Faced with a judge’s ruling that they cannot seek the death penalty against YNW Melly, Florida prosecutors are now fighting to overturn that decision – and asking to further delay trial for a rapper who has already been in jail for more than three years. With the first phase of a jury trial set to kick off Tuesday, prosecutors argued Friday (July 8) that Judge Andrew Siegel was wrong in his ruling last week, which said that the state had forfeited the right to seek the death penalty by failing to give Melly and his attorneys proper notice. If granted,…

The biomolecule diphthamide is essential for the proper formation of proteins in cells. When humans are infected with diphtheria, diphthamide is altered by the diphtheria toxin so that life-threatening complications can arise as a consequence of an impaired formation of proteins. Up to now, diphthamide was only known to occur in animals and fungi. A research team has now demonstrated that the biomolecule also occurs in plants. The researchers also showed that its formation can be affected by certain environmental factors. This was published in the journal Nature Communications, 11 July 2022. The study was carried out in Ute Krämer’s…

To slow down the rapid spread of tick-borne illnesses, the ideal public health strategy would be to predict where the pests are likely to be concentrated—and immediately getting this information to medical professionals and the public. That’s why researchers are trying to develop an accurate way of forecasting where dangerous ticks might be. Such a program could ideally be used like a weather map to anticipate danger areas. When it comes to tick-borne illness, forewarned is forearmed. If hikers, for example, have a forecast indicating that the woods they are passing through are likely to have dangerous ticks, they can…

According to a recent study, a group of researchers have developed a unique, gold-spun, ultra-thin sensor that can be placed directly on the skin without irritation or discomfort.The findings of the study were published in the journal Advanced Optical Materials.The ultrathin sensor can evaluate different biomarkers or substances to perform body chemical analysis. It works using a Raman spectroscopy technique, where laser light aimed at the sensor is changed slightly depending on whatever the chemicals at that point are present on the skin. The sensor can be tuned finely to be extremely sensitive, and it’s robust enough for practical use.Wearable…

Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain People who become wealthy in the United States may tend to boast of their humble beginnings, but new research finds that they may, in fact, be less sympathetic to the difficulties of being poor than those who were born rich. Prior research has focused on how beliefs about social mobility influence political and economic attitudes, but this new research, published in Social Psychological and Personality Science, examines how the experiences of upward mobility can shape a person’s worldview. “In the United States, we find that people expect those who became rich to be more sympathetic toward…

In February 2022, Harris pleaded guilty to two charges of sex crimes involving minors…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write A Captiva Wedding?

I also loved the fact that she couldn’t see herself as married or having children. If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of A…
Fans of Gentleman Jack were left in shock earlier this month when HBO opted to cancel the drama after two seasons. The series, which was a co-production between HBO and the BBC, came to a grinding halt after HBO pulled the plug. Series creator, Sally Wainwright is hopeful the show could return in some capacity down the line. In an interview with RadioTimes.com, Wainwright said that “there is a desire to go on with it amongst quite a lot of people.” The main hurdle standing in the way of a pickup is that an international partner would have to be…
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has advised vaccine makers to update COVID booster shots to target new forms of the Omicron variant. In calling for the change, the FDA heeded the recommendations of its Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee (VRBPAC), which voted 19–2 in favor of Omicron-adapted boosters after a public meeting on June 28. New boosters could be rolled out this fall, but that will likely be too late to prevent the current surge in cases resulting from the Omicron subvariants BA.4 and BA.5 in the U.S. and other countries. Existing vaccines target the ancestral form…
Low-mass planets with a primordial atmosphere of hydrogen and helium might have the temperatures and pressures that allow water in the liquid phase. The presence of liquid water is favorable for life, so that these planets potentially harbour exotic habitats for billions of years. Credit: © (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0) – Thibaut Roger – Universität Bern – Universität Zürich. Life on Earth began in the oceans. In the search for life on other planets, the potential for liquid water is therefore a key ingredient. To find it, scientists have traditionally looked for planets similar to our own. Yet, long-term liquid water…
