The thermometer at the WPCNR World Headquarters read 90 degrees in the shade at 6 PM–with 58% humidity…it feels like a laundry out there–, but what is most unusual, on the other side of the world in Singapore known for its heat and humidity it is only 84 degrees with 77% humidity at 5 A.M– the temperature in White Plains NY USA this morning.

Most unusual.

As Cole Porter once wrote,

According to the Kinsey Report, ev’ry average man you know
Much prefers his lovey-dovey to court
When the temperature is low
But when the thermometer goes ‘way up
And the weather is sizzling hot
Mister, pants for romance is not

‘Cause it’s too, too, too darn hot
It’s too darn hot
It’s too, too darn hot

I’d like to coo with my baby tonight
And pitch the woo with my baby tonight
I’d like to coo with my baby tonight
And pitch the woo with my baby tonight
But brother, you fight my baby tonight
‘Cause it’s too darn hot

From Kiss Me Kate, writer: Cole Porter

WPCNR OBSERVATIONS.By John F. Bailey. August 6, 2016 Reprinted from WPCNR archives:

Seventy-one years ago in 1945, today, August 9, the second atomic bomb was dropped on the Japan city, Nagasaki, two days after the Enola Gay, a single American bomber dropped an Atomic bomb on the city of Hiroshima, Japan.

The terrible effects of those two  bombs are a horror that has never been repeated

A second bomber, Bock’s Car on August 9, dropped another atomic bomb on Nagasaki, 71 years ago today.

Unknown thousands of Japanese citizens’ lives were vaporized, burned, maimed and two cities leveled to the ground in an instant in both bombings.

To grasp what one atomic bomb did to Nagasaki,  readers may see the photographs Japanese photographer Yosuki Yamato took of the aftermath of Nagasaki the day it happened at

http://www.exploratorium.edu/nagasaki/photos.html#journey/63.jpg

The decision to drop the bombs was made after the United States, Great Britain and the Republic of China demanded Japan  surrender in the Potsdam Declaration on July 26 or face  “prompt and utter destruction”.

The Japanese government did not surrender. After the Nagasaki bombing, they did.

The United States deployed two nuclear weapons  dropping one on Hiroshimi, 71 years ago today and one on Nagasaki on August 9.

Over four months the bombs resulted in the deaths of   90,000–166,000 people in Hiroshima and 60,000–80,000 in Nagasaki, half dying the day the bombs fell.

The Hiroshima prefecture health department estimated that, of the people who died on the day of the explosion, 60% died from flash or flame burns, 30% from falling debris and 10% from other causes. During the following months, large numbers died from the effect of burns, radiation sickness, and other injuries, compounded by illness.

In a US estimate of the total immediate and short term cause of death, 15–20% died from radiation sickness, 20–30% from burns, and 50–60% from other injuries, compounded by illness. In both cities, most of the dead were civilians, although Hiroshima had a sizeable garrison.

The horror of those two bombings and the aftermath, the injuries created have resulted in an effort and reluctance on the part of nuclear-armed powers to avoid any nuclear attacks since that date.

Within a few days of those bombings, Japan surrendered unconditionally, officially ending World War II.

The decision to use the bombs by the United States has long been debated.

A dialogue on what the bombs did, why the decision was made was collected in 1995, the fiftieth year since the bombings. It is available at http://www.exploratorium.edu/nagasaki/commentary/decision.html
