The government of Botswana is implementing new measures to help expand connectivity across the country.
As reported by ITWeb Africa, Botswana’s Minister of Communications, Knowledge and Technology Thulagano Segokgo confirmed the government’s goal of extending the geographical range of mobile signal in the country, as well as pushing fixed services to unconnected rural areas.
Segokgo noted that the ministry was assessing the tariffs offered by operators and internet service providers to ensure that “favourable packages [are] accessible to consumers”, and added that the government would “strive to look at other policy measures we can adopt to reduce the input costs for operators and in turn reduce tariffs.”
Botswana’s government is currently implementing a rural connectivity initiative that aims to connect 500 villages with digital infrastructure. This in turn will provide internet access to clinics, schools, businesses and municipal buildings in previously unconnected regions. The government also plans to announce a number of online government services in June this year.
“Connectivity, like access to water, is simply a human right,” said Segokgo. “Such efforts and commitment will ensure that our citizens have access to government services around the clock, everywhere and anywhere. This will bring convenience to elders and eliminate unnecessary visits to government offices and also spending several hours in queues.”

||Burman Watershed: prescription to restore Stream 11 (Orphan Channel) in the Burman River Watershed, 2007|
|Project lead: BC Timber Sales|
|Contributing Authors: M.C. Wright and Associates; Canada Department of Fisheries and Oceans|
|Imprint: Nanaimo, BC : M.C. Wright and Associates, 2007|
|Subject: Forest Investment Account (FIA), Habitat improvement|
|Series: Forest Investment Account (FIA) - Land Base Investment Program|
|To increase the productive capacity of the Burman River, restoration of offchannel habitat is required. Many areas of the Burman River have lost connectivity to off-channel habitat. In some locations there has been a significant loss or reduction in available spawning and rearing habitat as the result of channel aggrading. Restoration requirements in the Burman Watershed are extensive and will have to occur over multiple phases. The intent of restoration and enhancement works for the Burman will be a species diversity approach where restoration will target all species of salmonids in the watershed. This prescription has been developed as the result of surveying 1.8 km of the orphaned channel (Stream 11) on the north side of the Burman River during the winter of 2007. This channel is located 8.5km from the river mouth. Historically this channel would have provided high value spawning and rearing habitat.|

When I first started cruising I was Loyal to Royal. I tried a Princess and the food was horrible (This was 20 years ago when I was eating a lot and often, you know, youth) I avoided Princess for 20 years until a group cruise and it was a great cruise with good MDR food and service so Princess is back on my preferred list.
Later in my cruising history I tried NCL, My TA advised me against it but it was a good itinerary and price so I gave it a try. Worst cruise I have been on. I avoided NCL after that until I got a killer price on a re positioning cruise on the Pearl ($350.00 for 7 nights). That cruise was good, not great but good for the price still typical bad food and service of NCL in the MDR IMHO, Then there was a cruise for Charity that was changed from RCI to an NCL ship kind of last minute (RCI pulled all ships out of CA due to issues in Mexico), I only went because it was a fund raiser for a good cause and friends were also going. Again Bad food, bad service and problems with cabins, 3 of us out of a group of 50 had to complain and get cabin changes because of issues in our original cabins. Now I avoid NCL.
How many bad or jusr so-so cruises does it take until you stop cruising a cruise line ?

What you need to know
- A new report claims that 2% of the top 1,000 grossing iOS App Store apps were scam apps.
- The Washington Post says that analysis reveals they have taken $48 million from unsuspecting customers.
- A total of 18 apps were discovered, many of which have now been removed by Apple.
New analysis from The Washington Post claims that 2% of Apple's top 1,000 grossing apps on the iOS App Store were scams that had pulled in some $48 million.
The report states
Of the highest 1,000 grossing apps on the App Store, nearly two percent are scams, according to an analysis by The Washington Post. And those apps have bilked consumers out of an estimated $48 million during the time they've been on the App Store, according to market research firm Appfigures.
The report says that many of these apps can be described as "fleeceware", using fake App Store revies to drive them up the rankings, convincing customers to download them and possibly part with cash, often unwittingly.
The report pertains to precisely 18 apps, which The Post says have conned some users out of an estimated $48 million. Of course, 18 out of an App Store of 1.8 million apps is a tiny portion, however, the financial cost of these apps to users can't be overstated.
Apple has recently hailed the security of its App Store in the face of growing scrutiny, notable during the Epic Games lawsuit that concluded last month. Apple claims it has helped to prevent $1.5 billion in potentially fraudulent transactions, whilst rejecting nearly 2 million App Store submissions and terminating 470,000 developer accounts.
Recent research states that Apple's App Store helped account for some $643 billion in billings and sales in 2020, most of which came from physical goods and services. As the report notes, Apple's own chief compliance officer Kyle Andeer has warned that opening up the iPhone to sideloading or more app stores would simply serve to multiply the problems that reports like this most recent revelation have identified.
The report says that Apple had removed two-thirds of the apps identified by the study.

Phishing is a difficult enough form of fraud to avoid for most computer users, but when some of the biggest names in the financial industry fail to do their part to detect and eliminate these online scams, consumers often are placed in an untenable situation.
Case in point: A source recently forwarded a link to one of the “best” phishing attacks I’ve ever seen. This one — targeting the tiny Mountain America credit union in Salt Lake City, Utah — arrives in an HTML-based e-mail telling recipients that their Mountain America credit union card was automatically enrolled in the Verified by Visa program, a legitimate security program offered by Visa that is supposed to provide “reassurance that only you can use your Visa card online.”
The fake MountainAmerica.net Web site
The e-mail includes the first five digits of the “enrolled card,” but those five digits are found on all Mountain America bank cards, so that portion of the scam is likely to be highly convincing for some recipients. The message directs readers to click on a link and activate their new Verified by Visa membership.
Beware, make sure your non tech-savvy friends & relatives are aware of how tricky these scammers are getting.
Someone YOU know could be falling for this soon.

Colin FarreIl and Brendan Gleeson "In Bruges"
Macho guys blowing people away that elicits waves of sardonic laughter accompanied by music by Carter Burwell may cause you to think of the current, Oscar-nominated film, "No Country for Old Men." But whoa. We've got another movie with those ingredients as well: "In Bruges," by British director and screenwriter, Martin McDonagh.
Despite the good ol' boy bloodletting in "No Country," people laughed all through the screening I was at some weeks back, just like they did when I saw "In Bruges" this week. On balance, though, I'd say that "No Country" is a bit deeper in blood than "Bruges" is long on laughs.
By the way, neither is Bruges pronounced BROO-guhs nor is it just north of the Rio Grande. It has just one syllable: BROOZH, and is located in Belgium about an hour NW of Brussels. This historic port city received its charter in 1128 and was designated the European Capital of Culture in 2002.
Bruges is just a skip over the English Channel from London where two hit men in the film, Ray and Ken (Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson) have botched a whack job assigned by their boss, Harry (Ralph Fiennes). Harry has ordered Ray and Ken to go on the lam and cool their heels amongst all the medieval art and architecture in this beautiful Belgium city.
Ken is more agreeable to how life moves along and begins inhaling the essence of history in Bruges. Meanwhile, Ray looks for female companionship and a pint or three at the local pub. That's pronounced "poob."
Harry tells Ray and Ken to wait for his call soon to come from London, giving the movie too much time for us to get to know the pair's idiosyncrasies and finally enjoy the talents of Mr. Fiennes in character as a Harry whom no one could be too wild about. In fact, Fiennes' turn here may be as nasty as his Amon Goeth in "Schindler's List," but with a cockney accent.
"In Bruges" has other things in common with an earlier 2007 film called, "You Kill Me," which casts Ben Kingsley as an alcoholic hit man who screws-up a job and amusingly seeks 12-step help at a San Francisco AA chapter. Either film, I guess, might be described not as Guns and Roses but Guns and Laughter----with plenty of blood.
Making a film that combines blood, gore, violence, guilt, comical dialogue, drugs, dwarfs, art, architecture, romance and an action-packed thriller finale would be difficult for any seasoned filmmaker. But, when it's your first (as is the case with director/writer McDonagh) the project requires larger bites of irony than any audience can chew---then swallow.
Even though Farrell, Gleeson and Fiennes have a ball doing their parts, such an effort as "In Bruges" goes against just about all odds.
(Rated R for violence, drug use and f-word usage in either verb or gerund form.)

UPSET nabs two on meth charges
DELTA COUNTY, MI— The Upper Peninsula Substance Enforcement Team arrested two Marquette County residents on charges related to the delivery of crystal meth.
Over the past month, UPSET detectives obtained information that the suspects were suspected of traveling to Wisconsin and returning to Marquette County with large amounts of the drug.
On Thursday, detectives and troopers from the Michigan State Police Eighth District Hometown Security Team conducted a traffic stop on a suspect vehicle in Delta County. The driver, a 29-year-old Marquette man, and passenger, a 29-year-old Marquette woman, were arrested when troopers located approximately 110 grams of crystal meth in the vehicle.
Both remain lodged in the Marquette County Jail on charges of delivery of meth.


LCD What should I pay attention to when installing the LCD splicing screenDate:2022-04-02Click:340Author:Admin
Ordinary LED display requirements for the environment is more temperature and humidity, but LCD LCD splicing screen installation is not the same. Not only need to carefully choose the installation site, but also need to pay attention to the light around the installation environment, and have clear requirements for wiring, frame and so on. So Chengdu LCD splicing screen manufacturers say LCD splicing screen installation should pay attention to what problems?
From the ground selection, the installation ground of the LCD splicing screen should be smooth. It is generally not recommended to install on tile floors because of the possibility of crushing the floor. And the installation ground must be able to prevent static electricity. In addition, when wiring, we should pay attention to distinguish the power cord from the signal line and install it in different places to avoid interference. In addition, according to the size of the screen of the whole project and the installation position, calculate the length and specifications of all kinds of lines needed, calculate the needs of the whole project. LCD splicing screen is generally installed indoors, and the requirement for brightness is not very high. So choose to install the ambient light brightness can not be too strong, so as not to cause interference. At the same time, the light near the screen may be shielded when necessary, and the light had better be turned off when the device is running to ensure the normal operation of the device. Do not install a lamp directly in front of the screen, just install a cylinder lamp. Indoor space is also very important for limited viewing distance, and reasonable brightness adjustment should be paid attention to. In order to facilitate the maintenance of LCD splicing screen in the future, the frame edge must be detachable. Finally, air conditioning or air outlets must be installed to ensure good ventilation of the equipment.

The darkness, seeping through every crevice
You must login to vote
Flows evenly through this vast, spacious abyss.
"The night, it calms me," said she, that girl;
A beautiful darling, with the wind in her hair.
Sweet temptress is she, who dances with light,
My answer is compelled and forced by her.
"Then forever it is yours, every star in the sky."
I long for her beauty, if only it could be, but no.
Long white silk, caressing every curve, moonlit
As the dark circle hangs, pausing as if she knows.
The silver coin with all of her brilliance gleams,
Midnight moon, dark moon, light of this night.
Her long red hair provoked me to move forward,
Grasping each strand in my long and pale fingers.
Each wave of curls like a new beginning, a myriad
Of lush crimson, smelling as if it was a bushel of roses.
The sweet passion in her voice as she speaks,
She speaks to me and only to me, oh lord her voice.
"You are so cold; I mean not to shiver at your touch."
I know my love; I am sorry that I am so cold.
If only she could understand why, this curse,
This damned curse that keeps me from love.
But no…she can not know, for if she did,
She would run from me, it would scare her.
"I am sorry, if you are too cold I will not…"
My sentence was left incomplete, for she spoke.
"No, it is alright." Voice small, with short breaths,
She spoke those words as I took her hand.
Letting the hand drop back to her lap,
My fingers curled over her warm shoulder.
Yet only lightly for not to spook the girl,
Ever so gently my hand was placed.
Gazing into her eyes, I searched for something,
Searching for the love that she had said she felt.
What I sought I did not find, did I upset her?
I had never been any less than kind to the girl.
Something though was different than it had been,
Looking deep into her emerald jewels,
I could tell that she was not happy here.
No, she is happy, she does love me!
Her voice was tender, and almost concerned,
"Darling, what is wrong?" I let my hand fall.
Raising it to her hair I brushed away her bangs,
"I only want for you to be happy, you know that."
It was true; I did only want her to be happy.
"But I am happy, can you not see in my smile?"
Her words cut through me, I knew they were false.
"I know you are not happy, I can see in your eyes."
When I said this I watched as she slid her eyes shut;
Bending forward I kissed her forehead gently.
"I am sorry; I want you to be happy…"
I tried to reason with my mind, but everything whirled.
The rush for fresh blood was racing in me,
Looking toward her bared flesh, she'd never know.
At that moment I saw her eyes flutter open cautiously,
Toward me was her gaze, and she tried to rise.
My fangs had been resting on my lips as I seized her;
Reaching out in a quick fashion she was still, afraid.
Her face went a ghostly white in her fear of me,
I sunk the two canines deep under the tender flesh.
She hardly screamed, and just sat, staring at me,
Tears wetting her eyes, she knew her life was in my hands.
I had been angered by her wanting to leave, oh why?
Drinking slowly, my blood warmed, I held her life.

Important now: creating a safe, clean environment on public transportation is essential to the continuity of service. Operators, maintenance, cleaning crews, and customer care reps are critical.
It wasn’t the romance, nostalgia or je ne sais quoi of the streetcar concept that led Oklahoma City to build its new $135 million system downtown. The OKC Streetcar, which began service in December 2018, has far-reaching purpose and serves as a linchpin for the transforming downtown.
Considered an essential service, the new streetcars have not suspended service since the pandemic began, although service levels were reduced to match demand. Masks are mandatory on board streetcars to diminish the risk of virus spread. As expected, fare collection and advertising have been significantly reduced as well (see spreadsheet below outlining ridership through June).
The new streetcar system is part of a $777 million Metropolitan Area Projects (MAPS) and redevelopment project. It is also a defining feature supporting other enhancements such as a new convention center, 70-acre recreational park, and senior health and wellness centers – all to enrich the city, and all debt free.
A one-cent, voter-approved sales tax supports the entire project, bringing the combined state and city sales tax in OKC to 8.63 percent. Although the tax is high, the benefits are palpable.
The simple announcement of the streetcar project in 2011 set the economic engine revving. Since then, more than $1.6 billion in public and private investment has flowed into the three-block impact zone around the streetcar route, according to an impact study conducted by the Greater Oklahoma City Chamber and RegionTrack.
This includes a total of $801.9 million in private investment and $806 million in public investment to fund the Oklahoma City Convention Center; Scissortail Park; public infrastructure improvements; and Project 180, a $176 million redesign of downtown streets, sidewalks, parks and plazas.
The study also notes that the impact zone has gained:
Another hefty benefit for the city is an increase in the taxable market value of private properties along the streetcar route going from $1.1 billion in 2011 to $2.5 billion in 2017, or growth of more than 120 percent since the route was proposed. On a square-footage basis, values are up 80 percent over the same time. That’s more than three times the rate of citywide property values since 2011.
Moving Easily Between Districts
The OKC Streetcar also made perfect sense to efficiently transport people everywhere along the 4.8-mile route. Instead of driving and parking, then driving and parking again, workers, locals and tourists easily could experience any or all of the six downtown districts the city has to offer. And before the coronavirus struck, they were doing it.
With low fares of $1 for one hour (on and off) and $3 for a 24-hour pass, ridership of the streetcar was exceeding expectations with more than 500,000 passengers taking a trip since the system opened. An average of 16 riders per service hour on weekdays and 25 riders per service hour on weekends were hopping on the streetcars.
“In some ways, it’s better than what we planned because we didn’t know how people would react to a new and different service mode,” says Michael Scroggins, public information officer for EMBARK, a hybrid city department and public trust with its own governing board.
One of the goals for the streetcar is to get people to warm up to riding on various modes of public transportation.
“We’re a very car-centric community and the introduction of the streetcar has definitely improved people’s thoughts about public transit and how they can use it. We want them to branch out to different modes,” notes Scroggins.
The city is hoping to boost ridership on its buses, as well, and is in the process of building its first bus traffic express lane. A ferry and bike-share program are other options.
Any revenue generated from the streetcar, whether through fares or sponsorships, is used to support the overall operations of the service. Before the pandemic, approximately $700,000 was the budgeted revenue expected for fiscal year 2020. EMBARK hired Herzog Transit Services, Inc. to provide operations and maintenance services and in the current fiscal year paid the company $3.1 million. The expense is funded by the general fund and is part of the overall transit budget.
The SSO Challenge
The Federal Transit Administration’s (FTA) State Safety Oversight (SSO) program for rail transit was fully in place by the time Oklahoma City began its streetcar planning process. In fact, the OKC Streetcar system was the first in the country to become certified and launch under the new regulations.
Jesse Rush, operations manager for EMBARK, knew the certification process would be a challenge and began submitting the proper documents 1.5 years ahead of the launch. It was barely enough time.
“We submitted and maintained 25,000 documents that we managed in preparation for going into service,” says Rush. “We knew it would be a lot, but not to that extent. There was definitely some crunch time close to opening.”
He stresses that it is important to start the process as early as possible, foster a good working relationship with the SSO and keep an open communication with your SSO.
At the local level, keeping in close contact with downtown city agencies was critical, especially as the opening approached. For example, Rush says EMBARK worked with firefighters to train them to work with the overhead wire that powers the streetcars.
“Ladder trucks can go to put out a fire and have the potential to touch the wire. Policies and processes were developed with the fire department to define those safety procedures,” he says.
Rush says his team was able to work well with everybody who would be impacted by the construction. Contact was made with the businesses and properties along the line to let them know that construction was coming and what to expect.
“We were in constant communication with them,” he says. “By doing that, we were able to build relationships with business and property owners, and companies downtown. It was a great process.”
Construction broke ground on February 7, 2017, and the project was complete in 14 months.
In the end, all of the preparation and planning helped the service to run extremely smoothly, says Rush.
“We have weathered flooding downtown, ice storms, and super high winds of 98 miles per hour,” he says. He points out that the city has never halted streetcar service, even during this pandemic.
Scroggins says that right now, “creating a safe space on our buses and streetcars is essential to the continuity of service. Our operators, maintenance and cleaning crews, [and] customer care reps are the bright stars in our ability to provide safe essential service every day.”

Popular disc jockey, DJ Cuppy has opened up on her relationship with Kiddwaya. DJ Cuppy spoke during an Instagram live chat with Kidwayya on Wednesday.
Kemi Filani News recalls that the duo sparked dating rumour in 2020 when Kiddwaya sent wishes to the disc jockey during a diary session of the BBNaija reality show.
“The second message goes out to my second favourite girl Cuppy. I know she supports me out there. Thank you for your support. You have always been there for me and always close to my heart. I love you always,” he had said.
Kiddwaya and Cuppy however fell out on the set of Highlife, a British documentary-reality TV show, and it affected their real-life friendship.
DJ Cuppy noted that the platonic relationship between them is “very misunderstood,” because most people believe they hate each other.
“I feel like our friendship is very misunderstood. The fact that people actually think that we have bad feelings towards each other is mad,” DJ Cuppy said.
“Because it’s the opposite, we are super close as friends. I have nothing but respect for you, and I’m really proud of you. I’m so proud of the man that you’re becoming.”
In the course of the unplanned instagram live session, DJ Cuppy lamented that young people were being too superficial, as she revealed that she felt insecure about how people viewed her haircut.
“I feel like as Nigerians and young black people, we need to stop being so on the surface. We are putting ourselves under too much pressure. Even with make-up, lashes, we cannot kill ourselves. Even weight is a thing,” DJ Cuppy asserted.
Kidd said, “Let’s bring back being natural. It is okay to have short hair, short nails. It is okay not to wear heels when going out ”

Have you maxed out your traditional or Roth IRA for 2007? If not, you have until Tax Day to get it done, so you better get crackin’. Given that the maximum allowable contribution for 2007 is $4, 000 ($5, 000 if you’re age 50 or more), and assuming that you contribute once a month from now through April, you’ll need to squirrel away just shy of $667/month to reach the max ($833/month if you’re 50 or older).
Even if you can’t hit that mark, you should do what you can to pump money into your IRA. After all, IRA contribution limits are a “use-it-or-lose-it” proposition. If you fail to contribute in any given year, you can’t carry the unused portion of your contribution limit forward to the next year. And remember…
You can withdraw your Roth IRA contributions (but not earnings) at any time, for any reason, without taxes or penalty. Thus, even if you have other savings priorities (e.g., building up an emergency fund) you can safely stretch your budget and stuff a Roth with money.
(Note that this sort of withdrawal flexibility applies only to Roth IRAs, not traditional IRAs.)
Worried that some sort of emergency might arise? No sweat, you can always get your money back out if you end up needing it. And if things work out and you’re able to leave the money in place, then you’ll be one step ahead of the game. You can’t go back and make those contributions in future years if you miss your chance now, so do it while you still can.
Note that IRA contribution limits for 2008 are $1000 higher.
Sound like a plan? Just be sure to keep that money in a safe, stable investment if there’s any chance that you might need to pull it back out and use it in the near future. If things work out and you’re able to leave your contributions untouched for the long term, you can always move into more aggressive investments later.
Note: The point of this article is not to encourage you to raid your Roth IRA in a pinch. Rather, it’s to encourage you to take advantage of a Roth IRA even if you’re not entirely comfortable earmarking that money for retirement.

The Hartford Courant
3:29 PM EDT, September 24, 2013
The busy fall season is upon the Hartford Artisans Weaving Center, a program that came back from the dead four years ago and has since grown in space, weavers and sales revenue.
The center's main purpose is to promote and teach weaving to senior citizens as well as blind and visually impaired people, as a way to help them develop a skill and be part of a community. But the merchandise they make sells pretty well too.
Its wares are on sale all year in its boutique at 40 Woodland St. in Hartford. Every fall, however, the center has an open house sale — this year on Nov. 9 and 10 — at a time when woven materials like scarves are more popular and people are holiday shopping, said Fran Curran, executive director of the center.
In 2011, grants and private donations made up the majority of the nonprofit's revenue. But after a larger attendance at last year's open house, its sales revenue rose to the point where revenues match the amount received in grants.
The weaving program started in 1996 and was running at the Oak Hill School for the Blind before budget problems shut it down in 2008. Afterward, Patrick Johnson, president of the school, agreed to donate the school's looms if the program's volunteers —- Fran Curran, Claudia Spaulding and Diane Gerity — could find the program a new home. Board member Henry Zachs agreed to donate a room in a former messaging center he owned in Asylum Hill.
Since then, the center, which caters to anyone 55 years old and up and the visually impaired, has grown from one room with 20 looms to a whole floor with 50 looms across three rooms.
The center holds 10-week classes three times a year, but also runs a program where weavers, or "artisans," come in to work independently on projects. The artisans, who numbered about 18 in 2008 and have grown to 32 this year, vary in age, level of sight and weaving experience.
To meet their costs — about $62,000 in 2012 for the salaries of five part-time employees, weaving equipment and utilities for the building — the center receives grants and donations. It also sells the pieces made by the artisans, who contribute $5 in monthly dues to, essentially, rent a loom.
The money from each item sold is split three ways: a third to center operations, a third to material costs, and a third to the artisan, if they choose. Artisans can also work on personal projects.
Prices vary by size and material, but scarves might range from $55 for chenille to $90 for wool silk scarves, cover ups for $120 and rugs in the hundreds depending on their size.
The fall season means the artisans are busy building up the inventory for the sale in addition to the year-round projects they work on for their partners.
Patterns In Braille
Louise Pollio, 66, lost her vision as a child. She first learned to weave as a student at the Oak Hill School for the Blind and has been coming to the center since it opened.
"I like it because it's a chance to meet and talk to people, and it's a chance to get out of the house and do something," Pollio said.
On a recent Wednesday morning, Pollio was working on a set of place mats — a checkered pattern woven with mercerized cotton.
Weavers typically follow a print-out pattern with numbers corresponding to each treadle, or pedal, of the loom, but for Pollio, learning new patterns can be challenging.
"What I've been doing lately is Brailling the patterns for myself and other people who can read Braille and this way you can read it and memorize it," she said, adding that it typically takes her two or three days to memorize a pattern.
She dug around in her purse to pull out a thin silver case with a series of holes, a 4x6 card labeled "place mat pattern" in Braille, and a special Braille pen to demonstrate how she creates the patterns.
"You can see there's groups of three," she points out, moving her hands along the fabric. "It kind of looks like a checkerboard. I mean, that's what it feels like."
"I particularly like this one because it's very tactile so I can feel it and keep track of where I am," she said.
Some of the weavers take breaks around noon to eat lunch or have coffee in the break room. Others continue weaving, stopping occasionally to chat.
Garrett Weaver, 76, focuses on making rugs at the center, which are sent out to North Light Fibers where they are known as "the Garrett line."
Weaver, who spent 40 years as a stockbroker, sees the craft as the perfect combination of his passion for math and art. He uses Excel spreadsheets to create new designs for his rugs, but, after years of "shuffling papers and yapping on the phone," he especially appreciates the physical labor involved in the craft.
"To be able to make something that's pretty with your hands is wonderful," Weaver said.
For most of the artisans, it's both the community they find and the weaving that draw them back to the center each week.
Joe Hudson, 95, began weaving at age 93 and says he enjoys it.
"It keeps the mind together," he said.
Block Island Yarn
North Light Fibers, a small mill and store on Block Island, R.I. sends about 20 pounds of yarns to the center every six weeks, which the artisans spin and weave into as many items as possible.
In total, the artisans create eight to 10 "projects" a week, which might be a single item like a throw, or a set of scarves or place mats.
"We cater products to their fiber and things they would like for their store over on Block Island," Curran said. "So actually that's a win-win for us because they just send us the fiber so we don't have to buy the fiber."
Curran and Spaulding, treasurer for the Center, met Laura and Sven Risom, president and vice president of North Light Fibers, at the Fiber Festival of New England in Springfield, Mass., in 2009. Since then, they have built up a partnership that involves weekly conversations to custom-design yarn, create new patterns, and design garments.
The output varies: for example, if the center has more new weavers one month, that might mean more scarves or other simpler items — but the store provides a rough scale of what it wants and then puts its trust in Curran, Sven Risom said.
"We understand each other well enough that when they say, 'Here's a geometric design,' we love it," he said, adding that while not everything comes out the way they'd like, they put it to use in some way or another.
FiberArts Studio, a nonprofit weaving studio in Stonington, Conn., also carries merchandise from the Weaving Center in a "sisterly partnership," according to Lola Liepold, owner of the studio.
FiberArts caters to students and tourists looking to try their hand at weaving, but doesn't make merchandise to sell, Liepold said. She doesn't take a commission, but the studio's storefront location gets a lot foot traffic from tourists interested in buying hand-woven items, which means carrying the center's items gives her something to offer her visitors.
And for the second year in a row, the center will be having a sale at the Town and County Club in Hartford, a private women's club, on Nov. 1.
The partnership was set up last year by club member Jean Bronson, who also volunteers at the center, just three buildings away.
Michael Duval, general manager at the Town and County Club, said the partnership was formed not just because of the quality of the pieces, but as a way to help its neighbor. "Certainly, stylewise their items appeal to our membership, but the mission of the Weaving Center is just great," he said.

Each month in Know the Score, writer and composer Aaron Gilmartin will step out of the scoring stage and explore, in detail, some important aspect of movie music. After all, film is as much about what you hear as what you can see.
Every composer I know agrees: you have to know how to create work for yourself. When I asked Jim Dooley—who currently scores Netflix’s A Series of Unfortunate Events—about it, he said: “When there’s no work I make work.” And even though every project (and every composer) is different, there seems to be three reoccurring methods of finding the next gig that consistently pop up as part of the story.
For some, the most common method is referrals from previous collaborators and other face-to-face meetings. For others, it’s networking with directors, editors and producers who have studied or are studying at the same school as the composer. And for some— especially when starting out—its all about college message boards and Craigslist ads.
Of course, approaches and their effectiveness vary. In researching and reaching out to several high-profile and working composers to find out how they went about securing that all-important next gig, I turned up some great insight. Here it is:
Dooley starkly categorized composers as either “pioneers” or “victims.” Victims, he said, are the ones that look in the most obvious of places and then are surprised by the lack of forward motion. But the pioneers, he says, “Make work happen. They are clever about their searches. [They] will it into submission.”
Said acclaimed Polish film composer and musician Tomasz Opalka, “If you’re not working and something comes along to score—even for free—do it. You never know when the director you’re working with will become the next major player,” pointing out that Swedish composer Ludwig Göransson’s score to Ryan Coogler’s Fruitvale Station was his first-ever for a feature. “Since then they’ve made Creed and Black Panther among others” he said.
Cold calling can be surprisingly effective. Abiram Brizuela, Artistic Director of The Harmony Project, one of the largest music education programs in the US, says, “Cold email to a warm place. Make sure the recipient is going to freak out when they get your super-positive email offer.”
Composer Sam Jones (one half of composing duo AlexisAndSam) puts it this way: “People don’t not want to talk to you. Sincerity is seductive. But you can’t do this stuff in a Machiavellian way. People want to work with people who care about their project.”
PUTTING YOURSELF OUT THERE
But! Before you can show filmmakers that you’re sincere about their project, they have to know that you exist. And as creatives, too often we want to believe that we can just make quality music in a vacuum and stand back as the world comes to us.
Singer/songwriter/composer Gyasi Ross was found by the head of Dreamworks Music after streaming one of his performances live on Facebook. Says Ross, “You have to take small risks, like introducing yourself to strangers, all the time. There’s a certain amount of passion you have to display if you want to be taken seriously.”
Says composer Natasa Paulberg, “If you’re introverted, you have to become a social butterfly; parties, weddings, anything. Go alone. Don’t take anyone with you,” adding: “Start out by going to the meetings and meet ups that are organized for non-composers. You’ll also need a social presence: Instagram, Facebook, Twitter.”
Opalka echoes the outgoing approach. “There’s a magic in LA that allows you to get work from unusual sources. It’s easier to get work here, even though there’s so much competition. Not through the agent or the website, but from different directions.”
This is where creativity comes in. Whether it’s a cold email or an industry event, find a way to talk to people in the business. But—this is important!—make your approach in a way that shows how you could be of help. Don’t just name-check your accomplishments or brag about what equipment you have at home.
Says Paulberg, “When you have scored some projects and have a track record, it is good to teach. This gives you exposure in the industry and you get to learn a lot from your students.” For those who have gained some traction, she suggests using your clout and knowledge to level up. “Put on a concert or place your compositions on a program of known composers. You may have to invest a little but this will get you to the next level.”
When Brizuela was a teen, he wrote an email to the software company behind Reason, the popular digital audio workstation. Brizuela wrote, “Your software is known for other things, but not film scores. I think I can show how much more it can do.” A full six years later the company reached out and asked if he wanted to compose a symphonic demo for their system, now heard on Reason versions 6-10. Naturally, a lot of people heard this track and asked Brizuela to score their film projects. “When you work with passion, people notice and want to get you involved,” he said.
A lot depends on just being there. Dooley says, “If you’re the assistant, show up on time. Be quiet and listen. Be helpful.” Adding: “Everyone knows by the end of the first day if a person will be an asset or not.” Becoming an indispensible asset to a successful composer drowning in work is one very good route, even if it involves a large investment of time on your part.
CASE STUDY: WORKING WITH HANS ZIMMER
Dooley shared the story of how, at the beginning of his career, he once got to work for the legendary Hans Zimmer. It all started with The Hollywood Reporter’s “Film and TV Music issue” which featured a list of current composers and wrote to every third one wether he had heard of them or not. His message was short but well informed, specific and knowledgeable about what each of the composers was working on at the time. Simply put, he offered to help.
He wrote 200 letters and got one response, inviting him to work one day a week as an assistant sending another composer’s reel around town. He ended up helping out in many ways—even caulking the ceiling as part of his job. One day on his way to this odd caulking assignment, he ran into an old music program acquaintance from USC, who had been contacted by Zimmer to work for him. The friend didn’t feel he was right for the job, but suggested Dooley instead. Jim soon put himself on a crash course to learn all he could about Zimmer’s studio and eventually got the gig. Jim’s tenure at Remote Control, Hans Zimmer’s studio complex lasted almost 20 years.
WAYS TO MAKE WORK HAPPEN
When you think there’s no new gig on, remember to create and grow your reel. Write for yourself or find a worthy project to help with on Craigslist or similar website. And be prepared to work for very little income—at least for a while.
Join filmmaker organizations and go to meet-ups for industry members across all disciplines: directors, editors, producers etc.
Create music for libraries. Look at their website. Call them say, “I have a track just like what you just released. Can you use it?” Give them a chance to say yes. This can be a good income generator over time.
Contact movers and shakers and become indispensable to one of them. You may have to caulk a ceiling or two, but hey—you may end up working for Hans Zimmer.
More often than we might imagine, a big part of finding the job is just showing up. This happened to me, when I was hired by animator Alicja Jasina as replacement for her composer. That film went on to win a Student Academy Award, the BAFTA and many more. As a result of being hired later in the process I had only two weeks to complete the music. So even when it’s stressful take the work, work hard.
You never know what might happen.


Manu Tuilagi: Eddie Jones hopeful centre will return for Six Nations match v Wales
|Six Nations round three live coverage|

England coach Eddie Jones says he "would like to think" centre Manu Tuilagi will be available for the Six Nations game against Wales on 12 March.
Tuilagi, who last played for England in 2014, has been sidelined for 15 months with groin and hamstring problems.
But he is set to return when Leicester face Harlequins on Friday, a match Jones said he would "probably" attend.
Tuilagi, 24, is not in contention for England's next game, against Ireland on 27 February.
Leicester coach Richard Cockerill said on Wednesday he thought Tuilagi had "not played enough rugby at club level, never mind Test level", but added: "If Eddie decides to pick him because he is playing well enough then so be it."
Asked later if Tuilagi might be ready for the Wales game, Jones said: "We'd like to think that but I've seen the comments by Richard Cockerill so I'll have to get on that Leicester hotline."
Tuilagi has scored 11 tries in 25 England appearances but his career has been blighted by off-field disciplinary issues, including jumping into Auckland harbour.
He also pleaded guilty to assaulting two female police officers, but later said he had "owned up to what I've not done".
Cipriani 'has a long way to go'
Jones was much cooler on the international prospects of Sale's Danny Cipriani, whom he described as "a long way away" from an England recall.
The 28-year-old fly-half, who last week announced he will rejoin Wasps next season, made his England debut in 2008 but has only amassed 14 caps.
"Danny needs to play well. There's no use talking to the press about it. You've got to dominate club rugby and show all the skills of a Test player," Jones said.
"He's not good enough to be in the squad at the moment. We have two outstanding 10s in Owen Farrell and George Ford.
"To beat those two, Danny has a long way to go, but he's a capable player. It's a matter of how hard he wants to work at his game."
Jones also issued a warning to aspiring England players of the standards needed to catch his eye.
"This isn't a kindergarten class," he said. "If you want to play Test rugby, they have to keep me interested.
"I don't have to keep them interested. Why should I keep them interested?
"Their game has to be so outstanding that I am saying, 'Goodness me, I've got to get that guy in the squad.'"
Jones 'not happy' with England performances
"I wouldn't say I'm happy with where we are," said the Australian, who replaced Stuart Lancaster as head coach in December. "I think we're going in the right direction, but I don't think we should get too excited at this stage.
"It's that consistency of performance in the set-piece. First game, our line-out was excellent and our scrum wasn't great. Second game, our scrum was good and our line-out wasn't great.
"Our defence throughout has been outstanding so that's been a strong point. But our breakdown and attack has fluctuated between very good and very poor."
Jones praised back row forwards Billy Vunipola and Chris Robshaw, as well as centre Jonathan Joseph.
"Billy Vunipola has got the potential to be a really good player," he said. "And in the last game, Chris Robshaw played close to one of his best games for England: really high work-rate, very industrious.
"So those guys have come through and obviously Joseph in the last game was really industrious in attack."
Jones keeps us on our toes - Brown
Full-back Mike Brown says Jones' management style is less structured than Lancaster's.
"Eddie keeps players on their toes," Brown said. "As soon as you get in that comfort zone, Eddie - tough character that he is - will notice that.
"He works us hard, but I'm also enjoying what he's brought to training, and the way he wants to play suits me down to the ground.
"We're trying to play really quick - we haven't managed to do that yet in the first two games, but the way we're training, when we get out on the field we can really hurt teams.
"We're going to have to step up our performance against Ireland."

Alabama: Governor Robert Bentley has signed legislation, House Bill 61, to protect qualified patients eligible for CBD therapy under a physician’s authorization from criminal prosecution. The measure, known as ‘Leni’s Law’, allows qualified patients to possess CBD preparations containing up to three percent THC. The new law takes effect June 1st, 2016.
Colorado: House and Senate lawmakers have overwhelmingly approved legislation, House Bill 1373, to permit qualified patients access to the use formulations of medical cannabis while on school grounds.The measure now awaits action by Gov. John Hickenlooper, who indicated that he would sign the measure into law. “My son, if he needed medical marijuana and he needed it during the day while he was in school, I’d want him to have that opportunity,” Hickenlooper said.
Connecticut: House and Senate lawmakers have approved legislation expanding patients’ access to the state’s medicinal cannabis program. House Bill 5450 permits qualifying patients under the age of 18 to possess and consume medical cannabis preparations and it also expands the list of qualifying illnesses eligible for cannabis therapy. Other provisions in the bill seek to establish a statewide clinical research program, and protect nurses from criminal, civil, or disciplinary sanction if they choose to administer marijuana to a qualifying patient in a hospital setting. The measure now awaits action by Governor Dannel Malloy. #TakeAction
Hawaii: Legislation is pending before Governor David Ige to expand medical cannabis access and dispensing. The measure expands the pool of practitioners who may legally recommend cannabis therapy to include advanced nurse practitioners. Separate provisions in the bill remove the prohibition on Sunday dispensary sales and on the possession of marijuana-related paraphernalia by qualified patients.It also permits the transportation of medical marijuana across islands for the purposes of laboratory testing. #TakeAction
Kansas: House and Senate lawmakers have signed off on sentencing reform legislation, House Bill 2049, that reduces criminal penalties for first-time marijuana possession offenses from a Class A misdemeanor (punishable by up to one year incarceration and a $2,500 fine) to a Class B misdemeanor (punishable by no more than six months in jail and a $1,000 fine). Second convictions will no longer be classified as a felony offense. The bill now heads to Gov. Brownback’s desk, and will become law if he does not veto it within 10 days. #TakeAction
Louisiana: Senate legislation to fix and expand the state’s dormant medical marijuana law received a boost this week after a House Committee amended and passed the measure. Senate Bill 271 seeks to change the language of existing law so that physicians may ‘recommend’ rather than prescribe cannabis therapy. Under federal law, physicians cannot legally ‘prescribe’ cannabis or any schedule I substance. It also expands the pool of patients eligible to receive marijuana therapy. The legislation is scheduled to be heard by members of the House Health and Welfare Committee next week. #TakeAction
New Hampshire: Members of the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee voted 12 to 7 this week to amend Senate-backed sentencing reform legislation, Senate Bill 498, to also include provisions decriminalizing minor, first-time marijuana possession offenses. The amended language would make first-time offenses a civil violation rather than a criminal offense. The civil penalty would be limited to a fine only: no arrest, prosecution, or criminal record. Subsequent offenses would continue to be classified as misdemeanors. #TakeAction
Oklahoma: House and Senate lawmakers have approved legislation, HB 2835, to expand the pool of patients eligible to possess cannabidiol under a physician’s authorization. As amended, House Bill 2835 would include legal protections to the following patient groups: those with “spasticity due to multiple sclerosis or due to paraplegia, intractable nausea and vomiting, appetite stimulation with chronic wasting diseases.” The measure also removes the age requirement limitation from existing law so that adults with various forms of epilepsy are eligible for CBD therapy. The measure now awaits action from Gov. Mary Fallin. #TakeAction
Pennsylvania: Representative Ed Gainey is seeking co-sponsors for soon-to-be introduced legislation that would amend minor marijuana possession offenses to a non-criminal offense. Despite both local and nationwide progress on the issue of cannabis prohibition, Pennsylvania continues to charge over 18,000 individuals each year with minor possessory offenses. Please urge your House member to sign on as a co-sponsor to this important legislation. #TakeAction
Rhode Island: Members of the Senate Judiciary Committee are scheduled to consider SB 2420, legislation to regulate the commercial production and retail sale of marijuana to those over the age of 21, on Tuesday, May 10th. Adults would be permitted to purchase and possess up to one ounce of marijuana. It also permits adults to cultivate up to two marijuana plants (no more than 1 mature) at home for non-commercial purposes. You can read the full text of this proposal here. #TakeAction
Tennessee: Two marijuana related measures became law recently in Tennessee. The first permits for the licensed cultivation of industrial hemp when “grown by an institution of higher education in this state that offers a baccalaureate or post-graduate level program of study in agricultural sciences.” The second, amends third-time marijuana possession offenses from a Class E felony, punishable by up to six years in prison, to a misdemeanor offense, punishable by no more than one year in jail. The new sentencing penalties take effect on July 1, 2016.

A new CBS poll released on 4/20 is the first to show majority female support for marijuana legalization in the US. Though still trailing the 59% of men who are in favor of legalization, 54% of women now say they support it too.
Last year’s CBS poll found that only 43% of women were pro-legalization, versus 54% of men, an 11-point gap. This year’s poll narrows the gap to 5 points and represents an 11% jump in support from women in only one year’s time.
National polls in recent years have shown women’s support for legalization as high as 48%, but always trailing men’s approval by 8-13 points. Women are also around 15% less likely to admit that they have tried marijuana.
The same is true regionally: in Florida a 2015 Quinnipac poll found again 57% of men supported legalization and only 46% of women did. And if marijuana were to be legalized for recreational use in the state, 70 percent of women said they would ‘definitely not use’ it, compared to 59 percent of men.
Similarly in Ohio, there was a 12% differential between men at 59% support and women at 47%; and 71 percent of women, and only 57 percent of men, said they would ‘definitely not use’ legal marijuana.
But now perhaps we have reached a tipping point on women coming over to seeing the light of legalization. When I checked in January of this year, Cal NORML’s Twitter followers were 75% male, down from 85% a few months earlier; they’re now down to 66% male, a 20% drop in less than 6 months.
One reason for the shift, I think, is the increased number of female leaders at NORML chapters across the country, changing the perception of what a marijuana enthusiast looks like and giving women voters a greater comfort zone to voice their own support. A quick list of those leaders compiled by NORML Outreach Coordinator Kevin Mahmalji are:
- Eleanore Ahrens – Southeast Ohio NORML
- Vera Allen – Minnesota NORML
- Trish Bertrand – Springfield NORML
- Roseann Boffa – Los Angeles NORML
- Cara Bonin – Houston NORML
- Jes Bossems – Jefferson Area, Virginia NORML
- Monica Chavez – New Mexico NORML
- Cynthia Ferguson – Delaware NORML
- Jax Finkle – Texas NORML
- Karen Goldstein – Florida NORML
- Kandice Hawes – Orange County, California NORML
- Laura Judy – National Office
- Jamie Kacz – Kansas City NORML
- Danielle Keane – National Office
- Ellen Komp – California NORML
- Jessica Lee – Nacogdoches NORML
- Jenni Morgan – National Office
- Cher Neufer – Ohio NORML
- Theresa Nightingale – Pittsburgh NORML
- Danica Noble – NORML Women of Washington
- Pam Novy – Virginia NORML
- Jenn Michelle Pedini – Richmond NORML
- Jordan Person – Denver NORML
- Sharron Ravert – Peachtree, Georgia NORML
- Carrie Satterwhite – Wyoming NORML
- Mary Smith – Toledo NORML
- Jessica Struzik – Northern Wisconsin NORML
- Danielle Vitale – O’Brien – Miami Valley, Ohio NORML
- Destiny Young – San Antonio NORML
Women everywhere are getting the message. “It is not as harmful as alcohol … It also helps medical conditions as a more natural substitute to pharmaceuticals,” one 46-year-old woman told Pew pollsters in 2015. “I think crime would be lower if they legalized marijuana,” said another woman, aged 62. “It would put the drug dealers out of business.”
Campaigns directed at women in states with legalization measures seem to have had an effect. Only 49 percent of women polled in favor of Colorado’s 2012 legalization measure, but 53 percent of them voted for it. The majority of women voters in Washington State also voted in favor of that state’s measure to legalize.
Many people are aware that women helped bring about alcohol prohibition in 1919. What many don’t know is that women were also instrumental in repealing prohibition, notably Pauline Sabin, the Republican socialite for whom NORML’s award recognizing women’s leadership is named. It seems that women are now also key in bringing about marijuana legalization.
A legalization initiative has officially qualified the ballot this November and separate legislative measures around the country continue to advance. Keep reading below to learn the latest legislative developments.
Alabama: Members of both chambers approved legislation this week, House Bill 61, to protect qualified patients eligible for CBD therapy under a physician’s authorization from criminal prosecution. The measure, known as ‘Leni’s Law’, seeks to allow qualified patients to possess CBD preparations containing up to three percent THC. The measure passed in the Senate by a vote of 29 to 3 and in the House in a 95 to 4 vote. The measure now awaits action from Gov. Robert Bentley. #TakeAction
California: A prominent GOP Congressman has endorsed the Adult Use of Marijuana Act, which seeks to regulate the adult use, production, and retail sale of cannabis. Congressman Dana Rohrabacher (R-Costa Mesa) announced, “As a Republican who believes in individual freedom, limited government and states’ rights, I believe that it’s time for California to lead the nation and create a safe, legal system for the responsible adult use of marijuana.” He added: “I endorse the Adult Use of Marijuana Act for the November 2016 ballot. It is a necessary reform which will end the failed system of marijuana prohibition in our state, provide California law enforcement the resources it needs to redouble its focus on serious crimes while providing a policy blueprint for other states to follow.” You can learn more about the initiative here.
Florida: Another Florida municipality has given preliminary approval to a proposed ordinance permitting police to cite, rather than arrest, minor marijuana offenders. Members of St. Petersburg’s Public Safety and Infrastructure Committee voted in favor of the policy that would create a system of fines that would begin at $75 for those caught holding 20 grams or less of cannabis. Two versions of the plan, one that one that would mandate police issue a citation and another that gives the officer the option to do so, will head to the full city council for a final vote in early May. Under state law, possessing any amount of marijuana is classified as a criminal misdemeanor, punishable by up to one year in jail and a $1000 fine.
Maine: Maine voters will decide on election day on a statewide ballot measure seeking to regulate the adult use, retail sale, and commercial production of cannabis. The Secretary of State determined this week that initiative proponents, The Campaign to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol, gathered a sufficient number of signatures from registered voters to qualify the measure for the November ballot. The office had previously attempted to invalidate a significant portion of proponents’ signatures, but that effort was rejected by the courts earlier this month.
If enacted by voters in November, the measure would allow adults to legally possess up to two and one-half ounces of marijuana and to cultivate marijuana (up to six mature plants and the entire yields of said plants) for their own personal use.
North Carolina: House legislation was introduced this week to permit the limited use of medical marijuana. House Bill 983 exempts patients engaging in the physicians-recommended use of cannabis to treat a chronic or terminal illness from criminal prosecution under state law. Qualifying patients must possess a tax stamp issued by the state department of Revenue, and may possess no more than three ounces of cannabis at any one time. The proposal does not permit patients to cultivate their own cannabis, nor does it establish a state-licensed supply source. #TakeAction

News out of Anchorage and Denver this week was good for marijuana smokers, as both the city of Denver and the state of Alaska moved closer to the legalization of marijuana social clubs. Smokers could thus socialize in a venue with other adults where marijuana smoking would be legal.
Until now, in the states that have legalized recreational use (and in the District of Columbia), marijuana smokers are only permitted to exercise their newly won freedom in their home or as a guest in someone else’s home. Holland-style coffee shops or marijuana lounges were not legalized by those early voter initiatives.
That is about to change.
Denver NORML and The Committee for the Responsible Use Initiative in Denver have announced the final language for their municipal initiative. They expect to be cleared this week by the city to begin circulating petitions seeking the signature of registered voters, putting the issue on the ballot for voters to decide in November.
The proposal would license and regulate private marijuana social clubs and special events where adult marijuana smoking would be legal. The state legislature had earlier indicated some interest in amending state law to permit marijuana social clubs, but when that stalled, Denver NORML began to move forward with their municipal voter initiative. Clubs could not sell or distribute marijuana, and bars, nightclubs and restaurants could not become private marijuana clubs or host special events.
The most current polling suggests the proposal is favored by a clear majority (56%) of voters in Denver.
Denver NORML executive director Jordon Person offered this appraisal of the proposed initiative. “Passage of this ordinance would be a historic first step in moving towards the ultimate goal of normalizing the consumption of marijuana in our country. The initiative would provide responsible adults a legally defined space where marijuana could be consumed and shared with other like-minded adults — a simple, yet necessary accommodation for states that have passed some form of legalization. This is a pragmatic approach that focuses on the basics and provides the city of Denver a solution to an issue that is not going away.”
Proponents have until August 15 to collect 5,000 valid signatures to qualify the measure for the November ballot.
In Alaska, the decision to license some version of marijuana lounges was made by the Alaska Marijuana Control Board last November, and this week the board issued draft regulations to define when and where “on-site consumption” would be permitted.
The proposed regulations are now open for public comment before the board finalizes them.
While the outline is still tentative, marijuana cafes would be permitted only in conjunction with an existing marijuana retail store, on the same premises, either indoor or outdoor, but with a separate entrance and separate serving area. A separate license would be required for on-site consumption.
Customers could purchase small amounts of marijuana ( 1 gram of marijuana, edibles with up to 10 milligrams of THC, or .25 grams of marijuana concentrates) to consume on-site and would not be permitted to bring their own marijuana to smoke on-site. Strangely, they would be required to leave any unfinished marijuana behind to be destroyed, and “happy hours” would not be permitted. Marijuana lounges would be permitted to sell food and non-alcohol beverages.
Marijuana Control Board chair Bruce Schulte explained the board was proceeding with a degree of caution, because this is new territory for state legalization regulatory agencies. One of the more difficult issues the board had to deal with, according to board member Brandon Emmett, was whether to permit dabbing.
Laboratories of Democracy
As former U.S. Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis famously said, “a state may, if its citizens choose, serve as a laboratory and try novel social and economic experiments without risk to the rest of the country.” Denver and Alaska are exercising that important role as we move forward with better and better versions of legalization. What we learn from these initial experiments with marijuana social clubs will inform subsequent states in the coming years.
This column first ran on Marijuana.com.
