Several readers have shared a report about publishing industry's new gamble to drive people to buy physical copies of books: making the books much tinier. From the report: As a physical object and a feat of technology, the printed book is hard to improve upon. Apart from minor cosmetic tweaks, the form has barely evolved since the codex first arose as an appealing alternative to scrolls around 2,000 years ago. So when Julie Strauss-Gabel, the president and publisher of Dutton Books for Young Readers, discovered "dwarsliggers" — tiny, pocket-size, horizontal flipbacks that have become a wildly popular print format in the Netherlands — it felt like a revelation. "I saw it and I was like, boom," she said. "I started a mission to figure out how we could do that here." This month, Dutton, which is part of Penguin Random House, began releasing its first batch of mini books, with four reissued novels by the best-selling young-adult novelist John Green. The tiny editions are the size of a cellphone and no thicker than your thumb, with paper as thin as onion skin. They can be read with one hand — the text flows horizontally, and you can flip the pages upward, like swiping a smartphone. It's a bold experiment that, if successful, could reshape the publishing landscape and perhaps even change the way people read. Next year, Penguin Young Readers plans to release more minis, and if readers find the format appealing, other publishers may follow suit.

Wohlfahrtia — род двукрылых из семейства серых мясных мух подсемейства Paramacronychiinae (Sarcophagidae). Около 30 видов, распространенных в основном в Палеарктике. Вызывают миаз, называемый вольфартиозом, который наблюдается у овец, коз, крупного рогатого скота, верблюдовых лошадей и собак и, реже, у людей. В таких случаях личинки развиваются внутри хозяина из травмированных или тонкокожих участков (ануса, половых органов, вокруг глаз, копыт). Этот паразитизм может стать серьёзным и привести к гибели инфицированных особей, особенно овец. Виды Wohlfahrtia vigil в Северной Америке и живородящая Вольфартова муха в Европе особенно опасны. Самки мух отрождают от 120 до 160 очень подвижных личинок длиной около 1 мм в открытые полости (нос, глаза, уши), на раны и язвы на теле животных, иногда — человека (во время сна под открытым небом).

Распространение
Большинство представителей этого рода обитают в засушливых и полузасушливых районах Палеарктики и Афротропики, особенно в Северной Африке, на Ближнем Востоке и в Центральной Азии, с одним видом, общим с Неарктическим регионом (W. vigil), и единственным видом, обнаруженным в южной части Африки (W. pachytyli).

Описание
Среднего и крупного размера ярко окрашенные серые мясные мухи, длина тела от 5 до 20 мм.
Некоторые виды имеют медицинское и ветеринарное значение, так как являются либо факультативными, либо облигатными продуцентами миаза у человека или других млекопитающих. Некрофаги видов Wohlfahrtia могут действовать как факультативные паразиты, но их личинки обычно развиваются в падали.
Отличаются следующими признаками: парафациум голый или с несколькими маленькими щетинками;
постшовные дорсоцентральные щетинки развиты, обычно их 2-4, реже 5 щетинок; крыловой костальный шип не превышает длины поперечной жилки r-m; тергиты брюшка с отчётливыми чёрными срединными и латеральными пятнами, два или более срединных часто частично сливаются.

Особенности питания личинок этого рода включают паразитизм (миаз) позвоночных, поедание саранчи и некрофагию. Wohlfahrtia magnifica является облигатным паразитом млекопитающих, в то время как W. vigil, по-видимому, является возбудителем миаза, а также некрофагом. Задокументировано, что W. pachytyli питается яйцами саранчи, а также умирающей или линяющей саранчой, хотя в лабораторных условиях он может завершить свой жизненный цикл на говядине; Wohlfahrtia erythrocera была выведена из мёртвых кузнечиков, как отмечает Салем (1938), который «обнаружил в материалах Британского музея несколько экземпляров из Белуджистана, выведенных из саранчи», в то время как все другие виды-некрофаги, по-видимому, размножаются в падали позвоночных. Биология личинок нескольких видов до сих пор неизвестна.

Классификация
Около 30 видов. Род Wohlfahrtia принадлежит к подсемейству Paramacronychiinae, традиционно рассматриваемому как сестринская клада к Sarcophaginae, но недавние молекулярные исследования указывают на их более близкое родство с подсемейством Miltogramminae.

MILAN, April 12 (Reuters) - Italy's Octo Telematics has put a planned initial public offering on hold after sanctions were imposed on its indirect controlling shareholder, Viktor Vekselberg, Italian daily Il Sole 24 Ore said on Thursday.
The newspaper cited a report by Dealreporter, which Reuters could not access. Octo Telematics, which provides black boxes and data analytics services for the auto insurance industry, could not immediately be reached for comment.
The United States imposed major sanctions last week against Vekselberg and other oligarchs close to Russian President Vladimir Putin as punishment for alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 U.S. election and other "malign activity".
Octo Telematics is controlled by Russian investment group Renova, which in turn is owned by Vekselberg. Private equity group Pamplona Capital Management is also a shareholder in Octo Telematics.
The Milan IPO, structured through the sale of existing shares by Octo Telematics shareholders, was expected to happen in the first half of 2018, a source told Reuters in December.

In the first study of its kind, researchers have linked a natural global climate cycle to periodic increases in warfare.
The arrival of El Niño, which every three to seven years boosts temperatures and cuts rainfall, doubles the risk of civil wars across 90 affected tropical countries, and may help account for a fifth of worldwide conflicts during the past half-century, say the authors. The paper, written by an interdisciplinary team at Columbia University's Earth Institute, appears in the current issue of the leading scientific journal Nature.
El Niño drought cycles heavily affecting some 90 countries (red) appear to be helping drive modern civil wars.
The idea that environment fuels violence has gained currency in the past decade, with popular books by authors like Jared Diamond, Brian Fagan and Mike Davis. Academic studies have drawn links between droughts and social collapses, including the end of the Persian Gulf's Akkadian empire (the world's first superpower), 6,000 years ago; the AD 800-900 fall of Mexico's Maya civilization; centuries-long cycles of warfare within Chinese dynasties; and recent insurgencies in sub-Saharan Africa. Last year, tree-ring specialists at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory published a 1,000-year atlas of El Niño-related droughts; data from this pinpoints droughts coinciding with thedownfall of the Angkor civilization of Cambodia around AD 1400, and the later dissolution of kingdoms in China, Vietnam, Myanmar and Thailand.

Effects of a Lexical Approach to Chinese English Major Students' Reading Comprehension Ability

his study aimed to explore the effects of a lexical approach to Chinese English major students' reading comprehension ability as well as students' opinions of this approach. A quasi-experimental study was carried out in a Normal University in southern China for 11 weeks. An intact class of 45 first-year English major students at intermediate level participated in the study. They were instructed using a lexical approach to study four long reading texts. The instruments included reading comprehension tests, a questionnaire, and a semi-structured interview. The results showed that students made much progress in reading comprehension after the treatment and they had positive opinions of the lexical approach. It can be concluded from this that the lexical approach had positive impacts on Chinese English major students' reading comprehension ability and it suggests that this approach could be implemented in English language teaching and learning for English majors in higher education.

Hugh's Music
Hugh Martin: The Boy Next Door
Hardcover with Jacket | 416 pages ISBN: 978-0-615-36507-7
Hugh Martin: The Boy Next Door is an enchanting jaunt through the Golden Era of Broadway and the MGM musicals. This first-hand account captures the energy and excitement of those special times, with eyewitness tales of Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland, Gene Kelly, Ethel Merman, Jimmy Durante, Carmen Miranda, Lena Horne, Bea Lillie, Cole Porter, Noel Coward, Rodgers and Hart, Irving Berlin, Josh Logan, Vicente Minnelli, Liza Minnelli, and dozens more. Hugh recounts the origins of some of America's most beloved songs, such as "The Boy Next Door," "The Trolley Song," and perennial favorite "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas."
Martin also reveals some secrets that only he could know: the truth about his so-called collaboration with Ralph Blane, his addiction to the drugs of the infamous Dr. Feelgood, Max Jacobson, how he was instrumental in giving Gene Kelly the opportunity to show Broadway that he was a great choreographer in addition to already being a great performer, and what it was really like to be part of the MGM "Dream Factory." As Hugh enters his 96th year, this could be America's last chance to hear these stories from a living source. They are full of his signature charm, grace, musicality, and poeticism. Hugh Martin: The Boy Next Door, like Hugh Martin himself, is a national treasure.
"For any young person who has a passion to enter into the performing arts, this is the ultimate book to read. Hugh Martin is the single most talented and finest human being I know." – Tony Bennett
"Hugh is one of the greatest treasures we have in the music industry." – Mickey Rooney
"Every time I've interviewed Hugh Martin, I've wanted to read his memoir – only to be reminded he didn't have one. Thank goodness he's finally written a book that tells the stories behind the songs I love." – Terry Gross
"As Alec Wilder told us nearly 40 years ago, Hugh Martin is one the 'great innovators' in American popular song. His witty, elegant memoir is long overdue, and my hope is that it will inspire a thorough exploration of his work for both Broadway and Hollywood. In our age of dumbed-down music and lyrics, how marvelous it is to find a songwriter who has never strayed from his ultra-civilized and irresistibly sweet (and swinging) music." – Bill Rudman, host of Sirius XM's "One the Aisle" and director of The Musical Theater Project
"Hugh Martin, composer of some of the most exquisite songs of the twentieth century, has reached back for a warm and wonderful memoir of his life in show business. He was actually there with Mikey and Judy in the barn. Martin gives us warm and witty first-hand stories of his fabled peer and colleagues: Richard Rogers and Lorenz Hart, Harold Arlen, Irving Berlin, Jule Styne and more. The Boy Next Door is an enchanting and funny account of Broadway, Hollywood, and the American Songbook, told from the vantage point of the piano bench." – Steven Suskin

The Babcock House
Lodging~Food~Drink
Events in the Appomattox Area
CHECK AVAILABILITY!
We are available by phone or email 7 days a week to help you plan your trip to Historic Appomattox.
The Babcock House is a restored, turn of the century inn, dating back to 1884. It is believed that the front five rooms of the Babcock House were built in 1884 by Samuel Patterson Coleman, Jr. Subsequently, the house was owned by the Abbitt family. In 1908, the property was sold at public auction to H.C. Babcock for the price of $1,815.00. Adding rooms to the rear of the original five, the Babcocks used the house as a family dwelling and boarding house until it was converted to a bed and breakfast in 1996.
The inn features five bedrooms and one suite, all furnished with period antiques. All the rooms have private baths, cable television and free wifi. Our inn has central heat and air conditioning to ensure your comfort. Our parlor is full of books, board games and instruments to enjoy next to the fireplace. The porches are great places to take in the small town atmosphere and sip a tasty beverage.
Enjoy a full breakfast every morning of your stay, including fresh fruit, the chef's entree selection, juice and steaming coffee, tea or cocoa. Our on-site restaurant offers elevated southern fare for supper and Sunday brunch with a focus on fresh, seasonal ingredients. Indulge in homemade desserts and house-crafted cocktails as well as Virginia wines and beers.
For over 150 years, Appomattox has held the significance of being known as the place where our nation reunited in April of 1865. The Campaign, after which General Robert E. Lee surrendered the Army of Northern Virginia to General Ulysses S. Grant, effectively ended the American Civil War. Today, you can tour the village of Appomattox Court House, preserved as a National Historical Park, and view relics of the War at the American Civil War Museum just down the road.
While you are in town, uncover the secrets that Appomattox has to offer, from our Broadway-style outdoor theater to our sparkling lakes and hiking and biking trails. Unwind on the golf course or browse our charming Main Street shops. Whatever your interests, there is something to experience in Appomattox.

CTE Honors Attorney Michael Hupy
Honorary Service Award Bestowed Upon Attorney Michael F. Hupy by CTE
Attorney Michael F. Hupy was recognized at the Center for Teaching Entrepreneurship (CTE) Harvest of Hope Dinner on Thursday December 6th, 2012 at Marquette University. An honorary service award was bestowed upon Attorney Hupy in recognition of his seventeen years of service on the CTE Board of Directors, his leadership in recent years as CTE Board President and for his stewardship and involvement in the community.
As board member and past President of CTE, Attorney Hupy has helped empower thousands of local youth with the education and mindset to take ownership of their future. CTE offers a variety of programs that promote business and life skills to Milwaukee youth. Its mission is to research, develop, implement and advocate for programs that utilize the fundamentals of entrepreneurship and promote financial and personal responsibility.
Douglas Kelley, President of the CTE Board, presented the award to Attorney Hupy. Mr. Kelley stated, "We would like to thank Attorney Hupy for his legacy of leadership and highest standards of service to CTE. He will always be known as a lifelong friend to the organization. He has touched all of us and empowered many young people. We thank you for your hard work and dedication to CTE."
Hupy and Abraham was a sponsor of the 21st Annual Harvest of Hope Dinner which recognized CTE participants. CTE serves over 1000 youth annually. Of the program participants, 100% complete high school, 80% go on to pursue higher education and 93% are employed. In addition, 100% of CTE students remain drug free, stay clear of gangs and have not become teen parents.
At the dinner, Attorney Hupy announced that after seventeen years of service, this would be his last year serving on the board and made a private donation to continue to empower thousands of Milwaukee youth.

The commissioner's latest comments are quite revealing.
The NFL stands as an American institution and if you reserve any doubt regarding this statement, look no further than NFL commissioner Roger Goodell's recent comments on marijuana. Goodell appeared on ESPN's "Mike and Mike" radio show to promote the NFL Draft and address some issues facing the league. Prior to the draft, two players returned diluted samples in their drug tests, earning conclusions they were trying to mask a positive test of illegal substances, like marijuana, or were superfans of iLoveMakonnen's Drink More Water mixtape series.
This led the interview into a larger conversation about the NFL's response to the growing voices of current NFL players—an ESPN survey indicated 71% of current NFL players want marijuana legal—and former players—advocates include Eugene Monroe, Jake Plummer, Eben Britton, and Ricky Williams—urging the league to allow cannabis usage as medical treatment and pain management. Considering the widespread opioid crisis throughout the country and NFL, players want alternative options instead of falling into the dark grips of painkiller addiction.
Though I laugh, I've never fully bought the joke. Because robots should include tight systems of logic and "IF-THEN" functions and the like. Yet very little of Goodell's actions and speech reflect logic in any way, shape, or form. He panders and promotes "the shield" of the NFL, protecting it at all costs. You wished his comments followed any rigid patterns or reasoning, but they do not.
I think you still have to look at a lot of aspects of marijuana use. Is it something that can be negative to the health of our players? Listen, you're ingesting smoke, so that's not usually a very positive thing that people would say. It does have an addictive nature. There are a lot of compounds in marijuana that may not be healthy for the players long-term. All of those things have to be considered. And it's not as simple as someone just wants to feel better after a game. We really want to help our players in that circumstance but I want to make sure that the negative consequences aren't something that is something that we'll be held accountable for some years down the road.
Some necessary fact checks and analysis on Goodell's present-day speech, however.
You don't need to smoke marijuana to consume marijuana. Players could digest edibles—instead of Vicodin or OxyContin—or use vaporizers. For joint pain like linemen with torn-up hands or a quarterback's throwing shoulder, players could rub a topical CBD-infused cream on their skin. In fact, former NFL lineman Eben Britton has already developed that product through his BeTru Organics company. The NFL likes to pretend its former employees don't exist, so I thought to offer the tip.
Addiction comes in many forms. The DSM-5 and thereby the scientific community labels marijuana addiction as "cannabis use disorder." It qualifies this disorder from mild, moderate, and severe cases under 11 indicators like craving using marijuana and cannabis usage impairing relationships, work life, and more. Developing two or more indicators within 12 months could mean you have mild cannabis use disorder, though researchers say this test requires more "good science" so we may better understand how we may help those in serious need.
We must also consider Leslie L. Iverson's The Science of Marijuana. Iverson, a pharmacology professor at the University of Cambridge in England, concluded after sifting through decades of international research that 9% of marijuana users developed a serious addiction. Comparatively, 15% of alcohol users, 18% of cocaine users, and 23% of heroin users would become addicted to their drug.
Meanwhile, a 2012 CBSNews article described oxycodone—popular brand: OxyContin—and hydrocodone—popular brand: Vicodin—are the No. 1 and 2 most abused medicines in the U.S., according to the DEA. Tolerance can quickly develop with these drugs and lead to individuals seeking stronger highs. This is why four out of five new heroin users report previously misusing prescription painkillers.
That says it all, right? A league battling the aforementioned painkiller lawsuit and a concussion epidemic causing more lawsuits doesn't want more. Particularly when its employees include an alarming number of domestic abuse and murder cases. The statement reveals how the NFL's primary objective is to protect itself, not its players.
When Goodell says, "We'll sit down and talk about that," this is what he means. The NFL knows its employees want access to marijuana as pain treatment. It does not matter whether they need it or not, though former and current players would argue otherwise. Its owners don't even wish to test for marijuana anymore, but they will maintain their stance to better their position at a bargaining table, to exchange something the owners want for something the players insist they need.
If you ever doubted the NFL isn't a ruthless cutthroat enterprise hell bent on its capitalistic ambitions, here it is. These comments by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell are a smokescreen and drip with insidious intentions. His peddling this reefer madness rhetoric is dangerous and harm far more than it benefits, which singularly is NFL owners. Roger Goodell and the NFL are not stupid or ignorant about cannabis; they are very, very smart and playing these narratives to their advantage and to obscure other pressing issues. I would say it's a move straight from the playbook of the man we call President.

WaPo Runs "Insider" Account of "Sh*thole Countries" Meeting
By Patterico | 11:30 AM on January 16, 2018
Because you just can't get enough of that sweet sweet "sh*thole countries" story, the Washington Post is here for you with an "insider" account of that immigration meeting. It's chock-full of anonymous sources "familiar with the meeting" so you know it will be totally accurate:
When President Trump spoke by phone with Sen. Richard J. Durbin around 10:15 a.m. last Thursday, he expressed pleasure with Durbin's outline of a bipartisan immigration pact and praised the high-ranking Illinois Democrat's efforts, according to White House officials and congressional aides.
The president then asked if Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.), his onetime foe turned ally, was on board, which Durbin affirmed. Trump invited the lawmakers to visit with him at noon, the people familiar with the call said.
But when they arrived at the Oval Office, the two senators were surprised to find that Trump was far from ready to finalize the agreement. He was "fired up" and surrounded by hard-line conservatives such as Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), who seemed confident that the president was now aligned with them, according to one person with knowledge of the meeting.
Trump told the group he wasn't interested in the terms of the bipartisan deal that Durbin and Graham had been putting together. And as he shrugged off suggestions from Durbin and others, the president called nations from Africa "sh*thole countries," denigrated Haiti and grew angry. The meeting was short, tense and often dominated by loud cross-talk and swearing, according to Republicans and Democrats familiar with the meeting.
Profanity bleeped for you delicate readers. The story repeats the Rich Lowry spin that Trump actually said "sh*thouse countries" and not "sh*thole countries" — providing the fig leaf for Senators Cotton and Perdue and DHS Secretary Nielsen to say that they didn't remember hearing that exact precise particular precise exact precise phrase, but the president's language was tough don't you know.
Here's a detail that Trump supporters will likely find too delightful to discount in its entirety:
Attendees who were alarmed by the racial undertones of Trump's remarks were further disturbed when the topic of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) came up, these people said.
At one point, Durbin told the president that members of that caucus — an influential House group — would be more likely to agree to a deal if certain countries were included in the proposed protections, according to people familiar with the meeting.
Trump was curt and dismissive, saying he was not making immigration policy to cater to the CBC and did not particularly care about that bloc's demands, according to people briefed on the meeting. "You've got to be joking," one adviser said, describing Trump's reaction.
LOL. You want the story to be true just so you can believe that.
On the whole, it's Michael Wolff-style journalism on a newspaper scale, which means the reaction will be exactly the same as the reaction to Wolff's book. Clowns to the left of me — meaning Leftists and Big Media (but I repeat myself) — will adopt the story in its entirety, saying that the story rings true, which it does. Jokers to the right — Trump supporters — will say the allegations of the story are all false because the sources are anonymous. (Settle down, Trump supporters. I'm not really saying you're jokers. I'm just doing a song riff).
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you, noting that the story may well be true in all particulars or false in many. That's the nature of stories based on anonymous sources.
As I always say, you don't really need these somewhat questionable Trump "insider" stories, because it's enough to look at what public Trump says. If you're looking for a narrative that says he's leaning towards Grahamnesty for DREAMers, and has to be pulled back from the brink by Congresscritters from the right, you don't need this article. You need only watch the video of the meeting where he told DiFi that a clean DACA bill would be A-OK, only to have Kevin McCarthy yank him back a few steps rhetorically.
I guess what puzzles me about the story is the way it shows various lawmakers spending a ton of time and energy trying to get Trump on their side, as if the man were driven by policy. That makes sense for advisors, since they have zero actual political power. But Trump told lawmakers at the recent televised meeting that he'll sign anything they pass:
And, Chuck, I will say, when this group comes back — hopefully with an agreement — this group and others from the Senate, from the House, comes back with an agreement, I'm signing it. I mean, I will be signing it. I'm not going to say, "Oh, gee, I want this or I want that." I'll be signing it, because I have a lot of confidence in the people in this room that you're going to come up with something really good.
That's Public Trump, not some caricature dreamed up by anonymous sources and leftist reporters. The quote is right there in the video.
So, GOP Senators, my advice to you is to stop talking to Trump about this stuff, except to the extent necessary to make him feel important. Go work out whatever you're going to work out. Then, when it's time to sign it, give Trump a fancy signing ceremony in front of lots of TV cameras and a big pen so he can sign his name really large. Nobody has ever signed their name so large, not even John Hancock, that I can tell you! And everything will work out just fine.

Cannabis Delivery Laws Are Changing In a Big Way
Published by Sarah Tyrrell at February 1, 2019
Cannabis delivery laws around Cali are changing drastically and you could be affected. Image Credit: By petrmalinak on shutterstock.
Could you get cannabis delivered straight to your door, even if your hometown doesn't allow it? It may sound like a trick, but it could be the next big trend in the cannabis business, if a new law in California is any indication.
While many California residents have been able to order cannabis from the comfort of their couch for years, others live in cannabis "deserts" where no legal dispensaries are allowed to open. These places also prohibited the delivery of cannabis, until the recent passing of a new law that legalizes home deliveries of the plant.
The move comes as the state seeks to make legal cannabis more accessible to both medical and recreational users. According to CBS News it is estimated that around 13 percent of Californians smoke cannabis regularly, which places the state tenth in the United States in terms of cannabis users per capita. As the push for legal cannabis spreads to states as far-flung as Minnesota and Connecticut (even Texas is now considering decriminalization), California could serve as an example to states trying to find a balance between respecting local governments and respecting the rights of their citizens.
The Grey Zone of Cannabis Delivery
Cannabis delivery is not a new phenomenon, but until now it has existed in a legal grey zone. However, with the growing popularity of medical cannabis — and its derivatives like CBD, which is now being delivered nationwide — states are starting to get serious about ensuring access to the safe, legal products they've been promising.
In California's case, which will likely be studied closely by other states that seek to establish a legal framework surrounding cannabis, one of the primary motivations was the well-being of medical cannabis patients. For those who use cannabis for medical purposes, getting access to their medication can present a challenge. Many suffer from conditions which limit their mobility, while others live in cities or counties where local governments have passed ordinances prohibiting the sale of cannabis, even though it's legal under state law.
Thanks to the new law, residents of these cannabis "deserts" will now be able to order products directly from more than 100 state-licensed delivery companies, according to Rolling Stone. This could be an interesting option for states like Michigan and Massachusetts, where some communities have banned retail sales at dispensaries despite the recent legalization of recreational cannabis.
Cannabis Delivery: Pros and Cons
Although California's decision to expand cannabis delivery services was greeted with enthusiasm by medical and recreational users (as well as the many businesses that have sprouted up to meet their needs), skeptics still have reservations about expanding access to legal cannabis, citing familiar fears that it could be a "gateway drug." However, thus far there are "no compelling data to suggest that drug use has increased" in states where recreational cannabis has been legalized, according to Dr. J. Wesley Boyd in Psychology Today.
Maintaining a sufficient supply of legal, high-quality cannabis is a major priority for states like California as they seek to eliminate the black market and reap the benefits of tax revenue. Thus far, the state has managed to avoid the supply problem currently sweeping Canadian dispensaries. Expanding access to legal cannabis via home delivery is a promising sign that the industry is on track for sustainable growth.
The financial opportunities presented by this growth have attracted a diverse range of investors, such as NBA star Kevin Durant and rapper Snoop Dogg, though others are urging caution as the cannabis industry matures. "There a lot of hype and speculation around the cannabis space, especially in the public markets," said entrepreneur Ross Lipson.
With cannabis legalization now supported by 6 out of 10 Americans, according to a Pew Research survey, it's likely that the hype — and the home deliveries — won't be stopping any time soon.

Rule of Construction Relating to State and Local Law
Pub. L. 115–271, title III, §3222(c), Oct. 24, 2018, 132 Stat. 3949, provided that: "Nothing in this section [amending this section and enacting provisions set out as a note below] or the amendments made by this section shall be construed to prevent a State or local government from imposing additional controls or restrictions relating to the regulation of the disposal of controlled substances in hospice care or hospice programs."
Pub. L. 115–271, title III, §3222(b), Oct. 24, 2018, 132 Stat. 3949, provided that: "The Attorney General may issue guidance to hospice programs (as defined in paragraph (5) of section 302(g) of the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 822(g)), as added by subsection (a)) to assist the programs in satisfying the requirements under such paragraph (5)."
Pub. L. 111–273, §2, Oct. 12, 2010, 124 Stat. 2858, provided that: "Congress finds the following:
"(1) The nonmedical use of prescription drugs is a growing problem in the United States, particularly among teenagers.
"(2) According to the Department of Justice's 2009 National Prescription Drug Threat Assessment—
"(A) the number of deaths and treatment admissions for controlled prescription drugs (CPDs) has increased significantly in recent years;
"(B) unintentional overdose deaths involving prescription opioids, for example, increased 114 percent from 2001 to 2005, and the number of treatment admissions for prescription opioids increased 74 percent from 2002 to 2006; and
"(C) violent crime and property crime associated with abuse and diversion of CPDs has increased in all regions of the United States over the past 5 years.
"(3) According to the Office of National Drug Control Policy's 2008 Report 'Prescription for Danger', prescription drug abuse is especially on the rise for teens—
"(A) one-third of all new abusers of prescription drugs in 2006 were 12- to 17-year-olds;
"(B) teens abuse prescription drugs more than any illicit drug except marijuana-more than cocaine, heroin, and methamphetamine combined; and
"(C) responsible adults are in a unique position to reduce teen access to prescription drugs because the drugs often are found in the home.
"(4)(A) Many State and local law enforcement agencies have established drug disposal programs (often called 'take-back' programs) to facilitate the collection and destruction of unused, unwanted, or expired medications. These programs help get outdated or unused medications off household shelves and out of the reach of children and teenagers.
"(B) However, take-back programs often cannot dispose of the most dangerous pharmaceutical drugs-controlled substance medications-because Federal law does not permit take-back programs to accept controlled substances unless they get specific permission from the Drug Enforcement Administration and arrange for full-time law enforcement officers to receive the controlled substances directly from the member of the public who seeks to dispose of them.
"(C) Individuals seeking to reduce the amount of unwanted controlled substances in their household consequently have few disposal options beyond discarding or flushing the substances, which may not be appropriate means of disposing of the substances. Drug take-back programs are also a convenient and effective means for individuals in various communities to reduce the introduction of some potentially harmful substances into the environment, particularly into water.
"(D) Long-term care facilities face a distinct set of obstacles to the safe disposal of controlled substances due to the increased volume of controlled substances they handle.
"(5) This Act [see Short Title of 2010 Amendment note set out under section 801 of this title] gives the Attorney General authority to promulgate new regulations, within the framework of the Controlled Substances Act [21 U.S.C. 801 et seq.], that will allow patients to deliver unused pharmaceutical controlled substances to appropriate entities for disposal in a safe and effective manner consistent with effective controls against diversion.
"(6) The goal of this Act is to encourage the Attorney General to set controlled substance diversion prevention parameters that will allow public and private entities to develop a variety of methods of collection and disposal of controlled substances, including some pharmaceuticals, in a secure, convenient, and responsible manner. This will also serve to reduce instances of diversion and introduction of some potentially harmful substances into the environment."
Pub. L. 91–513, title II, §703, Oct. 27, 1970, 84 Stat. 1283, as amended by Pub. L. 99–514, §2, Oct. 22, 1986, 100 Stat. 2095, provided that:

The Polyphaga is the largest and most diverse suborder of beetles. The name is got from two Greek words: poly-, meaning 'many', and phagein, meaning 'to eat', so the suborder is called the "eaters of many things". Polyphaga has 144 families in 16 superfamilies, and shows an enormous variety of specialization and adaptation. It has over 315,000 described species, about 90% of all beetle species so far discovered.[1][2]
Classification[change | change source]
There are 5 infraorders:
Bostrichiformia — including furniture beetles and skin beetles.
Cucujiformia — includes lady beetles, longhorn beetles, weevils, checkered beetles and leaf beetles.
Elateriformia — includes click beetles and fireflies
Scarabaeiformia — includes scarab beetles and stag beetles.
Staphyliniformia — includes rove beetles and water scavenger beetles.
The infraorder Cucujiformia includes most phytophagous [plant-eating] beetles. Adoption of a plant-eating lifestyle promoted speciation and diversity in beetles, with Cucujiformia, especially weevils, forming a major radiation. Much of this adaptive radiation has taken place at the same time as the evolution of the flowering plants. "99% of phytophagous beetles feed on flowering plants".[1]p399
