This is Bloomberg Radio. This is Bloomberg Markets with Paul Sweeney and Matt Miller. We got a lot of green on the screen here, but the volume is light. We constantly underestimate the strength of the U .S. consumer. This is a market that's much more optimistic or bullish than maybe central bankers are. Breaking market news and insight from Bloomberg experts. There's still some concern out there in the market that there is room for things to deteriorate a little bit more than what they're indicating. As small and medium -sized businesses struggle, they don't present as much competition. The supply chain has still got dislocations globally and here in the U .S. This is Bloomberg Markets with Paul Sweeney and Matt Miller on Bloomberg Radio. All right. Coming up in this hour, we're going to do a deep dive on the bond market.

"Those people who could benefit from volunteers, what kind of let her have the last word in terms of advice there. But volunteers are not too much work. Every organization, I believe, has to figure out a way. To engage people like the Eileen's of the world. To find spots for them where they can make a difference. Because you can't always afford to buy the expertise that comes with a volunteer. And with every nonprofit organization, the number of people you have is directly connected to the amount of power you have as an organization. Your power to raise money, your power to mobilize people, all of it. The more people who know about you and are close to your organization, the more impact you're going to have. And that includes volunteers. So that's my soapbox, which I'll put away, and I'm going to leave the last word to Eileen, which is you're speaking to people who can engage volunteers in nonprofit organizations. What kind of advice would you offer them? Well, first of all, I want to thank you for listening to me. And listening to all the ins and outs and all the little details of all the things I've been doing. Thank you. I hope it's been helpful to you. I would say that having spent my life with someone who was an executive director, there's a lot of pressure to talk to people who are able to provide you with important things like budget and money. And I think that as executive directors, you might spend an equal or some large part of your time talking with people who can give you something that doesn't equal money. And that equals ideas management tie

"So it is a very serious issue that I don't think people take seriously enough just my little pitch. So getting rid of stigma or trying to help people understand what the issues are is extremely important, not just to me, but to everyone. And I've been having a great time being asked to do all those things I do best, which is brainstorm, innovate, what might be possible, right? And you're not finished with that. It's still a journey. No, I've been told I've never had this experience where someone said to me, think as big as you can and then will bring it back if we have to. Love that. I love that. I love that. And so my volunteer life is very full, it's very fulfilling. I have as busy a schedule as I had what I had a job. I just don't have to commute. And you get paid, but it's different, isn't it? It's not financial reward. It's just smile all the time. It's really different. And I think that this is another issue I talk about so often, it's a privilege. It's a joy to volunteer to an organization when it's the right organization for the volunteer when there is a passion at the heart of that person. And when you are open to the idea because there's a couple of things you heard in here, especially on the food insecurity organization, that executive director was willing to let go. Look executive directors don't let go as much as they could or should. You have sometimes a little control thing. Come on. Tell the truth. But this one, this particular executive director was willing to give Eileen autonomy and built trust with her. And in fact, I, in fact, I, at times, kept wanting to turn back to her to say, shouldn't you be the person who does this? 'cause you're the boss. And she would say, no, no, go with it. Go with it. So we really were partners. I love that.

"What do you do? And that got them interested in the organization because they thought, well, if I leans doing it, it must be good, and that allowed me to ask them for you guessed it. My money. Yes, money and hours of their time. And other good ideas. So now, of course, Eileen is becoming a 5 star volunteer who has too much going on. Ben, why not add one more thing? And I want you to talk about this particular volunteer thing because there's more, right? Because I often talk about the notion that you don't have to engage staff on certain things and you don't have to engage boards on certain things. You can use people utilize the skills of people who are in neither of those spheres and engage them and bring them closer to an organization. I call them kitchen cabinets or task forces. And they're excellent ways to bring people closer who might have skills who might ultimately be able to donate who might ultimately be board members, right? And so Eileen has found her way onto exactly one such thing with another organization in a different arena that also speaks to her personally. I hope we're not speaking too fast. But Joan consulted to an organization that I found very interesting and I signed up for their newsletter. Just by way of giving you some background, I have diabetes, I became diabetic when our twins were born 28 years ago. And it has been a slow process, but I'm now at the point. I'm actually a very lucky diabetes patient, not too much has gone wrong. But it has become more serious as time has gone on. And what I have found is that the medical profession is very unclear about how to treat diabetes. One doctor has one point of view and other doctor has another dietitians, one says, you know, counter carbohydrates and others says, eat high fat, it's really just a merry go round, a whirlwind, and it's very frustrating because there isn't really a rhyme or reason as to why you stay in sort of within your healthy range. Healthy rain turns out your blood sugar numbers. And why you don't. Any minor thing can set you off and it isn't a science. And this one organization has a newsletter that talks about all the latest findings, all the latest philosophies about all the new findings from around the world. And I thought they were great. And I got to talk to the executive director and a project came around where he invited me to join as kind of a consultant. I'm not paying consultant. He wanted to talk about what things were keeping the world back. In terms of a new findings in diabetes and what things were the most difficult for diabetes patients. And we all decided that it was stigma that there is a stigma about type two diabetes patients that it is all their own fault and if they just hadn't had 17 Milky Way bars, they would have been just fine.

"Safer for all of us to get together. But we became a group of us became very close friends. And we've started preparing plans for wonderful new parks in our town of montclair. And I did something very special to me, a very dear friend of ours had been an organic gardener. He passed away a couple of years ago, and I rehabilitated his garden, put in ten beds, and then grew vegetables for the food organization that I just mentioned. Bingo. Let me also say two, I want to make that volunteer connection for people who are listening to say that the master gardener program also is a kind of a Petri dish or kind of catalyzes people to volunteer. In fact, Eileen's the program Eileen was in, demanded 70 volunteer hours. So it's actually, it's actually a program that fuels volunteerism in this arena around the state. So I found myself spending a couple of hours a week at one of the premier gardens, the premier parks in New Jersey, branch brook park outside of Newark, and learned so much from their horticulturalist. It was just fantastic. And all of the, you know, it creates this little army of people who take care of things that the state might not be able to take care of or local governments might not be able to do. So just to clarify, while Eileen was studying, she was investing 70 hours in volunteering. So remember what we're talking about here today is what was Eileen's journey about that led her to these things. And what we're now hearing is we're hearing about the intersection of things that Eileen loves. Right. And that was, I think, the most important thing is to focus, not on the things I thought I should do, but on the things that really meant something to me, a lot of people say, well, I'm going to be involved in, I don't know. Nuclear science. It doesn't mean anything. To me whatsoever. So I stuck with those things that were clearly emotionally important to me. And philosophically important. And I found my way. And I also found sort of a group in each of those situations, people who saw things the same way. I did. Joan is amazed that I have friends. No, because we were both workaholics. So I spent my life either working, traveling for work, or taking care of the kids. Right. So, and she did the same thing. So we had very little social life, and so I've met people who I really who are very dear to me now, and it's because we have worked together. On projects and I surprised some people one day, I volunteered, we have a food truck at this food organization, and we go out and serve people in need in varying parts of the county. And I'm assured order cook, flipping burgers, and I've never done this before. You came home smelling like French fries. I was a very unusual deep frying chicken nuggets and things like that. And we were once at a big town event, and I was flipping burgers and people I knew were walking by and went, hey, there's Eileen.

"Led me to two places. One place was focusing mainly on LGBT, Q young people who were Jewish. And who may have maybe going through the same kinds of things I went through, and another was a teenage suicide hotline for LGBTQ young people. So the interesting thing about those two organizations is that they were quite different, right? One of them is clearly sort of in the trenches. One of them is not quite as kind of direct, right? So one of them, a suicide hotline would be considered to be kind of a direct service organization. And an organization that supports and advocates for LGBT young people who are Jewish, that would be more of an advocacy organization. Did you have a preference? Did you want to roll up your sleeves and actually do the work or did you care about what you did at these organizations? One thing was really very clear to me. I just wanted to be of help. I did not need to be on the board. And in fact, I had had a couple of experiences in the past being on boards that were not very satisfying. I found my work on boards to, let's put it this way. I'm not a very patient person. I like to get things done. And I found that the boards I was on, those two boards moved very slowly, did not necessarily have a great working team. And I felt that I wasn't making any contribution at all. And in both cases, I resigned from the boards, something I didn't really enjoy doing, but I felt that I wasn't really being of much help. So I decided that I would be any kind of volunteer. I would stuff envelopes. I would send emails. I would do anything. I didn't need to have the kind of position that one would in talking with me would say, oh, she wants a high level job because she's a high level executive. So I have, this is the second time I lean and I have done a podcast. And the first podcast we did together was called confessions of a terrible board member, in which she talked about the experience of being a board member and we have actually made a commitment to have a revisit of that podcast because Eileen has learned about the world of volunteerism and has thought differently about things. And she is today, actually, on a board. That's true. And is no really no less impatient about getting things done, but it is actually working to her advantage on this particular board, but that is a topic for another podcast. Absolutely. I do think that my experience as a volunteer led me to understand how organizations work and how they don't work. And it really has informed me how I might be of good use on a board, and I've actually been thinking that I would join one. So anyway, that would be part two of a podcast we did.

"The volunteer story you are about to hear is true. I know, because I am married to this volunteer. Like many folks, my wife had her own great resignation during the pandemic. After quite a brilliant career as a television programming executive, Eileen became a 5 star realtor. She renovated and flipped houses and helped many land in a place. They call home. I may not be objective, but she's not a four star kind of gal. But real estate didn't fuel her soul, and she, like many, during 2020 began the hunt for meaning and purpose. That journey took her to begin a hunt to volunteer. Eileen's bio is in the show notes, but here's what you need to know. She's an overachiever. She's had a remarkable television career. She's past her Medicare birthday, and she and I have been together for over 40 years. Let's do this. Greetings and welcome to nonprofits are messy. I'm your host, Joan Gary, founder of the nonprofit leadership lab, where we help smaller nonprofits thrive. I'm also a strategic adviser for executive directors and boards of larger nonprofits. I'm a frequent keynote speaker, a blogger, and an author on all things leadership and management. You can learn more at Joe Gary dot com. I think of myself as a woman with a mission to fuel the leadership of the nonprofit sector.

Judge Orders Release of Detailed List of Property Seized in FBI Raid
"And I do need to update you there was a hearing in federal court today a real judge In the southern district of Florida And this is how it's reported by NBC I read it it seemed pretty accurate A federal judge said today she would make a more detailed list of what the FBI seized from former president Trump's Mar-a-Lago state As Lawrence for Trump and the Justice Department faced off in a federal courtroom in Florida for the first time in a case involving the unprecedented search of his home U.S. district judge Eileen cannon did not immediately rule However on the Trump law's request to appoint a special master to review all the evidence seized in the August 8th search to determine whether any of it includes potential attorney client or executive privilege issues Trump lawyers had requested a more detailed inventory of what investigators seized Contending the version they got from the government was too vague They asked for a detailed account of exactly what was seized and where it was located when it was seized By the way these lawyers Trump has now they really are good They are good Trump's team also said they want a third party special master to share all the evidence with them including the affidavit laying out the government's case that was used to get the search warrant in the first place The department of injustice was ready for the possibility of the judge would order that the more detailed list be on sealed saying in a court filing earlier this week the government is prepared given the extraordinary circumstances to unseal the more detailed receipt and provided immediately to plaintiff but whether it's a waiting for it doesn't need a court order to do that

David Simon and Nina Noble Are an HBO Production Powerhouse
"In 1998, HBO aired its first big scale miniseries from the earth to the moon. It was originally budgeted and roughly $40 million, but the network followed Tom Hanks passion and wound up spending more than 60 million. Band of brothers, the Pacific, The Sopranos, and many other HBO projects would be beyond costly as well. But David Simon's HBO shows have proceeded down a different financial path. In large part, due to the acumen of his right hand, executive producer, Nina noble. Saunter down the halls of HBO, talk with their production experts, and you're bound to hear the word trust a lot. Trust is a vital ingredient for any network, but particularly so in HBO, where creators and producers are made to feel largely empowered to bring their visions to the screen without being micromanaged. While there is obvious financial supervision, the network wants to be in business with partners who are financially responsible and not spending their days desperately trying to exact more funds. Nina noble doesn't play such games. She has been working at HBO alongside David Simon for more than 20 years, and is part of an MVP triumphant of female powerhouse executive producers at the network, which includes Eileen landress of Sopranos fame and bernadette caulfield, who operated his field marshal on Game of Thrones. Think of all three women as CEOs of these shows, not in the writer's room, but often everywhere else. Noble is known for being a woman of her word and a complex problem solver. You can say she's in the solutions business, and that makes television life infinitely more agreeable for David Simon.

"With us. Today dr cassandra. Peer returns dr piers acting hospital epidemiologist and an infectious diseases physician at boston. Medical center welcome back. Dr pierre great to be here and we have a new addition to ask the docs this week. Dr eileen costello. The chief of ambulatory pediatrics. Also at boston medical center dr castillo. Nice to have you join us. Welcome to ask the doctors my pleasure being here all right so dr pierre. I'm going to start with you. We are seeing we. We've got this these competing data points. Okay we're seeing an increase in cases in massachusetts roughly seventeen percent more cases in the state last week over the week before according to the state's department of public health at the same time the commonwealth is still ranked forty fourth among us states where corona virus is spreading the fastest. So most states have it worse than we do right now weighing those two kind of data points. How concerned are you about delta right now in massachusetts. Well i think he really to let go of the concern You know we're in a point whereas you've been mentioning. Schools are reopening. Some businesses are reopening as well and many have been incredibly thoughtful about the plans for reopening in terms of distancing and vaccine recommendations and masks But you know as we come back from labor day weekend. There's always the concern of having an intensifying number of cases that is spread within those work school and then social networks The nice thing. Well the thing that we have to fall back on as are higher relative relatively higher vaccination rates so our hope is that we will not see an increase as high as we did last fall and winter however there is some evidence that there probably will be a continued increase in november of cases that we see.

The number one way to show you care and connect with clients
"Eileen welcome to the show as a way of getting status tolls about yourself. Thank you hello. Brian great to meet you. Thanks for having me on this show. So i am the founder and ceo packed with purpose. We are a corporate gifting company with a social mission so we provide an alternative to the traditional corporate but all of the products in our gift boxes do good so they create a social impact in how to come up with this idea. Yes so my background has been wonderful. Dance between social impact in business and marketing. So a few stops along the way. I was a peace corps volunteer years ago in paraguay then also worked in social impact advisory work so right. Before i started packed with purpose i was actually consulting to chief sustainability officers in marketing executives. Trying to help them figure out how to invest their corporate social responsibility dollars to both have a business return but also a societal impact so it was a typical cold day in chicago in december and our office was riddled with ubiquitous holiday. Gift and i was just looking around saying there's gotta be a better corporate gift. There's gotta be way for a vendor or a client to say thank you. And that's when. I had the initial idea behind putting together gifts where all products had a really unique story and actually contributed to the greater good in their community. Cool and so. How do you start. Where do you start. Well i i always say you just have to start somewhere and it's definitely not perfect but you have to start and if you start talking out loud and getting people's feedback you can hopefully start taking it down the path of what eventually your target market is going to be interested in so I actually founded the company in two thousand and sixteen. And the way i got it. Initially off the ground was put together a really low fidelity prototype so i- crowd. Sourced logo came up with a name but together that was passable and i had a first birthday party for my daughter and is a parting gift to all of my friends in the adults there i gave them a pack perfect gift and i told them that i'd be following up with them for a five to ten minute market research call to basically elicit their responses into get their thoughts so that was the first version of packed with purpose as we know it. Obviously it's evolved a lot. Since then where do you find the people generating the gifts. Yeah so we affectionately. Call our suppliers purposeful purveyors and our purveyors primarily are based all over the states so their social enterprises or purpose driven companies in l. a. Detroit chicago miami. I can give you a few examples because it really helped bring it to life so that people can and how are gifts created an impact so we were with the wonderful social enterprise. Right outside of washington. Dc that works with women who might have previously been homeless. They might have various various to To employment they could also have been survivors of abuse in their part of this incredible social enterprise at basically teaches than baking and cooking skills through the production of various products that they make like granola cookies which we then source for gifts. And it's a way for them to get their safe certification so that they can find gainful employment actually land on their feet half financial stability when they graduate from the program so we're the recipients of their products that we carried in our gifts or another example. There's a wonderful organization that provides employment to adults with disabilities and they make a whole range of cookies than toffees chocolate covered pretzels. And it's through both the housing program and a personal professional development program to these adults with disabilities and we source those products in our in obviously in are providing them with all of those amazing opportunities through that organization. How do you find your clients. Yeah so you know. One dominated do the work that i've been doing. I was exposed to a lot of social enterprises through my particular job and it's really a tight ecosystem so we started working with some organizations. Let's say in detroit. They would ask us. We'll have you heard of these other ones or when we worked with an organization that may be served a particular population whether it was youth or women or individuals that were previously homeless. You know there's a tight ecosystem where they wanna help each other. So i would say if i. It was a lot of referrals Also then his evolved towards a lot of the research that we do in that were looking for you know certain types of organizations where they have to have truly a high level of impact. They have to have high quality products. Whether it's something that you're consuming or it's highly functional like a journal or tumbler. it's gotta look good

Do you think that that. Tom had a suicide. Had a death. Wish and he basically brought eileen into the fray and brought her into something. It was very clear from the diary entries that tom had a death wish and was concerned. Eileen very clearly was concerned that something would happen to her and it does not seem that eileen wanted to die also if you take into account the slate that someone that people found it seems like they were in distress. Someone was making a call for help. So it's all very fascinating and it's all incredibly incredibly sad. But i want to know what you guys think. Do you think that they kill themselves. Do you think there is a suicide pact. Do you think there was a murder suicide. Pack do you think thought. I lean predicted her own demise at the hands or just involvement of her husband. Tom or do you think. They faked their deaths in their off somewhere in australia. A rainforest or somewhere living life living their bus lives and if you have not seen open water get the chance to see the first one It really really does a great great great job. It just conveying the camerawork a bobbing camera. And that's actually something that no one had really seen before in film. Is they pretty much. Set the camera on the water. I watched the making of. And i mean these actors were absolutely incredible in the film. Obviously they are attacked by sharks and killed you know ultimately by sharks and that's why this case got so much media attention is because everyone knows how shark-infested australia is everyone. Just defaulted to our killed by sharks and that was pretty much the narrative the entire time that this case was being discussed during and after everyone pretty much immediately defaulted to while they either fake third us suicide or sharks and so it became this kind of huge being especially in western media like in the united states and europe that they were eaten by sharks so it's spawned the movie open water which then in turn became one of the the big shark movies ever made the cause of it. Check it out. If you haven't. It is one of my personal favorites but there is a very very and very very sad case spine so that is it for today. Guys had to do one of my personal favourite cases.

"After that final dive conspiracy theories started to surface. The lawn. organs were eccentric. Did they come to australia to fake their deaths to secretly just move there. The chances of pristine diving equipment washing ashore in the same stretch of beach with slim to none and many locals most of the locals in fact believe that they had in fact made it ashore either on their own or at the help of someone else like a fisherman or you know someone who they had hired. Many of these theories were created and spread by those in the diving industry itself out of fear of its impact on their businesses. But people still wondered. Could it have been a suicide pact. Murder-suicide nothing was making sense. And there was no evidence to support any particular notion one way or another however one really stuck and it's a little crazy in nineteen eighty five. A man by the name of milton harrison faked his own. Death off of a ferry in new zealand happens all the time. Right people get tired. They want an insurance payout. Whatever so they just decided to fake their own death but he was also from baton rouge louisiana.

So on the port or like on the dock. When you get on a boat or get ready to get on the boat to go dive you'll take off your say sneakers or shoes and leave them in the basket.

Managing The DoorDash Data Platform
"I'm interviewing said here. Taunts about how. The team at doordash designed their data platform. So can you start by introducing yourself. Give having meet tobias. I'm a big fan of your data engineering podcasts. As mentioned earlier. I definitely find it a good source to include mike knowledge. This a lot of good interviews. A lot of good information that can be had from there a duly the engineering organization that we call data platform at ash consists of a few disciplines such as real time streaming platform machine learning platform experimentation platform it a warehouse etc and vina dodi fayed about a year and a half and came from over there for about four years doing something similar managing the data of the marketplace organization at river. So glad to be here looking forward to shut definitely. Do you remember how you first got involved in. The area of data management date as ls fascinated me. When i was a kid rock my first access to computer the first thing i did on. Ms dot crown to type into plus three and hit enter and was hoping that it comes up for the right answer. Percussion it said. Bad commander filename and i was like what anyway. That joke is said to me. Computers were always like number crunching machines and data crunching machines. And of course your rent of internet. Now it's a messaging machine and together with the data crunching capabilities and messaging capabilities. At think is what has made the martin technically possible. As far as my professional engagement goes for the most part of my career. I was a generalist back in engineering. Started my junior netscape back in the days. My first introduction to specically about data and data management was at net flicks reused a joke aren't net flicks that it really is a log event processing company which just happens to be in this teeming movie business to make money and really the volume of data that we had at netflix's what got me really interested in the crunching area. That's where my journey began. It just took it forward at uber who had the passion continued and sheremet that door dash continuing search gonna passionate all the now. Seventy an interesting career are going from netscape to door dash with many stops in between and so you mentioned a little bit about what you do at doordash where you head up the data platform team. Can you give a bit more of a flavor about seven. The responsibilities that fall on your plate and some of the ways that data is used to power. The business adore dash eileen the data plaque from engineering organization. Which for as the internal customers are date. The endless data scientists machine learning engineers. The operations folks are the folks that manage the business on the ground so those are my customers. The goal for the team is obviously to station. The best possible big data stack if you wanna use a buzzword that enables all of the computing power that we need to gain insights entered the marketplace as far as where data is used at nash. A little bit of outdoor show. I'm pretty sure people have heard of the company but a little bit of a primer on doordarshan. That explains why we use. Data jordache is really a multisided marketplace. There's the merchants which could be restaurants are stored owners. That are the dashers who essentially are the folks that drive or or right and and deliver the items and then there are consumers like you and me to that order food or any other items to the app. i'm so that's the multisided marketplace and a few other areas include convenience and groceries where that are other actors in order as well so anyway. This huge marketplace generates a lot of data and the goal of the organization. The data platform organization is to figure out how to harness the power of this large large data set to optimize the market. This essentially ended up to my business. A few examples could include something like eta. Ats estimated time for. I will when you order some food. We door he obviously wanted to come. And as soon as possible and it's critical for us to be as accurate as possible when we come up with eta while if he under predict what the is going to be then it lead to bad customer and bad user experience or or called the likelihood the customer is going to churn and go competing app for example. So these are the kind of work that really are my responsibility on my teams responsibility work with a lot of data scientists tick endless machine learning and genius together to make this possible because you have so many different actors within the platform that you have to try and understand the behavior of nba to optimize for imagined that the current state of the world with the pandemic has thrown your overall capabilities of being able to work with that data and some of your existing models of out the window and of curious what the overall effect has been in terms of the scale and volatility of the data that you're working with and your ability to be able to use it effectively. It's certainly as although we've had steady growth. I should say for many years now if you look at the chart but the pandemic definitely accelerate the shift in our consumers behavior for the most part. They're embrace the denver. The option wholeheartedly. And there's a lot more growth to be had there as well but you're right in terms of wallet tenacity especially talking. The machine learning martyrised that we had earlier bids machine learning modules that typically built on historical features. Which is how the custom whereas the the prediction were based on historical data. Of course that all change when the pandemic hit and yet to retrain our models pursued than new world that was an interesting exercise in addition to that it's about the volume yet volume is increased. Many folds the wisdom of data.

"Ah Polar Vortex weather system is bringing severe weather conditions to several states, according to The New York Times, roughly 150 million Americans are in the storm's path. Utilities in 14 states have already started rolling outages due to low electricity supplies. Jennifer McNatt from the National Weather Service Southern Region says this weather event is rare putting this into context and you look back in our history over temperatures. There's this event right now. It's probably similar to two other events that we've seen in this area. One occurred back in 1989 and the other occurred in 18 99. That's how significant this cold outbreak is. Uh, somewhere in between those two very significant event, so it definitely ranks up there in how unusual it is for this area. Meteorologists Eileen Devora explains. Record breaking temperatures will continue through the week. This cold air is in place, and it's not budging for the next couple of days.

Biden administration to "re-engage" with U.N. Human Rights Council
"And I'm very Louise Kelly. The Biden administration is taking a new approach to the United Nations, so it wants to make sure it has a seat at the table at U. N agencies that the Trump administration left that includes the Human Rights Council in Geneva as NPR's Michele Kelemen reports. The Trump Administration denounced the Human Rights Council as a quote cess pool of political bias. The Biden administration says the 2018 decision to pull out left a vacuum often filled by authoritarian countries. The diplomat representing the U. S in Geneva now Marcus are announced today that the U. S. Is rejoining first as an observer. We know that this body has the potential to be an important forum for those fighting teary and injustice around the world. Being president of the table. We seek to ensure it can live up to that potential. There are many human rights crises that could be discussed there. A military coup in Myanmar a crackdown on protesters in Belarus and Russia. Then there's Iran. The repression is at an all time high for the past 15 16 years I have covered it that Tutti Guy Amy, who runs the New York based Center for Human Rights in Iran, he says the U. S absence from the council was felt back in 2019 when there was a deadly crackdown on protesters in Iran. That was something that the Human Rights Council if it had its center of gravity should have immediately moved to an emergency session for it. It did not happen. The Trump administration blasted Iran for the violence, but Gammy says it would have been more effective if it had done so with others on the Human Rights Council. Trump's former U. N. Ambassador Nikki Haley accuses the council of covering for dictators and being biased against Israel, she says it's sad to see the Biden administration give it legitimacy. Eileen Donahoe has a different perspective. She was Obama's ambassador there and said U S leadership made a difference. We got a special rapid tour focus specifically on Iran. There was a commission of inquiry on North Korea. We got multiple special sessions on Syria, which meant that the focus on Israel decreased dramatically without the U. S. There, she said Via Skype, China has upped its game. Avoiding scrutiny of its crackdown in Hong Kong and with the U. S. Calls a genocide against Muslim

"Um, Last caller Eileen brought up problem. That's really common. That You know it's the elephant in the room, and we need to address it. And it's a certain size. And we want a certain plant to go in there. We're looking for a certain appearance. And the problem is this. Ah lot of times will see a design or plant that we want. And the space we're going to put it into Is Certain size. And guess what? That maturity. The plant we've chosen won't fit in that space. It's not uncommon. This happens a lot. What The problem is, is that You can't simply force Plant. To be a certain size. There's a large selection of plants that respond well to being shaped improved. There's a difference between shaping and pruning. Versus I have a plan to get 12 ft. Tall. I'm gonna hedge it, so it stays or foot high. Over time. That plant's gonna be stressed. That's not its natural behavior. And that stress is going to result in an increase in disease and passed pressures on the plant. Which means not only am I trying to keep a very big plant very small. I'm also now going to have to be treating it for those diseases or pests that increases my labor that increases the possibility that plant I'm growing doesn't look very good in a situation. I put it in now cause it Nick. It is so critical To work with our local independent nurseries. It's really easy to go to a big box store and find pretty much any kind of plant you want. But that doesn't mean that plants kind of fit where you want it. To go to a local independent nursery and say I got this base And it's this big. And I'm have a certain look that I want that independent nursery knows what plants grow here knows how big they get. Know what you're gonna have to deal with as to whether or not That 6 FT. Tall plants not gonna mind being 4 ft. Tall. That 8 FT. Tall plant that you're looking at that you think will fit and look good is never gonna want to be 4 ft. Tall, so they can save you a ton of work and effort and they could make sure you're picking a plant. That surprisingly, is gonna fit in that spot and give you the appearance You're looking for. It's not that you can't Still get the look You want. It's you have to understand that to have that look, it's best if you get a plant that looks the way you want and fits in the space you have when it's mature. Because you're gonna be spending a lot of effort dealing with some plant now it's okay to turn around and go. You know what? I'm going to move the plants that are around it. I'm changing the size of the place. I planted it because it's healthy. It's happy it's growing. And I can deal with it being 8 FT. Tall instead of 4 ft. Tall This'd be important part. When you design your landscape you have to understand. If you have a spot for a plant to go You need the plant to fit the spot. And that happens in its natural growth. It doesn't happen by owning a chain saw. You will not appreciate you will not enjoy that plant and its appearance. If you were taking one that you're trying to cram into a spot, half his biggest, it needs to be So It's a long term thing. And the other thing that It's really hard for some people to understand there is absolutely nothing wrong. Cutting the plant down. Over time. You may go. You know it worked 10 years ago. Didn't mind how it looked 10 years ago. Today. It doesn't fit and you know, well designed landscape. The minute you think it's finished? It starts changing on you. Those changes can be for the better. But those changes also result in overtime. Where you go. You know, this plant used to get enough sun. It doesn't anymore. It's time to replace it with something that would appreciate the shape. Work. Just simply remove it because it's not doing well. Landscapes, air dynamic. That's what the best part of bottom is. They should always be changing. Landscapes can handle. A lot of different plants. But your best bet is your local independent nursery. You could tell you what will fit in the space you have. Provide you with plants that work here that give you the That Low maintenance. There's no such thing as zero mainland's Give you that low maintenance look and give you the long term enjoyment of your landscape. So Sometimes you hear things you don't want to hear. There is always an option. Doesn't always mean you gotta pull the plant out. It just means that You may have to change the plans a little bit to make your landscapes that the way that you want. It's that time of the year. I got a text message. And someone wants to know. What are my favorite varieties of tomatoes? Uh, I hate to tell you this, but there's not an answer to that question. Have to understand. There are over 7000 varieties of tomatoes seven. 1000.

Thirteen Awards Movies to Watch Out for, Oscar Do-Overs, and More From the Mailbag
"Before we get into the mail couple things over the weekend hit in the world of movies. First thing i want to talk to you about is the thing. I spoke to the directors of this documentary series about which is tiger tiger woods. Now you know as a friend of mine and podcast partner that. I am an avid golfer. And a fan of the sport gulf you are not a fan of the sport golf though your partner is and so golf is in your life but not truly of your life. What do you know about tiger woods. And what were you expecting heading into this documentary. Well in addition to being one of the greatest golfers in history isn't in history and certainly one of the best athletes of the twenty first century. That the correct century yes which i do know about because athletes at that level become pop cultural figures and i am interested in pop culture. Even if i'm not interested in my husband lecturing me about what type of iron tiger woods is using which is like a personal hell that i live in on a daily basis so i know a lot about him as a pop culture athlete and then obviously he has a pop cultural significance all of his own because of the events that he went through in the public eye at the end of the last decade and really honest life for the last decade. Yeah and so. I think that this series is an interesting gambit on. Hbo part it's clearly inspired slash based on a book that came out in two thousand eighteen by jeff benedict and armond katayan. And it's an attempt to make sense in real time of probably the most significant american athlete barring lebron james and michael jordan i would say of the last twenty. Five years maybe serena williams in that conversation. I think it's a very short list of people that do for. The tiger is kind of hanging with in the last quarter century and the film is tricky. Because they only aired part one thus far part two is next sunday and so i don't think you can necessarily spoiler film like this but it depends on. What kind of your you are if you're very engaged in the tiger woods story and his life. I don't think that this film necessarily will teach you a lot about the events of his life. There are not a lot of revelations. I think there are some emotional revelations there are some there's some I guess the matic framing that. Maybe you wouldn't necessarily put together if you weren't deeply entrenched in his story the movie especially the first half of the movie takes great pains to portray this father and son story and to show earl woods. Father as the kind of dr frankenstein at and making tiger woods into this kind of frankenstein monster for better and for worse in that he's incredibly powerful but there's like all kinds of emotional danger in his life I one thing that struck me as i re watched part one last night and i watched it with eileen. It's there's a lot of golf highlights in the first half. And there's there's there's not. There's not a lot of scandal there's not a lot of there is some psychology and there is a lot of sort of personal background about how tiger grew up and who he became. But because he has this sort of monochromatic mono-syllabic experience in the world where we just. He very rarely showed himself to us. Basically what you get is like ninety minutes of an extraordinary highlight reel dovetailing with the story of a father and a son and what they mean to each other. And i think if you're a casual observer my my instinct was. Is this going to work for people now. The second half is different. Can of worms. And i don't wanna spoil it for people but did in the first half. Did you find yourself having a hard time entering the story. I did also watch this with my husband. The aforementioned gulf maniac and the soundtrack to watching this was every time golf shot would be show. Its accuracy like you know it was like a little gallery of one. And he was doing it under his breath and then i was kinda. Are you aware that this is happening. And he was like sorry and then he just kept doing it at a lower volume. I have to say when you show golf. As just a highlight reel. Tiger woods is most incredible shots way. More interesting to me personally than the stuff that you guys have on the tv on sunday afternoon which is so boric. My guys pretty. Good a golf so i enjoyed it in that sense i agree with you that maybe it's not that i had a hard time. It and another interesting thing is that i. I do think if you know even a little bit about tiger woods you kind of know about the earl woods character and that is a pretty established part of his pop culture story. It's a big dad. Big character looming. Dad figure familiar sports figure in show bizz figure for sure and Greatness and then the fall. That's kind of what you know. And as as you mentioned there's a fall there there is a part to we won't spoil all of it but if you are watching this documentary you probably have some idea of what's going to happen in part to and the even najah it at the very end of part one which is the very last shot is a very famous woman. Just sidling up to the camera. I that's that's great filmmaking. And i think when the documentary is leaning in to that winning in that side of the story because it it leans into all the aspects of the story but when it goes for that bit of flair and narrative tension is is when it succeeds

Virtual eviction hearings can make horrible situations even worse
"Millions of americans remain unemployed in this pandemic and can't pay their rent so people are being evicted. All over the country eviction hearings have moved to zoom or webex or even the phone to limit the spread of covid nineteen in courtrooms but some tenants advocates say. The virtual hearings violate people's rights. There aren't procedures in place for people who don't have broadband access for example translators that would be required in court aren't required online. Eileen guo is a senior reporter on tech policy ethics and social issues at mit tech review. She's been reporting on this and she described a hearing she attended in jackson county missouri. I listened in on a hearing where the person was the victim to end being affected by phone. The lawyer for the landlord was appearing. I video and the judge was by video and her call and her hearing was interrupted three times because the call was dropped she was trying to present evidence so paper documents that no one could see and on the other hand the landlord and the judge where referring to documents that have been submitted in advance that she couldn't see the judge herself recognized that this was such an issue that when she was scheduling the hearing for another ten. That was calling in. She suggested that she appear in person. Because appearing virtually disadvantage her. It seems like it's confusing and also like this feels like it's not a good way to do work in some cases right like it's not always even a good way to do a meeting let alone and addiction like how did it come to this so in theory courts moving to video conferencing could have been a good thing it was meant to be a public health measure so the cares act allowed for courts to to think about whether or not they wanted to allow more actions and more court procedures to be virtual to prevent the spread of covid nineteen in these small courtrooms as well as in the hallways by it kind of goes against the spirit of the cdc eviction moratorium which was passed in early september which specifically was looking to prevent evictions because there are clear links between housing instability and covid nineteen right but what if anything did courts due to accommodate people who don't have reliable internet or have no internet access at all. It's not really clear what courts have done to to make this process more accessible and it's really a court by core and in some case judged by judge decision there have been courts that have said that they are making greater accommodations for people with disability. That are appearing that they are providing interpreters that if as a tenant that is appearing in these courts you have some issue you can email the court in advance and express these issues to them but all of that kind of assumes that there's the space lied access to technology which in a lot of cases just is not the case that was eileen grow a senior reporter at mit tech review many statewide eviction moratorium sephardi past and unless lawmakers extended the federal eviction.

FEAR OF FEAR
"This lady was cautious. She decided she wouldn't let herself go and her drinking and she would never never take that morning drink. I didn't think I was an alcoholic. I thought my problem was that I had been married to a drunk for twenty-seven years and when my husband found a a I came to the second meeting with him thought it was wonderful simply marvelous for him but not for me. Then I went to another meeting hand. I still thought it was wonderful for him. But not for me. It was a hot summer night in 1949 down in the Greenwich Village group and there was a little porch out there in the old meeting place on Sullivan Street. And after the meeting I went out on the steps for some are dead in the doorway stood a lovely young girl. Who said are you one of us houses to I said, oh goodness know my husband is he's in there. She told me her name. I said, I know you from somewhere. It turned out that she had been in high school with my daughter. I said Eileen. Are you one of those people and she said oh, yes. Yep. In this as we walk back through the hall. I for the first time in my life said to another human being I'm having trouble with my drinking too. She took me by the hand and introduce them to the girl that I'm very proud to call my sponsor this girl and her husband are both in a a and she said to me oh, but you're not the alcoholic. It's your husband. I said, yes. She said how long have you been married? I said 27 years. She said 27 years to an alcoholic. How did you ever stand it? I thought now here's a nice sympathetic so long, this is for me. I said, well I stood it to keep the home together. And for the children's sake she said, yes, I know. You're just another martyr, aren't you? I walked away from that girl grinding my teeth and cursing under my breath. Fortunately. I didn't say a word to George on the way home, but that night I tried to go to sleep and I thought your some martyr Jane wage. Look at the record and when I looked at it, I knew I was just as much a drunk as George was if not worse. I nudged Jorge the next morning and I said I'm in and he said oh, I knew you'd make it. I started drinking nearly thirty years ago right after I was married my first drinking spree was on corn liquor and I was allergic to it. Believe me. I was deathly sick every time I took a drink but we had to do a lot of entertaining my husband like to have a good time. I was very young and I wanted to have a good time to the only way I knew to do it was to drink right along with him. I got into terrific trouble with my drinking I was afraid and I had made my mind up that I would never get drunk. So I was watchful and careful. We had a small child and I loved her dearly so that held me back quite a bit in my drinking career even so every time I drank I seem to get in trouble. I always wanted to drink too much. So I was watchable always watchful counting my drinks if we were invited to a formal party and I knew they were only going to have one or two drinks. I wouldn't have any I was being very cagey. Because I knew that if I did take one or two, I might want to take five or six or seven or eight. I did stay fairly good for a few years, but I wasn't happy and I didn't ever let myself go in my drinking as my son our second child came along and as he became school age and was away at school. Most of the time something happened. I really started drinking with a bang. I never went to a hospital. I never lost a job. I was never in jail and unlike many others. I never took a drink in the morning. I needed a drink but I was afraid to take a morning drink because I didn't want to be a drunk.
