THE fossil of a sturgeon thought to be more than 66 million years old is the first of its kind to be discovered in Africa.
The fish — the source of caviar — was believed to have lived only in the northern hemisphere’s cooler waters.

It was found by palaeontologist Prof David Martill on a field trip to Morocco last year.
He said: “I found a piece of rock with bucklers — the bony external plates found on these heavily armoured fish – and knew straight away it was a sturgeon.”
Sturgeons were declared a “royal fish” by King Edward II in 1324.
Prof Martill, of Portsmouth University, added: “This new Moroccan species complicates models of the location of the origin of this group of fish.”
The specimen is now in the collection of a university in Casablanca.

Here’s an idea! You know that 2.5-inch laptop drive that you have sitting around ever since you upgraded a year or two back? How about repurposing it as a portable SSD or HDD with this USB-C enclosure? For £6, you can give that drive a new lease on life. Your new drive will be useful too, ideal for backups, moving video files to your TV or just moving game directories between PCs.

This old dog has a trick or two up his sleeve
A woman in her 60s has shared the supposed insult young people call her behind her back that has to do with her pink hair.
In end, she is not phased by it because she’s winning at life.

Vickity Vic (@vickity_vic) is a content creator in her 60s who keeps it real online.
The pop-culture enthusiast can’t help but share her opinion about movies, television, news, and “random crap,” according to her TikTok bio.
In a video on the platform, she admitted what people online call her when they’re trying to be mean.
She told viewers how little she cared and how much better she was doing in life.
“I just love it when a kid comes on my page and says you’re an old woman with pink hair like that’s an insult to me,” she said as the video began. “And guess what kiddo? I’m winning.”
The content creator went on to list many of the attributes that make her a great woman.
“I have plenty of money. I’m fully retired. I go on vacations. I have fun. I have a family that loves me,” she shared. “I have a wonderful adult son. I just bought a house.”
“Winning…go away little boy,” she said unbothered as the video came to a close.
Even though she joked in the comments that she was still a “hot mess,” people couldn’t help but praise her for her confidence.
“You such a winner good for you,” a viewer commented.
“I love it, these punks nowadays don’t know anything,” another added.
“I try to understand them when I get those comments. I picture myself at a young age. I was a cocky a**hole,” a fan shared.
She doesn’t see it as an insult because she’s winning at life in so many ways[/caption]
As I installed the original Final Fantasy, a game that first came out when I was three years old, on Sony’s most advanced console to date, I came to a realization: almost everything I’ve played this year has been old. Between the remakes, rereleases, and retro collections, it’s been a deluge of nostalgia. And I, for one, have welcomed it.
These kinds of releases are nothing new, of course. What’s been different through the early months is the sheer quantity of classic releases. Two of the biggest blockbusters so far this year — Dead Space and Resident Evil 4 — are remakes of titles from well over a decade ago. They’re both slick and gorgeous updates that don’t look out of place amongst modern big-budget releases, but part of what makes…
