John Boyd Orr, 1st Baron Boyd-Orr CH, DSO, MC, FRS (23 September 1880
– 25 June 1971), known as Sir John Boyd Orr from 1935 to 1949, was
a Scottish teacher, doctor, biologist and politician who received the
Nobel Peace Prize for his scientific research into nutrition and his
work as the first Director-General of the United Nations Food and
Agriculture Organization (FAO). He was the co-founder and the first
President (1960–1971) of the World Academy of Art and Science
(WAAS)...
...As
an undergraduate in Glasgow, he explored the interior of the city,
usually at weekends. He was shocked by what he found in the
poverty-stricken slums and tenements, which then made up a large part
of the city. Rickets was obvious among the children, malnutrition (in
some cases, associated with drunkenness) was shown by many of the
adults, and many of the aged were destitute. In his first teaching
job after graduating M.A. in 1902, he was posted to a school in the
slums. His first class was overcrowded, and the children ill-fed or
actually hungry, inadequately clothed, visibly lousy and physically
wretched. He resigned after a few days, realising that he could not
teach children in such a condition, and that there was nothing he
could do to relieve their misery...
...On leaving the university, he
took a position as a ship's surgeon on a ship trading between
Scotland and West Africa, choosing this job because it offered the
possibility of paying off his bank overdraft faster than any other.
He resigned after four months, when he had repaid the debt. He then
tried general practice, working as a locum in the practice of his
family doctor in Saltcoats, and was offered a partnership there.
Realising that a career in medicine was not for him, he instead
accepted the offer of a two-year Carnegie research scholarship, to
work in E.P. Cathcart's laboratory. The work he began there covered
malnutrition, protein andcreatine metabolism, the effect of water
intake on nitrogenous metabolism in humans, and the energy
expenditure of military recruits in training...
...Orr,
by now Rector of the University of Glasgow, was elected as an
independent Member of Parliament (MP) for the Combined Scottish
Universities in a by-election in April 1945, and kept his seat at the
general election shortly after. He resigned in 1946...
...After
the Second World War, Boyd Orr resigned from the Rowett Institute,
and took several posts, most notably at the FAO, where his
comprehensive plans for improving food production and its equitable
distribution failed to get the support of Britain and the US. He then
resigned from the FAO and became director of a number of companies
and proved a canny investor in the stock market, making a
considerable personal fortune. When he received the Nobel Peace Prize
in 1949, he donated the entire financial award to organizations
devoted to world peace and a united world government...
...In
1960 Boyd Orr was elected the first president of the World Academy of
Art and Science, which was set up by eminent scientists of the day
concerned about the potential misuse of scientific discoveries, most
especially nuclear weapons.

Kelvin R. Throop (also 'Kelvin R. Throop III' or 'Kelvin Throop III')
is a fictional character and collective pseudonym created by R. A. J.
Phillips in a story which appeared in Analog Science Fiction and
Science Fact magazine in July 1964. With the encouragement of editor
John W. Campbell, Throop subsequently figured in additional stories
by other authors. The archetypal Throop story finds him within a
large bureaucracy which, solely by his acid-penned memos, he causes
to self-destruct, whereupon he disappears until the next story. In
mid-December 1984, Analog published a special Kelvin Throop humor
edition. Numerous humorous epigrams attributed to Throop were
published in Analog over a period of decades...
...Analog
Science Fiction and Fact is an American science fiction magazine. As
of 2015, it is the longest running continuously published magazine of
that genre, the June 2015 issue being number 1,000.
The
first issue of Astounding Stories, January 1930
Initially
published in 1930 in the United States as Astounding Stories as a
pulp magazine, it has undergone several name changes, primarily
toAstounding Science-Fiction in 1938, and Analog Science Fact &
Fiction in 1960. In November 1992, its logo changed to use the term
"Fiction and Fact" rather than "Fact & Fiction".
It is in the library of the International Space Station. Spanning
three incarnations since 1930, this is perhaps the most influential
magazine in the history of the genre. It remains a fixture of the
genre today...
