A young Black scientist discovered a pivotal leprosy treatment in the 1920s − but an older colleague took the credit Original
The island of Molokai, where the Ball Method successfully treated leprosy sufferers. Albert Pierce Taylor Hansen’s disease, also called leprosy, is treatable today – and that’s partly thanks to a curious tree and the work of a pioneering young scientist in the 1920s. Centuries prior to her discovery, sufferers had no remedy for leprosy’s debilitating symptoms or its social stigma. This young scientist, Alice Ball, laid fundamental groundwork for the first effective leprosy treatment globally.

Resolve Security Issues Faster with AI Remediation
Remediation is a core outcome of software security programs, but the processes for remediation can often cause friction. One fundamental reason for this is that those responsible for fixing Findings (developers) and those responsible for discovering and prioritizing Findings (security teams) are different teams.

The Hedonic Treadmill and How You Can Jump Off
As you set work goals, be mindful of how your happiness works. Are you setting a succession of hedonic milestones that never fully deliver on their promise? Or are you defining your success by goals that can deliver a lasting impact? The other part of the work-life puzzle though is to recognize that pursuing happiness isn’t frivolous or wrong.
Cardinal Zen convicted: when will Rome speak up for him?
On Friday Cardinal Joseph Zen was found guilty of failing to register a now-disbanded humanitarian fund which paid medical and legal fees for pro-democracy protesters. He was among five people connected with the fund to be convicted. The 90-year-old cardinal was fined HK$4,000 (about £420), the same amount as barrister Margaret Ng, scholar Hui Po-keung, politician Cyd Ho and singer Denise Ho. Sze Ching-wee, the secretary of the fund, was fined a smaller amount.

Disrupting the economics of software testing through AI
EMA (Enterprise Management Associates) recently released a report titled “Disrupting the Economics of Software Testing Through AI.” In this report, author Torsten Volk, managing research director at EMA, discusses the reasons why traditional approaches to software quality cannot scale to meet the needs of modern software delivery. He highlights five key categories of AI and six critical pain points of test automation that AI addresses.
Three Challenges Facing DevSecOps Strategies and How to Solve Them
This article was authored and submitted by Mark Lambert, VP of Products at Parasoft. It was originally published on the company’s blog and available in its entirety HERE. There’s no doubt that DevOps and security are top-of-mind for software organizations, and the result of integrating security into DevOps has been the introduction of the terms SecDevOps and DevSecOps. Although used interchangeably, the order of words is important. Why?
DevSecOps vs SecDevOps: Yes, There is a Difference!
This article was authored and submitted by Mark Lambert, VP of Products at Parasoft. It was originally published on the company’s blog and available in its entirety HERE. The new focus on integrating security into the application development process has resulted in government agencies and their contractors embracing a new method of development that has been called DevSecOps or SecDevOps. And, while these two terms seem similar and are often used interchangeably, there is a difference.
Earth Day: The newest eco warriors are growing your food in America’s heartland
Outside the Box Published: April 22, 2020 at 4:32 p.m. ET By Farmers in Iowa are getting paid to implement conservation practices that capture carbon and reduce fertilizer runoff Getty Images The coronavirus crisis has led to a big drop in greenhouse gas emissions as world economies have ground to a near halt. Some analysts estimate that China’s CO2 emissions, for example, have fallen as much as 25% since the start of the crisis.
Still testing like it’s 1999?
Let’s flash back to New Year’s Eve 1999, when we were popping corks to celebrate the entrance of a new millennium and, as the ball dropped, that Y2K hadn’t descended us into the Dark Ages. All the while we were blissfully unaware that the dot.com bubble was about to burst (even though it was obvious in hindsight!).
What would happen if an asteroid hit earth?
Shutterstock Pop culture throws out some fairly fruit-loopy notions when it comes to space. We get that it's large, cold, and threatening, but that could just as easily describe a giant squid or a prototypical great aunt. Setting our space pop-fear aside, what's the real scoop on asteroids? Here's what astronomers have to say about what would actually happen if a chunk of space rock hit our cozy home planet. First, the reassuring news: we're working on it.
Do spiders sleep?
Shutterstock Spiders aren't the kind of critters you can easily sneak up on, and for the 75 percent of our species who find spiders repugnant or terrifying, it's often this constant watchful alertness they find most disconcerting. Well, that and the myth they'll crawl into your mouth when you're asleep. So that leads us to the slightly weird question: do spiders sleep?
Severity of Weather Challenges Tested Cover Crops This Planting Season
Randy Small ( NCGA ) “Sustainability practices are not a silver bullet. They must be understood in concert with the specific geographies where they are adopted and the goals and needs of the individual farming operations.” Shefali Mehta – Soil Health Partnership Executive Director Before the House Agriculture Subcommittee on Conservation and Forestry.
Cover Crop Benefits Clearer in Drought and Wet Years
TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By AgWeb Guest Editor AgWeb By Mark Lambert - National Corn Growers Association Joe Breker needs his own tee shirt that reads “No Tillage, More Plants” or “Cover Crops Are Good Risk Management.” The North Dakota farmer thinks the tandem of no-till farming and the use of cover crops are key to making farmers more resilient in good times and bad, deluge or drought.

Is it DevSecOps or SecDevOps?
Learn how integrating security into DevOps to deliver "DevSecOps" requires changing mindsets, processes and technology. There's no doubt that DevOps and security are top-of-mind for software organizations, and the result of integrating security into DevOps has been the introduction of the terms SecDevOps and DevSecOps. Although used interchangeably, the order of words is important. Why? Because in most cases, security is still being "tacked on" at the end of the deployment process.
4 Tips for Adopting Test-Driven Development (TDD) in Your Organization
Test-driven development (TDD) is all about writing lean and mean code with a high level of test coverage. Developers write the test for a requirement before writing the code, and the code is considered finished as soon as the test passes. Sounds great, but how do you successfully roll out TDD in your organization? We'll explore this here, and I'll give you some tips to maximize the benefits of adopting TDD. The primary benefit of TDD is that it helps developers create maintainable and testable code.
API Testing Is Great, So Why Isn't Everyone Doing It?
The move to Microservices- and API-driven architectures is driving significant innovation across industries, but has also opened businesses to a hidden layer of risk. The human interfaces (web and mobile UIs) are no longer where the primary business risks lie. Instead, the biggest vulnerabilities are hidden in the non-human interface of the API.

HEV infection not evident in rodents on English pig farms
Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is the cause of hepatitis E in humans, typically an acute self-limiting hepatitis but with known risk groups.1 There is now growing awareness of locally acquired infections in industrialised countries and since 2010 there has been a yearly increase in the detection of autochthonous hepatitis E cases in England and Wales.2 While originally identified in humans, genetically diverse HEV have since been detected in an expanding list of animals.

Change-based testing puts the agile back in agile development
Agile is often mis sold to senior management as a way of achieving quicker time-to-market, when the objective is really more accurate delivery to market. The dirty secret that we don’t tell anyone is that this actually comes at a cost… slower time-to-market! Yes, we are releasing more often (i.e. “sooner”), but it ultimately takes longer to get the complete functionality to market. Why is it taking longer when all we are doing is breaking up the problem into smaller pieces?

The night Tom Petty stopped the music to break up a fight in Ames
Rock legend Tom Petty died this week at age 66. I’ve been a Petty fan since the late 1970s. His passing brought to mind one of his concerts in Iowa, the only time I saw him perform live. On Feb. 19, 1990, three friends and I went to see Petty at Hilton Coliseum in Ames. There are two things I remember well about that concert. PETTY'S DES MOINES CONCERT IN JUNE WAS AN INCREDIBLE SHOW The first thing: Petty noticed two guys in the audience fighting.
Lambert: Retail culture has evolved. We should, too.
This column is part of a series for Progress 2017. We ask the question: "What will Battle Creek look like in 10 years?" Brick and mortar retail will be greatly disrupted in the next 10 years as “location, location, location” is replaced by “supercomputing, big data, and logistics.” This paradigm shift will have huge implications for land use planners and economic developers as they try to lead Battle Creek in response to the change. Retail has typically been about “destination” marketing.
Lambert: Historical Society shares Truth treasures
As we step into 2017 and out of our first century of archiving and presenting our city’s past, the Historical Society of Battle Creek is focused on access! Because history informs the future only when examined, we are pursuing a two-track approach to make our materials more widely available. The first track is one paved with bits and bytes. We have invested in a high-volume book digitizer, which can quickly and easily transform even the most delicate items in our archives into e-books.
Mark Lambert: Tax cuts won’t create jobs
Proposals that promise to create jobs in America by cutting nominal corporate income tax rates are too simplistic and incomplete. Companies today already have the means to create jobs for the middle class. They lack the motivation to do so. Cash held by U.S. companies is at an all-time high. This week, a respected Wall Street financial management firm revealed that the balance of cash in the hands of American corporations was the highest in 10 years, increasing 5.7 percent over last year.
Revisiting the risks associated with health and healthcare reform in England: perspective of Faculty of Public Health members
Background The Health and Social Care Act 2012 (H&SCA) provided for sweeping changes to the health and healthcare system in England. The UK Faculty of Public Health (FPH) considered the risks of the proposed legislation and remains opposed to many of the Act's provisions. Methods Cross-sectional electronic survey of membership, on the severity and likelihood of risks identified in FPH's original risk assessment. Results Combined severity/likelihood scores rated all risks as severe or high.
Mark Lambert: Erv Brinker's achievements merit his pay
There is much that hasn't been said about the history of Calhoun County Community Mental Health. This lack of context has led to an inaccurate picture of the value of its executive director's contributions. Recent news stories have reported extensively on CMH Executive Director Erv Brinker's mid six-figure salary, revealing that it is more than twice as high as the pay of other county mental health directors in Michigan.
