organic farming isn't that simple. the soil must be prepared using organic fertilizers.t's hard work. many farmers in country side villages confuse natural cultivation with organic farming. he encourages the women to take the organic vegetables and distinguish the difference between these and those they already grow through natural methods. after demonstrating how good organic produce tastes he teaches everyone how to make organic fertilizer. in this village the grentss available are cattle dung and rice husks. the manure and the chaff are mixed together followed by a fertilizeing agent to activate the microbes. the mixture is left to ferment for two weeks before it can be used as organic fertilizer. after his lecture he highlights the benefits of switching to organic cultivation. he and his colleagues spend a week at a time in each village trying to transform the perceptions of local people. for organic farming to succeed as a natural strategy the government also needs to monitor production quality. it's put strict quality control standards into place. 70 kilometers eas

. -- of industrial organizations. the labor federation that formed in the 1930's. so i was reading the huge proceedings of the founding convention of the cio. the congress of industrial organizations which took place in 1938. i came to a moment in these jubilant proceedings -- the re are hundreds of delegates at this huge coliseum in pittsburgh. a former coal miner gets up to the podium and he says, and now i would like to introduce -- these are his words -- the greatest woman of our day. and his words, "the most outstanding liberal." and i think, of course, that is going to be eleanor roosevelt. who else would that be? i go on to read. i think i know who this is going to be. he says -- this former coal miner -- josephine roche. i thought, who? [laughter] what? i was a women's historian. i had long been a women's historian. i was an expert, i thought, in 20th century reform. and i'd never heard of josephine roche. i felt kind of miffed, because i guess i know a thing or two about the greatest woman of the 1930's and i

and not organic.asically, once you find your tea source, keep going back there once you know it's safe. >> i know you're not supposed to boil the water. >> you're basically going to have safe, but you want it at 165, if you boil the water and open the lid and let the steam come out for a couple minutes. >> why do you have to do that with white tea? >> white tea is the least processed of all teas. what you want to do -- it's so delicate that you don't want to actually burn it. so with white and green tea, you want it to be much less than boiling. 165 to 175. >> am i going to get a cup of tea here? >> you're going to get jasmine pearl. >> which is one of my favorites. >> i'm afraid to drink it. but now i understand how i can protect myself. >> exactly. so, you made the first step in finding a clean source. and, you know, it's really empowering for consumers. once they understand what's what, they can actually make great choices. and you asked the question. you had me on and you make great choices. >> we

i am pleased to note that the leaders of these organizations are here today.he commission was chaired by bobby keeney, the president of brown university and n.e.h.'s first chairman, and it included an array of university administrators, scholars librarians and museum directors. interestingly, it included tom watson junior, the second president of i.b.m. and ambassador to the soviet union who knew a thing or two about cultural imagination and technological innovation. the commission had several basic arguments for the establishment of these agencies devoted to arts and humanities that were later used in the founding legislation. i want to mention them briefly. here they are. the humanities embraced the human values of justice, freedom, equality, virtue, beauty and truth. without the deliberate cultivation of these virtues in the public sphere, we risk losing sight of them. american democracy demands that it's citizens understand its history and fundamental principles and values. the humanities promote the kind of cross cultural and multi cultural understanding

julia louis was a force in organized labor. -- louis was a force -- john l lewis was a force in organized labor. >> roche, and a lot of people in the labor movement in the 40's and 50's, were interested in health care. the labor movement was crucial in general, to innovations in health care. in health care, and a whole bright he ways. developing institutions like community clinics, and health insurance, and health services like our banks that -- roche's, they were instrumental in funding research on diseases and injuries that were hers -- workers suffered from. the labor movement is sort of broadly interested in health issues, especially in the 1950's. so roche is a kind of leader in that whole coalition. one of the first moments, when she pops her head back up above the parapet, she has been under the radar for several years, comes in 1958, the very first time she goes public in a long time. it was at a labor health conference, held in 1958 here in washington dc, commemorating the 20th anniversary of the 1938 conference that she had organized and chaired. everybody there is from the labo

the last strategy is a strategy that i oversee directly the organized strategy. and what you see in here in terms of a diagram in the three prong approach that we have. in each strategy there are different sub strategies that actually are performed in order to get to making sure that we have a safer city. under the organized specifically i will concentrate on that since today i was asked to concentrate on that violence prevention work. we are charged under the office of violence prevention services to actually make sure that we organize social service agencies and we work closely with city departments and key stakeholders to identify any gapies in service and we look at goals identified by our departments and public safety partners and we keep track there are correlations among the city and look how trends are changing given the impact of services. we are charged with a strategy and make sure any victim of homicides, shootings or activated assaults get these services and we have 14 city departments that come on a regular basis and we basically discuss any inciden

organizations nationwide. some of them are more regional, but really all of the women's organizations, and so my board was nine ceos of women's organizations. all across the board struggling for resources. the fact is report put out in 2006, where's the money for women's rights? it traces globally, put out by a canadian or cassation, traces how there's only been a restriction in funding for women's rights work globally. a lot of reasons for that. it has to do with the growth of religious extremism in the global south and global beast, and so the north, the global north and global west funders begin diverting resources to those stressed communities where women and girls were not getting basic health care at all and not getting water in their communities and so forth. so there's a shift of resources. women in the north and west have really struggled. that's one piece, but the other piece is galloping inequality. i really think that the entire progressive movement has been hurt seriously by galloping inequality.

like charlie said, i am a staff organizer.then got involved in the union and came here. lisa asked me to set her up because i grabbed i grabbed her at the last minute after a brutal shift at the casino and asked her to come work here at the last minute. i will do a little bit of intro before she tells her story. for me, one of the reasons i got involved in the unions in the 1st place, i grew up in west virginia and when working in a casino it is like a bizarre look into the mentality of american capitalism. like,. like, it is right there with the volume cranked up to 11. and they do not contribute much at all to the communities they are in. you know, tax dollars that skimmed off and go to programs, which is nice but for the most part there is not much else unless we make them engines for good family sustaining jobs. we represent all the casinos in the region. there is a wide disparity between hospitality workers and the folks at the rivers have when they 1st opened up even though it is the largest facility of its type in the e

number two, our capabilities as an organization had changed as well.d three equally important, was there was this convergence on transnational criminal organizations and terrorism. and we need to figure out how we were going to prepare the organization and prepare our defenses on the border against these emergeing threats. that's what started this strategic shift. so as many of you probably saw, we published the strategy in the spring of 2012 and moved quickly to implementation. one of the criticisms from gao at the time was the border patrol doesn't have a timeline for implementation, they don't have a plan for implementation. what was happening was changing our operations as we were developing the strategy. we were going to weigh it as a procedure or a process but we wanted to move forward very quickly, and as we were learning about our strategic shift, we were making operational adjustments on the fly. we did that throughout. we didn't stop and have an 1450i68 18-month planning session to do another 18 months of implementation. it was about that tim

in fact it's not a peripheral organ.

every other organization has that. i think from a postal service perspective we've had a great group of governors, little short right now. we need some positions filled. but they always displayed a great responsibility and understanding where the mailers are coming from as well as the postal service as well as the american public in this whole equation. >> if i can follow up. >> sure. >> in new jersey right now there's legislature that introduced do not mail legislation like do-not-call. people talk about junk mail. they do not want. -- want it. if you were giving full pricing and i know i'm asking you to crystal ball this. how do you see that working in concert with the fact that marketing by mail is getting -- is so expensive and if it gets more expensive, people go to the internet. >> i think -- i would tell you it should be performance based pricing. that's where we should go. in today's world you can measure everything. you know that at that lot of the people that are investing in mail today are also investing in

and all the instincts that organize to it. and yet it's an unstable combination, and we're constantly driven from one toward one extreme or toward the other, back and forth, and it cannot ever settle down and be stable. and we've come, we have a word for that, that's called conscience. the conscience. and it is a source of so much of our creativity in the creative heart, our stories much of our art, our music, our jurisprudence deals with the conflict of these two impulses that created us. and that's the explanation that i think is emerging from biology. >> and i wanted to, i'm glad you brought up that struggle and how that informs the humanities because i wanted to ask um, in addition to having this knowledge of pre-history, what other ways do you think science can income the humanities -- inform the humanities besides just knowing our past and knowing the roots of that struggle that produces such beautiful art? >> we have just begun i think to find ways to bring whole areas of science now in contact with the humanities in ve

the organization was declining getting smaller. when i got involved with the black panthers, it was a brand-new group. there were five and i got there. most of them were in prison after the visit to supplement joe. it was very, very exciting. it was one of the first organizations based on the concept of black power that have been articulated in mississippi. and by sncc. i got involved with them and in december eldridge and i got married and i stayed out there and continued to work with the panthers. >> how did dr. martin luther king fit into this picture? >> in what way? my picture or the country? >> did he inspire you? how did the black panthers relate to him? >> everyone was inspired on some level by martin luther king. he was a tremendously decent and caring person. he was extremely intelligent and inspired a lot of christians. now, eldridge made a comment in national and said, how about integrating some of this bloodshed? that was one issue he had. it was too much that the black people should absorb all the punishment, that we

it was a big highly organized global plot. so while this one guy who we just showed you, and his friends were stealing from atm machines in new york in their coordinated attacks, in cities all over the world in two dozen countries around the world, these different cells of coordinated thieves were all doing the same thing, all at the same time, going atm to atm in cities in japan, canada, germany, romania, and lots of other countries, on that one day in february. they all acted all at once. they made 36,000 fraudulent atm transactions around the world that night, including the guys in new york city, that global atm heist netted more than $40 million. worldwide. all in cash. all in one day's work. that's a lot of cash. the thing about this heist that was so hard to believe at the time was that it was a mix of very modern cyber crime, hacking into financial data bases, stealing pre-paid atm card numbers, there's this sort of intensive technical part of this, but also linked with old-school stealing. stealing physical paper money

usda organic has very stringent rules. they test each batch that comes in for lead because pollution leads to lead being in the tea. they're even using ddt and all these chemicals that are illegal in the united states. there's no rules in the other countries. so they end up using it. if it's certified organic, you know you're getting a clean cup of tea that has the antioxidants without the chemicals. >> i do drink this jasmine pearl. are all jasmine pearls equal or no? >> no. the cool thing about tea is that it's an endless journey of adventure. every time there's a new harvest because it comes from the earth, it changes, you know, with the weather. it's like wine. so with jasmine pearl, this is a grade one. it's fairly tightly rolled. it's infused with jasmine petals so it's not flavored. what we were talking about earlier with lead and pollution leading to tea having chemicals in it, what happens is if you have a nonorganic flavoring, usually they use a propylene glycol base, which is basically antifreeze. >> that's made

thank you very much.6 organization, the national organization for women has six core issues that we addressnd so they are reproductive rights and justice for all women. ending racism ending home homophobia, economic justice for all women and getting women into the constitution at last. the reason that now has these six issues at the core of its agenda is because we do view those issues as deeply interbetweened and interrelated, right? and i think it's really intuitively easy to see how all of those issues, economic justice and reproductive rights and violence against women and racism and homophobia how they all interrelate. if you just think about it this way. in politics, right, who are the candidates that we think would probably be opposed to same-sex marriage? opposed to women's access to reproductive health care? opposed to serious funding of the violence against women act. what you find is it's the same crowd over and over again that are more or less in opposition. so they get the enter interrelationship of all these relationships so it's very important we understand how they're interr

and this organization has to be one that is able to do business in medical managed care and able to take on risk and do utilization management with the patient and track the patients and so on and it is a business model that goes beyond providing healthcare services. and the intention here of course, was that with the new cathedral hill hospital, the tender loin patients being new patient theres should be a commitment to serve the low income patients. there is no new provider in the tender loin that is able to partner with cpmc to do the work and i will talk about that in a future slide. >> and another major component of the development agreement was the innovation fund, and this is a fund of 8.6 million dollars, that provided to the san francisco foundation administered by the foundation and in 2013, they were obligated to fund, 3.5 million of the 8.6 which they did. and the funding decisions by the innovation fund are made, by an innovation grant committee of the san francisco foundation and the department of public health and the cpmc staff, in 2013, innovation fund awarded 1.25

we would like to work with other organizations to do something really big. the other thing is i have had some situations at the va hospital that i feel that veterans especially those that have disabilities need assistance. i'm also a registered nurse. is it time? 30 seconds. some of the things that i experienced had i not been a registered nurse either i would have been put in the hospital or dead if i listened to some of the doctors that i saw. i went through four doctors before i found the one that i thought was capable and compassionate to help me. my situation was that my suggestion or maybe some help, maybe an advocate for service or maybe some counsel at the va for veterans when they go there because sometimes people are overwhelmed, over booked, burnt out and they just want to get you through or they don't care. i don't want somebody to die because of negligence or anything like that. i'm all about health care too. >> thank you. other comments on the presentations from the public? >> i just wanted to briefly say that right before you walked in. latoni

>> consumers are important in this conversation and consumer advocacy organizations for rare diseases and other diseases are important, but it compromises what they have to say when they are taking money from pharmaceutical companies. there are organizations like the national women's health network and the national breast cancer action rather and health research group. there are consumer advocacy organizations that do not take money from pharmaceutical companies, but are still very active at getting health issues and topics that don't receive enough coverage covered. even if you are a small organization you can still get attention and get the word out without pharmaceutical money. in terms of invented diseases this has also been called disease mongering by lynne payer or selling sickness. and i use it to refer to conditions or as industry calls them disease states that have literally been created by industry and put forth through third parties because they will hire and convince leaders and advocacy organizations etc. to make particular conditions accepted so social anxiety disorder a

we are an issue focused organization. their other women's groups that will only endorse women candidates and we endorse men who who support or she's just we support women. but that doesn't mean after we lose that election we don't work with all of the elected officials. we absolutely work with all of them that will work with us on these issues in one of the reasons i think it's so important to get women elected even when they don't support our issues is that there needs to be a lot more research. but if you compare a self-identified right-wing female politician to a self-identified right-wing male politician the women generally will vote for issues that actually support women more often than a conservative man will. if you look at self-identified moderates, the woman moderate will more often vote the way i would want her to than the man. and even if you look at the self-identified progressive the woman progressive will vote the way i want her to more often than they manned progressive or as one of my staffers called it th
