Monopoli is an Apulian city and not a board game, because this is written at the end with a “y.” Monopoli was founded by the Greeks in the classical antiquity and later over the centuries Normans, Byzantines, Staufers, Habsburgs, and Bourbons ruled here. And all of them left their traces in architecture, music, dialects, and foods and beverages. But one thing had never changed and still won’t. The people of Monopoli have a very close emotional bond with their sea.
The Munich photographer Stefan Braun has been drawn to Monopoli in Puglia time and again for 25 years. With his camera he has documented the life in the narrow streets, the hustle and bustle of the fishing port and the delicacies in the cooking pots. When you look at his pictures you can feel that Stefan Braun has fallen in love with this little town and its people. The people of Monopoli trust him and let him get close to them. The pictures of Stefan Braun are not just snapshots. The pictures tell stories without words. Thus the tired, fearful faces of the fishermen tell of the difficult and often dangerous days at sea. The women proudly hold freshly baked, delicious focaccia into the camera and the old men tell each other stories from their youth while playing cards every day.
Who wants to understand what Monopoli is, should travel to Puglia or buy this impressive book. Or even better: do both.

A citrate slant is typically used to determine if a species of bacteria can use citrate as its sole source of carbon. Citrate medium is a defined, selective, and differential medium. No growth will occur, as seen with the unknown microorganism #7 streak, if the organism cannot use citrate as a carbon source. If an organism can use citrate as a carbon source, the medium will change from green to blue due to citrate fermentation increasing the pH, which then causes the bromothymol blue indicator to turn blue. In certain cases, the color change from green to yellow if acids are produced from metabolisms of the citrate by the organism. Unknown microorganism #7, later identified as Staphylococcus epidermidis, was not able to use citrate as its sole carbon source as indicated by the lack of color change in the medium.

Perhaps Hurricane Sandy is responsible for this Old Saybrook Historical Society sign hanging askew.
Best viewed at original size.
Tell all the truth but tell it slant,
Success in circuit lies,
Too bright for our infirm delight
The truth's superb surprise;
As lightning to the children eased
With explanation kind,
The truth must dazzle gradually
Or every man be blind.
-----Emily Dickinson
