The Vet Vault: Fall In Love With Veterinary Science#126: Staying At The Heart Of Animal Care: The Disruptors Who Want To Replace Us, And How To Prevent It From Happening. With Dr Thom JenkinsIn a world of Amazon and Uber-level convenience, where digital disruptors are changing the way the world interacts and how we do business, why do we think that the vet profession won't be impacted?
"We're facing a lot of disruption. There is this class of digital disruptive dis-intermediators that are emerging and trying to displace the position of the veterinary clinic. Many of them explicitly have the mission to become the most trusted, most convenient touch point in the pet care journey."

Those whom she led, she had the address of appearing only to attend, but was continually doubling her chains upon her companions; which were so slender in themselves, and so silently fastened, that while the attention was engaged by other objects, they were not easily perceived. Each link grew tighter as it had been longer worn, and when, by continued additions they became so heavy as to be felt, they were very frequently too strong to be...

QuoetryQuoem 47: Misattributed to Lao Tzu and Exchanges by Ernest DowsonToday's quotation is commonly attributed to Lao Tzu but the modernity of theme and language makes me think not. Nevertheless, here it is: "Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage."
For our poem we turn to Ernest Downson's "Exchanges". For such a short poem it contains an incredible number of directions of interpretation.

If you are poet, are living, and would like to...

QuoetryQuoem 29: Madeleine Albright and The Road Not Taken by Robert FrostA little late with today's episode due to a technical glitch resulting in the original recording being lost.

Dorothy Parker was said to have been rather uncharitable towards today's poet, saying: "I'd rather flunk my Wassermann test than read a poem by Edgar Guest." At least we needn't worry about my Wassermann as I read "It Couldn't Be Done" to complete the pairing.

QuoetryQuoem 20: The Columbian Orator and If by Rudyard KiplingOur quotation today is taken from "The Columbian Orator", edited by Caleb Bingham. I was first introduced to "The Columbian Orator" via the writings of Frederick Douglass. The quotation is: "Why, in the present day, a man's preparing himself for usefulness, is like carrying coals to Newcastle. Our country is full of useful men; ten, at least, to where one is wanted, and all of them ten times as ready to serve the public as the public is to be served."
The poem today is "If" by Rudyard Kipling.

Today's poem is by Phillis Wheatley - who was herself the subject of a poem by Jupiter Hammon, a poem I fear I might find too sad to recite - this instead is one of her own, "On Virtue".

QuoetryQuoem 13: Max Planck and Ode by A W E O'ShaughnessyToday's quotation is a little sad but perhaps a little more than a little true from Max Planck. Today's poem is "Ode" by Arthur William Edgar O'Shaughnessy. You may be more familiar with the 3 stanza version sometimes called "We are the music-makers". But there are, in fact, 9 stanzas, which I now well know. The phrase "movers and shakers" originates here.
