If a Tsar Bomba were exploded over the
centre of Birmingham, almost the entire
Midlands would suffer


Dr Wellerstein, who specialises in the history
of nuclear weapons, says because of Google
Maps' limitations it isn't possible to calculate
the scale of the death toll.

But he thinks it wouldn't be that hard to work
out by taking into account the population
sizes of the area you destroy.

'The calculations match historic events well.
It matches Hiroshima almost exactly but they
are approximations,' added Dr Wellerstein.
'You're talking about the effects it could have
on different landscapes and whether the
buildings are built from wood or concrete,
but the map does give you a very good idea
of what the major effects would be.'

A Tsar Bomba dropped in Glasgow would
cause devastation from coast to coast in
Scotland


Of course, jokers will choose their least
favourite town and drop the bomb just to see
the effects, and Dr Wellerstein says humour is
a good defence given the dark subject
matter.

He said: 'It has a response from people who
say, "Haha I've just nuked my home town".
But on the other hand you have the dread
and that's very potent.

'It's a dark realisation, I've plotted a terrorist
bomb at the capital where I live and thought
"that's not very good for me" quite a few
times.'

If Cardiff were to be targeted with a
mammoth bomb, the effects would be felt
across Devon and Cornwall


The Nukemap's reception has taken the
historian by surprise - with a staggering 700
people using the app and 1,500 individual
detonations within its first three days online.

And while people could accuse the 'Nukemap'
of promoting violence, Dr Wellerstein says he
only created the app to display facts and
insists there is no political motive involved.

'Most of the people who talk about it are
anti-nuclear protesters,' he said.

'They like it because it highlights the danger
they create. I'm sort of in the middle on all
this so I don't see it as having a particular
message.

'I don't think nuclear weapons will be go any
time soon but I hope we don't use them. The
map is just laying out the facts of it, there is
no political message from me.'

Science/TechnologyRe: Want To Know The Effect Of A Nuclear Bomb On Your Home Town? by Joel3(op): 10:36am On Jan 08, 2017
According to Dr Wellerstein's calculations, the
radius of the fireball would be 1.88 miles,
obliterating everything from St Pancras in the
north to Kennington in the south.

The radiation radius would stretch to 4.65
miles, coating the whole of London transport
zones one and two with a 500 rem radiation
dose, which would kill up to 90 per cent of
people within weeks.

But most of them would already be dead
thanks to the air blast radius of 20.51 miles,
which would demolish even most heavily built
concrete buildings as far afield as Enfield,
Woking and Slough.

And even though the bomb was dropped in
central London, the thermal radiation radius
stretches to 47.88 miles - meaning people as
far south as Eastbourne and as north as
Cambridge would suffer third-degree burns
and be trapped by firestorms.


This Nukemap image shows how a Tsar
Bomba H-bomb would pretty much wipe the
entire North West region off the face of the
planet


Other shocking results in other parts of the
country show how even the Yorkshire Dales
and Sheffield could be wiped out with a blast
in Manchester and Nottingham and
Northampton affected by one in Birmingham.
Thankfully, Russian engineers lost their nerve
before building the Tsar Bomba. Afraid of the
global effects of such a massive explosion,
they only ever tested a version of half the
strength.

Nevertheless, that still caused an explosion
bigger than would have been caused by a
conventional bomb packed with all the
explosives used in the Second World War.
Dr Wellerstein, who is a Ph.D graduate from
Harvard University, says he uses the
'Nukemap' to bring help his students
understand the implications of nuclear
warfare.

'I've done different types of map based
teaching for the students because I've found
that students don't really have a sense of
how big a nuclear explosion is,' said the 30-
year-old, who lives with his wife in
Washington, DC.

'What I like about the map is it makes the
explosions look large and impressive but it
shows it isn't the end of the world.
'I think a lot of people think a nuclear
weapon goes off and everybody gets blown
up or disappears.

'The reality is the buildings would collapse
and you would be set on fire, which makes it
real and scarier.'

Since the end of the Cold War more than 20
years ago, the prospect of nuclear
Armageddon has gradually faded from the
popular consciousness.

But with approximately 23,000 nuclear
warheads still thought to be in existence,
there is still more than enough nuclear
firepower available to basically end life on
Earth.

Now those interested in finding out how
much damage a nuclear strike would cause in
their home town can find out, thanks to a
new online app.

This picture, taken from the Nukemap, shows
the level of destruction that would be caused
if the Tsar Bomba - the largest USSR bomb
designed - was dropped on London

A wider view shows just how apocalyptic the
circle of destruction would be



CIRCLES OF DEVASTATION: A KEY TO THE
NUKEMAP DATA

These figures are for the proposed
100megaton Tsar Bomba, the biggest bomb
ever designed.

Fireball radius: 3.03 km / 1.88 mi
Maximum size of the nuclear fireball;
relevance to lived effects depends on height
of detonation.

Radiation radius: 7.49 km / 4.65 mi
500 rem radiation dose; between 50% and
90% mortality from acute effects alone; dying
takes between several hours and several
weeks.

Air blast radius: 12.51 km / 7.77 mi
20 psi overpressure; heavily built concrete
buildings are severely damaged or
demolished; fatalities approach 100%.

Air blast radius: 33.01 km / 20.51 mi
4.6 psi overpressure; most buildings
collapse; injuries universal, fatalities
widespread.

Thermal radiation radius: 77.06 km / 47.88
mi
Third-degree burns to all exposed skin; starts
fires in flammable materials, contributes to
firestorm if large enough.

Alex Wellerstein, historian of science at the
American Institute of Physics, has designed
the Nukemap to show the scale of destruction
nuclear weapons can cause.

The app, which uses Google Maps, allows
users to choose any destination in the world
and then drop a nuclear bomb of their choice
on it.

Dragging the marker to London and
detonating the Russian Tsar Bomba - at 100
megatons, the biggest bomb ever designed -
shows just how terrifying the prospect of
nuclear war would be.

A 100 megaton nuclear bomb would be equal
to the effect of exploding 100milllion tons of
trinitrotoluene (TNT).

For this question, "Some men have no good feelings when their nipples get touched – some men get excited. Why is that?" I suggest it's influenced by the fat content in the skin. Fat deposits in the skin can enhance the sensitivity of nerve endings. Having enough fat in the nipple area could predispose some men to be more sensitive there. (nature) Other factors include upbringing (nurture) to allow men to enjoy sensitive areas.

PoliticsHow Afonja (Yorubas) lost the Ilorin throne to Alimi (Fulani) by Joel3(op):
THE rivalry between the Fulani and Afonja descendants over the throne of Ilorin is rooted in history.


While the Fulani rest the case of their claim to the kingship of the ancient town on the fact that the monarch had from the time immemorial been produced by them, the Afonja descendants, who like majority of the people of the town are Yoruba, say since their ancestor founded Ilorin, their claim to the throne ought not to be disputed.
History appears in support of the former's position although the progenitor of the Fulani indigenes of Ilorin, Alimi, was actually a tenant to Afonja.



The death of Afonja and Alimi, however, saw the eldest son of the latter emerging as the first monarch of what was then known as Ilorin.
Historical sources, tracing the story to the 19th Century, said Ilorin of today was founded by Afonja, the then Aare Ona Kakanfo (Generalisimo) to Alaafin of old Oyo (Oyo Ile), who used the town as his military outpost. It was this outpost that he carried out his war expeditions for the Alaafin.


In the usual nomadic wandering, Alimi arrived Ilorin and was hosted by Afonja. Soon after Alimi took Ilorin as his place of abode, a rift broke out between Alaafin and Afonja. When the disagreement reached the climax and the two had to take up arms, Afonja, out of regard for Alimi's spiritual and military prowess, sought his support. Alimi helped in mobilising an army in support of Afonja leading to victory over Alaafin. The defeat led the then Alaafin migrating from old Oyo to the site now called Oyo.


After the war, Alimi became a teacher to Afonja's children as the latter wanted his offsprings to learn the secret of power. When both died, Alimi's son, Abdulsalami, inherited his father's duty of teaching Afonja's children.


When the idea of appointing somebody to head the village came, the eldest child of Afonja wanted to have the position but met opposition from Abdulsalami who had military support from his fellow Fulani kinsmen. Abdulsalami ultimately became the ruler of what is now called Ilorin around 1831.


The issue now is that Afonja's descendants believe that their forefathers were cheated and want a redress. But the Alimi people are claiming that the Afonja people never ruled Ilorin and, as such, no precedent exists to back their position.
Penultimate week's incident was not the first time the Afonja and the Yoruba would attempt to assert their right to Ilorin kingship.


Historical sources said in 1895, the Yoruba rose against the then emir, burnt his palace and killed him. But the revolt did not result in enthronement of a Yoruba king. In 1913, when Lord Lugard administered the northern and southern Nigeria, Yoruba were said to have spearheaded a riot over tax to bring the rulership of the then emir to ridicule. In 1936, the Yoruba, according to sources, also moved to oust Emir Abdulkadir who was banished to Kaduna but got reinstated by the colonial administration.

In 1978, the George Innih administration of Kwara State raised a judicial panel of inquiry to look into the Yoruba agitation.

The Yoruba people reportedly made a case for the merging of Kwara State with the Southwest before the commission while also laying claim to the Ilorin throne. It was said they even claimed antecedent to the throne as they allegedly said Yoruba had produced four obas in Ilorin before the advent of the Fulani. But the Alimi people, in a counter position, claimed there was no known Yoruba king in the town before their forefather mounted the throne.

The report of the panel never saw the light of day while there was also no white paper from government.

A twist to the tussle was the recent petition by three of the six Yoruba chiefs (mogajis) in Ilorin to the State House of Assembly complaining that they had been classified as ungraded by government allegedly at the behest of the emir.

Their non-grading, according to the chiefs, suited the emir, so that there would be no rivalry of any sort from the Yoruba to his authority. Ilorin Descendants Progressive Union (IDPU), formed to protect the interest Ilorin indigenes who are of Fulani extraction, once in its opposition to the upgrading of the chiefs, said dong so would bring them at par with Gambari. But the Afonja Descendants Union (ADU) which came on stream in 1978 to advance the cause of the Yoruba in the town and with Kasumu as its leader would hear none of that. The group is allegedly pressuring the legislature to grade the chiefs.


Another angle to the agitation is the demand for Oya State that will comprise the Yoruba speaking areas of Kwara and Kogi States. The move, it was said, is to pull the rug from under the feet of the emir and end the Fulani rulership of Ilorin.


The Yoruba people of Ilorin are not alone in the struggle. The pan-Yoruba meeting which took place in Ibadan last year demanded restructuring of Kwara State such that Ilorin would be grouped with the Southwest. Analysts interpreted this to mean that the parley did not believe that any emir had any business on Ilorin throne.

Also you shouldn't be looking at phones for DSLR quality photos, most phones (only a few exceptions) use digital zoom for their cameras, which is basically cropping the photos in real time.

RomanceRe: Salty Discharge From Her Breast To My Mouth. Please Help by Joel3(m): 8:47pm On Dec 26, 2016
Nipple discharge is normal and very common when the breasts are squeezed/ stimulated and it's rarely a sign of breast cancer.
Milky discharge tastes salty rather than sweet, and may result from high prolactin levels, thyroid malfunction, nipple infection or side effects of medications (e.g. antidepressants) Take care to avoid nipple stimulation ( including frequent checks for discharge) because it can actually make the discharge persist.When nipple stimulation is avoided,most probably the discharge will stop.
When to be alarmed about nipple discharge,is when it happens only on one side, comes out spontaneously( without squeezing),is persistent and bloody or is associated with a lump,nipple or skin changes etc...
If you are worried, make an appointment with your doctor to have it evaluated to clear out any doubt. Take care...
