(1) 03252021 - What we know about a ship blocking the Suez Canal
(https://apnews.com/article/what-we-know-cargo-ship-block-suez-canal-d13b7f6e609b28f957d21ca66725c4ba)
A giant backhoe and a squadron of tugboats look minuscule against the cargo ship’s bulk, demonstrating the enormity of the challenge at hand: freeing the wedged, skyscraper-sized container ship that has blocked the entire width of the Suez Canal and created a major traffic jam on one of the world’s most crucial trade routes. The tugs and diggers toiled on Thursday as over 150 vessels carrying goods to destinations across the world on tight schedules remained trapped on either end of the canal, which links the Mediterranean and Red Seas. Over its 150-year history, Egypt’s Suez Canal has seen wars and crises — but nothing quite like the stranding of the Ever Given.

(2) 03282021 - New York lawmakers agree to legalize recreational marijuana
New York is poised to join a growing number of states that have legalized marijuana after state lawmakers reached a deal to allow sales of the drug for recreational use. The agreement reached Saturday, which is expected to be signed into law in the coming days, would expand the state’s existing medical marijuana program and set up a licensing and taxation system for recreational sales. It has taken years for the state’s lawmakers to come to a consensus on how to legalize recreational marijuana in New York. The legislation would allow recreational marijuana sales to adults over the age of 21, and set up a licensing process for the delivery of cannabis products to customers. Individual New Yorkers could grow up to three mature and three immature plants for personal consumption, and local governments could opt out of retail sales. The legislation would take effect immediately if passed, though sales wouldn’t start until New York sets up rules and a proposed cannabis board.
