Because we know that not all immigrants were welcomed into the country. Not all immigrants were able to achieve their american dreams. But rather, we picked and sifted and chose which immigrants to let in and which immigrants to let out. Or keep out. And many times, this really was dependent upon an immigrants race, ethnicity, gender, class, this idea of who is fit to become a citizen and who is not. And this is the history that is best exemplified through immigration through angel island. This is in the San Francisco bay. It is that other island, not alcatraz, but that other island in the San Francisco bay that is now a california state park. So, the immigration station on angel island was open from 1910 to 1940. We primarily think about it as an entry point for immigrants from china and japan. And two thirds of the immigrants who did come through angel island were from those two countries. But as you can see, there are over 80 countries represented for the immigration stream that cam
Health, so i spoke with pulmonologist dr. Vinny job, to get some answers to your questions. We have been dealing with the smoke for weeks now, what are the longterm risks from breathing all of the stuff in for so long . Is there a cumulative effect as one of our viewers asked, is it going to be affecting us later like the coal mines did for people . We look at wildfire smoke, there is been, shown to be an increase in respiratory problems. Meaning bronchitis, potentially pneumonia, etc. , but not, not, the other things have not been shown meaning an increase in an increase in mortality due to cardiovascular effects. The jury is still out on those, the research is mixed on those endpoints. People with heart and lung problems honestly have risks with this air quality but what about the people who come you know, were otherwise healthy . How much of a risk is it for most people . If you are talking about air lein thred little bit each day, just a little bit of daily activity, then that is p
Long is this going to last . A couple more days. Lets start off with right now, the numbers over my shoulder are the daytime highs and only one broke the record. Santa rosa, record for today would have been 101, you got up to 104. As impressive as those numbers look, this was the easy day. Let me show you how things will play out tomorrow. So for a bunch of representative spots that blanket the bay area, livermore is 109, San Francisco at 91. Here is where we break the records. Livermore, concord, santa rosa and san jose. Conquered by as much as 4 degrees. 103 in san jose tomorrow. And even though 94 in oakland is not breaking a record, still 1 degree shy of it and it will still be a very hot day. Lets get as many other numbers as we can with a quick overview on the screen. Fremont at 101, Mountain View goes to 99 and yes there are heat warnings and advisories all over this map. I check back with the complete forecast i will break down the differences between an advisory and an excessi

So we have been in constant communication and we have heard this concern of these classes that absolutely cannot be taught virtually but they are very hand on. How can we make the classes safer . Because they cannot be done virtual. That will be part of the guidance. And its such a big piece of the other thing and that the other thing that gets lost in inperson classes is there are classes that will not be taught in the fall semester or potentially the Spring Semester that have a negative impact on Mental Health in San Francisco. A lot of our seniors take classes at City College Even with the unfortunate class cuts in physical education in, for example, pottery and ceramics that you cannot teach online. You cannot take a ceramics class online, but we cannot teach it safely inperson either currently. The work we are doing is critical for us to do this work back in the spring. And hopefully teach the important classes that have a direct Mental Health impact and positive impact on a lot o
