Three-year-old trapped in borewell Near Agra
A three-year-old girl Vandana fell into a 45-feet deep borewell at a village near Agra. Vandana fell into the borewell in Hulaspura village while playing with her father, police said. Rescue operations are underway with the police, Army and locals trying to get to Vandana.
"The girl fell into the pit last night. The estimated depth of the pit is 35-40 feet and a parallel one of the same dimension is being dug besides it to rescue the girl," Kamal Saxena, deputy inspector general of Agra, said.
Food and oxygen are being supplied to the girl through ropes from the surface, they said. Sources said the Army was called in to help, after efforts by the locals to rescue the girl failed.
Vandana has been in the borewell for more than 14 hours now.
UPDATE

The district administration, with the help of army jawans from 509 Base Workshop, scooped out soil from earth all night to reach her. The rescuers dug a parallel pit nearly 10 feet from the borewell to reach the child and then dug a tunnel to reach Vandana.
Mobile Phone with Feeling
The technology that makes cellphones vibrate when people make a mistake while typing may help cut typing errors in touch-screen phones like the iPhone that lack the tactile feedback provided by a keyboard.
Researchers at the University of Glasgow in the UK claim that they can expel complications in touch screen phones by using actuators like those that used in cellphones to give a feeling of a keyboard.
Software called VibeTonz made by Immersion of San Jose, California, can get an actuator to move in different ways, such as smoothly or jerkily.
Corporations like - Samsung and LG, which make touch-screen phones, use this to provide rudimentary 'haptic' feedback when a button is pressed, but according to Stephen Brewster, the study's lead author, phones can do much more.
A single pulse 30 milliseconds long gives the feeling of a button being clicked, while sliding a finger from one button to another prompts a half-second long buzz, providing a 'rough' feeling that tells the user they've strayed to another key.
Sliding the finger across a button causes the buzz to be ramped up and then down, giving the feel of a round button.
Online Miss Bimbo game made parents worried
A new internet game called 'The Miss Bimbo', which enables young girls to give plastic surgery to virtual characters and feed them diet pills, has become a matter of concern for parents.
Girls, as young as nine, can been seen taking interest in the game, and competing against other players in beauty contests to earn money, so that they can dress their characters in lingerie and take them to nightclubs.
"(To become) the coolest, richest and most famous bimbo in the whole world" is what the aim of the game is.
A player has to keep the character at a target weight with the help of diet pills.
The players have to work the missions given to them, which include securing plastic surgery to give their "bimbo" bigger breasts, and finding a billionaire boyfriend to bankroll her while keeping a constant check on her hunger, thirst, happiness and other statistics.
Since its launch a month ago, the game has earned about 200,000 players in Britain to date. Most of these players are girls aged between nine to 16.
Once a players runs out of virtual cash, the contestant can send text messages costing 1.50 pounds each to top up their accounts.
While French dieticians and parents have condemned the sister website in France, the game's creators claim it is "harmless fun".
The game's developers also say that it builds on the success of Barbie, the Bratz dolls and Tamagotchis, the virtual pets invented in Japan.
Now A Pill which can help women conceive
For decades, women have been using the pill to not get pregnant. However, for women who do want a baby but are finding it difficult to conceive, the very same contraceptive may be a boon, say researchers at Tel Aviv University.
On a study conducted on 1,800 women at the Infertility and IVF Unit at the Helen Schneider Hospital for Women, Rabin Medical Centre, researchers led by Dr. Haim Pinkas, found that a two-week intervention treatment using a standard low-dose birth control pill can help time egg harvesting – making the in vitro fertilisation (IVF) more convenient for doctor and patient.
According to clinicians, the ability to time the IVF process is also crucial to successfully conceiving.

She wanted to make a reference to her favourite two films with the name, but added her own take on them too.”
