by Frank Bergman, Slay News: A group of scientists is raising the alarm after a disturbing new study revealed a huge surge in deaths among young people suffering from neurological diseases. The researchers found evidence of a dramatic spike in neurological deaths among people aged 15-44 that started in 2021 and continued surging through 2023. […]

Dogs are skilled at so many things — sharing, unfortunately, is not one of their strong suits. This is something that most dog owners recognize, but for those with two or more pets, this is something their four-legged friends remind them of daily. Still, watching two adorable dogs playfully fight over a toy can be fun as long as no one is getting hurt. Luckily, when two golden retrievers are battling it out over a toy, or a stick, there’s little to no need to fear. Okay, so every dog is different. But for the most part, it seems that golden retrievers are not ones to fight, even when they want a toy really bad. But just because they don’t want to fight doesn’t mean they’re going to give up easily. As a result, you can often find two golden retrievers in what has to be the most polite game of tug ever. See what I mean in the video below! View this post on Instagram A post shared by Brianne Manuel (@thecrazydoggirl) Although one of these pups can’t help but snarl a bit, for the most part, they’re both so calm. It’s like they don’t want to be rude but, at the same time, they don’t mind making it clear they’re unhappy. “Oh my gosh, I thought this was a photo for a quick second,” someone admits in the comments, with another adding, “Almost like a Canadian standoff!” Adorable Golden Retrievers Politely “Fight” Over a Stick These two adorable dogs aren’t the only golden retrievers who fight in this odd way. In fact, there are lots of videos online of determined pups just like them! @bleuu_bear legend has it theyre still there wagging their tail #fyp #goldenretriever #dogsofttiktok #LinkBudsNeverOff #pawlidaypics #pawpatrol #dogsvideo #dogs ♬ Love You So – The King Khan & BBQ Show As shown in the video above, not all golden retriever fights are the same. While some may snarl, others will still hold paws as they politely hint for the other one to let go. My favorite part, though, has to be the fact that their tails are still wagging! Truly, what did we do to deserve golden retrievers!? You can find the source of this story’s featured image here!

The common image of Bigfoot is that of a shy, elusive creature, a gentle giant more afraid of and wary of us than we are of it. While there are numerous reports of wood knocking, howls, and other intimidating behavior, cases of Bigfoot attacks on people are extremely rare, and it is easy to assume that if they exist they are mostly reclusive and shy. Yet there have been some odd cases throughout the years that show that this might not always be the case, and here we will look at a selection of mysterious deaths and disappearances that, for one reason or another, have been linked to Bigfoot. 

The atmosphere of Jupiter is a fascinating, ever-changing environment. Bands of different colors, storms, enormous clouds, and more are seen across the planet. Its upper atmosphere, though, has always been considered uneventful. Sure it is where the polar aurorae happen, but beyond that, it was believed that it had nothing weird going on. Now, a group of astronomers have turned that belief on its head.The upper atmosphere is difficult to study. At the poles, particles from the volcanic moon Io follow the magnetic field lines to create aurorae in multiple wavelengths. Around the rest of the planet, the energy that shapes it is sunlight. And Jupiter only receives about 4 percent of the sunlight that Earth gets. That’s why astronomers assumed that it was going to be very uniform.“We thought this region, perhaps naively, would be really boring,” team leader Henrik Melin, of the University of Leicester in the United Kingdom, said in a statement. “It is in fact just as interesting as the northern lights, if not more so. Jupiter never ceases to surprise.”Observations by JWST have revealed intricate structures above the iconic Great Red Spot, a storm that is wider than Earth. They found dark arcs and bright spots that are visible in infrared. The source of this variation is not sunlight, but the deeper messy layers of the Jovian atmosphere.“One way in which you can change this structure is by gravity waves – similar to waves crashing on a beach, creating ripples in the sand,” explained Melin. “These waves are generated deep in the turbulent lower atmosphere, all around the Great Red Spot, and they can travel up in altitude, changing the structure and emissions of the upper atmosphere.”Such gravity waves are also present on Earth but, if the mechanism at play is the same, they are a lot weaker. The discovery was a long time coming. These observations were part of the Early Release Science program (ERS) for JWST as astronomers have been curious about Jupiter’s upper atmosphere for a while.“This ERS proposal was written back in 2017,” shared team member Imke de Pater of the University of California, Berkeley. “One of our objectives had been to investigate why the temperature above the Great Red Spot appeared to be high, as at the time recent observations with the NASA Infrared Telescope Facility had revealed. However, our new data showed very different results.”The team hopes to follow up the observations with JWST to better understand this portion of the Jovian Atmosphere. It will also help with planned observations for the European Space Agency’s JUICE mission, which will explore the planet and its three icy moons. These results are published in Nature Astronomy.

In the shadow of Mount Fuji, a new city is being built by Japanese car maker Toyota called “Woven City.” It’s been described as a “living laboratory” designed to investigate how urban inhabitants can live in tandem with autonomous vehicles, robots, clean energy, and artificial intelligence (AI).So-called smart cities, often surrounded by starry-eyed hype and savvy PR, have a fairly bad track record of ever getting off the ground. However, it appears that Woven City is actually going somewhere (well, that’s according to their savvy PR). Construction started in early 2021 and is set to finish in summer 2024. By 2025, the city hopes to soft launch and begin its "demonstration trials". These demos will include experiments involving next-generation remote communication technologies and “smart logistics” involving smartphone apps linked to delivery robots.Inside the city's homes, robotics and sensor-based AI plan to be used for everyday tasks like automatically restocking the fridge and taking out the trash. Another concept design showing a street of Woven City.Image credit: Toyota Woven CityToyota explains that the city will initially be home to around 360 people, mainly senior citizens and families, but plans to gradually expand its population to around 2,000. The residents will include employees of the company such as technicians and researchers, who will observe the settlement and develop technologies such as AI in a real-world environment.All of this will occur against the backdrop of an urban environment built by robots, inspired by the natural world and traditional Japanese woodwork. To aid the city’s design, the company has also employed the help of famous Norwegian architect Bjarke Ingels."Building a complete city from the ground up, even on a small scale like this, is a unique opportunity to develop future technologies, including a digital operating system for the city's infrastructure,” Akio Toyoda, chairman of the Toyota Motor Corporation and the company's former president and CEO, said in a statement in 2020.This is how Toyota hope Woven City will look when it's completed, apparently in 2025.Image credit: Toyota Woven City“With people, buildings and vehicles all connected and communicating with each other through data and sensors, we will be able to test connected AI technology... in both the virtual and the physical realms... maximizing its potential," he added.Akio Toyoda is a great-grandson of Sakichi Toyoda, the so-called "King of Japanese Inventors" who founded Toyota Industries in 1926 as a manufacturer of automatic looms. Although the company has since expanded beyond loom-making, the name “Woven City” appears to be a reference to this legacy. “If you didn't know, Toyota actually began as a loom manufacturer. We didn't start by building cars. We began by weaving fabric. Now, we hope to use our technology to weave together a new kind of city and a new way of enjoying life,” Akio Toyoda said at a press conference.
