  Nuclear weapons possess enormous destructive power from nuclear fission, or a combination of fission and fusion reactions. Building on major scientific breakthroughs made during the 1930s, the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, and France collaborated during World War II, in what was called the Manhattan Project, to build a weapon using nuclear fission, also known as an atomic bomb. The atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were the detonation of two atomic bombs over the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on 6 and 9 August 1945 by the United States, standing to date as the only use of nuclear weapons in hostilities. 1- Japan’s unwillingness to surrender unconditionally. Japan wanted to keep their emperor and conduct their own war trials and did not want to be occupied by U.S. forces.

  Valentine's Day is celebrated annually on February 14. Valentine's Day is not a public holiday in any country, although it is an official feast day in the Anglican Communion and the Lutheran Church. According to the legend, the story of this loving day is not filled with love. It is about a confrontation between a saint valentine and a cruel king. Saint Valentine was a priest in Rome and served during the third century. At that time there was a cruel king named Claudius II. Claudius believed that Roman soldiers should be completely devoted to Rome and therefore passed a law preventing them from marrying. He believed that by love or marriage, soldiers forget their goals and the married man is always worried about what will happen to his family after his death. Due to this concern, he is unable to pay full attention to the battle. Keeping this in mind, King Claudius announced that no soldier of his kingdom will marry and anyone who did not listen to him will be punished s

  Americans are increasingly pessimistic about the state of U.S.-China relations. The relationship between the People's Republic of China and the United States of America has been complex since 1949 with mutual distrust leading to complications. The relationship is one of close economic ties (economic ties grew rapidly after 1980), as well as hegemonic rivalry in the Asia-Pacific. It has been described by world leaders and academics as the world's most important bilateral relationship of the 21st century. The United States and China are the world's largest and second largest economies respectively, although China has a larger GDP when measured by PPP. The United States is pretty polarized these days, but nearly everyone seems to agree that China is a big problem. 1- China is a threat because its leaders are promoting a closed, authoritarian model as an alternative to democratic governance and free-market economics. 2- The two countries remain in dispute over terri

  It is known that your blood pressure is considered normal with a reading of 120/80. It is considered low once it falls to 90/60 or lower. Normal blood pressure for you may be different than another person’s average blood pressure. You may naturally have blood pressure that averages higher or lower.

  When you get beyond a healthy weight, your body is always dealing with the impact of those extra kilos. It takes more effort just to function, and that can weaken your system overall. Being overweight or obese disrupts normal breathing. There is extra fat inside your body that makes your breathing muscles weaker and squashes your lungs, meaning they can’t hold as much air. If you’re heavier than you should be, you’ve probably noticed times when it’s harder to breathe. Huffing and puffing when you’re walking or snoring while you’re sleeping are just some of the examples of how your weight makes your lungs work harder. Patients admitted to ICU due to COVID-19 complications are there because they need help to breathe. It’s perhaps not surprising that overweight or obese people account for most of these patients in the UK. If your lungs are already struggling due to your weight, then they are less able to cope with additional pressures like the coronavirus. Read more:  4 Easy wa
