This document discusses the emergence and cultural constructions of "Woolsorters' Disease", later identified as anthrax, in Bradford, England from 1878 to 1919. It describes how the disease was initially thought to be caused by "dirty foreign wools" but research demonstrated the causative organism was Bacillus anthracis. It also discusses how representations of the disease shifted from a "folk" understanding to systematic medical research, but engagement with sufferers continued through compensation and demonstrations. Finally, it notes understandings of anthrax depended on specific social contexts and industries, and how different research communities reflected differences in cultural constructions of foreign countries.

Victorian medicine and masculinity at home and abroadLitSciMed .
?
This document discusses Michael Brown's lecture on the topic of Victorian medicine and masculinity. The first half of the lecture explores how 19th century doctors compared themselves to soldiers and invoked language of war and heroism. This military metaphor became dominant and served political ends by framing medicine as public service. Literature from this time period also portrayed doctors heroically. The Crimean War further conflated medical and martial masculinities. By the 1850s, medical discourse was saturated with war imagery and concepts of martial masculinity, influenced by growing nationalism and imperialism.
This document discusses various perspectives on things and objects from the fields of philosophy, sociology, and cultural studies. It explores how objects can assert themselves as things when they stop functioning for human subjects. It examines the distinction between objects and things, and how things exist beyond just their signified use or meaning. It also looks at how humans exist in relation to objects, and how objects can act as quasi-subjects that help construct social relationships and individual identities. The document advocates studying the role of material objects in shaping culture.
This document provides a list of scholarly sources to read about thing theory and the study of objects and material culture. It includes books and articles that discuss objects from perspectives such as commodity and consumer culture, literary representations of things, philosophical understandings of objects and object-oriented ontology, psychoanalytic approaches, and the social lives and meanings of everyday things. Major authors mentioned include Arjun Appadurai, Jean Baudrillard, Jane Bennett, Bill Brown, Bruno Latour, Daniel Miller, and Sherry Turkle.

This presentation delves into the fascinating journey of rice genomics and whole genome sequencing, charting the evolution from early marker development to cutting-edge genome editing and pan-genomics. Rice (Oryza sativa) is not only a staple crop feeding over half the global population but also a model organism for cereal genomics due to its relatively small genome, rich genetic diversity, and high synteny with other grasses like wheat and maize. The presentation outlines why rice was the first crop plant to be fully sequenced and traces the contributions of international consortia such as IRGSP, Syngenta, and Monsanto, along with India’s role in sequencing chromosome 11 through the Indian Initiative for Rice Genome Sequencing (IIRGS). Detailed insights are provided into map-based sequencing methods, clone-by-clone strategies, and hierarchical shotgun sequencing, including how BAC and PAC libraries enabled high-quality genome assemblies. The sequencing of Nipponbare (japonica) laid the foundation for comprehensive rice genome annotation, revealing over 37,000 coding genes, extensive gene duplications, and a high density of transposable elements. The presentation explores the impact of rice genomic data on the development of molecular markers (SSRs, SNPs, InDels, ILPs), comparative genomics, structural and functional annotation, and custom-made markers for precision breeding. Advances post-genome era, including the 3K Rice Genome Project and updates in the Rice Genome Annotation Project (RGAP), are discussed along with emerging tools like pan-genomics, synteny maps, and RNA-seq-based expression profiling. Special attention is given to the sequencing and functional relevance of rice mitochondrial and chloroplast genomes, which play roles in energy metabolism, cytoplasmic male sterility, and hybrid breeding. Recent breakthroughs such as the activation of BBM1 and WOX9A genes for clonal seed development highlight the potential of synthetic apomixis. The talk concludes with reflections on the transformative impact of rice genome sequencing on crop improvement, enabling breeders to enhance yield, stress resilience, and nutritional quality through genomics-assisted selection and genome editing. This presentation serves as a comprehensive guide for students, researchers, and breeders navigating the landscape of rice genomics in the era of precision agriculture
Ralf Schumacher_ The Shadow and the Spotlight in Formula One.docxvoice ofarticle
?
When the conversation turns to the most iconic names in the high-octane world of Formula One, it’s impossible to ignore the Schumacher legacy. While Michael Schumacher’s record-breaking career often takes center stage, his younger brother, Ralf Schumacher, has crafted a compelling and impressive racing story of his own — one that deserves to be told in full. Often introduced in the shadow of his elder sibling, Ralf refused to remain just "Michael's younger brother" for long. Instead, he emerged as a fierce competitor with raw talent, relentless determination, and a deep passion for racing that was evident from a very young age.
Growing up in the motorsport-rich environment of Germany, Ralf Schumacher began his racing journey on the local karting circuits, where he quickly displayed a natural flair for speed and control. It was here that he honed the skills that would one day propel him onto the world stage. Unlike many young drivers who fizzle out before reaching the top, Ralf steadily climbed the ranks, moving from national championships to the international arena with precision and maturity far beyond his years. His early years were marked by countless hours of training, setbacks that tested his resolve, and victories that fueled his ambition.

You ever try to pick a place to eat in Jordan, Minnesota? It’s like being dropped in the middle of a delicious labyrinth with no map, no compass, and way too many good smells coming from all directions. One minute you’re thinking, “Eh, I’ll just grab something quick,” and the next thing you know, you’re halfway through a plate of brisket that tastes like it was slow-cooked by angels and blessed by a pitmaster with a doctorate in flavor.
Pizza? They've got enough cheesy, crusty goodness to start a small but passionate fan club. Tacos? Yes, please—and not the kind that fall apart the second you look at them sideways. We're talking hand-held miracles. Craving something sweet? Boom—bakery case. Cookies the size of your face, pies that look like they should be in a museum, and cupcakes that actually spark joy.
There’s no “just grab a bite” in Jordan. You either commit to the flavor adventure or get out of the way. Trying to decide where to go is like arguing with your stomach in five languages. It's not a question of if you'll find something good—it’s how many meals you can fit into one afternoon without needing a forklift to get back to your car.
