Nuclear Accident Chernobyl

Chernobyl, Ukraine, Soviet Union

Image Hosting


26 April 1986
31 People Killed (Initially)
335,000 people were evacuated

Reactor design from the point of security is bad, and difficult to operate. Both of these cause a dangerous operation.
- Atomic Energy Agency report in 1996 "Chernobyl Ten Years On"

A nuclear accident anywhere is a nuclear accident everywhere.
- From the 2001 NEA report, "Facts, Thoughts and Lesson from Chernobyl Accident."


Relentlessly


Between 1990 and 1998, has been diagnosed cases as many as 1791 cases of mumps in children of Ukraine, who lived in the area around the Chernobyl Nuclear Power plant. The experts have connected all of these cancers with the Chernobyl nuclear accident. Expected to be found more and more cases.


Defects in design

Chernobyl nuclear power plant using a nuclear reactor known as the RBMK-1000, built and designed by the Soviets, and then until now not used anywhere in the world.
RMBK-1000 using graphite blocks instead of chilled water. This was developed for two reasons: to generate electricity, and also provide the level of weapons-grade plutonium for the Soviet Union consistently is one of the side products graphite system. During the cold war, the Soviet Union was determined to produce weapons of eg, the equivalent of a nuclear weapons program the United States. With plutonium supply continuously and reliable then the Soviet Union could continue to expand their nuclear weapons, and simultaneously provide electricity for their country.
However, problems with RBMK-1000, as stated in the report "Chernobyl Ten Years On," is that this design is very dangerous, and has no tolerance for operator error, also does not have an operational routine for installed security error. In short, the type of reactor cooling water losing, then the reactor was started to reduce the cleavage rate (energy production), this by itself trying to reduce the heat loss caused by cooling. In the RBMK-1000, if the system loses cooling water, it will trigger more rapid cleavage, and the core becomes hotter. This is really contrary to the ideal response to the reduction of cooling water, and many countries trying to convince the Soviet Union that could be said to play with fire (nuclear). It is clear that the Soviets were willing to take risks in order to obtain plutonium.
In addition to the risks inherent in the way of energy production in RBMK-1000 design, other issues on the reactor dome is the lack of shelter. All the reactors the United States has a steel concrete storage vault, which will prevent radioactive leakage into the atmosphere during nuclear accidents. The Soviet people have also been warned about this, but they chose not to do anything.
On 26 April 1985, at 1:24 AM, 4 units of Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant exploded. Happens twice a huge explosion in three seconds. Which has undermined the roof of the building. Radioactive gas, collapsed buildings, large material from the reactor building, has been thrown into the air as high as two-thirds of a mile (1 km). cut pieces of reactor fuel into a hot flying through the air and fell within a range of nearly reached a mile (1.6 km) away, lit a radioactive fire that lit the area.
Two workers were killed instantly, and twenty-nine people wallow, in the radiation so high that they could say from that moment been killed, although most of them are still alive for several weeks in the hospital, and suffering the final stages of extreme radiation poisoning it. Hundreds of thousands of people were evacuated from the towns around it, countless animals are destroyed to avoid swallowing the meat that had been exposed to toxic radiation, and many European countries refuse shipment of rice from any area that is close to the Ukraine, asking the residents to wash all fruits and vegetables, although they are natives of their own country.
Chernobyl accident occurred because some workers tried to experiment and not officially low power, which includes the lethal action of emergency cooling system. By the time everyone realizes that the core becomes too hot, it was too late to reverse this process (they are not careful with letting the hot channel bend where fragments of fuel should be in there), the next thing they know is that the roof has flying, two people were killed, and a cloud of lethal gas had spread throughout the region.
Radioactivity from the Chernobyl explosion was detected until the end to the United States. Soviet leaders did not say a word about the explosion until two days later, on April 28th, when Swedish scientists reported an increase in atmospheric radioactive their own country, then tracked back to Chernobyl. Even after telling what had happened, the Soviet people did not have a way to respond to such a monumental disaster.
Chernobyl reactor finally put into a concrete structure, known as the sarcophagus. More than six hundred thousand workers, known as the "liquidator" working to clean the reactor and the construction of the sarcophagus. Cement layer of poorly built, and began to leak radiation several years after construction is completed. The more work done to ensure robustness it, but its safety is still questionable.

Chernobyl nuclear accident was the worst nuclear accident ever. The accident occurred shortly after the Three Mile Island accident, this only reinforced antinuclear movement, and has inspired many countries to create a new security regulations for the construction and operation of nuclear power plants are new.
As a long-term health effects, the spread of radiation from Chernobyl is estimated to result in hundreds of thousands of new cancer cases, and tens of thousands of them will end in death.
NEA report summarizes the impact of Chernobyl accident in the initial report in 2001:

The history of modern industry the world has been acting up time is affected by the disaster of equal or even more severe compared Chernobyl accident. However, this accident has a significant impact on human society. This not only causes severe health consequences, but also cause economic damage to industry and short-term and long-term consequences in terms of socio-economic turmoil, psychological distress, and destruction of nuclear energy picture. This is expected to last for a long time.

Fifteen years after the Chernobyl accident, the international community and trying to learn information to generalize this to the cases of smaller accidents. Hopefully, these lessons do not need to happen again in the incident with the size and scale of Chernobyl.*

This Five Facts Concerning The Human Body

The human body was created by God with all the advantages. A recent study in Brisbane, Australia, shows there are five facts about the human body. These facts may not yet well known. These five facts are:

1. The Human Body Can Produce Aspirin

Eat fruits and vegetables can make the human body to produce aspirin. This fact was discovered through a journal of food and vegetables. In fruits are benzoic acid, a natural substance that can produce salicylic acid which acts as immunity and painkiller.

2. Sleep Day At Work Good for the Body

Take a nap for 20 minutes can double the brain, improving mood, and creativity. William Anthony, an author of the book, The Art of napping at Work, says napping can help work your heart and refresh tired minds at work.


3. Ejaculation Can Make Men Sneeze

Some events such as headache or sneezing is the result of ejaculation. Thus any activity that increases with anxiety can spur the emergence of a headache. Sneezing is also influenced by the workings of the brain that are not stable. All the outdoor activities are also potentially create a human virus.

4. Everybody Has a Unique Tongue Prints

Like fingers, the tongue is a unique organ. The tongue can be changed when the mouth is moved. However, every human being has a unique tongue print. The tongue also indicates a satisfying and tastes.

5. Body Higher Than in the Morning Day Evening

The size of the human body can be changed but not stable. If you exercise, like playing basketball in the morning, then the height can be increased even in a moment. And at night, keep your height in normal circumstances.

Believe it or not? Can you prove yourself.

Millions of butterflies killed by a strange storm
by Ronald Buchanan, Mexico City


Scientists yesterday reported that hundreds of millions of monarch butterflies have died in a bizarre snowstorm in the mountains of Mexico, where these butterflies stay here every winter, after flying as far as 3000 miles (4800 km).
The U.S. and Mexican researchers estimate that as many as 270 million butterflies tails helpless polluted soil, after a storm last month in the pine forest, west of Mexico City.
"I've never seen anything like this," he said. Lincoln Brower, an American zoologist who has been monitoring this migration for 25 years.
Annual flight of this butterfly from the east, the direction Canada is far away, has been regarded as one of the great migrations in the animal world.
They descended into the forest in the form of large orange cloud every November.
Since their arrival coincided with the Feast of the Dead in Mexico, so many villagers who believed that these butterflies represent the spirits of their ancestors.

Dog Genetics

A dog who has a genetic disorder that is very rare, so rare it sampai2 discussed in the New York Times. Because of a genetic disorder that was the dog became rich Incredible Hulk. Weighs 27 pounds, this dog has great muscles. Never mind the six-pack, he has a 24-pack stomach!

We have these dogs become part of the genetic studies in the United States, to study the mutations in the myostatin gene dogs whippet (a type of greyhounds from England, bred for racing dogs). The modified gene can produce offspring more muscular reply that could run fast to 60 kmph.

In fact, this dog had feared ga segalak by orang2, he was pleased caressed, and ga malu2 to sit on your lap and ask dipunggungnya caressed. Unfortunately these dogs may live longer because ga weight twice like dogs, but with the size of the head, lungs and heart are the same, organ2 body must work 2-fold

Necrophilia, Psychopath who Liked to Fondle Virtual

Dr. And Dr. Jonathan Rosman. Philip Resnick necrophilia divided into three types:

First, necrophilic Homicide, the sufferer should be killed first in order to get the body and obtain sexual gratification.

Second, regular necrophilia, the person only uses the dead bodies for sexual pleasure.

Third, necrophilic fantasy, the person fantasizing having sex with a corpse, but did not do it.

Based on the study of 122 cases, most of the sufferers in the second group. Half of them work in a morgue or a funeral.

Here are some examples of cases that never happened:

A grave digger in Italy claiming excited and masturbated after burying the body of a beautiful young girl. In order to reach a climax he had touched the girl's body. Unusual sexual activity was carried out after a quiet and no one was around the cemetery. In his confession, he said it was making out with hundreds of corpses dikuburkannya. Within a week, he made the sex with the corpse between 4-5 times. He even had to suck blood and urine from the body of a girl who was a teenager.

History records a similar thing happened in Egypt thousands of years ago. The husband who fears his wife's body was treated by the embalmers obscene, save his wife's body in the house until it was rotting. One who has become a legend until now was King Herod who killed his wife, then had sex with her body for more than 7 years.

Sex necrophilia patients, 90 percent of men and heterosexuals. Only a small proportion involving gays and women. One of them, the story of a woman who served embalm corpses in a funeral company. During 4 months of his tenure he had sex with many of the dead man.

Why does this woman have a disorder that?

In his confession he says was never able to get sexual gratification from a man who was still alive. The reason, he had experienced something terrible, tortured and raped by a man. Well, when having sex with a corpse, he could do it without the need to feel scared. He feels more secure, and not feel threatened. In order for the body of the penis can penetrate, he put the pump under the skin of the penis victim.

About 60 percent of patients with psychiatric disorders necrophilia, even 10 percent of them are categorized as "crazy". Their job is not far away from the affairs of the body. There was a hospital nurse, employee of the cemetery, mortuary workers, priests, gravediggers and a small portion of them soldiers.

Immoral actions of the body most occurred before burial. But there are some cases where the bodies exhumed from the grave.

In 1985, in Italy, a 15-year-old girl was buried after dying from head injuries he suffered. Two days later, his tomb was found open. The corpse was no longer the girl in the chest but lying in the coffin. He wore a white shirt exposed to the groin. Based on the examination, he was known to have been raped. Of the two remaining spade on the grave, allegedly did more than one.

Expert neurology Germany, Richard von Krafft-Ebing, including the first scientist to expose cases of necrophilia in his book Psychopathia Sexualis, in 1886.

In his notes, he wrote of events that occurred in 1849. About a man who likes to chop up animals since childhood. He grew into an adult man who often fantasize being abusive. In that year, with his bare hands, he dug a number of new bodies buried in a cemetery in Paris, and then have sex with them. Not only that, this guy hacked the corpses with a shovel and let the flesh scattered around the cemetery. Facts on the ground showed he chewed some of the meat. One of the victims, the dead boy's 7-year-old. Although arrested and charged 15 charges, he was only sentenced to one year imprisonment. At trial he admitted that he could not control himself.

Other cases were recorded, involving the mortician who claimed to have had sex with more than 100 bodies were taken care. Sometimes, he dug back already buried corpse and brought him home. When his house searched, police found the body of a little girl aged 3 years had decayed and broken. He admitted fell sorry for the little girl who died from the disease was severe enough. After burial, he stole the body and perform oral sex, hoping to cure illness and bring him back. He even put the little boy's body at his side when sleeping. Police also found the body of her 13-year-old ABG which he called "bride". He kissed her from time to time, and laid on the table beside her bed.

There is also the case of a man named Henri Blot, who was arrested in France related to the case of necrophilia. One day, a prima ballerina dies, and blot dismantling grave. Completed sexual activity, Blot asleep, and woke up when the guards caught him in the grave in the grave. After review, the bodies proved to have been raped, and the blot was arrested. In the light of the trial, he said, "Every man has his own taste about sex. Taste my body's at."

Implementation of anti-necrophilia law in California, welcomed a number of parties, including Prof. Tyler Ochoa, from Santa Clara University School of Law who has long wrestle necrophilia cases.

"Several events during the last 10 years is enough to issue regulations in the form of law which insists necrophilia illegal," he said.

"So far, prosecutors do not have a" weapon "to prosecute any perpetrators of necrophilia. Cases like this are usually canceled and the record," said Ochoa. But he acknowledges, this case is difficult to handle when involving people who worked at a funeral or the morgue. (zrp / Reuters / multiple sources)

AIDS epidemic in the World

AIDS epidemic in the World
WORLDWIDE

The late 1970s - are currently
More than 22,000,000 People Killed


Twenty years after the first clinical evidence of decreased immune
have been reported, AIDS is most devastating disease ever
reported. Since the epidemic began, more than 60 million people infected with the virus
This ... this disease is the fourth largest killer in the world
-UNAIDS Joint United Nations Program on HIV / AIDS

In 1991, the World Health Organization (WHO) has estimated that by the end of this century, 40 million people worldwide could be infected by the HIV virus that causes AIDS.
In December 2001, UNAIDS and WHO Program reported that, worldwide, 40 million people have been infected by the HIV virus. We can ensure that the World Health Organization is not happy because this has proven true.
AIDS - Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome - is a disease caused by Human Immunodeficiency Virus (Virus Human Immune decline - HIV). The virus is spread through infected blood and sexual contact with an infected person (whether homosexual or heterosexual), and from mother to fetus. The AIDS virus has been isolated in 1984 by Dr. Richard Gallo of the U.S. National Cancer Institude, and Dr. Luc Montagnier of the Pasteur Institute of Paris.
Currently, there is no cure for AIDS, although care has increased to the point where many in the medical field now believe that this disease is more chronic (chronic) and not switched off immediately. Elements of this vulnerable control is not stopping the spread of this disease, and in any case, is now estimated that in 2004, the mortality rate refers to the AIDS death rate has exceeded the Black Death, and the Great Influenza Epidemic of 1918. Dr. Ward Cates, formerly with the Centers for Disease Control in the book by David Chilton, entitled Power in the blood, that "Every person who has the least ability to look at the future, be able to see that the potential of this disease is worse compared to anything I've ever seen people humans before. "(Emphasis added).
AIDS appeared in Africa in the 1950s, may have originated from green monkeys, and believed to have been transmitted to humans when an infected monkeys by the HIV virus has infected lab worker. A steward who is gay in ten cities through unsafe sex, and the disease then began to spread rapidly in the gay community. There is now widespread in women and children, just as occurred among homosexual.
AIDS attacks the human immune system through three disease processes: immunodeficiency, Autoimmunity, and nervous system dysfunction.
Immunodeficiency caused by AIDS causing infections and cancer drift attacking the body, and because the immune system becomes weak, damaged, or not working properly. Therefore, the body can not fight it.
Autoimmunity caused by AIDS is marked by a decrease in the number of pieces of blood, which in turn causes the organ does not function properly, as well as susceptibility to disease.
AIDS also attack the nervous system, although the perpetrators of the research has not found any specific dementia caused by AIDS, and believes that it is associated with nerve damage caused by the HIV virus.
Common disease in AIDS patients include pneumonia, Kaposi sarcoma (cancer of the blood vessels), lymphoma (cancer of the lymph nodes), as well as with various cancers and other infections. Treatment is now directed to slow the spread of the virus in the body and improve the quality of life of patients with infections and how to treat cancers caused by AIDS.
The Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta have reported the alarming statistical data following the report in June 2001.

• At present, 40 million people are estimated to live with HIV / AIDS. Of this amount 37.2 million are adults, 17.6 million are women, and 2.7 million are children under the age of fifteen years
• During the year 2001, AIDS is estimated to have caused the death of 3 million people, including 1.1 million women and 580,000 children under the age of fifteen years
• Women become more vulnerable to HIV. An estimated 48 percent or 17.6 million of the 37.2 million adults living with HIV or AIDS worldwide are women
• Most people living with HIV - about 95 percent of the total - now live in developing countries

AIDS is a hot topic in industrial countries high income. Sexual nature of its spread, and the fact that the disease appeared for the first time in the case of homosexuals, has brought the anti-gay sentiment is strong ¬ from the conservatives, and those who believe that their religion says homosexuality is wrong. Many people believe that AIDS is a punishment from God, so that they are struggling to encourage use of condoms and safe sex education, and believes that only through the cessation of homosexual practice was going to eliminate this disease from the world. This view is somewhat narrow-minded, because many people are infected at this time are heterosexual women, children, people who received blood transfuse infected, and a user of prohibited drugs is too late a needle into the vein.
Whatever the means of spreading the HIV virus or the social group most affected, the reality is that AIDS is one of the worst pandemic mankind pernahy hit. If the virus mutates so that it can be transmitted through the air, then AIDS is very easy to destroy life on earth.
Need for a vaccine and a cure is very important, because we can not ensure that AIDS will destroy itself, as is the case with the Black Death and influenza.




1 AIDS began to surface in the late 1970s, although the United States principal research could trace it back to the blood sample in the 1950s
UNAIDS Program reported 2 deaths due to AIDS as much as 2.8 million people in 1999, and in its final report, 3 million deaths from AIDS have occurred worldwide in 2001. Allegedly, in the future increase in mortality rates and a pandemic is predicted to be fatal in higher numbers in the world.

Observation Reports 4 HIV / AIDS, 2002

Small - Small But Dangerous Caution!

Usually animals enacting large we are afraid, but the list below shows only small animals may be dangerous reply or rather "painful". Although most of us rarely see the little creature is but a lot of cases declared the attack happened to a lot of people every year. This list does not include water animals.

1. Ticks (FLEAS).

Lice occupy the second rank after the mosquito as the agent of disease spread throughout most of this earth. They are sucking the blood from the "victim" (animal or human) ditempelinya reply.
Eradicating these creatures proved difficult because they usually leave the posterior head causing serious infection on his victim. Human disease is attributable ticks: Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, tularemia, Equine Encephalitis, Colorado Tick Fever, African Tick Bite Fever, and Ehrlichiosis (gk know what Indonesian ni, maybe gatel-gatel ya ...)

2. Tarantula Hawk.
Image Hosting

Not a tarantula but the headliner was a sort of insect hunt tarantulas reply as its main prey. Dangerous than the sting of this insect, one of the researchers-been stung by a Tarantula Hawk describes it "... all parts of the body becomes paralyzed because of the pain rara avis, and the only reply you may still be able to do is ... Scream!"

3. Tsetse fly.
Image Hosting

It is a big fly from Africa wrote to suck blood from animals and humans. They are cause illness "Sleeping Sickness" in humans and "Nagana" in cattle. Sleeping sickness caused by the parasite called Trypanosoma reply reply is transmitted from these flies. The symptoms of this disease are fever and headache creeper up to the neck. In the advanced stage patients will experience sleep for days and insomnia can reply ended with death.

4. Africanized Bees (Killer Bees).

This bee is produced from a cross between kimpoi Tanzanian queen bees with other species gk yg deliberately separated from the laboratory (rich in a monster film aja). What makes these bees is deadly instinct in defending the nest and the tendency for clustering.
They are also known to pursue its enemies, despite being far from the nest. I actually bee venom is the same as regular honey bees, but because they are very aggressive and adopt keroyokan system in attacking the victim could die because of this.

5. Deathstalker.
Image Hosting

His name is cool well. This is the type of scorpion venom is very dangerous reply. Usually consists of a mixture of substances neurotoxin, although the sting can gk yg kill a man healthy, but for small children or elderly injections this scorpion can be deadly. Ironically this kalajengkin jg can be used as drugs to brain tumors and diabetes.

6. Black Widow.
Image Hosting

These animals are known everywhere because usually more deadly cousin of the Rattlesnake bite. Fortunately for the small size of this spider can be produced jg yg gk too much, thereby reducing its effectiveness.

7. Army Ants (or Soldier Ant)
Image Hosting

When they were alone emang gk dangerous. But they are everywhere always clustered in the number of massive. And very dangerous reply ants around your house there is. Because when they are hungry your house can be invaded by these ants war with the army wrote the number could reach 50 million ants!
One of the victims (human) ant attack was reported to have died because of shortness of breath. Yes ants are attacking humans by entering the lung cavity so that the victim suffocated and then eat the organs of the body from the inside.

8. Bullet Ants (Ant bullet).
Image Hosting

This ant bites will not kill you. But you would not be able to forget it because these ants occupy one ranking as the animal with the most painful bite-been found in humans. Hence the name bite the bullet because it felt like a gun shot.
The bullet ant is ranked first in "Schmidt Sting Pain Index" and described its bite reply cause "heat wave irritation, pain and all the pain-been there - and wrote worse it lasts for 24 hours"

9. Anopheles Mosquito (Anopheles mosquitoes).
Image Hosting

Mosquitoes are regarded as the most deadly creatures in the world. For what? Every year they are the cause 300 million cases of malaria throughout the world where 1 to 3 million cases ended in death.
Anopheles mosquitoes also brought outbreaks of dengue fever, elephantiasis (elephantiasis) and yellow fever. They are active only at night.

BLACK DEATH

BLACK DEATH
EUROPE

1347-1351
75,000,000 People Killed

How many valiant men, how many beautiful women have breakfast with the family, and on that night, dinner with their ancestors in the next world! When witnessed, the condition of these people to invite pity. They were sick with thousands of people every day, died without accompanied, and without help. Many of them were killed in the open street, others dying in their homes, which is known through the stench of rotting bodies. Page churches that have been purified enough to accommodate the graves of the dead corpse reams of them, the bodies piled up hundreds of them in a very wide moat, like food in a boat, and wrapped up by the earth.
- Giovanni Boccaccio --

Jonathan

Jonathan settlement is a major city of the houses the bodies. There are a dozen rows of small houses stretched down the street was not paved little, in a small English village, and the people who have died inhabiting the houses along this road. Outbreaks have destroyed his village so quickly, so that all family members left without burial, and no prayer offered for any bodies. Dead city stench was blowing through the township with a distance of a mile.
Jonathan ignores a warm wind that does not meet this season, and moved slowly along the small house, supporting herself slowly along her little house, supporting himself with his left hand as she staggered toward a hole in her yard. This is the fourth day of illness, and he only has less than an hour to live.
Jonathan suffered from headaches throb, which has obscured his view. This he had never experienced before, and he was so tired that almost no strength to drag himself into the yard to pee. Although a small house and one-room had been littered with feces, vomit, and blood wife and children who have died, but Jonathan did not want to dirty his own house intentionally. Scripture will talk about the cleanliness of piety, and Jonathan are those who fear and obey God. So he dragged his feet, step by step into the small hole used by the family as a toilet, as he walked unsteadily to pray that she does not fall down and die here, outside, away from his family.
Jonathan reached thats hole at the edge of standing for a moment, his body swaying as dizzy and sick. When he felt steady enough to continue, so he loosened his pants, reached inside and pulled out his penis. He took a deep breath, and urine began to flow, he suffered terrible pain, burning and stinging lower back, and the folding legs. Breathing heavily, Jonathan looked down, saw that her urine red thick blackish, boiling like a fire, get out of his dying and disappearing into the depths of the hole.
Jonathan spirit rose because the sight of the dirty, black liquid which was unusual. "Ah, the poison has left my body," muttered Jonathan. "Praise God in all his glory."
A few last drops dripped from the body of Jonathan, more hurt than full flow he had just made, and he carefully put his pants, and a weak his zipper closed.
He returned to the house, feeling a little bit better because relief discard urine.
Jonathan made it into the house and immediately sat on the wooden table where she and her family had eaten all their meals, almost twelve years.
He looked at the bed in the corner of the room, and tears filled his eyes as he looked at the body of his wife, Sarah, who had died, along with their two daughters, Mary and Anna. She lies on her back with the girls on each arm. Their skin black, almost purple, and tubers develop large, protruding from their necks. They lay in a dirty puddle, and the flies buzzing over their bodies decompose quickly.
Black Death had approached a small village five days before Jonathan. Sarah and the girls get sick and they all died horrible deaths within three days. Jonathan knew that the time has arrived, and he silently prayed for a quick death. He knows that this is better than praying for a peaceful death.
Jonathan closed his eyes and tried to slow her breathing. When he inhale and exhale violently, his eyes began to blur and his headache suddenly got worse. In an instant he lost his sight at all, began vomiting, and suffered violent attacks. He fell from his chair and lay on my back. He kept shaking and thrashing around, and despite the final moments, he kept thinking about his family. Jonathan wanted to die with his wife and daughters, and he tried hard to crawl into bed where they lay.
But it was too late. Jonathan's body begins to bleed, blood and fluids out of her body. The last time through the agony and empty mind, and at the heart beating for the last time, he died with his arms reaching toward right beside wife and daughters.
Jonathan villages had been destroyed.

A year after Jonathan's death, a group of monks who were wandering the village came and found the houses inhabited by the skeletons of silence. At the end of the city, the head monk say prayer for the souls of the dead, then nodded toward his monks. With flaming torches, these monks lit a fire in the town and waited until all the houses on fire, before continuing their journey. That night, miles away from the village of Jonathan, these monks can watch the village of black smoke rose into heaven.

Year of the Rat

What is the difference between an epidemic and pandemic, and what terms should be used to describe the Black Death? The answer lies in its geographical coverage.
An epidemic is a disease outbreak and the affected area or specific geographic areas. Examples of epidemic typhus in Houston, and in other cities in Texas, will be considered a half epidemic. In contrast, pandemic, is a widespread outbreak, which covers an area much larger. An enteric disease has been endemic in all the states southwest, means have become pandemic, although it certainly is a question of how much the level of severity. At this time, the AIDS epidemic has really become a pandemic because the disease appeared in every region in the world.
Black Death that plagued Europe in some countries is considered as an epidemic, until the container is widespread in most of continental Europe. So then it becomes a pandemic.

Black Death is only the worst disaster that ever struck mankind.
In a four-year period between the years 1347 to 1350, the Black Death had killed more than 75 million people in Europe, reaching one-third to one-half the population of Europe. (Some sources quote a more conservative amount of 25 million people died, but apparently the number 75 is closer to the truth, if all deaths - including the death of the secondary - which is mentioned by this epidemic attacks helped summed.)
In December 1347, the Black Death had begun his attack in Europe. Weapons used to attack the lice. Lice transfer mode from region to region, country to country, the mice are everywhere. Lice fur throw litter in mice, and jumped to humans whenever they get a chance. Fleas carry the bacterium Yersinia pestis, which causes three types of plague, which when all three will join to create a destruction known as the Black Death.
The third form of this outbreak, according to the order of distribution is bubonic, pnemonia, and septicemic. All three lymph system attacks the body, causing enlargement of glands, fever, headache, vomiting, and pain in the joints. Pneumonia plague also causes coughing bloody mucus; septisemik outbreak causes skin color changed to purple, while cells in the body to bleed. In all cases, death came quickly, and the death rate varies from 30 to 75 percent for bubonic; 90 to 95 percent for pneumonic; and 100 percent for septicemic.
Black Death has been and still is one of the most frightening cause of death.

The immigrants are Deadly


The years of the most deadly epidemic is due in 1347, until early 1351.
In December 1347, the Black Death had attacked Constantinople (Turkey), such as the Italian islands of Sicily, Sardinia, and Corsica, as well as Marseille, France.
Six months later, in June 1348 the Black Death had been attacked throughout Greece and Italy, most of France, the third part of eastern Spain, and Part of the area is now Yugoslavia, Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina, and Croatia.
In December 1348, six months later and full a years after the first appearance in Europe, the Black Death has struck most of France and Austria, and has crossed the English Channel on a ship to attack the southern part of England.
Six months later, in June 1349, eighteen months after the attack, the Black Death had swept across Switzerland, southern Germany, the center of England, and throughout Austria.
