According to experts, it basically protects pregnant women from having to choose between their paychecks and their health.
People in the workforce have received positive news with the introduction of a new law designed to eliminate discrimination against pregnant employees. According to the law, employers need to provide accommodations to them so that they can continue doing their jobs while they are expecting, reports CBS News. "The Pregnant Workers Fairness Act" promotes women's health and economic well-being. According to experts, it protects pregnant women from having to choose between their paychecks and their health.
Elizabeth Gedmark of A Better Balance, an advocacy group for pregnant workers, told CBS, "The PWFA is the culmination of a 10-year-long campaign to close gaps in civil rights laws so pregnant workers are not pushed out of jobs or forced to risk their health when they require reasonable accommodations on the job, like a water bottle to stay hydrated or a transfer away from strenuous heavy lifting."
The new law apparently closes a loophole between the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Pregnancy Discrimination Act (PDA). The ADA was set in place in 1990, it stops employers from discriminating against employees with disabilities and also forces them to provide accommodations for them. However, it does not see pregnancy as a disability that needs accommodation.
Tomorrow, the #PregnantWorkersFairnessAct goes into effect. This means that pregnant workers have new rights to reasonable accommodations in the workplace! I am incredibly thrilled to see this bill that is so close to my ❤ become a reality for working families 🧵— Gina Kelley (@ginakkelley) June 26, 2023
On the other hand, PDA, which came in 1978, bans employers from discriminating on the basis of pregnancy in hiring and firing. However, it only allows pregnant women workers to be treated as equal to other workers. This means that an employee who is pregnant could not be given a physically grueling task. Gedmark said that the problem with physically demanding workplaces is that it can be difficult to identify a person who needs to be treated the way you need to be treated. "Employers can treat everyone poorly and someone would then have to risk their health," he added.
In short, both laws were not providing protection for pregnant workers with pregnancy-related limitations. After the new law came into effect on Tuesday, employers need to provide accommodations for known limitations related to pregnancy unless it is causing a hardship on a company's operations.
Now, employers have to provide a range of accommodations to pregnant women which includes access to water, closer parking, flexible hours, and additional bathroom breaks. The House Committee on Education and Labor has mentioned examples of reasonable accommodations in its report on the new law. They included providing pregnant women with seating, water, closer parking, flexible hours, appropriately sized uniforms, and safety apparel. Moreover, additional bathroom, meal, and rest breaks.
Now that the #PWFA is the law, it's important to know your rights.— Rep. Nadler (@RepJerryNadler) June 27, 2023
The report also adds that PWFA will help pregnant women to maintain those careers. Also, women increasingly support their families, with 40% of them being sole or primary breadwinners. Reportedly, the law has come into the picture when the US has fallen behind its counterparts in women's labor force participation, according to ABC News. The data from the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development shows that the percentage of American women who are part of the labor market is 69% compared to Canada which has 77% and the UK at 75.1%.

Can drinking water fountains make a comeback?
You may remember when you were a kid, before plastic water bottles polluted the marketplace and environment, there were water fountains for drinking at public parks and spaces for when you got thirsty.
If there weren't drinking fountains, you simply drank from a neighbor's outdoor faucet or hose.
A couple of local men, avid runners, are trying to bring drinking water fountains back to Lafayette and they are seeking help.
Last fall, Mark C. LeBlanc and Butch Roussel were running together and lamenting that the lack of drinking water fountains limited their route. Roussel had just launched civicside.com, a crowdfunding/kickstarter website to fund community projects so that seemed like a logical way to bring filtered water fountains to various neighborhoods where people are active, LeBlanc said.
Their Hydrate Lafayette project took months of work, getting permission from various Lafayette Consolidated Government departments and working with a plumber, homeowners and the University of Louisiana at Lafayette's department of industrial design and architecture.
"A couple of people in Lafayette have water fountains on their mailboxes. They let anyone drink out of them," LeBlanc said. "That gave us the idea to see if we could get more homeowners to put fountains in."
Using 80 percent recycled materials, UL students designed and built several structures to support a water source and four winners were selected, LeBlanc said. Four others will be pedestal-type fountains similar to brick mailboxes, he said.
Now they're trying to fund the $14,500 project through civicside.com under Hydrate Lafayette. As of noon Friday, they were approaching 30 percent of their goal with only 24 days left.
The water stations will serve runners, bicyclists, walkers, children playing in neighborhoods, pets, the homeless and athletes. Two station locations that have been revealed thus far are St. Joseph Diner and the UL intramural field.
"The initial idea was for runners and walkers, people who are active," Roussel said. "But when you involve something like St. Joseph Diner, that's an area of town where people could use the fountain for a necessity, not because I don't want to bring my water bottle around."
It's about more than that for LeBlanc, too.
"I would like to see it succeed to prove to the public if you want something done you don't have to wait for politicians and bureaucrats to do it," he said.

Little bare feet, brown with dust, as children explore the expanse of farmland that is their heritage.
That is the vision Chuck and Julie Johnston have for their three children. It’s also one of the reasons they bought their dairy, which is part of Organic Valley, the largest farmer-owned organic cooperative.
“We wanted our kids to grow up this way,” said Julie Johnston, who, with Chuck, has been on the farm for nine years now. “We bought all our equipment and bought our cows.”
Julie went back to work full time for the first time in years to help support their farm operation, taking a job at the University of Tennessee Extension Office in Roane County.
Chuck travels to trim cattle’s hooves.
Their youngest, 3-year-old Kyker, follows her mother among the cows, picking her way through the rough grass.
She giggles contagiously one minute at a kitten trapped in her loving embrace, and next fusses at Bonnie, the attention-demanding farm dog. The other children are Abilene, 8, and Creek, 10.
The Johnstons say their Skipping Rock Dairy in the Philadelphia community is one of two certified organic dairy farms in the state. The other is in Benton.
“I think, long-term, it is a better financial return, because your cows have a tendency to last longer because they are under less stress,” Julie said. “Conventional is not bad. This is just more conducive to how the cow would act in a natural environment.”
In addition to the dairy, the Johnston farm is also being used by the UT to study which organic forages will do well in East Tennessee.
Organically designated cows are primarily fed pasture grass, which is more natural to their systems.
“With grain and commodities going higher and higher, it is a very economical way to feed your cows, but it is very labor intensive,” Julie said.
“When we can grow good pasture, we feed very very little grain,” she added. Their farm isn’t blessed with the richest soil.
Chuck put it more simply: “We’ve got sorry ground.”
“The basis of organic is getting healthier soil. Healthier soil, healthier plants, healthier animals, healthier people,” Julie said.
They cannot use many of the things conventional farmers use to treat the ground. Instead they use natural fertilizers.
“Chicken manure is a great source of nitrogen,” Julie said.
Fish oil and lime are also approved soil treatments.
Organic cattle aren’t given antibiotics. Once a sick cow is treated, it is sold to a conventional farmer.
Organic farmers can use natural remedies, like garlic, to treat infections.
“I think when you are organic, it helps you build a stronger herd faster, because if you have a sick cow, she leaves the herd,” Julia said.
Chuck feels good about the lack of hormones and antibiotics in his herd.
“When I was in high school, a lineman 6-foot-2-inches, 250 pounds — they were monster men. I think the way we feed our kids now — these kids are coming out of high school 6-foot-8-inches and 300 pounds. What has changed?” he said.
The Johnstons’ livestock include Holstein and Jersey breeds. They also have chickens, kittens, and Bonnie the herding dog.
“She’s a red heeler, so she helps get up the cows,” Julie said.
The cows are named in groups having names starting with A and so forth.
Inside, being milked is Apple. Outside in the field is her heifer, Fritter.
“I’m on Fs right now, so I know they all grew up together,” she said.
Julie has fond memories of her own childhood on a family farm.
“I grew up in the Northeast on the same farm my dad grew up on,” she said.
There are pros and cons in organic or conventional farming.
“It is a very fine line,” Julie said.
Organic farmers have to spend more time and money on making better pasture, and the paperwork involved in operating a certified organic dairy is considerable.
On the other hand, they are paid more.
“We have set prices for our milk,” Julie said.

Peter Tosh was not a man of peace. He was a revolutionary. "Peace," he told the feverish 40,000-strong crowd at the famousOne Love Peace Concert in 1978, is "the diploma you get in the cemetery", written on your tombstone: "Rest in Peace!"
Tosh believed in action. Standing 6ft 4in in his black beret and often wielding a guitar shaped in the form of an M16 assault rifle, he was the most militant member of the world's greatest reggae band, The Wailers. Next to him, Bob Marley looked like a mere pop star.
He knew what he was doing that charged evening as he strode to the microphone in his black martial arts uniform and put his life on the line in one of the most passionate and dangerous political speeches ever given by a musician. Addressing Jamaica's two leading politicians, Prime Minister Michael Manley and Edward Seaga, the Leader of the Opposition, as they sat before him at a time when the country was being rent apart by murderous political gun battles in its poorest districts, Tosh warned: "Hungry people are angry people".
Retribution was inevitable, and came five months later. He was taken into a police station and beaten relentlessly until his skull cracked open and the hand he attempted to shield himself with was broken. He only survived by playing dead.
Today, Tosh is relatively unknown. The One Love Peace Concert went down in history because Bob Marley called Manley and Seaga on stage and made them shake hands in front of the television cameras. Tosh's earlier, braver action was not televised because he ordered the "lickle pirates from America... wid dem camera and dem TV business" to stop filming. In the recorded version of that night, and in the history of popular music, Peter would be overshadowed by Bob, the man who he taught to play the guitar.
And yet, after a long hiatus in which the Jamaican establishment, that was so stung by his criticisms, had almost succeeded in expunging Tosh from an island soundtrack defined by tourist-friendly Marley anthems such as "Jammin'" and "Could You Be Loved", the legacy of Peter Tosh is now being recognised.
He is the subject of a biography, The Life of Peter Tosh: Steppin' Razor, by the British author John Masouri. The Oscar-winning director, Kevin Macdonald, is planning a feature based around the making of Tosh's first great solo album Legalize It. In October, near his family home in the rural Jamaican parish of Westmoreland, a two-day concert – Earth Strong Celebration – took place in the Peter Tosh Memorial Garden.
Last year, the governing People's National Party – which Tosh supported – awarded him Jamaica's great honour, the Order of Merit, which was bestowed on Marley in the weeks before Bob's death from cancer in 1981.
It is 26 years now since Tosh's own passing. He was the victim of a treacherous murder, robbed and slain in his own home by an acquaintance: a brutal example of the desperate ghetto behaviour he had warned Jamaica's leaders about. Whereas Marley's funeral was a global news story and brought Jamaica to a standstill, Tosh's burial was a fiasco. His mother had to disown one of the two 'fathers' who turned up and the service was interrupted by protesters, including one who stood by the coffin and implored the body to "Arise and open the casket!".
It's not clear how Peter Tosh, with all his revolutionary tendencies – musical and otherwise – would have regarded these belated celebrations of his memory and establishment-type attempts to reclaim him.
For Masouri, who compiled his biography over four years and based it on 100 interviews, Tosh's persona was exemplified by his relationship with the Rolling Stones. The band made him the only signing to their record label and hoped to gain credibility from association with an uncompromising iconoclast.
"He was even too hot for the Rolling Stones to handle," says Masouri of the short-lived relationship. "He was so principled and their hedonistic rock'n'roll lifestyle didn't interest him – he was genuinely revolutionary in his thoughts and ambitions for his music and he really did want to change the world with his songs."
Mick Jagger sung with him on a duet and gave him a hit ("Don't Look Back"), and the Stones released his music (the album Wanted Dread & Alive) and took him on their stadium tour, introducing him to new audiences. But it wasn't enough for Tosh. "He accuses them of not promoting him properly!" says Masouri. "I think they were intimidated by him, although they would never admit to that. But he was too much for them and for many other people as well."
As Tosh sang: "I'm like a steppin' razor, don't you watch my size, I'm dangerous!"
One of Tosh's anthems is titled "I'm the Toughest". He was so physically fit that when he performed a karate move he could look like he was doing the splits in mid-air. He was also a linguistic gymnast who developed a fiery language all of his own, switching the structure of words to give them new significance.
Tosh was the 'Herbalist Verbalist', in the phrase of the American reggae writer Roger Steffens. "He would rip the language apart to reveal its true meaning. 'Be careful of your friends,' he would say, 'they will fry you in the end'. And his manager was his 'damager' and a judge was a 'grudge'. As for politicians, he talked of a 'Crime Minister' who 'shits' in the 'House of Represent-a-t'iefs'."
A son of British colonial Jamaica, Tosh was even more disrespectful of the monarch, declaring: "Queen 'Ere Lies a Bitch".
But Tosh was very serious about his politics. He was a strident campaigner against apartheid and refused invitations to perform in South Africa (playing instead in neighbouring Swaziland). As early as 1979 he was refusing to perform in Israel because of his support for a Palestinian homeland.
The same year – because of his espousal of the anti-nuclear cause – he was given another great promotional opportunity when booked to appear alongside Bruce Springsteen at Madison Square Garden as part of a series of giant anti-nuclear protest concerts. Tosh was advertised to appear in the accompanying film and on the triple LP box set.
"Peter was in pole position," says Masouri. "He walked on stage smoking his ganja spliff and wearing Palestinian dress – it was Jewish New Year and he was in New York. He really did have balls – but he never appeared on the film or on the album."
Nonetheless, in 1987, months before his murder, he made his own album, No Nuclear War. Posthumously, it won him a Grammy.
"A lot of the stuff he sung about, he believed it," says Michael Barnett, a lecturer at the University of the West Indies who has organised a number of symposiums on the anniversary of Tosh's birthday to recognise the significance of his career. "It was not just a superficial thing for him. He put his life on the line for all those concepts and ideas."
The great Jamaican music producer Bunny Lee knew Tosh well during his career and says the artist's themes have contemporary relevance. "Young people should think of Peter Tosh as a great revolutionary in music – and as a person. He believed in truth and rights. His words were, 'Everyone is crying out for peace, no one is crying out for justice' ... He was not afraid to speak his mind right up until it cost him his life."
Initially backed by his band Word, Sound and Power, which featured drummer Sly Dunbar and bass player Robbie Shakespeare (who together comprise reggae's finest rhythm section), Tosh made seven solo albums, including the pro-marijuana Legalize It (made for Richard Branson's Virgin label) and the militant Equal Rights, featuring the anthem "Get Up, Stand Up", which he had created with Marley before the split of The Wailers.
The 1974 breakaway by Bob from Peter and Bunny Wailer – who began working together as a vocal harmony group in 1963 – was a source of acrimony for the remaining two (who had refused to go on tour). "You have the situation where Bob Marley calls his backing band The Wailers," says Masouri. "It was an outrageous thing to do – as if Mick Jagger had formed a new band, Mick Jagger and the Rolling Stones. Peter and Bunny both blamed Bob because he agreed to it. To them, Bob betrayed them."
After Marley died in 1981, Tosh appeared to resent the shadow his great friend cast over the future of Jamaican music. He even rejected the idea that, after Marley's death, he was the "new King of Reggae", telling Steffens that there was "nothing new" about him. During the remaining six years of his life, he would never really sit on that throne.
Masouri says that in Tosh's latter years many white music journalists seemed intent on baiting him – even suggesting he was not black enough because this former harmony singer dared to record the occasional ballad. He was mocked for his observations – often attributed to his copious use of marijuana – and the British music paper Melody Maker even dubbed him 'Fruitcake of the Year'.

IPID to investigate Mmametlhake school shootingMarch 8, 2019
Zondo Commission hears of Optimum Coal Mine contractMarch 8, 2019
By Thabiso Machaka
Some residents in Polokwane have rejected the 9.41% electricity tariff increase at the power utility saying it will overburden the poor.
On Thursday, the National Energy Regulator of South Africa granted Eskom with a 9.41% increase for 2019/2020 and 8.1% for 2020/21 followed by 5.2% the following year.
Capricorn FM News engaged with some of residents from the surrounding areas in Polokwane who reacted to the tariff increase.
Johnson Pabane from Moletjie outside Seshego said it would be easier if food and petrol prices decreased.
Rachael Mphahlele from Seshego said electricity is already costly, therefore the increase will only overburden them.

The mono-brand stores of the American company Apple of the Russian chain re:Store, operated by Inventive Retail Group, were closed on Wednesday. Izvestia correspondents were convinced of this when they visited several retail outlets in the center of Moscow on March 2.
It is also impossible to order gadgets on the re:Store website.
The representative of the retailer promised to comment on the situation later.
iPhone smartphones are still on sale from mobile operators and on marketplace sites.
The day before, Apple announced that it had suspended sales of its products in Russia. The company closed the possibility of buying goods on its official website in Russia. All items in the “Shipping” column indicate “currently unavailable”.
The company also disabled incident reports on Apple cards in Ukraine “for security reasons and precautions for Ukrainian citizens.”
Against the background of the Russian operation to protect the Donbass, Moscow faced sanctions from Western countries.
The situation in Donbass escalated on February 17. The DPR and LPR reported heavy shelling by Ukrainian security forces, including from heavy weapons. The republics announced a general mobilization and evacuation of civilians to the territory of Russia.
On February 21, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed decrees recognizing the independence of the DPR and LPR, as well as agreements on friendship, cooperation and mutual assistance with the republics. The documents were ratified the next day.
On February 24, Russia launched an operation to protect the population of Donbass. After that, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky accused Russia of hitting the country’s military infrastructure and introduced martial law. He also severed diplomatic relations with the Russian Federation.
For more up-to-date videos and details about the situation in Donbass, watch the Izvestia TV channel.

’s highly-anticipated Rhineback, NY wedding went down this weekend. But she wasn’t the only public figure who said I Do. The last weekend in July, 2010 was chockfull of celebrity vows.
Those speculating on Chelsea Clinton’s wedding to Marc Mezvinsky were right about one thing- the bride’s designer of choice
. Chelsea donned not one, but two, Vera Wangwedding dresses
. For the ceremony, she dazzled in a strapless
, ballgown laser cut silk organza creation, complete with an embellished belt
. And for the reception, Chelsea changed into a silk tulle Grecian-inspired gown with a skinny grosgrain black belt. Vera Wang also designed the bridesmaids’ dresses
, and the Groom chose a classic Burberry tux
What other celebs tied the knot this weekend?
R&B songbird Alicia Keys
is officially off the market, wedding artist/producer Swizz Beatz
in Corsica, France this weekend. The vows went down beside the picturesque Mediterranean Sea, and the star-studded guest list included heavy hitters like Bono and Queen Latifa. Just like Chelsea Clinton, Alicia Keys had Vera fever, donning an ivory
silk, georgette-draped wedding dress. The flowy silhouette camouflaged and flattered Keys’ 5-month pregnant baby bump. Swizz Beatz wore all-white just like his blushing bride, a white tux designed by Tom Ford.
James Van Der Beek
, who said I Don’t to his first wife back in March (when they officially divorced), said I Do to girlfriend Kimberly Brook (who’s pregnant with their child) this weekend. And in true celeb style, he used Twitter
to announce the happy news. Swizz Beatz also took to Twitter to share his emotions after making Alicia Keys his lawfully wedded wife.

Understanding the Importance of Vaccinations for Dogs
Vaccinations play a crucial role in keeping our canine companions healthy and protected against various diseases. These preventive measures stimulate the immune system, enabling dogs to fight off potential infections more effectively. By ensuring that dogs receive their shots, we can significantly reduce the risk of illness and potentially fatal diseases. Understanding the importance of vaccinations is essential for every responsible dog owner.
Factors Determining the Duration between Shots for Dogs
Several factors influence the duration between shots for dogs. These include the age and health status of the dog, the specific vaccine, and the prevalence of diseases in the dog’s environment. While some vaccines provide long-lasting immunity, others may require more frequent booster shots. The recommendations of veterinary professionals, as well as the manufacturer’s guidelines, should be followed to determine the appropriate duration between shots for each vaccine.
The Recommended Frequency for Canine Vaccinations
The recommended frequency for canine vaccinations varies depending on the specific disease and vaccine. Core vaccines, such as rabies, distemper, parvovirus, and adenovirus, are typically given annually or every three years, depending on local regulations and the vaccine used. Non-core vaccines, which protect against diseases like kennel cough or Lyme disease, may be given annually or less frequently, depending on the dog’s risk factors and lifestyle.
Vaccination Schedule: Puppies vs. Adult Dogs
Puppies require a series of vaccinations to build their immune system, as their maternal antibodies fade over time. The initial vaccination series usually begins at around six to eight weeks of age, followed by boosters every three to four weeks until they are around 16 weeks old. Adult dogs typically receive a series of initial vaccinations and then move to a schedule of boosters every one to three years, depending on the vaccines required and the dog’s specific needs.
How Long Can Dogs Go Without Receiving Shots?
The duration that dogs can go without receiving shots varies depending on the vaccine and the individual dog’s immunity. Core vaccines generally provide immunity for at least one year, and some may offer protection for several years or even a lifetime. Non-core vaccines may have more variable durations of immunity. It is essential to consult with a veterinarian to determine the appropriate duration between shots for each vaccine and individual dog.
Risks and Consequences of Delaying Dog Vaccinations
Delaying dog vaccinations can have severe consequences. Dogs left unvaccinated are at a higher risk of contracting and spreading infectious diseases. Diseases such as rabies, parvovirus, and distemper can be deadly, and the consequences of infection can be both emotionally and financially devastating for dog owners. Additionally, some boarding facilities, grooming salons, and training programs may require proof of up-to-date vaccinations before accepting dogs.
Signs that Your Dog May Need Vaccinations
There are several signs that may indicate your dog is due for vaccinations. These include a lapse in their vaccination schedule, a change in living environment or exposure to new dogs, or if they are showing signs of illness. Signs of illness can include lethargy, decreased appetite, coughing, sneezing, vomiting, diarrhea, or any other abnormal behavior. If any of these signs are observed, it is crucial to consult with a veterinarian to determine if vaccinations are necessary.
Vaccination Exemptions for Certain Dogs
Certain dogs may be exempted from receiving certain vaccines due to health concerns or other factors determined by a veterinarian. For example, dogs with a compromised immune system or those undergoing specific medical treatments may need to avoid certain vaccines. Additionally, some local regulations may offer exemptions for older dogs or those with documented adverse reactions to certain vaccines. It is important to work closely with a veterinarian to determine the best course of action for exempted dogs.
The Role of Titer Testing in Determining Vaccination Durations
Titer testing is a blood test that measures the level of antibodies in a dog’s blood. This test can determine if a dog still has sufficient immunity to a particular disease and whether a booster shot is necessary. Titer testing can help determine the appropriate duration between shots for individual dogs, as it provides a more accurate indication of their immunity levels. Consulting with a veterinarian is crucial to understand the benefits and limitations of titer testing and how it can be used in your dog’s vaccination schedule.
Consulting Your Veterinarian for Vaccination Advice
When it comes to vaccinations, consulting with a veterinarian is vital. Veterinarians are trained professionals who can provide the most up-to-date and accurate information regarding vaccinations for dogs. They can assess the individual needs of your dog, taking into account their age, health status, lifestyle, and local disease prevalence. Veterinarians can develop a personalized vaccination schedule tailored to your dog’s specific requirements, ensuring they receive the necessary protection without over-vaccination.
Balancing the Benefits and Risks of Vaccinations
It is essential to strike a balance between the benefits and risks of vaccinations for dogs. While vaccines are crucial for disease prevention, there can be rare instances of adverse reactions. However, the benefits of vaccination significantly outweigh the risks. Vaccinations have saved countless canine lives and have been instrumental in eradicating or controlling many dangerous diseases. By working closely with your veterinarian, you can make informed decisions to protect your dog’s health while minimizing potential risks.
Ensuring the Health and Well-being of Your Canine Companion
Ensuring the health and well-being of your canine companion goes beyond providing food, shelter, and exercise. Vaccinations are a crucial part of responsible dog ownership. By following the recommended vaccination schedule, you can protect your dog from potentially life-threatening diseases and provide them with a long and healthy life. Regular check-ups with a veterinarian, adherence to vaccination schedules, and staying informed about new developments in veterinary medicine are all essential steps in keeping your beloved dog healthy and protected.

As an additional precautionary measure, Latvia has temporarily suspended vaccination with the AstraZeneca vaccine
Last update 18.03.2021
As a precautionary measure, on 15 March, the Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (CDC), the National Immunisation Council (IVP), the State Agency of Medicines (ZVA), and the Health Inspectorate (VI) have recommended a suspension of vaccination against Covid-19 with the AstraZeneca vaccine in Latvia for up to two weeks. The decision is based on reports from individual European Union countries of thromboembolic and similar event cases observed at various times after receiving the vaccine.
However, it is also emphasised that to date there is no data on a causal link between vaccination and serious health problems. The decision to suspend vaccination with the AstraZeneca vaccine has only been taken as a precautionary measure until a causal assessment of the reported cases will have been received.
To date, no report has been approved in Latvia in which the indicated health disorders are similar to those reported in other European Union countries in connection with the thromboembolic signal, which is currently being reviewed by the Pharmacovigilance Risk Assessment Committee (PRAC) of the European Medicines Agency. Information on received Covid-19 vaccine side-effect reports is regularly published on the website of the State Agency of Medicines.
The Latvian authorities will provide further information on the outcome of the evaluation.


I don't agree, but so be it.
But now, there's a new movement, to protect the right to carry knives. No, I am not joking. You can check it out for yourself here. The "knife rights" folks are upset about new Customs regulations. Their website says:
"As you are aware, Customs is proposing to prohibit the import of assisted and one-hand opening pocket knives and in the process has so broadly re-defined what a Switchblade is under the Federal Switchblade Act, that it could cover almost all pocket knives, with potential far-reaching consequences to every knife owner. Our best bet to stop Customs in the short term is for Congress to prevent them from spending a dime to implement their proposed ruling. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Appropriations Bill will be taken up by the Senate starting on Tuesday, July 7th. We need your help NOW to rally support for an amendment to stop funding for this Customs rulemaking."
You can also get pro-knife T-shirts and other sharp stuff.
I think the right-to-knife movement has a lot going for it. They could have their own official song:
And their own official play, too.
I guess there's no limit to what shameless fundraisers will do to con cash out of terrified conservative Americans. I'm sure President Obama and Vice President Biden are rubbing their palms this minute, dreaming of the day when they have banned knives in this wonderful country of ours.
Hooray for free speech and the right-to-knife.


Confession: I’m not impressed by a single 3-D printed thing I see. Turtle eggs. Child prosthetics*. It’s evil of me, I know. But 3-D printing is just too easy, right? Even the most intricate design–something that took hundreds of hours of modeling and iteration–is still crafted by a robot.
It’s a demonstration of the “lost wax” method of casting a bronze statue, which involves casting an imprint of an object (which could even be a bronze statue), filling that imprint with liquid wax, cleaning the hardened wax figurine with a fine pick, re-casting the wax with bronze nails jammed in, melting the wax away from the mold, and then filling the remaining crevasse with molten bronze.
It’s so much strange and seemingly indirect work that, when you see the final, gleaming product come out of the cast, the result feels impossible and inevitable at the same time. The resulting bronze bust is a perfect figure that will last forever, and it was made entirely by hand.
Not that your 3-D printed pizza doesn’t look totes delicioso.
*Okay, okay, the 3-D printed prosthetics can be tear-jerkers, too.

We will try our best to make sure you see the same coaches each week for your classes, because we think it is important for us to get to know you and your puppy. The coaches work in teams of three, so you should get to know all the team members over your course. Occasionally there may be a change in one coach because of sickness or holidays, but if this is necessary, we will try to ensure that you are introduced to your new coach the week before the change so that they are familiar with you and your dog.
A small handful of companies selling products in this category work with charities and organisations to support the health and welfare of dogs in society. Train Pet Dog was developed by the Dog Training Institute. They work to develop innovative, cutting edge dog training methods from around the world that can be passed on to customers in the form of the dog training course. They are also proud supporters of The Human Society of the United States, the ASPCA, the IPDTA (The International Positive Dog Training Association) and NICE, the National Institute of Canine Experts. The Dog Training Institute actively campaigns against all forms of animal cruelty everywhere, as well as that against dogs.
TrainPet Dog is a highly commercial and successful top-selling product and was created by dog owner Nancy Richards. She draws on the expertise of several experts in dog behavior and veterinary health who have appeared on radio and TV shows such as Marty Becker's "Top Vets Talk Pets" and trained dogs for NBA and NFL superstars, billionaire entrepreneurs and famous singers. Train Pet Dog has 52,000 members worldwide and claims to work within 17 days with non contact methods and techniques. This course is for those who are thinking of getting a dog as well as people who already have dogs with behavioral problems. Train Pet Dog's unique selling points are as follows:
I'm on disability, I ordered the course and also paid for monthly membership thing. Thought it was my phone, that it wouldn't bring up any of the sites I received. After $150 plus $37 elite members fee,still no access to anything. I tried to let them know I coudn't bring stuff up.Fraudulent charges on card,so card is temporally frozen. Then I get text monthly payment not going thru,called and they were supposed to return my call. GOT CANCLED, (Ok by me I guess after seeing the other reviews)won't get my money back, but no more charges either!!!! I did receive the paper back book though,verry expensive paper back at that price! Any way hope others have better luck, me im an IDIOT, and in dept for something I believed could help. Good thing for other reviews, I will cancel frozen card and get new one so no more fraudulent charges can be made,it won't exist anymore. As to that a big THANKS, good luck to anyone else and as for the company , carma sucks.
Certain breeds, such as Doberman Pinschers, German Shepherds, Border Collies, Labrador Retrievers and Golden Retrievers, have reputations as being easier to train than others, such as some hounds and sled dogs. Dogs that have been bred to perform one task to the exclusion of all others (such as the Bloodhound or Husky), or that have been bred to work independently from their handler (such as terriers), may be particularly challenging with obedience training.
Clicker training, a common form of positive reinforcement, is a simple and effective dog training method. Although it is still fine to train your dog without clicker training, many people find it helpful. With clicker training, you can easily and effectively teach your dog all kinds of basic and advanced commands and tricks. It's fast and easy to learn how to clicker train your dog

OPTION PRICING FOR GARCH MODELS WITH MARKOV SWITCHING
ROBERT J. ELLIOTT
TAK KUEN SIU
In this paper we develop a method for pricing derivatives under a Markov switching version of the Heston-Nandi GARCH (1, 1) model by using a well known tool from actuarial science, namely the Esscher transform. We suppose that the dynamics of the GARCH process switch over time according to one of the regimes described by the states of an observable Markov chain process. By augmenting the conditional Esscher transform with the observable Markov switching process, a Markov switching conditional Esscher transform (MSCET) is developed to identify a martingale measure for option valuation in the incomplete market described by our model. We provide an alternative approach for the derivation of an analytical option valuation formula under the Markov switching Heston-Nandi GARCH (1, 1) model. The use of the MSCET can be justified by considering a utility maximization problem with respect to a power utility function associated with the Markov switching risk-averse parameters.

As we’ve seen over the past decade with the latest flagship smartphones, entry-level and midrange devices are also subject to regular upgrades year-on-year. Although their release schedule isn’t as well-timed, the units receive key improvements, often technologies that have become more affordable since they launched as first-time features on flagships. Samsung has a range of such smartphones within its stables, offering great value and capabilities across its A-Series range of smartphones. Having been released earlier in 2023, we look at the entry-level Samsung Galaxy A24.
RELATED: Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus Review – Optimised Not Upgraded
Build and Design
Being an entry-level smartphone, I was taken aback by its size upon unboxing. More often than not, budget smartphones have much more petite frames. However, with its larger screen, the Samsung Galaxy A24 is large, measuring 162.1×77.6×8.3mm. As a result, it’s also on the heavier side, weighing 195g.
However, the large size has its merits, with its 6.5” screen. The panel is a Super AMOLED with a 90Hz refresh rate and a brightness of 1,000 nits. Additionally, it has a 1,080×2,340px resolution display, which has a 396ppi pixel density. Furthermore, it has an 82.4% screen-to-body ratio. While it lacks HDR support, the specifications are similar to the Galaxy S23 Plus, which is quite impressive.
What’s excellent with the A24 is that it offers classic features such as the 3.5mm auxiliary jack for those still using wired headphones or their car’s audio system. Even with more people using Bluetooth of late, it’s still a welcome inclusion to have the option available. It also sports a tri-card slot, which allows for two nanoSIM cards and a microSD card.
If one feature is missing, it is its protective casing. Unlike the S23 range with its Gorilla Glass protection, the A24 doesn’t offer much protection. I would like to say it’s one of those features you can live without, but screen protection is essential, even if you have a case. This means you’ll need to double down and purchase a screen protector.
Overall, the design is quite impressive, especially its screen.
RELATED: The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 Has Finally Fixed The Screen Creasing Problem
Performance and Battery Life
The Samsung Galaxy A24 features a MediaTek MT8781 Helio G99 (6nm) SoC with an Octa-core (x2 2.2GHz Cortex-A76 and six 2.0GHz Cortex-A55) CPU. It also features a Mali-G57 MC2 GPU along with 128GB internal storage and a range of 4GB, 6Gb and 8GB RAM options, however, if you’re going to be multitasking quite often.
What’s great is that it offers the latest firmware version with Android OS 13 and One UI 5.1. You get all the standard software features as with the other flagship smartphones.
Its 5,000mAh battery has an incredible capacity to power you through almost two full days of normal usage. Its less powerful CPU means you won’t use as much battery, eking out several more hours. If you also set the screen resolution down, you’ll have a smartphone capable of almost three days, which is even more impressive.
It supports 25W recharging, which is decent for an entry-level smartphone. This means you’ll have about 25% recharge in 15 minutes and roughly 50% in half an hour. As with other modern smartphones, the A24 also doesn’t ship with a charger in the contents, only the USB Type-C cable.
One lacking aspect is the 5G support. While it may not be as widespread outside of metropoles, or even certain mobile networks, it would be great to have it as future-proof.
RELATED: 5th Generation Samsung Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip Launch in South Africa
Overall, the Galaxy A24 delivers decent performance capabilities without breaking the bank. It delivers on what it sets out to do while offering a great visual display without issues while streaming or playing games. With a rundown battery test lasting about a day, you can go without your charger for much longer.
The Samsung Galaxy A24 is a great little smartphone. Although, it’s not so little with its 6.5” screen. The A24 can easily be compared to the Galaxy S23 Plus, if not for its less powerful but more affordable CPU. While there is a noticeable difference in the crispness of operation, it’s still a great buy at just R4,499. It’s a feature-rich option for users on a budget who are still looking for a fantastic visual display.
Samsung Galaxy A24
- 6.5", 90Hz Super AMOLED screen
- Similar design to the flagship Galaxy range
- Great battery life
- 3.5mm auxiliary jack
- Surprisingly no 5G
- Camera is a hit and miss
- No Gorilla Glass

Where are license plates made in California?
Folsom State PrisonSince 1947, inmates at Folsom State Prison have manufactured California’s license plates for the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).
Originally, the factory was located in a surplus airplane hanger near the original granite quarry..
What does California black plate mean?
A black plate on the car AND on the title signifies that the car has been in California continuously since that plate was issued, which would be 1969 at the latest, ZZZ 999 being the last plate issued. Contrary to popular belief, a black plate can NOT be LEGALLY applied to a car that it was not originally issued to. (
Why do California license plates start with 7?
California license plates are special – unlike the many states that use 6 characters, (three letters three numbers), California uses 7 – in the format of 1ABC234. The first number is like a generation of cars. … New plates are issued when the used car is sold).
Why do Teslas not have front license plates?
Starting in 2019, California will require temporary plates on all new cars. … Many others think the front licence plate disfigures the car, so they risk getting a ticket and leave the front plate off. This happens in every state that requires a front plate. This is why you have seen Teslas with no front plate.
Does California use the letter O on license plates?
California uses the letters I, O, and Q in the second alpha position, but not in the first or third. The 2-digit sticker has the license plate number printed as the serial number. …
Can I get black plates at AAA?

Where are Wisconsin license plates made?
Waupun Correctional InstitutionPersonalized plates in Wisconsin allow up to seven characters. About 3.5 million vehicles in Wisconsin use the standard plates. Those plates and the other plate designs are made by Badger State Industries, the state prison system’s work enterprise. Plates are made at Waupun Correctional Institution.
Why are California license plates plain?
CAL plates are plain because the state makes the largest number of plates in the USA- and more than most countries- so these need to be as inexpensive and easy to make as possible.
Can I keep my California license plate?
California license plates are issued to vehicles and not individuals and they are usually transferred to the new owner if the vehicle is sold. In some cases, the owner may wish to retain his license plates. He or she will be required to visit one of the DMV offices and submit a written application for this to occur.
What is the fine for no front license plate in California?
California Vehicle Code (CVC) § 5200 A License Plate Display Failure ticket will cost you $196 and Up in fines plus $1,000+ in insurance hikes and penalties.

Two new programs with New Yorker staff writer George Packer explore the association between American politics and identity. “Americans, aided by cable news and social media, have sorted themselves geographically and mentally into mutually hostile and incomprehensible worlds,” says Packer. This tribalism makes it very difficult for people to communicate or to truly listen to one another.
“None of those groups speaks to the whole country… they don’t speak to us as citizens, and they don’t find a way of being truly inclusive,” he says. “Where we cannot understand each other, we see each other as illegitimate in some ways. To even speak to someone from a different tribe is to give them a legitimacy they don’t deserve. And each tribe hopes and thinks the other will somehow disappear, either by being beaten in the polls, or by dying off, or being walled off. It’s as if they can’t acknowledge that the country is made up of more than their own tribe.”
There are many reasons for this increased tribalism, but the collapse of the institutions that have traditionally supported people economically is a contributing factor. In recent decades, fewer and fewer corporations offer job security or competitive wages, and the middle class is disappearing. “The simple answer I think,” says Packer, “is that a smaller pie, divided into less and less equal slices among people who look less and less alike, drives them towards cynical and hateful extremes.”
Watch Harry Kreisler’s interview with George Packer, Identity Politics and the Decline of American Institutions, as well as Packer’s UC Berkeley Graduate Lecture, American Identity in the Age of Trump.
Conversations with History host Harry Kreisler welcomes Professor Arlie Hochschild, 2017 Moses Lecturer at Berkeley for a discussion of her book Strangers in Their Own Land: Anger and Mourning on the American Right which strives to bridge the gap of understanding between liberals and conservatives.
In 2011, Hochschild noticed a resurgence of the American right and decided to study it further in Louisiana. “I felt I was in a bubble here in Berkeley and wanted to learn more about the equal and opposite bubble.” Her goal was simple: to learn more about the conservative perspective through empathetic listening. “When listening to people who have strong opinions that differ from yours,” she explains, “it’s important to temporarily turn off your alarm system and be honest about it.”
But that’s not always easy. Hochschild advices that “when working with people to try to understand them, as sociologists do, it’s important to first create and feel comfortable within your own support system, to find your cocoon. Then, with that support, it won’t be so frightening to reach out.”
The influences that shaped her journey as a sociologist began as a child traveling extensively with her family. Because of her father’s work in the foreign service, Hochschild lived in foreign countries, not wearing the “right clothes” or speaking the language. In essence, she was the outsider… the “oddball.” Says Hochschild, “I think it’s why I’m a sociologist – I had to figure it out.” At social gatherings, she was “the little kid passing the peanuts, watching how people were interacting, people from different worlds and how they were relating to each other, the different signal systems.”
Learn more about Arlie Hochschild’s pioneering work on the sociology of emotions. Watch Strangers in Their Own Land: Anger and Mourning on the American Right.
This is one of those rare political discussions where two people with different points of view actually listen and learn from each other as each describes their interpretation of why the majority of working-class voters sided with Donald Trump in the last election. Sociologist Arlie Hochschild and political scientist Steven Hayward discuss the causes for the ongoing cultural divide and offer glimmers of hope as they highlight examples of where people of opposite views have found common ground.

Imagine a not-too-distant future where gasoline-powered engines disappear and we all travel in electric, driverless cars that don’t pollute the air. And, a future where the actual number of cars on the road decreases because we’ll all participate in a transportation sharing service rather than owning our own vehicles. That’s the vision presented by former Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm in this energetic talk to the Goldman School of Public Policy as she describes its financial and environmental advantages but also outlines the new policy challenges. Among them, how to retrain professional drivers? What to do with empty parking lots? And how to replace the tax revenue generated by gas sales? Granholm’s eye-opening peek into the next decade will give you lots to think about next time you’re stuck in traffic.

With 2023 weeks away and new calendar season upon us, I wanted to share a couple stand recommendations for your 2023 desk calendars. I designed each of these calendars with whimsical watercolors painted throughout the last year and ended up creating several styles in both wall and desk format. The wall style can be hung on the wall, but the desk looks best on a stand---
- Clear Acrylic Easels (2 pack)
I hope these calendars bring you sunshine in 2023.
Thanks for your support and happy almost new year!

Daniel Kickert and Aleks Maric have been recalled into the Australian men's basketball team for the final Olympic selection camp before Rio.
NBL forward Kickert, who has signed with the Brisbane Bullets for next season, and new Sydney Kings centre recruit Maric have been added to the squad in the absence of NBA stars Dante Exum and Andrew Bogut.
Exum ruled himself out last month to concentrate on his recovery from a torn ACL ahead of the new NBA season.
Bogut remains in doubt as he begins rehabilitation on a knee injury suffered during Golden State's playoff series.
Kickert was part of the Boomers team at the 2006 world championships, while Maric competed at the 2010 world championships and London Olympics.
"Both are quality players and quality people who will each bring a different set of skills for the coaching staff to consider in terms of the overall mix of the team," coach Andrej Lemanis said.
"Being in a position to bring in players of their quality at this point is another illustration of the depth of talent we currently have in this country."
The Boomers will gather in Melbourne from July 5 for a week of training, before playing two games at Hisense Arena against an all-star US college team.
Lemanis will name his final team for Rio on July 11.
"The camp and games at Hisense Arena form a critical part of our preparation for Rio," said Lemanis.
"We will continue to build on our offensive and defensive structures from previous years. We will also invest a lot of time off the court ensuring that, as a team, we put ourselves in the best position to deal with the challenges that lay ahead."

The updated ribbon will also include new animations, icons, and a few small color changes.
The changes are based on a "Three Cs" - customers, context and control - principle, created to focus on the features people use most and making it easier to access them.More news: 'Anthony Martial wants to leave Manchester United'
While Microsoft knows that it's walking a fine line between streamlining things and upsetting users who prefer the traditional ribbon, this doesn't really need to be a point of anxiety for Office 365 users.
This new design is being rolled out gradually, with the new interface coming today for Word users on Office.com Later this month, a test group of Office Insiders will will see them in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint for Windows. The updated ribbon offers a cleaner, simpler design, it's also more customizable, allowing people to choose their most-used features. It also comes with a word translator, improved inking functionality, customisable Office ribbons, and overall accessibility improvements. Microsoft notes that it has no plans to remove the full interface in the future from Office 365. And almost two months later, the company is back with another important announcement about the Office 2019.More news: Super Eagles Arrive In Russia Ahead Of FIFA World Cup

Microsoft is also making Search more powerful by adding artificial intelligence to the backend. That's kicking off in August for Outlook users - all of them regardless of which version.
According to Jared Spataro, Corporate Vice President for Office and Windows Marketing, search "will become a much more important element of the user experience, providing access to commands, content, and people". It's launching a new feature it calls "zero query search", which surfaces AI-powered recommendations as soon as you place your cursor in the search box. This feature is already available to commercial customers using Office.com, SharePoint Online, and the Outlook app, with a launch in Outlook for web scheduled for August.More news: FG declares Friday, Monday public holidays

|It's been a while, but I finished another map after taking a break (not sure I'll keep spitting them out as of now). Good ol mirror type.|
I was inspired by trcc's Satellite VII to make this map - as you can probably see the similarities.
|I like it, it reminds me of Dark Age of Camelot (MMORPG) because of the lake ^^|
i especially like the small path leading towards the back of the min-only minerals.
|I like the balancing.|
But I've never been a fan of enlarged bridges or ramps.
Original Staredit doodads are the way to go IMO.
|Fix the obs version please...|
|What's wrong with it T.t|
|There are no f***ing startlocations for the observers....|
|random map, this is a pretty nice map.|
|God damn it Nightmar, do you really have to bump a 30 year old map just to say 'it looks kinda nice'.|
|well it does look kinda nice|
|yes templar, I like showing people great maps of bwm's past that they would otherwise not ever see. I think this is the point of the random map thing...|

HYDERABAD: Bharat Biotech
’s US partner Ocugen Inc has entered into a partnership with Jubilant HollisterStier LLC, a step-down subsidiary of Jubilant Pharmova, for the manufacture of indigenously developed Covid-19 vaccine Covaxin
for the United States and Canadian markets, Jubilant Pharmova said in a regulatory filing.
The announcement comes less than a week after Ocugen informed bourses in the US that it had dropped plans to seek an emergency use approval (EUA) from US Food & Drug Administration based on the regulator’s recommendation and would be taking the BLA (biologics licence application) route to bring Covaxin to the US market. Ocugen had also said it would be filing an EUA with Health Canada
for taking Covaxin to Canada.
Ocugen’s senior vice president of manufacturing and supply chain, JP Gabriel, said in a statement that Ocugen was fully committed to bringing Covaxin to the US and Canadian markets because it has the potential to save lives by adding a weapon to the arsenal.
“Securing US-based manufacturing capability is a critical step as we prepare to submit our regulatory submissions to the FDA and Health Canada. Based on Bharat Biotech
’s strong track record of developing and commercializing vaccines globally and Jubilant’s proven track record in manufacturing,” Gabriel added.
Ltd CEO Pramod Yadav said: “With two facilities in North America working to manufacture multiple Covid-19 vaccines and therapies, we remain committed to supporting efforts to eradicate this global pandemic.”

- If you want to go somewhere, it is best to find someone who has already been there. Robert Kiyosaki
LAYING claim to being the second-sunniest city in the United States (only Yuma, Ariz., is sunnier), Redding, Calif., is hot, friendly and busy. Two hours north of Sacramento, Redding was once considered just another Podunk, notable for its highway sprawl and a sea of outlet malls. But in the last seven years the city, which has 87,000 residents, has remade itself and is becoming a destination. Redding is now home to an ultramodern $23 million bridge designed by the Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava — the Sundial, which spans the Sacramento River — and offers a 300-acre natural history park. There are also walking, cycling and hiking trails with stunning views that rival better-known spots in Northern California.
Don't Fight City Hall
No matter where you start your journey, try to arrive before the close of business on Friday so you can take in what can best be described as a free art museum in the new City Hall. Thanks to the recently retired city manager, Mike Warren, who started Redding's "Art in Public Places" initiative, City Hall lines some hallway walls on all three floors with pieces by local artists and from traveling exhibitions. Included in the "American Spirit" exhibition currently on display are works by Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein. But most surprising is a striking 1939 black-and-white photograph of three boys at a fair taken by Eudora Welty, who was a photographer before gaining fame as a writer.
Of Time and the River
You have to visit the Sundial Bridge, which has put Redding on the architectural tourist map since it opened in 2004. Designed by Santiago Calatrava, the bridge crosses the Sacramento River and is also a working sundial. It is covered by some 1.3 million pieces of broken Spanish tile. With parents pushing strollers, couples walking hand in hand and tourists snapping photographs, this pedestrian and bicycle bridge has created a sort of town square in Redding — a place where people meet, visit, walk and enjoy the river and the views of the Cascade Mountains to the north and the Trinity Mountains to the west.
You're likely to rub shoulders with the most fashionable locals at the city's newest and nicest restaurant, the Maritime Seafood & Grill. The white walls, white tablecloths and white-clad waiters are reminiscent of Spain, but the food is French-style California cuisine. The specialties of the Korean-born and San Francisco-trained owner and chef, Morgan Song, include an asparagus appetizer ($8.50) and a Muscovy duck pâté served on crusty herbed bread ($7.50). The orange roughy on cream of spinach with an accent of butternut squash piled with wasabi caviar ($20.50) wasn't local (it arrived that morning from Australia) but was still deliciously fresh. The chocolate fondant cake ($7.50) served with enormous antennae of edible sugar, like from some sweet alien life form, may lure you back to Redding sooner than you plan.
Local Beer, Local Music
After dinner walk down to Billy Bombay's to mingle with a mixed and not-too-crazy mostly older crowd. "We get everyone from 21 to 91 in here," said the owner, Leonard Crump. Try a Lost Coast beer, brewed in Eureka, just three hours away; Lost Coast's citrusy Great White is the bouncer's favorite. Catch some live music by local and regional acts. If you're feeling feistier (or lucky), drive six miles south on Route 273 to the Win-River Casino (2100 Redding Rancheria Road, 530-243-3377) to play the slots or whoop it up at the martini bar that opens onto the casino.
Call of the Wild
Fuel up on a huge breakfast at Country Kitchen before heading to Redding Sports Ltd. (950 Hilltop Drive, 530-221-7333) to rent mountain bikes ($8 an hour, $25 for 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., $35 for 24 hours; make sure to ask for a helmet). An access point to the Sacramento Trail system is right up the street, and the 12-mile loop will take you past a fish hatchery, Caldwell Park and the rushing river. Don't be surprised if you see a skinny-dipper in the Sacramento, or startle a deer on the trail — or vice versa.
