Asperitas (cloud)

Asperitas (formerly known as Undulatus asperatus) is a cloud formation, proposed in 2009 as a separate cloud classification by the founder of the Cloud Appreciation Society. If successful it will be the first cloud formation added since cirrus intortus in 1951 to the International Cloud Atlas of the World Meteorological Organization.^[2] The name translates approximately as "roughness".^[3]

The clouds are most closely related to undulatus clouds.^[3] Although they appear dark and storm-like, they tend to dissipate without a storm forming.^[4] The ominous-looking clouds have been particularly common in the Plains states of the United States, often during the morning or midday hours following convective thunderstorm activity.^[5] As of June 2009 the Royal Meteorological Society is gathering evidence of the type of weather patterns in which asperitas clouds appear, so as to study how they form and decide whether they are distinct from other undulatus clouds.^{[3][4]-read more}

in memory of Freddie Mercury

Freddie Mercury (born Farrokh Bulsara; 5 September 1946 – 24 November 1991) was a British singer, songwriter and record producer, known as the lead vocalist and co-principal songwriter of the rock band Queen. He also became known for his flamboyant stage persona and four-octave vocal range.^[3][4][5] Mercury wrote and composed numerous hits for Queen (including "Bohemian Rhapsody," "Killer Queen," "Somebody to Love," "Don't Stop Me Now," "Crazy Little Thing Called Love," and "We Are the Champions"); occasionally served as a producer and guest musician (piano or vocals) for other artists; and concurrently led a solo career while performing with Queen.

Mercury was born of Parsi descent in the Sultanate of Zanzibar and grew up there and in India until his mid-teens, before moving with his family to Middlesex, England — ultimately forming the band Queen in 1970 with Brian May and Roger Taylor. Mercury died in 1991 at age 45 due to complications from AIDS, having acknowledged the day before his death that he had contracted the disease.

In 1992 Mercury was posthumously awarded the Brit Award for Outstanding Contribution to British Music, with a tribute concert held at Wembley Stadium, London. As a member of Queen, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2001, the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2003, the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2004, and the band received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2002. In 2002, he was placed at number 58 in the BBC's poll of the 100 Greatest Britons. Consistently voted one of the greatest singers in the history of popular music, Mercury was voted best male singer of all time in a 2005 poll organised by Blender and MTV2;^[6] was elected in 2009 as the best rock singer of all time by Classic Rock readers;^[7] was ranked at 18 on the 2008 Rolling Stone list of the 100 greatest singers ever;^[5] — and was described by Greg Prato of AllMusic as "one of rock's greatest all-time entertainers," with "one of the greatest voices in all of music."^{[8]-wiki link-}

Unseen HG Wells ghost story published for first time

Here’s a gothic tale for a stormy night: a man called Meredith converts a room in his house into a cluttered and untidy study, and one day asks a visiting friend if he can see anything strange on the ceiling.

“Don’t you see it?” he said.
“See what?”
“The – thing. The woman.”
I shook my head and looked at him.
“All right then,” he said abruptly. “Don’t see it!”

This is the beginning of a newly discovered HG Wells ghost story, called The Haunted Ceiling, a macabre tale found in an archive that Wells scholars say they have never seen before. It will be published for the first time this week, in the Strand magazine.

The story was discovered when Andrew Gulli, editor of the Strand, heard that the University of Illinois held a substantial archive of Wells’s works. He promptly hired an assistant to photocopy hundreds of manuscripts and sorted through them to see if he could find something new.

“Initially, from the titles of the manuscripts, I thought I happened upon lots of unpublished works, but those thousands of pages were narrowed down to this delightful story,” Gulli told the Guardian.

He called it “a vintage Wells story – you have a supernatural event, characters with two schools of thought on the event, [and] the literary type versus the scientist. This reminds me of his story The Red Room, but we have a more of a -read more

Firefighters help rhino at Edinburgh Zoo with toothache

Firefighters have described "one of the strangest" rescue missions of their careers - helping a rhino at Edinburgh Zoo with a toothache. 

Newcraighall fire station's crew were needed to move two-ton Bertus to a safe place in which vets could operate.

The eight-year-old animal was first sedated and then winched to safety in a challenging and complicated process.

Station manager Willie Pollard said: "By jointly working with zoo staff, we were able to formulate a plan which involved winching and pulling equipment, using techniques normally used for either road traffic collisions involving heavy vehicles or in the event of a building collapse.

"These techniques allowed us to reposition the animal, thereby creating a safe working space for the dental team to repair the tooth."

Simon Girling, head vet at the zoo, said: "We are incredibly grateful for the help of the fire and rescue crew.

"Bertus's operation was a great success and even though it was a minor tooth operation, it involved a massive team of people all working -read more

INVASION OF THE GIANT RATS

GIANT mutant rats the size of cats have left residents living in fear after invading an entire row of terraced homes.

More than a dozen homes have been plagued by the massive, foot-long rodents which have been scurrying through gardens and lofts.Mum-of-three Melissa Gillingham is terrified that the huge beasts, which are known to spread disease, may bite her young children.

The huge rats’ sudden appearance are believed to have been caused by a mains water supply leak in the road, in Northfleet, Kent.

Melissa, 23, said: “About two weeks ago we first noticed it. We started hearing them scurrying around when we were in bed.

“When we spotted one we went and bought a trap and we managed to catch it.read more
