With the winter season upon us, many people turn to various heating sources to keep warm and cozy. However, it is crucial to be aware of the potential dangers associated with carbon monoxide poisoning, which is often referred to as the "silent killer." Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas that can be extremely harmful, and even fatal, if inhaled in high concentrations. Here are six scenarios that can increase the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning during the winter months:The Cupertino City Council contest is headed for a recount following a two-week long stand off between Ray Wang and Rod Sinks to fill the second open seat. A recount by the Santa Clara County Register of Voters is triggered when the margin of victory between two candidates is less than 0.25% of all ballots cast, or less than 25 votes. A candidate only needs to win by one vote after the recount is finished. So far the two candidates are separated by 65 votes of all ballots casted, which the county recognizes as meeting the 0.25% requirement. Wang has a small lead as of Friday. Cupertino’s recount will begin Monday and continue daily until all the ballots are counted, including the 7,000 unprocessed ballots left in the county as of Friday. The Register of Voters doesn’t know how long Cupertino’s will take, but volunteers are required to finish prior to certification on Dec 5, according to Associate Community Officer Michael Borja. Seven candidates were vying to fill Cupertino’s two open council seats this election season, including incumbents Hung Wei and Kitty Moore, former mayors Sinks, Gilbert Wong and Barry Chang, former planning commissioner Wang and political newcomer Claudio Bono. Moore has secured her spot on the council so far, leading with 25% of the votes as of Friday. Moore and Wang were running on a joint platform of promoting more fiscal accountability and transparency on the council and encouraging the city to consider the environmental and public safety concerns of large development projects. Wang thinks the results of the recount will be close, and sees the process as a sign of the city’s good voter turnout. “We’re optimistic and have a lot of support in the community,” Wang said. “We’re looking forward to a resident focus approach.” Sinks could not be reached for comment. The former mayor has voiced his support for turning The Rise into a vibrant downtown for Cupertino. He is campaigning for more inter-city transportation services and a business-friendly environment. Cupertino isn’t the only city to undergo a recount. The Palo Alto City Council will also start a recount on Monday for candidates Keith Reckdahl and Doria Summa, who are vying for the fourth open seat.

Mayor of Quelimane, the fifth-largest city in Mozambique, Manuel Lopes de Araújo has urged the South African government to heighten its intervention in the neighbouring country, warning that failure to ease tensions may result in negative consequences to South Africa. Earlier this week, IOL reported that political turmoil in Mozambique, ignited by the elections held on October 9, escalated after ruling Frelimo party candidate Daniel Chapo was declared the winner of the highly contested polls. The Constitutional Council, Mozambique's highest body in matters of constitutional and electoral law has however revised Chapo's victory margin by five per cent, from 70 to 65 percent, with majority of that five percent going to Chapo's archrival Venâncio Mondlane, whose total rose from 20 to 24 percent. Demonstrations have erupted in different cities including the capital Maputo since the end of October, with protesters contesting the election results that further entrenched Frelimo's 49-year hold on power in Mozambique. As the protests intensified, border operations at Lebombo have been temporarily suspended at several intervals, hindering trade flow between South Africa and Mozambique as heavy trucks carrying minerals to ports in Mozambique are stuck on South African side. In an interview with broadcaster Newzroom Afrika on Christmas Day, Araujo who is a member of Mozambique's main opposition party, Renamo, said the South African Development Community (SADC) region will feel the heat if the situation in Mozambique further degenerates. "I am very happy that finally, President Cyril Ramaphosa understood the extent of the crisis in Mozambique. I have spent the last month in South Africa, I was in Johannesburg, Pretoria, I went to Durban during the meeting of the MK... Jonisayi Maromo
