Upon addressing the meeting, NA Chairman Hue said that along with efforts to successfully organise the NA’s 11th session, which is the last of the 14th tenure, preparations for the elections of deputies to the 15th legislature and all-level People’s Councils for the 2021 to 2026 tenure have been underway since the NEC’s fourth session. The responsibility of the NEC is to both direct and guide the organisation of elections of deputies to the 15th NA and People's Councils at all levels for the 2021 to 2026 term, in accordance with the law. This therefore serves to make the process safe, economical, and democratic as a means of electing those who are truly competent and worthy of the confidence of citizens. These efforts will ultimately make the election on May 23 a true festival for the entire population, NA Chairman Hue added. … [Read more...] about Top Vietnamese legislator chairs fifth session of National Election Council

NA Chairman chairs National Election Council’s fifth session
Speaking at the event, Hue said that along with efforts to successfully organise the NA’s 11th session – the last of the 14th tenure, preparations for the elections of deputies to the 15th legislature and all-level People’s Councils in the 2021-2026 tenure have been actively made since the NEC’s 4th session. Offices in charge of the elections have been set up, documents guiding the elections issued, personnel work preparations stepped up, and dissemination works intensified, he stated. As the remaining workload remains huge, the council’s leader requested that the NEC work to ensure democracy and law abidance during the organisation of elections so that really competent deputies who can represent people’s right to mastery are elected.

Kate Garraway likens Derek’s return home to bringing back a newborn for the first time as she’s left ‘overwhelmed’
KATE Garraway likened husband Derek's return home to bringing back a newborn for the first time. Hosting Good Morning Britain today alongside Susanna Reid, Kate revealed she was "overwhelmed and over the moon" to have Derek home after his year-long hospital stay. She said: "I want to thank you so much for your incredible messages. Derek came home Wednesday evening. We sort of feel over the moon and overwhelmed in equal measure. It is quite an overwhelming responsibility. "Do you remember the day you bring home your firstborn, and you've been planning for nine months, you get home and think 'what the heck do we do now?' Completely overwhelming and wonderful." Derek was left in a coma for months after being ravaged by coronavirus complications that caused his organs to shut down. It is hoped the return home and the regular stimulation of his family will help aid Derek's recovery. Kate continued: "And they [kids] have been absolutely loving it and been really helpful. … [Read more...] about Kate Garraway likens Derek’s return home to bringing back a newborn for the first time as she’s left ‘overwhelmed’
The Power of Breasts
The gorgeous cover Source: Pegasus Books I was late to everything, it seems. I didn't get my period until I was 15 and I always cheated on those sheets the girls passed around in class that said, "What goes at the end of a sentence AND did you get it yet?" But I was way behind wearing a bra, too, and the subject of great mockery because I had no strap that boys could snap. Instead, I had "gro-bras" (What a name!), size 32 AAAA, which was just a sheet of stretchy fabric. Yeah, breasts mattered. But then, of course, I grew up, and as soon as I hit my twenties, I was small enough so that I could appreciate my ballerina like body and stop wearing a bra altogether, and I have never looked back. HOW NOT TO BE A ROLE MODEL 2013 Mom, can I get breast implants?” The words made me freeze in my desk chair. I struggled to compose my face into a benign expression before swiveling to greet Chloe in the doorway of my home office. “Hi, hon,” I said, pausing so she could see … [Read more...] about The Power of Breasts
Greensill: Gordon Brown suggests ex-PMs should be banned from lobbying for five years
Gordon Brown has suggested former prime ministers should be banned from lobbying on behalf of businesses for five years after leaving Downing Street. The ex-Labour premier proposed such a measure if existing rules can't be tightened to stop departed ministers from lobbying for commercial purposes. It follows the actions of Mr Brown 's predecessor as prime minister, David Cameron , who approached serving ministers and officials about the involvement of Greensill Capital in government-backed financial support schemes during the coronavirus crisis. What is the lobbying scandal and why is David Cameron involved? After weeks of silence, Mr Cameron this weekend finally commented on the matter and accepted there were "important lessons to be learnt", although he stressed he had broken "no codes of conduct and no government rules". Asked about Mr Cameron's remarks, Mr Brown told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "I can't comment on the individual … [Read more...] about Greensill: Gordon Brown suggests ex-PMs should be banned from lobbying for five years
