You’ve likely seen a dog jump over a fence‚ but have you ever seen one just… hang out up there? One pooch is confusing their owner by leaping up onto the top of the fence‚ standing there for a moment‚ and hopping back down into the yard. There’s also a little climbing involved — something dogs aren’t necessarily known for. We’re not sure if the pup is doing this to get a look at the neighbor’s lawn or just for fun‚ but either way it’s pretty entertaining! A video of this canine’s bizarre pastime has been going viral on social media. In the clip‚ the dog’s owner seems puzzled‚ but not surprised. Clearly‚ the pup has done this a few times before! Fence Can't Contain This Jumping Dog pic.twitter.com/iKrtME4UlX— Epoch Inspired (@EpochInspired) January 11‚ 2024 What’s especially interesting about the footage is how dextrous the animal seems to be. Not only is the dog able to jump very high‚ but they’re also able to scramble up the wall a little bit in order to reach the top of the fence. What a talented pooch! While we don’t see dogs doing a lot of climbing‚ it’s not totally unheard of. In fact‚ there are even some cases of dogs climbing trees to retrieve toys or catch squirrels‚ according to Treehugger. Screengrab from X We’re wondering what else this unusually acrobatic pooch could learn to do! After all‚ dogs have been known to perform some pretty amazing tricks — just ask “America’s Got Talent” winners Adrian Stoica and Hurricane!

When we go through some of the toughest moments in life‚ having those we care about by our side can mean the world. These folks are often those we call family or a significant other‚ but they can also be our pets. After months of health issues‚ Jasmine found herself in the hospital for weeks. Seeing how tough life has been for her lately‚ a much needed and joyful dog reunion was arranged. Jasmine‚ who is 21 years old‚ was born with a genetic mutation. She’s been diagnosed with numerous conditions including gastroparesis‚ heart failure‚ and intestinal dysmotility. Still‚ she manages to pursue a degree in nursing school and works part time. TikTok Then‚ in May 2023‚ Jasmine’s health declined rapidly. Eventually‚ she was put on ECMO — this removes blood from the body and runs it through the machine before returning the now oxygenated blood back to the body. According to a GoFundMe to help her family‚ this is the maximum form of life support. Thankfully‚ Jasmine defied all odds and survived. Unfortunately‚ though‚ this experience left doctors with no choice: Her lower legs and her hands/part of her arm had to be amputated due to necrosis. Joyful Dog Reunion Cheers Up 21-Year-Old Quad Amputee @hakulai The main reason I continued to fight. She was so gentle around me when I was sick #dogtok #puppylove #quadamputee ♬ sonido original – J Gabriel C Gamarra Becoming a quad amputee hasn’t been easy. But getting the chance to be reunited with her beloved dog has meant the world to Jasmine. As soon as Jasmine and her dog are in the same room‚ it’s clear just how much they’ve missed one another. Her dog whimpers as she takes her place on Mom’s lap‚ a place she’s no doubt missed for far too long. TikTok “The main reason I continued to fight‚” Jasmine shares. “She was so gentle around me when I was sick.” Now that Jasmine has reunited with her dog‚ Jasmine will need time to adjust to life with prosthetics‚ but she still hopes to one day pursue a career in nursing. Thankfully‚ with her sweet dog and other loved ones by her side‚ she won’t be on this journey alone. You can find the source of this story’s featured image here!

These days‚ Alex Grossi is known as the lead guitarist of heavy metal titans Quiet Riot‚ following a long line of great players like Randy Rhoads‚ Greg Leon‚ Carlos Cavazo‚ and Neil Citron. Carrying on the legacy of the group that spawned Metal Health is important to Grossi. And despite what detractors say‚ the current version of Quiet Riot‚ featuring Grossi (guitars)‚ Rudy Sarzo (bass)‚ Jizzy Pearl (drums)‚ and Johnny Kelly (drums)‚ rocks as hard and heavy as any previous lineup. Quiet Riot aside‚ Grossi is a slick‚ smooth‚ and heavy player‚ who has made waves with the likes of The post Alex Grossi of Quiet Riot Interview: 10 Albums That Changed My Life appeared first on ClassicRockHistory.com.

People put a lot of trust in their mobile phones; we use them to make payments‚ do work‚ and jot down last night’s weird dreams (thank you Notes app). But unfortunately‚ they can also be used to target us‚ and a new study from MIT researchers has revealed how hackers could take advantage of a phone’s light sensor to track and reconstruct our activity.Ambient light sensors are used by phones to detect surrounding light levels and adjust brightness accordingly‚ if it’s on an auto-adjust setting. Whilst other phone features require user permission for apps to access them‚ such as the camera or microphone‚ light sensors typically don’t. It’s this that researchers believe could be exploited.Led by Yang Liu‚ the team at MIT developed an algorithm that’s capable of using variations captured by the light sensor to reconstruct images of a person’s touch interactions with their phone‚ such as scrolling or swiping.They tested the algorithm out on an off-the-shelf Android tablet in multiple scenarios‚ including sitting a dummy in front of the screen and using either a mannequin‚ cardboard cutout or human hand to touch it‚ as well as seeing if it could pick up on gestures whilst watching videos. In all circumstances‚ the results revealed that light sensor data could be used to pick up on interactions with the screen and create images of them.Pixelated images reconstructed from gestures on an Android tablet.Image credit: Yang Liu et al.‚ Science Advances 2023 (CC BY-NC 4.0)“This imaging privacy threat has never been demonstrated before‚” said Liu in a statement.If that sounds a tad worrying‚ you’ll be pleased to know that such a threat is far from imminent. The rate at which images could be retrieved in the study was only one frame every 3.3 minutes – that’s slow enough that whoever was trying to get the images would struggle to keep up with your phone interactions in real-time. And even if they do get images‚ if retrieved from a natural video‚ the pictures can be pretty blurry.Nevertheless‚ the researchers came up with some ways that could help to mitigate some of the potential risks. The main target is software; they recommend that access to ambient light sensors should be restricted‚ with users having to give permission in the same way as done with camera or microphone requests.They also suggest putting a cap on the sensors’ capabilities‚ keeping the precision and speed low enough to prevent high-resolution images‚ and also placing the sensor on the side of the device where it can’t detect the most revealing gestures.And if you also happen to be concerned that you’re phone is listening to you‚ don’t be – it isn’t. If anything‚ you should probably think about giving it a decent clean.The study is published in Science Advances.

How will the world change over the next 1‚000 years? Unless you happen to hold the keys to time travel or immortality‚ it’s a question that none of us will live to know the answer to. But in Tuscon‚ Arizona‚ an experimental philosopher has created the Millennium Camera‚ a device that hopes to capture it all.The idea of taking an image over the course of 1‚000 years was thought up by University of Arizona research associate Jonathon Keats. His design is relatively simple for a camera; it consists of a pin-sized hole in a thin sheet of 24-karat gold‚ through which light can hit a small copper cylinder that sits atop a steel pole.Inside is a light-sensitive surface coated in thin layers of the oil paint pigment rose madder‚ which will fade with the light‚ though whether this will happen at the correct rate is something of an educated guess.With the help of researchers from the Desert Laboratory on Tumamoc Hill‚ the camera was installed next to a bench overlooking the Star Pass neighborhood in Tuscon. There‚ visitors are encouraged to sit and think about the future.However‚ even with a carefully designed camera‚ there’s no guarantee that anyone in the future will get to see the image it could theoretically produce."One thousand years is a long time and there are so many reasons why this might not work‚" Keats said in a statement. "The camera might not even be around in a millennium. There are forces of nature and decisions people make‚ whether administrative or criminal‚ that could result in the camera not lasting."The camera overlooks the distant hills in Tuscon‚ Arizona.Image credit: Christopher Richards‚ University of Arizona CommunicationsBut if it does happen to survive‚ Keats has some ideas about what it might show. Whilst the landscape features like hills will most likely appear mostly sharply‚ there will be a blur to features that change more easily‚ like buildings.It’s also important that the camera isn’t opened before the 1‚000 goal: "If we open in the interim‚ then it diminishes the imagining that we need to be doing.”Keats hopes that the camera will encourage people to reflect on how best to plan for the future‚ taking into account the growth of populations and with it‚ our relationship with the natural environment."Most people have a pretty bleak outlook on what lies ahead‚" said Keats. "It's easy to imagine that people in 1‚000 years could see a version of Tucson that is far worse than what we see today‚ but the fact that we can imagine it is not a bad thing. It's actually a good thing‚ because if we can imagine that‚ then we can also imagine what else might happen‚ and therefore it might motivate us to take action to shape our future."Keats is planning on installing further cameras in Chongqing‚ China‚ Griffith Park in Los Angeles‚ and the Austrian Alps. "This project depends on doing this in many places all over the world‚" he said. "I hope this leads to a planetary process of reimagining planet Earth for future generations."
