A group of six global powers suspended communication with iran because they refuse to listen to anyone. The prime minister of Israel was in the united states today talking to President Obama about a nuclear armed Iran. Obama agreed that this would be unacceptable and will not let Iran as a country become nuclear. Iran is saying this is all for a peaceful way to produce more energy for their country but they have already made public speeches saying if they get nuclear power they will use it to attack Israel and the United States. Iran says its trying to go down a different path and show the world its peaceful but none of the superpowers in the world believe them. Intensive efforts have been made to reason with the countries leaders but everything has gone unanswered or ignored. At this point the six nations of The United States, Russia, China, France, Britain, and Germany have stopped talking to Iran but are planning on opening up communication again in a few weeks.

The United States Air force is planning on spending $9.36 million dollars to buy ipads for pilots. The 18,000 ipads will take the place of paper manuals and reduce the amount of paper needed for flight checks, paperwork and control manuals. Charts for planes must be updated every 28 days, which requires 70 pounds of paper per plane. The ipads can be updated by computer which cuts down on paper and time needed to print. Because of their small size they will also bring down the clutter in the cockpit and help with weight which in turn is better for fuel efficiency. So far 63 ipads have been purchased at the discount price of $520 and is waiting approval for the 18,000 that are wanted.
