A Thai fireman turned superhero when he dressed up as comic-book character Spider-Man to coax a frightened eight-year-old from a balcony, police said last week.
Teachers at a special needs school in Bangkok called the fire service when an autistic pupil, scared of going to lessons, sat out on the third-floor ledge and refused to come inside, a police sergeant told AFP.
Despite teachers’ efforts to persuade the boy to go inside, he refused to move until his mother mentioned her son’s love of superheroes, prompting fireman Sonchai Yoosabai to take a new approach to the problem.

“My fireman rushed back to the fire station and took out his Spider-Man costume ... The boy immediately ran into his arms with a smile,” sergeant Virat Boonsadao said.
He said the fireman keeps the costume at work to liven up school fire drills.

泰國警方上週表示，一名消防隊員打扮成漫畫人物「蜘蛛人」，哄騙一名害怕的八歲男童離開陽台。
一名警察小隊長對法新社表示，曼谷某特教學校的一名自閉症學童因害怕上課，坐在三樓窗台邊不願下來，老師們只好打電話請消防隊幫忙。
儘管老師們力勸他下來，他卻不肯配合，後來他母親提到兒子很喜歡超級英雄，消防隊員宋嘉．佑沙拜才想到用這種新奇的方法來解決問題。
小隊長威拉特．邦薩道說：「我的隊員立刻跑回消防局拿他的蜘蛛人戲服…這名男孩立刻笑著撲向他的懷中。」
他說，這位消防隊員放這套服裝在局裡，是要作為炒熱學校消防演習氣氛之用。

Pigs that are resistant to a deadly viral disease have been created by scientists at Edinburgh’s Roslin Institute. The gene-edited animals remained healthy when exposed to classical swine fever (CSF), a highly contagious and often fatal disease. The virus was eradicated in the UK in 1966, but there have been several outbreaks since and it continues to pose a major threat to pig farming worldwide. “Classical swine fever is a devastating disease for livestock and farmers as we saw with the outbreak in the UK, 25 years ago,” said Helen Crooke, mammalian virology deputy leader at the Animal and Plant Health Agency
The stress of a long workday was really weighing Sarah down, and she felt the urgent need to get away. The moment the thought of escape crossed her mind, her fingers flew to the keyboard and typed “travel destinations.” Later, while she was casually scrolling through her social media, she was met with a flood of travel ads. There were lots of options, such as a serene hideaway in Kyoto and a luxurious beach villa in Bali, each perfectly echoing her desire. This is the magic of the recommender system at work.
