[h=3]New study identifies elephant poaching hotspots in Africa[/h]Investigators who collected DNA from the tusks of slain elephants and painstakingly looked for matches in the vast African continent have identified two large areas where the slaughter has been occurring on an industrial scale, according to a study published on Thursday. The two areas are Tanzania in the east and a cross-border region encompassing several nations in the central-western part of Africa. Samuel Wasser, an author of the study published in the journal Science, said he hopes the study will focus law enforcement efforts and increase international pressure on host countries to crack down on poaching, but he acknowledged the challenge.

[h=3]Kung Fu Panda 3 Trailer: It’s Bigger And Better With More Pandas![/h]The official first trailer of the third installment from the hit animated film series Kung Fu Panda is finally out! Filled with charisma and amazing sense of humour offered by every character in the film, Kung Fu Panda 3 will see lead character Po finally reunited with his family. DreamWorks Animations have once again given us a very impressive film to look forward to and looking at its first trailer, its needless to say how eagerly everyone’s waiting to catch more glimpses of Po’s new family! The first two chapters of the film saw Po the panda voiced by Jack Black becoming the dragon warrior under master Shifu’s guidance. After making us believe that Po’s parents are dead, the film ended by giving us a glimpse of an entire panda clan living far off in another village.

Why do people have to bring caste in everything everybody does everyday???

[h=3]Dalit brothers, who cracked IIT, were tormented for their caste[/h]The ordeals faced by the two dalit brothers, Brijesh and Raju, who cracked the IIT, throws light on the evils of caste based discrimination in our country. The two dalit boys might have set an example for many youngsters by cracking the IIT entrance test, but when they returned home victorious, stones were pelted at their house just because they belonged to a backward caste. Revealing how they had struggled to study, the boys told Times Of India that people used to make fun of them when they expressed a desire for education. Raju Saroj secured 167th rank and his elder brother Brijesh secured 410th rank at the IIT exams.

[h=3]Sixth mass extinction has begun and humans could be among victims | Latest News & Updates at Daily News & Analysis[/h]Researchers have declared that we are entering a mass extinction that threatens humanity's existence. Scientists call for fast action to conserve threatened species, populations and habitat, but warn that the window of opportunity is rapidly closing. The Stanford University study shows that even with extremely conservative estimates, species are disappearing up to about 100 times faster than the normal rate between mass extinctions, known as the background rate. Lead author Gerardo Ceballos said that if it is allowed to continue, life would take many millions of years to recover, and our species itself would likely disappear early on.

Yoga binds the mind and the body of the person
and not any religion with the mind of the person!

[h=3]Yoga is Devoid of Religion: Mohanlal[/h]KOCHI: In a comment posted in his blog supporting yoga on the International Yoga Day, actor Mohanlal has raised concern over the trend of mixing religion with yoga. “It makes one downhearted to see the controversies, which are powerful enough to malign the society, that propped up when yoga was included in the curriculum with the intention of spreading its scope,” he said. The actor posted that as an Indian he was proud that the world had started accepting yoga, though late, which is a scientific plan for life developed by the ancient sages of the land, much before the advent of the concepts of the State, political parties or even religion and religious leaders. “The words of Swami Vivekananda that ‘India will be a trailblazer to the world, and has to be one,’ is turning into a reality.
