Concorde has risen again - in the form of a cloud snapped by an amateur photographer in North Yorkshire. The photo is of a lenticular cloud, sightings of which the Met Office said were suspected to be behind many reported UFOs. The "truly spectacular" snap was taken by Thomas Beresford above the Ribblehead viaduct on Friday. BBC weather expert Paul Hudson said the natural phenomenon was technically called a roll cloud and was quite rare. "In this instance it's caused by air flowing over the top of Whernside from the east, creating effectively a stationary type of lenticular cloud - the shape and size of which is dependent on the wavelength of the stationary wave," he said. Could Concorde ever fly again? The lens-shaped clouds form when the air is stable and winds blow from the same direction. BBC Look North weather presenter Abbie Dewhurst was certainly impressed by the photograph. "Wow, it does look like Concorde - not that I have too many memories of it, being only 10 when it stopped flying," she said. The supersonic plane was involved in a crash in France in 2000 that killed 109 people onboard and four on the ground. It was retired in 2003 by British Airways and Air France who decommissioned it for "commercial reasons" amid declining passenger numbers.

Tyson Fury has accepted the challenge issued by world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua following the Londoner's title victory over Wladimir Klitschko. Joshua, who stopped the Ukrainian in the 11th round at Wembley, immediately called out fellow Briton Fury, who beat Klitschko on points in November 2015. "Fury, where you at, baby?" he asked. "I know he's been talking, I want to give 90,000 a chance to see us." Fury, who has not fought since beating Klitschko, replied: "Let's dance." Joshua is now unbeaten in 19 fights, with all his victories coming inside the distance. The 27- year-old's win in front of a post-war British record 90,000 fans at the national stadium added the WBA belt to his IBF strap. Fury, 28, is also unbeaten as a professional, with 18 knockouts in 25 fights, but surrendered his world heavyweight titles in an effort to focus on his mental health problems and is currently without a boxing licence and out of condition. However, he remains active on social media and indicated he wants to return, judging by his reply on Twitter to Joshua's calls from the ring. "Challenge accepted," Fury wrote. "We will give the world the biggest fight in 500 years. I will play with you. You are a boxer's dream. "Well done Anthony Joshua. Good fight. You had life and death with Klitschko and I played with the guy. Let's dance."

[b][/b] The US has carried out a missile attack against targets in Syria in response to a suspected chemical weapons attack on a rebel-held town. A Pentagon official said about 50 Tomahawk cruise missiles were fired from US Navy destroyers in the eastern Mediterranean at a Syrian air base. In a televised address, President Donald Trump said the base was where Tuesday's attack was launched from. He called on "all civilised nations" to help end the conflict in Syria. Dozens of civilians, including many children, died in the suspected nerve gas attack on the town of Khan Sheikhoun in Idlib province. Cold war brewing.....

The oval-shaped 59.6 carat stone was bought after just five minutes' bidding at Sotheby's, reports said. It is the largest polished diamond in its class to go under the hammer. It sold for $83m in Geneva in 2013 but the buyer later defaulted. The record until now was held by the Oppenheimer Blue, which sold for $50m last May. Bidding for the gem, which was found by De Beers at a mine in Africa in 1999 and cut over a period of two years, began at $56m. Sotheby's said the buyer was Hong Kong jewellery retailer Chow Tai Fook Jewellery. Alexander Breckner, head of diamonds at jewellers "77 Diamonds", told the BBC that the stone was exceptional. "It's the largest pink diamond ever found in the history of humankind. It's an incredible colour to it. "And the sheer size of the stone already makes it so rare and so beautiful."

barely 24hrs after voting commenced Efe is already ahead on the online poll getting 50% of the votes already, if his followers can follow up with their vote by really voting the proper way then i think he can pull through, as the online vote is just to giv ppl a view of how the actual vote is going-on so as to be able to speculate who's ahead, but sometimes can be catastrophic as some people will feel he is already ahead and wont bother to vote thinking he is actually ahead

FTC, pls like if you want EFE to win the show come next week sunday, its nt even abt Efe wininng anymore, cos he sure will...its abt giving dem a showdown of who's d boss in the house when he gets 70% of the votes, guys leys do it for him #team #Efenation

Biko OP no vex o, but how is this different from our normal giant house rats?
Don't forget lassa fever is in town

this ones are way bigger in size compared to the rats yu see at home, they leave in burrows.Giant pouched rats are only distantly related
to the true rats, though they were until
recently placed in the family Muridae.Recent molecular studies, however, place
them in the family Nesomyidae , part of an
ancient radiation of African and Malagasy
muroids

In Tanzanian, a social enterprise founded by two Belgians, APOPO, trains Gambian pouched rats to detect land mines and tuberculosis with their highly developed sense of smell. The trained pouched rats are called HeroRATS . The rats are cheaper to train than mine-detecting dogs; a rat requires $7,300 for nine months of training, whereas a dog costs about $25,000 for training. [6] Currently studies are being conducted in various countries about the best ways to train these rats, and determine their abilities and limits to detecting mines.

Reports last week uncovered widespread photo sharing by current and former marines on Facebook, triggering a navy investigation. The Pentagon said such behaviour was "inconsistent" with its values. Male service members use a message board on anonymous image hosting website Anon-IB to share nude images of their female counterparts. They often first post clothed photos of female personnel taken from their social media pages, and ask if any members have nude photos, which they call "wins". Others then post photos Those posting sometimes provide names and other details of women, including where they are stationed. Lewd comments accompany many posts. The behaviour previously reported was confined to marines on Facebook. A Facebook group called Marines United with 30,000 members was recently closed down after the scandal erupted. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-39227547
