The emerging...

Facebook is causing a massive scale emotional contagion, according to a study by researchers at Cornell University, which showed that positive emotions expressed by others on Facebook influence our own posts to be positive and vice versa. These results are the opposite of other findings that have suggested positive Facebook posts negatively affect us through upward social comparisons. We look at the way that social networks can affect what you do and don\'t post, in this Lip News clip with Lissette Padilla and Mark Sovel.

Meet the tiny mouse-like creature with a TRUNK: New species is more closely related to an elephant than a shrew
It may seem hard to believe that such an unusual looking animal has remained hidden for so long.
But scientists have only just discovered a new species of elephant shrew -- or round-eared sengi - in the remote deserts of south western Africa.
While it is the smallest known member of the 19 sengis in the order Macroscelidea, the small creature is in fact genetically more closely related to an elephant than a true shrew.
The Etendeka round-eared sengi, or Macroscelides micus, was discovered by scientists from the California Academy of Sciences. It is the third new species of elephant shrew to be found in the wild in the past decade
The diminutive animal is smaller than other sengi and has rust-coloured fur, a large, hairless gland on the underside of its tail and lacks dark skin pigment, according to the study published in the Journal of Mammalogy.
Its unusual appearance attracted the attention of experts Jack Dumbacher and Galen Rathbun, who noted it looked different from any museum specimens they had encountered.
Genetic analysis showed important differences between this specimen and close relatives. 
Together with experts from the National Museum of Namibia and the Republic of Namibia Ministry of Environment and Tourism, they scoured museums for similar animals and conducted more genetic tests, before confirming that they had found a new species.
\'The differences between this and all other known species are very subtle,\' said Dr Dumbacher.
\'Genetically, Macroscelides micus is very different from other members of the genus and it\'s exciting to think that there are still areas of the world where even the mammal fauna is unknown and waiting to be explored.\'
Elephant shrews are restricted to Africa and despite their small size, are more closely related to elephants, manatees (known as sea cows) and aardvarks than they are to true shrews.
Found in a remote area of Namibia, on the inland edge of the Namib Desert at the base of the Etendeka Plateau, scientists believe this new species went undescribed for so long because of the challenges of doing scientific research in such an isolated area. 
Yet it is precisely this isolation and the unique environmental conditions in the region that have given rise to this and other endemic animals. 
\'With only about a dozen new species of mammal discovered in the wild each year, it is amazing that the Academy has been involved in describing three new sengis in the last decade,\' said Dr Rathbun Research Associate. 
\'There are new and exciting insights into biodiversity awaiting discovery, even in a group as familiar as mammals.\'

  • Updated: 17 Jun 2014
Subscribe to VICE News here: http://bit.ly/Subscribe-to-VICE-News Last week, the extremist militant Sunni group — Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), along with other Sunni militias and former Baathist party members, seized control of large parts of Iraq, including Mosul, the nation's second largest city. In many places, the Iraqi army barely put up a flight. Soldiers dropped their weapons and fled, whether because of fear, incompetence, or internal sabotage. Hundreds of thousands of Iraqis have become internally displaced after fleeing the fighting or the potential for potential Iraqi air strikes. As ISIS and the other groups continued to fight their way to Baghdad, gruesome videos of brutal executions began to surface. Iraqi army units stationed near Baghdad, as well as Shiite militias, have pledged to not give up so easily. Many say the conflict was brewing for a while, and that ISIS, along with some of the other groups, has had some semblance of control in Sunni areas for quite some time. They point to Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri Al-Maliki's increasingly sectarian polices and crackdowns on Sunnis as having provoked the events of the last week, and fear this could be the start of a devastating civil war. In the north, Kurdish forces known as the peshmerga have used the opportunity to seize disputed areas, territories that the Kurds long felt belonged to them but the government was hesitant relinquish. An informal border now exists between ISIS dominated areas and Kurdish territory. There has only been sporadic clashing, as neither group seems determined to break the strange detente.

Facebook is causing a massive scale emotional contagion, according to a study by researchers at Cornell University, which showed that positive emotions expressed by others on Facebook influence our own posts to be positive and vice versa. These results are the opposite of other findings that have suggested positive Facebook posts negatively affect us through upward social comparisons. We look at the way that social networks can affect what you do and don't post, in this Lip News clip with Lissette Padilla and Mark Sovel. http://thelip.tv/show/the-lip-news/ Newest Lip News playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLp_R-dPUcE&index;=2&list;=PLjk3H0GXhhGcjJDo6cQBCQprDMQyUQY3r BUZZSAW interview clips - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpR4_wTB7lg&list;=PLjk3H0GXhhGeWhHPas6M9sKUhThquDNOc&index;=2 CRIME TIME clips playlist - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1i871Nvs9bs&list;=PLjk3H0GXhhGeC9DbpSnIvd2i9BHh2dBvv&index;=2 BYOD (Bring Your Own Doc) Highlight Videos- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCG66CxxH54&list;=PLjk3H0GXhhGeu2DCf6Ouo7hTsA5QB2MAL&index;=2 MEDIA MAYHEM short videos playlist - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHUycYkTA_U&index;=2&list;=PLjk3H0GXhhGcz4un-zws5sMlCLk3NNjDP https://www.facebook.com/thelip.tv http://www.youtube.com/theliptv

Scientists have discovered a new species of elephant shrew in the remote deserts of south west Afric
Scientists have discovered a new species of elephant shrew in the remote deserts of south west Afric

Meet the tiny mouse-like creature with a TRUNK: New species is more closely related to an elephant than a shrew It may seem hard to believe that such an unusual looking animal has remained hidden for so long. But scientists have only just discovered a new species of elephant shrew -- or round-eared sengi - in the remote deserts of south western Africa. While it is the smallest known member of the 19 sengis in the order Macroscelidea, the small creature is in fact genetically more closely related to an elephant than a true shrew. The Etendeka round-eared sengi, or Macroscelides micus, was discovered by scientists from the California Academy of Sciences. It is the third new species of elephant shrew to be found in the wild in the past decade The diminutive animal is smaller than other sengi and has rust-coloured fur, a large, hairless gland on the underside of its tail and lacks dark skin pigment, according to the study published in the Journal of Mammalogy. Its unusual appearance attracted the attention of experts Jack Dumbacher and Galen Rathbun, who noted it looked different from any museum specimens they had encountered. Genetic analysis showed important differences between this specimen and close relatives. Together with experts from the National Museum of Namibia and the Republic of Namibia Ministry of Environment and Tourism, they scoured museums for similar animals and conducted more genetic tests, before confirming that they had found a new species. 'The differences between this and all other known species are very subtle,' said Dr Dumbacher. 'Genetically, Macroscelides micus is very different from other members of the genus and it's exciting to think that there are still areas of the world where even the mammal fauna is unknown and waiting to be explored.' Elephant shrews are restricted to Africa and despite their small size, are more closely related to elephants, manatees (known as sea cows) and aardvarks than they are to true shrews. Found in a remote area of Namibia, on the inland edge of the Namib Desert at the base of the Etendeka Plateau, scientists believe this new species went undescribed for so long because of the challenges of doing scientific research in such an isolated area. Yet it is precisely this isolation and the unique environmental conditions in the region that have given rise to this and other endemic animals. 'With only about a dozen new species of mammal discovered in the wild each year, it is amazing that the Academy has been involved in describing three new sengis in the last decade,' said Dr Rathbun Research Associate. 'There are new and exciting insights into biodiversity awaiting discovery, even in a group as familiar as mammals.'
