It's really interesting that early on in the process, in companies, you kind of need that input, right? You have to know that the thing that you're going to make is going to generate revenues. I think for us scientists, we're totally driven sometimes by the good of humanity. And again, it's part of a leader's job, I think, to align both of those things. I think that sometimes the mistake is made, though, that early on we try and decide what that's going to look like. It might be 15 years hence, that's jolly difficult. And when you do these analysis of, you know, we call them maximum peak revenues or something, the only thing you know about that figure is it's wrong. There's no chance of getting it right in those early days. So as part of that innovations thing, you have to think about how is science going, how is medicine going, how is clinical practice going. And if you can bring all of these together, you've got at least a fighting chance to come up with a product that's going to be successful in the market.


It's snowing! Like what? I got stuck on like this hill. Like that just screams Olaf. Salt Bay. This is no joke. This is really deep. One, two, three. Creamy chicken all the way. Hey guys! Happy Friday, December 8th. It is currently... It's like 5 a.m. and I'm gonna go get on the road and Chloe, this crazy girl, literally the craziest girl in the world, is up right now. Like studying and just getting all her finals done with so she can go home today. I need to get my apples and coffee. There's like so many things on my channel as to remember honey crisp apples. Hey guys! So it is currently 10.48. I'm about less than an hour away from home and I'm so excited because I thought I would have to like stop and take a nap. But I went to bed like pretty early last night um at 10. So I got like a good six hours of sleep. I woke up at like 4... 4.20 and got out the door by like 4.40. It's snowing! Like what? I actually knew it was gonna snow last night and I was freaking out because I was like I don't know how I'm gonna drive like on the roads or whatever but apparently they like already salted them. But I'm getting pretty close to Atlanta. Also I've been listening to the influencer podcast. I honestly don't even know where I heard about this but it's been on my to-do list for a while to listen to it and I was trying to save it for this car ride. And these podcasts are pretty long. Like this one is like more than an hour long which is perfect for a long drive like this. I love listening to podcasts like this. Like there's the one that's called Goldigger and obviously Girl Boss through all of them and like save the ones that I think are gonna be interesting and like probably just listen to it on the ride back. I just got to my hometown and look how much it's snowing. It's literally insane. I didn't even know that I would be snowing this much so hopefully it's enough to make a snowman. This is so exciting! Oh my god! How cute! It's like untouched. I love it and it's pretty thick too. My backyard is so pretty too. Time to decorate. I forgot to take it off. I look like the Lizzie McGuire movie like the igloo part.  Do you like it? Do you like the snow? When I was driving over to Rhymes like I went home first and then we decorated the tree really quick but then by that time it was like really snowy. I was like driving past like my old high school and I got stuck on like this hill and I was literally shaking because I thought I was gonna like either spin out of control or like hold up traffic or just get in a car wreck. I was literally about to cry and it was not fun but now that I'm at a house and don't have to drive it's fun. Damn that's a good snowball. Oh my god. The tree. Yeah sure my car. Nice. Is it good? Yeah. Yummy? There you go. Oh my god. Does she think it's a ball?  That was so funny. Something with the ball. Throw it. Let's see. Oh kind of. Where'd your ball go? Shout out Barbara if I block this it works pretty well. Nice. Not a brand but if you guys want spots for me please do. Guys I got a boo-hoo order and this coat came in and it's kind of like big but like I feel like it's good for layering you know. It has a lot of space to layer. How perfect is this? There's no man on. Guess that'll do. Let's see who can make the better one. So obviously my snowman is winning so far. I spent a lot of time on that like that is probably the best snowman I've ever made. I just need to find a face but Ryan's snowman is already falling apart.  I just found the perfect leaf for a nose. Like that just screams Olaf. Two and a half inches. Decapitated.  I did a little coat change which this coat is also from boo. What do you think about this one? I don't know they just don't fit me like like I thought they would. I don't know maybe I just need a stylet better. I don't know what I'm wearing right now.  So scary. I was trying to drive away but I saw him stop and I was like oh what's your email? I'll send you my information. I was like I thought Scott is an ice plate. But it's really scary. I mean it's like fun at home but like when you're trying to drive like my mom only got off work when it was like really bad snowing so I was worried about her but she got home fine. We're just trying to enjoy the scenery while it's light outside. It's so cool when you look up at the sky. I think it feels like a dream. Yeah definitely looks a lot prettier than in person. Fire! Salt bay. Playing with snow again before it like all melts because the sun's out today and it's really really pretty. I literally had like a dream like a week or two ago about playing in snow so I'm super pumped that this happened. This is like so much snow for Georgia at least for like Atlanta. I don't know this doesn't really happen that often. Like how blue the sky is it's so pretty. Today's my brother's birthday. Today's Goldie's birthday. My mom's birthday is next week. No way. Shit. This is no joke. This is really deep. Where's that Goldie? He got in my hood and then went down my sweatshirt and is in my back. Where are we going? Just to drive around. I'm curious. Look at Rita. What was that? Oh scary. That's exactly what happened to me on that hill that I got stuck on.  There's no ice on it right? It feels like it's scaring me. Let's have pretty Mr. Crunch. I'm gonna wax Ryan's eyebrows with this. Someone commented on my other vlog and said like oh you should like explain more how to wax. So this is what I use. It's the Gigi strip free. I literally got it on Amazon for like what $10 or something and it's so nice. Like literally you just heat this up in the microwave and get a popsicle set and stir it up. As you can see it's kind of it's very hairy so let's get to work. So what I recommend is going up because it's growing up and then ripping it down. I think that's the way. Unless it's opposite. Does that make sense? Okay good. So we're gonna go apply it up and then rip it down. Now wait for it to cool and then we'll rip it off. Okay Ryan. Two, three.  One, two, three. Because it wasn't thick enough. One, two. Guys this is how much hair Ryan had on his enobrow. That's so much. I got a Walmart. We're gonna try to pick up like a Christmas movie. Hopefully Redbox has like a good amount of options and then we're also gonna get some popcorn and ramen. So we're in Walmart right now and I literally brought like a ramen. Oh no I didn't think about it. It's been a while. It was probably like last December. But I didn't think ramen went bad. I opened this packet of ramen up that I brought from my house and it literally had like cobwebs in it and it I don't know it was just like sketchy so I was just like nah but I only had that one packet of ramen so now I'm at Walmart buying like four just in case. And look I just found an aisle laying here. It's really tiny. This is the side of my finger. I was thinking like I've always wanted to try all these ramen flavors. There's so many to choose from like there's like shrimp flavor and chili flavor and pecante flavor and chicken tortilla flavor and sriracha flavor and there's so many and like I literally want to do a video just like testing every flavor. I don't have the motivation to do all that cooking right now but when I get my own kitchen then I will.  I don't know what does. Also creamy chicken all the way.  I don't know how many Christmas movies. I've never seen that awful. Yeah I've heard. Baby driver. Oh this is you. That's why I carry this movie. No. That's why I carry it. I don't want it. No I hate her. What? Yeah she's so like rude. Else. The original daddy's home. Guys there's a cooler woman inside. Brows. Actually I probably need to check my carpet all over it.  It's wood stuck. I got some ramen cooking the microwave and the Christmas movies about to be on.  Yeah you're talking orange.

What's up village boy like we always do so Logan well appreciate you following on snap Logan. Thank you Yeah, man that that face at the park we went to Logan Logan said he followed me on snapchat So he saw the snaps today. So and that's part of the reason why I couldn't stream Well, not that I why couldn't stream but why I didn't stream because couldn't means that you were just trying your best to Do something that just couldn't happen But didn't means that you had other priorities other things that were more important that took place instead of streaming So I didn't stream but took my son me and my son and my wife who went to the park today took him there And he he didn't want to leave he didn't want to leave like literally he did not want to leave but anyway And if you want to follow on snapchat Twitter Instagram all three are engraving vids just like the YouTube channel So in this question, this was a question from my guy Cowboys X Factor. He hit me up on Twitter We actually got five questions to answer from him, but one of them has already been answered One of them has already been answered Because he had actually asked me a while ago back before the Cowboys and Eagles last game So my apologies shout out to my guy Cowboy X factor. Thank you for being so patient Thank you for being so patient. What's up? Why I appreciate you man Yeah, Nate will talk about that soon, too But I appreciate him being so patient any Cowboys fans that's watching this my boy little Eric Who's a huge Cowboys fan shout out to you man any other Cowboys fans, too And my boy little Eric got some of the funniest snaps that you'll ever see too No, Eric if you could put your snapchat name for them if you if you want them to follow you You could put your snapchat name in the comment section right now for them to follow you but anyway in this video the question It's a five-part question five questions. Let me go down all of them Um, sorry, I'm just trying to jump out of my chair now The first question that he asked was do the Cowboys have any shouted upsetting the Eagles at home? now the And if anybody want to put the Instagram snapchat to the name on here right now go ahead do your thing You got you get a pass man. Everybody get a pass But if do the Cowboys have any shouted upset in the Eagles at home Do they have any shot of upsetting the Eagles at home now? Honestly, don't remember Oh, yeah, yeah, that was it was a home game for the was it a home game for the Eagles It wasn't a home game for the Cowboys the last time they played Where the Eagles just had their way with the Cowboys. I Don't remember But anyway, the answer to that question was no Well, technically the answer to the question is yes because it's any given Sunday But the way the Cowboys have been playing it hasn't been any given Sunday for them Oh, and really quick my fault make sure y'all leave a like on the video click the thumbs up button I forgot to say that click the thumbs up button It's 34 people in here, but it's only 20 likes like my god Ryan Mallet says every single video Make sure you click the thumbs up button because it's free. You don't got to pay for that You don't got to pay for it's completely free But that was his first question do the Cowboys have a shot at upsetting the Eagles at home so the Cheesy answer to that will be oh, yeah any given Sunday da da da da Not this time so no answer will be that no and Free my man Ziko. That's what Kimberly said and another question he asked So that was question number one question number two if you could merge any NFL team with the Ravens Who would it be the Cowboys? No, it would probably be I think we did we went over this already It'd probably be the Steelers Cuz they offense And their defense to now Our defense could get even better You combine two great defenses and you combine one Terrible garbage offense with one offense that knows how to click just like that So it probably be Steelers Steelers will be the team That was question two question three Oh, actually, this is a Six-part question he asked six questions. So my fault. I thought those five is six So we did one two now question three who has a brighter future the Cowboys or the Eagles? Cowboys or the Eagles? This is a tricky question because If you would have asked last year It could have easily You people could have easily said the Cowboys based off of how that Prescott was Ezekiel Elliott and company Based off of that, but if you if you asked this year then people they automatically gonna say Eagles But the way I look at it, I would still say Cowboys reason Ezekiel Elliott now the reason I say Cowboys is because Once they get Ezekiel Elliott back Cowboys can do his thing.  He just put a snapchat there. He said everything is little Eric 88 He does his weekly picks when he does the NFL He doesn't NFL weekly picks and he's on snapchat and it's very very funny So make sure y'all follow him and subscribe to him, too But I would say Cowboys and I know a lot of people gonna think oh engraving you're crazy. What are you talking about? Look at the Cowboys record Now Zeke I mean not Zeke Carson Wentz right now playing great playing out of his mind. I love how he plays love it love it but with With the Eagles Feel like a lot of their their free agent pieces Are the reason why they said I mean the defense has been nice to and and the defense has uh Has been pretty good and they that defense is most mostly homegrown. They got Fletcher Cox. They got Kendrick's I believe Jalen Mills was drafted by them. I believe Ronald Darby I'm not sure how long they're gonna keep him for and I'm not even sure how good had he's been playing He obviously hasn't been playing too bad if they're they only lost one game But he could still be a weak factor on the team. I don't know though I don't know how he's been playing because I don't watch the Eagles games enough to see that on a consistent basis But I feel like they They're I feel like their free agency was a huge part of the reason that they have been doing so good But they're free agency on offense. They bring in a Tory Smith. They bring in the Alshon Jeffrey They they bring in who else did they bring in they brought in Ligera Blunt. They just traded for Jaya Jaya Now if I if I'm thinking a media future Then I'm gonna go with Eagles if I'm thinking a media future like the next two years But then there's a thing called salary cap.  There's a thing called escalators. There's a thing There's the salary cap is the only reason there was one of the biggest reasons why I would say the Eagles The Cowboys still have a chance to have a better future than the Eagles Because of the salary cap because a lot of these free agents They're not gonna be on the team forever and I want to see how these Eagles perform when they don't have the free agents They got now who knows how long Alshon is gonna be there Tory Smith might be going after this year I don't know cuz he He seemed like he had caught on with the team and he was catching fire But then that fire got burnt out pretty quick. So I don't know it could be either one So that's a really good question man. That was a really good question and that's one that that really makes you think It could go either way But I say immediately the next couple years Eagles But the future beyond that probably be cowboys. Oh there goes. Okay. Appreciate a no problem Thank you for asking the question. So then so that was the third question. So now we on for Now we on question number four his fourth question was the thoughts on the camera angle from the Steelers and Titans He said he doesn't think that it's bad It is a nice experience experiment from video games like matter, but I'm still used to the old silent I wait so that question was about the um the Thursday night football camera. You know how they changed it What they didn't change it all the way But a lot of the plays that they showed they'll show it like it's a Madden game now I think I think that was a way to just try to create a different presentation of 430 night football They know ratings are low today trying to switch some things up. That's what I think they were doing But I didn't mind it But yeah, I'm somebody that likes the old-school camera too because I feel like with that camera the Madden camera I feel like you can't see You can't see all of the plays.  I mean most of the play right there So I like the regular play.  So I agree with you I like that regular camera more than the More than that the Madden camera. So so that was question number four now It's newer questions that he asked a few days ago. Oh Aka convinced that the sky cam sucked. All right. Oh, appreciate that ZTR. Thank you Okay. Oh, that's your snap at me on anybody at me on snap and let me know if you want me to add your back Got a lot. I like seeing people funny snaps me. So yeah, let me know my snapchat Like I said, it's engraving vids. I'll do all one word Matt said poor kid he has a couple bad games now you all turn on them. We didn't answer that question yet We're gonna get there though. Oh And that question is actually right now. So the next question question number five was my snap is engraving vids Facebook now just snapchat Instagram and Twitter the next question was Should the Cowboys bench that press got for Cooper rush? He says I don't think so, but we had we just had three blowouts in a row My answer to that question would be no reason being is because Only bad Carter is knocked out right now orange guy appreciate you asking about I don't know reason I say that is because But that's something that bad franchises do that's something that bit bad franchises do They if they're quarterback if he has a couple of bad games if they're starting quarterback has a couple of bad games Then they'll bench him for somebody else The good franchises don't do that franchises with consistency don't do that And even though that press got has not had his best three games the past three games He has not had a ZQ Elliot even though he hasn't had anything positive going You don't you don't bench him you you of course want him to get out of the slump and you want him to show Why he was a lot better why he was doing a lot better last year, but you don't do that Hey, no problem. I appreciate you man. You know, you don't you don't do that Yes, that is something that the Browns do like why Lopez just said he said only Browns do that That's what I said. Yeah, only you only a bad franchise would do something like that You don't bench a starter. You don't bench your future right now just because he's having a couple of bad games You don't do that because that can set him back even more that can set him back even more So yeah, you definitely oh, yeah, and the bills see what the bills did That is a great great point with that team see what the bills did the bills that starter is Tyrone Taylor He might not be with the team next year, but that's their starter right now And they benched him for Peterson and you saw what that got them right back to Tyrone Taylor the next week It just makes them all look like fools, man It makes them all look like fools and he has ETR. You're right Zeke not being there has just put this team on blast and just it brought them down to new lows, man It brought them down to new lows and it's bad. It's sad. It's sad How am I Ravens fan because I'm from Maryland My my aunt took me to my first Ravens game in 2000 and I wasn't really into football too much back then But when she took me to the game, I just watched him come out or watch him play I got the energy from the stadium and the rest was history started loving him from that So I mean from them So next question the sixth question. This was a good one man six questions in in one In one video all from my boy fire Jason Garrett Cowboys X-Factor on Twitter so the next question was When was the Dallas Cowboys aka Jerry Jones? fire Jason Garrett he sucks and it's terrible that is a great question that is a great question because I Thought me personally all those eight and eight seasons with such a talented team Italian and roster I thought he would have been going a long time ago, but he just keeps on Keep it on now. I feel like After last year that kind of gave him some job security for the next couple of years because he showed them like hey rookie quarterback fourth round draft pick first First first round draft pick Ended up being one of the best running backs all of all of last year our offensive line. Yeah, they've been stacked They're a little banged up right now, but we got a future Right now we we're without or and I'm speaking as a Cowboys fan right now I'm not saying I'm a Cowboys fan, but speaking from their perspective or mainly Jason Garrett's perspective It's like hey, we we have a future Zeke is suspended for six games, but guess what these six games that he's suspended for we won't have to deal with this Whole issue anymore at all. It's been getting dragged out for the past two years and now it's finally come to a close So once he comes back. Yeah, we might not make the playoffs this year, but we got a bright future We got a bright future We know that Zeke literally brings our offense from a just being a stack of dirty diapers To being Brand-new car That was a terrible analogy, but you get what I'm saying So the fact that Ezekiel Elliott has on his offense It's crazy. I don't think I've ever besides Adrian Peterson But I don't think I've ever seen a running back have such a huge impact on an offense. It's crazy It's crazy Ezekiel Elliott literally gives these guys life without Ezekiel Elliott. It seems like the life has just been taken out of the Cowboys So, oh no, I'm not a closet cowboy fan at all Not even close. I enjoyed watching football. Y'all know that but anyway, um, so Yeah, I feel like he's not gonna get fired this year only because he Especially based off of last year Because um He showed them what he can do he showed them the possibilities with this team he showed them the possibilities So I don't think he's gonna get fired I Don't think he's gonna get fired Especially with him losing with him losing Ezekiel Elliott I think that gave that actually gave him another year that gave him another shot With him losing Ezekiel Elliott that I think that saved his job I think it saved him. I really do Especially now watch this Say once Ezekiel Elliott comes back and watch if the offense gets back going again He will definitely have his job next year. He'll definitely have a job next year Because it'll show that Ezekiel Elliott is the guy. Excuse me. It's the guy that they need in order to get this Cowboys team rolling Yes, Nate, you are right. The FC is weak this year So, yeah And that's it. That's all six questions. So shout out to my guy Cowboys X Factor aka fire Jason Garrett His Twitter is cowboy X Factor not cowboys, but cowboy X Factor. That's his Twitter. If you want to follow him on there Can you start doing a single video on all your NFL game picks? I Thought about doing that. I've been meaning to do that, but I just I didn't I haven't done it Maybe I maybe I'll do that tonight. I'll try and I see quality control Just ask the same thing what you consider doing an NFL weekly pick segment or you're not about it I can try to I can try to feel I can try. It's only a couple weeks left in the season, but I can try No problem and appreciate those questions man. What's up, Joey?

I will see you all In the next video whenever that may be so appreciate it and I'm out


Azerbaijan created humanitarian corridor for evacuation of Karabakh population from dangerous area. As part of the local anti-terrorist activities carried out by the armed forces of Azerbaijan in the Karabakh region, only legitimate military installations and infrastructure are targeted and incapacitated using high precision weapons the Ministry of Defence of Azerbaijan said. Considering the development of firepower by Armenia's armed forces formation near residential areas, we urge the civilian population to stay away from military facilities and not support the formations of Armenia's armed forces. Related information was sent to Armenian residents of the Karabakh region of Azerbaijan via mobile SMS service. At the same time, the population is warned through loudspeakers and information leaflets are distributed. The protection and security of administrative, social, educational, medical, religious and other facilities will be organized in line with the laws of the Republic of Azerbaijan and the norms of international humanitarian law.  They will be provided with drinking water and food. Humanitarian corridors and reception stations have been created on the Lachin Road and in other directions to ensure the evacuation of the population from the danger zone.


Now in prior presentations, we've been looking at some of the items in our drop-down up top, primarily focusing in on the forms, the forms being the data input that we are putting in place in a form format in order to record most of these being financial transactions that are then used to create the end result that we've been looking at, the balance sheet, the income statement and the related reports. Now we want to look at some of those underlying things that need to be set up in order to get the data input to be as easy as possible. Now this is stuff that usually is set up when you first set up a company file such as the chart of accounts.


Well the Minnesota State Patrol and the Minnesota Timberwolves recently teamed up to create an important message regarding distracted driving. This PSA featuring the Wolves mascot Crunch shows the effects of being distracted while on the court. Now of course the consequences are much more serious when behind the wheel of a 2,000 pound vehicle and Joe Tchaikovsky died in a 2015 distracted driver crash and his family and friends are doing what they can to raise awareness so others don't suffer from tragedies like this. That we have to make. I miss him so much and it's hard for me to think about him not being at my graduation next year or other family events. He was a family-oriented person and I miss him so much. Please do not commit a crime as bad as this. Texting and driving is dangerous and you need to make the decision not to text and drive. An extra distracted driving enforcement campaign is underway and in the first week law enforcement has encountered some disturbing examples of distracted driving including this person who is brushing his teeth while behind the wheel. Some other examples include a woman in Moorhead eating and texting, a 30 year old driver cited for a school bus armed violation in Cassin. That driver was eating cereal from a bowl while driving, a 17 year old female driver who was on Snapchat while driving near Fostin and a 34-year-old man near Langby who was stopped by a trooper while making a fantasy NBA draft list on his phone. The extra distracted driving enforcement campaign started on April 10th and runs through the 23rd. It involves deputies, police officers and troopers from more than 300 agencies statewide.

Good morning, and it's a great morning for New Yorkers and a great morning to be in New York City I want to start first by thanking our members of the elected world that have joined us for today. That is Councilmember Shawn Abreu who sponsored much rat Legislation, thank you councilmember Councilmember Chi Jose councilmember Eric botcher and I believe we oh no, we don't have Manhattan borough president Levine, but he he wanted to be here. So thank you everybody for joining. I'm Mira Zoshi deputy mayor for operations and There are two undisputed truths about the Adams administration Mayor Eric Adams loves his mother Next month we'll be discussing that But this month we're going to discuss the other one Mayor Eric Adams hates rats All joking aside Rats are a quality of life issue They're plagued our city for generations and they're synonymous with chaos Uncleanliness and disorder they pose serious health risks for those who live Around them who work around them and they even destroy property Rats actually chew car wires to sharpen their teeth, which is pretty audacious For the last several months and together with my friend and deputy mayor Williams and will and Williams Isom We've resurrected and expanded the citywide rat task force That includes parks sanitation DOT schools the health department small business services and NYCHA many of the representatives and leadership that you see here behind me today and A few things became very very evident one We need lots of different kinds of exterminations to get rid of rats and you see over here a few different examples of those and On that subject. I'm pleased to announce that through the mayor's fund to advance New York City New York City received a generous gift from Scott's miracle grow company of a thousand rat Snap traps to help us fight rats. So thank you New Yorkers for stepping up What was also evidenced from the task force is that the city's work and the private citizens approach to trash Makes a real difference in rats ability to survive But I think the single most important thing is that real full-time focused leadership is necessary to get rats done So as many as you and many of you know we put out a job posting it was well written I'd say very very well written and within two weeks We had nine hundred applicants some of them were cats some of them were dogs the selection process was grueling follow-up questions writing samples hypotheticals multiple interviews on zoom in person and A grueling team of interviewers. Thank you. I want to call out Bonnie Tang who did an amazing job leading this effort our First deputy mayors team our chief of staffs team Chief advisor Ingrid Lewis Martin's team deputy mayors Williams and Williams Isom and Marietta or a springer and their teams our press office are now mayor's office of operations So I'm pleased today that all New Yorkers will get to meet who we chose a woman and that should not be a surprise Who can see around corners? has the fortitude and persistence necessary to battle rats and the character personality and Personality to keep New Yorkers informed and active in the fight against rats and most most importantly knows how to get stuff done and now I'd like to introduce our mayor the original rat hater mayor Eric Adams Thank you, thank you so much so much deputy mayor and the entire team in our council of persons That are here in Harlem Where we are rolling out a three point five million dollar initiative initiative on the rat mitigation zone To add with some of the other rat mitigation zones, and I remember two weeks ago I got a call from actually DOE employee David Who lives in in Green Point?   But that is not many of us many of us live in communities where rats think they run the city and We are serious about this every day employees. I hear it all the time I'm on the trains and walking the streets people stop me and say, you know We're with you man.  They you know, they produced their best product We have others who are dealing with rats the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene I think that's their crew over there. Is that is that DOHM? I love you guys, you know DSNY, you know the we're not having what historically other Administrations did and we all foot this this is not new But it's a problem that no one wanted to put on the forefront. Everyone tried. I know Mayor de Blasio did the dry ice Mayor de bloom bloom bird. He did some things. So everyone tried and what we noticed when we got in office was that there was a disconnect and There were some clear indicators from all the experts. I can't even tell you how many Ted talks talks I saw in rats and how many readings, you know that I've done But they all come to the same thing got to get to the food source If you don't get to the food source, then you're not going to solve the problem And you have to get to where they live and they're we're still rolling out other items This is only one of the levels. We have several more levels of things. We are testing right now on how we could deal with this problem and then Commissioner Tish has been amazing our whole push towards putting our garbage in containers is going to be a huge pick pick up I will push to change the put out times of garbage People say well, that's not going to solve the problem. Listen, it's many rivers that feed to see a rats That's one of them, you know, this there's no instant Rat pellet that's going to solve this problem You have to build dams in every area and what the Commissioner of Department of Sanitation is doing with her team It's a significant part changing the hours putting garbage in containers really focusing on The areas that we consider to be these rat mitigation areas. So it's a combination But what we have saw I have witnessed with Deputy Mayor Mayor Josie saw is that it was disjointed So we needed someone that was that was going to put all the pieces together and all the players together to coordinate of this entire Symphony of fighters. We needed a maestro. We needed someone that understood at the track record Was focused on it a commitment We and we were fortunate that although we did a national search We were able to find someone right in our own backyard that was already having a working expertise of dealing with rat mitigation did it in the Department of Education Looked at some of the issues of rat mitigation in the Department of Education while babies are, you know There was a real rodent problem. She found success success there And so we're we're proud, you know, you know, we had her under wrapping keys She was like a witness protection because we don't want one of you to crack the story And you know start doing background checks seeing did she get any rat summons is on her block And you know what has she hasn't ever dated an exterminator, you know, so we say you know what keeper under wrap She was she was under Rap, you know had her own little undercover, you know, I'm amazed that they didn't break the story yet But you know, we we are just really happy today to say that we have found our rats are and she's focused Focus on improving the quality of life of New York is all of us Want to improve the quality it is expensive enough to live in the city with our families and children We don't need outside tenants like rats in our homes Terrorizing us every day. And so let me be the first to turn over to you Our new rats are Kathy come say a few words Thank you mayor for this incredible opportunity to make a real difference in people's lives When I first saw this job posting, I wasn't sure if it was real Bloodthirsty is not a word. You usually see in a job description. And it's certainly not a word. I usually describe myself But I have to say the rats are ad got my attention and My wife's grandmother called from North Carolina and asked if I was going to apply Well, obviously destiny was calling You see, I have a long history with rats my introduction to public service came when I was 10 years old Getting signatures on petitions for anti rat measures in my neighborhood and For three years I spearheaded the Department of Education's wrote reduction efforts During those years I spent a lot of time looking for signs of rats and Working to end the conditions that allow them to thrive Due to those efforts nearly 70% of schools with persistent rat issues reach their compliance goals This got me thinking thinking about ways We as a city could improve our approach to trash and rodents and ultimately make a better life for all New Yorkers Rat mitigation is more than a quality of life issue Rats are the symptom of systemic issues including sanitation health Housing and economic justice You can't just deal with one part of the problem and call it a day We need system-wide solutions Strong leadership and an engaged population to join the efforts That's where I come in as New York City's first director of rodent mitigation I will bring a science and systems-based approach to reducing New York City's rat population With a strong focus on cutting off the food water and shelter rats need to survive and Ensure every New Yorker is prepared to take up this mantle in this fight My background is in biology and urban sustainability But I'm also a former elementary school teacher who knows behavior change and culture shifts do not happen overnight We need to get the message out to New Yorkers This is going to take all of us fighting rats starts with fighting litter garbage and food waste and As anyone who's seen the movie Ratatouille knows rats love the same foods humans do That's why every anti-rat initiative starts with making sure food related waste Gets into bins that rats can't This means getting food scraps into DSM y-brown compost bins and litter into waste baskets in parks and on streets and if you see unsanitary conditions or a colony of rats also known as a mischief Call 311 and tell us where and when and we'll send people to check on it I'm looking forward to starting right here in Harlem Partnering with city agencies and the local community to ensure our streets parks and playgrounds are the best they can be You'll be seeing a lot of me and a lot less rats Pizza rat may like live in infamy But rats and the conditions that support their thriving will no longer be tolerated in New York City no more dirty curbs Unmanaged spaces or brazen burrowing There's a new sheriff in town And with your help we'll send those rats packing. Thank you Kathleen karate Kathleen with a K K a T H L E E N karate C O R R a D I Thank you and one person before we open up to two questions because I know you have many We want to one person who has talked about this over and over particularly in the parts of the Bronx in Harlem Has joined us. I'm glad he's here with us. He's with me yesterday But this has been a real focus of his own quality of life And so I just want to have our congressman say a few words congressman. Thank you. Thank you mayor boy Everybody's seen that rat with the pita, right? I sent council member Shawna Braille also a Social media take on on a rat bully in a cat into a corner But this those days are over and so we have a new rat czar in town and of course Let me give you some some numbers that my team gave me this morning and they just staggering mr. Mayor They live to be about two years, but mature within two months Mate within two seconds and rat can produce eight to ten babies after six times a year That's a hundred and twenty rats For each rat mother doing their lifetime That's a lot. I mean, this is an undertaking, right? And of course they migrate for a host of reasons. I know that uptown When they move the cobblestones from the streets on 10th Avenue They migrated right into my neighborhood and you know, we had to so like begin to take measures To stop them very systematic measures And time-consuming measures and so this is so important, right? He agrees And so But this is a great initiative because the quality of life in New York is important. I I had a recent meeting with all the night cheerleaders On the state office building just a few nights ago and one of the top concerns Was rats? I mean they were like really making a statement about how large they are how far they climb up where they get to and the kind of Peril that they put our families in and so I thank you mayor for Your commitment to eradicate rats I want to thank also my city council member one of my city council members shona Braille He is like you're Batman and he's Robin and so we thank you for For your efforts and I look forward to partnering with you to to take on the rats the days of the rats in New York City is A first is the coordination and We were really playing Whack-a-mole and There was you know as much work is Department of Health and Mental Hygiene What they have been doing we basically put it solely on them and so now this coordinated effort Through what Kathy is going to do is going to allow us to put everyone as part of the team So the Department of Sanitation the parks department Department of Health them into hygiene and then we want to look at new ways of how to fight the rats on the upper east side They started using this product that they were able to close 96% of their boroughs by using Some type of smoke that the they were it was older list They couldn't see it and is suffocated those who were inside the boroughs and so right now the For the chief of staff is monitoring with the first deputy mayor and deputy mayor of operation These we have we have several tests that are taking place right now as we speak We should have the outcome of those tests the end of April the end of May and then we're going to move it You know throughout the entire city rats are smart They're resilient as the congressman stated they populate as such an alarming rate That if you don't really cut off their food source and go after those who are already there Then you're not going to keep pace and split here for the first time. We're seeing a coordination We're going to have a person that's going to coordinate all the efforts Decilo, that's the trademark of this administration. We we are decilo in government if there were so many silos and The left hand didn't know what the right hand was doing and now we're making sure that we all communicate together We're going to Monitor, you know my belief you don't inspect what you expect. There's all suspect and we've been getting too many suspect outcomes And so Kathy has the important role of making sure we are moving towards our targets closing the rat Mitigation zones and make sure we target the rodents Yes Schools that you targeted and we're able to clean up the rat problem Okay, so first this is the project we're doing here. There's a real all our rat mitigation zones are being targeted and Here in Harlem, it's just being as recently added as a rat mitigation zone. This is one of many This is not the only resources we're using to fight this problem Kathleen is going to get in and now and do an analysis on you know Number one the new products that we're testing now She's going to take over that whole operation of looking at these new products. What are the outcomes? Which ones we're going to have city-wide and she's going to do an assessment of what she needs to do Her job and you may definitely may want to go over what you did in a DOE if you would like Thank you So when I was working on Department of Education's road and reduction efforts It was in the three existing previous road and mitigation zones bedstie Lower East side Chinatown and Grant concourse regions and in that work We had about 120 buildings where we deployed, you know Restricting access to food water and shelter to make sure we were targeting rat populations That was part of the last administration's funding where we really focused efforts on what worked well Some of those are still in play now the tilt trucks you see on School curbs are something that we deployed and really limited access to food If I might call you miss rats are You know Just wondering how are we gonna know whether or not things are working? Are you gonna be counting the number of rats that you kill? I mean how are we gonna know things are working because they hide So we know what rats need to survive right food water and shelter and our approach will be Targeting those three areas Department of Health is already doing great data collection And I encourage everyone to go to NYC gov slash rats to see the latest and greatest of the work They're capturing, you know our measure of success rats are tough, but New Yorkers are tougher So it's gonna take everyone involved to make sure this is successful Thank you Back on the funding issue. I'm just wondering Kathleen How much you're gonna be earning in your new post and then secondly mr. Mayor you mentioned de siloing government I know the Department of Health already has a director of pest control services What exactly are the difference between these two new jobs and why are they both?  Okay, you can listen online online, but a full transparency.  I think fighting rats. That's not enough, but we were able to get a good call out the What I found Chris when I became mayor is that there was not enough communication and yes Department of Health and mental hygiene. They have been doing this heavy lift on their own as Kathleen pointed out that even what she did with the Department of Education of Limiting limiting limiting the food source and making sure garbage is picked up on time that is really the Department of Sanitation issue and I was out this Saturday with Commissioner Tish looking at some of the food bins I mean some of the garbage bins throughout the city on how we can start putting garbage in containers And so it's difficult for the Commissioner of DOHMH to now go over to Department of Sanitation and Implement an initiative canal you crossing over agencies. We need and our Administration has been operating off of this task force setting where we give representatives from each agencies But you need a person that's going to coordinate it and that is the role. She's going to play The mayor has made it very clear his stance on rats. He hates rats.  I hate rats I'm no stranger to rats From a child getting signatures on petitions to fight them in my neighborhood to leading the work at DOE For the rodent mitigation zones there. We saw significant drops in rat populations Now but think about it for a moment as a this is almost a job that's made for her as a child She was doing petitioning to get rats out of her community, you know So it just really to find your your calling I think it's the right time in New York is a happy that she's here. We had another question. Mr. Mayor. Yes, sir Your your rats are just said that the number one priority for dealing with rats is to make sure that trash is in containers Does that mean you're gonna reprioritize? Trash containerization across the city maybe allocate a little more money towards it bump it up towards the top of your priority list well first Like I stated I was out Saturday going around looking at places with their containers and meeting the Commissioner she was home and I said I wanted to see the containers that you're thinking about rolling out We're gonna do a looking to do a pilot and she came and met me at the garage I don't think you're going to find an administration that is more serious about Containers and put placing our garbage in containers like we are and people think that Okay, just drop containers all throughout the street. No, there is a process From making sure we have the right trucks to pick up the containers to make sure that we look at the design of the containers There is a process to get in this city to become the cleanest city in America which we're going to do and that includes of the Of the dining sheds don't partner with the city council on what's the new version of that? And so we're taking a holistic approach to this and containers are very much part of that plan But it's not a snap your fingers Hey, New York is put your garbage in a large containers We sent the team down to Greece to look at what they're doing. We're looking at what Israel is doing We sent a team of deputy mayor a mayor went down to Buenos Aires to see what they're doing We're watching what others are doing so we can get it right because these are taxpayers dollars. So we have to get it, right I know there are PSA's out that tell people to put their litter, you know in the basket Because there's so much food that sits around on the street. So How to be more proactive with that you can have boots on the ground For some level of enforcement or direction for people to like relearn that behavior. Yeah, no, so true You know when we were growing up. There was so many, you know, no stop later. There were so many ad campaigns I think this is the first time is I don't know if tissues here.  And so to her very New York style campaigning and ad campaign is to do just that We have to remind people the connection, you know, on one breath.  We don't enforce for the sake of enforcement, but this year our enforcement of cleanliness related violations are up 80% And after this press conference, we can get you the actual numbers But we've taken a very specific approach to enforcement where we're for focusing our resources on cleanliness related violations Directly, was there anything specifically that you saw on her that, you know made you want to hire her? I thought she was great for this position and to the rats are wondering the mayor did a thing with rat buckets a few years ago With the rats were drowning. He got criticized for being mean to rats not being remain I'm wondering if you're interested at all in like humane rat destruction, you know You know The the first part of your question was did I do the interview directly, you know I've been reading that book thinking fast thinking slow And so I tried out that first lesson in the book on Kathy when I interviewed her Sometimes we look at the tech technical aspects of a person skillset instead of finding who they are as a human being and When I interviewed her directly after we went through all the other candidates I came down to the last few and I interviewed her You just saw an emotionally intelligent Thinker that has been in several jobs Roots here in the city loved this city I was impressed that she did a petition as a child That just so showed a forward thinking of her and I just saw a Decent human being that is willing to solve a problem that impacts on far too many New Yorkers And so you can look at her biology degree you can look at all that other stuff But the question that I asked everyone and I remember My chief of staff for Sandy of the day, you know, I'd like to know who you are as a person Because who you are as a person is going to define who you will be as a professional and I like who she was as a person We are absolutely gonna explore all different rat mitigation techniques Measure quantify the data see what works best to scale across the city. These are taxpayer dollars We're spending so we want to make sure we're using the most efficient technique and part of that is determining which strategies are effective Great question. Great question Here's what we have done successful in this administration. That's going to be Really revealed when we in the museum of the city of New York. We've looked at pre-existing people and Utilize them to coordinate You know, it's not always about how many more people you add on what are you doing with the people you already have? We already have people in the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene who are experts in this area We already have people in the Department of Sanitation We have people in the Department of Education all of these places we have people the question becomes What are we doing with the people we have these are taxpayers dollars? And it's my responsibility to make sure we during these tough budgetary Moments that we do the best with taxpayer dollars. So what we're going to do is coordinate the people we have She has an army and all of these agencies that's going to fall under her coordination and they ready They want the coordination you speak with some of these Employees who are on the ground every day. They don't like going through all of these walls and barriers They want to coordinate to get the results there. They're looking for okay And a few So yourself how you doing brother good to see you man Known pat for a long time He called me yesterday And said I Eric I wanted you To be the first to know before I make a public announcement And I want to share with you that I'm not going to run for reelection and if you would if you were to do an analysis of of the few years That pat and I have not always agreed on topics But we've never been disagreeable and Not only when He first ran I was in a 100 blacks in law enforcement who care and many times we were on opposite sides of issues But there was never a time that we could not pick up the phone and Speak he fought on behalf of his membership and I fought on behalf of the things that were important to me and You know, I think that he has been a a good public servant for his members of Even in those areas that we did not agree on we both agreed that we should support our law enforcement officers That we should Make sure our city is safe and someone's have someone must speak on behalf of innocent people that are the victims of crimes And that's what he that that's that is what he has done and you know, I think he's gonna go on I wish him, you know prosperity in the next line of work that he does He has he has more he has more miles on the tire I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Did you hear the question about the smoke shop the smoke The The I believe that shooter if we're talking about the same shooter I believe he was actually he did two shootings if we're talking about the same shooter he did two shooters and I think that you know when You've heard me over and over again extreme recidivism Us what we need to focus on if we want to continue to drive down crime, you know, the commissioner and her team They did an amazing job and they continue to do double-digit decrease in homicide double-digit decrease in shooters You know, we saw a record level of gun seizures over last year But you know these extreme recidivists their problem not only in shootings and homicide, but their problem also in The seven majors, you know, when you look at the recidivism around GLA's recidivism around burglaries around loss in the grand That's our focus and so right now Orban is deliberating. I've had some great conversations with the leaders up there And I believe that, you know, there seems to be an appetite to focus on this extreme recidivism He's a poster child of extreme recidivism and there's a lot of extreme recidivism that goes unnoticed because a lot of cases are Dismissed so they don't go part of the stats and you know, we just really need to look at those extreme recidivism Mr. Mayor? Yes, the city's applied for 650 million dollars from the federal government to Handle the migrant situation. I'm wondering if that covers it and have you made an estimate as to what the total is so far The city has expended and do you expect the 650 million? I mean, have you adequately justified it? First, this is a national problem and it should be Financed by the national government and I know I have to say it over and over again But can you imagine the national government is saying to our city? You are going to take 52,000 people and You're not going to receive any money. They can't work. They can't support themselves. That's all on your dime It's just unbelievable. And so The 800 million dollars that Senator Schumer, Congressman Jeffries and the New York Delegations and others were able to secure We're putting in 350 million dollars for it because that's the max But we're asking for an additional 300 million dollars to come to a total of 600 and 50 million dollars Because that's what we believe we spend based on the numbers that's coming from our budget Officers office. We should not have to pay for this and I'm really I had a conversation with the speaker Of the city council I really need my elected officials throughout the city to join us in this This is going to impact every service in the city And so we believe that a lot of people come through the border states, but they end up in New York We have the lion's share and we should get the lion's share of the money That's what the city has spent so hard. Yes Yes, you want to be nice to your colleagues you want to get everyone, you know, so don't don't hog up all the time, you know Kim Lee is sitting there getting a suntan, you know You know, we thought that We were in a good place because he was in Florida, you know, he didn't tie up our city now You know, he's going to be back here often and you know, we're going to be prepared We do what we do when we have large gatherings or someone coming to the city I think the district attorney is going to carry out his role as well So it's not not much my role in the police commission's role is to make sure that we have the city keep Moving without inconveniencing on New York is as much as possible Your thoughts on that and being are you planning to look for another big event? Every day all day. We love this is this is the big apple because we have big events every day we have everything from comic con to You know, we just had the Royal Dyslexia Summit that we were able to convince to come to New York last year. We asked them to come here They were really proud of the things we're doing So we're going to continue to roll out you put we did a great job We left everything on the floor and so we were excited about our presentation We had an opportunity to highlight New York and so, you know, congratulations to Mayor Lightfoot and the governor so but we you know the The president and his team made the decision that they want to look at where the swing states are So, you know, we're going to keep pulling out to these big events, you know We went to Super Bowl here. We went to all-star game here. We want everything here Yes, yes, Katie Thank you, Mr. Mayor wanted to ask about the Digi dog. Yes yesterday So some members of the council Including some that were just standing next to you And first of all criticized that and then secondly pointed to something called a post act that was passed in 2020 It requires the city to Provide Police surveillance technology 90 days before use it seems that wasn't applied in this instance before you announced it yesterday How are you able to do this without following the cost? Okay? Well a couple of things The move is these items to the items are Pilot projects to the items are pilot projects. The second is thank you Um, the second is that The Digi dog is already that dog is already using the fdn why? It's already using fdn fdn why and so I think there's a level of inaccuracy to what you what you're saying But we'll have the team follow up with you on the exact on process and how that term that terminology is used But the two items the RTD to That is affectionately called is is a pilot and the Tracker is a pilot as well, you know, so You know, I cannot say it enough, you know, and I wasn't a secret when I ran for office What's interesting about me? All you have to do is look at my campaign Comments and literature and see what I'm doing. It's the same thing. I This is what I said I was going to do and this is what I'm doing We always talking about people run for office and then don't do what they say they're going to do I said I was going to be scanning the globe for technology and use it and this is only the beginning It's only the beginning the stuff I have in a pipeline is game-changing around technology And we're going to follow all the rules on Implementing and using it But the city must become the leader in technology and keeping people safe And I'm not shying away from that. I've made that clear. I didn't I'm not gonna go into apologize to that All technology all technology we are we are Listen when you're when you're tasty they want to bite you to bees We are looking at the amount of technology that's going to come out of this administration Is going to shift how we do How we deliver goods and services in the city? I we have a Unit that's focused on just emerging markets and technology we're going to use technology to run our city better and It's going to help New Yorkers get a better return on their tax dollars And we're looking in every area just about every agency in the city is going to be impacted by technology in the city Because we have to produce a better product, and we're not Rookies are working hard, but we are not giving them the tools they need to do it And many many of our employees call me up and says Eric There's another way we can do this, but no one was listening to them, but I listened to them And we're going to move forward with it Yeah Congressman Jordan who's leading this, you know, I'm I really misunderstood this when I first heard about it I thought sure that they understood that in their congressional districts crime was going so high They wanted to come and meet with me alone and find out what we're doing so successful I'm a little disappointed that they're coming here complaining about crime here when per capita That crime is through the roof a lot of people don't realize crime in congressional and Republican areas Per capita is through the roof and they continue to talk about the overproliferation of guns Their guns are coming from the southern borders the southern states to our cities like New York and Chicago's and others You know, so if anything they should be her holding a hearing on Lessons learned on what Kishan is doing other than that this is just a an extension of Donald Trump campaign Campaigning and it really makes no sense, you know, we haven't been communicated to participate and You know, I don't even know what they're doing. They while they here. They should sit down with Kishan Okay


In our civilized countries, all the elements of nature are slaves. In order to get a hold of some of this wealth appropriated by the rich, it must be purchased with heavy labor, which increases the wealth of these rich persons. Thus it is that all captive nature has ceased to offer to these children resources of easy access for the maintenance of their life. Its favors must be paid for by assiduous toil and its gifts by stubborn labors. The rich man, who is appropriated to himself the exclusive possession of it, only at this price can sense to restore even the smallest part of it to the community. In order to be allowed to share in its treasures, it is necessary to labor to increase them. One must then renounce this chimera of liberty. Laws exist in order to sanctify a primary usurpation of private property and to prevent new usurpations. They are, as it were, a conspiracy against the greater part of the human race, that is, against those who own no property. It is society which has produced these laws and not the laws which have produced society. Property existed before the laws. Society itself, the fact that man lives in society and not as an independent self-supporting animal, is the root of property, of the laws based on it and of the inevitable slavery. On the one hand, there were peaceful and isolated husbandmen and shepherds. On the other hand, quote, Hunters accustomed to live by blood to gather together in bands the more easily to entrap and fell the beasts on which they fed and to concert together on the division of the spoils. It is among the hunters that the first signs of society must have appeared. Real society came into being at the expense of the shepherds or husbandmen and was founded on their subjection by a band of hunters who had joined hands. All duties of society were resolved into commanding and obeying. This degradation of a part of the human race after it had produced society gave birth to laws. Stripped of the conditions of production, the laborers are compelled by need to labor to increase the wealth of others and order themselves to live. It is the impossibility of living by any other means that compels our farm laborers to till the soil whose fruits they will not eat and our masons to construct buildings in which they will not live. It is want that drags them to those markets where they go eat masters who will do them the kindness of buying them. It is want that compels them to go down on their knees to the rich man in order to get from him permission to enrich him. Violence then has been the first cause of society and force the first bond that held it together. Men's first care was doubtless to provide themselves with food. The second must have been to seek to provide themselves with it without labor. They could only achieve this by appropriating to themselves the fruit of other men's labor. The first conquerors only made themselves despots so that they could be idle with impunity and kings in order to have something to live on and this greatly narrows and simplifies the idea of domination. Society is born of violence and property of usurpation. As soon as there were masters and slaves, society was formed. From the beginning, the two pillars of the civil union were on the one hand the slavery of the greater part of the men and on the other the slavery of all the women. It was at the cost of three quarters of its members that society assured the happiness, the opulence, the ease of the small number of property owners whom alone it had in view. The question therefore is not to examine whether slavery is contrary to nature in itself but whether it is contrary to the nature of society. It is inseparable from it. Society and civil servitude were born together. Permanent slavery, the indestructible foundation of societies. Men have only been reduced to depend for their subsistence on the liberality of another man when the letter by despoiling them has become rich enough to be able to return a small portion to them. His feigned generosity could be no more than a restitution of some part of the fruits of their labours which he had appropriated. Does not servitude consist in this obligation to sow without reaping for oneself, to sacrifice one's well-being to that of another, to labour without hope? And did not its real epoch begin from the moment when there were men whom the whip and a few measures of oats when they were brought to the stable could compel to labour? It is only in a fully developed society that food seems to the poor starvelling a sufficient equivalent for his liberty but in society in its early stages free men would be struck with horror at this unequal exchange. It could only be proposed for captives. Only after they have been deprived of the enjoyment of all their faculties can the exchange become a necessity for them. The essence of society consists in freeing the rich man from labour, giving him new organs, untiring members which take upon themselves all the laborious operations, the fruits of which he is to appropriate. That is the plan which slavery allows him to carry out without embarrassment. He buys men who are to serve him. In suppressing slavery, no claim was made that either wealth or its advantages were suppressed. It was therefore necessary that things should remain the same except in name. It has always been necessary for the majority of men to continue to live in the pay of and independence on the minority which has appropriated to itself all wealth. Slavery has therefore been perpetuated on the earth but under a sweeter name. Among us now it is adorned with the title of service. By these servants, lingue says, he does not mean lackeys and the like. The towns in the countryside are peopled by another kind of servant, more widely spread, more useful, more laborious and known by the name of journeymen, handicraftsmen, etc. They are not dishonoured by the brilliant colours of luxury. They sigh beneath the loathsome rags which are the uniform of penury. They never share in the abundance of which their labor is the source. Wealth seems to grant them a favour when it kindly accepts the presence that they make to it. It is for them to be grateful for the services which they render to it. It pours on them the most outrageous contempt while they are clasping its knees imploring permission to be useful to it. It has to be pleaded with to grant this and in this particular exchange of real generosity for an imaginary favour arrogance and disdain are on the side of the receiver and servility, anxiety and eagerness on the side of the giver. These are the servants who have truly replaced the serfs among us. The point that has to be examined is this. What effective gain the suppression of slavery has brought to them? I say with as much sorrow as frankness all that they have gained is to be every moment tormented by the fear of death from hunger a calamity that at least never visited their predecessors in this lowest rank of mankind. He is free, you say. That is his misfortune. He is bound to no one, but also no one is bound to him. When he is needed, he is hired at the cheapest price possible. The meager wage that he has promised is hardly equal to the price of his subsistence for the day which he gives in exchange. He is given overlookers to compel him to fulfill his task quickly. He is hard driven, he is goaded on for fear that a skillfully concealed and only too comprehensible laziness may make him hold back half his strength for fear that the hope of remaining employed longer on the same task may stay in his hands and blunt his tools. The sordid economy that keeps a restless watch on him overwhelms him with reproaches at the slightest respite he seems to allow himself and claims to have been robbed if he takes a moment's rest. When he is finished, he is dismissed as he was taken on with the coldest indifference and without any concern as to whether the twenty or thirty sews that he has just earned for a hard day's labor will be enough to keep him if he finds no work the following day. He is free. That is precisely why I pity him. For that reason, he is much less cared for in the labors in which he is used. His life is much more readily hazarded. The slave was precious to his master because of the money he had cost him, but the handicraftsmen cost nothing to the rich of a luxury who employs him. Men's blood had some price in the days of slavery. They were worth at least as much as they could be sold for in the market.  A pioneer is much less valued in an army than a pack horse because the horse is very costly and the pioneer can be had for nothing. The suppression of slavery brought these military calculations into civil life and since that epoch, there has been no prosperous bourgeois who does not calculate in this way as heroes do. The day laborers are born, grow up and are trained for, they are bred for the service of wealth without causing at the slightest expense like the game that it massacres over its estates. It seems as if it really has the secret of which the unfortunate Pompeii vainly boasted. Wealth has only to stamp on the ground and from it emerged legions of hardworking men who contend among themselves for the honor of being at its disposal. If one among this crowd of mercenaries putting up its buildings or keeping its garden straight disappears, the place that he has left empty is an invisible point which is immediately covered again without any intervention from anyone. A drop of the water of a great river is lost without regret because new torrents incessantly succeeded. It is the same with workers. The ease with which they can be replaced fosters the rich man's hard-heartedness towards them. This is the form used by Lingui, not yet capitalist. These men, it is said, have no master, pure abuse of the word. What does it mean they have no master? They have one and the most terrible, the most imperious of masters that is need. It is this that reduces them to the most cruel dependence. It is not one man in particular whose orders they must obey, but the orders of all in general. It is not a single tyrant whose whims they have to humor and whose benevolence they have to court which would set a limit to their servitude and make it indurable. They become the valets of anyone who has money which gives their slavery an infinite compass and severity. It is said that if they don't get on well with one master they at least have the consolation that they can tell him so in the power to make a change but that the slaves have neither the one nor the other. They are therefore all the more wretched. What sophistry! For bear in mind that the number of those who make others work is very small and the number of workers on the contrary is immense. What is this apparent liberty which you have bestowed on them reduced to for them? They live only by hiring out their arms. They must therefore find someone to hire them or die of hunger. Is that to be free? What is most terrible is that the very smallness of this pay is another reason for producing it. The more the day laborer is driven by want the cheaper he sells himself. The greater the urgency of his need the less profitable is his labor. The despots for the moment whom he beseeches with tears to accept his services feel no shame in as it were feeling his pulse to assure themselves that he has enough strength left. They fix the reward that they offer him by the degree of his weakness the never they think he is to death from starvation the more they deduct from what could keep him from it. And what scraps that they do give him is less to prolong his life than to delay his death. The independence of the day laborer is one of the most baneful scourges that the refinement of modern times has produced. It augments the wealth of the rich and the poverty of the poor. The one saves everything that the other spends. What the latter is forced to economize is not from his superfluity but from what is indispensable to him. If today it is so easy to maintain these prodigious armies which join with luxury in order to bring about the extinction of the human race it is only due to the suppression of slavery. It is only since there have no longer been slaves that debauchery and beggary make heroes at five sews a day. I find this that is Asiatic slavery a hundred times more preferable than any other way of existing for men reduced to having to win their livelihood by daily labor. The slaves and the laborer's chains are made of the same material and only differently colored. Here they are black and seem heavy. There they look less gloomy and seem hollower but weigh them impartially and you will find no difference between them. Both are equally forged by necessity. They have precisely the same weight or rather if they are a few grains more in one case it is in the one whose external appearance proclaims that it is lighter. Linguet here calls to the man of the French Enlightenment in regard to the laborers. Do you not see that the subjection the annihilation since it must be said of this large part of the flock creates the wealth of the shepherds? Believe me in his interest in yours and even in theirs leave them with the conviction that they have that this cur who yelps of them is stronger by himself than they all are together.  Everyone benefits from it. It'll make it easier for you to gather them in to fleece them for yourself. They are more easily guarded from being devoured by wolves. It is true only to be eaten by men. But anyway, that is their fate from the moment they have entered a stable before talking of releasing them from there start by overthrowing the stable that is to say society.

Hi again Red Hat Developers, this is Jason with the Red Hat Developers program. I'm here today at day two of Summit 2017 in the Dev Zone with Joanna Knokfor. She's going to talk about the Red Hat mobile applications platform Raincatcher. Again I'm a senior mobile technical account manager here at Red Hat and I'm here to introduce a special feature for Red Hat mobile called Raincatcher. Raincatcher was specifically developed for workflow models and for enterprises that are working on workflow applications. So what is Raincatcher? In three bullets we can say rate we can consider Raincatcher as an armad feature. It is an armad feature because it comes with a lot of combined modules that help you build applications with many features quickly. It is specifically again for workforce management and if you want to scan that QR code that will take you to our open source GitHub repository and take a look at the code and maybe you can contribute one or more modules to Raincatcher. So let's talk a little bit. This is kind of an upper level slide of what the requirements are for enterprise workforce management. For sure if you're an enterprise and you have workers out in the field and they are collecting data they're doing their job they need to submit forms it has to be flexible for you to be able to define your workflow and of course a workflow is multiple forms that a worker has to fill one after the other. You have to be able to see where they are what job they're doing be able to schedule a job for them and be able to have a mobile that is an easy interface for them to use and not have to think about how to use the UI. Analytics is big you need to understand how efficient you are or how efficient you can be. You need to be able to talk or message your workforce easily and not be able to think about how can I call my my worker here at this field. So those are like general requirements for a successful enterprise workforce management. So using Raincatcher and I will talk about it in a little bit more more deep dive into it. Why do you need Raincatcher? As I explained if you are an enterprise and you are working on creating apps workflow apps that increase your productivity of your workforce streamline the workflow. You have real-time operations going on between you and your workforce that would give you better customer satisfaction and it will increase of course that will increase your sales and revenue. So let's let's go a little deeper into what is rain how is Raincatcher developed or how is it architected. Raincatcher is heavily based on modules so you can create your own module we also have modules that are WFM modules that come packaged with this feature. What is a module? A module can have a UI user interface and that we use Angular.js it could be on the phone with the user interface or it could be on the cloud and that's where we use Node.js and Express.js for routing and it could communicate with each other using sync or HTTP. Now modules they don't talk to each other directly they use a special module called a mediator and a mediator is a published sublist messaging queue. So if you want to talk to a different module you subscribe to their topic or you publish your own topic and topics are represented by a URL or a string starting with WFM and string one, string two will explain more of what the specific topic is about. So looking at the right side of the picture we can see that the same module can have a piece of code that interacts with the user uses a mediator to communicate with other modules can use HTTP sync to communicate with the module up in the cloud. So moving on to a different picture of the architecture. This is more a higher level view of what rain catcher architecture is. You can see it starting at the user interface. So an app module can have a user interface that's Angular. It talks to another module using a mediator. Then it use all this the platform WFM modules to communicate with other modules on the cloud app and then going back up again through mediator and if you're familiar with red hat mobile you probably familiar with our embassies and now embassies are modules that help you interact with other servers that you have on your network legacy servers or anything else. So let's talk about the use case. From a use case perspective a rain catcher feature has two users. It has the mobile worker user and it has the user that is managing all these the supervisor that's what that's sitting in an enterprise and managing all these workers are on the field. From a mobile application perspective for the worker on the field when he logs in he will see all the work orders that he has coming in that he has to do. If he clicks on that he'll be able to see where the work is, what kind of workflow he needs to do, what kind of forms he has to fill up once he's done or where he's middle, how can he get to his also directions and how to get to the place where he needs to do his work. From a supervisor perspective on the web portal when they log in they can see who the workers on the field are, where they are, what kind of job they're doing right now, you can assign jobs to them, you can communicate with them. So all this comes with if we move on to the next slide with our demo solution. So if you are a Red Hat mobile application platform customer today you can start a project that has all these modules already built in and as I explained before the mobile app is Cordova and that's the use case here the UI. It will also come with a web portal for your supervisor and that's how it starts here with login and it also comes with a cloud app part that's the endpoint for those two and as an add-in we have an example for a WFM authentication module that you can use also. So if you scan this barcode here that will take you to our GitHub how to start guide how to do this demo solution if you are a Red Hat mobile application platform customer. My next talks I think they were done with this talk my next talk is extending Red Hat products with mobile at 10.30 tomorrow and I have another talk that's really interesting artificial intelligence tools for mobile that's end of Thursday so hopefully you can hang around to see that one and thank you. We also have a 10 blogs if you're interested you can scan this or my Twitter account hopefully we can communicate right and that's it thank you. Thank you.
