Man Deliver Three Baby Sharks From Dead Mother

Beach-goers in Cape Town, Africa had an unexpected find when they stumbled across a dead shark lying washed close to shore. Upon close inspection, they noticed the shark's stomach moving, and decided to investigate. They cut open the shark's abdomen, and found three baby sharks inside.

Those concerned for the infants will be relieved to hear that baby sharks do not remain with their mother's after the birth, so her premature death should not cause them undue harm.

Army Cockroach

Following disasters such as earthquakes or tornadoes, it can be challenging to locate and rescue survivors from collapsed buildings. A group from North Carolina State University have designed “cockroach cyborgs” to aid in the search and rescue effort. The roaches’ antennae are connected to little electronic backpacks with microphones that draw them toward sound, like from the cries of a trapped individual. The team has published two papers describing this “biobot” technology, which utilizes Madagascar hissing cockroaches and a Kinect-based computer platform.

"In a collapsed building, sound is the best way to find survivors," Alper Bozkurt said in a press release. Bozkurt was the senior author on both papers.
 In order to accurately find the source of the sound, the team had to engineer two different kinds of biobots. The first type has one omnidirectional microphone that can pick up sound and transmit it back to first responders.
 The second type of cockroach backpack has three directional microphones. The computer chip analyzes the sound coming in from the microphone array, and will tell the biobot to move toward the source of the noise. Of course, the rubble of a collapsed building is going to have a cacophony of sounds, from the cries panicked survivors, to falling debris, to the sound of extraction tools.
 "The goal is to use the biobots with high-resolution microphones to differentiate between sounds that matter -- like people calling for help -- from sounds that don't matter -- like a leaking pipe," Bozkurt says. "Once we've identified sounds that matter, we can use the biobots equipped with microphone arrays to zero in on where those sounds are coming from."
The paper describing these acoustic sensors was presented on Wednesday at the IEEE Sensors 2014 conference in Valencia, Spain by lead author Eric Whitmire. The team has been able to successfully steer the biobots through sound in the lab, which you can see here:
The team presented a paper that detailed the invisible fence in August at the 36th Annual International IEEE EMBS Conference in Chicago. The fence can be seen in action here:

Once the biobots have successfully aided rescuers in locating survivors, nobody wants them to be able to run free and continue to chase down the next source of sound. The team has also designed an invisible fencing system that keeps the biobots in a specified zone. In addition to preventing the public panic that would ensue from a roaming band of rogue roach cyborgs, keeping the biobots in close proximity of one another allows their devices to connect and act as a mobile wireless network.

Rapist Got His Genital Hacked By Angry Mob In India

Picture yourself in the scene of a rape-in-progress situation. Would you be willing to do what needs to be done if you are witnessing a teenager that is about to get raped?

  

In Ganganagar, India, interfering is not enough – the offender deserves a punishment! 

Forty year old Suresh Kumar, was trapped by heated citizens after being distressed by a terrified scream from an alleyway. The mob took an action and successfully managed to stop the attempt. Furthermore, after a short argument, the angry mob decided to take the law into their hands and forced him into one of the butchers in the city.

 

What happened next is disturbing. They beat him with sticks for about an hour and then– cut off his family jewels using a meat cleaver. They throw the decapitated piece of him in the road and let Suresh Kumar’s bleeding body closely nearby.

 

Citizens in the said area seemed to concur with what the vigilantes did. Despite of the fact the authority has reminded everyone regarding to maintaining law and order, not one of the mobs courageous enough to claim responsible of alleged unpleasant incident. “We ask those men who carried out this attack to hand themselves in before we find them,” the authority warned.
