This chapter takes up the feel of the Victorian Sunday and its reputation for unrelenting lassitude and inertia. Sunday reading was, however, one means to address this temporal void, provided the reading materials were deemed acceptable. A list of suitable books for that day is frequently detailed in memoirs concerning the devout Evangelical upbringings of their authors. In the context of Victorian Sabbatarian debates, this chapter looks on the affects of Sunday boredom as an instance of stalled, long time before turning to a solution of sorts: Sunday-reading periodicals that, as the case of the weekly Evangelical periodical The Sunday at Home illustrates, offered a diversionary reprieve that could multiply readers’ experience of time, and even render the feeling of eternal waiting as more welcome moments of leisure. This kind of reading shows us how what we might think of as devotional contemplation was being re-temporalized as diversion.

Typhoid is a life-threatening disease that has remained endemic in parts of Africa and Asia where its burden is elevated by the inefficiency of control efforts which have been hampered by lack of epidemiological data, among others. In Nigeria, such data is absent in most of the States like Gombe where the disease has been rife for a long time, hence, to bridge that knowledge gap, this study was set up to determine the host-associated risk factors for typhoid occurrence and recurrence in Gombe. A questionnaire that was designed and validated for this location was used to obtain data from 663 respondents using simple random sampling and analyzed using the Chi-square test for association and binomial logistic regression to obtain risk factors for typhoid occurrence and recurrence, respectively. The study revealed that occurrences were statistically significantly associated with the variables for vaccination (χ2 = 39.729, p < 0.01), having houseboy/girl (χ2 = 16.909, p < 0.01), typhoid patient at home (χ2 = 13.393, p < 0.01), hand washing before handling food (χ2 = 22.856, p < 0.01), consuming iced/frozen items (χ2 = 16.805, p < 0.01), boiling drinking water (χ2 = 49.633, p < 0.01), and eating commercially available foods/drinks (χ2 = 27.864, p < 0.01), while recurrences were statistically significantly predicted by „not sure of been vaccinated‟ (OR = 2.962, CI = 1.290 to 6.802, p < 0.01), „not having another typhoid patient at home‟ (OR = 1.799, CI = 0.998 to 3.244, p < 0.01), and „drinking unboiled water sometimes‟ (OR = 2.130, CI = 1.023 to 4.434, p < 0.01). It is believed that these findings will guide efforts by the Government for health interventions against typhoid in the study area, thus improving the quality of life for the population.

This essay reveals some yet unexplored pages in the history of Russian-Slovenian relations. Based on materials in the Russian and Slovenian archives, the main features of the trips of Russian peasants, who were trainees of the Russian grain company, to practice in Slovenian lands are reconstructed. These visits were carried out with the aim of studying progressive methods of agriculture, which they would then be able to effectively apply at home. The organizer from the Slovenian side was the liberal politician and long-term župan (lord mayor) of Ljubljana, Ivan Hribar. Parties of Russian interns were sent to Slovenian lands in 1909 and 1912 and many of the trainees stayed abroad for one or two years. The main focus of this study is the analysis of the feedback of Russian peasants about their work and study in a foreign country and their impressions of the Slovenes. Reviews by the Russian peasants who were dispatched in 1909 were more favourable than those sent on the 1912 trip, which was for various reasons less successful. In general, the trainees who remained in the Slovenian lands for a long time acquired a lot of new knowledge and skills, which could then be successfully applied in Russia. Slovenes as a people, their culture, and their economic organization made a good impression on the Russian peasants. In addition, it was the peasants' first encounter with another world, and being close to the Slovenian people in language, culture, and traditions contributed to the expansion of their common horizons.

John was weak, something that had begun quite suddenly the day before, and he needed my help in order to lift himself off the couch or to climb the stairs or to maneuver throughout the house. That morning, I had to cancel an invitation to accompany my parents on a trip out of town; John was too weak for me to leave him alone. I had been looking forward to leaving behind my responsibilities for a bit ever since my parents had suggested that I needed a break—and the prospect of a short trip into the Ottawa Valley for a few hours, a chance to live a little out from under the weight of everything at home, was so enticing. The decision not to go was both completely inescapable and incredibly hard, and I sobbed for a long time after getting off the phone with my Dad. For the first time since John had become ill, I let myself tell him how unfair this disease was and how its presence in our lives was affecting not only him, but me—how I felt that I no longer existed in any meaningful sense apart from the illness, how my entire days were defined by the need to manage his illness, his almost daily trips to the hospital, the constant appointments, the endless challenge of trying to get some nutrition into him, the need to take care of everything around the house and yet to stay on top of work.

Introduction In 2015, the Rare Books and Manuscripts Section (RBMS) surveyed its membership for the first time in 18 years.1 At roughly the span of a generation, 18 years is a long time in the rapidly changing world of libraries. Consider, for example, that in 1997 J.K. Rowling had just released the first Harry Potter novel, Google was a year away from being founded, and fewer than half of the respondents to the first RBMS Membership Survey had access to e-mail and the Internet at home. New landscapes call for new data, and the 2015 RBMS Membership Survey answers that . . .

Food waste is a significant concern in waste management in recent years due to the inevitable outcome of human consumption in modern society. It has happened in almost every home daily. In Malaysia, 44.5% of organic waste (OW) consists of food waste (FW), this figure would increase with population growth. Therefore, without effective FW management, untreated FW dumping will cause environmental pollution, thus affecting human health as well as ecosystems. Conventional methods such as landfill and incineration have long been the most popular practice to address the FW issues, offering simple and cost-effective approach. Most of the time, these methods are not sustainable since they pose other environmental pollution such as greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and leachate contamination leading to groundwater pollutions. Other issues with landfills are that self-composting at landfill site takes a long time and most landfills in Malaysia are almost at full capacity. The composting technique has recently gained more attraction as a cost-effective and sustainable method for the FW issue. This paper reviews techniques of composting food waste at home by using a conventional natural and rapid process. The performance of each technique in terms of cost, sustainability, user-friendly and time are measured in this review. Finally, the future direction of food waste solution by sustainable composting technique is briefly discussed in this paper.
