Relationships between primal cut weights and economic value and live animal, carcass, and meat quality measurements in crossbred pigs
No full textThe objective of this research was to evaluate relationships between growth performance, ultrasonic, carcass, and meat quality measurements and individual and total primal cut weights, and estimated carcass and primal value of crossbred pigs. The study used a population of crossbred barrows and gilts (n = 6,720) owned by The Maschhoff’s, LLC (Carlyle, IL). The pigs were the progeny of 28 Duroc sires and 1038 Landrace × Large White crossbred sows. The growth performance evaluation was carried out from weaning (18.6 ± 1.09 d of age; 5.4 ± 0.32 kg live weight) to slaughter (196.6 ± 8.0 d of age; 137.2 ± 14.0 kg live weight). Pigs were reared in standard wean-to-finish facilities in single-sire, single-sex pens of 20 at a floor space of 0.68 m2/pig. Pigs had ad libitum access to feed and water throughout the study. Individual pig and pen weights were collected at weaning, week 10 of the study, and at the end of the trial. Pen means for average daily gain (ADG), average daily feed intake (ADFI), and gain: feed (G:F) were calculated for each interim and overall growth period. Ultrasonic backfat depth and Longissimus muscle depth and area were measured at the 10th rib on all pigs prior to slaughter. Carcass weight, dressing percentage, and Fat-O-Meater backfat depth and loin muscle depth at the 10th rib was collected on each carcass on the slaughter line. Carcass fat-free lean percentage was calculated from carcass weight, backfat depth, and loin depth for each carcass. The weight of the Boston butt, picnic, loin, spareribs, belly, ham, carcass length, and meat quality measurements were collected on a sample of 4 pigs from each pen that were representative of the range of live weights in each pen at slaughter. Carcass and primal value of each carcass were estimated using average prices reported by USDA AMS (2020) from 2017 to 2019. Correlations were weak between overall ADG, ADFI, and G:F and carcass value (r = -0.12, -0.22, and 0.15 respectively) and primal cut value (r = 0.19, 0.29, and -0.18 respectively). Slaughter and carcass weights were strongly positively correlated with primal cut weights (r = 0.74 to 0.98). Correlations between backfat depth and Longissimus muscle measurements (taken either ultrasonically or on the slaughter line) and primal cut weights were positive and ranged from 0.04 to 0.64. Carcass backfat depth was negatively correlated with carcass value (r = -0.45) but positively correlated with primal cut value (r = 0.56). Predicted carcass fat-free lean percentage was positively correlated with carcass value (r = 0.44) but negatively correlated with primal cut value (r = -0.53). Meat quality measurements were weakly correlated with either primal cut weights or carcass and primal cut value (r ≤ 0.21). Regression analyses were conducted to develop equations to predict primal cut weights (individual and total) and estimated value (carcass and primal) using either live animal or carcass measurements. Curvilinear regression equations provided only small improvements in adjusted R2 and Akaike’s Information Criterion (AIC) compared to linear regression equations for all dependent variables (excluding carcass value). In one-variable equations, slaughter weight (for equations using live animal measurements) or carcass weight (for equations using carcass measurements) explained the most variation in the weight of all individual and total primal cuts and carcass value. In general, the best two-variable equations to predict primal cut weights using live animal measurements included slaughter weight and backfat depth, and using carcass measurements included carcass weight and backfat depth. For most dependent variables, only limited improvements to the predictive accuracy were obtained in equations containing three or more variables when compared to two-variable equations. Results of this study suggest that the relationships of growth and carcass characteristics with primal cut value are the opposite of those with carcass value.Submission original under an indefinite embargo labeled 'Open Access'.

Letter from Caleb Foote to A. J. Muste, April 1, 1942
No full textLetter to A. J. Muste, likely from Caleb Foote, regarding the possibility of Japanese American families resettle in the Midwestern states. Author describes a recent meeting between Joseph R. Goodman, himself, and Milton Stover Eisenhower, Director of the War Relocation Authority, and correspondence with the president of Antioch College. Author writes "I think the three main question the government will ask in any such plan are 1) are defense industries nearby? 2) what will public reaction be? 3) what are the employment opportunities for the Japanese?" Author also describes situation with curfew in San Francisco: "Typical of what is happening: the other night a Japanese doctor came to the YMCA secretary in San Francisco about 7 o'clock. He had a patient that he need to operate on immediately, but a) he couldn't get a hospital in the city to take the patient, and b) in an hour he had to be back in his house til 6 AM because of the curfew, not matter what happened to the patient during thPersonal correspondence, organizational records, government documents, publications, and other papers created or collected by Joseph R.

No full textLetter from Caleb Foote to Cecilia Shepperd: "Thank you for your letter with its suggestion for taking three Japanese young people in the National Training School. Since A. J. Muste sent out his request, the government has forbid any voluntary evacuation for any Japanese people, so the plan at the moment is in abeyance. Although we are pretty gloomy as to the prospects for any immediate resettlement, we will let you know as soon as anything develops.

No full textLetter from Caleb Foote to Fellowship of Reconciliation members. Foote explains he will be traveling to a National Council meeting of the F.O.R. in Cincinnati and is preparing material on the forced removal of Japanese Americans. He asks members for input on what arguments or points should most be stressed: "The violation of civil liberties? The human suffering caused? The analogy to Germany's dealing with a racial problem? The dangerous precedent it sets?" He also asks members to help with the effort to resettle individual Japanese American families in the Midwest under F.O.R. sponsorship.

Honour and recognition in the German novel of banditry ca 1800
No full textThis article performs a reading informed by Honneth’s theory of recognition of the two best-known German novels of banditry of the 1790s, Johann Heinrich Zschokke’s Abaellino der große Bandit (1794) and Christian August Vulpius’ Rinaldo Rinaldini (1799) in an effort to understand how popular literature participates in and reflects upon the discourse on honour and recognition around 1800. Its status as popular genre makes the novel of banditry (Räuberroman) a potentially interesting source on shifts in the theory and practice of honour as experienced by ordinary Europeans at the turn of the 19th century. The genre was found to relate to the honour discourse not directly, but in the manner of a heterotopia, simultaneously located outside that discourse and referentially connected to it. Taken in isolation, the novel of banditry is not an informative source on the changing role of honour and new patterns of intersubjective recognition in late 18th century Europe. Seen as part of a particular constellation of textual production and reception, however, the genre sheds light on the aporias of honour experienced by those socially marginal ‘new readers’ intent on exploiting literature in the struggle for enhanced social recognition.Peer reviewe

Miss America Kissed Caleb: Stories
No full textThe mountain is a lonely place. Welcome to Sourwood, a small Kentucky town inhabited by men and women unique and yet eerily familiar. Among its joyful and tragic citizens we meet the crafty, spirited Caleb and his curious younger brother; Pearl, a suspected witch, and her sheltered daughter, Thanie; superstitious Eli; and the doomed orphan Girty. In Sourwood, the mountain is both a keeper of secrets and an imposing, isolating presence, shaping the lives of all who live in its shadow.
Strong in both the voice and sensibilities of Appalachia, the stories in Miss America Kissed Caleb are at turns heartbreaking and hilarious. In the title story, young Caleb turns over his hard-earned dime to the war effort when he receives a coaxing kiss from Miss America, who sweeps into Sourwood by train, “pretty as a night moth.” Caleb and his brother share in the thrills and uncertainties of growing up, making an accidental visit to a brothel in “Fourth of July” and taming a “high society” pooch in “The Jimson Dog.” These stories invoke a place and a time that have long passed—a way of living nearly extinct—yet the beauty of the language and the truth revealed in the characters’ everyday lives continue to resonate with modern readers.
