A Living Room on Roosevelt is a public art project that engages local community in conversations about issues of community safety as connected to immigration, displacement, and policing. And we're having those conversations in a living room installation that was inspired by my living room growing up. The project is also a collaborative effort with Queens Neighborhoods United, which is a local grassroots organization that works around issues of criminalization and displacement and jacket heist. Living with Roe on the project has been an amazing experience and it has actually taught me a lot about my own community and talking to individuals about the topics that we have at hand. I've actually gotten to hear from the community stories and experiences of the topics so that way we can use in a research project that we're doing about Roosevelt Avenue in Jackson Heights and Corona. I am a self-taught multidisciplinary artist. I work in mixed media, collage, installation, photography, and writing and a lot of my practice has to do with investigating memory and intimacy, especially in relation to place, history, and trauma. We shouldn't be ashamed to talk about these subjects like immigration, displacement, and policing. We're able to talk about it in public. I think that makes people feel like they're part of a community. A lot of the pieces that are part of the installation really just were inspired by me sitting in my mom's living room and me looking at a lot of the small details and really acknowledging the labor and the creativity and intention that my mom put into those things. The record collection is actually also, it's not my mom's but it's my stepdad and my uncle's. They passed away a while ago but they lived in the same apartment that I grew up in so it's like bringing more of my family history into the space. One of the most important lessons that I've learned with my work with the LPA is that our communities are already rich with creativity and by bringing this living room installation into a public setting, we're asserting that a lot of our everyday spaces are already places for creativity and for connection.


Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Walter Matthow. Great men, hallow a whole people, and lift up all who live in their time. Such a man was general of the army, George Catlett Marshall. Recognized as one of the great military planners of all time, he contributed the design for victory in two world wars. After his military career, he enlisted in the service of all mankind. He served brilliantly in this capacity until his death in 1959. Among his many contributions in this area was the Marshall Plan. This expression of brotherhood and humanity was the instrument for European post-war recovery. He was a man of honor and of truth, a soldier, in the finest sense of that word. Mr. Walter Cronkite, the distinguished commentator, now brings us his story. The Marshall family had settled in southwestern Pennsylvania a few years before George Catlett was born in 1880. At Union Town, he entered a slow-moving world that was more a part of the past than of the future. Marshall's boyhood passed quietly, and the only contact this serious child had with the army he would someday serve came second-hand through his father's recollections of the Civil War. America's Indian frontier had only recently been tamed, and the stories of Carson and Custer were still fresh enough to excite the imagination of any boy. Looking backward over the years, it's hard to find the precise reason why young George Marshall decided to make the army his profession. But choose what he did, and he began his soldiering at a soldier's school. The Virginia Military Institute had trained many distinguished army men before George Marshall arrived in September 1897. It once boasted Stonewall Jackson as a member of its faculty. The MI provided the kind of environment calculated to encourage a young man with army ambitions, and Marshall in his four years at the school rose to cadet first captain. He was an honor graduate with a reputation for military skill and knowledge which was to follow him throughout his army career. He was a young man with a passion for facts and the ability to apply them imaginatively. Commissioned an infantry second lieutenant in 1901, Marshall shortly found himself on troop duty in the Philippines. Assignments in Oklahoma Territory, Texas, Massachusetts, and the Fort Leavenworth Staff College filled the early years. He studied and soldiered, and by the time the United States began to mobilize for war in 1916, George Marshall had become a captain in the regular army. He landed in France with the first American troops, and as a member of the First Division staff, he helped plan the battle of Kenting. Chief of operations prior to the Muse-Argonne offensive, Marshall planned the successful movement of almost a million troops, which made the great ally breakthrough possible. Marshall had helped engineer the final victory. Shown here with General Henry Allen, Marshall had risen to full kernel, and his enormous contributions to staff planning were being widely recognized. His work on the Muse-Argonne offensive brought Pershing's personal commendation. The man who designed the Muse-Argonne victory takes a moment to pose with other staff officers in France. His reputation for brilliance distinguished him among his staff colleagues. Marshall emerged from World War I as one of the most promising young officers in the army. Assigned as aide to General Pershing, Marshall's work kept him in close contact with the AEF commander during the last days in Europe. On a post-war battlefield tour, Marshall calls one officer's attention to the cameraman. Signal Corps photographers covering Pershing's activities little realized that the lean young Colonel at his side would someday be as newsworthy a figure as the illustrious Blackjack Pershing. In the late summer of 1919, General Pershing bid farewell to France and boarded the Leviathan for America. With him went Colonel George Marshall. Proud of the reputation he had acquired as a military planning brain, disappointed in the fact that he had been considered too valuable to spare for the combat command he coveted. Pershing recommended Marshall's promotion to Brigadier, but the wars end prevented it. The two things most important to a professional soldier's career, command and promotion, had been denied Marshall, either through unfortunate timing or because the talents he possessed were considered too precious to squander on the battlefield. Marshall's return was a time of triumph and frustration. He had learned the business of war in a tough school and he knew it as few others did, but there was small pleasure in the knowledge. Long after the noise and the shouting when this gay harbor scene had passed into memory and the world would once again take up arms, Marshall would be ready. But as the Leviathan docked in New York, he was still an obscure staff officer with a cinder in his eye. Following Pershing met a constant round of official appearances. These were the years when American defense policies affecting the future security of the nation were being decided. The post-war role of the army was debated by both military and political leaders. Pershing believed in a tight, hard, professional force backed by a large citizen army. Marshall eventually found an enthusiastic supporter. It was this kind of army which had brought victory out of Europe in 1918. As a member of Pershing's Washington staff, Marshall devoted much effort during the next four years toward a realization of the citizen army goal. 1924 brought duty with the 15th Infantry Regiment in Tinson, China. With the commanding officer of the 15th, Colonel Newell, Marshall posed for a rare picture in Mufti. It was his first actual troop assignment in almost ten years. The 15th Infantry was operating well enough when Marshall joined it as executive officer.  In the middle 20s, China was fragmented by civil war and revolution, and the private armies of Chinese warlords fought in all parts of the land for national advantage. The mission of the 15th Infantry was to help protect both American trading concessions and American lives. It was a tense, but quiet assignment for Marshall, and before he finished his tour, the 15th had acquired a reputation for smart appearance and snappy precision. It could outperform and outshine every other garrison regiment in Tinson. A distinguished faculty at the Fort Benning Infantry School, which included future generals Bradley, Stillwell, and Collins, was under Marshall's direction from 1927 to 1931. When he took over the school, one of the most important in the Army, he found much of the instruction had fallen behind the times. But this hard-driving man with the passion for facts was not satisfied to refight old wars. It was the present and the future which concerned him, and he revised the curriculum accordingly. During the 30s, the world caught fire, ignited by a handful of global arsonists who enjoyed their work. Germany threatened to even the score for her defeat in 1918. On the other side of the world, the Japanese were introducing their neighbors to their own brand of arson. China felt the brutal aggression directed by the Japanese warlords. The Japanese onslaught of China carried out the ambitions and aspirations of a nation bent on territorial conquest. For a while, many of us laughed at a comic opera character speaking from a Roman balcony. But his intended victims in Ethiopia did not laugh. They were a proud and fierce people determined to resist the Italian dictator's aggression. Benito Mussolini invaded the tiny African kingdom anyway, and another piece of earth caught fire. An appeal was made, but no one came forward to answer it. Mussolini demonstrated for his friends how easy it was. The day Germany invaded Poland, George Marshall, then a brigadier general, made the extraordinary jump from one to four stars to become the Army Chief of Staff. With Secretary of War Stimpson, the task of mobilization lay ahead. The resources of a mighty nation had to be tapped to produce the props for the great drama about to unfold. Marshall had waited in the wings for 20 years for the role he was about to play. The country's manpower resources, the great citizen army in which Marshall believed so deeply, had to be activated, trained, and equipped to fight if necessary. And with each passing month in 1940 and 41, it appeared increasingly probable that the United States would be drawn into the war. The army numbered less than 200,000 men when Marshall took over as Chief of Staff. It would swell to more than 8 million before the Axis defeat. The accumulated experience from the early days in the Philippines continued in the Muse Argon, from the staff worked with Pershing and the seasoning in China, from Fort Benning to the National Guard and the CCC during the Depression. The sum total was imaginatively applied by George Marshall, in directing the American Army during the war. It was as if every single year of his career in some way related to the monumental task he undertook. The American military buildup was just beginning to gain momentum when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. At an inspection of the Army's new airborne troops at Fort Bragg in 1942, Marshall gets a close-up view of the citizen soldier at work. Field soldiers never knew when the Chief of Staff might make an appearance such as this one at the Jungle Warfare Training Center in Hawaii. Marshall might do his thinking and planning in Washington, but it was from the field that he drew his facts. A gifted observer, the smallest detail did not escape him. Army subordinates were either proud or dismayed by Marshall's critical appraisal, depending upon the performance. Jungle training was a new experience for American troops, but it was clear from the beginning that in order to win the war in the Pacific, our soldiers had to beat the Japanese at their own game. In the forbidding gray of a November dawn in 1942, American naval vessels ghosted in toward the beaches of North Africa, delivering the first major Allied counter-attack since the outbreak of the war. Their objective? The German-Africa Corps in Tunisia. The enemy was led by Germany's ingenious field Marshal Erwin Rommel, the Desert Fox. His veterans already had been baptized by the battle-tuff and British Tommies. Desperately, with everything they had, the Germans fought to keep from being pushed into the sea. The Allied military advisors convened at Casablanca in January 1943. The North African campaign had become tough and bitter, but the achievement of a unified Allied command was part of the ultimate victory. Marshall had worked tirelessly to achieve a smooth-running command organization at the highest American level. He held the President's trust and regard, and was consulted on every critical decision affecting the conduct of the war. Marshall's diplomatic skill helped reconcile many opposing points of view with British leaders during the Casablanca Conference. From the North African meetings came the Allied decision to bomb Germany around clock. American B-17s helped carry the war to the German backyard. The decision to invade Sicily also was reached, and in July of 1943, Americans and British jumped off from Africa on the preliminary leg to the first assault on Fortress Europe, the Italian mainland. A strong partisan for the Women's Army Corps, as important to our mobilization, the Chief of Staff made it a point to be in Washington the day Colonel Obita Kulp hobby was sworn in as his new commander. By the time the Allied leaders convened at Cairo in December 1943, the Italian campaign was well underway, and the war against the Japanese demanded stepped-up operations. The future of the China-Burma-India theater and the problem of harnessing China's manpower had to be resolved. At Tehran, Marshall took part in planning joint strategy with the Russians. Soviet demands for an expanded second front were addressed to the United States. It was George Marshall who answered. When the Chief of Staff visited the Pacific Theater on his return from Tehran, our offensive was gaining speed. Island by island, we were moving in on Japan. At Goodenough Island in 1944, Marshall listened to a firsthand report on the successful operations in the Gilbert Islands and the planned invasion of the Marshalls. Marshall conferred with General Douglas MacArthur, theater commander, as the Allies were gearing for the big Pacific push which would carry them to the very doorstep of Japan.  The road to Rome was a long one, and for Marshall and his wife, one of extreme personal anxiety. As a tank commander under pattern, Marshall's stepson had been engaged in the heaviest fighting for weeks. When the Americans finally broke through the lines of a stubborn enemy, the young officer fought his last fight. For General Marshall, the war had turned into a personal tragedy. When the spring of 1944 brought the long-planned invasion of France, Marshall accompanied General Eisenhower and other high-ranking officers ashore for an inspection of the American positions on the Normandy beachhead. Fifteen stars till this corporal's jeep was Admiral King and Generals Marshall, Bradley and Eisenhower, ride out to survey the battle damage. On this trip, Marshall takes a few moments to visit an old friend, the colorful ex-Calvaryman Patton, whose fast-moving armored columns had many times torn great holes in the German defenses. Marshall considered Patton one of the ablest field commanders in the Army, and the Chief of Staff had personally ordered the Mercurial General to his original combat assignment in North Africa. The subsequent performance of the troops under Patton's command confirmed General Marshall's wise choice. Allied planners met again in 1944, this time at Quebec. A decision was reached to move the invasion of the Philippines three months ahead of schedule. Marshall returned from Quebec to fly immediately to Paris with Secretary of State James Burns for another meeting with General Eisenhower. The Chief of Staff was involved with the vast and complicated problem of our global supply lines, and he chose to inspect the divisions poised for the final thrust into Germany. A minor slack in the line of supply at this moment could cause a major military disaster, and Marshall knew all these facts at both ends of the line. The price of victory was far too high to risk delay. The trip to Europe provided Marshall with another opportunity, a chance to talk with the troops. He spoke informally to American soldiers who had faced the toughest tests in history and triumph. Marshall inspected their positions within range of the enemy, his last close look before the Axis collapsed. World War II ended with the final capitulation of Japan. When President Truman presented Marshall with the Distinguished Service Medal in 1945, he said that although millions gave America extraordinary service, Marshall gave it victory. 1945 also saw Marshall dispatch to China as the President's special representative to negotiate a truce between Chiang Kai-shek and the Communists. General Eisenhower, then Chief of Staff, visited his former boss during the negotiations. This was the first time Marshall officially functioned as a diplomat, but the role was not unfamiliar. Although the Army had been his profession, his country's interest had always been his career. Marshall received the oath of office as Secretary of State from Chief Justice Vincent early in 1947. The President enthusiastically endorsed the former Chief of Staff at a critical time in history. It was fairly said that Mr. Truman selected him not because of his experience, but because he was Marshall. There's nothing that I can say at this time regarding matters that pertain to my position in the State Department, but I assume the duties were the feeling of great responsibility and a very earnest desire to carry out the foreign policy of this government in the manner that has been so splendidly exemplified by my predecessor, Mr. Burns, my old friend. The new Secretary brought imagination and a dignified intensity to his job, which was equal to the World Challenge. In March 1947, Marshall headed a delegation to Moscow whose mission was the peace agreement on Germany and Austria. The opportunity to observe the Russian bear in his native environment was valuable in view of increasing Soviet hostility. Russia already loomed as the largest question mark in America's future. The desperate economic plight of Europe drew Marshall's whole attention upon his return, and his recommendations were presented to the Congress. Europe is still emerging from the devastation and dislocation of the most destructive war in history. Within its own resources, Europe cannot achieve, within a reasonable time, economic stability. The solution would be much easier, of course, if all the nations of Europe were cooperating, but they are not. Far from cooperating, the Soviet Union and the Communist Party have proclaimed their determined opposition to a plan for European economic recovery. Economic distress is to be employed to further political aims. There are many who accept the picture that I have just drawn, but who raise a further question. Why must the United States carry so great a load in helping Europe? The answer is simple. The United States is the only country in the world today which has the economic power and productivity to furnish the needed assistance. The 6th and 8th billion proposed for the first 15 months is less than a single month's charge of the war. To be quite clear, this unprecedented endeavor of the New World to help the old is neither sure nor easy. It is the calculated risk. It is the difficult program. And you know far better than I do the political difficulties involved in this program. But there's no doubt whatever in my mind that if we decide to do this thing, we can do it successfully. The great rebel heaps left by the war were soon diminished by an American investment in international friendship and goodwill, which also proved to be an effective economic weapon against spreading communism. The Marshall Plan. Offered on a self-help basis, Marshall Plan aid enabled many war-ravaged countries to regain their first foothold on a stable peacetime economy. Trade and production were stimulated, and communist plans which were dependent upon poverty and despair for their success were thwarted in many parts of the world. George Marshall resigned as Secretary of State in January 1949, intending to relax for the first time in almost 50 years. But the National Red Cross called upon him for one further task in the public interest when it asked him to serve as its head. Meeting with Bolio Foundation Chief Basil O'Connor at the White House, Marshall outlined his plans for this vast mercy organization. Less than one year later, the President persuaded him to return to the government as Secretary of Defense. He flew to Korea where he met with General Ridgway and other UN leaders. The man with the passion for facts was gathering them firsthand. This was a different American army than Marshall had known, and a different kind of war. The citizen soldier did the fighting in Korea, but this time under a UN banner and for a limited objective. In Washington, Marshall assumed the critical responsibility for all of the men and material necessary for victory in Korea. The peculiar circumstances of the conflict called for the existence of large American forces without total mobilization in the United States. Once more, George Marshall, the statesman, distinguished himself. Relaxation was rare for the busy cabinet member, but to the delight of a pretty queen, he did manage to officiate at the Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival in 1951. On the 50th anniversary of his graduation, VMI paid tribute to General Marshall with a day named in his honor. Many of his old classmates came to Lexington to applaud the school's most distinguished graduates and recall their years as members of the cadet corps. After a howitzer salute to the soldier statesman, the entire body of cadet stood at attention while Marshall was awarded Virginia's distinguished service medal by Governor John Battle. Then, the man whose life represents the highest ideals of the cadet corps inspected the ranks of men who may be tomorrow's leaders. George Catlett Marshall resigned from the Defense Department and settled in Leesburg, Virginia in 1951. His public service spanned a critical half-century for our country, placing him on the ranks of great American patriots.

e things more transparent and but but also at the same time to to push for better access to data. And at the moment, we are focusing, you know, for organizational reasons on information intermediaries on platforms like Facebook and YouTube and Twitter and so on. But of course, there's a tremendous importance in platforms like Uber and Amazon and Airbnb and other, you know, click working organizations or platforms because then you have all the issues of, for example, the labor laws, which is also something that we are addressing. And I'll give you this as an example because I think, you know, I could try to describe in broad strokes what is going on in the US for example but it doesn't, you know, it, I think it doesn't really make sense if you try to break it down on the on a concrete case. So what the European Union suggested in in the white paper on artificial intelligence is the so-called risk based approach to addressing problematic implications or implementations of artificial intelligence based systems. So they are thinking about a structure or criteria to define what could be a risky system. And what is not a risky system and then try to find out how to address this now first of all, we think it is problematic. I mean, we don't have an answer in the sense of there's a better approach to this. The risk based approach of course is somehow risky in the sense that it says risky itself in the sense that it could fail to address some systems that are just not seen to pose a certain risk but then when they're implemented they still do because we have discussed today with a lot of cases and examples of how people fail to see where the risk actually is. But leaving this aside, you know, you also need to focus on what is there and what you can make use of. The white paper then proposes that was states rather that all systems that are used in connection with workers and employment are deemed high risk anyways, you know, so recruiting automated HR and so on and so forth. Now, what we're trying is to use this as an opportunity and say, well, if that's the case, and the paper already defines that they need to be increased transparency requirements there. Then let's take them by their word and say, if you've already proposed this then what we need as the next thing, for example, is more transparency about algorithmic systems that deal with workers in the entire EU. Now, is that going to be successful, we have no clue but the opportunity here is that right now, labor law in the European Union is not very well harmonized, you know, everyone is doing their own thing. So when we are looking for opportunities for horizontal legislation here that could increase our knowledge and therefore also our agency when it comes to the systems as an opportunity here. Now, as I said, you know, in the end, will be successful I have no idea. But but this is what we are trying to do, because at the moment we are not doing strategically to get which I'd love to do, but there hasn't just been an opportunity. We are not focused on this as an organization we need to collaborate with others on this, and there also needs to be funding but we are looking at these legislative processes and there we are trying to identify where where there's an opportunity to increase the level of transparency. And then hopefully, later steps to identify the, let's say, substantive problems and also address them so of course transparency is never a means in itself, it's always only be, it can always only be a basis for further action. I hope this at least partly answers the question. Perfect. Thank you. And I think I think I personally and everyone here should thank David for getting together this really excellent panel. I mean, because I think every panelist has like similar experiences but also I mean ones that are different based on context and the role that you all play and it's been really fascinating for me and I'm sure everyone is there to observe and learn from this. It's definitely been one of the most interesting sort of zoom webinars have been a part of. So I know that we are coming to the end and Vinda great that you're back I know that you have to leave soon also a little bit over time so they can ask everyone to just stay for maybe five minutes more if that's fine to answer some quick audience questions if that's fine with everyone. So Vinda actually I think this, there's one question that I think is, I think you're perfectly suited to answer is which is from the live stream actually even conducting the YouTube live stream so the question is, I conducted auto ethnographic research working as a food delivery worker to closely understand data use and algorithmic control within gig work platforms. What rights and protection do workers and researchers like me have in revealing specificities of algorithms seeking accountability from these systems they work under. So it appears that there was some ethnographic research conducted and it's very interesting research to actually work I suppose as a as a food delivery worker what the question is what rights and protections to workers and researchers have in this context I think Vinda if you can answer this and be that great and anyone else can chip in as well. Yeah, I actually think right now at least our framework our legal framework is not really designed to actually deal with any of these things so I think the problem is there's no real, you know governing law you obviously have the Information Technology Act which is we don't have a national data protection legislation. We obviously only have the Information Technology Act which doesn't apply to governments or to independent research, you know NGOs or research organizations so that's I mean it only applies to corporate so I think that's one issue in terms of where you would fall under. I think some of it would also be governed by the terms of service or the privacy policies of those platforms and what they talk about I just think this is I mean it's a great question because I think no one is even thinking along those lines right now in India I mean it just shows that we have this absolute bare minimal legal framework. So actually I think at this stage it would really depend also on the particular algorithms and kind of what those terms of service are and how you know those companies may kind of react. Yeah, unfortunately I don't think there's a clear answer to the question. Thanks, thanks so much Vinda, I know that I mean, I think Matias just said that he needs to leave as well. So there is actually one more question. Unfortunately, I think because we've been taking question in the chat might not get time to actually interact with the audience but there is one more question for everyone and before people leave if they can answer this quickly. I think this is a I mean, Setu is asking about Siri and asking about the example of how this process propagated inequalities. The question he's asking is can someone explain a little bit more about how automated decision making directly leads to greater economic inequality so whether we use the example of Siri or any other algorithmic process. Does anyone want to take this question? Well, one of the issues is the echo chamber effect. So the data that's being used to feed systems might contain biases by itself. And then it reinforces. I think Corey has also mentioned it right in her a levels case, the algorithm reinforces the already existing biases. I think that sums up and then of course for Setu as well there's a lot of work that's been done, a lot of excellent research that's been done on this of course in the Indian context please look at Bidushi's work who was there in the previous panel and then of course in other context there's work by Virginia Eubanks who don't use it in a book called Automating Equality which I think is useful in that regard. I think we have time for one more maybe quick question from the audience. Mattias wants you to say something. Oh, sorry, I missed that, sorry. Sorry, if there's another question, you know, I can. No, that isn't actually that isn't so we can just end on this. Thanks. Okay, so so first of all, I'm really sorry I need to leave on time so I only have two more minutes, but one attempt as an answer here as well is if we take into view the more broader implications of this that you know these things that we're talking about are always social technological systems and not technologies just in itself you know that are not connected to the wider context and when trying to answer that question about economics and economic situation is also why are they used for these purposes. Why are they always used for example to detect welfare fraud or to, you know, to monitor people who are receiving transfer payments, and so on and so forth why are they not used for other purposes. And of course what always comes to mind is tax abuse or taxation and things like this, you know, they, then they, it doesn't necessarily mean that they are used in the right way, you know, they also always needs to be controlled over that. But in the broader picture, you know, there is a clear indication that they are always first of all experimented with on, let's say, vulnerable or marginalized communities. There is little evidence that they are used to address other problems that we face in society that it could be used for as well. In the court, Siri court hearing I asked the court, why is Siri only used in neighborhoods with poorer people, because if you go to the rich neighborhood you might find much more money. In the state, please answer that question. No, they really couldn't. And then I thought the court was quite, you know, convinced. Wonderful. So any final thoughts on this question or otherwise from any of the panelists, otherwise I'll hand it back to the bridge for closing thoughts anyone. Sorry, we, I think the conversation was so exciting. We didn't have time for the audience Q&A, but I really enjoyed myself. So thank you to all the panelists for sharing our thoughts. As I said, one of the most fascinating panels of a quick list. So that was great. If there are no further thoughts then. And I just say one super quick thing. Small organization, but I really I couldn't be happier that you've done this because I think that international comparing of notes and actually kind of collaborating on projects like I already do Anton, but I don't know all of you. And I would just encourage people who are working on anything like platform work for justice or algorithmic accountability kind of drop us a line, because we're really interested in kind of teaming up and building a proper kind of international So thank you. Thank you so much. Sorry, I hope I've not missed anyone else. Anyone else. I mean, I have a lot to say about that but I think that we're running out of time and just, you know, I just wanted to kind of close on that note and just express my gratitude for all of you to taking time off and contributing to this. So meaningfully, I definitely think that, you know, building on what Corey said that there is both a space for and an absolutely critical need to have built international solidarity on these issues. I mean, one of the reasons that I also did some of this research was to indicate that technology that's being built in very different contexts is kind of being imported into the systems that we see and use in India in public agencies in India. And, you know, that we need a diversity of actors and a diversity of voices to make these meaningful changes we need to get this perspective perspective from different places out to the standardization committees to do the committees or the technologists who are designing this to the lawmakers in other parts of the world who are designing for this I mean one example is just how influential GDPR has been to, you know, developing data protection law around the world. And I think that that's one really interesting way in which I think, you know, cross-border collaboration and solidarity can also kind of help people across the world. And yeah, with that note, you know, I'm so grateful that you could join and also so thankful for the great work that you've been doing in this issue. I really hope that, you know, we can keep pushing for this keep keep kind of making this network stronger kind of educating people lawmakers bureaucrats people on the ground, and other lawyers to kind of engage with this more meaningfully. And yeah, with that. Thank you, and have a good day. Bye. Thank you everyone for joining again and if you have any questions about my project. Please feel free to drop me a line. My information is on the project website. I'll drop the link here again. And do have a click through and see, you know, I'm happy to respond to any comments critiques additions to this. And yeah, I'm happy new year. And thanks. Thank you so much. Your moderation was fantastic. Yeah, thanks. Thanks, everyone. Thanks. I just want to stay back to say thanks. Yeah. Thanks to has geek as well. Thanks for organizing this and providing all the support. And I mentioned this in the chat, but my colleague Pranav who's been working with us. So yeah, thanks. Thank you.

We have four through it. There's seven We have four of them that should make the map and we should be able to stamp that. Okay Okay, you did you did your due diligence and you collected the signatures The rules are 50 plus one for the petition to pass What this means matty parker When a neighborhood association draws a map with 20 homes inside the map The neighborhood association would need 11 homes to sign the petition for the petition to pass That is what 50 plus one means And that is what the drawn heights neighborhood association did Why is the drawn heights neighborhood association map not on the city database?  That's okay. Okay. That's the city manager. Mr. Cook. He's turned his back on this question We had a one hour meeting gave him everything and he was not responding No response I guess in short because say we need to go to the city manager then not one of those in that area Back to the mayor actually it's in short, right because you don't directly doesn't go back to the mayor In a city manager for my government. Well, it goes to the mayor because the mayor instructs the manager What the manager won't do his job unless the mayor tells him to Okay See we meet the rules for this map to be drawn For the jaunty one. I meant for the drawn house neighborhood association But michelle goop the director is not doing her job And I got this letter from the lawyer saying not to talk to michelle. Don't question her So what happens when I come down here to they wouldn't play all this video part of us cut out The part was telling the mayor that the city employee is not doing her job to tell the manager to make her do her job Now michelle goofs not responsible.

Willoughby Call the next speaker Our next speaker will be a remote speaker and that will be vera locket And she's a call Correct Miss locket. Hello Yes, this is vera locket speaking And my address is one one two one two one wilson street crowded texas seven six zero three six Your time is running Good evening mayor and city council. I come to you Um today to bring attention to agreed injustice that has occurred within our community I have To shed light on the corrupt practices of saving hope rescue An organization that has not only stolen my beloved dogs, but has also subject me To ongoing harassment and false acts accusations Uh, my husband is retired military and they have also done this to a retired military Veterans that was homeless And for 78 days I endured the anguish of not knowing the whereabouts of my furry companions And the director lauren anton knew they that my dogs had an owner And I was looking for them and she kept them And I received a text from the director lauren anton threatening to have the police called on me If I were to show up to any of her properties during this time Saving hope rescue not only refused to return my dogs, but also went as far as threatening me with legal action unfortunately, they took one of my dogs and gave her to a Uh shelter in washington Um, she was transported to washington and was adopted to another family And only after I had to get an attorney did lauren anton make arrangements for me to get my other dog back And after I got the other dog back then her staff accused me of bribery And extortion Because they had because they were made to give the dog back and lauren anton has um Done this to many people So I do hope that um Something can or will be done to stop Saving hope rescue from doing this to any other family or anybody else and and uh, I thank you for your time And listen to me in this match Thank you Call the next speaker Next speaker is daniel hais Good evening. My name is dan hais and I live in district 11 tonight. I wanted to talk about gateway park Gateway park is fort worth central park by that I mean gateway is the most centrally located park in the city And like new york central park. It's roughly 800 acres in size But there are the comparisons and Gateway is viewed by many as an east side park Or one of nearly 300 parks the city is responsible for but certainly not in the same way Is new york central park Is viewed by new yorkers That's been reflected in the funding decisions made regarding gateway park over the years Perhaps the best evidence is that at almost 50 years old only half of the park is open to the public Over the years there's been a lot of aspirational talk about gateway park becoming a great park Sometimes comparing it to central park, but the talk always falls short of the reality The master plan you will vote on in may is the sixth master plan for this park The plans call for 140 million dollars in improvements Which is more than twice what has been spent on the park since it was created How are we going to get there? A growing group of us believe there needs to be a paradigm shift and how this park is viewed funded and programmed This park isn't just big. It's really big It's larger than 30 state parks And sorted by size 176 of four worst parks would fit inside gateway park There's no reason that should not be thought of as one of the top draws in the city As new york central park is There's no reason that after the stockyards the zoo The botany gardens sundance square in the cultural district that this park shouldn't be found on a list of most visited attractions in the city That might sound laughable But there were 600 000 visits to gateway park in 2023 according to the park and rec folks It wasn't that many years ago that a number like that would equal the annual attendance for the zoo or the stockyards And get this that's the same number of visits the botany gardens saw last year I know that the city is capable of big things and we always find money for the things that are important I hope as plans are made for the 2026 bond election the gateway configure prominently in that Effort, I hope the city will work on finding ways to market the park better to the public I hope we can find someone who can properly Develop the frontage along Brain beach street and we would love to brainstorm these ideas with you Thank you. Thank you. Mr. Hayes call the next speaker Next speaker is Angela block a wit Hi, my name is Angie block wits, and I'm the president of the jmsl or jennings may st Louis neighborhood association located off the hemp hill corridor Over spring break a multi tent homeless camp set up in our neighborhood park a park that we have been actively working to revitalize for our new Place structure that arrives this year as part of the city's park project We reported on my fort worth app and on march 13th We put out a request through social media for neighbors to report and to email a request for assistance from co-compliance And our district 11 councilwoman Jeanette Martinez that same day her team reached out via email And the next day councilwoman Martinez called us to let us know she had requested priority attention be given to this situation Within three business days the camp had been offered resources by the city and left the park Allowing the space to be usable again by the neighborhood We want to give our sincere appreciation and thanks to councilwoman Martinez for the timely manner in which this hand was handled And we look forward to continuing working with you on the completion of our park project. Thanks Thank you Our next speaker will be george child My name is george running childs I live in four words I'm here to say that I cannot agree with the following public comment made on march 5th at 27 minutes 20 seconds quote We can come together and as we come together as unity the strength and unity unquote By this I certainly do not mean that these words have fallen on deaf ears by me Which I believe would imply rejection out of hand with no consideration of their meaning To the contrary my reaction is based on what I believe they mean to the speaker In the context of fourth municipal affairs in light of previous statements by the speaker These are first two city council quote. It doesn't take any character to be negative Unquote public comment may 17th 2022 at 48 minutes 40 seconds my comment isn't saying something is wrong the very epitome of negativity So john lewis and rosa parks had no character Second to city council in reference to quote those who complain You're not obligated to listen to any of them. Unquote public comment march 7th 2023 at 13 minutes 20 seconds to 13 minutes 40 seconds My comment is what's this about petition for redress agreements is clause of the first amendment Third about city council quote you gain the right to be heard. Unquote victory update august 18th 2020 at 21 minutes 37 seconds My comment is my right to be heard was gained on december 15th 1791 Fourth the reaction of some in this room to miss jeffson being killed was described as quote Every week 40 to 60 people would come Angry people people full of hate and anger and retribution would come out and spew all of that on the city council And this would take a couple of hours each week. Unquote youtube changing your city member training films You view the full pay list And then select Number six zero minutes at four seconds My comment is such more is just so is so much more convenient To apply terms that are clearly value loaded and describing impassioned expressions Of concern than to consider why that concern came to be Fifth the speaker's characterized police going on duty as quote entering the battlefield Unquote again victory update august 18th 2020 This time at 30 27 minutes Oh four seconds my comment is I do not believe that the neighborhoods of fort worth are the place to seek action and adventure In conclusion, I am convinced that the foregoing The foregone gives ample warning as to what form the strength the speaker promises would take and what and who that strength would be directed against Next speaker will be another remote speaker david martinez Mr. Martinez Oh Yes, go ahead. Yes. Yes three minutes. Uh, yes Um, I do apologize for not being present there. I I started to take so anyways Uh, when I went out of town and I ran into a guy who used to be a HOA president Um, and I learned a lot of stuff from them. Uh, we're dealing with the uh homeless With the panhandlers on the corner on ight, uh, ight 35 and seminary One of the things that they did was a broad technique that was used in El Paso was by Putting stones in the median area Where we already have it. We're supposed to be no panhandling there and so I think that we could go move forward right there on on the corner of seminary 935 and put stones there that that would work out If uh, if I need to get done myself, I if the city allows me to do it. I could do it myself anyways, uh, also there are lots of ideas that I was uh considering talking to them about and, uh, I'll talk about those later But one of the things I want to bring up to attention is the state of Texas moving forward Was rezoning the whole state where you're allowed to put up structures in your backyard in random out According to how you feel to Regardless of what we have zoning on Fort Worth city and our neighborhoods in district 8 9 11 I'm very concerned with that also of my property over there in district 3 um, I think that would be uh lower the property values My properties and also it will also cause lots of problems. So I would like for the city to start, uh, looking at Uh, dealing with that problem when it comes up or actually before it comes up actually And thank you for your time. Thank you. God bless All right Thank you Our next speaker is jan buck And miss buck, I believe you have a group that Has given you your name if they could if they could stand just so we could make sure you have your 10 people Thank you That's more than 10 Yeah, we had more than we planned We're serious Good evening, my name is jane buck and I live in district 11 And I'm here tonight because I am the current moderator for the riverside alliance And so I'm speaking on behalf of the group and several other residents that have come tonight to just show support We do have some neighborhood presidents. Uh, carlos canisaris is here from bonnie bray Belinda norris was going to be here, but apparently couldn't make it had some kind of emergency We have phyllis allen from united riverside rick herring I know you're familiar with with carter riverside And then katie oan is actually the vice president from oakhurst neighborhood association standing in for kathryn omark hail So we're here tonight to request that a new or significantly renovated riverside Community center be included in the 2026 bond We know we're very early in the process and are aware that there's actually already been some discussion about this issue And fortunately council person martinas is supportive But uh, we just wanted to let you all know that riverside residents are very much in support as well Many of the other older neighborhoods in fortwood have already received new community centers And we think it's time for riverside to get to move into the 21st century too If you'll look at some of the pictures. Oh, you've got them all up there Okay Well, so that's the new one And so if we could move that top corner one off and let's see maybe put in the tiny bathroom So just to give it the that front the brick that is our current community center And to the left of that is our very inviting lobby Um, then we have that is a little too stall bathroom that supposedly serves the basketball crew So that and then there's the kitchen in our tiny workout room But riverside community center is one of the oldest in Fort Worth and was opened in 1955 and not much has changed In the 1980s the entrance was moved to face the parking lot Apparently it was on the opposite side of the building But they moved it around so people didn't have to walk quite so far and the wooden floor was redone several years ago However, the floor already has water damage And the holes for the volleyball poles were improperly placed on one of the courts So it's not even usable the net that doesn't fit and so The workout facilities are extremely small. In fact, I they're not much bigger than my kitchen And so there's really only about room for one person to work out if you walk I go there to work out and if somebody else is in there you really you feel like you're intruding in their personal space and And it's just awkward So nobody lasts very long in there if there's somebody else there and there's really no way that you can be in the area for weight We also there are some outdoor tennis courts and sand volleyball courts that are very much in need of repair and a larger Playground with a fence for security would likely attract many more families Riverside has an extremely popular boxing club that about 75 kids and adults participate in And they're confined to a fairly small space Although at times use the other half of the gym that cannot be used for volleyball They do get some of that We have several nights where volleyball is going on and plenty of people show up to use both courts But obviously we're limited to just to one because of the flaw in the floor Riverside summer camp used to be very popular In fact, I was told it was one of the most intended But interest has decreased as other updated centers are able to offer more programs And more things for the kids. So, you know, we with I've no doubt They're with more space for activities and some amenities that there would be a lot more going on at the center There are a good number of community meetings held at the Riverside community center And there is a need for some more meeting rooms as well as a larger one Also, the avi equipment is very unreliable Councilwoman Martinez is nodding her head. I think even city manager Cook has been there and as well as other speakers and You know trying to lead a meeting with the outdated and unpredictable av equipment is just kind of a challenge You really need to be ready with a plan B Riverside community has great staff with longtime employee Paula Connor leading the way and from their perspective I like I do go there. I frequent that and we have talked with them And of course they're communicating with the park and rec department But we'll just add that they really want to see a larger updated kitchen Expanded storage improved computer lab a labeled walking trail around the park updated planning as well as the items already mentioned So just in closing both staff and residents would like to see some kind of kid friendly water feature Riverside previously had a pool that was heavily used by residents But was closed when Fort Worth closed most of the city pools The community center since in the middle of a fabulous park with plenty of space for a larger facility Some kind of water feature an expanded playground and other amenities We really believe the use of the community center and surrounding park would increase significantly with some improved facilities and increased security measures So we really appreciate you considering that for the 2026 bond Thank you, and thank you for your proactive stance and budget preparation Please call the next speaker Our next speaker will be Jim DeLong Good evening. I'm Jim DeLong and I'm here again with my red ball And the first time I came here. I said if I taught my youngest son colors And I said this is green and I had a green ball called it red He could pass a lie detector test That this is a green ball And this is indicative of the many ideologies that we have around the world today Some call this purple yellow Red green brown black many different colors And the point I'm trying to make is My son Had a perception of reality When he called this green even though it's red But he would go to the mat that it's green And we have that going around in our country in our world Where people have ideologies and they will go to the mat for it because they believe it And what's happened over the over the years and it's really oh throughout history You have factions saying This is one color and this is another color and because you don't believe That is the color I think it is Then I need to do something about you so that you would believe That the color I think it is it is Maybe the color they think it is isn't even really the true color that it is because they have a perception of reality and the point is When you're in that situation The gap between those ideologies is too wide How do you come together on something like that? Well, and I'm solution-minded. I'm always thinking how can we bring people together? Can we differ of opinion? Sure we can But that doesn't mean we exclude people And why no in some cases Have genocide against a certain people What can we do what can we find in common? And I've used this example many times Maybe you like ice cream And I like ice cream that can seem like something extremely trivial But what does it do it connects us together? And if we can start on issues that might seem trivial That connects us together Maybe we can start building coalitions Instead of building walls and and increased a vision because we're on a time in our in the world today Where there is increased a vision more than any time i've seen in my life And That doesn't do anybody Any major good? I think thank you chin. Please call the next speaker Our next speaker is Randolph Shahid Good evening mayor city council I don't know who the mayor is And the reason why I don't vote The reason why I can't vote I'm an ex-offender Still on parole Being on parole for 41 calendar years And want to vote so that I'll have representation No taxation without representation Is just something that I learned in elementary school And being an ex-offender And wanting to make a difference By doing what ex-offenders don't normally do And that is go against crime Get your community cleaned up How people put hits out on you because you're getting rid of drugs in your own community with no help Just trying to be a good ex-offender I live in Fort Worth, Texas and I know that is It's good white people here In Fort Worth, Texas I'm looking for white folks That care about Fort Worth, Texas And that can look and see what an ex-offender is doing In his lives that he's saving in Fort Worth, Texas And help me along with Jules I'm a person that Want to risk my life To save lives and to prove that it works By being and doing what I've been doing All I want to do is make sure that White folks Help me Because the black church the black community They won't help me They'll run away from me They won't let me speak They don't ask questions about What is it that you can do to teach somebody how not to go to prison? That's why I'm so involved now with the organization That's It's a it's woman led And it's about making sure that the changes that are supposed to occur In the community can occur in the community by coming together and be under one principle And that principle is truth That principle is God And what we want to do is get white people To help a black person To help the black community By helping the whole community Be more successful. Thank you so much. Please call the next speaker. Thank you so much The next speaker is JD Jimerson Good afternoon. Good evening My name is JD Jimerson, and I'm going to speak to everyone on the council And this is about maybe the fifth or sixth time I've addressed the same issue And I can appreciate some of the proceeding people but my concern is this We've got uh ordinance Ordinance number 201 9 1 dash 0 5 2012 that governs loud noises and this This just Recklessness in the neighborhoods and throughout the city There's been going on for three years and I've been before the city council on more than three times I want to ask that you all will look at that audience and see what it says. It says if it disturbs anybody any person There's been misinformation provided throughout the neighborhood If a police officer comes to a house and says they have an ordinance so that makes it legal Most of my neighbors are afraid to say anything But that's not me. I don't know any better I'm I want to apologize for myself Because I'm going to say something may not change anything, but I'm making a matter of fact We need some changes because I'm starting staying up to three o'clock and four o'clock on fridays and Saturday night So any night proceeding a holiday Because of loud music coming from 1616 northwest 35th, which is a rodeo arena I read the guidelines our neighborhood president on different boards for the city So don't tell me who it is and don't think I can't verify. I can read a little bit So I read the ordinance. I'm gonna ask you all to look at it and whoever needs to address the situation Please address that because I don't feel good about it My neighbors are afraid to say anything because they say well if the policeman says it's it's it's a it's a permit That's been provided then it's legal Permits give you authorization to do different things But the guidelines and procedures and rills along with any permit that you receive that tells you how that's supposed to be conducted Things not being conducted as they should I've talked to several officers two or three have come to my house after after making complaints at two o'clock in the morning After 12 and and well, tell me. Well, we don't know what time the The permit expires I mean Tell me something else. I know about it But let me I hope that you all got my point because I could stay here for another 15 minutes, but I won't Please look into that ordinance and then the fact a way to resolve the issue where they can't have rodeo music going Mr. Jimison I want you to get to know Valerie Washington Val raise your hand Miss Washington and mr. William Johnson who is not here this evening or the two assistant city managers Who are dealing with that issue? Please get her card. We talked about it today and work is underway Thank you so much.

You're done We're sitting at Fort Worth. You're not done last year The tourism took in three point one billion dollars Great city It was a historic event erin deans arrest and conviction Was a historic event Zions settlement was a historic event. I want to get my life back and I can't get my life back until you're done Everybody has probably gone about their merry way, but I have not gone about my merry way because I haven't Because you haven't finished I'd appreciate it if you finish it I know the legalities take time but four years in five months and 21 days Brianna Taylor's family was settled and they didn't even have a trial. Nobody was convicted George Floyd's family was settled before the trial even started Question marks in my head Let's get that done My friend Manuel Mata, a citizen of Fort Worth, Texas arrested over 10 times for doing things that he was constitutionally allowed to do 10 times We're at one time He lost the case Even though he should have won that case because he didn't do anything wrong In five days Manuel turns himself in for that incident And it saddens me that He has to do that And I know some will say well, mr. James, that's in the court system You know that he was found guilty Well before he got to the court system There was a police department That could have handled that situation Fort Worth is a great city 3.1 billion dollars tells you that you have a great city But be as great a city to everyone Not just your tourists And as far as the city being a tale of two cities And glasses being half full or not full It's a tale of three cities and some of us don't even have a glass.

I spoke to you in january About my husband's cousin who was wrongfully attacked in the west bank And he witnessed his friend get shot by an israeli soldier In january over 23,000 palestinians had been killed by israel 59,000 had been wounded As of march 30th 31,000 have been killed 72,000 wounded 1.2 million Are now homeless I want to go over some news that i've been trying to wrap my head around over the past few months And some questions that I can't truly find an answer to In january thousands of israelis attended a convention in jerusalem to discuss illegal settlements in the west bank and in gaza The national security minister of israel was in attendance This event did not just happen in jerusalem. It also happened here in the u.s. And in canada I've been wondering if this whole mess is about hamas Then why are we discussing building illegal settlements in gaza? And the west bank. Why are we discussing the displacement of thousands of palestinians? Who have been there for thousands of years? If this is about hamas, then why did they kill six world central kitchen workers this week? If this is about mass, then why did they block baby formula from entering gaza? I didn't know that baby formula was used to make weapons if it is Please let me know after the meeting because i've been a wreck these past few months So if any one of you have answered to my questions, please let me know I've heard people say that this issue is so complicated. They don't want to speak about it They don't want to educate themselves ask questions take a stance. It's so complicated And it is it is complicated when you believe that violent occupation is morally sound It is complicated if you believe that the extermination of an entire people is morally sound It is complicated if you believe like israeli's believe that palestinians are and i quote human animals and beasts I certainly do not believe this And if you believe this and i'm not sure that i want any of you to represent me Thank you Thank you Please call the next speaker our next speaker is our salon jeffrey so as a recap of our last session By not making a statement about a permanent ceasefire We have normalized and made tolerable the following genocide because you know War is terrible. There's nothing you can do about it Domicide because if the survivors have a home to go back to you know, if they don't have a home to go back to They don't have to be there Collective punishment because they are all human animals and that's the way they'll have to learn Memoricide because if we destroy all their educational religious and cultural sites Then they never existed. So hey, there's no genocide that occurred Uh dehumanization Council members cannot even talk to us about a symbolic ceasefire resolution Because it will upset their own willful ignorance It is now day 178 of the live streaming of the genocide. So let's talk about the consequences of our inactions thus far Weaponized starvation is an actual term Uh, I warned you all ahead of time Hey flower massacre Was uh an issue now. There are multiple flower mass upper flower massacres Uh over 500 dead minimum People are now dying from humanitarian aid drops They're either crushed or they are around At least 30 that we know of so far We now have the world central kitchen aid workers that were assassinated For what so that way We can have we can ensure catastrophic famine continues Aid organizations are now refusing to deliver aid All right, let's talk about the el shifa massacre.  We have reports of Mothers being raped in front of their families children's being executed on the street And medical workers are now being handed regular clothes because if they go out in their scrubs, they are targeted and assassinated Okay Depth toll for that is close to a thousand Disregard for american lives Another american citizen has been killed And now Because of the fragrant violation of international treaties Our friends are asking us now to be involved in further wars Friends don't let friends drink and drive Make a statement Thank you Our next speaker is asiah jeffrey Council members, I stand before you with a question and my question to you is this What do you lose by sponsoring a ceasefire resolution? What are you afraid will happen if you pass it? Because clearly you are afraid of something if i'm still here asking for it after these many months I mean, I can tell you what you lose if you don't sponsor a ceasefire resolution You lose our respect and our votes I know I talk a big game for a kid who can't even vote yet, but let's make this clear My generation will not forget if in one or two terms you're still somehow in politics My generation will not forget At these times We will not be distracted by ploycing campaigns that display you as men and women of the people No, me and my people will remember you as the people who ignored a child as she stepped and pleaded on behalf of thousand other of other children I've said this before and I'll say it again. It is not too late to adopt and pass a ceasefire resolution You can be the first in dfw to pass the ceasefire resolution But no that the door is closing and if you don't by the time it does We will never forget and you will forever be on the wrong side of history. Thank you Thank you and that being the last speaker this meeting is adjourned. Thank you for coming


Hello, my name is John Thompson. I am the founder of spring framework guru in this little course here We are going to show you some pretty interesting stuff around building images for spring boot So we want to be able to build these Docker container images With our spring boot application. So I'm going to show you a number of steps we'll start off with the very basics taking a Docker build file and getting our spring boot deployable jar Into that image and then running it and then we'll progress and start showing you some of the build tools But first we need to go through and make sure that your environment is properly set up And then we'll get into actually working with the build file


In an uncharted section of the jungles of south-central Africa, Tarzan and Darno come upon Major Burton Ashley, Jeanette Burton, Dr. Wong Tai and Terence O'Rourke. The four whites are lost and near exhaustion.  In proceeding downstream, the entire party is overpowered and captured by a large band of strange yellow-skinned giants. Tarzan and Darno manage to free themselves from their bonds and escape, presumably leaving the others to their fate. Angered at the escape of two of their captives, the savages drag O'Rourke bound hand and foot to the edge of the river and are about to throw him to the crocodiles. Oh, it's awful! Those fiendish fruits! Don't watch it, Jeanette! Ashley, Jeanette, look in that tall tree at the edge of the river. Where? But what is it? No, no, no, high up in the branches. I, John, Tarzan! In a great tree that leans far out over the river, Tarzan, in full view of the little group, stands poised on a huge limb high above the water. The eight-man watches the scene below him with alert eyes. Bound and helpless, O'Rourke is lifted from the ground by two of the great yellow men and tossed far out into the swift flowing stream toward the approaching crocodiles. With a despairing shriek, the Irishman disappears beneath the surface of the water. With keen eyes on the spot where O'Rourke disappeared, grasping one end of a stout trailing vine in his left hand, the eight-man leaps out into space, swoops downward toward the surface of the river in a wide, dizzy arc. Rolling over and over in the swift current, O'Rourke comes gasping to the surface. A great bull crocodile is almost upon him. About to sink again, O'Rourke hears a loud splash in the water beside him. Two bands of steel encircle his body. They grip, tighten, and he is jerked from the water as the crocodile flashes by underneath him. With effortless speed, his steel-muscled legs gripping the Irishman's body, Tarzan climbs hand-over-hand up the trailing vine to vanish in the thick foliage high above the heads of the astonished yellow men. Oh, thank heaven. By the cues of my ancestors, what an impossible feat for a human being to perform. I've never seen anything like it. Utterly unbelievable. It is very apparent that those yellow fiends are of the same opinion, Ashley. Look how they stare up at the trees. Mamoiselle Jeanette. Uncle Jim, did you hear this? You see, here, at the edge of the clearing.  Lieutenant Darno. Decivou, make no noise. Do not watch me. Keep your eyes on the yellow men. Lieutenant Darno, what? My dear, steady. Do as he says. Pay no attention to them. Quiet, Mamoiselle, and I shall cut you loose. So, now lie perfectly still and I'll feed the major and the Dr. Wong. But what are we going to do? How will we get away? You know, Momon Tarzan will appear on the riverbank upstream. He will lead this sovaise away from camp. Now, Dr. Wong. I say, Darno, are we about given up? It works, Darno. The yellow brutes have apparently forgotten us. They are running upriver. Bom, bom. Now, on your feet, and follow me. Where to? The dugout. Oh, look. He's saved Dr. Wong. He will join us presently. Joe, man, how did you get out of those traps they had us tied with? They're not. Under my fingers. Never tied by a seam, and it was not. Here, the rifles. We must take them with us. The yellow men, they see us. They're coming back. Hurry. What's those fellas cover the ground? Beat, beat my shore. Into the boat. But, Terry, what is it? Let their mind, Terry Namoiselle. Here, let me give you a hand, Darno. My job, the boat's heavy. If we can only get it afloat. Take your rifle, Dr. Wong. We'll try to hold them off. Uncle Jim, look down at Harry. Voila. Jump, Major. She is afloat at last. Here, Uncle Jim, your rifle. Never mind the rifles. The paddles. Oh, see if it's possible, Dr. Wong. We must get out of the range of those spears. Once in the middle of the river, the current will carry us fast enough. Lieutenant Darno, on the bank there, Terry. He's running downstream. Oh, those things will catch him. They see him. I did not realize Tarzan was leaving him so near the cop. Fully into the bank, Dr. Wong. Major, jump, Terry.  They're right behind you.  Shoot, Jeanette. Shoot. Find your aim, Jeanette. You've missed the brute. Pull yourself together. Take your time. Swim, O'Rourke. Swim. You got him. No, no, he's only wounded. He's still... Miss Ashley, hit that brute over the nose with your paddle. Here. O'Rourke, your hand. Bear, bear. I'll be in with you. Oh, big guy. In your head and almost got me again. Oh, that was a close call. Close call. I should say it was. That croc almost got you. Yes, and he did that. If Tarzan hadn't yanked me out of the drink when he did. And if LeFen and Darno hadn't pulled you into the boat just now, you'd be giving some crocodile indigestion. Well, was there one of them such a skin brute after me, no? After you. He almost had you. The wonder you have any legs left. Oh, sure. And that's what he was shooting at, a Kushler. I was so excited. I guess my aim was there. Where is Tarzan, O'Rourke? Yes, and I don't know. He dropped me out of the trees and said the lieutenant would pick me off the river bank when he came by in the boat. How did you manage it, Darno? You and Tarzan must have moved quickly to both be in the right spot at the right time. We were behind the Prince of Jungle waiting for a chance to help. When they dragged O'Rourke to the river, Tarzan knew what they were going to do. He made his plan and he spurred the moment. Hey, listen. Listen. Talk in drums again. They are probably telling their tribesmen of our escape. Well, let them bat their drums till their arms fall off. We're safe as long as we stick to the river. I'm still thinking this is the remote carriers to the Congo. Perhaps you are right, O'Rourke. If you are, why do those savages keep face with us along the bank, eh? My job, Wong. They must know we'll be stopped along the route somewhere. I'm in favor of leaving the boat as soon as Tarzan joins us. If Tarzan thinks it is a good idea, we can still make for the opposite shore and strike off into the jungle. What, and be recaptured by those yellow fiends as soon as we land? Seeking of the opposite shore. Do you notice, Lieutenant, how steep and high the bank has become, eh? Almost a cliff. And the current is much swifter than it was when I reached the boat. I had not noticed. The keeping to the middle and watching those sauvages held my attention. Lieutenant, downstream. Tarzan just dropped out of a tree into the water. There, you see him? He's swimming out to meet us. Oh, grasshopper, oh, dear. I was beginning, very dear to wonder where he was. Our staff and your friends have also seen him. Here, Wong, your rifle. Take yours, O'Rourke. Watch out for cocks. I'll give you a hand with the paddle, Lieutenant. Yeah. Wait, Tarzan. We are all here. All here safe and sound. Just wait downstream. You'll see if O'Rourke's guess about the Congo was good. Tarzan, that rescue of Terry, the way you pulled him out of the river, it was wonderful. Yes, old man, just watching you swing down from that tree took my breath away. And when you snatched Terry out of that crock's mouth, the most amazing thing I ever saw. Eh, in the excitement of the escape, Lieutenant, we, Major Ashley, Jeanette and I have forgotten to express our appreciation for your help. Mais je vous prie, Monsieur le Dr. Wong. C'est non-more about it. Tarzan, I was just saying to Don, oh, that I thought we'd best make for the opposite bank. No, we'll have to stay with the dugout. But don't stand us keeping peace with us over there. It must be because they know we'll have to leave the boat sometime. Well, maybe, but not now. Look up there on the other shore. What do you see? Nothing. Watch closely. I saw them from the trees. Yellow men. They're running along the top of the bank, back from the river. Expect us to land on that side. See, Gary, we'd have a hard time doing that even if them divils weren't there. Just look at them cliffs, sheared down to the water. If we do land, we must do so on this side. And those fellows know it. That must be the reason they are following us, eh? There's a bend in the river just ahead. Once beyond that, we may find open country again and low banks. The current seems to be getting swifter all the time. Those savages are forced to run like deer to keep up with us. We're going into the bend now. Keep to the middle, Darno. Why, this ain't... look at that, would you? We're running straight into a stone wall. And look, it's up there, crawling out of those cave-like holes in the cliff. Good lord, there must be hundreds of the Yellow Peas. Well, Terry, you'll guess about the Congo. You missed it, eh, old chap? Maybe I didn't after all. Look at the foot of the wall. That big hole. The river goes right into it, under the cliff. Me voilà, mes amis. You see, there are with narrows near the opening. The salvage can reach us with their spears, and easily. And those on the cliff wall above, they are preparing to drop stones on us. Eh, well, it looks very much like the end, my friend, eh? Darno, I'll take the steering paddle. You, all of you, use your rifles. Be on the side, and keep them off. We're going into that hole. Oh, but Tarzan, Cataracts, waterfalls, if there are any in there, we'll be dashed to death. Rather that, my dear, than being fed to the crocodiles or worse. Steady on. We're going to hit that opening at tremendous speed. Watch for rocks full of love. The rifles now. Fire!


Paclitaxal-loaded lipid-coated manganese ferrite magnetic nanoparticles, PTXLMNP, are a novel type of stimuli responsive drug delivery system designed to target melanoma cells while minimizing systemic toxicity and side effects. The particles can be administered intratumerally and then heated using a magnetic field, which causes them to release the drug locally and more effectively than other methods. This combination of chemotherapy and magnetic hypothermia has been shown to be highly effective in treating melanoma cells, resulting in higher efficacy and lower toxicity compared to traditional chemotherapy treatments.
