Eminent animal welfare scientist Professor David Mellor, University of Massey, New Zealand, will give a public lecture at the Atlantic Veterinary College on Tuesday, October 17, at 7 p.m.

During his lecture, 鈥淭hriving, not merely surviving: A fresh perspective on animal welfare,鈥� Mellor will look at negative and positive emotions in animals and how these emotions affect behaviours. He will offer a fresh perspective on animal welfare management through promoting positive states and minimizing negative ones, and consider the interaction between them.

Much of Mellor鈥檚 pioneering and well-recognized work in the field of animal welfare is on animal emotions and behaviour, and the promotion of positive welfare states in companion animals, farm animals, and others. He led the development and subsequent refinement of the Five Domains model of animal welfare, which covers all aspects of animal welfare including nutrition, environment, health, behaviour and the animal鈥檚 mental state, both negative and positive.

His contributions to animal welfare cover many aspects of the science, including the welfare and development of young animals, how to assess animal welfare comprehensively and systematically, investigation of negative experiences such as breathlessness, thirst, hunger and pain, and the study of positive emotional states in a range of animals.

For his work and leadership in animal welfare, he was honoured with the Global Health and Pharma Animal Welfare Award 2016鈥擝est Animal Welfare Academic, New Zealand. In 2015, he was awarded the Universities Federation for Animal Welfare medal, which recognizes the exceptional achievements of an individual scientist who has made fundamental contributions to the advancement of animal welfare science over a number of years.

The Sir James Dunn Animal Welfare Centre is hosting the lecture, which is part of AVC鈥檚 annual community workshop series. For information, contact Janice MacWilliam at jmacwilliam@upei.ca or (902) 566-0589.

Jenna Mae Ellsworth is a second-year guard on the 秀色短视频 Women鈥檚 Basketball team and a Bachelor of Science student from Charlottetown. She was named to the tournament all-star team for the Concordia Classic, held over the weekend in Montreal. She also averaged 20 points, six rebounds, four assists, and three steals over three games. 鈥淛enna Mae picked up the start of the 2017 season where she left off last year,鈥� said coach Greg Gould, after the team鈥檚 second-place finish in Montreal. 鈥淪he was our team鈥檚 leading scorer and best defender in our three wins in Montreal on the weekend. Her on-court leadership makes our team go.鈥�

Kameron Kielly is a first-year forward on the 秀色短视频 Men鈥檚 Hockey team, and a Bachelor of Business Administration student from Charlottetown. The team lost its home-opener over the weekend to the University of New Brunswick, but snatched an overtime win the next day over the Universit茅 de Moncton. Kieslly shone in both games, notching a pair of goals and five assists. 鈥淓ven though Kam was battling illness and had only practiced with our group a couple of times, he had an immediate impact with our group and in this league,鈥� said coach Forbes MacPherson. 鈥淭here seemed to be instant chemistry with Power and Ashley, and between the three of them, they were in on almost all of the goals this past weekend. Great start for this group as a line, and for Kam individually.鈥�

Both Panther soccer teams play at home Saturday afternoon. The women host Dalhousie University at 1:00 pm.

鈥淐oming into the last half of the season, it鈥檚 important we find another gear,鈥� said coach Graeme McDonald. 鈥淓very point counts now, and we have to be mentally prepared and ready to compete.鈥�

The 秀色短视频 (秀色短视频) is the latest university to join SHAD, an award-winning national enrichment program which brings top high school students to 16 university campuses across the country every July.

鈥淲e pride ourselves on helping students reach their full potential in both the classroom and the community.  That is why we are so thrilled to join with SHAD and to impact students at a crucial age when they are still in high school,鈥� says 秀色短视频 President Alaa Abd-El-Aziz.

The central location for SHAD at 秀色短视频 will be the new School of Sustainable Design Engineering. This school has a unique learning experience that is hands on, team focused, project based, and industry linked.  The SHADs will take part in a mini robotics course there among many other activities.

The Government of PEI is investing $28,000 to help SHAD become even more accessible to students on the Island so they can develop to become future innovative leaders in Canada.

鈥淧rince Edward Island is thrilled to host 50 of the brightest young minds in Canada so they can experience what our province has to offer including our leading researchers in aerospace, and bioscience,鈥� says Sonny Gallant, Minister of Workforce and Advanced Learning.  He adds, 鈥渙ffering the opportunity for PEI students to go to SHAD is a great step in helping even more Island youth excel in a changing world."

鈥淪HAD is one of a kind program.  It really changed my life in so many ways,鈥� says Abby Hackett who went to SHAD at Carleton University this summer and is now in grade 11 at Westisle High School.  鈥淚t is great to hear that more students from PEI will now have a chance to go and have an amazing summer of hands-on learning.鈥�

鈥淪HAD helped me realize that if you don鈥檛 push yourself to try new things or go outside of your comfort zone then you will miss out on so many opportunities,鈥� says Madeline Hamill who is in grade 12 at Kinkora Regional High School.  Hamill attended SHAD at the University of Waterloo this summer and says some of the highlights included introduction to coding and learning about the human body in an anatomy workshop.

SHAD, founded in 1980, has become known as a leading incubator for innovation and entrepreneurship among high school students who have a passion for STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math) and Entrepreneurship.

Upon completion of the SHAD program, the Fellows become connected to a network of 16,300 alumni including 32 Rhodes Scholars and leaders in many fields across the country.

SHAD is open to students in grades 10 to 12 and is currently accepting applications for the summer of 2018 from now until November 20 at .

SHAD is looking for well-rounded curious students from the Island with a passion to learn.  Many SHADs are heavily involved in extra-curricular activities in school or in their community.

Students live in residence at one of 16 host university campuses.  They attend lectures and workshops offered by leading faculty and community leaders and participate in field trips to see science and innovation in action.  There are recreational activities to round out the learning.

ABOUT SHAD:

After a successful start in September, Research on Tap returns October 19 at 6:30 pm at The Wave, the 秀色短视频 campus pub in the W.A. Murphy Student Centre. Dr. Janet Bryanton, professor in the Faculty of Nursing at 秀色短视频, will lead a discussion about women who seek planned caesareans due to fear of childbirth.

Giving birth is a significant life experience for women. Fear of childbirth is not a new phenomenon, and it can occur at any time before, during, and after birth. Sometimes, the fear of childbirth leads to women asking for a planned caesarean section. Researchers do not have a clear understanding of this experience. Dr. Bryanton explored women鈥檚 experiences of fear in relation to their decision to have a planned cesarean birth. In her presentation, Dr. Bryanton will speak about the 16 women who shared their experiences with fear of childbirth.

Research on Tap is a series of public discussions led by 秀色短视频 researchers.  For more information, please email gsa@upei.ca.

Historian Dr. Rankin Sherling will deliver a talk at the 秀色短视频 on Friday, October 13, beginning at 3:00 pm in Schurman Market Square, Don and Marion McDougall Hall.

In his talk, 鈥淚rish and Scottish Gaelic in the US, Canada, Scotland, and Ireland in the Late-Nineteenth and Early-Twentieth Centuries,鈥� Dr. Sherling will discuss a new project that Peter Ludlow, a historian in Nova Scotia, and he are working on. Ludlow uncovered a trove of letters from the early twentieth-century between members of the St. Francis Xavier University faculty and Gaelic language enthusiasts in Scotland. Among other things, they discuss the state of the language in Scotland and Canada and the difficulties in preserving it.

Placing these letters in context is revealing of the character of a larger Gaelic-speaking world, both Irish and Scottish. Aspects of the project that are particularly exciting include investigations into the migration of the Gaelic language, its survival and decline, and the existence of a larger Gaelic community in the North Atlantic world of Scotland, Ireland, Canada, and the U.S. Also of interest is the centrality of Canada's role in preserving Gaelic tradition in the early twentieth century. Often tales or folklore, considered common knowledge by the Canadian Gaelic-speaking members of St. Francis Xavier University faculty, were stunning to the Gaelic-speaking Scots.

Dr. Sherling is a tenured instructor of history at the Marion Military Institute in Alabama. In 2015 he founded a Bunrang, which is Gaelic for elementary class, where students come together weekly to learn Irish Gaelic. For three consecutive summers, the class has raised funds to sponsor its members in a six-week study abroad program at Oideas Gael, an Irish language cultural centre in Donegal, Ireland.

The lecture is sponsored by the Department of Religious Studies at 秀色短视频. Parking and admission are free. Everyone is welcome! For further information, email Robert Dennis at rdennis@upei.ca.
