Jay Z and Solange's Met Gala lift row was over Rihanna, claims explosive unauthorised Beyonce book
Celebrity journalist J. Randy Taraborrelli has written about Beyonce and Jay Z's marriage in the unauthorised biography, Becoming Beyonce, and alleges Solange attacked Jay Z because he wanted to party with Rihanna.
Taraborrelli sensationally claims Jay Z and Beyonce went on a secret break after Beyonce’s fierce work determination “drove a wedge” between them, three years before they wed.
It was during their time apart that Jay allegedly hooked up with his protege Rihanna, who was 17 and signed to his label Def Jam.
FilmMagic
They may not have hooked up but the author claims Beyonce believed the gossip and ended up having trust issues when it came to Jay.
Fast forward to last year’s Met Gala where Solange launched herself at Jay Z while they were leaving the annual event.
“Why can’t you go home?” Solange is reported to have said, according to the New York Daily News.
That prompted the rapper to tell her to mind her own business, according to Taraborrelli, and everyone know what happened next...
Mirror Celeb has contacted reps for Beyonce, Jay Z and Rihanna.

Technical Advisor III: Senior Public Finance Advisor-Vacancy
Global Health Fellows Program
Technical Advisor III: Senior Public Finance Advisor
Office of Health Systems, Bureau for Global Health, United States Agency for International Development
Location: Arlington, VA
Assignment: Two year fellowship
GHFP II-P4-174
The Global Health Fellows Program (**GHFP-II**) is a five year
cooperative agreement implemented and managed by the Public Health
Institute in partnership with Global Health Corps, GlobeMed, Management
Systems International and PYXERA Global. GHFP-II is supported by the US
Agency for International Development (USAID).
GHFP-II’s goal is to improve the effectiveness of USAID health programs
by addressing the Agency’s immediate and emerging human capacity needs.
The program seeks to accomplish this goal first through the recruitment,
placement and support of diverse health professionals at the junior,
mid and senior levels. These program participants include fellows,
interns, corporate volunteers and Foreign Service National
professionals. The program then provides substantial performance
management and career development support to participants, including
annual work planning assistance, and ensures that professional
development opportunities are available.
Looking to the future, GHFP-II also seeks to establish a pool of
highly-qualified global health professionals that will ensure the
Agency’s ongoing technical leadership and effectiveness. This objective
is supported by an extensive outreach program that brings global health
opportunities and specialized career advice to a diverse range of
interested individuals, with a particular focus on those
underrepresented in the field of global health.
BACKGROUND:
Meeting the needs of 36 million people living with HIV in the next five
years will exceed current donor commitments. To narrow this gap, USAID
plans to work with countries, tailoring solutions to each country
context through a unique mix of health financing approaches in order to
mobilize their domestic resources while ensuring transparency,
accountability, and impact.
The objective of the Sustainable Financing for HIV/AIDS: Bold Vision Initiative is to deliver an AIDS-free generation with shared financial responsibility with host country governments. PEPFAR
is committing $63.5 million in Phase I to support ongoing country led
efforts in Kenya, Tanzania, and Vietnam, with additional countries under
consideration, to further mobilize their own resources to help deliver
an AIDS-free generation. USAID will serve as the lead agency for
coordinating and implementing this initiative. This centrally-funded
initiative was developed out of collaboration between the Bureau for
Global Health’s (GH) Office of HIV/AIDS (OHA), Office of Health Systems
(OHS), the Center for Accelerating Innovation and Impact (CII), and the
Bureau for Economic Growth, Education and the Environment (E3). Tapping
into this broad range of technical expertise, USAID will partner closely
with select country stakeholders to support new and ongoing health
financing activities that aim to increase domestic resources for the
health sector. USAID will coordinate and collaborate across U.S.
Government (USG) agencies and with multilateral stakeholders in the
design and implementation of this initiative. Solutions tailored to
individual country contexts will involve health financing approaches
encompassing advocacy and analysis, technical efficiency, tax policy and
administration, and innovative health financing, including use of the
private sector. The Initiative will support the US President’s Emergency
Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)’s key intervention areas to ensure impact
and efficiency gains, build sustainability and partnerships, and
advance the human rights agenda.
The United Stated Government has made the fight against HIV/AIDS a top
priority, not only for humanitarian reasons, but because the HIV/AIDS
crisis threatens the prosperity, stability and development of nations
around the world. PEPFAR is a USG global initiative to control the
HIV/AIDS pandemic. It is the largest commitment by any nation to combat a
single disease. Over the past decade, the USG has committed more than
$52 billion to bilateral HIV/AIDS programs, the Global Fund to Fight
HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, and bilateral tuberculosis programs.
To achieve an AIDS-free generation, PEPFAR works closely with a variety
of stakeholders including partner countries, multilateral
organizations, civil society, people living with and affected by HIV,
the faith community, and the public and private sectors. USAID has been,
and continues to be, at the forefront of the USG response in the fight
against the HIV/AIDS pandemic since the inception of its international
HIV/AIDS program in 1986.
PEPFAR recognizes that donor resources alone cannot meet the needs of
the 36 million people that will be living with HIV in 2020. As
developing economies grow and begin to more fully realize their economic
potential, unlocking domestic financing for HIV becomes a critical
element of achieving long-term sustainability of the HIV/AIDS response.
Countries are increasingly taking the lead in managing, implementing,
and even financing their national HIV responses. As a result, PEPFAR has
committed funding to support countries to strengthen their ongoing
efforts to increase the use of their own resources to help deliver an
AIDS-free generation.

GHFP II-P4-172
The Global Health Fellows Program (**GHFP-II**) is a five year
cooperative agreement implemented and managed by the Public Health
Institute in partnership with Global Health Corps, GlobeMed, Management
Systems International and PYXERA Global. GHFP-II is supported by the US
Agency for International Development (USAID).
GHFP-II’s goal is to improve the effectiveness of USAID health programs

Agency’s ongoing technical leadership and effectiveness. This objective
is supported by an extensive outreach program that brings global health
opportunities and specialized career advice to a diverse range of
interested individuals, with a particular focus on those
underrepresented in the field of global health.
BACKGROUND:
The Office of Technical Support (Asia/TS) within the Asia Bureau
provides leadership on development issues in the Asia region through
analysis, strategy development, program design, technical assistance,
and information dissemination. It provides this leadership in the areas
of Economics, Agriculture, Population, HIV/AIDS, Health, Nutrition,
Education, Productive sector development, Information technology, Social
sciences, democracy and governance, conflict mitigation, Natural
resources management and environment.
The Office leads the Bureau’s strategic thinking in technical areas,
reviews the performance of Bureau offices and programs, and advises Asia
offices on the appropriate allocation of resources. The Office serves
as the Bureau’s principal point of contact and coordination on all
substantive technical aspects of programs in sectors of assigned
specialization.
- It helps Missions develop new country strategic plans,
- Conducts periodic reviews of Mission program performance, and
- Provides technical oversight of Mission programs.
Asia/TS makes recommendations for allocating Bureau resources among
missions and prioritizes sector programs throughout the region. Within
the Office of Technical Support, the Health Team is responsible for
providing technical input on all health related programs and matters in
the region.
The Health Team provides technical leadership and support to 17 USAID
field teams across the region in implementing evidence-based
interventions proven to save lives and reduce disease burden. While the
scope of work covers traditional health sectors such as family planning,
maternal and child health, infectious disease, nutrition, and health
systems, we are also invested in navigating and managing complex
adaptive systems, which better reflect the dynamism of Asia. The Health
Team engages in cutting-edge programs that address gaps and unfinished
agendas in health across Asia. Some areas of interest include:
- Unacceptably high rates of neonatal and maternal mortality, along with persistent malnutrition and high levels of stunting, inconsistent with economic growth;
- Implementation research studies on Universal Health Coverage in Indonesia and Burma. These efforts will provide policy makers and managers rapid cycles of information to strengthen countries’ paths to achieving Universal Health Coverage and provide lessons learned for other countries in Asia pursuing sustainable health financing schemes;
- Leveraging the use of private sector funds and stewardship of care provided in the private sector to support the continuation of health sector activities in Kazakhstan and channel the robust private sector in India to help end preventable child and maternal deaths;
- Ensuring that programs in middle-income countries are gradually phased out of receiving USAID funding using non-disruptive, sustainable practices which do not upend the gains made to date;
- Political Economy Analysis as a tool to deepen contextual understanding of health problems and to illuminate different possible solutions;
- Urbanization and health with application of USAID’s 2012 Urban Strategy in the health sector;
- The Global Health Security Agenda and the emergence of novel infections and drug-resistant strains of tuberculosis and malaria; and
- Attending to equity in monitoring and planning health programs, going below the surface of national and sub-national indicators.
In addition to supporting Global Health priorities, the Asia Bureau
provides technical assistance to countries that have not been designated
as priority countries for the Global Health Bureau programming
purposes, as is the case of work currently planned in Laos and Timor
Leste with Asia Bureau funds. One of the policies of the Health Team is
to look at strategic future programming and to design research and
interventions that will enable missions to keep abreast of and manage
technical changes in the field. Included in this approach is consistent
collaboration with colleagues in the Economic Growth sector, as well as
Democracy Rights Governance. The Team also works closely with the Lab
and the Global Health Bureau, as well as DCHA. Going forward, the
expectation is to develop closer relationships with Bureau for Policy
Planning and Learning and Bureau for Economic Growth, Education and
Environment, key players in innovation and financing. We have added an
urban component to our programming, adapting the Agency’s 2012 Urban
Strategy and the Policy, Planning, and Learning Bureau’s current
implementation guide for urban programming due to the recent significant
urban growth in the region and potential inequities among residents of
urban slums as an area of concern. The Team also works with interagency
partners, such as the Department of Defense and Department of State, to
support civilian-military partnerships, particularly when it comes to
Global Health Security.
INTRODUCTION:
To leverage Asia’s significant economic growth to further support
improved health, the Team is reviewing ways to capture that growth in
public-private partnerships. The Bureau is actively engaged in helping
missions look at domestic resource mobilization and health financing
initiatives that capitalize on the existing Asian capacity for
innovation and risk taking. To this end, the Team is seeking a Senior
Health Systems Advisor (Senior Advisor), who while fluent in the basic
technical health areas of the Agency, is creative and willing to explore
and advise on new ways of doing development and prepare officers in the
field to capitalize on their changing economic context.
S/he will be an integral part of a six person Health Team and receive
day-to-day guidance from the Health Team Lead as his/her onsite manager.
ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

- Organizing opportunities with other operating units such as The Lab and Center for Innovation to learn how the Team may implement new ways of doing business within Agency policy;
- Providing strategic thinking support to missions that includes analyses focused on Political Economy and sustainability; and
- Serving as an activity manager on discrete programs being implemented by our implementing partners.

- Tracking new areas of development that can contribute to keeping the programming and portfolio on the cutting edge of development, bring up creative ideas for the team to explore doing business differently.

Mkuu wa Volkswagen ajiuzulu kufuatia ufichuzi
Afisa Mkuu Mtendaji wa kampuni ya
kuunda magari ya Volkswagen Martin Winterkorn amejiuzulu baada ya habari
kutokea kuwa magari ya kampuni hiyo yalikuwa yamefanyiwa ukarabati
kuyawezesha kukwepa ukaguzi wa utoaji wa gesi hatari kwa mazingira
nchini Marekani.
 |
| Afisa mkuu huyo wa Winterkorn alikuwa awali ameomba radhi |
"Naomba msamaha mimi binafsi kwamba tumevunja heshima kwa wateja wetu na umma kwa jumla," alisema Winterkorn.
Hisa za kampuni hiyo zilishuka kwa asilimia 18 baada ya kufichuka kwa habari hizo.
Kampuni hiyo ya magari kutoka Ujerumani ilishinikizwa kurudisha magari yake nusu milioni siku ya ijumaa.
Shirika la kuhifadhi mazingira Marekani lilipata kifaa hicho katika magari ya Audi A3,VW jetta, Beetle, Golf na yale ya aina ya Passat.
Mbali na kuyarejesha magari hayo kwa ukarabati, kampuni hiyo pia itakabiliwa na faini za mabilioni ya madola na viongozi wake huenda wakashtakiwa.
Shirika hilo la mazingira linasema kila gari ambalo halikuzingatia sheria ya hewa safi itapigwa faini ya dola 37,500.
Inakadiriwa kuwa magari 482,000 yameuzwa na kamapuni hiyo tangu mwaka 2008 na huenda faini hizo zikafika dola bilioni 18.
