Mulling Movies
Because Sometimes You Have to Let a Movie Stew
This review originally appeared on SFist.com.
The Witch is a tough sell. While it has both the creepiest and most beautiful imagery I've seen in a horror movie in many years, it's also pretty slow, and filled with dialogue I could only understand maybe half the time. This isn't the kind of movie most horror fans are going to flock to.
The story centers on a family of 17th century Puritans in New England who are banished from their village and forced to live alone on their own farm, right outside an imposing woods. When their newborn baby disappears right before the eyes of eldest daughter, Thomasin (Anya Taylor-Joy), the logical conclusion is he was kidnapped by a witch.
The film takes place several years before any of the Salem Witch Trials took place, and director Robert Eggers presents the idea of witchcraft as it was viewed by those early Puritan settlers. To them, witches were as real as the elements, and as real as God. Evil was not to be doubted. What was to be doubted was the innocence of those accused of it.
What happens to the family is like a mini-version of the later witch trials, as accusations are tossed around, and the family begins to turn on each other, convinced the real witch is among them. And therein lies the real horror: The rejection of family and the safety of home.
Much of the dialogue in the film is taken from actual journals and writings from the era. This, along with impeccable costuming, and the dead on-look of a sad and dilapidated farmstead, gives the film some admirable authenticity. But combining that dialogue and its unfamiliar sentence structure with the thick English accents of the cast meant I spent a lot of the movie wishing it had a subtitle option. (This will definitely be getting a second viewing come its video release.)
If we are to take the presentation of the witch in the movie to be as real as the characters believe it to be, (and the movie does leave this a bit ambiguous), then we might also have to accept that said witches were evil, and the subsequent witch trials were completely justified. On the other hand, to see the abject misery the women in this family are subjected to, well, who the hell wouldn't want to leave all that to go dance naked in the woods and fly across the sky on a broomstick?

Greetings from the just ended WB Annual Meetings for Fall 2011!
It is with gladness that I share with you some news and thoughts about some exciting things I have learned during the flurry of activities, conversations, advocacies and sharing in this gathering of CSOs for the WB annual meeting.
As you note ANSA EAP has not been investing much time and effort establishing presence in the many consultations and gathering of CSOs on the global level. This is due to our decision to focus our efforts especially during the start up phase of ANSA EAP - to the much needed work of consolidating the CSO networks towards a social accountability framing and perspective.
As I compose this letter, I look back to the time before ANSA EAP when the work of social accountability was seeded in the 2007 consultations held in Tagaytay, Philippines. In this event, Mary McNeil of the World Bank Institute in Washington DC and Andrew Parker of the WB Country Office in Manila, joined Phil CSO leaders in dialogue as they shared their analyses, programs, and initiatives in pushing a demand for good governance agenda and linking it to the concept of social accountability.
Much has happened between 2007 and today September 2011 – a good four years, ANSA EAP has been put up as a regional networking of networks and exerted a focused although initial effort to link the rich experiences and fruits of country and community level work of CSOs and citizen groups in an across the Philippines, Cambodia, Mongolia, and Indonesia.
On the global front, other ANSAs (Africa, South Asia, and now just formally launched – ANSA MENA for the Middle East and North Africa) are putting flesh in the agenda of social accountability. Suffice it to say that the conversations and statements that permeate the Annual Meeting serve as demonstration of the process that the Bank is more strongly and formally supporting social accountability. More importantly, CSOs are openly embracing the perspective, cause and work of social accountability as they validate the imperative for increasing demand for good governance in the many sectoral and technical of their programs.
The idea of SAc has started to take flesh and is gaining ownership in the Bank. Expectations about what could be achieved on the front of poverty reduction, sustainable development and economic growth have been raised. Engagement with CSOs and citizen groups are becoming better articulated, structured and coordinated under various platforms.
The ANSA has gained a spotlight as ANSA MENA was formally launched with high-level stakeholder signatories – no less than the Tunisian Minister of Finance, Egyptian Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs and Finance, WB President Zoellick, WB VP for the Arab World, CARE Egypt (caretaker organization of ANSA MENA), and leading CSO representatives from the region.
ANSA MENA is welcomed with much expectation from the many CSOs from the countries of the Middle East and North Africa. It is after all the first structured space for CSO collaboration and thus a test for building the muscle of citizen and CSO coalition building in this part of the world.
The ANSA in MENA is poised to serve as a gateway to many other platforms for meaningful CSO and citizen participation towards shaping and directing development programing and implementation in the countries in the region.
Our counterpart CSOs in MENA are now gaining the experience of balancing the technical demands of engaging government and the Bank as well as the process of relationship building - of collaboration and coalition building; evidence based policy advocacy. Soon I believe they will move more rapidly and with confidence into other sector or thematic- focused coalition-building platforms addressing climate change, renewable energy, gender and development, and more.
I am enthused with the possibilities open to ANSA MENA at the same time cautious. The task before them and their partner CSOs is daunting. This is made more so by the very public and high profile launching that is accompanied by much dynamics and awakened interests.
I look back at the relatively safer space and below the radar way by which we in ANSA EAP were able to craft our agenda and focus. We had the chance to quietly immerse ourselves and listen to each other, we had the space to gain firmer foothold through our strategic and thematic initiatives. We had some time to nourish the fruit of our labor and even package them well.
Now we face the task of the calling attention of other stakeholders to what we have achieved so far and what we still could achieve given adequate support. Mobilising resources is indeed an uphill battle – not it seems for the country level work you our partners undertake – but for the regional – cross country efforts of coordination, linkage and knowledge management.
I am heartened though by my belief that we as ANSA EAP and the other ANSAs have contributed to the celebration of ANSA MENA. After all we were able to demonstrate how ANSA can serve as a working regional platform towards fostering CSO and citizen engagement in good governance.
One ANSA's gain serves our common agenda, our shared ideals. The achievements of the ANSAs combined help feed the fire of our commitment to the work of social accountability.
The plan to set up a CSO Facility to provide support - funding the CSOs and citizen groups focused on promoting good governance in development undertakings.
Nor's appointment is the first ever Bank initiative to provide for a regional perspective and approach to engaging CSOs and citizens groups. This effectively provides ANSA EAP, as regional facility for CSO networking and capacity building, to have a direct partner and counterpart in the Bank.
Meanwhile the CSO facility gives us hope that resource mobilization for social accountability work becomes better and systematically addressed.
Indeed these are great beginnings that build on our past and existing efforts as mediating agents for citizen groups. Let us gain strength and encouragement that our work is gaining ground and we the advocates and front line workers who cultivate social accountability through various development platforms are able to attract more co-workers – advocates, resource mobilisers, technical support and intellectual stimulation in mainstreaming social accountability.

Q: How do I get Ajax to work with Telerik DockZone, ListView and DataPager I'm having a bit of a difficult time trying to figure out exactly how to make a correct Ajax call work with the Telerik DockZone, ListView and DataPager. I'm hoping someone can help out a bit.
I am dynamically adding RadDock in code behind to the Zones.
Here is code for main page (which I have to restructure soon b/c of lots and lots of layout issues with IE and Firefox, but, that's out of context of what I'm asking here!)
<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="ClientView.aspx.cs" Inherits="News.UI.Form_ClientView" %>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="telerik" Namespace="Telerik.Web.UI" Assembly="Telerik.Web.UI" %>

    <title></title>
    <link href="Styles/ClientView.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

<form id="Form1" runat="server">
    <asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server"></asp:ScriptManager>

    <telerik:RadDockLayout runat="server" ID="RadDockLayout1" EnableEmbeddedSkins="true" Skin="Office2007" Visible="true">

            <telerik:RadDockZone Width="100%" MinHeight="0" BorderStyle="None" runat="server" ID="RadDockZoneTop" Orientation="Vertical" Visible="true"></telerik:RadDockZone>

            <telerik:RadDockZone Width="100%" Height="100%" MinHeight="0" BorderStyle="None" BorderWidth="0" runat="server" ID="RadDockZoneV1" Orientation="Vertical"></telerik:RadDockZone>
            <telerik:RadDockZone Width="100%" Height="100%" MinHeight="0" BorderStyle="None" BorderWidth="0" runat="server" ID="RadDockZoneV2" Orientation="Vertical"></telerik:RadDockZone>
            <telerik:RadDockZone Width="100%" Height="100%" MinHeight="0" BorderStyle="None" BorderWidth="0" runat="server" ID="RadDockZoneV3" Orientation="Vertical"></telerik:RadDockZone>

    </telerik:RadDockLayout>

</form>

From here, in the code behind I will add RadDock, example like this:
RadDock dockNews = new RadDock();
dockNews.DockMode = DockMode.Docked;
dockNews.ID = "dockNews";
dockNews.Tag = "dockNews";
dockNews.Title = "News";
dockNews.Skin = "Office2007";
dockNews.Width = Unit.Pixel(200);
dockNews.Style.Add("margin-bottom", "5px");
dockNews.DockHandle = DockHandle.TitleBar;
dockNews.DefaultCommands = Telerik.Web.UI.Dock.DefaultCommands.All;
Control ctrlNewsRoom = LoadControl("~/ClientView/ctlNewsRoom.ascx");
RadDockLayout1.Controls.Add(dockNews);
RadDockZoneV1.Controls.Add(dockNews);
dockNews.ContentContainer.Controls.Add(ctrlNewsRoom);

Finally, in the "ctlNewsRoom" I have a ListView using a DataPager. What I would like to do is, on the change of pages is that only the one Dock be updated. Right now what is happening is that all Docks on the main page are being updated. I'm thinking (or hoping) that I just don't have everything hooked up together.
<%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="ctlNewsRoom.ascx.cs" Inherits="News.UI.ctlNewsRoom_Control" %>
<%@ Register Assembly="Telerik.Web.UI" Namespace="Telerik.Web.UI" TagPrefix="telerik" %>

                <telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="dsNews" />

            protected void dsNews_Selecting(object sender, LinqDataSourceSelectEventArgs args)
            {

                args.Result = LoadData();
            }

            private IList LoadData()
            {

                m_SettingManager = new SettingManager();
                m_Context = m_SettingManager.DataContext;

                var q = from tmp in m_Context.NewsRooms where
                                         (!(tmp.RecordExpiration.HasValue) || tmp.RecordExpiration.Value >= DateTime.UtcNow)
                                         orderby tmp.PublishDate descending
                        select new { tmp.RecordID, Name=tmp.Name.Substring(0,75), PublishDate = tmp.PublishDate.ToShortDateString(), Description=tmp.Description.Substring(0,175), URL=tmp.URL };

                return q.ToList();

            }

        }
    }

A: Your current implementation is too complex and I don't think you need to use the RadAjaxManager control. What you are describing - being able to update a single dock without affecting the rest of the page - can happen by simply wrapping the dock content (the user control) in a RadAjaxPanel. For example:
<telerik:RadAjaxPanel ID="RadAjaxPanel1" runat="server">
    <asp:LinqDataSource ID="dsNews" runat="server" OnSelecting="dsNews_Selecting" />
    <asp:ListView ID="lvNews" runat="server" DataKeyNames="RecordID"   DataSourceID="dsNews">
        ...
    </asp:ListView>
</telerik:RadAjaxPanel>

This way you can be sure that interacting with the content of one dock will not affect the others.

Pabst Blue Ribbon Cannabis Infused Seltzer Debuts in California
Pabst Labs, a newly formed licensed cannabis company, has announced the initial launch of Pabst Blue Ribbon Cannabis Infused Seltzer.
Los Angeles, CA -- PRESS RELEASE -- Pabst Labs, a newly formed licensed cannabis company, has revealed the initial launch of Pabst Blue Ribbon Cannabis Infused Seltzer. The famed Blue Ribbon, synonymous with good times for over 175 years, will now adorn the can of a non-alcoholic THC infused seltzer developed by Pabst Labs.
Pabst Labs was founded by a group of cannabis beverage experts and former Pabst Brewing Company employees who were granted the rights to create a line of cannabis infused drinks under the Pabst Blue Ribbon Name. Pabst Labs is responsible for the production, marketing and sales of the new drink.
"Pabst Blue Ribbon has an incredibly loyal and passionate customer base who are open to change and embracing new ideas. We've spent a long time creating a quality product for both new and experienced users, and believe the entry of an established brand can help kick-start the cannabis drinks category," said Mark Faicol, Pabst Labs Brand Manager.
Pabst Blue Ribbon Cannabis Infused Seltzer marks a major milestone for the burgeoning cannabis drinks industry, and an awesome way for lovers of Pabst Blue Ribbon to experiment with a new kind of buzz. The initial test launch will see Pabst Blue Ribbon Cannabis Infused Seltzer available for customers in a select group of California dispensaries and direct to California consumers via shop.PabstLabs.com.
Pabst Labs is thrilled and honored to develop a product that's fit to use the famed Pabst Blue Ribbon name. Pabst Blue Ribbon is one of America's most beloved brands, a champion of the creative community and lifestyle, and recently has been innovating beyond beer, with the launches of Hard Coffee, Hard Tea and Harder Seltzer.
Pabst Blue Ribbon's willingness to experiment and push boundaries led Pabst Labs to enquire about collaborating, and a shared passion for quality and innovation ultimately led to Pabst Labs being granted the rights to create a line of cannabis infused drinks worthy of the Blue Ribbon.
Each 12 oz can of Pabst Blue Ribbon Cannabis Infused Seltzer is made from the highest-quality ingredients and serves up a delicious effervescent lemon-flavored seltzer that contains just 4 grams of sugar, 25 calories and contains no preservatives. With 5 mg of THC per can Pabst Labs has ensured it offers up a responsible dosage designed to make it a go to drink for both casual and experienced cannabis users. The lemon seltzer will be the only flavor available during initial launch, but additional flavors are already in development.
"Though this is a limited initial launch, we've had a really enthusiastic and positive response from dispensaries and customers, and are looking forward to a wider roll out in the coming months. For over 175 years the Blue Ribbon has connected fans across generations around its products, and we think customers, new and old, are going to love the chance to experiment with something different from a brand they trust," concluded Faicol.
Pabst Labs is headquartered in Los Angeles and is committed to producing high-quality cannabis-infused beverages that push the category forward.

Lantern Becomes First Platform to Offer On-Demand Recreational Cannabis Delivery in Detroit
Beginning today, Detroit residents can order cannabis to their door in one hour or less.
Vendor News Delivery
DETROIT, Oct. 8, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- PRESS RELEASE -- Lantern, an on-demand cannabis e-commerce marketplace and home delivery platform in the U.S., has become the first to launch on-demand recreational cannabis delivery services into Detroit. The company began offering scheduled medical and adult-use cannabis deliveries in Ann Arbor in July and was recently authorized by the Michigan Marijuana Regulatory Agency (MRA) to start deliveries for on-demand adult-use products into Detroit.
Orders placed on Lantern will be processed and delivered by 3Fifteen, Michigan's largest in-state owned and operated cannabis group. The new on-demand dynamic delivery model will be first-to-market in Michigan, starting with service to Detroit. Through Lantern, customers over the age of 21 can now conveniently access their favorite recreational cannabis products. Previously, consumers could only receive recreational cannabis deliveries by scheduling them ahead of time; otherwise they had to drive to a recreational retailer outside Detroit city limits. Now, customers will be able to order online at LanternNow.com and have products delivered to their homes within an hour. Lantern is also offering free delivery on all orders.
"Lantern is leaning on its more than eight years of regulated e-commerce delivery experience from our sister-company, Drizly, and its current market expertise to provide best-in-class service to recreational customers in Michigan," said Meredith Mahoney, president of Lantern.

Vermont Becomes Eleventh State to Legalize Adult-Use Marijuana Sales
But realistically, regulators will not begin licensing cannabis-related businesses and activities until the spring of 2022.
State by State: Vermont Legislation Sales
Montpelier, VT, PRESS RELEASE: Republican Governor Phil Scott today announced that he would permit legislation, Senate Bill 54, to become law establishing rules and regulations overseeing the commercial production and retail sale of marijuana to adults. The measure will become law absent the Governor's signature.
Vermont lawmakers depenalized the possession and cultivation of small quantities of marijuana by adults in 2018, but that law did not legalize any commercial activities involving either cannabis production or sales. Ten states currently regulate adult-use marijuana sales.
NORML State Policies Coordinator Carly Wolf said: "Ten of the eleven states that have legalized adult-use marijuana possession have also wisely regulated the retail cannabis market; until today, Vermont had been the sole exception.
"This comprehensive legislation was debated and amended over a period of several months by members of both chambers, and it is supported by a majority of Vermont voters. Senate Bill 54 represents an opportunity to bring common-sense controls to the adult-use marijuana marketplace, which is currently unregulated, unlicensed, and untaxed. While the law, as written, is not perfect, we are confident that lawmakers will continue to further amend these proposed rules and regulations accordingly in a manner that both prioritizes public safety as well as the needs of entrepreneurs looking to enter into this space. This is a victory for those who wish to disrupt the illicit marketplace and move forward with an above-ground, regulated cannabis marketplace."
Senate Bill 54 establishes rules and taxation rates governing the licensed commercial production and sale of cannabis and cannabis products to adults. Under the plan, retail products would be subject to a 14 percent excise tax, in addition to the state's six percent general sales tax. The potency of herbal cannabis products will be capped at 30 percent THC while concentrates will be limited to no more than 60 percent THC. Products cannot be packaged in a manner that appears appealing to children. Prior to the operation of any licensed cannabis facility, a municipality will need to hold a vote to in favor of permitting commercial activities within their locality.
The new law takes effect on October 1, 2020. However, regulators will not begin licensing cannabis-related businesses and activities until the spring of 2022.
It has also been reported that the Governor signed separate legislation today, Senate Bill 234, which facilitates the automatic review and expungement of low-level marijuana convictions. That law takes effect on January 1, 2021. The measure is expected to result in the expungement of the criminal records of over 10,000 people convicted of possessing two ounces or less of marijuana. Separate provisions in the bill reduce the penalties for offenses involving the possession of more than one ounce but less than two ounces of marijuana and/or the cultivation of three plants to a civil fine.

Following End of Caregiver Sourcing to Michigan Cannabis Businesses, Redbud Roots Works to Address Supply Issues
New facilities, automation and a high-THC cultivar keep cannabis product on the move.
State by State: Michigan Medical Cannabis Sales
For some people in the Midwest, the close of September signaled not only the changing of the leaves and an increase in pumpkin-flavored and -scented product availability, but the end of an era for cannabis. Michigan's caregivers are no longer sourcing dispensaries with product.
"There is a massive shortage on distillate in the state of Michigan, particularly in light of the phaseout of caregivers," said Alex Leonowicz, COO and general counsel of Redbud Roots, a vertically integrated cannabis company based in Buchanan, Mich. "There have been rumors of distillate pricing reaching as high as [$25,000 to $30,000] for a liter. Likewise, vape cartridge demand has skyrocketed."
During the March through September phase-out of caregiver sourcing for medical dispensaries, Leonowicz said, dispensaries and customers had already been feeling the effects. (In April, the Michigan Marijuana Regulatory Agency cut off caregiver sourcing for adult-use dispensaries.)
Past experiences foreshadowed growing pains that would come with phasing the model out. Redbud, established in 2017, was one of the first several commercial growers and manufacturers to supply cannabis product into the retail market alongside caregivers, Leonowicz said.
"We couldn't even come close to supplying all the stores," he said, explaining that the state had previously warned of a phaseout. "So, guys rise up, and they're like, 'Wait, I can't buy it from my caregiver; you [the state] are shutting those guys down. Yet, your new model isn't ramped up enough. So, you're leaving people that utilize the plant for truly medicinal purposes without medicine.' That's what allowed them to continue to supply into the commercial model for so long."
Now, in a caregiver-less climate, Redbud is working to help fill the supply void.
"Being forward-thinking, we've ramped up both our production capacity and the cultivation," Leonowicz said. "We added a new grow facility. We also automated all of our cartridges, edibles and prerolls.
"For us, we looked at it like, 'Hey, there's obviously a huge wave of shortage coming here. How can you meet that?' Automation seems to be a huge answer to that because you can only make so many prerolls [by hand]. You're sitting there pouring it in and then packing it in, versus a machine that can do 5,000 of them in two days."
This automation is taking place in a new 15,000-square-foot processing and packaging facility that Redbud opened in Buchanan in late September. Located "a few parcels down" from the company's three cultivation facilities in Buchanan, Leonowicz said the facility will increase the company's output by five times and serve as a distribution hub.
Serving the Michigan Market in Other Ways
Leonowicz recently shared some other business developments with Cannabis Business Times and Cannabis Dispensary.
The astronaut sculpture at Redbud Roots' Muskegon location
On the cultivation side, Redbud has grown its SFV #4 cultivar to produce more than 32% THC. (It is not an original cut from the plant.) First grown under LED lights, the company launched its SFV #4 in its own retail locations and have since begun to wholesale it to dispensaries. Redbud is now growing the cultivar under HID lights and expects that product to have a strong THC percentage and yield.
To accommodate retail needs, Redbud opened a medical and adult-use dispensary in Muskegon, Mich., more than 100 miles north of Buchanan, in July. A 12-foot-tall red astronaut sculpture welcomes patrons and passersby; the company had it specially made by Innovative Sculpture Design to garner some attention.
That's just the start of Muskegon customers' retail experiences. The company hired employees from around Muskegon to provide customers and patients with a sense of familiarity.
The Redbud Roots Muskegon Provisioning Center is currently only offering curbside pickup.
"A lot of shops set [locations] up, and they all look and feel the same. It's kind of like a Walgreens or CVS—you know where to go, you know how to navigate it," Leonowicz said. "And that's fine. We're, I guess, trying to cater to the feel and the soul of each little city."
The Redbud Roots Muskegon Provisioning Center sees about 85% adult-use customers and 15% medical patients, Leonowicz said. In a typical week, to both markets, he said it sells 12 to 13 pounds of flower, 900 to 1,100 cartridges and 800 to 1,000 prerolls.
The storefront is one of three competing dispensaries that have opened in Muskegon so far. The city created a "marijuana overlay district" to dictate where plant-touching businesses can operate, according to ABC affiliate WZZM.
Leonowicz applauds the city's decision to welcome new businesses to an area that has historically had vacant buildings and low traffic flow.
"You build awareness of this whole area of the city who lives over here," he said. "I thought it was pretty smart to bunch them together. Obviously, it stinks from a competition standpoint because you've got a guy right down the street from you. But that's why we brought the astronaut in."

Court Begins Trial of Kem Sokha on Treason Charge
Nimulsm
AKP Phnom Penh, January 15, 2020 —
Phnom Penh Municipal Court this morning kicked off the trial of former President of the dissolved Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP) Kem Sokha on treason charge.
Mr. Kem Sokha arrived at the court at around 7:30 am while the hearing started at 8:00 am until noon. It will resume at 2:30 pm.
Mr. Kem Sokha was arrested and imprisoned at a detention centre on Sept. 3, 2017 under allegations of treason.
On Nov. 16, 2017, his party was dissolved by the Supreme Court of Cambodia on charge of conspiracy with foreigners to topple the government, and 118 of its members, including Mr. Kem Sokha, were banned from politics for five years.
On Sept. 10, 2018, more than a year after his arrest, he was sent from the detention centre to be placed under house arrest.
On Nov. 10, 2019, he was released from house arrest for humanitarian reason to remain in the comfort of his home with his family under court surveillance.

This is honestly one of the most captivating books in the Science Fiction genre that I have read so far in 2016. Renny is the type of character that does not know her own strength and abilities until she is tested. You just want to cheer her on due to her struggles and not knowing her place. I'm not going to lie, I was a bit skeptical about the premise of the book when I first started reading it but I was proven wrong. I started reading this during a difficult time in my life and it helped me forget all of my problems for a few days.
The plot of the story was on point. There was action, drama, suspense, romance, and magic. The character development was spot on. The dialogue between the characters was superb. I feel as if I could wax poetic about this book for hours on end.
I will definitely recommend this book to everyone who loves this particular genre. I am hoping that there is a sequel in the works. I give it 5/5 Platypires.

The Stash/Industry/South Dakota's Marijuana Legalization Rescinded
South Dakota's Marijuana Legalization Rescinded
The state's Supreme Court ruled its voter-approved recreational marijuana bill was unconstitutional
by Marie Edinger– December 9, 2021
Back in September, Wikileaf reported on South Dakota's struggle to get marijuana on the shelves after its voters chose to legalize the product for both medicinal and recreational use in a first-of-its-kind election year. That struggle was due in large part to the state's own governor, Kristi Noem, who led a legal fight against her own citizens. Though Noem lost her bid against medical marijuana, she seems to have won out in her push against recreational weed. That's all thanks to a technicality.
Medical marijuana passed in South Dakota through a ballot measure, which passed with an astonishing 70% supermajority. Measure 26 allows people diagnosed by a physician to have a debilitating medical condition to get a medical marijuana card that approves them to possess up to three ounces of marijuana. Governor Noem tried to delay the implementation of Measure 26, but ultimately failed, and then did a 180 to switch her tune in sudden support of the measure.
Recreational marijuana, however, passed through an amendment to the state's constitution. That type of law has other regulations. The one that caused trouble for Amendment A is that changes to the constitution must only address a single subject. In a 4-1 ruling, the South Dakota Supreme Court said Amendment A touches on "at least three separate subjects, each with distinct objects or purposes" and considers adding at "at least nine different provisions to the Constitution."
Those provisions included:
Creating a constitutional right for individuals at least 21 years of age to possess and use certain quantities of marijuana;
Regulating the planting, cultivating, harvesting, drying, processing, and manufacturing of marijuana;
Creating civil penalties for individuals that violate the provisions in Amendment A;
Making the South Dakota Department of Revenue responsible for the regulation and oversight of the production, sale, and possession of marijuana;
Creating statewide regulation of the licensing of producers, manufacturers, and sellers of marijuana;
Authorizing local regulation of the commercial sale and distribution of marijuana for individuals at least 21 years of age and regulation to allow individuals at least 21 years of age to cultivate marijuana at a private residence;
Establishing the taxation of marijuana sold to individuals at least 21 years of age;
Mandating the Legislature to enact legislation by April 1, 2022
The court counted two different offenses with the start date to the legislation because of the language explaining why the project must be done by then.
Amendment A passed in South Dakota with 54% of voters in favor of the change. But Governor Kristi Noem, who won with only 51% approval in her state, chose to argue against the 34,783 South Dakotans who showed up to the polls and said they wanted adult-use marijuana. Noem had Highway Patrol Superintendent Colonel Rick Miller sue on her behalf, and Pennington County Sheriff Kevin Thom joined in. A Circuit Court ruled against Amendment A, and an appeal sent the argument to the State Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court treated the legal battle as though it had come from Governor Noem herself, stating in its decision, "…The Executive Order makes clear that the Governor intended to challenge Amendment A by her authority in Article IV, § 3 of the Constitution, that she authorized the suit filed by Miller, desired that it continue, and affirmed it in all respects."
Chief Justice Steven Jensen, who authored the decision, did bring up that Governor Noem could have and should have challenged Amendment A before it went up for voter approval. She could have done that in several ways, for instance seeking injunctive relief to prevent the South Dakota Secretary of State from putting the Amendment on the ballot in the first place.
For her part, Governor Noem seems to be celebrating the ruling. In a statement, the Governor said,
"South Dakota is a place where the rule of law and our Constitution matter, and that's what today's decision is about. We do things right – and how we do things matters just as much as what we are doing. We are still governed by the rule of law. This decision does not affect my Administration's implementation of the medical cannabis program voters approved in 2020. That program was launched earlier this month, and the first cards have already gone out to eligible South Dakotans."
When Wikileaf talked with South Dakotans for Better Marijuana Laws in September, Matthew Schweich, the campaign director for that agency told The Stash that if Amendment A failed in court, his agency would continue pushing forward. After checking back in with Schweich, it seems SDBML's tune hasn't changed.
"We remain hopeful that Amendment A will be restored by the South Dakota Supreme Court. However, the November 8 deadline for 2022 ballot qualification is quickly approaching, and we have no choice but to launch a signature drive," Schweich said in a statement. He continued,
"In the coming days, we will be distributing petitions to volunteers all across the state and signing locations where voters can easily sign our petitions. We have less than a month to collect the signatures we need, but our supporters are very energized. They are deeply frustrated by Governor Noem's decision to launch a taxpayer-funded lawsuit against Amendment A, the lack of a ruling in the case, and Governor Noem's failed attempt to severely delay the implementation of Measure 26.
"We originally filed five potential ballot initiatives, but we are choosing to move forward with short statutory legalization initiative because it is the most likely to withstand any future legal challenges."
South Dakotans for Better Marijuana Laws have already started up a campaign to get enough signatures for a new legalization initiative to be included on next year's ballot. Similar to Amendment A, the proposed law would allow adults 21 and older to possess up to 1 gram of marijuana for recreational use and would let them grow cannabis in their own homes for personal use.
South Dakota lawmakers, hearing their constituents' calls for legal marijuana, are acting on their own as well. A proposal to legalize recreational adult-use marijuana has been advancing and could pass in the next legislative season. It would eliminate criminal charges for possession of up to 4 ounces of marijuana, but ban consumption of the product in public spaces.
The problem is, even if that bid passed through every legislative committee and the full South Dakota Legislature, it would still have to clear the hurdle of getting the Governor's signature, which is highly unlikely to happen.

Issue for consideration in the Original Application:
identification, protection and restoration of water bodies in Gurgaon in Haryana.
Further, the scope of the above-stated issue was extended to the entire State and then to the entire country in the interest of the environment protection.
Bench stated that the steps taken in the above regard can hardly be held to be adequate.
Protection of water bodies serves a great public purpose and is essential for the protection of the environment. It helps not only aesthetics but also water availability, aquatic life, microclimate, recharge of groundwater and maintaining e-flow of the rivers.
Further, the bench stated that,
Under the Public Trust Doctrine, the State has to act as trustee of the water bodies to protect them for the public use and enjoyment for current and future generations.
Court noted the observations of the Supreme Court in the above-mentioned subject:
1. State of T.N. v. Hind Stone, (1981) 2 SCC 205, at page 212:
"6. Rivers, Forests, Minerals and such other resources constitute a nation's natural wealth. These resources are not to be frittered away and exhausted by any one generation. Every generation owes a duty to all succeeding generations to develop and conserve the natural resources of the nation in the best possible way. It is in the interest of mankind. It is in the interest of the nation."
2. Hinch Lal Tiwari v. Kamala Devi, (2001) 6 SCC 496, at page 500:
"13. It is important to notice that the material resources of the community like forests, tanks, ponds, hillock, mountain etc. are nature's bounty. They maintain delicate ecological balance. They need to be protected for a proper and healthy environment which enables people to enjoy a quality life which is the essence of the guaranteed right under Article 21 of the Constitution."
3. T.N. Godavarman Thirumulpad v. Union of India, (2002) 10 SCC 606, at page 628:
"… … …33. … As was observed by this Court in M.C. Mehta v. Kamal Nath our legal system based on English common law includes the public trust doctrine as part of its jurisprudence. The State is the trustee of all-natural resources which are by nature meant for public use and enjoyment. The public at large is the beneficiary of the seashore, running waters, air, forests and ecologically fragile lands. The State as a trustee is under a legal duty to protect the natural resources. These resources meant for public use cannot be converted into private ownership."
4. Jitendra Singh v. Ministry of Environment, 2019 SCC Online 1510 pr 20
"…. …. …
20. …. Waterbodies, specifically, are an important source of fishery and much needed potable water. Many areas of this country perennially face a water crisis and access to drinking water is woefully inadequate for most Indians. Allowing such invaluable community resources to be taken over by a few is hence grossly illegal."
Besides the above-stated observations,Tribunal also noted the advisory issued by the Ministry of Urban Development, Government of India, Central Public Health and Environmental Engineering Organization on "Conservation and Restoration of Water Bodies in Urban Areas".
Further, the Bench also stated that there is need for continuous planning and monitoring at National, State and District Levels.
Taking a note from CPCB's report, Bench agreed that there needs to be a single agency in every State/UTs to be set up.
The above work may either be assigned to the Wetland Authority of the State or the River Rejuvenation Committee or to any other designated authority such as the Secretary, Irrigation and Public Health/Water Resources.
The instant application was disposed of with the following directions:
All States/UTs may designate a nodal agency for the restoration of water bodies, wherever no such agency has so far been designated.
Under the oversight of the Chief Secretaries of the States/UTs, the designated nodal agency may:
a. hold its meeting not later than 31-01-2021 to take stock of the situation and plan further steps, including directions to District authorities for further course of action up to Panchayat levels and to evolve further monitoring mechanism as well as Grievance Redressal Mechanism.
b. Submit periodical reports to the CPCB/Secretary Jal Shakti Government of India. First such report may be furnished by 28-02-2021.

I am saddened to report that Talk of the Town has been placed on a pretty strict length limit of about 425 words. What that means for you, the clearly deranged reader, is that I will no longer be in here going on and on and on about nothing at all. Nope. The days where I'd just ramble relentlessly about trivial matters are over. Over, I say! From now on it's clear, concise and to the point. No more pointless babbling for this guy. No more redundancy and especially no more redundancy. Why, I'll be downright taciturn. Terse. Aloof. A veritable Spartan of words. No more superfluity or repetition just to cram this column space full like an overstuffed Christmas stocking. No more redundancy for this cat. And redundancy, I'm through with that, too.
A couple days before Christmas, a nice lady offered me $200 to show up at the home of a relative in an Uncle Sam outfit. I wore such an outfit as a gag on tax day a few years ago, but sadly I have since parted ways with it. My Halloween gear isn't completely depleted. I could have showed up as an elf, a cannibal clown or My Little Pony, although that latter isn't a costume, really. It's a lifestyle.
A week before Christmas, a fellow was arrested for drunken driving at 10:53 p.m. . . . 10-53 being the police code for drunken driving. Welp, that's it. The final milestone has been achieved and I'm retiring. I'll make that official at 10:44.
So, some kind stranger sent me a package with a handful of old baseball cards and a rather cryptic note that stated only: "Here. Can you throw these away?" There's no way I'm going to throw them away – there's a Dennis Eckersley in there, for crying out loud, and a Freddie Patek. Frankly, I don't know what I'll do with the cards. I can't help feel that this is some kind of test, like that time some weird angel showed me what life would be like if I'd never been born. Boy, that was a trip. Found Zuzu's petals, though.
If you really want a thrill next year, wait until Christmas morning and do all of your shopping at Cumberland Farms. Total rush. Hope you're enjoying the air freshener.
Boy, that whole scene was weird. Love to tell you all about it, but unfortunately, I'm out of words.

A Touch of Greatness, Part 1 - Pasion Flamenca's "Tributes"
by Marian Horosko
155 Mercer Street
He walked on quietly, faced upstage and raised his arms like a great eagle ready for flight. Jorge Navarro, artistic director, choreographer/dancer and founder of the Pasión Flamenca company, displayed his touch of greatness and command from the moment he walked slowly to center stage. There is no doubt that it is the quiet moments like this that are the hardest to perform but define the artist.
The company of eight, performed October 16-19 at the Joyce SoHo Theater, in a program called Tributes, in perfectly choreographed, tastefully executed scenes of Spanish life performed by superb dancers, singers and musicians.
The first work, "The Last Drop of Water," began and remained against a screen projection of water drops on leaves and ground as the solo progressed. It was a tribute to flamenco artists who perished from AIDS. The water represented life's cycles: from water that all life began and through water that all life is lived.
Novarro breaks up his statements with a perfectly performed double tour, stops with precision and never consults the audience on his progress with a look or gesture. His erect stance, expressive hands and thunderous heelwork and ease hide a prodigious technique. He is self-contained, man as philosopher and poet. It was a performance that will remain in memory.
No less masterful was the solo by composer/guitarist Pedro Cortés in a tribute to his esteemed teacher, Sabicas. Coming from a family of Spanish gypsy guitarists, he has toured extensively with dance companies Maria Benitez and Lola Flores. As an author, he has written two books published by the American Institute of Guitar and is the music director of the Pasión company.
"Los Mineros," a tribute to miners of the world's oldest load, Rio Tinto, who worked as enslaved laborers under lethal conditions in the 1800s. Here, Navarro and Antonio Hidalgo, director of choreography took a tremendous subject and condensed it into a gem with imaginative sequences of miners riding on open rail cars into molten ore fumes polluted with ash and death via respiratory diseases and infections. The work, "Los Mineros" escaped pathos and remained a dignified, graphic choreographic tribute.
As a finale, the company set in Algrias, a Sevillan barrio's favorite tablao establishment, expressed the dance, music and song in a traditional scene. "Estampas Flamencas," choreographed by Hidalgo, and Navarro, was introduced by José Moreno, who looks like a big, young Buddha, but moves like a feather. The group was joined by singers Bárbara Martinez and Alfonso Cid. Dancer, Rebeca Tomás, who wore the traditional long train costume may have been the smallest in stature, but she was impressive as she swept the skirt around her legs showing skill in her strong interpretation.

Officials release photos of missing Alabama inmate and corrections officer, including what she could look like with dark hair
The agency also released pictures of the inmate, Casey White, 38, as well as photos of identifying markers such as several tattoos. He should be considered "armed and extremely dangerous," the agency said in a news release Thursday.
The service is offering up to $10,000 for information leading to the capture of the inmate — who was being held on murder charges — and up to $5,000 for the officer, the release added.
Authorities also said they learned Casey White made threats against his ex-girlfriend and her sister that if he got out of jail he "would kill them," the release said. Authorities have warned his potential targets and have taken actions to protect them, it added.
The Marshals Service said the pair could be traveling in a 2007 orange or copper-colored Ford Edge which Vicky White purchased prior to the disappearance. Whether the vehicle has a license plate and what that plate could be is unknown, the release said.
Investigators are also chasing leads including reported sightings from Florida to Kentucky, Lauderdale County Sheriff Rick Singleton told CNN.
Over the past week, authorities discovered the officer, 56, and the inmate may have had a romantic relationship,
The pair, who are not related, disappeared last Friday morning when the corrections officer said she was taking Casey White from the Lauderdale County jail to the courthouse before going to get medical attention because she felt unwell, authorities have said. But the two never showed up at the courthouse and the officer didn't make it to the medical facility.
In the days since they went missing, investigators have determined the officer and inmate had a "special relationship" in which Vicky White afforded the inmate privileges, including extra food. The investigation was aided, in part, by inmates who informed officials of the relationship over the weekend, Singleton said.
Vicky White, the assistant director of corrections for Lauderdale County, was set to retire the day she went missing. She had also made some major financial moves leading up to the escape, like selling her home on April 18 for well below market value. The house sold for $95,550, according to documents, but county records list the home's total current parcel value to be $235,600.
"Clearly lots of planning went into this," Lauderdale County District Attorney Chris Connolly told CNN's "New Day" on Thursday.
Relatives and coworkers say they are stunned by the sudden disappearance of the corrections official, whom Singleton has described as a "model employee" with an "unblemished record."
Vicky White has an active warrant out for her arrest on charges of permitting or facilitating escape in the first degree. She is also no longer employed by the Lauderdale County Sheriff's Office, the office said in a statement Wednesday. While Friday was her last day of work, her papers were never finalized, the office said.
Relationship began in 2020, sheriff says
Investigators have traced the relationship to early 2020, when Casey White was brought to Lauderdale County for an arraignment on murder charges he is facing for the 2015 death of 58-year-old Connie Ridgeway, according to the sheriff.
"As far as we know, that was the earliest physical contact they had," Singleton said.
Casey White was returned to state prison after the arraignment to continue carrying out a 75-year sentence for a series of crimes he committed in 2015. The sheriff said the officer and inmate maintained communication by telephone. He had said earlier that Vicky White visited Casey White while he was in prison — but said Thursday that was incorrect.
Casey White was brought back to the Lauderdale County jail in February to attend court hearings related to his murder charges.
Over the course of this week's investigation, inmates said Casey White "was getting extra food on his trays" and "was getting privileges no one else got. And this was all coming from her," Singleton said.
"Some of the inmates here in our facility sent word to our investigators that there was a relationship between the two," Singleton told CNN. "We took their statements, what they said, followed up on it and we did confirm that in fact there was a relationship there."
The district attorney expressed disbelief Thursday at the idea Vicky White would be romantically involved with the inmate.
"I never would have thought that in a million years," he said, adding it's "such a shock that she's involved in this, and it is just stunning," he told CNN.
Connolly, who has known Vicky White for years, described her as a reliable person and "solid employee." If something needed to be done at the courthouse, for example, Vicky White was someone they could call, Connolly said.
"She was a longtime trusted employee at our jail and she just exploited the system," he said, "and really misused the trust and credibility she had gained over the years as a great employee."
Video captures quick escape
Vicky White brazenly violated department policy when she took Casey White from the jail, officials say.
The facility had a policy requiring that two sworn deputies accompany inmates at all times, including during transportation to the courthouse. Singleton said that policy was emphasized with respect to Casey White after authorities discovered he had a plot to escape custody and take a hostage in 2020 and uncovered a makeshift knife on him.
But last Friday, Vicky White asked an officer to prepare Casey White for transport, saying she would take him by herself to the courthouse since the other officers had already left for court and she was the only officer available with a certified firearm, Singleton said.
Surveillance video shows Casey White, shackled and handcuffed in an orange jumpsuit, being escorted into the back of Vicky White's patrol vehicle Friday morning.
The investigation has revealed the pair then drove to a shopping center parking lot less than 10 minutes away, left the patrol car in the lot and escaped in a gold- or copper-colored 2007 Ford Edge SUV with minor damage to the rear left bumper, authorities said.
"We know that there was never any effort to go to the courthouse. They went straight to Florence Square parking lot, dumped the patrol car, got in the other vehicle and left," Singleton said.
Investigation set back by release of a lead
Leading up to their escape, Vicky White purchased the SUV in Rogersville, in Lauderdale County, said Singleton. The night before she disappeared with Casey White, the officer parked the car in the shopping center parking lot. The pair drove to the parking lot the next day and fled in the SUV.
When investigators were finally able to confirm the description of the escape car Monday, they intended to send it internally to other law enforcement agencies, but the lead was accidentally released to the public.
"The description of the car is what we worked on hard all weekend because we had no clue what kind of vehicle they left in," Singleton told CNN's Don Lemon on Wednesday night. "We put the word out to law enforcement to be on the lookout and inadvertently one of those agencies sent the description out publicly. That really set us back."
Singleton said the pair has likely ditched the car by now because the description is being widely shared.
Wherever they are, Connolly said he hopes Vicky White will return safe.
"I think she's in danger," he said when asked what message he would give her. "So I would say: Come home."
Singleton made a similar plea Wednesday on ABC's "Good Morning America."
"Vicky, you've been in this business for 17 years, you've seen this scenario play out more than once and you know how it always ends," he said.
"Go ahead and end it now. Get to a phone, call 911, turn yourself in and help us get Casey White back behind bars because you know that's where he's going to eventually end up."
Correction: Due to incorrect information from the sheriff, an earlier version of this story inaccurately described Vicky White's interactions with Casey White while he was in state prison. They were in contact by phone, but Vicky White did not visit Casey White in prison, according to a statement from Sheriff Rick Singleton. The story also had an outdated value for Vicky White's home; the most recent value was $235,600. The previous version also gave an incorrect location for Rogersville; it is in Lauderdale County.
CNN's Michelle Watson, Jamiel Lynch, Chuck Johnston, Amara Walker, Jade Gordon, Ryan Young, Jaide Timm-Garcia and Tina Burnside contributed to this report.
