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.

Understanding chance and probability is crucial in gambling. Never bet more than you can afford to lose. Craps and roulette are games of pure chance. Blackjack involves conditional probabilities and strategies. Various changing factors influence sports betting. Gut feelings in sports betting can be informed by knowledge. Skillful sports bettors can outperform luck. Money management is essential for successful betting.

(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.

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

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.
