Millions of years ago, our ancestors bodies may have waged an epic battle against a virus. Through a sneaky DNA swap, the hosts would have gotten the upper hand, and turned the virus defenses against themselves. Researchers think theyve unearthed the whole ordeal, left like a Dead Sea scroll in our genes. We know very little about ancient and extinct viruses, since they mostly cant form real fossils. But retroviruses, the type of v air max 2 iruses that include HIV, plug their own genetic material into the cells they infect. If a retrovirus infects cells that get passed to offspring, then we can potentially see exactly where and when it was around by looking at ancient and modern DNA. A team of researchers from Rockefeller University did just that, and found what looked like a cunning act of bodily revenge where our extinct hominid cousins used a viruses DNA against itself. So the whole story is very exciting to me with a little bit of bias of course since it was my PhD thesis work , first author Daniel Blanco Melo told Gizmodo in an email.

The New York Times reported Monday that it obtained internal documents and graphs from the White House detailing the covid-19 projections. According to the Times, the projections were created as a part of a report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, while charts based on the CDC data were reportedly created by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The released projections are based on CDC data up until May 1.

Yes, in the wake of both adaptations of Genesis stalwarts Sonic the Hedgehog and Shinobi, the Sega has announced Steve Pi adidas campus shoes nk will direct the film adaptation of the 1991 video game.

If there are two things every stroller lacks, its a $3,000 price tag and the ability to make a child look like an unfortunate castoff from Downton Abbey. Luckily for all of reebok laufschuhe us, however, a company called D.Throne has created an obscenely over-the-top electric car for kids that you can justify as an essential baby accessory, if youre the kind of person who expels money from every orifice. The D.Throne S doesnt actually look like a stroller at all, save for a few recognizable features, like a safety belt and push handle. But if youre looking to spoil your kids so that they grow up with unrealistic feelings of entitlement, you cant do much better than a stroller with leather upholstery, suspension, headlights, and a motor. That, we suppose, helps explain the D.Throne S hefty price tag. Not only can kids drive it around before they even master standing on their own two feet, but adults can too, and at the same time.

When Oregon was granted statehood in 1859, it was the only state in the Union admitted with a constitution that forbade black people from living, working, or owning property there. It was illegal for black people even to move to the state until 1926. Oregons founding is part of the forgotten history of racism in the American west. Waddles Coffee Shop in Portland, Oregon was a popular restaurant in the 1950s for both locals and travelers alike. The drive-in catered to Americas postwar obsession with car culture, allowing people to get coffee and a slice of pie without even leaving their vehicle. But if you happened to be black, the owners of Waddles implored you to keep on driving. The restaurant had a sign outside with a very clear message: White Trade Only 鈥?Please. Its the kind of scene from the 1950s thats so hard for many Americans to imagine happening outside of the Jim Crow South.

The relationship between YouTube and its content creators can best be described as symbiotic: Vloggers rely on the platforms promises of fame and fortune or at least a decent living . In return. YouTube relies on these content creators, for, well, content鈥攈undreds of hours uploaded every minute, netting the company roughly $15 billion in the last year. And not unlike the symbiotic relationships we see in nature, the back-and-forth is seriously weighted in favor of the tech giant, with every update seemingly giving its creators less and less of a cut. The latest example comes courtesy of the new round of updates to the YouTube Measurement Program earlier this week.

Last October, Jane Fonda received the 2019 Stanley Kubrick award for excellence in film, a prestigious honor from the British Academy of Television Film and Arts. Regrettably, the then-81-year-old actress was too busy getting arrested on Capitol Hill to accept the award in person. Thank you, BAFTA! she shouted as police led her away in plastic handcuffs. The civil disobedience was part of Fire Drill Fridays, a weekly rally organized by the actress-turned-activist in partnership with other climate justice organizations. More than 30 other demonstrators also filed into police vans that day, one of whom was Lynne Iser, roughly 10 years Fondas junior. Iser got her own pair of handcuffs and rode to jail with Fonda and a few other arrestees.

With each passing year, human-caused global warming bullies California for more water. Each year, the heat squeezes more moisture from soils and ecosystems. This is because, as the atmosphere warms, its demand for moisture rises. Just as a puddle evaporates more quickly on a warm day, soils dry out more quickly during warmer years, which are becoming increasingly frequent in most locations globally. Currently, California is in the grips of a severe drought, which motivated my colleagues and me to conduct a study to determine how much of this drought can be blamed on natural climate variability. And how much can be blamed on the global warming shakedown Our answer is 8%-27%.
