Cat scratch disease (CSD), also known as cat scratch fever, is a bacterial infection primarily caused by a bacterium called Bartonella henselae. It is usually transmitted to humans through the scratch or bite of an infected cat, especially kittens, although other feline species can also carry the bacteria. The primary symptoms of cat scratch disease often include a small bump or blister at the site of the scratch or bite, followed by swollen lymph nodes, usually near the area of injury. Other symptoms may include fatigue, fever, headache, and in some cases, an overall feeling of malaise. In most cases, cat scratch disease is self-limiting and resolves on its own without specific treatment. However, severe cases might require antibiotics to manage the infection, especially if complications arise or in individuals with weakened immune systems. Though relatively uncommon, complications of cat scratch disease can include infections of the brain, eyes, heart, or bones, particularly in individuals with compromised immune systems. Preventive measures include practicing good hygiene after handling cats, especially washing hands thoroughly, avoiding rough play with cats that might lead to scratches or bites, and promptly cleaning any wounds caused by cats to reduce the risk of infection.

The core of Visual Basic .NET has been well covered in many books on the market, which means that more interesting areas can now be explored. This book takes programmers with some basic Visual Basic .NET experience and shows them how to create role-playing games (RPGs). RPGs have long been favorites of certain sections of the programming world and many, many people have dabbled over the years.The author is a certified .NET developer and trainer (MCAD, MCSD & MCT) combined with being a Master-level RPGA (Roleplaying Gamers Association) games master, which makes for a compelling combination. No other RPG programming-related book mentions the author(s) being active in the RPGA. The book focuses more on creating role-playing games with depth than on the graphics. There are already many books that deal solely with graphics libraries such as DirectX or OpenGL. The few existing books that address RPG programming either concentrate on design at the expense of code, or they gloss over what really makes an RPG and focus too much on graphics. TOC:What are role-playing games?.- Picking a genre.- Random number generation.- Creating a world.- Populating the world.- One man's treasure.- Places to go, things to do.- Combat.- Character development.- Crafting a compelling story.- Optional elements.- Presentation.- Securing the game.

J. F. C. Harrison has written that 'for each age there is a new view of Mr Owen', which is proof of the fertility and continuing relevance of his ideas. Not just in Britain and America but today around the world anti-poverty campaigners, birth-controllers, collectivists, communitarians, co-operators, ecologists, educationalists, environmentalists, feminists, humanitarians, internationalists, paternalistic capitalists, secularists, campaigners for social justice, trade unionists, urban planners, utopians, welfare reformers can all find something to admire and inspire in the treasure trove that is the thought and actions of Robert Owen. Owen was a creative genius of global significance, a radical writer and activist of international reputation and reach who has inspired those seeking to change human society for the better. The contributors to this volume include not only many of the recognized experts on the life, work and legacy of Owen, but also work from younger scholars or scholars coming to the field afresh. The volume presents the most recent and original research on Owen. Owen notoriously (and impressively) dabbled in many spheres, and this is reflected in the its breadth of content. The unifying themes are Owen's profile in his own time, and the relevance of his ideas for the generations that followed. His importance for educational and social philosophy, for political economy and for the political theory of socialism are all discussed, as are his contribution as a philanthropic employer, his political activities and the specificities of his historical context.

A timely, well-grounded analysis that reveals an inconvenient truth: we can't save capitalism and save the planet.
