Saudia Arabia and Killing

With Saudia Arabia on the UNs council of human rights you would think that they wouldn't execute. Well wrong. Saudi Arabia is actually looking for more executioners, with 85 people already executed this year alone, much more are expected to be executed. So Saudia Arabia is looking to fulfill eight more executioner positions that require beheadings and amputations for smaller offenses. This job requires low skill, and gives a low tier of pay. With executions in the rise since last August, some are questioning the basis for these killings. Especially drug related offenses, which have no real harm. 

Addition to the Tree of Life

The climate has been going through a drastic change and much of it has affected the ocean and its inhabitants. The inhabitants known as microbes have been studied for a long time and until recent years they have show lots of change in behavior and their own existence. These creatures are what's thought to be in the evolutionary step of man. These tiny creatures have been affected by the change in temperature over the past years due to climate change. What's happening to these microbes is a prime example of mans effect on the environment destroying our world and its other inhabitants and if we want to continue living on this world we need to clean it up or else we will live in a world with no beauty.

Chauvet Cave in France holds early mans depictions of buffalo, rhinos battling, lions and horses. This cave is remaining closed for the sake of preserving the art. But a nearby cave will open with recreations of the art made in it for the public to witness. Scientists believe that the rock art is 32,000-36,000 years old.

With Japanese conservatives wanting the hunts to stop and even going so far as to opposing the captivity of dolphins in Japan. 

Hubble

Since the Hubble space telescope was launched in 1990, it's faced ridicule and glory. Having been known as the greatest achievement in astronomy since Galileos. The telescope would face several service trips by astronauts till the last one in 2004.The first service trip would be due to a paint problem on the telescope causing the images it took to appear blurred. The technology the telescope would utilize would be derived of spy technology used by the U.S. And with the use of mirrors to collect the images we get a full spectrum view of all the colors the heavens have to offer.  Today celebrates its 25th anniversary of being in space since its launch April 24th 1990.

Shyrokene, a city between the Russian and Ukrainian militant forces. The city recently has experienced a signing of a ceasefire, which is facing scrutiny due to fighting that keeps breaking out. With land mines and traps set all over the city, the residents have experienced a whole year of war near them. With both sides seeking to gain the city the ceasefire doesn't seem to want to hold. Especially with the innocent being hurt, such as a Russian journalist that stepped on a trip wire and was blown away.
