With this book comes a message that the authors have for management
and entrepreneurship experts around the world. Beyond the myth of
the ‘start-up nation’, ‘hypergrowth’, and speculation on
future business value, there exists an alternative form of
entrepreneurship that young entrepreneurs are embracing. They call
it “entrepreneurial activism†and its philosophy is
“community first, start-up secondâ€. Guiding entrepreneurs to
reap the benefits of brand and market development, the authors
present a five-step approach on how to develop a community and
launch a start-up within it. This guide explores how best to define
a cause and create a movement, to recruit volunteers and create
opportunities within a community. The collaboration between the
three authors creates an enticing mix of entrepreneurship and
marketing perspectives that bridges the academic and professional
worlds and shares a wealth of business expertise and experience
from three continents.
Understanding the origin of fecal pollution is essential in
assessing potential health risks as well as for determining the
actions necessary to remediate the quality of waters contaminated
by fecal matter. As a result, microbial source tracking (MST) has
emerged as a field that has evolved and diversified rapidly since
the first approaches were described only a decade ago. In response
to the emergence of MST, there have been three large
multi-laboratory method comparison studies (two in the US and one
in Europe), plus numerous workshops, book chapters, and review
articles dedicated to synthesizing information on the topic.
Furthermore, a federal (USEPA) guide document describing the uses
and limitations of MST methods was published in 2005, and a book
dedicated to MST as an emerging issue in food safety was published
in 2007. These documents provide a collective body of literature on
MST that is both conflicting and complementary, often repetitious,
and difficult to condense and interpret. In addition, it does not
reflect the current diversity of MST approaches with different
organisms, newer methodologies such as quantitative PCR, and
anthropogenic chemicals, nor does it embrace the scope of MST
research being conducted around the world. The three editors of the
book, all with extensive MST expertise, have developed chapters and
invited authors who reflect the rich diversity and truly
international scope of MST. The unifying theme throughout the book
is the design of more standardized approaches to MST that include
performance criteria (regardless of method or organism), plus
recommendations for field study design and MST implementation. The
editors intend that this book will serve as a valuable reference
for all those who are involved with

highlighting the differences and similarities across regions by
concentrating on examples of best practice, design innovation and
impact on the community.
To save his father from execution for treason, the Bravo Giovanni
agrees to act as an assassin for The Council of Ten, and ruthlessly
carries out their orders for targeted killings against real or
imagined enemies of the Serene Republic of Venice in Italy.
Inevitably, the Council members begin using the Bravo for their own
purposes. When the Count de Bellamonte lusts after a helpless
orphan girl, he forces Giovanni to eliminate her protector. But the
girl's mother, the most sought-after courtesan in Venice, uses all
her power and influence to protect her daughter. The play, adapted
from a novel by American writer James Fenimore Cooper, is filled
with eerie beauty and quiet horror--like Venice itself, a gondola
of pretty pearls rocking gently on the murky, putrefying,
garbage-laden waves of its many canals.

++++ Robespierre Oder Der Neunte Thermidor: Drama In 3 Th. U. 8
Bildern: Ein Gemalde D. Franz. Revolution Im Jahre 1794 Auguste
Anicet-Bourgeois, Francis Cornu, Georg Ball Winter, 1832
In 1828 a young man in rags appeared in the German city of
Nurnberg, saying that he'd been kept isolated in a dungeon all of
his life. Was he the bastard offshoot of some noble or royal
family, secreted away to preserve the honor of the house? Within a
few months he was dead under mysterious circumstances, his mystery
still unsolved. CASPER HAUSER uses the uproar caused by Hauser's
emergence to focus the white heat of the authors' indignation on
the systematic maltreatment of individuals solely to spare the
feelings of the rich and powerful elements of society. The anger of
the playwrights permeates this straightforward, exceptionally
powerful tale of a young man who never had a chance of living a
normal life. The drama still plays well to a modern audience

Paris. Mid-19th century. As the old aristocracy dies off, vast
inheritances become the object of a colossal struggles between the
forces of good and evil. The stalwart Comte de Kergaz and the
dashing reformed courtesan known as Baccarat clash with the
infamous Club of the Jack of Hearts; their leader is none other
than Armand's half-brother, the evil Andrea, a.k.a. Sir Williams.
Standing alone in the midst of this struggle is Rocambole, a
resourceful young man who owes allegiance to none but himself and
whose actions will eventually tilt the balance. The immortal hero
created in 1857 by Ponson du Terrail stars here in two plays, one
written contemporaneously in 1864 chronicling the fall of the Jack
of Hearts, and the other, a modern adaptation penned in 1951
revisiting the very first exploits of a young Rocambole. Both are
translated by playwright Frank J. Morlock who also adapted Lord
Ruthven the Vampire, The Return of Lord Ruthven and the Arshne
Lupin vs Sherlock Holmes stage play for Black Coast Press.
