Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 10:24:00 GMT
By Andrew Sheeler | Sacramento BeeBeginning Monday, California employers will be barred from discriminating against employees who use marijuana in their off hours.Assembly Bill 2188 requires employers to change how they test for marijuana use among employees, using tests that show current impairment and not just past usage. The law carves out some exceptions, such as for those who work in the construction trades.“Technology to test for marijuana impairment has actually advanced quite a bit, so basically employers can now just test for THC the psychoactive component in cannabis and that can show impairment,” said Los Angeles-based attorney Bernard Alexander in a statement. “Most of the older tests detect the non-psychoactive metabolites, which can stay in a person’s system for weeks. So, a worker can test positive when they’re not high or impaired at all.”California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed AB 2188 into law in September 2022, but a provision of the...Share the Spirit: Berkeley organization provides community for people with disabilities

Jorge Macias is rarely in one place for long, with the 24-year-old wheelchair user an active and upbeat presence among the many BORP Adaptive Sports and Recreation program activities.Whether it is rock climbing, wheelchair basketball or any of the program’s other activities around Berkeley, Macias specializes in making newcomers with various disabilities feel welcome.“It’s amazing to see the way people grow and expand from these programs,” Macias said. “I’ve gotten to meet some of the shyest people, and they’ve grown to be very confident, strong people.”BORP, an East Bay organization that has helped people with disabilities stay active through activities and sports for nearly a half-century, has served 1,057 people over the past year. The equipment needed to make this possible is often expensive. A wheelchair suitable for basketball, for example, can cost thousands of dollars.

(CNN) — Los rebeldes hutíes de Yemen, respaldados por Irán, están intensificando sus ataques contra barcos en el mar Rojo, que, según dicen, son una venganza contra Israel por su campaña militar en Gaza.Los ataques han obligado a algunas de las compañías navieras y petroleras más grandes del mundo a suspender el tránsito a través de una de las rutas comerciales marítimas más importantes del mundo, lo que podría causar un shock a la economía global.Se cree que los hutíes han sido armados y entrenados por Irán, y se teme que sus ataques puedan llevar la guerra de Israel contra Hamas a un conflicto regional más amplio.Suben los precios del petróleo y el gas, al tiempo que BP frena sus envíos en el mar Rojo tras los ataques de los hutíesEsto es lo que sabemos sobre los hutíes y por qué se están involucrando en la guerra.¿Quiénes son los hutíes?El movimiento hutí, también conocido como Ansarallah (Partidarios de Dios), es un bando de la guerra civil yemení que se ha prolongado dura...¿Cuál es el país que primero recibe el Año Nuevo?

JERUSALÉN – La guerra entre Israel y el grupo islamista Hamas alcanza su jornada 86 en el último día de 2023, una escalada que promete extenderse durante viarios meses del año siguiente, mientras la crisis humanitaria se agrava cada vez más en la Franja de Gaza, donde ya suman más de 21,000 muertos.Las tropas israelíes continuaban este domingo su ofensiva por aire, tierra y mar sobre todo el largo del enclave palestino: en el norte, afianzaban su control, mientras en el sur, donde se cree que se esconde Yahya Sinwar, el líder de Hamas en la Franja, incrementaban los ataques.En las afueras de la ciudad de Gaza, “un vehículo con terroristas en su interior se acercó a las tropas”, por lo que fue atacado desde el aire y las personas abordo fueron “eliminadas”, indicó un portavoz del Ejército.
