Location was good, hotel was still on going refurbishment. The suites were large in living space but the bathrooms were small. Don't stay here if you want a kitchen , it's sparsely accommodated. The staff were friendly but not overtly informative
Under construction

The hotel is under construction! We stayed in a suite and the room was too dusty! The hotel needs to tell housekeeping to vacuum the mattress and the pillows! Jus tossing and turning stirred up dust and triggered my dust mite allergies! The suit is small! The location is fine, close to all bus lines and right next to waterfront, flyover canada, canada place and 5 minute walk to gas town! Hotel has small check in area! Overall the room was clean except for dust in the mattress! Good black out curtains, no microwave in the suit small mini fridge!

The hotel location was perfect. in between downtown and Gastown, We were able to walk everywhere within a few minutes. Great view of the harbor from our room. Hotel has recently gone through some major renovations and the room, lobby, hallway etc was very modern. Room was very nice size with separate sitting area and 2 huge TVs. Highly recommend....
Good quality & location
Reviewed by Johntravel66(Ely, United Kingdom) on May 07, 2019
Ideally located in the downtown district opposite the harbour centre & revolving restaurant. Just a short walk from the waterfront & local bars, recommend the Steamworks for a good choice of beers & atmosphere. Rooms were a good size & very clean. There were some renovation works underway in the lobby but these did not cause any issues at all. Taxi from the airport cost $35. Overall very good & would use again.
Gorgeous hotel

I stayed at the Delta Suites in March 2019 on a work trip. The room was big, modern, and spotless. I loved it. Staff were very accommodating. I was allowed early check in and late check-out. The house-keeping staff were friendly and helpful. The location was handy. There is great little Vietnamese take-out joint just around the corner with a line-up at lunch time. I would stay here again in a second for work or vacation. One of my favourite hotels.

South Miami
On South Miami's ballot: New City Hall and rule changes for development projects
South Miami is asking voters to consider four measures on the Nov. 8 ballot, including an advisory vote on building a new City Hall and new voting rules for affordable housing and downtown development projects.
The first measure deals with updates to South Miami's charter. South Miami Mayor Philip Stoddard said several parts need to be changed to stay in compliance with state law. Though city law requires a vote, an update is required regardless.
"State law supersedes our charter, so even if this doesn't pass a vote, the charter will still be updated," Stoddard said.
The second measure is a nonbinding referendum on the City Hall building. Updates for police department and library buildings are also being considered. In addition, the measure also includes language about replacing septic tanks with municipal sewage lines. According to the ballot language, the improvements will involve "no cost to the taxpayer."
Commissioner Walter Harris said that though nothing is set in stone, the preliminary plan would be to sell the current building. The cost of the new City Hall would be funded by the sale of the old one.
Stoddard said the current buildings are run down and not comfortable work environments for city employees.
"Our workers currently do not have a good spot to work," he said. "It's a building that is relatively old, small and has run into structural problems such as mold."
Though the adjacent Silva Martin building would be preserved, the current City Hall building would likely be torn down, Stoddard said. The exact location of a new City Hall has yet to be determined.
The police building, he said, would potentially be moved from its current location on Sunset Drive to an area north of the South Miami Metrorail station.
"Our officers often have trouble getting in and out simply because of the traffic in the area so the new building will add relief to that," Stoddard said.
Commissioner Gabriel Edmond, however, stressed that no decision has been made regarding any new buildings, and he still has a lot of questions regarding the funding of the projects.
"I'm skeptical that we even need to sell City Hall," he said. "I don't believe we're ready for that yet."
Finally, the measure asks for voter input on sewage problems in low-elevation areas.
"The last thing I want is for residents to be forced out because of failing septic tanks," said Stoddard, adding improvements would also have an environmental benefit.
The last two measures on the ballot involve loosening requirements for approvals on development and affordable housing. Currently, all five commission members must give their approval for variances to city codes on such proposals, among other items. The measure, if approved, would reduce the necessary vote of approval to four of the five.
"In the past we have had one person vote opposite of the other four commissioners and just one vote can scrap the entire thing," Stoddard said.
The measures are focused on two specific, and separate, areas. The development measure deals with the business district around downtown including the Shops at Sunset Place, while the affordable housing measure deals with the areas near the intersection of Southwest 64th Street and Southwest 59th Place.
Outside of the areas in the ballot measures, development variances will still require a unanimous vote.
The mayor said the city wants to redo Sunset Place, a plan he believes will not happen unless the unanimous-requirement rule is changed.
"We've had projects scrapped and not done because one person voted no and then that person eventually left office," Stoddard said. "And it always ends up being because of a small disagreement or the commissioner feeling they are not getting enough out of it."
Similarly, the mayor said the unanimous rule has blocked needed — and federally required — affordable housing projects.
"Four times we have had the plan for replacing affordable housing blocked by a single vote," Stoddard said.
Most people seem to be on board with each of the four measures, he said.
"We may have one or two people that do not agree, but there really is no organized opposition to any of these measures," Stoddard said.
South Miami's clerk's office confirmed no official opposition has been filed to any measure on the Nov. 8 ballot.

Bengaluru-based online grocery store, Bucketkart has raised $150,000 in its seed round of funding from HNIs. The startup currently serves to 4000+ customers (repetitive customers) and plans for expansion to 2 new cities in the month of October and 3 more cities in the month of November, Archana Pawar Saxena, CO-Founder & COO, Bucketkart told iamwire. The firm is also planning to close the deal of $1 million very soon.
The company takes orders only through its website at the moment, with Android and iOS apps under development at the moment. It was founded by Santosh Tyagi, CEO (NIE Mysore Alumni), Archana Pawar Saxena, COO (HBTI Kanpur Alumni) and Bishal Kumar, Head of Business Development (BHU & NITK Surathkal) in October 2014, with services going live in March-2015. At present the startup is doing an average 150 transaction per day.
The startup is competing with several well-funded grocery players like BigBasket, Zopnow, AaramShop, and Peppertap. The share of BigBasket has been the largest among the other online grocery businesses, followed by Zopnow, being the second largest player to be able to capture a large customer base in Bangalore, as reported by Ken Research.
According to a recent report by Retail consultancy Technopak, online grocery delivery industry is estimated to be less than $100 million at present, but is expected to cross $25 billion by 2020, expected to grow at a rate of 25-30 per cent year-on-year in major Indian cities. Online marketplaces like Amazon, Flipkart and Snapdeal are also have also joined the segment. And looking at the potential that this industry holds, it will be exciting to see the cut throat competition among the established players of this segment against the newbies.
One more funded grocery startup LocalBanya recently halted its operations temporarily due to undefined reasons. With the increased competition can we now expect even the seasoned players to shut down? Or possibly get acquired by one of the bigger marketplaces to consolidate the space?

There's a touch of ye' olde Tom Ford in this Gucci collection. Mixed with Prada from Miuccia's heyday. And, to be honest, it's all the better for it.
Frida Giannini seems to be veering left and right in her last few collections at Gucci. Perhaps it's clutching at straws. Perhaps it's because there's a big design team involved and the board to please*. (*See returning to Gucci's look and phenomenal success while under the vision of master Tom). Or, perhaps she's still steering a path forward for a new, reinvented Gucci that will please as many fashion eds as it does boardroom bosses and women with plenty dollah. It's all about the sass not the sexiness, don't you know?
This collection was pretty tight in everyday tailoring and casual pieces as much as the statement pieces of fur coats, '70s style American Hustle glasses, snakeskin boots and '60s A-line mini dresses and preppy peacoats. The leather and vinyl trims made sure that this largely retrospective collection was brought up to date in terms of relevance. Even if it did juxtapose the late 60s vibe against the mid '70s influence. And, there were plenty of clutches and oversized new-style Gucci bags and boots to sell the brand name, if that's your 'thang.
Fur sweatshirts and leather trews or cut-off pants in muted ';70s shades may be difficult for your average woman to carry off but there was enough swagger and touches of louchness for your avid Gucci'phile to lunge at. Perhaps not the best collection. But certainly not the worst, either.

Mr and Mrs Tariq and their youngest son pose for a group photo in their apartment with the interpreter (L) in the College of Defense Studies (CDS) of the National Defense University (NDU) in Beijing on Nov. 23, 2016.
It was past 4 p.m. on Nov 23, on the campus of the College of Defense Studies (CDS) of the National Defense University (NDU) located in Beijing's Changping District, we came across Mr Tariq, who was taking a walk after concluding his afternoon classes. He prefers such cozy mode of exercise to more strenuous sports. After a few words of chatting, this hospitable Pakistani military officer invited us to his home for a visit.
The "home" of Tariq is actually a two-bedroom unit in an apartment building the college provides for foreign military students who have family members living with them.
In the sitting room, we saw Tariq's youngest son Zubi, 4 years old, still in kindergarten. The lovely little boy, blinking his big eyes, looked at us curiously.
Tariq told us the CDS has set up a kindergarten for children of the foreign military students.
Tariq is a brigadier general in Pakistan Air Force. He came to the CDS this September to attend a one-year-long defense and strategic study program. This is his first time studying in China, so he looked forward to it very much. Tariq's wife and their three sons also came to China with him.
"Pakistan and China have a time-honored deep friendship and people of the two countries treat each other like friends. So I feel at home here," said Tariq when we asked him whether he is used to the life in China.
After two months of studies, Tariq has an increasing interest in China. When asked about what impresses him most in China, he mentioned China's economy without any hesitation.
"I ever read articles on China's economic development, so I am eager to know what China has done to achieve such a huge economic progress within decades."
As we were talking, Mrs Tariq came back from a party arranged by the college for spouses of the students. Today they learned how to make traditional Chinese paper-cutting. Mrs Tariq liked it very much and showed her works to us.
Mrs Tariq said that she was also worried before coming to China about the language barrier, and what to do if they cannot get accustomed to the life here. But it turned out they worried too much: the college personnel have arranged everything for them and are ready to help for any difficulties they meet, she said.
The night shut in, Mrs Tariq stepped into the kitchen to prepare supper, while the kids and their father sat in the living room and waited for the family dinner. Though it was chilly cold outside, we were deeply touched by the warm home of Mr. Tariq.

The video (soon to be added if it's not here already) is of some of the kids saying one of the verses to me. Even the younger ones were able to say it with the motions.
Please continue to pray for these children. I may be doing another Five Day Club in their area in a couple of weeks since there were some kids that were unable to attend the first week. I would also like to start a weekly Bible Club there in the fall.
Pray, also, for next week as we do another Five Day Bible Club in the middle of The Livingston Housing Authority.

George Holding defeats Renee Ellmers in 2nd District's incumbent showdown
U.S. Rep. George Holding of Raleigh defeated a fellow incumbent — and a Donald Trump ally — in one of the most-watched congressional primaries in the nation.
Rep. Renee Ellmers' defeat in the GOP contest marks a major fall for a politician who was once a television political show staple and who worked to recruit Republican women to run for office. Holding presented himself as more conservative than Ellmers.
"You go to Washington and you think you vote the right way," Holding said at his victory party Tuesday night. "I try to vote in a conservative manner, and you wonder sometimes, do people even notice? This primary gave me the opportunity to learn that people do notice."
With all precincts reporting, Holding defeated Ellmers by about 30 percentage points. Ellmers squeaked out a second-place finish by less than a percentage point over tea-party-connected candidate Greg Brannon.
Five Democrats competed in that party's primary. John P. McNeil, a Raleigh lawyer, won with about 46 percent of the vote.
Holding and McNeil now go on to the November election. The district was drawn to give the Republican candidate the advantage.
Holding challenged the 2nd Congressional District incumbent, Ellmers, after Holding's 13th District was moved from the Triangle to the Triad when the legislature redrew the districts in response to a federal court ruling.
Ellmers is taking heat for some of her votes, including for a bipartisan budget deal, and for helping delay in 2015 a vote on a bill outlawing abortion after 20 weeks.
Brannon had a solid core of supporters in the district from his two U.S. Senate campaigns. He filed to run in the congressional primary after he lost the Senate primary in March and has described himself as the true Washington outsider.
Brannon, a Cary obstetrician, ran a low-money race that relied heavily on grassroots energy. He remained, for the most part, out of the heavy media and mail campaigns run by the two incumbents that inundated voters with mail and phone calls.
Attacked by opponents as being too close to the U.S. House leadership, Ellmers became an outspoken supporter of presumptive GOP presidential nominee Trump. Ellmers announced Saturday that Trump had endorsed her and recorded a robo-call for her as she seeks a fourth term.
Ellmers criticized Holding for the overseas trips he has taken at taxpayer expense and tried to paint him as ineffective.
"I respect George Holding for being elected to Congress, but he is not a doer, and I fear for the people of District 2," Ellmers said after conceding the race. "I'm going to do everything I can to make sure he does a good job representing the people, even though he doesn't live in the district itself."
Groups such as the American Conservative Union and the Susan B. Anthony List, a group opposed to abortion rights, gravitated to Holding.
Americans for Prosperity, a group connected to the wealthy industrialist Koch brothers, was once an Ellmers ally. But AFP turned against her this year, sending people into the district to convince voters to turn her out of office.
Conservative groups spent nearly $1.2 million this year to defeat Ellmers, led by about $790,000 from Club for Growth Action, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.
Susan B. Anthony List also had people knock on more than 12,000 doors to knock Ellmers out of office. The group says Ellmers betrayed it when she worked to convince House leadership to delay a vote on legislation making abortions illegal after 20 weeks. The vote was to be in January 2015 when abortion opponents from around the country were in Washington for a March for Life. The bill passed months later, with Ellmers voting for it.
Some of those groups applauded her defeat Tuesday night.
Ellmers said the special interests aligned against her did not like her message "which is compassion and looking to empower women to make better choices."
Some voters Tuesday said they were put off by the negative campaigning. But they held different views on who leaned on the tactic most.
Richard Wood, 48, said he's received lots of phone calls and lots of mail about Ellmers and Holding.
The computer engineer from Holly Springs said he voted for Holding.
"A lot of negative campaigning turned my opinion a lot," he said, and Ellmers did much of it.
But John Knall, a retired project manager from Holly Springs, said his vote for Ellmers was a rejection of Holding's negative campaigning.
"That's the thing that swayed me, the incessant claims he was so conservative," Knall said. "When Renee Ellmers was elected, she ran as a conservative and now the conservatives are making her sound as liberal as Clay Aiken. That's certainly not the truth."
Aiken, who came to fame on "American Idol," lost to Ellmers in the 2014 general election.
Ellmers said she remains dedicated to supporting Trump in his campaign for the White House.
"I believe when God closes a door, somewhere he opens a window," she said. "And that's where we're going to be headed."

D.C. United's travel adventure
D.C. United adjusted as best it could during the first wintry week of training camp in Washington. The coaches and staff shoveled the artificial turf grounds outside RFK Stadium for half-field workouts and the players utilized an indoor fitness center. They just needed to bear with it until Wednesday when they could escape the cold and fly to Florida for the second stage of camp, a 2 1/2-week stay in Bradenton (temperature: 59 degrees).
But when the second big storm approached this week, the club scrambled to get out of town. AirTran honored United's request to depart a day early, but because of limited availability, the players, coaches and support crew were booked onto three separate flights. Most were on the first departure Tuesday, which ended up being delayed at Reagan National Airport, forcing them to miss a connection in Atlanta. That group was then divided into three parties for separate flights to Sarasota, Fla. All arrived in nearby Bradenton late Tuesday night.
As for the other two flights out of Washington, they were cancelled. So a group of at least a dozen piled into a van before the brunt of the storm struck and drove 650 miles to Atlanta, arriving around midnight to await a flight this morning. They rejoined the first group in Bradenton around noon.
Meantime, United goalkeeper Troy Perkins and forward Chris Pontius were unable to fly on their scheduled flight to Los Angeles for the start of U.S. national team camp at Home Depot Center.
For more details and player updates.....
Despite winter threats, United almost always opens training camp in Washington, spending a week primarily on fitness and conditioning, before heading to a warmer climate for intensive workouts and exhibition matches. Snow and cold had never caused as many problems as this year.
"If they hadn't gotten out yesterday, they probably would have had to wait until Saturday," said General Manager Dave Kasper, who isn't scheduled to join the team until next week. Besides the weather issues, the Presidents Day holiday weekend left few seats available late this week.
Meantime, defender Bryan Namoff (head/neck/concussion) did not accompany the team to Florida and is not likely to join the group there. Goalkeeper Josh Wicks continues to rehab his shoulder in California, midfielder Danny Szetela is recovering from knee surgery in New Jersey and midfielder Santino Quaranta (foot) is planning to travel south this weekend.
One foreign trialist is expected to arrive in Bradenton on Wednesday, another this weekend a perhaps a third soon. Kasper declined to identify them. The Insider reported this week that Honduran defender Quiarol Arzu and Jamaican defender Jermaine Taylor were tentatively scheduled to begin workouts with United. Goalkeeper Andrew Quinn, a trialist from Notre Dame, was part of the group that drove to Atlanta.

on another note, Namoff's continued absence gets more and more worrisome. does he have a history of concussions? i certainly don't want him to come back and risk making it worse, but this is going on 6 months now. in a game where head contact is inevitable, it doesn't bode well that his recovery has been so slow and incomplete.

I saw one of the United team vans departing National yesterday while dropping my dad off. See, just like the team, he was moving his flight up to Tuesday to beat the storm...
...and he was headed to Atlanta...

Can they even make an offer? Transfer window is closed.
I'm sure they'd like to try an extend the loan - but is that something that LA would consider? Does the league want to lose it's second biggest star in a crucial marketing period before the World Cup?

A few months ago, I read that Donovan had split from his long-time gal pal, which led me to expect a move abroad for him.Does anyone else remember seeing that news, and does anyone know if they're together or apart currently? Normally, not something I'd care about, but it does seem to influence Donovan's movements.

In former years, DCU would take a direct non-stop to Tampa and then bus the one hour to Bradenton. Connecting flights are very risky at this time of year even if the weather is normal. Taking a connecting flight demonstrates poor judgement on the part of the team staff.

Donavan's ability to raise his game up another level coincided directly with dumping that life sucking winch. Golden Boot of MLS, outstanding in Confed. Cup, LA to the MLS Cup, and now lighting it up at Everton. She has always held him back. Best thing he has ever done for his career.

main idea: Your true values and capacity are revealed in the face of adversity.
The much-anticipated movie The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (an adaptation of JRR Tolkien's book) begins with the wizard Gandalf recruiting Mr. Bilbo Baggins for an adventure as a burglar. Bilbo doesn't feel he has the skills to keep up with the dwarves in their quest to reclaim their home. Thorin, the leader, has the most doubts about Bilbo. Through all the obstacles and adversities, Bilbo soon steps up to be the kind of person that Gandalf saw him to be; Thorin recognizes that too in the end.
We all long for that one person who sees the potential in us, who sees something that we may miss ourselves. But when we discover that potential, we begin to claim who we really are.
So who do you believe in today?

Discover the Ancient Stone Ruins and Vanished Civilisations of Southern Africa.
With scientist, explorer and internationally acclaimed author Michael Tellinger
Long before the Egyptians saw the light of day, this vanished civilisation worshipped the Sun, they carved the first Sphinx and Horus Bird, built an ancient calendar aligned with Orion, (ADAM'S CALENDAR), and they were obsessed with gold. Their mysterious tools and artefacts indicate that they had an advanced knowledge of the laws of nature and they used SOUND & FREQUENCY as a tool – this is why we call this the first Silicone Valley. Archaeological finds connect these ruins to ancient civilisations like the Egyptians, Phoenicians, Dravidian's, The Maya, Romans, Greeks and the Anunnaki gods of the Sumerians. This is an unforgettable treat for those who seek deeper knowledge and truth about our human origins. And for those who have seen sites like Stonehenge, The Giza Pyramids or Machu Pichu; the Stone Circles of South Africa will complete your journey.

First amphibian arrival
The annual ritual of spotting the first newt returning to our pond for the breeding season was a little later than average this year. The first amphibian, a smooth newt, came in with the heavy rain last night and has a somewhat unusually shallow pond this autumn. Dry weather has meant that there are still only a few centimetres of water in the bottom of the pond and dry ground has probably limited the opportunities for newts to migrate back.

Success easily produces complacency. In business or in life, our biggest detractor to acting with urgency is reminiscing about past successes. Complacency whispers, "Nothing is wrong. Everything is great!" In John P. Kotter's book, A Sense of Urgency, he believes a true sense of urgency focuses on the critical issues and is driven to win now! Here are some practical ways to apply his principles:
1) Behave with Urgency Every Day. Learn to purge and delegate: eliminate activity that no longer adds high value. Next, move with speed: respond fast, move now. Thirdly, speak with passion: attitudes, feelings and actions are contagious. Try creating a strategy aimed at the hearts and minds of others. Past success tells us nothing about the future. Be "urgently patient": act each day with a sense of urgency, but have a realistic view of time.
2) Find Opportunities in Crisis. Crisis isn't always bad, it may actually be required to succeed under certain conditions. The next time you encounter a dilemma, try using the crisis to develop the urgency needed to create a better organization. Create a carefully considered strategy, then get buy-in from others. Create goals that will "stretch" others and seek to find more powerful partners. Overall, be proactive in assessing how people will react to change then do your best to turn disaster into triumph.
3) The Future Begins Today. Try something new. If an action doesn't help, abandon it. If it works well, consider doing it more. Ask, "Is the way we do things around here a barrier to success?" Acting urgently is the tactic that creates results quickly. Action is the true test. You need to activate alertness, movement and leadership NOW!
Acting with a sense of urgency decreases complacency in your organization. It takes discipline to see the external world clearly. Don't be a "victim" of "what's worked in the past, will work in the future." Start today by identifying new opportunities, avoiding hazards and finding ways to win!

I hope you're all doing your best to keep warm during these frigid temps! We can't even complain here in Boston compared to those of you in #Chiberia (that's Chicago being referenced as Siberia for those of you who may have missed that).

I have to say, thank god for these recent closet additions! Here are a few items I received (or purchased for myself while shopping for others...) that I can't stop wearing lately.
1 - Oh this sweater. It has been worn countless times since the week of Christmas. Out with friends, Christmas dinner, a Holiday Party, etc. While visiting my sister in Charlotte she had something similar on from JCrew and my mom loved it. Well, JCrew Factory sells a cotton blend version, versus a wool blend sold at JCrew, for a great price. And personally, cotton is much more comfortable to my mom and I so I snagged one for myself when buying hers. And truth be told, there are 2 more arriving on my doorstep this afternoon, one for each of us. We love this sweater!
2 - Ask and you shall receive. Well, at least in my family. I asked my mother-in-law for a cable knit sweater this Christmas and am completely in love with this one. It is incredibly comfortable. And the heavy knit has been perfect on these colder days. You can see a peak of it in this IG photo. It was perfect for a snowy day in the office. That and my new Sorel boots (similar) from my in-laws, lifesavers!
3 - I may have mentioned to my mom that I was in the market for new black boots....these have been great. I love the back zipper and minimal details on these boots, very sleek. My staple outfit lately for a few trips to the city, Sweater #1, black skinny jeans, these boots. Solid, comfortable outfit, easy to pair with a fun necklace.
4 - Who doesn't love a good set of flannel PJs? I may or may not have lived in these flannel pajamas while sick last week. The comfiest pajamas I have ever owned. Period.
Any recent purchases or gifts you're loving? Do tell!

In this feature to commemorate the First World War, we will bring you the news as it happened in 1915, as reported by the Morpeth Herald. All material is published with kind permission of the Mackay family. We thank them for their support and generosity in allowing us access to their archive.
The Easter sports organised by the officers of the 19th Service Battalion of the Northumberland Fusiliers (Second Tyneside Pioneers) were successfully held in the Olympia sports field, Morpeth, on Saturday and Monday.
The arrangements, made by the hon. secretary, Second Lieut. H. Roberts, were of a perfect description and he was ably supported by Captain Renwick (chairman of the committee), Captain Fawcass, Second Lieut. McIllwaine, and Second Lieut. Scott.
Owning to the adverse weather conditions on Saturday there was not a large attendance. All the events programmed, and there was a great variety, secured numerous entries. Fine weather prevailing on Monday there was a splendid attendance of the military and public, amongst those present being Brigadier-General Hunter, Major Temperley, offices of the battalion, and Mr and Mrs George Renwick of Springhill.
Throughout the day great interest was evidenced in the sports, and each event was followed with the liveliest interest. Excellent times were registered in the foot racing, and everything was carried out in good time and without a hitch.
Mr J. Tully, the well-known handicapper, acted as referee, and Lance-corporal C.R. Nicholson was pistol firer. Mr Jas. Mackay was judge of the wrestling events.
On both days the battalion band, under the able direction of Bandmaster Cave discoursed pleasing programmes of music.
Easter Monday was not a dull day at Morpeth.
In spite of the stoppage of the excursions by the railway company there was a large influx of visitors to the town.
During the day the main streets presented a very animated appearance. There were several attractions for the holiday seekers, and the regimental sports held in the Olympic sports field proved a very attractive one.
Brigadier-General Hunter was amongst the interested spectators, and he paid a high compliment to the battalion by congratulating the officers upon having such a fine body of athletes in their regiment.
"They are fit to go anywhere," remarked the Brigadier, and the men were, naturally, highly pleased with the praise that was bestowed upon them.
Lord Desborough, the President of the Central Association of Volunteer Corps, states that the Government now intend to provide these corps with arms.
The Morpeth Training league will be very glad to have more recruits, and now that the weather is improving and the days lengthening, it is much more interesting, and it is hoped that more men, especially men over military age, will join.
The drills are still held on Mondays and Wednesdays in the Council School playground, at 7.30 p.m. Anyone desirous of joining may obtain further information from the members of the committee.
The danger of a raid on the East Coast is not by any means over, and it is still quite possible that the enemy may land a force there with the idea of doing as much mischief as ever they can before making their escape.
It would be greatly to our advantage if such contingency arose to be able to place in the field a body of volunteers trained and armed who knew the locality.
At a meeting of the Town Council held on March 31st. the Mayor reported that a troop of Boy Scouts from Sunderland, with whom was a Belgian scout from Antwerp, were expected in Morpeth the next day and would stay overnight, Mr J.R. Watson, of the New Phoenix Inn, having kindly undertaken to accommodate them in his hotel free, the members of the Council unanimously expressed their thanks to Mr Watson for his kindness and to the Mayor for having made the necessary arrangement.
On the following day the Mayor received the troop at the station, and by arrangement with the directors of Pictureland they were entertained to an advance exhibit on some of the fils proposed to be used at the opening of the new picture hall.
At the same Council meeting a report was received from the members of their collections of subscriptions towards the Hollon Sports on Easter Monday, and a programme was ranged.
Councillor Swinney having collected the largest amount of subscriptions was presented by the Mayor with an Iron Cross kindly provided for the purpose by Councillor Duncan.
"You want to do a bit of thinking my lads," remarked Mr John Cairns, who came out from the Burt Hall to address a meeting of the putters of Morpeth Moor Colliery, whose notices were put in to enforce a demand for an advance of 6d per score price.
Mr Cairns proceeded to appeal to the lads to realise what a stoppage of work means at this serious crisis.
"Have you any brothers in the trenches?" Mr Cairns enquired, and answering his own question he said, "I know you have, but few of us know what provocations they are enduring bravely and cheerfully," and he concluded, "Don't do anything that would be calculated to interfere with their heroic work or to dishearten those who are making such sacrifices for the common good."
The lads eventually decided to withdraw their notices for the time being, and to keep the pit going, meanwhile Mr Cairns undertook to negotiate with Mr Summerside, the manager, with a view of obtaining what advance was possible under the circumstances.
There was a large attendance at the sacred concert given in the Institute on Sunday evening.
The following contributed to the programme:— Miss Hood, Sergt. Bennington, and Private Chadlers. Mr E. D. Souslby presided and Lance-corporal Luke was the accompanist.
Through the kindness of Mr G. Renwick, the Coxlodge Silver Model Band rendered a programme of music in the Institute last Sunday afternoon and evening.
When the Institute opened on January 24th they had in stock 20,000 envelopes and the last of same was used on April 4th.
Mr I.C. Blackburn, of Blyth, has kindly presented to the Institute the following flags: Union Jack, French and Russian.
There has been quite a boom in recruiting during the last week for the 2nd line of this battalion.
A large number of men who have been called up by the Parliamentary Committee's circular have signified their intention to join the 7th, and this is only natural, as they will serve with men from their own countryside and their early training will take place in Alnwick.
Apart from these, there is a steady flow of recruits from other parts of the county.
There are still many vacancies in the 7th Battalion, and it is of very great importance that they should be filled up at an early date, so that the second Seventh may go under canvas at its increased establishment.
Arrangements were made for a recruiting march this week through the north of Northumberland.
If there are any men left in the north of Northumberland and they wish to join, all they have to do is to send to the Depot, 7th Northumberland Fusiliers, Fenkle Street, Alnwick, for a free railway ticket.
A Ball will be held at Shaftoe Grange, on Friday, April 23rd, 1915, in aid of the Lord Lieutenant's Fund. Dancing to commence at 8.30. Admission:— Gentlemen, 1/-; Ladies, 6d. Supper will be provided at a Moderate Charge.
The Commandant, No 6 V. A. Hospital begs to acknowledge with thanks the under-mentioned gifts for the use of the patients in hospital:— Cakes, P.M. Social supper; Easter eggs, Mrs Joicey, Mrs Stott, Mrs Middlemiss, the Mayoress, Mrs James; magazines, Miss Middlemiss, publishers of "Khaki Magazine," Mrs Creighton, Miss Ayre; malted milk, Horlicks Malted Milk Co.; old linen and cigarettes, Mrs Creighton; plants and cream, Mrs Simpson; books, Mr Pattinson; fruit, Mrs F. Brummell; flowers, the Mayoress and Miss Nichol; milk, Mrs Simpson; table cloth, Miss Coble.
The Commandant wishes to acknowledge the kindness of Mrs Jobling, Howard Castle, in giving hospitality to the Sister on night duty, also the gift of 10s from an anonymous friend.
Mrs Learmouth, of Blyth, has received a pathetic communication in the shape of a letter from her son, James Gyre, a stoker on H.M. "Inflexible," who was killed after the letter was written.
He said he would sooner be in the North Sea than in the Dardenelles. His letter concluded:— "Courage, brother; do not stumble; trust in God and do the right."
Mr. Richardson, of Institute Row, West Sleekburn, has received news from the War Office that his son-in-law, B. Stewart, was killed in action on March 20th in France. He leaves a widow and one child.
The German submarine pirates have extended their campaign, and, not content with raiding and destroying harmless merchant ships, they are now turning their attention to innocent fishing craft.
An example of this campaign was perpetrated off the Tyne on Thursday evening, when a German submarine, which has been definitely identified as U10, destroyed three trawlers.
The one redeeming feature of the affair was that the crews were all saved and kindly treated by the German pirates.
The steam trawler Rhodesia, also belonging to Shields, was spared by the U10, in order to convey the crews of the other boats ashore.
The Swedish steamer, "Tord," arrived at Blyth on Tuesday, having on board Captain Retusen and a crew of 13 hands employed on the Grimsby trawler "Acantha," belonging to Messrs Harrison and Chapman, fish merchants, Grimsby.
The crew report that they were returning from the White Sea with a cargo of fish value £2,000 and about 2pm on Monday morning in fine, clear weather, they were startled by rifle shots, several of which struck the trawler, and presently they saw a German submarine some 600 yards from their vessel.
The trawler continued to steam ahead and without further warning, shots were fired from a big gun, one of which struck the trawler below the water line and she began leaking heavily, whereupon Captain Paterson ordered his men to take to the boats.
Without much trouble a boat on the lee side was launched quickly, but there was some delay in launching the boat on the weather side, and things not moving quickly enough for the Germans evidently, they continued to fire at the vessel.
The men got safely into their boats and were moving away from the trawler when the rifle practice was directed to their small boats, several shots striking the boats, but happily none of the crew were struck.
The trawler evidently was not sinking fast enough for the Huns, who drew nearer to her, within 500 yards, and launched a torpedo which put the trawler down quickly, when the submarine went off. The undercraft was painted a light colour and bore no letters or figures to identify it. Some of the crew managed tom save their effects, but Captain Paterson lost everything.
They were picked up by the s.s. "Tord," after having been one and a half hours in the boats.
Upon their arrival at Blyth the crew were taken in charge by Mr T. Smarsh (Ward and Son), secretary of the Shipwrecked Mariners' and Sailors' Society, and provided with the necessaries, and despatched to their homes.
Constable Young, whilst on duty between Hartford Bridge and Netherton on Friday evening at 7.30, found two dispatch riders of the Scottish Horse Trooper A.G. Cook and Lance-Corpl. A.C. Fleming lying, each with a right leg broken and other minor injuries, and their motor-cycles damaged.
They had accidentally collided near a turn whilst coming from opposite directions.
The men were removed to the army hospital at Bedlington and promptly attended to.

You make very sexy faces. Do you ever get called a flirt or a tease? "Sometimes, but not often. Sometimes men think I am giving them some kind of signal, but this is just my face! I guess I have a way of looking at people that is kind of sexy and flirty. That's because sex is almost always on my mind. But it doesn't necessarily mean I want to fuck them. And even if I want to fuck, I'm a little submissive when it comes to making a move on a guy." So you prefer the guys to make the move on you? "I think all girls do. Even if a girl is confident and aggressive, it still feels good for a guy to show you how much he wants you. Girls like to be chased and shown attention. It's the way we are built. If there is sexual tension between a guy and I, I would feel that he was less manly if he did not make a move.

Day 1: Afternoon
short we were harassed and robbed. But no negativity here as Brighton is a beautiful city.
also when it's dark, it's all lit up and looks amazing in the water reflection.
delicious and really good priced. If you fancy an alcoholic beverage, there are plenty of
places on the sea front to have some cocktails afterwards, also.
If you are into your alternative music and love a good dive bar, Sticky Mikes Frog Bar is the place for you, it's also a music venue that has regular gigs.
cease the day. After walking around the Lanes which is one the most highly
suggested things to in Brighton, we came across The Breakfast Club.
I have always wanted to go to the London branch but every time I've been, it has been
super busy and it certainly didn't disappoint, if you were interested but didn't
want to chance waiting for a table you can call and book a table.
stopping for a cocktail (or two) in numerous pubs we came across the Royal Pavilion. Every time I research Brighton, and read blog/vlogs of Brighton, everyone has visited here and its one of the main reasons I wanted to go. It has such a massive resemblance to
something you will find in India and its absolutely beautiful. The Palace was
built for King George VI as a seaside pleasure palace. Today, it hosts tours
and weddings, and with some luck a wedding was taking place when we arrived.
After basking in the sun, it was time for lunch. My friends
were recommended The Hope & Ruin by lots of people.
The Hope & Ruin is a full vegan restaurant &
music venue with most of their alcohol being vegan too. I wish I was being paid
to say this but this place is incredible. I'm going to be honest, I wasn't expecting
much after trying vegan cheese, previously and me being the biggest cheese fiend person I know, but my gosh, it was amazing. I ate the deep fried olives which
came with garlic mustard mayo and I also had the chilli cheese fries. If you're heading to Brighton, vegan or not you have to try this
place out as it's such a cool and quirky place also.
lie down it was time to get our glad rags on again and head to La Choza. I wasn't that bothered
what we did all weekend but I knew I wanted to eat Mexican. The menu was really
good, you could choose what you wanted section by section and for someone who
is a little fussy like me, was perfect. I had a burrito bowl and it was very
tasty, and I have to mention the perfect amount of sour cream (sour cream is

Brighton Train station is situated in the centre of Brighton, and a 10 minute
walk to the seafront.
around a 30 minute train journey away from Brighton.
WHERE TO STAY IN BRIGHTONWe stayed in a Hostel called HostelPoint. I would not recommend this hostel to anyone. Even though the price was super cheap, there definitely was a reason for this.
There are a lot of Hotels, BnB's, and AirBnB's right on the sea front, or there are lots in the city centre.

One-time shoppers, beware: There's a tactic being used by e-commerce companies that boosts their revenue by consistently charging your bank or credit account, even if you haven't purchased anything recently.
Startups like AdoreMe, a lingerie company that recently raised $8.5 million, and JustFab, a fashion accessory sales startup that's raised more than $80 million, all offer VIP accounts.
At a glance, the VIP accounts look like a steal. Items cost much less than the normal listed price and there's no initial membership fee. It isn't until you dig through the fine print - or notice strange charges on your credit card statements - that you notice something unexpected.
The VIP accounts are really just subscription services, sort of like Amazon Prime. The accounts give you free shipping, free exchanges for unwanted items, and discounts on several products. Memberships appear to be free at first, but the sites actually charge you about $40 (depending on the site) unless you buy something at least once a month or opt out of the service.
In JustFab's case, it is next to impossible to make a purchase without signing up for a VIP account. JustFab heavily promotes its VIP account and buries the option to buy stuff at the normal price. We've scoured JustFab and can't find a way to buy stuff without the VIP account, but JustFab's CEO Adam Goldenberg says it's possible.
For unintentional members, getting monthly charges refunded can be difficult or impossible. AdoreMe will return unwanted VIP subscription charges if a user catches them within 30 days. But it isn't easy to find out you're a VIP member until a credit card charge hits. AdoreMe's account pages show no sign of the VIP membership you've signed up for, even in your list of recent transactions. Other sites have a strict policy against returning subscription money.
You can't easily cancel your VIP account either. You have to call customer service and complain, and there's no "unsubscribe" option on websites. Sometimes it takes multiple calls before an account is finally canceled.
Morgan Hermand-Waiche, AdoreMe's CEO, admits there is industry confusion around subscription services. But he claims only 5% of his customers feel duped by his VIP service.
"By no means are we trying to catch people in subscription like JustFab does," Hermand-Waiche told Business Insider in an email. "We try our best to be as clear as we can and we explain both options at the check out. Sometimes, in the excitement of the purchase some customers don't really pay attention, but we are always A/B testing new ways of explaining to make sure most people understand it all."
A spokesperson for JustFab gave a similar response. "We make it very clear during the JustFab shopping experience and in many places on the site that if you choose to take advantage of the VIP membership prices, you are joining our VIP fashion service. Generally, our members understand the program that they agree to upon making their first purchase as a VIP member."
Hermand-Waiche says his team sends out multiple emails per month reminding members of their frequent need to take action or get charged. JustFab says it also sends reminders, and it flashes the VIP membership information multiple times before checkout. Both detail the programs in a "How It Works" section of their sites.
For one-time shoppers who don't realize what they've signed up for, VIP memberships are frustrating.
One person describes his girlfriend's experience on JustFab in a HackerNews message board, a popular forum for the tech community:
"Her friend emailed her a link to JustFab, then she bought a pair of shoes from www.justfab.com and never visited the website again. Only 8 months later, in early September, she was appalled to find out that her credit card has been charged a $39.95 fee for the last eight months. Yes, $39.95 for 8 months, without getting anything from JustFab."
Another JustFab user says on a Consumer Affairs message board that she purchased one pair of shoes on the site, then later realized she had paid nearly $400 in monthly fees:
"This company is a scam. In order to make a purchase, I had to create a JustFab account. After making the purchase I was automatically signed up for VIP membership...I was looking at my bank account activity and noticed they've been charging me every month even when I made a purchase. I called the manager and demanded a full refund for the 9 credit points, but received nothing."
There have been similar experiences with AdoreMe. One angry customer wrote in July on message board Site Jabber:
"I ordered two sets and I loved this company until they tricked me into signing up for a dumb 'VIP' access which was just them taking out $40 a month out of my account without me actually ordering and buying ANYTHING. I've been trying to get my money back, (now they've stolen $140 out of my account)…I hate Adore Me."
Most shoppers are unfamiliar with the subscription tactic, so it's easy to miss the warnings or fine print.
Here are some ways the sites try to explain the service. Notice the monthly charges aren't stated up front.
And another AdoreMe promotion at check out:
JustFab, which has 15 million members, may have the most aggressive subscription service. If you aren't a VIP member, it's nearly impossible to find an "add to cart" button for an item. VIP prices also look like one-time sales, not a discount you'll pay for later.
The membership service has benefitted JustFab, even if it has come at the expense of customers. CEO Goldenberg told Business Insider last week that most of JustFab's revenue comes from the subscription service. He expects his company will generate $400 million in 2014.
In the meantime, angry customers are getting louder on message boards.
"Good luck charging me, crooks! My bank is blocking all of your charges," one vents about JustFab. "Do not EVER sign up to this company!" writes another. "[It's] a complete scam!"

Nieman Journalism Lab's exciting new project seeks to pull these tools together into a resource they call Encyclo.Think of Encyclo as a wiki-style compilation of the publications and businesses which are driving the evolution of journalism. There are newspapers, magazines, broadcast news organizations, wire services, tech companies, and much more. There are currently over 200 sources in Encyclo, and each entry page includes key links to the organization's website or social media presences, a few paragraphs describing the organization, and an aggregation of coverage from Nieman Lab and from around the web via Mediagazer.Users can share entry pages via Facebook or Twitter, and mark them for later consumption using Instapaper. Since this is a new project from Nieman Journalism Lab, users are welcome to contribute to the site and add new entries for their organizations, and give up dates on current entries. Aside from being a great tool for discovering what news organizations are making waves online. While the service has only been online for a few weeks, some are seeing it as a great resource to use for journalism classes.Visit Encyclo today at http://niemanlab.org/encyclo.

My Primal Story
Posted: Aug 24 2014
In May 2013 I bought a book called 'The 4 Hour Body' by Tim Ferris. I had previously bought the first book by Tim Ferris called 'The 4 Hour Work Week' which I really enjoyed, so for that reason I thought I would buy his next book. It definitely wasn't because I believed there was anything wrong with my body or the way I was eating and exercising. I had always had an interest in health and fitness but thought I was very fit and healthy......... Keep Reading

Rockford is one of the largest cities in Illinois, and its dense traffic makes it one of the most dangerous locations to ride a motorcycle. The Rockford motorcycle accident attorneys of Rosenfeld Injury Lawyers represent the needs of those who are harmed in preventable motorcycle collisions. It is our goal to help reduce the number of fatal motorcycle accidents in our state by increasing awareness to motorcycle safety issues and holding drivers accountable when their actions result in the injury or death of another person. If you have been injured in an accident, we can make sure that you receive the compensation you are entitled to for the payment of your medical bills and out of pocket expenses.
Victim Resources:
Rockford is experiencing an Epidemic of Motorcycle Accidents
In the last year alone, Rockford has witnessed numerous motorcycle accidents that have resulted in serious injuries and fatalities. The summer tends to be the most deadly time of the year for motorcyclists because more of them take to the roads to enjoy the warm weather. It should not be surprising in the least that two of the most severe accidents occurred during the month of June.
On June 11, a 67 year old motorcyclist was taken to the hospital in critical condition after he lost control of his bike when taking a curve. He collided with a street sign and was knocked off of his motorcycle. Authorities reported that the operator was not wearing a helmet. The second serious accident in the month of June occurred only nine days later when a 33 year old woman struck a motorcycle from behind and threw the motorcyclist from his bike.
ElzajatJakupi was rushed to the hospital with life threatening injuries and the woman who struck him escaped unharmed. She was arrested and charged with aggravated driving under the influence involving serious injuries and failing to reduce speed to avoid an accident. A 58 year old Rockford man was killed in an accident less than three months later when his motorcycle fell into a ditch on South Derinda Road south of Elizabeth.
These accidents and others like them remind us of the need to continue to educate drivers and motorcyclists on the dangers that all motorcyclists encounter whenever they share the road with others. Operating a motorcycle safely requires a commitment to continued improvement and education on safe strategies and how to reduce the chances of being placed in a precarious position on the road.
Common Injuries Suffered in Motorcycle Collisions
Whether a motorcycle accident is the fault of the rider or another motorist, our Rockford motorcycle injury lawyers have noticed that the results are often the same— the rider suffers injuries that are far more severe than what the passenger of a vehicle would endure under the same circumstances. Because the injuries are more serious when a motorcyclist is involved, they require immediate emergency care followed by specialized treatment options in order to help the victim recovery properly. The injuries we see the most include the following.
- Road rash and degloving injuries that result from contact between the ground and the victim's skin. Even when a motorcyclist wears long sleeved shirts and pants, it is possible for friction burns to damage skin and muscle tissue, resulting in an open wound or the removal of the skin around the arm and hand. These wounds are more prone to infection due to exposure to debris, dirt and other materials.
- Infections and amputations. Many of the wounds that motorcyclists suffer can become infected. The nature of these infections makes them hard to treat because bacteria is able to penetrate deep muscle tissue and bone, making it impossible to prevent the spread of the infection without resorting to amputation.
- Broken or shattered bones. Fractures are commonplace among motorcycle accident victims and the location, type and severity of the fractures determine what measures need to be taken to set the bones back in place and address any accompanying injury.
- Traumatic brain injuries. While helmets do go a considerable way in preventing injuries to the head and face, a blow to the head can result in traumatic brain injuries which can cause cognitive impairment weeks or months after the accident. It is important to undergo screening for a TBI following an accident even if you don't present any symptoms.
Rosenfeld Injury Lawyers is an award winning personal injury law firm that has helped thousands of clients recover the compensation they deserved following tragic motorcycle accidents. If you have been injured due to the negligent actions of another motorist, we can assist you in receiving medical care from qualified specialists while maximizing the value of your case so that your expenses are covered.

Delegate Filler-Corn
41st District
Below is a list of legislation that I introduced during the 2012 General Assembly.
In addition to the legislation I have introduced, I also co-patroned numerous pieces of legislation with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle in order to ensure we pass fair and helpful laws for the citizens of Virginia.
HB 696 Funding of Virtual schools.
HB 696 would be the first step in fixing the broken system of funding virtual schools. Currently in Virginia, when a student attends a virtual school full-time, they receive the state share of educational funds from where the school is located, rather from the jurisdiction of residence, since the student never leaves their jurisdiction of resident, the state share of education funds, should match where the student lives. I was proud to bring this issue to the attention of my colleagues and discuss a solution. This piece of legislation was very similar to another bill and due to the of the importance of this issue, the Appropriations Committee decided to "lay this on the table" and address the issue of funding virtual schools while dealing with the larger issue of educational funding in the State Budget.
HB 697 Mental health policies in higher educational institutions.
HB 697 would require the governing boards of each public institution of higher education to develop and implement a policy requesting each student to identify points of contact to be notified should the student experience a mental health crisis while attending the institution. The sub-committee on higher education heard this legislation and decided to "continue the bill" to the 2013 General Assembly. I will build a coalition of interested parties to further research this topic to find the most efficient way for higher educational institutions to handle mental health crises.
HB 702 Providing health insurance credit for retired school division employees
HB 702 would give the health insurance credit currently being provided to retired teachers to all retired employees of the local school division at the option and expense of the local school division. I was proud to introduce this legislation that would provide equity for all education employees, bringing them to the level of benefits provided to state employees in comparable positions. Currently, a retired janitor from state prison has access to health insurance credit but janitors from our schools do not. While presenting this legislation to a subcommittee during an Appropriations meeting, I was honored to be joined by former Delegate Jim Dillard and representatives of the Retired Teachers Association, the Virginia Education Association, and the Fairfax Federation of Teachers. Unfortunately the legislation was not reported out of the Appropriations Committee.
HB 703 Policies related to student nonpayment in higher educational institutions.
HB 703 would provide that colleges and universities in Virginia shall wait the full 60 day time frame before sending a student account to collections for nonpayment. I introduced this legislation after a constituent shared with me a problem dealing with a student being sent to a collection agency. It is important for our students to learn responsibility while in college but I feel we should provide extra safe guards to protect their financial future. This piece of legislation passed both the House of Delegates and State Senate unanimously and will be before the Governor for his signature.
HB 699 Allocation of funds for highway maintenance.
HB 699 seeks to change the current transportation maintenance formula based upon an outdated standard, to one that is based upon the actual quality of the roads, bridges, tunnels, and rails as determined by scientific standards. Northern Virginia has 25% of the population yet only receives 14% of the funds for road maintenance. The new standard this bill will put forward would ensure that the money goes to where it is needed the most. My colleague, Delegate David Albo, has introduced similar legislation. I am proud to be part of a bi-partisan group that has co-sponsored this bill. This bill, HB 477, has passed the House of Delegates and is currently before the State Senate.
Public Safety
HB 700 Penalty for crimes against incapacitated or elder adults.
HB 700 would increase a violation for crimes against elder adults only if the individual who committed the crime was responsible for the care of the victim. The crime rate among seniors in Fairfax County rose 50% between 2008 and 2009 and continues to rise every year. Even with the rise in offenses, the police and AARP agree that crimes against seniors by their caretakers are still seriously underreported. During the 2011 session, I joined several members of the House of Delegates in a bi-partisan manner to introduce legislation similar to this. The fiscal impact to the Commonwealth kept these bills from passing in 2011. Due to legislation introduced on the same subject matter, the House of Delegates voted to move ahead with a single bill dealing with the financial exploitation of elderly or incapacitated adults. I was proud to be a co-patron of HB 987. Unfortunately, even with bi-partisan support, members of the Appropriation Committee had concerns over the fiscal impact and the bill was "continued to 2013" in order to ensure a funding source.
HB 701 Campus police reporting certain incidents to local law-enforcement agency.
HB 701 requires the chief law-enforcement officer of a public or private institution of higher education to report certain crimes of any person on campus property to the law-enforcement agency of the locality in which the institution is located. This legislation calls for campus police departments to enter into mutual aid agreements with local law enforcement where each could provide support and resources to the other in crimes dealing with rape and murder investigations. With school administration and local police working together, there is a vested interest in keeping crime statistics low and our students safe. While my bill was "laid on the table this year", I was proud to co-patron HB 965, a similar bill. HB 965 passed the House of Delegates. A similar bill successfully passed the State Senate and we can expect this legislation to head to the Governor for his consideration.
HB 704 Failure of a parent or guardian to report the death of child to local law-enforcement agency.
HB 704 provides a penalty to any parent, guardian, or legal custodian of a child who fails to report the death of the child to a local law-enforcement agency or the State Police within one hour of discovery of a death of a child. Last summer, concerns stemming from the death of Caylee Anthony and the trial and acquittal of her mother Casey by a Florida court prompted citizens from around the Country to encourage their legislators to introduce a law criminalizing the failure to report a missing or dead child. In the 41st district, I received over 400 e-mails asking me to introduce this legislation in Virginia. A few of my colleagues also introduced legislation known as "Caylee's Law". This legislation was heard in the House of Delegates Courts Committee. Unfortunately, members of the Committee shared concerns with the legislation as the one hour time limit could produce unintended consequences, and they decided not to bring this legislation up for a vote on the floor.
HB 706 Pedestrians.
HB 706 clarifies code language to ensure that the driver of a car will stop for pedestrians crossing at marked crosswalks or at intersections not controlled by traffic signals. In Fairfax County, there are many of us who walk to take our children to school, pick up a few items at a nearby store, or go out to enjoy some fresh air and exercise. Pedestrians face many obstacles with steady car flow, fast drivers, and sometimes an obstructed view. The intent of this legislation is to codify and strengthen the current code section to protect our pedestrians. The House Transportation Committee decided to "lay this issue on the table this year", as we continue to explore the best options for protecting pedestrians.
HB 707 Funeral protests.
HB 707 implements regulations regarding the time and location of protests or disruptions at a funeral or memorial service. I introduced this bill at the request of Fairfax County in order to preserve the dignity of funerals or memorial services by imposing reasonable restrictions on the location and timing of demonstrations. The US Supreme Court has held that demonstrations may be subject to reasonable time, place, or manner restrictions, as long as such restrictions are content- neutral. Current Virginia law does not address restrictions on the location or timing of protests or demonstrations. This bill would add a section to Virginia Code to prohibit intentional disruptions at funerals beginning 60 minutes immediately prior to the scheduled starting time of a funeral or memorial service, during a funeral or memorial service, or immediately following one. This legislation was presented to the Courts of Justice Committee. The Committee decided to "continue the legislation to the 2013" session to make sure all concerns are addressed before passing this legislation.
HB 705 Diagnostic procedures resulting from preventive care or screening.
HB 705 prohibits a health carrier from imposing cost-sharing requirements with respect to any diagnostic service or test, or related procedure, that is administered or conducted for preventive care or screening. We should encourage citizens of the Commonwealth to visit their doctors for preventive screenings, especially in the case of colorectal cancer screening. Currently, when a person goes in for such a test, it is supposed to be fully covered by a health insurance policy, under the current Affordable Healthcare Act. However, if the test turns into a diagnostic procedure while the patient is under medication, they can wake up with a bill for the full cost or a large portion of the screening and procedure. I made several changes to this bill and learned a lot in the process. It was decided by the Commerce and Labor Committee that this issue should be studied in more detail. I look forward to continuing conversations to make sure that preventive care is fully covered by a health insurance policy. The Medical Society of Virginia, which represents over 9,000 physician members, thanked me for bringing this issue to the attention of the General Assembly and will be part of a working group I will convene over the summer.
Government Reform & Transparency
HB 698 Posting conference report of the Budget on Internet.
HB 698 provides that the proposed budget bill be posted on the internet at least 48 hours prior to the vote of each house of the General Assembly. I believe that all Virginians should have the opportunity to review the final draft of the proposed budget before members of the General Assembly cast their votes. I am happy to announce that leadership from both parties agreed to post the proposed budget online 24 hours prior to a vote by the House of Delegates. Due to this compromise, the Committee decided not to hear my legislation at this time.
HJ 106 National Women's History Museum on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.
HJ 106 lets our Congressional delegation know that the General Assembly of Virginia supports the creation of a National Women's History Museum on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., to recognize and honor the contributions and achievements of women in the United States. A fellow colleague of mine wrote a similar bill that I was happy to co-patron. The resolution passed the House and will now be examined in the Senate.
