pretty much unlimited power to the president.
To order targeted killings as long as we say that we are at war with al-Qaeda.
If it's the latter I think Rand Paul would be happy to have that debate face to face any day of the week.
If anyone is on the French here it's McCain and Graham.
Both -- made a big mistake with their drive by hits on Rand Paul.
It is all but certain that senator Graham will face a serious -- primary challenger in 2014.
And I bet his first campaign commercial we'll go something like this.
I stood with Rand while senator Graham dined with -- Obama and that's the memo.

Take the college student survey to share your opinions about your school and be entered into a $1,000 scholarship!
Reload the page and try again.
B A+F Local Atmosphere: I love being close to a city and Davis is absolutely wonderful. Always something to do for the poor college student.
C A+F Local Atmosphere: Medford and Somerville have little to offer if you're craving constant excitement and activity. It's mostly residential, there's not a lot of stores/restaurants to choose from, and you're constantly surrounded by the same people who go to your school.
B+ A+F Local Atmosphere: Both Medford and Somerville hold a special small-town charm, but the locals are hardly friendly.
A A+F Local Atmosphere: Tufts is less than 5 miles from the city of Boston, you can walk to the T station (or take our shuttle there) and then take the train into boston (takes about 20 minutes). It's great having the city so close, students love to head on into the city to watch shows, plays, movies, watch games etc. Also Boston as a city is beautiful, it's kind of old and vintagey and it has beautiful parks and the Charles river is awesome! Right next to Tufts is Davis Square. Its a 10 minute walk, or 2 minute shuttle ride. It has a really cheap theater, tons of fantastic restaurants, a square right in the middle where people can just chill and eat. It's very artsy, there is a flea market every week and a lot of arts and other festivals happen in Davis during the year. People in the Somerville area are also very sweet and nice.
A- A+F Local Atmosphere: Tufts is in a very peaceful town. But the advantage is that it's not too far from Boston so you get the best of both worlds! You can live in a peaceful place and then take the train or bus into Boston if you want to go into the city. There's so much to do in Boston and even in some of it's surrounding towns. And there are so many schools so connecting with other college students is easy!

Written by Chris Cote
If you are venturing off campus for a night, chances are you'll take the T into Cambridge or Boston—but that doesn't mean that there isn't anything going on in Tufts' hometowns. Whether you pronounce them "Medfuhd and Sumahville" or "Medford and Somerville," Tufts' local areas can be accurately categorized as basic college towns. On the Medford side, you'll find a few local favorite restaurants (Rose's has the best Chinese around, and Sweet Creams is a tasty favorite with custom-made ice cream flavors), but generally, there is more to do in Somerville's Davis Square. Sometimes called "the Paris of Boston," Davis Square is Somerville's "trendy night spot," though what you'll find there is pretty typical of any college town. You'll find students all over the Square, in Diesel playing pool or sipping a latté, in the Somerville Theater watching second-run flicks at affordable prices, and at Denise's/JP Licks where they'll be sampling some of the best ice cream in Boston. Don't forget to grab extra napkins.
Tufts has the advantage of being just a 15-minute T-ride from the center of a city where there is plenty of nightlife, concerts, and shows to entertain the Tufts student body, as well as those of the other 55 Boston-area schools. Although you won't find as many Tufts students in the city as you will in Medford and Somerville, it can make for much better variety in nightlife and activities. Once you've explored the area, you'll find there really is something for every taste in this varied, college-friendly region.

The Literacy Specialist M.A.program is a 32-point program that leads to New York State certification in Teaching Literacy. This program is designed to immerse the literacy educator in an intense study of practice, theory, and research.The eventual goal is to prepare each participant to assume a leadership role in literacy education.
The program regards the teaching of reading and writing as complex undertakings, and strives to equip its students to teach well. Students investigate individual literacy learning, group literacy learning, teacher development,community partnerships, institutional change, and other contemporary and political issues facing literacy education. The program assumes that teachers' own literacy work will be a source of knowledge and inspiration in their teaching. Students write creatively as well as professionally, participate in their own reading clubs, and keep portfolio sof their own reading and writing development.
The TC faculty in literacy have along history of social action with areas of special interest that include curriculum development in reading and writing, school reform, process approaches to reading and writing, content area literacies, ethnographic studies of literacy, designing professional development programs, research on the impact of class, race, and gender on literacy learning, and children's literature. The faculty supports students as they participate in challenging courses, engage in readings, learn from mentorships, and conduct their own action-research projects in which they demonstrate their abilities to synthesize theory and practice and to weave the two throughout their individual work.
Teachers College students in the Literacy Specialist program have the opportunity to work with the Teachers College Reading and Writing Project (TCRWP)—a think-tank and professional development organization that works infield-based ways with more than a thousand schools throughout New York City,the nation, and the world. Students can intern in schools that are Project strongholds and apprentice with mentor teachers,research staff development and school reform. Students also have the option to apply for the role of TCRWP fellows. This role gives access to any of more than 200 full day conferences offered each year.These conferences are led by Project staff and by scores of major literacy leaders from across the nation. For example, Georgia Heard, Katherine Bomer, Maurice Sykes, Smokey Daniels, Pedro Noguera, Dick Allington, Ellin Keene, Kylene Beers, Randy Bomer, David Booth,Roland Barth, Carl Anderson, and Donald Bear are among those who lead conference days every year. You will learn more about this role during registration.
Students who wish to research and improve their own literacy teaching and who want to serve in leadership positions so as to help others do the same will thrive in this program. Students who wish to engage in scholarly work may decide to continue their education through the doctoral level.

This partnership is part of our ongoing commitment to Singapore to offer the best in international sports and entertainment for our guests and for the local population."
UFC, which brings together exponents with backgrounds such as karate, Brazilian jiu-jitsu and wrestling in unarmed combat, will also hold tryouts at MBS on July 25 for its first Ultimate Fighter television series in Asia. The show will be filmed in Shenyang, China later this year.

Singapores Q2 GDP growth strongest in over 2 years, rising 3.7% year-on-year, 15.2% over first quarter
2 hours 6 min ago
SINGAPORE The Republics economy grew an annualised and seasonally adjusted 15.2 per cent in the second quarter from the first, far outstripping expectations as manufacturing staged a strong rebound, according to advance estimates released by the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI) this morning (July 12).
The economy grew 3.7 per cent year-on-year in the second quarter, compared to 0.2 per cent GDP in the preceding quarter.
On a quarter-on-quarter seasonally-adjusted annualised basis, Singapores GDP rose 15.2 per cent in the second quarter over the first.
The manufacturing sector expanded by an annualised and seasonally adjusted 37.6 per cent, turning around from a decline of 12.7 per cent in the first quarter. Services and construction both gained 9.0 per cent during the quarter.
The quarter-on-quarter expansion in GDP was the strongest since the first quarter of 2011, and the sizzling pace was almost double the 8.3 per cent forecast by analysts.
From a year ago, Singapores gross domestic product (GDP) rose 3.7 per cent, improving from the first quarters 0.2 per cent year-on-year expansion and beating the median forecast for a 2.0 per cent expansion.
The sharp rebound (in GDP) largely reflected the strong growth in the output of the biomedical manufacturing and electronics clusters, the Ministry of Trade and Industry said in a statement.
Meanwhile, the construction sector grew by 5.6 per cent on a year-on-year basis, compared to 6.8 per cent in the preceding quarter. On a quarter-on-quarter basis, the sector expanded by an annualised rate of 9.0 per cent, moderating from the 14.3 per cent growth in the previous quarter.
The services producing industries also posted healthy growth, expanding by 5.0 per cent on a year-on-year basis, following the 2.7 per cent growth in the previous quarter.
On a quarter-on-quarter basis, the services producing industries grew by an annualised rate of 9.0 per cent, faster than the 8.1 per cent growth in the preceding quarter.
Growth was primarily supported by a robust recovery in the wholesale and retail trade sector and the transportation & storage sector.
Singapore, whose trade is three times the size of its GDP, has seen a sharp drop in economic growth in the past two years, hurt by weak demand for its exports as well as a global slowdown in investment banking activity.
While the manufacturing sector has turned the corner, economists remain cautious about the outlook, citing the slowdown in China and continued weakness in the European Union which is Singapores largest export market.
The recovery in manufacturing came earlier than expected. We did see a pickup in pharma and some stabilization in electronics, but we had actually penciled in a very marginal contraction in manufacturing in the second quarter because the June PMI for the region and globally are still all over the place, said Overseas-Chinese Banking Corp head of treasury research Selena Ling.
There is still bit of a question mark and we may see some revisions when the final numbers for Q2 come out, she added.
China earlier this week warned of a grim outlook for trade after a surprise fall in June exports. Shipments to the United States, Chinas biggest export market, fell 5.4 per cent in June from a year ago, while exports to the European Union dropped 8.3 per cent.
The MTI will release the preliminary GDP estimates for the second quarter next month, including performance by sectors, sources of growth, inflation, employment and productivity, in its Economic Survey of Singapore report. AGENCIES
More students prefer local university scholarships: Survey
6 hours 47 min ago
SINGAPORE Local university scholarships are becoming more popular among students, according to the annual BrightSparks Scholarship & Career Survey released yesterday.
BrightSparks is a scholarship and higher-education media owned by the JobsCentral Group.
The survey showed that 22.4 per cent of Singapore-Cambridge GCE A-Level and International Baccalaureate (IB) diploma graduates, and final-year polytechnic students voted local university scholarships as their top pick.
This is a five-year high since 2009. The figure was 19.4 per cent last year.
In terms of the ranking of scholarship providers, the National University of Singapore and the Nanyang Technological University continued to hold first and second place among A-Level and IB diploma graduates, according to the survey.
The Singapore Management University made it to the top five scholarship provider rankings by jumping 16 notches to fifth place.
The survey, which polled 3,100 respondents, also found that the most popular industry is still banking and financial services with 39.1 per cent of A-Level, IB diploma graduates and 28 per cent of first and second-year university graduates voting for it.
The hotel and hospitality industry, however, is becoming less attractive to A-Level and IB diploma graduates. The industry was ranked 16th this year, compared to eighth place in 2009.
The survey is aimed at potential scholarship recipients who are A-Level and IB diploma graduates, final-year polytechnic students, and first and second-year undergraduates from local universities.
New exec training programme for Vietnamese officials launched
By Chitra Kumar
POSTED: 11 Jul 2013 7:35 PM
SINGAPORE: The Nanyang Technological University (NTU) and Temasek Foundation, in collaboration with Vietnam's Monitoring Office of Programme 165 (MOP165), will launch a new training programme for senior Vietnamese officials this month.
The new programme is an expansion of the two countries' existing collaboration on executive training programme, and is targeted at Vietnamese government officials as well as the country's leaders of key government agencies and organisations.
The specialised programme will be funded with a grant of S$600,000 from Singapore's Temasek Foundation and co-funding of S$475,000 by the government of Vietnam.
A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was signed on Thursday in Hanoi by the dean of NTU's College of Humanities, Arts & Social Sciences, Professor Alan Chan, and the head of MOP165, Vietnam's Central Committee of Organisation and Personnel, Dr Nguyen Van Du.
MOP165 is the leading national-level institution in Vietnam that is responsible for the training of government leaders and senior officials, focusing on political science and governance issues.
The first batch of participants will include leaders from the Vietnam Women's Union.
The 25 female officials will be in Singapore from 25 August for the two-week training programme focusing on leadership and public policy conducted by NTU's Nanyang Centre for Public Administration.
Singapore and Vietnam celebrate 40 years of diplomatic ties this year.

MOU signing for executive training programme for senior Vietnamese officials
Two former inmates get second chance, graduating with NUS degrees
By Alice Chia
POSTED: 11 Jul 2013 7:23 PM
SINGAPORE: Life offers a second chance as the experience of two men has shown.
Both of them graduated from the National University of Singapore after spending time in prison.
It was a proud moment for the parents of 35-year-old Darren Tan Tho Eng, who will join a law firm as a practice trainee. He received his law degree on Thursday morning.
But he found it tough in his first semester in university.
Darren said: "When I first started school in NUS, it was more of a culture shock. I had a hard time getting used to school life because I spent the last 10 to 12 years of my life in another setting, in prison, and finances were bad. I also had to get used to using technology in the course of school. Also managing my relationship with my peers in school."
Apart from more than a decade in jail, he was also caned for drug and gang-related offences.
Prof Simon Chesterman, Dean of Faculty of Law at NUS, said: "We look at everyone on the basis of their results and their other achievements. And he had good enough results to be interviewed. This was some time ago, but we made, in the end, special provision to interview him. I think one of my colleagues went down to prison to interview him.
"But from our perspective, he had been convicted of an offence, but he was in the process of concluding, serving his time, he paid his debt to society. We don't believe that that should be a barrier to someone to turning over a new leaf, and having an opportunity to pursue an education, which he has clearly demonstrated he's passionate about."
As for 34-year-old So Weng Kei, he completed his studies in prison and graduated with an economics degree.
Weng Kei, who was jailed twice for burglary charges, has since found a job as a marketing executive.
"After lights out, we have this, we call the maintenance zone light. It's not really bright, but it's bright enough for me to read my textbook, so even after lights out, I will still be reading my textbook," he said.
Both men shared their experiences on what kept them going.
"Hope. I know that although a lot of people might not give us a second chance or for my case, a third chance, in life. But I feel that there is still someone out there who will be willing to give us this chance," said Weng Kei.
"I will use my knowledge, to the best of my ability, to ensure that people have access to the law, regardless of how much resources they have, to use my knowledge for the good of others," said Darren.
And their efforts have paid off. They were among some 10,282 graduates from the National University of Singapore this year. Of these, 393 are graduates from the Faculty of Law.

Govt will continue to gather feedback and take into account different aspects during review
By Kok Xing Hui
8 hours 37 min ago
SINGAPORE The review of the healthcare financing framework will take into consideration all views and various aspects to ensure premiums are affordable for the young and old, Health Minister Gan Kim Yong said yesterday, in response to a straw poll by this newspaper which showed overwhelming support among younger Singaporeans to pay higher MediShield premiums in order to reduce the burden on the elderly and themselves eventually.
Its not a binary yes or no. There are many features in the financial review and well need to take into account all different aspects, said Mr Gan, adding that the Government will continue gathering feedback.
He said: This premium issue is just one of them and well also include the coverage, the benefits of the scheme, what kinds of benefits and what costs will be involved, and how can we make sure that the premium will remain affordable for the young, as well as for the old.
Mr Gan was speaking on the sidelines of a National Day Observance Ceremony at Jurong West, where 5,000 residents used flashcards to form a Singapore flag measuring 22m by 33m.
The idea for the young to pay higher premiums for MediShield a national catastrophic insurance scheme primarily for larger in-patient bills had been floated several times over the years. Recently, it was put forward by participants during Our Singapore Conversation discussions and the Government has said that it is considering the suggestion.
Among the 50 young working adults aged 21 to 40 who were surveyed last week by TODAY, three quarters of the respondents said they were willing to pay more, citing the higher earning power of younger workers as a reason, as well as goodwill towards the elderly who have contributed to nation-building. Nevertheless, healthcare financing experts urged caution, noting the difficulty of predicting how healthcare costs could move in the future and that the proposal would stray from the fundamental principle of insurance.
Mr Gan said the outcome of the review will be announced quite soon and the changes will be rolled out progressively.

A Singaporean has for the first time topped the world's largest video game fighting tournament.
Professional gamer Ho Kun Xian, 22, was in a neck-and-neck race with his Japanese rival in the grand finals of Evo Championships 2013 on Monday before walking away with the championship to mark the end of the three-day event in Las Vegas.
Mr Ho won in the game Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition (version 2012). It was one out of nine games - including Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 and Injustice: Gods Among Us - played during the tournament, which attracted 1,600 participants around the world.
Previous years winners were mostly Americans and Japanese, although a Singaporean came in second place - for the first time too - for the game Soulcalibur V in last year's tournament held in Nevada, United States.

The Singapore Changi Airport on Monday unveiled its first themed garden with interactive and immersive elements, located in the North Wing of its Terminal 2 Departure Transit mall.
Named the Enchanted Garden, the 390 sq m garden is situated between rows of airport shops and features more than 50 species of fresh ferns and flowers. When walking through the garden, visitors will step on sensors that trigger sounds of nature, recorded in the Borneo rainforest. They will also see mechanical flowers blooming right before their eyes.
At the centre of the garden is four glass bouquets, decorated with hand-pieced mosaic. Each bouquet holds at least 300 freshly-cut flowers that will be changed seasonally. The garden also features a koi pond.
The new garden is Changi Airport's fifth garden, but its first to offer visitors an interactive, immersive experience with sound and sensor elements. Other gardens include the Orchid Garden at T2 and Butterfly Garden at T3.

CHILDREN are to spend more time learning about money during home economics classes as Singapore grapples with rising costs and household debt.
A new syllabus to be rolled out by the Education Ministry next year will place greater emphasis on teaching secondary school students how to manage their finances.
It will also introduce three elective modules for project work: food science, food entrepreneurship and consumerism.
The change was revealed yesterday by Dr Joyce Mok, a senior lecturer in natural sciences at the National Institute of Education.
"The difference is that we're giving more curriculum time to financial education, and we've introduced elective modules for project work," she said, adding that the new syllabus - entitled Food and Consumer Education - comes in the wake of increasing credit problems and rising costs.
High hopes, but no pressure for sailors

15 July
SINGAPORE The Republics top youth sailors may have swept four titles at the Optimist World Championships for two consecutive years, but there will be no pressure on this years squad to do the same at the world meet, which begins today at the Riva del Garda in Italy.
SingaporeSailing President Ben Tan stressed this yesterday when asked if he was hoping the quintet of Koh Yi Kun, Bertha Han, Loh Jia Yi, Fathin Rasyiqin and Edward Tan would repeat the successes from the 2011 and 2012 World Championships.
In 2011, Singapore won the Overall World Champion title and the Individual Girls World crown through Kimberly Lim in New Zealand. They also clinched the Nations Cup and the World Team Racing title, their best performance at the annual regatta.
Twelve months later, Singapore made it two sweeps in a row as Elisa Yukie Yokoyama captured both the Overall World and Individual Girl titles in the Dominican Republic and combined with her team-mates to take the two team titles.
That was not all Elisa, Samuel Neo and Jessica Goh also took the top three podium spots.
But Tan said: We moved away from setting medal targets a long time ago because it is not productive. We dont want to put such pressures and expectations on young sailors who may not be mature enough to handle them.
Instead, our focus is always on performance. It has been drilled into our sailors that all we expect is that they do their jobs ... Because at the end of the day, how their opponents perform is not within their control.
Nevertheless, he is confident of a good showing in Italy.
Lets put it this way they all know their routines before, during and after their races. The systems and methodologies are the same for any team of Singapore sailors, at any competition, and so far, weve been seeing the results, Tan said, referring to the recent IODA European and North American Championships.
Ryan Teo emerged the open winner at the European meet after posting podium finishes in almost all of his nine races. At the North American championships, Singapore won the Nations Cup, while Samuel Neo finished second overall and Phua Shyn Ee was 10th overall. Gerard Wong

Schooling is top 2014 recruit: website

05 July
SINGAPORE United States-based Singapore swimmer Joseph Schooling is the top recruit of the boys high school class of 2014, according to a ranking by website SwimSwam.
The Bolles School student begins his final year next month but National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) coaches can start making contact with and recruiting swimmers who are high school seniors.
Schoolings team-mate Caeleb Dressel was ranked second on SwimSwams list.
Although the website has no links to the NCAA or the colleges, the rankings still come as a confidence booster for the Singaporean, who set the national 100m butterfly record of 52.33secs at the Arena Grand Prix in Charlotte in May.
Its always a great feeling to be put on a list with so many talented swimmers, said Schooling yesterday. Im privileged to be called the top recruit and this will motivate me to work harder and take my swimming to the next level.
The NCAA, which is based in Indianapolis, is a non-profit body that organises the sports programmes of many colleges and universities in North America, and is affiliated to more than 1,200 institutions, organisations and individuals.
In January, Schooling told TODAY he was interested in training at the University of California in Berkeley under Dave Durden, who has developed Olympic gold medallists Anthony Ervin and Nathan Adrian. But yesterday he stressed: I havent decided which college Ill be attending next year. Im still in the process of selecting which school will fit me best.
Coached by Spains 1988 Olympic bronze medallist Sergio Lopez, Schooling holds the national 200m butterfly record of 1min 56.67secs set at the 2011 SEA Games in Palembang, Indonesia. He also holds the national 50m fly record of 24.06 set at the 2011 SEA Games.
Later this month, he will travel to Barcelona as part of the eight-strong Singapore squad for the FINA World Championship.
