In September 2018, monkeypox virus was transmitted from a patient to a healthcare worker in the United Kingdom. Transmission was probably through contact with contaminated bedding. Infection control precautions for contacts (vaccination, daily monitoring, staying home from work) were implemented. Of 134 potential contacts, 4 became ill; all patients survived.

The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 (FISA) regulates, among other things, the government's acquisition of electronic surveillance within the United States for foreign-intelligence purposes. FISA allows a federal officer to seek an order from a judge at a specially designated court \"approving electronic surveillance of a foreign power or an agent of a foreign power for the purpose of obtaining foreign intelligence information.\" As long as the requisite foreign nexus can be shown, FISA warrants are preferable to their possible substitutes because they are easier to obtain and allow for more secretive and penetrating investigations.

For generations, organismal biologists have learned their craft in hands-on laboratories that teach anatomy, evolution, natural history, systematics, and functional morphology through specimen collection, observation, comparison, and manipulation. Though these activities teach the comparative method that lies at the heart of our discipline, students without access to specimen collections have been excluded from this foundational experience. To fill that gap, we developed a virtual collection of photographs and 3D specimen models and designed entirely online versions of courses in ichthyology and systematics of fishes. The virtualization allows students to illustrate and compare specimens in online labs, identify species from different habitats using dichotomous keys, contextualize the relationships of species, recognize synapomorphies using a phylogeny, take online specimen-based practical exams, and help each other recognize adaptations and diagnostic features on threaded discussion boards. The classes built around the collection educate and provide university credit to students lacking access to similar courses, and their infrastructure allowed face-to-face instruction to shift online rapidly after 2020's novel coronavirus shut down our brick-and-mortar campus. While we may never be able to replicate the aroma of oil-laden alcohol online, specimen virtualization opens access to experiential learning to an underserved and widespread audience; allows new generations of students to develop crucial skills in observation, comparison, and inference; and affords substantial instructional resiliency when unexpected challenges arise.

In the process of building a booth, students get a chance to learn skills they might not otherwise have, such as electrical wiring, framing a wall, or other carpentry skills.

In recent years, rapidly emerging technology has introduced mobile Point-Of-Sale (MPOS) systems to the North American market. These systems allow merchants to process transactions conveniently and quickly using mobile phones or tablets rather than \"traditional\" point-of-sale (TPOS) credit card-processing systems. However, the long-term success of these new payment systems relies on consumers perceiving the device to be secure, accurate, and free from criminal activity. We present a case vs. control clustered field study that evaluated consumers' impressions of the security, trust and convenience of mobile (MPOS) versus traditional (TPOS) readers. Consumers were recruited from a local sandwich shop (MPOS) and an ice cream shop (TPOS) and surveyed about their perceptions of the devices immediately after completing transactions using their credit/debit cards. Implications for consumers and industry, including prevention of cyber crime, are discussed.
