The National Environment Agency (NEA) is exploring the use of biological control methods to control the spread of dengue in Singapore.
SINGAPORE: The National Environment Agency (NEA) is exploring the use of biological control methods to control the spread of dengue in Singapore.
One of the techniques involves the use of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, which are infected with a certain bacteria, to control their population.
In this method, male Aedes aegypti mosquitoes are infected with wolbachia, which are a type of naturally occurring bacteria found in more than 60 per cent of insect species, such as butterflies and fruit flies. However, the Aedes aegypti mosquito does not carry this bacteria.
When a male mosquito infected with this bacteria mates with a female mosquito, they produce sterile eggs that do not hatch. This will then lead to a fall in the Aedes mosquito population, and help to curb the spread of dengue.
The use of such methods is being studied in countries such as Australia, Vietnam and Indonesia. NEA said it is monitoring the results of these overseas trials.
The NEA's Environment Health Institute has been carrying out laboratory research studies on this technology.
It is part of a larger programme aimed at curbing dengue transmission.
This is in light of the dengue challenge Singapore faces, especially during the hotter months from June to October, traditionally the peak season for dengue transmission.
During this period, the Aedes mosquitoes breed faster. The incubation period for the dengue virus they carry, is also shorter.
The number of dengue cases has been on the rise, from 292 cases in the week of May 11-17, to 461 cases in the week of June 1-7.
NEA has appointed a panel of local and international experts to provide advice on new ways of dengue control, and their safety concerns.
The panel is chaired by epidemiologist and entomologist Professor Duane Gubler, who is the founding director of the Program in Emerging Infectious Diseases, Duke-NUS Graduate Medical School, Singapore.
Panel members include entomologist Professor Stephen Higgs, research director of the Biosecurity Research Institute and associate vice president for research at Kansas State University; and epidemiologist Associate Professor Vernon Lee from the Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health, National University of Singapore. Professor Lee is also the head of the Singapore Armed Forces' Biodefence Centre.
Grace Fu, Second Minister for Environment and Water Resources, said: "The panel will review the latest scientific progress underlying these new modalities and evaluate the safety of using these new methods.
"Public health and safety are our paramount concern. We are here to make sure that the public's hygiene and health are maintained. We will only consider conducting such trials locally if we are convinced that the methods proposed are safe and effective."
Ms Fu was speaking at the launch of the "Do the Mozzie Wipeout" Campaign 2014 on Sunday.
Apart from residents, this year's campaign reaches out to more segments of the community, including outbound travellers and foreign workers.
They will be given educational materials to help them stay vigilant and take steps to prevent the disease.

It counts if the team getting the pp puts it in their own net when the goalie is pulled..
Maybe that's what they were checking.
Clear no-goal but would explain checking the footage in the first place.
Yep, teams have scored in their own empty cage on a delayed penalty (where the offending team never gained possession). In fact, I think it happened in a Detroit/Anaheim game a few years ago. Shanahan got credit for someone (Oates?) inadvertantly tossing it all the way back into his own net.
Not if they have to touch it to score, though, of course. Even if it's just a tap-in.

Guess what? Your band is boring
|Is this your band? You're so boring it hurts.
I'm writing today from a couch that I didn't choose or buy, but that I agreed to host in my living room temporarily. Temporarily now being forever, it seems. It has since hosted many guests of house concerts featuring musicians from all over the country. I was supposed to be writing from a bus that was going to take me from Des Moines to Omaha for a solo performance tonight. The show is still on, but damn that bus was leaving early and I made the executive decision to find a different way to the show. It's going to be fine.
The purpose of that introduction might make sense a bit later, but for now, let's talk about the title of this piece: Your Band is Boring. Well, that's just it, isn't it? It's boring. If you are in a band and you are reading this, then I'm going to go ahead and make the assessment that the world would spin on without your band, that 99.99% of the human population has never heard of or will hear of your band (that's a very generous percentage in your favor, by the way, but I've got a length cap on this piece), and they won't know what they're missing, which is quite possibly not much. You might even be bored by your own band.More »

San Francisco Chronicle
The film is at its best in the bedroom, not shying away from the sexual relationship, but not being graphic about it, either. There is great sex, clumsy sex, tender sex - and it's all crucial to the story. Such genuine intimacy, whether gay or straight, is virtually nonexistent in American cinema. It's enthralling to see it here. show more
Elizabeth Weitzman New York Daily News
A well-written, sensitively directed relationship drama. In most circumstances, that's all it would be - and that would be enough. But lead Thure Lindhardt pushes the picture into realms of such exposed intimacy, you almost feel like you're dating him yourself. show more
The Hollywood Reporter
A stiff central performance diminishes its emotional impact, but the visually alluring film's sensuality and tenderness give it a lingering spell. show more
Bob Mondello NPR
The film, though, is as sure-footed as their partnership is not - a nuanced portrait of emotional turmoil, persuasively acted, richly sensual one moment, wrenching the next, and unlike so many films centering on gay characters, not particularly concerned with things like coming out or HIV. show more
Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times
By dropping in on this couple from time to time for the kinds of moments one of them might remember, the film is more honest than its characters. show more
Calvin Wilson St. Louis Post-Dispatch
The performances are first-rate, with Lindhardt particularly moving as a guy who's in deep denial about just how much he can expect from a relationship with an addict. show more
Lou Lumenick New York Post
A tough, well-acted little indie. show more
Ed Gonzalez Slant Magazine
More than just a relationship drama of striking specificity, this is a naked confession about addiction. show more
Wesley Morris Boston Globe
It's inspired of Sachs to lean on Russell for a kind of oblique emotional depth. But it's possible to leave this movie mistaking Sachs's soul for Russell's. show more
Ann Hornaday Washington Post
Never lets viewers fully inside Erik and Paul's world, a reticence that isn't helped by the actors' fey, restrained-to-a-fault performances. That and a frustratingly episodic structure make what might have been a raw and inspiring portrait of commitment and boundaries a surprisingly uninvolving, arms-length enterprise. Keep the Lights On lets go just when it should be holding you tighter. show more

For the multisensor linear discrete time-invariant stochastic systems with correlated noises and unknown noise statistics, an on-line noise statistics estimator is presented by using the correlation method. Substituting it into the steady-state Riccati equation, the self-tuning Riccati equation is obtained. Using the Kalman filtering method, based on the self-tuning Riccati equation, a self-tuning weighted measurement fusion white noise deconvolution estimator is presented. By the dynamic error system analysis (DESA) method, it is proved that the self-tuning fusion white noise deconvolution estimator converges to the optimal fusion steadystate white noise deconvolution estimator in a realization, so that it has the asymptotic global optimality. A simulation example for Bernoulli-Gaussian input white noise shows its effectiveness.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack has announced almost $12 million in additional drought aid.
The grant announced Wednesday will help livestock producers in 22 states apply conservation practices that reduce the impacts of drought and improve soil health and productivity.
Since early summer, USDA has announced a variety of assistance to producers impacted by the drought, including opening conservation acres to emergency haying and grazing, lowering the interest rate for emergency loans and working with crop insurance companies to provide flexibility to farmers.
Tennessee farmers have so far received a total of $1,762,300.
The funding through the Natural Resources Conservation Service goes to states that were hit with exceptional or extreme drought conditions, including Tennessee.

Beginning this weekend, Chef Joe Shaw at Miro District will be offering a chef's table every Friday and Saturday night. Their plan is to have two seatings per night of six to eight diners in the lower level of the restaurant at a large table positioned looking right into the busy kitchen. The menu will be a a fixed three-course menu selected every week by Chef Shaw from the regular dinner menu as well as different seasonal items. Wines will also be paired with each course, and you can get the whole kit and kaboodle for the ridiculously low price of $50 per person.
Chef Shaw will prepare and present each course and give information and answer questions about the food and wine at each course. The idea is for it to be a fun and interactive dining experience where guests can enjoy great food and maybe even learn something new.
For more information or to make a reservation please contact Jamie Smith at firstname.lastname@example.com or by calling 320-1119. Look to their website soon for further details.

It could be said that women and shoes go together like Georgia heat and sweat - you can't have one without the other.
Once summer rolls around, we're eyeing store windows looking for the perfect summer sandal to go with that new sundress we just bought. And with so many cute styles to choose from, picking the right sandal seems like a no-brainer. While it's true that shoes are a little easier to find than a perfectly fitting dress, it doesn't mean that every sandal is made equal - or that every woman looks good in every shoe she likes.
Head over heels. When looking for a strappy heel, think about where you'll wear it and what you have to go with it. Sure, a hot pink heel with navy blue stripes down the side might be eye-catching and fashion-forward in some galaxy far, far away, but does it actually go with anything in your closet? Buying a sandal based on theory means keeping the receipt where you can find it. Don't fall in love with a shoe just because it's pretty in a window.
Painfully obvious. There are some sandals I can just look at and know after a few minutes of walking around in them, I'll be looking for a spare set of flip flops to change into. Are you willing to suffer for a few minutes of fashion? You need a cute, versatile shoe that will like your feet. Don't buy a strappy 3-inch heel that will eventually be the reason everyone knows what color underwear you decided to wear today. Trust me on this one.
Uncover hidden gems. If buying gently used, second hand shoes doesn't weird you out, I strongly recommend Goodwill, thrift shops and consignment stores. All of the shoes in my closet are from , Rugged Wearhouse or Ross. Sometimes you can catch good deals at or even department stores, but always check the others first. You'll pay half the typical store cost—if that. A lot of times, people will wear a pair of shoes once because they got them on sale and never wore them. Wedges, sandals with a short heel and traditional flip flops will get you through the summer heat with comfort, ease and style.
Finding a perfect summer sandal is all about looking at what best fits your lifestyle, wardrobe and personality. Always remember that the shoe really does make the outfit.
Now get out there and make me proud, ladies! I better not see those hot pink shoes with blue racing stripes walk past me...

Nearly 6,000 donations have been made to smash Rob's original target of £1,700.
The family of a man who died after running the London Marathon said they are "overwhelmed" by the donations that have been made in his honour.
In a statement issued by organisers of the marathon, Robert Berry's family said they were overwhelmed by the heartfelt messages and contributions to the National Osteoporosis Society, adding:
We are devastated and shocked by the events of Sunday and cannot believe that he is no longer with us to share in our lives and laughter.
He will be greatly missed by his family, friends and work colleagues – a fun-loving and caring person, respected, loyal and very much loved by us all.
He was a loving husband to Gwen and an amazing father to his two children and will remain forever in their hearts.
Rob was a loyal and loving son to Alan and Ann and a fantastic, caring brother to his younger sister Janet who always looked up to him.
Rob will be a great loss to our family.
An experienced runner from Newbury sadly collapsed and died after completing Sunday's London marathon. Robert Berry has since raised more than £50,000 on his Just Giving page for an osteoporosis charity, in tribute to his mum. Mel Bloor has this report.

Crinkle is a half Sharpei and half Terrier and staff at Newbury's Dog's Trust hope potential owners will embrace the friendly pup.

""He came to us as a stray so we don't know much about his history but he is a friendly boy who loves to lap up all the fuss from staff and visitors alike."
More than £23,000 has been donated to the National Osteoporosis Society in the name of Rob Berry, who died after completing this year's London Marathon.
The 42-year-old collapsed and later died after crossing the finish line at Sunday's race.

Women's golf last in NEC
The Quinnipiac women's golf team competed in its first Northeast Conference Championships on Saturday in Daytona Beach, Fla.
The Bobcats finished in last place of the 11 competing teams with a final score of 1,235 (+371).
Senior Brianne Tansey was the top performer for the Bobcats, finishing in 45th place and shooting a total of 278 (+62) in the three day tournament.
Fairleigh Dickinson took home the team title, shooting 941 (+77) overall, while Anna Palsson of Long Island was the top individual, shooting a 225 (+9).
Quinnipiac showed potential for the future with freshman Jennifer Forlenza finishing close to Tansey with a 284 (+68) score.
The freshman also had the best round of the entire season for the Bobcats on the final day when she shot an 89. Junior Amanda Nagel trailed behind Forlenza with a total score of 296 (+80).
Farleigh Dickinson continued their NEC domination by slating their fourth straight championship. FDU had the lowest total each round on their way to the team victory.
Palsson was the best overall golfer in the Daytona Beach tournament. The Long Island star finished with a total of 225 strokes which was good for a score of +9.
The Bobcats will look to improve on their results next season as they graduate just one senior.
Nagel will lead the charge along with rising senior Stacey Kmill. Along with the seniors they will have one junior and four sophomores.

The Missouri Department of Agriculture has once again awarded a Missouri gardener with a $500 gift card for their participation in the 10,000 Garden Challenge. Holly Eisenbruan of St. Louis, Mo. received the eighth $500 Tractor Supply Company gift card through their participation in the effort to get 10,000 gardens growing throughout the state.
"The 10,000 Garden Challenge is doing an outstanding job highlighting the efforts of Missourians to provide fresh, nutritious food for themselves and their neighbors," said Gov. Jay Nixon. "The First Lady and I continue to see the momentum build with more gardeners getting on board to grow local produce, give a boost to the economy and support Missouri agriculture."
Eisenbruan is one of two garden leaders at the Maple Place Community Garden, where she maintains two plots and donates the produce to people in the community who might not otherwise have regular access to produce or be able to garden themselves.
Her involvement in the community garden is about forming relationships and deepening existing ones with members of her community, she said. "The most rewarding part for me is delivering the produce I have grown."
In the spirit of the community garden, she plans to work with the group to decide how to best use her $500 prize from their participation in the 10,000 Garden Challenge to benefit everyone involved in the garden.
The Maple Place Community Garden began two years ago, with Eisenbruan's help, through a grant from Gateway Greening. The community garden is home to 16 plots cared for by individuals and families, as well as ornamental plantings cared for by the group.
"The 10,000 Garden Challenge encourages Missourians to get their hands in the dirt and to connect with agriculture, local foods, the outdoors and healthy eating," said Director of Agriculture Dr. Jon Hagler. "Holly and the entire team at the Maple Place Community Garden are a great example of the benefits of Missourians connecting with their neighbors and agriculture through their food."
The 10,000 Garden Challenge kicked off this spring in St. Louis with an announcement by Gov. Jay Nixon, First Lady Georganne Nixon and Dr. Jon Hagler encouraging Missourians to connect to agriculture by growing fresh produce, native plants and ornamental flowers in their backyards and communities. Since that time, over 8,000 Missouri gardeners have registered their plots in the 10,000 Garden Challenge. After every 1,000th garden is registered, a drawing is held for a $500 gift certificate from Tractor Supply Company.

Human immunodeficiency virus-type 1 (HIV-1) entry requires fusion cofactors on the CD4+ target cell. Fusin, a heterotrimeric GTP-binding protein (G protein)-coupled receptor, serves as a cofactor for T cell line-tropic isolates. The chemokines RANTES, MIP-1alpha, and MIP-1beta, which suppress infection by macrophage-tropic isolates, selectively inhibited cell fusion mediated by the corresponding envelope glycoproteins (Envs). Recombinant CC CKR5, a G protein-coupled receptor for these chemokines, rendered CD4-expressing nonhuman cells fusion-competent preferentially with macrophage-tropic Envs. CC CKR5 messenger RNA was detected selectively in cell types susceptible to macrophage-tropic isolates. CC CKR5 is thus a fusion cofactor for macrophage-tropic HIV-1 strains.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Meika My 7yr old son is my tech support! Love this TV! I was aiming for Samsung at first, but my son noticed the glare & difference in both TV's. When I asked the store associate, he confirmed the difference!! The Samsung was a couple of inches bigger, but it doesn't matter about the size, it's the quality! Not only that, my son likes to play his video games, I had to show him how to use the input button on the remote, it has options for AV, TV, etc., this TV is easy enough that a 7yr old can notice the diff in quality & can maneuver this TV features!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Bob Everything is working good,so far. I think all these products work good at first. Let's see what happens when it is 10 yrs. old. My TV is working great, couldn't ask for better. The only thing I don't like is the way it changes the screen size for HD, I didn't buy it to have the screen go small. August 16, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Happy mama Love it!! Our old TV was this cheap-I magnovox 30 inch that I hated!!! It has the worst sound quality and the picture was less than stellar. After buying a new entertainment center and my old TV looking so pathetic inside of it, we decided it was time to finally upgrade! The picture on this television is beautiful and the sound is great! Plus now we can play video games from our couch instead of having to sit 2 inches from the screen to try to see what we were doing. I am obsessed with this TV! And now that my toddler is more interested in watching her cartoons she loves it too. I am especially happy about the hole in the bottom of the stand for the TV if you don't wall mount, so you can secure the TV to the entertainment center. No worrying about the TV falling on top of my curious climbing toddler. Great investment. Highly recommend. August 12, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by JackF I think LG TVs are the best on the market. This is my second LG TV. My wife and I are rabid football fans and we had to have a 55 in. TV for the up-coming season. We are thrilled with our 55. August 7, 2014

10 websites to keep you occupied at work
From social networking forums to gaming sites, there are various websites on the internet to distract ourselves from work. But research shows that a little distraction makes us more productive.
April 27, 2009 2:14 by Aarti Nagraj
6. Blogs
Those in the media (and possibly others as well) will be familiar with blogs like Dubai Media Observer, where gossip about the industry abounds, and where anonymous commentators gripe about their companies and each other. Those in the advertising industry read AdNation, which publishes rumors about the ad world. Conclusion: Juicy gossip is attractive.
7. News
News sites are not necessarily 'inappropriate' to read, but they can be distracting, especially if you are addicted to a site like the UK-based Daily Mail, where celebrity scandals and stories of the late Jade Goody vie for your attention.
8. E-mail/ Chatting
Of course we are not talking about office mail. While some people enjoy forwarding e-mails simply because "if they send it to 10 people as soon as they receive it, they will get good luck", others are busy dropping lines to their friends and relatives. Chatting on G-talk, MSN messenger, Yahoo chat are the easiest ways to stop concentrating on work, particularly when you see that your long lost friend is online. In all fairness, you start out by juggling work and chatting, but slowly, the latter usually overpowers the former.
9. Games
Card games, arcade games, crosswords, word games, the list is endless. Yahoo games, games.com and an endless number of other games sites have a lot to offer depending on what you want to play, and most of them are completely free. You can even challenge your co-workers to a game of chess if you are the geeky type.
10. Search engines
Can you truthfully say that you never Googled yourself, your boss or your best friend? Most of the time, your searches will end up with little substance. But as experience has taught us, there are times you can stumble across information about a colleague, like a rape case (for example), that might catch you off guard.
Or you can just read about your own achievements and gloat. And wonder why you are even working.

Octodad: Dadliest Catch Review (PS4)
Big bad T-bone Tony gets all squid-gy with Octodad
Octodad: Dadliest Catch is an inspirational success story from Young Horses. Originally developed as a student based game, it was picked up and developed into a cross-platform indie title. Octodad is a comedy/slapstick-oriented adventure game, where you take on the role of an octopus disguised as a loving husband and dad. The aim of EVERY level is to bumble around a variety of environments completing a checklist of tasks whilst remaining undetected by your family and passers-by, lest they discover your true identity.
The game begins by thrusting you into the wedding of Mr & Mrs O.Pus (I totally made that up), acting as a sort of back-story and tutorial mission wrapped in one. And here we come to the first intriguing part of the game. As a boneless octopus, your movements in the game are fluid and free-flowing. To make Octodad walk, and mimic his lack of coordination, you control two of your limbs by holding R2 or L2 and pushing the analogue sticks in the desired direction. In sequence it mimics walking. This is a unique mechanic and really does help impart the feeling of confusion and coordination, but after about an hour it begins to grate. This mechanic is understandable, it's what sets this game apart from the rest of its competitors. However, as your limbs are fluid and bendy, you can often find yourself tangled within the environment and it can take way too long to get from point A to B. The analogues alone move your limb to pick up almost every item in the environment, half of which are useless and serve no purpose other than to (occasionally) find a different tie for Octodad. Again this mechanic is original and fun but just as irritating as the movement. Having no way to adjust the sensitivity you find yourself picking up so many trivial items and twisting yourself into a variety of poses that would put a Russian gymnast to shame.
But wait! I DID say this game was a comedy slapstick and therefore these shenanigans are an intentional mechanic. Implemented to make you guffaw at the screen every time you get caught on the table leg and fall to the floor or grab your gut when Octodad gropes for the wedding ring in a random box of junk whilst the wife-to-be waits patiently at the altar. Yes, once or twice. Sadly I'm past the age where slipping on banana skin repeatedly for five minutes counts as comedy. The game comes across like it's trying to be funny, and this is where it fails. The jokes in the game are so transparent, and delivered in such a monotone way that they are cringe worthy, not funny.
The aim of the game is to complete a series of given tasks, which you inevitably fumble and stumble through due to your elasticity. Some of these tasks were made into puzzles such as retrieving an item through a broken freezer by manipulating your limbs to fit through the various shelving units. During these tasks the game showed great potential and made the flexi-limb mechanic seem different and useful when mapped to something intuitive like a puzzle, or an actual challenge. Finally! The game's original mechanics had a unique and ingenious purpose that hasn't featured readily in other games. Sadly these were short-lived and afterwards you were sent back to rake through a bin of apples to find the "right" one again. The tasks were a nice idea to show off the mechanics properly as these had taken a lot of time to perfect and some of them were actually fun. However, the fact that they went from this intuitive puzzle element back to mundane tasks like mowing a lawn were a real turn off. Okay, so the game is trying to show everyday tasks from Octodad's perspective, and how they're not so easy as a cephalopod. But I really didn't care, the game relies so heavily on the John Cleese esque comedy walk to sell Octodad that they forget to actually develop the character. Admittedly late into the game you find out his origin but even then that leaves more questions than answers. And yes, the game is tongue in cheek and perhaps I'm overthinking it but if you make me plod through a dozen menial tasks for EVERY level, at least be sure I give a shit about the character and his life first!
The game also employs a line of sight mechanic. If you make too many mistakes during these tasks then your true identity is revealed. At first I really took care, and done the tasks the way the way they were planned. The only problem with this is that, when you fail- nothing happens! Yep, the screen just fills purple and the level reloads, no big reveal, no quips or funny dialogue or anything. So basically, you really don't want to get caught because having to use the stupid walk and grab mechanics to spend ages attempting one task is a pain in the arse.
So I have bashed this game around a bit over what seems like silly things. But the game sells itself as a fun filled slapstick adventure of fun! And it is not, not fun, or funny. The game is definitely an inspiration to all aspiring indie developers that if you have an idea and belief, then run with it, it is possible. The parts of the game that really shine are beautiful; using the limb mechanics within puzzles and that one level with the shark. Hell even the premise of the game is a good one, it's just the way it's delivered that is the let down. The whole game is based on the joke that you're an octopus. Ha ha, Okay, I get the irony and I even chuckled the first few times I fell over and got tangled and struggled to get through the wedding chapel. But you know, after forty five minutes of the same task wrapped in a different skin, I really lost love for this nice-in-parts little game.
Octodad: Dadliest Catch is a good time filler, to put on whist you have a spare fifteen twenty minutes. But I wouldn't recommend paying the full asking price for something thats gimmick wears off pretty fast and leaves you longing for "those good parts".
