Mothers Day exists as a result of a daughter's determination. Anna Jarvis wanted to pay tribute to her mother, Mrs Anna M Jarvis and all other mothers of the world. But please, no flowers or presents.

Jarvis dedicated her life to fulfill her mothers dream of the recognition of day for honoring mothers. She was never a mother, but The Mother of all of Mother's Day, is a fitting title to define the remarkable woman's ceaseless devotion to her mother and motherhood in general.

There are very few bipartisan issues in Washington, DC, but supporting our military veterans has always been one and rightfully so.

US lawmakers from both sides of the isle are responding in reports that in the state of Arizona, there may be a pattern of mismanagement and negligence providing healthcare to American veterans.

US Congress has issued two Obama administration cabinet members with subpoenas. Secretary of State John Kerry was told to appear before the House Oversight Committee to testify about the 2012 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya.

COMPENSATION EQUALITY

Submitted by ub on

The Equal Pay Act requires that men and women in the same workplace be given equal pay for equal work. The jobs need not be identical, but they must be substantially equal. Job content (not job titles) determines whether jobs are substantially equal. All forms of pay are covered by this law, including salary, overtime pay, bonuses, stock options, profit sharing and bonus plans, life insurance, vacation and holiday pay, cleaning or gasoline allowances, hotel accommodations, reimbursement for travel expenses, and benefits. If there is an inequality in wages between men and women, employers may not reduce the wages of either sex to equalize their pay.

Playland bills itself as "America's Premier Playground". Playland evolved into much more than amusement rides and became a place to see circus acts, to dance under the stars, to win a new car, and crown the most beautiful baby in Westchester county.

With the boardwalk complete and the grounds spruced up, Rye Playland is set to open on 5/10.
For the first few days, unlimited rides will cost $15, and tickets go on sale at 10:30 a.m. The rain date for opening day is one week later on May 17.
