The entire window frame has been forced into the room. There has been an interval of perhaps ten seconds since the flash of light.
HOW TO CUT TREES ATOMIC SOCIETY WINDOWS
On the way from the window, I hear a moderately loud explosion which seems to come from a distance and, at the same time, the windows are broken in with a loud crash. As I make for the door, it doesn't occur to me that the light might have something to do with enemy planes. I jump to the window to find out the cause of this remarkable phenomenon, but I see nothing more than that brilliant yellow light. Suddenly-the time is approximately 8:14-the whole valley is filled by a garish light which resembles the magnesium light used in photography, and I am conscious of a wave of heat.
From my window, I have a wonderful view down the valley to the edge of the city. The Novitiate is situated approximately two kilometers from Hiroshima, half-way up the sides of a broad valley which stretches from the town at sea level into this mountainous hinterland, and through which courses a river. I am sitting in my room at the Novitiate of the Society of Jesus in Nagatsuke during the past half year, the philosophical and theological section of our Mission had been evacuated to this place from Tokyo. No one paid any attention and at about eight o'clock, the all-clear was sounded. About seven o'clock, there was an air raid alarm which we had heard almost every day and a few planes appeared over the city. There were fantastic rumors that the enemy had something special in mind for this city, but no one dreamed that the end would come in such a fashion as on the morning of August 6th.Īugust 6th began in a bright, clear, summer morning. The citizens wondered why they alone had remained undisturbed for so long a time. There were almost daily observation planes over the city but none of them dropped a bomb.
Many cities roundabout, one after the other, were destroyed, but Hiroshima itself remained protected. The results suggested that 'Sweetheart' cherries are rich in various essential elements, with main emphasis for K and Mg, and might be considered as an important dietary mineral enrichment for individuals deficient in mineral elements.Up to August 6th, occasional bombs, which did no great damage, had fallen on Hiroshima. For Mg and K, 'Sweetheart' cherry presented higher concentrations than literature: (Mg) 11.0 and (K) 222 mg 100 g -1. Based on obtained results the content of minor elements was (Cu) 0.107, (Fe) 0.325, (Mn) 0.204 and (Zn) 0.090 mg 100 g -1. Prior to ICP-AES measurement, the samples were mineralized with a mixture of HNO 3 and H 2O 2. Inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) was used for the determination of minor and major elements. Therefore, the mineral content of 'Sweetheart' cherry was studied. In this work we studied the 'Sweetheart' cultivar from Cova da Beira (Portugal), as this fruit is a rich source of nutritional components. Only little is known about the mineral content of sweet cherries. There are some investigations regarding the physical and chemical properties of sweet cherry ( Prunus avium L.) fruits, mostly their antioxidant capacity, phenol, ascorbic acid, as well as anthocyanin contents.
