The transcript is provided by the firm that provides closed captioning services to the City. Because this service is created in real-time as the meeting progresses, it may contain errors and gaps, but is nevertheless very helpful in determining the gist of what occurred during this meeting. >> Mayor Liccardo: Good afternoon, the meeting for June 2nd, 2015, is called to order. I'd like to introduce our invocator Ken Henry, from district 6. Councilmember Oliverio. >> Councilmember Oliverio: You did it. He will be doing the invocation tonight as well. Reverend Henry. >> In the midst of old homes new homes, traffic filled streets and brown lawns, business people pursuing their dreams, God of urban places we meet here, in the area of possibility and possibility, sacred commission the care and intention of making our lives better. They are here to keep a watchful eye on justice. They are here to piece together decisions on our behalf. Be with them. Open channels of communication and conversation. Remind all present that you created individuals with two ears so we can listen twice as hard and speak less. Keep your leaders strong many strong in wisdom strong in compassion and strong in forging purposeful agreements. Help us then help them to see down the road and in their seeing, inspire us all to serve and honor one another. Amen. >> Mayor Liccardo: Thank you, reverend. Please rise for the pledge of allegiance. [ pledge of allegiance ] >> Mayor Liccardo: On orders of the take, I know there's a staff ask for continuance on 6.2. Can we do that as part of the orders? >> City Attorney Doyle: You can can do that as part of the orders of the day. >> City Attorney Doyle: For 6.2 and 6.3. >> Mayor Liccardo: No I believe it's just 6.2, that staff is requesting, is that right Dave? That's correct. >> Councilmember Herrera: Motion to approve orders of the day with deferral of 6.2. >> Mayor Liccardo: Is there a second? I understand there's some problems with the electronic displays is that right Maggie, we're going to vote verbally going back to the old days. That passes unanimously, I think. We'll verify it later. Closed session report Rick. >> City Attorney Doyle: We have no report. ! 1! >> I'll ask Vice Mayor Herrera to join me at the podium. For Alzheimer's month. I just got my bracelet. >> Councilmember Herrera: Thank you mayor. You have purple bracelets and shirts courtesy of the Alzheimer's association, we Hope some of you will put them on. So I'm honored today to proclaim the month of June to join with the mayor and city council to declare the month of June as Alzheimer's and brain awareness in the City of San José. We wear the purple in response to the purple pledge to support those facing Alzheimer's and other dementias and to commit to raising awareness. This disease as many of you know affects an enormous amount of people worldwide in our country, incredible cost, horrible cost to patients, to families, physically, emotionally and financially. Worldwide, 47 million people are living with this disease. $604 billion is the annual global cost of dementia. Every 67 seconds someone in the United States develops Alzheimer's or other dementias. Alzheimer's is the sixth leading cause of debt in the United States, unfortunately there is no cure, it can't be prevented cured or even slowed down although there are drugs that deal with symptoms. Almost two-thirds of Americans who live with Alzheimer's are women. When you donate money to the Alzheimer's association there's research going on. And I think one of the impactful things to me is how much money we spend and how much we could save if we could just find treatment for Alzheimer's, that could just delay it. The U.S. could save $220 billion within the first five years of a treatment for Alzheimer's disease. And this is according to Alzheimer's association report called changing the trajectory of Alzheimer's disease. How treatment by 2025 saves lives and dollars. This treatment if we could get it by 2025, would delay the onset of Alzheimer's cut the number of people who have the disease from 42%, from a projected 13.5 million to 7.8 million in 2025. Threechg 2025 goal would save 360 billion in 2015 aloan. Save $54 billion over the first five years out of their out of pocket cost if the 2025 goal is met. So this reinforces the goal set by the national plan set by the Alzheimer's disease, and if the federal government were to invest $2 billion a year as recommended by the scientific community then it would recoup its investment within the first three years after treatment became available. Donating money to Alzheimer's association, supporting them supports us trying to reach those kinds of goals. Not only important for people that are stricken with Alzheimer's and their family but it is important to the entire country, in terms of where we want to put our dollars and other things we would like to treat. Today Alzheimer's association of Northern California, northern Nevada chapter are here to accept a proclamation declaring the month of June, as we said, Alzheimer's and brain awareness month. I welcome Eddy yew, and Eric Shay, I knew Lilyana when she was in another capacity. My mother had Alzheimer's and she was involved in that care-giving. The Alzheimer's association was formed in 1980 and aims to advance the research to end Alzheimer's and dementia while enhancing care for those living with the disease. There's another event coming up that Alzheimer's association is celebrating. An annual event to raise awareness of the Alzheimer's association. This sunrise to sunset event symbolizes the challenging journey of those living with the disease and their caregivers. In fact there is a book called the 36 hour day, good for everyone but especially those who live with this disease. It is ! 2! enormously hard on families and caregivers as well as those who two through this. Someone who is living with or lost to the disease selecting his or her favorite hobby. As I just kind of hinted at, I was personally affected, my mother passed away from Alzheimer's in may six years ago, the year I took office. I understand the struggle. I feel emotional even talking about it now. It's a tremendous loss to a dpeax losing someone a bit at a time over many years. By the time the person -- the time my mom died it was no longer her and she didn't know me or anybody in my family. So it's just a horrible, horrible progression, and I'm so grateful that we have the Alzheimer's association, that is working to find cures to find ways to support families and caregivers who must endure this. So while we proclaim the month of June as Alzheimer's and brain awareness month let's continue to keep those suffering in our thoughts and prayers and remember those who have passed there this disease. I would like to thank the Alzheimer's association again for their efforts to find a cure. I would ask Mayor Liccardo to present Eddie Lau with a proclamation and I invite Eddie to say a few words. [applause] >> Thank you very much, Vice Mayor Herrera. 5 million Americans in the United States have Alzheimer's and 5 million families like yours have been dealing with this. We do need to find cure. I should mention Alzheimer's association is the third largest funder of Alzheimer's research in the world. The first is the be Chinese government and the second is the Alzheimer's association and the third is the United States government. I want to share a little something. Cynthia Guzman, on our national level, she was disked with Alzheimer's on her 63rd birthday. She was a registered nurse, she suddenly got herself lost not knowing which side of the road to be on. From her diagnosis she has been just very active telling her story. So that more people would see what this is. She says I'm running a race and it's a race I'm not going to finish. I tell my story because I need other people to help finish the race for me. This isn't a race where we get a gold medal. It's one that ends Alzheimer's. Thank you very much. Fest [applause] >> Mayor Liccardo: Next I'd like to ask Rudy Guivara to join us. Vice Mayor Herrera has more. >> Councilmember Herrera: So today I'm really again proud and honored to present a commendation on behalf of the American and city council to Rudy Guivara. Rudy is an Evergreen resident San José resident long time. He was just recently in May, inducted into national wrestling hall of fame. We're honoring him not just for that but for the work he's done in San José. He didn't start in San José but he has contributed a lot to this city. He was a coach. He was raised in Monterey county after losing his father in Vietnam. He is responsible for taking care of a seriously ill mother. Every time he left to attend school he wasn't sure his mother would be okay when he got back.

  • Excerpts from 9 Things You Simply Must Do to Succeed in Love and Life
    Excerpts from 9 Things You Simply Must Do to Succeed in Love and Life Déjà Vu People My feelings of déjà vu came from my growing sense that certain kinds of people, given certain circumstances, always face and resolve situations in the same way. People who possessed this one pattern in common were all successful in life. They moved forward. They did not stay stuck, repeating the same mistakes over and over again. And these people were getting from life what they had decided they wanted from their vocation, relationships, spiritual attainment, or otherwise. Life was working for them. Nine Things Hidden in Plain Sight I had discovered nine principles that are like gravity. These Nine Things are there, and we can work with them to achieve great results in success, relationships, etc. or we can ignore them and suffer the consequences. Over the years I’ve come to realize three truths about these principles: 1. They are paths or patterns of behavior that really do make a huge difference in the lives of those who practice them. 2. Avoiding these principles can lead to disastrous consequences, such as loss of love, dreams, goals, etc. 3. These principles are often ignored. Principle 1: Dig it Up The invisible world is always where the visible originates. The reality of the life we see and live on the outside is one that emerges from the inside, from our hearts, minds, and souls. It is our internal life that creates our external one. So, to find our lives we must find what lies below the surface of our skin.

  • Magical Realism in Transnational Cinema
    MAGICAL REALISM IN TRANSNATIONAL CINEMA CODY LANG A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN CINEMA AND MEDIA STUDIES YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO August 2020 © Cody Lang, 2020 ii Abstract This project is an analysis of the magical realist genre in cinema, specifically its multiple forms found in transnational cinema. The status of magical realism in film as a genre will be questioned and this project argues that the concept is best understand as a transgeneric critical category rather than a genre in the conventional understanding of the term. Magical realism as academic concept has been discussed in-depth in literary theory and this project extends those discussions into the field of cinema. The history of criticism of magical realism is summarized as it applies to studying film with special attention given towards the semiotic differences between literature and cinema. Furthermore, this project explicates the distinct ways that magical realism operates in cinema in contrast to literature while also noting the shared aesthetic strategies between each media. Each section covers a thematic topic observed in transnational magical realist cinema: metafiction in overt and covert forms; the representation of historicity; and the representation of marginalized subjectivities, specifically looking at how magical realist cinema presents issues of class, gender, race, and sexual identity. The final thematic discussion discusses the possibility of utopian discourses in magical realist cinema, the attempts to envision a less exploitative social collective according to a variety of cultural and national contexts in late-capitalism.
