Fun Facts about Tomatoes
Tomatoes trace back to the early Aztecs around 700 A.D. When this fruit was introduced to Europeans in the 16th century most thought the tomato was poisonous because the higher classes ate their food off of pewter. This metal has a high lead content and the acid in the tomatoes would cause the lead to leech out into the food even causing death to some people.
Poor people who used wooden plates did not have this problem. One important question has been is it a fruit or vegetable? You decide.
Tomato lovers will love some of the designs we have including in our Zazzle stores we even have a tomato shower curtain.....

For some reason I always view an odd numbered year as one of bad luck. I always seem to have particularly good years when it's an even number, 2012, 2010 and 2008 have been particular favourites of mine. All in all I guess 2013 hasn't been so bad, there's been a lot of change.
However, I have had some pretty fantastic times too. I finally got to go to Paris, I saw Bloc Party in concert again, had a lovely chilled summer, went to some fantastic places on a cruise with my family, went to Belfast and turned 22. I'm so excited for what 2014 has to offer, particularly with travelling opportunities. I have some plans for this blog I can't wait to share with you but they shall have to wait until 1st January which is when I intend to start posting regularly again.
Happy New Year to you all!

Happy New Year to you all!
|I saw the New Year in at a friends house party with a lot of vodka and some great company.
|My best friend and I took a trip to Paris. You can read more about that here.
|We also went to London for the evening, travelling to Earls Court to see Bloc Party.
|I ate a lot of Wagamama's Chicken Itame dish this year, this was the first of many!
|The first fancy dress event of the year, my pal and I got to dress as pirates for someones 21st birthday.
|I travelled to Lourdes for the fourth time with a group called HCPT. They take disadvantaged children there every year in order to give both the kids and the parents a little break. You can find out more about this organisation here. This picture is showing one of my favourite events of the week - the Torchlight Procession.
|For my pals 22nd birthday I donned my leopard print onesie and joined a group of our friends at Colchester Zoo. It was a really lovely day despite the crappy weather!
|For my other friends 22nd birthday we made the journey down to Southampton where he was at University to see DJ Hannah Wants at a club there.
|May was also the first BBQ I went to this Summer.
|Another friends birthday and another theme, this time we had to get silly glasses to wear out. Primark didn't fail me with this pink flamingo pair!
|Two of the boys suggested one afternoon that we go crab fishing which I used to LOVE when I was younger. We caught quite a few and I was quite pleased I remembered how to pick them up still!
|I house/dogsat for my Aunt in July and made the most of a free house by having a BBQ and watching Wimbledon whilst drinking her beers. It's nice to get away and have some time to myself sometimes, I love looking after her house.
|I also went to Village Green with Loriley to see what it was like. It was a lot bigger than I expected! I wrote a blog post about that here.
|August saw me spending a lot of time at the Peterboat in Leigh as I became addicted to a cold glass of Pimms with some tasty prawns whilst sunning myself.
|A family cruise took me to some beautiful places in mid-August, my favourite being Krka National Park in Croatia. We also stopped off in Turkey and Greece, I wrote a post about my experiences with cruises here. Sadly I was lacking many photos for this trip as my SD card decided to corrupt, I was so angry with it! They couldn't be recovered either so I lost over 300 pictures which is still incredibly frustrating.
|Finally, right at the end of August, it was my 22nd birthday. I celebrated by going clubbing the night before, had lunch with some friends the next day and went for dinner at a posh restaurant with my family. You can read more about my day here.
|The first week of September I continued my birthday celebration with a trip to Alton Towers with 7 of my friends. We had a lot of fun in the theme park and spent the second day in Splash Landings waterpark. Camping definitely took the price down but it was so cold we eventually ended up sleeping in just the one tent! I wrote a post on this trip here.
|For my Mum's birthday I wanted to do something a bit different, so I decided to take her for dinner at the OXO Tower. We had a lovely meal and it was the first time either of us had eaten there. Just thinking about the beef I had is making my mouth water, you can see a picture of it and read more about that here.
|As Loriley's birthday present (way back in April) I bought her a horse experience where we could go riding together in Epping Forest. Despite a few hiccups it was a lovely day and it's really made me want to get back into horse riding again!
|For Halloween my friends and I dressed up and headed out for a night of dancing. I wrote about how I made myself look like a Zombie princess here.
|I also attended my first bloggers event in October for the Wonsupontime brand, I met some lovely bloggers and got to see some beautiful jewellery. I wrote more about this evening here.
|For my birthday present my best friend bought me a trip to Belfast, Ireland as I'd always wanted to go to the Titanic exhibition. I've always found the story of Titanic fascinating and having never been to Ireland before it was another place to cross off my list. I posted about our trip here.
|Christmas shopping with my Nan, Aunt and Mum led to us exploring both Harrods and Harvey Nichols. Burger and Lobster was by far my highlight of this day.
|A night out with friends to a club in Southend I hadn't actually been to before called the Box. It didn't particularly stand out to me but I wouldn't rule out going there again.
|We had a real Christmas Tree in the front room this year and it was beautiful, my parents picked the perfect one! My cats have loved sitting on the mantelpiece gentling patting the baubles until Mum catches them.
|Boxing Day Talk is somewhat an infamous night in my area as it's been going on for years. This year not as many people dressed up which I thought was a bit sad, but we had great fun pretending to be superheroes!

Joe Clark describes his journey from Navy corps man to paramedic.
Editor's Note: The First Responder Friday series is a weekly feature focusing on the men and women in law enforcement, emergency services and fire services who serve in our community every day.
Name: Joe Clark
Age: 51
Agency: Onslow County EMS
Years Served: 12
Rank or Title: Paramedic
What made you decide on this career path?
I've always been interested in emergency medicine. I enjoy the challenge of bringing calm to a chaotic scene. I also enjoy the critical thinking needed to rapidly assess and treat our patients.
What is it you love about working in your community?
The diverse population of Onslow County makes working in EMS a lot of fun. From young Marines, and their families, to our retired folks; they all have interesting stories to tell. I learn something about people every day.
Where else have you worked in the past?
I'm a retired (20 years) U.S. Navy Surface Force Independent Duty Corpsman (SFIDC). I had the honor of serving with the Marine Corps during several combat, training and humanitarian deployments.
Describe the road to your current position:
The return to "civilian life" after an exciting military career was difficult. At my wonderful wife's suggestion, I attended the paramedic degree program at Coastal Carolina Community College. During my final semester, I was hired by Onslow County Emergency Services. I now work with some of the brightest and most dedicated paramedics in the country.
What was the most memorable case you've worked?
Working in EMS can be somewhat of an emotional roller coaster. We witness some of life's most beautiful moments, such as the birth of a child. We also witness very tragic situations. Each time we are dispatched, the patient becomes the center of our world. Each 9-1-1 call is memorable.
What pushes you to stay on this career path and continue working in such a challenging position?
Emergency medicine is constantly evolving. The potential complexity of care provided in an Onslow County EMS ambulance is amazing. We are truly an extension of the emergency room. I am constantly pushed by this evolution.

ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J. (CBS.MW) -- Bestfoods said late Tuesday it has rejected an unsolicited $18.4 billion cash takeover bid from Unilever.
Bestfoods BFO, -0.14% said in a statement that it originally was approached by Unilever on April 20 with a bid of $61 to $64 per share and the offer was then bumped up to $66 per share on May 1.
Bestfoods termed the offer "inadequate" and that it has "no reason" to consider the offer any further.
Bestfoods, which distributes food to 110 countries and owns brands like Hellmann's mayonnaise and Mazola cooking oil, hit a 52-week low share price of 35 on March 10, but has come back since to close Tuesday at 50 9/16.
Unilever is one of the world's largest packaged consumer-goods companies. It is owned 50-50 by Netherlands-based Unilever N.V. UN, +0.28% and Unilever PLC of the U.K. [s ul]. The companies have a single board of directors and essentially operate as a single entity, although they list their stocks separately, according to Hoover's Online. Both Unilever PLC and Unilever N.V. present the consolidated accounts of Unilever as their respective consolidated accounts.
Unilever recently acquired Slim-Fast Co. for $2.3 billion; and announced a deal to buy ice-cream maker Ben & Jerry's for $326 million.

General Martin Dempsey, 18th Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, noted that the global security environment was the most unpredictable he had seen in his 40 years of service. In the 2015 National Military Strategy, it spoke of a significant increase in global disorder—a world now filled with multiple security challenges from traditional state actors and transregional networks of sub-state groups (National Military Strategy, 2015). Advancements in computing over the past five or six decades have transformed our society from one in which we have seen lives changed through access, innovation, and convenience. We see end-to-end connectivity around the globe; devices that look increasingly less like traditional computing devices, e.g., laptops, desktops, and even personal digital assistants (PDAs); and a world that has become strikingly more intertwined and interdependent.
Much of General Dempsey's view is shared by many, including some organizations, such as the Organization of American States (OAS). Adam Blackwell, Secretary for Multidimensional Security, OAS, noted that 'the Internet has reduced through connectivity the size and separation of the world'. The incorporation of information and computing technologies into devices that no longer resemble traditional computing devices such as laptops, desktops, and personal digital assistants (PDAs) reflecting the Internet of Everything has dramatically altered today's landscape, including:
Changed significantly how information is shared
Revolutionized business processes
Changed the way countries and critical infrastructure are operated (Report on Cybersecurity and Critical Infrastructure in the Americas, 2015)
The pervasiveness of computing within our lives has changed the services and capabilities we expect to be available to us. The role of the critical infrastructure in meeting many of the service needs that we demand has not fully been appreciated in terms of its relevance to the quality of life that we have learned to embrace and demand. The critical infrastructure provides 'critical' services and products that drive and support society, serving as the backbone of a nation's economy, security, and health. In the United States, the critical infrastructure sectors (all 16 of them) consist of the assets, systems, and networks (physical or virtual) considered vital to the nation's interests and survival (Homeland Security, 2015).

It's going to be a rough couple of days. Heavy rain and cool temperatures are in the forecast for this afternoon through Thursday morning. Lovely. I just got in from running the dogs off the ATV. It's raining now, but not too hard.
The sick cat that I took home from Red's is not a happy camper. As I write this, he's howling. He hasn't eaten, which may be a good thing as a fast may be enough to clear his upper respiratory infection. Hopefully he'll settle down in a few days. I could just bring him back up there, but I don't think he'll survive for long. He's a cute cat, marked up like a Border Collie with double paws. It's sad to think about all the lovely cats like him who do not have homes.
I didn't get my cheese mold cut last night so making hard cheese is going to get put off to early next week. According to the recipe, the milk and starter has to sit overnight before you add the rennet so it's a two day process just for the curds to form.
I should clean the house or maybe finish unpacking my winter work clothes and putting away summer clothes, but I don't have a lot of ambition.
I should do a lot of things …
I've been thinking a lot about training my dogs and why I do it. For a long time, I had no interest in training. I don't know why I'm doing it now. Gel is trained well enough to get the job done. With a little bit more work, Fern will be able to as well. Doing the demos at Baa Moo were a rude awakening. Gel can do what I need him to do here, but put him in a new place on less-than-cooperative sheep and his faults are glaringly obvious. I suppose that's the point of doing trials: so you can see where your holes are. There are a few trials coming up in the next couple of months. I might enter Gel. We'll see.
Until later …

The Apple Watch is not the first wrist-worn computing device — the Timex Datalink from 1993 could be programmed using the flickering of light from a personal-computer screen — but it seems to be the first designed to interface with the body, not just eyes and fingers. In his review of the device's first generation, the New York Times's Farhad Manjoo notes that it was quite a transition to use it, but in making it, he found himself less absorbed by the device than extended by it.
Wearable computing has always had at its heart the difference between productivity and augmentation, between making specific tasks easier and giving people new abilities. It is a subtle distinction, until it isn't. A cordless drill lets a worker mount a sheet of drywall much faster; a crane changes how buildings are built and how they can be repaired. Spell-checking fixes your spelling; dictation software spells for you. A constant video log of your life shows you a reality that memory doesn't.
This distinction may be one factor in Apple's excellent run in the last fifteen years, a realization I came to while reading an Economist article about Satya Nadella's changes at Microsoft. We might have had an iPad years sooner, if Microsoft had let it not be a Windows device. Bill Gates's insistence on using the Windows interface as a precondition to all devices finally limited his vision.
Apple's view of device and software as one, complementary and necessarily integrated, freed it to discard old software ideas when building new devices. iOS, the operating system for the iPhone, worked so intuitively that back in 2007 it seemed a little childish, poking icons instead of moving mouse cursors around or keying Alt-F4. What Apple saw was that a touchable screen had made the desktop obsolete, and there was no point in carrying it over. For a watch, the screen is too small to be the whole of the interface, and Apple again designed accordingly.
The wrist-worn computer won't replace the smartphone, any more than a phone is a place to write a novel or update a 600-cell spreadsheet. The trick is to decide from the outset what a device is for, not to shoehorn in what other devices already do.

Written by Scott Campbell, Cumbernauld Media's Senior Reporter.

Red Comyn Kildrum North Lanarkshire Council
Picture: Google Maps.
A PLANNING application that would see last orders called at Kildrum's popular Red Comyn pub is taking widespread criticism from local campaigners, politicians and residents.
North Lanarkshire Council received a planning application that would see the existing pub closed and split into two new units – one of which would be for retail purposes – on December 23rd, 2014. The application was validated on Christmas Eve, when opposition began to rally against the proposals.
A public meeting was held in the pub on January 12, before a local petition circulated local doors and adorned the till-points of various points-of-interest in the area, including the Afton and Clouden Road convenience shops.
On January 14th, a spokesperson for the pub said: "Jim Mulholland has arranged a meeting with Bill Dempsey from Kildrum Community Council, at 6pm, this evening, in the pub."
"We now know that because there are more than 3 objections in that it has to go to hearing at the planning committee," the spokesperson explained. "The earliest that this can happen is 19th February. However, if an objector asks for a site inspection from the planning committee then this will put it back even further, possibly into at least March or April. Further, at the planning meeting a representative can be sent to plead the case also."
The spokesperson confirmed that "Petitions are now in circulation at Clouden Rd, Corbiston way, Braehead Rd and Afton Rd shops. The YMCA have also requested one as have Millcroft shop. Asda have also shown an interest and will have petitions too."
In pleading for more public support, the spokesperson said: "In the pub we have photocopies of a standard letter of complaint as well as envelopes and petitions. If you can think of anywhere else to ask let us know," adding that Jamie Hepburn had been "asked to get involved", while Gregg McClymont had "expressed interest", and Councillor Stephen Grant had "filed a complaint with the council and intends to write to the brewer."
By the end of January, the pub had been overwhelmed with support, but staff urged local residents that everything was 'business as usual' until the "lengthy process between site visits and planning committee hearings" was completed, a post on the pub's Facebook reads.
The following day, Kildrum Community Council confirmed that it would stand against the proposals, with a spokesperson for the Community Council explaining that they would "be submitting a detailed objection to North Lanarkshire Council shortly."
The latest update comes from Kildrum Community Council, with a post on the group's Facebook page yesterday informing local residents that "Despite concerns that the Red Comyn would be able to transfer their existing alcohol licence to the proposed shop, should planning be granted, we have confirmed with the Licensing Board that the shop would have to apply for a new licence to sell alcohol."
"We will continue to work on keeping the Red Comyn open but, should the current planning application be granted, we would have the opportunity to make representations to the Licensing Board to avoid any new shop being granted a licence to sell alcohol," the post added.
Constituency MSP for Cumbernauld and Kilsyth, Jamie Hepburn, has since set out his opposition to the planning application.
When he first learned of this application the local MSP undertook a survey of opinion in the area, which revealed strong levels of local opposition with some 95% of those who responded saying they were against the application.
Following on from the local survey, Mr Hepburn has now made his own submission to the consultation on this application and has called on the Council to reject it.
"The strength of feeling locally on this issue is clear and the majority who have taken the time to contact me are opposed to this move," the SNP man said.
He added: "There are serious concerns about the impact that the loss of this pub would have on the community and social life in the area, and also regarding the proposed replacements.
"There is real concern about having a licenced grocers so close to the play-park and the potential of anti-social behaviour and public drinking.
"On top of that the questions about the impact this would have on existing local businesses of a similar nature have not been addressed.
"While there are a range of views on this matter, some local residents regard this application as a positive opportunity, it is clear to me that this application does not have the support of the local community. On that basis I am calling on the Council to reject this application."

Artcurial will be auctioning 20 works from Tino Rossi's collection. A passionate art lover, musician and friend to artists, Tino Rossi collected art in an eclectic manner, constantly mixing genres and styles. Artcurial will present works from artists such as Eugène Boudin, Alexander Calder as well as Bernard Buffet who Rossi knew personally.
Tino Rossi was an artist who loved artists. In 1982 he said, "An artist is not like another man! It would be wrong however, to think that only the art world can produce one. A workman can be an artist."
Throughout his life, Toni Rossi formed strong friendships with his contemporaries including Marcel Pagnol, Vincent Scotto, Mistinguett and Pablo Picasso. His friendship circles reached out beyond the world of song and music.
"What was quite moving in Tino Rossi's collecting approach was his desire to approach fellow artists of his time. Just like he did with his public, the singer created a relationship based upon emotion, admiration and sharing. This can be seen in the wonderful photo of the moment when Bernard Buffet and Toni Rossi, met. Both men boasted strong personalities and the singer and collector greatly admired the painter," explains Bruno Jaubert, Director of the Impressionist and Modern department at Artcurial.
On a constant quest for beautiful and rare objects, Tino Rossi was captivated by art and used his personal judgement as a guide to acquiring artworks in an eclectic and spontaneous manner. He mixed genres and styles and surrounded himself with pieces by Utrillo, Foujita, Calder and Giacometti. During his concert tours, the singer's favourite paintings would travel with him and decorate his dressing room to calm his nerves before going on stage.
Highlights from the 20 works from the Tino Rossi's collection include: Nature more aux cerises, 1942 by Bernard Buffet which is estimated at €70 000 – 100 000, two works by André Derain, watercolours by Paul Signac, Raoul Dufy and Alexander Calder's Composition, 1956 which is estimated at €50 000 – 70 000.
Artcurial's Impressionist and Modern art evening sale on 7th December is a panorama of artistic creations from the 20th century. Just as the Musée Rodin reopens on 12th November, Artcurial presents two works by his student, Camille Claudel. The two bronze statues which will be included are L'abandon, which is estimated at €600 000 – 800 000, and La valse estimated at €700 000 – 900 000. Made in 1895, La valse is one of the sculptor's most daring and personal works and is breathtaking and intriguing from all angles.
The sale will also feature one of Pierre Bonnard's most intimate paintings, La jeune fille à l'estampe japonaise in which the artist chose to honour women. The artist plays upon light and shadow, gracious lines on her face and gentle colour tones to carefully depict his subject. Even if the young lady remains anonymous, she appears to be familiar.
From 19th July to 1st August 1944, Pablo Picasso painted 14 works featuring the same motif of a glass, lemon and jug. When Picasso exhibited his still life series at the Salon d'automne in 1944, he unleashed a real scandal. Artcurial will be showing the last work from the Glass and Jug series which was also the most radical. The painting was dedicated to the poet and artist friend of Picasso, Georges Hugnet.
This sculpture by Antoine Pevsner entitled Construction spatiale aux troisième et quatrième dimensions is one of the artists most well known and distinctive works. This piece by one of the leading abstract scuptors of the 20th century, was the second to last sculpture made before his death. Antoine Pevsner gave it to the art critic René Massat as a gift. An original example of this piece can be found at the Centre Georges Pompidou and four other monumental versions are housed in collections in Chicago, The Hague, Princeton and Geneva.

The first cotton bloom reported to the Town Crier for the 2011 growing season came from the Hicks Farm. It was found on June 28 south of Manila on dry land. The DP&L-0920 was planted on April 30.
Jimmy Hicks said with the weather this year cotton stages have been stretched. The Hicks is a family farming operation with brothers Jimmy and Paul Wayne and the next generation, Bubba Hicks, Aaron Master, and Jairus Hicks working together. They have 2,300 acres of cotton this year.
Pictured are Trey Hicks and Aidan Master with the cotton blooms.

Jazzanooga is presenting a newly created program that celebrates the rich history and cultural impact of the thearical and musical experiences written by and about African Americans.
The series presents equal parts live entertainment and education through high quality performances featuring our local and talented artists of color in an intimate cabaret style.
We are proud to present as our first of four installments for 2018 the songs from the Super Soul Musical, THE WIZ!!
Broadway history was made forty years ago when the cast and crew of The Wiz: The Supersoul Musical 'Wizard of Oz' received 9 Tony nominations and 8 wins.
The production was led and performed by African Americans, all of whom shared the honors of winning the 1975 Tony for Best Musical.
The Wiz was also groundbreaking for its adaptation of L. Frank Baum's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (1900) as a tale that celebrates African American street style as a unique subculture and unapologetically American way of life. The song lyrics, script, sets, and costumes all reference and champion the struggles and triumphs of African Americans. - National Museum of African American History & Culture

The spirit of the black individual is what our young must become of note to regard.
If not for the early Africans who knew farming, as well as other living resource management skills. America would not have risen in economic stature to the level it did within such a short span of global life cycle timing.
There was no skill that was beyond the black individual, many advancement were engineered by many of the blacks within the early days of America and still to this date, our ability of innovation is of great quality.
Our cultural choice to not utilize the English language becomes our challenge point.
Language was used to bring about separation from the economic modeling and the advent of the claim of professionalism, as well as it was structured to usher denials unto the black individual. To further confound the black individual, English was the claimed language of the land, yet, as a culture we were denied the ability to learn and chastised if we spoke to fluently the verbiage of the English language with clarity.
To make the challenge more daunting, in each design of profession, English words were quickly converted to Latin and Greek words put forth in a disjunctive array of syllogisms.
thus the combining of statements, became a challenge point for the black individual who had not been afforded to learn the English terms, which were quickly supplanted with Latin and Greek terms.. Thus the use of language became the bulwark of protections for the whites to guard against the black individual engaging the communion of subject matter. This became more dominant in the usage when Law is brought to topic, as so when Medicine is brought to topic.
All the sciences were flitted with Latin terminology. For Generations this process was an assurance that information and knowledge could be shared among whites with a structured guard against the black individual from engaging the topic or gathering an understood flow of the topic discussion.
The same is applied with regard to economic models.
To our own challenge, we must move to learn not only the language of English meanings, but how that relates to the conversed replacement with the interjection of Latin terms.
To the betterment of our segment of society,we must have voice and speak words with clarity. We need not pose contempt nor become confounded, but to be expressive with the command of the English wording in conveying our thoughts and expressed feeling. Unfortunately, we allow ourselves to choose the usage of slang, accompanied by the reluctance to make use of words that convey ideals not just responsive expressions which often times result to be of a defensive tonality. Other words chosen come as a manner of diminishing rather than expanding our presence and assuring our clarity if put forth with confidence in our ideas and represent our ideals.
Rare in this society is a well spoken black individual pushed to the back with the same force that a poorly spoken black individual, who by the lack of choice to utilize the English wording becomes not only ignored but disregarded.
During Slavery, the denial of speaking ones native tongue was enacted with brute force. The denial of being afforded the means to learn collectively the English language was equally so enacted with brute force.
As of this very day – We rise by the use of words and speaking the language in clarity. It is by the voice that doors become opened.
One may speak on any profession if first they learn the terminology that governs the discussion which bring forth the sharing of knowledge in any respective class and category of profession.
We can look at History and Know of many elements and factors, but we are overlooking the most basic tool we must utilize. Our voice, by the usage of the language of the land.
It is by Word's that we learn of God.. It is "The Word" of God that enlightens us, thus we must become aware of the value and meaning of 'Words"…

'Elimination Of Discrimination Against Women'
The Bermuda Government has formally requested the UK to take the necessary steps to have the Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination against Women [CEDAW] extended to Bermuda, Minister of Social Development and Sports Sylvan Richards said in the House of Assembly today [Feb 10].
Minister Richards said, "I note that on Monday February 6th 2017 Honourable Premier Michael Dunkley presented a letter of request to have CEDAW extended to Right Honourable Baroness Anelay, the UK Minister of State of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office responsible for the Overseas Territories.
Tweet sent by Baroness Anelay:
"CEDAW is the landmark international agreement that affirms principles of fundamental human rights and equality for women around the world and is often referred to as the 'women's bill of rights'.
"It is one of the core international human rights treaties of the United Nations treaty system, which requires member states to undertake legal obligations to respect, protect and fulfill human rights."
The Minister's full statement follows below:
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to inform Honourable Members of this House that the Bermuda Government has formally requested the United Kingdom to take the necessary steps to have the Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination against Women – commonly referred to as CEDAW – extended to Bermuda. In this regard, I note that on Monday February 6th 2017 Honourable Premier Michael Dunkley presented a letter of request to have CEDAW extended to Right Honourable Baroness Anelay, the UK Minister of State of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office responsible for the Overseas Territories.
Mr. Speaker, CEDAW is the landmark international agreement that affirms principles of fundamental human rights and equality for women around the world and is often referred to as the 'women's bill of rights'. It is one of the core international human rights treaties of the United Nations treaty system, which requires member states to undertake legal obligations to respect, protect and fulfill human rights.
Mr. Speaker, CEDAW was adopted by the UN General Assembly on December 19th 1979, coming into force as a treaty on December 3rd 1981. Today, CEDAW is one of the most widely endorsed human rights treaties and has been ratified or acceded to by 189 countries to date, including the United Kingdom [UK] who signed the treaty in July 1981 and ratified CEDAW in 1986. Three [3] British Overseas Territories, namely British Virgin Islands; Turks & Caicos Islands; and the Falkland Islands, had the Convention extended in 1986. Two [2] further Overseas Territories, Anguilla and Cayman Islands, had CEDAW extended in March 2016.
Mr. Speaker, the articles of CEDAW fall into three main groups: the first set of articles explains the nature and scope of the state's obligations; the second set of articles targets specific forms of discrimination and outlines measures that the state must undertake to eliminate discrimination in each of these areas; and the last set of articles governs procedural and administrative matters, including the CEDAW reporting process.
Mr. Speaker, the Convention defines discrimination against women as "…any distinction, exclusion or restriction made on the basis of sex which has the effect or purpose of impairing or nullifying the recognition, enjoyment or exercise by women, irrespective of their marital status, on a basis of equality of men and women, of human rights and fundamental freedoms in the political, economic, social, cultural, civil or any other field."
Mr. Speaker, countries that have ratified, acceded to, or have had CEDAW extended are legally obligated to work towards implementing its provisions and are also committed to monitoring and reporting on the measures they have taken to comply with their treaty obligations.
Mr. Speaker, in 2014 the UK Government commenced a project focusing on the work required to take forward the extension of CEDAW to outstanding overseas territories in accordance with recommendations from the UN CEDAW Committee. The UK Government Equalities Office [GEO] developed a CEDAW compliance template to assist the overseas territories in gathering and submitting the relevant evidence. This consisted of a number of thematically organised indicators of compliance, drawn from CEDAW's substantive Articles and the Committee's General Recommendations. The thirteen [13] themes pertained to: civil legal matters; criminal legal matters; discrimination; health; nationality; education; trafficking and exploitation; rural women; migrant women; governance; family life; political and public life; and employment. Once Bermuda completed these templates they were sent for review to the UK Government which determined that Bermuda was in a good position to request that CEDAW be extended.
Mr. Speaker, when governments become parties to a convention, they can identify that they will not be bound to particular elements of that treaty. This is known as "entering a reservation", and is permitted under article 28 of CEDAW. In undertaking the compliance work necessary to determine whether Bermuda is ready for the extension of CEDAW, the Ministry of Social Development and Sports and the Attorney-General's Chambers determined that two [2] Reservations would be necessary.
Mr. Speaker, the two [2] Reservations relate to Article 1 and Article 15[4] of the Convention. Article 1 of CEDAW defines discrimination – which I described a few minutes ago – and Article 15[4] states that "countries shall accord to men and women the same rights with regard to the law relating to the movement of persons and the freedom to choose their residence and domicile."
Mr. Speaker, the first Reservation will preserve the position whereby Bermuda can continue to conscript only male recruits to the Royal Bermuda Regiment and that religious organisations would not be compelled to have women priests. The second Reservation will preserve the right of the existing constitutional and immigration provisions, which have the effect of discriminating against a Bermudian woman married to a non-Bermudian husband, due to the lesser rights granted to a non-Bermudian man compared to a non-Bermudian woman married to a Bermudian man.
To elaborate Mr. Speaker, section 11[2][d] of the Bermuda Constitution imposes restrictions on the movement or residence within Bermuda of any person who does not belong to Bermuda. Under section 11[5][c] a foreign national wife belongs to Bermuda if, by decree of a court or a deed of separation, she does not live apart from a husband who possesses Bermudian status, or a husband who has been granted a certificate of naturalization. However, section 11[5][c] does not apply to the foreign national husband of a wife who possesses Bermudian status. Section 27a of the Bermuda Immigration and Protection Act 1956 provides for an additional condition to apply to the foreign national husband of a wife who possesses Bermudian status in order for him to remain and reside in Bermuda, i.e. that he has no relevant convictions.
Mr. Speaker, while the Government recognizes and intends to address this inequality in due course, it was determined that the appropriate course of action is to have the Convention extended now and work towards removing this Reservation. As CEDAW is an aspirational treaty Bermuda must and will focus on improving gender equality to ensure that women and girls enjoy the same access to opportunities and benefits in every aspect of life.
Mr. Speaker, as an Overseas Territory of the United Kingdom, Bermuda will be required to take the UK's reservations. The Attorney-General's Chambers have reviewed the UK's reservations and determined that there is no legal impediment, nor will there be any negative impact in doing so.
Mr. Speaker, although the work on completing the UK compliance templates commenced in 2014, considerable time and effort has been expended by a number of persons over the past 15 years in working towards having CEDAW extended, and I congratulate all those involved. Once the Convention has been extended, work will begin on identifying areas of policy and legislation to enhance Bermuda's compliance with CEDAW.
Thank you Mr. Speaker

So they are seeking to stop discriminating against women, but want to continue discriminating against men who they may want to conscript and women married to a foreigner, for a while at least.
They have just reinforced the discrimination. Shame on them. Why the difference in treatment of foreign spouses?
And how LGBQ… girl/boy/girlboy/boygirl/non-binary friends or unmarried partners have had all immigration and work permit rules tossed out the window, for them only, because the judge felt they had been discriminated against as far as I remember, strange world this.
It is set out in our Constitution, unfortunately. It is found in the way "belonger" is used in the document. It is not easily changed and needs to be redone in a full Constitutional conference.
Let us take a good look at when and where discrimination against women began. Then we can have a clear understanding of how to end ALL discrimination!!! Historical reality may not be pleasant and accepting for some but the truth shall set us free!!
Bermuda is such a racist country, this don't make no sense.
There is such a long way to go to healing.
1st the oppressor has to admit the oppression and help find a a resolve. But this will never happen.
I know it got worse when the plp.got in.
IDIOT, who sold who ????????
So it's simple for us to do this, but not the convention that would allow for us to drive in Massachusetts.
There goes the historical discriminatory mindset that thinks its more important to drive in Boston than to not discriminate against a woman.
That's one way to spin my comments I guess.
It is for this woman….
And marraige equality is another can they kick up and down the road
Just to clarify, women are already protected wrt equal pay under the Human Rights Act (1981)

Gran Canaria The Six Second Pour
Do you know what a six second pour is? If you don't then perhaps you should go on a cheap Gran Canaria holiday and watch the bar staff. They pour large measures there, but that not the only reason to visit the beautiful islands off the north coast of Africa. There is some quite drastic scenery and the people there welcome you with smiles and laughter when you visit. Gran Canaria weather is hot and dry. It's guaranteed winter sun for us who live in Northern Europe and it's only a four hour flight from London.
Staying at the Marina Suites, in Puerto Rico, we had an excellent four days soaking up the rays on the black sand beaches of this volcanic isle. People are pretty laid back in Gran Canaria, and I prefer it to Tenerife, it just seems classier.
If you are in Puerto Rico, you could be forgiven for feeling like you're in Blackpool if you're walking through the main streets. There's certainly a lot of lights at night, but the views of the hillside apartments and hotels in Puerto Rico at night is awesome. Especially when you see it for the first time.
Hotels in Gran Canaria are very reasonably priced, and you can get some great deals online. We booked our stay and it worked out around £90 for 3 nights 4 star which we thought was brilliant.
Flights to Gran Canaria
Our flights to Gran Canaria were provided by Easyjet this time around, however you can fly Monarch and other airlines if you wish. We flew from Gatwick airport and the flight time there and back was around four hours. The Easyjet plane on the way there was fine, however on the way back discomfort seemed to be the watchword. Don't know why but the seats were pretty uncomfortable.
The days we spent on the beach or by the pool. The evenings we spent wandering around the port, taking in the night life. Being not such party animals anymore, the highlight was being able to lie on the beach with some drinks and just chat, listening to the ocean waves aand watching skinny dippers in the cold water (Caribbean sea temperatures it ain't).
Places To Eat Puerto Rico
For me, the primo place to eat in Puerto Rico is Oscar's Del Puerto (The upstairs one, there are two). This is a great place with absolutely excellent food. Whilst we were happy to eat breakfast at the Marina Suites, our first lunch there was disappointing. During the day, it's hot so you don't much feel like eating lots of food, but for the evening meal with wine and so forth, Oscars is so far the best I have tasted there.
The waiting staff there are very knowledgeable about the menu. The wine list, whilst not exhaustive, has some little gems and I would highly recommend the Grilled Garlic prawns or the Deep Fried Camembert which is excellent. Staff are brilliant and really make you feel comfortable and welcome. If you do venture to Oscar's try the Chateaubriand. So succulent and flavoursome.
Gran Canaria weather will always keep me coming back for a weekend here or there every year. Puerto Rico is a great place to chill out, however next time I hope to rent a car and go exploring some of the more mountainous areas. Cheap Gran Canaria holidays are not as easy to find as they were a few years ago, but it's still worth every penny
Puerto Rico Gran Canaria /
Good choice of hotel and restaurant, you picked the best of puerto rico.

News Movies | Written by Andrew Pollard 06/09/2013
Movie News: Marvel Looking to Make a Female-Led Film?
There's been quite a few films from Marvel Studios over the last few years, with plenty more planned for the next few years. One thing that all films have in common, they all tend to have penis-wielding heroes in the lead roles. Iron Man? Male. Captain America? Male. Thor? Male? Hulk? Male. Whilst Scarlet Johansson's Black Widow was a key part of AVENGERS ASSEMBLE, she still had to share screen-time with the rest of the Avengers team. Director/producer Louis D'Esposito has been speaking to ComingSoon.net about possibly developing some Marvel properties with female leads.
D'Esposito said, "There's obviously a drumbeat that is banging louder and louder that we want a female lead superhero. We have strong female characters in our films from Black Widow to Pepper Potts to Pegg Carter and you never know. Maybe there's an offshoot film with one of them. Or Captain Marvel, you know?"
In terms of a time-frame for a female-led film, D'Esposito added, "It's hard, because we have a small group at Marvel. We do two films a year. To get those two films done and to do them right takes a lot of work and manpower. And female-power, obviously. To add a third film and to just put it in the slate right now is difficult. We have these next three, four, five films coming out and that's what we're really concentrating on."
So whilst we may not see any female-led films in the near-future, it appears that there's at least been discussions. In terms of characters that Marvel/Disney can draw from, Ms. Marvel, now known as Captain Marvel, is likely the best bet, and she's also been rumoured to be getting her own film for the last few years. One strong female character that we will likely see in the next few years is The Wasp, who will likely be a part of Edgar Wright's ANT-MAN.
Here's hoping we get some more Marvel ladies at some point.

Synopsis for "The Night Phantom Walks!"Edit
In Haiti, Night Phantom conducts a destructive campaign against construction and power plants, including Tony Stark's Project Caribbean. Although reluctant to visit Haiti because Janice Cord is there visiting family friend Travis Hoyt, Stark investigates. With police representative Inspector Christophe, he peruses the remains of Project Caribbean, but Night Phantom attacks them. Happening upon the scene, Janice takes Stark to Hoyt's house, while Christophe pursues Night Phantom. Hoyt, embittered against technology after a crippling accident, drives Stark away. Janice's resultant quarrel with Hoyt culminates in him abducting her through a subterranean passage. Janice dislodges what proves to be a plastic mask of Hoyt's original face, revealing Hoyt as Night Phantom. Telling his origin, he adds that his sabotage campaign is intended to prevent recent construction from causing the underground pool to drain away. Arriving at the pool, where he previously imprisoned Christophe, he tries to immerse Janice. However, Iron Man, who tracked signs of Night Phantom's struggle with Christophe, bursts in and attacks. Hoping to gain more power, Night Phantom dives into the pool, but the already weakened ground collapses beneath him, and he is pulled underground with the last of the waters.

I had an MBA class where we were given 40 minutes to create an 8 minute report on Zappos operations capabilities. Luckily, Ben from Zappos customer service answered and gave me all the answers necessary.

What's "news" is all too often bad. Political corruption, rising taxes, murders, fatal car accidents, suicides — you name it. At the editor's desk in the office of any community newspaper, you see it all. Sometimes, it's hard to decide what to do with some of the stuff that lands in your e-mail in-box or comes in across the fax machine. And contrary to popular opinion about modern-day media, we do give these things long, hard thought. Every story and picture we print can have an effect — sometimes a really big one — on somebody in our community, be it a neighbor, a member of our church congregation, the friend of a friend, or a total stranger. We recognize this and take very seriously our duty to be accurate and fair — and sensitive.
Last year, at the National Newspaper Association conference in Milwaukee, I picked up a copy of a book whose title intrigued me, "Bad News and Good Judgment: A Guide to Reporting on Sensitive Issues in a Small-Town Newspaper," by Jim Pumarlo. It's an instructive little handbook on best practices for small-town-newspaper editors faced with tough decisions about whether and/or how to report on difficult events and circumstances. I've read and reread it, taking away and putting into practice some key points about using good judgment when reporting bad news close to home.
Here are the basics. Establish clear policies about reporting this kind of news — including reporting suicides or suspensions of high school athletes, for example, or publishing photos of fatal car accidents. Be aware of the effect your news reporting may have on people's lives, and act with appropriate care in researching, reporting and writing sensitive stories. Explain your newsroom decisions to your paper's readers.
Mr. Pumarlo was a workshop presenter at the N.Y. Press Association convention two weeks ago — you know, the convention where the Sun was crowned top weekly newspaper in the state, something I was gloating about in this space last week? I eagerly took advantage of the opportunity to hear him speak about "bad news and good judgment."
Then I came home to SunLand and blew it. Big time.
In my zeal to show off how well the Sun did in the Press Association's 2006 Better Newspaper Contest, I violated some basic principles when I decided to reprint a photo of a fatal car crash originally published Sept. 15, 2006. The scene depicted in the photo — a very unusual single-car accident in which a car became airborne and crashed into the second story of a garden apartment building in Coram, killing the driver — was news when it happened, and, as such, we were correct to print it at the time.
We reprinted it last week just to show a photo that won a first place award for "spot news" in the contest. The scene it depicted was no longer news; reprinting it simply to show our readers what won the Sun a photography award in the contest was, in a word, wrong.
I soon heard from relatives of Vincent Pontillo, the crash victim, decrying my decision to reprint that photo. A letter from the sister of Mr. Pontillo, Laura Kraus-Johnson, appears on page 8. Ms. Kraus-Johnson wrote to me to express her dismay and disappointment; I asked her permission to print the letter, because I believe its message is important and I believe my action warrants a public apology to Ms. Kraus-Johnson and the rest of Mr. Pontillo's family.
Reprinting that photo demonstrated insensitivity and poor judgment on my part. I am, as I've expressed to Mr. Pontillo's family members, deeply sorry.
The photograph — a picture the contest judges called "amazing" and "spectacular" — depicted a horrific accident that took the life of a 43-year-old Mount Sinai man. He was a gentle, family-oriented guy with a great sense of humor, his sister told me this week. His tragic death was a life-altering event for his mother and four siblings, his longtime girlfriend, Cathy, his seven nieces and nephews, and large extended family. He was, Ms. Kraus-Johnson said, an all-around good guy, loved by many.
I'll never know Mr. Pontillo, of course. But I have a sense of what he was like from my brief encounter with his older sister — not just by her words, but by her behavior. She didn't want to berate or reprimand me; she only wanted me to understand how she felt. At the same time, she understood and accepted how badly I felt about it. She taught me a lesson in sensitivity — and forgiveness — hard to glean from any book, and one I'll not soon forget.

Head coach of Niger Tornadoes, Abubakar Bala, has vowed to work on his team's defensive problems and mental toughness, following their 2-1 defeat at Shooting Stars last weekend.
Faleye put the hosts ahead, before Ammeh Wilfred equalized for Tornadoes. Asiri Emmanuel eventually clinched a late winner for Fatai Amoo's side at the Sani Abacha Stadium.
Bala lamented his side's wastefulness in front of goal, but insists they will correct those mistakes beginning with the clash against Kano Pillars in Lokoja.
"We gave everything but I'm disappointed in our result against Shooting Stars," Bala told Goal.
"We have so many chances to score in the first half but we could not utilize them. We fought to get back into the game if we had scored from those chances. It would have been a different story.
"I have to correct the situation where we concede late goals, this is becoming a tradition. I will have to fix it.
"We conceded at home against Sunshine Stars and also did same with Lobi Stars. I have to find a solution to this problem."

Michael Winterbottom's The Face of an Angel is a mess of tones, but not of ideas, which could well sum up the director's prodigious but uneven oeuvre. Much like Steven Soderbergh, at least until his recent "retirement," Winterbottom seems driven by quantity over quality, directing one or even two films a year at a clip comparable only to Woody Allen. The Face of an Angel finds him in a reflexive directorial mode, examining not just divides between reality and representation (one of his pet interests), but the psychological burden entailed in being called to diagnose cultural woes via a real-life post mortem. Thomas (Daniel Brühl) is a filmmaker hired to adapt a piece of true-crime nonfiction, written by Simone (Kate Beckinsale), about the murder of a young woman, Elizabeth (Sai Bennett), at the hands of three, convicted suspects. Thomas becomes obsessed not only with discovering the truth, but finding a narrative model that could serve Elizabeth some degree of justice and credence in death.
The film is based on a book by Barbie Latza Nadeau detailing the 2007 abduction and murder of Meredith Kercher. All of this could be played much heavier and more gruesome than Winterbottom opts for, though the film isn't without ham-fisted renderings, including a recurring vision Thomas has in which a young girl is playing on a beach, replete with ethereal hymns on the soundtrack. She appears to be an imagined version of Elizabeth as an adolescent—not Thomas's actual daughter, with whom he Skypes regularly while in Siena, Italy researching for the film. These would be thoroughly silly machinations were The Face of an Angel not busy constructing deeper parallels simultaneously. When Thomas meets Melanie (Cara Delevingne), a young local, she becomes the third piece in an increasingly troubling identity crisis for Thomas, whose role as father, lover, and caretaker are being rolled into a singular, potentially perverse manifestation. Winterbottom compounds this through Thomas's sexual relationship with Simone, adding a fourth, angelic face to his compendium of tangible nightmares.
Thomas is also going through a divorce, something his colleagues consistently, often incidentally, remind him of. But he's focused on the work at hand; at a dinner with close friend Roxanna (Nikki Amuka-Bird), he reveals he's thinking of "using the shape" of Dante's Divine Comedy as the structure for his film. When Thomas says that Dante was "a man in the middle of his life who lost his way," he's not just speaking of Dante, but also himself and also Winterbottom—at least, such anxieties accompany the ecstasy of influence, where the command to do something small inevitably turns into a work that's grandiose and overreaching.
The same problems plague the protagonist of 2002's Adaptation.; his writing pursuits drive him to near insanity and, eventually, land him in a thriller akin to those he bemoans. Winterbottom lacks the absurdist wit of Charlie Kaufman and Spike Jonze, but his convictions are legitimate, especially as the film begins to catalogue various cinematic forbearers, chopping bits and pieces of films ranging from Tenebre to Mystic River without batting an eye. Yet Winterbottom isn't interested in stitching them into a seamless new form; he prefers a messier, shaggier dog of a thriller.
The Face of an Angel jam-packs multiple aesthetic models into one. The film begins as a giallo, with Thomas functioning similarly to the David Hemmings character in Deep Red. That would be a single track for Winterbottom to take, which would likely mean a film considered to be, at the very least, accessible and tight. That seems to be Winterbottom's point (one of many): When Thomas is told by production execs that they want a "true-crime thriller," it's an impossible task for him, as he's incapable of thinking through a project without splintering it in at least a dozen different directions, partly out of reverence for his subject, but more damningly, out of an inability to wrangle his own ego.
Winterbottom functions similarly, especially as the details of his own film become increasingly unhinged. Suffering from insomnia, Thomas starts doing cocaine to stay awake; he even does a line immediately following a Skype session with his daughter. He dreams of being chased by a monster in an alley and sees Melanie take a bite out of a beating heart. Midway through the film, Thomas says his own film will be "a dream or a nightmare," as if the two are synonymous. Perhaps they are for Winterbottom, who's made a film that plays reasonably as the true-crime thriller many will be expecting, but more overtly as a genuine attempt to construct a philosophical treatise tinged with elements of self-diagnosis.

Markets Are Wrongly Discounting Trade Risks
(Bloomberg Opinion) -- U.S. financial markets seem unfazed by a sequence of negative developments on the trade front. The May 17 date set by Paul Ryan, speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, for Congress to approve a revised North American Free Trade Agreement has passed with no resolution. The European Union, a major U.S. ally, resents the June 1 deadline President Donald Trump has set for imposing tariffs on steel and aluminum unless the EU accepts reduced export quotas.
Perhaps most important, Trump said last week that he doubts trade negotiations with China will succeed. He had demanded that China's trade surplus with the U.S. be reduced sharply from $375 billion to $175 billion, a target that the Chinese authorities have not been willing to meet, we learned Sunday. The two sides have avoided a trade war so far, U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said in a television interview Sunday, but they still seem far apart in their positions. Failure of talks could still prompt China to impose countervailing duties on U.S. agricultural exports, and limit the activities of companies such as Apple and Google that have major operations in that country.
Yet this month's rebound in equities and surge in U.S. Treasury yields suggest that investors are sanguine about these storm signals. Instead, they are comforted by the robust corporate earnings picture as well as the Federal Reserve's optimistic outlook.
Why is the consensus so positive on the economic outlook? First, the Trump administration dismantled many of the cumbersome regulations governing businesses enacted under the Obama administration soon after taking office in January 2017. Markets greeted that move with an increase in valuations. This was followed by lower tax rates on corporate income and foreign profits repatriated back into the U.S. The extent of increase in corporate bottom lines in the first quarter of this year was a positive surprise.
But now, U.S. officials face trade battles on three fronts with each of its adversaries threatening to target select U.S. exports. More than $1 trillion in goods and services annually pass through the U.S., Canada and Mexico under the aegis of Nafta. The EU as a region imported $282 billion from the U.S. in 2017, matching Canada as the top buyer of American goods and services. And China, the world's top exporter, is arguably also the foreign country providing the greatest growth opportunity for U.S. companies.
While markets anticipated the positive impact on valuations from the deregulatory moves and the reduction in tax rates, there has not been a similar recognition of the perils of a potential trade war. Retaliatory tariffs, or limits on U.S. corporate activity in domestic markets, are likely to have an adverse impact on the U.S. economy and markets in two principal ways.
The first would be through trade diversion affecting, for example, aircraft and soybeans, the two principal U.S. exports to China. The increase in the landed cost of aircraft would make it cheaper for Chinese airlines to purchase equipment from the Europe-based Airbus rather than Boeing. Similarly, Argentina and Brazil might be able to sell soybeans at a lower cost to Chinese buyers than Illinois or Iowa. The U.S. trade deficit could actually expand, rather than shrink.
There would also be a secondary impact on wages and overall economic growth as the affected U.S. companies lose market share in important foreign destinations. Export sectors typically pay better wages than those oriented toward the domestic economy because the former tend to be more capital-intensive, thereby raising the productivity of labor. A drop in wages and employment in the export sector will put the Trump administration's 3 percent economic growth target beyond reach.
If any of these risks actually occur, investors would be holding equities priced too richly and high-grade fixed-income instruments such as Treasuries would be attractive hiding places at current yields. It would be reckless to ignore the headwinds. The time to shift to a more defensive stance is now, since none of the threatened Trump tariffs has gone into effect. Strategies that favor preservation of capital over risk is the right way to go.

NEW PORT RICHEY, Fla. -- New Port Richey family restaurant owners were devastated to find their new business damaged following a drunken overnight crash.
Surveillance video captured the exact moment a truck crashed into the side of City Subs and More early Sunday morning.
What makes the already heart-wrenching surveillance video even worse is the truck not only slamming into the building once, but twice. The driver put the truck into reverse and slammed into the building a second time before taking off.
WATCH: Surveillance video captures exact moment drunk driver crashes into family restaurant
"He crashed into the building, backed up, couldn't straighten the steering wheel, hit it again. Then he backs up finally and runs off, he almost hit our patio poles, then he goes down the street. I guess he lost control down the street because he knocked out power to about 3,000 people," restaurant owner, Jimmy Kaptapnopolus, said.
Police say DUI suspect, 65-year-old Jerry Jokisch, was later discovered by police after passing out behind the wheel at the light pole.
"Luckily, we are closed on Sundays or else someone could have gotten seriously hurt. Exactly where the truck hit is where I park my motorcycle every day when I'm there," Kaptapnopolus added.
Jokisch is currently being treated for his injuries at a nearby hospital.
According to the owners, the family opened the business just seven months ago.
The restaurant is part of the historical buildings in New Port Richey and is located at 5446 Grand Blvd.
