1. World’s Largest Running Event to Take Place August 31
Race and place almost always go hand in hand. In
every event from the most casual 5K to the Ironman Triathlon, competitors
gather at a single location and race as a group on the same course. But evolving technologies may be changing
that. For perhaps the first time on such a large scale, a race is occurring that
is not tied to a particular place. Nike is hosting the aptly titled “Human Race
10K” on the 31st of this month, and wherever you are in the world,
you can participate (so long as you have the iPod nano, Nike+ running shoes,
and the Nike+ system). Over a million people have already signed up to “run
for their country or continent,” making
it the largest running event in history.
After completing the ten kilometer distance
(approximately 6.2 miles) on race day, simply upload your results onto the Nike
Plus website to compare results with family in Boston, or friends in Berlin. If you prefer the excitement of a race-like atmosphere
to the actual physical exertion, or don’t own the Nike+ equipment, there will
be plenty of crowds and entertainment at the 25 locations hosting live race
events, including Los Angeles, New York, Buenos Aires, Istanbul, Paris, Seoul, Melbourne, Mexico City, and Rio de Janeiro. For a full listing of host
cities, race registration, challenges, and more information, visit the Nike+ Human Race
10K website.
2. Family on Bikes
A couple weeks ago we talked about the Jensses,
who are making their way around the world with mom, dad, and sons Tyler and
Stefan. But they aren’t the only family
out there with a captivating travel story. The Vogel family of
Boise, Idaho, recently embarked on an epic journey, traversing
the Pan American Highway
from the
Alaska to Argentina… on bicycles. It’s a 20,000 mile endeavor that they
estimate will take them two-and-a-half years to complete. Mr. and Mrs. Vogel are homeschooling their
twin boys along the way, using the world as their classroom. Lucky for us, the Vogels are making their
geo-adventures available online so
anyone can learn along with them as they pedal their way from the Arctic Circle
to Patagonia.

3.Geography Tees:
Fashion Trend of the Future?
Now I may be one of the worst guys to consult on
anything having to do with fashion, but I think everyone will agree the
geography-themed t-shirts and apparel featured on the cafepress website are
pretty awesome. If you really think about it, you’re pretty much killing two
birds with one stone; looking like a stud (or studette) and promoting the importance of geographic knowledge. Check out the
variety of styles here.
4. BBC Satellite Tracking of Human Movement
I recently stumbled upon this preview for a
new BBC series that uses satellite imagery to document and explore the
intricacies of human movement throughout Britain. The feature plans to track
everything from the daily routes of London
taxicabs to the path of every aircraft that enters or leaves the country. GIS
technology is employed to create the fascinating composite images. Check it
out.
5. Drum Circles Offer New Community and Cultural
Relationships
Ever since I attended a community drum circle last week here
at a local Washington, D.C., park, I’ve felt the need to: 1) drum on anything and
everything I can get my hands on, and 2) spread the word on just how great a
tool it is for bringing diverse groups together in a place where raw human
expression is celebrated. The gathering provided a spectacle of rhythm and
dance, along with the freedom to abandon any sense of anxiety or embarrassment
for those participating. Check out this short article I found
that describes the benefits of community-driven music gatherings.

Good News on Malaria Control
A persistent question about sustainable development is how to help the world’s poorest people. Their incomes are so low that they lack access to the most basic goods and services: adequate nutrition, safe drinking water, sanitation and vital health interventions.
One strategy is to provide targeted financial support to help the poor to meet their basic needs and thereby to escape from the poverty trap.
One example of such targeted aid is a mass free distribution of antimalaria bed nets to people living in impoverished malarious regions of Africa. Each of these longlasting
Insecticide-treated nets (LLINs) costs only about $10 (Rs 480) to produce, transport and distribute to households in rural Africa. Because the nets last for five years and two children typically sleep under each net, the cost per child a year is a mere $0.50 ( Rs24).
Here is how events have unfolded. Because Africa’s rural poor are so destitute, attempts to sell them subsidized LLINs from 2000 to 2005 not surprisingly fell badly short, even at prices as low as $ 2 (Rs 96) to $ 3 (Rs 144) per net. The incidence of taking up these bed nets in Africa through sales was very small and covered only a tiny fraction of those in need.
In 2002 and 2003 the International Committee of the Red Cross and UNICEF began experimenting with a mass free distribution of LLINs in some trial sites. Spot checks of the recipient communities a few months later verified that distributed bed nets were indeed in the households in high percentage. As the evidence of success of mass distribution continued to grow, the World Health Organization adopted that strategy as its basic standard in 2007. The international partnership known as Roll Back Malaria set a goal to freely distribute around 300 million LLINs in Africa during the period 2008 to 2010 to cover all sleeping sites in malaria-transmission regions. Already the coverage has
Jumped from perhaps 10 million LLINs in 2004 to 170 million as of the end of 2008.

Biotech’s Plans to Sustain Agriculture
Popular movements may call for more organic methods, but the agricultural industry sees biotechnology as a crucial part of farming’s future.
KEY CONCEPTS
• By 2050 or so, agriculture will need to produce about 50 percent more food than it currently does because of the expanding population. Traditional crops and farming methods could not sustain that much productivity.
• Representatives from the agricultural industry defend genetically modified crops as one of several tools that should be used to help farmers in developing countries become more productive.
If environmental and economic sustainability is ultimately a matter of balancing the human race’s consumption and productivity, then the agricultural industry leans heavily on both sides of that scale. Its drain on the earth’s resources is enormous : it claims 70 percent of all freshwater taken by our species and more than 40 percent of the planet’s solid surface (nearly all the arable land), with attendant casualties in biodiversity. Yet modern agriculture is also the only reason we can produce enough food to nourish our population of 6.8 billion – a number slated to reach more than nine billion by midcentury. Keeping up with that steeply rising demand thus defines the challenge of sustainability not only for agriculture but for humanity.
Agriculture depends on many technologies, but bio-technology might be the most influential among them. To find out how the industry perceives its prospects for raising both global crop productivity and sustainability, contributing editor John Rennie spoke with representatives of four leading agricultural biotechnology companies. What follows here is an abridged version of their edited conversation.
NEWS STRAINS OF CROPS WITH DESIRABLE TRAITS ARE UNDER DEVELOPMENT USING A VARIETY OF TRANSGENIC AND BREEDING TECHNOLOGIES. PUBLIC CONTROVERSIES OVER THE PLANTS’ ENVIRONMENTAL AND ECONOMIC EFFECTS PERSISTS, HOWEVER.
PERCENT OF GLOBAL ARABLE LAND
GM
NON-GM
GENETICALLY MODIFIED CROPS MAKE UP A SMALL BUT RISING SHARPE OF FARM PRODUCTIVITY, AS REFLECTED IN THE AMOUNT OF ARABLE LAND BEARING THEM.
SOYABEANS ( BELOW, GREEN) PLANTED WITH NO-TILL TECHNOLOGIES GROW AMID THE STUBBLE IN A WHEAT FIELD. SUCH NO-TILL APPROACHES CAN CONSERVE PRECIOUS TOPSOIL.
“The big, big challenge in front of us in the next 40 years will be meeting the needs of the much larger population. You cannot meet that supply challenge without doing it sustainably.”
FOURTEEN “ MEGABIOTECH” NATIONS, AS THEY ARE SOMETIMES CALLED, DOMINATE THE PRODUCTION OF GENETICALLY MODIFIED CROPS. ONE CHALLENGE FOR INDUSTRY WILL BE TO CREATE CROPS SUITABLE FOR INDUSTRY WILL BE TO CREATE CROS SUITABLE FOR MORE DEVELOPING COUNTRIES AROUND THE WORLD.

Thanks “SoulTraveler.” You have an excellent, beautifully organized website that I certainly hope our readers will take the time to visit. And of course, we love that you’re working with the organization “Reach the World,”–which the National Geographic Education Foundation (our “parent” organization”) has supported and helped fund in the past–to bring your story to students and educators. Keep up the great work and enjoy your time in Sweden!
No problem, Nancy!
We’ll keep following your journey and bringing your inspiring story to our readers. Keep bringing the geographic goodness! (LOVE the map with lesson plans).
Good luck, and congrats on completing the first leg of your trip.
It is great to see you writing about the Jensses and Vogels! We are also a globe trotting family and we are starting our third year of our unique, open ended world tour!
We blog and vlog our experiences on our website and as a Youtube partner:
http://www.soultravelers3.com and http://www.youtube.com/user/soultravelers3
We have many schools kids and homeschool families that follow us and this year we will be taking disadvantaged kids with us virtually through the non profit organization, Reach the World!
It has been great fun to meet and collaborate with people from around the world. Right now we are in Sweden learning all about it’s culture while staying with friends that we met on the internet!
Thank you so much for writing about our journey!! We have been having a blast so far – and expect that to continue as we move southward.
We are doubly excited right now – we just finished the Alaska Highway and (to the best of our knowledge) Davy and Daryl are the youngest people ever to cycle it!! It really is a huge achievement in and of itself!
