The state today announced that, effective last nig

The state today announced that, effective last night (Sunday, Nov. 29), San Mateo County will move to purple Tier 1, the most restrictive on the state’s four-tier, color-coded COVID-19 reopening plan. A new stay-at-home order — prohibiting residents from leaving their homes to gather with other households from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. — also takes effect at 10 p.m. Monday, Nov. 30.

Under purple Tier 1 restrictions, businesses and activities that may have been operating indoors — including places of worship, movie theaters, gyms and museums — must move outdoors or close. Shopping malls and all retail must operate at no more than 25 percent capacity.

Indoor gatherings among members of different households are banned and outdoor gatherings can include people from only three households outside of the 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. restrictions. During those hours, no gatherings are allowed among households, with certain exemptions.

San Mateo County Health reported an approximately 85 percent spike in new COVID-19 cases from October to November: https://www.smchealth.org/coronavirus. The rollback to purple is due to the county’s new adjusted case rate of 7.6 per 100,000 population.
“We have not seen numbers like this in quite a while and we really need to reverse this incredibly troubling trend,” County Manager Mike Callagy said. “What’s important to remember is that we can reverse the trend as long as we follow common-sense health and safety practices.”
The virus is considered “widespread” in purple Tier 1 in state’s four-tier “Blueprint for a Safer Economy” plan.
Callagy added, “We need everyone to do their part to keep our community safe. That’s why we are urging everyone to stay home for the holidays. I know that means a lot of sacrifice, but the best way to show your family that you love them is to stay home and stay safe.”
Limited Stay At Home Order
The new stay at home order, announced by the state Nov. 19, is more limited than the spring “Shelter in Place” order and applies only to counties in the purple Tier 1. It went into effect November 21 and will remain in place until December 21.

The world is shocked, today, November 25, 2020, that the soccer world has lost an Argentinian legend, Diego Armando Maradona. (1960-2020)
At his 60 years, he suffered a hearth attack. Last week he went through a surgery after a cerebrovascular accident (stroke), and after eight days of recovery, he passed earlier today, according to the media in Argentina.
He had some health complications in the past year, has been diagnosed with hepatitis since 2007, and had a knee replacement in 2019.
Today soccer fans have lost a legend; “a worldwide champion”, a “hero without cape”.
His group of fans said on social media: “He is meeting with God.”
Rest in peace Maradona. ⚽️

Noticia muy, muy triste. No lo puedo creer. Murió el mejor futbolista de la historia. Murió Diego Maradona. Me hizo llorar tantas veces de emoción, hoy lloro de profunda tristeza. Q.E.P.D. crack, fenómeno, ídolo, astro del deporte. Gracias, gracias eternas por tanta magia. pic.twitter.com/vheF76LiGX

Zoom is getting rid of its 40-minute limit, but just for Thanksgiving.

Zoom will lift the restriction from 12AM ET on November 26 to 6AM ET on November 27, which one hopes would cover any length of Thanksgivingvideo call.
According to a social media statement released last week, “As a thank you to our customers, we will be lifting the 40-minute limit for all meetings globally from midnight ET on Nov. 26 through 6 a.m. ET on Nov. 27 so your family gatherings don't get cut short. ❤️🏡 #ZoomTogether” .

Since covid-19 cases have been raising up the last couple of weeks in the state, this could be an option to “celebrate” thanksgiving and make sure nobody gets cut short for the holidays.

Rico Medina wins reelection in San Bruno mayor race

In the results of the San Bruno mayoral election, incumbent Rico Medina is projected to clinch reelection for a two-year term, after meeting the necessary votes to defeat city councilwoman Linda Mason.
This was the first even-year mayor election in San Bruno history, prompting the largest voter turnout for the election ever.
After 82.2 percent of the ballots revealed, Medina achieved the projected victory, with 59 percent of the total 10,900 votes. 41 percent of those votes were for Mason, which represents 7,574 votes.
“The city has made a clear decision that I am going to be the mayor for the next two years,” Medina said. “I am blessed to have that honor, and to be able to roll up the sleeves and get us through what we are currently facing.”
Medina was considered a prime frontrunner for reelection because of his overwhelming support from local officials. He received endorsements from five San Mateo County Supervisors, eight current and former city council members from the county, and 11 current and former mayors from surrounding cities.
He also received support from Congresswoman Jackie Speier and California Senator Jerry Hill.
Medina has been a long-time member of the local San Bruno community, starting in the Parks and Recreation Department working with youth activities to joining a city council seat in 2005. He was elected as mayor for a three-year term in 2017.

Starting Saturday, 11/21, counties in California's

Starting Saturday, 11/21, counties in California's purple tier will be put under a curfew from 10 pm to 5 am to slow the spread of coronavirus. This means Bay Area residents in Alameda, Contra Costa, Santa Clara, Solano, Napa, and Sonoma counties will not be allowed out for nonessential work or gatherings during the restricted time frame. Newsom says the "limited Stay At Home Order" will last for one month.

Back allowances in SF. Gyms must decrease their capacity from 25% to 10%, non-essential offices must close, and residents must not gather with those outside of their households. Breed states, "We are going to proceed with caution to do everything we can to avoid a shutdown", however, there is no doubt that more business allowances will begin to roll back soon.

Mayor Breed writes in a statement, "I know this is tough but it is necessary. We have to control the virus if we're going to get our economy back on track and our kids back in school. We'll continue to do everything we can as a city to help the workers, businesses, families, and residents being impacted". As the holidays come along, please avoid large gatherings. And for the love of progress, please wear a mask.

Newson is enacting a statewide curfew , California is moving away from the "watch list" system of tracking COVID-19 trends and instead moving to a four-tier, color coded classification system. Via: newson social media.

What is a legend? A tribute to beloved “Jeopard

What is a legend?

A tribute to beloved “Jeopardy!” host Alex Trebek
By: Marco Milani.

If your TV is on Channel 7 at 7:00 at night, chances are you’ve heard the familiar voice of Alex Trebek hosting “Jeopardy!”, and perhaps remotely participated in the show yourself, shouting wrong answers at the TV, like what host of TSN’s Sportscentre Kayla Grey wrote on Twitter upon his passing.
Kayla Grey on Twitter: “Alex Trebek didn’t know it but he was also the host of Screaming wrong answers at the TV a hit I would star in alongside grandparents every single night growing up. There will never be another. Greatest game show host of all time”
We lost Trebek Nov. 8, at the age of 80, ending his long fight with pancreatic cancer — a disease he’s been battling with since March 2019. But hosting the TV show for over 37 seasons (since the year 1984 according to the official “Jeopardy!” website) was not all his career consisted of.
Trebek was born in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada, so naturally, being Canadian, he found himself around hockey. He announced an award at last year’s NHL Awards, and made many appearances in a hockey jersey, and he even announced the fourth overall pick in this year’s NHL Draft for his favorite team, the Ottawa Senators. Coincidentally, he’s also a graduate of the University of Ottawa.

Democrats do not always swipe ‘left’

They are likely to mingle with anyone regardless of their political affiliation.

Among those who identified themselves as Democrats, 46 percent of them said that they are attracted to members of all political parties, 50 percent said that they will date people affiliated with any political party, and 49 percent said that they would sleep with people affiliated with any political party. However, the majority, 61 percent, of the Democrats said that they would only eventually marry someone who shares the same political affiliation as them.

Nonetheless, some of the Democrats are open to committing to a relationship with a person whose political affiliation is different from theirs.
“I’m registered as a Democrat and voted Democrat this upcoming election, but I am open to listening to ideas and creating relationships with people from other parties because we must work together,” a respondent who identified themselves as a Democrat said.
However, some democrats are particularly against the idea of dating a Republican.
“I wouldn’t date or sleep with a Republican because their views are inherently disrespectful to my existence,” one of them said. “I wouldn’t consider any sort of relationship with someone who believed that I as a woman didn’t have the right to control my own body.”
The rest of the respondents, 39 percent of them, consists of respondents who identify themselves as Republicans, Independent and other affiliations, those who do not prefer to say which party they are affiliated with, or are not eligible to vote.

Democrats do not always swipe ‘left’

They are likely to mingle with anyone regardless of their political affiliation

Politics are among one of the most sensitive and volatile discussion topics among those that are sometimes deemed to be taboo. Like many other conversations, ones about differences in political stance and beliefs can be turbulent and transform into heated arguments.
The delicacy of the topic may bring to mind a question: How does political affiliation play a role in the contemporary dating scene?
Out of curiosity, and in pursuit of new information, The Skyline View conducted an informal survey from Oct. 22 to Oct. 29, dedicated to students studying particular courses around the campus. Given the nature of the subject, the study involved students studying communication, journalism, political science, and sociology as the respondents.
The majority of the respondents identify themselves as Democrats (61%), with the rest identifying themselves as Republicans, Independent and other parties, not eligible to vote, or as preferring not to say which party they belong to.

Does your political affiliation matter in the contemporary dating scene?

Democrats do not always swipe ‘left’

In this day and age, young adults are more immersed in the quest to find true love. Whether you prefer traditional courtship or online dating, there are thousands of things that must be checked to ensure compatibility. Interests, pet peeves, kinks — just to mention a few — are some of things people today find themselves taking into consideration.

Directors of CIPC discuss how the future of immigration policies for the next four years

A Zoom webinar was held Oct. 20 to shed light on the actions the state of California has taken in terms of increasing support for immigrant communities, and how the situation is currently being addressed in terms of legal and financial support services on the current state of immigration policies on the federal and local level.
“We will have a federal election that is going to chart the part of immigrants rights, probably for the next decade,” said Orville Thomas, the director of Government Affairs for the California Immigrant Policy Center. “We’re trying to create a California system that is emblematic of the opportunities we have when we embrace all undocumented immigrants or those that have the luxury of legal status.”
California Immigration Policy Center (CIPC) is a 25-year-old organization was created as a response to anti-immigration policies which restricted accessibility to public benefits to undocumented individuals and their families.
CIPC was able to grow statewide in California through grassroots organizing and with the help of organizations known as Regional Capacity Building Partners (RECABIP), a network of professionals working towards responding to development challenges through investing in local organizations and institutions.

During 5 days of celebrations, hindus celebrate the light ✨ and it symbolizes “the victory of light over darkness, good over evil and knowledge over ignorance” it’s one of their most important festival and celebrated in every part of India and in the world wherever Indians have migrated to.
The festival gets its name from the row (avali) of clay lamps (deep), houses and towns are decorated with oil lamps that symbolizes protection.
It’s all about colors, light and textures, they also create design patterns on the floor called “rangoli” meant to bring luck 🤞🏼, strength and generosity, these designs are passed down to generations mainly from a mother to daughter but with social norms changing faster in India as well, even men participate in rangoli designs

This festival is as important to Hindus as the Christmas holiday is to Christians. - शुभ दिवाली
