  1. Social media influencer and "Dancing with the Stars" alum Hayes Grier is accused of robbing and beating a man in North Carolina. Grier was charged Monday in North Carolina with robbery, assault causing serious bodily injury and felony conspiracy. The 21-year-old, who has 5.6 million Instagram followers, was arrested Friday and released on bond the next day, according to Mecklenburg County Sheriff's Office records. A Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department report obtained by NBC News said Grier stole a 24-year-old man's iPhone last Monday in Charlotte and beat him, using his hands, feet and teeth. The man, identified as William Markolf, was hospitalized at Atrium Health. super slot Grier did not respond to a message seeking comment on Monday. It is unclear if he has a lawyer.
  2. The test began with two opaque buckets. A test subject, a dog (Canis familiaris), was shown food being placed in one of two buckets by one experimenter (human). A second experimenter displaced the food (from one bucket to the other). Finally, a communicator (also human) gave the dog a suggestion for which bucket they should choose to find the food. The test system included an array of different dogs, including Schnauzers, Molossoids, Swiss Mountain dogs and/or Cattledogs. The experiments also included “pointing dogs”, retrievers, and terriers. They found that terriers stood alone in their following of the communicator’s suggestion more often in the truth group than in the false group. The True test was run first. The communicator pointed to the bucket that was empty, and all dog breeds appeared to seek the bucket super slot to which the communicator pointed. The False test is run second, and also has the communicator point to the empty bucket. Most dogs still went to the bucket to which the communicator pointed. The dogs saw the food placed in the bucket in every trial. They always knew (or thought they knew) which bucket had the food. It’s also important to note that after each dog was shown the location of the food in one of two buckets, the food was “sneakily removed” so neither bucket actually contained food when the choice needed to be made. Per the research, “dogs did not seem to notice the removal of the food as they all still made a choice.” In the False test, terriers appeared to be the only dog breed that consistently made the opposite decision of the rest of the breeds. After the first “True” direction resulted in the dog finding an empty bucket, terriers tended to dismiss the directions of the communicator in the subsequent “False” test and pick the other bucket. This does not mean that terriers were the only dog breed able to tell the difference between humans with true and false beliefs. It DOES mean that terriers were the ones who “behaved like human infants and apes tested in previous studies with a similar paradigm.” Once terriers started to stand apart from other breeds in experiments for this project, terriers were compared to border collies. Border collies have been “extensively tested in studies on social cognition” and are “cooperative workers” where terriers are considered “independent workers.” While it’s possible that both breeds are able to detect human deception, terriers (independent workers) were more likely to choose the bucket with the food inside (regardless of command) than border collies (cooperative workers.) It’s hypothesized by the researchers that cooperative workers simply interpret the first bucket point as meaning the communicator wanted to lead the dog to something new or unknown. The independent worker (terrier, here), is suggested to likely feel as though they’ve been misled, resulting in the dismissal of the communicator in the subsequent test. The results are not absolutely conclusive on whether any dog can interpret the true or false intentions of a communicating human. If you have a dog – terrier, border collie or otherwise – it WOULD seem that the dog’s categorization as independent worker or cooperative worker has likely effects on trust. Your terrier is probably going to be quicker to distrust your intentions if you trick them into approaching an empty bucket when they expect that bucket to have food. Your border collie is far more likely to assume you have a good reason to lead them to an empty bucket, regardless of if your intent was to deceive. For more information on this subject, take a peek a the research paper Dogs follow human misleading suggestions more often when the informant has a false belief as published in Proceedings of The Royal Society B (Biological Sciences), Volume 288 Issue 1955. This issue was published on July 28, 2021 and the paper can be found with code DOI:10.1098/rspb.2021.0906 right this minute. This research was authored by Lucrezia Lonardo, Christoph J. Völter, Claus Lamm, and Ludwig Huber.
  3. Researchers have completed blood group analysis for three Neandertals and a single Denisovan. The team that completed the research is from the Anthropologie Bio-Culturelle, Droit, Éthique et Santé research group. Data gathered by the group confirms the hypothesis indicating an African origin, Eurasian dispersal, and interbreeding with early Homo sapiens. Researchers also found evidence of low genetic diversity and possible demographic super slot fragility in the ancestral groups of modern humans. Researchers found that the extinct lineages of the Neandertals and Denisovans were present in Eurasia from 300,000 to 40,000 years ago. While prior sequencing work for 15 Neandertal and Denisovan individuals had been completed, the study of the genes underlying blood groups hadn’t been investigated. Despite the lack of investigation into the blood groups, blood group systems are the first markers used by anthropologists to reconstruct the origins of common populations along with their migrations and interbreeding. The new study examined previously sequenced genomes of one Denisovan and three Neandertal females that lived 100,000 to 40,000 years ago to identify blood groups and investigate what those blood groups could reveal about the evolutionary history of humans. There are 40 known blood group systems, and the team used the seven typically considered for blood transfusion purposes, including the ABO system and Rh. While the findings supported some previous hypotheses, they also offered new data. For example, it was long thought that all Neandertals were type O, but the team found the ancient hominids displayed the full range of ABO variability observed in modern humans. The worker also discovered alleles that support African origins for Neandertals and Denisovans. It was also discovered that Neandertals had a unique Rh allele that is absent in modern humans, with the exception of one Aboriginal Australian and one Papuan. Those individuals could be evidence of interbreeding between Neandertals and modern humans. Researchers also confirmed that there was little genetic diversity in these ancient hominids. They could have been susceptible to hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn due to maternal-fetal Rh incompatibility.
  4. The co-founder of the Ethereum blockchain, Vitalik Buterin, donated roughly $1 billion in a Shiba Inu-themed cryptocurrency to a covid-19 relief fund in India in May 2021. So far, according to Bloomberg, just $20 million or roughly 2% of the original commitment has made it to its donation. Cryptocurrency supporters often talk the crypto market up as being as fast, reliable, and efficient, if not more so, than cash transactions. The slow pace at which Buterin’s donations are actually being used to achieve results in India, however, highlights how regulatory snafus and the difficulty of moving superslot game wealth back out of the crypto market can interfere. And that’s before considering the lengthy vetting process common among charitable funds, which have to balance getting money where it’s needed with ensuring that it doesn’t go to waste. Bloomberg reported on Wednesday that Buterin’s gift of 50 trillion coins of Shiba Inu, one of the many knockoffs of meme cryptocurrency Dogecoin, has encountered numerous obstacles. First, Buterin’s donation plans amounted to 5% of all of the cryptocurrency in circulation—which immediately resulted in a 50% price crash, wiping out half its value. (As CoinTelegraph noted, this did have the unintended side effect of putting a speed bump on rising transaction costs across the Ethereum network.) Sandeep Nailwal, the New Delhi-based entrepreneur behind the recipient India Covid Crypto Relief Fund, told Bloomberg he currently projects the donation to be worth $400 million by the time it’s cashed out. Nailwal added that in order to avoid violating India’s Foreign Contribution Regulation Act, all of the Shiba Inu coins have to be converted to U.S. dollars and then Indian rupees before they can go to any legal use. He told Bloomberg that the process is 80% complete, but that he’s also been cautious with disbursement to ensure the money reaches organizations that are having a real impact on the local level. $20 million more is in the pipeline, Nailwal added, and the $20 million already spent has gone to shoring up food supplies and setting up intensive care units for patients across India. India has been ravaged by the coronavirus pandemic, particularly in dense cities where average citizens often struggled to gain access to basic medical services well before the virus began circulating and engulfed hospitals and clinics with a never-ending deluge of patients. In April, when the highly transmissible delta variant of the virus began hitting its peak in India, tens of thousands fell ill a day, crematories were overwhelmed in cities like New Delhi, and funeral pyres burnt 24/7. The country is now estimated to have surpassed 31.5 million confirmed cases with over 422,000 deaths, though these numbers are widely considered an undercount. Researchers from the U.S.-based Center for Global Development have estimated total excess deaths during the pandemic in India could be in the range of 3.4 million to 4.7 million. Many Indian survivors of the virus have been left trapped with potentially insurmountable medical debt, according to the Associated Press, and just 25% of the population has received at least one dose of a coronavirus vaccine. Nailwal told Bloomberg the fund has “been in preparation for the third wave” of the virus. Despite rising case numbers, many state governments across India have loosened restrictions, with the South China Morning Post reporting that courts and medical associations have been among the sole institutions urging caution against reckless decisions. The Indian government under Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been broadly hostile to cryptocurrency and was reportedly considering legislation to make it a crime to mine, trade, or even hold cryptocurrencies like bitcoin earlier this year. Although a bill was introduced, it went nowhere, and as of June 2021, the central government was still in the process of working out how any potential regulation should work.
