Neurosyphilis is considered infectious but is not transmitted from person to person. Generally, a disease like this is caused by an infectious agent and not spread between people. Neurosyphilis, although infectious, is not a genetic disease.
Motown is a record company founded by Berry Gordy, Jr. and incorporated as Motown Record Corporation in Detroit, Michigan, USA, on April 14, 1960. The name, a portmanteau of motor and town, is also a nickname for Detroit.
The fact that Gordy started Motown out of his home is more than a quaint historical footnote. Doing that today in Detroitâs residential areas would violate the cityâs repressive ban on home-based businessesâa sad comment on how stifling Detroitâs regulations and taxes have become since the 1950s.
