WASHINGTON, July 31, 2018 – The call of the open road is never as loud as it is in the summer.
Many will opt to take their weekend getaway or summer vacation in a rental vehicle. Picking your car may not be the toughest decision you'll have to make at the rental counter. You'll be faced with the obligatory choice of whether to buy or pass on rental vehicle insurance coverage.
Before you make that choice, GEICO recommends that you first reach out to your auto insurer and then contact your credit card company. Your insurance company can tell you what types of rental vehicle coverage are already included on your personal vehicle policy. Also, many credit card companies offer some form of rental car coverage.
If you decide to err on the side of caution and purchase additional coverage at the rental counter, know what you are buying.
Liability coverage is a basic component of most car insurance policies. You may be able to pass on this if you have adequate liability coverage on your own vehicle. Your insurance company will be able to tell you for sure.
Personal accident insurance, which covers your medical bills in the event of a crash in a rental car, is another coverage that may not be necessary to purchase if you have personal injury protection or medical payments coverage on your auto policy and reliable health insurance. Your insurance carriers can tell you if this duplicates coverage that you already have.
Collision Damage Waiver (CDW)/Loss Damage Waiver is not insurance, per se, but a waiver that transfers financial responsibility from you to the rental car company in case of damage or theft.
Personal Effects Coverage covers your laptop, cell phone and other items if they are stolen from a rental car. But if you have a homeowners, renters or condo policy, your personal items will generally be covered even if they are stolen from a rental car. Again, your insurance company can help you decide if this coverage is necessary.

Hospital reports Pelé responding well to treatment for respiratory infection
The 82-year-old soccer legend has been hospitalized since Tuesday.

SAO PAULO — Brazilian soccer great Pelé is responding well to treatment for a respiratory infection and his health condition has not worsened over the latest 24 hours, the Albert Einstein hospital said Saturday.
The 82-year-old Pelé has been at the hospital since Tuesday.
Get well messages have poured in from around the world for the three-time World Cup winner, who is also undergoing cancer treatment. Kely Nascimento, Pelé's daughter, posted several pictures on Instagram from Brazil fans in Qatar wishing her father well with flags and banners. Buildings in the Middle Eastern nation also displayed messages in support of the former soccer great.

The Albert Einstein hospital said Friday that Pelé is getting antibiotics to treat an infection at the same time he undergoes chemotherapy against cancer. Pelé, whose real name is Edson Arantes do Nascimento, had a colon tumor removed in September 2021.
Neither his family nor the hospital has said whether the cancer had spread to other organs.
ESPN Brasil reported Wednesday that Pelé was taken to the hospital because of "general swelling."

The Real Rules
Congregational Action
By Rob Keithan
Congregations and the IRS Guidelines On Advocacy, Lobbying, and Elections
Download the PDF (21 pages)
Religious individuals and groups have played a prophetic role in public life throughout history by calling attention to oppression, demanding change, and holding leaders and institutions accountable for their actions and policies. While this is still true in the United States today, too many people are under the false impression that religious organizations cannot have a voice in the public policy arena as a result of the Constitutional separation of church and state or Internal Revenue Service (IRS) regulations. In reality, there are many activities that any religious group can do without jeopardizing its nonprofit tax-exempt status. There are restrictions on certain kinds of political actions, but the range of what is acceptable is wide enough to exhaust the time and resources of any congregation without crossing any regulatory lines.
This guide is composed largely of direct quotes from the most recent and relevant IRS publications, organized in a way that is intended to be user-friendly. All references are clearly documented with footnotes. The most authoritative IRS publication on nonprofits and electoral/political activity is Revenue Ruling 2007-41, released June 18, 2007. While an excellent source of information, it is not designed for a general audience. The more accessible IRS resource is publication 1828, Tax Guide for Churches & Religious Organizations (Rev. 08-2015). To access these documents, see "Section F: Additional Information and References" on page 21.
This document was last revised October 2016.
This resource is not intended to be formal legal advice; nor should it be used in place of legal counsel. It is intended to clarify Internal Revenue Service guidelines as they relate to religious organizations in the hope that more congregations will (1) choose to become involved in working for justice; and (2) know when it is important to seek legal advice.
This guide was researched and initially compiled by a volunteer, David S. May, a lawyer and member of Emerson Unitarian Church in Houston, TX. Many thanks to David for his hard work. Final production was done by Rev. Rob Keithan, Director of the UUA Washington Office for Advocacy. This most recent version was also updated by Rev. Keithan in his capacity as an independent Faith Organizing and Training Consultant. The UUA would also like to acknowledge the Alliance for Justice, whose publication The Rules of the Game: An Election Year Legal Guide for Nonprofit Organizations provided the general outline for this guide. The Alliance for Justice offers many relevant resources; please see "Section F: Additional Information and References" on page 21 for their contact information.

Q: Rails, Outputing a List of Users & Specifying if they are permissioned or not Here's what I have today:
I output a list of @users
What I need to do is output a list of users and say if they are assigned to the current project.
I could loop through each user and check in the database, but that would be a lot of data base hits, an additional 10 hits for displaying 10 users.
My question to you, is there a smart, more efficient, rails way to do this? Ideas:
Perhaps I load a list of all of a project's current users, and check against that array when outputting through the user's loop? Or maybe some other method?
Interested in hear your suggestions and if you don't mind a small code snippet to get me started.
Thank you!
UPDATE - adding models
User model
belongs_to :instance
has_many :permissions
has_many :projects, :through => :permissions

Permissions Model:
belongs_to :user
belongs_to :project
belongs_to :role

Project Model:
has_many :permissions
has_many :users, :through => :permissions

The query I'm using currently is:
@users = find(:all, :joins => :instance, :select => 'users.*, instances.domain', :conditions => ['fname LIKE ? or lname LIKE ?', "%#{search}%", "%#{search}%"])

What I want to know is, for the user being displayed. Are they currently a member of the project_id in the URL? Or if not, show an ADD Member button.

A: Use :include  (Just check this 4.1.2.7 :include )
 User.all( :include =>:projects )

MOSCOW, Feb 8 : Russia positively assesses the appointment of a new chief of the Taliban political office in Doha and believes that extended powers of the official will speed up Taliban's peace talks with the United States, Russian Foreign Ministry Second Asian Department Director Zamir Kabulov told Sputnik.
According to TOLOnews, Abdul Ghani Baradar, one of the founders of the radical movement recently released from a Pakistani jail, has been appointed the leader of Taliban political office in Doha. The move is reportedly aimed to boost peace talks with the United States.
"We positively assess the appointment of the new head of political office considering that the new official is one of the deputies to Taliban leader Mullah Haibatullah Akhundzada," Kabulov said. "The importance of the move lies in the fact that he is reportedly given authority to make decisions on the spot on behalf of the Taliban leadership... This will speed up the negotiations process to a certain extent," the Russian diplomat said.


It's my birthday. . .
It is 3:48am, and I'm sacrificing sleep for my true bliss . . . One hour of undisturbed block of writing. It is just my blogs but it is bliss.
No one interrupting me just to purposely step on my nerve.
No one asking if I am ok after I growl at previous person.
No one asking me to cook or make coffee.
No one complaining about some trivial thing.
No one giving me a random sports or video game piece of info I'll never use.
Just me with my endless head.
Between lack of comfort, lack of machinery, depression, and no lights on at night, I haven't been writing. Even now I have a creak in my neck, but I am getting some of my blogs done.
This weekend my goal is to write three short stories . . . One must be a holiday story.
If I was in a cafe with my current characters this what they and I would order. . .
Introduction: My Muses. . .
Most people would be put in a mental hospital for having many different pieces of personality. I don't have different personalities –I am a writer & storyteller: I have muses!
Emma and chorine are sisters. They love to argue about what conflict the characters are in and what direction my characters should go.
Jack is my male voice also known as Jack of all trades. Me has a loud & big ego or is always studying. If he doesn't know how to do something; he will study until he is a master at it. He has a big ego and if his ego is bruised, it's hard to get him to work.
Luna is my sci-fi & horror buff.
They work on paranormal and horror aspects of the stories. They like to work on how my characters die, get tortured, and kill. They will work with Jack on fights scenes.
Sandy is my girly girl (sometimes she is not always with it as her head is in the clouds) she is all romance. She would add the softness/gentleness and the romance in my stories. She get excited when a character has a crush on someone.
My characters are all stuck because my muses are really confused and depressed. . .
Emma is sitting in a chair as if she is at a therapist office talking to air about how her sister Chlorine likes to watch others bounce in a rubber room while wearing sparkling strait jackets. She is also gossiping about made rumors of characters I haven't even created yet.
Chlorine is binge watching drama TV shows on Netflix, and believing all of the characters are real.
Kelly thinks she is at a bar in the middle of the mall in which all of the stores are closed.
Luna is analyzing the sky and hoping to write fanfiction . . . none of her stories are finished.
Mary has been pretending to dig up random graves in a cemetery with Sam and Dean Winchester (supernatural) and Scooby doo gang.
Starre has been pretending to work the corner, but there are no cars.
I've been trying to get them to work together on my next book, but nothing has struck their interest. I hope by November they are able to work on NaNoWriMo with me.
Yay! I am down two distractions, and I am limited my third biggest issues. . .
April 21st Experience project ended. . . which was a huge distraction for me. I have noticed that I have written and focus so much since it's gone. I do miss the chatting.
I love to chat online. In real life I am a very shy person, but online I am very social. I can be a chatter bug. I have several friends online, and we usually just past quick notes back and forth.
Anyway, I was chatting with this guy for 13 weeks, everyday. I really liked this guy. I was excited to chat with him and I would get impatient until he got on. He occupied most of my thoughts. (I will leave his name out for his own privacy.) All of my story ideas were of us (him and me). . . my muses were getting flustered, my character were getting bored.
Then we fight, he confesses to lying about a bunch of stuff. . . and my story ideas, my hopes with him, and my trust were all shattered like a baseball through a window.
So now my night are more open for my writing. I am very excited. . . I have totes full of notebooks that need to be on my computer. It the past two days I have read 23 pages, and written over 1600 words.

Most Bet On Week 11 Nfl Games: K C Masterpiece On Menu

How To Use Public Betting And Money Percentages In Nfl Betting
Nfl Betting Archives
Both teams are coming off big wins, with the Falcons routing the Raiders and the Saints beating up on the QB-less Broncos. A fan-less NFL season is going to wreak havoc on the teams' bottom lines and when the teams are hurting, revenue is hurting. That is the key indicator for the cap, as yearly revenue and salary caps are proportionally related. Bettors need to be aware of this potential hazard before committing any significant units to future team totals or Super Bowl props. The current NFL salary cap is $182.5 million with an average year over year increase of $10-$12 million.
Examples include wagering on which team will win the NBA Championship or who will win the Heisman Trophy. Every year, football future betting fans analyze the Las Vegas Superbowl odds in great detail. Sportsbooks will assess the strengths and weaknesses of each team and determine a favorite in the odds to win Super Bowl glory.
Tampa https://amputeesplace.com/article/all-betting-sites_110820 Bay has not been the dominant defensive team that it was in the playoffs last year. But with Tom Brady guiding the offense, that has not made too much of a difference. They are 6-2, the offense is one of the best in the league, and Brady is throwing touchdown passes like they're beads at Mardi Gras. The loss to the Saints is disappointing, but fans will probably remember some of the lackluster games they had last season prior to winning the Super Bowl. GamingToday.com is an independent sports news and information service. GamingToday.com has partnerships with some of the top legal and licensed sportsbook companies in the US.
However, don't get too hung up on home advantage, as home dogs only cover the spread 48.62% of the time, while underdogs on the road come in at 53.72%. For Sunday games, NFL betting lines can be listed as early as the previous Sunday and fully populated with odds by Monday or Tuesday. Between the opening lines being published to kick-off, a lot changes. The plus and minus signs indicate which team the sportsbook favors in any game, directly impacting how you wager.
Furthermore, the defense is nowhere near as dominant as we expected them to be at the start of the season. Here are the Week 7 picks and predictions and NFL odds for Sunday's games as of 9 AM ET on October 21. If both these squads were healthy, this would be one of the easier Week 7 picks and predictions. In the end, I think Keenum can do just enough to keep this one close, and the Browns' impressive defense will help get them the win. With the news that Baker Mayfield will be out and Odell Beckham Jr. is also likely to miss the game, the Browns have gone from nearly touchdown favorites to laying less than a field goal.
The favorite will always have a (-) in front of their line, while the underdog will have a (+). There are several great NFL betting options, and this is another area that seems to grow each year. There are three very common NFL betting options available, but there are some unique ways to bet on the league as well. If the Eagles can't crack 100 rushing yards, they're going to have a tough time winning here.
You won't be able to place two wagers on the same game for instance, but you can bet on several different games, even games on different days of the week. Yes, betting on NFL games is legal and a very popular betting option – especially on Super Bowl Sunday. NFL odds are the most bet on sport in the United States, and have been growing exponentially since 2018. NFL parlays are extremely popular each NFL Sunday, and it couldn't be more simple to do. Choose between two to fifteen bets and combine the odds on your bet slip by creating a parlay. You will need all of these bets to be correct for your bet slip to pay out.
That game was played six days later, with heavily favored Pittsburgh holding on for a win. Las Vegas went 8-8 a year ago, which was the franchise's best finish since 2016. Except it was 6-3 at one point before closing the season with losses in five of its final seven games, including three by a combined eight points. A defense that ranked 30th in points allowed did the Raiders no favors, but Derek Carr's season splits tell a better story of the ups and downs.
The best way to ensure you get the best football lines available is to have a few outs or in other words accounts with a few reputable and competitive sportsbooks. Given that the NFL line can move significantly should you make your NFL line bets early in the week or wait until nearer to game time? For a look at some of the pros and cons of each approach visit our When to Place Your NFL Bet article. The lower-juice sportsbooks are normally found outside of the state Nevada. If you are in a state where sports betting is legal, please check out our online sportsbook directory to find the best and most secure places to make NFL bets. NFL prop bets focus on a specific event within an NFL game, but don't necessarily relate to the result.

                                            <button class="btn" name="WeekButtonGroup" id="week1_sat">

                                            <button class="btn" name="WeekButtonGroup" id="week1_thu">
                                                T</button>
                                            <button class="btn" name="WeekButtonGroup" id="week1_fri">

function highlightwhenclicked() {
 $('[name="WeekButtonGroup"]').each(function (index, element) {

            $(this).click(function () {
                   $(this).removeClass('active');

                    }
})
}

I know $(this).toggleClass can do this but how? I don't mind about what color but button must be high-lightened when clicked. Thanks in advance.

A: How about something like this?
$('.btn').click(function() {
    $(this).toggleClass('clicked');
});

Rouge
=====

A turn based top down RPG game. Written in C++ with Lua bindings.
Very much a work in progress.

Dependencies
------------

Requires
- g++
- OpenGL
- OpenAL
- LibOGG
- LibVorbis
- LibDevil

Windows
-------

Requires Microsoft Visual Studio 2010.
Should build out of the box.

Linux
-----

Additional requires FreeGlut for Linux.

    sudo apt-get install g++ libopenal-dev libalut-dev libdevil-dev libogg-dev freeglut3-dev

### Build
Defaults to building with debug symbols.

    make NODEP=yes -j 4

### Build Unit Tests
Builds in unit testing mode. The tests are found in the tests folder.

    make NODEP=yes TESTING=yes -j 4

Lua Documentation
-----------------

Requires Python 2.7.5 or Python 3.x to create the HTML documentation.

    cd python
    python main.py classList.txt

Prebuild Documentation
----------------------

An example of the documentation can be found [here](http://astrellon.github.io/Rouge/).

Features
--------

- Tile based 2D graphics with a tile overlapping system for blending
  between tiles, which uses a precedence for determining what goes
  ontop of what. Specific overlap
  graphics can be used when two specific tiles meet (ie, sand and water).
- Sound system that supports streaming OGG and WAV files, for long music
  playback without having to store everything in memory.
- Lua Bindings for controlling just about every aspect of the game.
  From how a new game is created and loaded to how a door should behave
  when interacted with.
- All characters in game are treated equal. Each NPC has their own inventory,
  their own set of stats, and body parts. Each character can have their own
  set of body parts, this allows for races with many arms, or a playable
  horse, or a disabled character that is missing a limb.
- All maps are also Lua scripts, which allows for a map to be procedurally
  generated and saved with a save file to maintain the same map for a given
  save whilst being different for a new game.
- A dialogue system based on The Elder Scrolls: Morrowind with topics,
  keywords and actions binded to those keywords.
- An asset manager that allows for textures and sounds to be reloaded at run
  time from disk. Scripts can also be reloaded at run time in theory.
- HTML documentation taken from the C++ comments using a Python script.
- In game text uses a simplistic CSS and HTML system for doing styles.
- Saving and loading is done via Lua scripts, where everything is serialised
  to Lua structures.
- Scripts for items and characters can be changed between saves to allow for
  updates without breaking save files. Only changes that affect behaviour
  will take affect however, changes based on the initial stats for a character
  or item are not taken into account except for new items.

Screenshots
-----------

Here is an example of the game screen with current paths for the player and
an NPC. Also showing the Inspector window which tells the player what is
currently on a given tile.
![Screenshot of the game](http://i.imgur.com/Ntkdf7n.png)

An example of the dialogue system. Words spoken by the NPCs are shown on the
left with keywords highlighted that can be clicked. Topics that have been
unlocked by clicking on keywords are shown on the right.
![Dialogue Screenshot](http://i.imgur.com/EYZO3OP.png)

An example of the in game editor. UI is all placeholder, but tiles can be
painted onto a map of a given size, tile overlapping updates in real time.

Gum disease is a condition that most American adults have heard about, whether from their dentist or the media. We discuss gum disease with our patients during routine dental visits and closely monitor gum health so that we can identify the smallest signs of irritation and infection. The infectious process of gum disease is rooted in plaque and the bacteria that naturally occur in the mouth. Without regular dental hygiene (brushing and flossing), it is easy for plaque and tartar to get out of control. In our Brentwood family dental practice, we teach patients how to care for teeth at home, and provide gentle professional cleanings for the removal of plaque and tartar.
Within plaque, there may be millions of oral bacteria finding a safe haven. The purpose of brushing twice a day and flossing daily is to remove plaque and the bacteria it hides. If plaque is not removed, the substance will harden into tartar, which is more difficult to remove, and even more welcoming to harmful bacteria.
Gum disease is progressive, beginning with such mild signs that many people miss them. When gum disease first develops as gingivitis, the gums may look slightly red. Bleeding may occur when teeth are brushed or flossed, and bad breath might develop. If these early signs of gum disease are quickly addressed with a professional cleaning and outstanding home care, it is possible to stop the infection process in its tracks.
If, however, the signs of gingivitis are missed or not addressed, gum disease will progress to periodontitis. By this point, it is no longer possible to reverse gum disease. Periodontitis may be recognized as gum recession or even slight puffiness in gum tissue around a tooth or teeth. This puffiness is indicative of periodontal pockets. Treating periodontitis with deep professional cleaning removes bacteria, plaque, and tartar from above and below the gum line.
Several factors affect the overall health of gum tissue. When gum disease is a problem, patients are encouraged to avoid tobacco products and make healthy dietary choices that facilitate balance in the oral ecosystem. At Brentwood Family Dental, we tailor dental care to the needs of each individual patient.

City of the Dream, 1940-1970
CHAPTER FIVE: A Fiesta – Re-Living the Days of the Dons
By the 1950's the breakup of the central City as a trading center was beginning, a trend already in evidence in other large cities across the nation. The auto was winning out in the shaping of the modern city. There were not enough curbside spaces to accommodate all the autos which were crowding into the central cities. Something had to give. More than 400 cities of 10,000 or more in population had tried to meet the challenge by providing off-street parking lots or garages. In Denver, $3,700,000 in revenue bonds had been sold to finance public parking. Memphis had adopted plans for a 500-car underground garage. Boston had accumulated a $500,000 reserve for similar facilities out of parking meter revenues. San Francisco and Los Angeles were reported taking the same direction.
The San Diego City Council, under the urging of its City Manager, O. W. Campbell, came up with a program of its own, a proposal permitting the City Council to issue revenue bonds to establish off-street parking, to be paid back out of parking meter revenues. Mayor Knox insisted that only marginal land on the edge of the business district would be used to relieve downtown congestion, and ridiculed suggestions that as many as sixty full blocks would be taken off the tax rolls.
Proponents, who included the great majority of San Diego's downtown business and professional leaders, called the program "as sound as the San Francisco Bay Bridge" which had been built with revenue bonds secured by bridge tolls, and that those who were opposed to it were profiting from the scarcity of available parking space. Elmer H. Blase was chairman of the City-Wide Committee for Off-Street Parking. But, again, it was Mayor Knox who carried the fight, accusing opponents of distorting facts to confuse the poor old voters and that such tactics were the same used by Communists and were the surest way to bring socialism to America.
In the view of the opposition, the diversion of parking meter revenue would reduce the general fund and bring about an increase in property taxes. Oscar W. Cotton, a realtor and chairman of the San Diego Committee for Free Enterprise, charged that if the plan was carried out on the basis suggested, it would destroy a major part of San Diego's downtown area for the benefit of a small congested center.
The proposal was easily defeated, by a margin of better than two to one. In the same year, in 1950, Sears, Roebuck and Company announced it was moving its operations from downtown to a new twelve-acre site in the Hillcrest area.
In Los Angeles, financial and business interests turned their eyes toward San Diego, with its rising military and industrial payrolls, due to the action in Korea and the widening of the Cold War. In a year 6,000 new homes had been constructed, 12,000 in the County as a whole. And the advances of science and engineering arising from World War II were beginning to spawn new phases of industry.
The Security Trust & Savings Bank of San Diego was merged into the Security First National Bank of Los Angeles. Allen J. Sutherland, president of the local bank, said that larger financial resources would now be made available to finance the progress of San Diego. With the exception of the Bank of America, the financial institutions in San Diego had been all locally controlled; now power was shifting toward a new financial center 125 miles to the north. The Security Trust was sixty-four years old and had been founded in 1893 as the Blochman Banking Co.
By 1952, Ewart W. Goodwin, the old-line Percy H. Goodwin Company, a real estate and insurance firm, was able to claim:
"The familiar discussion of geraniums or factories is a dead issue here. Industrialization is here and here to stay and grow. Despite the fears of old-timers, who saw the ruination of San Diego as a pleasant place to live — and a great tourist attraction — with the coming of factories and workers, San Diego is a more attractive City than it was twenty years ago."
The year 1951 also saw the end of another civic ambition that had kept alive the hopes of many early promoters and developers. Passenger service was abandoned by the San Diego & Arizona Railway, which ran from San Diego to the Imperial Valley by a circuitous route through Baja California in order to avoid the numerous mountain crests. The line had been the project of John D. Spreckels, who at the start had the secret cooperation of the Southern Pacific, and he had hoped it would end the City's geographical and economic isolation. The San Diego & Arizona connected with the Southern Pacific, whose main line still ran to Los Angeles by way of San Gorgonio Pass. No rush of passengers to San Diego arrived by this southern route; and rail shipments had not yet indicated that San Diego would become the port of entry for the goods in and out of the Southwest. Major trials for San Diego still lay ahead when Harley Knox, tired and listening to warning signs in his own life, declined in 1951 to run for re-election. Thus the man who had guided the City through the war years and through the crisis of survival in the matter of a water supply, passed from the official scene. He was to die in 1956 of a heart attack at the age of fifty-seven. An attorney, John D. Butler, was elected Mayor over Councilman Gerald Crary. He was the first native son to assume the office in the City's history.
But before Knox retired, he had witnessed an act of the people which wrote a formal end for the time to the grouping of public buildings. Advocates of a new Public Library, to replace the one built forty years before with funds from the Carnegie Foundation, were successful in winning voter approval to tear down the old structure and replace it with a new and larger building, on the same site on E Street between Ninth and Tenth Avenues, a long way from Cedar Street. The Library opened on June 27, 1954.
Watching the "downtown revolution" which was sweeping over larger American cities, George A. Scott had quietly retained research and design firms to study and recommend a future course for the Walker Scott department store. The Great Depression had not run its course when the Walker Scott Corporation moved into a deserted department store building and opened San Diego's second locally-held major downtown department store, at the very heart of the City, Fifth Avenue and Broadway.
In September of 1954 he announced that he personally had acquired sixty-two acres of land in the eastern section of the metropolitan area, at the junction of Broadway and College Grove Avenue, not far from Lemon Grove. Scott in making his announcement, said:
"… experience in other cities indicates clearly that San Diego is rapidly approaching the size and economic status that justify the development of an integrated shopping center . …"
The selected site, though at the time outside the City limits, was near the center of San Diego's long-time growth pattern, on the mesa eastward to the foothills, and already construction was progressing rapidly on a new freeway that eventually would connect the downtown area, at Eighteenth and F Streets, with Grossmont summit and Highway 80, a distance of a little more than eleven miles, and designed to serve what then was the fastest-growing area in the County, La Mesa, Lemon Grove, Spring Valley and Grossmont.
Within a year the land had been sold to a Los Angeles real estate developer and the Walker Scott Corporation signed the first lease for the building of a major department store in what would be known as the College Grove Center. There would be space for 5,000 autos at one time, 17,500 during a shopping day, and perhaps as many as forty stores. But the road ahead would be a long and troubled one, and six years would pass before the goal could be reached.
There was no thought of abandoning downtown. Scott simultaneously announced that Walker Scott would expand its store as evidence "of our belief that the downtown shopping district will remain a major factor in serving the 750,000 persons who comprise the metropolitan area."
A year after the City voted in favor of a new Public Library, the County voters failed to return the necessary two-thirds majority on a proposal to build a new Hall of justice, but the proposition came back two years later and was approved. The new Courthouse and jail were to replace the old structure on Broadway, between Front Street and First Avenue.
Thirty years had gone by since the Community Auditorium, a building left over from the Exposition of 1915-16, had burned down the evening of the firemen's ball. In 1939, the San Diego Convention Bureau had unsuccessfully urged that the Federal Building in Balboa Park, built for the 1935-36 Exposition, be converted into a convention facility. In 1949, the grouping of public buildings, including a Civic Auditorium and Convention Hall along Cedar Street, had been defeated. Other proposals had been discussed and rejected, including the erection of a Convention Hall on Horton Plaza and the land immediately to the south, by private interests. Subsequently the City Council authorized a research institute to conduct a survey to study the economic and cultural value of a Civic Auditorium and Convention Hall to San Diego, and to recommend a site.
Since the end of World War II, the nature of the national economy had been changing. Higher pay, longer vacations, new highways and more autos, faster and larger airplanes, and the great expansion of business, industrial, professional and civic conventions, were sending people in all directions as never before in history.
In its earlier days San Diego had been looked upon as a Winter resort country, for the well-to-do who could afford extended vacations in the seasons of rough weather in the Midwest and East. Hotel del Coronado and the La Valencia Hotel in La Jolla and La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club had represented the type of resort living that attracted the Winter people. Now Summer travel and conventions were the attractions for new millions of people. And San Diego was convinced it had a year-around climate superior to any other city in the nation, and the vacation potentials of Mission Bay were just beginning to be fully appreciated.
The research report took the City back to Cedar Street, recommending as a site a four-block area bounded by Cedar and Ash Streets on the north and south and First and Third Avenues on the west and east.
Several buildings were proposed to form what was considered an economically feasible public assembly facility for sports events, spectacles and conventions; a Concert Hall and Little Theater, and an Exhibit Hall for conventions and trade shows, and with adequate parking. Conventions, concerts and traveling dramatic productions were being accommodated in school auditoriums, principally the Russ Auditorium of San Diego High School at the southern edge of Balboa Park, or in scattered park buildings.
The arguments were persuasive. Only three cities with populations in excess of 250,000 were without public assembly facilities. A bond issue of $8,500,000 was placed on the ballot for the June election in 1956. The San Diego Union took a look at Miami Beach and told the voters what they could achieve if they so desired, as residents of the nineteenth largest metropolitan area in the country:
"Competition for tourists and conventions … has grown more intense . … While other cities have stepped ahead in providing attractions for visitors, San Diego has worked largely with pre-war tools . … San Diego will move forward culturally and economically if the June 5 election … is favorable. A yes vote will mean dollars and entertainment for the community."
The four blocks were considered to be depressed in value and therefore acceptable for public use and were accessible to downtown hotels and restaurants. Sites in Balboa Park and Mission Valley were considered too remote. Opponents, however, merely claimed it was "Cedar Street Mall Again."
But a new Mayor, Charles C. Dail, an insurance man and a former Councilman, who had been elected to succeed John Butler, insisted that a Cedar Street Mall was impossible because some public buildings already had been scattered about the downtown area.
The Convention Hall and Civic Theater complex received the approval of a majority of the voters who went to the polls, but lacked the two-thirds margin required for a bond issue. But as the decision had been so close, petitions were circulated to put the issue back on the ballot in November, this time with a new name, the Hall of the Americas, with George Scott leading the campaign. It seemed certain that it would win the second time around. Such was not the case. There wasn't even a majority vote in favor of it. A City centered on Cedar Street, which had been with the City's leaders for so many years, was dead and buried for good.
Not all of the opposition was based on taxes or anti-Cedar Street sentiment. There were doubts as to how the City should proceed in regard to its future. Before the November voting, a committee representing the Downtown Association listened to what was being described as a "downtown revolution" sweeping other American cities and how 100 or 200 blocks in San Diego could be torn apart and re-assembled as a "city of the future." Piecemeal solutions were held to not be valid any longer, and the random placing of public buildings would only add to the problems arising with growth and increasing traffic. The committee was conscious of the planning then under way for a new crosstown freeway that would take traffic entering San Diego from the north, sweep it across the City on an elevated roadway, with off- and on-ramps serving the downtown area.
A Los Angeles architect, Victor Gruen, who had presented a similar concept for downtown Fort Worth, described a plan which would create a downtown pedestrian preserve surrounded by freeways, with ramps leading to parking garages, and electric glide-cars serving all facilities. Accomplishment would be by stages, with new buildings and open green spaces replacing older structures as they could be torn down.
On the committee were Morley H. Golden, chairman, and Walter Ames, Chester Dorman, James Forward, Jr., Philip L. Gildred, George Henderson, Carleton Lichty, Hamilton Marston, Peter Peckham, Allen J. Sutherland and Charles K. Fletcher. It was heady stuff, and they were not ready to commit themselves, or all downtown interests. But the idea of a "City Beautiful" was taking a new form.
The citizens had no hesitancy in producing sufficient votes for schools, harbor improvements, water distribution, and Mission Bay development. But time and again they turned back suggestions that the salary of the Mayor and Councilmen be substantially increased. Under the City Charter, administrative and executive responsibilities rested with the City Manager with power partly diffused through commissions, and with the Mayor and Councilmen in the roles of policy makers. Over the years voters had refused to disturb the system by providing any remunerative excuses for City fathers to assume roles beyond those granted in the City Charter. They feared a return to politics by opening the door to full-time Mayors and Councilmen. Service to the City called for candidates who had substantial private incomes.
The voters did relent somewhat in June of 1956 by raising the pay of Councilmen from $2,000 to $5,000 a year but at the same time, and for the fifth time, rejecting an increase in the Mayor's $5,000 salary. Now the Mayor presumably was only one among equals. Politics being what they are, and leadership resting with persuasion, strong-willed men made strong mayors anyway. Percy Benbough had been one; Harley Knox was another. They sought to bend events to their will, though not always successfully. But the voters relented again in November, at the time of rejecting the Convention Hall and Theater, and in view of the demands on the time of the Mayor as the City's ceremonial chief, and assured that he would not hereafter enjoy an expense account, raised his salary to $12,000.
But while enough voters were still reluctant to accept the idea of taxing themselves to make San Diego a convention and tourist center, a new San Diego was ready to emerge and events more than political decisions soon would determine the course of growth.
In 1953 a developer by the name of Charles H. Brown had a study conducted as to where in the Southwest he should build a resort-type hotel. All factors pointed to San Diego, and after further study, to Mission Valley. The valley then was a quiet retreat in the geographical heart of the City, with riding stables and bridal paths. The site was at the junction of two freeways. One ran north and south, the other east and west. They connected the site with Mission Bay, waterfront commercial activities, downtown San Diego, the principal highway leading from San Diego eastward, and the mesa to the north which was beginning to fill with homes and businesses. There was room for a ranch-type hotel with swimming pools, tennis courts and other recreational facilities that could not be offered in the central City by the older hotels such as the U. S. Grant, San Diego and El Cortez Hotels. Brown declared Mission Valley to be the "perfect location." In a few years the decisions which had moved him to locate in Mission Valley would have explosive effects.
The fortunes of San Diego had so risen and fallen with war and aviation that any alteration in ownership and management of Convair was certain to have repercussions throughout the community. On March 30, 1953, it was announced that control of Convair would pass to a new corporation, General Dynamics, which had purchased 400,000 shares from the Atlas Corporation. On May 15, John Jay Hopkins, chairman and president of General Dynamics Corporation, succeeded Floyd Odlum as chairman of Convair. It was the third change in management since Convair's arrival in San Diego. It became formally the Convair division of General Dynamics.
The new division president was General Joseph T. McNarney, who had retired from the Army after thirty-two years of distinguished service which included the command of United States Forces in the European Theater and Occupied Germany. On Convair's twentieth anniversary in San Diego, in 1955, he reported that slightly more than one in eight wage and salary earners in San Diego were employed at Convair and "During the next two decades they will face scientific and industrial challenges undreamed of in 1935 and only dimly discernible today . . . ."
But the benign climate was still considered San Diego's greatest asset. Even Convair had come to San Diego because of it. In the past there had been two Expositions which had sought to spread far and wide the blessings of warm Winters and cool Summers. People could be induced to come to San Diego, to spend money; and perhaps to return, to buy land and build homes and even establish plants which might employ others who would surely come in time. Selling of land was still a principal business in Southern California. San Diegans wanted their share of the returns from the great Westward movement. The velocity of real estate sales per thousand of population in San Diego County was double that of Denver, Colorado, and more than four times those of Chicago and Washington, D. C.
As far back as 1950 the City's business leaders had envisioned still another exposition of international character, and even had agreed to subscribe $2,000,000 for it. But the Korean war postponed any such plan and by the time it was over, most of them were convinced an international exposition for a City the size of San Diego was now impossible. Wayne Dailard agreed.
On August 13, 1955, Ewart W. Goodwin, president of the Exposition Corporation, announced there would be a great annual Festival of the Pacific designed to draw thousands of tourists for a spectacle rivaling New Orleans' Mardi Gras.
Wayne Dailard, a polo playing showman of many years, had successfully rejuvenated the Santa Barbara Fiesta and then had turned his attention to San Diego. He also was convinced — and perhaps had convinced Goodwin — that the old world's fair idea was obsolete, and in the words ofSan Diego Magazine, he proposed, instead:
"Threading a ribbon through La Jolla's caves and looping it over the back country and on along toward the border … tying together the city's permanent summertime attractions and interlace them with a series of special events. Parade and pageant, tournament and aquashow, costumed street dance and formal ball."
He told his story to a hundred community leaders who formed the nucleus of an organization pledged to plan for San Diego's first annual Festival of the Pacific. The San Diego Union commented:
"It has long been evident that Los Angeles, once the tourist mecca of the West, has industrialized itself from that role. Vacationers don't like to grope around in smog, tears in their eyes … the capital will shift . … Santa Barbara's `Old Spanish Days' draws 100,000 visitors."
An executive committee was named, to include Goodwin, George A. Scott, Allen J. Sutherland, Anderson Borthwick, Harry Callaway, G. H. Dillon, Robert M. Golden, E. Robert Anderson, Kenneth Nairne, Charles Brown, William Goetz, Carleton Lichty, John Quimby and Walter Ames, with G. Aubrey Davidson, president of the 1915 Exposition, and Guilford Whitney, a leading merchant, honorary chairmen. They represented a cross-section of banking, building, business, newspaper and television interests, the legal profession, and organized labor. Most of their names had appeared on the lists of all the things that a new leadership had tried to accomplish in what they were convinced was the spirit of civic ambitions as defined by the pioneers.
Expositions might have passed from the scene because of the attraction of television as a vehicle for introducing or exhibiting new products. But, if Alonzo Horton and a group of earlier residents in Old Town had been able to summon a City into being, and if a City of less than 40,000 in population could have conceived the Panama-Pacific Exposition, certainly a City now eleven times that in size, could invoke a similar unity and enthusiasm.
But enthusiasm at first came slowly and Goodwin told the San Diego Convention and Tourist Bureau members that they could have a "Frankenstein monster" on their hands if they did not contribute wholeheartedly toward the fiesta's success. A budget of $300,000 was set and Sutherland was designated to head the subscription campaign. The City and County governments gave $50,000 each.
The centerpiece of the celebration would be presentation of "The California Story." This was a state-owned historical pageant first presented in the Hollywood Bowl in 1950 for California's Centennial celebration, under the general direction of Dailard. Governor Goodwin J. Knight released "The California Story" to San Diego. "San Diego stands at the portal of this rich, moving saga," Dailard announced. "Here California History began."
The Festival of the Pacific was translated into Spanish, and the fiesta became Fiesta del Pacifico. By the Summer of the following year, everything was in readiness. The money had been raised, the pageant rehearsed with 1,300 participants and thirty-five scenes which would require a stage in the Balboa Stadium as long as a city block. The fiesta was to run for thirty-three days; the pageant for fourteen days.
Production of the pageant was to be under the direction of Vladimir Rosing of the New York City Center Opera, with the symphony orchestra and 150-voice choir to be led by Meredith Wilson, a musician and song writer of popular reputation.
Spanish-type costumes appeared in retail stores. The men's designated costume would have flat, rounded hat, a tie with sequins, a shirt milled for Mexican weddings, and spangled stripes down pant edges. Women were to don flowing skirts and mantillas, and wear large, high combs in their hair. The official fiesta colors were to be red and black. In June, thirty-two Navy jet fighters flew over the City streaming, red, green and yellow ribbons, the colors of Spain.
The fiesta opened with a grand parade of nearly 3,000 persons, with 200 richly-costumed men and women astride horses, 200 girls on floats tossing flowers at spectators, the massing of 500 American flags, twelve flags which had flown over California, and seventeen bands.
Everybody had a good time. The pageant was well attended, with the staging of California history from the explorer Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo to, eventually, the earthquake in San Francisco. Harry L. Foster received a special honor for his success in developing the parade. All agreed the fiesta should be presented annually. That is, perhaps all except members of the City Council. Councilmen refused to donate City funds for a 1957 fiesta, refused to rehabilitate the Ford Building of the 1935 Exposition for a fiesta headquarters and exhibit hall, and appeared reluctant to allow the Spanish Village to be diverted for such affairs. Cooperation would extend only in services.
There was some feeling in the community that the chief benefactor of the fiesta had not been the City and the tourist business but Dailard and his co-workers who had produced "The California Story" around which San Diegans had costumed, danced and paraded. It was agreed that the fiesta had run too long and next time it would be reduced from thirty-three days to eighteen. It had been difficult to sustain the interest of the citizens for that length of time and often visitors, arriving between events, had trouble finding what the fiesta was all about. There were more private parties than public events, and sales of Spanish-type costumes had not come up to expectations.
Fiesta del Pacifico ran for three more Summers, though its originator, Dailard, had been forced out, and then quietly passed from the scene. Vacationers who came to San Diego in the Summer were more interested in doing something themselves than in watching somebody else's performances. The tourist business, however, had seemed to be on the increase. In 1952 the money left behind by tourists was estimated at $75,000,000. In 1956, the figure was set at more than $130,000,000. Two years later, however, the rise had slowed somewhat and the revenue was estimated at $144,000,000. The fiesta, in a way, competed with the normal Summer attractions and hotels and motels wanted it presented in "off' seasons when rooms were more available.
San Diego also did not have the civic cohesiveness that could be found in a smaller city such as Santa Barbara or exhibited in the long tradition of the New Orleans' Mardi Gras. Of the 490,000 residents in the City in 1956, less than half of them might have been in San Diego in 1940. It was now a City of strangers.

                  items="${constants}" itemValue="id" itemLabel="description" multiple="true"  />

I retrieve constants from the db, they are 4/5 rows of constant values. I wanted to do such that if I select "Other" a form:input/ below pops up/becomes active and usable
so at the end onSubmit I just send the optional form:input value that the user writes manually. How do I achieve that? I've been trying to use jquery but I end up not sending the right data as I really cannot "turn off" the <form:select /> and "turn on" the <form:input />. Hope you can help me out!

Verifi Unveils Chargeback Mitigation Platform
Payments , Risk Management
Verifi, Inc., a major provider of payment and risk management solutions for card-not-present (CNP) merchants, today announced the formal launch of Order Insight, an advanced collaboration platform that dramatically improves efficiency across all parties in the payments ecosystem.
Enabling robust order details to be shared in real time between cardholders, merchants and issuers, Order Insights enables issuing banks and cardholders to determine the legitimacy of a sale at the time a billing inquiry or dispute arises, thereby reducing fraudulent claims and unnecessary chargebacks as well as avoiding loss of sales and profits.
Today's Dispute Process Creates Significant, Shared Challenges
Today, up to 86% of cardholders bypass the merchant and contact their issuing bank directly to dispute or question a charge on their bill. Disputes can often occur for a variety of reasons ranging from the cardholder simply being confused over unclear or incomplete billing descriptors to legitimate instances of criminal fraud. Many however, have become accustomed to using the dispute process as a refunding tool resulting from buyer's remorse or those seeking to "game the system" through first party or "friendly fraud." According to industry research firm, Aite Group, 60 to 70% of chargebacks are the result of first party or "friendly fraud."
Lacking the information or purchase details needed to legitimize a sale, the most common option for the issuing bank is to credit the cardholder and issue a chargeback. Merchants lose valid sales and profits to significant and unnecessary chargeback fees and drained resources. In the worst cases, the cardholder abandons the brand altogether while issuers are challenged to provide the best customer experience. Issuers incur added operational and representment costs as merchants dispute valid sales lost to unwarranted chargebacks. Customers ultimately see the result of all of this in higher prices. It's a multi-billion-dollar global problem that affects everyone.
Order Insight – The Right Information for the Right Parties at The Right Time
Integrated with top issuers, Order Insight's patent pending platform provides robust transaction details including the merchant's name and contact information, date of purchase, name of device used in the order process and item or service descriptions (size, color, style). Order Insights can integrate this data directly into the issuing bank's online or mobile applications. In most cases having access to this data can resolve a questionable charge and avoid a phone call to the issuer, saving the sale as well as wasted time, resources and costs for all parties that would occur through the dispute representment process.
When a cardholder elects to call the issuing bank, Order Insights equips the bank's call center representatives with the compelling evidence they need to identify true instances of fraud, flag unethical cardholders looking to game the system or resolve the confusion created by vague billing descriptors before the matter escalates into costly chargebacks and resulting losses. For those disputes that are not addressed upfront, Order Insight facilitates the efficient resolution of the dispute between the merchant and the issuer to stop it from escalating to an expensive chargeback.

TV Review: The Goldbergs 2.17 "The Adam Bomb"
By Olympus Athens | @ | Wednesday, April 1st, 2015 at 10:05 pm
Episode 2.17 "The Adam Bomb"
Created by Adam F. Goldberg
Directed by Lew Schneider
Written by Chris Bishop
Starring Wendi McLendon-Covey, Jeff Garlin, Sean Giambrone, Troy Gentile, Hayley Orrantia, George Segal
Air date: April 1, 2015, 8:30pm
Happy April Fool's Day! The Goldbergs 2.17 "The Adam Bomb" review has a few spoilers, if you haven't seen the episode yet, but it's a half hour comedy where the problem is always resolved in 23 minutes, so how much can I really spoil anyway?
It is April 1st, 1980-something as we visit our favorite 80's family on April Fool's Day. Adam (Sean Giambrone) compared his and Barry's (Troy Gentile) relationship to the Cold War – Reagan vs Gorbachev and Rocky vs "that 'roided out monster that killed Apollo Creed." So Adam decides to play the greatest April's Fool prank ever. He took Barry's prize possession, the one thing he was "never to touch with my human oils." And pretended to destroy it in the dryer.
Barry's prize possession? The actual hightop of "basketball's greatest badass" Charles Barkley.
Adam's prize possession? His Castle Grayskull. Well, it used to be anyway until Barry jumped up and down on it, crushing it for real along with his dreams.
Adam: "By the power of Grayskull, this will not stand." Yes!!!
Meanwhile, Tiffany is about to have a concert at the mall as she was prone to do in the 80s. Erica (Hayley Orrantia) knows this is her chance to be discovered and tells her parents she's not going to college to pursue her dream as a singer. Bev (Wendi McLendon-Covey) says to Murray (Jeff Garlin), "I'm the dream pusher and you're the dream smusher," even though she agrees with Murray. They turn to Erica's music teacher (guest star Ana Gastemeyer) to get her to "actively destroy her dreams" and "shame her into quitting" in a delightful tag team of bad parenting. Bev eventually comes around and wants to be her "momager."
Adam and Barry continue to "get" each other back until Barry finds the ultimate "Adam Bomb." Just as he is about to unleash it publicly, a real moment in 80s history happens.
You don't want me to spoil everything, do you?
Some awesome references/pics: Benetton, Sam Goody, Garbage Pail Kids, Andy Gibb, Tiffany, Scott Baio, and lots more!
Of course the end brings me to happy tears as most of the episodes of The Goldbergs do.
Bonus: There's a Big Tasty video!
ABC's press release:
"The Adam Bomb" – When Erica gets inspired to put college on hold, in favor of pursuing a singing career, Beverly is worried Erica will be disappointed her dream will not come true. Beverly puts Murray up to the task to have a talk about her future with a surprising result. Meanwhile, Adam and Barry get into an epic war that starts as an April Fools' joke but ends with more repercussions, on "The Goldbergs," WEDNESDAY, APRIL 1 (8:30-9:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network.

Whistle-Blower suit against Duke Energy heads to trial
John Deeds, former director of regulatory initiatives for Duke Energy, won Round 1 of his whistle-blower lawsuit against the utility.
Deeds claims he was fired in April 2006 after questioning whether payments Duke Energy made to certain large customers were "sham transactions" intended to buy support for rate increases. Duke Energy has countered that such "side deals" are perfectly legal—and private, too.
So far the utility has managed to keep the transactions in question under tight wraps, repelling at least one attempt to subpoena them.
Duke claims Deeds is a disgruntled employee who lost his job when Cynergy merged with Duke in March 2006.
An Ohio court ruled Deeds will have his day in court.

Salt Institute for Documentary Studies at MECA Announces Fellowship

News Salt Institute for Documentary Studies at MECA Announces Fellowship
Applications are now open for Spring 2019
As part of its ongoing commitment to training the next generation of storytellers, the Salt Institute for Documentary Studies at Maine College of Art (MECA) has announced the Salt Fellowship. The fellowship will support the work of students from underrepresented communities who have been accepted into the fifteen-week Salt Graduate Certificate Program in Documentary Studies at MECA.
"We as a society need to commit to dismantling systemic inequality," said Annie Avilés, Chair of the Salt Institute for Documentary Studies. "Having a greater diversity of voices in storytelling and media is a key part of that."
Each semester, the Fellowship Committee will award one full-tuition scholarship or two partial scholarships. Scholarships will be awarded starting in the Spring of 2019, and applications are now open. Interested applicants are required to complete both the standard Salt application and the Salt Fellowship application.
Since 1973, the Salt Institute for Documentary Studies has taught students from all over the United States and around the world to become skilled documentarians and storytellers.
During the course of a semester, Salt students concentrate on Radio and Podcasting or Film and Photography, under the guidance of instructors who are also practicing documentarians. Using fieldwork, assignments, class discussion, instructor feedback, and peer critique, students learn how to find and report a story, how to be part of an editorial team, and how to produce polished work that meets industry standards. They leave Salt with a portfolio of well-crafted stories, an expanded professional network, and a clear sense of potential career paths.
For more information about Salt at MECA, visit meca.edu/salt, or visit the Salt Story archive, saltstoryarchive.com, which contains stories by more than 1,000 Salt students— many of whom have gone on to successful careers at National Public Radio, National Geographic and other major media outlets.

Colombia's finance minister Alberto Carrasquilla has been in office for little more than a month and is already facing a possible removal from office.
Colombia's congress ordered the minister to appear on Tuesday to defend himself against a possible motion of no confidence for allegedly using his position for his personal benefit.
Carrasquilla has been suspected of tax evasion for years and allegedly used his position as Finance Minister between 2003 and 2007 to propose laws that reportedly ended up enriching himself at the cost of more than 100 municipalities.
Did Colombia's finance minister rip off local governments for personal profit?
President Ivan Duque and his hard-right Democratic Center party have expressed their support for Carrasquilla, but are facing fierce criticism from the leftist opposition.
Senator Jorge Robledo of the social-democratic Democratic Pole party called the debate in order to file a motion of no confidence that could force Duque to replace the controversial minister if approved.
Not one motion of no confidence has ever been approved by Congress, but the position of Carrasquilla has been particularly weak after the corruption allegations, the suspicions of tax evasion, and his proposals to tax basic necessities and impose an income tax on the country's lower class.
No party but that of the president has dared to explicitly support Carrasquilla, whose controversial policy proposals have been blamed for Duque's low approval rating.
Whether a majority of lawmakers will support Robledo is entirely uncertain; congress is fractured and neither the opposition nor the coalition have a majority in Congress.
Carrasquilla's future in politics depends on the centrist Liberal Party (LP) and the center-right Radical Change (CR) that declared themselves independent of the government earlier this month.
While these parties have not taken any position in regards to Carrasquilla's future, influential senators within both the LP and the CR have expressed support for doing what no Congress has ever done in the history of Colombia, removing a minister.


A free flowering variety with fine foliage Choisya 'Aztec Pearl' is evergreen and in spring is covered with masses of flowers. This is a hybrid and the botanical name is Choisya x dewitteana 'Aztec Pearl'.
The new buds appear pink in early spring to summer, the flowers open to a pure white and are slightly fragrant.
With its dense foliage, this variety makes good hedging plant or medium sized screening plant. The fine foliage can make a good contrast against a background of broader leafed shrubs.
This is a very versatile variety, it has a natural dense growth habit and once established is remarkably hardy.
Soil moisture is required for good growth, so we suggest that you mulch around the plant to help maintain a cool moist root run.
Tip pruning each year will keep them in good shape with a nice bushy habit. The plant can be pruned back hard in early spring if regeneration is required.
Although this a reasonably drought tolerant plant once established it will perform better if you keep some moisture through summer.
Frost tolerant – Yes, medium frosts are OK.
Choisya 'Aztec Pearl' is available for sale from the following participating nurseries.
