[laughter] >> i want to echo great thanks. i do have a couple questions. with all of this contracting going on in these new arborists coming in and this work being done, it strikes me that there may be a quality control issue. how do you monitor quality and ensure that you are using good arborists and how do members of the public who have concerns about quality best express that? >> that's a great question. is very important to us. the whole purpose of this program is to ensure better quality and standards of care for many of the trees. i do want to recognize that there are property ow

work. is that a fair characterization? mr. lawrence: it's frustrating for all of us, not just you, and we know it's frustrating for veterans. i.t. is no doubt part of what we do, it's very complicated thing we're undertaking, the analogy of the carburetor, i.t. plays a large component but it's a group effort. mr. takano: what part is i.t. and what part is the group? mr. lawrence: the group, we obviously have to translate requirements into things for the coders to do so we need to make sure those are right. we've got to run the tests carefully, we've got to review tests and make sure we understand the different scenarios and get the i.t. right. mr. takano: so it's not antiquated machinery, it's not -- mr. lawrence: it's all part of it. mr. takano: so it's -- there were project management components. but ultimately it's i.t. all in the realm of i.t., whether it's personnel related to i.t. or the machines are out of date or the misguidance given to your contractor. so given that it's all in th

what did you work on? >> have you ever advised any official in the white house to provide or withhold documents? >> i'm just trying -- just running the tape here. not that i can recall. >> would you recuse yourself from litigation involving the special counsel, for example, litigation that would involve criminal proceedings or production of documents or any other discovery issues involving the special counsel where his requests or demands for documents or testimony might be contested? >> to the extent that the case touched upon the specific case before me would touch upon anything that i worked on in the white house, yes, i would. >> well, let me just say very emphatically since you are unable or unwilling to say exactly what the advice relating to the special counsel's activities touched upon, my strong suggestion is that you would have to recuse yourself as to any and all matters -- >> perhaps, perhaps the question would be -- so, the first question would be did i work on the matter. and as i've told you

with recology to work with these audits, to work with the businesses? is it a team of folks? >> yeah. there is a team of us in zero waste. so we're organized by sector. so i'm overseeing the commercial sector. there is a team of us. and we actually, the person on the team, will deal with a range of different customer types. and that is also true, recology has professional staff -- they call it their waste zero staff. and they also work with these customers. so we're in constant communication. >> president cohen: what is the cost of an audit? >> you'll have to ask recology on that. it takes a couple of hours. >> president cohen: could we get a recology representative? >> there is a cost there that recology -- coh >> president cohen: thank you, i don't want to hear, hearsay, i'm tapping into my inner judge judy. i would like recology to talk about the audits and if you're not the best person, that's fine, we can arrange for another recology person to come. >> thank you, president cohen. you know, actually an audit to do one audit, it takes about 3-4 hours

dillon, thank you for your great work. i have appreciated working with you. thank you, ed. you must be getting tired of saying nice things about me. in the last several weeks you spent a lot of time saying nice things. i am humbled by the accolades. i have many faults but hopefully you believe i paid a small part in moving the agency forward. thank you for putting up with me. i am not the normal kind of cfo. i want to give a shout out to the nta colleagues as dillon did who work tirelessly without much recognition. i would like to recognize all of you today for your great work. a special gratitude to the fit folks who always supported me over the year and have done incredible work. i have not done any of it, these guys have done all of it. i leave with a plea that you continue your hard work. it is often very difficult and frustrating but i have faith that you will continue the work and the public deserves the system. my last i would like to leave you with a poem. she was born in calcutta. i have got to leave. it is call farewell. i have got to leave bid me farewell, i bow

it is what allows many of our working adults and parents to continue to work. it's why we offer more resources to make childcare affordable and unsentiviizizizizizize -- incen. there are only 8 childcare facilities downtown. having childcare options located where parents work versus where they reside, allows them to be near their children if there is an emergency. opening near public transit corridors, it is having parents not run around before dropoff and pickup. it decreases emissions and increases safety. we're making progress in changing the realities for working parents. giving developers incentives to provide resources to fix the downtown desert. we know it's a huge benefit to our employers as well. national u.s. chamber of commerce states they've seen increases productivity when on site childcare facilities are provided. we believe it's a benefit to our businesses, too. i want to recognize ben rosenfield and our staff for helping us to craft this rebate program and jared and graham dobson and early care and education for advicing us how we can make it an

i know is a lot of work. it is something that the president and i talked about several months ago before the climate action summit. our mayor showed such extraordinary leadership. this has been a vision coming together for a couple of months. i wanted to thank you. as well as director rafael. i wanted to highlight a couple of things about the department on the status of women and the commission on the status of women for those of you who may not be familiar with our work. we invite you -- we have our regular schedule commission meeting on the fourth wednesday of every month. 4-6:00 pm in city hall. all are welcome. we would appreciate your input. join us there. we were created for 40 years ago and that was to help lift to the economic security and the status of living for all women in san francisco. we serve 49% of the a hundred 50,000 residents of san francisco. we are the only commission in the country. this is something that was voted in by the voters of san francisco. we are the only commission in the cou

real world, what works in jasper, indiana, what works in warsaw, indiana. what works in this great state where we lead by our performance, just like we did in tackling infrastructure. we are a state that works and i thank my lucky stars that i was born in this state and in my hometown, and that it has worked out. i really do. [applause] and we have a narrow window. we have got two years to show that as conservatives we can make things work. we need to get our president reelected. yeah. [applause] and what we are going to do is we are going to get more people from the real world that have had to do things, that can fix things in a dysfunctional system. [applause] you are going to find that other people across this country are going to stick their neck out and take a risk, and try to fix things in washington so the system works for everyone. that is my goal. [applause] never in my wildest dreams did i imagine when we made the decision to move back, after serving on a school board -- for 10 years, after being in our state house for three years passing an amazi

and work it so that it ultimately works for the benefit of the community. and i wanted to close my remarks after thanking the contractors, the architects, the financers, all the rest of it. in the end, the most critical part of this program relates to the residents, and most particularly, i wanted to thank our urban strategies great, isaac dozier and his team. many years ago, i created the urban strategies group, and i'm the chairman, and i just wanted the mayor to hear what has happened here beyond the beautiful infrastructure that's happened here beyond the buildings. 82% of the families that were here have returned. 82%. we are hopeful that 90% will be here, and the other most incredible statistic, and i'm very proud of the urban strategies, folks, within the last 5.5 years, household income in -- with the alice griffiths residents has doubled from $12,000 a household to 24,000 through the intervention of agencies and other organizations here who have been part of this mix. and we have had access to health care now with many, many families and their chil

don't work for the special interests, work for the public interests, work for us. don't represent the insiders. represent the american people. so there is a whole set of reforms to make our campaign finance system more transparent, to make it work better, to make it work for the people. that's it. it's pretty basic. but these are transformative reforms that we are putting forward and once in a generation opportunity to make a bold, proud declaration back to the american people that we get the it, we hear you and want to give you your voice back. this class arisk in 2018 has that message of reform pinned to their chest. they understand that they understand this is what the public wants to see and first priority, h.r. 1. we are excited about this opportunity that is coming. nobody knows more about the promise of our democracy, the struggles behind it than terri sewell, because terry grew up in selma, alabama. she understands what's at stake here. terri sewell. ms. sewell: i want to thank our leader for her leadership and the efforts to bring more democratic reforms t

work to make police stations much more conducive to the work that occurs there in. we have been underway at three stations -- northern, richmond, and taraval -- regarding their generator project and related structural enhancements to ensure the function of the building before or during a major seismic event. upcoming milestones are the continuation, certainly, of that work. there is a special note here that two projects, mission police station and the police academy renovation are on hold until next year, and that relates to a project i'll speak to in a second. office of chief medical examiner was complete in november of last year. it's fully occupied. it's operating according to need or expectation. and there's always the matter of closing out the project administratively, and that is continuing. traffic company and forensic services division project is the largest project within eser 2014. it is moving ahead. we have been developing it to its intended full integrity. that being said, there's been quite a bit of revisiting of design and cost cutting in order to bet

it is will be going to work and working for the. place i'm trying to keep the roof. off in spatial field self-confident not everybody can do the job that we do. much but if you're president. scott's older brother stephen has been a miner for fifteen years. to really watch each other but you know trying to help each other which is again the stuff you love. me and to me you know if your eyes often are you know where the one sense of course is the camera to the outside in a kind of place were born somewhere and nobody else there. had a mom and they took me like you mean i want. you. to. feel sheltered and somebody else. up there to have it right. not like to have lunch but now. you know more. now on you know the production stuff absolutely kid stuff oh i see you know like i. read you know. which is out from what i hear i hear they're like at a dinner how i'll be it was just to get the search out throughout the day but very cold like the. seven up it was like you know that's you know they step basis try to do away with it and. people like us to get ready ration you know.

[applause] >> the hon. london breed: so our final speaker is going to come up. i think deanthony and kiara highlight the beginning of this journey and what it can do when it's done well. i wanted to just bring up morgan. one of the things that mayor breed has been doing all along the spectrum is she was creating programs and supporting yo

paid work can be good for the public. there all -- are all kinds of ways to help the public and serve. thing about the legal profession. weret carlson: while you the dean of harvard, the number of hours students dedicated to provide no more than doubled -- pro-bono. significant changes were made in the way that occurred. what changes are you most proud of for your time at harvard? listening to dean thenor talk about all hours georgetown students spent doing pro bono work, my predecessor put in place a mandatory pro bono requirement. i can't rubber what it was. they put this in place a year or two before i got there. discovered is that people just didn't, and more and more and more. when dean was reading, i felt like saying, if the dean of harvard law school were here, that he would challenge dean trainor to a contest. do?many hours do you when i used to get to the end of the real challenge for us was to create the opportunities for people to do meaningful pro bono work. students, we want to make sure these were terrific o

we work with recology to make sure contamination is not an issue and to work through the process and improve it. we really would love to hear more that you all have for these amendments and proposal. we hope to continue to have a relationship and ongoing conversation. thank you. >> next speaker. >> good afternoon, secretary treasurer, local 350. we represent all of the union recology workers in san francisco. i wish i had more time, because i could answer a lot of the questions that you were asking earlier. so maybe i'll follow-up. >> individually, you can. >> zero waste, if the city is serious about zero waste it requires participation at multiple levels. the refuse that you see at pier 96 is clean because it's already gone through the sorting process at some level and then it's sorted through again by our members. for this to really work, that's what needs to happen at the large refuse generators. you need someone sorting before it goes into the compacter. it goes to sanitariy fill and pushed into the trucks to go to landfill. so whatever recyclables in that compacter are never see

that is to pair all of the great work about cannabis equity, work that supervisor and the president of the board has advanced in concert with members of the board. the idea of equity that cannabis when we roll out the business opportunities from item five in the workforce opportunities here , should benefit those communities and representatives and community members and the communities of colour it most negatively impacted by the failures of the war on drugs. the prohibition and cannabis discriminated heavily picket also impacted the compassion community. you heard from members of the cannabis compassion community where some of the first trailblazers of legalization who are now unable to get some of the support from the regulators to advance their programs. i will talk about why this is a win-win for cannabis equity and compassion. the thing i would like to share is, before giving some of the elements of what is in front of you, colleagues, or members of the committee, what is the components of the cannabis apprenticeship ordinance, i just want to let you know and hear a little bit of

and we work to pay for families we barely see. so a lot of the people in the book have natural resiliency. and with $11000 lesss than childless women or men in general so they call that the motherhood penalty to bias at work when pregnant but i call that the motherhood advantage. that is a study done by the federal bank of st. louis mothers are more productive and they studied 10000 women have seen greater concentration with the people that i interview and as my own worker greater leadership skills and now you have to deal with different situations. so those surprising advantages. >> cascade wisconsin good morning.fr >>caller: i am in my forties, a scientist with a masters my husband and i made a conscious decision not to have children when we forecasted for retirement i have noticed many of my friends and colleagues are choosing not to have children. is that a trend that you are seeing that they are choosing tore differ having children at all? remake that's a great question. generally in academia there are studies done not to hav

he is quite good to work with. he sees, that we do, that foreign assistance tools are an important part of american foreign-policy. in style, he is a former member of congress like i am, so he analyzes things in a strategic political way like i do. we find it easy to communicate about challenges and opportunities we see to build bipartisan support around america's foreign-policy. >> you have spoken about the clear choice doctrine, which is the united states presents this option to countries where aid is needed. there is a clear choice if they choose china as a partner that they are mortgaging the future to that country, and there is a clear choice if they choose the .nited states as an aid partner philosophies meet you'relear choice when trying to recruit countries to take aid from the united states and not from china, but at the same time you want to get out of the aid business eventually in those countries? don't view clear choice as trying to get countries to take our aid. as choosing choice a model of self-reli

it is a work in progress.i think so far and so good. >> the webinar thing is big because you know how hard it is. we get these club people to come out for functions. they just don't come. i think if you have it at their desk and they are taking the webinar from their desk you will get a lot more turn out to. i think that is something you should really continue working on. >> i'm trying to figure out the tools that exist that we have access to and if we want to do more of these. i am excited about the potential to do more of these. i think maggie is too. we haven't explored any further. >> did you get any comments after. >> i did. i got really nice comments and feedback from pride and burning man. they both were very enthusiastic about it. i got some general feedback like thank you for the information, i needed this. not exciting, but very practical >> no one said this wasn't useful. >> may be when the season starts , you could do it once a month and have a webinar. it would be interesting. >> i'm open to discu

work two jobs in order to make ends meet. i've also worked tongues of overtime. just because i needed the money in order to survive in the city. at times i worked multiple times 24 hours straight. i've even worked 32 hours straight shift. even with all this, i don't feel like my wife and i can afford to have children in this city and raise them. which is pretty grim. marriott is the largest and richest hotel company the world has ever known. they made billions in profits last year on the backs of their workers. and they give their c.e.o. millions in compensation and a golden parachute, even when he is done, he will be fine for the rest of his life. i'm here to today to say that one job should be enough. one job should be enough to make ends meet. one job should be enough to have a family, provide for your family. one job should be enough to cover healthcare and medical benefits. one job should be enough to retire in dignity. working people shouldn't have to chose between these things. they shouldn't have to say like, oh, well, i just will take the pension but i'l

, working with the department of public-health, working on vision zero. i think this is something that comes very natural to us. this particular example is so deep and powerful and you are responding to that because you see the layers of it. it's a wake-up call not only to these two departments but to the rest of the city to think about what we are missing when we keep our blinders on and think in our silo because the world doesn't operate that way. i don't know if that's a great answer except to say you raise a wonderful point. >> i just want to command the department staff because, for example, vietnamese-speaking technicians is a really hard group to reach. really hard group to reach. when we discover that you have this effective outreach program, we were so excited because this is exactly the kind of hard-to-reach audience that we wanted to make sure have the legal rights information and identification of human trafficking. our department is seven people and so we must rely on our partnerships to project. >> this is such an important issue and i'm thi

it is an opportunity for the country to work together.nancy pelosi is serious and democrats are serious about unity let's and infrastructure bill, let's see a budget bill that can reduce the deficit and invest where we need to, let's see the country work together. we have done it before. if you look what happened under president clinton and president reagan both parties worked together. let's hope that can happen. heather: talking about impeachment and the russia collusion investigation, that might not happen. thanks for joining us, appreciate it, 19 after the top of the hour. the garden state stays blue, bob menendez holding out against bob hugin in a hard-fought battle to the end in new jersey.

work that doesn't involve working with people is much easier to automate than more em pathetic work. the jobs that will go away are more low skill than the jobs that are on line. so we need to upscale the population. there is work that can't be more automated and that's the authentic people kind of work. machines are not good at caring for people, persuading people, inspiring to lead, the ability to lead a team, teamwork. creativity is something that's not easily automated. so when we think about these shifts, there will be a need to upscale but also to change the nature of the work. and finally a lot of people are going to find that digital technology is going to be part and parcel of their work, even if it's not an i.t. career. so that's another trend that we see in the future. >> thank you. ambassador, in the philippines, more than 1 million people work at call centers. those are highly automatable. i want you to give us a snapshot for a moment, first of all, the caller phenomenon is not that old. your country will have to move quickly but have to shift again. what steps is your c

working.it was important to tell the whole story. i had a lot of requests from every network but you can name. it's to explain and show the depth and scope of the corruption that has just rotted away in spite of the federal reserve. you need to format to tell the story in detail that would create a compelling case with the 50,000-foot level intellectual sort of discourse or i could boil it down to the lowest level i think you really need to just see it. what does it feel like to listen to these people say the things they say. what are we going to do to fix this problem. i think however that the first step we need to take right now is to understand the mess that we are in and take it seriously i don't think we have that much time left before the next crisis to fix this problem. it's going to be tough and i ths is a problem that impacts us all this is an american problem that has worldwide consequences. the people were enforcing the rule of law and it's important we take these good working hard

money income is the measure of our achievement our success our work our work. work hard and you'll be rewarded. at least that's what they say working hard is a virtue and we're encouraged to give it our all around the clock if need be. but is that true is work is modern life a meritocracy after all celebrities earn vast amounts by trading on their image actor george clooney for instance two hundred thirty nine million dollars a year and reality show star kylie jenner earns one hundred sixty six million but what exactly is their achievement. want to they contribute in social or economic terms. and what about captains of industry is their work truly worth the huge sums they receive bill mcdermott took in twenty one million euros in twenty seventeen he's the c.e.o. of software company s.a.p and the top earner among heads of germany's blue chip companies so does that mean that mcdermott put in a thousand times more work than a factory laborer. does he help a thousand more people than a nurse. who says we're paid what we're worth. for many today the idea of meritocr
