Researcher finds 'stunning' rate of COVID among deer |

Here's what it means for humans
So how'd the deer catch the coronavirus?
We don't know for sure. Marques admits, "Everything is basically speculation at the moment." So let's speculate.
It's possible there was some form of direct deer-human interaction, perhaps through people feeding the animals. Or maybe the deer drank human wastewater or untreated sewage and picked up circulating coronavirus, though Marques finds that possibility unlikely because the virus isn't typically stable for long periods of time outside the body and because typical wastewater treatment would destroy viral particles. Or perhaps the coronavirus passed through one of the known intermediate animal host species, such as a mink, feral cat or deer mouse.
Are there any possible long-term consequences of the coronavirus in deer?
If history is any guide, the answer is yes. "I can't think of a single zoonotic disease that has established in an animal reservoir in the wild that we have been successful at eradicating," says Barbara Han, a disease ecologist at the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies. She wasn't involved with either of the two studies but says the work is critical for assessing human risk. And she isn't surprised by the results.
In fact, in a separate study, to assess spillover probabilities among 5,400 mammals, Han and her team used machine learning to train an algorithm to recognize the characteristics of species whose ACE2 receptors tightly bind the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The algorithm identified over 500 of these species to be possible suspects, including an array of primates, bats, carnivores (such as red foxes and spotted hyenas) and ungulates (such as deer and gazelles).

<div>Looking around the surroundings. Thought this article might prove helpful.
Â
Thinking too much about what you are doing, because you are worried about losing the lead or worrying about failing in general, can lead to "paralysis by analysis." In a nutshell, paralysis by analysis occurs when people try to control every aspect of what they are doing in an attempt to ensure success. Unfortunately, this increased control can backfire, disrupting what was once a fluid, flawless performance.
Â
Meditation and practice can help
Â
Practice helps people navigate through these tosses on life's ocean. But, more importantly, practicing under stress - even a moderate amount - helps a person feel comfortable when they find themselves standing in the line of fire, Beilock said. The experience of having dealt with stress makes those situations seem like old hat. The goal is to close the gap between practice and performance.

China’s AI attorney claims to prosecute crimes ‘with 97% accuracy’ |

Scientists in China have programmed artificial intelligence to identify crimes and press charges “with 97% accuracy,” they claim.
Researchers developed a tool that can assess cases and suggest criminal sentences based on a verbal description, based on a reported 1,000 “traits” sourced from some 17,000 real-life cases from 2015 to 2020, according to the South China Morning Post.
The lex ex machina has already been tested by China’s largest district prosecution office, the Shanghai Pudong People’s Procuratorate, and proved especially well versed in China’s most common criminal acts, such as gambling, reckless driving, theft and fraud. They hope it will soon come to recognize more complex cases.

Shell Buys Russian Oil at Bargain Price |

As Western oil-and-gas companies this week raced to distance themselves from Russia in the wake of the invasion of Ukraine, #Shell said this week it would exit its joint ventures with Russian energy giant Gazprom PJSC. A person familiar with the company’s trading strategy said Shell was still buying Russian #oil to plug into refiners and petrochemical plants while it looked for alternative sources.
The U.S. and its allies left energy out of the sanctions imposed on #Moscow in response to the invasion. However, refiners went further, shunning Russian crude as they struggled to get funding and ships to export Russian oil.
