3D Cat A mour

Have you ever watched your cat go into battle with a bird, or been concerned by the late night travels of your cat? Have you ever listened to your beloved cat scrapping with the neighbour's cat? Well.... the latest in feline inventions is for you, and your cat!

With a 3D printer and the internet, you can make your very own cat armour. Created by Print That Thing, the instructions have been uploaded to Thingiverse. One eager cat protector has trialled the pattern using ABS filament and jewellery hoops, and he was thrilled with the result.

 

 

 


Boy sends letters to every country - and gets replies

When eight-year-old Toby started writing letters to people in other countries three years ago, he didn't expect to get many replies. He just wanted to find out about how people in other countries lived.

Since then he has received more than six hundred replies from people all over the world telling him what life is like in their country. Toby has been showing his letters to the media.

 


 

 


Google makes animal noises

Google searching now extends to making animal noises.

Searching for 'what noise does a [animal] make' and you will now get results featuring a short audio sample of the animal in question, ranging from your standard farmyard animals to the more exotic bowhead whale and elephant. Alternatively, try searching 'animal noises' for one of the sounds at random.

It might be intended as an educational tool for children, but is possibly more likely to be a time waster!The selection of animals is fairly limited, with the range limited to 19. The zebra and (rather disgruntled) cat noises are particular highlights.

Google is famous for its hidden search features. Typing 'do a barrel roll' into the search engine and Google will oblige, while searching for Pacman will result in a special playable version of the game.

But, there's still no answer to What Does The Fox Say

 


11-year-old lemonade maker

Have you ever made your own lemonade to sell at the end of your driveway to get some money?

Well, 11-year-old Mikaila Ulmer from USA has landed a multi-million dollar deal with Whole Foods!

Her 'Bee Sweet' lemonade is to be sold in 55 of their US stores.

The young entrepreneur uses the mint, flaxseed and honey lemonade recipe she inherited from her great-grandmother, and gives a portion of her products to foundations that rescue bees.

She calls herself a 'Bee Ambassador' and first found fame with her product on ABC's Shark Tank, where she secured a $60,000 investment from the show.

Mikaila came up with the idea for the lemonade when she was just four-years-old, when after she was stung twice, she investigated why they sting and was intrigued by their integral role in the ecosystem.

The entrepreneur took part in local competitions until she landed a place on Shark Tank. Since then, she's served lemonade to Barack Obama, and has won several awards including the African American Harvest Foundation Story Changer award.
