So nonprofit monday is a program that straw runs to make sure that no matter is going on with our business giving back is treated just the is that you as paying any other bill in addition to the money we impose their cause to the greater bayview it is a great way for straw to sort of build communicated and to introduce people who might not normally get to be exposed to one nonprofit or another and i know that they do a different nonprofit every most of the year.

Where are we we if you notice bare studs those are prone to failure in an earthquake we need to stabilize those they dont lean over and plywood is effective as long as you nail along every edge of the plywood for the framing well nail along the sides and top and on the bottom 0 immediately youll see a problem in a typical San Francisco construction because nothing to nail the bottom of the plywood weve got to wind block between the studs and well secure this to the mud sill with nails or surface screws something to nail the bottom of the plywood. I notice we have not bolted the foundation in the previous episode thorough goes through options with different products so, now we have the blocking well a xoich attach the plywood. The third thing well attach the floor framing of the house above so the top of the braced walls one to have a steel angle on top of this wall and types of to the top of the wall with nails into the top plate and the nails in this direction driving a nail it difficult unless you have a specialized tool so this makes that easy this is good, good for about 5 hundred pounds of earthquake swinging before and after that mount to the face of wall it secures the top of wall and nailed into the top plate of the with triple wall and this gives us a secure to resist the forces. So you now see the space is totally available to dots blocking that he bottom and bolted the foundation in corneas what the code in the next episode youll see you apply good morning.

Elected colleagues, members of the community, commission members, members of the San Francisco Fire Department, and especially our chief that just retired, chief joanne hayeswhite. [cheers and applause] i was humbled and honored when chief nicholson asked me to serve as her mistress of ceremonies for this occasion. As some of you may know, my husband is a proud lieutenant of the San Francisco Fire Department, and members of the San Francisco Fire Department have become an important part of my own extended family. Today, i could not be any more proud to stand beside chief nicholson as we celebrate the swearing in of our 26 chief of the San Francisco Fire Department. [applause] to know janine, or nine as she is affectionately known, it is her hard work and her ethic. Her rise is a testament to the love of her family, who embedded in her the principles of always doing the next right thing. And her rise is a reflection of our citys diversity and values. San francisco and my extended families in good hands with chief nicholson. [cheers and applause] to begin todays ceremony, please welcome the oldest continuously active irish pipe band, west of the mississippi, the irish pipers band of San Francisco. [cheers and applause] [ ] [applause] and now thank you, please stand for a presentation by the San Francisco Veterans Association color guard. Immediately following the presentation of colors, please stand please remain standing for our national anthem, sung by awardwinning Country Music artist. He is married to a eight San Francisco Fire Department member [singing of national anthem] thank you for that glorious rendition of the starspangled banner. Please welcome father green, chaplain for the San Francisco Fire Department, and please be seated. [applause] it is a great honor to be here today, and so many of us are honored to have nine as a friend today, and to congratulate her on this special moment when she becomes the chief of the San Francisco Fire Department. As carmen mentioned, this last night, and we have honored two, lets acknowledge her again. [applause] we especially want to congratulate and celebrate our new chief, nine nicholson. [applause] she told me to only preach for 30 minutes. [laughter] im not going to do that. First it seems like we are being taken over by new york. [applause] we all know that nine hills from upstate new york, and years ago, one of the chiefs of the new york city Fire Department made this comment. He said when a firefighter shares their bravery, it is not when they rescue someone, or when they go into some dangerous situation. That is part of their job, part of their dedication. But it is on a day that they are sworn in that they show the most courage, and being willing to take on the role of a firefighter, and especially today, we know that nine takes on a very challenging career as the head of our Fire Department. I believe that this very intelligent, very compassionate woman will show us in so many ways, what it means to be a strong and successful leader of our department. So we congratulate her, and we pledge our support, our help, and we knew renew our own dedication as firefighters in serving our city and in serving our people. Nine asked me to read the two prayers that are in the program today, which is certainly appropriate, both the firefighters prayer and the e. M. S. Prayer, because she has a strong background in both. The firefighters prayer. When im called to duty, what up wherever the flames may rage, give me the strength to save a life, whatever be its age. Help me to embrace the little child before it is too late, or save an older person from the horror of that fate. Enable me to be alert, to hear the weakest shout, and quickly and efficiently to put it out. I want to fill my colleagues, and give the best in me, to guard my neighbors and protect their property, and if according to your will i will lose my life , blessed with your protecting hand, my loving family from strife. And the e. M. S. Prayer. As i perform my duty, whatever be the call, help to guide and keep me safe from dangers, big and small. I want to serve and do my best, no matter what the scene, i promise to keep my skills refined, my judgement sharp and keen. This calling to give myself most do not understand, but i stand ready all the time to help my fellow human beings. Blessings on you nine on this very, very special day. [applause] [laughter] thank you father green. One more hand for father green. [applause] it is said that sisterhood is powerful, and i can certainly attest to that. Who better to share the stories of our new chief than her sister please welcome Louise Nicholson how to the stage pause pause [applause] thank you. On behalf of our entire family, we want to say how tremendously proud we all are of you, and gratified that mayor breed has recognized your experience, your skill and your personal qualities and has entrusted you with these awesome new responsibilities, we are happy for the city of San Francisco, and we are really excited to see this new chapter in your life unfold. I would like to share with everyone how important nine is in another realm, her family. Echoing some of the words that have been used to introduce her, tough, resilient, a leader, and then using other words that havent such as humility, empathy, a great athlete, and cool. [laughter] nine is the youngest of three kids, and my brother john and i, as the older siblings, take full credit for her toughness and resilience. We bullied her relentlessly, although we did not call it bullying back then, it was just being an older sibling. Maybe you can forgive us, nine. Older siblings are also really fantastic in ensuring that the younger siblings are very humble , so for with a complete lack of he militate, we take credit for your humility, too. [laughter]. Fortunately, our put our parents were present and involved, and occasionally rescued me. Most importantly, though, our parents said really good examples of service to others. Our dad, who was sue who would have been so thrilled to be here to see this day, was a volunteer firefighter, and gave his time to many worthy causes. Our mom, who is thrilled to be here today, still tutors refugees and students from under resourced schools. Our parents implicated the valley of service to others. They taught her to take the work seriously, take the dignity of other people seriously, but never to take herself too seriously. She was raised right, and she also just has this hardwired empathy and drive to be a service to others, which by the way, has been evident for a very long time. For example, she was an athlete, and during one youth basketball game, or team was so far ahead that she grabbed the ball, dribbled it the wrong way, and scored a basket for the other team. [laughter]. At least we think it was deliberate. When nine told me she is going to be firefighter, i was a little afraid for her. I know demanding how demanding in this job is. I think maybe she was taking the empathy thing a bit too far, but is also pretty proud with her because she was living her value , and she knew herself, she knew she was right. The Fire Department has been a great fit for her. She has gotten deep meaning and joy out of her work as a member of s. F. Sd. So she looks for values in other ways too. She also has pets that are rescue animals. She has both cats and dogs, and they seem to get along well under her leadership. Which may be due to her focus on teamwork, which is present in all aspects of her life. Finally, her nieces and nephews think she is the coolest aunt ever. She seems to know the right thing to say and do when their parents do not, but she doesnt appreciate, and she isnt so cool that she indulges the breaches of the safety rules, im still a bit better that she did not allow my son, and lets be honest, me, to pull myself down the fire pole at the new station. However, the cool factor is undeniable and does not need my elaboration. I was told to make this sort, so i will some up. Her personal qualities, including her tenacity and determination, which she gets largely, although not exclusively from our mom, and her tremendous heart and empathy , which she gets lard largely, but not exclusively from our dad, along with her leadership skills, her honesty, her humility, these qualities along with her experience make us really confident that she is going to be a tremendous asset to this beautiful city. She will continue to me amazed as family members, and continue to make is very proud. We love you, nine. Now get to work. [laughter] [applause] you have to. Sisters, i have two of my own and they always speak the truth. Our next speaker is a native san franciscan the first africanamerican women, mayor in the citys history. She is a champion of first responders, from her time as a member of the San Francisco fire commission, through her tenure on the board of supervisors, and now as mayor. In addition, her priorities as mayor include tackling the city s homeless crisis, creating more housing for san franciscans , and keeping the citys streets safe and clean. Please join me in welcoming my friend, the 45th mayor of the city and county of San Francisco , mayor london breed. [cheers and applause] thank you. Let me just say, that i am so excited to welcome you all to city hall on this incredible occasion, to swear in someone who is basically making history. Not just as the second woman to hold the position of being chief of the San Francisco Fire Department, but as the first lgbt to hold this position here in the city and county of San Francisco. [cheers and applause] i want to take this opportunity to thank all the elected officials for being here with us today, and i want to also take this opportunity to recognize our recently retired fire chief who has led this departments for the past 15 years, ladies and gentlemen, please give it up for chief joanne hayeswhite. [cheers and applause] chief, i almost didnt recognize you in civilian clothing. I also want to take this opportunity to recognize former members of the Fire Department who served as chief of the department, thank you to chief bob dem and for being here pause pause. Thank you to chief paul tobacco for being here, and thank you all so much. [applause] i would also like to take this opportunity to acknowledge two former mayors who were joining us here today, thank you so much mayor art agnes art agnes for being here with us. [cheers and applause] as well as former mayor willie brown. [applause] and unlike those former mayors, i didnt just name my chief during my inaugural speech i went through a process. [laughter]. Did you hear me, mayor brown . [laughter] but the fact is, we know that we are so lucky to have such an incredible Fire Department in San Francisco, with incredible leaders. This is the resilient this is a resilient city. Dating back to the 19 06 earthquake where this department was focused on making sure that it protected and saved lives and property throughout San Francisco. Over the years, the voters have been so supportive with assisting us with the finances needed to make sure that we invest in our fire station, that we invest in our equipment, that we invest in the men and women of this incredible department, because it is not a matter of if they will be an emergency or another situation, or another earthquake, it is a matter of one, and so when making a decision about who best to lead such an incredible department, time and time again, so many members reached out to our office, and often times, with appreciation, and with praise for chief nicholson. This woman has done something that im not certain has been replicated by any other member of the department. Not only has she worked in every corner of the department, all over the city and county of San Francisco, at every fire station , she has been a paramedic, she has been a firefighter, she has been a lieutenant, captain, a battalion chief, and now deputy chief of the department. Working in so many capacities from suppression, administration , she knows the fabric of this organization. And so i am so excited and proud that we have a chief that is going to lead this department and make a significant difference for the residents of this city. We are definitely in good hands and couldnt ask for a better person. Yes, she has made history, and will continue to be a role model for so many women, for so many brothers and sisters in our lgbtq community, and im so excited about that. And yes, she has courage. She has courage to take on the difficult problems, and to lead our city into the 21st century , and yes, she is a real leader that listens and knows how to bring people together. She has brought this department together like never before, and im so excited to be swearing in the next chief of the San Francisco Fire Department, ladies and gentlemen, lets welcome Janine Nicholson. [cheers and applause] lets do it out here so they get a good picture. All right. Are you ready . Im ready, mayor. Please bring it. Bring it please raise your right hand and repeat after me.

Or purpose of evasion, and i will well and faithfully discharge the duties upon which i am about to enter, and during such time as i hold the office of fire chief of the city and county of San Francisco.
