how long did you work on code girls? >> guest: three-year start to finish i did get a loss of records declassified but i'm still getting letters that if you are still interested from what you filed two years ago let us know of you are still interested. i am still interested. >> caller: thank you for taking my call thank you for bringing the untold story to light. were there any african-american women doing code breaking? >> guest: thank you so much for asking that question. yes the navy was not willing to admit african-american women they did not until 1945 but they were paranoid about background but the army did there was an african-american unit at the army compound in arlington virginia that was a secret unit that worked as the private sector they decrypted their communication and wanted to know if they were having relations with hitler or mitsubishi the civilian army that was breaking the unit so i'm so glad the caller asked. >>host: that is an untold story. >> it was very hard to get records about that unit and i'm

she was a code recur. and she worked over there until, i don't know, after world war ii was over or not or do she came home and she never talked about it. it was always a secret it seemed like to the family. i just wanted to tell you i was really interested in listening to all the ladies, especially the ones from england. it was just so much fun to hear their conversation, their accent of course in the story about when they were codebreakers. post a thank you for calling in. right before this began i told you my aunty did this in world war ii when she would not talk about it. >> guest: that's right. dozens of women did this work and it was top secret word. you can't have the enemy know that you are up in their code system because they will then change the code system and it will go dark in all your hard work will be lost. the women were told during the war that if anyone asks what they did that they were to say they were secretaries, that they emptied ask it and sharpen pencils and they continued that afte

this has been in the planning code, planning does not really have adequate code enforcement for it. according to the supervisor and his aid, more than 50% of the complaints planning had last year on this particular type of item, were in district 11. they seem to have disproportionate share of this particular issue. the ordinance will have us responding to complaints as they come in now. if someone doesn't get a permit in order to do this paving over, that would get defered to planning anyway. which in most cases would deny it. so we would begin a code enforcement process as a way of trying to dissuade this practice ongoing. we think it is reasonable. deputy director sweeney really cleared it, starting with this kind of new complaint basis. it is something that we can manage in our normal code enforcement process. >> ok. so, start with commissioner warshell and then commissioner walker sfj my only request for clarification, clearly there is a permeable issue when you do concrete, pavers or gravel, it's permeable. but you can still park your car on it. give always really quick idea of

he had many chances to provide a full detailed plan in compliance with the fire code, structural code, mechanical code, which includes title 24. but so far, he continues to look for a short cut. on the contrary, i have provided in my briefs three in total so far. fact, the permit holder's plan is not in compliance. which includes, number one, i made improvements on my property, fully vetted, and inspected by the city, which includes the construction of the roof deck and a hatch that is less than six feet away from the permit holder's illegal window. therefore, permit holder's current plan goes against condition number 6. also permit holder signed the declaration of used limitation, which puts his plan under conditions in case i make such improvements on my property. number two, there is no practical reason to have those windows in the property line. that's the condition number one of ab09, that the permit holder is not meeting. number three, i attached in my brief an e-mail from the city's senior engineer stating that those illegal windows would require significant structure work and

the fire code, the state code, and so does the building code. and as the local jurisdiction, we do not have the authority to waive state requirements on building and fire code requirements, so i think that's very important for all of us to understand that. and the other thing to understand is those codes and those requirements are there for the safety of the occupants of the building and for firefighters responding to the building. and those codes have been developed over decades at great loss of life sometimes, and so they are there for a reason. so we cannot be less restrictive than what's prescribed in the -- in the california building and fire code for fire and life safety. setting that aside, with that understanding, there are times you cannot meet the letter of the code. if you are land locked, if you have zero lot line set backs, etc., we have the local authority to come up with equivalencies, offsetting measures and enhancements that mitigate that deficiency in that design, and therefore, in our opinion, rise to the level where it's equa

but the building code has the size of the requirement. does this window match that. >> the front window is our rescue opening which exceeds our 5.24 square feet and it satisfies the ventilation requirement required by 12.03 i think. >> the financial burden was unacceptable making this a a.d.u. because it wasn't cash flow enough, you didn't use those words but i'm interpreting it the same. wouldn't be enough to satisfy a lender because it was rent controlled. but, if a property, in the first go around is rented at a whatever, a market rate is, the rent control doesn't kick in until future years. so why in an initial financing of this building satisfy the needs that you identify, why is this a factor? >> well in my notes, i didn't get a chance to say this, i had put down to say to you tonight it's either going to sell as a condo or as it's going to be a rental. my clients doesn't know yet and won't know until we see what the construction costs are whether he won't know whether that methodology is selling it as a condo or renting it. it can'

of the international code and what jeremy corbyn question of the international code and whatjeremy corbyns anti—semitic doesn't speakfor anyone who is anti—semitic doesn't speak for him, despite anyone who is anti—semitic doesn't speakfor him, despite him expressing again his determination to root out anti—semitism and racism, he does not seem to be prepared to accept, in full, this international definition and the exa m ples international definition and the examples which have been so widely accepted elsewhere. there is a consultation now that is happening, so consultation now that is happening, so he doesn't want to pre—empt that. my so he doesn't want to pre—empt that. my personal view is i agree the author of the original text, kenneth stern, who has expressed serious concerns about how this is used to shut down criticism of israel. is just ten words that worry people, everything else is fine. —— it is. those words are being used in barnet council in north london, to try to prevent people who criticise israel from using their facilities. globally do it effectively is making it absolut

influence a building code. some of our provisions are implemented through a building permit, which after we approved and scent to d.b.i. for at their review and issuance, is out of our hands and we do not actively monitor that. there would have been no specific reason for asked to be made aware of this issue if the complaint had not been filed. >> secondly, i have to think about how i want to phrase this. what is accomplished by issuing the suspension? >> what is accomplished is, technically, the permit required a new variance. if it was going to be issued in that manner. because we are the law of today. the law applies up to the plan of -- up to the point of issuance. that is the technical importance of that. i do want to mention, also, i think i mentioned this earlier, i did mention the fact that our variance letters do not include the three year expiration language as a condition of approval, like specifically in the bullet point condition approval of the letter. it is in the body of the letter in the -- at

the code is silent on it, but has provisions for other zoning in the code. the second is from the cannabis ordinance, which removed applicable requirements. the change is consistent with the intent of the cannabis. and the failure to remove it is a drafting error. a third came at the mayor's office and housing that continued development. it would change median to market. using median as benchmark is not a valid standard for the problems the provision is attempting to solve. the planning commission voted to approve the ordinance with modifications april 19 this year. the one recommendation is to remove limited commercial uses to be permitted in the store and zoning districts per 186.3. this was inadvertently deleted and this has been added to the ordinance. so staff has additional corrective amendments, that include page 2. deleting 312 from the sections being amended, since 312 is being revamped. it's being taken out completely of this ordinance. corrections are no longer needed. page 6, line 5, accessory uses are being added to the definition for reference.

dress code for students in alameda. the district is doing away with rules that banned >>> wear what you want. that's the gist of a controversial new dress code for students in alameda. the district is doing away with rules that banned revealing shirts and shorts. some students say the old rules unfairly targeted girls forcing some to feel body shamed. we are joined from alameda high school. this is a big swing from a strict dress code to a very relaxed one. >> reporter: yeah, it's a big change and a lot of students are really embracing it. a spokesperson for the district tells me under the old dress code some teachers would actually use a ruler to measure the width of a girl's spaghetti strap. the district admits that made some girls feel embarrassed andf their classmates. >> it was embarrassing to get sent down because you're getting singling out. >> reporter: she is sporting exactly what she wanted to wear on her first day of high school and she will not get in trouble for it. under alameda unified school district's o

we're going to win the peace and they pass these black codes. and the black codes are pretty awful. they recognize the end of slavery, and they ask black people to close the state to slavery as possible. and some of these were egregious. i mean, the mississippi black code was probably the worst. they enacted vagrancy laws, saying if a black person is found not working for someone, he can be arrested and fined in order to pay his fine, he's to be leeds to a plantation to work for the local planter. guess what so if a black person is tilling his own land or is self-employed, he's defined as a vagrant. they force black people to enter into year-long contracts to work in plantations, to get to sort of commandeer black labor the way they had under slavery. enticement laws. meaning if i have signed a contract with a black laborer, he can't do it. that's a criminal offense, that's enticing my laborer. now, is that the free market in wage labor, that's not how wage labor works, right? if you are a wage laborer, you would work for the guy who pays you the most, right? so that's not allowed.

they pass these black codes. and the black codes are pretty awful. they recognize the end of slavery, right? they say, okay, you know, slavery is ended, but they try to restrict black rights and black freedom and put black people to as close to slavery as possible. and some of these were grege just. they enacted vagrancy law -- were egregious. if a black person is forming his own -- is self-employed, he is defined as a vagrant. they force black people to enter into year-long contracts to work in plantations, to get to the-to commandeer black labor the way they had under slavery. enticement laws. meaning if i had sign add contract with -- signed a contract with a black person, if -- he can't do it. that's a criminal offense. is that the free market? that's not how wage labor works, right? if you are a wage laborer, you would pay for the guy who pays you the most, right? that's not allowed. apprenticeship law. normally, apprenticeship was seen as a nights thing. to be apprentice ship? they took black children out of their families and apprentice them.

and they passed these black codes. and the black codes are pretty awful. they recognized the end of slavery, right? they say, okay. you know slavery has ended. but they tried to restrict black rights and black freedom and put black people to as close a state to slavery as possible. and some of these were, were egregious. the mississippi black code was probably the worst. they enacted vague rancy laws, saying if a black person is found not working for someone he can be arrested and fined. and to pay his fine, he could be leased to a plantation. so if a black person is forming his own self-employed. he's defined as a having a rava. they force black people into year-long contracts, to commander black labor the way they had under slavery. enticement laws, meaning if i have signed a contract with a black person for his labor, if another person comes to him and offers him more money to work for him, he can't do it. that's a criminal offense. that's enticing my laborer. now is that the free market? that's not how wage labor works, right? if you are a wage laborer

we took the topics and said what topics do we code. in the world of qualitative research, you allow the data to speak to you and say it's from the data, from these kids that we will determine the content. we created a codebook. it determined these were the , hygiene, appearance, fighting jealousy, discussing ethnicity, sexual orientation, sexual activity, personality, manipulation, intellect and harassment. there were new topics that emerged and enough data than it became a new topic. we coded the target. who was the victim and who are they talking to or about? this came up self. this was very interesting. it also surprised marion. the role? areis they a bystander, witness, a victim or a perpetrator and in some cases we cannot determine. we could not collect pictures. that was something we couldn't do and i don't know if that was the case with you. >> [indiscernible] analyzed written comments about the pictures. >> here are some of the results. out of the 35,000 messages we coded, over 2800 were aggressive in content. these were the to

these -- black code. there known as black code. there updated versions of the slave could have the south. southerners who had been defeated and maybe under lincoln or someone who is more statesmanlike might have accepted the defeat and the demands put on them but johnson has been so lenient that they decide we have our man in the white house. civil war? forget about that. they pass these black codes. the black codes are pretty awful. they recognize the end of slavery, they say, slavery has ended. but, they try to restrict black rights and black freedom and put people back to us close to a state of slavery as possible. some of these egregious. the mississippi black codes were probably the worst. they enacted vagrancy laws. if a black person is found not working for someone he can be arrested and fined. he has to be released to a plantation. if a black person is forming his own or self-employed, he is defined as a vagrant. they forced people to enter into year-long contracts to work in plantations. to command black labor the way they

when you have a zoning map, it's a planning code amendment. to answer the question from the person in the audience, so that's that. but you are not considering the project at this point. so when the project comes forward, there may be requirements to add bulb-outs. we require that sometimes. again, our understanding is that caltran usually doesn't allow that kind of thing. >> thank you. commissioner fong? >> commissioner fong: i'm not supportive or necessarily opposed to it, but i see staff shaking their heads quite a bit and i think we need more time to clarify this. and maybe when the project makes it back to us that it's a piece of the approval or secondary piece to the approvapproval. >> vice president melgar: commissioner moore. >> commissioner moore: i'm interested in seeing the zoning to rm-2. i think it's a great idea. i think it would probably be in the best interest for us to have an inquiry to caltrans and somebody else to figure out what is happening here. i believe that the staff's position of maintaining the sidewalk is accurate,

so we recommend looking at the codes that already exist, and you'll see some of the codes that we found that being aratley depict what our paraeducators do in the classrooms. we have to make sure we appropriately staff the service minutes to provide the accurate allocations to our school sites when we're looking through at the beginning, middle, and end of the year to make sure that staffing can support these actual services that are being provided to our students. >> we are looking forward to 2018 and 19, another year of comparing. our immediate -- [inaudible] >> so this past year our popular topics were disability in college, know your rights, and executive function. at our june meeting our topic is artists and support. in two days, we'll have the meeting. so our c.a.c. meetings are open to public, and we would like to invite all of you commissioners to attend. over 2018-2019 meeting topic, i would like to point out april meeting. the topic is advocate worthy excellence award, which i would like to invite all of you commissioners to attend to that meeting. notification to our meetings
