The potential of formal and informal data within emerging cities

is really about bringing to life the multimodal nature of public transport within those cities.

Collecting integrated transport data and then making it available

through an open API allows citizens of emerging cities to be able to

address their mobility challenges and build their own solutions.

For many people, this data represents different things...

So for a commuter, it represents being able to actually see the

full range of multimodal options that are available to you,

not just a subset of what are the formal and known options within a city.

In the last six months, we've mapped all 7 major metros in South Africa.

Once there's consistency in information, we then upload it to

our platform, where it's then publicly accessible.

The data we have in our platform is open to anyone to access.

To facilitate this access, we've got a developer portal.

You'll get direct contact with our support team

and we'll be able to guide you through that process.

Trump Pushes Coal and Wants Public to Pay For It - Duration: 13:48.

DIMITRI LASCARI: This is Dimitri Lascaris for The Real News.

The Trump Administration's Department of Energy is run by former Texas Governor, Rick Perry,

who vowed to abolish the department when he was a presidential candidate.

Known as the Darling of the Fossil Fuel Industry, Perry just announced a request to the Federal

Energy Regulatory Commission to enact changes that would boost pricing for coal and nuclear

power.

This rule would require regional power markets to factor in certain characteristics of coal

fire and nuclear power generation when they set prices for electricity.

Some experts say this change could create the biggest change to electricity markets

in the United States in decades.

Rick Perry's proposed rule came on the heels of an environmental success story.

Washington State, nixed plans for a major coal export terminal last week, dealing a

possible lethal blow to the project.

Here to discuss all of this with us is Mary Anne Hitt, director of the Sierra Club's Beyond

Coal Campaign.

Mary Anne joins us today from Los Angeles.

Welcome back, Mary Anne.

MARY ANNE HITT: Thank you.

It's a pleasure to be with you.

DIMITRI LASCARI: First of all, Mary Anne, I'd like to talk about the Washington State

Department of Ecology's denial of the permit for the Millennium Bulk Terminal project.

How would that export facility, if built, impact the public, the environment and now,

in light of this denial what are the prospects for the terminal to actually be built?

MARY ANNE HITT: Well, this was a big victory, not only because we stopped this particular

project, and by we, I mean, a very big coalition of environmental groups, tribal partners,

community leaders.

It's also an even bigger deal because it was the final coal export proposal in the Northwest

that was still standing.

About a decade ago, big companies like Peabody Coal were looking for new markets for coal

coming out of Montana and Wyoming, which is our biggest remaining coal reserves because

we're using a lot less coal in the United States.

Their plan was to build the six big coal export terminals in the Northwest to ship the coal

to Asia.

This marks the last of those six that was defeated by a grassroots network that's really

one of the most remarkable things I've seen in my 20 years in the environmental movement.

DIMITRI LASCARI: That's quite a contrast to the attitude of the Trump administration to

the coal industry.

Let's talk about this proposal that's coming from Rick Perry and the Department of Energy

to boost pricing for coal and nuclear power.

Perry's reported rationale for this rule is that wind and solar energy are intermittent

sources of energy.

In other words, that source of energy is only available when the sun shines and the wind

blows, whereas coal and nuclear power make the electrical grid, according to Rick Perry,

more reliable and resilient.

Is there any truth to this, especially in light of advances we've seen and will continue

to see in terms of electricity storage?

MARY ANNE HITT: The idea that you have to have these big old fossil fuel plants around

to keep the grid stable or reliable is really a pretty outdated notion.

What we actually have found in recent years is it has been renewables that are keeping

our grid stable because having more diverse sources of energy on the grid like wind and

solar that can keep going, no matter what happens elsewhere on the grid has proven to

be a real boon.

Basically, the grid is this vast interconnected network of wires and other ways we transmit

electricity that are managed by smart people.

You could think of the air traffic control where there are folks who are really managing

to make sure that if one power source goes down somewhere, we're bringing up another

power source somewhere else.

Coal is actually not a great source for reliability because it takes a long time to fire up a

coal plant.

It takes a long time to power it back down, whereas wind and solar are a lot more nimble,

but the point being, the real motive here by Secretary Perry is not about the reliability

of the grid.

It's to prop up the fossil fuel industry, which is having trouble competing on the free

market with renewables.

That's the real motivation here.

We can have a safe, reliable grid powered with 100% renewable energy, but that is a

threat to the bottom line of the fossil fuel companies, which are really what Rick Perry

is trying to protect here.

DIMITRI LASCARI: How would this rule do that?

How does it boost the viability of coal and nuclear power?

Do you think it's ultimately going to affect the attractive... in economic perspective

to the power markets?

MARY ANNE HITT: Well, what they are proposing to do here is to claim that coal and nuclear

are these special categories of power because they have this big fuel supply on-site, which

means that they get, essentially, subsidized for continuing to exist.

The Department of Energy has sent this over to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,

which is an impartial entity that is actually supposed to be not picking winners and losers

but just making the best resource decisions for the country.

Again, the real motivation here is that coal and nuclear are having a very hard time competing

with all the other sources of electricity out there, especially as we now have 10% or

more of our nation's electricity coming from renewables.

In some parts of the country, they're getting 30, 40 even 50% of their power from renewables

on some days.

Coal plants, they're finding that when they try to sell their coal out into the marketplace,

especially the open market, that no one wants to buy it because it's too expensive, and

there's a lot more competition out there.

Not every state is in one of these open markets, but then, these deregulated open markets,

they basically want to force the customers to buy the electricity anyway.

This notice from the Department of Energy has gone over to the Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission or FERC, and it's a big deal.

It's definitely a big deal.

I'm glad you're following it and paying attention to it.

It is definitely designed to prop up old polluting sources of energy that can no longer compete

increasingly with renewables.

We're going to be working at the Sierra Club to stop this from ever getting over the finish

line.

It's going to be a big focus of ours for sure.

We definitely, all as Americans, need to be paying attention to it because we're really

at a tipping point when it comes to the economics and energy.

Renewables are cheaper than coal in many, if not, all parts of the country.

We shouldn't be forcing people on their electric bills to pay to keep these old dirty polluting

plants open which is essentially what this proposal would do.

DIMITRI LASCARI: Let's shift focus a little bit.

We've been talking about the price to the consumer of electricity of coal and so forth,

and how this might affect that.

Let's talk about other costs of coal usage, in particular, the health effects.

We know, for example, that working in the health industry, Trump is always, or at least

most of the time trying to justify his defense of the coal industry and this advancement

of the coal industry's agenda by reference to jobs for coal miners.

We know that working in the coal mining industry has had historically quite significant adverse

health effects.

For example, black lung disease.

When you compare the health profile for workers in the solar energy industry and the wind

industry and the wind energy industry, other renewable, clean, renewable energy industries

to what we see in the coal industry.

I mean it Trump really cares about workers, shouldn't he be taking into account the health

effects?

Aren't working in those industries a much more attractive proposition for workers from

a health perspective?

MARY ANNE HITT: Well, I live in West Virginia.

I'm in Los Angeles today, traveling for work, but I live in West Virginia and so I know

all too well both the health and safety, dangers that come from coal mining but also how reliant

those communities are on those jobs.

Unfortunately, still in this country, we don't have a lot of other economic opportunities

for folks in coal mining areas.

We haven't invested in diversifying the economy in coal mining regions like we should, in

my opinion.

You know, when folks really only have, as you'll hear that folks in the coal field say,

the only options are mining coal or maybe flipping burgers.

There's not a lot of other economic options.

They aren't yet seeing those clean energy jobs in their area and that's, I think, a

very important work that we need to be doing as a country.

I mean, we all have benefited from the sacrifices folks have made in the coal mines.

We've had cheap electricity.

We've had built a prosperous nation on the backs of those folks.

Now, I think the best way to honor the sacrifice people have made in coal communities is to

help diversify the economy as we transition away from coal.

Definitely, there are more solar jobs.

The solar jobs are not as big as a threat to the health of the workers.

At the same time, if those jobs aren't in the same places, that is cold comfort to folks

in those mining communities.

That's where, I think, we really need to invest as a nation and helping to diversify the economy

in coal communities.

I think that's the best way to honor that sacrifice that those folks have made on behalf

of us all.

DIMITRI LASCARI: Do we have reliable, are you aware of a reliable statistic study showing

how many jobs are created per-dollar investment in renewable energy versus per-dollar investment

in the coal industry?

MARY ANNE HITT: Well, those numbers are out there.

I can't cite them off the top of my head, but I can say the number of jobs per unit

of electricity produced, say kilowatt of electricity produced from coal versus renewable energy,

renewable energy is creating many times over the jobs that coal and fossil fuels are.

I mean, that's in part because it takes a lot of folks to put solar panels up on all

of those roofs and to get all those wind turbines built.

Those are good-paying jobs.

They are growing fast.

We have about 50,000 coal miners in this country, and by contrast, there's upwards of 300,000

renewable energy jobs in this country.

It's actually been one of the biggest sources of new job creation and economic growth in

this country over the past decade.

It's just continuing to skyrocket.

It's creating a lot of economic opportunity in places that haven't embraced wind and solar

like Iowa, like California.

The places that are hospitable to clean energy are really seeing a lot of job creation and

economic opportunity as a result.

DIMITRI LASCARI: Lastly, I want to talk to you a little bit about mountaintop removals.

My understanding is the Trump administration has been trying to roll back regulations on

mountaintop removal.

Could you bring us up-to-date on his efforts in that regard and the possible implications?

MARY ANNE HITT: Well, one of the first actions that Trump took when he became president was

to repeal something called the Stream Protection Rule, which had been long opposed by coal

mining companies, particularly in Appalachia because the stream protection rule prevented,

it was intended to protect streams around coal mining sites.

It never really went into effect.

That was one of his first actions, which he did, with a lot of fanfare with a lot of coal

folks and coal country politicians standing next to him.

Most recently, they have instructed the halting of a study by the National Academy of Sciences

that was really looking at the health of mountaintop removal.

Mountaintop removal is still going on.

It is still harming folks in Appalachia.

There have been a handful, about a dozen peer-reviewed studies connecting the dots between local

health problems like cancer, adverse effects and premature death, linking those to the

mountaintop removal mines.

The National Academy of Sciences was doing this survey of all that research to figure

out what it all added up to and what were the gaps, and what could we definitively say

about how to address this health crisis that we have in these coal communities around mountaintop

removal sites.

The study was halfway complete.

They pulled the plug on the funding.

It's very frustrating and angering to folks living near these sites who are looking for

answers and looking for solutions.

I think it's a very cynical move by the Trump administration and really shows that they're

not that worried about people in coal communities.

They are just wanting to score political points by promising that coal is going to come back

when it is not.

If you go back to the news last week that the very last coal export terminal in the

Northwest has had the plug pulled on it, you know, the economics aren't adding up.

In this country, we keep retiring coal plants.

Foreign markets are not hungry for our coal.

They are moving away from coal as well.

What we need are solutions for the people living around these mountaintop removal sites,

for public health, for economic development, for diversifying the economy.

We're not going backwards on no matter what Trump says when it comes to moving away from

coal.

I think it's time, as a nation, to step up and be honest about that and start solving

some of these problems instead of making empty promises to folks to score cheap political

points, frankly.

DIMITRI LASCARI: This has been Dimitri Lascaris, speaking to Mary Anne Hitt of the Sierra Club

about Donald Trump's latest attempts to prop up the dying coal industry.

Thank you very much for joining us today, Mary Anne.

MARY ANNE HITT: It's a pleasure to be with you.

Thank you for having me.

Queenstown okay I don't remember where I went

lighting right here what have we learned today

always check you can get it drawn for free and also oh we read much my team or

sponsor you guys I feel bad yeah you guys can work out literally

anywhere yeah doesn't matter if there's one yeah we'll watch this later

yeah guys it's tuned to the streams that actually interactive you guys tell me to

do things up control the video

there if you guys ever come to Los Angeles make sure you go to Hollywood

Boulevard it's a weird place and you see then we smooth our wheat and tobacco

same tuk yeah actually yeah I remember that

boring I'm gonna squat in the middle the room now thumbs up if you want to see

that some guys like some guys like I like your hair

the next guys like I'm like no no no no he's like 30 okay okay

once it turns we're gonna SWAT another road whenever I got the thumbnail I was

squatting a bit of a bunch of people and they're like like what are you doing I'm

like it's great like make if you feel like the great right now I'm just

sweating it's really calm but you create your good good job wind I don't know

CNN Reporter Asks Public To Keep In Mind That Victims Were Likely Trump Supporters

standard operating procedure particularly for a speech like this you

want to get every word right and again the president he left it to his role of

being a unifier he did not talk about the investigation he did not talk about

the suspect one of the reasons is not much is known he said that the FBI and

homeland security and others are are looking into this a lot you pronounce

the G nation to a convey but by saying that he will go to Las Vegas on

Wednesday by visiting this it is something that puts him in line with

what so many presidents before him have done and paid their respects of course

Las Vegas is a town that he is connected to and then and uh knows well his name

is emblazoned on the top of a hotel there as well he campaigned there a lot

so this is something that I'm not surprised at all to see him go there

visiting early but again I think the the moment here is what comes after this

this invariable I'm invariably after today and tomorrow will become a

discussion of politics of guns it's not appropriate for that moment today you

will hear it from what will this president do in that respect will he

take a leadership role in that respect we will of course watch that as the days

unfold but the president clearly as John said striking a pitch-perfect tone there

and something else I think to a keep in mind a lot of these country music

supporters we're likely Trump supporters and this is something that of course is

hitting the tapestry of all Americans and there are going to be victims from

across the country here so this is something that is a national tragedy as

the president said and the flags he also ordered at half-staff today in memory

and thought of all of the victims

Amanda Bynes Steps Out In Rare Public Outing & She Looks VERY Different - Duration: 2:55.

Amanda Bynes Steps Out In Rare Public Outing & She Looks VERY Different

Amanda Bynes, is that really you?! The former Nickelodeon star is said to be ready to return to acting, but when she does, her fans may not recognize her. Take a look at this new pic and see what we mean.

After going through a very public breaking in 2013, which involved Amanda Bynes, 31, saying she wanted Drake to murder her vagina, the former Nickelodeon star has rarely made public appearances. But on Saturday, Sept.

30, she did just that while grocery shopping at Ralphs in Los Angeles. Good for her, right? Obviously, were happy to see Amanda out and about and looking healthy, but we also have to admit — she looks COMPLETELY different.

The actress, who was accompanied by an unidentified woman, wore a tan sweater, white t-shirt, and black pants, while a black Chanel purse was draped over her shoulder.

Page Six reports she eventually grew uncomfortable with the attention she received at Ralphs, and tried to shield her face from the shutterbugs..

During an interview in June 2017, Amanda addressed her breakdown, said shes sober, and revealed plans to return to acting. "I do miss acting and I have something surprising to tell you: I'm going to start acting again," Amanda told Hollyscoop.

"I want to do TV. Maybe a few guest spots on some shows that I'm a fan of and maybe another TV show where I'm the star of it." Click here to see more pics of Amanda Bynes!.

We loved hearing that Amanda wants to return to acting, but do you think her fans will recognize her? Were having a hard time believing the paparazzi even recognized her, but obviously, they did as they took several photos of her.

Anyway, we just think her face looks very different.

from those who produce and process food to the consumers themselves.

As written in the Communication of the European Commission 'Closing the loop – An EU action

plan for the Circular Economy' published on 2 December 2015: "food waste is an increasing

concern in Europe" and "it has also an important social angle: donation of food

that is still edible but that for logistic or marketing reasons cannot be commercialised

should be facilitated".

From this starting point some EU Member States have designed and implemented new laws and

policies to prevent and reduce food waste and to facilitate food donation.

On 11 February 2016, France approved Law No 138/2016, the so-called Garot Law.

This law establishes a hierarchy of actions that each actor of the food supply chain must

put in place to avoid food waste. First, the prevention of food waste.

Then, donation or transformation for human consumption.

And then, recovery for animal feeding and finally compost or energy recovery.

In addition, this law also provides that large supermarkets will no longer be able to throw

away or destroy food by pouring bleach on them.

Finally, no later than 11 February 2017 supermarkets with a footprint of 400 square metres or more

had to sign a donation agreement with a charitable organization or face a penalty of 350 euros.

Therefore, with this law France has become the first country in the world to ban supermarkets

from throwing away or destroying unsold food, forcing them to donate it to charities and

food banks.

In summer 2016, Italy approved Law No 166/2016 concerning the donation of food and pharmaceutical

products for solidarity and the limitation of waste, also known as "Gadda Law".

This law entered into force on 14 September 2016.

The law presents four key points.

First, it creates a regulatory framework to comprehend the already existing rules concerning

fiscal incentives, civil liability, and hygiene and food safety procedures.

Second, it establishes a hierarchy for the use of products prioritizing the recovery

for human consumption.

Whether it is not possible to redistribute food to people, it should be used for animal

feeding or energy.

Third, it encourages the food supply chain to donate surplus food rather than to destroy

it by simplifying the administrative procedures.

It fosters the donation of confiscated food products and simplifies the donation of agricultural

and farming surplus.

It also enables municipalities to reduce waste taxes for Food Business Operators donating

surplus food.

And finally, it establishes a "Round Table" managed by the Minister for Agricultural,

Food and Forestry Policies as a tool for consulting all the involved stakeholders: the food supply

chain and the non-profit organizations, including Food Banks.

This law establishes Italy as a country at the forefront in Europe and in the world,

as regards the promotion of food donation for social purposes.

This measure reorganizes the regulatory framework on food donation simplifying, harmonizing

and fostering the process.

In addition, this law seeks to promote food donation through fiscal incentives and simplifications

rather than to force the food supply chain to donate surplus food with penalties and

sanctions.

Unlike an obligation, the empowerment of both profit and non-profit Food Business Operators

requires time but it generates a positive cultural change in the consciousness and behaviour

of people.

Finally, throughout the process of drafting and approving this Law all the competent authorities

and the profit and non-profit Food Business Operators

worked together towards a common goal.

This Law is a real example of a proactive and effective collaboration.

Finally, in October 2016 Romania adopted a law on food waste, which obliges companies

to donate or sell at reduced prices the food products that are close to the expiry date.

The law introduces fines of up to 2,200 Euros for the companies that ignore

these provisions.

The law is going to enter into force on 21 May 2017.

#NativeAdSecrets with Laura Sophie Dornheim, Public Affairs Manager at Eyeo GmbH - Duration: 2:39.

I think there is no real secret. It's pretty obvious. Try to be honest with the users.

Try to show that this is advertising. Try to be relevant without

too much tracking and interference with data privacy.

Try to make it in a way that really works within a context and the website at work.

So for example, if I'm surfing on Neue Zürcher Zeitung and I'm reading an article and I read the whole

article and I scroll down and they recommend me other articles to read and

in between these recommendations -- highlighted so I can see it's

different from the rest of the recommendations -- I get a link to another website that

might be very relevant and I actually find myself clicking that.

The biggest challenge for native advertising is not to get tempted by the various options to

trick users or to kind of try to make them click something when they don't

know at all that it's advertising. So we see that a lot with native advertising

that just pretends to be really exactly content and then you click and you see

like 'wait, where am I going?' Also, there's a lot of the same happening

with so-called influencer marketing which in my understanding is a subset of

native advertising where you pay somebody to post something and..

I'm not sure. Do they just post it on their Instagram or do they get paid for it?

There are definitely a lot of options for native advertising to mask

that it's advertising and it actually might improve click rates on a

short term, but I think you have a big problem if you follow

these leads because then it will never be seen as qualitative.

In my opinion native advertising is the future. I think in a few years we will not be talking

about native anymore because it will be the standard of advertising. I really hope to

see it still be clearly distinguished from content.

I hope it's gonna be way more relevant for users. I think, for me, the

perfect example of a native ad is our google search ads. I mean, they are native, right?

They are in the content, but they're super relevant because they are

something that I'm actually looking for and they are perfectly integrated in the

site. So if all native advertising would follow that lead, I think that would be a good future.

Equity in Action at David Lewis Public School - Duration: 2:20.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Our students are very eager and capable learners

who are extremely committed to learning and doing

well in all areas of our fine school.

At David Lewis, the staff is committed

to providing programs that stimulate and excite

young minds.

Our school is a very exciting place to be.

So many of our students come with such very little language

that it's always important to start with pictures to drive

their writing.

This way, when they're grouped by different abilities,

they can always feel like they can contribute valuably

to any activity.

In our classroom, we have students

who are new, who are learning English as a second language,

students on an IEP.

So when lessons are being created

which are based on inquiry and where

they have the freedom to choose and create and modify

and problem solve.

I think their engagement level is really high

and they are able to achieve success,

and they contribute and their learning becomes more exciting.

This is a community where language acquisition can

be a challenge for some, so we try

to engage them as much as possible with technology.

That way, they're actively participating.

And what I've noticed with the technology

is they might not have access to it at home.

But at least here, they can be themselves

and have a lot of fun and express themselves.

Our school strongly believes in developing the whole child.

Every day, we strive our very best

to meet the needs, interests, and ability

of all our students.

Right, guys?

Yes.

WHY I FART IN PUBLIC - I don't give a sh*t ! - Duration: 6:06.

what would I give right now to see your face expression the moment you just read

that title hey guys what's up it's Celine here and I'm so happy you clicked on

this video and found this channel which is all about living your life you want

to live in being the kind of person you want to be if you're interested

in those kind of topics make sure to subscribe to not miss out on anything so

if you know me a little you know that that title is more of a metaphor and

this is not all about me being freak in today's video I'm gonna discuss

everything about worrying what other people think of us and how to liberate

from that so me putting a video like that online on the internet searchable

and visible for everyone who wants to I'm putting myself in a kind of position

where I provoke a certain reaction I do something an action which provokes

reaction like everything else in the world obviously with this title I

provoke a certain reaction so basically I love people judge what I know is that if

you scroll through your feed click on that video because of the title and because

you might think like what the hell and you actually watch that video you might

get my message or there's a high chance you get my message and you know you

won't think I'm crazy anymore and you might get something out of it

but there's also the possibility that you just scroll through your feed see

that video with that title and be like what a freak and just keep scrolling

never actually getting what I'm talking about and therefore judging me

for being freak what everyone needs to understand we can never control a

reaction so I have no control about you clicking on this video or not obviously

when you're watching it right now and you listen what I'm saying you did it

the thing is we can't control a reaction ever let's take a simple example let's

say you pick out an outfit which is pretty basic leave out any

attention-grabbing colors or accessories just because you don't want to be judged

and you don't want to you know grab attention

I'm sure there are people who like your outfit because you know it's basic and

then there are people who don't like your outfit at all because it's basic

there are people who might like your outfit because you wear shoes they do

like and then there might be people who hate your outfit because you wear shoes

their cheating ex-girlfriend liked you know what I mean it's totally based on

stuff like personal experience personal opinion, memories all that stuff that

you first can't influence and second of all you can't consider so whatever you

think before that you know you grab that outfit because you think it's not

attention grabbing so people might not judge you about it that you're on the

safe side but you can't even consider that all of the impossible reactions

it's not possible because it's all based on so many different things and it's so

individual and that's the point like it's just impossible to control it so

why do we even try it this example of picking and outfit is

just a super simplified version of everything we do even if we do

everything we want to do in life where we think it's usually and widely and

mostly accepted and seen as common and seen as standard there might be people

who dislike it and judge you for the exact same reasons other people like it

that's why judging a reaction and the judgmental statement at the end is

always about the judge and not about the one who gets judged so if there's no

way in the world you can please everyone why don't we use try to please the one

person where we can control the reaction and where we know the opinion and where

we know if it will be okay with it or not and that one person is just our self

and that's what what everyone needs to understand I think and what makes

your life so much easier if you once realize that

you can kind of liberate yourself from all the worrying because you know what

you can't control it, why even try so back to why this video title is kind of a

metaphor so I can't control how you perceive the title and I can't control

how you perceive the message and I can't control how you perceive the content

can't control how you perceive myself all I can do is just share my opinion in

that way I want to share my opinion raise some awareness of that topic and

how you perceive it and how you receive it and what you're going to do with the

information that's totally up to you so that's it what I wanted to say I hope it

makes you think a little and I hope not every one of you is just disappointed

that I actually didn't talk about farting in this video I hope you like to

give me some feedback it would be awesome if you're more of a reader than a listener I

have all my videos summarized in blog posts on my blog where you can go

through it again and it's just written down for some people it's just easier to

get it then so link is in the description box yeah check out my other videos if

you're like into self-development achieving goals that kind of stuff and I would

love to see you next time have a great day bye bye (time and consume our energy

and our money and if we could just don't do them because we actually don't

really want to do them we would save that time and can use that time for

things we actually do want to do you know where I'm coming from so let's talk

about this today how liberating would it be if we stop doing things because

we were told to do them and start just doing the things we do care about...)

Public Services Committee Meeting 10-3-2017 - Duration: 34:14.

good morning it's 11:00 a.m. I'm going to call the Public Services Committee

meeting to order and with that we'll have roll call please Spisz present Tietz here

McGillivray here Jackson is absent with notice Berman is not here yet Dwyer here you have a quorum

please join me in the pledge

yeah well thank you very much with that will last promotion for the approval of

the Menace from the September 28th 2017 meeting moved by commissioners biz

supported by Commissioner dates any discussion seeing none all in favor

signify by saying aye opposed same sign thank you now I'll ask for a motion that

approval of the agenda moved by Commissioner mcgillvary supported by

Commissioner spizz any discussion seeing none all in favor signify by saying aye

aye aye opposed same sign thank you I'll now open it up for public

comments if you come forward in you and that would like to make any comments yes

come forward please identify yourself in the city village or Township you live in

and we have a three-minute rule in effect for the agenda comments

hello my name is Karen Irwin and I live in Plymouth Michigan and I'm here about

the change your kennel again just want to make sure you guys are aware that

Lavonia on the same case has pressed charges of animal neglect and cruelty

five counts plus the absence of license tag on five individual dogs housed at

the kennel in Farmington Hills based on the same case pictures testimony as

Oakland County has and yet Oakland County is not pressing animal neglect

and cruelty charges and I'm just wondering if we can get an update on why

there is such a discrepancy between the two counties I just bring out just

briefly say I'm sure you're aware of it that is an ongoing investigation and it

is being presented to the prosecutor's office yeah on

when neglect is this bad I'm not sure I understand why the dogs are still housed

at that kennel conditions are so bad they're impacting their health

why haven't they at least been made to go to a different kennel that is better

conditions that isn't impacting their health and well-being

just wondering about that and if we can speed up the process at all I'll just

make a brief comment on you're aware that there's an agreement been reached

and that kennel is going to be closed permanently within the next month or so

the agreement that was reached which we have not been able to see so we don't

actually know what's in the agreement the agreement apparently is allowing

allowing this location to close it's not preventing her from moving elsewhere

taking her dogs with her which is just the same neglect so yes this facility

specifically in Farmington Hills is closing that does nothing to help the

animals that are in that facility so yes the agreement has this facility

closing and if you are all happy with that agreement I am NOT the agreement

does nothing to protect the animals and I'll rest my case there thank you for

your comments anyone else like to make public comments Pam

good morning good morning thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak again

today I'll be real quick the last time I was here yes answered Oh found her a

puppy mill awareness to Southeast Michigan I'm also the founder of

Michigan Friends of companion animals and I'm also district clear if you mean

Society the United States um the last time I was here I presented my animal

cruelty study which took me a long time its covers a three year period of

tickets that were pressed processed through the court system through animal

control I had our attorneys looking at it I have my colleagues look at and it

is ready for publication I have presented the summary to mr. Newman I

have not been able to meet with the department but we do have we've

incorporated a recommendation so I will be forwarding the entire study and

recommendations to the committee and I would love to have a meeting to just

talk about opportunities for improvement but I also wanted to add on to what

Karen had to say we don't agree with the agreement I brought this this binder

here this includes all the documents that were part of the June 1st

inspection in Farmington Hills which was prepared by senior officers and Ron

shangkun they did a good job this is this is a lot of evidence a lot of

photos and this is this is shows evidence of cruelty and one thing I

noticed in this packet was a letter from the county's veterinarian who inspected

the dogs is pretty powerful letter and I think she you can feel her frustration

in this letter and she talks about the five freedoms that these dogs do not

have

that letter was removed from the electronic copy it's not available in

the public records that I was provided later it's only the hardcopy

so I don't know if it was actually pulled or not but I will be providing

that letter from the veterinarian that proves nine dogs were impacted by the

conditions any other agency would have removed all the animals and not allowed

her to try to seek treatment it looks like treatment was not provided

I think we had a strong case in June I think the department did a good job I

think maybe some man different decisions were made that we should have not been

made to make an agreement and that's why we keep coming back I am also here today

to meet with Commissioner Gershon since she is part of Farmington Hills and she

wants to help work on some solutions in this case and overall at the shelter so

we have we're gonna provide some recommendations to her as well today to

try to cope with some ideas to to move forward so I I hope the department will

meet with me about this study that's what I'm really hoping for and so

hopefully mr. Newman will meet with me today briefly or at a designated time

thank you for your comments thank you thank you anyone else okay seeing none

excellent thank you moving on to our next item a circuit court approval for

yishun of one additional Circuit Court Judge ship which would be effective

January 1st 2019 and this move by Commissioner teeths supported by

Commissioner spizz and we have as our presenters Kevin off shiner is it

oftener oftener yeah and with you I judge Lisa Linton I thought so judge

welcome you again so I would you like to pry this with the information needed

sure I would first of all commissioners I want to thank you for considering this

request we appreciate it and we appreciate her time very much with me is

judge Lisa lengthened a judge lengthen and a former life was so one of the

administrators for the Circuit Court she has been dealing with family division

matters for a long time and is very very knowledgeable about all things family

division so she graciously gave up her time this morning she's very busy but so

I'll be happy to come down and answer any questions and I'll get into why

specifically the family division in a moment in order to get a new judgeship

in any of the trial courts in the state of Michigan to approvals are required

there has to be legislative authority and there has to be funding unit

approval so legislative authority has already been obtained there is a bill

that was signed that authorizes a new Circuit Court Judge ship for this

Circuit Court affected January 1 2019 the second part of that

is the resolution that's before you that resolution if approved would then allow

for the Circuit Court judgeships oh it's not approved just because there's

legislation until you approve it you might be wondering why the January 1

2019 date and why we're coming down now so early two reasons one is that state

law requires that a resolution be adopted by the board and if that

resolution is adopted it has to be submitted to the state court

administrative office something like 17 weeks before the August primary so if

you go backwards that's sometime in mid April of next year so that's partly why

we're doing it a little early but even more so candidates who might be

interested in the judgeship should it be approved have to get nominating

petitions they have to circulate those that could be a couple month process and

I think that those typically are submitted by a deadline in April so

they're gonna want to start probably December or January and that's one of

the reasons for the primary reason we're coming down so early with this request

the effective date as I mentioned would be January 1 2019 if approved I

mentioned the Family Division and that Judge LinkedIn has signed a Family

Division docket as you see in the resolution our intent is to assign the

benches to intent is to assign this judgeship should it be approved to the

Family Division just so you you may not know the Circuit Court basically has

four different kinds of cases that adheres it has Family Division cases and

I'll get into that a little bit more explicitly in a moment business court

cases general civil cases and criminal cases so we really have kind of two

divisions or three divisions in the circuit court we have judges who have a

civil criminal docket we have judges who have a business court criminal docket

and then we have judges who have a family docket and in the family docket

those are very important cases because they're dealing with families that with

children some of the cases that judge lengthen

and her colleagues here in the family docket are neglect matters the

termination of parental rights juvenile delinquency matters adoptions divorce

cases involving children and not involving children those that involve

children often have parenting time custody and support issues associated

with them and the Supreme Court has placed a great

deal of emphasis on hearing those cases in a timely way and right now our need

is in the Family Division and so the bench unanimously or without objection

has agreed that this judgeship should it be approved will be assigned to the

Family Division of the circuit court the county executive supports this request

that were grateful for that support and lastly you'll see in the resolution that

our judges did this on their own volition

they although it's entirely possible we could have been asked to do this but

even before that the judges said we feel that this is important enough that we're

going to make this request we don't want any budget impact on the county so the

judges agreed that they're going to cut make budget cuts those cuts will come

from the Sheriff's Department I'm sorry I misspoke they're actually going to

come from the circuit court and we haven't actually finalized those budget

cuts yet but we're in the process of doing that our bench will be voting on

that and in you'll see in your 2019 budget request from the court then

should this resolution be approved cuts that will equal be equal to or greater

than the cost of the new judgeship so that it will be budget neutral to the

county that's kind of a real high level we know that there may be some questions

so we're more than happy to answer those I don't know if judge Lincoln has any

additional comment sir but we're here to answer questions that you might have

could you explain what type of cases are handled by the the Family Court and the

increases that you've experienced over the last couple years because I know

there's been a dramatic increase as far as the workload and that's one of the

main reasons I believe that you're asking for this new

shit correct right so I'm happy to answer that and I brought visual aids

today too so I brought my calendar so you can see what our calendar is like

and I'm not gonna lie I'm happy to get around but I guess the point is that I'm

like our calendar looks kind of like this so every day we have emergency

things that we must deal with we have personal protection orders that we must

deal with we have weekly motion calls that are motion calls now average about

40 motions a morning these are my motion call dockets 60% of those are post

judgments so the numbers that you see on new case filings that's you know sort of

relevant but what you don't see on there because it's not-it's captured nowhere

which drives me insane but it's all the post judgment work so whenever a

whenever we get a divorce judgment final we still have jurisdiction over that

case as long as there's one child under the age of 18 so like for instance my

motion call on any given week probably it's probably about 60% of them our post

judgment matters so not new cases at all and so that's what's dramatically

affects our docket we also hear juvenile neglect and abuse delinquency cases and

what I want to say about those is if you look at the time guidelines that the

state court administrator believes is a fair and reasonable time to dispose of

these cases all the time a child gets placed into care or taken out of their

home until the time that we can try this case we are woefully behind in that

which is shameful to us we are vigilantly work

on that but our caseload is such we basically have to have for each neglect

area they have to have three trials three mini trials we have to have a

trial run jurisdiction which can be a jury trial I had one this last week you

have to have a trial on statutory basis and then you have to tab to trial on

best interest each case gets three trials and each case is likely have

about four lawyers so trying to coordinate four lawyers and a prosecutor

in a few weeks time is a nightmare for us

given our volumes so we are not getting those done in the way that we should be

getting them done and we are in the process of trying to revamp our whole

juvenile system to try to cut days off of this trying to use technology and

some of the things but it's it's bottom line scheduling so we hear an abuse

neglect their personal protection orders we have several thousands of those a

year we've just recently had a PPO visiting judge starting part-time PPO

visiting times but we've just given us some relief those are the non-domestic

so so we don't we keep all of our domestic stuff because sometimes they're

tied to neglect cases and in domestic cases another domestic side you hear

children are domestic divorces with kids without kids we hear all the paternity

actions filed by the prosecutor's office we hear separate child support cases

separate child custody cases and any well surrogacy cases I mean I can go on

but those are the general that's the general workload that we have and our

numbers our numbers for the number of judges we have hearing

and we're doing our best to manage that but we're right now if you wanted a

trial in front of me you would be looking in January which is sad because

some of these cases deal with you know kids and families in parenting time and

custody and support and those are immediate attention we can't get to me

thank you judge appreciate that any any other questions yeah mr. McGill ring

yeah don't get me wrong I'm not saying that I'm opposed to adding a judge yeah

but I'm gonna vote no today and the reason I'm going to vote no is because I

have no backup material I have a resolution in front of me that says that

you want there's no effect well I need backup material as to what

it's gotta cost here we have and most importantly the need for this some way

you can demonstrate the need I wouldn't be a good Commissioner fiscal steward of

the taxpayers money if I just vote YES for this so today I'm going to be voting

no and hopefully I'd get some backup mr. Smith

question about so right now in Oakland County between the probating Circuit

Court judges we have 23 judges and we have 24 courtrooms so I mean we may have

to do some adjusting or moving around but we have the facilities to do it we

will not be asking money for that to mr. McGill ring I'd also like to see a

breakdown of total cost and its staff judgeship it's and you know I mean

you're hopefully in the past when you've seen our budget we it's the same as what

you which mine is and I think we have a total number well I can address the cost

real quickly uh the cost for new judge chef is about 360

to 370 thousand and that includes the for support personnel every judge has a

staff attorney a secretary and two court clerk's and then there's operating costs

they have to have computers telephones and so forth so it's about 360 to 370

thousand the judges salary is paid for entirely by the state judge Lincoln gets

two paychecks paychecks bi-weekly she gets one from the county and one from

the state and then the county is reimbursed in full quarterly for the

cost of the county checks that their judges received so the judge is sort of

free except there are a few fringe benefit costs that the county does fair

but we're committed to so if it's three hundred and seventy thousand we're going

to make three hundred and seventy thousand dollars in cuts in our budget

so that it's budget neutral to the county so I can I can put that

commissioner in more of a spreadsheet format for you but that those are the

numbers okay thanks any other questions Commissioner teeth

additional judges sufficient to solve these problems or in two years are we

going to be back at the table same issues so it's a really good question

and we've always had we're not really we're not asking for less work and

that's how I look at this request so and we really believe looked hard within our

own numbers to see if we can divert other judicial resources which we

recently did when the twenty when actually when my seat came on board in

2014 if you recall that was judge MacDonald's C and we suspended judge

McDonald C when he retired to save money to meet our budget tasks our cuts that

were so significant several years ago and so when we restored that C we put it

in family division we knew the need was there and that was a help but I think

the long-term answer is that our belief is the additional judgeship will give us

not just relief for us but what allow us to serve our cases in a much efficient

way and then it also takes away some of the wrangling within the ranks to try to

see if we could deport more judges that we thought about taking another judge

out of the civil criminal but we've already taken one from them business

court is likely going to need more resources so we're robbing Peter to pay

Paul so we believe that with this additional judgeship at least for the

foreseeable long-term future we would be good sure yeah Mike we need put the

resources behind this because I think as you outlined it's a special type of

Cruelty to have to tell a family or a child oh it's another four months or six

months and that's a special type of cruelty that in government we should

always try to avoid so thank you and I guess my my point would be let us know

if this continues to be a issue as far as the timeline getting scheduled to

come that's why people just like government you can't get things

processed and then it's also why many of us are involved in government so that's

why I brought my schedule because I want you to see it's not that I have all

these blank days and I'm not trying to get work done it's that I don't have one

things to get things to know I'm trying to be field aware transparent here it is

yeah and it's hard to define our work on Commissioner of Gilbert because part of

it is you see numbers for new case filings but what we can't what they

don't put out there what scheme doesn't have a line item for is all the

post-judgment work we have so all of that is is not recorded so it's very

frustrating to us because even if the numbers are increasing by one or two

percent the amount of extra work we do when the hearings we set are many times

for cases I haven't seen in five years but here you go here's another issue

that just came up they want to change schools they want to move out of state

whatever those are our cases still forever so so judge handle trial abuse

cases percentage-wise what do they represent child abuse cases in family

court so the numbers are percentage-wise ten percent of our cases the workload

associated with that is probably 40 percent of our brothers so this new

judgeship wouldn't go into effect until 2019 are we creating an additional

hardship on these cases as far as child abuse cases I mean

the best we can and so the one of the little bit of relief from the visiting

PPO judge which by the way if this goes through we will get rid of the visiting

judge so that'll go towards the cost of the new judge I mean we will manage how

we've been managing but we've come to the point where we've determined you

know we just got our workload performance Pharmacy County Oakland

County we out of the five big counties we are at the bottom of the step time

she might my concern based on my background is the child abuse cases

because I I continue to see them you know no matter what city or county

you're in and so it's a major concern a major problem they're complicated cases

they require a lot of work there are hours and hours and days and days of

trial and we will continue to do the best we can to make sure those are at

the top of the stack and that's that's what our thank you any other questions

not roll call vote please thank you

yes yes yes motion carries anything else to offer -

Thank You commissioners we appreciate anything down they will Auto BER 18

it will move to communication so we have three items I need a motion to receive

it's progressing and long at the shelter in Farmington Hills

we had an inspection a couple of weeks ago that inspection like the report to

me was that the animals had been groomed she's down to 16 instead of it was an

improvement over the over the previous visits the vet needs are being addressed

that's at as you know tomorrow is our grand

opening our new facility looking forward to that hope you can make it any

Richard M. Fairbanks School of Public Health Celebrates Fifth-Year Anniversary - Duration: 6:04.

Hello.

As the founding dean here at the Richard M. Fairbanks School of Public Health, it's

an honor to celebrate our school's five year anniversary.

I am immensely proud of the faculty, staff, students, alumni, and supporters who have

all helped make the Fairbanks School of Public Health what it is today.

From the feasibility study funded by the Lilly Foundation to the generous gift of the Richard

M. Fairbanks Foundation to the many accomplishments we've made these past five years, we've

hit milestones that each play an integral role in our journey.

Public health matters now more than ever, and our goal to advance the public's health

and well-being can only happen through education, innovation, and leadership.

Well, I started the original program which was in the department of, actually the school

of medicine.

In 1994 Chancellor Bepco and doctor, Dean Dally said "Hey we need a school of public

health in Indiana.

We've got a lot of health problems and we need a school."

A school allows you to bring together a critical mass of faculty, the resources, some infrastructure

to allow you then to begin to do quality research."

A school of public health helps sort of bring those resources and expertise of the faculty

that are here, brings those resources to bear with our community partners that exist through

state and local government.

Looking at my last eight years here at the school of public health, the tremendous growth.

When I came there were eight faculty and I was number nine; we weren't a school.

And so the tremendous growth and change, and yet I think the character has remained the

same.

The same thing that brought me here is still here.

I would say not only do we have access to all the resources of an R-1 university, but

we also have people who really are staked in kind of our combined growth as a school.

And that's a really special thing to be a part of.

I think the opportunities that Fairbanks gives to have some availability to do capstone projects

or internships and externships to get real-world experience is unique.

It's really great to see why these students want to be in public health.

I think a lot of them discover our program when they get here to IUPUI, so we're really

great at the parallel planning and helping the students along the way figure out what

major they want to pick from our school, because of how they want to help people.

It's a good school, good colleagues, great opportunity, just so much actually happening

around Indiana and Indianapolis in particular.

Around health, population health, public health.

There's a real degree of movement in the right direction and it's really cool to

be a part of that.

I mean the center has been around longer than the school.

And we've been lucky to be able to inherit the center as part of the Fairbanks School

of Public Health.

The mission of the Center for Health Policy is really to generate evidence for informed

decision-making around health in the state of Indiana and nationwide.

The Center for Public Health Practice is …It's an idea that we kind of developed to help

actually teach public health practice alongside the academic parts of public health.

It really is foundational for our school to engage students in practice so that we can

train the best public health leaders of the future.

What I was learning in the classroom is now what I am going to be actually doing.

Because of the presence of our school and training people, we now have students out

there who are leading agencies.

They're leading departments.

They're key to the success of the health of Indiana and that's exciting to see.

In a large vibrant community such as Indianapolis, there's lots to be exposed to, not only

in the city, but then just the campus in general.

You've got lots of exposure, I think, to the medical school, the law school, nursing.

I mean all of the different disciplines that I think make public health the exciting place

that it is.

It's kind of humbling to come in to a classroom and have a completely different perspective

that's given to you from the students and their attitudes and their enthusiasm.

I see a wide range of potential for the school, especially because I'm the president of

our undergraduate association.

So I'm really excited to work with professors like Tom Duszynski and Leah and Sarah Johnson.

Whether they are working at home or anywhere they go in the world, we want our graduates

to be comfortable and to excel in multicultural settings where people come from many different

backgrounds and world views.

We make this possible in a number of ways through our approach to teaching, research

and service learning.

I joined the Fairbanks School of Public Health four years ago as a department chair of epidemiology.

I have to say that I'm thrilled to see the fantastic growth of epidemiology department.

Together, we have made a great deal of achievement.

I received the scholarship that Fairbanks has just begun providing to graduate students.

So when the scholarship came out it was a huge deal because it helped me continue my

education.

I really would not have been able…

I would've had to stop.

It would have put a halt to my education if I hadn't received the scholarship.

I just always found a friendly atmosphere at Fairbanks School of Public Health.

I always found a friendly environment here.

Thank you for everyone who has helped make our success possible and congratulations on

five years of groundbreaking work.

Together, we are improving the public's health.
