A spokesperson said another ferry would make an extra return sailing tomorrow carrying freight and rail cargo.
She said the cancellation was not in any way due to the Aratere's condition or ability.
Step 1Combine the sugar and cinnamon in a small dish and set aside.
Step 1Place a rack in the center of the oven; heat the oven to 375 degrees. Line 12 muffin cups with paper or spray with cooking spray. Set aside.
Step 2Whisk together the sugar, oil, buttermilk, egg, egg whites and vanilla in a large bowl until smooth.
Step 3Place the strawberries and rhubarb in another bowl with 1/2 cup of flour. Use your hands to toss until the fruit is well-coated. Add the remaining flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt to the egg mixture. Use a wooden spoon to combine, then add the fruit mixture. Mix well.
Step 4Put 1/4 teaspoon of Cinnamon Sugar in each muffin cup. Spread (or shake the pan) until the bottoms of the cups are evenly coated. Spoon about 1/4 cup of batter into each cup. Drizzle 1/2 teaspoon of butter over each; sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon Sugar over each.

Strawberries and rhubarb make a perfect spring pairing. The combination enhances their respective flavors; strawberries taste more interesting and rhubarb far less harsh and acerbic.
Here, I've used them in a simple strawberry-rhubarb compote, which would go well on sugared strawberries or ice cream. It could also serve as the basis of a fool, the old-fashioned English dessert made from fruit puree and whipped cream. The same flavor combination appears in a strawberry-rhubarb brown sugar crisp and strawberry-rhubarb muffins, which make a good wake-up call in the morning.
Both strawberries and rhubarb are highly perishable; they store well for just a few days in the refrigerator. Choose red, unblemished strawberries and crisp, brightly colored stalks of rhubarb. To refrigerate, arrange strawberries on a paper towel-lined pan, but wrap rhubarb in an airtight plastic bag. Wash strawberries and rhubarb just before using.
Liam Young is just 2 years old, but what started as a battle with the flu has evolved into a medical mystery that’s cost him his fingers and toes.
In October, Liam was taken to Dubuque-Finley hospital in Iowa for flu symptoms, but as his condition quickly deteriorated, he was transported to University of Iowa Children's Hospital. Physicians there told Liam’s family that his immune system didn’t know how to react to the virus, so it started attacking his body instead, KWWL reported.
Friends have started a crowd funding campaign to alleviate some of the financial burden facing the Young family and so far they’ve raised $6,140 of their $7,500.

Question: Everyone's favorite productivity tip is to simply focus. But when you have no choice, what is your best tip for multitasking smarter?
"I recommend deciding which tasks you're going to complete each day and then wearing a watch that beeps every hour to help you keep track of passing time. It's easy for us to get caught up in the details of a task and spend too much time on it, so staying conscious of how much time you're spending on each task is the key to working faster and being more productive."
"Only have three priorities at once. I am a sophomore in college, so I always write out what I need to do to complete my week. However, I star one thing in each category (work, school, other) that I need to complete first. When I cross that off, I star something else and if I finish a category, I am able to use that star in another category. Write it down!"
"All -- and I do mean all -- of the research currently available shows that multitasking is a productivity killer. Don't do it. The only acceptable time to purposefully multitask is when you're performing activities that don't require your full attention. For example, you can respond to emails while listening to music or take a non-critical call while walking or driving. "
"I'm often amazed at how much more I can get done when I don't multitask. If I'm going to go on social media, then I will just go and enjoy myself and not pretend that I'm doing other work. If I'm writing, I shut down all other distractions. The same goes for checking email, phone calls -- you name it. Keep your focus lasered, and see how much faster you close the loop."
"One of the main ways that folks multitask is by balancing email responses with other projects, but the biggest distractions are new incoming emails. Work in an "offline" state so you can multitask across known projects and avoid any new surprises that will just create more work."
"Don't try to handle too much at once. This is when mistakes are made. Instead, prioritize your tasks and make sure you are dedicating enough attention to the most important."
"Everyone sings the praises of multitasking. It's a simple math equation: More tasks can be completed with four hands than with two! To multitask smarter, hire someone to help. This isn't just about delegating one-off tasks. With my executive assistant on my team, I am consistently able to be much more productive and effective. "
"Multitasking is only effective if you're just looking for ways to fill time when you are waiting for something else to finish. Keep a list of short tasks that you can work on while you're waiting, like updating a contact in your address book or sending out a reminder email. Try to avoid anything that you can get sucked into (like social media) during these short bits of time."
"While it's ideal to focus on one task at a time, it's simply not realistic for the busy life of an entrepreneur. At my office, my dual-monitor setup allows me to fly through multiple tasks with countless tabs open. My productivity improved exponentially using dual monitors, and now I couldn't imagine working any other way. "
"Take the time to build a schedule that avoids the need (as much as possible) to multitask. Generally with multitasking, you end up being less efficient. I diligently keep a running to-do list and a running follow-up list, and then I prioritize my time based on those lists. It is also important to give yourself a small break between tasks to keep your focus and energy level high all day long."
Is a Payroll Tax Holiday a Good Idea?
That's the question of the day, now that a new article in the Washington Post indicates that the government is considering a package of business tax breaks to stimulate jobs ahead of the mid-terms, including a payroll tax holiday.
1) Practically, this isn't going to do anything before the mid-terms. These sorts of changes take time to roll out, and there's no way they could get anything into effect soon enough to make an actual difference in peoples' lives.
2) Whether you think this works as a campaign tactic depends on whether you think people will think that it is going to work. On that question, I have no idea. People do love cash in their pockets, however.
3) Politically, this has one major drawback: it's going to put huge holes in the Social Security and Medicare trust funds. Since I think those trust funds are meaningless accounting devices, I don't think this has any practical relevance. But as you will be able to see in my comment section about twenty minutes after I hit "post," people have a very deep emotional attachment to the idea of the trust funds, which politicians cannot easily trifle with.
4) Practically, I think the actual impact will be minimal, at least on employment. It might help people and companies to rebuild their balance sheets (or let struggling companies ride things out a while longer). But the main constraint on business hiring is uncertainty, and a payroll tax isn't going to change that. Obviously, some workers will get hired at the margin--but if your labor is so marginal that you need a payroll tax holiday to make it economical, then I'd expect that as soon as the payroll tax holiday is over, you'll probably be fired. Hence, even if you get the job, you're going to want to save as much of your wages as possible, blunting the multiplier effect we hope to get out of stimulus.

The Kraft snack food empire just got even more monolithic, finally succeeding in its bid to take over British chocolate giant Cadbury in a £11.9bn (about AU$21bn) takeover deal. The Guardian has a taste of how the deal went down.
Health experts have lined up to pillory the KFC Double Down for encouraging irresponsible eating. But it also marks the latest in a string of ads that try to appeal to masculinity.
It's now seemingly likely that British company Cadbury will be taken over by Kraft, or as one Cadbury family member calls them "an American plastic cheese company". Will family bickering ruin the deal?
Will Cadbury’s chocolate stay Fairtrade?
Food giant Kraft has swallowed up Cadbury, but will it honour the chocolatier's commitment to only using Fairtrade cocoa beans for its Dairy Milk and Black & Gold brands?

The Milky Way’s closest-held secrets may soon come to light, when the scientists behind the European Space Agency’s Gaia spacecraft release the mission’s second batch of data on April 25. Designed to create the best-ever three-dimensional map of our galaxy, Gaia is poised to deepen our appreciation not only of the Milky Way but also of its most mysterious denizens: brown dwarfs, strange objects that lie uncomfortably between astronomers’ standard definitions of stars and gas-giant planets.
By more precisely mapping the movements of more than a billion stars as they travel through the galaxy, the Gaia telescope will allow astronomers to tease out the presence of the stars’ smaller, dimmer companions that cannot yet be directly seen. Eventually, the mission should yield millions of these nonstellar objects around the stars it surveys—and help determine if they should be classified as brown dwarfs or planets. “The sample of brown dwarfs that Gaia may find will really be a potential revolution for this field,” says Gaia team member Alessandro Sozzetti, an astronomer at the Turin Astrophysical Observatory in Italy.
Often called “failed stars,” brown dwarfs are not quite massive enough to shine as ordinary stars do by “burning” hydrogen via fusion reactions in their cores. But they are not just oversize planets, either. Unlike gassy worlds such as Jupiter, brown dwarfs are heavy enough to faintly shine by burning deuterium, a stable chemical form of hydrogen. “Brown dwarfs are fascinating missing links,” says Jackie Faherty, a brown dwarf researcher at the American Museum of Natural History who is unaffiliated with the Gaia mission.
Precisely because they reside in the hazy midpoint between stars and planets, brown dwarfs can serve as crucial data points for reaching a deeper understanding of other worlds. They are relatively similar to hot Jupiters, gas-giant planets with bloated, scorched atmospheres from their hours- to days-long orbits around their parent stars. Such planets are, in essence, being cooked from the outside-in. Brown dwarfs, on the other hand, are heated from the inside-out, using deuterium fusion to reach similar temperatures and atmospheric chemistry. And they are far easier to study than hot Jupiters, often floating far from their companion stars or even alone in space rather than hovering like the latter in the overpowering glare of a stellar inferno.
The official classification of a brown dwarf depends on its mass, and dates to calculations first performed in the 1960s. Once an object exceeds 80 Jupiter masses, so the estimate goes, it should ignite as a star because of hydrogen fusion in its core. Meanwhile any object less than 13 Jupiter masses should fail to trigger deuterium fusion and thus would be a planet. Anything between those bounds, then, should be a brown dwarf.
Calculating the mass of a star, planet or anything in-between depends on several measurements, including determining the tilt of its orbit with respect to our view from Earth. In all but the rarest of circumstances such measurements remain relatively imprecise, leaving many brown dwarfs with uncertain masses that overlap the dividing lines between star and planet.
The clearest illustration of the resulting confusion may be HD 114762 b, an object announced as a brown dwarf in 1989 by Harvard–Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics astronomer David Latham and several colleagues. When Latham and his co-workers first identified it, astronomers had yet to discover either brown dwarfs or planets around other stars. HD 114762 b was, at the time, a lone oddball that defied easy categorization. The object weighed in at approximately 13 Jupiter masses, as far as Latham could tell, and boasted a close-in orbit much like Mercury’s in our own solar system. Had it been discovered today rather than nearly 20 years ago, it would probably be called a hot Jupiter. But at a time when scientists were expecting no giant planets so close to stars, HD 114762 b’s discoverers decided its unusual characteristics made it more likely to be a theorized brown dwarf than an exoplanet.
In hindsight many astronomers today recognize HD 114762 b as a planet. It is even listed as a confirmed world in NASA's official exoplanet catalogue, despite lingering uncertainties about its mass. That classification would make it the first discovered exoplanet, announced three years before the current titleholder, a system of planets discovered in 1992 orbiting a stellar remnant called a pulsar.
HD 114762 b’s parent star happens to be among the billion-plus suns that Gaia now tracks through the Milky Way. With each measurement, the spacecraft improves astronomers’ knowledge of exactly how this star moves in three dimensions around our galaxy, allowing them to disentangle any wiggles and wobbles due to the object’s gravitational pull from the larger, purely stellar motion. With that refined data in-hand, they can then pin down the tilt of the object’s orbit—and tease out its exact mass.
In the meantime Gaia should still reveal a wealth of information about brown dwarfs with its latest release by virtue of simply finding and tracking many more candidates that astronomers worldwide can then focus on for further study.
GOVERNMENT will next year prioritise the restructuring of parastatals in 2015 after failing to do so in the past three years due to bureaucratic issues.
In the 2015 National Budget presentation, Finance minister Patrick Chinamasa said focus will be given on 10 parastatals as part of the implementation of Zimbabwe Agenda for Sustainable Socio-Economic Transformation.
Chinamasa said there was need to have a full appreciation of the current status and challenges that faced by State entities. The situational analysis will help government to make informed restructuring policy decisions.
The parastatals to be restructured include Agricultural and Rural Development Authority, Cold Storage Company, Grain Marketing Board, Air Zimbabwe, Tel One, Civil Aviation Authority of Zimbabwe, National Railways of Zimbabwe, Industrial Development Corporation of Zimbabwe, Zimbabwe National Water Authority and Zimbabwe Power Company.
The country has 78 parastatals and most of them currently do not have fully constituted boards.
Meanwhile, the Public Finance Management Act is being amended to incorporate public enterprises and local authorities.
Most parastatals are loss makers and are severely affected by poor corporate governance, with many others badly performing en resulting in them draining fiscus.
Long overdue indeed, especially for companies like CSC, wonder if there is still anything to restructure coz it may be too litle, too late.!!
Ko iwe ke? Kungobangoti my friend’s mum heeee njani njani…..
“The parastatals to be restructured include Agricultural and Rural Development Authority, Cold Storage Company, Grain Marketing Board, Air Zimbabwe, Tel One, Civil Aviation Authority of Zimbabwe, National Railways of Zimbabwe, Industrial Development Corporation of Zimbabwe, Zimbabwe National Water Authority and Zimbabwe Power Company.” All these non-performing entities have submitted their strategic plans based on results based management principle -I guess in line with Zim-ASSET albatross.
TANGAI ZVENYU NE GMB. HAKUNA FINANCIAL DISPLINE ZVACHOSE. VESE VARIKO HAVAZIWI ZEKUITA NE MARI. RESTUCTURING IS NEEDED CHOPU CHOPU.
Why do we need so many parastatals? Air Zimbabwe and Tel One would surely be managed better in the private sector. Parastatals were created by Rhodesia to maximise the use of local resources when the country was under sanctions for denying the population majority rule. They have no place in a modern, free-market economy, and should have been disbanded or sold off decades ago. China is the only country in the modern world that has made them work, but that is an exception, and even then, many are majority-owned by the government, with significant investment (and scrutiny) brought in by the private sector. The only plausible restructure is sell off anything that isn’t essential to keep. Keep the railway network and the aviation authority, but let private players operate the trains and planes (just like we do with the roads).
kana kuZESA KUNODAWO kubvisa vakaendesa mari kwamai Mujru.
50% of these parastatals are not needed. GMB and CSC must be disbanded. Harare, Bulawayo, Gwelu, and Mutale must get back their Electricity Departments which Kangai nationalised in 1986. ZINWA must go. Zimbabwe Power Company must be privatised so that investors can come and build power stations. There is no railway infrastructure to talk about, Zanu destroyed all.
statement,how can you fail to see that failure of parastatals is only a reflection of government policy?
Same talk for the past 34yrs no implementation at all i jst hope the so called bornfrees will take you seriously.
Coach’s launch of several initiatives to help the struggling handbag maker turn itself around is facing a lot of skepticism both on Wall Street and on Twitter.
In J.C. Penney’s /quotes/zigman/237947/delayed /quotes/nls/jcp JCP latest annual report, gone are references to becoming “America’s favorite store”. Its “Fair and Square” low everyday prices and jcp.com website descriptions have also been scratched. Replacing them are a return to promotional pricing and the resurrection of its old Jcpenney.com website.
But that’s not all. The company has also overhauled its list of risk factors. Following Target’s /quotes/zigman/253872/delayed /quotes/nls/tgt TGT big data breach, Penney has joined other retailers flagging data security as a major new risk factor.
Yes, said Citigroup analyst Oliver Chen, who upgraded the stock to buy from neutral on Tuesday and raised his price target to $11 from $7.50. The move sent Penney shares up 6.2% to $8.94 in early trading with already 11.5 million shares trading hands 20 minutes into the trading.
PAUL LAMBERT says he couldn’t care less that he wasn’t Stoke’s first choice to be their new boss.
The 48-year-old has been called in to rescue Stoke from relegation but only after botched attempts to get Martin O’Neill and Quique Sanchez Flores.
Derby boss Gary Rowett was also someone Stoke’s owners had fluttered their eyelashes at before their shock move for Lambert.
The former Aston Villa, Norwich and Wolves boss has signed a two-and-a-half year deal with a seven figure bonus due if he can secure their top flight status.
He knows he wasn’t top of their list - or anywhere near it - but insists he won’t be losing a minute’s sleep after landing what he sees as a dream job.
“Whether I was 15th choice or 50th choice doesn’t matter to me one bit,” he said.
WHICH Premier League club has the best chances of relegating at the end of the season?
“I’m just delighted to be here and I’m really excited. I thought I might not get another chance in the Premier League.
“I’m 100 per cent sure we’ve got more than enough here to stay up. There’s no two ways about it.
Stoke are third from bottom.
But Lambert has never been relegated and says those who question his credentials and appointment should remember he’s always been a scrapper as both a player and manager.
“I have never been spoon fed for my whole career, I have always done it the hard way as a player and a manager. I went to Dortmund for a trial with just a small bag of clothes under my arm.
“I went there for the best part of a week not knowing what my next move was going to be.
