  They Called Us River Rats: The Last Batture Settlement of New Orleans is the previously untold story of perhaps the oldest outsider settlement in America, an invisible community on the annually flooded shores of the Mississippi River. This community exists in the place between the normal high and low water line of the Mississippi River, a zone known in Louisiana as the batture. 
   
   
   
  Until now the stories of this way of life have existed only in the memories of those who have lived here. They Called Us River Rats also explores the troubled relationship between people inside the levees, the often-reviled batture folks, and the river itself. It traces the struggle between batture folks and city authorities, the commercial interests that claimed the river, and Louisiana's most powerful politicians. 
   
   
   
  Today Fry is among the senior generation of "River Rats" living in a vestigial colony of twelve "camps" on New Orleans's river batture, a fragment of a settlement that once stretched nearly six miles and numbered hundreds of homes. It is the last riparian settlement on the Lower Mississippi and a contrarian, independent life outside urban zoning, planning, and flood protection. This book is for everyone who ever felt the pull of the Mississippi River or saw its towering levees and wondered who could live on the other side.

  Remote work has transitioned from a rare privilege to a widespread norm, reshaping the way individuals and organizations approach productivity, collaboration, and work-life balance. While working remotely once seemed limited to freelancers and digital nomads, advancements in technology and a shift in workplace culture have made it a viable option for professionals across all industries. This transformation has been especially accelerated by global events such as the COVID-19 pandemic, which forced companies to adopt remote strategies almost overnight. As a result, many organizations have discovered the long-term benefits and flexibility that remote work offers. 
  The evolution of the modern workplace has been marked by a steady move away from traditional office settings. High-speed internet, cloud computing, and a wide array of collaboration tools have made it easier than ever to connect from anywhere in the world. Employees no longer need to be physically present to contribute meaningfully to their teams. This has given rise to distributed workforces, where talent is sourced globally, and diverse perspectives are brought together in virtual environments. The shift has not only broadened hiring pools but also enabled businesses to reduce overhead costs and improve employee satisfaction. 
  Technology has played a pivotal role in enabling this transition. Tools for communication, project management, video conferencing, and file sharing have made collaboration seamless, even when teams are spread across multiple time zones. Platforms like Zoom, Slack, Microsoft Teams, and Google Workspace have become central to the remote work ecosystem. These technologies are not just alternatives to in-person interaction—they are becoming essential components of the modern work experience.
