CBU students pack hundreds of food boxes for Children's Hunger Fund
Riverside, Calif. – More than 140 California Baptist University students worked through the evening to pack 500 food boxes with items such as cans of corn, soup, tuna and bags of beans, rice and cereal for Children's Hunger Fund on March 30.
The event was organized by Compassion Ministries in the CBU Office of Spiritual Life. The Children's Hunger Fund provides balanced food options for hungry children across America and throughout the world. The group distributes the food through churches to help bridge relationships with families in the churches' communities. Students also had the opportunity to write a personalized note to the family who would receive the food box.
Anna Goff, a psychology senior, said she appreciates the various service options CBU offers.
"[The event] provides opportunities for students to get out there and serve when they don't know exactly how they are able to help," Goff said. "This gives students that option and it's easy for them to come because it's on campus."
Kaden Specht, a liberal studies freshman, said the event made her reflect on the blessings she has in her life.
"It makes me feel good that I can [help], but I'm also really thankful about all the things I do have," Specht said.
Julie Dobbins, director of Compassion and Women's Ministries, said there are a lot of logistics when it comes to getting the meals into the hands of those who need it.
"We are just one step in that process, but it is great for our students to be able to organize and pack all of the different supplies needed for a balanced meal for a family," Dobbins said.

WordPress, the wonderful organization that hosts this blog, announced the theme for their Weekly Photo Challenge and it is "near and far".
I have been waiting for a theme just like this one so that I can highlight this photo that I have been holding on to.
I would love to take credit for this photo, but, alas, I cannot.
This snapshot was taken by my wonderful mother-in-law to let our family know what we were missing back in the United States. As we moved to Peru from the hinterlands of Virginia, one of our annual springtime activities was to travel down to the Tidal Basin and view the cherry blossoms. This year, the first year we have missed in a dozen years, was the 100th anniversary of this event.
We missed it this year, but my mother-in-law did send this picture to let us know what springtime in the nation's capital looked like.
Once again, a big tip-o-the-hat of gratitude to my wonderful mother-in-law for this picture.
The short reply to my choice of title is that there are no joys of moving. Moving can only be described as one of four settings: "Hell", "quasi-Hell", "Purgatory", and "southern Utah" (Mental Note: Share that story for another post).
1) Items to be stored in a warehouse in the States. These are items that we would not need for the next ### years we are in Lima. This was known as Storage.
2) Items that we would like in Lima, but did not need for 2-3 months. This was known as the Boat Shipment (BoSh).
4) Items that we would like in Lima and that we would need upon arrival. This was known as Luggage.
During sorting, we quickly saw the rise of a fifth pile: CWNLN, which is not a very handy acronym for Crap We No Longer Needed, so we shortened our word for it and simply called it "Trash".
After piles were made, yard sales were had, donations were given to charity, and boxes were readied, Day One (of three) of the Pack-Out arrived and 70% of our belongings went into either the Storage pile or the Trash pile.
Days Two and Three saw the packing and carting away of the AiSh and BoSh piles which constituted 20% of our belongings.
The day before our flight left was spent packing away our Luggage pile into ten suitcases and five carry-on pieces of luggage. That accounted for 5% of the stuff we owned.
For those of you who have been playing along with a calculator realize that I have only accounted for 95% of the stuff in our house. As my wife and I surveyed our home, there was a variety of items strewn about the rooms, closets, drawers, nooks, and crannies of our abode that we had forgotten to pack in Storage, BoSh, AiSh, but these were items that could not be thrown away.
Since we were renting out our house, we couldn't leave the items there so we had 24 hours to remove that Last Five Percent. Not the way I wanted to spend my last days in the States.
In the end, it was done through a variety of means including having my wife's sister come and take all the cleaning supplies away, storing items with my wife's parents, giving items away to neighbors, and decided (reluctantly) that some items just needed to be thrown out. All in all, and like I said, dealing with the stress of the Last Five Percent was a pain in the nalgitas (Spanish for tuchus).
We also reserved a small corner of our unfinished basement for a few items that fit none of the above categories in the paragraph above and we told our tenants about it. Hope they understand, but I simply could not part with my framed Seurat poster from the Art Institute of Chicago which I had forgotten was in the garage.
With our life in (not-so-) tiny little boxes, we boarded a plane to Newark and then to Lima.


After exchanging candy with our classmates every Valentine's Day growing up, we'd sift through our hauls and organize it all from "can't wait to dig in," favorite candy to "only in a serious sugar emergency," least favorite candy. For many of us, Necco's SweetHeart's Conversation Hearts were always in the latter pile. Despite this though, we're somehow saddened by the recent news that for the first time since the 1860s, the candy will not be available this Valentine's Day. We suppose you always want what you can't have, even if what you can't have is a basically just a piece of chalk that's been lightly flavored, formed into the shape of a heart, and given a cheeky message.
According to TODAY.com, SpanglerCandy, which purchased NECCO last year after the business went under, released a statement yesterday announcing that Sweethearts would be relaunched in time for 2020's Valentine's Day season. That means, no new SweetHeart's Conversation Hearts will be produced in time for February 14, 2019, leaving many Valentine's Day candy-swappers without them. The news feels like a big deal in large part because the sweet is so iconic, but it doesn't mean that we won't be able to enjoy loving messages delivered via candy this V-Day.
In addition to SweetHeart's Conversation Hearts produced before the NECCO factory closed in July 2018, candy-lovers can find plenty of conversational treats from other brands. Ahead, you'll find candy, chocolate, and cookies that all bear sentimental statements either on their wrappers or stamped directly on the sweet.


British writer and artist Edith Durham had once said: "There is a peculiar pleasure in riding out into the unknown. A pleasure which no second journey on the same trail ever affords."
Travelling has evolved from being a family activity to something to do with friends and, in recent times, even solo. Travel, in fact, has become a form of meditation for many. A vacation is a time when everybody enjoys a few special moments with their near and dear ones, along with the luxury of exploring new places together.
With the standard of living and disposable incomes rising every day, Indians are now spending more to traverse the world. In fact, they prefer to travel on their own terms, at their own leisure and therefore choose to hire rental vehicles to make their journeys across the world easier and more convenient. As the number of travelers increases, self-drive holidays too are gaining popularity and are expected to grow by up to 35 percent annually, giving vacationers the freedom to explore off-beat destinations -- both at home and abroad.
Here, then, are some reasons why self-driving abroad is an exciting new option that Indian travelers are taking to and why you too can consider the same for your next holiday.
* Exploring the culture: A road trip gives you the liberty to experience the culture of a place more closely and understand it better. You can stop at every intriguing spot, click pictures, chat with locals and delve into authentic cuisine at charming restaurants or cafes that you may see along the way. The experiences that a self-driven road trip gives you, therefore, are unmatched in their authenticity and charm.
* Travelling to unexplored destinations: When there is a car with you, you can channelize your inner explorer, and go to places rarely touched or witnessed by commercial or public modes of transport. Travelers are always excited about exploring places which are never heard of. So if you too are bitten by the bug to discover new and uncharted territories, a self-drive vacation is definitely the option for you.
* Enjoying nature: If you're in, say, Bali or New Zealand, that abounds in natural beauty, you should definitely not even think twice before hiring a self-drive car. These places offer so many picturesque spots by the beach or nestled among mountains or even views of volcanic peaks that you would want to stop at each one of them and take those Instagram-worthy pictures. Having a self-drive vehicle will allow you to bask in the splendor of nature at its best.

Q: How to Allow Null input for C# Razor page SelectList Considering the following data model:
public partial class RootEntity
{
    [Key]
    public long Id { get; set; }

    [Required(AllowEmptyStrings = false)]
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public string ThingsAboutIt { get; set; }

    public long? RelatedEntity_Id { get; set; }
    [ForeignKey("RelatedEntity_Id")]
    public RelatedEntity RelatedEntity { get; set; }

}

public partial class RelatedEntity
{
    [Key]
    public long Id { get; set; }

    [Required(AllowEmptyStrings = false)]
    public string Name { get; set; }

    public ICollection<RootEntity> RootEntities { get; set; }
}

public partial class MyContext : IdentityDbContext
{
    public MyContext(DbContextOptions<MyContext> options) : base(options) { }

    public virtual DbSet<RootEntity> RootEntities { get; set; }
    public virtual DbSet<RelatedEntity> RelatedEntities { get; set; }
}

When using the EF (Core) scaffolded Insert page in a Razor page application, the default pattern used for selecting singl-y linked entity records is:

    <select asp-for="RootEntity.RelatedEntity_Id" class ="form-control" asp-items="ViewBag.RelatedEntity_Id"></select>

and the initialization of this looks something like this:
ViewData["RelatedEntity_Id"] = new SelectList(_context.RelatedEntities, "Id", "Name");

I can configure this a tiny bit, by changing that third parameter to something like "Name" - if such a property exists.
I need way more configurabililty - I need at least null values to be selected.
In an attempt to allow nulls, I use this pattern:
List<SelectListItem> selectList = _context.RelatedEntities
    .AsNoTracking()
    .Select(x => new SelectListItem()
    {
        Value = x.Id.ToString(),
        Text = x.Name
    })
    .ToList();

selectList.Insert(0, new SelectListItem()
{
    Value = null, // <=========== Here lies the problem...
    Text = "--- Select Related Entity ---"
});

ViewData["RelatedEntity_Id"] = selectList;

The rendered HTML looks something like this:
<select class="form-control" id="RootEntity_RelatedEntity_Id" name="RootEntity.RelatedEntity_Id">
    <option selected="selected">--- select Related Entity ---</option>
    <option value="3">FOO</option>
    <option value="2">MMMBAR</option>
</select>

The problem I'm having is that the value "--- Select Related Entity ---" becomes bound to that model property. This makes it fail validation. (ModelState.IsValid == false)
I have tried changing the SelectListItem value to a blank string, "-1", but none of it fixes the model validation error.
I've also tried to build a custom binder for entity classes, but this binds the root model itself to it - which obviously does not pertain to this Select List scenario.
What is the simplest, most elegant way to resolve this?

A:
I have tried changing the SelectListItem value to a blank string, "-1", but none of it fixes the model validation error.

It can pass the validation if you set it as an empty string.
selectList.Insert(0, new SelectListItem()
{
    Value = "",
    Text = "--- Select Related Entity ---"
});

You can see the rendered html code, the default option with a value attribute but with no value:

And when submit the form, RootEntity.RelatedEntity_Id will be null.

This is the result.

A: The best thing I could come up with is the following line of code:
ModelState.Remove("RootEntity.RelatedEntity_Id");

before checking ModelState.IsValid.
This seems to work ok, and is reasonably elegant, I guess.
I am still open to suggestions, and criticisms if I am missing some major language feature, or better practice.

A: It sounds like Model Validation is behaving as it should.  By adding the 'select' option like you did with a null value, model validation will trigger invalid.  This is because your model value is not nullable.  If you expect the value to be nullable, you should probably adjust your model to accept nulls.  Although it does appear to be a table key, so it's not clear why you want this behavior.
public long? Id { get; set; }

Better yet, add this to a ViewModel, along with your selectlist model so that you have a strongly typed list as well.

Schools and colleges may nominate a minimum of two candidates and a maximum of one graduating senior student per 100 graduates. The number of graduates will be based on the number of actual graduates, averaged over the previous five years. Dually enrolled students will be "counted" in both colleges of matriculation. Schools and colleges will be informed of the number of nominations available on or around mid-October each year.
Schools and colleges should conduct their own internal nomination processes. Best practices include:
Screening for high academic achievement, as indicated by an outstanding GPA
Seeking strong endorsements by faculty, attesting to the student's accomplishment in a disciplinary field
Screening for students involved in independent research or creative endeavor in a disciplinary field
Schools and colleges should consider academic achievements in light of extramural factors specific to each student's academic journey (i.e. the imperative to work while attending school, necessity of assuming caregiver responsibilities while attending, other similar barriers) that may have disadvantaged nontraditional/post-traditional students otherwise deserving of consideration. While academic achievement and excellence are the principal criteria for this award, community engagement may be considered, especially in cases where those activities are relevant to or an outgrowth of the student's academic pursuits.
The University Scholars should reflect the diversity of race, economic circumstance, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, disability, and/or record of military service that characterizes our student body. Schools and colleges should consider these factors as they select nominees.
Students may be nominated by only one school or college. In the case of dually enrolled students, it is the responsibility of the schools and colleges to discuss with each other, and with the student, which unit will submit the nomination. The students' portfolios should include representations of their work in both colleges in order to provide a comprehensive picture of their academic achievements.
The materials submitted on behalf of each student contain confidential letters of recommendation; therefore, the nominating portfolios must be transmitted to the SUSSC by the school or college selection committees.
Schools and colleges must submit complete portfolios for each of their nominees to Jolynn Parker (via email to jmpark02@syr.edu) no later than the first Friday of classes in the spring term. ****For the 2020-2021 academic year, applications are due January 29th, 2021. ****
Additional Information or questions regarding the university-wide selection process for Syracuse University Scholars can be directed to the chair of the selection committee or to Jolynn Parker, Center for Fellowship and Scholarship Advising (jmpark02@syr.edu or 315-443-2759).

Now That I Know You
Author: Olivia Newport
Series: Tree of Life, Book 5
Genres: Contemporary, Historical Fiction
Cate Butler is the distant cousin genealogist Jillian was so certain she wanted to find. So why does she wish Cate would stop pestering her? Drew, the man who holds Jillian's heart, has a surprising past with Cate. The truths Jillian, Cate, and Drew find while untangling these knotted threads tie them back together in remarkable ways none of them ever would have imagined.
What You Said to Me
November 1, 2020. When 15-year-old Tisha Crowder gets caught shoplifting, attorney Nolan Duffy tries to protect her from consequences that could rattle her already troubled life. His daughter, Jillian, feels like she's the one being punished instead—by having Tisha assigned to work with her on a backlog of genealogy files. Tisha doesn't seem interested in taking the job seriously, and Jillian's patience wears thin. Besides, everyone in Canyon Mines knows the Crowder family has experienced generations of brokenness. Then a sliver of hope turns up in long-ago words in plain sight, challenging shrouded assumptions about Tisha's family. Now Jillian is the one who can walk with Tisha back to 1893 and uncover where everything went wrong in the first place—and save her from the past.
When I Meet You
A trunk abandoned at Denver's Union Station more than a century ago leads Jillian and Nolan to untangle the mystery of its contents—including correspondence with the head of Pinkerton's National Detective Agency Denver office. While Nolan digs into the legalities of the findings, Jillian searches for the descendants of a stolen identity who might not be who they think they are on Colorado ranch land. When Drew seems anxious to hear what Jillian has to say but his Great Aunt Min slams the subject closed—twice—Jillian is all the more determined to find out what happened to the woman who never claimed her luggage, why Min doesn't want to talk about it, and what will happen for Drew if he gets the answers he seeks.
The Inn at Hidden Run
Meri's family has been producing doctors for so many generations that no one remembers why, so when she flunks out of medical school, she runs as far from her parents as she can get. In the small mountain town of Canyon Mines, Colorado, she takes a job at the Inn at Hidden Run B&B. And waits. It's only a matter of time.
What she doesn't count on is genealogist Jillian Parisi-Duffy and her father, Nolan, having her back when it takes everything she has not to bolt again but to stay and face the truth that only unfolding her family's history will reveal. While Nolan works on keeping Meri calm—and in town—Jillian pulls out of her gems of information she doesn't know she has and arranges the puzzle pieces.
But none of that changes the fact that Meri's family is closing in to haul her back to her "real" life. When their arrival inflames tensions and Meri finally does bolt, Nolan and Jillian may be out of time.
The Inn at Hidden Run is the first book in the Tree of Life series. Readers will come back to backdrop of a lovely mountain town of Canyon Mines again and again to explore and celebrate unforgettable family stories that inspire them to connect with their own family histories and unique faith journeys.
Hope in the Land
Series: Amish Turns of Time, Book 4
Genres: Amish, Historical Fiction
Gloria's hands are full with a farm to run alongside her husband, a houseful of children, and an English neighbor, Minerva Swain, who has been trying Gloria s patience for forty years. While the Great Depression shadows the country in gloom, can Amish and English neighbors in Lancaster County grasp the goodness that will sustain hope?
Brightest and Best
Ella Hilty's deepest desire is to marry Gideon Wittmer and be a mother to his three children, but her 1918 Ohio Amish community gets caught in a storm of controversy when English government authorities dictate that Amish children must attend consolidated public schools rather than their one-room schoolhouse. English schoolteacher Margaret Simpson had given up thoughts of marriage years ago, and she's content with her peaceful life. But a budding romance and conflict with the neighboring Amish community lead Margaret down a path that she never expected. Soon Margaret puts her last chance for romance at risk for the only choice her conscience can abide, and all eyes turn to Ella to bring unity to the Amish and understanding to the English.
Meek and Mild
Suddenly shun has become a serious word for Clara Kuhn. As 1917 approaches, her Amish church's aging bishop is coming down hard on members who dally in untraditional practices—like offering Sunday school for children—and Clara's gift for telling Bible stories to little ones collides with new mandates. The young Pennsylvania Amish woman had always moved freely over the state line to visit family in the more progressive Maryland district, but now those visits are coming under scrutiny by some members of Clara's church.
On the verge of accepting Andrew Raber's marriage proposal, Clara is unsure what to make of his new hobby to rehabilitate an abandoned Model T. Just how ward can they push against the bishop's wishes?
As the chasm widens between Old Order Amish and the Marylanders, and tensions rise between longtime friends and close-knit family, Clara and Andrew must look inward to examine their own hearts and consciences and, above all, seek Gottes wille—God's will.
Wonderful Lonesome
In a struggling Amish settlement on the harsh Colorado plain, Abbie Weaver refuses to concede defeat to hail, drought, and coyotes, even as families begin to give up and return east. The biggest challenge of all is the lack of a spiritual shepherd and regular worship. When Abbie discovers the root of a spiritual divide that runs through the settlement, she faces her own decisions about what she believes. She must choose between a quiet love in her cherished church, passion with a man determined to leave the church, or imagining her life with neither.

His oldest brother was the first to toss a handful of J's ashes at the base of some tall eucalypts in the Toolangi state forest. His sisters went next and then the in-laws, including me. Even the grandchildren had a go. We dug deep into the plastic canister where the chalk white and grey grit of J's remains rested heavy and took a handful of him, then tossed it to the wind.
Some stuck to the bark of the mountain ash.
We transformed this scattering of J into a photo shoot of sorts, as people do these days, not out of disrespect but because it seemed a good way to keep his memory alive.
No one else would. His partners had long ago deserted him and he had no children. Not that any of us knew. The only ones loyal to J right up to the end were his sisters and brothers. But by the time this ritual of final release took place there was no sadness left.
J was the youngest and had wasted his life on a belief that he had the gene for alcoholism. It gave him the excuse to drink and smoke twenty-four hours a day and to replace the alcohol with morphine when the cancer that ripped into his jaw took away his tolerance for any other sustenance.
J had wanted to offer his body to science, but no one wanted it, given his flesh and bones had started their long descent into decay well before he died.
After a few halfhearted attempts at treatment, the doctors left it to the palliative carers to make J's death endurable, and endure it he did.
Shortly before he died, Dennis Potter spoke on the radio about his life and anticipated death, again from cancer. He was reconciled to the idea, though it gave him a strange new hold on life, he told his interviewer. It made him aware of the importance and inevitability of time.
'Life can only be defined in the present tense,' he said. The 'nowness' of things is all we can rely upon. We can never be certain about the past. It changes with our memory and recall, and the future is unpredictable, as yet unformed, but not the present.
To illustrate, Potter described the blossoms that had just erupted on the cherry tree outside his door, as the 'blossomiest' of blossoms, so lush, so fluffy, so fragrant, so magnificent. Why had he not noticed them before?
Death, Potter said, puts us back in touch with the present in the same way as when we are children. The present is always with us as children in that moment-to-moment experience of being wholly absorbed inside an experience, whether it is one of terror – and there are many terrifying moments as a child – or of bliss.
During the interview Potter searched his pockets for a cigarette, half apologised to his interviewer and joked that he could do as he pleased now, as far as taking in poisons, but not everyone was happy.
He told the story of a time when he pulled out a cigarette somewhere in a café in America, and the look on the waiter's face, as if to kill.
It comes upon me in a flash that sensation from my childhood, unattached to specific memories just a flash, of light, of colour, of smell. A sensation that erupts when I remember the newness of things, the tiny flowers on the diosma bush outside my garden, pink baby's breath, the smell of the Rockman's doll I unwrapped on my eight Christmas, baby sized and pink in its nakedness, as if I had magically given birth to my own baby but experienced none of the pain, only the exultant joy of welcoming this new creature into life.
This sensation relates to newness, and now in my sixties, no longer new, I cannot expect too many of these, not in the way of childhood. But I look forward to their return when, like Dennis Potter, I anticipate moving into this new space called death.
My husband has gone back to sharpening knives. Not for their murderous properties, but for the sheer beauty he finds in the smooth knife-edge, the blade that can cut a swathe through the hairs on his arm.
I find it almost unbearable to watch, the blade so sharp it could splice a single hair.
My husband pulled out several of his sharpening stones the other day for the purpose of washing them down in readiness for use. They form part of his collection. Several dull coloured blocks of fine pressed stone against which he rubs each knife blade.
My husband also has a sharpening wheel in the workshop outside, his go-to sharpening stone when friends or relatives come round with their small collection of kitchen knives, blunted from too much use.
My husband likes to relax at the wheel and move the blade up and down the surface of the round stone, as it turns slowly with a steady flow of water dripping over its surface.
I do not understand my husband's passion for knives other than the passion of one who likes to collect things. Who likes to have in his possession an example of every variety of knife available: cooks knives, paring knives, fish knives, bread knives, Japanese and German knives, pocket knives and cleavers.
Many of these knives we use, others lie tucked away, hidden at the bottom of drawers and wrapped in tea towels or swathes of calico cloth.
Recently, my husband came across a man who makes knives for a living, a blacksmith of sorts, who forges his blades to your specifications.
The knives come back in rustic form, without handles, unless you pay extra. But they are good knives, heavy to hold and excellent for all manner of food preparation.
When we go away for a holiday, it is not unusual for my husband to take along a couple of knives from our kitchen. Even when we stay with friends, he does not trust the quality of their knives for cooking and so he brings his own.
Besides his love of knives, my husband has multiple interests – woodturning, book binding, jewellery making, photography, genealogy, gardening, coin collecting, cooking and preserving – which I pitch against my one obsession, writing.
equipment. He had dreams of building a yacht in our back yard and bought books on the subject.
He wanted to make something of himself.
Who does not want to make something of themselves? And who does not suffer disappointment in the struggle.
I thought of these words in the shower this morning as I pondered the fate of my would-be book: Marlon Brando's words from On the Waterfront, 'I could'a been a contender'.
Yesterday, I met a young woman who will help me to transfer this blog into a WordPress blog.
I don't know whether I dare say this out loud in case the people who currently host my blog, the people at blogspot will object. Not that there are people behind these ventures, real flesh and blood people who can read these words and object to my infidelity.
There are matrix like operations behind the scenes that control these processes, I suspect, owned by someone, but I do not understand the workings of these things and therefore have enlisted the help of the technologically savvy.
blogging. As if it were a strange thing to continue on such a path instead of moving onto something new.
I think again of my husband's interests. When one starts to lose its allure he can move onto another, and back again.
But my passion is relentless. It does not shift, except perhaps in its content.
There's always something different to write about, and yet I am fearful these days of almost every word I write, in case it offends someone.
The thought police are loud in my head. 'How can you say that?' How dare you utter such things out loud?
Do all children learn this?
This business of keeping things to yourself, this business of holding thoughts inside for fear of offending someone.
Another of those expressions from when I was a child and learned to hold my tongue, but it takes such an effort.
Virginia Woolf writes about 'a finger held to the lips', a sense that we must not speak the unspeakable.
Cut a knife through it.

ALBANY, NY (WSKG) – It seems all but inevitable that New York State will legalize recreational marijuana sometime this year, now that the governor and leaders of the legislature all agree that it should happen. But a coalition of groups, including county sheriffs and the PTA, warn of moving too quickly. They say there are several serious factors to consider, including the potential of increased traffic deaths and stepped up drug use by teens and children.

The Sheriffs and Chiefs of Police Associations, along with county health officials, AAA , and the PTA say they know they've been slow to voice their concerns, as the push to allow adults to use marijuana in New York has gained momentum.
He criticized Governor Andrew Cuomo, for changing his position on legalizing recreational pot. Cuomo, just two years ago said he thought using marijuana led to harder drugs, but now, in his budget he has proposed legalizing the substance.
County health officials from across the state are also against legalization. Their association's executive director, Sarah Ravenhall says the use of marijuana can cause increased risk of stroke, respiratory problems, and unintended exposure of the drug to children. She says because the drug has been illegal in the United States for so long, not enough research has been conducted into the long term effects of marijuana use, leaving health officials in the dark about potential future harm.
Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie has already called for more time to work out details of the bill, and put off the measure to legalize marijuana until later in the spring after the budget has passed. A spokeswoman for Heastie Kerri Biche says his main concern, though, is ensuring that communities negatively affected by marijuana prohibition receive economic benefits and opportunities .
A spokesman for governor Cuomo Tyrone Stevens says the governor's office did reach out to law enforcement when crafting the legislation, and believes that more Drug Recognition Experts can be funded through tax revenue generated from sales. And he says any new law would enact more stringent rules against driving while under the influence.

Apicomplexa form a phylum of obligate parasitic protozoa of great clinical and veterinary importance. These parasites synthesize glycoconjugates for their survival and infectivity, but the enzymatic steps required to generate the glycosylation precursors are not completely characterized. In particular, glucosamine-phosphate N-acetyltransferase (GNA1) activity, needed to produce the essential UDP-N-acetylglucosamine (UDP-GlcNAc) donor, has not been identified in any Apicomplexa. We scanned the genomes of Plasmodium falciparum and representatives from six additional main lineages of the phylum for proteins containing the Gcn5-related N-acetyltransferase (GNAT) domain. One family of GNAT-domain containing proteins, composed by a P. falciparum sequence and its six apicomplexan orthologs, rescued the growth of a yeast temperature-sensitive GNA1 mutant. Heterologous expression and in vitro assays confirmed the GNA1 enzymatic activity in all lineages. Sequence, phylogenetic and synteny analyses suggest an independent origin of the Apicomplexa-specific GNA1 family, parallel to the evolution of a different GNA1 family in other eukaryotes. The inability to disrupt an otherwise modifiable gene target suggests that the enzyme is essential for P. falciparum growth. The relevance of UDP-GlcNAc for parasite viability, together with the independent evolution and unique sequence features of Apicomplexa GNA1, highlights the potential of this enzyme as a selective therapeutic target against apicomplexans.
Biosynthesis of UDP-GlcNAc in Apicomplexa. Fru6P, Fructose-6-phosphate; Glc6P, Glucose-6-phosphate; G6PI, Glucose-6-phosphate isomerase (Enzyme Commission (EC) 5.3.1.9); GFPT, Glucosamine-fructose-6-phosphate aminotransferase (EC 2.6.1.16); GNA1, Glucosamine-phosphate-N-acetyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.4); HK, Hexokinase (EC 2.7.1.1); PAGM, Phosphoacetylglucosamine mutase (EC 5.4.2.3); UAP, UDP-N-acetylglucosamine pyrophosphorylase (EC 2.7.7.23). The reaction catalyzed by the GNA1 enzyme is marked with a red box.
Phylogeny, protein domain architecture and taxonomic distribution of 71 GNAT proteins from seven apicomplexan species. The maximum-likelihood unrooted phylogenetic tree is drawn to scale, with branch lengths proportional to evolutionary distances between nodes. Branches leading to extant nodes in the tree are colored according to the species. Indicated in bold are sequences examined for GNA1 activity. Values next to the orthogroup-defining nodes indicate statistical support from maximum-likelihood, Bayesian and neighbor-joining phylogenetic analysis, respectively. For EupathDB orthogroups retrieved as well-supported clades in the tree, colored strips indicate their taxonomic distribution (top right legend: Api, Apicomplexa; Euk, Eukaryota; Eug, Euglenozoa; Ubi, ubiquitous; Bab, Babesia; The, Theileria; Fun, Fungi; Tox, Toxoplasma; Eim, Eimeria). The apicomplexan-specific GNA1 family is enclosed within a continuous line box, while the HAT and the NMT families are enclosed within a dashed line box. A schematic protein architecture delineating the occurrence of conserved motifs detected using MEME is shown next to each protein (see Table ). The distance between vertical lines on the right is 200 amino acids.
Complementation of ScGNA1-ts by PfGNA1 and other Apicomplexa orthologs. (A) S. cerevisiae GNA1 thermosensitive mutants GNA1-ts transformed with one of five P. falciparum candidate sequences, Trypanosoma brucei GNA1 (TbGNA1) or an empty MET15 vector (pRS421 pt), were grown in serial dilution on minimal media without uracil, methionine and cysteine (MM -ura -met -cys) at 23 °C and 37 °C. (B) GNA1-ts cells containing GNA1 orthologous sequences from representative apicomplexan species were cloned in pRS421 pt and grown in serial dilution on MM -ura -met -cys at 23 °C and 37 °C. Bb, Babesia bovis; Cp, Cryptosporidium parvum; Et, Eimeria tenella; Tg, Toxoplasma gondii; Ta, Theileria annulata; and Gn, Gregarina niphandrodes.
Independent evolutionary origin of Apicomplexa GNA1 family. (A) The heat map represents the taxonomic distribution for 30 sugar nucleotide enzyme genes present in P. falciparum, i.e., the fraction of 150 species from 12 eukaryote and prokaryote lineages containing orthologs of this gene within each taxonomic lineage, as inferred from the information provided in OrthoMCLDB. Orthogroups have been hierarchically clustered into four clusters based on the Euclidean distance between their taxonomic coverages,. The biochemical pathways they are involved in and the EC nomenclature of the enzymatic reaction catalyzed are indicated as colored side bars. Fir, Firmicutes; Pro, Proteobacteria; Oba, Other bacteria; Arc, Archaea; Eug, Euglenozoa; Amo, Amoebozoa; Vir, Viridiplantae; Tet, Tetrahymena thermophila; Api, Apicomplexa; Fun, Fungi; Met, Metazoa; Oeu, Other eukaryotes. See also see Table . (B) Phylogeny and protein domain architecture of putative GNA1s from 30 apicomplexan species. The Bayesian circular phylogenetic tree is drawn to scale, with branch lengths proportional to evolutionary distances between nodes. The tree has been rooted using Cryptosporidiidae representatives, considered to be occupying a basal position among Apicomplexa. Values next to relevant nodes/clades indicate statistical support from maximum-likelihood, Bayesian and neighbor-joining phylogenetic analysis, respectively. Leaves are colored according to their taxonomic family membership and two additional classification groups, including class (see Table ). Sequences examined for GNA1 activity are indicated in bold. The architecture in terms of conserved protein motifs detected using MEME is shown next to each protein (see Table ). Outer circular lines form a protein length scale, the distance between lines is 100 amino acids.
Sequence and secondary structure of the conserved regions of the GNAT domain in apicomplexan and non-apicomplexan eukaryote GNA1s. Logos were generated on the basis of multiple aa sequence alignments of 30 non-apicomplexan eukaryote GNA1s (upper) and 30 apicomplexan GNA1s (lower) resulting after removing poorly aligned or highly diverged regions. Stack height indicates the information content for each position in the alignment, divided by the estimated probability. The residues are colored according to the ClustalX coloring conservation scheme. Vertical lines connect positions conserved in more than 60, 75 or 90% of sequences in the alignments. Regions corresponding to GNAT motifs A-D of the non-apicomplexan eukaryote GNA1 proteins are enclosed within dashed boxes. Functional key residues and secondary structure as determined by the crystal structure of human glucosamine-6-phosphate N-acetyltransferase at 2.7 Å resolution (HsGNA1; pdb id: 3cxs) are indicated on the alignment profiles. Residues involved in binding GlcN-6P are shown as squares, and those contributing to the charge distribution as triangles; residues in subunit 1 are shown as filled symbols and those from the other subunit as unfilled symbols. The predicted protein secondary structure for PfGNA1 is also shown. The location of the consensus motif for the GNC5-related N-acetyltransferase family is underlined.
Enzymatic activities of recombinant Apicomplexa GNA1 proteins. (A) The purified recombinant GNA1 enzymes were assayed in the presence of GlcN-6P and AcCoA (blue line, 25 µg/mL GNA1; red line, 5 µg/mLGNA1; green line, no GNA1). (B) The purified recombinant CpGNA1 enzyme was assayed in the presence of spermine and AcCoA. Chromatograms (left panels) show the detection of an N-acetylspermine peak by HPLC-MS/MS in samples containing spermine (pink); AcCoA (black); AcCoA and spermine (blue); AcCoA, spermine and 250 µg/mL of CpGNA1 (red); AcCoA, spermine and 500 µg/mL of CpGNA1 (green); and AcCoA, spermine and 1000 µg/mL of CpGNA1 (grey). Nonenzymatic acetylation is observed in all the assays containing spermine and AcCoA. In these reactions, the generation of N-acetylspermine is not dependent on the concentration of CpGNA1, as it is shown in superimposed chromatograms (right panel).
Genetic strategies to disrupt PfGNA1 function. (A) Diagram illustrating the strategy used for PfGNA1-disruption. Cas9 protein is expressed by the pUF1-Cas9 episome. pL7-GNA1 episome is continuously maintained using the hdhfr selection and carries simultaneously the donor DNA (homology regions: HR1/HR2) and the sgRNA targeting PfGNA1 (pink). (B) Diagram illustrating the strategy for PfGNA1 edition. pDC2-Cas9-sgRNA plasmid carries the Cas9 protein and the sgRNA PfGNA1-targeting sequence together with the hdhfr and yfcu fusion genes for positive and negative selection, respectively. pUC19-edited gene plasmids carry the PfGNA1 donor sequence with shield (green star) and silent or nonsense mutations (red stars) in the sgRNA region generating pUC19-silentPfGNA1 or pUC19-nonsensePfGNA1, respectively. (C) Target sequence recognized by PfGNA1 sgRNA and chromatogram of wild-type parasites (top panel), and modified locus sequences and chromatogram of the edited parasites showing the shield (blue) and silent mutations (pink) (middle panel) and nonsense mutations (red) (bottom panel). No parasites were obtained carrying PfGNA1 nonsense mutations. (D) Table summarizing PfGNA1 disruption attempts.


2019 is just a few months away. So when we sat down with Natalie Tam, Investment Director at Aberdeen Standard Investments, we took the opportunity to ask her what she thought the key market issues could be next year. She touches on 5 key issues including the prospect of a Royal Commission into energy affordability.
In this short interview, she tells us: "the elephant in the room is energy and affordability around energy. There's a high chance that the government could initiate a Royal Commission into energy as well. So that would be obviously negative for utilities like AGL". Read on for the video with transcript for what to keep on your radar for the year ahead.
"Heading into 2019, I think it is going to be a real exciting year actually. And I think there are a few key things that we're going to be looking at quite closely.
Issue 1: What's popular among voters?
The first one is the federal election. And when you think about an election you've got to think about what is popular among voters. And then you look at things like the Royal Commission into financial services. That was actually polling at a 65% approval rating just for that policy two years before they even implemented it. And the previous banking levy also polled really well. So you can see that banks could become a pretty useful political football as we head into an election.
The other things that are important to voters are affordability, and the cost of living. And we've already seen the Labour government come out with a 2% cap on private health insurance premium rates, which is obviously negative for private health insurers and looking further down the supply chain, to private hospitals.
But I think the elephant in the room is energy and affordability around energy. And I think there's a high chance that the government could initiate a Royal Commission into energy as well. So that would be obviously negative for utilities like AGL, which has already been under a lot of political pressure ever since they announced that they were closing the Liddell coal-fired plant.
Issue 3: Going against the status quo - a new norm?
So those are two key issues. And then I think a third thing to think about that's different to this election versus other ones is that there's been a global social trend towards voters being dissatisfied with incumbents. Case in point is obviously what happened with the election of President Trump in the US. Nobody saw that coming, but it really spoke to voters being dissatisfied with the status quo.
And depending on what polling that you look at, one in three Australian voters are showing a preference to a third party. Now how that translates on election day, we'll have to wait and see. But it does show that there is potential for unintended consequences. Policies that we may not have seen coming may start to come through. So we're going to have to watch that really closely.
And then as we head into 2019 we'll also be watching the US-China trade war and whether that starts to de-escalate. Because I think if we take a one to two-year view, we do expect Washington will want to renegotiate for freer and fairer trade. And there will be some opportunities around the volatility that that brings.
And then finally, we will be watching bond yields very closely. So bond yields obviously feed into market valuations for DCF's and as bond yields go up, those valuations do take a bit of a knock. And obviously at some point bond yields will reach a point that triggers a general rotation out of equities into bonds. And as that rotation I think gains traction, you probably will see more of that selling of the higher PE names that have done really well to lock in those profits, and possibly a flight to quality in equities too".

could you please explain how to I can scroll the canvas on mobile phones?

here is the code below about my animation .

"We have pumpkins at morning and pumpkins at noon, if it were not for pumpkins we should be undone." It is truly that Halloween pumpkin boasts a celebrity status in the United States and European Countries. Halloween is nothing without Pumpkin and Pumpkin Carving.
An orange fruit "Pumpkin" harvested in October, this nutritious and versatile plant features flowers, seeds and flesh that are edible and rich in vitamins. Pumpkins are 90% water and a hundred grams of Pumpkin gives you 26 calories, 0.1 gm total fat, no cholesterol, 340 mg potassium and 7 gm carbohydrate. Pumpkins have been grown in North America for five thousand years. They are indigenous to the western hemisphere.
These traditions come with a history of immigrants from Ireland and Scotland entering America in the 1800s and bringing the tradition of carving pumpkins instead of turnips as their wonderful soft flesh was easy to curve and thus came the existence of pumpkin jack-o-lanterns that are a house hold creation in United States.
It is believed that the custom of making jack-o'-lanterns at Halloween began in Ireland. In the 19th century, "turnips or mangel wurzels, hollowed out to act as lanterns and often carved with grotesque faces," were used at Halloween in parts of Ireland and the Scottish Highlands.
In 1866, the children's magazine "Harper's Young People" reported that "a great sacrifice of pumpkins" had been made that for that year's Halloween celebrations.
Pumpkin carving grew more and more popular as the years went on. By the 1920s, Halloween had been embraced throughout the United States. Parties and costumes became the norm, and "trick or treating" soon followed in the mid-1930s.
Massachusetts farmer John Howden developed the Howden pumpkin in the 1960s, and it is still the most popular carving pumpkin in America.
Pumpkin carving is become a multi-million dollar industry; American Farmers have for many years explored new ideas to breed new lines of squash especially for carving. There are many creative ways Pumpkin can be incorporated into meals, including desserts, soups, salads, preserves and even as a substitute for butter; which can be called as "Pumpkin Butter", etc.
On the occasion of Halloween, Bakeries and Coffee Shops stocks their shelves with pumpkin flavored threats, from muffins and lattes to ravioli.
You may found many of things that are directly or indirectly linked with Pumpkin in Halloween. So, there is no doubt if we say Halloween is nothing without Pumpkin.
will definitely get pleasant knowledge.

Allentown actress Lara Jill Miller thinks NBC made a mistake in writing her character out of its long-running comedy "Gimme a Break."
The network has made it official and announced that while the series starring Nell Carter has been renewed for the 1986-87 season, it would continue without the three teen-age daughters who have grown up on screen since the series premiered in 1981. Miller, along with Kari Michaelson and Lauri Hendler, will no longer be regular cast members "but may make occasional guest-starring appearances as scripts and availability require," said NBC.
"I'm sorry, but I think they made a big mistake," said Miller, who played Samantha, from her Allentown home this week. "With the show in syndication now, the girls are really popular. I think they (NBC) are going to lose the whole teen audience. Nell and Addy (Telma Hopkins) have the black audience and Joey (Lawrence) brought in some of the younger people, but the young kids really liked to watch the teen-age girls."
Miller says she doesn't really know where the elimination process began as the show's center began to focus more and more on Carter's character. "Over the last two years there were only occasional scripts about one of us girls," said Miller. "I don't know if it was the writers, or our own producers, and if NBC then said 'Look, they're not being used; they're not really needed.' Who knows where decisions on scripts first come from?"
Rumors she has heard about guest shots, said Miller, "supposedly are something like four, maybe the first two episodes, and then Christmas, and then one show about each of us." It's definite that Hendler's and Michaelson's characters of Katie and Julie will be staying in California, where the series had been set for the last five years, "but my character may be going to school in New York," said Miller. But that is so much conjecture, too, she added.
Not being under contract anymore means she can concentrate on moving her career along. "I stayed in Los Angeles an extra month for auditions and screen tests after the show was over," Miller said. "I would love to go back and do episodes if I'm free, but hopefully, I'll have another job." Now that she is back in Allentown, she is commuting almost daily to New York for auditions.
She is busy traveling around the country as a celebrity sponsor lining up volunteer aid for Hands Across America, and she'll be back in Los Angeles Memorial Day weekend to judge a pageant. If the screen test she had earlier this week pans out, she'll stay there. If she's in the first two transition episodes of "Gimme a Break," as unofficial word has it, she'll start in July.
"Otherwise, I'll go to school in September" until something comes along.

Christie: Should Lisa Rivera, accused of stealing school funds, resign?
Greenacres Councilwoman Lisa Rivera has been mum since being arrested Monday on grand theft charges.
Any way you slice it, this situation ugly.
Ugly for the Palm Beach County School District. Ugly for school students and parents. But most of all, ugly for the residents and taxpayers of Greenacres.
The arrest of District I Councilwoman Lisa Rivera on grand theft charges on Monday has the sprawling suburb in a tizzy.
After calling Monday a "terrible day," Councilwoman Paula Bousquet said: "I've had some concerns about some of the decisions (Rivera) made and why they were made… It was just a sad day."
"The impact is the exposure to the city," City Manager Andrea McCue said. "But there was no involvement by the city. We just want to make sure we continue with business as usual."
It's a little hard to believe that's really possible given that we've yet to hear from Rivera since she was arrested on charges of stealing more than $23,000 between 2013 and 2015 while she was treasurer at Boca Raton High School.
Her arrest on the charges, which also included official misconduct and organized scheme to defraud — all felonies — was the second in a week of a county schools treasurer. That alone helped draw attention to the incident.
But Rivera is also a twice-elected public official who last ran unopposed. As the first elected Latina, she also ran as a change agent against the city's "old political guard," led by former Mayor Sam Ferreri.
No surprise then that Ferreri was not especially kind in his comments about Rivera's arrest. He called his old nemesis' high-profile arrest a "sad day" for Greenacres. "It's a disgrace to the people she represents," Ferreri said. "It's an embarrassment to the city."
That was before Gov. Rick Scott late Wednesday suspended Rivera in lieu of the charges against her.
The Greenacres City Council, seen here honoring City Clerk Joanna Cunningham (center) in May, is having to move forward without Rivera.
RELATED: Governor suspends Greeancres Councilwoman Lisa Rivera
That left the city council with either having to find a temporary replacement. But they are in familiar territory.
The city appointed Anderson Thelusme to fill out the remaining year of former Councilman Jonathan Pearce's District IV seat when Pearce ran for mayor earlier this year.
Officials said the city will now advertise Rivera's seat, and begin accepting resumes and letters of interest ahead of the July 17 council meeting where they will conduct interviews.
But this also raises the inevitable question — among others — of whether Rivera should resign her seat while fighting these charges.

Curiously, she has yet to make a statement to the media or to her constituents, if for no other reason than to put the latter's minds at ease.
Other than her denial of the allegations against her last October, Rivera and her husband — a Palm Beach County Sheriff's deputy — have been mum about the charges or her plans.
But, as they say, nature abhors a vacuum. Not making a statement only invites insinuations and rumors when the residents of Greenacres deserve facts and ultimately truth.
That first has to come from Rivera. If there was ever a time for that brash, no-nonsense style to take center stage it is now.
The people who voted for her, and supported her are waiting.
What do you think Rivera's next move should be?

Post endorsements: In Greenacres, Pearce, Albert
If there ever was a time for Greenacres to put an end to years of tumult and divisiveness, this Tuesday is it.
For the first time in 29 years, this city of roughly 40,000 will have a new mayor. Sam Ferreri, who first came into that position at the tail end of the Reagan Administration, will not seek a 15th term. Miffed by the direction of the City Council in recent years — refer back to the aforementioned "tumult and divisiveness" — the 61-year-old says he's had enough of the infighting.
That's good. Because now maybe the council can get on with a more cohesive vision for where the city should be headed over the next 5 or 10 years.
Jonathan Pearce
But first, there is the matter of replacing Ferreri. The Post recommends current District 4 Councilman Jonathan Pearce. The source of much of Ferreri's angst and ire the past several years, Pearce has a clear vision for where and how he'd like to lead the city. For the "how," for example, he'll immediately propose — as part of a charter review — limiting the mayor to four consecutive terms, or eight years. As for the "where," he'd like to beef up the accreditation of the Fire-Rescue Services Department over the next two years and continue to add to an undermanned Code Enforcement Department to help bring along the older section of the city.
"We're in good financial shape, and have good momentum," Pearce said, adding that the city needs to capitalize with more projects like the new Nissan dealership coming to Lake Worth Road.
Pearce's opponent, Joel Flores, agreed with the message of fiscal responsibility and economic development. The 35-year-old political newcomer said, however, the city has been hamstrung by "complete divisiveness and two groups going in opposite directions."
"I want to bring the city together," said Flores, who sits on the city Planning Commission, by implementing a visionary program for infrastructure improvement that would attract investors and business to the city.
We agree. But Pearce already has good working relationships in the city that put him in a much better position to make that happen.
Michael Albert
In the District 5 race, the Post recommends Michael D. Albert to replace incumbent Councilwoman Paula Bousquet. Albert, 35, said the city has to do a better job of communicating with residents so they can give more input on the direction of their city. "There needs to be a lot more listening and collaboration on the council," he said.
He, Bousquet and a third candidate, retired Greenacres police officer William E. Kluth, pretty much agree on issues such as more annexation of parcels to the west, improving infrastructure with money from the penny sales tax hike and attracting business investment.
But Bousquet's council experience also includes coming down on the wrong side of the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office vote that has largely contributed to the divisive atmosphere.
It's time to move on. Albert, associate director of Concord Law School and Kaplan University, will bring a much-needed perspective to the city council that focuses on young families. For example, he told the Post Editorial Board that park improvements are fine but investing in a water park for families with kids is better.
That kind of novel, innovative thinking will be useful on the council.
Palm Beach Post endorsements for the March 14 municipal elections will be posted online throughout this week on a city by city basis. They will be published in total in the Sunday, March 12, print edition.

Letter: Greenacres' ranking by Cerabino is insulting
It would appear that writer Frank Cerabino's opinions are self-based ("Who would be crazy enough to rate Palm Beach County's cities and towns from worst to best?" April 10). His review and ranking of Greenacres, where I reside, is insulting, and any fact-checking is missing. Although I am not Asian, he neglected to include them in our mix of residents.
And "a little bit of everything and a lot of nothing" is so far off-base, it proves he not only knows nothing about our community but didn't bother to find out. Just going to our city's website would have enlightened him.
Additionally, I submit he should check out a feature article in The Post (on April 7, 2012) about my community: Park Pointe.

Talk Back: Do you bother voting in your local municipal elections in the spring?
Despite the level of acrimony and contentiousness in last March's West Palm Beach mayoral race between incumbent Mayor Jeri Muoio and and longtime City Commissioner Kimberly Mitchell, voter turnout was still only about 19 percent. That means four of five registered voters didn't vote. (Lannis Waters/The Palm Beach Post) (Lannis Waters/The Palm Beach Post)
One of the confounding problems in our democratic society is consistently low voter turnout.
There are efforts by nonprofit agencies, voter rights groups, and even governmental entities that have made voting easier in many cases. But, as has been reported numerous times, there also have efforts seemingly geared toward making it tougher to cast a ballot.
The bottom line is that voter participation is pretty pathetic for a country that prides itself on being the beacon of democracy.
A look at how low the voter turnout rates are in the mostly spring local elections is enough to make former President Jimmy Carter want to spend more time here monitoring elections rather than doing so abroad.
A House bill that would basically force a uniform election schedule on municipalities, forcing an interesting debate about home rule versus voter participation.
Today's editorial comes down mostly on the side of voter participation in arguing that the bill is worth considering.
But is it too late to counter years of voter apathy?

Are you voting in your local election today?
Today is election day for 16 municipalities in Palm Beach County. Will voters turn out at the polls?
It's election day!
There are plenty of good races to motivate residents in Palm Beach County's municipalities to vote in today's elections.
A high-profile, and increasingly nasty race in West Palm Beach pits an incumbent riding an overall positive trend for the central city against a longtime commissioner who believes she can do a better job of carrying that momentum forward. In Lake Worth, things have gotten just as testy as issues of transparency have arisen. And residents of tiny Loxahatchee Groves are being bombarded with mailings and phone calls as two challengers look to shake up a perceived entrenched town council.
That's just a few of nearly two dozen races from Boca Raton to Pahokee to Juno Beach in which voters, many of whom watched their cities and towns struggle through the Great Recession, are deciding who will lead them during the recovery.
They will sort through the din of debates, speeches and political ads and decide their leaders for the next two to three years. The choices could, in some cases, have ramifications for far longer. But it will be the voters' choice. As it should be.
All that's left is to exercise that right.

Should cities repeal 'blue laws' that ban Sunday alcohol sales?
On Monday, Greenacres voted to repeal the ban on alcohol sales in effect from 7 a.m. to noon on Sundays. The change is expected to become final after a second vote Nov. 18.
Greenacres has voted to allow alcohol sales on Sunday mornings. (Palm Beach Post file photo)
Over the past decade many cities have erased "blue laws" from their books. Palm Beach County, Boynton Beach, Delray Beach and Boca Raton are others that joined the trend.
A survey by Greenacres staff found that most nearby cities – including Boynton, Lantana, Palm Springs and Atlantis – allowed alcohol sales on Sunday morning. Wellington and Royal Palm Beach still have blue laws.
No one is quite sure where the term "blue laws" comes from. Snopes.com debunks the common claim that early Puritans in America printed such laws on blue paper.
The term might be related to others, such as "blue stocking" and "blue nose," that refer to overly prudish requirements.
Although the U.S. Supreme Court has upheld blue laws – claiming to find reasonable secular purposes for enacting them – it is obvious that blue laws had their origin in attempts by Christian officials to enshrine their principles in ordinances.
The vote in Greenacres was 3-1, with Jonathan Pearce voting against. "It'll cause trouble with people walking around the streets half drunk on Sunday mornings," he said. "We don't need that."
Council member John Tharp disagreed. "It's good for business," he said.

Did HOA come down too hard on arrested butterfly lover?
As The Post's Willie Howard reported last week, 80-year-old John Buchholz ended up in handcuffs because of dispute with his homeowners association over the placement of his backyard plants.
John and Pat Buchholz, in their backyard after his plants were removed. (Post file photo)
He and his wife, Pat, have been at odds with the Cloisters Property Owners Association for years over demands that they remove plants along the association's property next to a fence behind the home. The association wants to plant sod. The Buchholzes want to keep the plants they've put there to attract butterflies.
When the association sent workers to remove the plants, John Buchholz, a retired Pratt & Whitney machinist, told them, "This is where you stop."
So association officials called the Greenacres Police, and Mr. Buchholz was handcuffed after he continued to obstruct the workers and, police say, screamed and yelled at the workers. He was charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest without violence.
His first court appearance is set for Tuesday.
Mr. Buchholz concedes that the homeowners association owns the property within 6 feet of the fence. But he prefers the native plants that have been there for more than a decade. The association says it needs to keep the property covered in grass to facilitate maintenance and to accommodate and easement for Florida Power and Light.

Bespoke wallcoverings with a British twist at Germany's first Premier Inn in Frankfurt.
Newmor has created bespoke wallcoverings for the communal areas within Germany's first Premier Inn. The hotel has adopted European-style open-plan lounge, dining and reception areas. The new hotel remains true to its heritage and carries a distinct British charm.
JSJ Design collaborated with Hamburg-based designers JOI Design to ensure the British brand also catered for local tastes. The concept was to create wallcoverings with a contemporary British library feel to sit alongside traditional Chesterfield sofas, and accessories such as colourful porcelain versions of the iconic British Bulldog.
Natural wood and warm tones are offset by bright shades of turquoise, sunny yellow accents and pink and purple highlights. Literature plays a big part, from Shakespeare to Lewis Carroll, and the designer played with elements of several classic texts in the design of the wallcoverings. Elsewhere, understated nods to English heritage can be found throughout the hotel.
The result is a contemporary multipurpose space that adapts to meet the changing needs of guests throughout their stay.
For more information about our bespoke wallcoverings, or to order samples click here or contact us on enquiries@newmor.com or 01938 551 990.
