they're a nonprofit traditional chinese medicine integrated holistic approach solving medical issues. since 1997 to 2009 i worked as a financial investigator doing many different things regarding terrorist funding et cetera, doing 65, 75 hours a week and realized this was very stressful. i no longer could do it. i've been hiv positive for 21 years now and glad to say that the therapy has allowed me to transcend into the massage therapy field. i work with lgbt seniors on a day-to-day basis. i thank you for your consideration. >> chair kim: thank you, mr. cuffey. next we have jorge rodriguez and kathleen hentges. >> i am jorge rodriguez here from district 9. i work there in the hiv clinic. i have been working with hiv community for the past 17 years. i have been very much involved among all the tasks that we do for our clients in getting political asylum for our clientele. i'm also part now of the gay lgbt aging committee sponsored by -- i was also appointed by the mayor to their hiv task force which i served for about three years. and the good thing about the program is that you are th

it's taking a holistic approach. and i would say all the providers we are providing and have come forward have a holistic sense. not just throwing a service at a person but looking at the whole family. >> who should come? >> everyone should come. not just alameda county residents, but everyone. these issues cross -- certainly cultural barriers, county barriers, city barriers. everyone is invited. children, family, services if you want to participate. you can build a network with other providers doing similar work. >> i was talking to someone and saying if you don't take care of the folks now we'll have to take care of them on the back end in the emergency rooms. that can be more dire for the patient and more expensive for the taxpayer. >> absolutely. public health is very prevention, you know, focused. and i feel as we all should be, if you don't take care of a situation or illness now it will get worse. it's just a matter of time. i agree with you. >> we should get the screening. it's at alameda county. september 15

it's an urgent necessity that we start looking at things in holistic ways. a meeting of the biosphere of the water board. we had 60 people here from the assemblyf costa rica. >> it was 40 years old last year. it has 580 people globally recognizing the demonstration that sustainable development can happen together with conservation and with education and knowledge. >> the word "reserve" raises up a lot of tension in people. it means another restriction to do what i want to do. and that's not the case. and we have to make people, especially people in government, we have to make them ecoliterate. i don't want to stop the development. i just hope that the focus of that development goes more to a sustainable type of development. >> juan has an incredible ability to realize a vision, and in this case with rancho margot, he has taken the idea of creating a farm and making it come true. >> we're creating a teaching land, dedicated to teaching principles, a permanent culture of development. what does that mean? we have 400 acres. on 400 acres, if i put a hundred home

open spaces within the downtown core that are utilized to look at it more holistically makes sense. the hearing that -- you mentioned the mexican museum, any other sort of projects that might be in the immediate future to look at the total impact we are talking about, not just impact related to the plan area but any other zoning in the area we can anticipate. i think that is one of the things that people are concerned about and how they can't look at this overall. i would agree that, you know, moving shadow budgets is not something we take lightly. i'm a person that always goes to whereever the sun is in an open space. i know we have to balance, you know, our needs. for example, the plan area and the fact that we don't have other ways to fund the improvements that we need to the transportation system or create new open spaces. i realize it is a pull. for a great dialogue it is useful to look at the full picture. i think you have done a great job to get us to that place. if we can look a little further, taking into consideration other projects in that general area so we can look at i

the need to bring this into a holistic approach. what we have been doing under our solutions for the i brand, we have m brand, which is the most powerful actor in the alphabet. those products are well known. but the i brand is just coming. those vehicles are well into development now. the i 3 and i8 will be launched next year. they are carbon fiber and that will be made, not in this state, but just up the way in washington state. using fully environmentally sustainable energy. carbon fiber prevention will be shipped to our factories in europe or will be make carbon fiber cars. it is about 50% like you're than steel, 20% lighter than allen minium. you need the batteries ms. -- which makes the efficiency much more credible and also a strong business case. this part of the united states will play a strong part in the development of these vehicles. as well as we also started a venture firm. the venture fund operates out of new york. it started 15 months ago, we made our first investment in a company called my city way, which is working

we need to think of at holistic play as a public-health problem. not as a rush also the people who are selling and people are selling a rock to a police officer pretending to be an addict. all those people need help. >> i think that have given my all for the cause. i will leave it to george to put the capper on it. >> what is the sanction for opposing -- he is one of your members. >> he is and he is a valued member of the association. as an elected official, he is entitled to his own opinion. >> thank you. i have to say that, i want to think marty for coming here. he knew he was coming into this. i want to repeat. i am in the minority in the association. i think concerning this item, it is important for me and all of us to recognize there are ballot points of view. if we're serious about developing solutions that work for all of us, we have to entertain those points of view and tried to reach consensus. that is the only one that we will create a workable, sustainable solutions. all we're doing is spinning our wheels. my reason for being here is bec

it's all part of the school's holistic approach. >> basically, that's at the heart of our philosophy:veryone should have a place where they feel comfortable and can further their their own talents. no one is superfluous. no one should be shut out of society just because he's different or has problems. all young people possess great potential which we want to develop together. >> mary anne mÜller prieto is a buddhist. once a week she gives classes in meditation and yoga. but she doesn't do it to convert people to her religion. instead she hopes to show her pupils how to resolve their inner conflicts. most of the young people here find this tough to do. and that proves a big challenge for the school's director. >> we can't change these children's world: the poor neighborhoods they grow up in. what we can do is to ensure that they make the right decisions in life. >> the concept appears to be working. some 400 pupils attend the school each year and none drop out. and half of the graduates are accepted at universities throughout chile. >> and we'll be back next week with more ideas for fo

so that speaks to the fact that you a more holistic approach. >> at the end of the day, the real bigem is there is a simplistic notion that individual teachers can do it all, and they don't even listen to what we say we need for us to do our job. we need to focus on instruction and the needs of the children. educate the whole child. that is not an excuse. it is finding ways to make sure we mitigate poverty and we have done it in other places. in cincinnati we have wrap around services around schools that help educate the whole child and make sure kids are taken care of after school, to help make sure kids have a good nourished meal, that they have health care, and that is one of the things that people raised in chicago. conditioning a lot. that's to ensure that in schools a third of which start in chicago in the summer that they are not sweltering so we are actually able to help kids learn, rather than see kids faint. >> eliot: one of the other interesting facts in a david brooks column today which sounds remarkably similar to you, three-quarters of the kids who graduated from the ki
