"Scientists working with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) recently discovered a previously unknowncoral reef off the US East Coast.The 85-mile-long deep-sea reef is located approximately 160 miles east of Charleston, South Carolina.Previous research pointed to the existence of the reef, but it had never been seen firsthand until last month.

The seafloor is one of the last unexplored regions of our watery planet.

On a recent expedition dubbed Deep Search 2018, a group of ocean researchers discovered 85 miles of deep-sea coral reef off the coast of the southeastern US.

"Good news is too rare these days, and this is a victory that we can all share. We have found a pristine coral reef in our own backyard," Erik Cordes, the chief scientist on the expedition and a deep-sea ecologist at Temple University, wrote in a mission summary.

Deep Search 2018, which took place from August 19 to September 2, was a collaborative project between the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, and the US Geological Survey. The goal of the expedition was to research - and safeguard - the little-understood habitats lurking off the US's populated East Coast. To collect new information about these deep-water habitats, scientists used a research ship called Atlantis from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.

"We completed 11 dives in the human occupied vehicle (HOV) Alvin in the turbid parts of canyons, stunning cliff faces, bubbling gas seeps, and massive deep-sea coral reefs," Cordes wrote. (The information we have gathered will help us to understand these habitats and their dynamics)."

CNN has parted ways with contributor Jason Miller. Miller—former communications director for the Trump campaign—is currently in the middle of what sounds like a very ugly custody battle with another former member of the campaign, who accused him of dosing a second woman with “an abortion pill without her knowledge” during their relationship.

Chefchaouen, or Chaouen, is a city in the Rif Mountains of northwest Morocco. It’s known for the striking, blue-washed buildings of its old town. Leather and weaving workshops line its steep cobbled lanes. In the shady main square of Place Outa el Hammam is the red-walled Kasbah, a 15th-century fortress and dungeon, and Chefchouen Ethnographic Museum. The octagonal minaret of the Great Mosque rises nearby.....

#China is lucky that #Trump became US president instead of #HillaryClinton, for many reasons. For instance, a Clinton presidency would have gone ahead with the #TransPacificPartnership (TPP), which deliberately excluded China. The proposed trade agreement would have served the specific geopolitical purpose of isolating China on trade and rallying the signatory countries around the US. This would have put China at a serious economic disadvantage.

Trump’s constant moves to antagonise #US allies - including the rest of the #G7 as well as #SouthKorea and #Japan - through disputes over trade or how to share military expenditure have made them scramble to mount their defences against the US. That in turn has dismayed US elites who wish Washington would lead a united front to target and pressure China. Waning confidence in the US leadership and its apparent withdrawal from the international stage have given Chinese leaders the time and opportunity to expand the country’s political and economic influence overseas and recalibrate its #foreignpolicy approach.
