Panda Researchers Dress Up to Help Cubs
That's what staff at the Wolong Nature Reserve in China's Sichuan province are doing to lure two-year-old Taotao into a crate before releasing the young panda into the wild.
The zoo keepers smeared their costumes with panda feces and urine to hide any traces of human scent and avoided interference from the mother by distracting her with bamboo.
Researchers try to approach giant panda Taotao and its mother Caocao. They were transferred from a 2,100-metre high mountain to Hetaoping Research and Conservation Center for a health examination and to be prepared for reintroduction to the wild.

It's the last step of Taotao's months-long journey. Researchers have been prepping the two-year-old for his reintroduction into the wild.
Meanwhile in the nearby capital of Chengdu, another panda mother celebrated the one month birthday of her twin cubs.
Staff members at that breeding facility have made it their mission to help populate pandas, which are now seen as coming back from the brink of extinction.

HOW TO CALL THE POLICE.... WHEN YOU'RE OLD AND DON'T MOVE FAST ANYMORE.
George Phillips , an elderly man, from Meridian, Mississippi, was going
up to bed, when his wife told him that he'd left the light on in the
garden shed, which she could see from the bedroom window.
George opened the back door to go turn off the light, but saw that there were people in the shed stealing things.
He phoned the police, who asked "Is someone in your house?"
He said "No," but some people are breaking into my garden shed and stealing from me.
Then the police dispatcher said "All patrols are busy. You should lock
your doors and an officer will be along when one is available."
George said, "Okay."
He hung up the phone and counted to 30.
Then he phoned the police again.
"Hello, I just called you a few seconds ago because there were people
stealing things from my shed. Well, you don't have to worry about them
now because I just shot them.", and he hung up.
In five
minutes, six Police Cars, a SWAT Team, a Police Dog, Fire Truck, a
Paramedic, and an Ambulance showed up at the residence, and caught the
burglars red-handed.
One of the Policemen said to George, "I thought you said that you'd shot them!"
George said, "I thought you said there was nobody available!"

Tirupur boy comes out with eco-friendly cab | Deccan Chronicle

A 26-year-old youngster of Tirupur has designed an eco friendly cab, a modified cycle rickshaw, that can run manually or be operated with battery. The three-seater vehicle can run a maximum speed of 45 km per hour and will utilise solar energy to charge its batteries.
The vehicle can also be pedalled and the mechanical energy will be saved to the battery, explains the designer of the cab, Sivaraj Muthukumaran, who on Saturday exhibited his invention to find a place in India Book of Records.
Explaining the mechanism of the vehicle, Muthukumaran said that the vehicle will weigh less than 120 kg and can be pedalled. Two batteries used for cars will be fitted in the vehicle and these batteries will be linked to solar panels in the vehicle.
The mechanical energy generated through pedalling will also be saved to the battery. Besides, the batteries can be recharged through the direct current, he says.
The vehicle will not emit smoke and is easy to maintain. Further it will be ideal to translocate students and others travelling for short distances.
Patent and finishing works for the green vehicle is underway and it will soon hit the market. The vehicle can be provided free of cost or at subsidised rates to serve the disabled, adds the youngster who has a master degree in business administration.
