(120509) -- SHENYANG, May 9, 2012 (Xinhua) -- Pet dog nicknamed as Harry sits as its master fixes its wheelchair in Shenyang, capital of northeast China's Liaoning Province, May 8, 2012. For the strong will to live, a pet dog nicknamed as Harry of a community in Shenyang recently drew attention of many followers on Weibo, one of China's most popular microblogs. Harry's nerve was damaged when it was one-year-old as it took the bacterin, leaving problems for its hind legs. However, Harry's master, Wang Bingzhuo, found a specialist and made a wheelchair specially designed for Harry. Then Harry became a star among residents of local communities. And sometimes Wang Bingzhuo had to explain to people that he was not torturing the dog by attaching a wheelchair. Thanks to the love from its master, Harry received trainings and massages in case the muscle of the hind leges would shrink. Since April 20, 2012, the physical condition of Harry became worse and worse, and Wang Bingzhuo opened a Weibo account on the Internet, looking for help. Through the network, many followers offered their respect for Harry and its master's strong will. Some doctors of pet hospitals even offered a free acupuncture training session for Harry, which helped the lucky dog to recover. (Xinhua/Yao Jianfeng) (zhs)

Londons Metropolitan Police train to use Taser stun guns.
The Metropolitan Police's Territorial Support Group. Sgt Alun Jones demonstrates a Taser.
The Taser is an electroshock weapon that uses electrical current to disrupt voluntary control of muscles. Its manufacturer, Taser International, calls the effects "neuromuscular incapacitation" and the devices' mechanism "Electro-Muscular Disruption (EMD) technology". Someone struck by a Taser experiences stimulation of his / her sensory nerves and motor nerves, resulting in strong involuntary muscle contractions.There are two main police models, the M26 and X26. Taser International is also marketing a civilian model called the C2. Tasers were introduced as less-lethal weapons to be used by police to subdue fleeing, belligerent, or potentially dangerous subjects. The use of Tasers has become controversial following instances of Taser use that have resulted in serious injury and death,and while they are far less lethal than many other weapons, the U.N. are concerned that use of Tasers may amount to torture, and Amnesty International has reported cases where they believe that their use amounted to "cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment which is absolutely prohibited under international law".
