ATM card cloning gang busted - United News of India

Shankar Singh, New Delhi

The gang that cloned ATM cards and broke into accounts has been busted. ATM card cloning machines, several ATM cards and blank cards have also been recovered from them. The two hands of the gang are caught by the police. He is identified as Ramesh (29) and Sonu Kumar (22) living in Sultanpuri. The crime branch nabbed both of them in front of RC Nagar in Prem Nagar just before withdrawing money at the ATM with a cloned card. The crime branch is interrogating them and collecting information about the entire mess and other members involved in the gang.

Crime Branchs Special Investigation Unit (SIU) Daryaganj came to know about the ATM cloning gang. The gang is active in several areas of Delhi including Sultanpuri, Prem Nagar, Nangloi. The gang claimed to have an ATM card cloning machine and several cloned cards. A team was formed and sent to RC Mall on Monday night. At around 11 pm, two youths came by a bike. Both started moving towards ATMs within the mall. The Crime Branch team caught both.

Each bank has different rules regarding ATM withdrawal. Nevertheless, if you look at the rules of ATM withdrawal of State Bank of India, 8 free cash withdrawals are allowed in metro cities. In this, 5 transactions can be done from SBI ATM, while 3 transactions can be done from any other banks ATM. After the transaction, the customer has to pay extra charge on the transaction.

If we talk about non-metro cities, then this limit is 10 there. That is, 5 times you can withdraw money from the State Bank of India ATM, while 5 times you can withdraw money from the ATM of another bank. If you make a transaction beyond the limit, then you have to pay GST with a charge of 20 rupees in case of withdrawing money, whereas if you just check the balance or do any other transaction other than withdrawing money, then you have to give 8 rupees and GST. Will happen.

Along with this, Nirmala Sitharaman gave relief from keeping the minimum balance. For 3 months, no bank could charge a penalty from the customer if there was no minimum balance. Now its term is ending on June 30 and the penalty will be recovered from the customers in case of no minimum balance from July 1.

After searching, there were 9 ATM cards and 12 blank cards with a magnetic strip on Sonus pocket, which were exactly the size of the ATM card. Bank of Maharashtras ATM card and a magnetic card reader were found in Rameshs pocket. It was written in America designed. During interrogation, Ramesh said that both of them had come to withdraw money from ATMs of Bank of Maharashtra. Magnetic cards were used for ATM card cloning.

The police confirmed the money removed

The police, after asking the PIN of the card of Bank of Maharashtra, took out the first mini statement from the ATM of Union Bank located in Ansari Road. The number of the slip that came from it and the number from which the card was withdrawn was different. This cleared the matter of cloning. Rs 500 was withdrawn to locate the owner. When information was obtained from the bank, it was found from there that ICICI Banks card has been cloned in the Bank of Maharashtra card. This account turned out to be Ankit Goyal living in Trinagar.

Karstani used to do at ATM

When the police called Ankit Goyal, he came to the Crime Branch office and told that he had gone to the ATM of Milap Cinema in Karmapura on July 19 to withdraw Rs 8000. When the money started counting on the side there, a young man said that he is asking for your mobile number on the ATM screen. When he entered the mobile number, it was not accepted. The boy said that I insert your ATM card and feed your mobile number. He gave it away and after entering the mobile number he took out his card. He went to the ATM twice again, but did not get the money. On being called by the police, they came to know that their card was cloned.

Global Voice Cloning Market 2025 Potential Scope for Growth in This Pandamic : IBM, Google, Lyrebird, Nuance Communications, Baidu, etc. - 3rd Watch...

Maine tick experts are keeping an eye out for the Asian longhorned tick, a foreign tick species that can reproduce without mating and has been documented as close as Connecticut.

Reported for the first time in the United States in 2017, this tick species has now established populations in at least 12 states, all of which are in the northeastern half of the country.

Its certainly something that is on every tick researchers radar here in the eastern United States, said Griffin Dill, who manages the Tick Lab, located in the new UMaine Cooperative Extension Diagnostic and Research Laboratory in Orono. This species seems to primarily reproduce through parthenogenesis, which makes its ability to increase its population size rapidly an important factor.

Parthenogensis is a form of asexual reproduction in which growth and development of embryos occur without fertilization by sperm. Female Asian longhorned ticks can lay eggs, which will develop and hatch on their own. Because of this, a single female tick can establish a fast-growing population.

The Asian longhorned tick is known to carry and transmit a variety of dangerous diseases in its home range in Asia, but those diseases have yet to be documented in the Asian longhorned tick populations found in the U.S. However, there is a concern that the species could pick up and transmit diseases that already occur in the U.S. in other tick species, such as anaplasmosis, babesiosis and Powassan virus.

There are a couple of pathogens in Asia that they are believed to transmit that are closely related to pathogens we have here, so its possible, said Dill. But from what weve seen so far in other states, [the ticks] risk to humans is thought to be relatively low at the moment. And we havent seen indication that its able to contribute to the transmission of Lyme disease.

In the U.S., East Asia and other areas where this tick has been found, such as New Zealand and Australia, it is considered to be a serious threat to livestock such as cattle and sheep. Major infestations can cause stress on an animal, reducing its growth and production. And in some cases, infestations can kill animals due to blood loss.

From limited studies that have been done on this species, they do seem to prefer feeding on animal hosts as opposed to humans, Dill said.

A new study in the journal Zoonoses and Public Health, published earlier this month, investigates the origin of this tick species and how they are spreading across the country.

Researchers gathered samples of Asian longhorned ticks across the U.S. and internationally, then used gene sequencing to compare various populations. The results indicate that at least three individual ticks from self-cloning populations were somehow transported to the U.S., and this explains why all adult Asian longhorned ticks found in the U.S. so far have been female. With Asian longhorned ticks that reproduce through parthenogenesis, male offspring are rare.

(In Asia, male Asian longhorned ticks do exist in some populations where they participate in reproduction.)

The study also found that these original ticks most likely came from East Asia.

While the first established Asian longhorned tick population in the U.S. was documented in New Jersey in 2017, researchers believe the species had been flying under the radar in the country for several years.

Theres a whole lot we dont know about it, said Chuck Lubelczyk, vector ecologist at Maine Medical Center Research Institute. Right now, the states where its occurring tend to be doing a lot more research on it [than other states], and I think a lot more research is going to be done on it as time goes by. Its a public health issue thats been introduced to the country and we werent really talking about it before it arrived here. We were kind of unprepared for it.

Its believed that the tick species can easily be spread by wildlife, as well as the transportation of livestock and domestic animals, such as dogs.

There are some pretty good regulations in place in terms of livestock transport, Lubelczyk said. But it certainly speaks to people needing to be vigilant about tick control medicines for their dogs and other domestic animals.

In the U.S., Asian longhorned ticks have been collected from deer, dogs, raccoons, cats, opossums and a number of other warm-blooded animals, as well as a variety of birds, according to data collected by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Theyve also been found feeding on people.

Because of the wide geographical range that the species already inhabits, Lubelczyk believes it could survive Maines climate, even the states cold winters.

At least in southern Maine, I dont think itd have a problem, Lubelczyk said. How it would do up in northern Maine? I dont have a guess.

Moving forward, tick experts ask that Maine people be on the lookout for this invasive tick species; however, theyre difficult to identify. Adults are plain brown but can look similar to brown dog ticks and rabbit ticks, both of which live in Maine.

Researchers from the Maine Tick Lab and Maine Medical Center Research Institute are looking for Asian longhorned ticks, as well as the lone star tick (which has been found in Maine, but not yet in breeding populations), when conducting on-the-ground tick surveillance throughout the state.

In addition, they receive information about tick populations in Maine from the public sending tick samples to the Maine Tick Lab in Orono. The lab identifies these tick samples for free, and for an additional fee of $15 will test deer ticks for three common diseases they carry: Lyme disease, babesiosis and anaplasmosis.

Asexual self-cloning ticks that can kill livestock are closing in on Maine - Bangor Daily News

Tribune News Service

Hisar, July 19

The Central Institute for Research on Buffalo (CIRB) has made a significant breakthrough in buffalo cloning by producing seven cloned copies of an elite breeding buffalo bull, M-29, besides re-cloning the calf of an earlier cloned bull, Hisar Gaurav. Officials said all eight cloned calves as well as offspring sired by cloned bulls had normal growth.

Dr SS Dahiya, Director, CIRB, stated that it was a huge success and they aim to develop and propagate high-yielding elite buffalo germplasm across the country. India holds 109 million buffaloes, which accounts for over 56 per cent of the worlds buffalo population. To increase milk productivity of buffalo, the CIRB has been exploiting advanced scientific methods and produced a record 10 cloned elite bulls, he stated.

Dr PS Yadav, head of the cloning project, maintained that they had aimed at producing genetic copies of elite stock. We are working to make stakeholders aware of this technology before wider application. Bulls are selected on the basis of pedigree and progeny record. Cloned bulls can be used to upgrade population of nondescript buffaloes, he said.

Shimla, July 19

Amid reports of cloning of apps similar to those banned by the government, the cyber crime cell of the state police has warned users against downloading any such app as these are malware and fake apps that facilitate hacking.

After a ban on TikTok, messages are pouring that it is now available in India in the name of TikTok Pro. It is a malware and fake app and it is advised that such messages should be ignored and no personal information or bank details be shared without verification, said Additional SP, cyber crime, Narvir Singh Rathore.

A link - http: //tiny.cciTiktokPro- was sent along with the message to download TikTok Pro App, but it was fake and not available in Google Play Store or App Store for downloading, he added.

The cyber cell has also identified some more domain names such as coronavirusstatus.space, coronavirus-map.com, blogcoronacl.canalcero.digital, coronavirus.zone, coronavirus-realtime.com, coronavieus.app and bgvfr.coronavirusaware.xyz functioning in the name of Covid. TNS

Cyber cell warns against downloading cloned apps - The Tribune India

A tip-off led to the arrest of two men suspected of operating a card-cloning operation in Ballito, KwaZulu-Natal.

Vice-chairman of the Ballito neighbourhood watch and community policing forum (CPF), Morne Steffens, said a resident called them who suspected criminal activity at a local guesthouse.

IPSS Electronic Security operations director, Brennon Knott, said a plan was formed with the police to ambush the suspects.

When their vehicle left the guesthouse the next morning, 10July, it was pulled over on Ballito Drive, he said.

The suspects were arrested after a large number of cloned bank cards, identification documents and cellphones were found and seized.

The men were identified as a syndicate which has been cloning credit cards for some time and proved to be quite a catch, he said.

Steffens said the arrests highlighted how important it was for the community to report suspicious activity. He thanked the alert residents, IPSS Electronic Security and Umhlali South African Police Service (SAPS) for their actions.

The South African Banking Risk Information Centre (Sabric) released its annual crime stats for 2019on behalf of the banking industry which revealed that credit card and debit card fraud increased by 20.5% between 2018 and 2019.

Sabric CEO Nischal Mewalall said in a statement: The increase in credit card fraud must be viewed against the growth of the credit card payment ecosystem which has seen a rise in the number of credit card transactions processed by banks, coupled with increases in the number of cardholders and merchants. This would have contributed to more incidents.

66.6% of all fraud on South Africa issued credit cards took place on merchant devices in a foreign country while the counterfeiting of cards decreased by 44.8% for credit cards and by 34.8% for debit cards.

Nosy Ballito resident busts card cloning syndicate - The Citizen

With a UI that closely mirrors TikTok, Chingari is looking to position itself as a direct replacement to the Chinese app

Chingari has adjusted its focus after the TikTok ban to sideline its gaming and news aggregation sections

It claims to be organically adding 1Mn users daily but competition from Instagram Reels, Mitron, Bolo Indya, ShareChat and others is growing by the day

Given the choice between two apps which are exactly the same, but one is made in China and the other one is made in India which one will you choose? Chingari cofounder Sumit Ghosh.

The growing anti-China sentiment in India and the government ban on 59 Chinese apps has brought intense focus on Indian apps and alternatives to Chinese products. On June 29, 2020, around 8 pm, MeitYs released the list of 59 banned Chinese apps including popular short-video platform TikTok.

As Chingaris Ghosh describes the frenzy, Right after the ban announcement, the platform experienced 500K 600K new downloads for the whole next day. The servers started cracking, the backend infra was going crazy, we had to shut a lot of APIs down, Even at the time of our conversation (past week), Ghosh claimed to be witnessing 1 lakh downloads per hour.

Besides Chingari, short-video sharing platforms like Mitron, Bolo Indya, ShareChats Moj, Gaana HotShots and Trell have also reported a steep rise in the number of user traction after the ban. Even Instagram has launched its TikTok-like Reels. So what exactly differentiates Chingari from these platforms?

The difference is that Chingari is the closest to TikTok, in terms of UI and Ghosh claims that Chingari is also looking to solve one gap that none of its competitors have the creator tools that made TikTok popular. Other players think that people will just upload videos from the camera or their gallery, and the videos will go viral. But it is not like that, it is the creation tools that made TikTok what it is today, he said.

Chingari claims to have perfected all TikTok-like creation tools except the AR filters, which are currently under work. Chingaris UI is indeed a close replica of TikTok app to the extent that even the arrangement of buttons and the profile page look like mirror images.

For a company whose unique selling point is that it is an Indian company with TikTok-like features, copying the UI seems like an intended move. And this also allows Chingari to be in a safer position to compete with TikTok if it returns to India.

Clearly, Chingari is betting on the growing nationalist sentiment in the country. But will the platform be able to provide the similar global reach and revenue opportunities that TikTok once offered? And if not, why would an Indian consumer stick to Chingari once the nationalist sentiments die down. SlideShare cofounder Amit Ranjan pointed out recently, tailwinds like nationalist sentiments and the app vacuum wont last forever.

Like any other content platforms that thrive on the passion of creators, the success of Chingari depends on the quality of the content and the variety of creators it attracts. For instance, if there are 1000 creators on the platform, not only will more users join up, but it will also attract more creators to tap the rising user base. Its a cycle of growth that each content platform needs to thrive. And once that happens, it will become difficult for creators to abandon their acquired social following and reach.

To achieve this, Chingari is running a rewards campaign for creators. Every content creator on the platform gets paid depending on how viral their videos get. For every video that one uploads on the Chingari app, you get points (per view) which can be redeemed for money, according to a company statement.

Chingari is also onboarding influencer managers and agencies to onboard more creators on the platform. Till now, the platform has tied up with 200 such agencies and plans to scale these partnerships to 10K after its Series A funding round, which is expected to be announced by the end of July 2020.

Chingari is also working with a few brands that are willing to pay about 20%-30% of what they were paying to TikTok, in return for some influencer marketing on the platform. These brands primarily include fashion and ecommerce companies, noted Ghosh. The company is not focused on monetisation at this point of time, but once the user base is established, Chingari plans to monetise through advertisements like Facebook and Twitter.

Given that there is no monetisation model currently, Ghosh claims that Chingari does not store any sensitive user data at the moment. But once it launches ad-led monetisation, the company will be collecting user data including the age and gender to target them with the right ads. Currently, the login process uses a Google account to onboard users.

Started in 2018, the development of Chingari app was led by cofounder Biswatma Nayak along with Siddharth Gautam and other team members of Globussoft which includes Ghosh. Chingari was incubated at Ghoshs IT consultancy firm Globussoft. Following the growth in user base, it is now being registered as a separate entity and Ghosh will exit Globussoft to join this new entity.

In a recent UI update, Chingari has moved the position of the games sections to a side menu. According to Ghosh, gaming was acting as a friction for new users who are looking for a TikTok replacement and the company does not want to distract them from the core offering which is short-form videos.

Further, the news aggregation section has also been moved to the sidelines. It primarily attracts the audience over the age of 35 who come to the platform and consume news. However, Chingari plans to introduce a one-minute news bulletin video clip instead of the text format in the near future to boost its reach. This is similar to what Dailyhunt and Inshorts offer in terms of news.

Since the ban, Chingaris downloads have jumped to 22 Mn downloads from 3.5 Mn, and it is also seeing 5 Mn daily active users (DAUs) and 124 Mn video views per day. Going forward, Ghosh is aiming to reach 100 Mn users over the next three months. This is based on the companys current growth rate, which is 1 Mn users added per day. At this rate, it will cumulate to 90 Mn in the next three months, but Chingari is hopeful of a boost in the next month or so to get there sooner.

But in an earlier conversation, Chingaris competitor Bolo Indya Founder Varun Saxena told Inc42, The race for Indian video apps is not to acquire users, it is going to be for retaining these users two weeks from now, he added. Chingari claims to have a 10%-12% retention rate currently, and how well it is able to keep the new users around will determine whether it can really turn the spark into a roaring fire.

With inputs from Kritti Bhalla.

Correction Note | 16:25, July 17, 2020

The original version of this article erroneously mentioned that Chingari had to turn down a lot VCs after time of Chinese app ban. We have updated the article to reflect that the company had to shut down a lot of APIs after the Chinese app ban. We apologise for the mistake.

COVID-19 Update: Global Voice Cloning Market is Expected to Grow at a Healthy CAGR with top players IBM, Google, Lyrebird, Nuance Communications, etc...

Season four of Rick and Morty concluded in May and finally tied up some major loose ends from season three. When the sci-fi comedy continues on Adult Swim and Netflix, fans may have already figured out the next earth-shattering reveal. Unhinged inventor Rick Sanchez was revealed to have several clones of himself in storage, but his original body could still be trapped somewhere across the dimensions.

Rick Sanchez (played by Justin Roiland) may have permanently damaged his relationship with his daughter, Beth (Sarah Chalke) after the events of Rick and Mortys madcap fourth season.

Episode ten, Star Mort: Rickturn of the Jerri, revealed Rick had cloned his daughter and sent one into space without knowing which was which.

Accepting his failures as a father, Rick is set to begin the upcoming fifth season having reached a new personal low in season four.

Before his epic showdown with Tammy (Cassie Steele), Birdperson (Dan Harmon) and the Galactic Federation, Rick and Mortys dimension-hopping adventure may have provided a hint for whats to come next.

Rick had already experimented with cloning by turning himself into Tiny Rick in season two, but the season four premiere revealed the unhinged inventor keeps several clones lying around in case of emergency.

One fan took to Reddit to suggest the series could eventually reveal a dark twist about Ricks penchant for cloning.

Redditor pranjalol posted: I was watching episode 7 of season 2, Big Trouble in Little Sanchez, where Rick transforms himself into a teenager and preserves his actual body in his lab.

The fan continued: So from this incident, I propose a theory that Rick is not in his actual body.

Rick has one catchphrase, Wubba lubba dub dub, which we come to know means I am in great pain, help me!

So it is possible that every time Rick says this he is giving a clue to someone to help himself.

Ricks apparently nonsense catchphrase is eventually revealed by Birdperson as an anguished cry for help.

(BDN) -- Maine tick experts are keeping an eye out for the Asian longhorned tick, a foreign tick species that can reproduce without mating and has been documented as close as Connecticut.

Reported for the first time in the United States in 2017, this tick species has now established populations in at least 12 states, all of which are in the northeastern half of the country.

Its certainly something that is on every tick researchers radar here in the eastern United States, said Griffin Dill, who manages the Tick Lab, located in the new UMaine Cooperative Extension Diagnostic and Research Laboratory in Orono. This species seems to primarily reproduce through parthenogenesis, which makes its ability to increase its population size rapidly an important factor.

Parthenogensis is a form of asexual reproduction in which growth and development of embryos occur without fertilization by sperm. Female Asian longhorned ticks can lay eggs, which will develop and hatch on their own. Because of this, a single female tick can establish a fast-growing population.

The Asian longhorned tick is known to carry and transmit a variety of dangerous diseases in its home range in Asia, but those diseases have yet to be documented in the Asian longhorned tick populations found in the U.S. However, there is a concern that the species could pick up and transmit diseases that already occur in the U.S. in other tick species, such as anaplasmosis, babesiosis and Powassan virus.

There are a couple of pathogens in Asia that they are believed to transmit that are closely related to pathogens we have here, so its possible, said Dill. But from what weve seen so far in other states, [the ticks] risk to humans is thought to be relatively low at the moment. And we havent seen indication that its able to contribute to the transmission of Lyme disease.

In the U.S., East Asia and other areas where this tick has been found, such as New Zealand and Australia, it is considered to be a serious threat to livestock such as cattle and sheep. Major infestations can cause stress on an animal, reducing its growth and production. And in some cases, infestations can kill animals due to blood loss.

From limited studies that have been done on this species, they do seem to prefer feeding on animal hosts as opposed to humans, Dill said.

A new study in the journal Zoonoses and Public Health, published earlier this month, investigates the origin of this tick species and how they are spreading across the country.

Researchers gathered samples of Asian longhorned ticks across the U.S. and internationally, then used gene sequencing to compare various populations. The results indicate that at least three individual ticks from self-cloning populations were somehow transported to the U.S., and this explains why all adult Asian longhorned ticks found in the U.S. so far have been female. With Asian longhorned ticks that reproduce through parthenogenesis, male offspring are rare.

(In Asia, male Asian longhorned ticks do exist in some populations where they participate in reproduction.)

The study also found that these original ticks most likely came from East Asia.

While the first established Asian longhorned tick population in the U.S. was documented in New Jersey in 2017, researchers believe the species had been flying under the radar in the country for several years.

Theres a whole lot we dont know about it, said Chuck Lubelczyk, vector ecologist at Maine Medical Center Research Institute. Right now, the states where its occurring tend to be doing a lot more research on it [than other states], and I think a lot more research is going to be done on it as time goes by. Its a public health issue thats been introduced to the country and we werent really talking about it before it arrived here. We were kind of unprepared for it.

Its believed that the tick species can easily be spread by wildlife, as well as the transportation of livestock and domestic animals, such as dogs.

There are some pretty good regulations in place in terms of livestock transport, Lubelczyk said. But it certainly speaks to people needing to be vigilant about tick control medicines for their dogs and other domestic animals.

In the U.S., Asian longhorned ticks have been collected from deer, dogs, raccoons, cats, opossums and a number of other warm-blooded animals, as well as a variety of birds, according to data collected by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Theyve also been found feeding on people.

Because of the wide geographical range that the species already inhabits, Lubelczyk believes it could survive Maines climate, even the states cold winters.

At least in southern Maine, I dont think itd have a problem, Lubelczyk said. How it would do up in northern Maine? I dont have a guess.

Moving forward, tick experts ask that Maine people be on the lookout for this invasive tick species; however, theyre difficult to identify. Adults are plain brown but can look similar to brown dog ticks and rabbit ticks, both of which live in Maine.

Researchers from the Maine Tick Lab and Maine Medical Center Research Institute are looking for Asian longhorned ticks, as well as the lone star tick (which has been found in Maine, but not yet in breeding populations), when conducting on-the-ground tick surveillance throughout the state.

In addition, they receive information about tick populations in Maine from the public sending tick samples to the Maine Tick Lab in Orono. The lab identifies these tick samples for free, and for an additional fee of $15 will test deer ticks for three common diseases they carry: Lyme disease, babesiosis and anaplasmosis.

Voice Cloning Market 2020 | In-Depth Study On The Current State Of The Industry And Key Insights Of The Business Scenario By 2027 - Cole of Duty

Keith Campbell and Ian Wilmut led a revolution in the world of science when they introduced Dolly the sheep, the first cloned mammal, to the world in 1997. Along with this milestone, they also opened a debate at the social level about mans ability to challenge the reproductive rules of nature over violations of religious statutes.

Dolly the sheep

Dolly, born on July 5, 1996, became the image of technological advances and a symbol of progress. Dolly was born from a mammary glandular cell (adult cell) from a sheep that had already died. That is to say, from a cell of the udder of a female that was united with an ovule with which they inseminated another sheep. It was not a normal process involving the known elements of reproduction such as the egg and the sperm. Dolly was the first large animal to be cloned, but not the first in human history.

In 1962, Sir John Gurdon, known as the godfather of cloning, extracted a cell from one frogs intestine to inject it into another and obtain adult frogs. And so, just over 30 years before Dolly the sheep, the first cloned animals that gave way to the sheep and a series of experiments on cows, dogs and more had arrived in the world. So, if they had already successfully cloned, why was Dolly the sheep that caused the most impact in society and remains in our memory?

The circumstances around Dolly were correct, but above all it was time. In 1962, society was hardly freed from the torment of World War II, a conflict loaded with hate speech, but above all, with extreme ideologies about humanity and the superiority of certain races. Hitler began to realize his dream based on the deaths of millions of people and human scientific and social experimentation.

Why, less than 20 years from the end, should they want to talk about it? The 1960s, while liberating in many human respects such as sexuality and gender roles, also represented a time of political oppression where the Cold War with the space race reached its peak.

Dolly the Sheep / .

However, the 90s were totally different. In 1997, the younger generations had many questions, but few answers with the imminent arrival of an unknown and unstable new millennium. But most important of all, was the internet, which was already beginning to emerge as the way that would revolutionize communication and the way we inform ourselves. Intimately related to science, the internet and the evolution of the media, allowed societies to know more about any topic and related things. And so, in a chaotic time that asked for something more, Dolly the sheep arrived or a miracle of science.

Dollys kidnapping or the attempt

In 1998, anti-cloning activists attempted to kidnap Dolly the sheep, but failed. The reason, stupid as it may seem, is because they couldnt distinguish her from the others in the herd. This funny story only hints that Dollys success occurred in every aspect of her cloning, while also giving humans a chance: If they were able to successfully clone a sheep now, when can they do so with a human?

Five cloned little pigs: Noel, Angel, Star, Joy and Mary in 2002. / .

Thats why we remember Dolly, because it came at a time when people were more willing to understand that science could also be challenged, not just religion. Dolly died on February 14, 2003 at the six and a half years, just six months longer than the sheep that gave him life, or rather, the one that provided the cell that allowed scientists to carry out their tests successfully. The causes of its death are not related to its status as a cloned sheep, but due to a progressive lung disease that usually affects mammals of this species.

The rest is here:

Gurdons frogs, first cloned animals before Dolly the sheep - Explica

Thanks to the global coronavirus pandemic, fans will have to wait an extra six months to seeBlack Widow,the much-anticipated standalone movie for the Avenger of the same name.

The film stars Scarlett Johansson, and its the secondstandalone movie to focus on a female character in the MCU, and Black Widow, or Natasha Romanoff, has a mysterious past that fans were dying to learn about.

BeforeAvengers: Endgamepremiered, fans were sure that Black Widow would be one of the surviving Avengers at the end of the movie, since her standalone movie was already in the works.

Unfortunately, fans were misled. Black Widow died at the end ofEndgame,along with most of the other Avengers. Her standalone movie will take place betweenAvengersfilms.

It follows her escapades between Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: Infinity War. Although fans know what will happen to Black Widow at the end of the arc, theyre still anxiously awaiting this new movie, because Black Widow is such a complicated and interesting character.

Natasha Romanoff was born in Soviet-era Russia. She was trained as a spy and assassin from a young age. Part of her preparation included receiving a lot of impressive weapons, like her infamous Widows Bite.

Black Widow is the name of all the graduates of Natasha Romanoffs training program. Which means theres more than one Black Widow. In the upcoming movie, fans can expect to meet at least one other former Soviet spy, played by Florence Pugh. Now, Johansson has hinted that she and Pugh will star in future films as fellow Black Widows.

RELATED: MCU: Why Scarlett Johansson Didnt Want Black Widow to Receive This Sendoff in Avengers: Endgame

Fans of the Avengers have been trying to come up with ways the fallen could come back to life ever since the end ofEndgame.Theyre desperate for their favorite Avengers, like Iron Man, to come back. Whether its through some sort of time travel, or downloaded consciousness, fans cant stand to think that this is the end.

Many people think that Black Widow will find a way to come back in future films. If not, she could be replaced with another Black Widow, like Pugh. Introducing another graduate of Natasha Romanoffs intense spy training in theBlack Widowstandalone movie may be a good way to present her to audiences for upcoming Avengers movies.

Johansson recently dropped the words standalone franchise in the context of her upcoming movie with Pugh. She not only suggested that there will be moreBlack Widow films, but that Pugh will be in them. Some fans think this is just a red herring from Marvel.

Pughs character may not even make it at the end of the movie. Or, the MCU could continue to go into the past, instead of the future. That means films could take place during a time when Natasha is alive and well. Fans agree that theres one way they definitely dont want to see Johanssons Black Widow return toAvengersmovies.

Some Reddit fans think that there could be clones of all the Black Widow spies out there, and that Natasha Romanoffs clone will come back for future Avengersmovies.

One user thinks that The red room obviously never died all they did was stop taking new recruits as a result of the frequent losses of agents to which they switched into cloning the best of theyre ranks one of them is a Natasha clone who becomes the main villain to which Yelena gets conflicted about killing her or saving her.

According to fans on Reddit, this one actually makes the most sense in terms of reasonable ways to get Romanoff back, but they still wouldnt like it. One user thinks clones would be the most realistic way to go. We definitely could clone humans. Weve cloned a wide variety of different mammals. We just dont for ethical reasons. But thats the thing about supervillains, not so ethical.

Fans think that clones would be a cheap way to keep Romanoff in the franchise, and they wouldnt feel emotionally connected to a clone Natasha. As a succinct commenter said: A clone is not Natasha. That would not be compelling to me.

There seems to be more popular support for Natasha Romanoff to be replaced with Pughs version of Black Widow.

Scarlett Johansson Returning to the MCU as a Natasha Clone Would be a 'Cheap' Way to Bring Her Back - Showbiz Cheat Sheet

Following is a transcript of the video.

Narrator: We've been able to clone human embryos for about seven years. But as far as we know, no one's actually cloned a whole person. Turns out, ethics aren't the only thing holding scientists back. Cloning isn't the sci-fi marvel we think it is. It can be dangerous, often ineffective, and, most of all, we just haven't thought of a good enough reason to do it. So, here's why you'll probably never have to fight your evil clone.

This is Dolly. Just kidding, that's a regular sheep. This is Dolly, the first mammal cloned successfully from an adult cell. She was born in 1996 after scientists figured out how to remove the DNA from the egg cell of a Scottish Blackface sheep and basically replace it with the DNA of a mammary cell from a Finn Dorset sheep. They gave it a little electric shock to fuse the cell and get it replicating, placed the cells in the uterus of another sheep, and boom, clone. This method, called reproductive cloning, could theoretically be used on humans. But this is a best-case scenario. It took 277 tries for the scientists to get one Dolly. Nowadays, cloning mammals generally has a success rate of about 10% to 20%. Better than one in 277, but still a majorly inefficient process.

Jose Cibelli: Technically, it's not difficult to produce a clone embryo, but human cloning has other hurdles that need to be considered.

Narrator: To even research human cloning, scientists would need to ethically collect a large amount of donated eggs and find enough surrogates to carry them. But even if they made it through that logistical nightmare, the biggest issue is this:

Cibelli: They're gonna hurt the baby, or they're gonna hurt the person carrying the cloned fetus.

Narrator: Across the board, scientists have found that some embryos expire before they're implanted. Others result in miscarriages. And those that make it to term often die soon after birth or end up with severe abnormalities. Simply, these are risks that are easier to take when it comes to experimenting with sheep than with people. But arguably the biggest reason we haven't cloned a human being? There's not a good enough reason to.

In pop culture, cloning is used to bring people back from the dead. But that's not how it works. Cloning someone would only create a twin, not a replica, since identical twins have the same genetics, but not necessarily personalities. And a "Never Let Me Go" scenario, where organs are harvested from clones to save the rich, is not only unethical, but unnecessary. Why clone an entire person when you can just make the part you need? Something, theoretically, therapeutic cloning can solve.

Therapeutic cloning is almost identical to reproductive, except the cloned embryo is never implanted in a uterus. Instead, the embryo is cloned for the sole purpose of extracting stem cells. Stem cells have the incredible ability to turn into any other cell in the human body, which means they're great for developing new treatments for disease and have the potential to repair or regenerate tissues and organs.

But, no surprise, there are a lot of downsides with therapeutic cloning. The thing about stem cells is that they're a pretty limited resource. The most substantial source for embryonic stem cells? Three- to five-day-old embryos, cloned or otherwise. And when someone else's stem cells are transplanted into a patient, the body will sometimes fight them off like a disease. Some researchers believe that cloned stem cells, since they share the patient's DNA, would be less likely to be rejected. But this use case is still in the research stage.

And, finally, therapeutic cloning is an individualized treatment in a world where drug companies are more interested in standardized ones. And there are easier ways to create multipurpose cells nowadays, like the method for creating induced pluripotent stem cells. They're basically adult cells that have been reprogrammed to be a different type of cell.

Cibelli: The problem with therapeutic cloning, of course, is that you need a lab personnel that is qualified to do it, specific equipment to do it. Whereas the other technique, you can just buy a kit and one person can do it in a lab that has some expertise in tissue culture.

Narrator: Cloned cells still have an advantage when it comes to healthier mitochondria and the ability to grow into entire animals, whereas iPSCs often peter out. But since iPSCs safely and reliably do most everything but create entire living animals, why fund the harder, ethically ambiguous thing? So, cloning might actually have a bigger place in movies than it does in real life, because the money just isn't there. And just because we can do something doesn't mean we need to.

Ian: Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.

Abby Tang: So, in the research for this video, I did come across one very interesting tidbit, and that is the announcement of cloned human baby Eve, who was born on December 26, 2002. And the source of this announcement is a company called Clonaid, which was formed in 1997 by the Raelian cult. And they're a cult that believes that humans were cloned from aliens and the only way for us to reach immortality is to clone ourselves. It's been 18 years, and we haven't gotten any proof that baby Eve exists or has ever existed, but the company is still alive and well. So if any proof does come through, we will update you.

Why we still haven't cloned humans it's not just ethics - Business Insider - Business Insider

Several weeks ago, when it became clear that we would not be able to have monthly garden club meetings, I began a podcast about gardening in St. Johns. I also put together short videos as I was doing things around my garden and put them on TikTok, as well as posting to our Garden Club Facebook page. One thing I had several people asking me about was how to take cuttings and turn them into new plants.

Many plants can be cloned through taking softwood stem cuttings. I've used Wisteria for this blog post, but I've done grapes, Rose of Sharon, roses, hydrangea, and many more. If you want to know if you can propagate your plants from softwood stem cuttings, do a general web search. Most deciduous shrubs can be copied this way.

In St. Johns and the surrounding area, maintaining moisture while cuttings take root is the hardest part, so preparing your rooting area should take place before you go to cutting stems off of plants.

Fill a pot with some soilless mix.When you are going to take cuttings, rooting them in soilless mix is much easier and more successful than it would be to try to root them in heavy soil. It is easier to water and is more consistent.

When I water potting "soil" for the first time, I always overwater, making sure water runs all the way through and out the holes in the bottom of the pot. Northern Arizona in incredibly arid, with "humid" days being somewhere around 25 to 30% humidity. Extra water will drain out of the pot very quickly.

Knowing when to take cuttings, and how to take them and prepare them to root is the first step. Most cuttings should be taken from soft wood, before the bark has hardened.

The cuttings themselves should only be about 6" long, at a maximum, and all but the top couple leaves should be cut off. This not only helps the cutting to send out roots rather than sending energy to the leaves, but it also helps the cutting to lose less water through respiration out of the leaves.

**Note** This next part can be done with or without rooting hormone. I have had less than 60% success with wisteria in the past without rooting hormone, so I did use it for this round.

After you have your stem cuttings (notice how they are still somewhat green, rather than covered with bark), dip them in rooting hormone. Shake off the excess powder.

Whether or not you used rooting hormone, it is best at this point to poke holes in the soil with a stick or something, about 4 inches deep. The potting soil will rub off the hormone if you used it, or can plug the phloem at the bottom of the cutting if you didn't use it, so it is best not to use the cuttings and press them right into the soil. Blocking the phloem, or the little channels water runs up the stem through, will cut down your success rate. Just poke a hole with a pencil or small stick, set the cutting in it, firm the soil around the cutting, and then continue with all the rest of the cuttings.

In a pot this size, about 8 inches in diameter, you can place 10 or so cuttings. Once the soil is firmed up around each of the cuttings, water well, allowing water to run through the bottom of the pot. This pushes out air from around the cuttings, and will allow the stems to be in good contact with the potting soil.

Because we are in this arid area, I always set my watered pot in a seedling tray to allow a small amount of water to sit to increase the humidity immediately around the pot. Then cover the pot with a big trash bag or other plastic cover, making sure the plastic doesn't touch the leaves (more important in more humid areas). In 4 to 6 weeks, the cuttings should have roots strong enough to allow you to transplant each new baby plant into its own pot or directly in the ground where it will be growing.

Make sure you water well, until the plant recovers from the shock of transplanting, and then enjoy your new babies as they grow!
