Arnold Schwarzenegger got chased by an elephant
while on a trip to South Africa.
The actor shared the experience on social media,
imploring people to stop killing the animals for ivory
and "take a photo, not a shot"

A seven-year-old Japanese boy who went missing
for nearly a week after his parents briefly left him in
remote woods as punishment has been found safe
and well.
How did Yamato Tanooka survive and find shelter,
and how much of a danger were the bears that live
in the region?
How did he come to be on his own?
Yamato's parents had briefly left him by a wooded
road near Nanae in Hokkaido region to punish him
for throwing rocks on a family day out. When they
went back minutes later he had gone.
He was dressed in only a T-shirt and jeans, in an
area where temperatures can dip as low as 9C at
night.
"It's been colder than it usually is at this time of
year," Ross Findlay, founder of the Niseko
Adventure Centre in the region, told the BBC.
"We've had snow on top of the mountain in Niseko,
though that might not have been the case of Nanae,
which is further south. But for a small boy who
doesn't have much body fat, that's a problem."
What is the terrain like in the area?
The remote region is densely forested, with oak and
birch trees and heavy undergrowth.
"The undergrowth in the forest is made up of a thing
called Sasa," said Mr Findlay.
"It's like bamboo but quite thick and very hard to
get through, so it's a lot different to what other
countries might think of forest.
"It's too hard to walk through so not many people
wander into the woods. You really need to be on
some kind of trail otherwise you just can't get
anywhere.
"Especially for a small boy if he's lying on the
ground with dense undergrowth, it can be very hard
to find."
The search was also hampered by heavy rains.
How did he find shelter?
Yamato appears to have been both lucky and
sensible.
He was discovered at a military base on Friday,
about 5.5km (3.4 miles) from where he went
missing last Saturday.
The site had allegedly already been searched on
Monday morning, but the boy was not found, the .
The search team comprised of 180 people and
search dogs.
The soldier who found Tanooka had not been part of
any previous rescue efforts, AP reports.
Yamato told police he had walked to the military
base by himself soon after his parents left him.
"I drank water to get by," he reportedly said. "There
wasn't anything to eat."
He slept on mattresses spread on the hut floor.
Could he have found food in the woods?
It's very unlikely at this time of year, according to
David Niehoff, president of Kanto Adventures.
"Spring is just getting started so things are just
starting to come out of the ground," he said.
"Local knowledge is also necessary to know what
to eat safely because there are poisonous plants
growing too, but in general there's not a lot of wild
food."
The streams around Japan are generally safe to
drink from, but certain streams in the mountains of
Hokkaido carry a parasite that makes it essential to
boil water before drinking, says Mr Niehoff.
However it would have been safe to drink from a
tap like the one the boy found.
How is he doing now?
Doctors at the hospital where he is being treated
say he has only minor injuries, but was suffering
slightly from hypothermia.
Not having food "would have caused him to run
even lower on energy which would have put him in
greater danger", said Mr Findlay.
What about those bears?
Hokkaido is also home to brown bears, which can
be as big as 2m high (6ft 5in), but they weren't
necessarily a threat.
"The bears generally kept to their own, so it's
actually better to make more noise so they are
aware of your presence, which makes them likely to
go the other way," said Mr Findlay.
"They can usually get quite hostile if you surprise
them instead."
What would be the best advice to a child lost in the
forest?
"Stay dry, stay warm and stay put," says Mr
Niehoff. "It's much harder to be found if you're
moving about, people can be more easily found
from their last known location."
However, Mr Findlay added in the boy's
circumstances, he had acted in the best possible
way.
"He found himself shelter, water, and something to
keep himself warm so I don't think you can do too
much from that," he told the BBC. "It's quite a
miracle really after six days."

Woman who lives in £700,000 house & earns
£200k a year says she's 'struggling to get by'

An executive who earns £200,000 a year with her
husband has caused uproar after claiming they
are struggling to get by. Nisha Sharma, 45, lives in
a £700,000 house in Croydon with Ashish, 49, and
their four-year-old daughter.
‘In theory, with our household income, we
are in the top 5% of the UK population and
yet it does not feel that way,’ she told the
Financial Times.
'If you’re earning millions of pounds, then you’re
OK – and at the other end of the spectrum you get
everything paid for. We are caught in the middle
where we are paying for everything.’ One
commenter on the Financial Times' article, by the
alias Inequal7, writes:
The maths ruins the story. Gross [income] =
£200k Net annual = £130k Net monthly = £10,800
One child’s school fees = £15,000 (generous,
given her child is four) One mortgage on a £700k
house, 10% deposit at 3% = £3,000 (generous,
given interest rate is possible at 1.5%) So even
with that there is £6,600 per month left Say £600
for bills… which leaves £6,000 a month. Even in
London this is enough to live on.
Trust Twitter, users also came for the woman..

Innovation

The Bios Incube is an incubator that monitors and
cultivates trees from human ashes.

Instead of keeping a departed loved one's ashes in
an urn over the fireplace, why not breathe new life
into them, in the form of a tree that can sit in your
living room or outside on your porch? A new gadget
helps you nurture life from ashes, and regardless of
how green your thumbs are, it offers a way to keep
loved ones close after they die.
The Bios Incube, created by the company Bios Urn,
is an incubator that monitors and cultivates trees
from human ashes in people's homes. The
company says the invention allows people to return
the deceased to life through nature, creating a living
reminder of that person.
"When someone dies, they physically die, but the
people who are around the deceased person still
remember," said Roger Moliné, co-founder of Bios
Urn. [Top 10 Weird Ways We Deal with the Dead]
The Bios Incube is a sleek, white plant pot that
measures 2.5 feet (76 centimeters) tall and about 1
foot (33 cm) in diameter. The Bios Incube works
with the Bios Urn, a biodegradable urn, and an
accompanying mobile application. Although the Bios
Urn has been available for more than a year, the
Bios Incube is a new product designed for people
who want to keep their trees close instead of
planting them in a forest, Moliné told Live Science.
The Bios Urn is a relatively small cylindrical
package with the seed and soil sitting on top of the
ashes. The entire Bios Urn sits in the upper half of
the Bios Incube and is supported from the bottom
and around by soil. The Bios Urn is made of paper,
carbon and cellulose . Once it decomposes, the
ashes mix with the soil and roots of the tree, Moliné
said.
The outer circumference of the Bios Incube,
separated from the soil by a barrier, is a water tank
that holds up to 3 gallons (11.4 liters) of water.
There is a water pump on the bottom of the Bios
Incube and a sensor and sprinkler at the top. Water
enters through a slot toward the rim of the Bios
Incube, according to the company.
The sensor and sprinkler sit on top of the soil. The
sensor monitors soil moisture , to make sure the
tree gets the right amount of water; soil
conductivity, to make sure the tree has enough
fertilizer; and soil temperature, to make sure the
soil maintains a consistent temperature, Moliné
said. The sensor also monitors environmental
conditions, such as sunlight exposure, temperature
and humidity, he added.
The sensor is preprogramed to know what type of
tree it is monitoring — for instance, whether it's a
pine or maple. This means the device knows the
exact moment the tree needs to be watered, Moliné
said. Over- and under-watering are typically the
main issues that affect tree growth, Moliné said, so
the Bios Incube combines collected data from its
sensors to determine when to water the tree. When
the device detects dryness, the water pump
automatically works to hydrate the soil. The Bios
Incube's storage capacity of 3 gallons of water lasts
20 days on average, according to the company.
The sensor wirelessly transmits all its collected
data through Wi-Fi to an application that can be
accessed on a smartphone. The sensor can also
use the internet to retrieve weather data to
determine whether the plant should or should not be
left outside, Moliné said, or whether a plant should
be moved from one room to another.
The tree can stay in its pot or be planted in a forest,
Moliné said. "If we keep a tree in a flower pot, the
tree doesn't grow indefinitely," he said. If the tree is
removed from the Bios Incubator and planted in the
forest, the Bios Incube can be reused to plant
another tree, Moliné said, even if the seed and soil
don't come from the Bios Urn. The Bios Incube
uses an ordinary soil mixture of coco peat, made
from coconut husks, and vermiculite, a mineral
used to retain water, the company said.
Bios Urn has received positive feedback from its
users and the company maintains close
relationships with its customers, Moliné said. The
Bios Incube ran a Kickstarter campaign that raised
more than $83,000, about $15,000 over their goal of
$68,000, to market the Bios Incube. The Bios
Incube is expected to ship out to early backers of
the crowdfunding campaign in November, with the
rest of the shipments estimated for March 2017.
