Environmental concern, the financial concern, which is a lot of individuals in oakland. It is this in the feeling of sadness when you see wasted food. There is something within us that we cannot name, and it is difficult to talk about. That is something we are trying to tap him as well. We have different angles. Thealk about how 25 of freshwater used in Food Production goes to food we never eat. We talk about how one in six people in Alameda County do not know where the next meal is going to come from. The majority are children or Senior Citizens. We talk about the financial implications that up to 2200 a year for the average consumer and what they are spending on food they never eat. We do a lot of different levels. I think the Biggest Issue is it is coalition building, working together. We need macro and micro change. In the trenches, we need more food recovery programs. We need people working on gleaming programs. We need to figure out different ways that in everyday practice we get
Our piper we had the last few years has injured his hand. I do not know if he will be able to continue. What i thought ray did a magnificent job. If he can continue with us, great. And we will have two more scottish piper is a little bit later. If they want to come back, i will be glad for them to. He will hear them later. You will hear them later. Anyway, i do want to make note of the people that have helped us a lot in this service. The arlington people that have been over backwards. We have already mentioned steve. We could not do this ourselves, melanie and me. Our next it says in the program that the next speaker will be fbi director james komi. There are things that changed in this program. He is out of town. He sends his regrets. Unavoidable thing that happened after the program had been printed. Anyway, he is not here. But i get to introduce our next speaker, who is the head of the tsa. And he is a wonderful man that has been coming for the last i dont know. Three or four years
This thing. I remembered more than two weeks after the bombing we went over to lockerbie, and i saw my mother crossed the room and start lecturing Margaret Thatcher about how justice had to be done. I thought, what is she doing . But that was just her getting started. Her good friend, and mclachlan, i remember kathleen on the phone with her. We were not getting much sleep back then. I remember her yelling at her friend, saying, i will not have my son die in vain. Justice has to be done. I knew then that even though my brother was dead that our lives were going to change. When ann was asked to leave the commission to investigate what happened and how i could have been prevented, she knew she had no choice, or kathleen would have killed her as well. [applause] [laughter] kathleen helped work with frank and and on the commission as a pseudostaff member. She quickly became a force. She made many trips back to new york to join protests at the u. N. People in the situations often use their g
In. Everybodys got something. If you are having a bad day, it is really easy to have that spiral in your mind. Of,ng the dialogue everybodys thought about it, but nobody talks about it, and very few people admit having thought about it, making it more of a Community Thing and everybody empathizing with each other is really important, and giving veterans that sense of acceptance and engagement at think is really good. Me, when itfor comes to the subject of suicide, it is a really personal one. I attempted twice after i got back. What really has ensured my survival is the fact of definitely my work through art and my work for writing, starting on that path. I couldnt say everything i wanted to say, but at least i had it down. I got it out. Encouraging different outlets. It may be too uncomfortably to vocally talk, but to keep a diary, a journal, and to be able to put it away and come back to it later, the encouragement of those alternatives really does some ofr me, because these topics a
This is what i wanted to talk to about. I want to give you batting good news. The bad news is that we live in a world with exploding complexity of online tracking. I have a team of students at princeton that im working with where i am a professor and we are reverse engineering the companies are doing online in terms of tracking us and our personal data. I want to give you good news. You have a lot of power in the situation. There are a lot of things you can do and i want to share that with you as well. What i want to talk about Pacific League when i talk about online tracking is what i call online tracking which i considered the most insidious form of online tracking. It is where sites other than the ones you are visiting that are typically invisible are collecting profiles as you are browsing. You might wonder how does this happen . Let me show you a screenshot this is from a study at stanford of online tracking. This is from the New York Times and you can see in the picture how many
