Seventy-one years ago, on a bright cloudless morning, death fell from the sky and the world was changed. A flash of light and a wall of fire destroyed a city and demonstrated that mankind possessed the means to destroy itself.
Why do we come to this place, to Hiroshima? We come to ponder a terrible force unleashed in a not-so-distant past. We come to mourn the dead, including over 100,000 Japanese men, women and children, thousands of Koreans, a dozen Americans held prisoner.
Their souls speak to us. They ask us to look inward, to take stock of who we are and what we might become.
It is not the fact of war that sets Hiroshima apart. Artifacts tell us that violent conflict appeared with the very first man. Our early ancestors having learned to make blades from flint and spears from wood used these tools not just for hunting but against their own kind. On every continent, the history of civilization is filled with war, whether driven by scarcity of grain or hunger for gold, compelled by nationalist fervor or religious zeal. Empires have risen and fallen. Peoples have been subjugated and liberated. And at each juncture, innocents have suffered, a countless toll, their names forgotten by time.
The world war that reached its brutal end in Hiroshima and Nagasaki was fought among the wealthiest and most powerful of nations. Their civilizations had given the world great cities and magnificent art. Their thinkers had advanced ideas of justice and harmony and truth. And yet the war grew out of the same base instinct for domination or conquest that had caused conflicts among the simplest tribes, an old pattern amplified by new capabilities and without new constraints.
In the span of a few years, some 60 million people would die. Men, women, children, no different than us. Shot, beaten, marched, bombed, jailed, starved, gassed to death. There are many sites around the world that chronicle this war, memorials that tell stories of courage and heroism, graves and empty camps that echo of unspeakable depravity.
Continue reading the main story
Yet in the image of a mushroom cloud that rose into these skies, we are most starkly reminded of humanity’s core contradiction. How the very spark that marks us as a species, our thoughts, our imagination, our language, our toolmaking, our ability to set ourselves apart from nature and bend it to our will — those very things also give us the capacity for unmatched destruction.
How often does material advancement or social innovation blind us to this truth? How easily we learn to justify violence in the name of some higher cause.
Every great religion promises a pathway to love and peace and righteousness, and yet no religion has been spared from believers who have claimed their faith as a license to kill.
Nations arise telling a story that binds people together in sacrifice and cooperation, allowing for remarkable feats. But those same stories have so often been used to oppress and dehumanize those who are different.
Science allows us to communicate across the seas and fly above the clouds, to cure disease and understand the cosmos, but those same discoveries can be turned into ever more efficient killing machines.
The wars of the modern age teach us this truth. Hiroshima teaches this truth. Technological progress without an equivalent progress in human institutions can doom us. The scientific revolution that led to the splitting of an atom requires a moral revolution as well.
That is why we come to this place. We stand here in the middle of this city and force ourselves to imagine the moment the bomb fell. We force ourselves to feel the dread of children confused by what they see. We listen to a silent cry. We remember all the innocents killed across the arc of that terrible war and the wars that came before and the wars that would follow.
Mere words cannot give voice to such suffering. But we have a shared responsibility to look directly into the eye of history and ask what we must do differently to curb such suffering again.
Some day, the voices of the hibakusha will no longer be with us to bear witness. But the memory of the morning of Aug. 6, 1945, must never fade. That memory allows us to fight complacency. It fuels our moral imagination. It allows us to change.
And since that fateful day, we have made choices that give us hope. The United States and Japan have forged not only an alliance but a friendship that has won far more for our people than we could ever claim through war. The nations of Europe built a union that replaced battlefields with bonds of commerce and democracy. Oppressed people and nations won liberation. An international community established institutions and treaties that work to avoid war and aspire to restrict and roll back and ultimately eliminate the existence of nuclear weapons.
Still, every act of aggression between nations, every act of terror and corruption and cruelty and oppression that we see around the world shows our work is never done. We may not be able to eliminate man’s capacity to do evil, so nations and the alliances that we form must possess the means to defend ourselves. But among those nations like my own that hold nuclear stockpiles, we must have the courage to escape the logic of fear and pursue a world without them.
We may not realize this goal in my lifetime, but persistent effort can roll back the possibility of catastrophe. We can chart a course that leads to the destruction of these stockpiles. We can stop the spread to new nations and secure deadly materials from fanatics.
And yet that is not enough. For we see around the world today how even the crudest rifles and barrel bombs can serve up violence on a terrible scale. We must change our mind-set about war itself. To prevent conflict through diplomacy and strive to end conflicts after they’ve begun. To see our growing interdependence as a cause for peaceful cooperation and not violent competition. To define our nations not by our capacity to destroy but by what we build. And perhaps, above all, we must reimagine our connection to one another as members of one human race.
For this, too, is what makes our species unique. We’re not bound by genetic code to repeat the mistakes of the past. We can learn. We can choose. We can tell our children a different story, one that describes a common humanity, one that makes war less likely and cruelty less easily accepted.
We see these stories in the hibakusha. The woman who forgave a pilot who flew the plane that dropped the atomic bomb because she recognized that what she really hated was war itself. The man who sought out families of Americans killed here because he believed their loss was equal to his own.
My own nation’s story began with simple words: All men are created equal and endowed by our creator with certain unalienable rights including life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Realizing that ideal has never been easy, even within our own borders, even among our own citizens. But staying true to that story is worth the effort. It is an ideal to be strived for, an ideal that extends across continents and across oceans. The irreducible worth of every person, the insistence that every life is precious, the radical and necessary notion that we are part of a single human family — that is the story that we all must tell.
That is why we come to Hiroshima. So that we might think of people we love. The first smile from our children in the morning. The gentle touch from a spouse over the kitchen table. The comforting embrace of a parent. We can think of those things and know that those same precious moments took place here, 71 years ago.
Those who died, they are like us. Ordinary people understand this, I think. They do not want more war. They would rather that the wonders of science be focused on improving life and not eliminating it. When the choices made by nations, when the choices made by leaders, reflect this simple wisdom, then the lesson of Hiroshima is done.
The world was forever changed here, but today the children of this city will go through their day in peace. What a precious thing that is. It is worth protecting, and then extending to every child. That is a future we can choose, a future in which Hiroshima and Nagasaki are known not as the dawn of atomic warfare but as the start of our own moral awakening.

The Man Who Wrote Obama's Hiroshima Speech:



Ben Rhodes

Barack Obama has always been a superior orator. For many, his speech to the Democratic convention in 2004 was the most memorable moment of John Kerry’s presidential campaign. Since arriving in the White House, the lyrical quality of his rhetoric has continued to soar higher than actual policy achievements, especially when it comes to nuclear disarmament.

Like every president, however, Obama’s speeches are the product of teamwork. For the Hiroshima speech, his closest collaborator will have been Ben Rhodes, the deputy national security adviser for strategic communications and speechwriting, who trailed the Hiroshima address in a blogpost.


Barack Obama says memory of Hiroshima 'must never fade'

We now know a lot about Rhodes, due to a recent very long and controversial profile in the New York Times magazine. We know he studied literature and was an aspiring novelist at the time of 9/11, which got him interested in foreign policy. The article is controversial because Rhodes claimed to have orchestrated naive Washington journalists and thinktanks into accepting last year’s nuclear deal with Iran.

That might have been an overestimation of Rhodes’ influence but there is no doubting his skills as a wordsmith. The Times article quotes the American novelist Don DeLillo as an inspiration several times. Rhodes would have honed the first and last drafts with Obama but, in between those stages, presidential speeches are almost always the work of a committee. Drafts are sent to any government department with a potential interest, inviting input.

In this case, the speech would have gone to defence, state and the Department of Energy, to ensure it was comprehensive and free of gaffes. Then it would go back to Rhodes. But the final author is Obama himself. The delivered version of Obama speeches are covered with his longhand notes. The dominant voice does seem to be the man himself.

Blommorna räcker inte åt både humlor och honungsbin



När rapsen har blommat över finns det för få blommor i den skånska slättbygden för att det ska räcka till både honungsbin och vilda humlor. Det visas i en studie gjord vid Lunds universitet.
- Det är det första storskaliga experimentet som undersöker konkurrensen mellan honungsbin och vilda pollinatörer, säger forskaren Lina Herbertsson.
I undersökningen har hon samarbetat med biodlare som placerat ut bikupor på nio olika platser runt om i Skåne. Samtidigt har tio andra platser hållits helt fria från bikupor inom en radie på en kilometer. Därefter räknades humlor både på platser med bikupor och på platser fria från bikupor.
- Resultatet visar att honungsbin hotar vilda humlor genom att konkurrera med dem i jakten på nektar och pollen. Att effekten av den här konkurrensen var så tydlig som den var förvånade mig, säger Lina Herbertsson.
Förutom detta visar undersökningen också att små humlearter är känsligare än stora, något som sannolikt beror på att de inte kan flyga lika långt som större arter i jakten på mat. Det mest positiva i undersökningen är att mer blommor i landskapet visade sig minska konkurrensen mellan honungsbin och vilda pollinatörer.
- Vi är glada att vi kan erbjuda en lösning eftersom biodling är ett kulturarv och en förutsättning för att folk ska kunna äta honung, säger Lina Herbertsson.
En lösning på nuvarande situation kan vara att skapa utrymme för fler blommor i jordbrukslandskapet. Traditionella ängs- och betesmarker förser pollinerande insekter med mat från tidig vår ända in på hösten. Att restaurera och sköta om dem vore troligtvis det bästa alternativet för humlorna. Som alternativ till det kan lantbrukare lämna remsor som besås med nektar- och pollenrika blommor. Används olika typer av blommor gynnar det olika arter av bin.
- Det behövs dock ytterligare studier för att ta reda på hur vi bäst kan kompensera humlor för det som honungsbina samlar in, säger Lina Herbertsson.

In fact, though scientists recognize that there are 13 vitamins that are essential for good health, there is no real consensus on what they actually do and exactly how much of them we truly need.

Alcohol Exposure During Adolescence Leads to Chronic Stress Vulnerability

BINGHAMTON, NY - Drinking during early to mid-adolescence can lead to vulnerability to chronic stress, according to new research from Binghamton University, State University of New York.
A research team led by Linda Spear, distinguished professor of psychology at Binghamton University, gave alcohol to rats every other day, starting from early to mid-adolescence. When the team looked at the same rats in adulthood, they found that adult males didn't show hormonal stress adaptation, making them more vulnerable to chronic stress.
"Stress hormones are released when you get anxious or are in a stressful circumstance," said Spear. "The classic stress hormone is cortisol in humans; it's corticosterone in rats. When you expose the animals to a stressor, the first time they show a large hormone stress response. However, this hormonal response normally adapts over time, such that less hormone is released following repeated exposure to a relatively mild stressor. And that's important, because cortisol or corticosterone helps you respond to an emergency. But it's bad to have elevated levels in the long term, because sustained elevations in these levels of these hormones have adverse effects on a lot of body systems. So cortisol is needed for emergencies, but you don't want it elevated all the time. And what we found is that following adolescent alcohol exposure, adults don't show that hormonal stress adaptation. They don't adapt to the chronic stressor, which suggests that they may be more vulnerable later to chronic stress."
Spear's work is a part of a national consortium, funded by the National Institute of Alcohol and Alcohol Abuse, that's examining, using animal models, the effects of alcohol exposure during adolescence.
"I think what these studies are showing is that there are long-lasting effects from adolescent alcohol exposure, and it is not innocuous. And these effects are most dramatic with exposures during mid- and early adolescence, which is the time when alcohol use is typically initiated in humans. So now we're trying to understand the neural mechanisms that underlie these effects, and ways to prevent or reverse consequences of adolescent alcohol exposure," said Spear.




The above story is based on materials provided by Binghamton University.
Norrlandsregionen - ganska utbredd ;)
Norrlänningarna borde kräva folkomröstning!
Efter ett möte med regioner och landsting i onsdags stod det klart att tre områden är redo att gå vidare med att bilda storregioner från 2019. Det är en norrlandsregion med de fyra nordligaste länen, en västsvensk region med Västra Götaland och Värmland och en Svealandsregion med Uppsala, Örebro, Gävleborg, Dalarna, Västmanland och Sörmland. Detta bekräftar regionutredaren Kent Johansson för Dagens Medicin. Den sista juni ska han tillsammans med sin utredarkollega Barbro Holmberg lägga fram ett förslag till regeringen den sista juni om vilka regioner som kan bildas från 2019.
– Det kommer att vara ett förslag baserat på var det finns förutsättningar att bilda nya regioner 2019, säger Kent Johansson.
Jämfört med den karta som regionutredarna tidigare presenterat saknas Halland i den västsvenska regionen. Men den tidigare kartan står fast enligt Kent Johansson. Om inte Halland vill gå in i en storregion från 2019 kan de istället få vänta till 2023. I augusti nästa år ska regionutredarna presentera sitt förslag på hur regionindelningen ska se ut från 2023./Dagens Medicin




Dagens Medicin, läsarkommentar,  2016-05-21
"Löp hela linan ut.Gör som i Norge lägg ner landstingen-förstaliga vården.Entlediga alla sjukvårdspolitiker som inte låter sjukvårdpersonal få arbetsro någon gång. Sjukvården är till för patienterna.Inte för sjukvårdspolitikers behov att förverkliga sina vansinniga ideer.".

Ur insändarartikel i Östersundsposten:
"I de flesta av Europas länder har staten det övergripande ansvaret för sjukvården. Så är det inte i Sverige där ansvaret har delegerats till många hundra landstingspolitiker, de allra flesta utan sjukvårdsutbildning.Trots att de svenska väljarna anser att sjukvården är en av de allra viktigaste samhällsfrågorna förs inte någon bred debatt om vården inför riksdagsvalen. Detta därför att riksdagspolitikerna ju inte har något direkt ansvar för sjukvården. Ansvaret för sjukvården ligger hos landstingen, totalt 21 stycken med mycket olika förutsättningar vad gäller befolkning, ekonomi och vårdbehov.".

The Big Picture: On the Origins of Life, Meaning, and the Universe Itself
av Sean B. Carroll
INBUNDEN, Engelska, 2016
217 KR hos Adlibris


Description
Weaving the threads of astronomy, physics, chemistry, biology, and philosophy into a seamless narrative tapestry, Sean Carroll enthralls us with what we ve figured out in the universe and humbles us with what we don't yet understand. Yet in the end, it's the meaning of it all that feeds your soul of curiosity.
Neil deGrasse Tyson, host of "Cosmos: A SpaceTime Odyssey"
*"Publishers Weekly" #1 Most Anticipated Science Book of Spring 2016*
Already internationally acclaimed for his elegant, lucid writing on the most challenging notions in modern physics, Sean Carroll is emerging as one of the greatest humanist thinkers of his generation as he brings his extraordinary intellect to bear not only on Higgs bosons and extra dimensions but now also on our deepest personal questions. Where are we? Who are we? Are our emotions, our beliefs, and our hopes and dreams ultimately meaningless out there in the void? Does human purpose and meaning fit into a scientific worldview?
In short chapters filled with intriguing historical anecdotes, personal asides, and rigorous exposition, readers learn the difference between how the world works at the quantum level, the cosmic level, and the human level--and then how each connects to the other. Carroll's presentation of the principles that have guided the scientific revolution from Darwin and Einstein to the origins of life, consciousness, and the universe is dazzlingly unique.
Carroll shows how an avalanche of discoveries in the past few hundred years has changed our world and what really matters to us. Our lives are dwarfed like never before by the immensity of space and time, but they are redeemed by our capacity to comprehend it and give it meaning.
"The Big Picture "is an unprecedented scientific worldview, a tour de force that will sit on shelves alongside the works of Stephen Hawking, Carl Sagan, Daniel Dennett, and E. O. Wilson for years to come.

Ät nötter, tycker europeiska kardiologer

I dag presenterar det Europeiska kardiologisällskapet sina nya rekommendationer för prevention av hjärt-kärlsjukdom. Dokumentet fokuserar ännu mer än tidigare på förbättring av levnadsvanor.

– Vi är till exempel tydliga med att man inte ska släppa hem en hjärtpatient från ett sjukhus utan att det ska finnas en plan för sekundärprevention, inklusive livsstilsåtgärder, säger Joep Perk, kardiolog och professor i hälsovetenskap vid Linnéuniversitetet, som är en av författarna till de nya rekommendationerna.
När det gäller kosten är en nyhet att  experterna mer specifikt lyfter fram betydelsen av nötter. I rekommendationernas definition av en hälsosam kost ingår nämligen 30 gram osaltade nötter per dag. Experterna lutar sig här mot en meta-analys som pekar på att detta dagsintag kan minska risken för hjärt-kärlsjukdom med runt 30 procent.  
– Det finns mycket forskning som pekar på nyttan av nötter, säger Joep Perk.
Han lyfter också fram att rekommendationerna nu blivit mer ”politiska”. De har tydliga budskap till makthavare om införande av olika åtgärder för att förbättra hjärt-kärlhälsan och anger vilka vetenskapliga evidens det finns för dessa.
– Vi vill bland att se tydligare innehållsdeklarationer på matvaror om hur mycket kalorier, socker och salt de innehåller. Och rökning bör till exempel inte vara tillåtet i och utanför skolor och förskolor, säger Joep Perk.
De nya rekommendationerna presenteras på det europeiska hjärtsviktsmötet i Florens, Italien. Bakom dokumentet står förutom det europeiska kardiologisällskapet också nio andra organisationer.

The album "What's Going On" by Marvin Gaye was released

Tsunamis waves tall enough to swallow the Statue of Liberty washed away the shorelines of Mars’s ancient ocean, according to a study published Thursday.

In the wake of their destructive force, a Martian mystery was born.

Planetary scientists had hypothesized for decades that a primordial ocean might have once covered much of the red planet’s northern hemisphere. Last year they presented molecular traces of atmospheric water that backed the claim. But still missing from their theory were visible traces of the ocean’s coastline.
