a work ethic, discipline, values, etc. because if you give these resources to someone who does not have discipline and the correct values, you are wasting these resources because they will not know what to do with them. right? so washington is making an argument here that somehow people of african descent coming out of slavery have to develop , if they do not already have it, the discipline necessary to carry them forward. so washington uses his own life as an example of the kind of discipline people of african descent ought to have. he talks about his route to hampton institute, where he slept under the boardwalk, goes and get money for his journey, and he gets to hampton, and he remembers the lessons taught by mrs. ruffner about how to clean, and he says that was my entrance examination. in terms of the building blocks, we have first the sense of discipline, hard work, ethics, etc., the lessons that mrs. ruffner taught him. then he meets a man. a colonel, right? remember him? armstrong? what did armstrong teach him? >> [

they're not going to offer going to all run going to all run away at once etc. etc. etc.. well you know it turns out that some of the same errors were made and some of the same miscalculations and assumptions that blew up the system in 1837. but finance folks come back in after 1837 and they are willing to lend again because cotton generate so much revenue they get so much profit. what i'm saying is that profit from the suffering of people like charles ball was spread across the atlantic world. it wasn't just in the south. so the wealth that it generated is still everywhere. it was not all burned up by william tecumseh sherman. a lot of it is here in boston for instance. boston is not unique in that. we have to remember that when we are talking about reparations and we have to remember that this isn't just about morality that these bad things were done. it's about the fact that wealth was transferred by a particularly fair when process process and that wealth is still brown. if we decide to think about while it's not just enough said is held by one group of people but also

it is touch smaller communities such as arminians greeks etc. who once formed great numbers inside the middle east and i think the tragic circumstances of the syrian civil war and now the regional conservation may lead to the acceleration of this process that has been happening very slowly into my eyes relatively undetected for more than a century. so this final point about the gradual homogenization of the middle east the disappearance of communities rooted in the region for centuries and centuries been suspected that conversation i had with my friend and the old city of damascus in 2009. when i think that for that conversation his comments, his opinions chafed against me. they seemed so other than my own sensibilities as an american coming from society that was rightfully celebrating the progress of a community that have historically been marginal african-americans to president obama the first black president. in hindsight i wondered if perhaps there was wisdom that a certain degree of prophecy and what my friend said not that great culture an

folks would call him "the lord," etc. anytime a person achieves that sort of status, they will have detractors and haters. martin luther king was a tremendous national and international figure. no question about that. life is different for us because andr. king's leadership what that movement was able to do, the civil rights movement. but life is also different because of what booker t. washington was able to do. martin luther king even credited booker t. washington with some of the successes of the early parts of the civil rights movement because some of the civil rights movement was also economic justice. later on when dr. king was , the march on washington was to march 250,000 people to washington, d.c., and bring the united states government to a halt. lay down on runways so planes could not take off, and that kind of stuff. just literally a huge act of civil disobedience. the demand was everyone in america be guaranteed a minimum livable wage. was what the king movement, the civil rights movement ultimately ended at

i found in interviews and newspapers etc. i've tried to show how complex it is and isn't just black versus white but very gray and you have to be careful when you are reading the memoirs of the german survived the war and the suspicions. you have to be suspicious but there are still was a tone many folks have no sympathy for. are germans, did they feel lonely. but there was still an element of confusion. i'm happy to read more but i would really like to ask questions about this period and let's see how that goes. remember you are supposed to raise your hand and someone is going to give you a microphone. >> can you hear me click >> i can hear you. i don't know if c-span can. >> have you done another book about a german/nazi occupation and come up with similar anecdotes, similar feelings and innuendos quick >> without a doubt. the reason i concentrate is number one his number one i know it very well and they've been i've been there many times. the second, it is the most loved, most filmed, return of the city in all of europe. w

it's addressed but right now the ordinance doesn't give us the information and have the restrabts, etc. so the current proposal goes a lot way in addressing the issues in dbi we're confronted with the 5 we have let me back up this ordinance as written for the existence quite a few no one utilized it it we had two complaints in the last 20 years and now 25 in the last few months those issues we're talking about are addressed by the additional tool that the current legislation paroles. >> that's helpful the short-term rentals is not a new issue i want to make that clear it was introduced long before craig's list, etc. we knew that tenant were taking those units off the market by using them as a vacation rental and there are rentals from building near the waterfront we certainly want to enforce against it, it's interesting you on the got 2 complaints over 15 years and now 25 the proposed legislation addresses a lot of the challenges that dbi had in its ability but are there other things that are helpful on the legislation that has happened to enforce again landlords or attended that are p

of the same situations, that you have heard countless people where medicine for blood pressure and etc. and etc., and with the help of ace, a huge, demonstration was put on in front of the bank, and they were embarrassed, and press was there, and tv coverage, the bank called us from 6.5 to 3.6 interest rates, but the missing two years that i had not paid on the advice of one of the groups that i paid at least $10,000 to to try to help us save our home they are never performed on the advice of us, i did not pay the mortgage because it would help us get a modification and that was not true, and so the two years was tacked on to the end of the loan and so the bank is going to come out all right. wells fargo would not work with us on a second. and so, at age 70 i am left with good health and i work 50 to 70 hours a week to try to pay that mortgage down so that i can perhaps, retire, by the age of 75. and i feel very blessed 11 people live in our home, 6 of our grandchildren live there and i don't know where we would have been we learn in the city, named after saint francis and better follo

given federal and state, tax laws, and etc., etc.? >> can we implement this without being in violation of federal laws? >> we have, we have been doing it so far and it has not, been, any trouble, and many of our employers take advantage of it and have the hr departments that have in the brokers that we have worked with, saw, no problem. >> okay. >> so... >> and in i think that commissioner taylor-mcghee? >> i have some concerns about the out of pocket minimum. the $4,000 to a maximum, and the $4,000 to the $6360 and so i am trying to wrap my brain around you know, is someone just said a minute ago, something about a mobility and what is relative, right? >> and so, how does this and what was the sort of take away if you will when you were trying to figure that out, and is it the deductible with that, balance, or the... >> yes. it was. >> so on to speak, one are on the other. >> it is not one are the other, it is both. >> we lowered the deductible and a lot of plans were come misser ate with that and we increased the out of pocket maxim

code compliant it is this is a modest edition and skillfully done discussions about the privacy glass, etc. i don't think anything we can request an agreement between the two parties involved i happen to live in a very tight light well and while i see my neighbors i don't stand at the window to see what they're doing in urban live you might see each other but no intent of interfering with other people's so this argument did not ring true i understand the light and appreciate it we're in no position to deal with that as an argument unless there's a disrespect for are not notches? not a full light well by definition i'm in support of the project and actually would suggest that i'm make a motion to move to approve. >> second and commissioner antonini. >> yeah. i feel the same way again, the option in privacy situations that the party that may want nor privacy can have shuttles or shades for privacy we're in a dense urban area and almost any place i live in the city is going to have vision going into a window where people can be able to see outside a little bit better it seems like the light w

will they stick to the strategy, etc. how is the company going to deal with the pressure of diabetes and the pricing pressures in the u.s. >> pharmaceutical companies employ smart people. they need to have these kinds of guys. a such a thing happened to media company you would be talking about people locking the door. does that happen at pharmaceutical companies? >> i do not have data but i think not. it is possible that some of the key elements, vicki operators within the business who were allied with chris viehbacher, he brought in, might follow him elsewhere or decide this sounds to concern for me. i will do something. there are a number of biotech companies. that is possible. -- i think it is not as acute as you would have expected if this was a tech company. >> thank you. european research at bloomberg intelligence. >> deutsche bank has swung to a 94 million euro loss in the third quarter. on litigation charges. germany's lender set aside almost 900 million euros. hansng us with more is nichols. let's start with numb

., etc.. from the humanitarian standpoint that is a tragedy not reported on right now and that is as desperate as you could imagine because there is no other health care of any kind. and the fact to me is also another storyline that talks about what happens when you have these failed states situations and we have what's going on. the health system collapse has been incredible so don't just talking over to build up the ebola treatment centers we have to build an entire healthcare system if we are going to impact even ebola. it's going to be very important. and again i come back to the fact i want to leave no lack of clarity. i believe the only thing we can do is continue to try the treatment to try to to do as much as we can to isolate the infected individuals and quarantine. but i'm ready to acknowledge, you know, i'm swimming 4 miles an hour at the current 6 miles an hour. it's not going to be enough. let's not fool ourselves into don't tell the world it's not going to be enough but we have t

., etc. so any country that goes against this international convention, that's a really big deal. and bolivia went against it, they withdrew from the convention because coca is a big part of the indigenous culture, but now bolivia has this huge cocaine problem even though their president said, oh, no, no, no, yes to coca but no to cocaine, and that's really worked out well for them. but bolivia wanted back in. they just wanted that kind of exception for their cultural issues. even bolivia recognizes that, you know, being out of that convention, that's kind of a big international, that's something to be looked down upon. so uruguay being a kind of insignificant country relatively speaking in the grand scheme of things, they said somebody has to do something different. i don't know that that's going to be some big chain reaction, but it's drawn a lot of attention. >> right. >> and now that we have this movement as far as, you know, medicinal marijuana and now, you know, colorado and washington

., etc. i know there's an initiative around those areas that the department has i think this also i think fundamentally a need to do what you mentioned at the beginning which is did he mystify the environment with the department of the environment does outside of our neighborhoods i think there's - you know what can cite the powell that's been done statewide how amongst the communities of collar the concerns for climate is a big priority that's the kind of ethnic that exists in san francisco but i think the way that we talk about it on the ground is often different how it's talked about within the parks and within city agencies so how is it we're making those connections and speaking the same language part of our experience in terms of the planning work we often feel we're traitors on the one hand engaging the neighborhoods and doing the planning work on the neighborhood level and then translating that to planners at the department similarly the technical things we've transmitted in a differe

the playground and civic centers the grove street coordinate project and the one between the library, etc. that's not mentioned and that is something it needs to be moved on and got to the front of the part i said before or put the cart before the hours. >> is there anyone who wishes to speak on the item? >> good afternoon mike buehler with the san francisco heritage based on the comments 70 so far this document might came back come back to the commission so we'll withhold our final comments, however, would like to support commissioner wolfram's comment unplaza and civic center plaza be reevaluated regarding as to whether or not their character finding features overall and like to see that analysis be incorporated into the final document coming back before you thank you very much. >> any other of the member wishz to speak seeing none, back to you, commissioners. >> commissioner johns. >> thank you, mr. buehler i think maybe was quite perceive i think we should take a little bit more time it's not ready to be adapted today i think that the comments made by mr. haas and staff has already re

sunnis out of the office and antagonize them, serving in the military, etc. do you think if the u.s. had not short him up to the extent that they did, he would have fallen earlier? >> i really don't know. i don't think it matters right now. the problem is now we're dealing with a consequences not just of maliki's politics, but everything that has been happening for the last eight years. really a really having vision or strategy. i just want to point out that it is important to remember the timing of the was intervention. isis took over mosul and took over all of these villages and it is only when i says was close to where there is a cia office and there are corporate oil interests that then the united states moved much faster. again, we all was have to repeat that. this has nothing to do with the humanitarian issues. nothing at all. you would think that we would learn that humanitarian issues are not the reason why there's an intervention. we always have to look at your politics, and maybe, of course, jim and with some opposition or voices of criticism in the

and all the problems in terms of the earthquake safety and all the issues and automobile accidents, etc. it's a matter of what we want to do for the future of san francisco if we want to pile one million and a half in san francisco this will hurt our mobility and ♪ the event of a major earthquake it could lead to disaster >> kelly your thoughts. >> thank you, again pier 70 was an hub of vibrant activity that is now forgotten and measure f will revitalized this unacceptable area with waterfront parks and jobs and housing the revitalization needs an investment of $20 million to comploch the transportation and includes the affordable housing 9 arsz or acres will triple the amount of parks in dog patch today and thousands of new jobs that's why measure f has united people to create a consensus it is jiepd by the sierra club and the democratic-republican and green party the affordable housing alliance and many, many organizations and civic leaders i'm to encourage the as follows to vote yes on measure f. >> thank you both to your comments and time we hope this has been forgive for more inf

crisis arising, etc. i think some of that's been slightly kpexaggerated. we do know they've done some surveys by text messaging of hundreds of people and they've discovered, no surprise, that in the ebola-hit areas, people's income definitely has been hit badly. people are beginning to not have three meals a day, perhaps two, perhaps only one. maybe they've lost a family member. maybe as a trader, they've been quarantined and they can't go to markets and sell their goods and so on. so ebola is definitely hitting the incomes of the people in the three countries. >> mark doyle, who's in ghana for us. and you can keep across all the latest developments with regard to the ebola outbreak by visiting our special section of our website. there you'll find features, analysis including details of our new ebola public health information service on what's app. that's all at bbc news online. >>> rare talks between russian president vladimir putin and the ukrainian president petro poroshenko as well as other western leaders have been described as positive, although shar

justs the government not saying, he landed here at this time, etc.? >> the government knows and the cdc knows where he came from. they know the flight he arrived on. they know his travel route. cdc we heard from the director tom friedman yesterday is that there is no need to disclose that information right now to unduly make people never sit out a, because he did not display any symptoms during the course of his trip. if you don't display the symptoms, you are not at risk of exposing others to the ebola virus. symptomst display until some four days after he landed in dallas. that was on september 20. that was when he first started to show some symptoms. that is why we don't know the carrier or the route he took. but you can be sure people are asking questions about it, and certainly a lot of folks on the plane would like to know whether or not they have been exposed. at this point, the cdc has decided not to release that information. >> peter cook, thank you. --we enter the first quarter the fourth quarter. it has been at tumultuous 2014. place for gr

there's a lot of capability economically and etc. but i think increasingly people are assuming that as well as we see the effects of sequestration and declining budgets and etc. i think it's more a sense -- and again, people sensed this traveling through the region, it's a question of our resolve, commitment, judgment, what is ultimately being sought to be done here. and there are different reasons. obviously i think there is the sense of people looking at her opinion polls and obviously they can discern that americans are not too much into foreign policy at the moment and that could be changing. there is a question of national distraction to what extent americans are focused on. there is also sort of the question of national dysfunction you know, the question that america can't even fix its own fiscal problem, how will they help us when we really need them. and there is that fact that lingers out there. and then i would say that when it comes to asia and security policy, there's a lot of partisan security cooperation and it really i
