Many outside Ireland still associate Sinn Fein with years of paramilitary violence perpetrated by the Irish Republican Army. The party favors reunification with the Republic of Ireland, and a victory could upend the power-sharing arrangements that have kept the country’s fragile peace for two decades. Sinn Fein’s rival, the Democratic Unionist Party, favors Northern Ireland’s current status as part of the U.K. Members have warned they will refuse to take part in a government with a Sinn Fein first minister. The country’s unionists, who have splintered into three parties, could still end up with the largest bloc of votes. What’s next: Sinn Fein wants a “border poll” to determine whether a majority of people favor Irish unity. But the party has limited power: Only the British government can call such a referendum. Brexit: Disputes have recently escalated over the North’s hybrid trade status with Britain and the E.U. Unionists are pressing Britain to cut back on border checks, which, critics warn, could prompt a clash with Brussels and jeopardize the hard-won peace of the Good Friday Agreement.

One of the clearest findings is that breed has no discernible effect on a dog’s reactions to something it finds new or strange. This behavior is what a nonscientist may see as innate aggression and would seem to cast doubt on breed stereotypes of aggressive dogs. So, Labrador retrievers are not necessarily lovers; pit bulls aren’t predisposed to fight. This is not to say that there are no differences among breeds or that breed can’t predict some things. (Border collies, for instance, may be easier to train; Siberian huskies seem more likely to howl.) But the genes that shape dog behavior predate modern breeding, which mostly focuses on appearance.
