a real center for social services for the population provides services on our territory.vices are also provided by stationary institutions of social services - these are quite boarding schools. and in the city of minsk, we also have a several city center for social services for families and children. and as you can see , the organizations providing services are quite wide and often not always enough for an elderly person. uh, knowledge experience work on the same internet in order to find the phone number he needs to consult, and on issues of obtaining social services on pension issues on obtaining material assistance from state targeted support, therefore, there was more such a need to create a single short number where a person can call and promptly and accurately obtain information on your issue. and most importantly, why did we do this, so that a person, uh, would not be looking for a service that he needs, but could tell his situation. and we already as specialists have selected the set of social services that are in this situation, or maybe a person can use them and

that is why the festive services.ons and divine services at the right altar began here only in the morning. made. this is also for safety, the left side of the transfiguration cathedral of the savior faces the direction of ukrainian artillery strikes, it was in the northern part of the temple that 2 weeks ago one of the shells hit, unfortunately, believers from the night festive service. i had to give up to save my life. it's a shame, of course, it's a shame. it’s a pity, of course, well, there will be peace soon, and we will go to the whole night, nothing is at stake, not christmas eve, there were reports of impending provocations from kiev american hummers systems were spotted not far from the line of contact, at least three times during the night an air defense system worked in donetsk and its suburbs. but despite the danger, believers continue to go to festive services. faith faith hope love here you go with this. it’s not scary to work at the temple the day before , the president of russia issued an order on a un

postal service.r wishlist was a stamp in 1993 to celebrate the 50th anniversary or commemoration of the repeal of the chinese exclusion act. the other option she recommended was in 1994 for the 125 year anniversary of the completion of the chinese continental railroad and we know, majority if not all, but the laborers were chinese immigrants and not recognized for their work and jean felt these were really compelling subjects to be understood because she saw how at that time, we had the black heritage series and other culture series and they were effective in materialing the stories -- effective in telling the stories of the ethnic communities. in the end, i think the idea that one over the committee that make decision on the stamp is the -- our lunar new year series. in the beginning, actually, it wasn't -- it was known as the happy new year stamp because as many of you may remember, we always said merry christmas stamps and we have happy easter stamps but for the longest time we didn't have a new y

neil, any secret service information while the service insists they will give that information to congress has to go through many levels, the general counsel at the secret service, secret service is part of the homeland security department, no longer part of treasury where they were for many years so it would be a process but the bottom line if people are concerned who may have been coming and going the service has a pretty good idea who has been in the property, crossed those gates, neil. neil: does the national archive have any role here to say, hold on secret service, you can't, since this concerns documents that with documents you can't do anything? i'm just curious? >> reporter: i don't know the answer to that but from what i've gathered just in general talking to officials at the justice department, the secret service would be able to provide information with people that have gone to wilmington and crossed the gate into the property, not necessarily dealing with the documents because we don't know that you know, let's say multiple names have been on a list over the past years. >> rig

our territorial centers of social services provide services to the population. services - this is upo the moment of boarding schools, but in the city of minsk we also have a several city center for social services for families and children. and as you can see, the organization that provides social services is quite wide and often not always enough for an elderly person. eh, knowledge of work experience on the same internet in order to find the phone number he needs to consult there was more such a need to create a single short number where a person can call and quickly, accurately and easily get information on their issue. and most importantly, why did we do this, so that a person, uh, would not be looking for a service that he needs, but could tell his situation. and we , as specialists, have already selected the set of social services that are in this situation, or maybe we’ll remain human and told about the procedure for obtaining them, we will immediately name these three cherished numbers, and these three cherished numbers, 139. promptly and accurately available. here you are ta

for the ptzu, however, metropolitan epiphanius hopes that such services in the assumption cathedral will be able to be held many more times, but while this issue is being discussed belongs to the moscow patriarchate , because it was given as an indefinite lease back in 2011 by the representatives of the government of mykola azarov, who is currently hiding from ukrainian justice in the russian federation. therefore, so far in the lower lavra representatives of the uoc mp live, but the upper laureate belongs to the state, its buildings belong to the state , and the ministry of culture will be the one to decide the day before about the importance of uniting the ukrainian people on the day of christmas , metropolitan epiphanius reminded us to hear him with us, god is the word in the churches for dinner christmas today, they sound special for each of us, because the confidence in the presence of god next to us and praying to him support the spirit of our defenders of our entire people and bring the victory of the truth closer the events of the nativity of christ teach us that the truth w

and even better, -e predict problems and launch services that will help citizens receive services andlity services more accurately and e-e when the full-scale invasion began we also responded to the needs that began to arise people, for example, quick money in order to evacuate there or, for example, to fix damaged property, and we launched similar services that help to do just that, after that, television, e.e., unemployment assistance, radio , e.e., a lot of information about the place of registration appeared in action that is, many new products for internally displaced persons, that is, obtaining status and changing address and closing status. that is, we began to respond to the problems that arise and thanks to the work we did before that, which we did for 2.5 years touch, we were able to not just somehow stop there and slow down. and we, on the contrary, work even faster. because the service is protected, it does not save personal data, and thus we now launch something new every week. it is possible to make it so that it was, well, let's say it was perceived as an official docum

and closing racial discrimination and financial services -- it was before this hearing.t will be after this hearing. expanding the government is not needed or justified. >> thank you. >> thank, you chair brown. thank you ranking member. and to the committee members as well, i am very happy to be here. i think this is an important topic. i run an organization called the center for equal opportunity. our mission is right there in the name. -- those mentions of more -- i've written and spoken widely on the topic, including before the u.s. congress earlier this year at a hearing on discrimination and civil rights facing -- more fundamentally, i'm a black man from the south. with a vietnamese wife with whom i share, like so many other people in this country, multiracial babies. my primary concern today is how the mission to promote nondiscrimination has carried out. in particular, i'm worried about the decision of the cfpb to utilize disparate impact -- so, let me expand a little bit on what ranking member toomey mentioned about disparate impact. disparate impact -- plaintiff

service, but no, i don’t think that it will take a long time, what is directly highlighted is what haslready been announced, that they have been highlighted, it is quite quick to convey , for the most part, they are a question logistically, this is a question even up to weeks, this happiness can be a question, so here you are literally 20 seconds, it turns out that we have to hold on, this is my happiness during this period, and actually, well, at three, the main task. i understand hold on soledar. hold on a little bit we heard it in february in march in april in may well we need to hold on it's a fact and as for supplies i want to pay attention so that we don't lose sight of the situation that's happening now will happen soon there will be a flurry of wallets in davos and after that rammstein i.e. what we managed did not happen , which will harm us in the future on rammstein. this is the main task of our diplomacy, and i think that in this context we need to work more actively, so let's see, let's hope that the opposite will happen . and the slush managed to help us, it was ihor lapin

you know, service industries. you have companies that are being targeted for maybe policies they're putting out. so really it covered every sector of our society that's impacted by these reports. >> do you have time for one follow-up? i don't know if you do a q&a with 21,000 people. in any of your training, do you hear from people who say, i -- in our community we can't implement this policy because of x, y, z, how do i get over that hurdle? what are the challenges they face and how do you tell them to get over that? lina: which do -- we do see that. we have been consultating with a school who wants to set up a threat assessment program or a workplace or some other organization at the state level. and some of the challenges, really, i think it's one of the most important things, make sure they have buy-in. it has to be from the top-down. it has to be supported. the other, of course, is resources. everyone is challenged with that. and so sometimes we recommend that they pool together resources. some communities are

there is no greenline service, no red line service, and systemwide delays. your car because it is a mess right now, this is what you're looking at on the bay bridge toll plaza. it is going to be 29 minutes to get across the bridge. if you would like to try out the ferry, the next one leaves from oakland at 7:35. all are running on time. you can use ac transitwimwe delt now. from future tower, a thin layer across theghanf ows o sunday a t og fromakout otsleib c. a lot colder compared to this time yesterday. most of us in the 30's, if not low 40's. today partly cloudy. not as warm as we were yesterday. temperatures above average in the upper 50's to lower 60's. tonight we see that fog once again developing, and refined coastal cloud cover. 30's and 40's as we head into the weekend. on sunday at chance of light shower. rainfall estimates are low. not even giving a number on the storm impact scale. that is how weak the syste it will dragon colder air. snow in tahoe one sunday. sunday afternoon and evening we may see chain controls go into effect on some of our r

so no service reductions. i'm going to repeat that, no plan layoff and expedited hiring will continue for vacant positions. and then how we met target we were able to see some benefit of the second propation b. there was some savings as part of that passage and that was in the controller's office letter. and then we were able to, we were able to no longer retain those services because we had a contract gap so we were able to reduce that. that said, we know and hear about the economic challenges downtown. what the future forecast looks like. as of now, these are the cut target but we want to make sure that we're watching and economic any impact that the local level that may force the departments not just not public works to make additional recommendations. but as of now, a pretty good goal. so last slide as i mentioned earlier, the mayor's policy recommendation sxz strategic goals for this budget were to, improve the economy and the economic core in downtown as well as to ensure street cleanliness. we have not

that led to the downing of the helicopter, because in principle these were voiced by the security servicesukraine, the bases and scenarios that are currently being studied . each of them could be the cause, and in principle , those are even on the video. what happened there, it falls under any which scenario. that is, it can be both internal factors and external factors, the author, it can be as a human factor, it can be as a technical side of the issue, it can also be the so-called nc or acts of illegal interference, that is, some external factors that could have led to this today, it's almost impossible. if we talk only about the video, like this map, an analysis of the remains of this helicopter must be carried out. a preliminary analysis of chemical examinations is required. it is necessary to decipher the black spots . some at least the main versions of the causes of the crash; in addition, if we are talking about the causes of the helicopter crash, they are not necessarily the exact causes of the crash, because the aviation investigation itself, which continues as as a rule, from a f

financial services and products have played a critical role in helping many finally build wealth and plan for the future. whether that means saving for college, retirement, or their first home. many americans have been able to do just that. however, not every community has gotten its share of that prosperity. that is especially true for black and brown americans who, too often are shot out of the financial system because of discrimination. let that sink in. in 2022, the united states of america you can be turned away at a bank because of the color of your skin. the wealth and income disparities between white and minority households are a consequence of the unequal access and treatment that minorities are faced from accepting slaves as collateral for loans, jim crow, redlining, and the subprime mortgage practices. -- black and brown americans have never had access to or fair treatment in financial services. today's hearings is an opportunity for this committee to reckon with not only the legacy of discrimination but the current reality of it's pervasive and pernicious discrimination i

for many parishioners with children, it is this service that opens a whole series of festive services precedes christmas time. vladimir putin congratulated the citizens of our country on christmas. night when emotions overwhelm and bright feelings, i want to share with the whole world. light, there is such divine energy here, to be honest, i would say a lot, but tears of joy are already flowing in the heart of every orthodox the joy of the nativity of christ is the beginning of a new era in the history of all mankind, which more than 2,000 years ago gained faith i came from the far east my eyes . they just don't believe that i can do it all. i'm just standing here and i don't want to leave here, the parishioners were striving to contemplate. because of all corners of the country, of course, the cathedral of christ the savior and the harsh january cold are not hindrance with such warmth in the soul. we are in a good mood. e, of course, i really want to heal the choice of the country's main cathedral, snow-white flowers and spruce branches reminded us of the purity of actions and though

budgets for services like public health, which cover everything from stop smoking services to adviceeme pressure. this is what public health in action looks like. hi, i'm caroline from the quit smoking team. anthony is a smoker, but with a fractured foot and shoulders, he's now stuck in gateshead's queen elizabeth hospital. so, how many cigarettes you normally smoke a day? ten at the most. so, carol, one of the hospital's stop smoking advisers, sees a chance to help anthony quit. we can offer you some patches for your arm, and we can give you, like, an inhalator. you know, it's something to do with your hands. that's full of nicotine as well. carol herself gave up smoking five years ago. she understands how hard it can be. if i can do it, anybody can. and i did it, so you can as well. and she fears what might happen if this kind of service didn't exist. i just think people will die sooner, because they're not getting the support that they need. and i think now if we're educating the grannies, the mothers, they're going to educate their children not to smoke as well, because it's them

i'm proud to be a co-sponsor of chairman brown fair access to financial services act. in my view, in order to root out discrimination and promote equitable action, we need to start at the top with our regulators. right now, there is a staggering lack of diversity. it enhances the rules of the financial system. these critical decisions are being made. i would like to ask, what are the consequences of under representation of minority regulation under -- >> i am happy to start off their, senator menendez. thank you for the question. i think it's critical because bring a diverse representation to the table when rules are being set, creating a more accurate role, it ensures we have the right data brought to bear. that is one of the reasons that we have the foreclosure and financial crisis in 2008. we had the wrong data. we were being informed by the wrong information in the lead up to the crisis. it also makes sure that the rules that we craft are accurate and we are considering how those rules are going to impact all market segments. it's extremely important. >> i would ag

the fire service also struggles to retain and recruit women and people of color. the most recent data from the bureau of labor statistics reported that 11.6% of career firefighters were hispanic or latino, 8.5% were african-american, and 1.3% were asian. the nfpa reported in 2021 that about 3.3% of career firefighters were women, and 2% of volunteer firefighters were women. as dr. moore-merrell mentioned earlier, , we are here to provie solutions in the form of a national fire service strategy. one solution is to invest in a national apprenticeship program to address the shortages of firefighters and make the fire service more diverse and more inclusive. fire service apprenticeship program could mere the registered apprenticeship program and industry recognized apprenticeship program administered by the department of labor. fire departments can benefit from these apprenticeship programs attracting people who might not otherwise considered the fire service originally as the career, or as a way to serve their community. given this challenge, we need to do everything
