on september 281563 hale sat down to write an american president. her persistence and zeal for the cause was affected in her lett letter, undimmed by the fact that her youngest daughter, had died the previous may. her letter was businesslike and some had the support of key to governors and some reported the friend of her secretary of state, william seward read her letter clearly sets out the importance of the role that her president had to play in this automation. the president must've been very impressed with missus hale's presentation of her case, less than one week following her letter the president issued a proclamation that urged americans to observe the last thursday in november as a day of thanksgiving. hale was delighted that her work to secure a top-level endorsement for the national day of thanksgiving was complete with lincoln's signature and unambiguous proclamation. it wasn't tangible step on the path towards bringing the nation together for another, under lincoln's leadership. finally, as i said, i would like to comment briefly on qual

sarah josepha hale advocated for a national day of thanksgiving. robert plumb is the author of your brother in arms a union soldier's odyssey and has written for the montgomery county society journal, the "washington post," and the "washington post" magazine among others. please join me in welcoming to politics and prose robert plumb. [applause] thank you very much for that kind and warm introduction. i feel like it is if you are a musician and you get invited to play at carnegie hall if you are invited to talk about your book it is really wonderful. it's especially wonderful for me because this book was released march 1 which most of you know march is women's history month and also that coincides with the hundredth anniversary of the signing of the 19th amendment. unfortunately the five women i'm going to talk about died earlier in the 20th century, so they never got the chance to vote, but certainly the things they did during the course of the american civil war paved the way for suffrage that came later after the 20th century. what i'm going to

so the least well known of those i have mentioned is sarah hale back in the mid- 18 hundreds was famous because she was the successful editor of a women's magazine first the women's journal and also also of attracting american writers and she paid them back in those days that ran up the copyright lose one - - laws that were pretty loose. using her magazine as the launching platform. believing that they needed to be educated in colleges and then to establish the college and also raised money for the mount vernon ladies association and then to fall in great disrepair. woman's advocate but also very much it's the only one i was talking about board in the 17 hundreds right after washington took office and had an older version of what was appropriate in the way of women's rights. i would like to read some sections of the book and then follow that with my listing of characteristics that allow them to do the things that they do and did. starting with harriet tubman who across the mason-dixon line into pennsylvania and freedom after an arduous journey alone. accomplish with courage and skill la

sarah josepha hale was widowed at age 39, never married again.he only person, the man who eventually got her book, her magazine, geode they why. she could have gone to another book and had another publisher who would have been just as supportive, helpful, not detracting. >> thank you. i am not going to pursue it by changing a little bit. and i am wondering. are there any women in the south. and and and in sprint or wherever. it is against tremendous odds. and are you aware of any women, and women spoke out. >> i'm not. i did attend a workshop in yale, the abolitionist's daughter. nothing -- i don't want to say cursor fee, an extensive look at the people who were abolitionist but i didn't turn up any. >> from charleston, south carolina. >> yes, i believe. >> thank you. >> you are welcome. >> i like your next book. >> you took the words out of my mouth. >> your timing is perfect with national women's day tomorrow. wonderful. i had a question for you. when you started your research on this book was this the book you envisioned or did it evolve into

so miss hale, i have a question for you. do you have a rough sense of what percent of our renewable energy portfolio will be produced in city before and after the development of these projects? i see that you gave us a chart here on page 9 that shows 20% local content. but i'm wondering after the sites that you have mentioned as high -- i guess rated very highly that it's doable and cost-effective, do you have a rough sense of what percent it would be of our renewable portfolio? >> it's difficult to nail down that, that number as i stand here. but it's probably in the 10% to 15% as opposed to the 20% to 30% would be my guesstimate knowing what i know today. and i would remark in the response to the concern about what's not in this report that that this report just looks at the local renewable energy opportunity. the integrated resource plan, which will fold this report in, covers energy efficiency and demand-side management and the broader issues that address how we get to 100% renewable. that is a 20-year plan. the city's g

hale? assistant general manager for power. under this item, you would be identifying priorities for -- key priorities that need to be satisfied for the city to move forward on the proposed acquisition of pg&e's transmission and distribution of assets serving san francisco. those key priorities address financial stability, support for utility workforces, community and worker safety, climate change prevention and mitigation, affordability and equity, operational excellence and improved service to city departments. happy to take any questions you may have regarding the item. it's responsive to an interest i believe on behalf of the commissioners to express some additional guidance to staff and it's also quite consistent with a public resolution heard at land use committee yesterday of the board of supervisors, which addresses some of the same key priorities from the board's perspective. happy to take any questions. >> president caen: at that meeting, were there any comments or suggestions about changing it? or -- >> no. the commi

but there are a lot there's a long way to go before we're going to get a deal here and i share my hales skepticism that next week we're going to have something else that stopped i mean we live in unprecedented times you never know but what i think we're or quite pessimistic the deal is going to happen in the short term is going to take some time if one is even possible and mikhail is russia in a better position than noting your skepticism your pessimism about any deal is russian a better position to ride this out than the saudis cash wise. well. russia is depleting its surface over unfun because of the russian buds of the has been the draft the well afford new price of oil over $42.40 a sense if the price is all were the proceeds go into the sort of fons it even the price is below all that. will limit their additional cash what the bugs are easily be in taken out of the summer and fall and or there are over world speculations about how long it can last some of the people in the finance minister said say well who may need some other for 6 years but in their oil industry there is a 100000

the defense had always argued that it was not sufficient tucked hale to commit the offense is between a high over that timothy after the sunday mass when he was fairly in the congregation on the cathedral steps and his returned to the sacristy where the alleged offense were supposed to have taken place that is the crux that caught the case and they are the judges clearly found in a girl's fate or with george brown had also been used as a symbol of the wrongs of the catholic church what are supporters of abuse victims saying about his acquittal. well this is clearly and remains a highly contentious issue in australia many victims of sexual abuse regarded girls conviction as just deserts full of archbishop of melbourne and sydney but others have argued the pale has been turned into a scapegoat or whipping boy for the wrongdoings of others on the other hand the lawyer acting for the father of one of the alleged victims said today a client was in shock and he was furious about the acquittal and the child abuse survivors network in australia said it was displayed and heartbroken that cargo

would be compatible with the idea that you would have droplets trapped in the gaseous cloud when we ex haleen we exhale and breathe out when we cough, when we sneeze, and basically in the environment. another piece of the puzzle that came out recently is that potentially you could have persistence when experiments are done in the lab of persistence of the ability of the virus to infect remain alive for up to three hours. these experiments we are doing in the lab, there are all sorts of differences in what can be donein of differences in what can be done in the field but these are all pieces of the puzzle that when put together, suggest that in terms of potential routs of transmission, at least in indoor spaces, in healthcare settings we need to be conscious of the fact that there is not potentially a virtual wall of two metres where healthcare workers are safe in front of a patient, and that potentially that pathogen 01’ that potentially that pathogen or virus containing these drops could be infected into the surrounding space. it is really interesting because we always hear about the two m

he was hung which was pay back for the hanging of nathan hale. he had two long visits of about a month each. i mention it now so you can think about how washington and hamilton were responding when they were here the second time. if these walls could talk. it is a final turning point. it is a beautiful mansion there, a beautiful brick mansion, and then hamilton gets field command, washington's orders, the companies for the first and second order will form a battalion. after the formation, they enjoy the advanced core. there will be four light infantry commanders. he works with john lawrence. in the center is an illustration of new hampshire. now the complication here is that alexander skamel in the middle is killed in new york down, killed in the surprise attack. he is shot in the back, mortally wounded, and he writes in his dieing words to take over the battalion. the three of them knew each other well, and the unfortunate twist of fate is that he decided he wants to aide someone else. alexander hamilton will be tasked with a lead -- he is helpi

well yes so hale and this comes after a group of residents came out in one of the bigger cities here basically had like a lightning protest saying that they had not received any food or any sort of assistance from a local mayor here that has triggered a massive arrest more than 20 were arrested yesterday here in manila and a few hours later the president appeared in the recorded message basically threatening and giving clearance for police to shoot anybody that would value violate his clearance or his lockdown. rules here across the region of luzon now rights groups are saying basically that the problem with the government is that it is approaching this pandemic mainly through law enforcement according to police more than 17000 filipinos have already been arrested since the lockdown more than 2 weeks ago many are arrested for minor offenses such as violation of curfew manipulation of prices and hoarding but you know largely this has been accepted by the public except that on social media there have been videos coming out of police hitting civilians with sticks threatening to shoot th

some of the showers heavy, with hale and thunder. gusty winds too.nchored right above the uk. now, stronger winds gradually easing down across the south. the low—pressure system slowly pushing towards the north sea, so that'll be taking some of the heavier showers eastwards. so, as we head through tonight — again, clear spells, patchy cloud and further showers, most of these through central and northern areas. but because of the breeze, cloud and showers around, it shouldn't be too cold anywhere. lows of 4—7d. now, low pressure's still with us on into friday as well. it's positioned a little bit different, more towards the north sea, so it's the northern half of the uk which will see the focus of the heavy showers through the day. further south, we could actually see quite a lot of dry weather around, bar the odd shower into the afternoon. it looks like it'll be largely dry, with lighter winds here. but further north, northern england, scotland, northern ireland could see some heavy showers. again, some of these could be heavy, with some hale and thu

singapore had been haled as the great success story in fighting the coronavirus.hy is it seeing the spike in cases? what's behind that and how is singapore dealing with it? >> reporter: it is, quite as you say, we were hailed as a great success story back in early march when we saw increases in new cases at zero. here we are, 233 cases up and last week a record jump of 287 cases. how did we get here? that's your question. when the coronavirus case was exploding in the united kingdom, singaporean citizens decided to come home. they were being recalled by the government, especially students, for example. a huge population of which are based in the u.k. they were urged by the government, all of those on foreign placements, to come back to the country. they did. what did they do? they brought coronavirus back with them. many of those who had impacted on the situation from the ministry of health because they sent out an alert saying anyone coming back from the u.k. and the u.s. would have to go into a specific quarantine. tourism has been hit. luxury hotels have been u

and he happened to be hung, which was payback for the hanging of nathan hale years earlier.when washington and hamilton were here, it was two long visits of about a month each, july 1780. i mention it now so you can think about how washington and hamilton were responding still to the aftershocks from arnold's treason when they were here the second time. if these walls could talk. here is july 1781. the final turning point. alexander hamilton had got married december 14 to the fetching elizabeth a.k.a. betsy skyler in albany at her dad's beautiful mansion, a beautiful brick mansion like this one. seven months later, hamilton finally gets what he always wanted, a field command. washington's orders. the light companies of the first and second regiments of new york will form a battalion under command of lieutenant colonel hamilton. after the formation, colonel hamilton will join the core under the orders of colonel scammell. he is so happy. there will be four light infantry commanders we need to acquaint ourselves with. we know what alexander hamilton looks like. he works with t

the perfect person was chosen, because the japanese were not accustomed to officials who would be hale farewell type of people. and possibly, for instance, if general eisenhower had been sent as the supreme commander, he might not have commanded the respect that general macarthur did. we were used to his type of personality and i think that was a great help. the other thing general macarthur did which was probably very helpful, and calming the waters in a prewar enemy occupied country, was the fact that he insisted that the emperor position be maintained. even though apparently there were many theories that he should be removed as the emperor of japan. but general macarthur wisely decided that was not necessary and did not do it. >> another question. >> i wonder if brian would explain the map here. brian: i was planning to close with that. my mother asked me about the map here.

as far as the virus transmission concerned, it happens when you ex hale concerned, it happens when yougravity and goes straight to the ground. but the person is talking about here are smiles and cents, and it is a much finer molecular type size a problem and we can sense it far greater distance, but this does not mean there is a transmission risk when exposed to the virus. what about this one from sarah? please can you advise if the virus is killed on surfaces by advise if the virus is killed on su rfa ces by stea m advise if the virus is killed on surfaces by steam cleaning?m advise if the virus is killed on surfaces by steam cleaning? it is. for normal surfaces, that you can wash and wait, if you wash and wipe them with the sort of soap and water model, it is perfectly adequate. if you talk about substances such as the sofa or surfaces you cannot readily clean with water and soap, stea m readily clean with water and soap, steam cleaning will certainly do the trick. one last one, i'm afraid we run out of time. from alan, should family members who provide personal ca re family members
