I was like, he is so annoying!': Alicia Keys opens up about her initial dislike for husband Swizz Beatz when they first met... as she poses for ethereal new shoot

They are one of the music world's golden couples, supporting each other through their careers and helping to raise two-year-old son Egypt.
But it seems that things weren't always so rosy between Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz, as the superstar has admitted that she found him 'annoying' when they first met.
Speaking to Marie Claire, the 32-year-old opened up about the couple's long journey to romance, while posing for an ethereal new photo shoot.

'I didn't really like him': Alicia Keys opens up about her initial feelings towards husband Swizz Beatz in the new issue of Marie Claire

Woman on top: Alicia, who poses in a leopard-print gown, is married to the hip hop artist she once found 'ostentatious'

'Honestly, I didn't really like him that much,' she said, talking about when she first met the American hip hop artist while they were both teenagers.
'I though he was ostentatious. He'll drive the fastest, brightest car, wear the biggest jewellery, the loudest jacket; everything with him is really over the top,' she admitted.
'I was like, he is so annoying,' she said, reminiscing about when she saw him drive past a restaurant in a huge white Rolls-Royce Phantom.

Long journey: The couple, who have known each other since they were teenagers, finally went public with their relationship in 2010

But after years of knowing each other, and not quite managing to work together, the pair found themselves in the studio, and a relationship soon followed.

The full interview with Alicia Keys is in the July issue of Maria Claire magazine

'I fought tooth and nail,' she said, admitting that she originally didn't want to work with him. 'Finally though, we did it and we had a ball.'
'I think we've taught each other a lot,' she said. 'He's taught me how to live more fully and I've taught him how to live more deeply.'
The singer also admitted that she struggled with the negative attitudes of people close to her during her rise to fame.
'There might have been people in my life who, now, when I look back, I realise were kind of insulting or abusive - verbally or emotionally - or just not supportive,' she said.
Speaking about her beloved two-year-old son, the singer says '[He] never gets grouchy or grumpy. He has a great disposition.'
The Girl On Fire singer poses in a number of show-stopping gowns for the shoot, looking provocative in a sheer grey chiffon piece on the cover.
In another shot she's pictured wearing a floor-length leopard-print dress, cinched in at the waist with a buckled belt, paired with gold stilettos.

HOMA YA UDIWANI JIJI LA ARUSHA YAPANDA (BAVICHA ARUSHA)

JUMANNE, APRILI 23, 2013 05:07 NA ELIYA MBONEA, ARUSHA
MNYUKANO mkali wa kisiasa, unatarajiwa kuibuka tena Juni, mwaka huu, kati ya CCM na CHADEMA, pale vyama hivyo hasimu vitakapokutana kwenye uchaguzi mdogo wa madiwani Jimbo la Arusha Mjini. Tume ya Taifa ya Uchaguzi (NEC), imetangaza Juni 21, mwaka huu, kufanyika chaguzi za marudio kote nchini, ambapo Arusha kata nne zinatarajiwa kutimua vumbi.

Kufanyika kwa uchaguzi huo, kumekuja baada ya CHADEMA kuwatimua madiwani wake, baada ya kwenda kinyume na maelekezo ya Chama.

Akizungumza na MTANZANIA kwa njia ya simu jana, Mwenyekiti wa CHADEMA Wilaya ya Arusha, Efatha Nanyaro, pamoja na kuzungumzia maandalizi ya uchaguzi huo, aliituhumu NEC na Serikali kutoijumuisha Kata ya Sombetini.

Nanyaro ambaye ni Diwani wa Kata ya Levolosi, alisema kipindi ambacho NEC ilikuwa inasita kutangaza uchaguzi huo wao walikuwa wakiendelea na maandalizi.

“Tuna uhakika mkubwa wa kushinda kata zote na hili halina ubishi, mpaka sasa wagombea zaidi ya 55, wamejitokeza kuomba kwa kata zote.

“Hatuna uhaba wa rasilimali watu, tumekuwa tukitoa mafunzo ya uongozi kwa muda mrefu, hawa watu ni wasomi wenye nia ya kuitumikia nchi yao,” alisema Nanyaro.

Alizitaja kata zitakazoshiriki uchaguzi na idadi ya wagombea waliojitokeza kuwa ni Kata ya Kimandolu (15), Elerai (18), Kaloleni (10) na Kata ya Themi (12).

Alipoulizwa wingi wa wagombea hao, kama unaweza kuleta mvutano kwenye uteuzi wa jina moja, Nanyaro alisema suala hilo ni vigumu kutokea kwa sasa.

“Mfumo wetu wa kupata viongozi upo wazi kabisa, ni vugumu kuibua makundi, hatutarajii mgogoro na mapema tunatarajia kuanza mchakato wa mgombea kwa kila kata,” alisema Nanyaro.

Akizungumzia Kata ya Sombetini, ambayo diwani wake, Alfonsi Mawazo aliyekuwa CCM alihamia CHADEMA, alisema Serikali imesita kuijumuisha kata hiyo kutokana na kutambua kuwa ni ngome ya CHADEMA.

“Ile ni ngome ya CHADEMA, hata tusipofanya kampeni tutashinda na CCM, Serikali na NEC, wameogopa kwa sababu wanajua tukiichukua na Sombetini basi Halmashauri itaongozwa na CHADEMA.

“Kauli ya Mawazo hakuandika barua ya kujiuzulu haina mashiko, hata kama hakuandika barua, ana zaidi ya vikao vitatu hajahudhuria, hicho tu ni kigezo tosha cha kumfukuzisha udiwani,” alisema Nanyaro.

Katika uchaguzi wa hivi karibuni, CHADEMA kilifanikiwa kunyakua kata nyingine iliyokuwa ikiongozwa na CCM ya Daraja Mbili, baada ya diwani wake kufariki dunia mwaka jana.

Like diamonds in the sky': Chris Brown nuzzles into Rihanna as pop star shares intimate pictures of her 25th birthday bash

By Jade Watkins

PUBLISHED: 19:04 GMT, 21 February 2013

They were spotted enjoying a romantic stroll during her 25th birthday celebrations in Hawaii earlier in the day.
And as Rihanna blew out the candles on her cake at a party later in the evening, her on/off boyfriend Chris Brown was once again right by her side.
In intimate snaps the pop star shared on her Instagram account on Wednesday, the rapper is seen nuzzling into the singer's neck as the Loud star wraps her arms around him.

Her birthday wish came true: Chris Brown nuzzles into Rihanna's neck in a romantic snap the singer shared on her Instagram account on Wednesday

Dressed in a revealing white cut-out dress, Rihanna's huge smile says it all.
She simply captioned the snap: 'Like #diamonds in the sky', the lyrics from her recent hit song.
In another more cheeky snap, captioned '#birthdaybehavior', Brown is seen with his hands around her waist, resting his face on her arm as Rihanna pulls a sultry pose.

Staying close: Rihanna wraps her arm around her on/off boyfriend as they share a moment at her party

The party, which appears to have been held in a private room at the couple's Hawaiian hotel, seems to have got quite rowdy with Rihanna ending up with cake all over her face.
The dessert in question was, of course, decorated with gold marijuana leaves, a nod to her love for the green leaf.
Rihanna posted a snap of the two-tiered creation which was also frosted in Rastafarian colours.

Rasta-themed: The dessert in question was of course, decorated with gold marijuana leaves, a nod to her love for the green leaf

It seems that Brown also splashed out on an extravagant gift for the star, as Rihanna, otherwise known on the social networking site as 'Badgalriri', shared a photograph of her new Goyard designer handbag.
Snapped alongside two traditional Hawaiian Leis, she captioned the image: 'Got the #goyard and getting lei'd at the same damn time.'
Joining Rihanna and Chris at the bash was her younger brother Rorrey, with whom she posed for several pictures with.

Her best pal Melissa Forde and several other friends were also on hand as the group partied at the soiree.
At one point during the evening, Rihanna ran out to the shore of the beach and splashed around in the water surrounded by several of her Rasta-themed balloons.
Rihanna received the birthday gift she probably wanted the most on Wednesday.

A gift from Chris? It seems that Brown also splashed out on an extravagant gift for the star, as Rihanna shared a photograph of her new Goyard designer handbag

She was joined by Brown, 23, for her 25th celebrations and the pair were spotted taking a romantic walk by the water.
But oddly, given the laid back nature of their destination, Rihanna decided to pull a fishnet skirt over her bikini for the tropical stroll.
She looked as though she'd stepped out of a nightclub in the racy ensemble, which was wildly inappropriate for the locale, and Brown couldn't manage to keep his shorts up.

No missing this pair! Chris held hands with Rihanna as they enjoyed the Hawaii sunshine on Wednesday

Brown pulled her along the shore before the couple sat together to take in the view and perhaps whisper sweet nothings.
It's just another sign of how seriously the pair seem to be taking their reconciliation.
And another relationship seems to be on the mend as Katy Perry Tweeted an effusive message to her friend after seeming to ignore her at the Grammys.

Holding him close: Rihanna was pleased to see her beau, and wrapped her arm around him

She wrote: 'HAPPIEST 25TH BIRTHDAY to my baby girl @rihanna! I wish I could b there drinking Mai-Tais & telling haters to eat a d*ck w/u!'
Rihanna just debuted her first clothes range at London Fashion Week.
While Rihanna had spent last weekend working in the British capital, Brown was in Houston where he headlined the NBA All Star weekend.

Reunited: Rihanna and Chris were reunited earlier this week in Hawaii

Also in Houston was his ex-girlfriend Karreuche Tran, who was spotted partying at a different nightclub to the rapper.
While they were not photographed together, Karreuche raised eyebrows when she tweeted a picture of an ornate ceiling on Saturday with the caption 'Gnight'.
The picture was reported to be of the inside of a mansion hired by Brown for himself and a group of friends for the holiday weekend.
Karreuche soon deleted the picture, but not before it had sparked speculation that she was staying with her ex.
Rihanna and Brown only went public with their reconciliation at this month's Grammys.

Kwa wakazi wa Kibamba, Kwembe, Msigani, Mbezi, Saranga na Kimara ni muhimu wakatambua kwamba nimefuatilia na kujulishwa kwamba palikuwa na tatizo la kupungua kwa uzalishaji wa maji katika chanzo cha Ruvu Juu ambalo limerekebishwa tarehe 12 Februari 2013 hivyo maji yataendelea kupatikana kwa mujibu wa ratiba ya mgawo kama ilivyokuwa awali katika maeneo ambayo yalikuwa yakipata maji tangu mwaka 2012. 

Kwa wateja ambao bado watakuwa na matatizo katika maeneo yao wawasiliane na DAWASCO kupitia namba ya huduma kwa wateja 022 55 00 240 au 0779090904 au info@dawasco.com ili hatua za haraka ziweze kuchukuliwa. 

Kwa wananchi wa Jiji zima la Dar es Salaam ambao maeneo yao yana mabomba yanayojulikana zaidi kama mabomba ya wachina ambayo hayatoi kabisa maji kwa miaka mingi na wale ambao maeneo yao hayana kabisa miundombinu ya mabomba ya maji; hatua za haraka kwa upande wao zinapaswa kutokana na utekelezaji wa hoja binafsi niliyowasilisha bungeni. 

Hali hii inayoendelea hivi sasa ya DAWASA na DAWASCO kushindwa kufanya matengenezo ya mitambo kwa wakati na kushindwa kukabiliana na upungufu wa uzalishaji wa maji kwa ajili ya Jiji la Dar es Salaam kunathibitisha kwamba bunge lilipaswa kujadili hoja binafsi niliyoiwasilisha bungeni. 

Katika maelezo ya hoja pamoja na mambo mengine nilitaka Bunge ambacho ni chombo chenye wajibu wa kuisimamia serikali kwa niaba ya wananchi kurekebisha kasoro zilizopo katika utendaji na uwajibikaji wa Wizara ya Maji na vyombo vinavyohusika na utoaji na udhibiti wa huduma ya maji. 

Ifahamike kuwa majukumu ya utoaji wa huduma ya maji jijini Dar es salaam na baadhi ya maeneo ya Kibaha na Bagamoyo yanafanywa na Mamlaka ya Majisafi na Majitaka (DAWASA) ambayo ni mmiliki, mkodishaji na msimamizi wa utoaji wa huduma ya majisafi na maji taka na ina wajibu wa kupanga na kugharamia utekelezaji wa miradi ya miundombinu, kuiendeleza na kugharamia matengenezo ya dharura na makubwa. 

Mwaka 2005 DAWASA iliingia mkataba wa miaka kumi (10) wa uendeshaji na Shirika la Maji Safi na Maji Taka Dar es Salaam (DAWASCO). Chini ya mkataba huo majumu ya DAWASCO ni kuendesha mitambo, kusimamia usambazaji wa maji na uondoshaji wa maji taka, kuuza maji kwa wateja , kutoa ankara kwa wateja, kukusanya maduhuli, kulipia gharama za uendeshaji, kutekeleza matengenezo makubwa yanayogharamiwa na DAWASA na kutekeleza uunganishaji wa maji kwa wateja wapya kwa kutumia mfuko wa maji. 

Kisheria na kimkataba DAWASA ina wajibu wa kuisimamia DAWASCO iliyoingia nayo mkataba; hata hivyo kwa kuwa yote ni taasisi na mashirika ya umma ambayo bodi zake na watendaji wake wakuu huteuliwa na mamlaka zile zile na kuripoti kwa watu wale wale, hali ambayo ina athari kwenye utendaji na uwajibikaji. 

Wakati umefika sasa wa mkataba huo kati ya DAWASA na DAWASCO kuwekwa wazi kwa umma; kufanyiwa tathmini ya miaka zaidi ya mitano iliyopita ya utekelezaji; kufanyiwa marekebisho kwa ajili ya kipindi kilichobaki na maandalizi kuanza ya mfumo bora unaopaswa kuanza kuandaliwa baada ya kuisha kwa mkataba huo mwaka 2015. 

Izingatiwe kuwa tarehe 10 Februari 2013 niliiwasilisha kwa wananchi na kutoa wiki mbili kwa Waziri wa Maji kujitokeza kwa umma na kutoa majibu aliyokwepa kuyatoa bungeni na iwapo Waziri Prof. Jumanne Maghembe hatatoa maelezo nitaongoza maandamano ya wananchi kwenda Wizarani kuwezesha hatua kuchukuliwa. 

Imetolewa tarehe 15 Februari 2013 na:

Milan falls deeper in love with Mario (and so does his girlfriend) after Balotelli hits 'best form' and his FOURTH goal in three games

Mario Balotelli continued his hot streak for new club AC Milan as he scored his fourth goal in three league games on Friday, one more than he managed in the first half of the 2012-13 season for Manchester City.

The volatile Italian forward has made an instant impact on his return to Milan and he scored yet again with a 78th-minute free-kick at the San Siro in a 2-1 win over Parma.
His girlfriend Fanny Robert Neguesha, a Belgian model, was in the stands to see his curling free-kick and she caught the eye as she made heart shapes with her hands… presumably aimed at Balotelli.

You beauty: Mario Balotelli curls in a 78th-minute free-kick against Parma

Flying start! The Italian scored his fourth goal in three league games for Milan

Why always me? Balotelli celebrates his goal at the San Siro

Embrace: Balotelli celebrates his goal with team-mate Riccardo Montolivo

'I am playing at a consistent level and nearing my best form,' he told Sky Sport Italia.
'I had already missed two free kicks. But I said to him that if I missed his one, he could have a go.'
Milan boss Massimiliano Allegri said: 'Balotelli scored a great free kick. Balotelli this evening suffered many fouls, but, his reaction was good.'
Since Balotelli left the Etihad in January, not a lot has gone right for Manchester City as draws against QPR and Liverpool as well as defeat at Southampton have all but ended their chances of retaining the Premier League crown they won on a dramatic final day last year.
But the controversial striker has made a flying start to his Milan career, which began with fireworks on the day of his arrival.

The tragedy of the babies raised behind bars: Moving portraits of the children of female inmates who grow up in South American jails until the age of four

They've done nothing to earn a prison sentence but the poverty and violence of jail are the first impressions scores of Argentinian children who are born in custody have of life.
A heart-wrenching collection of photographs has captured the South American women raising their children behind bars.

The number of women doing time in Argentina has skyrocketed in the past 20 years, and around a third of all female inmates, who are crammed into small complexes with poor facilities, arrive either pregnant or with young children, whom they are allowed to raise there until the age of four.

Sad life: Four-year-old Milagros, pictured, peers at her mother Valeria Cigara, 28, who is currently in prison awaiting trial for robbery, in Magdalena August 19, 2012

The majority of the prisoners are doing time for drug trafficking, robbery or homicide, but their babies are innocent.

However, for many of them, the prison ends up being on their birth certificate, acting as a reminder of the life they were born into which, in most cases, follows them throughout their lives.

Photographer Carolina Camps shot a selection of women and the children they raised in prison for an eye-opening look at this difficult way of life.

She captured Sandra Valdez with her eight-month-old daughter Nicole at the Unidad prison in Los Hornos, near La Plata in 2007, and revisited the family late last year, in the slum on the outskirts of Buenos Aires where they live now.

Strange existence: Valeria Cigara, 28, left, who is currently in prison awaiting trial for robbery, plays with her four-year-old daughter Milagros in Magdalena, August 19, 2012

Valdez has nine children from three different relationships, and now lives with a fourth partner, receiving subsidies to help feed three of her youngest kids.

Valdez was pregnant with Nicole in 2006 when she was sentenced to two years in prison for selling drugs. She raised Nicole in prison until she was two when they left together.

Another mother, Silvia Rodas, was photographed in 2007 with her four-year-old daughter Anahi inside her cell at the same prison. Rodas was convicted of robbery and attempted homicide at the age of 19 and has since done stints in all the prisons in Buenos Aires province after being moved around due to bad conduct. She ended up in Bahia Blanca, the last prison that would accept her.

Her daughter Anahi was three years old when she was convicted and lived in prison with her until she was five, a year longer than is usually allowed.

The forgotten children, as they have been called, are the only 'possession' permitted to these woman, who in many cases depend on the companionship of their little ones to help them forget where they are.

But the sad start to life the children receive is often the way it continues, as the experience of living in the lock up for years is something many of them find hard to shake.
