So could a robot do the same job without the harmful side effects. Those little plants dont stand a chance theyre being examined by a laser burned and killed roots and roll. Weed killers like this prototype may stalk the fields of the future. Its being developed by scientists at the university of bonn in germany. Devices like this could transform the entire business of we control and crop care. Day and night robots could check for disease watch out for infestations like insects or fungus and kill the weeds among the crops stomping is an alternative method to zapping. Theres a lot of Artificial Intelligence behind these little models. If they do their job well the use of herbicides could be slashed. Weve reached the point where we can sharply reduce the use of chemicals im confident it will indeed happen in the field of weed control this is just as he and. The smart robots need to distinguish between weeden crops and between healthy and diseased plants and rarely if ever get it wrong. T

I wanted to write human diversity for many reasons but at the center is this fact, we are on the cusp of an enormously exciting era. Advances in genetics and neuroscience are giving us new tools that will enable us to take giant strides in understanding human behavior, human apolicies and economies. We are like physicists, i like to say at the outset of the 19th century poised at a moment in history that would produce a apeople like me and dalton ought to be excited but a lot of social scientists are like, why .

My staff works really hard, and i think we are doing everything we can to make it easier for providers and for consumers to be able to access the services that are available to them and serve the people of the city. Any questions . Thank you, kelly. It might be helpful for newer commissioners if you summarized how a consumer qualifies for ihss. What are the requirements . In terms of income or right. So in order to be able to qualify, you have to be medical eligible. If you are, you would call cristas shop, and they would arrange to have a social worker come who would determine how many hours per month you are entitled to. And once that happens, you can hire whoever you want. And about 85 percent of consumers in San Francisco have a friend or Family Member that will do the service for them, which i will also just add, keeps people housed, because then they know they can get paid to provide the service for a friend or Family Member, so there will still be income coming in. 15 percent wh
