Blackrocks, a craft beer start-up company, first opened in Marquette, Michigan, a town of 20,000 residents, in 2010. The business evolved around a friendship and a mutual interest in craft beer and is located in Marquettes Village, an area close to the local university consisting of several full-service restaurants, sandwich shops, bars, and retail shops. The Village considers itself an independent retail section of Marquette.The ambience of Blackrocks is fun and good times. People of all ages are attracted to the bar to enjoy craft beer with their family and friends. The physical setting is rustic with a current capacity of 50 customers (soon to expand to 100 customers). Customers can bring in their own food or call a local eatery for pizza or sandwich delivery.Blackrocks has a very loose organizational structure which has worked well in the past. This case will allow students to identify the problems faced by Blackrocks in todays economy; to describe the internal and external environment of Blackrocks; to identify their core competencies; to identify Blackrocks strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats; and to develop management strategies which could further enhance the business and help them attain their mission and goals.

Abstract In the Clinton Hill neighbourhood of Brooklyn, New York, sits a nondescript eatery called The Market. The restaurant, like many small New York City restaurants, is unremarkable. Little evidence exists to capitalize on the reputation of its owner, famed performance artist Tehching Hsieh. This article examines Tehching Hsieh’s The Market as a continuation of the artist’s renowned oeuvre to consider how the restaurant might represent Hsieh’s lifelong negotiation of the boundary between art and life. By examining the restaurant as a continuation of Hsieh’s work, I consider how understandings of Hsieh’s life and work are constructed upon binaries of immigrant idealism and art world genius, which exemplify the tension between artistry and livelihoods. In arguing that The Market represents a full collapse of art and life, I consider how the restaurant both refuses such binaries and continues the interrogations of labour, withdrawal, and repetition that are present in Hsieh’s lifeworks.

The study investigated the effect of electronic banking as a panacea to corporate customers’ satisfaction in Nigeria sighting Ekiti State as a case study with a view to establish whether electronic banking tools of ATM, mobile banking, POS, e-banking implementation, awareness of e-banking and service availability of e-banking significantly enhance corporate customers’ satisfaction in Nigeria. This study made use of survey research design that allow for the use of questionnaires to elicit data using Multistage sampling technique to select two hundred and forty (240) respondents from the population covering all the Small and Medium scale Enterprises (SMEs) firms in Ekiti State by first selecting all SMEs firms in Ado-Ekiti and later reduced them to five (5) purposively selected SMEs namely; Laundry, Printing, Bakery, Eatery and Electronics houses all in Ado-Ekiti. The data obtained from the field was processed using statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) computer software and analyzed using descriptive and inferential analysis which involved regression analysis. The result revealed that 0.792 which depicted that 79% of the changes in the corporate customers’ satisfaction is accounted for by the explanatory variables (E-banking tool of ATM, MB, POS, E-banking implementation, Awareness of e-banking and Service availability). It was further discovered that the E-banking tools (ATM, Mobile banking and POS) have positive significant effect which bring about 8.1%, 34.5% and 9.4% increase respectively on the customers’ satisfaction in Nigeria. While the E-banking implementation and awareness of e-banking also have positive and significant effect and can positively increase customers’ satisfaction by 12.3% and 37.5% respectively. The coefficient of service availability on the other hand showed a significant negative effect on customers’ satisfaction (-0.087) implying that a percentage change in service availability will bring about a decrease in corporate customers’ satisfaction by 8.7%. The study therefore concluded premised on the results that electronic banking has significant effect on corporate customers’ satisfaction among Small and Medium Scale Enterprises in Nigeria

Arranging a traveler visit may utilize different proposals offered by different suppliers. For booking travel tickets inside the nation, traveloka will be their decision with different advantageous installment choices gave. For booking global travel tickets they may pick TripAdvisor. For the choice of goals to be visited, potential sightseers will no doubt utilize the suggestions offered by Indonesia Virtual Tour, and Tripadvisor may be for determination of facilities, imminent travelers get more suggestions, however, who can show evaluations that are probably going to be trailed by expected voyagers. Regardless of how straight forward virtual tourism is, they have a significant job as an extension between the travel industry makers and likely voyagers. E-tourism created in Indonesia right now has not addressed the most significant part of giving data and assurance to sightseers when they decide to visit vacationer goals. The vast majority of the suppliers that fabricate virtually the travel industry frameworks have the point of building up a business association or business affiliations with entrepreneurs, for example, convenience administrations, tagging administrations, eatery administrations, and different administrations focused on business. Another technique arranged to quicken the recuperation of Bali's travel industry is to make and set explicit wellbeing gauges. Explicit Health Standards arranged for the travel industry as expressed in Circular Letter Number 3355 of 2020 concerning the new ordinary Protocol for the Bali Tourism Sector.

In this Photo Essay, photographs are combined with drawings collected in Burkina Faso in the years following the 2014–2016 Ebola outbreak. Portraits of bats are shown. The blacklisting of these animals following the recommendations of health authorities collides with local realities, where it is not possible to talk about bats in a ‘general’ sense. The same is true today in the period of COVID-19, when chiropterans are once again in the etiological hot seat: bats are behind the pandemic, according to Ridley's shock phrase (2020). In Burkina Faso's Lobi country, between the red and black fruit-eaters (which have always been eaten) and the small insectivores (which have never been eaten as such, but are very useful to animist healers), there is a chasm of representation that is unveiled by these images.

Full textAbstract:
The notion of Petri Net, formerly developed by Carl Adam Petri, is useful for modeling
and analyzing a system’s behavior. Petri Net is a graphical tool, defined as a bipartite
graph consisting of two types of nodes, places (conditions) and transitions (activities).
In general, a discrete event dynamic system consists of activities that can model
the system by consecutively listing its states; prior and after to the occurrence of these
activities.
In this paper, a Petri Net model for a small eatery has been proposed, keeping in
view the spread of the COVID-19 virus. Emphasis has been given to practicing so cial distancing and allowing a minimum number of people together at any stage. This
model, which accounts for two service tables (which can be occupied by new cus tomers subsequently) and one service provider (waiter) and their respective activities,
has been interpreted as a dynamic system. Furthermore, the model’s design has been
validated structurally and behaviorally using techniques from Linear Algebra, transi tive matrices, and transition vectors. The reachability tree has been made for drawing
out more behavioral conclusions. Besides, inference of properties like cyclic/acyclic
nature, conflict, concurrency, boundedness, conservativeness, safeness, liveness, and
deadlock has been interpreted physically with the proposed model.

This volume covers three subfamilies, all endemic to Australia. The Phasmodinae are a small group with one genus and four species living in the heath habitats of Western Australia. The Zaprochilinae are represented in the literature by two genera, each with a single species. This volume reveals that four genera are present in Australia, one with more than twelve species. Like the Phasmodinae, the Zaprochilinae feed on flowers but, unlike that group where the flower is destroyed, evidence suggests that only pollen and nectar are eaten and the flower remains intact.

Full textAbstract:
The aerobic oxidation of organic material by microbes is the focus of this chapter. Microbes account for about 50% of primary production in the biosphere, but they probably account for more than 50% of organic material oxidization and respiration (oxygen use). The traditional role of microbes is to degrade organic material and to release plant nutrients such as phosphate and ammonium as well as carbon dioxide. Microbes are responsible for more than half of soil respiration, while size fractionation experiments show that bacteria are also responsible for about half of respiration in aquatic habitats. In soils, both fungi and bacteria are important, with relative abundances and activity varying with soil type. In contrast, fungi are not common in the oceans and lakes, where they are out-competed by bacteria with their small cell size. Dead organic material, detritus, used by microbes, comes from dead plants and waste products from herbivores. It and associated microbes can be eaten by many eukaryotic organisms, forming a detritus food web. These large organisms also break up detritus into small pieces, creating more surface area on which microbes can act. Microbes in turn need to use extracellular enzymes to hydrolyze large molecular weight compounds, which releases small compounds that can be transported into cells. Fungi and bacteria use a different mechanism, “oxidative decomposition,” to degrade lignin. Organic compounds that are otherwise easily degraded (“labile”) may resist decomposition if absorbed to surfaces or surrounded by refractory organic material. Addition of labile compounds can stimulate or “prime” the degradation of other organic material. Microbes also produce organic compounds, some eventually resisting degradation for thousands of years, and contributing substantially to soil organic material in terrestrial environments and dissolved organic material in aquatic ones. The relationship between community diversity and a biochemical process depends on the metabolic redundancy among members of the microbial community. This redundancy may provide “ecological insurance” and ensure the continuation of key biogeochemical processes when environmental conditions change.

Full textAbstract:
Why do farm workers become more vulnerable as countries get richer? As countries get richer, the share of workers employed in agriculture falls. In richer countries, hired farm workers do ever more of the work on the fewer and larger farms that produce most farm commodities. These hired workers include local workers who lack the skills and contacts needed to get nonfarm jobs that usually offer higher wages and more opportunities as well as legal and unauthorized migrants from poorer countries who may not know or exercise their labor-related rights. Government enforcement of labor laws depends on complaints, and vulnerable workers rarely complain. The Prosperity Paradox explains why farm-worker problems often worsen as the agricultural sector shrinks and lays out options to help vulnerable workers. Analysis of farm labor markets in the US, Mexico, and other countries shows that unions and fair trade efforts to protect farm workers cover a very small share of all workers and are unlikely to expand quickly. Most labor-intensive fruits and vegetables are eaten fresh. Unsafe food that sickened consumers led to voluntary industry and later government-mandated food-safety programs to ensure that food is safe when it leaves the farm, with protocols enforced by both government inspectors and buyers who refused to buy from noncompliant farms. This food-safety model offers the most promise for a new era in protective labor policies.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter discusses the range of printed images that would have been familiar during the eighteenth century to people at all levels of society in towns and to a lesser extent in rural areas. These everyday prints ranged from early examples of advertising to grim depictions of the condemned sold at public executions; from moralizing broadsides to cheap patriotic portraits of the royal family and military leaders. Like other commodities sold in large numbers for small sums, they were not valued at the time and so are now rare. Catalogues published in the 1750s and 1760s list hundreds of titles, often repeated in prints of different sizes, or as etchings as well as more traditional woodcuts. New images appeared regularly, but older prints, still satisfying an undemanding market were reissued from cracked and worm-eaten woodblocks or worn-out copper-plates. By the beginning of the nineteenth century technological developments introduced changes in technique and style, and reduced the cost of production, but the subject matter of cheap pictorial prints remained largely unchanged.

Abstract In 1978 Bob broke free of his Norlin contract and the family moved to rural North Carolina, building a custom house in an area called “Big Briar Cove.” Bob registered the name Big Briar, Incorporated, to make future products. Shirleigh published her cookbook, Moog’s Musical Eatery. Norlin issued new products—the Multimoog, the Moog Prodigy, Moog Liberation, Moog Opus 3, Moog Source, Memorymoog, and Rogue—but they didn’t bring in enough revenue, and Moog resorted to contract work, producing oddities like the Fisher Price Alpha Probe space toy and a Muslim Prayer Times Clock. A Radio Shack contract for a small synth, the Concertmate MG-1, was a company lifesaver. Bob’s contribution continued to be acknowledged: The film Apocalypse Now was a high-profile use of the modular Moog, and Eureka! was a traveling exhibit recognizing “America’s 12 most innovative inventions of the past 200 years,” among them the Moog synthesizer.

Full textAbstract:
Stingless bees are one of the social bees that are spread across tropical and subtropical countries, including Indonesia. Indonesia has 46 species of 10 genera, and they are endemic in at least three distinct areas. Some species live in specific microclimates and environmental conditions; for example, Wallacetrigona incisa lives in the mountainous highlands of Sulawesi. It has many variations of nest architecture and places of nesting from natural habitats to residential environments that provide food plant sources of a variety of wild to cultivated plants. Stingless bees have a small body size, small honey pots, and limited foraging range and forage for more in short plants. In general, the forage distance and flight distances are correlated with the body size. The role of bees in nature is very important as pollinators and pray for protected wildlife and other insect eaters. Stingless bees also produce the products honey and propolis that are useful for humans. Indonesian meliponiculture provides benefits to the community but requires caution for the preservation of bees in their habitat. The transfer of colonies of stingless bees between islands and altitudes have caused many colony deaths and could not produce well. Conservation regulation is the solution.

Full textAbstract:
During the war, a more austere method of eliminating “useless eaters” was adopted by the Nazi state: killing patients. The concept of patient murder dated back to Hoche, a neuropsychiatrist, and Binding, a lawyer, and their 1920 book Permission for the Destruction of Life Unworthy of Life. Only in the totalitarian Nazi state, however, could an illegal secret action be authorized leading to the extermination of at least 275,000 neuropsychiatric patients. After about 70,000 patients were killed by gassings in the first phase (Action T4), the program was carried out on a smaller scale. The T4 medical director was a neuroscientist, at least 42.5% of the T4 assessors were neuroscientists, and among the T4 assessors were at least eight neuropsychiatry “Professor Doctors.” Killing methods included starvation, drug overdoses, and killing by painful pneumoencephalograms. It was the Nazi neuroscientists’ “devolution” from small initial ethical transgressions that resulted in patient murder.

Abstract Most readers must have seen a brown trout, if only as one about to be cooked or eaten. They should have noted several features that facilitate manoeuvrability and sustained swimming (Fig. 1.1): a streamlined body covered with overlapping scales; single dorsal and anal fins to prevent rolling and yawing; paired pectoral and pelvic fins to prevent rolling and pitching and to act as brakes; and a well-developed, symmetrical tail that provides the thrust for swimming. Like other members of the salmon family, the trout has a small, fleshy fin posterior to the dorsal fin.

Full textAbstract:
Compared to a predator’s diet, plant food has two great advantages: it is abundant and it does not run away. ‘Herbivorous mammals’ explains how these advantages are matched by difficulties: plants are generally of low nutritional value and must be eaten in large amounts; leaves with protective abrasive particles can quickly wear down herbivores’ chewing teeth; and mammals cannot make their own cellulase enzymes for breaking down cellulose to sugars. The eating habits and the challenges of small herbivores (e.g. rodents, rabbits, and hyraxes) are considered, as well as those of large ungulates and elephants; marsupial herbivores (e.g. kangaroos, wombats, and koalas); and specialist herbivores (pandas, dugongs, and manatees).

Abstract The house and the garden establish the human space of settlement. Both are transformed forest, and both must be constantly maintained in the face of forest regeneration. The house is the locus of most human activity, the place in which meals are prepared and eaten and in which people sleep. The meals are prepared in the kitchen and eaten in the open section of the house, while the enclosed room is used for storing possessions and for sleeping and making love. Almost all the houses and gardens are created and owned in the same way in native communities: they are made by a man and owned by him and his wife. The only exceptions to this pattern are those houses belonging to the widowed, for either a widower will build his own small house, or a widow will have one built for her by her son or son-in-law. These cases are restricted to the old who are reluctant to give up their independence for reliance on younger kin. Younger unmarried people simply do not own either houses or gardens. The houses and gardens of a native community like Santa Clara thus encode the relationships of marriage between men and women.

Full textAbstract:
Specimens from a failed X-52 pipeline that had been inservice for 34 years were pitted using the passivation/immersion method developed by the authors to simulate pitted pipelines observed in service. The resulting pitted samples were then cyclically loaded in an aqueous near-neutral pH environment sparged with 5% CO2 / balance N2 gas mixture at high stress ratios (minimum stress/maximum stress), low strain rates and low frequencies which were close to those experienced in service. It was found that the majority of cracks initiated from the corrosion pits and were less than 0.5 to 0.6 mm deep and were generally quite blunt. These cracks were transgranular in nature and designated as Stage I cracks and were typical of cracks found in most crack colonies. However, the further growth of these short, blunt cracks was significantly influenced by the distribution of the nearby non-metallic inclusions. Inclusions enhanced the stress-facilitated dissolution crack growth, which is the crack growth method proposed by the authors in a related paper. When the orientation of the inclusions was at a small acute angle to the orientation of the pits or cracks, and the inclusions were in the same plane as crack initiation or advance, these inclusions would enhance crack growth, or even trap hydrogen which further resulted in the formation of clusters of tiny cracks, which appeared to be caused by hydrogen. The hydrogen-produced cracks could be eaten away later by the stress-facilitated further dissolution of the blunt cracks. If these cracks can grow sufficiently however they pose an integrity risk, as they can initiate long cracks (near-neutral pH SCC). These hydrogen-caused cracks in Stage I were rare. It was nevertheless suggested that cracks deeper than 0.5 to 0.6 mm in the field should be removed to reduce or avoid the threat of rupture. If active corrosion and hydrogen generation can be prevented then smaller cracks are innocuous.

Full textAbstract:
This human campylobacteriosis sentinel surveillance project was based at two sites in Oxfordshire and North East England chosen (i) to be representative of the English population on the Office for National Statistics urban-rural classification and (ii) to provide continuity with genetic surveillance started in Oxfordshire in October 2003. Between October 2015 and September 2018 epidemiological questionnaires and genome sequencing of isolates from human cases was accompanied by sampling and genome sequencing of isolates from possible food animal sources. The principal aim was to estimate the contributions of the main sources of human infection and to identify any changes over time. An extension to the project focussed on antimicrobial resistance in study isolates and older archived isolates. These older isolates were from earlier years at the Oxfordshire site and the earliest available coherent set of isolates from the national archive at Public Health England (1997/8). The aim of this additional work was to analyse the emergence of the antimicrobial resistance that is now present among human isolates and to describe and compare antimicrobial resistance in recent food animal isolates. Having identified the presence of bias in population genetic attribution, and that this was not addressed in the published literature, this study developed an approach to adjust for bias in population genetic attribution, and an alternative approach to attribution using sentinel types. Using these approaches the study estimated that approximately 70% of Campylobacter jejuni and just under 50% of C. coli infection in our sample was linked to the chicken source and that this was relatively stable over time. Ruminants were identified as the second most common source for C. jejuni and the most common for C. coli where there was also some evidence for pig as a source although less common than ruminant or chicken. These genomic attributions of themselves make no inference on routes of transmission. However, those infected with isolates genetically typical of chicken origin were substantially more likely to have eaten chicken than those infected with ruminant types. Consumption of lamb’s liver was very strongly associated with infection by a strain genetically typical of a ruminant source. These findings support consumption of these foods as being important in the transmission of these infections and highlight a potentially important role for lamb’s liver consumption as a source of Campylobacter infection. Antimicrobial resistance was predicted from genomic data using a pipeline validated by Public Health England and using BIGSdb software. In C. jejuni this showed a nine-fold increase in resistance to fluoroquinolones from 1997 to 2018. Tetracycline resistance was also common, with higher initial resistance (1997) and less substantial change over time. Resistance to aminoglycosides or macrolides remained low in human cases across all time periods. Among C. jejuni food animal isolates, fluoroquinolone resistance was common among isolates from chicken and substantially less common among ruminants, ducks or pigs. Tetracycline resistance was common across chicken, duck and pig but lower among ruminant origin isolates. In C. coli resistance to all four antimicrobial classes rose from low levels in 1997. The fluoroquinolone rise appears to have levelled off earlier and among animals, levels are high in duck as well as chicken isolates, although based on small sample sizes, macrolide and aminoglycoside resistance, was substantially higher than for C. jejuni among humans and highest among pig origin isolates. Tetracycline resistance is high in isolates from pigs and the very small sample from ducks. Antibiotic use following diagnosis was relatively high (43.4%) among respondents in the human surveillance study. Moreover, it varied substantially across sites and was highest among non-elderly adults compared to older adults or children suggesting opportunities for improved antimicrobial stewardship. The study also found evidence for stable lineages over time across human and source animal species as well as some tighter genomic clusters that may represent outbreaks. The genomic dataset will allow extensive further work beyond the specific goals of the study. This has been made accessible on the web, with access supported by data visualisation tools.
