The Martin Luther King Jr. National Historical Park is one of Atlanta’s most popular attractions and your visit to the city would be incomplete without bringing your children to the park to learn about this legendary man and the history surrounding his life and times. A good place to start is the Visitor Center where you can watch an introductory video and the children can see the Children of Courage exhibit, which tells the story of the children who were involved in the Civil Rights Movement. You can book a tour of the Birth House where Dr. King was born and where he spent his childhood. Other things to see include the World Peace Rose Garden and The King Center where Dr. King was laid to rest.

Being Upstream of the Problem

Interview with Hardin Lang

Hardin Lang
Tabitha Hardin-Zollo

Right now, the world is in crisis. It seems like every time I open the news, something else has gone wrong. At the moment, I am trying to educate myself as much as I can, be an informed citizen and be conscious of the world around me. Today, we spoke with Hardin Lang. Not only was he able to bring light to many situations that I did not have complete understanding of, but he also made me look at policy with a new perspective. Hardin Lang doesn’t want us, those in the biggest countries, to forget about the world’s most vulnerable. He says that it is not a question of if, it is a question of when. And when COVID-19 reaches Syria, Bangladesh, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Somalia, it will be what was seen in New York City on steroids. Simply shutting borders isn’t stopping the disease; we are at the stage where that will not stop epidemic. What is needed is a global response, the virus doesn’t know borders.

Beyond COVID-19, Hardin Lang’s life work and passion for it is unparalleled. I was struck by his ability to see the whole picture, or as he calls it, “being upstream of the problem.” There is an exhilaration that comes from fighting the problem head on, but sometimes real change must be made from the top down. And, it is not about being the savior, it is about changing the situation so that people have more choice. I hope that I can learn from his passion and mirror it in my life, seeing the bigger picture, seeing where I can truly make the most change.

Violet Forbes

On Wednesday, the 3rd day of our virtual trip, we had two interviews, one with Laura Liswood and the other with Hardin Lang. After a thought provoking interview/dialogue with Liswood, we had the interview with Lang. In that interview, we dove right into questions. Right off the bat his intellectual and thoughtful responses gave us a new perspective on issues we had heard addressed in other interviews. One point that particularly struck me was a story he told about interviewing soldiers in Guatemala who had destroyed a village filled with innocent people because their families were threatened if they did not. At the end of his story he asked the question, “What would I do if a gun was held to my head?” He made the point that we need to understand the circumstances before we cast judgement. This question reminded me of something Laura Liswood said about morality. She said, “You don’t know your morals until they’ve been tested.” You don’t know how you will react in a situation until you have really lived through that situation. I found this idea to be true. We can all say we will follow our moral compass, but when the time comes to truly test those moral ideas it takes a lot of courage to decide if they are truly worth sticking to.

Rachel Burgess

Today the Junior and Senior class had the opportunity to interview Hardin Lang. He is currently the Vice President for Programs and Policy at Refugees International. He has also worked on many U.N. Peacekeeping and humanitarian field missions.

Speaking with Hardin Lang over Zoom

What struck me the most during our interview was the level of humility Hardin Lang had when speaking about the work he does and what it means to him to help those that need assistance. He said that often when we talk about helping countries or individuals who require it the most, there is a savior complex. Individuals and even governments feel the need to be the hero and often want everyone else to recognize their work. At one point towards the end of the interview, while talking about his work in assisting other countries, Hardin Lang said that those in similar positions to help should understand the “concept of accompaniment” when it comes to their role and responsibilities. “They should be there simply to guide and aid rather than rule and control,” he stated. Their job should be to help those who once needed assistance be able to operate without such assistance.

I very much appreciated what Hardin Lang had to say. I feel these sorts of ideas are often overlooked in the line of public and global service, but they are something we should start thinking about because this sort of perspective can help all of us.

I was left speechless at the end of our interview today with Hardin Lang, Vice President of Refugees International. He had so much worldly wisdom and knowledge to share with us that my brain could hardly keep up. I was awestruck by his years of accomplishments and experience. While answering our questions he continued to return to the idea of being humble. When talking about his role on humanitarian missions to other countries he said, “don’t see yourself as there to save other people, you’re there to accompany them.” Often, I think the United States views itself as sort of a “superhero”, swooping in to “save” the day. He said it was not our job to superimpose structure upon other countries, but it was our job to listen and assist. This struck me as important because I think we forget sometimes that we were born into a life of privilege by luck. The only difference between us and the refugees in Syria is that we happened to be born in the right place at the right time. I think this message is extremely humbling and important to remember. When we realize that all that differentiates us is nothing more than luck of the draw, perhaps we can finally get over the international barrier and create a more globally inclusive and supportive society.

Lawrence Block on Donald Westlake

August 29, 2009

Lawrence Block is one of the most successful crime fiction writers of his generation. He was a college dropout who began his writing career in the late 1950s churning out pornographic novels. He has managed to write roughly a novel a year for the past fifty years, creating series detectives such as Matt Scudder and Bernie Rhodenbarr, protagonist of the innovative ‘Burglar Who …’ novels. Block’s early books were often written, pseudonymously, in collaboration with Donald Westlake, who died on the last day of 2008. Here is a short video from a talk at the Mysterious Bookshop in New York in which Block talks about his friend and his novel Memory, due for release in 2010.

Review: Factfulness

Ten reasons we’re wrong about the world - and why things are better than you think

Hans Rosling, with Ola Rosling and Anna Rosling Rönnlund (2018)

It would be awfully convenient if learned things stayed learned. Or so we often feel when we just can’t quite remember that name, or that holiday, or where we left our keys.1 Factfulness is essentially a book about the opposite problem: when our memories for things we’ve learned stay the same, but the facts change.

In a masterclass of big-picture thinking, the authors demonstrate the poor fit between the ways we’ve learned to think about the world and the way the world actually is. This isn’t really a book about cognitive biases so much as it’s about providing better ways to conceptualise the world. We can’t make good decisions with bad information, and Factfulness aims to provide that information.2

The most important conceptual overhaul the book aims to achieve is replacing the binary rich/poor, West/Rest, developed/developing etc. distinctions with ‘the Four Levels’ of income.

  • Level 1 (US$0-2/day)
    • People on Level 1 (about 1 billion) look like the pictures of dire poverty from charity fundraising materials: walking long distances each day to collect water; little or no access to healthcare; sleeping on dirt floors.
  • Level 2 (US$3-8/day)
    • People on Level 2 (about 3 billion) probably have rudimentary transportation, such as a pedal bike, reducing the time taken to collect water, and have some variety in their diet, but are highly vulnerable to unexpected expenses such as healthcare, repairs, or redundancy.
  • Level 3 (US$9-16/day)
    • The 2 billion people on Level 3 get cold water taps, stable electricity (and therefore refrigerators and more varied diets), and can afford occasional holidays. Sudden expenses like motorcycle repair are still a threat, but now they come out of savings for sending the children to high school.
  • Level 4 (US$17+/day)
    • The 1 billion people on Level 4 are the book’s (and this blog’s) audience. People with access to hot and cold water taps, cars, foreign holidays, more than a decade of education, pension plans, etc.

While the binary model was useful once (when the world really was split into developing and developed countries), this model needs to be unlearned because the world has changed. Nowadays people’s lives are more accurately described by their income level than their geographical location.3 This is neatly demonstrated by the authors’ Dollar street project, which shows visually how cultural differences are dwarfed by income differences.

Equipped with the Four Levels, it becomes easier to anticipate how the demographics of the world are changing. There is a steady transfer of people up through the levels,4 and with it reductions in infant mortality and childbirth rates, and increases in vaccination rates, years of education (for boys and girls), and the like. The resulting picture is of a world with a similar population to today, where most people live in Asia on a reasonable income level, including demand for electricity, travel, and consumer goods. Whether you’re concerned with how to provide power without destroying the climate, or how you’re going to make money from selling your local gadget, a fact-based world view is vital to making appropriate decisions.

The book provides a neat summary of some of the mistaken instincts we have about the world (in that sense it is about cognitive biases), but more than anything else it makes a very successful case for lifelong learning. Just because you learned something about the world once, it doesn’t mean it’ll stay true for your whole life.

Factfulness is humane, cautious where warranted, but consistently frank, powerful, and persuasive.5 It’s surprisingly light reading which cannot be taken lightly. Even for those who fundamentally reject the idea that useful knowledge about human flourishing can be gathered from aggregated data, the book does a better job of outlining that position than others.

  1. The cutely-named ‘tip-of-the-tongue syndrome’ refers to those situations where our metacogntive ‘feeling-of-knowing’ tells us we know something, but we can’t produce the knowledge itself.

  2. One of the strengths of the book is its reliance only on widely-accepted information. One of its most impressive feats is showing how even the people who that information is collected and curated for are wildly wrong about what it actually says.

  3. In some sense this has always been true. The usefulness of the Four Levels heuristic is because the geographical correlation with income has dissipated rather than because income has emerged as a new predictor.

  4. The directionality of the levels constitute a value judgement, wholly endorsed by the book, that life on higher levels is better than life on lower levels. It’s possible to argue otherwise, at least philosophically, but the direction-of-travel remains the same even if you want to reject the idea that it’s a positive thing. I’m with the authors in thinking that life is better on the higher levels.

  5. It’s also humble. One of its endearing lessons is to assume that people making decisions are not stupid, and to ask what circumstances would render their actions an appropriate solution. Often people who look like they’re doing dumb things (such as living in a half-built house) are actually solving different problems (investing savings in tangible and stable assets). This lesson is at the heart of another fantastic book: Poor Economics.

This weekend

On Thursday, April 12th, Mayor Ted Wheeler will be giving his State of the City address— and he’s chosen Portland Community College Southeast on 82nd as its location.

It’s a nice gesture, but if you follow City politics you’ll notice a trend of facilities being sited in East Portland without respectful notice or even proper process. The shelter on Foster Rd and the bottle drop planned for 82nd Ave are two recent, glaring examples.

Choosing locations for services can be challenging, but starting the process should be very simple: follow your own rules and communicate. The hard work of reaching compromise is made even harder when the City does neither. Wheeler is asking for feedback, and his first question is: “How would you like to see our communities become even stronger?”

Follow your own rules and communicate with neighbors. It would be a good start.

I got a good look at the site of the new community garden on Oregon Department of Transportation land this week… 🙂

There’ll be a dedication ceremony for Earth Day, I hear.

“On Friday, April 6th the Whitenoise Project is thrilled to be able to host Michelle Peñaloza as our first visiting reader as well as the illimitable Samiya Bashir and Stacey Tran for a special reading to celebrate Stacey’s newly released ‘Soap for the Dogs’!

ADA accessible and all ages! No one will be turned away for lack of funds.”

Art Haus at Milepost 5, 8155 NE Oregon St * 7  pm – 9 pm  * $5 – $10 suggested

Leach Garden tour (invitation):
“First Saturday of the month: Garden Curator Courtney Vengarick will show you what’s blooming and of seasonal interest, provide useful and engaging information, and share fun stories about the adventurous creators of the Garden, Botanist Lilla Leach and pharmacist/civic leader John Leach.”
Meet in front of the Gift Shop, next to the Manor House. Limit 15, first come first served.

Leach Botanical Garden  * 11 am – noon

Green Lents Garden Swap (FB invitation):

“Calling all gardeners and plant lovers! This is the time and place to make something of your spare decorative pot, your extra seeds, your surplus plants, your half-used bag of compost, and well… you get the idea.

Embrace the season and meet us at Zenger Farm with your garden items, and hopefully you’ll find new treasures to swap them with. While you’re here you can enjoy some snacks, take part in our silent auction, and purchase a native plant or two to take home.

This event is free and open to the public! We are thankful for our sponsors Portland Nursery and Bosky Dell Natives.”

Zenger Farm, 11741 SE Foster Rd * 1 pm – 4 pm

Monarch Tears of Joy

“The migration of the monarch is one of the most inexplicable phenomena in nature. From the tiny caterpillar traversing a world of miniature obstacles to the beautiful and brave butterfly who dares to fly for thousands of miles, Mon the Minnesotan Monarch takes you from Canada to Mexico and back up through the states again on this astonishing journey of determination and wonder, served up with a heapin’ hot dish of Minnesotan hospitality! Performed by Emily Alexander of Tears of Joy Theatre.”

Midland Library, 805 SE 122nd Ave * 3 pm – 3:45 pm

Dan's Take

The Death of Virtual Machines? Not so Fast

Dan argues that containers are great, but not always the right choice.

I was reading "Are Containers the Beginning of the End of Virtual Machines?" In this article, Jeffrey Schwartz asks if containers, an implementation of OS virtualization and partitioning (OSVP), will replace virtual machine (VM) technology. While the analysis is certainly worth reading, he's speculating whether one type of virtualization technology will replace the other over time. I believe that both types have a good future, because they address different requirements, and both types of requirements are likely to continue to be found in enterprise datacenters.

Virtual Processing Software: A Definition
Both OSVP software and VM software are types of virtual processing software. My book, "Virtualization: A Manager's Guide" (O'Reilly, 2011), offers the following definition for processing virtualization:

Processing virtualization does one of three things: encapsulates the operating system so that many virtual systems can run on a single system, links multiple systems together so that workloads will fail over if a system fails, or links systems together so an application or data can be spread across all of them for performance or scalability. This means that, depending upon the type of processing virtualization, the application can be run on multiple systems simultaneously or run under a hypervisor. A hypervisor can run as a process under another operating system or can run directly on the system hardware. Hypervisors can support one or more complete virtual systems at the same time.

This technology, as with other virtualization technologies, was originally developed for mainframe systems in the late 1960s, was recreated on minicomputers (now called midrange machines) in the 1980s, and started appearing on industry-standard systems (x86-based) in the early 1990s.

This type of virtualization is often used in conjunction with several other types.

There are five different types of virtualization technology in this layer (see "The 7-Layer Virtualization Model" or my book for a deeper look at the layer cake I call virtualization). Workload managers, cluster managers, parallel processing managers, OSVP and VM software are all found at this layer.

Operating System Virtualization and Partitioning
OSVP virtualization technology makes it possible for different workloads to reside on the same physical host and operate independently, in near complete isolation, on the same OS. This capability has been a standard part of mainframe systems since the 1960s. It was made available as partitions, LPARs, VPARs or containers in Unix environments in the 1980s. It has reappeared in Linux environments, and several companies are offering this type of technology for Windows.

The benefits of this approach are performance and efficiency. Because one OS is supporting all these virtual environments, less memory and storage is required. Furthermore, switching from one partition to another is very fast. Also, a single physical host may be able to support several times the number of independent workloads than if VM software was being used.

While using this approach, all of the workloads work with the same OS and the same version of that OS. So mixtures of Windows, Unix and Linux workloads on the same physical host aren't part of the repertoire of this type of processing virtualization. The tradeoff is between performance and flexibility.

Virtual Machine Software
VM software, also known as a "hypervisor," works differently than OSVP, even though some attributes are the same. Rather than sitting inside a single OS and allowing it to partition and isolate workloads, VM software typically sits below the OS. It encapsulates all of the software, from the OS all the way up to the applications running on that OS into a virtual system. Several VMs are allowed to execute simultaneously on the same physical host.

The benefits of this approach are somewhat similar to the use of OSVP. VMs can execute on the same system, but be isolated from one another. The major difference, however, is that VM software makes it possible for many different OSes or OS versions to happily work at the same time on the same physical host.

There's a cost for that flexibility, however: VM files can be big, and take up quite a bit of memory and storage. Moving them into and out of physical systems can take quite a while. Moving them from one physical machine to another can consume a lot of network bandwidth, as well. This also means the process of switching from one VM to another can take significantly more time than switching from one partition to another.

If the enterprise wants the flexibility of having Windows, Linux and Unix workloads coexisting and executing on the same physical machine at the same time, VM software is the best choice.

Dan's Take: Not One or the Other
What does all this add up to? Both types of processing virtualization technology are likely to have a strong future in the datacenter. When organizations need to run multiple workloads on the same physical system simultaneously, and they're happy to have them all run on the same OS, OSVP is the best choice. Smaller system configurations could be used to get the same or better performance. This is why Docker is getting so much attention today.

If support of workloads hosted by a number of different OSes or OS versions is required, VM software is the answer.

VS Code 1.43 Polishes JavaScript Debugger, Other Preview Features

Visual Studio Code 1.43, the February 2020 update, is out with the usual phalanx of new features, tweaks, bug fixes and more.

The update continues to polish new features presented in preview that were introduced in the January update, including a JavaScript Debugger. It comes bundled in early-preview Insiders builds, and it can be installed in Stable builds via the VS Code Marketplace.

"This month we've continued making progress on our new JavaScript debugger," Microsoft said in a March 10 announcement post. "You can start using it with your existing launch configurations by enabling the debug.javascript.usePreview setting."

That progress included:

  • Pretty printing: The debugger can now pretty print files, which Microsoft said is especially useful for dealing with minified sources.
  • XXX
    [Click on image for larger, animated GIF view.] Pretty Printing in Action (source: Microsoft).
  • Support for Microsoft Edge and WebView2: VS Code now supports launching the new Microsoft Edge browser.
  • Remote debugging: Developers can now debug browser source code from remote workspaces such as VS Online or Remote SSH.

Another new preview feature is "Settings Sync."

"We have been working the last couple of months to support synchronizing VS Code settings, extensions, and keyboard shortcuts across machines (popular feature request #2743)," the VS Code team said. "In this milestone, we are happy to announce that this feature is ready for preview from our next 1.44.0 Insider release. You can now have your preferences synchronized in all your VS Code installs across all your machines. You can also bootstrap VS Code with your personal preferences on a fresh machine with minimal effort."

Work also continued to support remote development in VS Code, a huge feature for the cross-platform, open-source code editor. Remote development is provided via extensions, which gives developers full-featured development environment choices: use a container, remote machine, or the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL).

Remote development feature highlights in v1.43 include:

  • Open remote workspaces via application links.
  • Remote - SSH: Support for Windows and macOS SSH hosts.
  • Remote - SSH: Connection sharing on by default.
  • Remote - WSL: Check out the recent Using Docker in WSL 2 blog post.

Other new features for the workbench, editor, accessibility, languages and many more areas include:

  • Search Editors: "After a few iterations stabilizing on Insiders, we are shipping Search Editors, which let you view workspace search results in a full-sized editor, complete with syntax highlighting and optional lines of surrounding context. This has been a highly requested feature for some time."
  • Draggable sash corners: "Did you know you could resize two orthogonal sashes simultaneously by grabbing and dragging the intersection between them? This already worked for editor sashes, and now it also works in the edges between editors and views."
  • Linux screen reader support: "With the help of the community, we have been working on making VS Code accessible on Linux with the Orca screen reader."
  • Minimap sizing options: "New options to fit or fill the minimap vertical layout."
  • Column selection mode: "There is a new global toggle, accessible via the Selection > Column Selection Mode menu item. Once this mode is entered, as indicated in the Status bar, the mouse gestures and the arrow keys will create a column selection."
  • Display whitespace on selection: "The default value of the editor.renderWhitespace setting has changed from none to selection. Whitespace characters will now be rendered on highlighted text by default."
  • Convert to template string: "You can use the new Convert to template string refactoring for JavaScript and TypeScript to quickly convert string concatenations to template strings."
  • JS/TS Call Hierarchy view: The update supports the new TypeScript 3.8 release, which brings call hierarchy support in JavaScript and TypeScript, providing the ability to view all calls to or from a function and drill into callers of callers.

Finally, a list of 14 notable fixes is available here.

The development of Visual Studio Code by Microsoft staffers and many community contributors is carried out on GitHub, where the project has garnered more than 92,000 stars.

Hi, everybody! Disclosure: This publish is a sponsored dialog on behalf of Time4Learning. I obtained a free trial and extra compensation but a positive evaluate was not required and opinions are a hundred% my own. Many Christian households are fortunately utilizing Time4Learning of their homeschool program. Focus on Christian considerations right here.

Plummeting learning disability scholar nurse numbers are leaving the specialty on the snapping point”, it was warned right now. There are not timeforlearning any long run contacts and you can begin and stop at any time. Perfect if wish to simply sign up during the summer as public or homeschool enrichment.

As you spend time managing social media channels and studying the ins and outs, you might have particular questions on find out how to do things, such as creating an amazing time4learning reviews advert or selling an Instagram post. Academics use many strategies to guide students by means of a interval of reflection. We offer several right here: discussions, interviews, questioning, and logs and journals.

A Background In Effortless Programs For time4learning

I was given a free” month of Time4Learning to try in change for a evaluate. Time4Learning is nineteen.ninety five per scholar monthly, and 14.ninety five for a second pupil. The kid log-in is straightforward and the mom or time four studying father log-in allows time 4 learning entry to all kids on the account. Part of the problem with that is that despite the fact that Time 4 Learning says it goes as a lot as eighth grade, it does not obtain this in all matters.

An Analysis Of Vital Factors In time4learning

A computer (PC or Mac) with quick access” (DSL or cable modem) to the Internet is right. Whereas some subscribers have been able to entry Time4Learning with a satellite connection or a Linux working system, it isn’t really helpful time 4 learning. Our curriculum does not help Linux and requires a robust, steady Internet connection to run the streaming classes. We do not suggest utilizing cellular knowledge or cellular hotspots.

In case you don’t like a program supplied to your child, you’ll be able to edit it or create your individual one from the bottom up using a particular Lesson Planner device. It permits you to make education versatile and tremendous time4learning reviews-tune it to the wants of your youngster. So, if the pace is simply too quick or on the contrary not challenging sufficient for him, adjust the curriculum to your particular wants utilizing this service.

We also tried Historical past and it was fully totally different from the Language Arts. It was mostly reading. So much reading. My son has a tough time reading and comprehending and remembering what he learn time4learning reviews. It was so tough for each of us so we switch to a unique program. I will probably be writing a overview on that later.

In a Competency Primarily based System, the requirements, instruction, and assessment (Educating Studying Cycle) work together in a different way and even more dynamically to support a learner-centered classroom. For example, inside this system, we might focus extra on the continuous and routine formation of small tutorial groups primarily based upon every pupil’s studying development.

Pimping for Farmers

The feast of St Francis of Assisi on the fourth of next month will also be World Animal Day, “an international day of action for animal rights and welfare”. It’s good to see that this anniversary is noticed and promoted in one of the UK Parliament’s Early Day Motions, the one numbered 696. Although these EDMs rarely turn into actual parliamentary debates, they usefully publicize the concerns and special interests of the groups of MPs who sign them. So far, just 23 MPs have signed this EDM 696, but it was only posted in July, immediately before Parliament’s summer recess. In its final words, the EDM “encourages everyone to show their support for animals in the lead up to and on World Animal Day itself.”

Quite puzzlingly, six of these same MPs have also signed EDM 686, titled ‘Pig genomes decoded’, which takes a wholly opposite view of how we should relate to animals. The purpose of this EDM is to congratulate Edinburgh University’s Roslin Institute on its part in establishing “the whole genetic make-up of pigs”. This is an achievement which will “enable more accurate use of gene-editing technologies to develop pigs with desired characteristics”; it will also “enhance biomedical research in which pigs are used as models to study human health”: two new ways of not showing support for pigs, then. The work was a collaboration involving “40 scientists from 15 laboratories in the UK and US”. It was led by Roslin in the UK and, in the US, by the Meat Animal Research Center (MARC) in Nebraska, part of the US Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Research Service (ARS for short: readers may enjoy recalling that the research establishment featured in Richard Adams’ novel The Plague Dogs has the initials ARSE).

Roslin itself is a ‘meat-animal research centre’, but it avoids the crudely definite  word ‘meat’ in its publicity. Habitually it uses some variety of the collocation “animal and human”, as if we’re all in this together. Thus its declared mission is “to enhance the lives of animals and humans through world-class research in animal biology”. MARC isn’t nearly so tactful: its more expansive mission statement speaks of “high priority problems for the US beef, sheep, and swine industries . . . efficiency of production . . . a lean, high quality, safe product . . . the production and agri-business sectors . . . improving animal production.” There is no mention of animal welfare or animal health, still less any reference to that dangerously evocative theme “the lives of animals”. And this establishment, with which Roslin has been collaborating for at least ten years, has indeed no tradition of interest in animal welfare. As one of its scientists said in response to a complaint that the pigs were being over-crowded, it’s a “non-issue”.

The implications of this attitude were thoroughly exposed a few years ago in the New York Times by Michael Moss (the journalist who had made public in 2009 the true nature of ‘pink slime’ as a constituent in processed meat). He described in particular the various MARC projects aimed at increasing the profitability of cows, pigs, and sheep as procreators, and the consequences in animal suffering. There was the failed Twinning Project for cows, which force-raised the incidence of twin births, even triplets, but also dramatically raised the proportion of frail, deformed, or dead offspring, and created nightmare scenes at parturition, a hard enough business when only one calf has to be brought out (the Center pursued this project for 30 years before giving up). Then there was “pasture lambing”, a project to breed ewes who would produce and care for their lambs alone and unaided (no costly husbandry required!) wherever in the widespread Center lands they happened to be. Deaths of these purposely neglected new-borns – from starvation, hypothermia, predation – were up to three times the normally expected number. In the case of pigs, various gruesome operations on the wombs and ovaries of sows were tried, as a means to increase the numbers of piglets born and the frequency of pregnancy; for, as the pig-research company Agriness says by way of cajoling insufficiently ruthless farmers, “The difference between what could have been produced by every sow and what was actually produced means money lost . . . What about you? Do you know the productive potential of the sows on your farm?”

It may be that animal welfare at the Meat Animal Research Center has improved a little since 2015, the year of the New York Times exposé. There is now at least an Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee, in line with other research establishments, though farm animal research is largely exempted from the regulations of the Animal Welfare Act which governs research practices in the USA, a fact of which the MARC has for years been taking full advantage. There is new accommodation for the pigs, albeit a grim concrete-floored barn with no sign of straw or of anything for the pigs to do except loiter. But a photograph on the MARC web-site proudly shows 13 or 14 piglets suckling a sow (the natural number in a litter would be about ten). They’re all on a metal grid.

In short, there’s been no change to the conception of science as force which animates this institution. After all, as its sponsor-establishment ARS says, food-production is “a continual evolutionary battle of humans versus insects, mites, viruses, bacteria, fungi, nematodes and contaminants.” So it’s a war, and science is our weaponry. (Aptly enough, the land on which MARC operates formerly belonged to the military, which mainly used it as an ammunition storage site.)

Accordingly the research on reproduction being conducted there is altogether invasive in its thinking and practice. It includes the study of “factors that influence puberty, estrus, sexual behaviour, ovulation, fertilization, implantation, embryonic and fetal mortality, parturition, and early post-natal mortality”. The hands-on, or hands-in, “research efforts”, we’re further told, “involve regulation of follicular and testicular development, ovulation rate and sperm production, embryo and fetal relationships with uterine function, and identification of quantitative trait loci in both cattle and swine.”

This grotesque rummaging in the generative organs of animals makes the old-fashioned trade of pimping seem a healthy and life-enhancing activity. MARC says that its research into reproduction “includes both sexes”, and this is true of the practitioners as well as the practised-upon. Both men and women do this work: it’s hard to know which is the uglier concept.

Anyway, supposing one needed enlightening on this point, it’s clear that the attitude towards farm animals which Ruth Harrison challenged all those years ago in her book Animal Machines (1964) lives on in good health and funds. More than that, its scope is constantly expanding. In the UK there is going to be a Centre for Innovation and Excellence in Livestock, which will provide funds from government and industry for “state-of-the-art facilities” at several research institutions. For Roslin this will make possible a new Large Animal [note, not ‘meat animal’] Research and Imaging Facility. This will represent (so its media staff say in their PR frenzy) “a quantum leap in infrastructure available to the animal sciences innovation pipeline in the UK”. Roslin will also be able to set up an Informatics Hub, which will propagandize and train farmers and others “in their delivery of genomic improvement”. The ARS publication Transforming Agriculture (2018) shows equivalently grandiose ambitions for the USA.

It’s a common defence of animal research that it accounts for a very small number of animal lives compared to meat-eating. For instance, the organisation Speaking of Research, by way of introduction to the recently published 2019 UK statistics, puts chicken and fishes at 90% of the total, cattle, sheep, and pigs at 1%, and medical research at 0% – meaning, I suppose, invisibly few. (Most of the remainder is wild-life killed by cats, another frequently cited point of comparison, though how it helps to justify animal research is unclear.) But that 91% has itself been a product of animal research. As Ruth Harrison wrote in Animal Machines, her 1964 study of industrial farming, “every batch of animals reaching market is a sequel to another experiment or part of an experiment.”

Nor can it be said that the research is merely corrective of problems, making an existing unpleasant practice more efficient; as we’ve seen, it’s much more ambitious than that. The leader of the pig genome project at Roslin, Professor Alan Archibald, is quoted in Farmers Weekly (4 July) as follows: “Pork is the most popular of all meats [really?] and, with a growing global population, we need to improve the sustainability of food production.” In so far as this non-sequitur means anything, it expresses the intention of promoting pork in the world’s diet. And in other projects Roslin likewise promotes other meats, including chicken and fish (as aquaculture).

To claim that animal research uses comparatively few animals is therefore humbug. It is present and instrumental at the conception, birth, expedited growth, and premature death of all the billions of animals accounted for by industrialized agriculture. I know that it’s been said in this blog often before, but this is one of the most culpable tragedies of animal research, that it is thus constantly and aggressively shoring up a diet which we now know very well is bad for the health of humans, bad for the planet, and bad for the animals, wild as well as confined, who have to pay for it with their lives.

I wish that EDM 696 had mentioned some of this (EDMs are allowed up to 250 words). It should at least have included the word ‘vegan’, last used with ethical purpose in an EDM twelve years ago. Still, such as it is, please write and tell your MP to sign it!

Be a volunteer or a tourist, but never a voluntourist.

Voluntourism reached an industry value of $173 Billion in 2017. Voluntour organizations that package volunteer opportunities with tourist and leisure attractions that cater to students, religious groups and well-meaning individuals.

On its surface, a trip that pairs leisure and service together into a convenient timeframe may not sound bad. However, this project explores the ill effects of turning a service trip into a vacation.

From trips offering medical experience overseas to unlicensed students to damaging children's relationship development abilities in orphanages and much more, these voluntour experiences remove potential benefit to and even cause harm to the communities they claim to help.

Voluntourism is the commodification of at-risk communities and social issues that require empathetic, comprehensive and professional help to steer them toward solutions and self-sustainability.

Journey through this project to see the difference between what it means to be a volunteer and a voluntourist, and use these tools to make a choice:

Three incoming Virginia Tech students will receive Stamps Leadership Scholarships. The scholarship provides full tuition, fees, and room and board for up to four or five years depending on the student’s course of study, in addition to an enrichment fund to allow the scholars to take part in unique experiential learning opportunities for academic and professional development.

The Virginia Tech Stamps Scholars Class of 2020 includes:

  • Casey Jung, of Adamstown, Maryland, who will major in engineering in the College of Engineering and be a member of the Virginia Tech Corps of Cadets;
  • Grant McMillan, of Virginia Beach, Virginia, who will major in general engineering in the College of Engineering; and
  • Dana Mulligan, of Falls Church, Virginia, who will major in University Studies.

The Stamps Family Charitable Foundation partners with 36 schools around the country to provide scholarships to students with strong leadership potential, academic merit, and exceptional character. This year, 209 Stamps Scholars were selected from over 400,000 applications.

In 2014, the Stamps Family Charitable Foundation launched a partnership with Virginia Tech to provide scholarships to undergraduate students with a $1.25 million grant that was matched with a $1 million gift from Virginia Tech alumnus Dave Calhoun as well as $250,000 in Virginia Tech funding. Prior to 2014, the foundation had provided scholarship funding to students at the Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine. Currently, 12 Virginia Tech undergraduate students are supported as Stamps Scholars, including the three new incoming scholars, representing a range of disciplines in five of the university’s six undergraduate colleges.

Stamps Scholars make significant contributions to their campuses. “Virginia Tech Stamps Scholars are engaged in research and student organizations across campus and beyond. They have presented at regional and national conferences and often seek interdisciplinary connections and opportunities to enrich the learning environment. Stamps Scholars enrich the Virginia Tech campus for all students,” said Christina McIntyre, senior associate director of University Honors. ”Many Stamps Scholars have sought international experiences to better understand the world and their place in it.”

Through the foundation, Stamps Scholars across the country participate in a national day of service, have access to a growing network of scholars and alumni, and have opportunities to attend biennial conventions where scholars network with each other and learn from recognized leaders.

Since the foundation began distributing scholarships nationwide 11 years ago, 30 of its scholars have won nationally prestigious awards, such as the Fulbright, Gates Cambridge, Goldwater, Marshall, Rhodes, Truman, and Schwarzman scholarships.

Prospective Virginia Tech students who would like to apply for this scholarship next year can find more information on the Virginia Tech Honors College website. The priority deadline will be Dec. 1, 2016, with in-person interviews scheduled in February 2017.
