Human DNA test kits are all the buzz right now, but the newest trend is DNA tests for your pet. But can you trust the results? Meet Potato. He was rescued by his owner Bart Fletjterski. "Potato was advertised as a corgi," Fletjterski says. However, that just didn’t seem right when looking at Potato. Fletjterski says he’s been trying to figure out what kind of dog Potato really is. "The guesses vary from St. Bernard mix to collie mix to Anatolian shepherd,” Fletjterski says. Fletjterski agreed to try DNA tests for pets to find out. In order to ensure accuracy, Potato’s DNA was submitted to three different companies, using their kits. The companies were Embark, Wisdom Panel and DNA My Dog. Potato’s DNA was collected by swabbing, which he was not a fan of. "What's interesting to me is that a lot of those same techniques that would be used for forensics or paternity applications are being moved into this realm of identifying the breed of dog or even identifying individual dogs," says Dr. Andrew Bonham, chair of chemistry at MSU Denver, who does a lot of DNA work. It took about a month to get the test results. According to Embark, Potato is primarily Siberian Husky, mixed with some other breeds. Wisdom Panel identified Potato as Siberian Husky, too, along with a few other breeds. Both companies provided similar test results, with some variations in the percentage and types of breed. However, the third test produced results that differed majorly from the other kits. According to DNA My Dog, Potato is not primarily Siberian Husky; he's Samoyed. So, what could cause the major differences? "There's different algorithms that are used to try to understand ancestry and different companies will use different algorithms," explains Adam Boyko, founder and chief science officer at Embark Veterinary. Embark says you can get different results based on the company’s data sets and how they analyze the data. As the data grows, so will the ability to narrow in on your dog's breed. "Over time, you can log back in and you can learn more about your dog than when you first had it," Boyko says. DNA My Dog did not want to go on camera, but they sent a statement, saying in part: "The sample taken had all of the DNA. It just didn't match well with anything."The first sample sent to DNA My Dog got contaminated, but that came as no surprise. The company asked for the sample to be sent in an envelope, while the two other companies provided a sealed container. DNA My Dog was the cheapest of the three tests. It was bucks, compared to Wisdom Panel at and Embark at 9, with a coupon code. As for dog owner Fletjterski, he says he’s happy to finally have a better idea of what Potato is. 2726

Finland has a lot to celebrate.Not only does it have a capital city bursting with gastronomic creativity, the spectacular Northern Lights and Santa Claus's year-round home (plus the reindeer support staff) in Lapland. It's also the happiest country in the world for the second year in a row, according to the latest 328

Former NBA Commissioner David Stern underwent emergency surgery Thursday after a sudden brain hemorrhage, the professional basketball league said in a statement."Our thoughts and prayers are with David and his family," the NBA said.A 911 call about an individual with a "cardiac condition" came in around 2 p.m. Thursday, a New York City Fire Department spokesman told CNN.That individual was taken to St. Luke's Roosevelt Hospital from 9 West 57th Street, the building that houses the Brasserie 8 ? restaurant.A security guard at the building told CNN he and his supervisor were called to the restaurant when Stern fainted.Victor Tossas-Rivera, the security guard, said they called 911 and used a defibrillator on Stern but he appeared unresponsive when first responders arrived. 792

For the second time in three weeks, a Houston-area chemical plant caught fire, sending thick plumes of black smoke into the sky.At least one person was killed Tuesday at the KMCO plant in Crosby, Texas, Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said. Two others were in critical condition and were taken by helicopter to a hospital, fire marshal's office spokeswoman Rachel Moreno said.The fire was put out late in the afternoon, the fire marshal's office said, though firefighters were still having to deal with hot spots.The incident likely started when a transfer line ignited in the area of a tank holding 614

If inventor Reuben Brewer’s prototype goes mainstream, we may all be pulled over by robotic police officers one day.Brewer’s invention called the GoBetween is essentially a robotic arm attached to the front driver’s side of his vehicle—acting as a police cruiser—and would extend forward toward the driver side window of a car that an officer has pulled over. On the other end of the arm is a module complete with audio and visual chat screen so the officer and driver can communicate. “It’s essentially FaceTime on a stick,” Brewer jokes. The device scans for a driver’s license and registration. It can even print out the ticket.“The overarching idea is a robot that goes between the police car and a motorist’s car, so the officer doesn’t physically have to go up to the motorist’s window,” Brewer says.Brewer says he’d seen too many headlines about police stops turning deadly, most notably the death of Minnesota driver Philando Castile in 2016.“For years. it had been story after story on the news about people being shot by police during traffic stops and vice versa,” Brewer says, describing the impetus for the invention. “If you can keep the person out of harm’s way and send a robot, that would be a win.”The robot, of course, wouldn’t be making arrests, but simple traffic violations could be issued, including a printed physical ticket. That would all happen from the module positioned next to the driver’s window.Critics have said this does nothing to solve the fraught relationship between the public and the police, and that this device, if picked up by police departments, would merely be a Band-Aid solution. Brewer wouldn’t disagree.“Every year that you don’t put a Band-Aid on, you’ve got 100 people dead and you’ve got 200,000 people that had physical force or assault used on them,” Brewer says in response. “So, I vote for the Band-Aid now, while other people figure out the solution.”But there is one feature on the GoBetween that’s gotten more chuckles than anything else: the police-style helmet attached to the top of the video chat monitor.“It looks awesome,” Brewer says, laughing. “That’s the only purpose.”Right now, the GoBetween is just a proof-of-concept device, and Brewer is currently working on a second prototype. He hopes that police departments might start picking it up within the next two years. 2349
