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.

1985: Rock Hudson's Death Hurls AIDS Into Public Consciousness. - Duration: 4:50.

In the early 80s, it was still a wonderful time because it seemed like everybody was

curious about gay life.

People wanted to hang out with gays and my co-workers where I was teaching were just

fascinated that I was going to Studio 54 and I was going to all these clubs and they were

very, very curious about my life.

I was out.

I was out to all my fellow teachers.

Many had asked me if they could come and see where I lived in Greenwich Village.

They had heard I have triplex on a beautiful street in Greenwich Village and they wanted

to see it.

I said sure, so we got together a group and it was all planned.

I had done some real preparations.

I had contacted a friend who had a loft, I contacted a friend who had a brownstone, and

I contacted a friend who lived in a high rise.

And I thought that I would show this group - they were all women, they were all women

who adored me - and I would show these women about four or five different types of living

spaces in Greenwich Village.

They were ecstatic - they were so excited and I was excited.

Well, that weekend before they were, the weekend before they were going to come in, Rock Hudson

died.

1985.

And before that, AIDS was in swing, but it wasn't in the public consciousness that much.

And that death and those headlines in the paper of Rock Hudson really was a milestone

in gay history, really, and in the history of of AIDS and HIV in this country because

one by one these women called me to cancel.

They made all kinds of excuses why next weekend wasn't going to work for them.

A wedding.

This.

That.

One of them was totally honest.

And she said, "Richard, I'm scared."

You know, what can you say when someone is that honest to you?

I understand.

You know, I don't like it.

I'm scared, too.

And I think that I respected her the most of all the others that made these silly excuses.

Nobody knew and so at least she was honest.

But of course, it was devastating to me, you know, that all of these women would cancel.

They were my friends.

And I was scared.

I didn't know.

Maybe they were right.

Maybe they were right to cancel.

Was my apartment infected?

Were my glasses infected?

Was my silverware infected?

Nobody knew there were no tests at that point to to figure out what it was coming from.

For me, because it was now in the forefront and straight people were aware of it and I

was working with mostly straight people, it really impacted how I interacted with other

people and I knew that they didn't know whether I was infected or not, so I wanted to make

sure I didn't feel any rejection from them.

So when hugging became - that was okay, but kissing - I was really afraid to kiss people

on the lips because I didn't want to experience them turning away from me.

And believe me, I've heard many horror stories about people's own family that would not

kiss them even on the cheek, much less the lips.

And so I remember making a conscious effort to turn away from almost everyone.

In fact, one time, my favorite actress Eva Marie Saint was in town and she was doing

a play.

And when we went out afterwards, she kissed me on the lips and I was taken aback a little

bit and of course I should've enjoyed that kiss because she was my favorite actress and

someone who I revered.

But I was almost mortified because I know that I kind of turned away from her, and what

she must of thought?

And I never was able to really explain that to her that you know, of course, it was my

own insecurity that made me do that.

But it impacted me for many years and to this day all when I kiss someone on the lips, I

am reminded that this is a recent thing and this is something that I have only recently

been comfortable with.

It many years to get over that.

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...)

College of Public Health Opens New Clinical Education Space - Duration: 3:36.

Coming into the classrooms

I mean everything is gorgeous and clean and organized like I said everything just has a very

modern feel where it's a very clear thinking space. Everything being updated everything being a little bit more ergonomic

has really made a huge difference and also by the use of the cameras that we have in the room,

you know just being able to see different things that you might not be able to see with the naked

eye, or your position in the classroom,

It's you know you don't have to move you can see it

directly on the screen exactly what you need to do and when you're working with patients

You know that's very important to be specific

and precise and to get a better view of that has really helped to enhance. I think my learning experience as a student physical therapist.

Having an environment like this where, for example, the sinks are lower

so they're more accessible to individuals in wheelchair or the countertops are made at that specific height.

So we're actually in the environment

and you have to problem-solve in the moment and that makes a huge difference in your

confidence when you go out into the field. You know it's easy when I get to mess up with my peers

This is kind of our environment to trial and error and make mistakes so that hopefully in the future

we're going to be a lot more confident and be able to do more with our clients.

We were serving students from all over the college all over the university, but in really in two spaces that were just large enough to

allow us to get our message across, but really not conducive to

learn well, and even further beyond that to keep them engaged. Our current situation now

I can't say enough for what it looks like aesthetically. It's great.

We have three labs running concurrently so we were actually able to almost double the capacity for anatomy one in the Fall semester

we'll do that for anatomy two in the spring. So numbers wise I mean we were able to add 12 sections

which I mean really helped alleviate a lot of waitlist issues

we were having, student frustration and delaying students in their academic plan and that's a huge issue.

This is such a critical class at only such a foundation for students that not getting into this

for the sole reason of not being able to fit really was was problematic. We are confident in what we were doing last year

and over the summer, but I think now the students are really seeing

something tangible in terms of how we're investing back in them, and I think that's great.

14. What other changes is LABC making to drive public sector building control forward? - Duration: 0:56.

LABC has changed its constitution so that we now have a standards group. That

standards group is made up of our regional chairs so we have good

representation across the whole of England and Wales. There is an

opportunity for us to to create an independent chair, and that independent chair

could come from industry and it could come from local government. We're looking

very closely at finding the right person to help move and drive public sector

building control forward and into the next era.

Sam Smith goes public with new boyfriend, 13 Reasons Why's Brandon Flynn - Duration: 3:22.

Sam Smith goes public with new boyfriend, 13 Reasons Why's Brandon Flynn

Sam Smith has gone public with his new romance with 13 Reasons Whys Brandon Flynn.

The loved up couple were seen arm in arm in New Yorks West Village, before the Too Good At Goodbyes singer planted a kiss on his new bloke.

The pair looked comfortable indulging in their PDA showing off their new romance, just a month after Sam Smith said he was very, very single.

Speaking about his new song on Beats 1, Sam, 25, said: This song is about me and about a relationship that I was in.

I'm still very, very single. I think I'm even more single than I was when I released In the Lonely Hour, so I'm insanely single..

Was that a huge double bluff or is this a whirlwind romance? Either way, these two are too cute. Brandon, 23, only came out a few weeks ago, and said he considers himself part of the LGBT community.

He recently pledged his support for the Australian Vote Yes campaign for same sex marriage to be legalised in the country. In a lengthy Instagram post, he wrote his disappointment at seeing a vote no message on an aerial banner.

Brandon said in response at the message: Just saw the vote no message in the sky, looming over Sydney. Thank you for raising money and hiring on a plane to write your lack of support amongst the clouds.

I hope your hate and lack of understanding fades, just like those words will.

Too many of my friends have been kicked out of their homes, kept in the closet, beat up, killed, ridiculed by church and state, institutionalized… and you are scared that if we vote YES, you wont be able to show your hate for Us.

Weve been scared shitless our whole lives thanks to all the stigmas that surround Us, stigmas that were set in place by the same kind of people who flew that plane over Sydney.

Weve fought, weve come out bravely even in our fear, and you wrote a message in the sky because youre scared.

Equality takes courage, it worries me that too many people in this world lack the balls to stand up for what is right. #fuckhate..

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.

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

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

yeah there's direct referral

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

and file a little bit mr. spizz or big mr. McGilvery all in favor signify by

saying aye aye opposed same sign okay other business I believe we have

yes please yeah mr. mark Newman who's the deputy county executive in charge of

many areas including Animal Control will give us an update on the investigation I

thought you were deputy well I did and you know why cause it deserve it because

you deserve it

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

so they're under vet care we're satisfied that is moving along

November 8th will be the hundred 20th day which is the agreement that the

county negotiated with in her attorney remember the egg will be

the final movie so and we will do an inspection that day also so that's where

that's at as you know tomorrow is our grand

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

questions any questions yeah we've negotiated with them that we would do

for inspections over that period over that four month period so surprise

inspections or little surprise inspection or no no as far as the case

of the president obviously no trust your Commissioner you know they don't they

don't write them cases so they're and they're not going to and just wait and

see what they mean to speak that won't give some kind of a ruling well I don't

know what

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.
