Account on factory farms involving non–human animals

The following is a description of my visit to several farms and facilities in Southern Zambia. The work is a mission appointed by Peter Hurford.
The first visit was to a sloughterhouse in Livingstone on the 1st September 2017. The facility was described as the least modern of two installations in the town. For the purpose, I hired a taxi driver who happened to live next to the installation and who claimed to know basically the slaughter process.


These houses, located inside the precinct, are where the personnel with their families live.









The small house containing only window holes is where cattle owners (clients) wait during the slaughter, which is conducted in the facility located next to the house.

Global Health

I'm going to use this site to organize the work on global health.

I'm starting with these two given links, where I've been asked to choose the questions I'm interested in investigating.

Malaria FAQs from this site [https://issarice.com/malaria-notes]:

Hypothesis : The coastal region in Northern Africa is isolated from the big endemic zones. However, as seen in the map, there's more malaria activity toward the coast, the Nile river, and the oasis than in the desert.

  •  What about the Arabian and Kalahari Deserts? They’re both deserts too, so why do we see malaria in countries located in those places. 
Hypothesis for Africa: the Kalahari region is much less desertic than the Sahara, the region is smaller, and limits with the huge, continuous risk zone of Africa, while the coastal north is isolated by the Sahara desert.

Japón 2016

Debería retomar la escritura. Pasan los años y no puedo seguir soñando futuros imposibles. He dejado de leer libros, he ido perdiendo de a poco la lengua castellana, hasta llegar a un estadio de horrores como escribir "alado" por "al lado".
Este será un blog extenso, que pretende cubrir un mes de viaje hacia las antípodas de mi tierra. Tantos años fantaseé con destinos lejanos y exóticos. Si, pronto, llego a recorrer los países del viejo mundo occidental, en Europa, no se por qué, -o quizás sí lo sé- no siento el entusiasmo ni la fascinación previa comparados con mi viaje a Japón.

En el aeropuerto de Asunción, Paraguay. Hace tanto que no subía a un avión! Recuerdo haber llegado bien de madrugada a Asunción desde Resistencia. Me impresionó ver colectivos urbanos viejísimos, totalmente oscuros, transportando gente. Asunción me pareció Resistencia en el pasado.




Volando sobre Sudamérica. Tierra colorada.


Sobre las nubes. Siento que quieren surgir versos. Pero no salen. Recuerdo El Viaje en Globo de Borges. Recuerdo la descripción del tubo de acero y del tedio con los cuales describió el vaje en avión. Quizás porque Borges ya estaba ciego y no tenía forma de experimentar las nubes como los que vemos lo hacemos desde el avión irremediablemente con la vista.
