What could possibly be happening, where from these cities in the clouds? Meteorologists say the phenomenon can be a type of mirage called a Fata Morgana According to the Daily Mail , a Fata Morgana is a type of mirage that distort distance objects, and can be can be seen on land or sea. It’s caused when the sun heats up the atmosphere above the land or oceans, which creates a gradient of temperatures.

When light hits a boundary between two layers that are different temperatures – and as a result different densities – it bends and travels at a different angle.

Chris Mintz "tried to protect some people," his aunt Sheila Brown told NBC News in a telephone interview. "We were told he did heroic things to protect some people." She said that Mintz was shot seven times and had been in surgery since the shooting that left 10 dead, including the gunman. Originally from Randleman, North Carolina, Mintz served about 10 years in the Army. He had just started college, Brown said. He was shot in the back, abdomen and hands, and had two broken legs, she added. "We're not sure how his legs got broken," she said.

We've all been sitting on pins and needles and praying very hard," Brown said,...

Cape Town – “As I looked down at my meal, I could hardly believe what I was seeing,” said Pretoria resident Stella van Heerden. Van Heerden and her family were on board the 09:15am Air Mauritius flight MK851 headed for OR Tambo on Thursday morning when she made the nauseating discovery. The Van Heerden's had just enjoyed a 9-day Sugar Bay beach break on the island of Mauritius but unfortunately it was not about to end well. “It was really upsetting for me, as I had eaten half of my meal already,” said Van Heerden. “I believe they came from the mushrooms, I looked down, asking myself, 'What is this?' "I took a photo with my iPad and enlarged it. That's when I saw it was a maggot and said 'no this can’t be?'.

It was a maggot! “I didn’...

Decades after attending middle school in Miami Beach, Florida, two classmates ended up on different sides of the law. In a Miami-Dade bond court earlier this week, Judge Mindy Glazer realized that she recognized burglary suspect Arthur Booth from their school days at Nautilus Middle School. When Glazer asked Booth if he attended the school, the suspect paused, before grabbing his head and breaking down in tears. As Booth cried, Glazer recalled their younger years as middle schoolers. "This was the nicest kid in middle school; he was the best kid in middle school. I used to play football with him, all the kids, and look what has happened," she said. Glazer also handed down words of encouragement, saying, "I am so sorry to see you there. Mr. Booth, I hope you are able to change your ways; good luck to you. What's sad is how old we've become. Good luck to you, sir. I hope you are able to come out of this okay, and just lead a lawful life." - masa...

Where are the men's right advocates when you need them? If it were the other way around, the feminists would go crazy. An Indian man has been dating a woman for close to 10 years and when it was time to take the relationship to the next level he was hesitant. When the youth heard about it they were determined to get her married as she 'deserved'. He was taken to the police station where he agreed to marry her but later took a U-turn when it was time to do so, the youth therefore took him to the temple and forcefully got him married to her. Whilst the groom was in tears, the bride was seen to be happy because she got what she wanted. However, what will guarantee that he will stick to the marriage and not run away like earlier?

A baby born in Hong Kong was pregnant with her own siblings at the time of her birth, according to a new report of the infant's case. The baby's condition, known as fetus-in-fetu, is incredibly rare, occurring in only about 1 in every 500,000 births. It's not clear exactly why it happens. "Weird things happen early, early in the pregnancy that we just don't understand," said Dr. Draion Burch, an obstetrician and gynecologist in Pittsburgh, who goes by Dr. Drai . "This is one of those medical mysteries."  The doctors who treated the baby girl wrote that rather than a teratoma, the tiny fetuses may instead be the remains of sibling twins that were absorbed during the pregnancy. During surgery, which was done when the girl was about 3 weeks old, the surgeons discovered two fetuses between her liver and her kidney. One fetus weighed 0.3 ounces (9.3 grams) and the other 0.5 ounces (14.2 grams) — corresponding to about 8 and 10...

  A Cleveland 12-year-old boy holding what turned out to be a replica gun died Sunday after he was shot twice by a Cleveland police officer responding to a 911 call about a person waving a gun at a playground.   Cleveland deputy police chief Ed Tomba said the officer fired twice after the boy pulled the fake weapon – which was lacking the orange safety indicator usually on the muzzle – from his waistband. The boy did not make any verbal threats toward the officer or point the gun, but he reached into his waistband and grabbed it after being told to raise his hands, Tomba said. “That’s when the officer fired,” he said.   Police said the weapon was an “airsoft” type replica gun that resembled a semi-automatic pistol. An orange safety indicator had been removed, police said. A man who called 911 told dispatchers before police arrived the boy was on a swing set and pointing a pistol that was “probably fake”, scaring everyone.   The caller said the boy w...

BBC At least 40 people have died out of 119 confirmed cases of an outbreak of the plague in Madagascar, raising fears the disease is spreading rapidly in the nation's capital, the World Health Organisation (WHO) has revealed. A bubonic plaque smear, prepared from a lymph removed from an adenopathic lymph node, or bubo, of a plaque patient -Independent The bacterial disease is mainly spread between rodents by fleas. Humans bitten by an infected flea usually develop a bubonic form of plague, which swells the lymph node and can be treated with antibiotics, the WHO said. If the bacteria reach the lungs, the patient develops pneumonia (pneumonic plague), which is transmissible from person to person through infected droplets spread by coughing. This form is "one of the most deadly infectious diseases" and can kill people within 24 hours. But so far only two per cent of the cases reported in Madagascar so far have been pneumonic, it added. The first case in...
