Lenticular Clouds, Mount Fuji, Japan
Cloud that looks like a flying saucer appears in Japan. It’s just a lenticular cloud, dangerous for planes
After the recent stunning image of U.S. C-130 Hercules cargo planes flying near the Mount Fuji, here’s another interesting thing spotted near the highest mountain in Japan.
Although it may seem like some sort of cloacking device used to hide an alien spacecraft, the hat-shaped cloud, called “tsurushi-gumo” (Japanese for “hanging cloud”) is just a rare kind of cloud that appeared on Jun. 20 around the Fuji after a strong typhoon hit Japan.
The weird looking cloud is just a lenticular cloud, that disappered after about 30 minutes.
Lenticular clouds (especially those smaller than the one filmed near Mount Fuji) are very well known to pilots that tend to avoid them because of the turbulence of the rotor systems that accompany them.
In 1966, BOAC Flight 911, a Boeing 707 on a round-the-world flight, crashed near Mount Fuji after it suddenly encountered abnormally severe turbulence which imposed a gust load well above the design limit.

Penguins can convert salt water into fresh water
Penguins are born with a gland which is close to their beaks, when they drink the saltwater from the sea the water goes through the gland and the salt
gets kept in that gland. When the gland is full of salt the penguin
goes onto a rock and knocks his beak against it and all the salt empties
out and the penguin can start drinking again.

World's Youngest GrandFather aged 29 years
An
unemployed man, 29, has become one of Britain's youngest grandparents
after his daughter gave birth at 14. Shem Davies and his former
girlfriend Kelly John, 30, were overjoyed when their daughter Tia, who
was born when her parents were 15, gave birth to little Gracie earlier
this month.
Tia's boyfriend, Jordan Williams, is 15. Shem said: 'It is an absolute joy to see Gracie thriving. I'm incre
Tia's boyfriend, Jordan Williams, is 15. Shem said: 'It is an absolute joy to see Gracie thriving. I'm incre
dibly
proud of Tia. She'll be a brilliant mum. At first I wasn't overly
pleased that she was pregnant but I soon got over than. Now it's all
about being positive. I've got to know Jordan and he's shaping up to be a
decent young man,' Shem told The People. However, nurses at the
maternity unit were left embarrassed after they thought the young
grandfather was in fact the teenage father of Gracie. Apparently when he
entered the ward they thought the 29-year-old looked so fresh-faced
they asked him to prove he was over the age of 16. But the arrival of
Gracie wasn't easy as Tia was diagnosed with pre-eclampsia, seven weeks
before her due date.
Worried doctors decided their best option would be to deliver the tot by Caesarean section. The condition, which often leaves expectant mothers with high blood pressure and protein in their urine, could lead to life-threatening symptoms for both mother and baby.
Tia said the contrast between the carefree fun of the school playground and then the fear of death for her and the baby was something she would never forget. Happily after a 25 minute operation Gracie was born but only weighed 2lb and was rushed to the special care unit at the Princess of Wales Hospital in Bridgend, which is close to the family home. Little Gracie is still being kept in an incubator but has managed to put on enough weight which means she will be allowed home in a few weeks.
A week after Gracie was born Tia celebrated her 15th birthday in the ward surrounded by friends and family. The teenager, who has been dating Jordan for 18 months and wants to be a hairdresser, said she didn't plan on celebrating her birthday in hospital but added that her baby daughter was the best present she could ask for.
Once mother and daughter have been released from hospital they will be staying with grandmother Kelly so that Tia can finish school. Grandad Shem, who has a young son of his own, said he is keen to get stuck in and help Tia and Jordan settle into life. Jordan, who sat his final GCSE just weeks before Gracie arrived, said he understands responsibility. 'I'm captain of the school rugby team and that's like having 14 kids.'
Despite her young age, mother Tia says that she would not be happy if newborn Gracie became pregnant at 14 but that she would do as her mum did, which is respect her choice to have a child. She also paid tribute to her mother, who was 15 when she was born, saying that she could not have wished for a better parent and role model adding that they have a very close relationship.
Britain's high teenage pregnancy rate means that many more young people in this generation are set to become grandparents in their late twenties and early thirties. The latest figures show in 2009 38,259 girls under 18 became pregnant, but nearly 50 per cent had a termination. The UK still leads the way when it comes to young mothers, and our rate is five-times higher than in the Netherlands and twice that of France and Spain.

132 year old lady
Possibly the last person on the planet who knew the taste of the air in 1880 has died.
Antisa Khvichava, who claimed to be 132 years old, was enjoying her 47th year of retirement in Sachino, a remote village in the former Soviet republic of
Antisa Khvichava, who claimed to be 132 years old, was enjoying her 47th year of retirement in Sachino, a remote village in the former Soviet republic of
Georgia, when she
passed away, according to a British newspaper, the Independent. If she
was as old as she said, Khvichava would've been the oldest person to
ever live.
Though a birth certificate and passport indicate Khvichava was born July 8, 1880, they are replacements of documents she had lost over the years, raising skepticism over her claim.
But science can't rule out her feat absolutely. If there's a maximum possible human age, it hasn't been found yet.
In 1798, the then-oldest verified person died at 103, according to the Gerontology Research Group. In 1997, France's Jeanne Calment, the current verified oldest, died at 122. [Infographic: Global Life Expectancy]
If Kvichava did, indeed, walk the Earth for well over a century, what did she do right?
Based on current science, the answer might be that, other than avoiding obvious physical threats, she didn't do much to earn her longevity.
Researchers at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University showed last year that, among a studied population of people older than 95, bad health habits such as smoking, drinking, poor diet and lack of exercise were about as common as in the general population, meaning their longevity seemed to be largely based on genes.
But this does not mean the general population should abandon healthy living and adopt a doctrine of genetic fatalism. Rather, that study and others suggest longevity outliers like Kvichava, a reported daily brandy drinker, have rare genetic protections that transcend unhealthy habits, propelling them into very old age in spite of lifestyle.
For people who aren't prepared to take a gamble that they're genetically predisposed to break 100 (the 2010 Census counted 53,364 centenarians in the United States), the famously abstemious and healthy-living Seventh-Day Adventists seem to hint at a practical regimen for increasing lifespan.
Studies by Dr. Gary Fraser, of Loma Linda University's school of medicine, and colleagues have linked the Seventh-Day Adventists' unusually long lives to exercise, a high incidence of vegetarianism, abstinence from smoking, and frequent consumption of nuts.
Superstitious seekers of longevity also have the option of moving to a place called Georgia. When Kvichava died, she passed the torch for the oldest living person to 116-year-old Besse Cooper in the United States' Georgia.
Cooper's birthday is verified to be Aug. 26, 1896.

The First Laptop Computer
The first laptop computer
Released in 1981 by the Osborne Computer Corporation, the Osborne 1 is considered to be the first true portable computer – it closes-up for protection, and has a carrying handle. It even has an optional battery pack, so it doesn’t have to plugged into the 110VAC outlet for power.
While quite revolutionary, the Osborne does have its limitations. For example, the screen is only 5″ (diagonal) in size, and can’t display more than 52 characters per line of text. To compensate, you can actually scroll the screen display back and forth with the cursor keys to show lines of text up to 128 characters wide.
The Osborne was designed with transportation in mind – it had to be rugged and able to survive being moved about. That’s one reason that the screen is so small – a larger and heavier screen would be more susceptable to damage.
The two pockets beneath the floppy drives work great for floppy disk storage, although the Osborne modem also fits perfectly in the the left pocket and plugs into the front-mounted “modem” port.
Designed as a true portable computer system – it can be considered airline carry-on luggage, and it will fit under the passenger seat of any commercial airliner

When Kang Mangru abdomen was seen protruding day by day. she was taken to hospital for ultrasound after which the doctors were amazed to find a baby in the womb the child’s twin brother.
Doctors say that the embryo was not caught in the womb and has found another place to grow.
Mangru will undergo a cesarean delivery.such cases “Foetus in Foetus” is very rare and can be found one in every 500,0000 pregnancy.
