Two Wheels in the Dust by Anne Mustoe
Book DescriptionIndia is no place for the faint-hearted cyclist. The streets are jammed with cars, busses, rickshaws, animals, fortune-tellers, barbers, beggars and people sleeping or cooking. Following the success of her two previous outings, "A Bike Ride" and "Lone Traveller", adventuresome ex-headmistress Anne Mustoe donned the cycle helmet once more and set out on an exhilarating journey round the Indian subcontinent. Beginning in Kathmandu in Nepal and ending in the tranquil hill town of Kandy in Sri Lanka, Anne's amazing journey is told with keen observation and the relish of the open road.

Amber, Furs and Cockleshells, Paperback (March 2005)
An account from the pages of Anne Mustoe's book as she pedals along three very different, but equally evocative, roads - the Amber Route from the Baltic to the Adriatic, the Santa Fe Trail from the Missouri River to New Mexico and the Pilgrims' Way of St James from Le Puy to Santiago de Compostela.
Cleopatra's Needle, Paperback (March 2004)
An account of a phenomenal lone cycle ride - to the original site of Cleopatra's Needle at Heliopolis in Egypt. Leaving behind home comforts, Anne set herself the challenge of travelling close to water wherever possible - via the Seine and the Rhone, then alongside the Burgundy canal, the Po and the Venetian Lagoon.
Lone Traveller, Paperback (February 2000)» View all books by Anne Mustoe
Using historical routes as her inspiration, Anne followed the ancient Roman roads to Lisbon, travelled across South America with the Conquistadors, pursued Captain Cook over the Pacific to Australia and Indonesia and followed the caravans along the fabled Silk Road from Xi'an to Rome.

- 2.5"
How much would you pay for SPEED? 02/08/2014
This review is from: SAMSUNG 840 Pro Series 2.5" 256GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-7PD256BW
FAST! Slick design. This item is as described. I just wish it were cheaper :( And yes, it works in a desktop PC!
Very light weight. Feels cheap. but it's beveled edges add the final touch in a windowed case! Very, very expensive.. It's literally paying a dollar per Gigabyte here, or more. I could have gotten 6TBs of HDD for this price. I decided to put only my OS on this drive, and my software on another 3TB HDD.
Other Thoughts:
I hear that SSDs do not have the life span of a normal HDD if heavily used. Though the speed they pack will save so much time waiting for processes to load, you'll have enough time and patience to purchase a new one should your existing one decide to fail over its lifespan.

2003 Subaru Forester ProblemsCheck Engine Light Due to Failed Catalytic Converter
The Check Engine Light may illuminate because of low catalytic converter efficiency. This same issue may cause the car to fail the State Smog Test if one is required.
The front oxygen (air fuel ratio) sensor element may develop a crack, causing the Check Engine Light to illuminate. Subaru has recalled certain models to replace sensors that may fail. The Subaru service program number is WXW-80, this is not a government mandated recall.
The head gasket has a high failure rate due to cooling system problems. Subaru is aware of the problem and has extended the warranty to 8 years/100k miles on many vehicles.
2003 Subaru Forester Questionscan't get back wheel off because has rusted on. Cost to replace? (3 answers)
I thi8nk I have tom cut off and replace axle etc. Your thoughts?
When I turn the heat up full in my car, the thermostat goes to hot, but when I turn the heat down lower the thermostat goes back to normal temp, whats causing that?
I usually get occasional check engine lights for po442SMALL LEAK and po443SMALL LEAK(pending) No leaks in exhaust-clear codes-no problem. NOW, I'm getting code PO453-Evap.Emiss.ControlSystemPressureSensorHigh. Clear code- light pops back on after 10 miles. Can't get ahold of my mechanic, ...
2003 Subaru Forester RecallsFront Lower Control Arms May Break
The front lower control arms may break at the hanger brackets due to corrosion. This corrosion is commonly a result of the hanger bracket being exposed to salty conditions, such as roads where salt is used as a snow melting agent. A broken control arm can result in loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will inspect the affected control arms and rustproof or replace them as necessary. The Subaru recall number is WVX-34.
In 326 vehicles, both front seat belt buckle/latch assemblies was improperly manufactured. In the event of a crash, the seat belt could unlatch unexpectedly, increasing the rick of injury to the seat occupant. Dealers will replace the left and right front seat belt buckle/latch assemblies to correct this concern.
The transmission park mechanism located inside the automatic transmission may not hold when the selector is in the "park" position. The vehicle could move/roll without warning, increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will replace the automatic transmission parking rod assembly to correct this concern.

im undecided because WA5 can drive HE-6 as well as its a great amp, tubes cost more than Stratus though.
The Stratus is just as good and uses cheaper tubes, I can just pop in a U52 and some NOS 2a3 and be done, WA5 has pricy tubes and costs more. Both have balanced output too.
IDK, but it looks like you have quite a good HE6 amp already. I don't know that WA5 could best it. If I were you I would get the stratus, and start saving to a PASS power amp or something like that. That's just my opinion. Either way you go, please let us know how it works out.

Professional Development Schools: Advances in Community Thought and Research
Irma N. Guadarrama, John M. Ramsey, Janice L. Nath
IAP, 2005 - Education - 337 pages
The collection of papers in this volume have a combined synergy that exudes a sense of hope and confidence that our progress in the Professional Development Schools research movement has been substantial and vibrant, even though some would argue that the strides are not enough nor fast enough to make a significant difference. However, no one can argue the fact that our efforts are indeed crucial to the improvement of education for all students and in that sense, Professional Development Schools Research is definitely on track.

Exploring the impact of international student mobility on cross-cultural learning adaptation.
Speaker: Dr Monika Foster, Edinburgh Napier University Date and time: 2nd November 2016, 2016. 13.00-14.00
Venue: Room 1.71b KGVI Building
Abstract: In an increasingly globalised higher education, with universities aiming to encourage student mobility (both inwards and outwards) through exchange and study abroad programmes (Foster, 2014; Sweeney, 2012), there is a need to examine the benefits of the mobility, especially the complex cross-cultural learning involved. The talk will reflect on the outcomes of a cross-subject study involving Business School and Design School participants, which adapted an innovative approach, using cultural probes (Gaver et al, 2004) to explore the impact of mobility on students' cross-cultural adaptation. A framework for the design of student mobility with systematic pre-mobility intercultural skills development is proposed to ensure maximum benefits from mobility for all stakeholders.

'Internationalisation of higher education: perspectives from Brazil and the UK'
Date and Time: 4 April, 2016 10-3.00
Venue: Room 2.22 the Research Beehive
The seminar was led by Sue Robson from the Teaching and Learning in HE Research Group in ECLS, and Professor Marilia Morosini from the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS) Papers were presented by Marilia Morosini and Ana wertheimer from PUCRS, and Sue Robson and Alina Schartner from ECLS The seminar addressed the following key questions:
• In an era of globalisation, how can HE institutions maximise opportunities to provide an internationalised university experience for home and international students from all socio-economic backgrounds?
• How can HE internationalisation be conceptualised in educational, social, cultural and experiential rather than economic terms?
• How can HE institutions promote a high quality, equitable and global learning experience for all students, including the non-mobile majority?
The seminar theme enabled participants from NU and PUCRS to analyse and critique existing conceptualisations of HE internationalisation at individual and institutional levels, leading to fresh perspectives on pedagogy, curriculum and international graduate competences. The seminar was the first step towards the formation of a joint UK-Brazil research and practice network on inclusive and values-based HE internationalisation. Participants identified the following themes of mutual interest for collaborative research and enquiry.
Themes from the seminar
• policy, implementation & practice (policy rhetoric and multiple contextual realities/degree of alignment)
• support and guidance for staff
• web presence and 'personality' of the university
• leadership
• language learning (Skype opportunities)
• integration issues
• the home student perspective
• IoC (module/programme/discipline)

Assessing student learning in Higher Education: the potential of alternative methods
Venue: Howden Room, KGVI, 28 Oct 2015 4.30-6.00pm
Speaker: Clara Pereira Coutinho, PhD, Center for Child Studies, Minho University – Braga - Portugal
Within the context of change in Higher Education, there is growing recognition of the importance of assessment as a key factor for quality teaching and learning and academic achievement. Existing international literature points to the need to examine further the impact of different methods, especially the so called alternative methods, for students' learning and achievement as well as for teaching methods in classroom, as evidence of their effectiveness is still scarce. Also of importance is the need to better understand the ways in which different methods of assessment lead to different learning approaches and academic achievement. Earlier work has shown that assessment plays a key role on how students spend their time and what they regard as important, and this can have either positive or negative influences on their learning. This is even more crucial at a time of great pressure and change upon Higher Education institutions, resulting from the Bologna process which emphasises the need for a more student centred paradigm, one which recognises the need for independent learning and development of both technical and soft skills. Within this context, it is essential to get to know what has changed in higher education in terms of teaching and learning and, especially in terms of assessment and feedback, as these have implications for the development of teaching learning process and academic achievement. Literature has also highlighted that more empirical work is needed in order to provide sufficient data to develop a comparative profile of assessment practices used in HE institutions in different courses and different countries. The main goal of this project is then to examine what is known and what needs to be known in this regard by exploring the questions that remain answered. In this seminar we will present the state of the art on this issue, combining a review of existing literature on the use of different methods and perspectives to explore assessment in HE in order to identify and disseminate best practices, in particular those involving ICT.

'Investigating pedagogy in research methods'
Visiting Professor Melanie Nind:
Thursday 2 April, 12.00-13.00, Research Beehive 2.22 (Old Library Building)
How social science researchers learn social research methods is not something that is well-understood. Hence, in research I am leading for the National Centre for Research Methods, one of the fundamental questions we are exploring is how teachers of research methods develop and use their pedagogical knowledge for developing the methodological learning of others. Our funding body, the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC), has been concerned enough about the UK's social science research global competitiveness to make capacity building in methods the focus of major investment for the last decade. This marks a shift from the UK model in which doctoral researchers have largely learned through apprenticeship and supervision only. Yet the upsurge in taught courses and formal training in advanced research methods has not, to date, been informed by pedagogical evidence on how to approach this. Discourses are developing about doctoral education and about training and capacity building, but the latter in particular has had virtually no pedagogic space, with the talk largely limited to deficits in skills or capacities and finding effective modes of delivery. Our research is intended to create dialogue between teachers of research methods, those concerned with providing and guiding advanced methods training, methodology researchers and learners of research methods. We are moving the evidence base from the current dominance of in-house action research, evaluations or case studies of particular cohorts, contexts or challenges. Instead, we are engaging participants from across disciplines, organizations and methods in a multi-component research design. This comprises an expert panel method, video stimulated recall and reflection focus groups, learner journeys, and case studies of pedagogical and methodological innovation. In the paper, I will share some of these methods and what the pilot one-year project has indicated is distinctive about the teaching and learning of research methods and warranting further attention.
**International guest speaker – Fri, 5th Dec**
For our last seminar before the Christmas break, we have a special treat in store: As part of her visit to ECLS, Meeri Hellstén, Professor of Education at Södertörn University, Sweden will give a lunchtime seminar to the Teaching and Learning in HE Research Group on Friday, 5th December. Meeri's talk 'Imaginaries of global citizenship: International heuristics of a Nordic case' will report on an international research project funded by the Academy of Finland in partnership with 20 universities in 10 countries. The project examines internationalization processes in higher education and how these processes construct notions of epistemic difference, transnational literacy and global citizenship.
Abstract: Abstract:
This seminar presents interim results from an inter-disciplinary international mixed-methods
research project funded by the Academy of Finland in partnership with 20 universities in 10
countries (Andreotti et.al. 2012 - 2015). The project examines internationalization processes in
higher education and how these processes construct notions of epistemic difference, transnational
literacy and global citizenship. Official policies and initiatives, as well as the perceptions of faculty,
students, and managers engaged with internationalization processes are reviewed and compared
across national boundaries globally. In this lunchtime seminar we focus on a small sample of Nordic
data forming a case study focusing on imaginaries of global citizenship. We will present a heuristic
co-created by project partners and use it to analyse responses from the student survey data. The
heuristic informs about processes in higher education that raise ethical considerations deriving from
the interceptions between the imagined and lived experiences.
About the presenter: Meeri Hellstén received her PhD in (comparative) education from Griffith University, Australia.
the course of a twenty-year period Meeri lectured at several universities in Australia and left
Macquarie University in 2009 to take up her position at Södertörn University. Her research focuses
on the meaning of (international) scholarship and its implications for teaching and learning. Meeri
has co-edited the books Internationalizing Higher Education (with Peter Ninnes) and Researching
International Pedagogies (with Anna Reid) on the subject of internationalization of higher
education and its impact on pedagogy and practice. Meeri is currently a research partner in a large
international project investigating ethical internationalization (Andreotti et.al. 2012-15) funded
by the Academy of Finland. She is active in a number of research networks and is the immediate
Editor-in-Chief of the journal Issues in Educational Research.To download the PowerPoint presentation, please click here.
The seminar will take place from 13:00-14:00 (1.36B, KGVI) with a buffet lunch served in the ECLS staff room (3.04) from 12noon. If you would like to attend the seminar + lunch, could you please confirm your attendance via e-mail (email@example.com).

Title: The role of HEA Rob Cook international scholars in internationalisation: the case of the 'Learning to doctor' project in the development of understanding the role of academic practice in supporting acculturation
Abstract: The HEA International Scholarship programme has set out an agenda around supporting academics in the exploration and transfer to the UK of pedagogic innovation from HEIs in the wider world. I will use a description and analysis of my scholarship experiences in Australia examining the role of non-clinical community placement learning in medical education, as a context for raising issues about the potential of experiential learning to facilitate acculturation for international students. As the medical profession in particular and health services in general draw increasing on expertise from overseas and population health needs incline us more and more towards trying to encourage professionals to work in socially deprived localities and regions I ask, what does putting students into these challenging settings have the potential to add to their professional development, to community and health services in the UK? And, is there learning here relevant to the challenge posed by the over-representation of international medical graduates among doctors in difficulty?

Title: An overview of HEA research and 3 year programme to support research on the impact of HE reforms on learning and teaching in the UK
Abstract: Last year the research and policy team at the HEA started a 3 year programme of work to undertake and commission research on the impact of the HE reforms on the changing HE landscape, with a focus on the learning and teaching experience. This session will provide an update on research recently completed, currently commissioned, and planned for the coming year. The session will be used as an opportunity to ask participants to consider what other research might be undertaken relating to the enhancement of the teaching and learning experience in HE.
The different types of funding schemes available at the HEA for researchers will be outlined, and include: teaching development grants; the doctoral programme; international scholarships; national teaching fellowships; other specific research calls. Finally, an overview of HEA resources available for pedagogic research will be considered. This will include an update on the planned launch of the new resources centre/evidence net, and also the new HEA journals platform.

Title: What have disciplinary research-teaching linkages got to do with either employability and/or global leadership?' Considering the links between what we teach, how we teach, and 'big agendas'.
Abstract: What we teach and how we teach in our disciplines are areas that respond well to rethinking research and teaching links. Less clear, however, is how all of this connects to broader educational agendas such as employability and global leadership. These broader initiatives often (but not always) seem too abstracted from what we do to make practical sense when it comes to rethinking course and module redesign. Drawing on work undertaken for the Scottish Quality Enhancement Theme generally and at Glasgow University specifically, which drew together research-teaching linkages and employability, this session raises how research-intensives can use adaptations in the way we think about researcher development in our disciplines to address the bigger 'macro' level educational agendas, particularly graduate attributes for employability and global leadership. This presentation:
• reviews some of the key assumptions in the research-teaching linkages literature;
• suggests that we use the research on researcher orientations to rethink the links between disciplinary learning and socialisation and the broader attribute development of our students;
• demonstrates how curriculum mapping and assessment blueprinting across programmes might be the initial process in linking key elements of researcher development with those of broader educational agendas at an undergraduate level;
• suggests the role student engagement might play in such a process.

Title: The Higher Education Academy Benchmarking Project on Promotions Policies and Processes
This international and inter-university project aims to produce resources to guide and improve academic promotion policy and practice to reflect the recognition of teaching as core to the assurance of standards in higher education. The project involves four British and Australian universities developing a benchmarking framework wherein they will share and compare promotions policies, processes as well as staff perceptions of promotion. The benchmarking process includes the development of a benchmarking framework with performance indicators and measures which can be adapted and applied across the higher education sector. The cornerstone of the Promoting Teaching Good Practice Framework is that promotion must be based on provision of evidence to support description of excellent teaching. Therefore a key goal for this project is to develop a set of perspectives to assist universities in clearly articulating evidence that would count in promotion applications. An essential parallel task is wide discussion within universities to understand and define the changing nature of teaching in today's increasingly complex higher education sector.
Tuesday 5th February 12.30-1.30 Professor Joelle Fanghanel, Room 1.71B, KGVI Building.
Title: Worldly becoming: resisting liberalism in universities
In this presentation, I discuss the impact on academics of the forms of governance that have come to prevail in UK higher education over the past two decades or so, as reliance on state funding has gradually decreased whilst, at the same time, state control 'from a distance' (Neave, 1998 ) has significantly increased. This work is based on fifty interviews with academics in institutions in the UK, Australia, US, South Africa, and Zambia. Using ideological positioning as a theoretical framework to underpin my argument within the broader discussion of the tensions between structure and agency (Archer,1995), I show that academics' responses to what has been broadly referred to as managerialism (Deem et al, 2007) is complex, and not of one piece. I examine areas of practice which illustrate the complexity of this positioning. I argue that it is possible for academics to enact their personal beliefs and ideals as educators, and that a rich, critical and empowering potential exists within the academy to counteract the liberal stance. The perspective discussed here seeks to promote ways of working in the academy that lead to alternative forms of engagement with students and practices. It builds on previous work that had identified 'filters' to practice affecting the way lecturers conceptualise teaching and learning in HE.
Thursday 11th April 12.00-1.00 Dr Jarka Glassey, Room 1.71B, KGVI Building.
Title: Self-reflection and peer assessment in engineering - the educators
A reflection of an engineering educator on a journey from a very conservative educational background through a transformative experience of the EQUATE project towards facilitating the development of more autonomous chemical engineering graduates with positive attitudes to lifelong learning. The challenges faced and lessons learnt on a personal level will set the background and the observations and experiences with introducing self-reflection and peer assessment into in-course assessment of a professionally accredited course will hopefully provoke a debated and exchange of experiences. The observations will touch upon the differences between home and international students, staff and student buy-in and system issues with the implementation.

8:11 pm
other city somewhere -- seattle toronto, new orleans, san josé month recall, andu#nnnyñ chicago -- month raul and chicago. chicago was much lower congestion than we are. while we are a transit-first policy we are still struggling with congestion, which is very, very similar to what other people experience as to not getting to work on time, break down of emergency services, and on and so. i think it's a well-presented point, which we should keep in mind as moving forward relative to discussions on parking, and discussions on transit and transit improvements, i'll pass this article around so people can see the methodology by which to alive is
8:12 pm
interesting. >> i want to thank my fellow commissioners for the vote of confidence. look forward to the work we have ahead. >> president fong: commissioner antonini. >> commissioner antonini: thank you. i introduced to the commission last week, some -- a plan by captain tang lin,, and it's a matter of public record. i don't know how much of the public has had a chance to look at it. it shows a lot of promise. on my 11 years on the planning commission it's been very gratifying that we have passed a lot of measures that have provided a lot of housing and provided a lot of commercial space and a lot of other good things but the problems with a lot of individuals who are in need still remains. and all you have to do is go outside and walk on any are part of the city and see people who are obviously not capable of taking care of themselves. and, you know, we have not been able to deal with this problem.
8:13 pm
so i think anybody who has a plan that shows merit, and apparently it has worked in other cities and has worked for a while while it was in place here, we do pass a lot of supportive housing, but if it we can't get individuals into support iverg housing, the housing does not solve the problem and these are instances where more than just housing is needed, care for psychiatric problems addictions, substance problems which are really needed. so i would ask that we do advice staff with your consent we calendar something in the future to hear more about this perhaps invite people such as bevan dufty who is the mayor's point person on this issue and others to participate and while there are other forums where this would also should be discussed i think since we deal so much with issues involvingvczu housing and where people are going to be living, that would dlu people
8:14 pm
who are -- include people who are living in the streets and on warks parks. i would like to ask for your help in that matter. >> president fong: commissioner. >> commissioner borden: i want to recognize harold brooks bay area chapter in san francisco. today marks the end of his tenure as a ceo. he's been elevated as senior vice president for international services for the american red cross and will be moving to washington. but he has been a tremendous champion. i don't know if people know but the american red cross bay area chapter is the most generous, better than new york city and greater than los angeles, always stepping up whether it's hurricane sandy or any disaster around the country in addition to stepping up significantly locally. we alsor" volunteers, even in sandy, we had almost 200 volunteers from the bay area that lived in new york to make things happy.
8:15 pm
we're lucky because we have a very skilled staff who know how to manage things. the operation on the ground in new york was largely managed by gregory smith out of the bay area chapter, he was there 30 days working on that. i wanted to recognize him and what he's done for the american red croz cross. they bought the building on market street, and they'll be moving in, in a couple of months and are excited to help revitalize the neighborhood and do an adaptive reuse of a great older building. i wanted to recognize him for his great work and make sure everyone knows the work happening with the red cross. >> president fong: commission antonini. >> commissioner antonini: i met with a group of people who i think are quite knowledgable on this subject yesterday and the subject wag illegal in-law units which are present throughout the city and one of the group in the specific area in the city indicated it was his feeling up
8:16 pm
to 80% of the units there had illegal -- or housing individual housing units there had an illegal unit in it. and i think this is an issue that we have to confront eventually because it's got a lot of -- it's a lot of effects on the entire housing stock. and one of them that came to mind for me is the fact that when there are two units in building it raises the price of building significantly and you really have prices based upon two units not on one. and it might explain why, when i was first out of],nnm dental school and starting to practice places in modest homes in the sunset and richmond victor were around 40,000. the increases each in the most pricey areas are 10 times what they were in those days, 10 to maybe 12 times. in places like the sunset and parts of the richmond they're 20 times.
8:17 pm
these houses are selling for 800,000. so i'm not saying the total cause of this is secondary secondary units, but it does detract from the affordability of units, and i think it's something that's out there. i'm not sure whether the solution is to figure out some sort of legalization, or whether it's elimination, or what we should do, but this group seems quite interested in exploring it so i wanted to throw that out as something that i don't need to schedule a hearing on it but it's something i think we should be cognizant of and look at the events that occur even though they're not units that are a part of the -- they're not on record, but they are there. >> president fong: i wanted to update the commission on the permit tracking system that's being worked, a new program that the department is starting to implement. they will -- starting in february there will be monthly updates and reports given by
8:18 pm
director rahaim. it will fuse the planning department as well as the building department. they have asked and called for a very small citizens advisory group of which i volunteered to sit on that committee for a couple of meetings essentially to sort of get a preview, maybe sort of beta test it if you will. and trainings and more outreach will be had in the6 summer of this year with a fall rollout implementation. so we will have updates as time goes on. >> is it a place under director's report item 5, director's announcements. >> director rahaim: let me add my congratulations to president fong and vice president wu. beginning of the year is a good time to look back and look ahead. if i could refer to my written director's report there were a couple of items to bring to your attention that i think are interesting to look at how the department and the commissions
8:19 pm
are doing right now. the first is that we have now adopted -- you have now adopted and the board has adopted nine neighborhood plans and we have two more coming on the way. and those plans cover about 20% of the area of the city but cover about 80% of what is being built in the city. we now have plans in place that will cover a vast majority of the city where building is happen. if you compare the kind of projects that come to you and the types of controversies that come to you and to the department, it is pretty striking that the projects within the plan areas tend to be less controversial than the projects outside of the plan areas that are requiring -- asking for some kind of change in zoning or change in procedure. so i would argue that the intent of the plans is working, that the plans are doing exactly what they intended to do. the other reason that i believe
8:20 pm
that is because within the plan areas we have not had to do one full eir for any single project. it's always been community planning exemptions or other type of lesser environmental review which saves time and money and means those projects are generally consistent with the plans, which is what the the intent was all along. so i feel pretty good about that. as i say in the report, we are also more involved now in a broader range of implementation of those plans. secondly looking ahead at the year, i do think we are -- it is unlikely that we will take on a major new neighborhood planning effort of that same type in the coming couple of years. rather, i think -- as i point out, we are looking at an unusually large number of publicly owned sites that are in play, the port, housing, ucsf, laurel heights property on the market. so it's incumbent on us to look
8:21 pm
at those sites -- if those sites play out as intended by the owners today there could be 10 million square feet of development on those sites. it's a huge site of development. those will consume a lot of our time over the next couple of years, on the environmental and entitlement side and urban design issues, and it's incumbent on us to look at the policy implications putting those public sites on play for development. secondly, the second piece of the work that i think is interesting is the work in the neighborhood commercial districts, partially related to the mayor's invest in neighborhood strategy which is looking at not necessarily upzoning those districts, but looking at how we invest in those districts, support businesses, and encourage investment where it can happen. so that is also to me, a very interesting part of our upcoming work plan. there's a lot of work on our
8:22 pm
plate. our revenues as you will hear are way up, and we are looking at how to kind of catch up with the workload because we are seeing substantial increases in development application. but i just wanted to give you a flavor of where we were thinking we're heading over the next year or two, and also ask for your input on the kind of things we should be doing, and i'm happy to have a broader discussion or even hearing on that topic in the coming weeks. thank you. that concludesd: >> president fong: i just wanted to congratulate you on your fifth anniversary as ajg director and point out for those who don't have it available to them over the last five years, neighborhoodkqihuáñ plans, market octavia, eastern neighborhood potrero hills, eastern soma western soma, and transit center district will be completed in a five year period. that's an impressive list. commissioner moore. >> commissioner moore: i would like to acknowledge the strength of the neighborhood plans but
8:23 pm
the commission to support the neighborhood plans because we had our fair share of people who do want to overturn some of the basic ten et cetera of these neighborhood plans because they want project which don't operate within the general guidelines and ideas which these plans had a larger scale put forward. so it is in that particular case the thoroughness of this commission and the predecessors who sat in these chairs that there is a strong uniform support to use strong neighborhood plans based on community input and community collaboration to move planning in this city forward. >> commissioners, item 6, review of past week's events at board of supervisors, historic preservation. >> amy rogers, planning department. this week we heard thible progress report on the inner agency plan implementation
8:24 pm
committee a hearing required by both administrative code and the planning code. you heard presentation from the staff in november of this year. this week the board receives the same presentation. this presentation allows the city to begin their annual funding allocations for the plan area infrastructure needs. this hearing was informational only. moving on to two -- hearing at the full board, this week the full board unanimously approved two landmark designation for the twin peaks tavern and sam jordan's bar. these were the first designations since 2010. jordan bar is significant with the late african-american business owner. he was also the first african-american candidate for mayor of san francisco in -- and he opened jordan's bar originally constructed adjacent
8:25 pm
to corrals associated with butcher town in the late 1880's. this bar is still in operation as one of the oldest continuously operating african-american businesses along the third street corridor. sam jordan's bar was known as an organizing space for community based initials and was part of the network for african-american bars and restaurants that served dual roads as neighborhoods serving charitable organizations. the twin peaks tavern at 401 castro street is associated with the lgbt history known as the first bar in san francisco to operate with the large expenses of glass allowing people to see, insed of hiding those in side. it is in the heart of castro and continues to serve the community. it's been in operation since 1972. also before the full board on
8:26 pm
