In the UK, rescue breaths are used for paediatric (1yrs-puberty). And drowning is a 'special circumstance' whereby Cardiac arrest is almost always secondary to hypoxia there rescue breaths increase survival over 'hands only' CPR,
It's in the resus manual...l https://lms.resus.org.uk/modules/m10-v2-cardiac-arrest/10346/resources/chapter_12.pdf

So not a good example in this video. However saying that any *decent* attempt at chest compression only is going to help someone who is not breathing so not to be discouraged.

@lucky760 I think @eric3579 has got it in one.

The video they return when you use a Data API v2 video call happens to be length 3:56 too.

That suggests that without action, every yt vid will get length 3:56 until late May when they will get no length.

Paradox Interactive is killing me. Between this, HOI3, EU4, CK2 and V2, I could spend a lifetime in my mancave.

Hmm, that doesn't work in both IE8 and Mozilla's SeaMonkey v2.26.1. I tried other videos on LiveLeak.com, and they played. What's special about this one?

The lounge v2 is only a little better than the original on my phone... It let me send two messages before logging me out of vs! Then it wouldn't load again.. Oh well.

Shout out to @lucky760 for giving us Sift Lounge v2.0. We appreciate all your hard work.

The panorama created from pictures in '48 must have blown their minds. Frankly though, if it wasn't for the added marking of specific sites, I wouldn't have been able to make heads or tails of it, despite the listed cardinal points.

As I recall from studying this is a college class, we had only the two atomic bombs available. Getting material for another was possible, but I think I recall that at the time we could only collect enough for one bomb every several months.

So, a HUGE aspect of this is that we had a pretty good hand of cards in the poker game, but felt that we had to bluff to suggest that it was even more overwhelming.

To me, the interesting part of the debate isn't blockade vs conventional bombing vs invasion vs A-bombs. I think it gets most interesting to consider alternatives that involve dropping one or more of the 2 A-bombs some place where their power would be demonstrated, but where casualties would be as low as possible.

Either option you mentioned would have been GREAT, if they worked (and forced surrender). But both had potential pitfalls also. Drop one on an unpopulated area, and they might have believed we were trying to take credit for some sort of natural event (German V2s blowing up in London were often attributed to sewage gas explosions early on). Staging a demonstration for scientists and leaders to witness might have hardened their resolve and/or made them question ours.

If I had been in Truman's shoes, I feel like I would have preferred to use ONE of the two bombs on something like one of your suggestions; either unpopulated drop or demonstration. Then, use the second on a target of military significance if/when they didn't surrender.

However, in hindsight that would have been a risky move -- they didn't surrender after the Hiroshima bomb, only after both. Would a demonstration and one "we mean business" bomb have been enough to elicit the same response? Who knows. At that point, consider how screwed we could have been if it HADN'T, and it would have taken months to build another bomb (plus keep in mind that we weren't 100% confident in the bombs working reliably, even after trinity and the first two drops). I guess that we could have maintained a blockade and said "we'll give you 3 months to come to your senses" while we made another bomb, but I think that would have legitimately resulted in Japan questioning our resolve quite a lot; we'd be showing our cards too early.

I guess that at the end of the day, I don't envy Truman for having to make that kind of decision. Given the givens, I think that he probably played it as safe as possible and went with the option that was the MOST likely to force surrender. Perhaps some other option would have worked as well but avoided some of the casualties, but Truman took the information available to him and made the decision that he felt was the best -- I think that is pretty much the best we can ask of our leaders.

*promote ΔK = ΔKA – ΔKB = E(1 – v2 /c2)-½ – E

= E ((1 – v2/c2)-½ – 1)

≈ E ((1 + ½v2/c2) – 1)

= ½ E (v2/c2)

K = ½ mv2

ΔK = K = ½ mv2 = ½ E (v2/c2)

E = mc2.

It's a Vimeo video, but my SeaMonkey v2.15.2 web browser says I need a plugin. Weird embedding.
