Stick with Julie and the Phantoms' silly premise before making any judgements. Julie is a teenager who accidentally summons a boy band from the '90s -- The Phantoms. While Julie helps the band achieve their potential, they help her enjoy music and life again after the death of her mother. As music tends to do, the catchy tunes will send you soaring through the joyous, ridiculously entertaining and, of course, romance-filled first season. Ghost jokes are included.


All of the major domestic and foreign governing bodies in medicine have highly-detailed protocols to aid in prevention. Having a specific breakdown of how employees & staff should operate optimizes the chances that hospital infections can be reduce

Camelot is understood to want to regain control of the lottery by overturning the decision in court, rather than recoup its potential losses.
A judge is expected to ultimately decide whether damages are appropriate.

'It's a very bureaucratic organisation. [Former BBC Foreign Editor] John Sergeant used to tell me many years ago, 'Never forget the BBC's a bureaucracy and you can't expect it to have a heart in one sense because it functions as a bureaucracy.' 

As the presenter of the BBC's News at Ten, the 60-year-old is one of the corporation's most recognisable stars and last week anchored its local election coverage, when he was caught on camera having an early-morning bite of a croissant. 

'They are now digging vent holes, so after a period of that ground remaining sterile for 12 to 20 hours the dogs will go through that area and will indicate whether they find something that could be human or animal remains.

Sepsis can cause problems as severe as organ failure. If medical intervention doesn't come early enough, septic shock is the next stage. While figures can vary depending on the source, available data shows that nearly half of all people dealing with septic shock will di

A spokesman for Northamptonshire Police said today: 'On Monday specialist teams began excavating wooded land near Valley Walk, and yesterday, November 18, on day four of the search, they began preparing for the use of specially-trained victim identification dogs alongside hand and mechanical excavations.'

She expressed her concern in a letter to the commission, seen by The Mail on Sunday. Potential damages, which she said would end up being drawn from the fund, could equate to up to a decade's worth of Camelot's profits - the equivalent to the full-term of the next licence.

He told Garvey and Glover: 'I felt that it might be in some way helpful to some people if I opened up about it and say, 'You can do a job and you can be successful, whether it's just reading a bit of autocue or doing whatever it is, that it's possible to do a job, even one that can be quite pressured, or in the public eye, while also dealing with issues like that.' '

Edwards went public with his struggle against depression - which started 20 years ago when he began presenting what was then called the Six O'Clock News - in a Welsh language programme celebrating his career last December.

When a patient acquires a hospital infection, known more formally as a nosocomial infection, it can be a particularly difficult pill to swallow because one would hope that medical facilities are the cleanest places around. Unfortunately, hospitals, nursing homes, and similar facilities can be quite high regarding risk of infectio

This miniseries, based on a true story of rape, deftly navigates its disturbing and tricky subject matter with the help of a remarkable performance from Kaitlyn Dever. She plays Marie, a teenager who's charged with lying about being raped, but of course it's more complicated than that. Toni Collette and Merritt Wever team up as whip-smart detectives who see what others fail to, adding another layer to Unbelievable's delicate, powerfully moving triumph.


The more time someone spends in a hospital, the more expensive it is in the long run. Estimates on the cost of care for hospital-acquired infections are in the billions every year, which is alarming. Moreover, antibiotic treatment is effective but specifically when it's targeted.
The overuse, slot bonus and overly-broad application, of antibiotics has led to greater resistance by bacteria. This resistance means more time in the hospital, another line item in cost of treatment, as well as concerns regarding drug-resistance later in a patient's lif

Camelot reacted with shock to the news in March that control of the lottery has been removed after nearly three decades.
It has held the licence since the launch in 1994. The new operator is backed by Czech billionaire Karel Komarek and also operates lotteries in Austria, Italy, Greece, and Cyprus.

Detective Superintendent Joe Banfield, who is leading the Northamptonshire Police operation, said the team had received information from a number of people since the search work began, including from residents who had visited the site and spoken to officers.
