If you live in a U.S. city, you've likely seen a rat or two running around. According to the pest control company, Orkin, an estimated 21 million U.S. homes face rodent invasions, each fall. But rats play a much larger role in human history. These creatures have been sacrificed for the advancement of scientific research. Rats are complicated — and it inspire equally complicated feelings in us. This year, New York City held its first ever annual national urban rat summit to address the city's chronic rat problems. Rats pose real health and safety risks to human, we discuss what we lose by only seeing them as pests. Want to support 1A? Give to your local public radio station and subscribe to this podcast.

Many believe the concept of synchronicity is what happens when unrelated events occur in improbable ways. Carl Jung believed in this concept and thought it happened when our consciousness created the physical manifestation of our thoughts. Other people studying these events believe synchronicities are “magical events that nourish and encourage our faith and trust in the deeper yearnings of our hearts”.Dr Michael Orkin is a renowned statistician, data scientist and author of the newly released book, The Story of Chance: What's Luck got to do with it?, and he joins us on the show today to help us understand the synchronicities in our life.Dr Michael Orkin can be reached via the following links:LinkedInAmazon - The Story of Chance: What's Luck got to do with it?Listen to this week's program below or on your podcast platform of choice by clicking Here.

Paul discussed adapting to market changes, noting a shift from strategic acquirers like Orkin and Terminix to private equity firms that prioritize cash flow stability. He recommended targeting smaller, denser markets for higher gross margins and implementing strategic pricing to keep up with inflation.

Orkin, the pest control and extermination service, has just released a ranking of the top U.S. cities for bed bug infestations. Some of the largest cities, New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago, are near the top of the list. That makes sense. Nashville came in at 30 on the bed bug ranker. Of course, people around here are freaking out. I was concerned!  But then I saw that some smaller cities, like Davenport, IA, and Champaign, IL, appeared higher than we did. That made me feel better...

(AURN News) – Where is your city on the bed bug list? A new ranking released by pest control company Orkin has some big surprises. With an increase in bed bug issues across the country and around the world, the latest report sheds light on the cities facing the most challenges. According to Orkin's recent findings, Chicago has claimed the undesirable distinction of being at the top of their bed bug list for the fourth consecutive year. Following closely behind, New York, Philadelphia, Cleveland, and Los Angeles round out the top five cities with the highest bed bug issues. Orkin's list of 50 cities includes some newcomers, including Las Vegas, Minneapolis, and Oklahoma City. Orkin compiled the rankings based on the areas where they conducted the highest number of treatments from December 2022 through November 2023. The increase in bed bug problems is attributed, in part, to the rise in post-pandemic travel. As more people resume travel, the chances of picking up these unwanted hitchhikers also increase. Orkin emphasizes the importance of regular home inspections for bed bugs, particularly in common hiding spots such as mattresses, outlets, and behind baseboards. The company recommends inspecting your home after service visits, returning from a trip, or hosting overnight guests. When on the go, Orkin provides tips for staying vigilant in hotels like storing your luggage in the bathroom or on a counter to minimize the risk of bringing bed bugs home.

In this episode, we sit down with Kevin Brannon, a community leader with a unique perspective. As someone who worked in the pest control industry with companies like Terminix and Orkin, Kevin has faced the frustration of not always being in control. However, he emphasizes the value of focusing on what one can control and being accountable for one's work. Kevin also delves into the impact of effective communication from managers and how this influenced his leadership style. But that's not all - Kevin is the force behind the nonprofit organization, Real Guppy Outdoors. This initiative is all about empowering individuals to make a positive impact in their environment through fishing education and community engagement programs. Kevin explains how Real Guppy Outdoors is expanding its mission by partnering with other organizations and offering various resources, including financial literacy programs and mentorship development.

It's mankind versus nonhuman invaders in this episode of Journos! Stephen's big talk about pant legs gets Brandon thinking about a Washington Post story on rat-hunting that reads like a newspaper version of a snuff film ... only with rats.  What's with WaPo's obsession with the city's rats? Our sleuths dig into the last few years of coverage to sort out whether the city's paper of record really really loves rats, or really really hates them. (Seems like a cross-species frenemy situation.) All this talk of invasion inspires Stephen to ruminate on Mexico's space alien problem. The problem turns out not to be the aliens, though, because the aliens are fake. The problem is the fabulist who somehow got into Mexico's Congress to talk about fake aliens.  And the bigger problem, as we unpack here, is that the news media is only too happy to push the "alien" part of the story without spending too much time on the "fake" part.  So, prepare your terrier for battle. This episode goes for blood. NOTES Washingtonian Magazine gets to the dog story first! // WaPo's rat obsession includes playing rats, video game rats, ratcatcher tips, rat czars, rat panic, heroic rats, and car-eating rats // Orkin reveals the rattiest cities in America // Reuters and NPR report on aliens in Mexico (but wait: here's the original Reuters and original NPR versions!) // WIRED, not having it // El Pais gives us Avi Loeb's support // Loeb is no joke, astronomically speaking // Harvard goes all in on Loeb's alien hunt

Our guests today have each been guests on our podcast before. I spoke with her in Epiosde 159 in New York at SYPartners headquarters and I also spoke with her two colleagues and partners together with our guest co-host Maks Giordano in Epsiode 123 in Berlin. A lot has happened since then and since the three are currently in Germany, we thought it was a good time for another episode. SYPartners stands for a holistic approach to consulting, which our female guest today, who works there as CEO, summarizes as follows: "The future that we're fighting for is one bringing humanity and performance together such that the organizations and coalitions of the future are built in a fundamentally different way." For more than six years, we have been looking at how work strengthens people - instead of weakening them. In more than 380 conversations, we've talked to over 450 people about what has changed for them and what needs to change further. We are quite sure that it is important right now. Because the idea of "New Work" was developed during a real crisis. We are looking for methods, role models, experiences, tools and ideas that bring us closer to the core of New Work! In addition, from the very beginning we have been concerned with the question of whether all people can really find and live what they really, really want in their innermost being. You are at On the Way to New Work - today with Jessica Orkin, Marc Winter and Thomas Winkelmann. Episode 388 is available on all major podcast platforms, such as Spotify or Apple Podcasts (or directly on otwtnw.de). Just search for 'On the Way to New Work' and subscribe to never miss an episode. Christoph and Michael always publish on Mondays at 6:00 and sometimes during the week. Most episodes are in German, but some are in English, like this one.

For eight years, Chicago has been dubbed the “rattiest” city in the country by pest control company Orkin. The city sees some 40,000-50,000 311 calls for rats each year, and they peak in the summer, says Josie Cruz, head of rodent control at the city's Streets and Sanitation Department.
