Introduction EMSL Analytical provides testing services to identify Campylobacter and other microbial pathogens from food and environmental samples.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that campylobacteriosis, an infectious disease caused by bacteria of the genus Campylobacter, affects over 1.3 million people every year in the United States. The agency reports that Campylobacter is one of the most common causes of diarrheal illness and that most human illness is caused by one species, Campylobacter jejuni.
In addition to diarrhea, most people who become ill with campylobacteriosis have cramping, abdominal pain and fever within two to five days after exposure to the organism. The diarrhea can be accompanied by nausea and vomiting. The illness typically lasts about one week; however, some infected people do not have any symptoms. For those with compromised immune systems, the bacteria occasionally spread to the bloodstream which can cause a serious and potentially life-threatening infection.
To help prevent the spread of pathogens, EMSL Analytical, Inc. offers food, surface and environmental testing services for Campylobacter and a wide range of other microbial organisms. These services are available to the public, health officials and industry. EMSL also recently sponsored an educational video about Campylobacter and campylobacteriosis that can be seen at: https://youtu.be/kQEuT2DUjTE.

Having guest come to stay can be a pain in the bum ;) Here are some awesome things to do with your visitors in Johannesburg.
The trailing spouse - what a title to be given - truth behind the expat way of life, and how to recapture your new identity.
One of the joys and stains of expat life is visitors. As fun as it is, it can also be disruptive, expensive and tiring. Here are our 8 tips on how to make the best out of the time you have together….
Join the challenge, take 15 minutes out of your day to refocus on what matters most.
time to say no to Trailing Spouse, and reignite your passion and sparkle.
One of the most enjoyable parts about being an expat is having friends and family come over to visit. While living in South Africa might have its frustrations and challenges at times, visitors to South Africa are never disappointed.
It can be difficult to keep up to date with everything going on in Joburg, but following the more popular social media profiles, and keeping an eye on Facebook events will help to keep you in the loop.
Nowhere, and everywhere! I'm currently in transit, which is exciting: though right now I am in Johannesburg, South Africa for three months. I have lived in London for the past 10 years, so call London and Auckland my home bases.
What do you love about your current city, what makes it special?
Johannesburg has got incredible weather (it's winter and it's sunny and reasonably warm everyday!), it has an endless number of beautifully designed restaurants (there's a big eating out culture here) and it's a great base to explore the rest of South Africa: the beautiful mountain ranges of the Drakensburg are close by, Kruger National park isn't too far, and Durban and the coast and Cape Town are only a short fligt away.
What is your current business venture?
With zoe&zest, my goal is to help women to age better and live longer! Advances in science means better ageing for us all, so I'm building a platform for curated products, approaches and science related to ageing, to make it easier for women to access the incredible (and useful!) information that's out there.
What things do you always ask your guests to bring out for you from home?
Marmite (the NZ and UK marmite is so different!) and Whittaker's chocolate, it's up there with the best in the world, it's so good!
In what ways have you changed personally or professionally since living abroad?
Living abroad has really helped to grow my confidence. Whenever I need a little confidence boost I remind myself that I managed to move to the other side of the world on my own, embark on a successful career and formed an amazing group of friends.
It also made me more open to opportunities, getting in to the mindset of saying 'yes' to things that come my has had such a positive impact on my life. It's a habit I'm going to continue to try and nurture.
What are some of your personal highlights since living abroad?
Seeing so much of the world has been an incredible experience, getting to see places I never thought I would. Forming such close friendships and such a tight-knit circle of friends was an unexpected bonus of living abroad - your friends become your family, and I feel so blessed to know that we will be friends for life. The job opportunities available in London also meant that I was able to succeed career wise, and being a head of marketing and communications teams was something that I was very proud of. Finally, meeting my partner has been a highlight. If I had stayed at home I would never have met my amazing man who is South African, of Portuguese heritage and loves adventure and exploring the world as much as I do, so that is definitely a personal highlight!
What was the trigger that made you start up your own business? How did you have the initial idea?
I had been doing a lot of thinking about my lifestyle; living in London life can be frenetic, balancing a demanding career, a lot of socialising and travel, and whilst it's great for a chapter in one's life, I had decided that I wanted more balance. But most importantly, I wanted freedom to be able to live anywhere around the world and to create the type of lifestyle that I enjoy. Creating that location independence is much easier if you have your own business! I also realised that if I worked as hard at my own business as I did at work, that I could be successful (one of my fears is that I wouldn't be!).
I had lots of ideas swirling around in my mind, but I decided to see a transition advisor/career change coach, as I wanted to make sure that I chose an idea that was right for me, and that could be built upon to create a business. Working with Rikke was the best thing I could have done, as the idea I am taking forward now, evolved over the three months I worked with her, and it's something I feel really excited about - as well as reassured that it's a viable business idea!
What areas of your business have you struggled with? Where and how have you got help for that?
So far the biggest challenge has been staying focused on one thing at a time and trying to avoid feeling overwhelmed! There are so many things that need to be done and could be done when you're starting a business and on occasion I've felt the weight of that, but having a coach has helped me immensely. Rikke set me specific goals to help me stay focused and always replies to my slightly panicked emails giving me reassurance when I need it!
I also try to read/listen to podcasts regularly, to make sure I'm learning - and then implementing - good work habits to help me stay focused, such as working in 45 min sprints, setting myself just three things to achieve each day etc. There are so many free, excellent, resources out there these days, to help fledging entrepreneurs like me.
What have been some of your business highlights / rewarding moments (why should others set up their own business).
I love the sense of freedom, and reward it brings. To know that you are responsible for creating a successful business is exciting, and when you start to see small successes, it's really exciting. For me, it's still very early days, but one of the highlights has been setting up my Instagram and really engaging with people on that platform, it's nice to know people are enjoying the content you are producing! One of the other surprises/highlights is how supportive online communities can be. I am part of two for entrepreneurs, and they're filled the gap where my team used to be when I worked. It's so helpful to have people who understand where you are in your journey and you can bounce ideas off, as well as get encouragement when you need it! A final highlight was the response I got from people when I finally felt confident enough to tell people about my idea. Friends and family have been incredibly supportive, and that's been lovely.
What is the best bit of advice you can give for others wanting to set up on their own?
I love Anais Nin's quote: 'Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage'. It can be terrifying making the decision to go out on your own, but it's worth having the courage to do so, as the rewards can be so great. Seeing a coach in the beginning feels like a big investment, but one I highly recommend, as they can help you get something off the ground much more quickly than you might be able to do on your own, and it's so helpful to have guidance from someone who is experienced in the world of entrepreneurship. I also remind myself, that if I need to, or want to for whatever reason, you can always go back to work, or get a freelance, part-time or contract role - that always gives me comfort knowing that I have options if I need to earn money to support my business.
Have you adopted any new customs or traditions from various places you have lived?
Drinking tea whilst I work, is strangely one tradition I have adopted. In England, it was builders tea (Yorkshire tea or Tetley's) or Earl Grey, when I travel I love trying the tea locals tend to drink, Turkey has the best mint tea for example, and now I am based in South Africa for three months, I've adopted Rooibos tea as my go-to, I love working with a pot of tea beside me!
What is different about your normal routine currently compared to what it would be back at home?
It's definitely a little harder working whilst being on the road, and I've had to adopt some flexibility with my routine. I usually like to wake up, do some yoga and meditate, have breakfast and start working and work through to lunchtime, but when you're travelling that routine can be interrupted, by travel, lack of wifi etc. We are travelling for eight months at the moment, and I try to have as many days as possible that are close to that normal routine, but I don't get too stressed if it doesn't work out, I just switch things around and on those days try and do a lot of reading, or squeeze in 10 mins of yoga in the evening, having a list of things I need to achieve each month means I can select something off that list that I can fit into a shorter timeframe or I can do without wifi for example.
Podcast: At the moment it's John Lee Dumas - I love that his podcasts are short but jam-packed with helpful hints and tips.
Quote: "Go forth boldly, joyfully, and courageously", John Cranna from the Creative Hub said this whilst I was doing a creative writing course with him and I latched on to it. I love it as it embodies how I would like to live my life.
DInner: Any where in Parkhurst, their Main Street has a great vibe and lots of good restaurants.
Drinks: The Westcliff, Four Seasons Hotel. The restaurant/bar has the best views in the City, and it's such a pleasant place to while away a few hours.
Day trip: I recently did the hop-on, hop-off bus tour with a tour of Soweto included, and I highly recommend that combo. Johanesburg is such a big city it's great to see it from a double-decker bus and to hear the history of this interesting city (founded during the gold rush and is the largest man-made forest in the world!), and going to Soweto gives you perspective on Jo'burg and South Africa generally. Also, Sun City, Cradle of Mankind or the Lion Park are apparently very good, I haven't yet been but they are on my hit list!
Must see: The Apartheid Museum, it's a world-class museum that shines the light on South Africa's fascinating, and fraught, history, as well as key figures like Nelson Mandela. I can't recommend it enough.
Coolest Shop / Brand: shesaid.co.za - is an amazing blogger here in SA, who has loads of blog posts of cool brands, shops and places to go in Jo'burg. I haven't been here long enough to have found one, but I take her word for it!
Best entertainment: Trying out all of the different restaurants in this city! They've also recently regenerated Maboneng, a cool area with markets and great restaurants and bars.
Favourite way to stay fit: I usually like to join a yoga/pilates studio and then just add in a short workout at home or a run around the neighbourhood, but the gyms here deserve a special mention. They are phenomenal. Because they have space in Johannesburg the gyms are all huge. You could almost spend a day in the Virgin Active close to where we stay: it has a couple of yoga/pilates studios, an exercise studio, multiple gym areas as well as a cafe.
If you could go back and give yourself advice what would it be?
To believe in yourself. You have got what it takes and with some self-belief and knowing when to ask for help, you can set up a successful business.
Car hacks for traveling with kids. Making the best out of your Road Trips when traveling as a family. Best Games, Food, Activities for everyone!
At the end of our first year in Joburg we headed to the Transkei for Christmas. It was the longest road trip we had ever done. We drove the route over 2 long days which looking back will be one of the most memorable trips we have taken for good and bad reasons. Good: Beautiful scenery and the sense of adventure in the new routes undertaken. Bad: locking the keys and the dogs in the car, a burst oil pipe and driving through the largest thunder storm over Van Buren pass (at night) in years. What a journey, loved (in hindsight) every minute.
After we finally arrived we met our lovely neighbours. They were a South Africa family that have been coming to the same spot for generations, and they all had driven down in one go, it was clear that South Africans know all about road trips!! Our Zimbabwean friends make our road trips look tame, and border crossing are for a whole new post!. We are learning, and now Road Trips are something we have come to love and don't think twice about jumping in the car for a weekend away to Durban (5/6yrs) or out to Madikwe (4/5yrs).
Are you heading away over the December holidays? Come pick up hints and tips to stay safe and enjoy the experience on our monthly Webinar - 5th December.
This year we are driving 16 hours down to Cape Town with twin boys (2yrs) and our girl (4yrs) and ridgeback dog, which is going to take some preparation.
Here is my research to date, which covers - route selection, places to stay and other tips for making it the best road trip ever!!
Not heading to Cape Town but Plet or Port Elizabeth - Click here for Back Road Route, highlighting some wonderful stop overs and places to eat along the way.
1. Windmill casino in Bloemfontein (the Spur) has a good play area for the kids and off the road so the dogs can run around a bit.
1. Matjiesfontein - very cute little town. Nice to grab lunch at the coffee shop, dogs can sit out back with you. Nice to walk around the town as well.
• The big petrol stations have grassy areas for the dogs so make great pit stops.
• Pull over into hard shoulder (yellow line) to let cars pass and then thank other drivers by flashing your hazard lights.
• Don't leave your bag or valuables in the car when stopping at service station and double check manually your car is locked as car jammers (systems that block your automatic central locking) operate over the holiday season.
• Avoid traveling in the dark (the conditions of the roads aren't always great, and often deserted).
The best advice I have is to download this app! It literally enables you to get the support you need where ever you are in country.
Also your insurance details, who to call in emergency and break down.
This year shop locally for your Christmas Gifts, here is our selection of luxury african gifts for the whole family.
South Africa has a wealth of natural beauty, and with so many different kinds of landscapes all over the country there are so many places to explore.


Many in the Heath IT (HIT) community are abuzz on a report from CNBC that Aetna and Apple are in discussions to roll out Apple Watches to all 23 Million Aetna customers.
Much of the initial reaction has focused on two things. First, from a purely tech market perspective, this could re-energize the wearable market that failed to explode when Apple introduced the watch in 2015. Second, we are seeing a continuing refrain that there is little to no scientific consensus that wearables, step counting and the like improve health outcomes or wellness.
My reaction to this was very different and I want to offer an alternative take to this news.
One of the major identified challenges with Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) is member churn where patients are attributed in and out of the population before any intervention can be effective or any meaningful progress achieved. Contrast that with the smartphone which is the most potent tool for engaging a consumer ever invented. While the Apple Watch may or may not make someone healthier and may or may not have a killer feature that everyone needs to have, every patient given an Apple Watch has to have a phone. Presumably, the Aetna or ACO app is on that phone. This tool creates an engagement channel to drive enrollment, engagement, and attribution for years, not months.
With great power comes great responsibility, simply having a presence on each member's phone isn't going to matter if the member can't do anything to engage with you. Smartphone and wearable apps are only useful if they are helpful. The right organization to capitalize on this makes it simple to schedule an appointment or answer a question. Taken together this adds up to engagement, engagement leads to attribution, attribution means revenue will continue to flow uninterrupted. Are there opportunities to also influence health and outcomes? Sure, but most high-cost patients eventually regress to the mean, some low-cost patients eventually have accidents and illness. The win for an insurer and an ACO is to have a patient engaged and enrolled long enough to capitalize on the population trends.
Again, this isn't really about the watch specifically but it allows Aetna and Apple to further push for the smartphone ecosystem (no Apple watch works without an iPhone) to be a critical source of patient health data. This patient data source could be in opposition to the EHR or in concert with the EHR again depending on the organization involved.
As has been reported, Apple's software framework for healthcare dubbed HealthKit has long been built with EHR interoperability baked in. This can't be reported on enough but every iPhone has a built in HL7 Clinical Document Architecture (CDA) Reader. You can see it Apple's own documentation. FHIR and other standards also won't be far behind if they gain adoption.
Aetna knows their claims information is insufficient for advanced use cases in population health. They want more comprehensive clinically derived data set. They maybe can look ahead and see ACOs that don't process claims at all. On the flipside, they can't integrate with thousands of EHRs across hundreds of vendors. They can ask their members to allow their smart phones to send information. The same way every other app on the phone sends information to your service providers from Facebook, Google, Uber etc.

IRJ's 12-point plan for a zero-carbon railway
December 23, 2019 | David Briginshaw
Rail's resurgence gathers pace across the world
IF more evidence is needed of the growing resurgence of rail transport, then look no further than the August issue of IRJ. Expansion is underway in many parts of the world from Asia via the Middle East and Africa to Europe and across the Atlantic to the Americas. For someone who has been writing about railways for 30 years, the contrast between now and the 1980s could not be greater as the outlook back then was far from certain and in many cases decidedly bleak.
Our coverage this month of the large number of rail and transit projects either underway or planned in the Middle East clearly demonstrates the transformation taking place in a region that was virtually devoid of railways. Rail now dominates transport spending with just over half of the $US 170 million to be spent on transport projects by the member states of the Gulf Cooperation Council earmarked for rail. Middle East rail investment is being driven by the desire to unlock the region's vast untapped mineral wealth and provide a new sustainable transport backbone for freight and passenger traffic.
The first phase of Saudi Arabia's massive North-South Railway project opens at the end of this year, followed two years later by the region's first high-speed line. Work is due to start next year on the first line of a planned 1500km rail network serving the United Arab Emirates, which in turn will pave the way for the long-planned Gulf Railway.
In Africa, construction is underway on the continent's first high-speed line linking Tangiers with Kénitra in Morocco, while rail transport is set to return to Sierra Leone as part of a project to extract iron-ore and ship it to the coast. Add to this the huge project to build a rail network in Libya and the initial success of South Africa's Gautrain project, and we have the start of a rail revival in Africa.
In Europe, France has declared that rail will become the number one priority for transport investment in line with the country's declaration to reduce CO2 emissions by 100 million tonnes over the next 50 years. To back this up, a new €170 billion national transport infrastructure plan is being drawn up of which 52% will be dedicated to rail. In the meantime, French Rail Network (RFF) has unveiled plans to invest €4 billion in the Paris region and has awarded a PPP concession for the 340km Tours - Bordeaux high-speed line.
The French government wants to see a huge transfer of passengers and freight from road to rail as a result of these initiatives, but this will require a change in attitude by national operator SNCF. Individual high-speed services are excellent, but regional passenger services are only being developed piecemeal and there is a general failure to operate services as an integrated network. The quality of SNCF's railfreight services remains poor, and SNCF seems more concerned with developing its road freight business which is seen as an easy option compared with getting the unions to implement much-needed changes in working practices.
In addition, France has the worst track record of any European Union member state for implementing the First Railway Package designed to liberalise the European railfreight market. Stifling competition is not the way to increase traffic.
In the Americas, preliminary works are underway for Florida's Orlando - Tampa high-speed line, hopefully the first of several such projects in the United States, and Brazil is pushing at breakneck speed to launch its high-speed project although its excessive haste could backfire as the promoters have been ordered to repeat some geological studies. The decision to invest in long-distance passenger rail transport represents a major change in national policy in both countries, particularly Brazil which, for such a huge country, has only two such services remaining.
China is also a country in a hurry as it forges ahead at incredible speed to build its massive high-speed network. As we report this month, tracklaying has started on the 1318km Beijing - Shanghai line, which the Chinese say they will complete within five months.
Mr Gerhard Schulz, Arcadis' chief supervising engineer on the Wuhan - Guangzhou project, speaking at the recent Global Transport Forum high-speed rail conference in Barcelona, gave an insight into how such an incredible feat is possible. He says that huge numbers of people, such as farmers living along the route of a new line, are co-opted onto the project and trained in specific tasks.
China's autocratic management helps to achieve results, and target completion dates cannot be changed which keeps projects on time. Extensive use is made of standardised solutions for structures such as bridges and viaducts, which while not particularly aesthetically pleasing save considerable time and money.
Speaking at the same conference, Mr Alex Tourski, deputy director of High Speed Rail Lines, Russia, which is planning the Moscow - St Petersburg high-speed project, made an interesting point. "We realise the number of countries that want to build high-speed lines is greater than the number of banks and construction companies able to realise them, so we need to prepare our project well to be able to compete for such scarce resources."
Who would have thought just a few years ago that rail projects would be challenging the world's engineering and financial resources? How the fortunes of rail have changed.

Dümmer ist eine Gemeinde im Landkreis Ludwigslust-Parchim in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (Deutschland). Sie wird vom Amt Stralendorf mit Sitz in der Gemeinde Stralendorf verwaltet.

Geografie
Dümmer liegt rund 14 Kilometer südwestlich von Schwerin und 16 Kilometer nördlich von Hagenow am Dümmersee, durch welchen die Sude fließt.

Umgeben wird Dümmer von den Nachbargemeinden Gottesgabe im Norden, Grambow und Zülow im Nordosten, Stralendorf im Osten, Warsow und Schossin im Südosten, Hülseburg im Süden, Wittendörp im Westen sowie Perlin im Nordwesten.

Ortsteile der Gemeinde sind:
 Dümmer (mit Dümmerhütte, Dümmerstück, Dümmerstück Hof, Kowahl)
 Parum (Eingemeindung am 13. Juni 1999)
 Walsmühlen (Eingemeindung am 15. Januar 1973)

Geschichte
Hügelgräber und Urnenfelder zeugen davon, dass in der Nähe des Dümmer Sees in den Jahrtausenden nach der Eiszeit immer wieder Menschen lebten, um 600 z. B. slawische Siedler, die Obotriten. Auch der Ortsname entstammt der westslawischen Sprache Polabisch, in der das Wort "düm" für Familie und Haus steht.

Dümmer wurde erstmals im Ratzeburger Zehntregister 1230 erwähnt. Bei Walsmühlen vermutet man, dass eine an der Sude erbaute Mühle Namensgeber war. Der Name der Siedlung Dümmerhütte erklärt sich durch die ab 1645 in Dümmer ansässigen Glashütten. Der Ort Parum wurde 1194 erstmals erwähnt. Die erste Schule in Dümmer wurde 1710 eröffnet. Am 6. März 1719 fand in der Gemarkung während des Großen Nordischen Krieges ein Gefecht zwischen Mecklenburgischen und Hannoveranischen Truppen statt, wobei die Mecklenburger von dem späteren preußischen Generalfeldmarschall Kurt Christoph von Schwerin geführt wurden.

Am 1. Juli 1950 wurden die bis dahin eigenständigen Gemeinden Dümmerhütte und Dümmerstück Hof eingegliedert.

1968 entstand ein Naherholungsgebiet am Dümmersee.

Sehenswürdigkeiten

 Die Dorfkirche Parum ist eine gotische Backsteinkirche mit Feldsteinsockel, deren Mittelschiff um 1450 entstand. Erweiterungen erfuhr das Bauwerk im Ortsteil Parum um 1770 mit dem Holzturm und um 1870 mit einem neuen Chor und dem Querschiff im Stil der Neugotik. Ebenfalls neogotisch ist die Inneneinrichtung. Die Orgel wurde 1871 erbaut, sie stammt von Johann Heinrich Runge. Eine Restaurierung erfolgte 2005.
 Der Schlossberg im Schleusenholz östlich von Dümmer ist eine mittelalterliche Burganlage. Nach Überlieferungen aus dem 14. Jahrhundert wurde sie durch Vasallen des Stifts Ratzeburg errichtet. Wegen der Nähe zur Grafschaft Schwerin kam ihr eine besondere Bedeutung zu. Der heute von einem Wald bewachsene Berg mit dem ihm umgebenden Graben ist als Bodendenkmal ausgewiesen, erkennbar durch ein Schild.

Verkehrsanbindung
Der nächste Anschluss zur Bundesautobahn 24 befindet sich in Wittenburg in 13 Kilometern Entfernung.

It was night and I was in the upper floor of a building, looking down over a creek, and with a view of a highway that curved along a mountain ridge. A few moments later, the sky filled with multi-coloured symbols that looked like coloured crop circles in the darkened sky. A group of light beings danced hand-in-hand across the sky, against the backdrop of galactic symbols. I realized what was happening and yelled to my friends. COME SEE THIS!!! THEY ARE HERE!!! They have finally arrived for everyone to see!!!
Again we looked out the window and saw what looked like a galactic celebration. The sky was crowded with ships, symbols, and multiple bursts of light, like a gigantic fireworks display. Their range, brilliance and intensity of colour were dazzling. Losing all sense of time we stared, spellbound, savouring the fact that everything we had hoped for had finally come true.
I looked down to see that the sky's powerful energy had turned the creek into what appeared to be white water rapids. On the highway, cars had stopped and everyone was looking up at the sky.
What a feeling to be left with as I began a new day in 3D!
Vivid dreams such as these provide us with a preview of what is to come. The energy was loving, and all-encompassing.
As Jean-Luc Picard said in Star Trek: The Next Generation: "Make it so".

Web site with mystery course syllabi.
On behalf of the Literacy Committee of Mystery Writers of America, I am compiling a Web page with mystery course syllabi to assist instructors new to teaching mystery and detective fiction as well as those who wish to compare their approach to that of their colleagues.
The page also features a short video I produced, "A Gallery of American Mystery Writers," which I provide here as well. Only deceased writers are included in an effort to provide a historical panorama; availability of photographs also affected the video.
Happy birthday, G. K. Chesterton.
• Read his "A Defense of Detective Stories" (1901).
• Read his "The Admiral Eats His Hat: How to Write Detective Stories" (1921). ". . . the very design of a detective story is a matter not of creation but of construction. . . . let the villain [be] . . . a very viper on the hearth."
• Read his "On Detective Novels" (1922). "...the detective story is . . . a drama of masks and not of faces."
• Watch Chesterton at Worcester College (1931).
John Huston's Let There Be Light.
In honor of Memorial Day, you can view The Reawakening (1919), a short documentary on the rehabilitation of wounded World War I servicemen at a hospital near Chicago, as well as Let There Be Light (1946), John Huston's long-suppressed film (narrated by his dad, Walter) on World War II veterans with PTSD. Both films were restored by the National Film Preservation Foundation.
Want to see a classic republished?
The Neglected Books blog calls our attention to the Hesperus Press competition, in which you can nominate an out-of-print book for republishing. The clock is ticking, though—the submission deadline is June 1. Hesperus tends to publish short, more obscure works that are in the public domain and are penned by well-known authors.
Update. The Forgotten Stories blog has thanked the Bunburyist for providing additional information on Hass.
The Houghton Library blog reveals that Louisa May Alcott, in an 18-year period, raked in more than $100,000 in royalties, in comparison to Henry James ($58,503) and Herman Melville ($10,444). An approximate comparison in today's dollars would be $2.5 million for Alcott, $1.4 million for James, and $257,000 for Melville.
Coming up: Nancy Drew, DC mysteries panels.
I'm moderating two upcoming panels at the American Women Writers National Museum in Washington, DC: "Mysterious Women Who Know Their Place" on Friday, June 8 (on DC-area mysteries, with Donna Andrews, Karna Small Bodman, Ellen Crosby, and Marcia Talley, and including some past authors who used DC locales) and "Derring-Do and Nancy Drew Us In" on Tuesday, July 10 (on this girl sleuth's enduring appeal, with Georgetown's Leona Fisher, Mystery Loves Company's Kathy Harig, and University of Maryland-College Park's Ann Hudak). My events page is here.
Mystery highlights for May, Radio Hall of Fame.
May audio highlights at the Radio Hall of Fame include "Murder with Malice" (1974, with a son plotting the murder of his father) from CBS Radio Mystery Theater and "Accident According to Plan" (1945, with a coworker's jealousy taking a sinister turn) from The Whistler. Also included: the famed broadcast by Herbert Morrison of the May 6, 1937, Hindenburg disaster.

Mystery films in CCNY exhibition.
Mystery-related movies in City College of New York Libraries' exhibition "Cinematic Allusions to Literary Works" include Blow-Up (dir. Michelangelo Antonioni, 1966) and The Killers (dir. Robert Siodmak, 1946). Mason Adams discussed the short story version of The Killers in "Hemingway's Nick Adams and the Creation of Raymond Chandler's Philip Marlowe" in Clues 26.2 (2010).
The University of Delaware Libraries exhibition "Dickens at 200," which runs until June 8, discusses the uncompleted Mystery of Edwin Drood, including attempts by some authors to have Sherlock Holmes solve the case and the 1914 mock trial of protagonist John Jasper that featured G. K. Chesterton as judge and George Bernard Shaw as jury foreman.
McFarland has now issued Ed McBain/Evan Hunter: A Literary Companion by Erin E. MacDonald, volume 3 in the McFarland Companions to Mystery Fiction series that I edit (volume 1 on John Buchan; volume 2 on E. X., aka Elizabeth, Ferrars; volume 5 on Andrea Camilleri). In this work MacDonald, who wrote her dissertation on McBain, provides comprehensive coverage of the multifaceted career of this author/screenwriter and MWA Grand Master who was a pioneer of the police procedural and had an interesting working relationship with Alfred Hitchcock.
There's now a DVD available of Writing as I Should (2010), a film on Batya Gur (1947–2005), the Israeli mystery writer who created Jerusalem-based Chief Inspector (later Chief Superintendent) Michael Ohayon.
Poe's Bronx cottage wins award.

Factories and mines hired many young boys and girls. Nimble-fingered and quick moving children got to work in the textile mills changing spools and such things. Other children, especially the smallest, clambered through narrow mine shafts pushing coal carts. During this time many people thought that child labor was okay or it was at least accepted. Generally, the children who worked in the coal mines or textile mills where poor children coming from not so wealthy families.
The families economic situation were a problem, therefor were the money that the working children made a good and well-needed income. Employers often hired orphans. No, this happened for a very simple reason. The orphans gladly received a job if they where offered one, because they needed the money more than anyone did. This, many child labor during the industrial revolution thesis took advantaged of so they hired them, sometimes with no salary at all, just offering them a minimum of food and off course they had to work very long hours.
Because they are students and not scientists or something like that I think their site is a bit subjective. The other pages I have logged on to tells you in a more objective way about the subject.
That was a good source with good facts because the people who got interviewed were people who had been part of child labor, either as a laborer or as an overlooker. Because of the time difference, how did the child labor in Great Britain differ from the child labor in America? Working hours and food quality In booth Great Britain and America it was only children from poor families who worked in the factories such as textile mills and canning industries. Children working in factories were often from 6 years old and up.
They often played the role as assistance to the older people working in the textile industries.
The working conditions were awful for the children, many of them worked about 12-20 hours per day with only, sometimes none, 1 hour break. The food they got were by very bad quality for example the food was covered with dust. Factory owners provided with water, porridge and oatcakes, which was coarse and thick.
Sometimes they were dipped in cold water or whipped. There was no level of safety working in factories. Children were consequently injured and killed and there was nothing done about it.
Typical accidents involved children losing their arms and legs, this was because of the heavy machinery they child labor during the industrial revolution thesis to manage. If a child were injured and had to go see a doctor he or she immediately got their wages stopped and there were no compensation or medical attendance.
Working in the factories were life risking because its life or death situation. Many employers hired orphans, which was a cheap labor. They worked long hours for a minimum wage and sometimes for no wage at all. The employers felt that giving the orphans a place to work and some food was enough.
Employers hired children mostly because they were cheap labor. You could have thought that the child labor situation came from some kind of lack of workers situation but that was not the case. There were a lot of strong men with the muscles you needed, to have the energy to keep up the good work for a whole day in the factories and men who also had good experience working with heavy machines, out in the market.
Instead of hiring these men employers chose the children who were a lot cheaper and secondly, which might be an even stronger reason, the employers could boss around the children and do what ever they wanted with them. This I think would have been a problem if there were only grown — up men working. An example of the horrible working condition these people had to work under is taken from an interview with a woman named Isabel Wilson, 38 years old.
She said during the interview that she had been married for 19 years and had 10 children. The last child she gave birth to was born on a Saturday morning and she said that she had been working in the coal mines during the whole Friday night! He was asked questions about his work as a child. He started working as an 8 year old in a factory as a pieciner a job small children did which were about watching the machines and fix them if they broke.
He work from 6 a. The job of his he said was very laborious because he had to continually run back and forth all day on his feet. It was very hard to keep up with the work. An affect of this running was that the products sometimes child labor during the industrial revolution thesis hurt which reduces the products value on the market, this was because not all children had the energy to keep running all day with a maximum of 1-hour break many times.
They were beaten with a strap and sometimes a stick or some kind of a roller, which runs on top of the machines. The consequent of piecing upon the hands he said was that it maid them bleed and that the skin was completely rubbed of. And in that case they bled perhaps in dozen parts. John Allett started working in the textile mills when he was 14 years old.
I was an eye-witness of one. A child was working wool, that is, to prepare the wool for the machine; but the strap caught him, as he was hardly awake, and it carried him into the machinery; and we found one child labor during the industrial revolution thesis in one place, one in another, and he was cut to bits; his whole body went in, and was mangled.
Alexander Dean was born in Dundee in 1806. He was asked that if people got injured a lot working in the mills and if anybody in his neighborhood was strikingly deformed. This, Alexander Dean said was because of his work in the mills. He also told about a horrible accident that happened to a child who were to tired to do her job properly: I was about three or four yards from her when I heard the snap, and by the time I came up to her, her thumb was away from her hand. The Industrial Revolution was a conclusive turn in the development of society.
Society came to be much more modern and developed so fast that this time period was called the Industrial Revolution. It was a revolution, because from being an agriculture society it turned fast in just a few decades to being an industrial society. During the 19th century Great Britain were a quite capitalistic country therefor private persons owned many factories. These factories goals were to make such a great profit as possible.
When the steam machine was invented many new things could be made and with a greater speed. In these cotton industries you found a lot of children working. Because of the big need of making money, child labor was perfect!
The children were like ants; they got forced to carry and have the energy to do more than their body was created for. The employers could feed the children with a lot lesser food than with a grown — up man and lesser food equals lesser expenses.
Off course they could and they did.
The child labor was constructed in a strange way. Young children worked as much as anyone, got lesser food and a smaller paycheck. A great deal for the employer, a great loss for the child. The working conditions, the food, the working hours and the factories were pretty much the same. There was something though that made them a bit different.
Because of Great Britain was the first leading country during the Industrial Revolution, the way of expose children was something new and not so well known thing. But in 1802 the first Factory Act came child labor during the industrial revolution thesis limited the working hours in the cotton industry to 12 hours a day for the orphans that the employers could easily take advantage of.
Year 1819 the act were recreated and now it was supposed to apply all children in the cotton industry. During 1833 a new Factory Act was created and this one was taken much more seriously. Now governmental inspectors were hired to make sure that the law was followed. They had the fully right to go into the factories and observe the work.
With this law there were a few new arrangements which said that children working in the textile industry were only allowed to work for 8 — 12 hours a day and children under 13 years old were besides obligated to attend school for at least 2 hours a day.
When all this laws started to become established in Great Britain the Industrial Revolution began to rise in America. Even if child labor was quite new and unknown thing in America, just as it had been in Great Britain in the beginning, you knew more about it and maybe the Factory Acts had reached America from the continent far away.
A great condition for industrialization is that there is a large amount of labor and that there was more than enough during the Industrial Revolution.
Because that it was all about making money, the factories that provided with the products that the people wanted to buy made a great profit using child labor because it was so cheap having them as labor.
For an industrial society to gain from its private owned industries you need to have people, companies and off course the state to be willing to invest money. I think that during this time the society kind of turned a blind eye to the child injustice because they knew that they would also gain from it.
You could have thought that the child labor situation came from some kind of lack of workers situation but that was not the case. Throughout the time frame of late 1800s-early 1900s, children worked long hours in dangerous factory conditions for very little wages.
He was asked that if people got injured a lot working in the mills and if anybody in his neighborhood was strikingly deformed.
Without an education, their most likely not going to be able to have a job that makes enough money to get out of poverty.
Child labor gave children today a chance to have a childhood and to spend time with their parents or have a play-date with their best friends.
They would make money because they had invested in these companies that promised low expenses and great profits. They could hire cheap labor and just gain from it. I guess that many of these factory owners were quite conservative and if they had had any party to vote for I think they would have voted for the Moderate Party.
They have the same thinking and wants very much the same as a moderate thinking person wants. They vote for private owned companies and wants to earn money.
Conclusions Reading about this subject has been very fascinating. Using children for labor is a somewhat smart idea, consider the price you have to pay for them and the price you gain from them and you have the cheapest labor you can get. They still worked almost as much and in my point of view I think they should had been paid more because they had to put in so much more energy in it than the adults. And something else I think is worth consider is that these children looses so much in their life than an adult man does.
This child should be able to go to school and play with his friends in his sparetime and do things children wants and has to do to develop properly. I understand that it was different back then and that children had to help their families, but when I think of helping the family I think more on such things as help cleaning the house, helping in the kitchen and maybe help out on the farm or whatever.
They could have spent more time in the school than in the factories and therefor getting themselves an education and be able to support their families when they got older. If the children would have had the free. Kontot skapar du endast via facebook.

Interactions between native and non-native species in the Strawberry Reservoir ecosystem
Jamie ReynoldsFollow
Wildland Resources
Phaedra Budy
Predation and competition are natural ecological processes, though these interactions occasionally cause alarm among humans when ecosystem services are involved (e.g. popular fisheries) in highly managed systems. The population of American white pelican (Pelecanus erythrorhynchos) at Strawberry Reservoir (Utah) has increased dramatically in the last decade, as have the populations of Utah sucker (Catostomus ardens) and Utah chub (Gila atraria). Anglers and managers are concerned that predation by pelicans and competition from non-game fish species are negatively impacting the reservoir's Bonneville cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarkii utah). My project focuses on non-game fishes and is part of a larger project that examines pelican predation potential on fishes, with an emphasis on cutthroat trout. Project goals included assessing potential for net bias, estimating age-class structure and body condition of non-game fishes, and determining the relative impact pelicans have on the different fish species of the reservoir. We caught multiple species of fishes using trap nets and gill nets, measured all captured fishes, and gathered pelican diet samples. Using a Kolmogorov-Smirnov test we determined that gillnets caught larger fishes. Based on length-weight regressions and Fulton's K factor, we observed higher body condition for Utah chub than Utah sucker. By identifying dominant modes of size-frequency distributions and comparing the modes to age-at-length data from previous studies, we estimated that captured Utah chub were age one and above while captured Utah sucker were age four and above. We evaluated the relationships between the number of pelicans and the catch-per-unit-effort of fishes at four different locations in the reservoir, and we observed no clear relationship. These results will provide useful information for fish population modeling in the future, for informing the next and final season of field data collection, and for critical management decisions for both birds and fishes in the reservoir.

Steelers Still Have Shot At AFC's No. 3 Seed, and That's A Worthy Prize
Posted on December 6, 2018 by Tony Defeo Standard
The Steelers pretty much blew their last realistic chance at earning one of the AFC's top seeds and the accompanying bye with their late implosion in a 33-30 loss to the Chargers at Heinz Field on Sunday night.
With a month to go in the season, the Steelers (7-4-1) trail both the Texans (9-3) and Patriots (9-3) in the race for at least the number two seed (I think it's safe to forget about the top overall seed, what with the Chiefs (10-2) showing no real signs of slowing down).
Pittsburgh is reeling a bit after two-straight defeats, and with the Ravens breathing down their necks, only a half-a-game out of first place in the AFC North, just as many people are worried about the Black and Gold making the playoffs at all, as they are about seeding.
As for those worried about seeding, most have already accepted the reality of the No. 4 seed and a first-round rematch with the Chargers at Heinz Field.
But while a one-and-a-half deficit in the standings with four weeks left is a rather large one to overcome, especially when you're chasing two teams, it's not totally impossible when you still have one of those teams remaining on your schedule.

That team would be New England, who comes to town in less than two weeks for yet another mid-December showdown to determine AFC playoff positioning.
Let's say both the Steelers and Patriots hold serve this week (with Pittsburgh traveling to Oakland to take on a very bad Raiders team, holding serve is the only acceptable outcome), New England would arrive at Heinz Field with the same one-and-a-half game lead on December 16.
If Pittsburgh can do something it hasn't done in seven years and defeat the Patriots, that would obviously shrink the deficit down to one half of one game.
From that point on, it's a matter of New England stumbling one more time and the Steelers winning-out in-order to earn that third seed.
You might say, "Big deal. What's the difference between the third and fourth seed?" To that, I say, "There's a big difference–at least this season." Assuming everything stays the same–both the Chiefs and the Texans remain hot and lock up the first and second seed, respectively–the Steelers would take on the sixth seed in the wildcard round–the way things stand now, their opponent could be one of five contenders: the Ravens, Broncos, Titans, Colts or Dolphins.
That's a heck of a lot more attractive of an option than the prospect of Philip Rivers and Co. riding into town on a lightning bolt of confidence after storming back from a 16-point deficit to win the regular season match-up on December 2.
Let the Patriots deal with the those red-hot and very-capable Chargers in the four vs. five wildcard match-up.
Back to the Steelers.
If Pittsburgh handles its business in Round 1, it's off to Houston to take on the Texans in Round 2. Yeah, sure, you'd have to face Deshaun Watson, J.J. Watt, DeAndre Hopkins and a bunch of other hungry Texans just chomping at the bit to make it to their first AFC title game. But while Watson is one of the NFL's best young quarterbacks, while T.J. Watt's older brother is one of the game's most feared defenders, while Hopkins would present a match-up nightmare for a secondary that often wakes up in a cold sweat, none of those guys are Tom Brady.
I'd say a postseason route that includes taking on the last seed in the wildcard round and the Texans in the divisional round seems a lot more manageable than having to deal with a couple of future Hall of Fame quarterbacks….just to make it to the conference championship round.
No, a number three seed isn't nearly as coveted as a bye, but it isn't chopped liver, either.
As they try to hang on and win their third-straight AFC North title, it would be in the Steelers' best interest to understand there really is a huge difference between a third seed and a fourth seed when it comes to mapping out a route for Super Bowl LIII.

Daniel J Charlton says:
I definitely agree that third seed better then fourth however now after the pats and Texans chocked this week I'm hoping for a shot at second seed. With a win today we would be a half game out of the pats and Texans. So I'm not giving up hope yet for that bye week
KT says:
Thanks. Yeah, going into the game there was hope galore for a lot of things. Now the Steelers will be lucky to make the playoffs.
Mark Lutz says:
Huge win and even bigger hurdle overcome today vs the big bad Patriots proving this team when it wants to can achieve anything let's remember we did this today without our #1 back. On to the most talented team in the league in the saints a win in the big easy would exhume this Steelers teams confidence to a season all time high then take care of business in season finale in Heinz and then its ride the peaking confidence wave all the way to Atlanta GO STEELERS !!
Yes, it was a huge win.
Anthony Defeo says:
Yeah, they needed to win this Pats game much more than last year's Pats game

Around two weeks ago, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared monkeypox a global health emergency. This occurred as a result of the virus being reported in more than 70 countries, where it caused countless deaths and hundreds more. The declaration has prompted individuals to take the virus's news more seriously and to hunt for antiviral strategies.
In this article, we'll go over ways to prevent the monkeypox virus. Let's start by looking at the virus's structure and mode of propagation.
What Is Monkeypox?
Since the monkeypox virus is zoonotic, it first spread from an animal to a person. In Congo, the first instance of monkeypox was discovered in 1970. Monkeypox virus, a member of the family Poxviridae and genus Orthopoxvirus, is responsible for the illness.
Since that time, reports of incidents have come out of other places in Central and West Africa, including Sierra Leone and Gabon. Ivory Coast, South Sudan, Liberia, Nigeria (where it is one of the prevalent zoonotic illnesses), and Liberia. As the virus increasingly assumes the status of a pandemic, it is now being found for the first time outside of Africa in Europe and North America.
The monkeypox virus is commonly spread by rodents like rats, squirrels, and monkeys.
Monkeypox can spread when a person comes into touch with an infected animal. This includes handling them carelessly or preparing them incorrectly before consumption. It might also spread via personal connections. Touching an open wound on another person, or enabling saliva or other respiratory droplet particles to touch your skin.
There were 28,220 distinct countries where monkeypox cases had been reported at the time this article was written. 27,875 of those occur outside of Africa, where monkeypox was historically common. It is also present in 88 countries, 81 of which are not in Africa.
How to Avoid Getting the Monkey Pox
Prevention is essential due to the prevalence of monkeypox cases and the unavailability of a vaccine to combat the virus. In this post, we'll examine a number of ways you might guard against the monkeypox virus.
If you suspect someone has the monkeypox, stay away from them.
Take all necessary measures to prevent them from physically touching you if you have any reason to suspect that someone you are around has the monkeypox. In other words, you shouldn't kiss, hug, or snuggle a person who is infected. It's not a good idea to share anything with someone who has the virus, not even cutlery or razor blades.
How dangerous is monkeypox?
A zoonotic virus causes monkeypox (virus transmitted from animals to humans).
Monkeypox cases have been documented in a number of nations. Therefore, it raises concern when contamination initially manifests on the skin. The most vulnerable age group is that of children under five. There hasn't yet been a single instance that can be verified to have happened in India. Discover the causes of monkeypox and how to avoid it.
How is the ape pox avoided?
Monkeypox cannot currently be treated effectively, according to the WHO. In public settings, adopting facemasks and practicing good hygiene might help avoid infection. When prescribed medication is taken, the disease frequently goes away after a week. But for other people, the condition can be exceedingly harmful or even fatal.
Monkeypox is an infectious disease caused by a virus. A red rash appears on the face after infection. This rash spreads to the hands and arms. After a day or two, they may fill with pus. These blisters are dark and blotchy marks on the skin.
How does the illness spread?
Experts say that interaction with an infected person can spread monkeypox. Through the patient's lips and nose, the virus enters the body. Squirrels, dogs, and monkeys can contract it from an infected human.
It can also spread through blood. What signs or symptoms point to this illness?
The initial signs and symptoms are similar to the flu. These symptoms include a fever, headache, aches in the back and muscles, exhaustion, and swollen lumps. The rash changes significantly as a result of infection and eventually turns into a scab.
Can the monkeypox vaccination prevent smallpox?
It turns out that the smallpox vaccine has an 85% success rate. In 2019, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) authorized the Genios vaccine. It took until 2013 for the European Medicines Agency to approve it. Only those over the age of 18 are eligible for the vaccination. Growing concern
