One of the leading loses in electronics comes in the form of Joule heating from the movement of the electrons. Magnetic insulators allow for the production and investigation of pure magnonic spin currents without the associated Joule heating. Magnonic spin currents can be produced in several ways including the spin Seebeck effect [1] and via the spin Hall effect (SHE) [2] in a neighbouring heavy metal layer such as platinum (Pt), tungsten (W) or Tantalum (Ta).
The SSE is the spin-based analogon to the Seebeck effect. It allows for the efficient generation of pure magnonic spin currents in magnetic insulators due to thermal gradients and thus waste heat can be harvested to obtain useful spin currents. These currents are carried by thermally excited spin waves that propagate through the magnetic material [3], see Fig. 1 (a). Typically, spin currents are detected by exploiting the inverse SHE [2] in a heavy metal detection layer deposited on top of the magnetic insulator. At the insulator/metal interface a spin accumulation is induced, which in turn gives rise to an electrically detectable voltage signal. Besides ferromagnetic systems, especially the intensively investigated ferromagnetic insulator Yttrium Iron Garnet (YIG), the SSE has been observed as well in antiferromagnets [4,5] and even paramagnets [6].
We observe the local SSE by the application of in-plane magnetic fields and out-of-plane temperature gradients that are generated by external Joule heating. In addition to the exploration of new material groups exhibiting the SSE, a more thorough understanding of the fundamental aspects and underlying effects of the yet to be fully understood SSE is required. Temperature dependent SSE experiments performed in compensated ferrimagnets, for instance, allowed for an insight into the coupling between distinct spin wave modes and the conduction electrons of the detection metal [7]. Furthermore a direct correlation between the SSE amplitude and the intrinsic properties of spin waves carrying the spin current as well as the atomic structure of the insulator/metal interface [8].
By utilising the SHE, a transverse spin current can be produced in response to a charge current flowing through a heavy metal layer with a large spin-orbit coupling such as Pt [2]. This spin current can then excite spin waves in a neighbouring magnetic material which can propagate. At some non-local location, the inverse SHE can be utilised to detect this magnon current as an electrical one allowing for the study of the spin transport through a magnetic insulator [9].
Figure 1: (a) Longitudinal spin Seebeck effect (LSSE): By an out of plane temperature gradient spin waves are excited in the magnetic insulator that propagate towards the detection layer. (b) In the detection layer a spin accumulation is induced, which in turn is converted into a charge current via the inverse spin Hall effect.

Bears fall to Loyola
Bailey Vassalli
for the News-Leader
The Missouri State University Bears were looking to break their losing streak on Saturday against the University of Loyola (Chicago) Ramblers, but their efforts weren't met with a win.
The contest ended in a 97-75 defeat. Missouri State has now dropped its last five games.
Loyola took off and put up the first two points of the game. The Bears came back with a three-pointer and the Ramblers returned with one of their own — giving them a lead they'd maintain for the rest of the game.
Loyola, who sits atop the Missouri Valley Conference standings, was up 15-11 with 14:24 left in the first half before going on a 7-0 run to give themselves an 11 point lead.
Ben Richardson scored four of those points.
Lusk noted the talent of the Ramblers.
"They're well oiled and so difficult to guard," Lusk said in his postgame radio interview.
The Ramblers knocked down three 3-pointers within a little more than a minute in a 9-0 run to give themselves an 18 point lead with 4:22 left in the first half.
Missouri State came back with a 9-0 run of their own to close the Ramblers' lead to nine.
But the name of the game for the Bears was Mustafa Lawrence, the freshman guard out of Newark, New Jersey.
"Well he was outstanding," Bears head coach Paul Lusk said. "There are things he has to learn, but he has always had that leadership type ability. He will tell (the team) what's going on and they will listen to him, and that's a good thing."
In Lawrence's first career start, he put up 17 points against the Ramblers in just the first half.
Fifteen of those 17 points were scored off of 3-pointers.
But he'd only score two additional points in the second half.
The Ramblers went on a 15-2 run between 9:55 and 5:30. The only two points scored by the Bears in that period of time were off of a layup from senior forward Alize Johnson.
Lawrence led the Bears with 19 points, followed by senior forward J.T. Miller with 15, Johnson with 14 and senior forward Jarrid Rhodes with 11.
Loyola-Chicago showcased six separate players who scored in the the double digits in Saturday's contest, while Missouri State only showed those four.
Lusk said the players who are spending less time on the bench are those who are performing well in practice.
"We've lost five in a row now," Lusk said. "We're going to go with the ones who are doing stuff in practice."
The Bears next stop is Terre Haute, Indiana, where they'll face the Indiana State Sycamores on Tuesday at 6 p.m.

I want to take a second and thank everyone who came together this last weekend for the simple church conference. As I shared at the conference, I had experienced a lot of resistance about the entire during the whole process of planning our time together–so much so that I knew the day had to happen! I trust that the our time will together will continue to impact our faith journeys and our simple churches that we are connected too.
On Saturday morning, we saw folks from Lexington, Nicholasville, Wilmore, Louisville, Beijing China, and Washington DC come together to consider their call to live out the Great Commission. Dana and Diego kicked us off with a wonderful time of worship through song. I began the day by sharing how God had multiplied disciples and house churches throughout the history of The Church and that there was no reason to believe that He could not do that again in our country. I shared my conviction that if this were to happen it would have to be because of God and it would likely involve Him giving each of us a burden for those that were lost and hopeless without Christ. It would be love that led us to the mission field and kept us there…not guilt. We then spent 45 minutes praying through the 10 characteristics observed in Church Planting Movements across the globe and prayer for all the simple churches in the area to have a similar burden.
After lunch, David Toth led us in a discussion about aligning our will with God's will so that we could pray with integrity. Could we ask the Lord to multiply disciples if we truly were not able to align our lives such that we could be available to make disciples ourselves? What types of changes would we need to make in our lives to be able to pray with integrity?
Marilyn walker led us in a discussion about prayer walking. We watched a video about prayer walking and then… you guessed it! We prayer walked! Everyone had a great experience to share of how the Lord spoke to them during their time walking and praying through the Rabbit Run Subdivision in Lexington. There seemed to be a theme arise that the Lord desired grow a stronger sense of community among neighbors and we prayed that the believers in that community could initiate relationships.
Following our prayer walk, we had a virtual prayer walk of sorts through our relationships. We each tried to think of 1oo people or families that the Lord had placed in our life. After we made the list, we prayed for all our friends and asked the Lord if He wanted to send us to these friends in a new way. David challenged us to take the initiative in our friends lives.
Our day concluded with a time of worshiping God through prayer and Dana and Diego Vogel closed us with several worship songs.
I personally would like to thank Stephanie Jenkins for all her work in helping us with the facility at Rabbit Run. Also for everyone who could not make it but wanted to. I know that was many of you and please know that you were prayed for! We look forward to seeing all the the Lord does among us in the coming year!who came all the way from Washington DC. Daryl had previously visited us two years ago and returned to be encouraged and connect. It was wonderful to hear of how the Lord brought he and his new wife together and how their simple church community was making an impact among a very diverse group of people.

HBPD wants to remind everyone to be cautious of IRS and Social Security scams this tax season.
There are dozens of different scams each year. Some scammers can be very convincing. In some cases, the victims never report the monetary loss to relatives or law enforcement due to embarrassment.
Your Social Security number will never be "suspended".
The IRS will never call you on the phone.
The IRS will not request you make a payment to them with gift cards or money orders.
If the IRS claims they are sending local law enforcement to arrest you, contact your local police department.
Never give someone your social security number over the phone.
Never share your bank account number.


Who can volunteer in China?
What visa do I need to volunteer in China?
Volunteer in China and discover the Middle Kingdom from a completely different point of view. The massive country offers almost too many incredible sights to explore: from the megacities of Shanghai and Bejing to ancient temples, the Great Wall and the most spectacular natural sights, China will leave you absolutely stunned.
A unique opportunity for volunteers in China is working with pandas. Even though the fluffy black-and-white giants are China's trademark wildlife, their numbers are declining and make conservation volunteering all the more necessary.
You are thinking about spending some time in a foreign country? And you are looking for something adventurous and special? Why don't you become a volunteer in China, also known as The Middle Kingdom or The Red Dragon? Join us and make your trip not only amazing but also meaningful by doing something for the greater good.
There are a lot of different volunteer opportunities in China, so no matter where your interest lies, there will be a project that matches it. This can be either working with animals, helping in kindergartens or teaching in schools. You want to find out more about the different projects and volunteer tasks? Then keep on reading.
The suggested daily budget for living as a volunteer in China is between 13US$ and 37,83 US$. This is an estimate made considering the average price of some of the services you might need and things you might want to buy. It gives you a general overview of how much things cost in this country, so you can be prepared and save the money you will need.
Even though China is a relatively safe country, you need to take certain precautions because travelers are more often the victims of smaller crimes such as pickpocketing.
Pay extra attention when carrying valuables with you and consider leaving them in the hotel safe if you don't necessarily need them.
One of the greatest dangers you will encounter in China is crossing a road as traffic is very busy. So please be more than careful and only cross when it is safe!
China has one of the oldest cultures in the world with different religions such as Buddhism, Taoism, Protestantism, Islam and Catholicism. As a tourist, you are more than welcome to visit the cultural and religious sides. But please keep in mind to act respectfully.
Besides these standard vaccinations, the US-based health protection agency CDC also recommends getting further vaccinations. This, of course, depends on the length of your time abroad and your actual volunteer work in China. In case of contaminated water or if you will be attending one of the volunteer projects with animals, additional vaccinations against Hepatitis A and Typhoid are recommended.
A flashlight, binoculars and good hiking/walking shoes for outdoor adventures.
Copies of all your important documents to store in your accommodation in case of emergency.
Rainproof clothes as well as mosquito repellent.
You need to be at least 18 years old for most of the volunteer opportunities in China. When in doubt, we advise you to get in contact with the local project manager, as in some projects you can also volunteer when you're 16 years old.
You need to have basic English skills to join volunteer work in China. Please note that some teaching projects might ask for more advanced skills though.
You have made it to the last section of this guide, which is another really important aspect while planning your trip as a volunteer in China: getting your volunteer visa for one of the projects in China.
Please consider that the following information is based on a best practice approach, which has been made according to the best of our knowledge and in cooperation with several volunteer organizations. That's why you should please make sure to discuss your visa requirements with your contact person on Volunteer World. If in doubt, we also recommend getting in touch with the Chinese embassy or consulate in your country.
You should check if a transit visa is required for any connections.
If you are planning to volunteer in China you need to apply for an F-Visa. With this visa, you are allowed to stay as long as 90 days but an extension is possible. Before you apply for a visa please get in contact with your closest China Embassy or Consulate. They will provide you with all further information and give you a checklist of documents that need to be submitted.
Please be aware that the application process for a visa can take some time, so make sure that applying for the visa has a high priority on your list.


The case will be different if e.g. we point to a thing which he has never seen before and say: "This is a banjo". Possibly the word "guitar" will then come into his mind, possibly no word at all but the image of a similar instrument, possibly nothing at all. Supposing then I give him the order "now pick a banjo from amongst these things." If he picks what we call a "banjo" we might say "he has given the word 'banjo' the correct interpretation"; if he picks some other instrument -- "he has interpreted 'banjo' to mean 'string instrument'".
We say "he has given the word 'banjo' this or that interpretation", and are inclined to assume a definite act of interpretation besides the act of choosing.
As Frank Ramsey said, if you can't say it, you can't whistle it either, but you might be able to pluck it out on the banjo.


What does this swarm of honeybees have in common with Web servers?
When people translate patterns found in the natural world into real world applications, we refer to it as biomimicry. Because the honeybee waggle maintains honey production effectively, researchers have examined different ways that those principles in the hives can make our lives easier as well. In 2006, engineers at Cardiff University in Wales derived a mathematical algorithm for the waggle. Using that algorithm, they programmed machines in a factory to self-adjust for more efficiency.
The waggle mostly consists of a figure-eight shaped movement the scouting bees dance out while furiously shaking their abdomens. They move so rapidly during the waggle that they vibrate their bodies back and forth up to 15 times per seconds [source: Winston]. The information about the location of the nectar site is contained within the nuances of the individual waggle steps. For instance, when a scouting bee waggles, the number of loops it completes indicates the distance of the nectar from the hive. The angle that it waggles in relationship to the honeycomb also tells the foraging bees the direction to fly to reach the nectar site.
As the nectar at one site begins to run low, the waggling at the hive dies down accordingly. That, in turn, reduces the numbers of foraging bees flying to that site. They can then shift their focus to other nectar sites scouting bees have found without wasting energy.
To get an idea of the economy of the waggle dance, think about a set of elevators in a bustling office building. The mechanical operating system is like the scouting bee that directs the traffic, and the elevators are the foraging bees that fetch the passengers. In the middle of the day, the wait time for an elevator will be minimal. But when there's a high demand with many people on multiple floors pressing buttons, the wait increases along with the travel time on the elevator. Theoretically, if there were a central control (akin to the scouting bee waggle) that could cluster elevator trips according to destination, it would streamline the operations and cause less wear and tear on the elevators.
A professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology, Craig Tovey, took a cue from the waggle to ramp the efficiency of Web servers. Web servers manage a specific number of sites or clients online. They work best under normal operating conditions, but tend to crash during high traffic spikes. To resolve that issue, Tovey compared the Web servers' limited scope and capabilities to bees in a hive. The Web sites, or clients, he likened to the nectar locations. In order for the server to adequately manage a site during those spikes, Tovey realized that the network of Web servers needed to be able to shift their operations to the high-demand sites to prevent crashing.
To do that, Tovey and his colleague Sunil Nakrani created a platform within a network of servers that functioned as the waggle dance floor [source: Georgia Tech]. If a Web site experienced a user surge, a message went to the "dance floor" to attract other servers to help maintain the popular site. Like the waggle, the length of time the request remained on the platform indicated the traffic volume and potential profitability of that Web site [source: Georgia Tech].
In tests Tovey and Nakrani have performed on their model, server efficiency has increased 4 to 25 percent. According to those results, if the honeybee technology takes off, it could certainly sweeten the Internet experience.

At Musial Dental Center, we want to prevent tooth decay as well as repair it. This is especially true for our younger patients who have not experienced much decay or damage in the past. To aid in this goal, we provide dental sealants. Sealants are thin coatings made of plastic that are painted onto the surface of teeth, generally the pre-molars and molars. Located in the very back of your mouth, these teeth have deep grooves and pits that are often hard to clean and prone to trapping bacteria, acid, and decay. Sealants act as a protective barrier to keep your smile healthy and strong.
Sealants are easy to apply and only take minutes per tooth. Dr. Valerie H. Musial, prepares the tooth, if necessary, with a gentle etching process and then paints the sealant on. The sealant is then hardened with an ultraviolet light. When taken care of properly, sealants can last for up to five years. While sealants are most useful for children, adults who do not have cavities or existing dental restorations on their back teeth may also benefit from sealants. To learn more about this simple but effective treatment, we encourage you to call or visit our dental office today. We look forward to taking care of your family's smiles.

The First Chocolate Brownie Recipe Is Still Being Made In Chicago

By Yash Raaj/Updated: Dec. 21, 2022 5:01 pm EST
If joy had a scent, it would resemble freshly-baked brownies! This baked confection has a universal appeal. According to Tastewise, 21.35% of restaurants around the world keep some form of brownies on their menus. Moreover, recent trends indicate that the traditional chocolate brownie has received scintillating makeovers in the sweet and savory departments. For example, beer was one of the most-preferred brownie ingredients in 2022 (via Tastewise).
Some people love traditional fudgy brownies, and others like to experiment by incorporating new flavors — like adding espresso powder to make mocha brownies. However, even with the texture and flavor variations, there is nothing like a decadent chocolate brownie. Forbes claims that the first-ever brownie was baked in the heart of Chicago — in the central business district of Loop — at the Palmer House Hotel in 1893. And guess what? That same recipe is still being used at the Palmer House Hilton Hotel today so that visitors can experience the original flavor of this popular treat.

Brownies debuted during the Columbian Exposition event organized to celebrate the 400th anniversary of Italian explorer Christopher Columbus' voyage to the New World, as per Forbes. It was during this event that socialite and philanthropist, Bertha Palmer, who was married to the Palmer House Hotel's owner, Potter Palmer, asked Pastry Chef Joseph Sehl to create a new dessert. Her instructions were clear — it should be easy to transport (via Chicago Loop Alliance). Thus, the chocolate brownie was born.
The biggest difference between the original dessert and what we are familiar with today is the apricot glaze that is brushed on top of the original Palmer House recipe, according to New England Recipes. However, this sweet treat did not get its name until much later. One of America's premier food experts, Bruce Weinstein, claims in "The Ultimate Brownie Book" that the first recipe for the beloved dessert was printed in the 1896 "Boston Cooking-School Book" (via The Baltimore Sun).
Get a taste of history

The dessert, baked meticulously following the original instructions, is available at the restaurants of the Palmer House Hilton Hotel located at 17 East Monroe Street, according to Forbes. You don't even have to dine in just for the sake of trying them. You can purchase brownies to go in a pretty box decorated with a Palmer House ribbon. And if you are away from Chicago and looking at recreating history, the recipe was graciously provided by the Palmer House Hilton Hotel website.
To make these delectable brownies all you need is chocolate, butter, sugar, flour, eggs, apricot preserves, and unflavored gelatin. Before you start working with the ingredients, preheat your oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Next, all you need to do is melt the chocolate and butter together in a double boiler before mixing in the combined sugar and flour for 4 to 5 minutes. Add in the eggs and continue stirring to complete the batter. Finishing them off is as simple as pouring the batter into a baking dish, pressing the walnuts into the mixture, and then baking for 30 to 40 minutes.
You know your brownies are done when they are gooey in the middle but crispy around the edges. If you'd like to be true to the original recipe, the glaze is a simple mixture made up of 1 cup of water mixed with 1 cup of apricot preserves and 1 teaspoon of gelatin.
This historical recipe does sound uniquely satisfying!

"The Omnivore's Dilemma"
In keeping with my tradition of discussing books years after they've been published, I bring you "The Omnivore's Dilemma" by Michael Pollan. There's a few things I want to get out of the way before I tell you how much Pollan annoyed me with his attitude toward animals and how it reached a point where I couldn't believe the things this jackass was saying and doing. The things I want to get out of the way are: this is a great book, he is a great writer, and if you haven't read it you should and almost must.
There. I feel better. Now on with the dissection.
Pollan's book is divided into three parts. He visits a corn farmer in Iowa who grows for big ag, he visits a small farmer in Virginia whose farm is self-sustaining and designed to follow the natural order of animal and plant life, and then in the last part of the book he hunts and gathers.
Along the way he gives a pretty detailed description of the factory farm system, the big ag system, and the big organic system. And he eats a lot of meat.
He eats at McDonald's, he kills and cooks a chicken from the small farm, and he hunts down a wild pig which, with the help of a friend, he butchers and then cooks and eats.
He leaves no doubt that he's horrified by the treatment of animals in the factory farming system, and he throws off information I'd never heard before despite reading a lot on this topic. (He says that McDonald's tolerates a five percent error rate when it comes to cows still being conscious as they're cut apart on the assembly line. Almost 70 head of cattle move down one of these assembly lines PER MINUTE, and according to Pollan, McDonald's permits 1 in 20 of them – we're talking THREE PER MINUTE – to still be conscious when the chain saws start their work.)
In a chapter entitled "The Ethics of Eating Animals" he speaks to Temple Grandin, famous for designing the ramps and other parts of the slaughtering process, who tells him that when it comes to slaughtering cattle "there is the pre-McDonald's era and the post-McDonald's era – it's night and day." Pollan then says, "We can only imagine what night must have been like."
And yet despite this information, Pollan says, "In the end each of us has to decide for himself whether eating animals that have died in this manner is okay. For my part, I can't be sure, because I haven't been able to see for myself." HUH? You just heard about the process from the woman who designed it – do you think conditions might actually be BETTER than what she's telling you? If not, what difference does it make if you see it for yourself or not, except for the obvious difference which is that you don't have the image of live cows being chain-sawed to make you think twice before cutting into your next steak at The Palm.
He then goes on to compare the industrial slaughterhouse to the small family farm where he personally slit the throats of some chickens, and says it makes him realize why the small farm's accessible-to-customers slaughtering area "is such a morally powerful idea." And this reveals perhaps Pollan's greatest weakness. Whenever he does something that I imagine most vegans would believe is immoral, he brings up the issue of morality to justify his actions.
How is being able to watch your chicken-provider slaughter your chicken a morally powerful idea? What he really means every time he says "moral" is "guilt-assuaging." But his powers of denial don't let him see it that way. To him, being able to see HOW the chicken is killed also provides the reason WHY it's okay to kill it. But there's really two separate things going on here. One is the issue of humane slaughter. To the extent that the chicken-farmer's method is relatively quick and complete, then yes, it's better than a method that leads to a drawn-out, excruciatingly painful life and death. But a painless death doesn't equal a morally acceptable death. (And I'm not willing to concede that these deaths are painless or even near-painless.) Without explicitly saying so – since it's probably hard for him to let his thoughts and conscience focus on this too clearly – he conveys that it's acceptable to take this life because it'll taste good when he eats it. The animal's right to be free from such a killing doesn't enter into it, yet alone a human's right to kill another animal for this purpose. The deeper, more difficult and vexing questions aren't even considered here.
Peter Singer and other living thing.
Not that the rights of animals are never discussed. Far from it. He conducts his argument against veganism by attacking the animal rights thinkers, particularly Peter Singer. He accuses Singer and others of "argument from marginal cases." But what's so striking is that he's plainly guilty of doing that very same thing.
He says that the creatures on the small farm he stayed at for a week are clearly happy, while admitting that this is "but a speck on the monolith of modern agriculture." Yet he goes on to use this small farm as evidence that "animal rightists betray a deep ignorance about the workings of nature." Who's arguing from the marginal case now?
He goes on to say, "The surest way to achieve the extinction of the species would be to grant chickens a right to life." Again, he is arguing from the margins. Let's get to the point where the factory farms and their billions of tortured chickens are gone and every chicken is raised the way they are on the bucolic farm he visited and then we can have this conversation.
He adds that, "Predation is deeply woven into the fabric of nature, and that fabric would quickly unravel if it somehow ended, if humans somehow managed to 'do something about it.'" But is factory-farming part of the fabric of nature? Is it natural predation that maintains a healthy eco-system? It is the opposite. And let's not cite bison hunting as an excuse to eat meat when if I'm not mistaken that's not how most meat is currently obtained.
I suppose you could say that I too am guilty of arguing from marginal cases, by constantly returning to the factory farm, and wanting to continue to use that as the basis by which meat-eating is judged, and I guess that's true, if 99 percent of something is considered the margin.
He refuses to allow that the animal rights movement has developed and grown specifically IN RESPONSE to the factory farm. Thus it is intellectual fraud to keep returning to ancient predation and tiny pastoral farms to find examples to refute the "animal rightists." His romantic notion of food is a relic, and it's built upon a sea of horror, which while he acknowledges, he refuses to connect to his foodieism and his defensiveness of his continued consumption of animal products.
He insists on seeing animal rights as absolutist, because of course it's easier to argue from there. But take Freedom of Speech, which the Bill of Rights says, "shall not be abridged." But of course the Supreme Court has carved out numerous exceptions to these unabridgeable rights because society needs to be able to function without — to use a trite example — screams of fire in a movie house.
If a pitbull grabs your toddler in its jaws, Pollan would practically have you believe that animal rights advocates would insist you simply shrug and start preparing funeral arrangements. Or that you couldn't swat that mosquito before it took your blood and left you a souvenir welt. I know I'm repeating myself but it's flat-out stunning how he mocks arguing from marginal cases and then proceeds to do it for the entire chapter without even a hint of self-awareness. "Animal rights' exclusive concern with the individual might make sense given its roots in a culture of liberal individualism, but how much sense does it make in nature?" By now, even though he would deny it as a complete bastardization of his thinking, one can only draw one conclusion, which is that he regards factory farming as "nature" and intends to defend his continued consumption of animal products on that basis.
He says that animal rights "could only thrive in a world where people have lost contact with the natural world." Well, people HAVE lost touch with the natural world and that's why animal rights IS thriving. There was no Underground Railroad without slavery!
It seems to me that until we are in a situation where the small-farm meat that Pollan saw and produced himself when he personally slit chicken's throats is widely available we don't need to have this argument. A conversation in 1943 about whether the statement "Jews are good at business" is a compliment to Jews or an example of anti-Semitism would certainly not have been an excuse to let the Holocaust rage on. Pollan recognizes factory farm conditions for the nadir of humanity that they are, yet he still eats at McDonald's in the book. And while I'm sure that's not his usual favorite dining spot, how often does he know the providence of the eggs used in the gourmet items I'm sure he consumes at fine restaurants on a regular basis. Same for the items he makes or consumes when he's home.
I've no doubt someone like him, a foodie, especially one with an open eye to factory farm conditions, goes out of his way when he can to buy from small farms where he thinks and hopes the conditions didn't veer into evil. But what's the percentage of his eggs, dairy and meat that's produced that way?
If he's made a total commitment to ONLY eat eggs, meat and dairy whose sourcing he's certain of, then I don't have nearly as big of a problem with what he's doing. At that point, he's doing much more than most people alive today will ever do. But I find it hard to believe that's the case.
The final part of the book is about "hunting and gathering." He gathers mushrooms and he hunts a wild pig, which I found confusing given his earlier statement about the potential extinction of chickens.
He bases his whole justification for eating meat on the domestication of the animals and the fact that the chickens on the bucolic farm wouldn't have gotten the chance to live what he believes to be a good life if not for their being raised for food, and then he goes out and shoots a wild pig. And he says the pigs seem to roam in a group of six, with maybe three such groups in the forest. So thinning the herd can't be a justification.
So then what's the justification for killing one of these pigs, which he's already described as more intelligent than dogs? What's the justification for the sorrow that might come to the mother or baby of the pig he killed? The justifications he offered for eating meat aren't even recalled and then tossed aside – they're long forgotten.
He stretches to justify his hunting of pigs by saying, "They rip up great swaths of land with their rooting, exposing it to erosion and invasive weeds." This is exactly the kind of natural process he glorifies earlier in the book, but now, needing to feel better about shooting an intelligent animal in the face, he grasps for pejoratives like "erosion" and "invasive."
Later, while butchering and eating the pig with his friend, he says, "Eating it at Angelo's kitchen table, even amid the raw cuts of meat arrayed on the counters around us, I suddenly felt perfectly okay about my pig—indeed, abut the whole transaction between me and this animal that I'd killed two weeks earlier." Well I'm glad you felt okay about "your" pig — and what exactly was this transaction between you and "your" animal? That you get to eat it and in exchange it gets to be killed?
He adds, "Now it was all a matter of doing well by the animal, which meant making the best use of its meat by preparing it thoughtfully and feeding it to people who would appreciate it." How does this do well by the animal? Once the animal is dead, it doesn't give a shit if it gets eaten or tossed into a Dumpster or thrown into the sea. What you really mean is that it was a matter of doing right by you, or more specifically, you're conscience, by not feeling that you wasted its life since you were the one to take that life away from it.
This whole chapter is a serious of ridiculous statements. He goes to such great lengths to justify and rationalize his consumption of meat and other animal products that you feel like you're his shrink sitting there while he prattles on and on in a manner that you can't imagine even he finds convincing.
— "Another thing cooking is, or can be, is a way to honor the things we're eating." Please, don't anyone ever honor me this way, okay?
— "But cooking doesn't only distance us from our destructiveness, turning the pile of blood and guts into a savory salami, it also symbolically redeems it, making good our karmic debts: Look what good, what beauty can come of this!" So killing someone would be okay if we made a beautiful painting with their blood?
— "…it was cheering to realize just how little this preindustrial and mostly preagricultural meal had diminished the world. My pig's place would soon be taken by another pig." This is pig as commodity, as widget. Otherwise you can say the same about human life. I killed this baby, but another baby will be along soon enough.
— "Under the pressure of the hunt, anthropologists tell us, the human brain grew in size and complexity." How is this an argument for meat-eating? Certainly nowadays it's much harder to hunt down a vegan meal than to find a meat one, no?
WHAT HE NEVER COMES OUT AND EXPLICITLY SAYS IS: I KNOW IT'S WRONG AND I DO IT ANYWAY.
Instead it's page after page of convoluted rationalizations not worthy of the intelligent person who wrote the rest of this book. But hey, that's easy for me to say, I don't eat animals anymore. And it's also "easy for me to say" in the sarcastic way because I did the exact same thing he did, for almost half a hundred years.
I think Pollan's problem, which goes completely unacknowledged by him, is that as a foodie he wants to hang with a certain crowd. He's a celebrity in that crowd, and he enjoys that status, I'm sure. He's not about to invite the disdain and wrath of that crowd and risk exclusion by turning down much of what they offer, or eating side dishes when joining them at "fine" restaurants, or, god forbid, pointing out to them as they raise the fois gras to their lips that they really shouldn't be doing that. That it's MORALLY WRONG to be doing that. And that they all need to think twice about making any dish that requires cracking a few thoughtlessly acquired eggs.
Which raises the question of whether Pollan, someone whose eyes are no longer averted, someone aware of the full horrors of how, in his own words, all but a speck of current food is produced by a system that regularly, intrinsically inflicts brutal torture on the animal lives used to produce it, is worse than someone who either doesn't know or more likely sort of knows or has a pretty good sense of it, but shuts themselves off from further consideration of the matter.

Eat your meat and shut up.
Can you look me in the eye and say that?
Whether it's on big blogs like elephantjournal or sites like YouTube, I keep seeing a ton of things with titles like, "Why I'm eating meat again in 2012!" Each one features an incredibly defensive former vegan offering a million reasons why they're sick of vegans and how it's impossible to satisfy the extremist rules of the vegan police and how for health reasons it's become crystal clear they need to resume their meat consumption.
Maybe there are some people who have started eating sheep again sheepishly, but what I've seen have been big loud boasts. I don't get it.
I mean, I get it that people might want to start eating meat again. There's sacrifice involved in being vegan. For some people, it's the taste of meggairy (meat, eggs and dairy) that they miss. For others it's the social cost. Or maybe it's the nuisance factor, or the feeling of being constrained by rules.
I'm not bothered by any of those but the social, which I've written about already. But what strikes me about these people who are returning to meggairy is that most of them use the language of people who would never go vegan and who revel in heaping disdain upon us.
Self-righteous assholes is one of the ways we're described. Hey, I can be a self-righteous asshole, both before I was vegan and now, but where is the anger coming from? They also attack us for our rigidity and go to great lengths to let us know that veganism simply isn't the right choice for everybody.
My guess is that these are personalities that need to try something new every few years. That need to change. That enjoy the feeling of doing something different. Because how hard is it to really go vegan in the first place? It wasn't all that hard for me – someone who ate meat for almost half a hundred years, someone who didn't really like vegetables all that much, someone who will oddly refer to themselves in the third person all of a sudden.
But here's what I really don't get: If you were vegan, or even vegetarian, for a long time, as many of these reverts seem to have been, then I can't imagine you aren't aware of the horrors of industrial animal production. Yet what's missing from the rants that I've seen is any kind of acknowledgment along the lines of, "But I will only eat animals I feel were raised as cruelty-free as possible," or "I will never eat fast food or any other meat whose origins I can't ascertain," or "I still will only eat animal products occasionally."
It's quite the opposite. It's not only an explanation of why it's no longer something they want to do, but rather it's an indictment of anyone who continues to do it. We're all just a bunch of hypocrites. Being vegan doesn't work. We should worry about ourselves and stop judging others.
I imagine there's a number of reasons why people go vegan in the first place, and a number of reasons why they go back, I just thought the reverts would go back to animals with their tails between their legs, not with their claws out and teeth bared.
But while I recognize that people go vegan for a number of reasons, I feel that people stay vegan for one reason: what they've learned about the lives of these animals makes them feel they simply can't go back. And I wonder if the people who go back to meat ever watched any of the movies like "Earthlings" or read any of the books like "Eating Animals" or if instead being vegan was just another fad to them – a way to lose some weight or boost their heart health. Hey, that was me once, but then I read the books. Until I did I didn't know if I could keep it up but after I did I knew I could never go back.
Eating animal products is far from illegal in this country, in fact it usually feels like it's the opposite: it's what our country wants us to do, not what it doesn't want us to do. What I'm getting at is that these reverts can do what they want. If they learned enough about animal treatment to avoid animals that are victims of the industry's worst horrors, then in a way they have returned to the carny world as better people.
Maybe it's a good sign that they feel the need to lash out as they exit. Maybe it means they realize the enormity of what they've chosen to once again do. And that's still a realization that almost everyone you know doesn't realize.
So go ahead, reverts. Unleash your diatribes about how your body needs meat to function well. How it's not a matter of eating wisely or supplementation but rather how there's an optimal level of wellness for your body that simply can't be achieved without meat. I'm not a doctor; maybe you're right. Only you know how hard you tried to make it work for you.
Do what you want and eat what you want. But please, for just a minute, try to remember how you felt when you were on the receiving end of these attacks. Think about how disturbed it is for you to now be launching the same vicious criticisms that once made you question what you were doing or made what you were trying to do more difficult.. Try to remember how when you heard these criticisms, they rang like a bell of defensiveness and ignorance and self-righteous cruelty. Because that's exactly what you're doing now.

I.S.A. (International Survival Association) – B.E.A. (Bush Experience Academy) – FISSS
www.isasurvival.it / www.federazionesurvival.it
PROGRAM A.F.R.I.C.A. (African Full Ride Immersion – Comfort & Adventure) – KENYA
Seven days to learn how to live the East-Africa environments with qualified professionals of Safari and Outdoor Training. A rich and intense "old-fashioned" journey, in full comfort and safety, with all the variations of the classic and exclusive Safari, off the usual tourist routes, in the heart of an ancestral world still authentic and uncontaminated.
The experience described here, offered "all inclusive" services only in groups of a minimum of 4 and a maximum of 7 participants, can optionally include a training of theoretical and practical training on fauna and flora, survival techniques, exploration in the savannah and anthropology of the East Africa.
It requires only a minimum of climatic and behavioral adaptation and offers, on the other hand, a certain and unprecedented satisfaction, not only emotional but also cognitive and psycho-physical.
The African environment affected by the Safari has been defined by the paleo-anthropologists "the cradle of humanity". Our genre appeared in the late Pliocene Age in savannah, here our motor and emotional intelligence, the first technology on stone and, perhaps, the symbolic thought starting from Homo habilis, more than 2.5 million years ago, have developed. The first Homo sapiens passed through the oceanic east coast, and from the shores of South Africa they gradually radiated all over the planet from 200,000 years ago. Seven centuries ago, along the coast and on the monsoon routes, the Swahili economy, culture and language began; extraordinary fusion between the Arab and African world of which ethnic, archaeological and linguistic remains still exist.
It is therefore in these places that one can easily contract the truly dangerous disease: that yearning longing that is called "Africa's sickness". It's just like coming home after millions of years of absence and can not get away anymore. In some area everything is still all as in the origin and you can immerse yourself in the ecosystem of the first hominids from "re-explorers" in the Hemingwayan style; in search of strong sensations, new knowledge and different ethno-ecological sensitivities.
This journey includes everything you will need from the most reliable means of transport to the most accredited experts, from any kinds of comfort to objects for your knowledge (manuals and texts).
Even the accommodation, not only tourist but also "residential", represent the maximum standard that can be imagined for this experience and, where it is possible, also touch the privilege of luxury, without distorting for this the intimate relationship with the dominant wild environment .
The program, without additional costs, is also adaptable to particular needs of the participants. Some optional activities may have a character not only purely experiential but also documentary, scientific and even sports on demand (diving, walking safaris, photo-video safari, trekking, Outdoor & Survival training). Those who have reasons, even professional, to interpret this trip as an educational experience (teachers, university students, tour operators, instructors, nature guides) can request a specific adaptation and a certificate of participation to the organizing body and its partners (FISSS – Italian Federation Survival- and BEA- Bush Experience Academy).
The group will be assisted, from the arrival in Mombasa to the departure for Italy, by an experienced FISSS Instructor and, in the savannah, also by a BEA safari guide authorized to carry weapons, by expert drivers and local trackers.
This team of qualified professionals is prepared and equipped to face any eventuality and problem to protect the participants and ready to provide them with every additional necessary instrument.
Recommended luggage and safari clothing: a medium-sized, robust and light travel bag, plus a backpack or shoulder bag; long-sleeved shirts and long trousers in sturdy, lightweight, breathable and non-gaudy fabric; K-way; sweatshirt or light sweater; swimsuit; comfortable shoes, robust and not heavy; water-proof sandals, fastenable and with hard rubber sole; wide-brimmed hat or with a visor; Sun glasses; multipurpose knife; small front lamp; any photo camera and personal binoculars; mobile (there is a field almost everywhere).
DESCRIPTION OF THE PROGRAM
Flight Italy-Kenya with arrival in Mombasa (about 8 hours with charter flights and 12 with scheduled flights). Transfer from the airport by car (less than 2 hours) to the first accommodation on the south coast in a private residential resort equipped with every comfort and directly overlooking the ocean (location Msambweni, near the border with Tanzania). First day setting and relaxation; short walks on the beautiful shores and naturalistic observations. Breakfast, lunch, "happy hour" with aperitifs and dinner with lobster or mangrove crabs or fine local fish, with Swahili dishes and desserts, wine and cordial.
Short briefing on the program, the tides and the local population (with indications on useful behavior), observation of the stars and the equatorial constellations also with telescope.
During the day some optional activities will also be offered:
small hike on the coast (with low tide); observations of fish resources, and techniques of fishermen, notes on customs and the local economy; visit to an ancient Arab ruined stronghold, until two centuries ago destined to the stationing and the deportation of slaves; alternatively (if there is high tide) excursion in local canoe, dug in mango trunk, with sail and barbells (possibility of fishing with the crew); bath close to the coral reef; collection of coconuts on palm trees (climbing techniques, treatment and consumption of fresh fruits).
Breakfast and transfer to an authentic Swahili village on the island of Funzi near the coast (by boat or, for those who wish, on foot at low tide and through a mangrove jungle, with a guide).
Excursion by boat to go up the Ramisi river estuary and enter the gallery forest to spot birdlife and crocodiles. Visit to the traditional village, direct observations of daily practices, food processing, social life, furnishings and essential household tools. Bath offshore on an immaculate coral reef. Lunch based on mangrove crabs and locally caught fish. In the late afternoon return to the residential base for bathing in the sea or pool, sumptuous dinner and night in comfort.
3rd DAY
Breakfast and transfer to the Wasini marine park, on the border with Tanzania. Excursion in Dhow (the sailboat with Arab origin typical of the whole coast) through wild deserted islands, sailing among the dolphins. Stop on an islet, which emerges only at low tide, to observe with fins and mask the clear coral reefs rich in fish, turtles and colorful corals.
Lunch at the return, in the early afternoon, in a rustic Wasini restaurant that serves huge whole crabs (it is the tradition that every diner breaks the carapace with a special club). Optional visit to the "slave pit" of Shimoni (caves once used to collect slaves).
Return to the residence of Msambweni for the evening.
4th DAY
Breakfast and morning free to visit the village on foot or bathing. Lunch and transfer to the Shimba hills national park (coastal and hilly equatorial forest with extraordinary ecosystem full of every species of fauna, excluding lions). Dinner and overnight in a very suggestive local resort after a short safari on foot under the park ranger escort.
Departure by car from the coast after a breakfast at dawn, through the magical landscape of the Shimba hills, to an area adjacent to the Tsavo west national park. After about four hours you reach the private game reserve of Lualenyi. Its exclusive base camp, located on the slopes of a hill, overlooks an immense and superb savannah territory in view of Kilimanjaro and the Taita hills. After a challenging off-road trail in the last kilometers and a welcome drink, participants will be accommodated in large 2 or 3-seater luxury safari tents, furnished and equipped with services, electric sockets, indoor shower and veranda for meditative sessions on the breathtaking view. Almost immediately you can spot herds of elephants and hawks in flight.
After a hearty lunch and a little relaxation, in the afternoon there will be a briefing by the BEA expert on savannah fauna and flora (notions of animal ethology, characteristics and ecosystem protection, techniques of perception and observation of the wild, behavior from to adopt). It will follow towards sunset the first "game drive" in off-road in the bush, for the first close encounters with the real owners (theoretically all those of Tzavo); from buffaloes to zebras, from giraffes to lions. Already in this recognition the professional safari guide will be joined by a tracker of the Wa-liangulu ethnic group (until recently known elephant hunters with large arches) or by Maasai experts of the territory.
You will return to the camp in the dark, and immediately an aperitif is served outdoors, only in the light of a large fire, to relax and comment on the first experiences.
Later a superb dinner will be served, around the big table of a majestic living-lodge, open on the equatorial night and surrounded by endless kilometers of "elsewhere" without human presence, crowded of creatures always engaged in a ruthless and impelling survival, free of existential doubts like us. The perception of silence, total and almost implosive, interrupted only occasionally by mysterious sounds, here excites the imagination and warns the senses in an atavistic way. Those twenty meters of distance between the curtains the first night seem spaces of nothing disturbing; and to some such isolation for privacy will be, for once, even excessive. Even if one realizes that the security and protection of the watch's ascari inside the field fence are total, our brain, which is predominantly emotional, here is struggling to put its rational part into operation; and we return to being hominids lost in a universe that is only hosting us and that still does not belong to us at all.
Raised before dawn (optional but not to be missed). Rich breakfast and the Safari bill immediately begin, in the savannah that awakens in alien colors.
The slight buzz of the big Toyota at the minimum that has left the track and opens the way through the tall grass; the umbrella tortilla acacias; the candlestick euphorbias; the red termites; the shadows of the old tracker and the Maasai patrolling in the first sun.
At the beginning is the guide that always sees the animals first. While indicating the position and specifies the species in a low voice, because silence is a must, turn off the engine. Now it's time for binoculars or photo capture. Later on, the participants will be able to walk the reconnais on foot using the tracker with caution. They will be protected behind the guide (suitably and obligatorily armed) ready to help, signaling possible dangers and showing traces or eloquent signs of those presences that are coveted and feared together.
In national parks all this would be impossible; there in fact you can only stay in the car, distracted by the buzz of too many Japanese cameras and by the tourist buzz, like the zoo; and without that mix of expectation, seriousness, respect and amazement that every kind of adventure, even minimal, requires.
In Lualenyi it is not always guaranteed to see all the great savannah savages (it is easier in the national parks) but it is clear that they are around us and they see us. If they deign to appear it is exhilarating, but in any case it seems already miraculous to be next to them, to perceive their smells and to follow their fresh traces.
At high and relentless sunshine, we return to the field for lunch, which can be followed by other information, by the FISSS Instructor, on orientation techniques, principles of autonomy and safeguard in exploratory actions, methods for setting up a field provisional in the savannah (flying camp) and for the Survival (recover and potabilize the water, light a fire, build a safe shelter with a fence of thorny branches called "boom", face emergencies and dangers). In the afternoon there will be another "game drive" until sunset, to enjoy on the top of Lion Rock, a rocky rise that rises in the middle of the endless plain and home to lions, leopards and the old tomb of an Englishman too in love with the place . The sight of those immense silent spaces, interrupted only by Kilimanjaro on the horizon set on fire by the last sun, can alone be worth this trip.
All this to prepare the next (optional) experience of an overnight stay in the unknown, far from the base camp and in the heart of the bush, sheltered by a "boom" of thorns with a big fire in the middle, in the open or in light tents tactics but comfortable. Even dinner will be different, based on roasted meat and ugali (white corn polenta, a typical Kenyan dish). It will follow the kinds of classic comfort of African nights for those who drink and those who smoke. Sleep will certainly not come immediately; before alternating in the guards, the guides will entertain guests with stories and testimonies of many adventures (in any self-respecting Safari, this oral culture can not be missing). A thousand stars and a thousand eyes will shine in the dark; something strange will occasionally break the absurd silence and will be the subject of subtle interpretations. Until the dawn will not win the night as always.
Someone may have to hold back the irresistible impulse to sleep on the off-road vehicle next door, always ready in any case to transfer to base camp those who have second thoughts.
After having disassembled the camp and served coffee, the guides will take the group off-road to the base, lingering in other wildlife sightings. Those who wish will be able to face stronger emotions, appropriately escorted, doing part of the journey on foot.
Along the way they will find a rich lunch served at the table, but under a baobab in the middle of the savannah.
After a shower and a welcome rest at the base camp, leave the Lualenyi in the early afternoon and return to Mombasa in less than 4 hours with accommodation in a luxury hotel.
Depending on the flights, it will be possible to visit the old city, the Portuguese fort of the fifteenth century, the markets and traditional craft shops (the trips are easy on foot or by "tuc-tuc" – fast bikes). taxi cabs to three places and / or book a refined dinner on the bay, in front of the lights of a chaotic but fascinating metropolis. The transfer from the hotel to the airport takes about 20 minutes. The departure for Italy will involve a certain amount of sadness with nostalgia immediately guaranteed.
