Another comforting gem by Octavius Winslow!
As an ascent of David, Ps 131 is remarkably and appropriately brief. The length serves as a poetic device to emphasize the psalmist's main idea. If David were to go on and on expressing lengthy lamentations or desperate appeals, the form would contradict the theme. As it stands in its beautiful simplicity, the tone of Ps 131 breathes a sigh of peaceful contentment. While the song itself contains just 3 short verses in our translations today, the many chapters documenting the life and calling of David elsewhere in the scriptures provide an extensive context for this song. Given this record, David's heart expressed in this song is a striking testimony to peace surpassing understanding.
In this episode, join David Stockton, Dalton, and special guest Dan Riccio as they look further into into the beauty and relevance of Psalm 131. Discover the profound tranquility and contentment that comes from being a "weaned child" in faith. Listen as they share personal stories about finding peace, whether it's through fishing with gummy worms, sunset walks, or reflecting on ancient Hebrew poetry.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Two Concrete Ways to Help Feeder Rodents, published by Hazo on March 14, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Feeder rodents are rodents that are fed to pet reptiles, mainly snakes. After many years of consolidation and growth, feeder rodent farming has turned into an invisible form of factory farming. Indeed, we estimate there are 200-650 million feeder rodents produced globally each year. In 2019, saulius wrote an article estimating the total number of feeder mice, and bringing attention to some of their welfare issues. Here, we build on salius' work through additional research, including conversations with members of the feeder rodent industry. We provide a new estimate of the size and scope of the industry, an overview of how feeder rodents are farmed, the market structure of the global feeder rodent trade, the major customers and farming operations, and welfare considerations based on our interviews and a site visit to a small rodent farm. Finally, we discuss two concrete ways to help the hundreds of millions of rodents farmed each year: public pressure campaigns against zoos, and creating sausages that could serve as an alternative to whole animal feeding. Industry Overview Feeder Rodent Population We estimate that there are 200-650 million feeder rodents produced globally each year. Of these rodents, we estimate 150-500 million are mice and 28-120 million are rats. There is also a small amount of guinea pigs farmed each year, fed to the largest of snakes, birds of prey, and felines, but we expect this number is very low relative to the total number of rodents. This estimate is congruent with salius' previous estimates of 85 million to 2.1 billion. The estimate also aligns with a report in the Independent which pegged the number at 167 million feeder rodents sold in the US in 1999, which was well before the large Chinese farms entered the market, though it is unclear how the author reached his conclusion. Rodent Farming Rodents are farmed in tubs that are placed in rodent racks. Depending on the size of the operation, each tub will include male and female breeders in a ratio of roughly 4 to 6 females to each male, and some number of litters of baby rodents. In larger operations, it is not uncommon for one tub to have 10 male, 60 female breeders, and many baby rodents. Each tub is typically lined with liquid absorbent bedding, usually wood shavings or paper strips. Rodent food is generally supplied in the form of formulated pellets that sit on wiring on top of the tub opening, and water is provided either via gravity-fed bottles or automated watering systems that run throughout the rack. Each mouse will generally have 5-10 litters per year and around 3-20 children per litter. Rats can have up to 8 litters per year and average 8 children per litter. These ranges can vary widely based on environmental conditions and evolved changes to the breeding line. Some operations will selectively breed for higher litter size or other desired traits and will cull breeder females when they become unproductive. Children are "pulled" or "harvested" from the tubs, often pre-wean, and killed. Weaned children are often placed in a separate tub where they grow to the desired size before being killed. Farming large numbers of rodents can thus be quite concentrated, with small buildings able to produce millions of rodents per year. For example, the photo below shows Mice Direct's mouse farm in Georgia, which you can also see a video of here. Replacement breeders are taken directly from the colony. The rodent population is therefore self-propagating, meaning that genetics are not as heavily optimized as they are in other areas of animal agriculture. Colonies of rodents can collapse occasionally, typically as a result of disease. In these circumstances, which one industry professional ...
Verses 1 and 2 kind of say it all; O Lord, my heart is not lifted up; my eyes are not raised too high; I do not occupy myself with things too great and too marvelous for me. 2 But I have calmed and quieted my soul, like a weaned child with its mother; like a weaned child is my soul within me We rest in the loving care of the God who has limitless love for His children, because of the work done on our behalf by our loving Savior. Rest for the weary, hope for the downcast and food for the soul.

Psalm 131 is the twelfth of the fifteen “Ascent Songs” or “Pilgrim Psalms”. This is a psalm about humility. From the title we know it was written by David. If anyone in Israel had reasons to be proud, it was David. The eighth son of a common citizen, he began as a humble shepherd and yet became Israel's greatest king. A courageous soldier, a gifted general and tactician, and a sincere man of God, it was David who defeated Israel's enemies, expanded her boundaries, and amassed the wealth that Solomon used to build the temple. David was human, and like all of us, he was guilty of disobeying the Lord, but he was always repentant and sought God's merciful forgiveness. Except for a few lapses into selfishness and sin, David walked with the Lord in a humble spirit. In this brief psalm, he shares with us three essentials of a life that glorifies God and accomplishes His work on earth. In verse 1, we first learn that we need to be honest and accept ourselves. We move toward maturity when we honestly accept who we are, understand what we can do, accept both and live for God's glory. Rejecting or hating ourselves, fantasizing about ourselves, and envying others are marks of immaturity. David had seen some of this kind of behavior in his own son Absalom as well as in King Saul. A proud heart refuses to face reality, a high look covers up hidden inadequacy, and arrogant ambition impresses some people but leads ultimately to embarrassing failure (Jer. 45:5). When you accept yourself and your lot and thank God for the way He made you, you do not need to impress people. They will see your worth and love you for who you are. Spoiled children want to be seen and heard and they get involved in things they cannot handle. David did not promote himself; it was all God's doing. In verse 2, we should seek to have a humble heart and accept God's will. Hebrew children were weaned at ages three or four, and this experience marked the end of their infancy. But most children do not want to be deprived of their mother's loving arms and satisfying breasts, and they feel rejected and unwanted. But after the crisis of birth, each child must eventually be weaned and learn the first lesson in the school of life: growing up involves painful losses that can lead to wonderful gains. If children are to grow up and not just grow old, they must be able to function apart from mother. This means weaning, going to school, choosing a vocation, and probably marrying and starting a new home. They must learn that there is a difference between cutting the apron strings and cutting the heartstrings and that these separations do not rob them of mother's love. Weaning can be painful but is necessary in life! The child that David described wept and fretted but eventually “calmed” down and accepted the inevitable. The word describes the calming of the sea or the farmer's leveling of the ground after plowing (Isa. 28:25). Instead of emotional highs and lows, the child developed a steady uniform response, indicating a giant step forward in the quest for maturity. Successful living means moving from dependence to independence, and then to interdependence, always in the will of God. Finally in verse 3, we must place our hope in the LORD as we anticipate the future (v. 3). Infants do not realize that their mother's decision is for their own good, for weaning sets them free to meet the future and make the most of it. The child may want to keep things as they are, but that way lies immaturity and tragedy. In the Christian vocabulary, hope is not "hope so" or “wishful thinking”. It is joyful anticipation of what the Lord will do in the future, based on His changeless promises. Like the child being weaned, we may fret at our present circumstances, but we know that our fretting is wrong. Today we need to remember that our present circumstances are the womb out of which new blessings and opportunities will be born (Rom. 8:28). God bless!

Ever felt drained, tired, and even resentful while going through the demanding process of breastfeeding and weaning your toddler? Join me as I sit down with Katie, a recent graduate of Own Your Breastfeeding Story, who courageously takes us through her night weaning journey. Katie's transformation is nothing short of inspiring, especially considering she had recently moved to a new province and got pregnant while she was weaning. What if I told you that a crucial factor in Katie's parenting transformation was a healthy dose of self-compassion? Yes, that's right. Together, Katie and I delve into how her newfound self-compassion not only enhanced her breastfeeding journey but also improved her understanding of her child's needs. We also talk about how this compassionate perspective has helped her create a safe and trusting space for her little one, something that plays a vital role in the emotional journey of weaning.We also reflect on Katie's personal weaning process, underlining the importance of emotional safety and, once again, self-compassion. Tune into our conversation to discover how finding hope and support can pivot your parenting challenges and provide you with practical and comforting insights. Whether you're in the throes of your own weaning journey or about to embark on one, Katie's story will certainly resonate with you, offering not just hope, but also practical tips to cope and thrive.Wanna join Own Your Breastfeeding Story?

It's been three months since I broke my neck and sustained a spinal cord injury. I was planning to write an open letter to Regions Hospital about my experience, but after talking it through with Vanessa, decided it wouldn't be the best use of time or mental energy. Instead, I decided that covering the insights I've gained would add more value to others than outlining the disappointments from the hospital's post-op process. The former would empower others. The latter would only lead to unnecessary complaining. If you don't feel like reading any further, please just take this point to heart: You should expect a hospital system to fix what's broken, but it's on you as an individual to make yourself whole and well. I couldn't have fixed the mess I made of my neck on July 30. Only a well-trained surgeon could have done that. But from the day after surgery, going forward, I couldn't expect that the medical system would have the knowledge or experience to help me get back to my previous "normal" in the short time it was possible to do so. In case you missed the first three parts of this story, here they are: I Broke My Neck, Part 1: Injuries, Surgery, and Recovery Challenges I Broke My Neck Part 2: What I'm Doing to Recover And Why I Broke My Neck Part 3: The Mental Game of Rehab and Recovery A Quick Rehab & Recovery Update At the time of this writing, I'm 13 1/2 weeks post-injury. In terms of muscular strength, my chest, triceps, and serratus, used for movements like dips, bench presses, and pushups, are at about 60% of where they were pre-injury. The rest of my body is at about 80%. The weakness in my upper body pressing movements is typical of the spinal cord injury I sustained, though the expectations were that it would take much longer to regain strength. I'm sure it would have if I had followed the recommendations from the medical group. As for my sensory nerves, when cold water splashes on my lower body, I still feel pain instead of cold, like the water is pushing on a bruise. In my upper body, I feel cold more than pain right now, so it seems the sensory nerves are starting to respond appropriately. I also have frequent burning on the sides and palm of my index and middle fingers, though it's nowhere near the level it once was. If the sensory nerves didn't improve beyond what they have, it wouldn't disrupt normal life. And as for my neck itself, most mornings it's pretty stiff, but once I get up, apply some Young Living Cool Azul Pain Relief Cream or other oils and move around, the stiffness and soreness go away. The following are some of the milestones from the past few months. Though every spinal cord injury is unique, I thought this might give people in a similar situation a little hope. Early on, I couldn't find any examples of how people recovered from broken necks or spinal cord injuries, so I didn't have anything to compare my progress against. Day 1: Walked the morning after surgery, with a physical therapist by my side in case I fell. I believe it was later that afternoon that I also walked up the stairs at the end of the hall. Day 3: Was discharged and walked out of the hospital. Day 5: Stopped taking oxycodone. I had plenty of pills left, but will not take pain killers unless it's absolutely necessary. It wasn't absolutely necessary. Day 5: Got my first gym workout in, with the help of my friend Victor Straw. At this point, I needed straps to hold onto anything as my hands weren't yet working. Day 15: First push-up, after trying to complete one for the previous seven days. Day 39: Completed first (and second) pull-up. Week 5: Weaned off of Gabapentin and extra-strength Tylenol completely. Unfortunately, the Physician's Assistant at Regions Hospital wouldn't discuss weaning off of Gabapentin, so we researched how to do it and followed a specific timeline and process. This is not a drug that you stop cold turkey,

The complexity and diversity of a large scale production agriculture farm is always mind blowing to me. I can get stuck trying to understand just one aspect of a farm at that scale, let alone see how it all works together. Fortunately for today's guest, Jacob Wuebker, he does not have that problem. And, his mastery of the processes of his families farm and his ability to document all of it through his supervised agricultural experience has led him to be nominated as an American Star Finalist in Ag Placement this year. Jacob starts his day at 6am, going straight to one of his families pig barns where they farrow out over 100,000 pigs each year. For the next three to four hours he has various responsibilities in the barn before heading outside. At that point it it time to grind grain, and he grinds a lot! Feeding all the pigs on the farm demands a lot of grain, and this is not even counting the dairy steers they raise up from approximately 250 lbs to finished weight on their homegrown feed. If there is time left after the grinding, Jacob can find himself pulling out over 2 miles of hose to spread manure on their crop fields, spreading straw in the cattle pens for bedding or working the ground in a tractor. Jacob's future is in this farm, and that is what motivated him to take several dual credit classes during high school and have already graduated college in December of 2021! It probably has not hurt that his mother is also his FFA Advisor and has been there to guide him through the dual credit process as well as his record book. Jacob is doing what he loves, and it shows in how he is being recognized as an American Star Finalist!

Rural Communities will rely on entrepreneurship in the future for population growth and job creation. The FFA is a major catalyst to that entrepreneurial growth. Farmers, ranchers and those working in agriculture give the rest of America incredible amounts of freedom because the search for food is as simple as going to the grocery store: “The future of American agriculture depends on the involvement and investment in America's youth, In order to prepare for the population of tomorrow, we need to encourage America's youth today, and show that careers in agriculture are profitable, rewarding, and vital.”.U.S. Secretary of Agriculture, Sonny Perdue More Places You Can Listen to Off-Farm Income And Matt Brechwald:

Derek uses the experience of his wife, Lydia's, death to expose us to the reality of this temporary life. Instead, we must hang on to the strength and truth of the eternal. We should be willing to give up what we have here in this life, trusting that God cares and has a plan for us. In the midst of all that is impermanent and fading, it is only the Word of God that is enduring and permanent, unshakable, unmovable, and eternal.
