Everyone loved the supermoon, but all they got were these lousy photos

The iPhone is the main blame for wretched photos of the supermoon last night.. Truly a breathtaking moment ruined by photography at its worst at night. I’d imagine the people of 2033, during the next blood moon eclipse , will get a mighty chuckle is the current batch of photos still exists.

The ongoing civil war in Syria has led to the first-ever withdrawal from the Svalbard “doomsday” Global Seed Vault, a giant storage unit for plant seeds that’s tucked into the side of a frigid mountain in Norway.

Syria’s civil war has forced scientists to request the first-ever withdrawal of seeds from a Doomsday vault built in the Arctic to safeguard the world’s food supplies, officials said Friday.

Experts working to conserve and grow cereals with strong resistance to drought and warmer global temperatures can no longer rely on their facility in the war-torn country’s city of Aleppo because it has been occupied by armed factions.

The International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA) said it has made a request to take back some of its samples from the Svalbard Global Seed Vault. The vault was created by the Norwegian government in 2008 to protect vital crops such as wheat against global disasters, war or disease.

It will be the first time seeds have been withdrawn from the facility, which lies more than 800 miles inside Arctic Circle — midway between Norway and the North Pole — and is the largest vault of its kind in the world. Built into the mountainside on the Svalbard archipelago, it relies on permafrost and thick rock to ensure that the seed samples will remain frozen even without power.

Tonight’s CNN headline can bring some peace to the weary Mormons and extreme Christians who prepped for months for the end times with the Tetrad. We made it through yet another false prophecy..

Not sure when people will begin learning not to believe the prognosticators. Instead, they should pay better attention to documented fact and historical accounts of ice ages, warming periods, and asteroids that have struck and ended life on earth previously. It will happen again. 

But not when the ‘seers’ claim that God told them it will..
