The Anti-Nuclear Weapons Association of the United Nations has sent representatives to Iran to test their new probe for nuclear activity. As all of their experienced testers were on missions already on missions they sent rookies. The beginners did well and conducted a perfect examination. Iran’s probe passed and will be launched into space two months from now and we have little fear it will explode the world.

John Moore, a Navy veteran, climbed through the old submarines hatch. It was the 70th anniversary of Japan’s surrender in WWII. He cranked up the up the radio and said “C-Q, C-Q, C-Q, C-Q,” (which means “I seek you.”) Mr. Moore was finding people to tell the story of the USS Razorback.

It was launched in WWII and fought some of the Japanese Navy at Pearl Harbor, then it went over to the East China Sea and was present at Tokyo Bay for Japan’s surrender along with the other 11 submarines that survived fighting the Japanese from the starting 64.

note-Now the submarine is in North Little Rock in the Arkansas River as tourist destination.

The Valley Fire in Middletown CA has destroyed 600 houses and dislocated 13,000 people so far, 9,000 more homes are threatened. only one person was killed. A 72 year old woman with MS who was not able to exit as the fire enveloped her house.

People in the area have said that “the fire season used to be to be confined, now it’s year round.” Rain is on the way but that and the 1,200 firefighters fighting the fire will probably do little to stop the fire.

From the Gorges Crab in 1898 to the Devil Fire fish in 2011 the Mediterranean is teeming with life, life that is supposed to be thousands of miles away.

Invasive species are popping up in the Mediterranean from oceans around the world, including dangerous species such as the Cardinal blowfish whose poison can cause paralyses. Some species are not directly dangerous like the rabbit fish which eats algae. Harmless right? Wrong, it reproduces like, you guessed it, a rabbit. Schools of it eats all the algae in a very large area and destroys the habitat. Researchers have identified the expansion of the Suez Canal as the problem.

For the underwater photography industry “it is a present” but scientists think that soon the Mediterranean will have a new habitat and that all it’s old creatures will become extinct from the area. Also it will not be a popular tourist destination anymore.
