Father Of All Bombs
Tsar Bomba, nicknamed 'Big Ivan' by its makers, was the largest nuclear bomb ever built. With a yield of 50 megatons, it was 4000 times more powerful then the bomb that devastated Hiroshima.
This video shows various important aspects of the bomb, including its development at Arzamas-16, the secret Soviet nuclear weapons research facility and its transportation to the Tu-95 bomber, which was painted white for the test to reflect the heat of the blast. Several different views of the explosion are also shown, including several filmed from the air and ground alike. The last few shots are of the ground zero several days after the test.

Iraqi - Pressure - Vault
From a geographic standpoint, Iraq is caught between a rock and a hard place. Its neighbors offer either pressure or non-support. Syria creates pressure by encouraging insurgent elements to freely enter western Iraq. From the east, Iran inflicts pressure on Iraq’s political institutions by funding Shiite militias. Friendly support from Iraq’s northern border has been limited by clashes between the Turkish forces and Kurdish nationalistic groups, which create a hostile environment for the two neighbors. Saudi Arabia, disappointed from what it views as a Shiite-dominated Iraq, offers no substantial help to solve Iraq’s southern issues.
The result is a ‘pressure vault’ in which a combination of pressure and non-support from Iraq’s neighbors threatens to implode the stability of the country.

Signs - of - Occupation
Before / after satellite photos of Saddam's palace in Baghdad, Iraq. Note the new parking lots, modular housing, restoration of the waterworks, and other interesting markings of new tenants in the emperor's crib.
Shiite - vs - Sunni
September, 2006. There now exists an 'arc' of domination by Shiite militias in the north of Baghdad. Sunni militias have carved out a few enclaves in Baghdad's south, and are now expanding into nearby areas. The pieces of the puzzle are slowly aligning themselves as Iraq's sectarian divide widens.
Predictions for the near future:
(1) Azamiyah is being surrounded and will eventually fall into Shiite control.
(2) The Sunnis are pursuing territorial ambitions to consolidate their control in the southern areas of Sadiyah, Dora, and Muradiyah. This will lead to a new 'river war' between the Sunni and the Shiite militias on the opposite sides of the Tigris.
(3) The growth of these 'neighborhood coalitions' will marginalize the influence of the soldiers and politicians in the Green Zone.

Keys to a longer life
1. Drink tea. You would expect this from the British, but the research showing tea's ability to lower blood pressure and cholesterol actually comes from Japanese and Norwegian scientists. Apparently any kind of non-herbal tea will do.
2. Sleep more and laugh more. People with chronic sleep problems have a higher mortality rate, whereas those who get a good night's rest suffer fewer illnesses. People who cultivate laughter heal faster and feel better.
3. Take cold showers. Brrr! But research in England and Germany confirm that the chill enhances resistance to colds, boosts immunity and fertility, and reduces the risk of heart attack.
4. Drink something red. The British Medical Journal reports that red wine is highest in antioxidants, but acknowledges that the same value can be achieved by drinking red grape juice.
5. Eat less and exercise moderately. On the island of Okinawa, where residents eat 20 percent less than other Japanese, the age-related death rate is 60 percent lower. As for exercise, 30 minutes of moderate sustained activity five times a week increases life expectancy.
6. Get a pet and get married. Pet owners have lower stress, cholesterol and blood pressure, and see their doctors less often. While you're at it, get a spouse as well. The single and divorced have the highest chance of contracting disease and dying from it.
