the guideline says quote design the scale of the building to be comparable with the height and depth of the surrounding building this project clearly fails and it's a full store taller than the neighbors and it extend beyond the neighborhood. the negative impact of this failure to respect neighborhood scale is a significant loss of light in the neighboring backyards this will cause on negative impact on my quality of life of me and my neighbors. in addition to the immediate harm caused it's a boarder cause for the neighborhood. the reason san francisco created the guidelines is to insure the visual qualities remain intact quota single building out the context can be diserupt to the neighborhood. this is for the proposed building and while mr. g assured we those are guidelines and presumably not something to be followed it should be noted those guidelines are part of the guidelines and not optimal they've taken into consideration the time to community to the city and mr. g about their concerns for the neighborhood unfortunately, the developer has demonstrated a disregard for the neigh

in terms of scale additions that defer to the original scale of the property are preferential to those that would overwhelm or equal the scale of the property. then you have the question of rhythm, you can see an example there. some buildings tend to have a vertical rhythm or a modern or art deco -- a building may have a horizontal rhythm to it whereas a historical building may have a vertical rhythm to it. massing is somewhat different than scale. can you see the original massing of the property? i'm going to give a couple examples. these are not frank lloyd wright, but they're similar prairie style. the center one, these were considered small for the standards of the suburb that they were in so people wanted to add on to the center property. there was controversy about this, but arguably it followed some of the rules. what it did was added a similar block to that square prairie style structure on to the back, connect td by a glass piece to make a much larger house. the argument here is that it's added on to the back so again, from the front of the property you don't really see it, bu

what become most important is the massing size and scale. scale is the most obvious. setbacks are something that are very important as well in terms of how a building sits on the street, if it's massing, how it fits in with other parts of the community it's in and then the rhythm and pattern of solids and voids for opening in solid wall. that is very important as well. finnishes, materials and fae features are the last quality you look ate. you can see this example of a new building in charleston that in some ways gapes in and in other ways doesn't ape the historic architecture above. there are a couple other examples where lands mark laws and a chicago example that were new buildings that were out of scale and avoiding the setback. if you look at these examples, really the biggest problem isn't even so much the opening of the styles of buildings. here there's a difference where the building on the right try to ape materials of the old buildings in terms of having a brick facade, but you see the scale is wrong. they don't match up with the buildings around them. a mod

with the planning code section this section speaks to the commission considering finding to larger scale lots and the finding mentioned in the awe rot sheet are within the draft motion. with regard to public comment the project sponsor has gotten 25 letters in support of the project that includes the neighborhood polk neighborhood association concerns regarding the project scale and mapping and demolition have been expressed to the department as well. the project requires the conditional use authorization for the existing site under the authorization the project requests to modify the rear yard open space and street frontage and parking and loading requirements of the planning code and additional it seeks the bulk limits proscribed by the code. in working with the department staff and the outreach efforts the department is supportive of the code modifications as part of the development authorization. the modifications are necessary and desirable in producing a well scaled project nipping to the distinct building patterns. the project will activate the streetscape along pine street and re

so if you tried to play a chromatic scale, it would get like this. [plays chromatic scale] so that's when they developed adding more keys to the flute. this flute is pretty much what was developed around mozart's time-- about four or five keys. [plays] (greer) mozart hated the sound of the flute, but realized that it was so popular that it should be in the orchestra. what he hated about it was it was not in tune with other members of the orchestra and consequently, sounded awful, as he put it. but he wrote for it, and he wrote very well for it. theobald boehm, back in 1850, came up with what we call the modern-day flute key system, but we seem to try and improve on what's been done for 140 years. (finley) flute production has changed dramatically-- mostly through mechanical and technological improvements digitally. and a lot of the machining has changed dramatically, more specifically through tolerances of one thousandths of an inch, which is the thickness of a cigarette paper. and if it's off that much, flutists can hear it. we have machinery. we ha

i don't see twitter having that scale of opportunity. mean they are not a great company with a lot of potential, but they have a high standard because they are thought of just like facebook. >> hang on, david, i want to bring in jon erlichman and the bwest byte. he is live at the f8 conference in san francisco. what is the number? >> 3 billion. $3 billion specifically. there is an analyst for suntrust who dared to put a number on what this new facebook ad network could mean in terms of revenue for facebook. this is a long-term, more of an exercise experiment type of forecast. he is suggesting by 2017, reaching out to these developers, trying to get new ad money by having facebook or with those players could generate $3 billion of annual revenue for facebook. pretty big number. >> i wonder where these announcements today leave twitter. we were having the discussion with the ceo about growing the user story and the revenue story. where does this leave twitter? >> twitter did a smart thing buying mopub. i think if facebook can make $3 billi

that's the kind of optimized scale, logistical play.nd i look at that as sort of building community on a local level in the same way. >> scott i just want to disagree with you there. our plan is that we want to be in every city in the world, so you can find a meal -- an authentic meal in all of these places, so i don't think it's about just being local or global. you are connecting with these people on a local level, but me getting a tip from a host or maybe even going out with them. whenever i travel i only stay on air b&b, and i only travel on lift. and i have met some amazing people. you are having brands come and centralize these hospitality or service industries through a decentralized network. >> i have to hit the pause button guys. the implications of sharing beyond making money. and when access trumps ownership like upgrading your rental car airport. >> i could have a mercedes or >> al jazeera america presents borderland's dramatic conclusion >> no one's prepared for this journey. >> our teams experience the heart breaking despe

it's to scale and i don't believe from the scale of the photograph that i saw accurately represents. >> hers was large and yours was small was on a accurate to scale. >> their accurate to scale yes. >> thank you, mr. quan you have 3 minutes of rebuttal. >> thank you george yawning u quan from the department of public works again. actually, i he was listening carefully to the public comments and based on volumes to the position of the department i believe one of the speakers on 1155 church street said it well those kinds of notifications in at&t is suggesting a 7 day review or a evaluation instead of the 20 she wouldn't understand and she was provided the notice for 20 days this speaks volumes we need to be able to provide that information to the people that are impacted. another one that struck me firmly in in this case all the public speakers are the folks implicated by requested location they're saying i don't want it in front of my building but somewhere else is okay. we hear voices from a group of individuals but whatever the other group that's impacted by the mr. president and t

some of the dr requester's concern are associated with the scale and coverage of the project. the dr requester is particularly concerned with the massing of the structure along the north side property line. the dr requester is also concerned that the project is not comply with planning code interpretation for code sections 134 and 135, which is real estate yard and open space and also takes advantage of a buildable area of unpermitted bathroom addition located in front of the house, near the north side property line. the department and the residential design team did find exceptional and extraordinary circumstances due to the fact that the existing building is a non-complying structure within the rear yard area and recognizing it create aids challenging site with respect to design. but overall, we felt it complis with residential guidelines. first the proposed building scale and the form at the front is compatible with that of the surrounding buildings and secondly, the issue of massinglocated near the north side property line. 9 residential design team viewed the proposed sit

major general bob scales is a fox news military analyst joining me now to talk more about this. good morning, sir. >> hi, arthe sfl if you would allow me i'd like to get personal off that. you suffer from a serious disease that was caused by exposure to agent orange while you were serving in vietnam. i mean, you've experienced the red tape firsthand in the v.a. health care system. could you talk about your experience. >> yeah. i spent a year and a half trying to get a declaration of disability from the v.a.:i wrote all the letters, filled out all the forms and after a year and a half, arthel and i go to the v.a. office, they have no records, no electronic records and i even called my doctor at walter reid, had a colonel send all my records by fax, my internet. she refused, and i was simply just dismissed. i was so angry, arthel, probably what i shouldn't have done, i went straight to the top in the pentagon, and i -- and i crushed her over the next two weeks and i got the documentation i need, but you have to ask, arthel. a major general and fox news military analyst has to spen

and all the issues the design team pledged the designs and all were address regarding the map of the scale and the third store not uncommon for the planning department to recommend an approval where there's neighborhoods with predominantly 2 stories so the building is actually has maximum setbacks from the front set back from the location of the front set back that's a 25 percent rear yard and doesn't encroach and this 3 story set back from the wall so 27 feet from the front property line it has a disabled roof but the rormdz were changed to be flat roofs there were other concerns about the garage door width and it has been addressed subsequent to that the nose was completed between september and october of last year the department was aware the concerns but no discretionary review filed has been note the permit was issued and primarily the concern related to the 3 stories it's currently a vacant lot it's a change from there having a 3 story building but the broad operation for the design line it's on a standard practice that a third story predominantly where there's 2 stories may in fact,

in 1518, it was the largest oil painting ever produced on the scale to match ambitious roman artists. titian had never been to rome and he was developing the potential of a new medium. painting on this scale had previously been done in fresco, where the colors are absorbed into the plaster but fresco in venice was vulnerable to dampness. only oils could give the brilliance and permanence that titian needed. ♪ alleluia ♪ ♪ alleluia ♪ ♪ alleluia, alleluia ♪ ♪ alleluia, alleluia ♪ ♪ alleluia ♪ ♪ alleluia ♪ ♪ alleluia, alleluia ♪ ♪ alleluia, alleluia ♪ ♪ alleluia ♪ titian continued to exploit the spaces of the frari to dramatize them in the next painting that he executed for the church. this was the altarpiece of the pesaro family located to the left of the nave. it was visible to the viewer along a diagonal axis before he reached the altar, and titian's perspective deliberately offers an invitation to the viewer to enter the painting before arriving at the altar. the pesaro madonna altarpiece illustrates vividly the fusion between church and state public and private saint peter and saint

. >> i have a question about the subsidiary issue and we're talking about economy of scale. would the subsidiary involve a totally different and separate sector of the economy, would that be tied to the formula retail different than what is involved in the subsidiary? >> i believe as is currently proposed, yes. so one example that i like to give out is the owner of superdooper, who owns seven super dooper locations, but owns sixing or seven individual restaurant concepts. so one super dooper achieves that threshold number and any future restaurants that he open ready now considered formula retail and required to go to cu if he maintains 50% ownership of everything. >> if he is not in the food business? >> maybe a clothing store? >> would that count? >> yes. as currently proposed. yes. >> commissioner dwight. >> so we see what a slippery slope we are on. this is borderline anti-competitive and i think actually would be very interesting to know if this would even withstand a scrutiny by the federal government as to whether this represents anti-competitive behavior op n our par

. >> and one more question, and sort of totally, and have you explored, sort of in-pipe, small scale hydro. >> yes, we have a development under development at the university of mound and it is a 200 kilowatt system and we are looking at going forward with that project once we have the financals nailed down on that. >> would that be a pilot project? >> right. that is the beauty of it it is gravity fed and when there is power flowing we love to generate the electricity from it and so the university mound would be our first and we have identified other opportunities that are larger, on the water system. and we are continuing to look at the feesbility, and the capability to pursue those projects. >> great. >> again, do you have a back of the envelope number for what, and the scale of those opportunities, are. >> and we have identified a little over 6 mega watts of opportunity. >> and then mainly a pumping station and sort of like the stations or like, it was just sort of really inpipe. >> it is, and it is a, and at the university mound, for example, we are looking at a pipe that goes int

are we talking just scale, gender? >> what you are raising, and the question that underlies what you are asking is, is there political will to engage? that is why the social engagement of everyday americans, canadians, australians, europeans, going onto social media using the #bring back our girls has been so powerful because it has indicated that there is an attention to an expectation for action. what does that action look like, to the political question? i don't know what types of resources are under play and i've talked to my colleagues in nigeria who said that frankly there may be things happening they are not revealing. but we do know there is another side to this. there is a reaction to an extreme hijacking of both faith and the oppression and corruption and poverty. but there is opportunity for us to not only address what is there, but to look at the condition of girls and women and what happens when we are unable to invest in education and resources to support them. tavis: which raises this question, what is i

. >> where can i buy a richter scale? >> mr. richter is selling it. we are going to put a plug in for cold hardware. they are not available. it's a rather complex. >> in fact we don't even use the richter scale anymore. we use a moment magnitude. the richter scale was early technology. >> probably a myth that i hear most often is my building is just fine in the loma prieta earthquake so everything is fine. is that true ? >> loma prieta was different. the ground acceleration here was quite moderate and the duration was moderate. so anyone that believes they survived a big earthquake and their building has been tested is sadly mistaken. >> we are planning for the bigger earthquake closer to san francisco and a fault totally independent. >> much stronger than the loma prieta earthquake. >> so people who were here in '89 they should say 3 times as strong and twice as long and that will give them more of an occasion of the earthquake we would have. 10 percent isn't really the threshold of damage. when you triple it you cross that line. it's much more damag

how would you explain the scale of the victory? >> he ran a very professional election campaign on the ground and on social media. it has been pretty much in the style of the u.s. presidential campaign. it is being concentrated on all the time. he promised development, good governments -- governance, more jobs for youth. and he has kept the riots in 2002 out of the discussion. these of the reasons why he was so successful. >> and why did congress fail so miserably? >> they were focusing on him personally and they did not have a very clear message or any other policy alternatives. they also did not take credit providing a stable government for 10 years or say anything about the employment schemes. and the congress candidate for prime minister appeared indecisive, lacked charisma, and seemed completely out of touch. >> what do people expect now? what will he be doing different to the previous government? >> the expectations are very high. he has promised much and now he has to deliver. he is expected to give more jobs, expected to pr

with scale comes a cost reduction. >> and greater profitability. >> that's right.hat you found was in the state of california where they have done all of this renewable energy, less than 2% cost increase to consumers when the natural gas costs have really driven up costs in california and other places around the country. >> one of the arguments that we heard in that story was while we have energy abundance why don't we take advantage of that and not let that sap our enthusiasm for alternatives. one of the points i heard you make was let's not take this abundance thing too seriously. you're worried there are signs out there that there might not be as much natural gas as we think there is. >> there is no doubt in my mind that there is enough natural gas out there. i used to work at bp and loved the fact that we're using homegrown resources. my challenge is that at today's prices not all the natural gas is cost effective to go after. when you think about oklahoma, they averaged in earthquakes 3 on the richter scale and higher. and in the last three months they've had

it is unlikely that we see large-scale, whole scale central sanctions.here are three levels of sanctions we have seen. , andiduals, corporate wholesale of the russian economy. i think the third one will be sectors of the economy that have impact, a bigger impact on russia than western countries. because the sanctions hurt everyone. but they are designed to change russia's actions. from thet is clear major western countries that they are clear in understanding russia's strategy towards ukraine and i think they are clear that they have to do something about that. >> which sectors in russia are most a threat? as an investor in russia, where should you be withdrawing your money? where should you be putting your money? >> russia is a poor place to invest. it was always a bad business of army, pre-crimea and pre-ukraine. i think this whole scenario just makes a stronger case not to invest in russia. pull your money out if you have any investments there or reduce your exposure. this is not going to get easier. it is not going to get resolved next week. this is

and then above all we wanted human-scale design. so moving on to the site plan. this is the site plan with the plaza. we are proposing a substantial redesign of the western side of indiana side consistent with better street standards that would actually result anyway widened sidewalk, planting, street trees and of course, as you move forwards 19th, the permanent closure of 19th, i want to emphasize in all of our schemes this remains fully public and would be a public plaza dedicated to large-scale rotating art and we're in conversations with caltrans about getting an easement to do work on their land as well, to build an urban bleacher. again, we'll come back with the specific plaza designs in two weeks. here is a project view, hovering above esprit park to the northeast. the o green building and m, reddish building to the north. i think a really important perspective view if you are standing in the corner of esprit park looking across the street and see the green o building with the playful rhythm along the fagaed, a full 17-18' clearance, transparent base and t

that beautiful building sorry i'm very nervous would be significantly accommodated with the offer scale position to the top of the structure. those buildings can't be replaced we imburglar you to look at it it on a significant corridor. the association visitors have a devoted investor basis we have a devoted visitor base they shop at our stores and take pictures the educate street 18 hundred it predominantly located and the at&t installation will degrade the character of the building and the neighborhood. again, this violate the union street guidelines that are twice the size of the proposed for 17 hundred union and is very concerting that lee although planning staff has asked them to reduce this site app refused why won't at&t compromise especially on a rare and distinguished building >> thank you. is there any further public comment seeing none, public comment is closed. commissioner antonini >> yeah. i have questions for the representative from at&t. many of the speakers brought up some alternatives and i don't believe they're among the ones you've analyzed like 17 hundred green and

why we believe that impact reports should be tied to the scale only. the super stores are large single floors and they don't provide the highest and best use of land thereby creating a loss of revenue. in san francisco super stores are different in size. and boss of the best buys and cost could see have different skiej. the authorization is required for various size of retail under today's controls the cus considering parking and off-street parking and employment related impacts in order to fully evaluate those more studies are for larger stores that includes an assessment of the super store effects in the retail and employment the estimation of sales tax and the project of costs to the public services resulting from the operation of the store and any public assistance the employees need and a leakage study to see if the cities is ben and a multiple study for the circulation of local dollars. our proposed changes applied holistically recognize the formula retail controls in a way that creative and unique neighborhood and effort strong activity. i'm goi

the removal of transit provider is because they seek greater efficiencies of scale. our research has found a significant degree of vertical integration and blurring of traditional distinctions between companies. content providers, cable internet servers, are for wholesale transit and transit internet providers provide content distribution. level 3 is both a large transit provider as well as the second largest continent distribution provider. our ongoing work has found growing diversity and complexity in the internet cyber supply chain. this refers to the increasingly diverse set of third-party infrastructure and services supporting the delivery of internet content. websites once came from computers directly owned and managed by the content owners located in tens of thousands of enterprise machine closets and data centers around the world. today, the majority of internet content leverages one or more multiple third-party content distribution services, hosting providers, exchange points, or cloud providers. examples of companies providing these different services are i

how things look depends on the time scale.his is pretty grim but if you back up and look at it as ground one the larger struggle that takes you from 1914 to 1989 what you see then is the open round of the conflict you get is the british come to pieces and a stronger global -- blue places it. it's superficially in some ways looks like the levalized world that the british were overseeing so the perspective you take makes a huge amount of difference. i would say world war i does make some sense in the first part of this great shift in wealth and power. looking at it just on its own terms you're absolutely right. how can you find much positive in that? the lady here. >> i heard to say the next 40 years are the most dangerous in history. what kind of government here or elsewhere would help avert historical repetition? >> great question. one of my claims in the book is if the stories i'm telling are correct it looks like the next 40 years will be the most dangerous in history and rerunning the structural elements leading to world wa

there is a role for the larger scale. it is locally focused on impacts of people that live there, city governments and state governments need to make response to. sometimes there is an additional risk in their life they have to take into account. other times there is a government taking recognition of increasing risk to the way they protect their citizens. providing an enormous amount of information, they create adaptation panel to address what responses should be taken. emergency management planning, probably save thousands of lives because subway trains were not in the tunnels that they knew would be flooded. >> we're going to take a short break, and when we come back we'll talk about the measures that may get us where everyone wants to get, to a more resilient people facing these unknown changes. this is inside story. >> you followed their journey across the border >> it was heart wrenching... >> now see how it changed the lives of the people involved. >> i didn't go back to the person that i was before i left... >> an
