Highs. The s p was having quite a rally since thursday. Remember the bottom on thursday. Thats when we heard the uae minister trying to create a halt in production or discussions about that. Since then the markets rally close to 70 points. Really very impressive. We saw all sorts of things turn around on this. The oil rallied and u. S. Bank stocks again are rallying today. So the big names, bank of america, all leading the market up 2. 5 on average. Defensive names, all the stuff that was doing well last week are down today. Your Telecom Stocks like verizon are lagging. Your utility names and consumer staple defensive names are flat to down. Its important to reiterate how much stocks have rallied since that bottom in the middle of the day on thursday. If you look at a group of stocks, bank stocks, citigroup is almost up 12 since the bottom on thursday. Big Global Industrial names like General Electric and caterpillar are all up 4 to 6 . And even exxon and chevron were up 5 or 6 or so a
Its really going to depend on the local environment. So, how how about southwest florida . Well, this is one of the reasons we need a supplemental to give resources so we can look at mosquito populations, trap them, analyze them and then sometimes larva siting can have an impact on mosquito populations. Your point is quite correct that the outdoor spraying may have limited impact, if any, on the mosquito population, but were looking at different ways of doing mosquito control. And in some circumstances what theyve done in australia, for example, is use targeted indoor residual spraying for this particular mosquito with as far as weve seen some pretty effective results. But all of that is quite complex to do. And let me see if just taking off on that point so that i understand it correctly. Because, again, we want to get in the game here legislatively so im not just asking to take your time here. Like a lot of things it always impacts the poor. And people that, you know, lifes never fai
By the way. [laughter] that was when we talked last july. You can add a new other agencies to the list now. Va and dhs. You want me to do it . Go for it. So va problem statement in a nutshell, we are creating disabled veterans at pace that we cant absorb in the rest of the system. We have been doing that for 1012 years or so. You can probably guess what they are. And its been overwhelming the rest of the system since then and backlog of disability claims at one point was 600,000 or so, that was that highwatermark was hit around march 2014, if i remember correctly. Just a few months before we came on the scene. The delayed disability claims in the case of the va very often mean a lapse in treatment which could be physical therapy for a new amputee. Hearing losses is incredibly common and Mental Health issues are incredibly common. Untreated posttraumatic stress and depression is not only a lifethreatening situation for the veteran but around the veteran as well. This is, if you follow t
So some Risk Assessment. Are calculated. And the items variy at all of them contained history and the rest simply a few different categories, and conclude and bills, education and demographic variables and particularly gender age and include psycho social and in a corrections official and they ask things et cetera. Explicit variables and rather this was not always true and many words until explicit based but the modern instruments because theyre essentially indicators of poverty and so we can expect these instruments to have a racially impact. In my view many of the variables that go into the scores are simply inappropriate and possibly illegal factors on which to base the treatment of criminal defendant. And im not saying that those things are not correlated or predictive of recidivism. Crime is obviously correlated with poverty in our society, although we should remember that the extent of that correlation may be exaggerated by what the fact the recidivism they measure getting caught
Sensors, why did this not get detected . And owe the answer is and you can tell if you look at the map that nobody thought to put these sensors around the white house or around the highincome areas of washington, d. C. So it was never measured. So it wasnt actually applied in this case to a wealthy area. We should look at how we apply it to accept the widest set of individuals. We need to talk about collaboration coordination. One of the interesting questions i think for government right now, is to ask themselves why didnt we create uber . If you think about this, you know, the problem that uber tried to solve, the really fundamental problem of matching passenger to drivers is really a taxi problem, this was something that cities and states knew they had. They were familiar with rolling out technology, they had done this in the past but they didnt probably the number one reason this problem is solved because they wanted to solve their own needs. They werent saying all these other citie
