(You can learn more about refinery flaring on this air district\u003ca href=\"https://www.baaqmd.gov/plans-and-climate/emission-tracking-and-monitoring/flare-minimization-plans\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> webpage\u003c/a>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another environmental advocate, Matt Renner, who lives in Richmond and has consistently criticized the refinery for such episodes, said the November flaring raises significant concerns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This plant is not being operated safely,\" Renner said. \"The fact that they admit that their own documentation is wrong and that they don't have procedures for restarting safely after an unplanned outage begs the question: If Chevron doesn't know how to operate this plant safely, who does?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A Chevron representative declined to offer more specifics about the sequence of events that led to the mistaken circuitry drawings and outage but emphasized that the company has worked to reduce flaring at its refineries around the world and in Richmond.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"With the exception of flaring that occurred in 2019 as part of overcoming the challenges of integrating $1 billion of new, \u003ca href=\"http://www.ci.richmond.ca.us/3552/Chevron-Richmond-Refinery-Modernization-\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">modernized equipment\u003c/a>, Richmond has reduced the frequency and volume of flaring events over the last 10 years. We continue to focus efforts to both reduce flaring and facility down time,\" said Chevron spokeswoman Linsi Crain. [aside tag=\"chevron,air-pollution\" label=\"more coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company told the air district that it has updated diagrams for the electrical substations involved in the outage and is working on other changes to prevent a repeat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Chevron identified and employed preventative measures to protect against this type of power loss in the future,\" Crain said. \"Similar to protections against mechanical failures, Chevron employs multiple layers of safeguards and systems to reduce human error.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Importantly, air monitoring data during the incidents in question demonstrated no exceedances above health-based standards for the chemicals monitored,\" Crain said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>November's flaring incident is under investigation by the air district but not by the hazardous materials program at Contra Costa County Public Health Services. Officials at the health agency did not seek a 72-hour report on the incident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The flaring operations were not deemed to be a major chemical accident or release so the refinery is not required by county officials to perform a root-cause analysis, according to Matt Kaufmann, director of the county's hazardous materials programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The November case was the second significant incident at the refinery in a matter of six months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Aug. 14, in the midst of a Bay Area heat wave, Chevron had a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11833406/smoke-from-flaring-at-chevrons-richmond-refinery-seen-from-across-the-bay\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">malfunction\u003c/a> tied to the weather. According to a \u003ca href=\"https://www.baaqmd.gov/~/media/files/compliance-and-enforcement/flares/causal-reports/2020_0814_a0010_s6016_01-pdf.pdf?la=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">causal flare report\u003c/a> filed with the air district, after it reached 90 degrees that day, one of the facility's fire suppression systems mistakenly activated. A steam unit tripped offline, causing pressure problems that prompted the refinery to send gas to its flares.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For comparison, that flaring led to the release of close to 630 pounds of sulfur dioxide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Jan. 16, there was another malfunction at the refinery. Other than Chevron's description of a \"unit upset\" at the facility, details about that incident have not been released. A causal report for that flaring operation is due by the end of March.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this month, a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11859660/chevron-richmond-refinery-spill-as-crews-mop-up-investigators-move-in\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ruptured pipeline\u003c/a> at Chevron's Long Wharf led to the release of up to 750 gallons of low sulfur diesel mixed with water into San Francisco Bay.

Ultimately, though, it was from the airport that Irish coffee went out into the wider world, as travelers like Delaplane brought back word of a special kind of coffee mixed with whiskey, sugar and cream.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The other hiccup in the Buena Vista’s tale, though, is that Delaplane isn’t the only traveler who brought word back to the U.S. There’s historical evidence that Irish coffee made its appearance in New York four years before that fateful night at the Buena Vista.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11628139\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 500px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/Screen-Shot-2017-11-03-at-4.27.48-PM.png\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-11628139\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/Screen-Shot-2017-11-03-at-4.27.48-PM-800x1070.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"669\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/Screen-Shot-2017-11-03-at-4.27.48-PM-800x1070.png 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/Screen-Shot-2017-11-03-at-4.27.48-PM-160x214.png 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/Screen-Shot-2017-11-03-at-4.27.48-PM-240x321.png 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/Screen-Shot-2017-11-03-at-4.27.48-PM-375x502.png 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/Screen-Shot-2017-11-03-at-4.27.48-PM-520x696.png 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/Screen-Shot-2017-11-03-at-4.27.48-PM.png 894w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">An ad in the Chronicle in 1956 for the Buena Vista’s Irish coffee. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of the San Francisco Chronicle)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“The first instance I can find of the Irish coffee coming to the U.S. is the food critic for the New York Herald Tribune, named Clementine Paddleford.

Then the bartender stirred up every glass, “like Bob Marley,” he added. As he stirred, he splashed a little bit of the drinks out here and there, to make sure each cup looked the same all down the bar.

For decades there was a phone service in Northern California that would read you the time and date if you dialed POP-CORN, the letters that represented 767-2676. That service went dark back in 2007, and Bay Curious listener George wants to know why.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The answer begins at the very origins of the telephone in 1876, when just two years after Alexander Graham Bell famously invented the technology, \u003ca href=\"https://connecticuthistory.org/the-first-commercial-telephone-exchange-today-in-history/#:~:text=On%20January%2028%2C%201878%2C%20the,Herrick%20Frost%20and%20Walter%20Lewis.\">phone service went commercial\u003c/a>.

"content": "\u003cp>Early Sunday morning, former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger took to Twitter with a nearly eight-minute video to call out his fellow Republicans who stood by, or even helped the incitement, of Wednesday's insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/Schwarzenegger/status/1348249481284874240\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schwarzenegger opens with memories of growing up in Austria, where his community was keenly aware of \u003cem>Kristallnacht\u003c/em>, the Night of Broken Glass carried out in 1938 by what he called the \"Nazi equivalent of the Proud Boys.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And he warned this recent insurrection carries echoes of that historic night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Wednesday was the Day of Broken Glass right here in the United States,\" Schwarzenegger said. \"The broken glass was the windows of the United States Capitol. But the mob did not just shatter the windows of the Capitol, they shattered the ideals we took for granted.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They trampled the very principles on which our country was founded,\" he added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schwarzenegger doesn't always weigh in on every political happening, but he began the year with an opinion piece in the Economist titled \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.economist.com/by-invitation/2021/01/05/arnold-schwarzenegger-on-why-republicans-must-stop-trump\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Why Republicans must stop Trump,\u003c/a>\" and has a clear opinion and motivational message for the United States grappling with how to move forward in this current moment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his Twitter address, he also spoke about the guilt among those who participated in Hitler's regime. \"I was surrounded by broken men drinking away their guilt over their participation in the most evil regime in history,\" he said. Schwarzenegger said his father struggled with alcoholism because of that guilt and would strike his children, something that happened to many men across Schwarzenegger's community as they struggled with their role in World War II.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I know there is a fear in this country and all over the world that something like this could happen right here,\" he said. \"We must be aware of the dire consequences of selfishness and cynicism.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He addressed President Trump directly (as a governator would), calling Trump out for attempting to overturn the election. \"President Trump is a failed leader,\" Schwarzenegger said. \"He will go down in history as the worst president ever.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, he added, Trump \"soon will be as irrelevant as an old tweet.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But \"what are we to make of those elected officials who have enabled his lies and his treachery?\" Schwarzenegger asks, in the video. \"I would remind them of what Teddy Roosevelt said: 'Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schwarzenegger ends his message by recalling a phrase from Catholic school — a \"servant's heart,\" appealing to elected representatives to act in service to the broader ideals. \"We need public servants who will serve higher ideals, the ideals in which this country was founded and ideals that other countries look up to,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the video draws to a close, Schwarzenegger channels his action hero vibes, holding up a sword for the American people to consider.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The more you temper a sword, the stronger it becomes. The more you pound it with a hammer and heat it in the fire and then thrust it into the cold water, the stronger it becomes,\" he said. \"Our democracy is like the steel of this sword — the more it is tempered, the stronger it becomes.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Finally, in the name of healing rifts between parties and Americans, he called on everyone \"no matter what your political affiliation is ... to join me in saying to President-elect Biden, 'President-elect Biden, we wish you great success as our president. If you succeed, our nation succeeds.' \"\u003c/p>\n\n",

It does not mean to stand by the president.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schwarzenegger ends his message by recalling a phrase from Catholic school — a \"servant's heart,\" appealing to elected representatives to act in service to the broader ideals. \"We need public servants who will serve higher ideals, the ideals in which this country was founded and ideals that other countries look up to,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the video draws to a close, Schwarzenegger channels his action hero vibes, holding up a sword for the American people to consider.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The more you temper a sword, the stronger it becomes. The more you pound it with a hammer and heat it in the fire and then thrust it into the cold water, the stronger it becomes,\" he said. \"Our democracy is like the steel of this sword — the more it is tempered, the stronger it becomes.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Finally, in the name of healing rifts between parties and Americans, he called on everyone \"no matter what your political affiliation is ... to join me in saying to President-elect Biden, 'President-elect Biden, we wish you great success as our president. If you succeed, our nation succeeds.' \"\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Watson plans to convene a deeper discussion of what the events mean to this Black and Latinx community in the week ahead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Similar conversations are happening among teachers who work with much younger students. In Oakland, Montclair Elementary School teacher Jamila Brooks planned to work with colleagues to develop lesson plans that deepen the teachable moment they initiated with students this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Brooks, that began Thursday morning with a poll of her 29 fifth graders, asking if they knew what had happened in the nation’s capital the night before.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I knew we were going to talk about this today,” one student posted in chat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You are living in what people will talk about and study many years from now,” Brooks told them, drawing a connection to American history they’re studying.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She showed students a series of photos of the mob at the Capitol building and students took turns describing what they saw.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I noticed when you look at the crowd on the news, not to criticize, but it’s almost all white people — white supremacists,” said 10-year-old Mikhayah Watson. “I’m a little scared that our country is in this type of chaos.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brooks reassured the kids it’s OK to feel scared. “A lot of us do,” she said. “What’s important is that we’re all safe.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To create a space for calm and healing, Brooks ended class by inviting her students to find their favorite stuffed animal, then lit up as she watched them wrap their arms around a teddy bear, a pink unicorn and a lamb named Shelby, their smiles returning to their faces.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
