What is Salmonella?
Any of various rod-shaped bacteria of the genus Salmonella, many of which are pathogenic, causing food poisoning, typhoid, and paratyphoid fever in humans and other infectious diseases in domestic animals. It was named after the American pathologist Daniel Elmer Salmon (1850-1914).
Health Hazard salmonella is usually contracted by touching raw meat, raw eggs, raw shellfish, or unpasteurized animal products such as milk and cheese. It can also be acquired by touching living turtles, birds, and humans that have the bacteria on their hands.
Salmonella food poisoning often results from touching or eating contaminated food and improper cooking of meat and poultry products. Its symptoms include diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, and fever. Food prepared at home like meats and poultry have warning labels about safe handling on the packaging for this reason. Any foods like meat which is not properly cooked or not temperature controlled is often the result of salmonella poisoning.
Rhythm and Blues is a popular genre of music first created by African Americans in the late 1940′s and early 1950′s. The term was originally used by record companies to refer to “urbane, rocking, Jazz-based music with a heavy, insisted beat.”
The term subsequently had a number of shifts in meaning. Starting in the 1960′s, after this style of music contributed to the development of rock and roll, the term R&B became used-particularly by white groups-to refer to music styles that developed from and incorporated electric blues, as well as gospel and soul music. R&B include genres such as jump blues, club blues, black rock and roll, doo wop, soul, Motown, funk, disco and rap. By the 1970′sthe term rhythm and blues was used as a blanket term to describe soul and funk. Since the 1990′s the term Contemporary R&B is now mainly used to refer to a modern version of soul and funk-influenced pop music.
Jerry Wexler of Billboard magazine coined the term rhythm and blues in 1948 as a musical marketing term in the United States. It replaced the term “race music”, which originally came from within the balck community, but was deemed offensive in the Postwar World. Writer/producer Robert Palmer defined rhythm and blues as “a catch-all term referring to any music that was made by and for black Americans”. He used the term R&B as a synonym for jump blues. Lawrence Cohn, author of “Nothing but the Blue”. wrote that rhythm and blues was an umbrella term invented for industry convenience. According to him, the term embraced all black music except classical music and religious music.
