Amazing Double Arc Rainbow
At exactly 6pm on 15 September 2016, in the Ondo state capital Akure, southwest Nigeria. An unusual double arc rainbow appears in the sky despite the fact that their is no rain clouds up there. Have seen various rainbow, but have never seen such bright and double arc rainbow touching visible horizon in different part of the town in my Life forming full semi-circle. And such occurrence is definitely noteworthy. If you are reading this I'll like to know if you've came across such before.

Uber begins driverless taxi
Uber launched a groundbreaking driver-less car service Wednesday, jumping ahead of Detroit auto giants and Silicon Valley rivals with technology that could revolutionise transportation.
In an ambitious experiment, a fleet of cars laden with lasers, cameras and other sensors — but with no one’s hands on the wheel — were to be deployed by the web-based ride service on the challenging roads of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, steering themselves to pick up regular Uber passengers who are used to being fetched by cars driven by humans.
Four of the Ford Fusion hybrids with their ungainly rooftop load of technology will be deployed to a select customers on Wednesday, with the company showing at least a dozen more ready to put on the streets.
And Uber is well-advanced in developing a self-drive car with Sweden’s Volvo, expected to become the mainstay of the program in the near future.
