Headline Tag: Cinema Rating: Amazing Hits: 1094 Comments: 1 The Atomic Cafe: Full Movie The Atomic Cafe: Full Movie Not a moment too soon, THE ATOMIC CAFE is back to provide us with a much-needed release of comic energy. A dark comedy in the truest sense, this timeless classic took the nation by storm when it first debuted in 1982. The film recounts a defining period of 20th century history and serves as a chilling and often hilarious reminder of cold-war era paranoia in the United States--artfully presented through a collage of newsreel footage, government archives, military training films, and fifties music. Profoundly shocking and perversely topical, THE ATOMIC CAFE craftily captures a panicked nation, offering a fascinating and witty account of life during the atomic age and resulting cold war, when fall-out shelters, duck-and-cover drills, and government propaganda were all a part of our social consciousness. Regarded by critics as a nuclear Reefer Madness and likened to Stanley Kubricks Dr. Strangelove, this profoundly shocking and highly amusing film is a stunner, a gripping account of an unforgettable era and an indisputable must-see for all Americans.

The shot was an artillery delivered airburst. The shell travelled 11,000 yards before detonation which occurred 86 feet west, 137 feet south, and 24 feet above the designated burst point. The predicted yield was 14 kt. The Mk-9 280 mm (11.02 inch) shell was 54.4 inches long, weighed 803 lb, and used oralloy as the fissile material. Air burst detonation was arranged by a time fuze. The Mk-9 was fired by an enormous 85 ton artillery piece. The gun had a muzzle velocity of 2060 ft/sec, and a range of up to 20 miles. Aug 21, 2009 3:50 PM

Fireworks may be a staple for family 4th of July celebrations, but the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is urging consumers to only use legal fireworks and to use them safely. This year, CPSC is warning that a large number of deaths associated with fireworks are related to consumers using professional devices. This year's demonstration will feature a graphic reenactment of an actual incident where a man was killed while setting off professional fireworks. At a news conference to be held on the National Mall, CPSC Acting Chairman Nancy Nord leads a federal push to reduce injuries and deaths associated with all fireworks.

Headline Tag: Television Rating: Amazing Hits: 2244 Comments: 2 BBC Horizon: Nuclear Nightmares BBC Horizon: Nuclear Nightmares First aired 13 July 2006, RT 49:21. For the last 50 years the world has lived in fear of radiation. Hiroshima, Nagasaki and accidents at nuclear power stations struck terror in people everywhere – but Horizon: Nuclear Nightmares has uncovered evidence to suggest these fears could be unfounded. The programme examines in detail the aftermath of the ultimate nuclear nightmare – the explosion and fire 20 years ago at Chernobyl Reactor number four. The results of the investigation are astonishing. In the aftermath of Chernobyl experts predicted tens of thousands of deaths from cancer. Yet, when the authoritative UN Chernobyl Forum report - compiled by scientists from organisations such as the WHO - was published late last year it put the total death toll from the accident at just 59. Fifty workers in the plant died from acute radiation sickness and so far only nine cases of cancer can be attributed to the accident. This is a huge discrepancy between prediction and reality. Those predictions were based on a theory called the Linear no threshold (LNT) model. This model was derived by studying the survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, who received huge radiation doses; yet there is almost no data to support the model at the sort of levels of radiation exposure caused by Chernobyl. The LNT model is, the experts admit, little more than an informed guess. Horizon's investigation has turned up evidence to suggest that there is a threshold below which radiation may be harmless. There are many places on Earth where the natural background radiation is tens or even hundreds of times higher than in the Chernobyl exclusion zone. Yet studies of populations who live in these natural radiation hot spots have consistently failed to find any negative health consequences. The programme also reports on the scientific experiments that suggest that a little radiation may even protect against cancer by stimulating the body's natural cancer defences. These ideas are controversial. What is accepted by all the experts Horizon talked to is that for the victims of Chernobyl the real problem is not radiation – but radiophobia, the fear of radiation, which has caused acute psychological trauma. Could we all find ourselves victims of radiophobia, as we fight shy of a technology which may be vital in the fight to save our civilisation from the effects of global warming?
