etc join my old company so my new career was as an old man it was accidental that we then became what we did become which was you know the number one private military company in africa so it was a manufacturer the main difference between your work as a mercenary and between being an officer in british special forces. i would actually say no because when you find yourself in war was purely for money or mainly for money then there are a lot of things which become extremely difficult. which which are issues which are problems which you do not have if you are. in a in a normal sovereign state military fourth so what issues are those. well for example you might find yourself having to make a decision as to whether we have three helicopters in an operational theater or two . if it's three the cost of that helicopter and operating it coming straight out of your pocket if you are one of the owners of that company. now you know you could probably get away with two but the lack of that is very likely to lead to. you know quite probably the death of one of you your soldiers say what you what you

it seems like the law is the law and our laws in san francisco maybe path, etc. pointed out by john king in the chronicle but i appreciate the work to make this building beautiful particularly after it's been deterring lick for so many years and it will be a shame to see this building as the center piece of another john king article saying that the public didn't know how we get here it would be so contrary to the direction in which the gentlemen are going i really want to ask the developer and i see mr. hell letter is coming to the lectern let the public know so they can enjoy the high quality of work >> we were discussing that a little bit. i think we completely agree with that for a couple of reasons it's essentially mandated by the fact we have publicly assessable open space inside which is required. and the - in my case the entire element while not required will be some kind of public lobby or a function that the public has access so the building will be open during open business hours with every scheme with respect to the tenants a way to the office building

the broader picture about new technology spying on new technology etc etc we've all said things privately to other people that maybe don't actually make just a need to the moment blowing off steam maybe we should give the guy a break here know and what does it say about the wider implications of diplomatic conversations being blown wide open. well nobody is suggesting that everything that one says in private is necessarily one hundred percent representative of one's personal feelings but i think that the leaked recording of a private conversation one in which you have finally an unguarded moment from the foreign minister of poland i think this is quite revealing and i think as the russians have said in recent days that it reveals at a very deep level what the political and geo political and diplomatic mentality is within poland day understand perfectly well that the united states wants to use them as a puppet in eastern europe to use them as a wedge against russia but they thought that they would be getting something heavier in return and because they haven't there is a a deep feeling of

any exterior wall 30's hospital to be 5 inches in thickness including the framing and exterior covers etcand even their surveyor came back with an inch and a quarter for the property line does that mean my my time is up and 30 seconds >> 30 seconds they didn't mention envying anything about our east property line we did a survey and merely because a piece of flashing extended over and, in fact, on their east property line their house. >> you can finish. >> over our property line but a half of an inch. >> okay. thank you. >> thank you. >> you'll have more time. >> mr. duffey. >> commissioners. from reading the brief last night and then speaking to staff at dbi when you read the first page of the brief this is not how we want projects to happen is an under statement. what i did find out today from speaking to the senior inspector better known many there was problems obviously at the start and of the project whenever they framed i believe nooindz is that the appellants that building could be leon e leaning and when they started the frame at the bottom so when they went up the wall the leanin

., etc., etc. it didn't seem like mr. sin country feels any obligation to follow any aspect of the law we come back case by case and issue after issue you sit up there and look like a bunch of no see no evil and speak no evil monkeys. i believe the members of the ethics commission need to give the executive director to be as open as possible. i don't think you're going to do that you like the fact he keeps everything hidden so this constant refrain you're not trying to hide everything you are. it's rather than stupid to sit up there and say you're not trying hide something your successful you won't thrills what the 4 or 3 cases if you want to complete the first two and the only reason you did mr. gross man because he won't call you hide and hide and hide and if there's my any member of the public don't that that's the truth they should come here. you notice people don't bother to come here they know you're a bunch of politicians that are appointed by the politicians your supposed to hold accountabl

we can purchase movie tickets, buy goods, etc.etely interactive on ad networks, social media and etc. so this is just one of the super simple examples with a kind of a common character that we've seen. so i want to just dive into what that looks like. this is the adventure platform. so this is, this is actually something that's been in the market since last year where we work with brands and advertisers and enterprises to basically make this premium sewer active, these premium experiences. now, we launched this to the public about two weeks ago. anyone here can go on adventure.tv, and you can start creating this for free. so this is the spider-man video that we just saw. this is literally -- i think people feel that it's a complex thing to create, but literally as simple as drag and drop, one click, two clicks, now we've added a third choice here at the beginning, right? now we can go in here, and we -- where butt betons are, graphics, etc. social media messaging and all that. so we can take this out. so what's interesting here, t

etc etc why isn't brussels putting more pressure on ukraine right now to at least try a major the middle with the russian side. you see that is the big big problem of the e.u. people have with their governments because they conduct a kind of high treason policy in effect by and not you know heeding the true interests of the european people but following washington in a very stupid and uses useless way and for that reason i think the e.u. is by its strange governments not putting any pressure on kiev which would be very easy in the well of they hope it will be some last minute reprieve here or not well i'm sure they've got a contingency plan now. i think what happens now is that russell makes the choice and it's not a choice between the you know more losing more money or being the bad guy because the bad guy question fact is decided in the media russia decides to make a media campaign the picture will be different from bad guy and in fact the main thing is to stop losing money now switch off the gas go to a prepaid system in summer is respected much more than in the starting to do that an

., etc.. >> my name is mary and i'm an independent observer. we are talking about peace but i'm getting the impression that you are actually promoting or justifying war. and i think you are making an error in making the assumption that the natural state of one species is to stay in the actual state of conflict rather perpetual conflict treated as a matter of fact there are think studies and i don't remember the name of the psychologists in the study but it was presented to present lincoln. like i said i don't remember the names but it did state specifically that the natural state in a rational society especially an educated society like america, and i think we are in a higher state of education around the world now, that the natural state of the species is actually to protect, to love your offspring and to protect it i guess maybe that's an impulse that is more common to women and that's the natural state that you are a guest promoting or justifying is based in the fact that there just haven't been enough women in the position specifically beca

those are the recreation spaces in san francisco tennis courts, golf course and basketball courts, etc. so this is the map. let me ask you this. why we it out how howl we're doing with parks how about recreation can you answer that question because there is no standard in the rose for recreation space up in the former rose they refer to the standards recreation park association which day with our increasing population we should are 40 swimming pools we have 9. 4 hundred tennis court barrel a hundred now so the more you add people more demands on recreation the less the supply and the less budget don't accept the rose without those standards. thank you >> thank you mr. kelly. >> hello good afternoon, supervisors i'm kelly the presidential with the bay area for the trust for public land that's a national organization to make sure that everyone has a park and garden and playground trails within 10 minutes of their homes it is across the ccii country we know first hand what it means to set up the communities. by poorn with the rec and park department we've helped to renovate and create par

., etc. we can provide it to you >> maybe inadmissible provide it to the commission secretary. >> very well. >> commissioner antonini. >> just a question of the street widths for the benefit of the public. i think you said what the width of the green streets was going to be and how wide is that >> they provide a anytime of 26 feet unobstructed travel for the fire department but range if i might have to bring any colleague up but from 26 probably up to you know where you have a 4 lane configuration you've got something more in the order of 40 or 50 feet clear unobstructed. >> 26 allowing for parking on the side. >> that's correct. >> and the red streets how wide and less than 26 feet between 20 and 22. >> okay. so giving me an example so i'm thinking about fourth avenue between ann district attorney and balboa or the richmond streets how wide are those usable space. >> i have to defer to planning staff, you know, adam. >> i live between balboa and the wiethd is probably about 25 and thirty fee

without the coalition of homelessness etc. it's all in the community you've got to work together that's all you'll be able to make a difference. thank you. thanks for your organizations incredible work in our city. >> next speaker. >> come on up. >> good morning dr. espanola jackson. you know, i sit and watch to see your moves and things and give me two minutes to speak. but i have brought information to you to this committee and i know you've received it and it deals with hud section 3 of the what this city do not follow it does not follow nothing for the people of san francisco. so i know you've got the solutions we've had the solution for the citizens of san francisco but this city is not following it. number one there the hud guidelines a that'll i'll get that information to you because when you first became a supervisor it city do in a a compliance officer to make sure things get done and when i look at the agenda number one, number 5 and number 6 and 7 they should all been together because of the fact it deals with with

this content is interactive on ad networks and social media etc..one super simple example with the common character that we have seen so i want to dive into what that looks like. this is the venture platform. so this is actually something that has been in the market since last year when we worked with rants and advertisers and enterprises to basically make this premium interactive, premium experiences. we launched this to the public about two weeks ago so anyone here can go on adventure .tv for free. this is the spiderman video that we just saw. this is literally i think people feel it's a complex thing to create with literally a drop, one and two clips and now we have added a third choice at the beginning. now we go here and we edit. social media messaging and all that. so we will take this out. but it's interesting here and this is obviously working on the engagement side. we start as the internet use that data to empower the experience. so here we get channel performance and how different web sites are performing in terms of using the duration an

we have huge, significant mprovements in technology, training, etc. but so much of what we do is labor intensive. when you look at all the technology and many of you travel extensively and go through the ports -- i hope you are a global entry member, by the way -- it is so fascinating to see all of the technology that is so helpful. it is also so fascinating to see and experience a knowledgeable cbpo that is there recognizing the importance of their mission to protect this country, but also having the skills to be able to identify. every single day when i mentioned those significant seizures of cash narcotics and others, the prohibiting of people who should not come to the united states, a lot of that is based upon the work and skill set that those people have. the more we do to improve their training and development and recognizing their performance and thanking them, the better off we all are. we are going to expand our ability within cbp with a large organization to let people know about career path opportunities and perhaps additional training and

i, etc. so that says something. bert williams was an early recruiter and close to william haven and then we have charles young who should have been the first but commander of the regiment in the first commander period and was out of active duty and restored to active duty after the war in and dyed it africa when he is about to beef for africa anodize 1923. then we see a shot of the men of the national guard which was the result -- original designation. you need to get the book to know he killed somebody in almost destroyed the regiment with his court martial. there we have the men in the trenches with their french helmets', a french equipment but american uniforms and we will see the of rifles and grenade launchers at the bottom have henry johnson and nina of robbers. by the way his application for the medal of honor has passed muster with the secretary of the army now on the secretary of defense desk, chuck hagel as well as the chief of staff or the army chief of staff to see if henry johnson will get a medal of ho

regulators around the globe were concerned about terrorists, etc. can't do that. if you stop doing that, the ngo community raises their hand and says, wait a second. depend on us to live. you can't just cut it off. the collaboration is working through and inventing a workaround solution. but a great example of this sort of academic -- if only you were academic. it is the real world youhe extreme case where get direct policy trade-offs with two laudable, but conflicting objectives. to importantgo question of something we heard earlier today about the potential overuse of some of these tools, perhaps even overburdening the private sector. you think we have reached a tipping point perhaps where we are asking the private sector are to do too much and where we king, it is affecting some of the public policy in schools of financial inclusion which may be in direct opposition to the tools of financial exclusion, which are the stock in trade of tfi. what to think about that? >> this is a subject that there is continued scrutiny. you almost need to look at them, almost eve

we have been make in decisions about force structure basing investments etc. etc., looking to rush as a partner. now what we see is a very different situation. so i think it was illustrative to just take for example what happened on the ukrainian border just some weeks ago. 28 battalion task groups combined arms force there with the air and land forces integrated well. that gives us a good idea to think about what we might face in the future and gives us a baseline for that conversation about what should be our capacity and capability both inside and u.s. forces in europe. >> kai. i am with air force magazine. i am in the same vein wanted to know if you could tell us whether we can expect the esc to give the -- to be completed and also how much more the air force can expect to be impacted. >> i wouldn't want to answer for ose until it's completed. i think it's relatively soon and i have seen some of the air plans results. as far as the changes for europe or as far as the air force is that what you're asking? i think the budget details have been released and we

etc. but it occurs to me i have never done anything about my own people. not to mention the fact that the six day war is an incredible story in terms of purely military terms it ranks with gettysburg or anything like that but beyond that, it is a great story because it is a story of return from exile and the climactic moment, i will get into that. that was -- i decided -- this was three years ago, paul knows about this kids he was with me all the way on this. the first thing i did. i had never been to israel, didn't speak hebrew, knew nothing about it so i called my friend david lives not far from here and how the hoodie you know in israel that is connected in military struggle so i can go over there and come by my house this friday and i will introduce you to somebody and standing there, too bad we don't have the capacity to project any thing, a picture of a fighter pilot. so meeting at david's house, lou who lived in venice, he was 92 or 91 years old at the time, he had been a marine corsair fighter pilot on okinawa in world war 1 -- world war ii, a hero

the regions, national governments, etc.. so until we have built with this whole question of the companies buying the elections in the u.s. isn't going to continue to fall further behind. it may come up with ideas but if you were in an old energy system and the old centralized economy based on the vertically integrated companies, it's possible that the u.s. and canada will be second-tier countries in 30 years from now. we told th pulled the power utiy companies they have to uncouple. in europe we are having a huge discussion about data security. we want to make sure the data isn't use used enough interest e begin to develop a very detailed article that makes sure the privacy of secure. >> host: this country and many countries around the world invested a tremendous amount in nuclear energy. the idea being into the rhetoric at the time sounds very familiar to what you are outlining the idea being that by the year 2,000 that electricity would be the free to become our jolly free and we would sink many millions of dollars to the

we hear of any number of threats, epidemics, pandemics, etc. do we face many problems?there is no question, we face a myriad of problems, and i could spend the rest of the day standing here and explaining even just a few of them. yes, we face many challenges, no question. cyber war, conflicts from crimea to damascus, pandemics, epidemics, all of these possibilities and, yes, we have millions, even billions of people living in poverty. in india alone 400 million people are living today without electricity. but smaller.l computers, faster communications, lighter engines, denser agriculture and cheaper everything from sanitation and medicine to electricity and transportation has created this revolution in living standards all over the world. we are seeing incredible increases in education, in trade, in development all over the world regardless of whether these countries are -- what their political systems are because that is what we do. we humans are not going to sit around and freeze in the dark. we are going to innovate, and we have done so, and we will continue doing so

we have huge, significant mprovements in technology, training, etc. but so much of what we do is labor intensive. when you look at all the technology and many of you travel extensively and go through the ports -- i hope you are a global entry member, by the way -- it is so fascinating to see all of the technology that is so helpful. it is also so fascinating to see and experience a knowledgeable cbpo that is there recognizing the importance of their mission to protect this country, but also having the skills to be able to identify. every single day when i mentioned those significant seizures of cash narcotics and others, the prohibiting of people who should not come to the united states, a lot of that is based upon the work and skill set that those people have. the more we do to improve their training and development and recognizing their performance and thanking them, the better off we all are. we are going to expand our ability within cbp with a large organization to let people know about career path opportunities and perhaps additional training and

that we have proposition 209, and proposition 209 does speak to any type of hiring goals, or quota, etc. and someone may bring up the fact that the federal government, recently passed legislation, with a hiring goal of 7 percent. but it is interesting to note that that hiring gel is specific to contractors. and it is not to the federal government. and i wonder, i am not sure, but i wonder if the reason for that is because it would be deemed discriminatory by employees and all right? and then the other item that i would like to say is that we cannot survey our employees or applicants regarding a disability, under the advice of our city attorney and that is an invasion of privacy and even if we were to stipulate that it was voluntary, the question would come up, who is going to have access to that data, because someone has to have access to the data if you collect it. and so there could be a presumption then, later on in litigation, that that information was used and a no one selection process and increased the liability to the city and so we don't want to conduct a survey of our applican
