They totally can, as long as they either 1) saved a specimen, or 2) can still use any tissue/matter obtainable from her now; as in, it’s not too degraded. I’d think it would be fine. Like bros 402 said, the doe project will be on it at some point, I’m sure. Doesn’t mean the layman can’t help make that happen sooner, though!

that’s one aspect among a couple other changes. they also prevent the supreme court from overruling laws/bills that the knesset has passed. israeli politicians have been complaining for a while now that the lawmakers who have been elected by a majority shouldn’t be bogged down by people who they say are a elite minority that don’t represent the populace. they want a greater say in selecting judges like we do in the us.

for what’s it worth, i think netanyahu will back down and the US will commend israel for being the good guys as usual and the occupation and apartheid will continue, business as usual.

Yes they really are!! We passed on the 2 bedroom because the HOA was sooo high, like $719. We saw another today that is asking $218 with no other offers yet... might try $210 just to see what they counter with, but we may end up insulting them with that since it's only been on the market for a day. It's so frustrating when the places are super competitive 😭 wishing you the best of luck as well!🙏🙏

>never said anyone has to give up land

they are giving up land though, when palestine was partitioned, jews were 1/3 of the population and owned 7% of the land, the only district in which they were a majority was jaffa. but in the partition plan they got more than half the land. today someone who has no ties to the land but converts to judaism can emigrate to israel, no questions asked but the arabs who were expelled during the nakba, whose families have lived there for generations cannot go back to their homes.

Ocean Grove was founded in 1869 as an outgrowth of the camp meeting movement in the United States, when a group of Methodist clergymen, led by William B. Osborn and Ellwood H. Stokes, formed the Ocean Grove Camp Meeting Association to develop and operate a summer camp meeting site on the New Jersey seashore.[14] By the early 20th century, the popular Christian meeting ground became known as the "Queen of Religious Resorts."[15] The community's land is still owned by the camp meeting association and leased to individual homeowners and businesses. Ocean Grove remains the longest-active camp meeting site in the United States.

Yeah I live in N. Plainfield and downtown Plainfield is usually busy, same with our downtown. It still has a little way to go but the energy is definitely there. Hoping to see some more diverse food options soon (we need more south east Asian spots in the area). Time will tell, especially if the pedestrian area and that huge new "bella" complex ever get started. Just hope it doesn't swing too far gentrified, love the feel of like Cranford, Union and Rahway rather than like Westfield or Summit.

Yes. Theres lots of towns not in Essex and Hudson that are walkable but since they arent a major metro area, the people who campaign for walkable cities dont talk about them. These towns need a little love but could be great again. Asbury Park took 20 years to get to where it is

The houses here are often beautiful and affordable. I live in 100+ year old mansion-esque type of home in one of the historic districts. I would NEVER have been able to afford it in other towns in this state. I find my neighbors to be pleasant and unstuffy and I try to shop locally when possible. Come to Plainfield, you will be welcomed.
