About those baby sharks on a Florida beach

A video showing a 5-foot hammerhead shark seemingly delivering pups as it’s being hauled onto a Florida beach began going viral Monday, a day after it was uploaded to YouTube.

Among the first to report on the story was the U.K.’s Daily Mail, beneath the headline: “Hammerhead shark stuns fisherman by giving birth to a litter of pups as it is hauled onto packed Florida beach.

People on social media sites were clearly disturbed by the bizarre scene, in which the Panama Beach fisherman who reeled in the shark was dragging it by the tail as baby sharks spilled out and squirmed to make it back into the ocean.The Daily Mail story, at the time of this post, had been shared more than 900 times.It didn’t take long, however, before experts began to chime in. They pointed out that the little critters were remoras, not baby hammerheads. It’s difficult to tell, until one looks closely.The shark in this story is a male. You can tell because it has claspers, male reproductive organs marine biologist David Shiffman posted on his Facebook page. Also, the litter of pups are remoras, not baby hammerheads. You can tell because they DON’T LOOK ANYTHING LIKE HAMMERHEADS.The Florida-based Shiffman also tweeted a photo showing baby hammerheads, so people could compare these with the remoras in the video see photo at right.Remoras boast sucker-like organs they use to attach themselves to larger predatory fishes, such as sharks. They enjoy a free ride, and free meals, while the host fish gains nothing from this relationship.
Once the corrections regarding the footage began to appear, websites either corrected or removed their stories. This website’s story on the baby hammerhead saga lasted only 30 minutes, thankfully.
Some offered reasons for pulling their stories. Shark Attack News, for example, issued this brief apology since removed, along with the post Thank you to Coral Levy, Joseph Slocum, and others for helping confirm that the earlier posted photo/video was not baby hammerheads but instead was remoras.So the frenzy appears to be dying down, although people are still voicing displeasure over how the large shark was treated. A spokeswoman for Florida State Parks said the shark died during efforts to set it free.However, at the time of this post, the Daily Mail had still not corrected its story, leaving its readers to ponder the fate of the poor baby sharks.And we thought “Shark Week” had ended.

Religious people are less intelligent than atheists, study finds

Previous studies have tended to assume that intelligent people simply “know better, the researchers write - but the reasons may be more complex.For instance, intelligent
people are more likely to be married, and more likely to be successful in life  and this may mean they need” religion less.
The studies used in Zuckerman's paper included a life-long analysis of the beliefs of a group of 1,500 gifted children  those with IQs over 135  in a study which began in 1921 and continues today.
Even at 75 to 91 years of age, the children from Lewis Terman’s study scored lower for religiosity than the general population - contrary to the widely held belief that people turn to God as they age. The researchers noted that data was lacking about religious attitudes in old age and sayAdditional research is needed to resolve this issue.As early as 1958, Michael Argyle concluded Although intelligent children grasp religious concepts earlier, they are also the first to doubt the truth of religion, and intelligent students are much less likely to accept orthodox beliefs and rather less likely to have pro-religious attitudes.
A 1916 study quoted in Zuckermans paper Leuba found that, 58% of randomly selected scientists in the United States expressed disbelief in, or doubt regarding the existence of God; this proportion rose to nearly 70% for the most eminent scientists.

IMAN says that it's time to protest against fashion brands that don't use black models by any means possible.It feels to me like the times need a real hard line drawn like in the Sixties by saying if you don't use
black models then we boycott Iman said. If you engage the social media trust me it will hurt them in their pockets.If you take it out there they will feel the uproar.The supermodel businesswoman and philanthropist believes that designers have become more racially prejudice since she started her career in the Eighties.The New York Times reports that this year black models accounted for only 6 per cent of catwalk looks at New York Fashion Week falling from 8.2 per cent in 2012.There is something terribly wrong she said.We have a President and a First Lady who are black.You would think things have changed and then you realise that they have not.In fact things have gone backwards.
