Super bug = Human Extinction???

Super Bug Could Kill Us All

• In July 2014, the UK government commissioned the Review on Antimicrobial Resistance to address the ever-growing concern that super bugs, resistant to current antibiotics, could eventually evolve to the point that our drugs simply don't work.
•  Super bugs, if left unchecked, could kill up to 10 million people per year by 2050, equivalent to one person every three seconds.
• Over-prescription is a major contributing factor to the issue, and the report recommends that the world reduces the use of antibiotics, and tighten restrictions on when they should be prescribed.
• With international cooperation critical to any approach, the report calls on the World Health Assembly, G7, G20, and the UN to deliver the policy proposals recommended in the report and turn them into action.

Dance Dome?!

Dance Dome!

• If you love to dance, but fear that your partner might step on your toes, then a new virtual, computer-controlled dancer might be for you. This virtual dancer may even teach you some new moves when you tango with it. 
• The computer-generated dancer, dubbed virtual artificial intelligence, is the brainchild of researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta.
• Once the human dancer responds to the VAI's moves, the virtual dancer responds again, making an impromptu dance with its deft artificial intelligence.
• The project, called LuminAI, uses Microsoft Kinect devices to capture the person's movements.
•  These dance moves are then projected as a digitally enhanced silhouette on the dome's white, screened walls. 
• Once the dancing starts, a brightly outlined virtual dancer appears next to them on the projection panels, the researchers said.
• A computer dissects the person's moves, and, based on its memory of previous dances, decides the next move for the virtual dancer. 
• So, the more the VAI dances with real people, the better its moves become.
