Recreational use of marijuana is illegal in most parts of the world. The medical use of cannabis is legal in some countries, including the Czech Republic, Canada, Austria, the Netherlands, Italy and Germany. Australia is working to pass a law that will allow the use of marijuana for medical and scientific purposes. In the United States, federal law says all use of marijuana is illegal. But more than 30 states and the District of Columbia no longer arrest people for having medical marijuana, as long as they follow a state's medical marijuana rules.

Star networks are one of the most common computer network topologies. In its simplest form, a star network consists of one central node, typically a switch or hub, which acts as a conduct to transmit messages. In star topology, every node (computer workstation or any other peripheral) is connected to a central node.

Computer networking
A bus network is an arrangement in a local area network (LAN) in which each node (workstation or other device) is connected to a main cable or link called the bus.

A bus network is simple and reliable. If one node fails to operate, all the rest can still communicate with each other. For a major disruption to take place, the bus itself must be broken somewhere. Bus networks are easy to expand. Additional nodes can be added anywhere along the bus.

There are several limitations to the bus network topology. The length of the bus is limited by cable loss. A bus network may not work well if the nodes are located at scattered points that do not lie near a common.

Dog bite prevention is what can be done to stop dogs from biting. This takes work to  educate people on what they can do to stop a dog from biting. People can get serious injuries or even die from dog bites. About 16,000–39,000 persons come near dogs and other animals that have rabies each year. These people receive immunizations to prevent or treat a rabies infection. Up to 800,000 Americans are treated for dog bites each year. Half of these are children. Young children get bitten by their family dog. Very old people are more likely to be bit than younger adults.

About 4.5 million people in the US get bit by dogs each year. One out of five bites become infected. Dog bites are painful. 
dog bites can cause injuries or even death.
Can you get bit? 
If you know how to stop an dog from biting you will not be injured or die. Babies and children get bit more often than others. Small children can be bit if they walk toward or play with a dog. They should be watched by adults. Those children who are five-years-old to age nine are the most likely to be bit by a dog. Children need medical care for their bites more than adults. Men get bitten more than women. Over half of dog bites happen at home with dogs that are pets. If a home has many dogs then it is more likely that the people living in the home will be bitten. If there are two or more dogs in a home, the people in that home are fives more likely to be bitten.

When a dog is friendly it still may bite. If a dog wags its tail people think the dog is friendly. When a dog wags its tail it can be afraid, ready to fight, or angry. Dogs can wag their tail and then bite a person.
Things you can do 
Government and other organizations have published information that can help stop a dog from biting. They say:
do not try to stop dogs that are fighting.
 be very still when a dog moves toward you.
 if you fall, curl into a ball - then hide your head and cover your ears.
 tell someone, the police for example, if you see a dog that looks and acts sick.
 do not walk toward a dog you do not know.
 do not run from a dog.
 do not panic or make loud noises.
 do not go near a dog with puppies - it might think you want to hurt the puppies.
 do not let your dog bite you when it plays.
 do not let small children play with a dog by themselves.
 do not bother or touch a dog if it sick because sick dogs are more likely to bite.
 do not wake up the dog by touch - call the dog by name
 do not take things out of the dog's mouth
 do not touch the dog while it is eating.
 keep a dangerous dog away from children.
Just because a dog walks toward another dog or a person doesn't mean that it will bite. A dog is less likely to bite if more caution is practiced by the person. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have published materials so that children and others can know how they should act around a dog. Acting in a safe way will reduce the chance of a bite:
 Stop walking or moving.
 Stay still and be calm.
 Do not panic or make loud noises.
 Avoid eye contact with the dog.
 Say "No" or "Go Home" in a strong voice.
 Stand with the side of your body toward the dog. 
 Do not look into the dog's eyes, it will think you want to fight. 
 Wait for the dog to pass or slowly back away.
If you are attacked 
Even if you are attacked by a dog, you can protect yourself.
 Put your purse, bag, or jacket between you and the dog to protect yourself.
 If you are knocked down, curl into a ball with your head tucked in and your hands over your ears and neck.
 When you get to a safe place, quickly wash wounds with soap and water. 

Find a doctor:
 If the bite is bleeding, painful if you can see your muscle or bone.
 If the bite becomes red, painful, warm, or swollen, or if you get a fever.
 If it has been more than 5 years since your last tetanus shot and the bite is deep.

Training a dog makes it less dangerous. Children can learn how to not get bitten by a dog.

The National Rally (French: Rassemblement national or RN) is a far right political party in France. It used to be called the National Front until 2018.

The party was founded on 5 October 1972 by Jean-Marie Le Pen. The party was first called the National Front for French Unity (Front national pour l'unité française). Their most successful performance in the legislative elections was in 1997, where they received 14.9% of the vote in the 1st round and 5.7% in the 2nd round. Recently, they won the 2014 European Parliament election with 24.85% of the vote.

Only on three occasions has an FN / RN candidate advanced to the second round of the french presidential elections, Jean-Marie Le Pen in 2002 and his daughter Marine Le Pen in 2017, (again in 2022). Jean-Marie Le Pen heavily lost the second round, as he only received 17.8% of the vote; Marine Le Pen also lost the second round, only receiving 33.9% of the vote.
Jean-Marie Le Pen was leader of the party from 1972 until 2011. In 2011, the party voted to make Marine Le Pen leader. She wanted to soften the party's image. Marine Le Pen expelled her father from the party in 2015 after he made some controversial statements. On 24 April 2017, a day after the first round of the 2017 French presidential election, Marine Le Pen stepped down from her position. Steeve Briois is now the temporary leader.

The party is patriotic. The party is very Eurosceptic (meaning they are against the European Union) and wants to limit immigration. Marine Le Pen supports letting the government control health, education, transportation, banking and energy.

Sophie Louise Howard (born 17 September 1993) is a football defender who plays for 1899 Hoffenheim of Germany's Frauen-Bundesliga. Since 2017, she has been a member of the senior Scotland national team.

International career

Howard played twice for the Germany women's national under-20 football team in 2012. She was named in Germany's squad for the 2012 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup in Japan, but did not get to play in any matches. In 2016 she was called into a training camp for England's new "Next Gen" team. She said: "Although I was born and brought up in Germany it’s always been my ambition to play for England, and hopefully I’ve now taken my first step."

In March 2017 she was called up into the Scotland national team. The Scots had three injured defenders and were allowed to pick Howard because her grandfather is Scottish. She made her senior international debut on 11 April 2017, as a 64th-minute substitute in a 5–0 friendly defeat by Belgium in Leuven.

Anubias afzelii is a plant in the Araceae family. It was first described for science in 1857 by Heinrich Wilhelm Schott. That description was based on material collected in Sierra Leone by Adam Afzelius. Schott named the species after him. The genus Anubias was described at the same time. Only A. afzellii belonged to it. This is therefore the type species of the genus. A. afzelii was the first species of this genus known to science.

Where it grows
The plant is found in West Africa: Senegal, Guinea, Sierra Leone, and Mali.
Description
The plant's leave blades are elongated (long and thin) and leathery. They can be up to  long and  wide. The leaf stems are generally shorter than the blade. The leaves are set on a creeping and rooting rhizome. It is  thick. The spathe is  long (sometimes up to 9 cm long). It has a  long peduncle. The spadix is  long (sometimes up to 12 cm long). It is a little bit longer than the spathe. Therefore, the tip of the spadix sticks a little bit out of the spathe. The upper part of the spadix is covered with male flowers. Their 5-6 stamens are fused. The anthers (also called thecae) are on the sides. The lower part of the spadix is covered with female flowers. These are reduced to the ovary and stigma.

Ecology
The plant grows in wet, shady places. It flowers from the end of March to July. It fruits from April to September. The plant grows above water, but can sometimes be completely under water.
Growing conditions
This plant grows best when only partly under water and when not crowded by other plants. It is most suited for the paludarium. It can also be used in larger aquariums, where it grows very slowly. It does not need much light. It prefers a temperature range of 22-26 °C. It can be propagated by dividing the rhizome. Propagation by seed is also easy.

In five-dimensional geometry, a demipenteract or 5-demicube is a semiregular 5-polytope, constructed from a 5-hypercube (penteract) with alternated vertices removed.

It was discovered by Thorold Gosset. Since it was the only semiregular 5-polytope (made of more than one type of regular facets), he called it a 5-ic semi-regular. E. L. Elte identified it in 1912 as a semiregular polytope, labeling it as HM5 for a 5-dimensional half measure polytope.

Coxeter named this polytope as 121 from its Coxeter diagram, which has branches of length 2, 1 and 1 with a ringed node on one of the short branches,  and Schläfli symbol  or {3,32,1}.

It exists in the k21 polytope family as 121 with the Gosset polytopes: 221, 321, and 421.

The graph formed by the vertices and edges of the demipenteract is sometimes called the Clebsch graph, though that name sometimes refers to the folded cube graph of order five instead.
