Bears and trampolines (7 photos + 1 video)

Posted in ANIMALS       2 Jul 2009       6570
An interesting incident took place a few days ago in States. A bear came on the backyard of one house and climbed a tree.
Barking dogs woke up the owners and when they saw the bear they didn’t know what to do, so they called the emergency service. Rescuers tranquilized it.
The bear fell asleep and fell on the trampoline and then on the ground. Then rescuers took it into the woods and released it )
After that, the trampoline wasn’t good for use anymore.

This car has attracted the attention of a big crowd in a Chinese city.
And I can understand, it is not every day that you can see something of this kind ... What do you think of that?

Manipulation of facts and the media (5 pics)

Posted in PICTURES       2 Jul 2009       9412
This advertising campaign is managed by the Brazilian media Sistema Jangadeiro that made these pictures with the slogan: It would be very easy to manipulate facts if it weren't for the media.
But in reality, it is precisely how the media distort the facts. I would say that it is rather advertising campaign fail ...
Look at the photos and their originals after the jump.

The process of silk-making (13 pics)

Posted in PICTURES       2 Jul 2009       34489
Silks are produced by several other insects, but only the silk of moth caterpillars has been used for textile manufacture.
Silk moths lay eggs on specially prepared paper. The eggs hatch and the caterpillars (silkworms) are fed fresh mulberry leaves. After about 35 days and 4 moltings, the caterpillars are 10,000 times heavier than when hatched, and are ready to begin spinning a cocoon. A straw frame is placed over the tray of caterpillars, and each caterpillar begins spinning a cocoon by moving its head. Two glands produce liquid silk and force it through openings in the head called spinnerets. Liquid silk is coated in sericin, a water-soluble protective gum, and solidifies on contact with the air. Within 2–3 days, the caterpillar spins about 1 mile of filament and is completely encased in a cocoon. The silk farmers then kill most caterpillars by heat (100 °C), leaving some to metamorphose into moths to breed the next generation of caterpillars.

He is a hero. A real superman in real life (7 pics)

Posted in PICTURES       2 Jul 2009       20569
A woman turned over in her boat in the swirling water at the base of a dam. She couldn’t get out and rescue boats couldn’t come near enough to pull her out.
Who do you think came into her rescue?... An ordinary guy, a construction worker saw her and without thinking he and his crew made a rescue operation involving a crane. The worker hung on the chains that were attached to the crane and then he was lowered to the water by the crane and could grab the woman’s hand and pulled her out.
Hats off to the real hero!!!

Dismissed workers of Triumph International ‘Philippines’ (a huge international underwear manufacturer) were holding and throwing bras and panties in the air in front of Department of Labour and Employment (DOLE) in Manila June 30, 2009. They organized this symbolic demonstration to protest against what they qualify as an “illegal and unjust closure of Triumph International Philippines.”
1600 workers were fired because of the closing of Triumph International operations in Philippines.
That’s an unusual and interesting way of protesting… See more pics after the jump.
