responsibility on the part of russian society, such that in russia there will be a leader who, like willie brown, will kneel down and ask for forgiveness, then it is possible in a far-sighted perspective, there will be a certain warming in relations 80 the foreseeable future if viewed from the estonian perspective you cannot distinguish between normal relations on the one hand and all the atrocities that took place on the other, you cannot live with eyes wide closed thank you and now let's move on to the current issues of each week with there is news that nato fighter jets are intercepting russian planes near estonia , what do you think about this what is the signal that moscow is trying to send to the valley and why are the russians making such dangerous maneuvers playing to intimidate is essentially a game theory in which they do not perceive us as a strong player and also demonstrate that they can afford such maneuvers on nato territory naturator the situation is similar to what happened to the drone from the usa in the black sea -e er somewhere eventus is calm , although this is not the only

i was working under mayor willie brown. and uh huh. i had you were bringing some dancers from china to come and do this collaboration and we had to find a place for them to say on treasure island. when i heard the florence fang was coming, and i had to give her the florence bang was coming and i had to give her to her. i actually, um, told my grandmother i had to buy a new suit. because i had to look good and be ready for her because it's lauren thing. now the thing about her and what i've learned over the years becoming, you know just someone that has developed a relationship with her. is she was this woman who i saw as that person way up there. but when you interact with her she everyone is on her level and how she treats people with kindness with respect and also a genuine desire to want to get to know you and to want to help and to want to support community. she is probably been the most significant ambassador of china us relations that has ever existed. she has done it with. presidents of. different parties , bridging that gap and

yesterday the planning department has a discussion with former mayor willie brown and president tannerpart of the conclusion of black history month in february, and i don't know if any of the commissioners were able to attend that very interesting and informative meeting but it was great. i attended through online and it just really made me realize how important life experiences are as mayor brown talked about his first week here in san francisco and just how different that was to his hometown back in texas. as he visited san francisco he was welcome by his church and was able to walk around the neighborhood without the fear that he once felt back in texas. it really brought to light his own personal experiences about really pushing for racial and social equity. he also talked about his getting in line at rotc at san francisco state and being with a guy named john burton. i happen to know that guy, but john burton has been mayor brown's friend from the 60s until this day. there is never an event that john burton has had that the mayor has not participated in it. it shows the strong fri

contribute to 9 crises that is through the values of institution and the governance structure mayor willie brown to employ. those folks with the oversight commission will not be a center bank but residents of san francisco working in the district they have a need and know what the needs are - what needs san francisco needs the most i'm sorry. so all points the difference between whether is currently heaping more public accountability more transparency and more democracy in the bapg world especially in san francisco that caterers to the world and the other question and after this is existing you asked the question this is what group one of the choices they're considering one given the need for the institution to turn a profit one three years should we on do participation lending? essentially work with the - like christen said makes it easier to turn a profit. if we participation levend or don't which of the many products proposed do we choose to start with with that $20 million we can give $21 million loan and taking into account the costs of running the organization or the exit where do we inves

and mayor willie brown signed it into law on march 28, 1996, resolving that it is the policy at the board of supervisor of the city and county of san francisco to call in telephone system, we developed to make public comment to increase public conversation and city development. i'm asking verbally for a reasonable accommodation because of my speech difficulties. i cannot stay on the phone until you get the item number 18, but i want to encourage the retirement board to take the lead in increasing public participation in city government by retaining the dial-in remote phone system after march 1st. many many retirees are simply enable or disabled to be attend coming down to market street for their input in meetings. so it's really critical that you consider extending the remote call-in beyond the end of february and going forward. i can't imagine that it could be cost-prohibited. i would assume the cost are nominal considering the amount of money that you take out of retirement system to fund, paying for retirement department employees. so this cost would be negligentable and i urge you as

willies and they're spirits, or you're an animal or something like that." and so the point is to take away the shine so you look less human. so i said, "why can't i have brownon my face and i'm still me?" and the conversation became, "well, okay, that makes sense." and it was just kind of like that. and we don't really do that anymore when it comes to the second-act ballets for dancers that don't have white skin. >> one of the many ways you've left an imprint. you write about the joy of finally being able to be cast in "swan lake." >> mm-hmm. >> this is the most important role in ballet, and it's because one dancer performs odette, the good white swan, and odile, the evil black swan. but even that seems like pretty poignant symbolism. >> yeah. [ chuckles ] yeah, it is. people, i think, don't really think about that symbolism and what that means. but it was a huge and amazing opportunity to be able to be performing as the black and the white swan as a black woman. >> yeah. >> because black women are typically not cast as the white swan. and it's always been told to us that, you know, "a black woman can't perform the white swan." and my pushback has always be
