Wilson* Illinois Wesleyan University Caution: This document graphically reveals what happens to people caught one mile away from a small primitive nuclear weapon . Why world peace is necessary That Day: Monday, August 6, 1945, 8:15 AM : In the center of Hiroshima, just above Shima Hospital, it seemed like the sun had descended to the earth, followed by the sky blasting down like a Richter-10 cosmic quake from the gods, “rattling the earth’s axis,” scorching, searing, roasting, irradiating, blasting, and crushing everything and everyone below. It was as if the sun touched Hiroshima, creating a blazing inferno with no escape; hell was overflowing down onto the city; neutron radiation from the bomb made people’s bones radioactive (radio-chemical warfare ). Blast winds in excess of 200 miles per hour (mph), with blast overpressure blowing out ear drums and forcing eyeballs out of their sockets (like globe luxation ); it hurled and slammed people into stone walls. Scorched blistered skin sloughed and peeled off their bodies, dragging on the ground as they tried to escape the city. The retinas of eyes looking up were burned. Stone and concrete buildings were fire-gutted to their cores, the blast-shattered glass window fragments sharply tearing into the bodies of those within, and without. This happened to Hiroshima citizens, the children and families, within seconds on August 6. Birds and butterflies never had a chance.

    10/15/2015 Jenny Lewis Is Writing Songs Without Apology | Bitch Media MUSIC (/MUSIC) JENNY LEWIS (/TOPIC/JENNY­LEWIS) by Hannah Steinkopf-Frank (/profile/hannah-steinkopf-frank) Published on August 25, 2015 at 10:48am Jenny Lewis feels good. That sounds simple, but it’s been a long time coming for the ‘90s child actor turned prolific musician. As a kid, Lewis starred in films like The Wizard and Troop Beverly Hills before pursing music. Her band Rilo Kiley was part of the wave of indie groups that defined the alternative music scene of the aughts. But in recent years, Lewis has faced a series of setbacks: the disbanding of Rilo Kiley, the death of her father, and chronic insomnia. https://bitchmedia.org/article/interview-jenny-lewis-music-and-voyager-feminism 1/9 10/15/2015 Jenny Lewis Is Writing Songs Without Apology | Bitch Media It was these experiences that provided the material for last year’s The Voyager (http://www.jennylewis.com/), her first solo release since 2008’s Acid Tongue. For Lewis, making The Voyager was freeing. Without the pressure of bandmates, she was able to have total control over her music, albeit with the occasional guidance of Beck and Ryan Adams. Lewis has also returned to her Hollywood roots and scored best-friend flick Very Good Girls and 2014 film Song One, which starred her friend Anne Hathaway. Lewis most recently wrote a song with boyfriend and collaborator Jonathan Rice for Meryl Streep’s rocker character, Ricki, in the new film Ricki and the Flash (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3623726/).
