Noel's House Party ran for 8 series from 1991 - 1999, presented by Noel Edmonds on BBC One. The show became a staple of light entertainment, with millions tuning in on Saturday evenings. It featured many family favourites such as presenting Golden Gotchas to unsuspecting celebrities, and gunging bemused members of the public! Noel's House Party won the BAFTA for Best Light Entertainment Show in 1993 and was a well-loved part of 1990s television, and is still fondly remembered by those who tuned in each week.
During the 1970s, Noel Edmonds had moved from being the voice of Radio 1 to the face of BBC1. In 1982 he left his presenting role on Multi-Coloured Swap Shop to present The Late, Late Breakfast Show. The show came to an abrupt end in 1986 when stunt performer Michael Lush died during a rehearsal for the show. Two years later Noel presented The Noel Edmonds Saturday Roadshow until 1990. The show featured many aspects that would eventually form the basis of Noel's House Party, including the infamous Gunge Tank, and pranking unsuspecting celebrities with Gotcha Oscars.

On 23rd November 1991, Noel's House Party was first broadcast, set in the fictional village of Crinkley Bottom in the Great House, where various guests would turn up at the front door, including Neil Morrissey as the Window Cleaner. Over the eight series the show ran for, hundreds of celebrities featured on the show, usually as victims of Gotchas, gunge or both. The show introduced Mr Blobby to the world as a Gotcha prank.
The show alongside Mr Blobby became hugely popular during its eight year run, the amount of audience participation made it a hit with audiences both old and young. Noel's House Party wasn't confined to the studio at BBC Television Centre, Noel's Garden Party was created, a roadshow where viewers across the UK could visit and become a Crinkley Bottom villager for the day. It was this event that inspired four permanent Crinkley Bottom theme parks, and even a Gotcha-themed attraction called Gotchaland.
In 1999, the show ended after multiple format changes. In an interview Alan Yentob, BBC1 controller at the time, stated: "You know, it had exhausted the audience really by then. They'd seen it, they knew what Noel's House Party was like, and however much it was changed, it still was the same programme, and inevitably, after a while, they'd had enough of it." The final episode was broadcast on 20th March 1999 and was described by Noel as "the end of an era".
Gotcha Oscar
The Gotcha Award was a regular feature where elaborate pranks were played by Noel Edmonds and the team on unsuspecting celebrities. It was during this feature in Series 2, Episode 1 (first broadcast 24th October 1992) that Mr Blobby appeared on our screens, pranking dancer Wayne Sleep into thrinking he was teaching ballet on a children's programme. Mr Blobby went on to appear in eight Gotchas, pranking Wayne Sleep, Valerie Singleton, Garth Crooks, Lizzie Webb, Gary Davies, Will Carling, Hudson and Halls, and Francis Wilson.
Other notable celebrities who received the award are Richard Branson, Jon Pertwee and Richard Whiteley. Annabel Giles, presenter and counsellor, was the first celebrity to not fall for the prank, when she spotted the hidden camera in the back of the car.
The closest current version of this format can be seen on ITV's Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway as the pair go undercover pranking celebrities. Noel Edmonds appeared on the show, joking that the pair had stolen the Noel's House Party concept.
The Gunge Tank
There were multiple features that were an integral part of the show. The gunge tank is possibly the most famous of these, many famous faces were the victim of the thick, luminous substance over the years, including Noel himself. The format developed over the show's eight series, including a ride around the Great House set during Series 4 and 5 which was the most elaborate version of the tank.
Wait Till I Get You Home!
Wait Till I Get You Home featured children being interviewed by Noel Edmonds, which was then shown to the child's parents, where they had to try and guess their child's answers. This segment ran from Series 1-5.
NTV would place hidden cameras in people's homes, surprising them live whilst watching the show. This was also the segment where Mrs Blobby and Baby Blobby first appeared, as Noel surprised Mr Blobby in his home in Series 2 Episode 20, first broadcast 13th March 1993.
My Little Friend
My Little Friend began in Series 6, where children alone in a classroom would be surprised with a talking character. In Series 6 this would be an inanimate object such as a plant, a teddy bear and a hamster, after helping the character with their task, Noel would enter with a gift for them. In Series 7 two puppet aliens, Arthur and Malcolm took over the segment, explaining to the children that they needed help fixing their spaceship. In Series 8 they were replaced with Waffle the Squirrel and Phibber the Frog, all these characters were voiced by Noel Edmonds and Barry Killerby with heavily distorted effects.
Phibber the Frog had his own theme park in 1996, Gotchaland at Bicton Park in Devon, though it closed after only two months.
Grab-a-Grand
Grab-a-Grand was usually played at the end of each episode. The contestant would enter the tank which would then have fans that blew Crinkley Bottom Groats around. The contestant would have to try and grab as many groats as they could in 60 seconds.
The Grab-a-Grand game, alongside the popular Gunge Tank, became a hugely popular feature of the show, so much so that during touring events such as Noel's Garden Party, members of the public would flock to try it out themselves.
The show had other features, some lasting only one series. These include The Big Pork Pie, where an audience member had to sit in a giant pork pie prop whilst taking a lie detector test; The Crinkley Bottom Soap, first appearing in Series 7, a short soap opera documenting life in the fictional Crinkley Bottom village; Panel Beaters, another Series 7 feature where a panel had to spot an imposter, one episode featured three Mr Blobbies, only for all three of them to be the imposters and the real Mr Blobby revealing himself at the end; The Crinkley Bottom Observer, though not a game, most episodes of the show feature a newspaper with a humorous headline.

Crinkley Bottom Village
Noel's House Party not only brought us Mr Blobby, but also the fictional village of Crinkley Bottom. The Great House was set in this village, and eventually extended to Noel's Garden Party in 1993, a travelling theme park where visitors could become residents for the day.
Then, in 1994, two theme parks (Cricket St. Thomas, Somerset and Happy Mount Park, Morecambe) became permanent and more exciting versions of the Garden Party. (Though the Morecambe endeavour three weeks…see our Theme Parks page for more!)
Merchandise was produced to promote Crinkley Bottom, including mugs, badges, books and a set of specially commissioned plates.
"My ideal village of Crinkley Bottom has only ever lived in my imagination. I never thought it would – or could – live anywhere else. When I commissioned Mick Bensley to conjure up my vision of Crinkley Bottom, I knew he was going to come close to it. I am so amazed and delighted at how he exceeded my wildest hopes that I am proud to have my signature appear on each numbered plate."
– Noel Edmonds, 1994
The artist - Mick Bensley
Royal Doulton has produced unique pottery since 1815 including decorative plates and dinnerware. In 1994 they were commissioned to create a set of nine plates depicting various scenes within Crinkley Bottom and what life would possibly be like there. This presented a more countrified version compared with the Mr Blobby-focused theme parks which also had their own distinctive styles.
They were designed by landscape artist Mick Bensley who created these serene viewpoints, including a village fete, the schoolhouse, constabulary and the village green. Each image also includes Noel Edmonds hidden like a rural Where's Wally! The plates are all limited edition and individually numbered with their own certificates of authenticity.
'The Village Green'
'The Coaching Inn'
'Saturday Matineé'
'The Village Pond'
'The Castle Ruins'
'Down on the Farm'
'On the Beat'
'School Days'
Finale - 'The Village Fête'
A small selection of memorabilia was produced alongside these plates, including mugs, badges, thimbles and even a book depicting what village life was like in Crinkley Bottom.
NOEL'S GARDEN PARTY
'Noel's Garden Party' was an annual event, bringing Noel's House Party and Crinkley Bottom to life.
The 1993 Garden Party took place at Haydock and Doncaster Racecourse for two weekends in August.
Over 100,000 people visited the event, alongside numerous celebrities including Tony Blackburn, Anthea Turner and Mr Blobby. Noel Edmonds himself said that "this way, everybody gets the chance to be a [Crinkley Bottom] villager for the day."
The Official Programme from the event features some brilliant photographs and details of what visitors were able to experience, badges and t-shirts were also available for visitors to take home.

Q: changing the parent li item class according to his content i have this simple unordered list

Entertainment

Lady GAGA

Lady GAGA

Lady GAGA

Lady GAGA

Fasion

Animals

and i want that the
 that have
 inside of it will get a special class/style automatically, so if the content (the ul) will be move or removed the special class also removed from the parent
.
i'll be glad if it could be done in css or sass but in ng-class it's also fine.
Thanks.

A: You can do it using a directive.
angular.module('myModule').directive('li', function() {
    return {
        restrict: 'E',
        link: function(scope, element) {
            scope.$watch(function() {
                return $(element).find("ul").length;
            }, function(newValue) {
                if(newValue === 0) {
                    element.removeClass("hasSubList");
                }
                else {
                    element.addClass("hasSubList");
                }
            });
        }
    };
});

A: To be able to check if content has changed you need to do it though javascript like this
$("#Id_of_the_ul").change(function(){
    // this is executed when any change occurs in the content of the

    //an if statement here for the change you want to detect

    $(this).parent().addClass("YourClass");
    // or
    $(this).parent().removeClass("YourClass");
})

A: If you just want to apply a property on
 element inside a
.  you can simply use css combinators for that like  :-

li > ul {
  // apply property
  }

at this point if ul is not present in li then no property is applied on ul.
If you want to add and remove the style class according to the content then you need JavaScript for that.
@Zoheiry give good solution for that.
If you are using Angularjs then why are you not using JavaScript?

'Abyssal work to drive health': Why this regional doctor can not stand for longer
An outback doctor on the Eyre Peninsula has criticized SA Health, saying he can no longer tolerate working in a system that he says has little respect for frontline medical and nursing staff.
Wudinna's only doctor will resign due to lack of support from the state's health system
Dr. Scott Lewis says SA Health has a complete lack of understanding of rural areas
SA Health says that work is underway towards a sustainable agreement between general practitioners and hospitals
Dr. Scott Lewis has been the sole general practitioner in the isolated community of Wudinna for 14 years and was former Vice President of the Rural Doctors Association SA.
He said he felt there was no chance SA Health would change its ways of supporting GPs in the future.
"We have an unsupported health system that does not support the needs of rural areas and have really done an abysmal job of running health, especially on the Eyre Peninsula," said Dr. Lewis.
Dr. Lewis warned SA Health throughout the pandemic, warning that he would retire unless medical staff were supported in regional areas. (ABC Eyre Peninsula: Samantha Jonscher)
Dr. Lewis said he had been contacting SA Health for several years about remuneration issues at regional hospitals and chronic shortage of healthcare staff in the regions.
"This is a problem that has been evolving for over a decade now, it's a culture that has evolved – a culture of brushing things under the rug."
Wudinna is an isolated agricultural town on the Eyre Peninsula (ABC Eyre Peninsula)
Dr. Lewis said he was frustrated that local GPs in Port Lincoln, south of Wudinna, had been forced to remove their services from the hospital in November last year due to contract disputes with SA Health.
"Unfortunately, they have been replaced by an extremely variable quality of the locomotive workforce."
He said he had been angry for so long and that his emotional mental and physical health had suffered.
"I've pretty much been on duty 24/7 for 14 years."
"It's a manageable thing when you're supported by a system, but when you do not have that support, it becomes unbearable.
"Our society deserves better than that."
'Nobody wants to come'
Royal Australian College of General Practitioners Rural Council President, Dr. Michael Clements, recently visited regional areas throughout SA.
He said warnings about SA Health's lack of adequate contracts to keep local GPs working in hospitals were shared around the country's medical community.
"To be honest, any GP who is considering moving around the country to try another city will not look at SA because of the noise we have heard and what we have heard on earth about these contract disputes. "
RACGP Rural Council Chairman, Dr. Michael Clements (center) said the national medical community is aware of contract disputes in the regional SA. (Delivered by: Michael Clements)
New contracts on the way
Health Minister Stephen Wade said he was disappointed that Dr. Lewis resigned.
"I think he might be the current vice president of the Rural Doctors Association of SA," Mr Wade said.
South Australian Health Minister Stephen Wade wants to gain a better understanding of what could have led to Dr. Lewis' retirement. (ABC News: Michael Clements)
"I have often had conversations with Scott [and] I look forward to the next one where I can gain a better understanding of the issues that could have influenced his decision. "
Eyre and Far North Local Health Network CEO Verity Patterson said she was sad to see Dr Lewis go, but respected his decision.
"The challenges that Eyre and Far North face in attracting and retaining physicians are well known, and Scott has been a passionate advocate for improving these schemes," Ms Patterson said.
"We have listened and learned from him.
"A new GP contract is currently being negotiated on our behalf by SA Health's Rural Support Service, which is working towards a coordinated and sustainable agreement that benefits rural doctors."
Dr. Lewis moves to the Adelaide Hills with his young family and ends in Wudinna on December 31st.

1. Check in your sewing draw for leftover buttons, pieces of ribbon, cotton threads or yarn. All are great for adding dimension to your cards.
2. Look through your photo collection. Photo cards featuring member of your family are always fun, but also look for photos of beautiful flowers, butterflies or landscapes that you might be able to incorporate into your card designs.
3. Do you have kids? Kids are always drawing, painting and colouring in. Perhaps you could use some of their artwork in your card making ideas too. For example, perhaps you could ask your child to draw a rainbow and then use it as the background for your card. It's a great way to get your kids involved in your craft too.
4. Keep any store-bought cards you receive. Instead of putting them in the recycling bin, consider recycling some of the images on your cards. They are also a great source of inspiration if you can't decide on a colour scheme.
5. Keep an eye open as you read your favourite magazines. You may come across the perfect image for your cards. When you do, clip it out and set it aside for when you are ready to sit down and make some cards.
These are just a handful of places you can look to find unique embellishments for your card making. The options really are endless! Keep your eyes open and you never know what you might find!

In the Knowledge Day HellRaisers will please us with their game against the team called Reason. Let us recall, that the system of the qualifiers is the single-elimination bracket with the best-of-three match format. Today's rivals of HellRaisers have 74 played matches on their account; they managed to win only 29 of them, and 3 games were ended in a draw. During the August the Danes played only 10 official matches and won a half of it. By the way, in 2014 HellRaisers, with markeloff in their roster, played versus Reason within DreamHack Summer 2014, and at that time they got a victory with a 16:5 score on de_inferno. They had in their squad such players as MSL, cadian and PnX, but they didn't manage to stick up to our boys. Come to the Russian stream and enjoy the match with the comments of the SLTV studio. Strike and Tafa will be working for you today.
The bracket of Faceit League 2015 Stage 3 may be found in our report.

I am an assistant professor in the Coding Theory and Cryptology group at TU Eindhoven. My research focuses on post-quantum cryptography – cryptography that resists quantum computer-aided attacks. My works range from theoretical works, like how to model quantum attacks or formal security arguments in post-quantum security models, to applied works, like the analysis of side-channel attacks or the development of efficient hash-based signature schemes. In many of my works I try to combine the theoretical and the applied perspective. This is especially reflected in my work on standardizing post-quantum cryptography. To learn more about my research, have a look at my publications and talks page.
Before my current position, I was a postdoctoral researcher in the Coding Theory and Cryptology group, working with Tanja Lange in the PQCRYPTO project. Before I was a postdoctoral researcher in the cryptographic implementations group at TU Eindhoven, working with Daniel J. Bernstein. I did my PhD in the cryptography and computer algebra group at TU Darmstadt under the supervision of Johannes Buchmann. Before starting my PhD, I worked as a research fellow at Fraunhofer SIT in Darmstadt. I hold a Diploma in computer science from TU Darmstadt.


A clod rack is a really beneficial piece of equipment, as it keeps all your dumbbells neat and tidy. Most very good gyms will have a large clod rack to keep all of their dumbbells in order, but you can also get a smaller dumbbell rack that will fit into a home gym.

The Iowa Agricultural College newspaper "The Aurora" was published monthly by the students for the four literary societies on campus (The Philomathean (1868); The Bachelor (1870); the Cliolians (1870) and the Crescent (1870)). The cost of a year's subscription was $1.00 and a single issue cost $.15.

"Coe College Student Humor" is a digital compilation of resources housed in the collections of Stewart Memorial Library's George T. Henry College Archives. At present, the Student Humor compilation focuses on a series of student-produced broadsides announcing the arrival of Flunk Day, a campus skip day that has been an annual occurrence since 1911. Much to the dismay of college officials, broadsides announcing that first event were clandestinely distributed at a chapel service, and the bulk of the student body subsequently abandoned campus for a day of leisure. Although a number of the Flunk Day broadsides are no longer extant, those that survive illustrate the changing nature of undergraduate humor. The last known Flunk Day broadside dates from the mid-1970s.
Brian Duffy was born on May 9, 1955 in Chicago, Illinois. He studied at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design. Duffy began his career at the Des Moines Register in 1983, where his cartoons quickly became popular and his work earned multiple awards. Duffy's career at the Register ended abruptly in 2008 when his position was terminated by the company during budget cutbacks. Today, Duffy remains in the Des Moines area and continues to produce artwork on his own and through a local news station.
Pulitzer Prize winner Jay Norwood 'Ding' Darling created editorial cartoons for the Des Moines Register throughout the first half of the 20th century. Cowles Library's extensive collection of Ding Darling artist proofs has been digitized and is presented here online.
This book was written in celebration of the first one hundred years of the Polk County Medical Society in Des Moines, Iowa. It is a chronicle of the historical development of the practice of medicine from 1842-1951.
The original 1857 Iowa Constitution had been housed in a glass case for all to see in the Iowa Secretary of State's Office in the Capitol Building for many years. In August of 2014, this document was carefully scanned by the archivist at Iowa Library Services in the Miller Building located on the Iowa Capitol complex.

#25 - To catch a Predator, you need to build traps. However, these traps must be built while showing off your guns. Enjoy this episode as we discuss one of our favorite movies, Predator. We diverge into topics discussing other great random moments in movies where the heroes show off their muscles for no real reason. Arnold schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, etc... all the 80s stars did this. Enjoy!

From a child welfare centre to a hostel: History of landmark building revealed
Maggie Vaughan and Dr Roger Polhill of the Aylsham Town Archive presented a talk about the Orchards building. - Credit: Newman Associates PR
Residents living in a landmark Aylsham building were treated to a insight into the history of their homes.
Broadland Housing and the Aylsham Town Archive joined forces for a presentation about the Orchards on Norwich Road.
Many of the people living in the 15 households at the Orchards were at the presentation, at Aylsham Town Hall.

Among them was Paul Gibson, who has lived at the Orchards since July.
He said: "What a fantastic insight into our home.
"It's so interesting to hear its history, I will look on it with a new eye now. The Orchards is a wonderful place to live. It has got all sorts of nooks and crannies, it has soul as well as history, as well as spectacular gardens.
"I keep waiting for some Victorian ghost to come wafting up."

Archivists and historians Dr Roger Polhill and Maggie Vaughan-Lewis led the presentation about the mock Tudor building, which was built in 1848 by William Repton - principal solicitor in the town - and son of the renowned landscape designer Humphrey Repton.
Repton, who lived on the Market Place, had bought two acres of a former nursery in 1828 and used it as an orchard.
Drawing on archive photographs, Mrs Vaughan-Lewis told a fascinating story of the fluctuating fortunes of the house, from its round-the-clock construction by three shifts of workers and through the different uses it has seen over the decades.
Paula Strachan, from Broadland Housing, said: "Many residents at the Orchards know snippets about the history of the building, but it has been really interesting to hear a well-researched and authentic history from its construction right to the present day."
In 1027, the Orchards was bought by First World War hero Captain James Sears, who built the Ian Sears Clinic - a child welfare centre - at the bottom of the garden.
He eventually sold the house to the Aylsham and District Labour Party to be used as a hostel.
In the following years the Orchards was converted into flats, fell into disrepair, partly taken over by squatters and damaged by fire.
The housing associating took over the property in 2002.

Q: Jersey/Jax-RS: how to filter resource and sub-resources In Jersey 2, how can I bind a filter to all the method of a Resource as well as to all the methods of its sub-resources?
For example, if I have the following 2 resources:
import javax.inject.Singleton;
import javax.ws.rs.GET;
import javax.ws.rs.Path;
import javax.ws.rs.PathParam;
import javax.ws.rs.Produces;
import javax.ws.rs.core.MediaType;
import javax.ws.rs.core.Response;

import org.glassfish.jersey.server.model.Resource;

@Path("/myresource/{id: \\d+}")
@Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
@Singleton
class RootResource {

    @GET
    @Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
    public Response get(@PathParam("id") Long id) {
        return Response.ok().build();
    }

    @Path("/sub")
    public Resource getSubResource() {
        return Resource.from(SubResource.class);
    }
}

@Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
@Singleton
class SubResource {
    @GET
    @Path("/{subid: \\d+}")
    public Response get(@PathParam("id") Long id, @PathParam("subid") Long subid) {
        return Response.ok().build();
    }
}

I would like to filter RootResource.get(Long) and SubResource.get(Long, Long). But if I have other resources, those should not be filtered.
Using the DynamicFeature, we only have info on the Class and Method.
import javax.ws.rs.container.DynamicFeature;
import javax.ws.rs.container.ResourceInfo;
import javax.ws.rs.core.FeatureContext;

public class MyFeature implements DynamicFeature {

    @Override
    public void configure(ResourceInfo resourceInfo, FeatureContext context) {
        // Here how can I find out that SubResource is actually a sub-resource of RootResource
    }

}

The idea is that I want to be able to filter out all calls for a certain set of id's (the set of id's is dynamic), with something more or less like this:
import java.io.IOException;

import javax.ws.rs.container.ContainerRequestContext;
import javax.ws.rs.container.ContainerRequestFilter;

public class MyFilter implements ContainerRequestFilter {

    @Override
    public void filter(ContainerRequestContext requestContext) throws IOException {
        for(Object resource:requestContext.getUriInfo().getMatchedResources()) {
            if(resource instanceof RootResource) {
                Long id = Long.valueOf(requestContext.getUriInfo().getPathParameters().getFirst("id"));
                // ...
            }
        }
    }

}

but I would like to avoid having to search for the matched resources. Is this possible?

A: I'm not 100% sure I understand the problem, but it seems that you want to want to limit which resources should go through the filter. For that you can simply use Name Binding.
Basic Steps:

*

*Create a @NameBinding annotation
@NameBinding
@Target({METHOD, TYPE})
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
public @interface Filtered {
}

*Annotate the filter
@Filtered
@Provider
public class MyFilter implements ContainerRequestFilter {

*Annotate whatever root resources, resource methods, sub resource classes you want to be filtered

UPDATE
OK so after some playing around, I came up with a couple solutions.. netiher of which are pretty, but it gets the job done.
Keep in mind that configure in the DynamicFeature is called for each resource(method) we have.
Algorithm 1:

*

*Get the method being checked and get its declaring class (in the case of a method in a sub resource, the declaring class will be the sub resource class)
Class<?> possibleSubResource =
         resourceInfo.getResourceMethod().getDeclaringClass();

*Build a temporary Resource from your root resource
Resource resource = Resource.from(SomeResource.class);

*Iterate its child resources, checking if it's a resource locator
for (Resource childResource : resource.getChildResources()) {
    if (childResource.getResourceLocator() != null) {

*If is is resource locator get the return type.
ResourceMethod sub = childResource.getResourceLocator();
Class responseClass = sub.getInvocable().getRawResponseType();

*Then check if the response type from step 4 == the declaring class from step 1.
if (responseClass == possibleSubResource) {
    context.register(SomeFilter.class);
}

For the above to work, you actually need to return the sub resource type from the locator method, instead of a Resource. (You can try and make it work with Resource, but I haven't been able to figure it out)
@Path("{id}")
public SomeSubResource getSubResource() {
    return new SomeSubResource();
}

Here is the full code that works (not battle tested :-)
@Override
public void configure(ResourceInfo resourceInfo, FeatureContext context) {
    Class<?> resourceClass = resourceInfo.getResourceClass();

    if (resourceClass == SomeResource.class) {
        context.register(SomeFilter.class);
    }

    Class<?> possibleSubResource = resourceInfo.getResourceMethod().getDeclaringClass();

    Resource resource = Resource.from(SomeResource.class);
    for (Resource childResource : resource.getChildResources()) {
        if (childResource.getResourceLocator() != null) {
            ResourceMethod sub = childResource.getResourceLocator();
            Class responseClass = sub.getInvocable().getRawResponseType();

            if (responseClass == possibleSubResource) {
                context.register(SomeFilter.class);
            }
        }
    }
}

Algorithm 2:
For this to work, we are going based off the assumption that what defines a Sub Resource is that it is annotation with @Path and has no Http method annotation

*

*Get the method being checked and get its declaring class (in the case of a method in a sub resource, the declaring class will be the sub resource class)
Class<?> possibleSubResource =
         resourceInfo.getResourceMethod().getDeclaringClass();

*Iterate through the Methods in the root resource class
for (Method method : SomeResource.class.getDeclaredMethods()) {

*Check if the method has an Http method annotation
boolean isHttpPresent = false;
for (Class annot : Arrays.asList(GET.class, POST.class, PUT.class, DELETE.class)) {
    if (method.isAnnotationPresent(annot)) {
        isHttpPresent = true;
        break;
    }
}

*Check if the method has the @Path annotation. If it does, and it has not Http method annotations, then we register the filter
if (method.isAnnotationPresent(Path.class) && !isHttpPresent) {
    Class subResourceClass = method.getReturnType();
    if (subResourceClass == possibleSubResource) {
        context.register(SomeFilter.class);
    }
}

Here is the full code
@Override
public void configure(ResourceInfo resourceInfo, FeatureContext context) {
    Class<?> resourceClass = resourceInfo.getResourceClass();

    if (resourceClass == SomeResource.class) {
        context.register(SomeFilter.class);
    }

    Class<?> possibleSubResource = resourceInfo.getResourceMethod().getDeclaringClass();

    for (Method method : SomeResource.class.getDeclaredMethods()) {
        boolean isHttpPresent = false;
        for(Class annot : Arrays.asList(GET.class,POST.class,PUT.class, DELETE.class)){
            if (method.isAnnotationPresent(annot)) {
                isHttpPresent = true;
                break;
            }
        }
        if(method.isAnnotationPresent(Path.class) && !isHttpPresent){
            Class subResourceClass = method.getReturnType();
            if (subResourceClass == possibleSubResource) {
                context.register(SomeFilter.class);
            }
        }
    }
}

Again, neither of these solutions are battled tested, but work for the few cases I have tried. Personally, I'd just go with the name binding, but maybe this is an issue you can raise with the Jersey team. This (automatic registration of sub resource, when the root resources are registered) does seem like something that should work out the box, or at least be able to be configured.

A: I had a similar need:
I wanted an annotation to specifically filter resource methods in order to achieve
something like this:
@Path("/api/sample")
@Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
public class SampleResource {

    @Path("/filtered")
    @GET
    @Sample(value = "a sample value")
    public Hello filtered() {
        return new Hello("filtered hello");
    }

    @Path("/nonfiltered")
    @GET
    public Hello raw() {
        return new Hello("raw hello");
    }
}

My annotation being:
@Target(ElementType.METHOD)
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
public @interface Sample {

    String value() default "";
}

I ended up using a DynamicFeature to register a Filter on Resource
@Provider
public class SampleFeature implements DynamicFeature {

    private SampleFilter sampleFilter;

    public void configure(ResourceInfo resourceInfo, FeatureContext context) {
        if (resourceInfo.getResourceMethod().getAnnotation(Sample.class) != null) {
            if (sampleFilter == null) {
                this.sampleFilter = new SampleFilter();
            }
            context.register(sampleFilter);
        }
    }
}

the tricky thing was to find out how I could fetch the annotation value within my filter, hence to find out about ExtendedUriInfo, see below:
public class SampleFilter implements ContainerRequestFilter {

    public SampleFilter() {
    }

    public void filter(ContainerRequestContext containerRequestContext) throws IOException {
        String sampleValue = this.getAnnotation(containerRequestContext).value();
        // do some filtering based on the Sample Value
        }

    private Sample getAnnotation(ContainerRequestContext requestContext) {
        ResourceMethod method = ((ExtendedUriInfo) (requestContext.getUriInfo()))
                .getMatchedResourceMethod();
        Method invokedMethod = method.getInvocable().getHandlingMethod();
        return invokedMethod.getAnnotation(Sample.class);
    }
}


*I joined Glennon at Momastery in the Messy Beautiful Warriors project last week. Topic: My Messy Beautiful.
As a single mother I spend time every day dissecting and understanding myself, beating myself up, forgiving myself, stealing proud moments, encouraging myself and building a future. A future uncertain can be both thrilling and crippling, depending on the day. And that's ok.
My Messy Beautiful Life is perpetual tug-of-war.
A tug-of-war between the peace and freedom and independence and liberation that I have as a single woman unwrapping and rebuilding myself, bursting at the seams with self-discovery…and the waves of longing for the connectivity of a relationship, the grounding of partnership with another.
A tug-of-war between wishing back what is most likely a false sense of security, at least in the later days, of my 'old life'…and the desire to never return to the state of uneasiness those days delivered ever again.
A tug-of-war between completely owning my real flawed self and fearlessly sharing that with others, after completely embracing it first myself…and the ingrained fear of the ways I may be perceived by others not walking similar steps.
A tug-of-war between pursuing my dreams, constructing the future I desperately long for, that I crave inside as an authentic extension of self… and taking the safe path – ducking back safely into the shadows, falling back on a career I once had and no longer fit in any sort of way.
A tug-of-war between the comfort and safety of going internal, diving deep into the maker and thinker in me; creating, working and writing my way through the days and nights when I'm without my babes…and the urge to connect with people, in person, in public – remaining open to relationships.
A tug-of-war between running with the big dogs – the dreamers and the thinkers, even if I perceive myself as just chasing them at the moment…and not ever entering the race, predetermining myself inadequate or unworthy of their world.
A tug-of-war between wanting to shed the memory of the searing pain, heartache and discomfort that I've often felt in this stage of life…and the desire to never lose touch of the powerful, raw feelings that awoke some of the most real parts of me I've ever known, never to forget the fight and desire within to LIVE.
A tug-of-war between offering grace in ways seen typically unconventional and undeserved, by many – the desire to see those I love thrive, despite wrongdoings or missteps toward me…and the urge to wash my hands of all that threatens to bear weight on my heart and my being, easing discomfort.
A tug-of-war between feeling like I'm on top of a mountain following the accomplishment of doing Big Scary Things, facing fears and diminishing their intimidation…and the recurrent feeling of treading air with no net to catch me and the uncertainty of what lies unseen beneath me.
Life is teaching me patience when I'm antsy, trust when I'm skeptical, faith when I'm fearful, and none of it comes easy. Nothing that changes you comes easy.
In the end, the game shifts back and forth. Some days I'm falling back on the pile in robust laughter with joy and accomplishment after gaining control of the rope. Others days I'm face down in the mud, left defeated and sent home for a shower, sleep, and the promise of a new day to follow.
My Messy Beautiful Life bears the kind of scars that tell stories – stories of the lessons learned only by the cracking of a façade, falling down. I view those scars standing up now and they display fight, strength, compassion, and imperfection.
I'm grateful for every ounce of this beautiful mess.

Ribbon-cutting for Cheyney University's oldest building set for September 11

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Ribbon-cutting for Cheyney University's oldest building set for September 11
CHEYNEY, PA. – Humphreys Hall, the oldest building on the campus of Cheyney University of Pennsylvania, will be showcased at a ribbon-cutting on September 11, 2013. Built from local field stone, it originally opened on October 4, 1904, and housed five teachers and 14 students who received training as teachers. The 14,000 square-foot building, vacant for the past 10 years, has recently undergone an extensive restoration to provide residential housing for a cohort of non-traditional students, known as Humphreys scholars.
Work on Humphreys Hall included a complete interior and exterior renovation of the first academic building on the historic quadrangle. The interior renovation includes replacement of building systems, reconfiguration of interior spaces, and the insertion of an elevator within the existing building envelope. The fieldstone walls, wood windows, and brick chimneys were rehabilitated, and the slate roof was replaced in kind. A 1950 one-story annex addition which had housed the public safety offices was demolished allowing the building to return to its original configuration.
The site was renovated for recreational green space and an open pavilion was constructed from stone salvaged from the demolition. The colonial-revival building occupies a key position on the University's historic Quadrangle. It faces Carnegie Hall, the second building constructed in 1910 as part of philanthropist Andrew Carnegie's establishment of libraries throughout America in the early 20th century. Five additional stone buildings have since been added to comprise the University's historic quadrangle.
Fon Wang, AIA, LEED AP of UCI Architects of Philadelphia, PA, guided the project. The building interior has been reconfigured into residential suites for Humphreys Scholars who make up the living-learning community. Common areas include a lounge, meditation room, kitchen, laundry room, and group study area.
Given the historic nature of Humphreys Hall, Wang and her team had to work hand-in-hand with historic preservation committees during the restoration. "The building is listed as eligible according to the National Register of Historic Places," Fon Wang commented. "Prior to restoration, the building was in dire need of restoration. Fortunately, all stone required for these repairs was salvaged from an adjacent structure which was disassembled as part of this project." UCI Architects' restoration of Humphreys Hall was awarded the 2011 Grand Jury Historic Preservation Achievement Award from the Preservation Alliance of Greater Philadelphia.
When Humphreys Hall first opened in 1904, the school was known as The Institute of Colored Youth. By the summer of 1905, attendance had increased from 14 to 46 students. The Institute's name was changed to Cheyney State Teachers College 10 years later.
Established in 1837, Cheyney University is regarded as the first institution for higher learning for African Americans. The founding of Cheyney University was made possible by Richard Humphreys, a Quaker philanthropist who bequeathed $10,000, one tenth of his estate, to design and establish a school to educate the descendants of the African race. Before moving to Cheyney, Pennsylvania, the school was located at previous locations throughout the Philadelphia region.
Support for some of the Humphreys Hall interior renovations was provided through Friends Fiduciary Corporation.
A liberal arts university, Cheyney University of Pennsylvania hosts signature programs such as the Keystone Honors Academy, the Call Me Mister teaching program, the Aquaculture Research and Teaching Laboratory and the accredited Hotel, Restaurant and Tourism Management program. Recognized as the first institution for higher learning for African Americans, Cheyney University recently celebrated its 175th Anniversary. The University offers baccalaureate and graduate degree programs at two locations, Cheyney and Philadelphia, PA – Center City.

Linda Schaar
September 1, 2008 May 25, 2011 Dan Acree
This article appeared in the Fall 2008 issue of Texoma Living!.
Linda Schaar has called many places home, living here, there, and back again. When she moved to Sherman— for the second time— she discovered an artistic bent that she hadn't recognized before. She explained why. "Sherman and Denison are full of art, so the opportunity is here. I might not have made the step, had I lived in another area."
The Sherman grandmother started painting seven years ago when the country club recruited her, along with friend Marion Hunt, to provide door prizes for the women's golf tournament. "Marion said I had to provide the art. I took my first art class and have been painting ever since."
As her artistic interests grew, Schaar took classes at Grayson County College, attended workshops, and collaborated with other artists to improve her skills. From watercolor to pastels to collage, and most recently to oils, Schaar has experimented with a variety of mediums. Her style is impressionistic, with a tendency toward traditional subjects, still life, and landscape. She has tried other styles and said she admires the abstract composition of artist Wassily Kandinsky. "There is so much vulnerability in non-objective art. It comes from the inside and is all you," says Schaar. "Had I started at a younger age, I might be more experimental."
Raising a family, moving from state to state, and working as an office manager for many different businesses (including, ironically, an art gallery) consumed her time. Until now, she never placed priority on artistic expression. Her advice to others: "It may be difficult, but if you want to do it, don't wait. Find just thirty minutes a day and a medium that will allow you to work with limited time. In the beginning, I worked with watercolor because it was fast. I did all my work at the kitchen table. Now I have a studio. It's small, a converted bedroom, but, in there, it is my world!"
Schaar's canvases reflect a world of vibrant colors, fluid forms, and unexpected contrasts. She rejects the tenets of realism and shies away from commissioned pieces so she can maintain full creative authority. "In art, like in life, you can't please everyone," she said. "Do what you want to do."
Schaar is doing what she wants to do and pleasing many in the art community. Art-show recognition opened the door to exposure through galleries. Currently, Images Gallery in Denison counts her as a member, and the appeal of her work continues to spread. "My husband worked in Australia for a year. He showed some people pictures of my work, and they wanted to buy it," she said, adding with a laugh, "I am an international artist."

The term "boat house" probably conjures images in your mind's eye of rickety weathered steps down to the water's edge, corrugated sheet metal, spider webs, yellow bug lights, dust, rust and tangled fishing gear. There may even be that last lonely can of beer in the fridge; still snuggly bound by its plastic six pack girdle.

Language Champion: David Engles
by Doyon Foundation | Feb 25, 2019 | Language and Culture, Language Supporters, News and Events | 0 comments
"When speaking, a part of our history comes back to life"
A committed language learner, speaker and student, David Engles is a content creator with Doyon Languages Online, a Doyon Foundation project that is creating online language-learning opportunities for nine of the 10 Alaska Native languages of the Doyon region.
David's language is Benhti Kenaga', a Doyon region language traditionally spoken in the vicinity of the Minto Flats and the Tanana Valley, including the region now occupied by the city of Fairbanks. It is one of 10 languages located in the Doyon region.
David's parents are Celeste Engles and Glenn Alexander of Benhti. He wishes to recognize Betty Engles, Jim and Evelyn "Tudrock" Alexander, and Neal and Geraldine Charlie of Benhti.
David believes that upholding Benhti Kenaga' as an established form of communication is a responsibility. "Our people created this language," he says of Benhti Kenaga'. "Our language is a way of expressing ourselves with our unique worldview."
David is in his junior year at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and is pursuing a bachelor's degree in linguistics.
Teachers who were instrumental as he learned Benhti Kenaga' include Evelyn "Tudrock" Alexander, his paternal grandmother whom he calls Sitsu ("my grandmother"). David grew up around Sitsu and recalls that she always spoke to him in Benhti Kenaga'.
"She was so patient with me while teaching," he says. "Every day we would engage in learning, from identifying animal parts to learning whom you give them to when feeding people."
Acquiring vocabulary and mastering correct pronunciation in any language may be learned by rote memory; the strategy works, but it's usually not fun. Tudrock's method – incorporating lots of singing – made learning a joy.
"We even translated 'Eight Days a Week' by the Beatles into Benhti Kenaga'," David says. And while they were singing, Tudrock was teaching the meaning of Benhti Kenaga' words as well as how they're ordered to express thought. Each lesson prepared him for the next. "We had fun," he says.
As a content creator for Doyon Languages Online, David is part of a project with the goal to promote accurate use of language by teaching everyday terms. An example is learning to choose correct vocabulary for a given context – for instance, when to use "sitsu" ("my grandmother") and "nitsu" ("your grandmother").
Doyon Languages Online is in the process of creating introductory-level online lessons for nine of the 10 Doyon region languages. A project of Doyon Foundation, Doyon Languages Online is a partnership with the 7000 Languages, a nonprofit that supports endangered language learning.
Learning Benhti Kenaga' is among David's lifelong goals. His plans include producing short stories presented as children's books and written in both Benhti Kenaga' and English. The books are intended for anyone starting to learn Benhti Kenaga'.
"These stories can provide building blocks to a wider vocabulary," he says. "Being able to express ourselves in our own language is a true reflection of who we are as people."
As Doyon Foundation continues to grow our language revitalization efforts in the Doyon region, we would like to recognize people who are committed to learning and perpetuating their ancestral language. We are pleased to share some of these "Language Champion" profiles with you. If you know a language champion, please nominate him or her by contacting our language program director at haytona@doyon.com. Language champions may also complete our profile questionnaire here. You may learn more about our language revitalization program on our website.

Businessman commanding coup troops highlight of FETÖ's coup attempt
ANKARA Investigations
Kemal Batmaz, seen in civilian clothing, walks behind Aku0131ncu0131 Air Base Commander Brig. Gen. Hakan Evrim in the airbase command center on the night of July 15.
Kemal Batmaz was an unknown figure in Turkey until Wednesday. A criminal investigation and a series of security camerage footage surfaced that day and changed everything. Now the most talked-about man in the country, this former executive of a paper company, has shocked people with the revelation that he was allegedly one of the men commanding the brutal coup attempt on July 15 blamed on the Gülenist Terror Group (FETÖ). Prosecutors think he might be a figure with a higher rank than Adil Öksüz, the prime suspect accused of masterminding the coup plot.
Gülenist businessman Kemal Batmaz caught on CCTV in putschists' HQ on July 15, highlighting FETÖ's role in coup bidhttps://t.co/aWqMxqeKau pic.twitter.com/otwq1uiZcD
— DAILY SABAH (@DailySabah) November 3, 2016
Batmaz confidently walked in the halls of a military base in casual clothes while high-ranking officers wearing military fatigues pass by him and give him a military salute, security camera footage shows.
Prosecutors believe he might be the real commander of decorated officers loyal to the terror cult who moved to seize power from the elected government at the cost of 246 lives.
Batmaz, who is currently in prison after his capture at Akıncı Air Base in the capital Ankara hours after the putsch was quelled, was not the only man in civilian clothes at the base where fighter jets scrambled to strike strategic locations including the Presidential Palace. Indeed, he was with Öksüz, the second most wanted man in Turkey after FETÖ's leader Fetullah Gülen, for masterminding the coup. Harun Biniş, a ponytailed man seen shuffling through rooms at the command floor of the base in the company of pro-coup officers at one point in the security camera footage where Batmaz was seen, was also at the base. Ties between the three men who were not photographed together inside the base were discovered by prosecutors in Ankara. Only Öksüz, from the trio, remains at large, but prosecutors believe Öksüz, a theology lecturer by profession who is accused of drafting the plot for the junta's takeover, may be a subordinate of Batmaz.
Speaking to Anadolu Agency, Ankara Chief Prosecutor Harun Kodalak, which is conducting the investigation, said Batmaz was one of the critical figures in the coup attempt and as important as Öksüz. "He might even have a higher rank than Öksüz in (FETÖ)," Kodalak said. The chief prosecutor said the discovery of Batmaz's involvement that came months after he was detained around Akıncı Air Base, shed light on angles of the coup that remained in the dark.
Kemal Batmaz, who once worked as manager of Kaynak Kağıt, a company belonging to FETÖ-run business conglomerate Kaynak Holding is seen accompanying Adil Öksüz at Atatürk Airport in Istanbul in security camera footage made public on Wednesday as the two returned from the United States two days before the coup attempt. The duo's trip is viewed as confirmation of allegations that Öksüz traveled to Pennsylvania where Fetullah Gülen resides to get the cult leader's approval for the coup.
Harun Kodalak said Adil Öksüz was the most significant figure in the coup but he was "unfortunately" released, referring to a controversial verdict by an Ankara court to release him pending trial after Öksüz claimed he was simply near the base "to look for a land plot he planned to purchase," which was also the exact testimony of Harun Biniş after his capture.
The chief prosecutor said they sifted through the daily routine of Adil Öksüz before the coup and decided to focus on his travels to the United States. Öksüz was seen kneeling before Fetullah Gülen in his Pennsylvania retreat in a photo circulated after the coup attempt and the United States was the only country he frequently traveled to, often without his family and on personal expenses, since 1999. "We checked the passenger list of every flight he took and probed more than 4,000 passengers. Finally, we found the name Batmaz," Kodalak said, adding that they found Batmaz was already detained on the coup night. "We didn't know at first that he was a critical figure but our investigation showed he is as important as Öksüz and indeed, may be his superior [in FETÖ]," Kodalak adds. He also revealed Batmaz's initial testimony and unsurprisingly, he told in his initial testimony after his capture that he was "looking for a land plot to purchase."
"They apparently agreed before the coup that they would give the same testimony in case of capture," the chief prosecutor says.
He says officers giving a military salute to Batmaz was already sufficient to show his role in the coup attempt. "A civilian cannot enter [the command floor] of a military base and even if he does so, no military officer would give him a military salute," Kodalak emphasized. Although his face is obscure, the man giving the military salute to Batmaz is thought to be Brigadier General Hakan Evrim, a commander at the base who was involved in the coup attempt. Evrim was the commander who told Chief of Staff Gen. Hulusi Akar he can arrange a meeting between him and Fetullah Gülen when Akar was held hostage by coup plotters. Harun Biniş, who is accused of attending the meetings where Öksüz and military officers plotted the coup, would allegedly arrange the meeting by phone or videocall, Turkish media outlets reported. Biniş, an electronics engineer, was implicated in an earlier case of illegal wiretapping the offices of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan during Erdoğan's tenure as prime minister.
Although not as prominent in the coup attempt as Batmaz, Öksüz and Biniş, a fourth man in civilian clothes was detained at the base after the coup attempt was foiled. He was Hakan Çiçek, owner of a school chain linked to FETÖ. Kodalak said Çiçek claimed he was at the base upon invitation of a pro-coup colonel who was also the parent of a child enrolled at his school but he failed to answer the questions about the social activity Özçetin asked from him to organize for the children at the base.
The chief prosecutor says the evidence would certainly attract attention of U.S. authorities as Turkey seeks extradition of Fetullah Gülen as Washington asks for concrete evidence on Gülen's involvement in the putsch.

Fact-checking 7 claims about marijuana
By Jon Greenberg on Friday, January 31st, 2014 at 9:30 a.m.
Employees roll joints behind the sales counter at Medicine Man marijuana dispensary in Denver, Colo. Recreational pot became legal this year. (AP)
Thanks to a Florida Supreme Court decision, Florida voters will weigh in this November on a constitutional amendment to allow the medical use of marijuana. Around the country, 20 states plus the District of Columbia have already taken that step, and Colorado became America's testing ground when recreational marijuana use became legal this year.
All you need do is look at national polls to see that the country is at a tipping point. The public is split on legalizing marijuana altogether and large majorities favor making marijuana legal for medical use.
The marijuana discussion has kept PolitiFact and PunditFact busy. Since the start of 2013, we've tackled claims related to pot 15 times, with 10 coming in the past six months.
Here are seven claims that capture the ongoing debate.
People on pot "shoot each other ... stab each other ... strangle each other, drive under the influence, kill families." Nancy Grace, Jan. 14, 2014.
The HLN host spoke to the darkest fears about marijuana users. Grace, a one time prosecutor, said she had seen people high on pot "wipe out a whole family."
We found a few individual cases that support her point but there's no evidence that marijuana itself drives people to commit violent acts. Dr. Ihsan Salloum, professor of psychiatry at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine told us the clear majority of users don't become aggressive.
So we said Mostly False.
"Nobody's addicted to" marijuana. John Morgan, Sep. 22, 2013.
Promoters of legalization can go too far sometimes. Orlando attorney John Morgan made this claim during a television debate but soon apologized for making a "huge mistake." Dependence is hardly common, but it does happen in about 9 percent of all users, according to the National Institute of Drug Abuse. We rated Morgan's claim False.
"The 'Denver Post' has actually hired an editor to promote pot." Bill O'Reilly, Dec. 9, 2013.
The popular Fox News host lent his weight to the concern that any veneer of acceptability will lead to runaway use of marijuana. The Denver Post's plans to track the unfolding of legalized recreational use in Colorado drew O'Reilly's ire. The newspaper said this was a very big story that merited coverage from all sides, including supporters, opponents and all views in between.
O'Reilly later told us he didn't mean to say that the Post was promoting pot. Yet we counted him making that point nine times during his show. We rated O'Reilly's claim False.
Colorado food stamp recipients can use ATMs to get cash to buy marijuana. Brian Kilmeade, Jan. 21, 2014.
Colorado's grand experiment prompted a novel allegation from one of the co-hosts of Fox and Friends. While it's true that food stamp recipients get an electronic benefits card from the state, ATMs won't treat that as cash. It's against the law and the government pays programmers to prevent it. Kilmeade would have had a point if he had talked about welfare benefits in general. But he didn't. So that claim rated False.
Marijuana today is "genetically modified," with THC levels that "far surpass the marijuana" of the 1970s. Patrick Kennedy, Jan. 21, 2014
President Barack Obama ignited a debate when he told a magazine interviewer that marijuana is no more dangerous than alcohol. Former congressman Patrick Kennedy opposes legalization and said the president needs to know that the typical weed today packs a bigger punch than it did when Obama was a teenager.
We found that the concentration of the main active ingredient in marijuana more than doubled from 1993 to 2008. The "genetically modified" part didn't hold up; marijuana is stronger due to selective breeding, not laboratory gene splicing. So we rated Kennedy's claim Mostly True.
Marijuana is "less toxic" than alcohol. Marijuana Policy Project, Aug. 15, 2013
A video billboard at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway made this claim and sorting it out hinged on how you define toxic. Saying that pot is less toxic than alcohol doesn't mean that it is harmless. But in one key respect, marijuana is safer than alcohol.
A massive dose of alcohol can kill while the same has never been observed with marijuana. By one measure, alcohol is 100 times more toxic than marijuana. So we rated this claim Mostly True.
Florida's proposed amendment for medical marijuana would allow "people who alleged minor ailments such as muscle spasms, neck pain, back pain and even menstrual cramps (to qualify) for government-sanctioned pot-smoking." Grady Judd, Nov. 19, 2013
The state's Supreme Court found, by a slim majority, that the proposed amendment's chief purpose "is to allow a restricted use of marijuana for certain debilitating medical conditions.'' But while the measure lists some of those diseases, such as cancer, it also says "or other conditions for which a physician believes that the medical use of marijuana would likely outweigh the potential health risks for a patient."
Judd, the head of the Florida Sheriffs Association, said that gave doctors a lot of flexibility. We took issue with the problems he called "minor" but Florida's ballot measure gives doctors more latitude than medical marijuana laws in other states. So we rated that claim Mostly True.
