Lancaster University Professor awarded Bernal Prize
Professor Brian Wynne Associate Director of Cesagen, Lancaster University awarded prestigious Bernal Prize.
The prestigious J D Bernal Prize has been awarded to Brian Wynne, Professor of Science Studies at the ESRC Centre for Economic and Social Aspects of Genomics (Cesagen) and the Centre for the Study of Environmental Change (CSEC) at Lancaster University, for his distinguished contribution to the social studies of science.
The Bernal Prize is the highest honour given by the Society for Social Studies of Science (4S), and is awarded annually. Previous recipients have included Donna Haraway, Karin Knorr Cetina, Sheila Jasanoff, Joseph Needham, Robert Merton, Thomas Kuhn, and Mary Douglas.
Professor Wynne was awarded the prize by Bernal Committee Chairman, Professor Alan Irwin at a banquet during the Society for Social Studies of Science (4S) Annual Meeting in Tokyo on Friday 27th August.
On learning that he would be receiving the award, Professor Wynne said:
"It is humbling to realise the stellar company in which this award places me. The insights which the field nurtured by 4S has struggled to develop and communicate over the last forty years are central to a much larger work which needs to be done. This is to imbue the new global relations between East and West, North and South, global and local, and the anxious instrumental frenzy of innovation which this fuels, with a genuinely cosmopolitan, adventurous, grounded humility in the knowledge which we claim gives us licence. The only proper response to this award is now to begin to try to earn it."

My doctor, the comedian
I called you every time
and made you laugh yourself
when I wrote this silly rhyme…
Each time I give lectures
or gather in the grants
you send me off to boarding school
in training pants.
God damn it, father-doctor,
I'm really thirty-six.
I see dead rats in the toilet.
I'm one of the lunatics.
Disgusted, mother put me
on the potty. She was good at this.
My father was fat on scotch.
It leaked from every orifice.
Oh the enemas of childhood,
reeking of outhouses and shame!
Yet you rock me in your arms
and whisper my nickname.
Or else you hold my hand
and teach me love too late.
And that's the hand of the arm
they tried to amputate.
Though I was almost seven
I was an awful brat.
I put it in the Easy Wringer.
It came out nice and flat.
I was an instant cripple
from my finger to my shoulder.
The laundress wept and swooned.
My mother had to hold her.
I know I was a cripple.
Of course, I'd known it from the start.
My father took the crowbar
and broke the wringer's heart.
The surgeons shook their heads.
They really didn't know–
Would the cripple inside of me
be a cripple that would show?
My father was a perfect man,
clean and rich and fat.
My mother was a brilliant thing.
She was good at that.
You hold me in your arms.
How strange that you're so tender!
Child-woman that I am,
you think that you can mend her.
As for the arm,
unfortunately it grew.
Though mother said a withered arm
would put me in Who's Who.
For years she has described it.
She sang it like a hymn.
By then she loved the shrunken thing,
my little withered limb.
My father's cells clicked each night,
intent on making money.
And as for my cells, they brooded,
little queens, on honey.
Oh boys too, as a matter of fact,
and cigarettes and cars.
Mother frowned at my wasted life.
My father smoked cigars.
My cheeks blossomed with maggots.
I picked at them like pearls.
I covered them with pancake.
I wound my hair in curls.
My father didn't know me
but you kiss me in my fever.
My mother knew me twice
and then I had to leave her.
But those are just two stories
and I have more to tell
from the outhouse, the greenhouse
where you draw me out of hell.
Father, I am thirty-six,
yet I lie here in your crib.
I'm getting born again, Adam,
as you prod me with your rib.

House budget chairman puts emphasis on spending cuts
Democrats fail to take fiscal instability seriously, says Paul Ryan, R-Wis.
Democrats are not taking the country's fiscal instability seriously, according to House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wis., who appeared on ABC's This Week Sunday to discuss President Obama's coming budget request, to be released Monday, and the payroll tax cut fight currently stalling the extension of several key tax provisions set to expire at the end of the month.
Ryan responded to White House Chief of Staff Jack Lew's assertion on the show that Congress "needs to get its work done."
"I think we will, but what we're trying to do is simply cut spending to pay for it," Ryan told host George Stephanopolous. "This payroll tax holiday loses money to the Social Security Trust Fund. And if you just extend this without paying for it by cutting spending, then you're accelerating the bankruptcy of Social Security."
"The president's party leaders are more or less not engaging in these conversations," Ryan added.
Ryan also anticipated that Obama's budget would not adequately address the unsustainable growth of entitlement obligations.
Asked if he was worried about Republicans losing the House this November because of controversial Medicare proposals included his budget last year, Ryan said he was not concerned even as he attempted to turn the charge of cutting care back on Obama.
"We're taking responsibility for dealing with the drivers of our debt," Ryan said. "You have to remember, George, that Medicare is going bankrupt, that the president's health care law puts a board of 15 unaccountable bureaucrats in charge of cutting Medicare, which will lead to denied care for seniors."

I retired from a life of hard work as a single mom almost three years ago and have been determined to stay home. I love being home and dug into affiliate marketing on the Internet as soon as I got settled in my new home deep in the East Texas Angelina Forest, four miles from Lake Sam Rayburn. The scenery in my little town of 200 residents is breathtaking.
I have the same story; I guess the mistakes are part of the learning curve because learning how this Internet works is a challenge, especially how traffic works. I put together a beautiful website all about how to grow disease free roses (my passion), and then set off to be an affiliate marketer for any product a person could use outdoors. Then nothing happened. I tried all kinds of advertising on my limited budget, all kinds of programs, mostly trying to learn what I was doing wrong. And I, too, ended up with debt because of all the programs I've tried. One problem I run into often is I am not as advanced on the computer to accomplish some of the steps involved, and there is no customer service to help you through the stumbling block. That brings me to the most important part of a successful business, in my opinion, is the back-up support. Worldprofit has so much to describe as "outstanding" where do I begin?
The 24/7 monitoring – where else do you find that feature? Dr. Lant is a "one-of-a-kind", brilliant with sales, teacher.
George Kosch – the most patient instructor I've met, giving encouragement, example, experience. His approach to teaching just clicked with me instantly. If I ever get discouraged, just going to one of George's recorded videos on any lesson I pick is enough to encourage me to keep going. The live bootcamps are my favorite place to be. I can ask questions, others ask questions, I learn so much. I am not opposed to spending much time devoted to following his directions because I see the potential of what is right before my eyes – the platform with all the tools to succeed, and the instructor to teach me how to use the tools. And at this point in my bootcamp – Lesson 3 – I am beginning to feel the switch from customer to business owner. I am seeing every product from the perspective of whether others would try it, buy it. It feels like a huge accomplishment to feel that mindset begin to enter. I am almost 90 days in the program as a Silver member and have begun to recognize the value of what I have found at Worldprofit.
Sandi Hunter – Now, let's talk about customer service, which I believe is the backbone of any business. The 24/7 access is the most comforting feature provided to me. What is better than a support system that is always there for you, like a safety net? And it is everyone at Worldproft. George is always accessible through support, any help we need is available. And the live center feature is another area I like to just check into if Dr. Lant is there, which is most of the time, and just listen to him teach. It is a lesson in itself to just listen and watch the monitors work.
To really put it clearly, for me, Worldprofit is personal contact with a huge family that will help me achieve my "bucket list" of goals. Like Linda Else always says, I find this fun, also! By the way, even her personal touch, seeing her picture on an ad I click on surfing, makes me feel close to the family, it is a warm feeling that brings the associates in, and I thank you for that presentation. It is awesome. I honestly could write on and on the benefits I am realizing I have stumbled upon. The strongest pull for me is the fact that a real person is at bootcamp, everyone associated with Worldprofit.com is easy to access if we need help. That is like finding a gold mine for me at the level I am on the computer. That is why I appreciate the place to ask questions, the videos to listen to over and over until I get it, even George's soothing voice is reassuring. Every time I listen and watch his instructions, I learn one or more things. The creativity and brilliance combined at the foundation of Worldprofit is what makes it so amazing. The help tools you create, George, as you teach. The brilliance of your own Silver membership. Keep up the videos – your first one helped me so much!
And, thank you, Sandi, for everything you do. I browsed your social website for a while yesterday, read some articles that were outstanding. Honestly, I have really neglected most of the site, promoting everyday as instructed. I will explore and discover everything as I grow, I'm sure. For right now, the challenge of learning each safelist and traffic exchange, downlines, surfing…….WHEW….is plenty enough to keep me busy several hours a day.
In closing, I would sure hope to emphasize how important it is to have some sort of an organized system in place for all the records we need to keep. Many tools are in-house to help me organize, and this is a tremendous help I am implementing, a little each day. Thank you so much for all of the invaluable "time savers" I am enjoying as a Silver member.
I'm off to promote believing I will pull in an associate or more today. See you at Bootcamp!

Is Learning Part of Your Company Culture?
Have you ever wondered what the Spice Girls would be like now if they had stayed together? We sure have! Sadly, we can only imagine the incredible tunes they might have produced if they had been allowed to grow and evolve within the group instead of being trapped in their predetermined 'roles'. Today's workforce is much like Posh, Ginger, Sporty, Scary, and Baby: they need to be in an environment where their learning and development opportunities are supported.
If denied that learning culture, they will quickly move on.
So, what can you do about it? How can you create a strong learning culture in your company?
Let's explore what a training and development culture looks like, and why it's so vital.
Is Learning Part of Your Company Culture?
What Does A Learning Culture Look Like?
Because every business is different, there's no one-size-fits-all prescription for a learning culture. Each business should create development and training opportunities that fit into the values and culture that already exists.
However, there are commonalities.
Training and development is not merely a "ticking the boxes" kind of activity. It's a strategy that encompasses all the ways your people share, support, and learn together, both on individual and collective levels.
It's about connecting the dots and understanding that individual learning is the foundation for collective success.
Opportunities Are Everywhere
Traditionally, training meant sending your staff to lengthy courses and trying to cover their time out of the office. Now, development opportunities can take place both inside and outside the workplace.
The standard 70:20:10 model suggests that a mere 10 percent of learning occurs at formal training sessions, 20 percent from informal studying, and a whopping 70 percent is on the job development.
Online courses are extremely popular, but less structured opportunities to learn, such as YouTube videos or TED talks, can be equally effective. Find the tools and resources to fit your team.
People Enablement Is Where It's At
The concept of people enablement was trending a few years ago and is still growing in popularity.
Rather than a static progression along a pre-defined pathway, organisations are focusing on a learning culture that allows employees to gain valuable experience, explore new skillsets, and reinvent themselves.
Training opportunities could look different for each team member, depending on their skillset, progression ambitions and availability.
Integrate Development Plans
Performance and development go hand in hand, so development plans should be part of your toolkit. Employee reviews and catchups should have a heavy focus on growth and development. They should be created as a two-way discussion with employees, where you both identify the support and tools needed for success.
It's a great opportunity to speak with each team member about the areas they want to improve in and how the business can enable them to skill up.
The Delicious Side Effects of A Culture Of Learning
Providing development opportunities to your team drives employee engagement and strengthens your culture. The benefits are numerous and include:
Employee Retention
The modern workforce, particularly Millennials and Gen Z, highly value learning and development. If they can see opportunities to upskill within an organisation with a robust, built-in learning culture, they are likely to be fulfilled and won't need to seek opportunities elsewhere.
In fact, 93 percent of employees say they will remain at an organisation that invests in their development and training. Not only will you retain your best employees, but you will also save money by reducing employee turnover.
To attract top talent, your organisation needs to become an employer of choice. Having a successful culture of learning builds your brand and makes you more attractive to skilled employees. This reputation will generate a better quality of candidate.
Improved Performance
At the most basic level, training helps people perform their tasks efficiently. Enhanced efficiency equals enhanced productivity. But beyond this, there are other tangible benefits, such as increased confidence, innovation, and creativity, a problem-solving mindset, and improved morale.
People development initiatives are just one piece of the puzzle in building an engaged, exciting, and high performing team. Your employees are your biggest asset, so it makes perfect sense that an investment in their knowledge and skills is an investment in your organisation, too.
Don't let your team drift apart to make their own opportunities like the Spice Girls did… provide them with opportunities to grow, learn, and experiment, and you'll stay strong for years to come!
If you would like to discuss how this could look in your business, then get in touch with us here at Spice HR. We can help you create a people and culture development program that will make your company an enviable place to work! Drop us a line today.

prayer.cf - main Prayer configuration fileDESCRIPTION
prayer.cf is the configuration file of prayer(8) and prayer-session8.SYNTAX
For the most part, prayer.cf consists of option = value pairs, but some configuration items are more complex. All values may be enclosed in double quotes, which are stripped. Quotes must be used if a value contains a `#' character. Otherwise, everything following it is treated as a comment. Any line can be folded using a `\' character at the end of the line; any linear white space at the beginning of the next line is removed.Simple options can be of the following types:
- Vt string
- No particular restrictions.
- Vt path
- A file or directory name. The configuration parser expands occurences of a few macros in settings of this type. See prefix and var_prefix below.
- Vt boolean
- The following forms are interpreted as true `true' , `t' , and `1' The following forms are interpreted as false `false' , `nil' , `0' Capitalisation does not matter.
- Vt number
- An integer number (sequence of digits 0-9), optionally immediately followed by a single letter `K' , causing the number to be multiplied by 1024, or `M' multiplying it by 1024 pc 1024.
- Vt time
- An integer number (sequence of digits 0-9) of seconds, optionally immediately followed by a single case-insignificant letter `s' , which has no effect, `m' , causing the number to be multiplied by 60, `h' , multiplying it by 60 pc 60, or `d' , for a multiple of 24 pc 60 pc 60.
- Vt perm
- A file permission mode; an octal number of exactly four digits, where the first digit must be 0.
- prefix Vt ( string ) , var_prefix Vt ( string
- The values of these options can be referred to as $prefix (or ${prefix} ) and $var_prefix (or ${var_prefix} ) respectively, in settings of type Vt path in the rest of the file.
Default : none. Need to be set only if referenced later.
- prayer_user Vt ( string ) , prayer_uid Vt ( number
- User name or ID to setuid(2) to if started as root. Either, but not both, must be set and must not specify uid 0 Default none.
- prayer_group Vt ( string ) , prayer_gid Vt ( number
- Group name or ID to setgid(2) to if we start off as root. In addition, prayer calls initgroups(3) if prayer_user is set. Default none.
- prayer_background Vt ( boolean
- Run prayer as background process. If true, prayer will return as soon as valid configuration is found. Default : true
- file_perms Vt ( perm
- Create mode for new files. Default : 0640 if prayer_uid or prayer_user is set, otherwise 0644
- directory_perms Vt ( perm
- Create mode for new directories. Default : 0750 if prayer_uid or prayer_user is set, otherwise 0755
- check_directory_perms Vt ( boolean
- Check existing directories under ${var_prefix}
Mail server settings
- imapd_server Vt ( string
- Specifies the default IMAP server(s) using libc-client syntax:
Multiple server specifications can be listed, separated by commas. Common flags are:
- /ssl
- Use SSL-on-connect (on port 993 by default).
- /tls
- Force use of TLS (using STARTTLS on the normal IMAP port) to encrypt the session. Recommended if the server is remote, since otherwise a downgrade attack is possible.
- /notls
- Don't issue STARTTLS even if the server supports it. Recommended if the server is localhost
- /novalidate-cert
- Don't check the integrity of the server certificate.
For the full list of flags, see naming.txt.gz in the current libc-client package.
- imapd_user_map Vt ( path
- CDB lookup map overriding default imapd_server location. For information on CDB, see
- http://cr.yp.to/cdb.html
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constant_Data_Base
- prefs_folder_name Vt ( string
- Name of Prayer user preferences folder on IMAP server.
- use_namespace ( Vt boolean
- Use IMAP NAMESPACE command to find personal_hierarchy and hiersep Default : true
- personal_hierarchy ( Vt string
- If not supplied by NAMESPACE. Default :
- hiersep ( Vt string
- If not supplied by NAMESPACE. Default : /
- dualuse ( Vt boolean
- Hint to Prayer that new mailboxes are dual use (i.e. can contain both mail and inferior mailboxes). Things will mostly work if dualuse set to false on a server which supports it, but people will be unable to create children of newly created mailboxes without refreshing the view.
Default : false
- sieved_server Vt ( string
- Talk to Cyrus timsieved using MANAGESIEVE protocol. Syntax is similar to imapd_server except the only recognised flag is /ssl
- sieved_user_map Vt ( path
- Can be used to provide individualised imapd_server settings in the form of a CDB file.
- sieved_timeout Vt ( time
- Default timsieved timeout is 10 minutes
Mail domain configuration
- local_domain
- Define a valid local domain, and optionally the valid local parts in that domain. This is a special directive that can appear multiple times and does not use an equals sign:
local_domain domain [map ]
Without map , local_domain simply defines a domain which will appear on the list visible to user preferences. With map it also defines a list a CDB map file which defines valid entries in that domain; used for personal name expansion and checking for valid addresses: The keys are the valid local parts and the values are the corresponding full names of the users.
Default : A single entry which corresponds to default_domain
- return_path_domain Vt ( string
- Domain used in the return address given to sendmail(8). Default : the default domain.
- filter_domain_pattern Vt ( string
- A filter pattern which is equivalent to, or at least approximates the list of local domains. Default : the default domain.
- hostname Vt ( string
- Hostname is the canonical name for this particular system, used in session and icon URLs which are generated by Prayer. This is derived automatically using gethostname(2) and gethostbyname(3) if no value is provided. However, there are situations, especially involving SSL certificates, where the default hostname may not be appropriate. The special value `__UNDEFINED__' here means the startup script or command line must provide a hostname using a --config-option override or via the environment variable PRAYER_HOSTNAME This is just a safeguard for systems which use DNS round robining to distribute load across a number of machines.
- hostname_service Vt ( string
- Host name common for all Prayer installations part of the same webmail service. (Only) useful for large installations using DNS round robin for load balancing (example: webmail.hermes.cam.ac.uk is an alias for webmail[123].hermes.cam.ac.uk). This setting is used for two things: The user is redirected to this hostname after logging out, and HTTP requests are sanity checked against it in addition to the canonical hostname.
Default : none
- fix_from_address ( Vt boolean
- suppresses the From address option from the Preferences and Roles screens. Default : false
- lookup_rpasswd ( Vt path
- Path to a CDB file that maps arbitrary search keys to colon- or comma-separated lists of user names. Note : Keys must be lowercase Prayer converts search strings to lowercase in order to provide case-insensitive lookup.
- lookup_rusername ( Vt path
- Path to a second CDB file that maps arbitrary search keys to colon- or comma-separated lists of user names.
If the user enters a valid and existing username according to getpwnam(3),PrayerdoesnotsearchthesefirsttwoCDBfiles, but skips directly to the second stage of looking up user information.
- lookup_username ( Vt path
- Path to a CDB file that maps usernames to records consisting of the user's ``registered name'' and his/her affiliation (department), separated by a vertical bar `(' | ) . Additionally, if a second vertical bar follows, the account is regarded as cancelled.
When presenting the search results, the usernames found are combined with the default_domain to form email addresses. It is not possible at this time to let users search for addresses in more than one domain using this facility.
- lookup_fullname ( Vt path
- Path to a CDB file that maps usernames to ``display names , '' possibly provided by the users themselves in some way. The display name of a user is used together with the email address in recipient fields
Note that all four lookup options must be set to valid CDB files for the local lookup to work, but more than one option may conceivably point to the same file.
- ldap_server ( Vt string
- Name or address of LDAP server.
- ldap_base_dn ( Vt string
- Base DN to search. After binding anonymously, Prayer performs a one-level-scope search for entries with surname or mail attributes containing the search string. The following attributes are fetched and presented:
- uid
- displayName
- cn ``( registered name''
- ou ``( affiliation''
- telephoneNumber
- ldap_timeout ( Vt time
- Search timeout. Default : 30s
HTTP and other frontend settings
- use_http_port , use_https_port
- Define a single HTTP[S] port to bind to. You can define an arbitary list of ports of both kinds by using a series of separate use_http_port and use_https_port directives, with one port on each line. Syntax:
use_http_port [interface : port ] use_https_port [interface : port ]
interface can be an IP (v4 or v6) address or a hostname. If provided, it is passed to getaddrinfo(3) for resolution, and the first resulting address is used to bind to. Otherwise, prayer(8) binds to port on all interfaces.
- ssl_default_port Vt ( number
- Prayer will put a warning on the login page for HTTP connections if both HTTP and HTTPS sessions are available. This will provide a link to the SSL version of the service, defaulting to port 443 or failing that the first defined HTTPS port. ssl_default_port overrides the built in logic.
Should be rarely required now that Prayer automatically derives an appropriate port if none is provided here.
- ssl_cert_file Vt ( path
- Locatation of SSL certificate file (only used if SSL ports defined). Required if we are going to provide SSL services.

- Dump core on Fn fatal error. Default : false.
- log_debug Vt ( boolean

- http_max_hdr_size Vt ( number
- Maximum for headers associated with this request.

- icon_expire_timeout Vt ( time
- The amount of time in the future to set the HTTP Expires: field for static content. Default : 7d (In contrast sessions URLs expire immediately: Browsers really shouldn't be trying to cache this stuff, especially when it is coming in over HTTPS).

Hatch Bank confirmed a data breach that compromised its customers' personal data. The financial technology firm said hackers found a vulnerability in its internal file-transfer software. This allowed the hackers to access and steal around 140,000 customer names and social security numbers from Jan. 30-31, 2023.
Hatch is using Fortra's GoAnywhere file-transfer platform. Many other large businesses also use GoAnywhere to share sensitive files.
Hatch Bank Left in the Dark About Software's Vulnerability
In late January, Fortra issued a security advisory that revealed the vulnerability in its software. But the tech company did not make its advisory public. Users had to enter their login details to see it. It was security journalist Brain Krebs who shared details of the advisory to the public a few days later.
Hatch claims that Fortra did not inform it about this vulnerability until a day after Krebs' report.
Who Is Behind the Data Breach?
While Hatch did not identify the group behind the security breach, the Clop ransomware gang is taking the credit. Clop claims it is behind the data breach and had already attacked over 130 organizations. But the information security and technology news agency could
not confirm the gang's claims.
The Clop ransomware gang has already tried to demand a ransom of $10 million for stolen data.
How Did Hatch Bank Address the Cyberattack?
Hatch reported the incident to federal law enforcement authorities. It filed the report with the Office of the Maine Attorney General.
The fintech firm assured customers that it has taken immediate steps to secure its files after learning about the cyberattack. It also launched a comprehensive review of relevant files to assess the attack's impact on customers' information.
Additionally, Hatch is providing affected customers free access to credit monitoring services for one year. It is also implementing additional safeguards for its internal systems, including additional employee cybersecurity training.
The Bottom Line: Secure Software May Still Be Vulnerable
Many businesses and organizations use Fortra's GoAnywhere file-transfer platform because it is secure. But even the most secure software and tools can still be vulnerable to attacks. That is because cybercriminals continue to advance their skills. And they use these skills to look for and exploit loopholes in the system. As such, businesses should not be complacent. They need to have contingency measures in place so they can protect their customers' personal data in case of a security breach. These measures will help them retain customer confidence and protect their reputation.

You may best know the guinea pig as a nervous little pet that lives in a cage and eats alfalfa pellets.
Now, the rodents are increasingly showing up on plates in the United States.
South American restaurants on both coasts seem to be pushing the trend, answering to demand mostly from Andean expats for what is considered a fine and valuable food in Ecuador, Peru and Colombia. Middle-class foodies with a taste for exotic delicacies are also ordering, photographing and blogging about guinea pig. The animals — called cuyes in Spanish — are usually cooked whole, often grilled, sometimes deep fried. Many diners eat every last morsel, literally from head to toe.
But there may be more to gain from eating guinea pig than bizarre foods bragging rights. According to activists, eating guinea pig is good for the environment.
Matt Miller, an Idaho-based science writer with The Nature Conservancy, says rodents and other small livestock represent a low-impact meat alternative to carbon-costly beef. Miller, who is writing a book about the ecological benefits of eating unconventional meats, visited Colombia several years ago. At the time, he says, conservation groups were expressing concern about local ranchers clearing forest to provide pasture for their cattle — activity that was causing erosion and water pollution.
"They were encouraging people to switch from cattle to guinea pigs," Miller says. "Guinea pigs don't require the land that cattle do. They can be kept in backyards, or in your home. They're docile and easy to raise."
The Little Rock-based humanitarian organization Heifer International, which assists communities in enhancing their economies and streamlining local food production, is also promoting guinea pig husbandry in Peru, Ecuador and Guatemala. Jason Woods, the nonprofit's Americas regional program assistant, says guinea pigs — which he says usually weigh no more than 2 pounds — are twice as efficient as cows at turning food, like hay and compost scraps, into meat: To render a pound of meat, a cow, he explains, may require 8 pounds of feed. A guinea pig only needs 4.
To help start a home guinea pig farm, Heifer International typically supplies a family with one male and seven females. In just months, such a collection may have doubled in size. Woods says a guinea pig herd consisting of two males and 20 females can sustain itself while providing meat for a family of six.
In the United States, most guinea pigs intended for human consumption come from Peru as whole, frozen, hairless rodents in plastic bags.
The Salt contacted several federal regulatory agencies, including USDA and Fish and Wildlife, but none seemed to track guinea pig imports. However, we spoke with the owners of two Peruvian food importers who said cuy consumption in the United States is certainly rising. Neither would speak on record, but each said they are now importing more guinea pigs than ever before.
At one company, in Connecticut, imports have nearly doubled since 2008 — from 600 guinea pigs per year then to more than 1,000 today.
Urubamba, a Peruvian restaurant in Queens, wasn't serving guinea pig at all eight years ago. Since then, demand has climbed every year, according to Carlos Atorga, who opened Urubamba in 1976.
Now, Urubamba customers can expect cuy on the menu about one weekend each month. The animals go for $17 a plate, each cuy splayed down the middle like a lobster and served with a front leg and a back, an eye, an ear and a nostril.
In San Francisco, Diego Oka, a native of Peru and the executive chef of La Mar Cebicheria, serves imported Peruvian cuy every summer around Peru's July 28 Independence Day. Oka marinates and deep-fries his guinea pigs for a dish called cuy chactado. He says the nose, ears and fingery little hands are the best bites of all — but Oka removes the animals' extremities to avoid offending sensitive diners.
In Los Angeles, Helen Springut, co-founder of the adventurous eaters club Gastronauts, says guinea pig is a food worth pursuing only as a cultural experience. She says the meat can be tough and stringy.
I ate a quarter of a grilled guinea pig recently during a cycling trip in Ecuador. The sinewy meat was dry and sparse, and I went away hungry. But others describe what sounds like a different creature.
Miller at The Nature Conservancy says guinea pig is "delicious, very tender and hard to compare to anything else" — not even chicken. Chef Astorga at Urubamba says cuy — which he describes as "about the size of a squirrel" — has "tender flesh and very tender skin." La Mar Cebicheria's Chef Oka says cuy is "very oily, like pork combined with rabbit."
While guinea pig may be attaining star status as a hold-your-nose-and-roll-the-camera bizarre food, whether an animal so favored as a pet in the United States will become a mainstream piece of protein is, perhaps, doubtful.
"There's a clear cultural prejudice against eating guinea pigs, and rodents in general, in the United States," Miller says. "But finding ways to reduce our carbon footprint is a good idea, and so is eating small livestock, like guinea pigs."

The Well at the World's End, by William Morris, [1896], at sacred-texts.com
Clement Tells of Goldburg
Now when it was morning he rose early and roused Bull and the captain, and they searched in divers places where they had not been the night before, and even a good way back about the road they had ridden yesterday, but found no tidings. And Ralph said to himself that this was naught but what he had looked for after that vision of the night.
So he rode with his fellows somewhat shamefaced that they had seen that sudden madness in him; but was presently of better cheer than he had been yet. He rode beside Clement; they went downhill speedily, and the wilderness began to better, and there was grass at whiles, and bushes here and there. A little after noon they came out of a pass cleft deep through the rocks by a swift stream which had once been far greater than then, and climbed up a steep ridge that lay across the road, and looking down from the top of it, beheld the open country again. But this was otherwise from what they had beheld from the mountain's brow above Cheaping Knowe. For thence the mountains beyond Whiteness, even those that they had just ridden, were clear to be seen like the wall of the plain country. But here, looking adown, the land below them seemed but a great spreading plain with no hills rising from it, save that far away they could see a certain break in it, and amidst that, something that was brighter than the face of the land elsewhere. Clement told Ralph that this was Goldburg and that it was built on a gathering of hills, not great, but going up steep from the plain. And the plain, said he, was not so wholly flat and even as it looked from up there, but swelled at whiles into downs and low hills. He told him that Goldburg was an exceeding fair town to behold; that the lord who had built it had brought from over the mountains masons and wood-wrights and artificers of all kinds, that they might make it as fair as might be, and that he spared on it neither wealth nor toil nor pains. For in sooth he deemed that he should find the Well at the World's End, and drink thereof, and live long and young and fair past all record; therefore had he builded this city, to be the house and home of his long-enduring joyance.
Now some said that he had found the Well, and drank thereof; others naysaid that; but all deemed that they knew how that Goldburg was not done building ere that lord was slain in a tumult, and that what was then undone was cobbled up after the uncomely fashion of the towns thereabout.
Clement said moreover that, this happy lord dead, things had not gone so well there as had been looked for. Forsooth it had been that lord's will and meaning that all folks in Goldburg should thrive, both those who wrought and those for whom they wrought. But it went not so, but there were many poor folk there, and few wealthy.
Again said Clement that though the tillers and toilers of Goldburg were not for the most part mere thralls and chattels, as in the lands beyond the mountains behind them, yet were they little more thriving for that cause; whereas they belonged not to a master, who must at worst feed them, and to no manor, whose acres they might till for their livelihood, and on whose pastures they might feed their cattle; nor had they any to help or sustain them against the oppressor and the violent man; so that they toiled and swinked and died with none heeding them, save they that had the work of their hands good cheap; and they forsooth heeded them less than their draught beasts whom they must needs buy with money, and whose bellies they must needs fill; whereas these poor wretches were slaves without a price, and if one died another took his place on the chance that thereby he might escape present death by hunger, for there was a great many of them.

As far as challenges, editing and word processing were a huge part of it, just getting it to the point where I felt satisfied with it. I take my work very seriously, and I can be very much a perfectionist with it. For me, self-publishing has been a great tool of expression and empowerment. I love that I have full reign as a publisher, that I can design the book inside and out and keep the chapters just as I want them. Another difficulty with self-publishing is the stigma attached to it, since anyone can self-publish, but that doesn't mean my book or many others are not legitimate works. Readers have thusfar enjoyed Roeing Oaks, and that's the point of it anyway.
2. What inspired you to write Roeing Oaks?
My faith was a big inspiration for Roeing Oaks. After watching a modern Cinderella movie that I loved, I found myself questioning if there was ever a true Prince Charming. Who among us is that perfectly delightful? Then I got to thinking according to my faith how Jesus was the only perfect man to have ever walked the planet, and how for me personally he has been something of a Prince Charming, spiritually speaking. The idea for the book began to take form, and Mr. Roeing became a kind of prototype to demonstrate the great goodness of Jesus, and portray his complexity alongside an interesting storyline. He is not the main character, however. Researching nineteenth century England with its intriguing system of nobility and its own complexities, I was able to flesh out the story with historical facts.
3. The premise of this story is of a husband who auctions his wife off so that he can marry another. Was this a common occurrence in Victorian England or a plot device of your creation? Is it all the more shocking because the family was members of the nobility?
I actually did not create this scenario! It really did happen in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, though generally it happened in rural communities, and not all that often by the Victorian era, but it has been documented as happening all the way through to the twentieth century. It had to do with the wife being the husband's legal possession, and the cost of divorce was prohibitively expensive. Since women were not self-supporting in those days another way to look at the practice of wife-selling, which did take place at auctions, was that the unhappily married husband cared enough to make sure her needs would be provided for upon separating from her instead of simply abandoning her, as many husbands did. It is also noted historically, true or untrue, that the wife would have been a consenting party to the sale.
The twist in Roeing Oaks is that the family was a noble family, for whom divorce was affordable but included obtaining an Act of Parliament and enduring a humiliating public trial, necessary if a legal re-marriage was on the agenda. Our clever character found a way around all that by taking his wife to auction at a cattle market far from home and creating lies that she deserted him for another man. Alleged desertion and adultery charges proved enough for Alistair Percy to get his legal divorce granted.
4. Was it difficult to find historical evidence during your research for this book? Were any of the characters in the novel based off of real historical people?
5. The way Roeing Oaks ends, should we expect that there is a sequel in the works? What are you currently working on?
There is a sequel in the works, which I am passionate about. There is so much more to Kate's story! I am also working on an unrelated present-day novel, which I hope to be finished with at about the same time.
6. What are some things you enjoy doing when you aren't writing?
The older I get the more important family and friends are to me, so I try to keep myself available for spending time with them. Exploring is important to me, whether by traveling, reading, or getting to know people who are different from myself. I also enjoy cooking and hearing/playing music, singing…the list goes on. Life should be enjoyed!

Mold Damage and Restoration in Lakeshore
The ease with which mold can spread through your Lakeshore home can be frightening. Any home with a form of central air and heating system is susceptible to the quick spread of dangerous mold spores. Active mold sites frequently release spores. These travel easily through the air, often finding moist areas in the bathroom or kitchen sinks, bathtubs, toilets or other fixtures to land on and begin another area of growth. The cycle repeats, causing more health issues to everyone in your home.
We will inspect your home by taking an air sample and doing a moisture inspection to precisely locate and isolate the area where spores may be present. We will provide an estimate and create a step-by-step plan with you to begin an affordable mold remediation procedure. Post-remediation, we will once again inspect the air to ensure all mold spores are eradicated.
If you need a mold remediation service in your Lakeshore neighborhood home, call us today at (415) 529-5637 to have one of our experts test your home and begin the mold elimination process.

OnDemand | Understanding Human Behavior: Tackling Retail's ATO & Fraud Prevention Challenge
With the rapid changing threat landscape, protecting your enterprise from breaches and account takeover fraud has never been a bigger challenge.
Retail and merchant fraud teams have the challenges of understanding customer identities and human behaviors regardless of how many devices, accounts, profiles, and addresses they use. One-size-fits-all identity verification methods use black-box approaches, create more friction and are only effective for customer onboarding.
Effective modern-day fraud prevention requires a holistic data-driven approach with a bird's eye view into the context of potential fraud.
Register for this engaging panel discussion to learn about:
- The anatomy of an account takeover attack
- How to stop ATO and other attacks at every customer interaction point (applications, logins, transactions, etc.)
- Embracing a concept of Know Your Attacker, rather than Know Your Customer through a data-centric approach that puts customer identity at the forefront of every decision
