Infectious disease outbreaks can be scary and can affect our mental health. While it is important to stay informed, there are also many things we can do to support and manage our wellbeing during such times. And as the COVID-19 pandemic and its far-reaching implications continue to unfold globally and dominate the headlines and public concern, its normal for people to experience a wide range of thoughts, feelings and reactions.

Fear and anxiety about a disease can be overwhelming and cause strong emotions in adults and children. Coping with stress will make us, the people we care about, and our community stronger. So, how can we be positive influencers on ourselves, family, friends and community?

When many things feel uncertain or out of our control, one of the most effective ways we can manage stress and anxiety is to focus on the actions that are in our control. Here are some ways we can take intentional steps to look after our physical and emotional wellbeing during this challenging time:

During this time of change, its natural for our minds to think of all the usual activities we may not be able to do at the moment. Make a conscious shift to focus on the activities we are still able to do, or those that we may have more opportunity to do if were at home more often.

What is happening now is out of our desire but we have the key to make it a great life-changing experienc.

Letter to the Editor: Root of disparity stems from broken families and not race – williamsonherald.com

Posted on by

To the editor,

There are hundreds of young people, middle schoolers and high schoolers, in Franklin holding up signs that say Black Lives Matter.

I wonder if they really understand what this is all about?

There have been several tragedies in which police have used excessive force against Black men. There is no excuse for what they have done, and they should be prosecuted to the highest letter of the law.

The Black Lives Matter movement wants to call attention to all of these incidents in the hopes of making America less anti-Black going forward. While commendable, I respectfully submit they are expending energy in the wrong direction. The movement would be much better served to preach about the structure of the family in Black homes.

There is a widespread belief that race is a major explanatory cause of crime. This belief is anchored in the large disparity in crime rates between white people and Black people. However, a closer look at the data shows that the real variable is not race, but family structure and all that it implies in commitment and love between adults.

The incidence of broken families is much higher in the Black community. Douglas Smith and G. Roger Jarjoura, in a major 1988 study of 11,000 individuals, found that the percentage of single-parent households with children between the ages of 12 and 20 is significantly associated with rates of violent crime and burglary.

The same study makes clear that the widespread popular assumption that there is an association between race and crime is false. Illegitimacy is the key factor. It is the absence of marriage, and the failure to form and maintain intact families, that explains the incidence of high crime in a neighborhood among white people as well as Black people. This contradicts conventional wisdom.

A ministry for college basketball coaches to assist them in being better mentors for their players found that 77% of all college basketball players came from a one-parent or no-parent family.

As long as there continues to be an absence of Black fathers in the home, there will continue to be problems between police officers and Black men. It has, in my opinion, little to do with prejudice or intentional abuse of a race.

While providing a voice toward justice and equality, men such as the Rev. Jesse Jackson, the Rev. Al Sharpton and countless other Black ministers, have not, in my opinion, done nearly enough to convert young Black men from an early age to understand that their childrens ability to avoid crime, thus avoiding abuse, and some might deem that obtaining equality, is in their ability to be fathers in the home.

Getting married, staying married, showing up every day in every facet of a childs development, showing tough love, dishing out punishment, helping them build character, thus building a family structure that will lead to low crime in Black communities and less need for police involvement of any kind.

Show me that movement and Ill join you in the streets.

How cohousing communities can help seniors sustain quality of life

Issue Date: 8/5/2020Last Updated: 8/4/2020 9:50:03 PM |By David Erickson, Missoulian

Montana is the oldest state west of the Mississippi, and demographic projections show the state growing collectively older as more Montanans enter their senior years. The economic,cultural, and personal impacts of that trend present the state and its residents with new challenges and, with those challenges, opportunities.

Graying Pains is a series of weekly stories and broadcasts exploring those challenges and opportunities in communities statewide. By investigating how other communities have responded to the issues raised by aging, Graying Pains hopes to point the way toward policies and innovations that can help Montana, and Montanans, improve with age.

The series is produced by the Montana Fourth Estate Project, a collaboration among 13 Montana newsrooms and the University of Montana School of Journalism coordinated by Montana Free Press under the auspices of the Montana Newspaper Association and the Solutions Journalism Network. See montanafourthestate.org for the collected Graying Pains stories and more information.

__________________________

Could senior cooperative housing, a model gaining popularity in states with aging populations, be the solution to alleviating social isolation and population loss in Montanas rural small towns?

In Montanas rural counties, where demographic trends show large numbers of young people leaving for the states fast-growing urban areas, the need for elderly housing solutions is going to become increasingly important.

These communities are losing population and growing older. But many seniors in these communities dont want to leave because they know their neighbors and have spent decades as leaders in the community. Housing options for the elderly are few and far between in these areas. Older farmhouses are often poorly equipped for people to age in place, as they often have stairs and require lots of maintenance. Many small towns lack assisted living facilities or nursing homes, and many senior citizens dont need or want that type of round-the-clock care, preferring a more independent lifestyle.

Across the United States, especially in places like Florida, Arizona and California, senior cooperative housing organized around the concepts of resident control and sustaining independence with minimal services is becoming an appealing model. Cooperative housing usually includes independently owned living units, such as condos or houses, arranged around a communal gathering space with some shared activities.

Senior cooperative housing communities are different from assisted living facilities or retirement communities because theyre not usually developed by outside entities, and residents take charge of programming, forming boards that govern everything from landscaping to occupancy. They often include shared kitchen facilities, outdoor areas and rooms where visitors can stay.

What attracts older adults to senior cohousing is the desire for greater social engagement, for a new old-fashioned neighborhood, as one member put it, said Sherry Cummings, a former professor of social work at the University of Tennessee Knoxville who co-authored a book about the facilities. Theyre designed so people see each other a lot. They typically get together for several meals or activities each week. They help one another out with practical tasks, such as driving someone to the airport, and support each other through crisis situations.

In 2016, the Montana Cooperative Development Center funded a feasibility study on the prospects for new housing cooperatives in the Northern Rockies. The study documented a high degree of interest in the development of housing cooperatives as a potential strategy to address a number of housing needs in the northern Rockies.

Jill Eversole Nolan, a retired Ohio State University faculty member, co-authored a study on rural cooperative housing for older adults for the Journal of Extension in 2001, aimed at giving extension offices information for people curious about the facilities.

Cooperative housing for older adults would most certainly be a viable option in Montana, she said in an interview with the Missoulian earlier this year.

Eversole Nolan completed her doctorate on quality of life for older adults in rural communities, with a focus on senior cooperative housing. In reviewing the literature, older adults wanted to stay in the community where they had lent their leadership and where they had family, she said. Their friends were there, their farm was there, but as dynamics changed many of the children would go off and not return to the farm, so they were at an age where they could not maintain the farm but they still wanted to stay in the community. But there were not housing opportunities.

Eversole Nolan visited cooperative living communities for those age 55 and older in rural towns in the Midwest and in the southeastern United States. I interviewed one woman that was 95, she recalled. She said, I was born here, I grew up here, I got married and raised children here and I want to die here. Something like a cooperative housing community was a good choice for her because she could not live in her home and continue her way of life.

Older houses in rural areas lack upgrades that allow older, disabled and frail adults to function normally, Eversole Nolan said. Something as simple as a rounded faucet knob can be difficult for someone with arthritis, and a lack of elevators in multi-story housing can be impossible to live with for some.

She also noted that cooperative housing isnt just for people who want to be social all the time. Some individuals didnt want to partake in a lot of group interaction, she said. Others engaged in many activities. So it gave them a choice to choose the way of life they were accustomed to living.

Margaret Roesch is an organizer for and resident of Village Hearth Cohousing, an intentional cohousing neighborhood for 55-and-over LGBT residents, friends and allies in Durham, North Carolina.

We certainly never imagined, when we joined Village Hearth as members, that we would move in during a global pandemic, Roesch said in a recent newsletter to members. It has certainly added some unexpected twists, but it also makes us all the more thankful and excited to be joining a community of caring people.

The 28-residence facility includes a common house and was built just this year. People are moving in now, and instead of in-person happy hours, the group has instituted Zoom happy hours during the pandemic.

Creating a Safe and Welcoming Campus: President Virjee Meets (Virtually) with North OC Business Leaders – CSUF News

Posted on by

When Cal State Fullerton President Fram Virjee met recently with business leaders from the North Orange County Chamber of Commerce, he wasted no time in describing how the university is taking action to ensure a quality student education during the pandemic.

Pivoting on a Dime"We had to pivot on a dime back in March," he said. "We not only transitioned 40,000 students but also 4,000 faculty and staff members as they moved to virtual learning, teaching and support. However, graduation rates didn't suffer. Nearly every service we offered is up and running virtually. Of course, this came at considerable expense to ensure all Titans have equitable access to the technology necessary to access these resources. This included issuing thousands of laptops, MiFis, cell phones and state university grant money, more than $10 million in March and April alone.

"This also included training faculty and staff to better utilize the technology we have," he continued. "In fact, 2,600 faculty participants took virtual teaching workshops this summer. They focused on how to get students involved, what would happen in the classroom this fall.

"And yes, we have a tremendous plan in place for fall with 97% of our classes being held in a robust and engaging virtual environment. Students will have lectures, they'll have labs. The other 3% will be held on campus with tremendous safety precautions in place."

Emphasizing that CSUF is the largest campus in the CSU (the largest system in the country) and the only CSU campus in Orange County (that graduates about 12,000 students each year), he shared that about 60% of the student body are students of color and the first in their families to attend college. Also, nearly half are eligible for Pell grants federal grants that are overwhelmingly provided to students from families who earn less than $30,000 a year.

"We are going to come out of this and on the other side, we'll be better," he said. "The new normal, post-COVID, is going to be a hybrid of working virtually and on-site. That is the experience our students are undergoing right now. You'll never have to miss a class because your childcare didn't work out, your car conked out "

Unanimous Approval of the Campus Master Plan"And, most recently, we are celebrating the unanimous approval that Cal State Fullerton received for its campus master plan," he noted. "We've been working on it for almost three years. This is good for Fullerton, North Orange County and many of you came out to support us."

Of course, Virjee continued, the innovative work coming from CSUF transcends the university. Some of the community benefits of the master plan include a new events center that will replace the "granddaddy Titan Gym."

"We are being careful in the design of the gym and are beginning the drafting and planning," Virjee said. "It'll be a place for Titan basketball obviously, but we want a versatile space where we can hold concerts, conventions, speaking events, gatherings . We also want the flexibility to accommodate academic delivery. Since it will be located near the Marriott, there will be easy access off and on 57 freeway.

"Another project, the Innovation Center, will be a place for collaboration, not just among the colleges ... but with businesses and the community. Students and faculty can collaborate with outside groups for mutual benefit.

"And there's the arboretum. It will stay in one piece. We are very proud of it and hope to incorporate it into the academic life of our university. We want our students working out there: engineering, marketing, science, art, music . This will make it more vibrant for the surrounding community.

"With this approval, we are now beginning work on the master plan as we speak. Remember, this is a 15-year plan. One of the things that might not be so obvious to the community but is quite important is developing a new flow for traffic on campus. There will be no traffic running through the core of the campus but it will be diverted in an oval shape around the perimeter of the campus. In fact, we are already beginning to implement that. We are widening the perimeter roads and creating bike/pedestrian paths on campus.

"This approval will also allow us to enhance our student housing. We will be able to offer 5,600 beds on campus (from 2,000) to create 'villages' on campus. And again, having students live on campus will reduce traffic density."

Not Just COVID-19Virjee also stressed that he expects the campus to be more proactive and have greater success as we grapple with the nation's long-standing plague: systemic racism and anti-Blackness. In fact, just days after the killing of George Floyd, Virjee published an "Open Letter to Our Legacy Leaders Across White America."

"It's been a new rallying cry. We have virtual advocacy and training programs. We developed these on our campus organically. Each division has developed a framework to work on issues that relate to anti-bias and anti-racism," he said. "We've been working with different groups in Orange County and Southern California. We're very proud of the work we're doing but we have a lot more work to do.

"Our proactive, decades-long mission to be a national model for diversity and inclusion continues with the momentum of a very intentional redoubling of our commitment in this work over the past two years," he said. "The fruit born from these measures are infinitely backed by endless data but such markers of success are laurels that we cannot and do not intend to rest on for one simple reason: It is not enough.

"As we advocate for and work toward long overdue reform, please know that we at CSUF will not stop at the campus, country, or even state-wide level."

How Can the Community Become Involved?"We have started a 'Common Read' program where we are all reading the same book, 'The Book of the Unknown Americans,'" he said. "This is an opportunity for everyone to engage in discussion. We would love our business community to be reading this book along with us.

"Also, if you have the capacity, mentoring students is a great way to get involved in working with kids from underserved communities. Your assistance helps them become fully engaged and ready. They are hungry for mentors. Help us build what Martin Luther King, Jr. called the 'beloved community.'"

What About Athletics?"The Big West Athletic Conference just announced they'd cancelled athletics for the fall," Virjee said. "We hope to offer athletics (if safe) in the spring. Our student athletes are still on full scholarship. But if it's not safe to play in spring, we won't play then either.

"As far as our new baseball and softball complexes, we've already raised most of the money so groundbreaking will begin soon. Right now, we're working with the contractor, state fire marshal and so forth. We need to keep people safe but we need to also keep the long-term view in sight."

PCC to Lead $7 Million Effort to Expand Nanotechnology Education – The South Pasadenan

Posted on by

TheNational Science Foundation Advanced Technological Educationprogram has named PCC the lead agency on a $7 million grant that will develop new approaches to educating students in micro nano technology.

PCC Natural Sciences professor Jared Ashcroft will direct the project, which will bring together a network of nearly 30 higher education institutions, industry partners and as many researchers, scientists, and educators.

Over the past half century, micro nano technologies have progressed from experimental applications in electrical and mechanical engineering to biotechnology, optical sciences, and other fields. As the field has expanded quickly, community colleges have a growing duty to educate lab technicians and other personnel to operate machinery, manage cleanrooms and conduct research in increasingly unpredictable ways.

Community colleges have to evolve in what they teach, Ashcroft explained. We need to converge these different technologies so we can prepare students for future jobs, not the jobs in the field of five years ago. Industry and research are driving nanotechnology forward and its time for us to have our teaching be a part of that.

The grant will create theMicro Nano Technology Education Centerat PCC, a consortium bringing together community college and baccalaureate granting educational institutions, research laboratories, and private corporations working in micro nano technology fields. The Center will serve as a hub of curriculum development, professional learning, and information exchange for college educators and researchers looking for new ideas in building the nations micro nano technology workforce.

As advanced academic research uncovers new uses for nano-scale technologies, the implementation and commercialization of these discoveries requires a constantly evolving and highly skilled workforce. Unfortunately, many community colleges have resisted making large investments in teaching at the scale of individual atoms, which requires expensive microscopes, fabrication devices, and data processing technologies, not to mention skilled educators at the front of the classroom.

In building a network of institutions around the country, the Center will pool resources and make them available to member institutions and others for their students. At PCC, for example, Ashcroft has used online videoconferencing to give his students experience with a scanning electron microscope located in the undergraduate research laboratory housed in the E Building. Access to more of these machines will boost his students exposure to recent developments in the field, as well as providing vital work-based learning opportunities as they advance in their studies.

Ashcrofts partners bring a range of approaches to the work. Kate Alcott is the associate director of the Northeast Advanced Technological Education Center at the State University of New York Polytechnic Institute in Utica. We know that the technician shortage is real, so were working really hard to help these industries pull in these technologies, she said. She trains with U.S. Army veterans from nearby Fort Drum in nano skills so they can find jobs when they leave the service.

At the University of New Mexico Support Center for Microsytsems Education, Matt Pleil has been building nano education since 2004. The university brings faculty and students to workshops in their sophisticated cleanroom on the Albuquerque campus, giving them the opportunity to not only advance research but to chart the future of advanced technology education. A group of ten PCC students attended a week-long cleanroom workshop at the facility last summer.

One of the most promising outlets for future micro nano tech investment is in the development of vaccines that target the genetic code of individual diseases. Todd Christenson, the chief technology officer at HT Micro, a 15,000 square-foot engineering and fabrication facility also in Albuquerque, said that his company and, in some cases, the society at large depends on sophisticated technicians who are ready to work. Its incumbent on us to realize this field is growing into areas, other markets, than it has in a long time, he said.

Over the next six months, the PCC Center will lay the groundwork for the five-year effort to have maximum impact. Contracts and subawards are being made to solidify the network. Infrastructure is being laid and partnerships are being made so that information can begin to flow.

The first priority is to recruit more faculty to the network, with a particular focus on younger instructors and faculty from diverse backgrounds. Mentor relationships with established educators will help maintain a vibrant field. If we dont get younger and more diverse, Ashcroft explained, were going to lose the knowledge weve already accumulated. Much of the educational workforce will be approaching retirement in the next decade, so its crucial to prepare the next generation of micro nano tech professors.

As the work gets underway, Ashcroft is already noticing the network effects of the work. It used to be that we would get together once a year, he said of the practitioners and educators working in nano. We dont have it all together, but together we have it all.

In nano as in all things, a series of small steps can lead to very big things.

UCLA researchers receive $2.97 million grant to develop test for early detection of liver cancer – Newswise

Posted on by

Newswise Researchers from the UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center were awarded a $2.97 million grant from the National Cancer Institute to develop a nanotechnology-enabled cancerdiagnostic solution that will help detect early stage liver cancer for people who are at risk of developing the disease. This is the second grant of a similar scale awarded to this joint research team in 2020.

The team, which is led by Hsian-Rong HR Tseng, professor of molecular and medical pharmacology, and Dr. Vatche Agopian, director of Dumont-UCLA Liver Cancer Center; will be devoted to developing a nanotechnology-enabled diagnostic platform. This platform will allow for more effective purification of extracellular vesicles in blood from people with hepatocellular carcinoma the most common form of liver cancer. The purified liver cancer extracellular vesicles can then be subjected to molecular characterization, enabling the non-invasive detection of early stage liver cancer from at-risk patients with liver cirrhosis.

Tumor-derived extracellular vesicles, which are often regarded as biomarker reservoirs, are important to trace because they are present in circulation at relatively early stages of disease and persist across all disease stages, said Tseng, who is the lead principal investigator on the grant. But, they can sometimes be difficult to extract since a majority of extracellular vesicle in circulation are not of tumor origin, and high background noise makes the total extracellular vesicles analysis of limited diagnostic precision. Our development will help us overcome this challenge.

The nanotechnology-enabled diagnostic technology, also called EV Click Chips, represents a rapid and effective extracellular vesicles purification system. It uses a multimarker cocktail to recognize, enrich and recover extracellular vesicles secreted from the hepatocellular carcinoma tumor. This is followed by detecting molecular contents in the purified extracellular vesicles. Such a streamlined workflow can be regarded as a liquid biopsy diagnostic approach, capable of noninvasive detection of early stage hepatocellular carcinoma, which are frequently not detected by conventional screening ultrasonography.

The entire goal is to detect liver cancers at a stage when they can be treated and cured, said Agopian, who is also associate professor of surgery, liver and pancreas transplantation in the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. Unfortunately, the majority of patients are diagnosed with late stage liver cancer where the tumor is locally advanced or has spread to other parts of the body, making it very difficult to treat. Were hoping this technology will help improve outcomes for our patients with this deadly malignancy.

Each year there are more than 42,000 new cases of liver cancer diagnosed in the United States, which has more than tripled since 1980. The American Cancer Society estimates that 30,000 people die from the disease every year. The death rate has continued to increase for the past two decades.

Other investigators of the grant include Dr. Sungyong You from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.

Darwinism – Wikipedia

Posted on by

This article is about concepts called Darwinism. For biological evolution in general, see evolution. For modern evolutionary theories, see Modern synthesis. For Wallace's defence of the theory of natural selection, see Darwinism (book).

Theory of biological evolution

Darwinism is a theory of biological evolution developed by the English naturalist Charles Darwin (18091882) and others, stating that all species of organisms arise and develop through the natural selection of small, inherited variations that increase the individual's ability to compete, survive, and reproduce. Also called Darwinian theory, it originally included the broad concepts of transmutation of species or of evolution which gained general scientific acceptance after Darwin published On the Origin of Species in 1859, including concepts which predated Darwin's theories. English biologist Thomas Henry Huxley coined the term Darwinism in April 1860.[1]

Darwinism subsequently referred to the specific concepts of natural selection, the Weismann barrier, or the central dogma of molecular biology.[2] Though the term usually refers strictly to biological evolution, creationists[who?] have appropriated it to refer to the origin of life.[3] It is therefore considered the belief and acceptance of Darwin's and of his predecessors' work, in place of other concepts, including divine design and extraterrestrial origins.[4][5]

English biologist Thomas Henry Huxley coined the term Darwinism in April 1860.[1] It was used to describe evolutionary concepts in general, including earlier concepts published by English philosopher Herbert Spencer. Many of the proponents of Darwinism at that time, including Huxley, had reservations about the significance of natural selection, and Darwin himself gave credence to what was later called Lamarckism. The strict neo-Darwinism of German evolutionary biologist August Weismann gained few supporters in the late 19th century. During the approximate period of the 1880s to about 1920, sometimes called "the eclipse of Darwinism", scientists proposed various alternative evolutionary mechanisms which eventually proved untenable. The development of the modern synthesis in the early 20th century, incorporating natural selection with population genetics and Mendelian genetics, revived Darwinism in an updated form.[6]

While the term Darwinism has remained in use amongst the public when referring to modern evolutionary theory, it has increasingly been argued by science writers such as Olivia Judson and Eugenie Scott that it is an inappropriate term for modern evolutionary theory.[7][8] For example, Darwin was unfamiliar with the work of the Moravian scientist and Augustinian friar Gregor Mendel,[9] and as a result had only a vague and inaccurate understanding of heredity. He naturally had no inkling of later theoretical developments and, like Mendel himself, knew nothing of genetic drift, for example.[10][11]

In the United States, creationists often use the term "Darwinism" as a pejorative term in reference to beliefs such as scientific materialism, but in the United Kingdom the term has no negative connotations, being freely used as a shorthand for the body of theory dealing with evolution, and in particular, with evolution by natural selection.[7]

While the term Darwinism had been used previously to refer to the work of Erasmus Darwin in the late 18th century, the term as understood today was introduced when Charles Darwin's 1859 book On the Origin of Species was reviewed by Thomas Henry Huxley in the April 1860 issue of the Westminster Review.[13] Having hailed the book as "a veritable Whitworth gun in the armoury of liberalism" promoting scientific naturalism over theology, and praising the usefulness of Darwin's ideas while expressing professional reservations about Darwin's gradualism and doubting if it could be proved that natural selection could form new species,[14] Huxley compared Darwin's achievement to that of Nicolaus Copernicus in explaining planetary motion:

What if the orbit of Darwinism should be a little too circular? What if species should offer residual phenomena, here and there, not explicable by natural selection? Twenty years hence naturalists may be in a position to say whether this is, or is not, the case; but in either event they will owe the author of "The Origin of Species" an immense debt of gratitude.... And viewed as a whole, we do not believe that, since the publication of Von Baer's "Researches on Development," thirty years ago, any work has appeared calculated to exert so large an influence, not only on the future of Biology, but in extending the domination of Science over regions of thought into which she has, as yet, hardly penetrated.[1]

These are the basic tenets of evolution by natural selection as defined by Darwin:

Another important evolutionary theorist of the same period was the Russian geographer and prominent anarchist Peter Kropotkin who, in his book Mutual Aid: A Factor of Evolution (1902), advocated a conception of Darwinism counter to that of Huxley. His conception was centred around what he saw as the widespread use of co-operation as a survival mechanism in human societies and animals. He used biological and sociological arguments in an attempt to show that the main factor in facilitating evolution is cooperation between individuals in free-associated societies and groups. This was in order to counteract the conception of fierce competition as the core of evolution, which provided a rationalization for the dominant political, economic and social theories of the time; and the prevalent interpretations of Darwinism, such as those by Huxley, who is targeted as an opponent by Kropotkin. Kropotkin's conception of Darwinism could be summed up by the following quote:

In the animal world we have seen that the vast majority of species live in societies, and that they find in association the best arms for the struggle for life: understood, of course, in its wide Darwinian sensenot as a struggle for the sheer means of existence, but as a struggle against all natural conditions unfavourable to the species. The animal species, in which individual struggle has been reduced to its narrowest limits, and the practice of mutual aid has attained the greatest development, are invariably the most numerous, the most prosperous, and the most open to further progress. The mutual protection which is obtained in this case, the possibility of attaining old age and of accumulating experience, the higher intellectual development, and the further growth of sociable habits, secure the maintenance of the species, its extension, and its further progressive evolution. The unsociable species, on the contrary, are doomed to decay.[15]

Peter Kropotkin, Mutual Aid: A Factor of Evolution (1902), Conclusion

"Darwinism" soon came to stand for an entire range of evolutionary (and often revolutionary) philosophies about both biology and society. One of the more prominent approaches, summed in the 1864 phrase "survival of the fittest" by Herbert Spencer, later became emblematic of Darwinism even though Spencer's own understanding of evolution (as expressed in 1857) was more similar to that of Jean-Baptiste Lamarck than to that of Darwin, and predated the publication of Darwin's theory in 1859. What is now called "Social Darwinism" was, in its day, synonymous with "Darwinism"the application of Darwinian principles of "struggle" to society, usually in support of anti-philanthropic political agenda. Another interpretation, one notably favoured by Darwin's half-cousin Francis Galton, was that "Darwinism" implied that because natural selection was apparently no longer working on "civilized" people, it was possible for "inferior" strains of people (who would normally be filtered out of the gene pool) to overwhelm the "superior" strains, and voluntary corrective measures would be desirablethe foundation of eugenics.

In Darwin's day there was no rigid definition of the term "Darwinism", and it was used by opponents and proponents of Darwin's biological theory alike to mean whatever they wanted it to in a larger context. The ideas had international influence, and Ernst Haeckel developed what was known as Darwinismus in Germany, although, like Spencer's "evolution", Haeckel's "Darwinism" had only a rough resemblance to the theory of Charles Darwin, and was not centered on natural selection.[16] In 1886, Alfred Russel Wallace went on a lecture tour across the United States, starting in New York and going via Boston, Washington, Kansas, Iowa and Nebraska to California, lecturing on what he called "Darwinism" without any problems.[17]

In his book Darwinism (1889), Wallace had used the term pure-Darwinism which proposed a "greater efficacy" for natural selection.[18][19] George Romanes dubbed this view as "Wallaceism", noting that in contrast to Darwin, this position was advocating a "pure theory of natural selection to the exclusion of any supplementary theory."[20][21] Taking influence from Darwin, Romanes was a proponent of both natural selection and the inheritance of acquired characteristics. The latter was denied by Wallace who was a strict selectionist.[22] Romanes' definition of Darwinism conformed directly with Darwin's views and was contrasted with Wallace's definition of the term.[23]

The term Darwinism is often used in the United States by promoters of creationism, notably by leading members of the intelligent design movement, as an epithet to attack evolution as though it were an ideology (an "ism") of philosophical naturalism, or atheism.[24] For example, in 1993, UC Berkeley law professor and author Phillip E. Johnson made this accusation of atheism with reference to Charles Hodge's 1874 book What Is Darwinism?.[25] However, unlike Johnson, Hodge confined the term to exclude those like American botanist Asa Gray who combined Christian faith with support for Darwin's natural selection theory, before answering the question posed in the book's title by concluding: "It is Atheism."[26][27] Darwinism is an attempt to explain "design without a designer", according to evolutionary biologist Francisco J. Ayala.[28]

Creationists use pejoratively the term Darwinism to imply that the theory has been held as true only by Darwin and a core group of his followers, whom they cast as dogmatic and inflexible in their belief.[29] In the 2008 documentary film Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed, which promotes intelligent design (ID), American writer and actor Ben Stein refers to scientists as Darwinists. Reviewing the film for Scientific American, John Rennie says "The term is a curious throwback, because in modern biology almost no one relies solely on Darwin's original ideas... Yet the choice of terminology isn't random: Ben Stein wants you to stop thinking of evolution as an actual science supported by verifiable facts and logical arguments and to start thinking of it as a dogmatic, atheistic ideology akin to Marxism." [30]

However, Darwinism is also used neutrally within the scientific community to distinguish the modern evolutionary synthesis, which is sometimes called "neo-Darwinism", from those first proposed by Darwin. Darwinism also is used neutrally by historians to differentiate his theory from other evolutionary theories current around the same period. For example, Darwinism may refer to Darwin's proposed mechanism of natural selection, in comparison to more recent mechanisms such as genetic drift and gene flow. It may also refer specifically to the role of Charles Darwin as opposed to others in the history of evolutionary thoughtparticularly contrasting Darwin's results with those of earlier theories such as Lamarckism or later ones such as the modern evolutionary synthesis.

In political discussions in the United States, the term is mostly used by its enemies.[31] "It's a rhetorical device to make evolution seem like a kind of faith, like 'Maoism,'" says Harvard University biologist E. O. Wilson. He adds, "Scientists don't call it 'Darwinism'."[32]

In the United Kingdom the term often retains its positive sense as a reference to natural selection, and for example British atheist Richard Dawkins wrote in his collection of essays A Devil's Chaplain, published in 2003, that as a scientist he is a Darwinist.[33]

In his 1995 book Darwinian Fairytales, Australian philosopher David Stove[34] used the term "Darwinism" in a different sense than the above examples. Describing himself as non-religious and as accepting the concept of natural selection as a well-established fact, Stove nonetheless attacked what he described as flawed concepts proposed by some "Ultra-Darwinists." Stove alleged that by using weak or false ad hoc reasoning, these Ultra-Darwinists used evolutionary concepts to offer explanations that were not valid: for example, Stove suggested that the sociobiological explanation of altruism as an evolutionary feature was presented in such a way that the argument was effectively immune to any criticism. English philosopher Simon Blackburn wrote a rejoinder to Stove,[35] though a subsequent essay by Stove's proteg James Franklin[36] suggested that Blackburn's response actually "confirms Stove's central thesis that Darwinism can 'explain' anything."

In evolutionary aesthetics theory, there is evidence that perceptions of beauty are determined by natural selection and therefore Darwinian; that things, aspects of people and landscapes considered beautiful are typically found in situations likely to give enhanced survival of the perceiving human's genes.[37][38]

An Evolution Definition of Darwinism – ThoughtCo

Posted on by

Charles Darwin is known as the "Father of Evolution" for being the first person to publish his theory not only describing that evolution was a change in species over time but also put together a mechanism for how it works (called natural selection). There is arguably no other evolutionary scholar as well known and revered as Darwin. In fact, the term "Darwinism" has come to be synonymous with the Theory of Evolution, but what really is meant when people say the word Darwinism? And more importantly, what does Darwinism NOT mean?

Darwinism, when it was first put into the lexicon by Thomas Huxley in 1860, was only meant to describe the belief that species change over time. In the most basic of terms, Darwinism became synonymous with Charles Darwin's explanation of evolution and, to an extent, his description of natural selection. These ideas, first published in his arguably most famous book On the Origin of Species, were direct and have stood the test of time. So, originally, Darwinism only included the fact that species change over time due to nature selecting the most favorable adaptations within the population. These individuals with better adaptations lived long enough to reproduce and pass those traits down to the next generation, ensuring the species' survival.

While many scholars insist this should be the extent of information that the word Darwinism should encompass, it has somewhat evolved itself over time as the Theory of Evolution itself also changed when more data and information became readily available. For instance, Darwin did not know anything about Genetics as it wasn't until after his death that Gregor Mendel did his work with his pea plants and published the data. Many other scientists proposed alternative mechanisms for evolution during a time which became known as neo-Darwinism. However, none of these mechanisms held up over time and Charles Darwin's original assertions were restored as the correct and leading Theory of Evolution. Now, the Modern Synthesis of the Evolutionary Theory is sometimes described using the term "Darwinism", but this is somewhat misleading since it includes not only Genetics but also other topics not explored by Darwin like microevolution via DNA mutations and other molecular biological tenets.

In the United States, Darwinism has taken on a different meaning to the general public. In fact, opponents to the Theory of Evolution have taken the term Darwinism and created a false definition of the word that brings up a negative connotation for many who hear it. The strict Creationists have taken the word hostage and created a new meaning which is often perpetuated by those in the media and others who do not truly understand the real meaning of the word. These anti-evolutionists have taken the word Darwinism to not only mean a change in species over time but have lumped in the origin of life along with it. Darwin did not assert any sort of hypothesis on how life on Earth began in any of his writings and only could describe what he had studied and had evidence to back up. Creationists and other anti-evolutionary parties either misunderstood the term Darwinism or purposefully hijacked it to make it more negative. The term has even been used to describe the origin of the universe by some extremists, which is way beyond the realm of anything Darwin would have made a conjecture on at any time in his life.

In other countries around the world, however, this false definition is not present. In fact, in the United Kingdom where Darwin did most of his work, it is a celebrated and understood term that is commonly used instead of the Theory of Evolution through Natural Selection. There is no ambiguity of the term there and it is used correctly by scientists, the media, and the general public every day.

Darwinism, theory of the evolutionary mechanism propounded by Charles Darwin as an explanation of organic change. It denotes Darwins specific view that evolution is driven mainly by natural selection.

Beginning in 1837, Darwin proceeded to work on the now well-understood concept that evolution is essentially brought about by the interplay of three principles: (1) variationa liberalizing factor, which Darwin did not attempt to explain, present in all forms of life; (2) hereditythe conservative force that transmits similar organic form from one generation to another; and (3) the struggle for existencewhich determines the variations that will confer advantages in a given environment, thus altering species through a selective reproductive rate.

On the basis of newer knowledge, neo-Darwinism has superseded the earlier concept and purged it of Darwins lingering attachment to the Lamarckian theory of inheritance of acquired characters. Present knowledge of the mechanisms of inheritance are such that modern scientists can distinguish more satisfactorily than Darwin between non-inheritable bodily variation and variation of a genuinely inheritable kind.

Social Darwinism – HISTORY

Posted on by

Contents

Social Darwinism is a loose set of ideologies that emerged in the late 1800s in which Charles Darwins theory of evolution by natural selection was used to justify certain political, social, or economic views. Social Darwinists believe in survival of the fittestthe idea that certain people become powerful in society because they are innately better. Social Darwinism has been used to justify imperialism, racism, eugenics and social inequality at various times over the past century and a half.

According to Darwins theory of evolution, only the plants and animals best adapted to their environment will survive to reproduce and transfer their genes to the next generation. Animals and plants that are poorly adapted to their environment will not survive to reproduce.

Charles Darwin published his notions on natural selection and the theory of evolution in his influential 1859 book On the Origin of Species.

Darwins theory of evolution by natural selection was a scientific theory focused on explaining his observations about biological diversity and why different species of plants and animals look different.

Yet in an attempt to convey his scientific ideas to the British public, Darwin borrowed popular concepts, including survival of the fittest, from sociologist Herbert Spencer and struggle for existence from economist Thomas Malthus, who had earlier written about how human societies evolve over time.

Darwin rarely commented on the social implications of his theories. But to those who followed Spencer and Malthus, Darwins theory appeared to be confirming with science what they already believed to be true about human societythat the fit inherited qualities such as industriousness and the ability to accumulate wealth, while the unfit were innately lazy and stupid.

After Darwin published his theories on biological evolution and natural selection, Herbert Spencer drew further parallels between his economic theories and Darwins scientific principles.

Spencer applied the idea of survival of the fittest to so-called laissez faire or unrestrained capitalism during the Industrial Revolution, in which businesses are allowed to operate with little regulation from the government.

Unlike Darwin, Spencer believed that people could genetically pass learned qualities, such as frugality and morality, on to their children.

Spencer opposed any laws that helped workers, the poor, and those he deemed genetically weak. Such laws, he argued, would go against the evolution of civilization by delaying the extinction of the unfit.

Another prominent Social Darwinist was American economist William Graham Sumner. He was an early opponent of the welfare state. He viewed individual competition for property and social status as a tool for eliminating the weak and immoral of the population.

As social Darwinist rationalizations of inequality gained popularity in the late 1800s, British scholar Sir Francis Galton (a half-cousin of Darwin) launched a new science aimed at improving the human race by ridding society of its undesirables. He called it eugenics.

Galton proposed to better humankind by propagating the British elite. He argued that social institutions such as welfare and mental asylums allowed inferior humans to survive and reproduce at higher levels than their superior counterparts in Britains wealthy class.

Galtons ideas never really took hold in his country, but they became popular in America where the concepts of eugenics quickly gained strength.

Eugenics became a popular social movement in the United States that peaked in the 1920s and 1930s. Books and films promoted eugenics, while local fairs and exhibitions held fitter family and better baby competitions around the country.

The eugenics movement in the United States focused on eliminating undesirable traits from the population. Proponents of the eugenics movement reasoned the best way to do this was by preventing unfit individuals from having children.

During the first part of the twentieth century, 32 U.S. states passed laws that resulted in the forced sterilization of more than 64,000 Americans including immigrants, people of color, unmarried mothers and the mentally ill.

Adolf Hitler, one of the worlds most notorious eugenicists, drew inspiration from Californias forced sterilizations of the feeble-minded in designing Nazi Germanys racially based policies.

Hitler began reading about eugenics and social Darwinism while he was imprisoned following a failed 1924 coup attempt known as the Beer Hall Putsch.

Hitler adopted the social Darwinist take on survival of the fittest. He believed the German master race had grown weak due to the influence of non-Aryans in Germany. To Hitler, survival of the German Aryan race depended on its ability to maintain the purity of its gene pool.

The Nazis targeted certain groups or races that they considered biologically inferior for extermination. These included Jews, Roma (gypsies), Poles, Soviets, people with disabilities and homosexuals.

By the end of World War II, social Darwinist and eugenic theories had fallen out of favor in the United States and much of Europepartly due to their associations with Nazi programs and propaganda, and because these theories were scientifically unfounded.

The FINANCIAL – UNICEF: Gambling prevention in adolescents should be on a national health agenda – The FINANCIAL

Posted on by

Problem gambling among adolescents and youth is a growing public health concern globally, as well as in Georgia, UNICEF study says.The aim of the UNICEF study, International Experience of Gambling Prevention Among Adolescents, conducted within the framework of the UNICEF and Patriarchate of Georgia Partnership, was to understand how other countries, including developed countries, are responding to growing problems of adolescents gambling, as well as share best practices in the concerned area.

Worldwide, the prevalence of gambling is 2 to 4 times higher among adolescents than among adults, with up to 8% of adolescents between the ages of 12 and 17 being pathological gamblers. Problem gambling during adolescence can lead to adverse outcomes, such as strained relationships, delinquency and criminal behaviors, depression and even suicide. Such negative outcomes have short- and long-term implications for the individuals, their families, peers, as well as for society at large.

Adolescents are more susceptible to gambling fallacies, says Dr. Ghassan Khalil, UNICEF Representative in Georgia. Early exposure to gambling may lead to a higher risk of developing problem gambling. It is crucial to take decisive steps by strengthening evidence-based policies and prevention strategies, as well as by launching specific services tailored for young people to reduce current and future harm and social costs associated with gambling, Khalil added.

The study finds that a significant reduction of demand on gambling could be achieved by awareness raising, education activities, and public health policy introduction and implementation. Adolescents with less knowledge about gambling and problem gambling are more likely to gamble and achieve a problem gambling level than those who have greater knowledge about the harm of gambling.

In June 2020, the adolescents hotline 111 was established to address the psychosocial needs of adolescents/youth and their parents/caregivers, in response to an increase of pathological gambling or gaming during COVID-19 pandemic, and to provide psychological first aid and psychotherapy if needed. To reach the hotline, adolescents, children and their families need to dial 111. The number is operational during working days from 10am till 7pm. All calls from Georgia are free of charge.

The child hotline is a joint initiative of the Human Rights and Civil Integration Committee of the Parliament of Georgia, the Ministry of Internally Displaced Persons from the Occupied Territories of Georgia, Labour, Health and Social Affairs and UNICEF. The goal of the hotline is to respond to the immediate needs of children and adolescents during the COVID19 pandemic.

Last week, Minister of Internally Displaced Persons from the Occupied Territories, Labor, Health and Social Affairs of Georgia, Ekaterine Tikaradze conducted a working meeting with the representatives of UNICEF. UNICEF presented to the Ministry the results of the recently conducted research. The goal of the research is to assess the readiness of social system amid COVID-19 and its impact on the poverty rate.

bwin becomes official gambling partner of the Belgian Pro League – CalvinAyre.com

Posted on by

The Belgian Pro League (BPL), the top soccer league in Belgium, has a new gambling partner. The sportsbook and iGaming operator bwin, one of the entities under the umbrella of GVC Holdings, has signed on with the organization in a sports gambling deal that will cover the next three seasons. The arrangement includes the BPL, the 1B Pro League and the Super Cup.

The agreement was reportedly facilitated with the help of Eleven Sports, an international sports broadcaster that will be involved in the arrangement. Game streaming rights will be given to bwin, which will allow the operator to put live matches up on its website, as well as its mobile platforms. The financial details of the arrangement havent been released.

The commercial head of bwin Benelux & Row, Steven Cartigny, is ready to dig in and develop a robust plan in Belgium. He explains, bwin is extremely proud to become the exclusive betting partner of the Jupiler Pro League and Eleven Sports for the next three seasons. Thanks to its European sponsorship strategy, bwin has become a fixed value in the online sports and casino world. We also want to build a strong presence in Belgium.

bwin has already set up a successful partnership with the German Football Association and Bundesliga 3. As a result of this positive experience, we now continue to focus on Belgian football. Belgium is a breeding ground for talented football players, who are doing a great job worldwide.

Eleven Sports, which just celebrated its fifth anniversary, is found in Belgium, Italy, Portugal, Poland and others. Its head of acquisitions and managing director for Belgium and Luxembourg, Guillaume Collard, adds, We welcome bwin to the Home of Belgian Football, our innovative project for Belgian football. We look forward to working together to champion bwins offering in a way that promotes responsible entertainment to fans.

BPL CEO Pierre Franois expects the agreement to have a positive impact on soccer transparency and integrity, and a possible catalyst for global sports maturity. He explains, Games of chance and betting can add an extra dimension to the football experience. However, each partner is aware of the risks of irresponsible behaviour. Thats why we are all committed to minimising the risks, each in his own role.

In this partnership, bwin, the Pro League and Eleven Sports will focus on an overall prevention policy, the protection of players and the integrity of football as a whole. This cooperation will be measured at any time against the goals and best practice set out in the cooperation agreement between the Pro League and the Gaming Commission.

Belgiums gaming scene has had a few setbacks this year. The Belgian Gaming Commission came under fire in February for alleged ethics violations, and the country has been clamping down betting limits over concerns of exaggerated online gambling due to the coronavirus lockdown. Overall, though, Belgium continues to have one of the better online gaming markets found anywhere.

Erwin Dickman is optimistic about the gambling industry’s future – CalvinAyre.com

Posted on by

While the majority of the casino and gaming industry remains paralysed by the COVID-19 pandemic, Erwin Dickman remains the eternal optimist. The Market Manager for Asia Live Tech predicts that big brand casinos will be able to leverage the digital era and the new normal to open up opportunities in unexplored markets. Dickman took some time out to give our own Beck Liggero Fontana a glimpse into an exciting future.

Despite the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on the industry, Dickman believes theres an opportunity for land-based casinos to expand into the live tables and live casino market. Land-based casinos need to start ever-evolving, he said. A change we didnt know that would come so soon but it has to happen now. Thats why we are saying that AI gaming is the way to go. Digital gaming has been booming since COVID-19 began. We dont want to see our ideal land-based casinos go down. We want to see all the big brands continue in this new space, which is the digital element.

Dickman elaborated further on the opportunities for the branded tables to make the shift to the digital space. Its about how you are going to implement your current land-based tables, implementing a land-based casino system. Implement a ticket online so you can all have your own products, he said, adding:

We have seen big brands and live dealer studios come up in the market. There are quite a number now. Imagine a day youll see live tables from MGM going live and you can play right from your home. It just takes one casino from Las Vegas or in a different country to create that vertical opportunity.

With the shift into the digital world, Dickman believes that regulators will need to move with the technology and adopt new rules for land-based casinos. Things will be different, and regulatory bodies will have to look into different policies that adapt to the changing world, he said. They have to look at how to want to mitigate the risks and how they want to avoid exploitation. I believe more regulations are going to come which is a good thing. Well have a more stable gaming industry in a digital element which is beneficial for everyone.

In the full interview, Dickman goes onto explain that adoption and education will be crucial in capturing the attention of the older generation in the digital gaming market. And dont forget to subscribe to the CalvinAyre.com YouTube channel to see every interview we make as it goes up.

UK Gambling Commission Launches Public Awareness Campaign on Gambling Controls, Rights and Safeguards – European Gaming Industry News

Posted on by

Reading Time: 3 minutes

The Social Market Foundation (SMF) has released a new report into online gambling, with the main recommendation being that a 100-a-month spending cap should be implemented.

SMF, a cross-party think-tank, also calls for a sweeping overhaul of the way gambling firms are taxed, to put financial pressure on companies registered abroad to bring their operations to Britain.

SMF proposed a comprehensive new framework of regulation and oversight for a gambling sector increasingly dominated by online playing. Its report comes ahead of a Government review of the 2005 Gambling Act, which ministers have said is not suitable for an era of online gambling.

The report recommends new affordability checks to protect gamblers from serious financial harm. It proposes a soft cap on spending where anyone who wanted to spend more than 23 a week on gambling products would have to prove they could afford to lose the money without hardship.

The report also said that the stake limits on online slot games proposed by regulators should be set between 1 and 5. Non-slot online gambling games should face new restrictions on the way they are designed rather than financial limits, the SMF said.

The report also proposes a complete reform of the way gambling operators are taxed, to put greater burdens on firms based offshore in Gibraltar or the Isle of Man, and reduce the tax faced by companies that bring their operations onshore.

The smaller a firms footprint, the higher the levels of Remote Gaming Duty and Betting Duty they should face, the SMF said. The proposed system would reward companies that bring their operations to Britain, while increasing the costs of operating offshore, the report said.

Gambling taxation should be redesigned around a system of incentives which reflect a companys level of onshore presence. This means that operators could still decide to base their headquarters in locations like Gibraltar, the Isle of Man, or Alderney, but that decision would carry significant tax implications, SMF said.

The report also calls for a comprehensive shake-up of Whitehall and the public bodies overseeing gambling and gamblers. The structures created by the 2005 Gambling Act are no longer fit for purpose, SMF said.

The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport should no longer have sole responsibility for gambling policy, being replaced by a new cross-government Gambling Quartet, SMF said.

The lead author of the report is Dr. James Noyes, a leading authority on gambling policy and a former adviser to Tom Watson MP.

James Noyes said:

For too long, gambling operators have talked about the need to protect their customers, but have not worked together in order to make affordability checks a reality. A fixed cap that applies across operators is the only way that consumers can be protected from harmful spend. Our proposed threshold sets the bar low enough to protect everyone, including those on low income, but is high enough to reflect the vast majority of gambling activity among the general population. Gamblers should be free to spend more than this threshold but only after they show that their gambling is neither unaffordable nor harmful.

On tax:

We need to see an end to the problem of offshore gambling tax avoidance. Gambling taxation should be redesigned around a system of incentives which reflect a companys level of onshore presence. This means that operators could still decide to base their headquarters in locations like Gibraltar, the Isle of Man, or Alderney, but that decision would carry significant tax implications. The message to online gambling operators should be clear: if you want to benefit from the British market, then make a commitment to being based in Britain.
