The authors of the paper published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B looked at data from six existing studies involving 257 dogs in total. The experiments included seeing whether dogs would catch yawns off people who interacted with them—for instance by petting the animal—and others who ignored them. Co-author Patrick Neilands, a Ph.D. student at the Clever Canine Lab part of the Animal Minds research group at New Zealand’s University of Auckland, told Newsweek the study provides the first robust evidence that yawning is contagious in dogs, which until now hasn’t been shown in any mammals outside of humans and chimpanzees....

Oscar nets on Shanghai SIPG debut Terry, 36, was sent off during the second half of his team’s 4-1 win over Peterborough United in the FA Cup on Sunday. The club captain, whose contract expires at the end of the season, has made just eight appearances in all competitions. Asked about Terry’s future, Conte said that still needed to be discussed. “Now we are in January. First of all, these decisions need to be made with the club, not alone,” the Italian said....

Former Barcelona winger Pedro was shown a yellow card for going to ground despite there being no contact with Canaries goalkeeper Angus Gunn in the FA Cup third round replay at Stamford Bridge which the hosts eventually won on a penalty shoot-out. The Spaniard was later sent-off, as was striker Alvaro Morata, whose first caution was also for alleged simulation. A third player, Willian, was another booked for diving....

The Blues have enjoyed success with their Belgian forward operating as a central striker, with his ability to drop deep and work between the lines posing problems to opposition defences. Hazard has, however, admitted that he feels more comfortable in a wide berth, with a playmaking post offering him greater freedom to drift and dictate the play. Conte has turned a deaf ear to those calls, though, with a forgettable performance put in by his most creative talent during a disappointing 1-0 defeat to Manchester City....

Hazard’s father, Thierry, told Belgian outlet Le Soir on Friday that his son had rejected a contract offer from the Blues to keep his options open, and although Goal understands no formal offer has been made, the club plans to attempt to renew the 26-year-old’s deal in 2018. Despite the apparent interest from Madrid, Chelsea will resist any approaches for Hazard in January, with the forward still having two-and-a-half years remaining on his current contract....

Antonio Conte lost his only fit striker before the match, as Chelsea yet again had to wait until deadline day to secure their transfer targets, with Olivier Giroud arriving at the 11th hour to replace the Borussia Dortmund-bound Michy Batshuayi. However, the embarrassing defeat to Bournemouth highlighted deeper, more troubling issues and prompted several searching questions: Is everyone at Stamford Bridge still behind Conte? Will he stay beyond the summer?...

Chelsea are on course to win the league in Conte’s first season at the helm, the Blues holding a seven-point lead on closest challengers Tottenham with seven games to play. The former Italy boss lost two of his first six top-flight games in England, but then oversaw a 13-match winning streak to put his side in pole position for glory. Morata? Lukaku? Costa is still the man And Crespo, who won the title with Chelsea in 2006, believes Conte’s change of approach and an agreement with his top attackers was a decisive moment....

Types True labor contractions normally come within 24 hours after your water breaks. They involve muscles in your womb tightening and then relaxing. This may feel like severe period pains to some people. If you put your hand on your abdomen, you will feel it getting harder when these muscles tighten, and when the pain eases, you will feel this hardness ease. These contractions are pushing your baby down and also opening the entrance to your womb—the cervix—so that your baby can come through....

The Disney family is outraged. Walt’s 94-year-old widow, Lillian, and daughter Diane released a 73-page refutation of Eliot’s claims, charging more than 150 factual errors. Writes a pained Mrs. Disney, Eliot “must have assumed I was no longer alive and able to bear witness.” According to Eliot, Disney was a dark genius who washed his hands obsessively and breakfasted on “doughnuts dunked in scotch.” He commandeered the image of Mickey Mouse from animator Ub Iwerks, and once told another animator, leaving to work elsewhere, “Off you go to work with those Jews....

The man, who has not been named in media reports, is a police officer in the Austrian state of Burgenland. He was found guilty of violating the Verbotsgesetz 1947 - otherwise known as Prohibition Act 1947, which aims to suppress a revival of Nazism in the country. It is alleged that the officer shared a photo of Hitler’s favorite meal on April 20, the dictator’s birthday, last year. Hitler was originally from Austria and later migrated to Germany....

Now fans of TV shows about cops are doing their part to donate and encourage other fans to donate with a staggering almost $40,000 raised in response at the time of publication. The initiative was started when actor Griffin Newman of Blue Bloods fame tweeted his support for bail bond donations and encouraged other actors who play or have played police to do the same. “I’m an out-of-work actor who (improbably) played a detective on two episodes of BLUE BLOODS almost a decade ago,” Newman tweeted on Monday....

Brazil required a penalty shootout to overcome Paraguay, while Argentina negotiated a potentially tricky match against Venezuela to secure a 2-0 win. Like Brazil, Chile and Peru also needed penalty shootouts to eliminate Colombia and Uruguay respectively. Here, Newsweek ranks all the teams that have progressed to the semifinals. Brazil It is hard to know what to make of Brazil. Accomplished but not impressive in the first two games of the tournament, the Selecao hammered Peru 5-0 in the final group stage game—but then struggled against underwhelming Paraguay side in the quarterfinals....

The voluntary recall announcement, which was posted on the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) website, states that “specific lots of five Coppertone aerosol sunscreen spray products manufactured between the dates of January 10, 2021 and June 15, 2021 to the consumer level,” were being recalled after the company identified the presence of benzene in the lots. “Benzene is classified as a human carcinogen,” the recall announcement said. “Exposure to benzene can occur through inhalation, oral, and skin and it could, depending on the level and extent of exposure, result in an increased risk of cancers, including leukemia, and blood cancer of the bone marrow and other blood disorders which can be life-threatening....

Full House star Sweetin, 40, was among the protestors who took to the streets of Los Angeles on Saturday to voice their opposition to Friday’s overturning of Roe v. Wade, the 1973 landmark decision that had guaranteed abortion rights nationwide. In footage shared on Instagram and Twitter by photographer Michael Ade on Sunday, the actress appeared to be pushed by one of a wall of law enforcement officers lining a local freeway, before another apparently shoved her....

The Ferguson protests followed the August 9, 2014, shooting of 18-year-old Black man Michael Brown by a white police officer, Darren Wilson. The officer was never charged, choosing to resign in November of the same year. Bush, a Democrat from Missouri, rose to prominence as a Black Lives Matter activist, joining protesters who took to the streets when Wilson was not charged. In response to the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse, who fatally shot two people and wounded one during a racial injustice protest in Kenosha, Wisconsin, Bush posted a statement to Facebook and Twitter on Monday....
