VH1 Gives Series Order to Scripted Drama 'Bounce'
Dean Cain, Kimberly Elise and Charlotte Ross star in the about a pro basketball dance team.
VH1 has picked up its second scripted comedy, giving series orders to Bounce.
Bounce, starring Dean Cain, Kimberly Elise and Charlotte Ross revolves around the Los Angeles Devil Girls, a preeminent dance team in professional basketball, the cable network announced Tuesday.
Written and created by James LaRosa, the series follows the lives of the dancers, the woman who runs the dance squad, the players and the team's coach and players.
The series is exec produced by Maggie Malina and LaRosa, with Sanaa Hamri directing the pilot. VH1 will begin production on the entry next year.
Bounce joins Single Ladies, which is also exec produced by Malina, on the scripted front.
"[Bounce] has all the elements we know VH1 viewers love; a world very much on the pop culture radar, an incredible cast and compelling, addictive storytelling," said Jeff Olde, exec vp original programming and production at VH1. "These are all set against a glamorous backdrop where amazing dance numbers organically break out as part of the story. We wanted to create a scripted series at VH1 in which music is a strong narrative force, and we have found that with Bounce."

I’ve long been fascinated by the idea of automated testing of production software. The problem I faced in implementing anything like “automated testing” was that I couldn’t figure out how to do it with embedded firmware.
Writing firmware can be tricky. There are often dependencies that you can’t control. Typical problems include: How do you test complicated protocol stacks? How can you test the control of analog hardware whose behavior changes with temperature and/or humidity? How can you automate observations of whether the LED is blinking?
In my many years of working as a “seasoned” embedded software engineer, I have been responsible for the creation of multiple large gobs of code that have seemed difficult or even impossible to test.
My VHDL-slinging coworkers would often share their experiences of creating “test benches” to verify their complicated FPGA designs. It sounded good but these same coworkers would end up walking away in frustration when I started asking questions like: “Yea, but how can I write a test case for this piece of hardware that has dramatically different analog responses over time?”
Some of you might be more evolved than I was and may have just rattled off a bunch of answers to the questions above. My problem was I just didn’t understand how to do it. I knew in my heart that there had to be a way but I didn’t understand what it was.
I often looked in envy at my peers that were writing server-based and PC-based code. I’d mockingly say to myself: “It must be nice to work with ‘testable software’.” – I would talk myself into believing it was impossible to develop meaningful tests for embedded firmware.
At one really low point of my career, I even went as far as to learn VHDL in the hopes that working with test benches would help show me a path forward. – I was beginning to understand what my coworkers had been talking about but I still failed to see how it could be applied in a meaningful way to the art of embedded software.
Then I discovered James Grenning‘s book, Test Driven Development for Embedded C. It took me a while to work through his examples but it felt as though this book was specifically written to address my concerns, systematically. – I’ve since discovered others writing about the topic, which is awesome, but this was the first light of hope that I had ever seen.
To help myself work thorough my frustrations/confusion, I took a software module I had written ages ago and used it to create some test cases that could be called any time it was compiled with GCC on Linux (long live make!).
It was all interesting but I needed a project to apply the knowledge to.
It took a while to identify a good pilot project but it eventually came in the form of a need to develop a firmware driver that could dynamically discover the midpoint of a noisy sinusoidal curve. (Sounds like a crazy piece of hardware, right?) I had finally found an excuse to develop a piece of production embedded code using TDD!
My tools were a little clunky since I was choosing to use a Linux Virtual Machine to run my test suite on but it worked! I was able to develop a working solution relatively quickly, with a significantly shorter code-debug-test-repeat development cycle.
There were a few challenges along the way:
- It was tough to effectively sync code changes between the development machine and the test-target, a Linux Virtual Machine. Distributed Version Control (long live Mercurial!) quickly solved that problem.
- Collecting reasonable data to model tests with. This was solved thanks to a very patient test engineer and a bit of Python code to interact with “dumb” firmware that could perform analog reads-and-writes.
- But! The. Biggest. Problem. I fought was during the integration of the firmware with the real target hardware. There was a behavior in the real system that was never effectively captured by my model-generating firmware and Python code. The target hardware had some hysteresis effects that I failed to capture in my models due to the slower read-write cycle of my PC-based controller. This made for a very frustrating integration
sessionmonth but in the end, we were successful. I had been working with an inaccurate model and it took a frustrating amount of time to recognize the hysteresis.
The takeaway is that TDD for embedded projects is far more feasible than I once thought. In talking with some of my colleagues that also write embedded software, it seems a bit atypical in practice but I believe it should be a best-practice for our field and should probably be embraced. I certainly need to refine my processes but there are a lot of benefits to this style of development.

Pop star Michael Jackson, angry over a “demeaning and insensitive” new Eminem music video that makes light of the child molestation charges against him, Tuesday asked that networks pull it off the air.
Eminem’s “Just Lose It” video shows the rapper, dressed as Jackson, sitting on the edge of a bed as young boys bounce behind him. At another point his nose falls off, a reference to rumors that Jackson has had extensive plastic surgery.
The video has already been pulled off the BET cable television network at the request of the self-proclaimed “King of Pop,” who became one of the best-selling recording artists of all time in part thanks to his elaborate and pioneering music videos.
“I’m very angry at Eminem’s depiction of me in this video. I feel that it is outrageous and disrespectful. It is one thing to spoof but it is another to be demeaning and insensitive,” Jackson said in a radio interview in Los Angeles, according to a transcript provided by his spokeswoman.
“I’ve admired Eminem as (an) artist and was shocked by this. The video was inappropriate and disrespectful to me, my children, my family and the community at large,” he said. “It is my hope that the other networks will take BET’s lead and pull it.”
A publicist for Eminem released a brief statement saying ”We are sorry” BET chose to take the video off the air. He declined further comment.
Jackson, 46, faces trial in January on a 10-count indictment that charges him with child molestation and conspiracy. He has pleaded not guilty.
BET is owned by Viacom Inc, which also owns the MTV and VH1 music cable networks.

Lupins are perennial plants that produce their first flowers in late May or early June. They can continue flowering into the beginning of August if they're regularly dead-headed. The flowers are large and display almost every colour a flower can, including shades that are usually not seen.
When grown from seed, lupins are an excellent plant for growing in a cottage garden. This article will only cover perennial varieties of the lupins since annual plants have different needs.
Thinking about adding Lupins to your garden? Check out our useful checklist below:
- They prefer soils with a pH value between 6.0 and 7.5, but they will grow successfully in the majority of other soil types, even those that are low in nutrients.
- One way to include them in your garden is by planting five or more of them as a group. Alternatively, you could mix them with other bedding plants in an interspersed fashion.
- They like well-drained soil, but can be successful in most gardens
- They don't like to stand in wet conditions all the time which will eventually rot the roots (crown).
- Aphids have been a major issue for Giant Lupin.
- Full sun is preferred although they can grow successfully in light shade.
- They can grow up to 1.2 meters (4ft) in height, depending on the soil and weather conditions. They don't need staking when outdoors but may benefit from staking indoors.
- Slug and snails will eat young plants, inset especially.
- They can withstand frost and cold extremely well.
- They are healthy plants and you do not have any great knowledge needed to grow them.
Lupin Growth Calendar: When To Sow?
Sow Lupin seeds indoors - March week 1
Buy and pot up plug plants - April week 3
Harden off Lupin plants - April week 4
Plant out Lupin seedlings - May week 1
Harvest Lupin seeds - July / August
To Grow Lupins From Plants Or Seeds?
Growing lupins can be achieved in both two ways, either through sowing your seeds or transplanting cuttings. Costs and preferred colour decide between the two methods. Lupin seeds are about £2.50 for a pack of 40 and will give you good plants, some flowers in the first year, others might only flower in the second year.
Planting cuttings of lupins will result in independent plants that are an exact replica of the original parent plant. There are two basic types of plants: plug and pot plants. While both require more investment than simply purchasing some seedlings, it is generally a good idea to buy your plants this way because you can be sure that the plant you receive will have the variety and colour selection that you desire.
How To Sow Lupin Seeds?
The process for seeding saved seeds or seeds from packets bought in a garden centre is usually the same. For reliable results, sow seeds indoors; they can also be planted outside a month later if desired. The best time to sow lupin seeds indoors is around the first week of March.
In order to avoid having longer wait times between when you sow the seeds and when they start growing, soak them before initial sowing. You can sow seed initially in seed modules, and then transplant into a larger container when the seedlings have four or more leaves. To plant straight to pot, start with a seed and layer it about 1 cm deep in an 8 cm/3-inch container of the best quality compost you can find. After sowing cover the top of the container with compost. Water lightly and keep it moist but not wet which could "lodge" the root ball too deeply into this delicate material
Lupin seeds will germinate best in a range of roughly 15°C to 20°C or the temperature of a cool room in a centrally heated house. Seedlings will usually emerge after 10 to 15 days. Advise keeping them in a cool, light position like on a windowsill but not one with any direct sunlight.
In order to be able to plant your plants outside, harden them off about a week or two prior.
Where To Buy Lupin Plants?
These plants are popular and can be purchased from garden centres or on the internet. Suppliers typically offer large pots as well as smaller ones for purchase.
How & Where To Plant Lupins In Your Garden
Lupins prefer a sunny location but will also grow well in partial shade; they do not grow well in deep shade. Plants of this variety do well in a wide range of soil types
However, if your ground is predominantly chalky or waterlogged, these plants are more likely to die during the winter. Ensuring that there is enough soil with chunks of grit before planting will be key for success.
Planting lupins is simple. Dig the garden area well where they are to be planted and sprinkle blood, fish and bone into the soil. Dig a hole for each plant and carefully plant it in so it reaches the same height as how tall it was in the pot. Lupins grow from crowns and if these are planted too deep they may rot. They should be planted at least 30cm to 45cm (12in to 18in) apart.
How To Look After Lupins?
Removing or deadheading flowers
To reap the longest flowering period possible from your lupins, make sure to cut off heads when they have shrivelled up. The flowers will die from the base of the flower head. Deadheading is recommended after two thirds of the flowers have died, new smaller flowers will soon appear.
How to care for lupins over winter?
There are no actions to take as the foliage turns brown and starts dying back during winter. In early spring, use scissors to trim dead leaves. There are many factors that determine how long a lupin will live, including the conditions in which it is grown. Generally speaking, they will produce flowers for five years and then become woody and unproductive. At this stage, you may want to dig up the bulbs and divide them. You will break their long taproot and they may not grow for four or five years. But if you do this, the plants will produce flowers for another four or five years.
How much water do lupins need?
Lupins are strong, long-lasting perennial plants that do not need frequent watering to survive. They make for great plants because they can take care of themselves in terms of water and nutrients as they have wide taproots that allow the roots to find water even during periods of extreme drought. So you don't need to be alarmed if your lupin is wilting from lack of water.
Do lupins need a feed?
Lupins can grow without the need for fertilizer, but if you suspect that there might be an excessive amount of nitrogen in your soil, it's important to know that lupin foliage will actually make them more palatable for aphids.
Diseases & Pests Lupins Are Susceptible to
This aphid, which often attacks lupins, can cause a host of problems for gardeners. For example, if left to their own devices the Giant Lupin Aphid will result in poor flowers and foliage that are vulnerable to other pests and fungus. STo prevent aphids, spray any lupins that you have with a systemic insecticide on the first signs of invintation, which is usually May. Re-spray two weeks later. Organic solutions will not work to prevent aphid attacks as they are ineffective in this situation.
Occasionally the base of plants rots and this can happen because the soil was too moist. Dig up the rotted plants, spaced out those left standing a little more, it may be that next year there is not an issue at all.
Slugs & Snails
Slug and snail problems are rampant in some areas of the UK. Organic slug pellets do not work for snails on lupin plants. Normal slug pellets seem to be effective!
Colour Changes With Lupins
Lupins will maintain their colours throughout the year. One can predict a change in colour by noticing that this plant has self-seeded (lupins are particularly good at this). Lupin plants that have successfully seeded will most likely return to their original blue hue each year, as it is considered dominant present within its genes. To prevent the plants from self-seeding, remove all of the flowers before they fall to the ground.
How to save lupin seeds
To harvest seeds in late July, allow seed pods to turn brown and then remove them from the plant. Open up the pods to get at the seeds. The seeds will keep for three years or more if stored correctly. The older the seeds, the more important it is to soak the seeds before sowing.
How to grow Lupins in containers?
One of the key problems with growing lupins in containers is they grow taller than 150cm / 60in
Only large and heavy pots are suitable for this type of plant. The need for deeply rooted plants combined with their immobile size means that potting them can't be done without moving large, heavy pots.
Planting a pot requires a suitable container (with a drainage hole in the bottom) containing multi-purpose soil and sharp grit. Apart from this, it should have no special requirements.
To make these plants thrive, they will need watering often. Rainwater is best for them because they prefer slightly acidic conditions. To collect rainwater conveniently see our article on water butts that can be used in the garden or patio. A fortnightly application of liquid tomato feed from April to late June is the best way.
When the leaves die back in winter, you should only remove them if it is to give your appearance a clean look. The best time to do this is in spring when new shoots are showing.
Lupins are beautiful flowers with long taproots that help them survive even in the harshest of conditions. They need very little care to stay healthy and grow, but they do require water at least twice a week or else their leaves will start wilting. If you have any questions about lupin plants, feel free to ask our team for more information! We're happy to answer your gardening question by emailing or leaving a comment below.

I really enjoy utilizing k2 as well as other blends of incense. I chose I wanted to make some on my own. It turned out to be really cheap and also came out fantastic! The complying with are step-by-step instructions on just how to make your very own blends of incense.
You are watching: How to make jwh 018 at home
First of all, you will certainly require the adhering to tools:
-Milliliter measuring beaker
– Digital scale
– Glass baking dish
– Small mixing bowl
– Bottle of 100% pure Acetone
– HDPE spray bottle
– 2 ounces of Marshmellow, Mullein, or Foilage Leaves
– Rubber gloves
– Your option of JWH-250, JWH-200, JWH-073, JWH-018, or an additional JWH that you prefer
So let’s begin.
Pour 5 milliliters of Acetone right into your little mixing bowl. Next, weigh out 1 gram of high-quality JWH-018, and also then very closely pour it right into your mixing bowl. Mix the Acetone and also JWH together until the JWH is entirely liquified. If essential, add even more Acetone gradually to totally mix with the JWH.
Adding more Acetone won’t impact the potency of the incense you are making, however it will certainly influence the drying time and additionally the aroma potentially. Finish mixing together the JWH and Acetone. Pour the JWH-Acetone mixture carefully right into your spray bottle.
Adjust your spray bottle so it is on the best possible mist because a finer mist will administer your incense through a much better balance. It will certainly work to use 5 ml of Acetone but it might be difficult to perform is your spray bottle is as well significant. If it becomes difficult to spray then include Acetone slowly till it becomes simpler to spray
Weight out 2 ounces specifically of Foilage leaves. Keep in mind that the major factor that determines exactly how potent your incense will be just how much of the foliage leaves you usage. Using 2 ounces of foliage leaves and 1 gram of JWH is a small much less than 20 mg which is pretty solid.
It is fairly equivalent to k2. If you would choose your blend to be a tiny less potent, even more foliage can be added. However before, I wouldn’t recommfinish that you include even more JWH! Pour the foliage leaves into your baking dish and also then evenly spcheck out them approximately. Next off, usage the JWH mixture to spray the tops of the foliage leaves.
Spraying as evenly as you perhaps deserve to is exceptionally necessary. You don’t desire to have any kind of hotspots. A hotspot occurs as soon as one foilage leaf has also a lot JWH on it. After you spray the tops of the foliage leaves, use your gloves to mix the foliage and spread the foliage aobtain over the entirety baking dish.
Spray your JWH mix when aacquire evenly over the baking dish. Continue the procedure until you have offered up all of your JWH mixture.
For ideal outcomes, enable the incense to dry overnight. JWH incense has a tendency to clump as it is drying. Break the clumps up and also mix well. After the incense has entirely dried add your flavor drops and also extracts.

Now you have made 2 ounces worth of high-quality incense! Enjoy and be safe, as always!

Students, researchers and others at Indiana University do an awful lot of diving for a land-locked, Midwestern university.
In 2016 alone, participants in university snorkeling and diving programs visited seven countries. More than 500 university participants reported diving, logging more than 530 hours, with 140 of these hours occurring during training and scientific dives. The activities involved programs, staff and students from IU Bloomington, IU Southeast, IU South Bend and IUPUI.
IU's diving instruction program, begun in 1963, even predates the industry professional organization, the Professional Association of Dive Instructors, which is the umbrella organization for most SCUBA training and resources. With deep expertise a plenty, the university has created the IU Diving Safety Program and an accompanying Snorkeling and Scuba Diving Policy to make sure best practices are standard across all programs, activities and IU campuses.
"We want to make sure faculty and students are protected and cared for," said Mylana Haydu, Diving Safety Officer. The program is through IU Environmental Health and Safety. "The university can provide shared resources and expertise. You don't have to recreate the wheel for each project and program."
Diving and snorkeling programs and activities at IU come in various forms. They could involve archaeological research, work on underwater parks, study abroad courses, or domestic programs with Boy Scouts, to name a few.
The diving safety program requires those organizing these activities to demonstrate that appropriate planning has been conducted, taking into consideration how medical emergencies would be handled in remote areas, for example; that training is up-to-date; that equipment will be safe; and that participants undergo appropriate medical exams.
Diving can be dangerous, Haydu said, but the diving safety program can identify and address gaps, reducing the chance of crises in the field -- or ocean, in this case. They ask about the reliability of the air supply, for example, and quality of the boats. Additional training may be needed, for example, to cover challenges posed by a particularly deep diving site or projects requiring unique research methodology.
Haydu, in consultation with a 12-member Diving Control Board, is able to customize training based on the needs of the programs.
Bob Kessler, who serves as recreational diving subcommittee chair of the Diving Control Board, said the new Diving Safety Program and policy are critical components to helping ensure the safety of students, staff and faculty involved with all aspects of diving. For scientific diving, he said, the program is required by OSHA.
"It already has helped to increase communication across campuses in regards to the sharing of ideas and activities amongst researchers and educators," he said. "I would say it's gotten off to a great start."
Mike Jenson, Director for IU Environmental Health and Safety, agrees.
"The biggest aim is obviously to keep members of the university community as safe as possible when diving," Jenson said. The program also provides a one-stop shop for those who are sponsoring and participating in diving activities to ensure that all compliance and liability responsibilities will be fully met."
The IU Academic Diving Manual, various required forms and information about the program can be found at Protect IU. Search for #IUDiveSafe on Facebook and Instagram or check out Protect IU Facebook for pictures and videos about the Diving Safety Program and a recent certification activity involving the Academic Diving Program.

SWC Free Walk 57, Guildford via Chantries Hill Circular. 1/4/12.
Yet another cracking day of walking! This time about 14 miles in the hinterland of the Surrey town of Guildford and the Surrey Hills AONB. Leaving the station, the walk follows the River Wey Navigation, then, briefly,The North Downs Way before ascending Chantries Hill on the Pilgrim's Way for some fine views and, in season, delightful bluebell woods (just appearing today). Rejoining the North Downs Way, the walker climbs steadily for lunch, and further fine views, at the hilltop church of St Martha's. Thereafter, it's a steady descent into Albury (possible pub lunch here) on The Downs Link path and then on to the sandy heathlands and woods of Blackheath. Soon, the walk follows what appears to be a former railway line beside the River Wey and the walk back into Guildford. A lovely walk of contrasts, aided and abetted by some delightful April weather. Unlike the recent Essex walk, no shortage of water in this part of Surrey! (Still believe the 'mysterious bird' is a Nuthatch, based on its beak and a glimpse of orange flank).

In our fast-paced, industrialized world, it can be easy to forget about the natural world around us. We evolved without smartphones, computers, cars, houses, roads–we did evolve within nature, though. Which is why it has such a powerful effect on us when we spend time in it; this is the basis of outdoor therapy.
More and more evidence is mounting that outdoor therapy is a way to not only exercise the body, but the mind as well. It’s a way to uniquely work through issues and challenges that is impossible to do out of nature.
Nature is the best place to exercise
So, why don’t people exercise? It’s because it doesn’t feel good, right? It doesn’t make you happy. It may make you happy in the long-run, but in the moment it sucks–and people tend to stop doing things that don’t feel great.
Recently, high-intensity workouts have been popular, but people report really hating them while they’re doing them–which could lead to them quitting down the road. A group of researchers in Austria decided they wanted to know whether lengthening a workout, but lowering its intensity, would create a more enjoyable experience.
They had groups do 2 types of workouts and one 3-hour session of sitting in a common room with other people, computers, and books. The first workout was a 3-hour hike through the mountains. The second workout (on a different day) was a 3-hour walk, but on a treadmill.
Even though the mountain hike was definitely more strenuous, nearly all the participants said that the mountain hike was the least strenuous between the two. Alongside that, their mood scores trended much higher after the mountain hike versus the treadmill.
They also found that the walk on the treadmill left the groups much more relaxed and happy opposed to the common room–meaning that people preferred walking over not walking.
This study shows that a nature walk is not only beneficial physically, but it also provided benefits to mood and stress levels.
Why outdoor therapy is so effective
The study above sort of outlines some of the reasons why outdoor therapy continues to be effective. It’s because there’s something about being out in nature that lowers cortisol levels and releases happy hormones that put you in a better headspace. Combining this power with therapeutic methods creates an approach unlike any other.
Outdoor therapy involves a lot of skill building and mastery. The teens in these therapy programs often have self-esteem issues and think they can’t accomplish much, but in outdoor therapy activities, they learn otherwise. They learn that if they work hard on something, they can overcome the challenge, which removes the anxiety around future obstacles.
If you believe your teen is struggling, it’s critical to reach out to a professional for further guidance.
Trails Carolina is here for your family
Searching for the right program that fits your struggling teen can be a lengthy process. If traditional outpatient therapies aren’t offering improvements, it might be time to look into a outdoor therapy program like Trails Carolina.
Trails Carolina is a wilderness therapy program for teens, ages 10 to 17, struggling with issues such as depression, anxiety, ADHD and many others.

This research work describes the usage of embedded instruments, which provide (periodic) data to be employed for predicting the remaining lifetime of processor cores in homogeneous multi- processor SoCs during their lifetime. This forms the basis of self-repair with no mean down time for these SoCs and dramatically improving their dependability. We accomplish this goal by optimally choosing and combining our designed EI, such as delay and current monitors to provide non-redundant measurement data. Accelerated stress tests were carried out using a set of processor cores in combination with a number of health monitors providing historic data. These results form the basis of a remaining lifetime prediction model for delay (processor clock frequency), After the final test of an individual SoC, these stored coefficients can be periodically updated in an embedded processor during its lifetime by the EI . In the case of seriously degrading cores, counteractions are automatically taken, like core isolation and (e.g. spare) replacement. The result is a zero mean downtime SoC with dramatic reliability improvement in our 9 processor-core SoC.

The force is strong with these ones: Drugs that make superbugs 'as harmless as a naked Darth Vader' offer hope of a cure
Treatment disarms the bacteria, allowing body's immune system to take over the fight
12:04 GMT, 24 August 2012
A drug that renders superbugs defenceless like a 'naked Darth Vader' could offer a breakthrough cure, researchers have said.
Rather than trying to kill bacteria outright, Universit de Montral researchers have discovered the resistant bacteria can be tackled with a treatment that weaken them, allowing the body's immune system to take over the fight.
Dr Christian Baron, the study's lead author and Professor at the Department of Biochemistry, said: 'To understand this strategy one could imagine harmful bacteria being like Darth Vader, and the anti-virulence drug would take away his armor and lightsaber.
Fighting the dark side: The drug makes superbugs as harmless as a 'naked Darth Vader'
'A naked Darth Vader would be an easy target and similarly, pathogenic bacteria without their virulence factors would be rendered harmless and eliminated by our immune system.'
Virulence factors are what make certain bacteria harmful to our bodies and differentiate them from most bacteria that live on our body or inside the intestinal system, which are harmless or in some cases even useful for us.
Dr Baron's research group will publish an article outlining the details of their findings tomorrow in Chemistry & Biology.
Infectious diseases caused by pathogenic bacteria were a major scourge of mankind, but thanks to the introduction of antibiotics beginning in the middle of the 20th century, most bacterial infections were largely controlled.
It was a widely held belief that biomedical research had largely won the battle against these diseases.
However, as antibiotics kill by targeting the essential cell functions of most (not always all) bacteria, this leads to survival of the most adaptable.
Dr Baron said: 'Bacteria have the capacity to develop resistance to antibiotics and they transfer this capacity to their offspring and to other bacteria.
Superbug: The anti-virulence drugs could help beat bacteria such as Clostridium difficile
'As a consequence, resistance began to emerge among the bacteria soon after the introduction of antibiotics.
'In their worst forms, “superbugs” have emerged, those resistant to all but a few or even to all antibiotics.'
Dr Baron's team has discovered small molecules that target proteins in a biological system (a type IV secretion system) that is required for many bacteria to be harmful.
'As if we were pulling on a loose thread in Darth Vader's cape, we have found a way to unravel the molecular details of the binding of these molecules to a target protein known as VirB8, a key part of the virulence mechanism of human and animal pathogenic Brucella species of bacteria,' Dr Baron explained.
The strategy has many advantages since resistance to such treatments would likely be slow or might not even occur. Virulent bacteria could be rendered as harmless as those that live in our gut.
The concept of anti-virulence drugs still has to be proven in the clinic, but could emerge as formidable weapons as doctors seek ways to fight ever-evolving bacteria.

The Office's lovable Jim Halpert, John Krasinski, is heading to a new office: the CIA.
Deadline announced today that Krasinski will be taking the title role in Jack Ryan, a new Paramount TV series that will air on Amazon, based on Tom Clancy's best-selling series of novels.
The series is being produced in association with Michael Bay's Platinum Dunes and Skydance Media and was co-created by Lost's Carlton Cuse and Graham Roland. Deadline mentions that there has been no official order from Amazon yet, but Jack Ryan is expected to go straight to series.
Krasinski is the fifth actor to portray Jack Ryan, but the first to do so in a television show. Alec Baldwin first played the character in 1990's The Hunt for Red October, followed by Harrison Ford in 1992's Patriot Games and 1994's Clear and Present Danger, Ben Affleck in 2002's The Sum of All Fears, and Chris Pine in 2014's Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit.
The TV series won't be based on a specific Jack Ryan novel, of which there are nine, not including a couple of spinoff series. Instead, the show will be using the novels as general source material to create original stories. Ryan, injured in a helicopter accident while serving in the Marines, becomes a successful financial analyst that is recruited by the CIA.

Hey I'm Claire. Main things about me: I am outgoing, up for a giggle and a beer, always looking for creative ideas, I live by the moto: do one thing that scares you everyday, and I want to go rtw in February 08 with no planes!!
Plan would be:
London to Russia ( by trains, stopping off at random places along the way!!!)
Transiberian train from Russia to China
Down to Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Malaysia, Borneo, Singapore (lots of Asia delights basically)
Then over to Melbourne and the rest of Australia.
Hopefully want to add South America and India into the trip. But the overland to Asia bit is what I wanna do!!
So if anyone is adventourous enough to give it a go and get away from boring plane journeys give me a bell!!!!!!

(February 13, 2019) Data from a study conducted by researchers at MD Anderson and Johns Hopkins suggest that an adjuvant gastrointestinal (GI)-based chemotherapy regimen is more beneficial than one that is gynecologic-based in patients with mucinous ovarian cancer. Because mucinous patients don’t typically do particularly well on regimens usually used to treat the more common high grade serous ovarian cancer, researchers have been working on exploring other approaches to better treat this subtype of patients.
The research team conducted a retrospective cohort study to determine whether the use of a GI-based regimen would be associated with a difference in survival compared with use of a gynecologic-based regimen in patients with mucinous ovarian cancer who received postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy. The results, presented at the 2019 SGO Annual Winter Meeting, were promising. Read more here.

Of course, we couldn't expect time to freeze its relentless path and forever preserve the Welsh sensation Charlotte Church in a chrysalis of precocious youth. And yet, at 15 and now taking bolder steps into expanding her repertory on Enchantment, the soprano remains a marvel of a prodigy. Here, she scours a wider range of sources than on her previous albums. Church moves with breathtaking ease from classic Broadway (West Side Story, Show Boat, South Pacific) to traditional Celtic, film ballads, and even a couple of high-operatic numbers. Church's straightforward approach to the melody of "La Habanera" may not exactly be what Bizet had in mind for his Carmen, but fans will get double pleasure out of the singer's exquisite duet with herself on the haunting "Flower Duet" from Delibes's Lakmé. What's more, there's a greater freedom of expression and sense of how to shape a phrase in many of these tracks--notice how much there is to savor, for instance, in "The Water Is Wide" and "Carrickfergus." It all adds up to a widely varied course, demonstrating the continued growth of a singularly gifted young artist. --Sarah Chin

Not only that, but since when is "Mien Herr Marquis" (Adele's Laughing Song) or "Habanera" appropriate for a fifteen year old girl? Most twenty year olds don't even sing them! If I went into my vocal instructor's studio and asked her if we could sing "Adele's Laughing Song or Carmen's "Habanera" she would more than likely flip her lid, meaning either die of fright or shock, or just die from the thought of a fifteen year old girl (like myself) singing the arias.
Many things where wrong about how the arias where sung. First off, you don't take a classic french aria and make it into a 'ropera' (rock opera) song, and then try to pull of shaking your (...) on Jay Leno as dancing. It just does not work.
Secondly, if you are going to sing "Adele's Laughing Song" you should have technique, lightness, and good german, not half way decent english. Being on key also helps too. I mean, singing a C sharp when the note is a high D? If you can't sing the note then don't sing the aria. Its not rocket science, its simple vocal knowledge.
The only thing that Church sings in her repertoire for this disc that is even half suited to her voice is "Carrickfergus".Read more ›
She has a beautiful voice, which got her the three stars I gave her. She's not trying to be Renee Fleming or Kiri Te Kanawa, for example, so I don't hold a grudge against her because she doesn't sound like them. I also like that she doesn't feel the need to show skin like Britney Spears of other pop idols. But hers is a voice that sounds the same on every single song. And, while there is a lovely selection of songs on this CD, many of them are totally wrong for her. As for the good songs, her voice was perfect for "The Flower Duet" from Lakme, for example, but Adele's Laughing Song is far out of her league technically. She does have those high notes, but she needs to refine them with her voice teacher. "Carrickfergus" and a few others were also well done.
However, what was Ms. Church thinking when she did "Habanera?" The arrangement is interesting and original, but her voice ruins the song. This aria was written for a mezzo, and the only sopranos who should sing it are the ones who have "darker" timbres, like Maria Callas. Ms. Church apparently belongs to that ever-so-annoying group of sopranos who believe that, if it's in their range, they should sing it, even if it was written for a different voice part. And "Tonight" and "Somewhere," both from "West Side Story," my second-favorite musical ever, don't work at all. While Charlotte's youthful-sounding voice is appropriate for Maria, it doesn't have any character or interest to it. "Tonight" is devoid of the rapture and urgency it needs, and Ms. Church's boring and right-off-the-page delivery robs "Somewhere" of its poignancy.

Councillors are to decide whether to give the green light to a controversial new pedestrian and cycle bridge over the River Cam this week.
The £4.5 million route proposed by Cambridgeshire County Council would link land between Ditton Walk and Fen Road across Ditton Meadows and the river in Cambridge.
The council's own planning committee will decide on whether to approve the plans on Thursday (February 16).
The 44-metre long bridge aims to link the city wards of Chesterton and Abbey and prepare for the arrival of the new Cambridge North station later this year.
The scheme is linked to, but not dependent upon, City Deal plans to construct the Chisholm Trail cycle path between the city's existing railway station and the one in development.
Lying 12 metres to the east of the existing railway bridge, the new river crossing would be grounded on the southerly Abbey side in Ditton Meadows and to the north in Chesterton on private land next to Fen Road.
The project would include ramps, lighting, steps, paths to the public highway, landscaping, replacement of the jetty, and flood compensation areas.
Two-way pedestrian and cycle traffic would flow over the bridge that is proposed to be painted in the 'Cambridge Blue' colour.
Cambridge City Council has welcomed the proposals in principle and they have received strong support from the Cambridge Cycling Campaign.
However, some local residents have branded the plans "a terrible waste of money", "nasty", "invasive" and "a monstrosity".
Their concerns focus around the impact the development may have on the local ecology and character of Ditton Meadows and the colour for the bridge.
All of the land within the bridge application site is designated as both Cambridge Green Belt and part of the 'Central' Conservation Area.
Campaign group Friends of Ditton Meadows is running an online petition opposing "any form of destructive development in Ditton Meadows". It has gained more than 300 signatures.
On its website the group argues that the case for the new bridge has not been sufficiently made and an independent review is needed into the "flawed and biased" council consultation process.
It fears the ecological impact of the construction process could be "devastating" and leave "irreparable damage".
And it raises concerns that motorists will park in Fen Ditton to avoid paying the parking charges at the new railway station.
It stated: "The Meadows are one of the few remaining wild spaces close to Cambridge and the long views are enjoyed by people from throughout the city including joggers and ramblers, oarsmen and dog walkers, not just residents of Fen Ditton.
"It would be reckless to ruin an area of such natural beauty that should be preserved for future generations."
Fen Ditton Parish Council and the Wildlife Trust have also objected to the new bridge plans.
Council officers argue that the designs "preserve the openness of Ditton Meadows" and the crossing's low visual impact and location will ensure the public can "take advantage of the intentions of the Green Belt, the open landscapes and increased recreational access to the countryside".
County councillors backed the design of the bridge in December last year, with the final construction expected to welcome 4,000 cyclists a day.
Speaking at the time, Cambridgeshire County Councillor Ian Bates, chairman of the economy and environment committee, said: "This bridge will provide a vital and safe link for cyclists and pedestrians to jobs, transport hubs such as rail and education.
"We know in Cambridge that cycleways are not only well used but when provided encourage even more people to get on their bikes and reduce congestion and pollution, improve health and therefore boost the economy."
He added that if approval was given early this year work could start in the summer.

Sugar Rose Cupcakes and Teapot ShortbreadWednesday, October 12, 2011
Now, I know I said I'd bake a cake for the sugar roses and share photographs with you but I was a little distracted (forgivably, I think) by these:
Can you handle your excitement at my teapot shortbread biscuits? Maybe it's just me, but there's something so very satisfying about the pastel shades of royal icing on shortbready goodness.
I made teapots and scalloped circles, miniature heart biscuits and giant hearts. I made some cupcake-shaped biscuits as well but The Mister didn't photograph them.
I lined the hearts with white piping icing and filled with with a soft lilac icing (you can see in the image above) but they're oh-so-nice without any filling, too.
And just so you know that I didn't forget you all completely, I whipped up a batch of strawberry swirl sweetheart cupcakes and iced them with light strawberry buttercream. This one is topped with one of the miniature sugar roses I made this weekend.
You can see the strawberry swirl cake here (a bit) with the layers of vanilla and strawberry sponge showing through the white cases. I used a catering-sized piping nozzle to make nice layered buttercream swirls (yum) and topped with edible roses and glitter.
I made a selection of pink and white hearts from sugar paste as well, and sprinkled those with pearl dragees (why aren't they just called pearl balls?). I like this one best - simple, pretty and yum. As you can see, I had a bit of buttercream left over so I popped it into one of my icing squeezy bottles and popped on a star-shaped nozzle to pipe little flowers on top of the scalloped circles.
The roses turned out very well, I think, and they're quite easy to make once you get the hang of them. I love these colours, the two-toned sponge cakes, the almost-transparent edible glitter... I think we found a wedding winner! The only thing now is to figure out how to display the cookies and cupcakes at the actual wedding. Cake stand? Pretty antique plates?
Here's my rather fool-proof sugar biscuit recipe from this website:

“If dance is an expression of the human spirit, then it is best expressed by people of all abilities.”
This is the core belief behind the Dancing Wheels Company & School, a physically integrated dance company that facilitated a workshop utilizing individuals of all abilities to dance, for elementary education and adapted physical activity students Thursday, Nov. 13, in the West Gym dance studio.
Co-sponsored by the President’s Commission on Disability Issues and the Departments of Dance and Physical Education: Adapted Physical Activity, the workshop was meant to provide students with a method and practice of teaching that can be applied to several fields, Dr. Ursula Payne, chairperson and professor of dance, said.
“Sometimes we forget how creative movement and dance are not just solely for entertainment,” Payne said. They are also about wellness, therapeutic tools and building relationships between communities and departments, she said.
As a part of the dance and adapted physical activity dual degree program, dance majors may select from a variety of dance and adapted physical activity courses to receive a bachelor of arts in dance and transition into SRU’s adapted physical activity master’s program.
“My whole entire dream is to open up a dance studio for individuals with disabilities,” Caitlin Brosnahan, a dance major and current adapted physical activity graduate student, said.
“The dual degree program benefits me because I actually get to implement my dance programs and experience what it’s like rather than just learning about it,” she said.
Brosnahan believed the workshop would be interesting but also challenging because some of the company performers are in wheelchairs while many SRU dance students are able-bodied, she said.
“To learn their style, I think it would be beneficial to actually learn in a wheelchair,” Brosnahan said.
As both an instructor and a performer, Payne agreed that most individuals have to modify movements around their own bodies and any injuries, she said.
“We at Slippery Rock University, in terms of dance students we bring in, don’t have a specific ‘type’ of student,” Payne said. “We are really interested in individuals and how our program can help them reach their goals,” she said.
Brosnahan had the opportunity to interview Mary Verdi-Fletcher, the founder of the Dancing Wheels Company and a dancer in Thursday’s performance, about her philosophy on dance for a graduate leadership class project.
“I believe motivation comes from passion…passion to serve, passion to succeed and the drive to achieve,” Verdi-Fletcher told Brosnahan.
“If this is not part of the person’s make-up, they will not survive in our environment. I watch each and every individual and try to help them reach their potential, but will not stand for apathy or indifference,” Verdi-Fletcher said.
Payne regards Verdi-Fletcher as a pioneer in the field of dance, she said.
“I also think hosting the Dancing Wheels Company highlights the ways in which our program is innovative and interdisciplinary,” she said.
Payne hoped students left the workshop encouraged to develop a range of other skills to use in their careers and to become involved in inclusive communities.
The Dancing Wheels Company & School is a physically integrated dance company dedicated to inclusive arts and recreation opportunities for all. Founded by the first professional wheelchair dancer in the U.S., Mary Verdi-Fletcher, the Dancing Wheels Company & School combines the talents of dancers with and without disabilities to create a unifying expression of movement for all.

While we’re still in awe at just how amazing, spectacular and superior last year’s PS4-exclusive Marvel’s Spider-Man was, there’s now word of a new Marvel video game on the way.
In terms of story specifics or character focus, nothing has been revealed just yet. We do know, however, that Hamilton Chu and Ben Brode are working on the new project. That duo worked on Blizzard’s well-received Hearthstone, and now their new Second Dinner studio is to make said Marvel game its inaugural release. Variety is reporting that Second Dinner is received funding from Chinese tech company NetEase.
On the news, Chu enthused, “In all likelihood, this will be the best [Marvel] game ever made,” whilst Marvel Games’ Jay Ong added, “They and the team they’ve assembled at Second Dinner have made some of the greatest games in history. And now, working with the Marvel Games team and playing in the Marvel Universe… It’s going to be Amazing! Or maybe Spectacular! Or Incredible… or Mighty… or quite possibly all of the above!”
Here’s the official announcement trailer for all of this:
Expect more on this new Marvel effort as we get it.

Disbursement of the Bantuan Khas COVID-19 (BKC) fund starts rolling out today, according to Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob. BKC is a cash aid under the PEMULIH initiative that acts in addition to the Bantuan Prihatin Rakyat (BPR) programme.
The fund is worth a total of RM4.6 billion with the first phase doling out RM3.1 billion through banking institutions. “BKC will benefit some 10 million recipients, with a focus on targeted groups comprising the hardcore poor, B40, M40, and eligible bachelor groups,” said Ismail. Those categorised in the hardcore poor and B40 categories will start receiving their payments today, while those in the M40 group will have to wait until 9 September.
For the first two groups in this phase, households will get RM500 each while singles will only get RM200. As for the M40 households, they will receive a one-off payment RM250 while the M40 singles will be given RM100. Do take note that regardless of your category, if you are eligible but do not have a bank account, you will have to go to a BSN counter starting 9 September.
The second phase of BKC, slated to start later in November, will see hardcore poor households and singles be distributed with another RM500 and RM300 respectively with the M40 category completely left out. A final third phase in December will disburse an additional RM300 to both hardcore poor and B40 households, with no extra aid for singles.
Supposedly, you can check whether or not you’ll be receiving the BKC aid at this website, but as of this morning, the site is still not functional and only displays a poster for the dates of cash distribution. It’s also worth noting that recipients of BPR 2021 should be automatically eligible for BKC while those under appeal for BPR will have to wait until they are approved.
If you fail in your appeal to be categorised as B40, the Inland Revenue Board (LHDN) says they will check against existing tax records to verify if you are within the M40 income bracket. On another note, the Ministry of Finance still has not given any details on when they will begin phase 3 of BPR, which is supposed to start this month while there has also been no update on the status of BPR appeals since the second phase.
