If you don’t have a doctor and are sick enough to need emergency care, call ahead and let the hospital know you’re on the way. Keep up to date with reliable sources. Check back with us regularly for updates, and follow major news outlets and health authorities, such as the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) or World Health Organization (WHO). Need to know is often concurrently applied with mandatory access control schemes, in which the lack of an official approval (such as a clearance) may absolutely prohibit a person from accessing the information. This is because need to know can be a subjective assessment.

Todd McInturf, The Detroit NewsVoters in Michigan approved with 57% support legalizing recreational marijuana in November 2018. 6, 2018, after the election was certified, the law went into effect, ending marijuana's criminalization.

Is when our employees get to work,' said David Harns, spokesman for the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs. 'I doubt it will happen right at 10. After 10 o'clock, we'll approve it on our end, and the businesses have to do their part.' After however long that takes them — after they do what they need to — they can start sales, if they choose.' Todd McInturf, The Detroit News Where can consumers buy recreational marijuana?As of Dec. 1, six retailers have been licensed to sell adult-use marijuana, mostly in Ann Arbor.

We do anticipate long lines and products going fairly quickly,' Exclusive Brands' Jarrous said. 'We're going to do our best so that our medical patients won't be affected by the rush of recreational sales.' Todd McInturf, The Detroit News How much marijuana should a person consume?People have different tolerance levels, but for those looking to indulge, 'start low, go slow,' recommends Matthew Abel, a senior partner for the Detroit law firm Cannabis Counsel PLC.' When people are smoking, it has a more immediate effect,' he said. 'Especially if they are buying edible products, take at least an hour once they eat before increasing the dose. Might as well they wait two hours and make sure they don't negligently or innocently take twice as much as they would have liked. You can't bake off once you've eaten it.' How much does recreational marijuana cost?Prices are up to the retailers. Total costs, however, will be more expensive than medical marijuana.
Recreational marijuana has an excise tax of 10% in addition to the state's 6% sales tax.Base prices at Exclusive Brands and Michigan Supply and Provisions will be the same for medical and recreational marijuana, officials said. Exclusive Brands' range between $10 and $100 depending on the product, Jarrous said.

Kalkaska-based Real Leaf Solutions, a medical marijuana cultivator, has been granted a marijuana event organizer license. Todd McInturf, The Detroit News Are consumers' names recorded when they buy recreational marijuana?People purchasing recreational marijuana must show proof they are at least 21 years old, and retailers said they will swipe state IDs and driver's licenses to ensure the information stored on the card matches what is written on the ID.

Can consumers get recreational marijuana delivered?Not yet. Although 63 medical marijuana provisioning centers have requested and received approval from the Marijuana Regulatory Agency for home delivery, separate approval is needed for recreational delivery.
No retailers have received it. How will recreational sales affect the medicinal market?Officials with the Michigan Cannabis Industry Association have criticized the state's decision to allow retailers to transfer some of their medical marijuana into the recreational market over concerns that there already is a limited supply of marijuana for medical patients.Caregivers, who are registered in the state to grow medical marijuana for up to five patients and themselves, still are able to sell what they produce to licensed medical growers and processors in efforts to avoid shortages. But those businesses with recreational licenses on Sunday also will be able to transfer up to 50% of their product for recreational use.The ability to transfer the products 'created a spike in the wholesale price of the product,' said Robin Schneider, executive director of the Michigan Cannabis Industry Association. 'We finally have just seen improvement in inventory. The supply chain is extremely fragile.
This is a move backward in our opinion. I've never seen anyone pull a cowboy stunt like this.' The Marijuana Regulatory Agency is allowing transfers to happen 'until further notice,' Harns said, though it reserves the power to stop transfers.
Designated recreational product cannot be transferred back for medical sale in the tracking system.Only a 'limited amount of the product' will be transferred, Harns said. 'It is product medical patients have not chosen to purchase. It will help move (people) off the black market and into the regulated and tested product.' When will more recreational marijuana retailers open?The Marijuana Regulatory Agency issued the first recreational retailer license on Nov. 19, and it continues to process the dozens of applications it has received, including from 36 more retailers. More than 1,400 municipalities, however, have banned recreational marijuana businesses from opening shops in their [email protected]: @BreanaCNoble.
The term 'need to know', when used by government and other organizations (particularly those related to the military or espionage), describes the restriction of data which is considered very sensitive. Under need-to-know restrictions, even if one has all the necessary official approvals (such as a security clearance) to access certain information, one would not be given access to such information, or read into a clandestine operation, unless one has a specific need to know; that is, access to the information must be necessary for one to conduct one's official duties. This term also includes anyone that the people with the knowledge deemed necessary to share it with.
As with most security mechanisms, the aim is to make it difficult for unauthorized access to occur, without inconveniencing legitimate access. Need-to-know also aims to discourage 'browsing' of sensitive material by limiting access to the smallest possible number of people.
Examples[edit]
The Battle of Normandy in 1944 is an example of a need-to-know restriction. Though thousands of military personnel were involved in planning the invasion, only a small number of them knew the entire scope of the operation; the rest were only informed of data needed to complete a small part of the plan. The same is true of the Trinity project, the first test of a nuclear weapon in 1945.
Problems and criticism[edit]
Like other security measures, need to know can be misused by persons who wish to refuse others access to information they hold in an attempt to increase their personal power, prevent unwelcome review of their work, prevent embarrassment resulting from actions or thoughts.
Need to know can also be invoked to hide extra-legal activities. This may be considered a necessary use,[by whom?] or a detrimental abuse of such a policy when considered from different perspectives.
Need to know can be detrimental to workers' efficiency. The speed of computations with IBM mechanical calculators at Los Alamos dramatically increased after the calculators' operators were told what the numbers meant:[1]
Haven moon pc gameplay. The puzzles are neither too hard nor too easy, just like the length of the adventure is neither too long nor too short.
What they had to do was work on IBM machines - punching holes, numbers that they didn't understand. Nobody told them what it was. The thing was going very slowly. I said that the first thing there has to be is that these technical guys know what we're doing. Oppenheimer went and talked to the security and got special permission so I could give a nice lecture about what we were doing, and they were all excited: 'We're fighting a war! We see what it is!' They knew what the numbers meant. If the pressure came out higher, that meant there was more energy released, and so on and so on. They knew what they were doing.Complete transformation! They began to invent ways of doing it better. They improved the scheme. They worked at night. They didn't need supervising in the night; they didn't need anything. They understood everything; they invented several of the programs that we used.

In computer technology[edit]
The discretionary access control mechanisms of some operating systems can be used to enforce need to know. In this case, the owner of a file determines whether another person should have access. Need to know is often concurrently applied with mandatory access control schemes, in which the lack of an official approval (such as a clearance) may absolutely prohibit a person from accessing the information. This is because need to know can be a subjective assessment. Mandatory access control schemes can also audit accesses, in order to determine if need to know has been violated.
The term is also used in the concept of graphical user interface design where computers are controlling complex equipment such as airplanes. In this usage, when many different pieces of data are dynamically competing for finite user interface space, safety-related messages are given priority.
